Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 427 Jinzhou City Battle
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Jinzhou Thousand Households Office.

Two days ago, a gunshot broke the rare peace and tranquility of the originally peaceful Jinzhou Thousand Households.

The people of Jinzhou also recalled the tragic scene when they faced Jiannu.

However, this time, it was no longer a foreign race that hurt them, but the former Jinzhou General Soldier Zu Dashou!
The second day of May in the second year of Chongzhen.

Zu Dashou, who was originally transferred from Jinzhou, reappeared outside Jinzhou City and tried to sneak into Jinzhou City, but what he didn't expect was that Jinzhou's defense today is completely different from when he was there. was stopped.

The person he had arranged before he transferred also betrayed him, and instead he was the first to identify him.

In desperation, Zu Dashou tried to force his way into Jinzhou City. Although some people had already betrayed him, he had taken root in Jinzhou for many years and trained a solid team. Quickly regain control of Jinzhou City.

However, God failed to fulfill people's wishes. Today's Jinzhou City is no longer the Jinzhou City that Zu Dashou knew at the beginning. The troops stationed in Jinzhou today are a new army based on the veterans of the Yongwei Battalion who conquered and built slaves.

He found out his plot was wrong at the first time, and launched resistance at the first time when he forced his way in.

Then the battle began!

After Zu Dashou was forced to retreat, the entire city of Jinzhou immediately entered a state of war under the command of the new brigade commander.

And the facts also proved that his choice was correct. Zu Dashou, who was forced to retreat, quickly surrounded Jinzhou City with tens of thousands of people. After a closer look, the leaders among the tens of thousands of people were actually those former Liaodong generals. .

Such as Wu Sangui, etc., are all impressively listed.

It turned out that Zu Dashou had already prepared to storm Jinzhou City, but he wanted to see if he could sneak into Jinzhou City, and then take Jinzhou City by relying on the inside and outside and at the least cost.

Now that it has been discovered, fortunately, he is no longer covering up, and directly led the troops to attack the city.

Jinzhou's battle this time can be said to have been caught off guard, but the new Jinzhou garrison chief, He Ziyi, is a new-generation officer from the Imperial Martial Arts Hall. Under his command, the entire Jinzhou city was guarded tightly. People besieged the city for two days but didn't take advantage of it at all. On the contrary, they also consumed a lot of supplies.

Outside Jinzhou City, the rebel camp.

"Uncle! We can't go on like this! We are short of supplies in such a hasty mobilization, and now we have not taken advantage of the two-day siege of the city. If this continues, we will fall apart without the Jinzhou city guard taking the initiative to attack. We must do it as soon as possible." Find a way to conquer Jinzhou and get supplies!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Sangui got up with a serious face and said to Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou sighed sadly, "How could I not know what the elder uncle said? Originally, this old man thought that He Ziyi from Jinzhou was just a baby who had read a few books on military affairs. What kind of abilities could he have?
But I didn't expect that this tender baby who was born in the Imperial Martial Arts Hall really has two brushes. Today's Jinzhou City is defended by him, and it is more stable than when the old man was there. This made us waste two days. . "

"Then we have no choice but to take Jinzhou City? Uncle, Master Hou said that we should take at least one big city before June. Now the former generals of Liaodong are attacking the city to which they belonged. When the time is up, everyone has won the city that they should take, but we can't even enter Jinzhou City, so how can we face those generals in Liaodong in the future?
The ancestral family will also become a joke for the Liaodong generals, let alone ask the Hou Ye for the title of Shizhen Jinzhou after the matter is completed. "

Wu Sangui listed the difficulties they are facing now, and Zu Dashou frowned.

After a while, Zu Dashou stood up suddenly, a few struggles flashed in his eyes, and then he turned into firmness, and said: "Don't worry, Elder Uncle, I still have a plan, then He Xiaoer certainly defended Jinzhou City impeccably, but I didn't take it He is completely helpless. After all, my ancestral family has guarded Jinzhou for many years, and they have planted countless secrets. Tomorrow night, let them raid the city gate from the inside. You should be prepared first. When the gate is opened, our army must immediately Enter, remember that there is only one chance, if you miss it, you really have no chance.”

Hearing Zu Dashou say that the internal forces in the city still have the strength to win the door, Wu Sangui's face suddenly showed joy.

"Uncle, is it true?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Then tomorrow, I will launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou City. Try to consume their energy during the day, so that it will be much easier for the internal forces in the city to seize the gate at night."

"That's okay, let's use the ten flying thunder cannons sent by Lord Hou. It is said that these flying thunder cannons directly smashed down the city walls of Shengjing and Hetuala when they attacked Jiannu City. Well, if Master Hou hadn't shot this time, we wouldn't have been able to get these ten cannons."

"What uncle said is true, so let's do it."

The night passed, and the morning of the third day.Jinzhou City, which had been silent all night, once again ignited gunpowder smoke.

The rebels outside the city desperately began to attack the city, and the defenders inside the city also tried their best to defend the city.

The defenders of Jinzhou can clearly feel that compared to the previous two days, today's rebel offensive is extremely fierce, with round after round of siege, they are not given any time to breathe, and the casualties on both sides are also rapid. In just one morning, the number of casualties on both sides was equivalent to half of the previous two days.

noon.

The battle inside and outside the city was tacitly suspended, and everyone buried their pots and made their own food.

Jinzhou garrison chief He Ziyi took a group of officers to go up to the top of the city to inspect the city defense.

While patrolling the city defense, the military officials below also began to report today's casualties.

"Brigade Commander, today's casualties have almost doubled compared to the previous two days. In just one morning, more than 800 brothers died in battle, the number of minor injuries increased by [-], and the number of serious injuries also increased by [-]."

Listening to the document's report, He Ziyi frowned tightly, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can the enemy's casualties be estimated?"

The document immediately replied: "Yes, we are defending the city, and we still have a great advantage. The preliminary judgment of the enemy's casualties should be around 3000, three times that of our side!"

After hearing this, He Ziyi's eyes flickered, and he murmured as he walked: "3000 people, this is already half of the previous two days. The rebel army has lost nearly ten thousand people in these three days. It will not exceed [-], which is equivalent to [-]% of the population, but instead of slowing down their offensive, they are still strengthening their offensive today. Why is this?
What purpose do they have?

What motivates them to do so?
Unless...unless they are sure that they can take Jinzhou City, otherwise such a heavy casualty situation, except for the original Yongwei Battalion, will inevitably lower the morale of any other unit, and the morale will not be as high as it is today! "

He Ziyi's mind turned quickly, thinking about where there are loopholes in Jinzhou today, so that the rebels outside the city thought they had a chance to break through Jinzhou City, but they couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

Today's Jinzhou City Defense can confidently say that it has reached its best, and almost every aspect has been considered, and it is unlikely that there will be major omissions.

Just as He Ziyi was thinking, one of his subordinates suddenly came to report that someone from the Jinyiwei of Jinzhou City had come, saying that there was an important military report!
He Ziyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, it seems that something really happened that he didn't expect!
Dang even asked his subordinates to bring the Jin Yiwei in front of him with a solemn expression.
