Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 213 Humans and ghosts are all on show, only Hou Jin is being beaten!

After another two days of hard walking on the mountain road, the army came to a valley about five or six miles away from Phoenix City.

"Shanbaihu, how is the situation in Phoenix City?"

When they came to the top of the mountain, Luo Yi looked at the Phoenix City in the distance. They were running out of dry food. According to the plan, they had to capture Phoenix City within four days, and then go to Zhenjiang Fort along the official road to join the navy and attack Zhenjiang together. fort.

"According to the reports from the spies from the Black Ice Terrace, the Jurchens in Phoenix City have two Niulu, and there are also three Han Niulu."

Shan Mao cupped his hands and said.

"Is there a Jurchen Jiala Erzhen?"

Hearing Shan Mao's words, Luo Yi heaved a sigh of relief. The two Jurchen Niulu had no more than 600 people. As for the Han people, they could be completely ignored. Before Nurhaci massacred all the Liaodong Han people as Jurchen slaves, he attacked the city If so, those Han people should not follow the Jurchens to resist.

The only thing to worry about is that there are Jurchen masters stationed in Phoenix City. There is no Confucian way of cultivating the primordial spirit on the Jurchen side. Therefore, compared with Daming, the Jurchens pay more attention to strength, and the strong are respected. Speaking of strength, most of Niulu'erzhen have second-rate realm, Jiala'erzhen generally has first-class strength, and those Gushan'erzhen are the top powerhouses among the Jurchens, and the entire Eight Banners are only a dozen Gushan'erzhen real.

Therefore, Jialaerzhen is already a high-ranking general among the Jurchens, and each Jialaerzhen has its own army. If Jialaerzhen is stationed in Phoenix City, the next siege will definitely suffer more losses. It is also more difficult to capture Phoenix.

"I don't know."

Shan Mao shook his head: "Our spies are all Han Chinese, and we don't dare to get too close to Phoenix City. We can only get information from Han Chinese who fled into the mountains, or observe close to the city wall at night."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Luo Yi frowned, but he didn't blame Shan Mao. After all, a Han man suddenly appeared in Phoenix City, which is definitely a very eye-catching thing, and it will only scare the snake away.

"Old Pan, send the order down, rest for an hour, and then attack."

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Yi said, although he doesn't know what the situation in Phoenix City is, he can only fight here now. Besides, Phoenix City is not an important hurdle, so Jurchens won't stay here too much. What a master.

"Ah."

Pan Ping nodded in response, and then went down to make arrangements.

...

After resting, the soldiers put on their armor and marched towards Phoenix City again. With the cover of the mountains, the army was not discovered by the Jurchens in Phoenix City until it was only three miles away from Phoenix City.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull sound of the drum spread throughout the entire Phoenix City. Listening to the dull sound of the drum, the Liaodong Han people who were farming outside the city were full of confusion. Hurry up, after all, if you go back late, you will be hit by the horsewhip at least, and your life will be at stake.

It's just that when they came to the city gate, the city gate was already closed tightly, and the Daqi army in the distance was slowly approaching. Seeing this scene, the Liao people outside the city gate fled one after another.

Not long after, the Qi army formed a formation and slowly approached Phoenix City, and then stopped at a position hundreds of meters away from the city wall.

At the Central Army, Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the three-foot-tall city wall and the hundreds of Jurchens on the city wall who were stretching their bows and arrows.

"Liu Jian, Tian Cheng, and He Wenxiong, the three of you each lead 8000 people to the other three walls to disperse the forces of the Jurchens."

After thinking for a while, Luo Yi said, although they have an absolute advantage in strength, if they can reduce losses, they must naturally reduce losses.

"The last general takes orders."

He Wenxiong and the three of them clasped their hands in response to Luo Yi's words.

"Shan Baihu, you take my two hundred soldiers to block the official road from Phoenix City to Zhenjiang Fort, and don't let the news from here spread to Zhenjiang Fort."

After thinking for a while, Luo Yi continued.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Hearing this, Shan Mao nodded.

Soon, the three armies made a big circle and headed towards the other city gates. The Jurchens on the city wall also divided their troops to defend the city walls in other directions. After a while, there were only nearly two hundred Jurchens on the west wall.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yi nodded in satisfaction, raised the command flag in his hand, and soon, the war drums thundered, and with the sound of the war drums, thousands of Qi soldiers raised their shields and approached the city wall.

Hundred feet!

Fifty feet!
Thirty feet!
The Jurchens on the city wall opened their bows and shot arrows. The sparse arrows could not form a dense arrow rain at all, and they did not have much lethality.

As time went by, a large number of Qi troops held their shields and came to the city wall. The strong soldiers threw out the claws in their hands. Soon, dozens of claws were tightly hooked on the green bricks on the city wall. A thick twine.

Thousands of Qi troops below bent their bows and shot arrows, suppressing the Jurchen defenders on the city wall. The dense arrow rain made the Jurchen defenders on the city wall completely afraid to show their heads.

"Cut the rope!"

Niu Lu Ezhen, the leader, shouted loudly.

A Jurchen soldier raised his knife and rushed towards the hemp rope, but the next moment, dozens of arrows shot him into a hedgehog.

At this time, one by one of the Qi sergeants bit their knives in their mouths and began to climb up along the hemp rope.

At this time, stones were thrown from the city wall, and soldiers of the Qi army were thrown to the ground one after another by the stones.

But at the same time, the Jurchen soldiers who threw stones were also shot to death by the archers under the city wall. In just a moment, forty or fifty Jurchen soldiers fell under the bows and arrows.

Soon, soldiers of the Qi army boarded the city wall one after another, and the head-on fighting began. There were only more than 100 Jurchen defenders who had no room to resist against the continuous stream of soldiers of the Qi army. The Jurchen defenders were wiped out, and the battles on the other three walls were also one-sided.

Although defending the city has an advantage, facing the Qi army with a hundred times the strength, the Jurchen defenders are useless even if they have a greater advantage.

.........

In the lobby of the Phoenix City Guard.

"Captain, all the Jurchens in the city have been wiped out."

Pan Ping clasped his hands and said, "There are more than 500 old and weak Han people in the city. The other young and strong are farming outside the city and have not returned yet."

"Have someone go outside the city to recruit those young men back, and let them continue farming."

Luo Yi waved his hands and said, "How big is our loss?"

Pan Ping clasped his hands and said, "330 people were killed in battle, more than 260 people were seriously injured, and more than [-] people were slightly injured."

"Let people treat the soldiers as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Luo Yi was not surprised. Although they had an advantage in military strength, they lacked siege equipment. It is already very good to be able to maintain a battle loss ratio of one to one.

"Liu Jian, you will lead [-] troops to garrison Phoenix City next."

After a pause, Luo Yi continued: "Old Pan, pass on an order to make some repairs, and leave the camp tomorrow to go to Zhenjiang Fort."

"The last general takes orders!"

Pan Ping and Liu Jian clapped their hands in agreement.

"Shanbaihu, you immediately send someone to Huanggudao Fort to inform the navy to bring weapons and provisions to join us, and also ask the navy to restrain the Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort."

Luo Yi turned his head and looked at Shanmao, a hundred households in the Black Ice Terrace. They set off from Xiuyan City this time, and they were completely light-packed. They didn't have any supplies, let alone artillery.

There are 5000 Jurchens at Zhenjiang Fort, and most of them are cavalry. Although there are 5 people on his side, he doesn't have any weapons to defend against the cavalry. If the opponent's cavalry charges, it is very likely It will be defeated once, so the navy must contain the Jurchens on the side of Zhenjiang Fort.

"Your Majesty understands."

Hearing Luo Yi's words, Shan Mao nodded.

.........

the other side.

After receiving Luo Yi's news, the naval fleet stationed near Huanggudao Fort unanchored to Zhenjiang Fort, and then landed near Zhangzi Island.

Naturally, such a big movement by Qi Jun could not be concealed from others, and it didn't take long for the news of Qi Jun to be on Gu Santai's desk.

"Piangu, what do you think should be done?"

Gu Santai looked aside, he was Gu Shan Ezhen from Xianglan Banner, he and Pian Gu were Amin's diehard loyalists.

"Fight with those Han people, avenge Baylor!"

Piangu said angrily, before Amin intended to seize North Korea and make himself king, so he placed both of them here. Unexpectedly, Amin was framed by Huang Taiji and died in Daming Pass.

Although Huang Taiji is the chief culprit, Da Qi is also the chief culprit. Now those Han people in Da Qi dare to come here, just to avenge A Min.

"Do not impulse!"

Seeing Piangu's reckless appearance, Gu Santai frowned and said, "They are Amin's diehard loyalists. Now Jierhalang is in charge of the Xianglan Banner. Jierhalang has always wanted to deprive them of the military power in their hands, but he is afraid The strength of the two of them, coupled with the battle inside the pass, greatly weakened the strength of Xianglanqi, and Jierhalang didn't dare to move them easily. If the loss was heavy here, I'm afraid Jierhalang would no longer care about them.

"Gu Santai, are you afraid of those Han people in Daqi?"

Hearing Gu Santai's words, Pian Gu said disdainfully: "If you are afraid, you can stay here to defend the city, and I will lead my own troops to deal with them."

Although Gu Santai is Gu Shanezhen, his strength is not weaker than Gu Santai, and he is not afraid of Gu Santai.

"Piangu!"

Gu Santai said coldly: "If you want to die by yourself, you can go by yourself, don't drag the sons of the clan!"

"Gu Santai, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Pian Gu was instantly dissatisfied and said: "Do you think our sons can't defeat those Qi troops?"

"Piangu, there are only more than 4000 people in the city, and there are more than [-] Qi troops who landed. How many people do you want to bring to deal with them?"

Gu Santai suppressed his anger and persuaded himself not to be angry with the fool in front of him, because the fool in front of him has no brains.

"Give me three thousand soldiers and horses, and I will surely defeat these Qi troops."

Pian Gu said crazily, he didn't pay attention to Daqi's more than 1 sailors at all.

"Give you three thousand?"

Hearing this, Gu Santai sneered and said, "Then how many people do you plan to bring back? Besides, that barbarian Mao Wenlong is still eyeing Phi Island. When that barbarian gets in his way, can you beat so many people?"

"I……"

Hearing Gu Santai's words, Piangu was a little bit embarrassing. To be honest, he was not afraid of those Qi troops, but if he added Mao Wenlong's side, he would not be sure. Mao Wenlong's side had 3. If half of them are dispatched, plus the Qi army, there will be [-] people, one against ten, he doesn't have the ability.

"Then what do you say?"

After being silent for a while, Pian Gu also softened, and he couldn't do it if he refused. He really couldn't beat so many people.

Gu Santai said: "Defend Zhenjiang Fort first, and then send people to Shenyang City for help."

"Will Huang Taiji send someone?"

Piangu curled his lips, since Amin died, Huang Taiji wanted to kill them, including Jierhalang, the banner owner, who didn't want to keep them.

"They'll send someone."

Gu Santai said in a deep voice: "Now all the offerings from North Korea have to pass through here, and Huang Taiji and the others will not give up here."

In order to force North Korea to surrender, Huang Taiji mobilized a full [-] bannermen to besiege Yizhou, and finally forced the North Koreans to surrender and make confession. If Zhenjiang Fort was lost, North Korea would naturally not make confession again.

"Then keep it."

Pian Gu curled his lips, Gu Santai is Gu Shanerzhen, if Gu Santai disagrees with him mobilizing troops, he will do nothing.

...

Because they were not blocked, Daqi's more than ten thousand navy troops arrived outside Zhenjiang Fort and set up camp.

.........

On the other side, Luo Yi also brought an army of [-] to Tangshan Fort, fifty miles away from Zhenjiang Fort.

"Dudu Luo, our spies have captured a Jurchen messenger."

Shan Mao rode to Luo Yi's side.

"What did you ask?"

Luo Yi hurriedly said that what he is most worried about now is that the whereabouts of his people will be revealed. Without all kinds of equipment to defend against the cavalry, if the infantry meets the cavalry, it will be a massacre.

"The Jurchens of Zhenjiang Fort chose to defend the city, and the messenger was sent to Shenyang City for help."

Shan Mao took out a letter and handed it to Luo Yi.

After receiving the letter, Luo Yi easily opened it, and after a glance, he stuffed the letter back again, because the letter was written in Jurchen's crooked characters, and no one could understand it at all.

"How's the situation with the Navy?"

After a pause, Luo Yi continued to ask.

"The spies haven't returned yet."

Shan Mao shook his head and said, "The last time I came to report the time, the navy was only ten miles away from Zhenjiang Fort. I don't know if there was a war with the Jurchens?"

Because they didn't want to alarm the Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort, the spies all took the mountain road, and their speed was not that fast.

"Send more people."

After thinking for a while, Luo Yi said.

.........

Shenyang City.

The sky was slightly bright, and a fast horse broke the tranquility of the city.

Dazheng Hall, Daishan, Huangtaiji, Jierhalang, Azig, Dorgon, Duoduo...

All the high-level post-gold leaders in the entire Shenyang city were present, and everyone's faces were equally gloomy, and there was a trace of panic in the gloomy.

Lin Danhan brought people back to Monan!

Yuan Chonghuan is leading troops to attack Haizhou Acropolis, and now Lin Danhan has led people to fight back, which means that they will lose control of the grassland.
