The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 159 The Battle of Yongping

This is often the case when the two armies are at a stalemate. Ayushi brought a hundred armored men to appear at the south gate of Luanzhou in time to hack and kill, which immediately boosted the confidence of the guards.

As soon as the banner of the Ming army ascended the city fell, the soldiers who bravely killed the top of the city with a gust of blood were not stable. Their morale was immediately affected and they fell into chaos in the blink of an eye, and they were beaten down by Jiannu again.

Just after stabilizing the situation, before the Jin army took a breather, the Ming army began to bombard the city with red cannons.In an instant, the city wall collapsed, and the already crumbling south gate of Luanzhou was destroyed.

These post-Golden troops were more tenacious, still slashing and chopping among the rubble, the offensive and defensive battles became fierce, and the Ming army who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties.

Namutai reckoned that Luanzhou's troops would not be able to defend the city, so he quickly dispatched sentry horses galloping to Yongping, expecting Amin to send troops to attack the Ming army's rear, and strive to win the Ming army by field battles.

A Min knew that the three Gushan's troops stationed in Luanzhou were all elites, and their number was almost the same as that of the Yongping garrison. Even their asking for help showed how serious the situation was.

Damn, Lao Ba has no good intentions!No wonder I asked Lao Tzu to bring people here, he was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Amin can only mobilize [-] armored men now, and Luanzhou is being attacked by tens of thousands of Ming troops. How can he send reinforcements?

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and dispatch Jiala Erzhenba Tuli to order four hundred armored men and three hundred bannermen who could ride horses and could barely ride and fight to rush to help.

He told Baduli to discuss with Turg and Namutay after seeing Gushan Ezhen, if Luanzhou is really difficult to defend, it is best to choose to give up.

Just like in history, after Amin sent off the 700 troops of Baduli, he also ordered the troops of the headquarters. He was not going to rescue Luanzhou himself, but was preparing for the run to Qian'an.

The kid thought about it, entering and leaving the pass in a hurry, he hasn't caught anything yet, so if he just left like this, wouldn't it be a waste of time to visit the rich and prosperous Daming Pass.

At this time, the pseudo-governor Bai Yangcui, the prefect Zhang Yangchu and other traitors arrived.

A Min knew that most of the Ming officials were extravagant and lustful, especially those who chose to voluntarily surrender to the Dajin Kingdom. Seeing Bai Yangcui and other Han officials at this time seemed to be seeing white silver and watery beauties.

These traitors found out that Amin gathered troops and felt that something was wrong. They had already heard the news that the Ming army attacked Luanzhou, and they also knew from the sentry horses that the white soldiers and the "Red Banner Army" were already on their way to Yongping Prefecture. Like a frightened bird.

The traitors were worried that Amin would personally lead the troops to rescue Luanzhou, and they were also afraid that he would abandon Yongping Fucheng and run away on his own, so they rushed to have a look.

Bai Yangcui, who had voluntarily shaved his head and became the governor of Dajin Kingdom Yongping, said with a mournful face, "Lord Baylor, quickly deploy manpower to guard the city, and send a messenger to ask the Great Khan to send reinforcements early! If it is too late, the messengers of the Ming army besieging the city will be sent to the city." Can't get out."

Amin has never given any traitor a good face, he despises these people from the bottom of his heart, and scoffs at the eighth brother's reuse of these Nikan behaviors.

He scolded: "Fool! What are you talking about, you fucking Nikan? Is it possible to let the Eight Banners enter the customs again just to rescue us? Even if the old eight is stupid, how many days will it take for the troops to come here? Can Ben Baylor wait in time?" ?”

Zhang Yangchu asked weakly: "If there is no reinforcements, the troops in Yongping City may not be able to hold it. I wonder if Lord Baylor has a clever plan?"

Amin said angrily: "Why are you so nervous when the Ming army called, at worst, you should surrender."

Bai Yangcui hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "Lord Baylor, you can't talk nonsense. I am loved by the Great Khan. I am the governor of the Great Jin Kingdom Yongping who was appointed by the Great Khan. I should be devoted to my duty for the Great Jin Kingdom."

A Min looked at Bai Yangcui, who looked like a dog, and was extremely disgusted. He was even more annoyed when he saw that he brought out his eighth younger brother to talk about things, and cursed: "You shitty governor, you are just a dog slave wagging your tail, die!" Suddenly With a wave of Shun Dao, the traitor's head rolled to the ground.

He shouted to his followers: "The Ming army attacked the city, and the Han officials are bound to rebel. Let's act first and let Lao Tzu kill them. Kill all these people who are like dogs."

Killing Han people and building slaves has become a habit for everyone, and he killed dozens of Han officials who came to the inspector's yamen. Amin got up and shouted: "My sons, go with Ben Baylor!" These Chinese dogs are going to search for gold and silver in their homes to steal beautiful women!"

Jian slave master has already taken the lead in killing and robbing for no reason, and the gang of beasts under his command are of course even more ferocious, and soon Yongping City is full of crying and howling.

At this time, Zheng Guochang's men and horses had left the Shaheyi camp and marched towards the west gate of Yongping Fucheng. The well-prepared "Red Banner Army" galloped forward and rushed to the city first.

Amin was about to abandon Yongping. At this time, he led more than a thousand armored men, several hundred bannermen, and coated slaves to do everything possible to rob them. They were extremely ferocious, no matter young or old, they would kill anyone they saw.

He did not deploy troops to strengthen the city defense at all, and even the chief general of the Hou Jin Army who originally guarded the four gates took his subordinates to participate in the carnival of looting, killing, and humiliating women.

The "Red Banner Army" reached the west gate of Yongping at the fastest speed, and encountered almost no resistance and harassment on the way.

When the people came to the gate of Ximen City, they found that there were not many slave guards at the top of the city. When they saw a large group of Ming troops rushing towards them, they all panicked.

The "Red Banner Army" has rehearsed many times how to capture the city, and now all the troops have arrived, with two thousand laborers accompanying the army. All the infantry came on horseback or in carriages, and even the wheelbarrows were transported in place by carriages.

Of course, Huang Han knew the cruelty of offensive and defensive warfare, and he also knew that he had to face many wounded Ming soldiers and ordinary people. The army doctor Li Mulin, the medical officer Liu Dashou and the medical soldier Guo Xiao all came. Women of the wounded were also allowed to accompany the army.

Medicines, alcohol, gauze, etc. are extremely well prepared.Huang Kezao, Tianxiang, and Cailian also volunteered to join the ambulance team. In fact, they still had selfish intentions, and they probably wanted to see if they could save a few former brothers and sisters.

As soon as the "Red Banner Army" troops were in place, Song Pengfei's firearms troops immediately launched an attack formation.

Seventy blunderbusses and fifteen guns crackled, not only three hundred archers shot feather arrows one after another, but four or five hundred cavalry archers also dismounted and lined up to attack on foot under the leadership of Huang Yizhou.

The less than [-] cavalry brought by Ma Xianglin hadn't practiced with the "Red Banner Army" before, so taking part in the siege would only add to the chaos.

The firepower network composed of direct lead bullets and bow and arrow projectiles worked well. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the few defenders ran down the city wall. Of course, they were going to take their horses and escape.
