Blood from Daming

Chapter 697 Attacking the Stronghold
The arrogance and ignorance of Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui Town, and Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief, brought the negotiation between Gaojiajunzhai and Yansui Town to a dead end. The village has the back of Datong Town, and Yansui Town is also one of the nine towns of Daming, and the people of Yansui Town can still speak in Shaanxi.

Just when Gao Guiying was at a loss, Gao Yigong and Ma Ming led the army back from Ansai to Gaojiajunzhai. Ma Ming learned that the casualties were not only the Datong Town Guards Army, but also Xue Jiajun who belonged to the special economic zone. Ma Ming was so angry that the three corpses jumped and smoked, and he wished to immediately send troops to kill the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town in Jiazhou.

That night, several Xue family soldiers found Ma Ming privately and showed their tokens to identify them. They were General Xue Yun's personal guards. This time, Tesna, the general's woman, was ordered to deliver cattle, sheep and horses to Gao's army village. He was killed, and he himself was sick in the Gaojiajunzhai. The boss and humiliating minister worried about Ma Mingqian, so you can figure it out.

Only now did Ma Ming know that Tesna, who was said to look better than Pan Anzi, turned out to be a woman, and a general's woman. Ma Ming had seen Tesna before. Tesna was lying on the hospital bed. He didn't see Tesna's beauty at all. It seems that this disease has hurt Tesna a lot. Ma Ming's eyes turned red thinking of this.

The next day, Ma Ming found Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong, and proposed to kill the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town outside Jiazhou City. Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong didn't want to make matters worse, but the dead were all related to Xue Jiajun. Now that Ma Ming proposed to take revenge, Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong couldn't refuse both emotionally and rationally. Gao Yigong got close to Ma Ming, so he gritted his teeth and agreed in order to avenge his future brother-in-law's subordinates.

But Gao Guiying thought more about it, and told Ma Ming that he should ask Datong for instructions first. Ma Ming said no to Gao Guiying for the first time, saying that even if he led his troops, he would take revenge because of the oath made by the general : "Those who offend Xue's army will die."

Gao Guiying still felt that this was a big matter, and Xue Yun needed an affirmative answer. Ma Ming really couldn't convince Gao Guiying, and finally left a sentence for Gao Guiying, Tessna is a woman; the content of this sentence is too rich , Gao Guiying's first reaction was not to be jealous, but to be extremely ashamed.

Gao Guiying is a person who has experienced it, and knows the taste of love between men and women. Since the death of a man, Gao Guiying has spent many nights alone and sleepless. After falling in love with General Xue Yun, Gao Guiying has no other men in her eyes.

I don’t know why she is particularly tempted by Tessna. It’s probably because young women also love handsome boys. When Tessna left, Gao Guiying was just a little disappointed. Later, she went back again and was seriously ill. A heart ached so badly that she went to Tesna's room every day to bring tea and water. Looking at Tesna who was sick and suffering, the more she loved and pitied her, the whole person's emotions fell into it. Gao Guiying fell into a spirit that she didn't know in love.

Now that Ma Ming revealed Tesna's true identity, Gao Guiying suddenly realized that there is no such beautiful and charming young man in this world. I just buried it in my heart. If it spreads, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to live anymore.

When Gao Guiying transferred to think about it, she regarded Tesna as Xue Yun's woman, pessimistically, Gao Guiying did not have the slightest jealousy towards Tesna, but strengthened Gao Guiying's determination to avenge Tesna, so she decided to send troops on the spot Zhou Zhou avenged Tesna and Xue Jiajun, but Gao Yigong seemed a little unhappy when he found out that Tesna was a woman.

Gao Guiying led Gao Yigong and Ma Ming to defeat the officers and soldiers of Yansui Township, and killed the vicious and vicious general. Gao Guiying knew that he was at odds with Yansui Township and even the entire Shaanxi government, so he sent someone to the General Manager Xiangyang of Datong Mansion Asking for help, while strengthening defenses in the Gaojiajunzhai, while serving his good sister Tessna attentively.

Tesna received Gao Guiying's meticulous care, and her condition recovered very quickly. Gao Guiying cleaned up her enemies for her, and most of Tesna's heart knots were relieved. Naturally, the disease recovered quickly, but Tesna did not treat Gao Guiying at all. The woman who didn't mind that she might be Xue Yun was very moved, and she talked more and more with Gao Guiying, and finally the two became close friends who never met each other.

There are 3000 Gaojia soldiers in the Gaojia army village, and 5000 people belonging to the village civilian army. Among them, 2000 men and teenagers are armed as auxiliary militiamen, and Gao Yigong and Ma Ming each have 300 elite cavalry, plus 7000 remnants brought by Tessna. There are more than [-] soldiers capable of fighting in Gaojiajunzhai, and the remaining [-] old and weak women and children can also cook and take care of the wounded.

Moreover, Gaojiajunzhai is high in the west and low in the east, and the cliffs in the west are unattainable. This is the main reason why Gaojiajunzhai has little contact with Mizhi. The terrain of the north and south gates is not easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is also the area that Gao Jiajun focuses on guarding against.

On the seventh day of September, the Ming army from Yansui Township began to attack Gaojiajunzhai. Sure enough, they chose to attack from the east. Three large ditches were dug on the east slope of Gaojiajunzhai very early on, each with a distance of [-] steps. , There are shallow ditches and deep moats everywhere in the middle, the ditches are full of bamboo sticks and wooden thorns, and the trails that can be walked are blocked by wooden piles and need to be detoured. It is impossible for the attacking Ming army to form a decent offensive.

Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, greeted all the women from Yan Zibin's family, the magistrate of Mizhi County. In fact, it was only Wang Wei who wronged Yan Zibin. Gao Guiying was the one who announced that the governor of Shaanxi had surrendered and accepted the rebellion. Bin can say anything, but he only hopes that there will be no accidents in Gaojiajunzhai and everything will be fine.

In fact, it's not that Wang Wei doesn't know the origin of Gao's army village. It's his own fault. This time it's his turn to wipe it out. The vanguard Ai Wannian took the lead in attacking. The army followed up on the left and right.

It's a pity that there is a decent path in the east. The officers and soldiers of Ai Wannian, Wang Shihu, and Yao Jinzhong just arrived at the first deep ditch on the hillside of Gaojiajunzhai. Scattered by the criss-crossing ditches, barely reaching the second deep ditch, Gao's army village fired earthen cannons.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The Gao family army bombarded the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town for a while, but the artillery did not cause any damage to the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town, but stabbed and injured five or sixty people who were so frightened that they fell into the ditch. Wang Wei knew that he was impatient when he saw it. Tofu had no choice but to withdraw the troops of Ai Wannian, Wang Shihu, and Yao Jinzhong, and let the officers and soldiers behind carry the soil uphill to fill the ditch.

The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town filled for more than an hour, filling in several passages from the first deep ditch to the second deep ditch, but when filling the second deep ditch to the third deep ditch, they suddenly encountered When the Gaojia Army artillery attacked, the officers and soldiers in Yansui Town suffered heavy casualties for a while. In addition to the officers and soldiers who fell into the pit, more than 300 people lost their lives.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief Wang’s prestige was miserable. The first round of earth artillery shot down five or sixty of his subordinates, and the more than 60 wounded soldiers who were carried down the hillside cried and howled like ghosts and wolves, which shook the morale of the officers and soldiers. Only these earth cannons, Wang Wei didn't know that he had been tricked by the enemy's arrogant soldiers until the second round of Frang machine artillery was fired, and the loss was so great that Wang Wei couldn't bear it.

It was not until noon that half of the casualties were lifted down. Those who died in the ditch and those who were inconvenient to rescue were left on the hillside for the time being. Of the more than 100 soldiers carried down, half were dead and half were alive. The soldiers were bloody and miserable, and the screams and wailing of the living were creepy, echoing the wounded soldiers on the hillside who were crying for help, and the morale of the officers and soldiers in Yansui Town was hit to a low point.

After Wang Wei had lunch in the army, under the cover of Ai Wannian, Wang Shihu, and Yao Jinzhong, Wang Wei led the rear army to fill in the passage between the second deep ditch and the third deep ditch. In just a short distance of a hundred steps, the soldiers of the Gao Family Army Village and the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town fought fiercely.

Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. Yansui Town officials and soldiers made rapid progress in filling the second deep ditch to the third deep ditch. Ascending, when filling up several passages from the second deep ditch to the third deep ditch, the Yansui town government army paid three to four hundred casualties.

Then Wang Wei ordered his soldiers to go all out and continue to fill up the criss-cross trenches behind the third deep trench. Explosive packs and grenade bombardment were thrown up and down. Wang Shihu and Yao Jinzhong were the first to retreat. Ai Wannian was unable to support himself and finally led his men down the hillside.

The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town paid the casualties of thousands of soldiers, but this price was exchanged for the filling of the three deep trenches in the Gaojiajun village, which paved the way for the next attack tomorrow. Soon it was dark, and the Gaojiajun The soldiers of the village took advantage of the night to go out to clean up the floating soil in the ditch. The Yansui town government army launched a sneak attack with bows and arrows, severely injuring nearly a hundred soldiers of the Gaojia army village, and the Gaojia army village gave up repairing the trench.

It seems that the Gaojiajunzhai took advantage of this offensive and defensive battle. In fact, Gao Guiying sent more than 5000 soldiers to the east at the most dangerous time in the afternoon. There were many killings and injuries, and the morale of the soldiers and villagers in the village was greatly lost.

On the night of the start of the war, Wang Wei asked the general Chen Hongfan to ambush in the southeast of Gaojiajunzhai in advance. At dawn the next day, Wang Wei personally led the main attack of the Chinese army, and Ai Wannian was transferred to the northeast flank of Gaojiajunzhai to attack. Wang Shihu and Yao Jinzhong followed up , Almost all the troops in Yansui Town were invested. The artillery and arrows of Gaojiajunzhai fell like rain. As soon as they show their heads, they will be shot and killed by the bows and arrows of the Yansui Town officers in five or six out of ten. After the soldiers in Gaojiajunzhai suffered a lot of casualties, they didn't dare to show their faces.
