Chapter 85 Wu Sangui saves his father

In the past, Huang Taiji would analyze various forms before considering whether to go south.Even if you go south, you must be fully prepared.

But right now it seems that there is no other choice.

"Then go south. Get ready. Let's stop here today."

After speaking, he got up and walked out of the hall.

Since returning from the expedition years ago, he found that some things had changed.Amin is a little alienated from him, Mang Gurtai is even more unscrupulous, only Daishan's attitude is unclear.

call.
He sighed softly, and returned to his sweat tent with a heavy heart.

Hope it goes well this time.

Two days later, Huang Taiji led the Zhenghuang Banner with 30 cattle records, Daishan led the Zhenghong Banner with 25 cattle records, Mang Gurtai led the Zhenglan Banner with 21 cattle records, and Amin led the Xianglan Banner with 33 cattle records.A total of [-] banner soldiers crossed the Hun River mightily.Target, Jinzhou City.

Jinzhou City

Zu Dashou is chatting with his brother Zu Dale.

"Has the rations arrived yet?"

"Here we are, just today. There are still twenty cannon."

"cannon?"

"Yes, it was just made by the imperial court. Brother, since the new emperor took the throne, the payment has never been in arrears, and twenty cannons have been sent right now. When did those gentlemen in the imperial court change their temper?"

Zu Dale went to his cousin Zu Dashou and whispered.

"What nonsense!?" Zu Dashou glared at him and scolded.After a while, Shi Shiran said again.

"There were rumors before that the new emperor was tyrannical and beheaded people on New Year's Day. Do you think these days, do the civil servants in the court still have some say in the military? Some say that your majesty is fatuous and ignores the government. If you ignore the government, we will Where did the military pay come from? The late emperor had not paid it for several years, but the new emperor paid it as soon as he came to the throne. A few years ago, His Majesty personally led more than 1 soldiers to fight against the Tatars outside Wanquan Pass, and returned with a great victory, with the Tatar flag The army suffered more than [-] casualties. What if the foolish king can have such courage and ability? Let's not think so much. We will take your majesty's food and salary and guard the city for your majesty. This is our duty!"

"Brother taught you a lesson. But is it true that the Yongwei Battalion commanded by His Majesty has killed more than ten thousand enemies?"

"Probably true. It is said that after the war, His Majesty ordered people to cut off the heads of the tartars, and built a Jingguan beside the road!"

Zu Dale opened his mouth wide.

so cruel?
While the two were talking, Zu Dabi, Zu Dashou's younger brother, barged in.

"Brother! It's not good! Huang Taiji is here!"

"What are you panicking about! Tell me in detail!"

Zu Dabi sat down on the chair, picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few sips, and then continued with a long breath.

"I'm organizing the people below to transport food, and the spies who were sent out came to report that Huang Taiji led [-] banner soldiers and came straight to our Jinzhou. It seems that he wants to beat us!" There was no trace of fear in the words Emotions.

He has well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He screams excitedly when he starts a war, and he is nicknamed the second lunatic.Even the soldiers under him were also infected with his faults, and when they charged into battle, their shouts were louder than the sound of horses' hooves.

"Where are you now?" Zu Dashou was used to Zu Dabi who had no rules at all, and then asked.

"About 100 miles away."

"Pass down the order to withdraw the soldiers and horses outside the city, and strictly prevent them from defending. In addition, send a message to the guards and fortresses to let them be on alert in advance. Then send fast horses to Beijing to report this matter to His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

Zu Dabi and Zu Dale took orders and left.

"The food and salary just issued by the imperial court can last at least two months. Can you, Huang Taiji, defeat my Jinzhou City?" Zu Dashou stood under the eaves, looking at the sky in the distance, as if staring at his opponent Huang Taiji in the distance.

It's not the first time they've played against each other.

In the sixth year of Tianqi, Nurhachi attacked Ningyuan, and he participated in the defense of Ningyuan.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi's son Huang Taiji attacked Ningyuan, and he still participated.

It has been two years now, and the city has sufficient food and wages, but he still has the information to pin Huang Taiji outside the city.

three days later

Huangtaiji soldiers approached the city.

"As soon as the Tartars approach, fire!"

Zu Dashou stood on the city wall and looked at the Eight Banners army in the distance, and gave orders to the messengers under him.

At this time, a group of cavalry appeared in the southwest outside the city, about a hundred of them.

"Whose subordinate is that? Didn't they have been ordered to return to the city long ago?" Zu Dashou looked at it and said angrily.

"It's Wu Xiang! It should be that he didn't receive an order to go out to patrol the city a few days ago. What should I do with the general? Go out of the city to meet him?" Zu Dale said anxiously.

The reason why he said he wanted to rescue was because Huang Taiji also found this small group of cavalry. Worried about fraud, he only sent a cavalry to intercept it.

Zu Dashou was also very anxious, because Wu Xiang was his brother-in-law, and he had a reason to save him.But right now there are not many troops in the city, and the most important task is to defend Jinzhou.If he rashly sent troops out of the city to rescue him, he was worried that the Tatars would take the opportunity to launch an attack.

"No help!" Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and said.

"But."

"No but! This is a military order."

Zu Dale closed his mouth, but Wu Xiang outside the city was already surrounded by enemy cavalry.

"General! I'm going out of the city to save my father!"

At this time, a voice came from behind Zu Dashou.Zu Dashou knew without turning his head that the owner of the voice was his nephew Wu Sangui.

"No!"

"Uncle, I can't stand here and watch my father die!" Wu Sangui's eyes were firm, he had to leave the city no matter what.He knew that his uncle, as the guard, had a reason not to save him.But again, as a son, I have reasons to save.

"There are not enough troops in the city."

"I don't want soldiers, I only bring servants! If you can save them, you can save them. If you can't, I will accompany my father to die!"

Zu Dashou looked at Wu Sangui with red eyes for a long time, and sighed.

"Go."

He knew his nephew very well.

"Yes! General!"

Wu Sangui showed joy, turned around and walked down the city wall, counted the [-] servants who had already been waiting for a long time, opened the city gate and roared away.

At this moment, Wu Xiang was fighting hard, and led his soldiers to rush left and right, trying to get out, but the opponent had a lot of people, so they didn't break out of the encirclement several times.

"I probably want to confess here." Wu Xiang thought to himself.He also knew that it was impossible to send troops to support him in the city under such circumstances.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a small group of cavalry running towards him from the direction of the city gate.Take a closer look, about twenty rides.As the other party slowly approached, he recognized the person coming.

Wu Sangui!
own son.

Huang Taiji in the distance was frowning and watching the movement here, he was a little strange.As soon as I arrived, I met a small group of Ming army cavalry, and as soon as I was surrounded, I came out of the city with another [-] cavalry.What kind of play is this?
But what happened next shocked him.

I saw that the twenty cavalry slammed into the encirclement of the Eight Banners cavalry, and tore a hole in the encirclement at the moment of contact.After a while of charging, he rushed out with a hundred cavalry in the encirclement!

"Who is this person?" Huang Taiji asked the people around him.

Everyone shook their heads, but no one recognized them.

At this time, Wu Sangui broke into the enemy's position with the force of his attack, and soon joined Wu Xiang.

"Father, I'm here to save you!" Wu Sangui yelled after beating down a tartar.

"Get out!" Wu Xiang's eyes turned sore, this is his own son!
The father and son led more than 100 cavalry, retreating while fighting, and finally broke through the encirclement, and entered the city under the cover of the Ming army on the city wall.

"If my family gets this person, why worry about the world?"

Huang Taiji looked at the city gate that was closed again after Wu Sangui and others entered the city, and slowly said a word.

Half an hour later, the Eight Banners Army launched an attack.

In the lead is the shield chariot, which is made of thick wood covered with cowhide and iron, and has a strong defense.With this kind of car, muskets, bows and arrows are basically useless.Behind the shield cart are archers, and after that is a small cart, which is filled with sand to fill up the ravine.

Behind the carts came heavily armored infantry, with cavalry last.

The battle formation moved forward slowly until it entered the range of the cannon.

Bang!
With the roar of the cannon, the thread egg smashed into Jiannu's battle formation.
