Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 894 Down and over, Sun Chuanting was kidnapped by his subordinates and joined the Datong Party
Liaodong, Daxing Fort.

The sound of the cannons was rumbling, and the thunderous cannons did not stop for a moment, and the shouts of killing continued to echo on the battlefield, as if they would never stop.

At this time, Daxing Fort was completely shrouded in flames of war. The ground on the battlefield was full of potholes and blood, and deep marks criss-crossed on the battlefield, which were the bullet marks plowed by shells.

The originally hard ground has now become extremely soft, and everyone is used to the mixed smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

Sun Chuanting couldn't remember how many attacks he had launched in the past few days. His army was blocked here at Daxing Fort, and he couldn't get through at all.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a general with a face covered in gunpowder smoke and dust, wearing a six-petal iron helmet and a mountain-patterned iron armor, ran to the Chinese general's platform and knelt down on one knee: "General soldier, the end!" Will."

As he said that, the general lowered his head, he didn't know what to say.

Sun Chuanting waved his hand: "I can see that you Liuziying have tried your best. 5000 people went up and fought for half an hour before being repulsed. More than half of the casualties, you have worked hard."

"Go down and rest, pass on my general order, and let the Korean characters camp."

One hundred thousand troops are not subordinate to each other, so it is not easy to integrate them.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting simply divided the 5000 troops into [-] battalions by each prefecture, each with [-] men, under the command of the generals and schools of the prefecture.

The first battalion is full of folks, and they are all trustworthy companions. The generals dare to fight, and the sergeants are naturally not afraid of death. It can be said that such an army formed with the ties of the countryside is very tenacious in fighting.

"Sun Zongbing, how did this battle become like this?" Gao Qiqian did not know when he came to the battlefield.

He didn't want to come here either, but after so many days of stalemate here in Daxing Fort, he couldn't sit still anymore. He wanted to save Yang Shengwu. Since the army arrived in Daxing Fort, the connection with Yang Shengwu in Jinzhou was completely severed. up.

This short distance devoured all news like a vacuum, dividing Jinzhou and Daxing Fort into two battlefields, and no one knew what was going on on the other side.

"We can't go on like this!" Gao Qiqian said.

Sun Chuanting glanced at Gao Qiqian: "Then what can you do, Gao Supervisor? If you don't break Daxing Fort, how can you save Governor Yang?"

Gao Qiqian thought for a while and said, "Can the army take the sea route? Or pass through the grassland?"

After hearing Gao Qiqian's two words, Sun Chuanting didn't want to talk to him anymore.

A person who doesn't know anything is talking nonsense here. If he can really go to the grassland or the sea, why is he smashing Daxing Castle here?

But whoever is a general will not cherish the soldiers, and whoever does not cherish the soldiers will end well?
But no matter how much you love soldiers like children on weekdays, you have to be ruthless when it's time to take your life.

It's not that Sun Chuanting didn't think of a way. Not only did he attack on the front line of Daxing Fort, but he actually mobilized five battalions to attack Xingshan Post. After passing Xingshan Post, it was very close to Songshan Fort!
In Daxing Castle, Fang Yunchu looked at the map with a very relaxed expression: "Right now our enemies are divided into two groups. They have been attacking for four days in a row. At most one more day, they will have to rest."

"Five days of bloody battle, these Ming troops are fighting hard enough, unfortunately, they have no chance."

There is only one town here in Daxingbao?
wrong!
Since it was decided to fight a decisive battle here in Liaodong, the Datong army in the entire Northeast has been mobilizing. On the surface, Datong only has six towns in the Northeast, but this does not include the militia.

Many militiamen have been trained all year round, and they can be armed in time of war. It may be worse in field battles, but it is still possible to defend the city and fight against them.

Fang Yunchu is not a town here. In fact, the fourth town is in Xingshanyi at this time, blocking the successive charges of the five battalions of the Ming army, and Daxing Fort is the first town, which is stationed in the center of Shenyang. The elite was also transferred by Zhang Haogu.

In Zhang Haogu's words, it is: "At this moment, what we are fighting for is not other things, but hard power. There are many enemies. For us, this may be a pot of raw rice, but even if it is raw rice, we have to take this 30 enemies were eaten."

It was another day of bloody battle, before the smoke cleared, on this battlefield full of gunpowder smoke and blood, the soldiers of the Ming army returned to the camp numbly after a day of fierce fighting, even though the smell of food was already wafting in the camp, the soldiers His expression was still numb and his eyes were empty.

They have been fighting here for five days, and they can't remember how many times they charged, and how many Paoze brothers died. Their food is almost eaten up, and their armor is in tatters. They are almost unable to hold on. up.

On the other side of them, there are still so many cannons and blunderbusses on the defense lines of Daxing Fort, and the ammunition seems to be endless. There are also many sharp firearms that originally belonged to Daming, and now they have become threats that they must solve. .

Returning to the camp like a walking corpse, listening to the wailing and groaning of the wounded soldiers behind the camp, each sergeant silently led the meal for the night, a bowl of vegetable soup for each person, and a multigrain pancake was everyone’s meal, and there were no more .

Drinking only a few wild vegetables floating in the air, slightly oily and salty vegetable soup, and eating pancakes made of a mixture of various grains, the sergeants' eyes were dull, and they didn't know how long such days would last.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Qiqian was angry at Sun Chuanting: "Mr. Sun! Those wounded soldiers are hopeless, and there is not much food. If you still prepare food for them, how long can we last?" ?”

"Gao Jianjun, have you ever thought about it? Those wounded soldiers are also my soldiers, and their brothers and folks are all here. Turn a blind eye to them and let them starve to death? Then the whole army will be rebellious!" Sun Chuanting also became angry. , Gao Qiqian, an eunuch who doesn't understand anything, is simply holding back here!

Gao Qiqian's expression was ferocious: "We don't have much time. How many days has there been no news from Governor Yang? Have you done the math, Zongbing Sun?"

"The soldiers are already desperate, what else can we do? Are there 2 or [-] people on the opposite side? There are at least [-] people on the other side!" Sun Chuanting was completely annoyed, "Gao Jianjun, what purpose do you have to ruin these ten people? Wan Dajun can't?"

"It wasn't me who ruined the army, it was you. You couldn't fight it, and you couldn't join forces with Governor Yang. Even if we returned to the capital, we would have to walk through Caishikou!" Gao Qiqian roared.

The voice from the big tent of the Chinese army spread outside, the generals and school of each battalion looked at me and I looked at you, with different expressions, but no one spoke.

It was another day of bloody battle. This was the fifth day that Sun Chuanting launched an offensive. Compared with the ferocious offensive of the previous four days, the Ming army's attack on this day was significantly weakened. The Ming army was no longer so fierce and fearless. is good news.

In Daxing Fort, Fang Yunchu held a binoculars and looked at the Ming army camp outside the smoke of the battlefield: "Judging from the stove fire, the Ming army may not have enough food. Hey, God helped me."

"Let the soldiers prepare to shout, and the Ming army should not be able to fight tomorrow."

That night, the soldiers of the Ming army lay sparsely in the tents, extremely exhausted. Their food was getting less and less, and that little food could not support the daily high-intensity charge. Every time they asked the officer for food, the officer They all looked left and right to talk about its prevarication.

A feeling of despair shrouded the hearts of everyone in the Ming army. Although no one said it, they already knew that they might not survive. For such a long time, it was enough for the big party to send troops to surround them.

And up to now, there is no news from the front, and the food road in the rear has been cut off, which can explain a lot of things. They can't hold on anymore, but they really don't want to die.

As for Songshan Fort, Yang Shengwu and his soldiers have been defending here for six days, and there is not much food left. The soldiers are even more exhausted, and everyone's spirit is about to break.

"Brothers of the Ming army, don't be stubborn!"

"It doesn't matter if it's from the North or the South, after all, aren't they all from China? We're all brothers, so why should relatives hurt enemies? After all, we are our own people."

"We are all soldiers. Isn't the purpose of being a soldier just to eat food and make our family live a better life? Brothers, think about how everyone lived when Zhang Shoufu was in power, and think about what you are living now. Days. Is this Chongzhen really worth the brothers' lives?"

"Brothers are working hard on the front line. What are those corrupt officials and powerful landlords doing? They are embezzling brothers' hard-earned money and insulting their parents, wives and children. Is such a court worth brothers dying here?"

"Why did the family's fields disappear? How did the food and money be taken away? Why are the brothers so poor? Why are the brothers who were respected heroes in the previous dynasty, but now they are in such a desolate state?"

"Brothers, think about it carefully. We are one family. Those landlords and gentry, those powerful officials, do they really treat their brothers as their own? Those decadent feudal classes will never accept us. We should unite, To break this rotten old world."

"Brothers, stop fighting and surrender. You are all good men, and we will not abuse you. If you surrender, you will have food and rest. When our Datong Party fights back, brothers can also share a few acres in their hometown. Tian, ​​live steadily!"

The loudspeakers kept shouting, and the sergeants in Songshan Fort were shaken.

They fought bloody battles here for more than a month, from Suizhong all the way to Jinzhou, and then retreated to Songshan Fort. 18 troops came out of Shanhaiguan, and now only 3 people are left to hold on. What is the reason?
Seeing brothers Paoze die in pain because their injuries could not be treated in time, seeing the food in their hands getting less and less, and the battle armor getting more and more worn out, everyone could see no hope.

Originally, if there were reinforcements, they might still be able to hold on, but where are the reinforcements?

Have they been abandoned by the court?

Think about it carefully, who among those big shots treats them as human beings?

The Ming army in Songshan Fort wavered, and so did the Ming army generals.

Yang Shengwu discovered this, and he always asked the soldiers to insist that reinforcements would definitely arrive, but one general couldn't help but asked: "Governor, brothers also want to persevere, but there is no food left, so we must not let the brothers go hungry." Do you want to fight with the big party on your belly? Let the soldiers be full ghosts even if they die."

"Governor, the reinforcements will come, but where are the reinforcements?!" Someone asked again.

"Governor, it doesn't matter if we die, we will serve the imperial court, but the brothers have to live on, and the brothers are not only responsible for their family. Now there are 10,000+ brothers, these are the only ones left, and we can't die anymore!"

"If there is a war with the Tartars, I will not surrender even if I fight to the last man, but in the final analysis, this is our own civil war."

"Compared to the imperial court and the Datong party, alas"

"Governor, surrender."

"Governor, we can't fight anymore!"

"Governor"

Yang Shengwu stared blankly at these generals, and finally couldn't help but angrily said: "If I want to surrender you, I, Yang Shengwu, have received great grace from the Holy Grace, how can I surrender Datong traitors?!"

Seeing that Yang Shengwu was about to commit suicide, a group of generals rushed forward to hold Yang Shengwu down, then tied up Yang Shengwu in a hurry, let Yang Shengwu roar here, and sent someone to fly a white flag to surrender.

On Songshan Fort, a tattered white flag was finally hoisted, and then someone came out and shouted: "We won't fight anymore, we surrendered!"

After receiving the news, Cao Wenzhao said with a smile: "Good news, the sixth town takes over the position and rescues the wounded. Since the fight is over, it is my brother, treat them well."

"The third town and the fifth town set off immediately to surround Sun Chuanting. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Songshan Fort surrendered here, and Sun Chuanting's pressure suddenly increased.

First, the fifth battalion of Xingshan Station was defeated. The defeated army said that they had found the flags of the third and fifth towns in the northeast of Datong.

The situation is changing so quickly, and any place will affect the whole body. With the surrender of the Ming army in Songshan Fort, the Ming army, which was still in an advantage under Daxing Fort, immediately fell into the siege of the Datong Party. The current predicament faced by the Ming army with little food left everyone in despair.

At this time, someone under his command proposed to surrender, but Sun Chuanting resolutely rejected it. He did not want to surrender.

Although Gao Qiqian wanted to surrender, he didn't dare to bring it up right now.

But that night, Sun Chuanting was directly tied up, and together with Gao Qiqian, he was tied up and sent out of the camp.

Sun Chuanting didn't want to surrender, but his Ming army didn't want to fight.

As the Datong Party said, they are all brothers of their own family, and it is not a foreign war, so why fight to the end?
Compared with today's Chongzhen Dynasty, it is obvious that everyone's life was better when Zhang Shoufu was in power.

Now that the Datong Party is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that it is competing with the imperial court. Since it is always necessary to follow individuals, why not follow someone who is willing to treat the big guys as human beings and treat the common people well?

In the camp of the Ming army, soldiers lined up to walk out of the camp. At this time, the outside of the camp was already occupied by Datong soldiers. There were steaming cauldrons with potato broth in them, and large steamers Wotou pancakes made of sweet potatoes, wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains are steamed inside, and the aroma is constantly permeating.

On the other side, various weapons and armor have been piled up into a hill.

"Brothers, don't worry, line up, leave your weapons over there, and then come here to get a meal. There is a big bowl of potato stew for each person, and corn bread pancakes are enough. Eat first, and then talk about other things after eating."

A man wearing a white cloth pocket shouted loudly, he is the squad leader of the cooking squad, and he wields a large spoon like a tiger, in front of him, the squad leader of the cooking squad, no matter what kind of soldier he is, he has to shrink his head and shout honestly. A squad leader.

These captives calmed down now, relaxed their tense nerves one by one, led pancakes and a large bowl of stew, sat aside and ate deliciously, and ate very deliciously.

Because this is not a meal for cutting off their heads, they can go up and work hard without eating. They survived, and there may be more hope in the days to come.

Sun Chuanting was tied up by Wuhuada and sent all the way to Songshan Fort. He saw Cao Wenzhao, Fang Yunchu, and Han Yaowei.

"General Cao, General Fang, and General Han." Sun Chuanting spoke with some difficulty.

Cao Wenzhao chuckled: "Old Sun, you used to be one of your own, and we don't need to talk to you about some things. To put it bluntly, the reason why we can keep you until now is because Shoufu still misses you."

Sun Chuanting froze for a moment, with a lonely expression on his face: "For a defeated general like me, what is the chief assistant still thinking about?"

"This is out of our control. Get ready to get in the car. The chief assistant wants to see you." Fang Yunchu said, and took out a military badge and threw it to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting took the military badge subconsciously, and found that it was his military badge in the new army. Everyone in the new army, whether general or soldier, had his own military badge, and he naturally had one too.

"Here, go see Shoufu."

After getting on the carriage to Shenyang, Sun Chuanting was very apprehensive. He was suddenly a little scared, and he didn't dare to see Zhang Haogu.

But what Sun Chuanting didn't know was that it wasn't just him, but Yang Shengwu was in another carriage and set foot on the road to Shenyang one step earlier than him.

In a small village twenty miles outside Shenyang City, the people here have moved to other farms. After being abandoned for a while, the place was re-used by the Datong Party as a prisoner camp.

In the captive camp, Yang Shengwu was sitting angrily at the door of the room. To this day, he cannot accept the fact that he has become a prisoner of the Datong Party, and the generals and soldiers in his army are all with him at this time. In a prison camp, there is no prisoner below the fourth grade, and Mr. Qian can't get in here.

With a bang, the gate of the prison camp was opened. Yang Shengwu raised his eyes and found that it was Sun Chuanting who had been sent in. Now Yang Shengwu couldn't sit still.

Yang Shengwu rushed up immediately and almost fought with Sun Chuanting. If it wasn't for several people holding him desperately, Yang Shengwu would have thrown himself on Sun Chuanting.

"Governor Yang, it's not impossible!"

"Governor, fighting is not allowed here, don't get angry!"

Sun Chuanting looked at Yang Shengwu who was about to pounce in astonishment: "Master Yang?"

Yang Shengwu said angrily: "Sun Boya! You were able to lead the army again, thanks to the help of the governor! But after you led the army, you ignored the situation of the governor, and the governor was forced to a desperate situation, and in the end he was betrayed by his subordinates." , as a prisoner, the governor will fight you!"

Sun Chuanting couldn't help but said: "Master Yang, why didn't the last general save you? The last general's [-] troops continued all the way until they reached Songshan Fort. After five days of bloody battles, nearly half of his brothers were killed and killed. The last general was also tied up by his generals. Surrender!"

Yang Shengwu was stunned: "Your subordinates also surrendered behind your back?"

For a moment, Yang Shengwu and Sun Chuanting felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
