Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 334 The Battle of Jinzhou
The new Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty, the Youdu Yushi of the Overwatch Council, the General Zhengnan, the big traitor Hong Chengchou in a yellow jacket and holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand, led his civil and military officials to the top of the city to watch the enemy's situation.

In an instant, he understood.It turned out that all this was a trap set by Ji Dong for him. In order to trap him, Lin Yi took great pains. The Ming army experienced the defeat of Dalinghe and the defeat of Xiaolinghe, and retreated more than 200 miles in one breath.

Until Hong Chengchou moved to the city, the Ming army came back after rushing for more than 200 miles overnight, and surrounded Jinzhou City again.

The line was really long enough until the big fish Hong Chengchou took the hook firmly and ate the bait.

The hole Ji Dong dug for him was really deep and concealed enough. Hong Chengchou didn't know the true intention of the Ming army until he jumped into it.

Trapped in the city?Hong Chengchou looked at it with a feeling of deja vu. How similar is the situation in front of him to the battle of Ning Jin two years ago?

The battle of Ning Jin back then can be said to be a shame for Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou.Defeated and captured, he originally planned to serve the country with death, but in the end he couldn't resist the coercion and temptation. It is better to live than to die, not to mention that he really couldn't resist the hot tenderness of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and then he bowed his knees and surrendered to the Tartars.

However, what made him feel ironic was that his old master, Emperor Chongzhen, did not believe that he could surrender to the Tartars as a traitor at all. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, anyone could betray Ming Dynasty, but Hong Aiqing was the only one who could not.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen believed that he was defeated and captured, and he must have died a heroic martyr. In order to express his deep condolences to this loyal hero, Emperor Chongzhen held a grand ceremony and personally participated in Hong Chengchou's memorial ceremony.

However, when Emperor Chongzhen expressed his condolences at the memorial service, his Hong Qing family was accepting the flirting of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in the imperial palace of the Qing capital!

This incident was later spread from Ming Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. It was not just a joke. Hong Chengchou secretly felt a little feverish with his old face.

Now that things are changing and people are changing, Hong Chengchou really has a special feeling in his heart when he revisits the old place. He stands on the top of the city and looks at the overwhelming Ming army.

The civil and military officials beside him, including the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Bei Le Beizi, looked at Hong Chengchou in a daze, thinking that he was thinking of a strategy to defeat the enemy. Of course, no one knew the ups and downs in his heart.

In the end Hong Chengchou was relieved, anyway, Emperor Chongzhen was dead.His thoughts returned to his eyes, with a look of contempt on his mouth.

If you want to trap me, Hong Chengchou, you deserve the surname Lin!

Hong Chengchou immediately ordered to attack from all directions. There were 7 Qing troops in the city, all of whom were elite troops. There were countless generals around him who were accustomed to fighting, such as Prince Hauge of Su, Prince Azig of England, Oboi, the first warrior in Manchuria, and Ma Guozhu, a Hanchen. , which one is not the pillar of the Qing Dynasty's illustrious reputation?
The mere 10 Ming army is still a tired army. They have not established a firm foothold, so why worry about camping?
At this time, using troops to attack from all sides will surely defeat the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou was full of ambition again, so he asked Prince Hauge of England to lead 1 elite troops out of the east gate to kill; he asked Prince Azig of England to lead 1 elite troops to open the west gate to kill; 1 soldiers opened the north gate and went out to kill; let Ma Guozhu lead 1 soldiers to open the south gate and go out to kill.

The remaining 3 people Ma Hongchengchou personally led, while guarding the city, while watching the movements of the four soldiers and horses, in order to provide timely support.

Hong Chengchou's attack on all sides was considered a breakthrough, and it was also a decisive battle with the Ming army. He planned to tear the big net woven by the Ming army to pieces.

The four-way army rushed out from four directions, like four evil dragons, turning the world upside down, rushing towards the Ming army outside the city...

At this time, Lin Yi had also moved from outside Ningyuan City to the Ming Army Camp outside Jinzhou City.

Lin Yi left 2 troops outside Ningyuan City to watch over the [-] Qing troops in Ningyuan City, leaving them alone when they left the city, and annihilating them when they came out.

Don't look at the Wanqing army in Ganglin is also an elite army, but after being trapped for more than half a month, there is no food in the city, and the food road outside the city has been cut off for them. Sooner or later, it is the dish of the Ming army.

The Qing army in Ningyuan is not worried about Lin Yi at all now, leaving [-] Ming troops is enough to deal with them.

The battle in Ningyuan was handed over to Song Xiance to command, and then he moved to Jinzhou with the guard battalion and women's battalion.

Jinzhou, which Lin Yi is focusing on now, is a big battle. Of course, it is Hong Chengchou, the reinforcement of the Qing Dynasty, who has to deal with it. The plan to trap the city is to remove the siege of Jinzhou first, let Hong Chengchou enter the city, and then trap the city.

In order to achieve this goal, Lin Yi also spent a lot of money, because he knew that Hong Chengchou was not easy to deal with. Over the years, tough men like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong made him lose his temper, and he wanted this big traitor to jump into the pit. Definitely not worth the money.

That's why there was the defeat of the Ming army's Dalinghe, Xiaolinghe, and the Ming army's besieged Jinzhou. This defeat was more than 200 miles away, allowing Hong Chengchou and others to taste the sweetness, and wait for Hong Chengchou to relax. Vigilantly moved to the city, Lin Yi ordered the [-] Ming troops to march quickly, and made a comeback at a speed of [-] miles a night, which trapped Hong Chengchou in Jinzhou City.

The 1 Ming troops now trapped in the city include 2 shore troops and more than 6000 sailors who attacked Tashan, Xingshan, and Songshan, plus the [-] Ming troops originally stationed in Jinzhou, plus Lin Yi's guards Battalion and Women's Battalion, there are more than [-] Ming troops outside Jinzhou City.

After a night of rapid marching, the [-] Ming troops were exhausted.However, the cavalry has an advantage. He is fast and arrives first. After a few hours of rest, his fatigue is no longer so obvious.Mainly [-] to [-] infantry, at this time it can be called a tired army.

But Ji Dong didn't let them set up camp to rest, but said to the soldiers of each battalion: "If the Tartars attack at this time, can you still fight?"

Liu Zhaoji, Hao Yaoqi, He Renlong, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Dong Sheng, Wang Qi, etc. thought that Lin Yi would immediately attack the city and regain his energy. They all stood up their chests and responded loudly: "Master, I can fight!"

The chief general took the lead, and the soldiers below immediately regained their spirits, and followed the chief general at the top of their voices, shouting: "If you can fight, I swear to kill the Tartars, and I will die!"

Seeing that the morale was okay, Lin Yi nodded, "This is my Ming army."

Then Lin Yi ordered each battalion to set aside one-third of the troops for vigilance, one-third of the troops to set up camp and build fortifications, and one-third of the troops to rest and reorganize, eat, drink, and sleep, and the horses washed up with drinks. Quickly restore combat power.

Building fortifications Lin Yi clearly instructed to follow the fortifications from Gaobei, that is, to build three trenches outside Jinzhou City.

"Brother Lin, why?" Xiaoying felt that Lin Yi's arrangement was inappropriate. The soldiers ran all night and were exhausted. They should be allowed to rest immediately so as to quickly recover their combat power. Fortification and fortification work can be postponed. If she is asked to send troops, she will definitely leave half of the troops to rest, and the other half will be responsible for vigilance.

"Because Hong Chengchou is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has the talent of Wang Zuozhi. When our army is exhausted, he may come out of the city and attack us. We must guard against it."

"This Xiaoying knows, but what Xiaoying doesn't understand is, why are you in such a hurry to set up camp and build such fortifications?"

Lin Yi smiled, "I've already done the math. Thirty percent of the troops are enough to deal with the [-] Qing troops in the city. As long as they dare to come out to make trouble, I'm sure we can beat them back and set up camp so that the soldiers can have a home for more A good rest is also necessary to build fortifications, this is the plan and guarantee for the long-term besieged city, this is called three correct, once and for all."

"However, the soldiers are so tired, fighting and digging camps, can it be done?"

"Hmph, don't worry, my Ming's army can't be so delicate, it must be able to fight continuously, and those who don't adapt can only be eliminated."

Just as Lin Yi said this, the four gates of Jinzhou City were opened wide, and four Qing troops rushed out. They crossed the moat and rushed towards the Ming army like a blanket.

"Damn it, I guessed it right, good job, beat them back!"

When Lin Yi gave an order, the soldiers of the battalions felt that thanks to the preparations, they acted immediately and mobilized one-third of the guard troops to prepare for the battle. Of course it was too late to deploy the artillery at this time, and of course the supply troops did not follow up. , marched more than [-] miles overnight, and of course the heavy troops were not successful. They were all cavalry and infantry, and marched lightly.

According to the division of labor, only more than 3 people of the 6 Ming army formed a battle formation, while the remaining 3 people continued to set up camp, dig ditches and repair fortifications. Tired, but I don’t have the heart to rest. Those who have set up camp and are busy digging ditches are also distracted. They are paying attention to this battle because it is related to their fate. If they can't resist the Tartars, they must all go into battle. Since the city is going to be trapped, Hong Chengchou must not let Hong Chengchou run away from here again.

Combat troops, including 4 Qing troops and more than 3 Ming troops, launched a desperate struggle outside Jinzhou City. The two sides first used muskets, bows and arrows.

Of course, the Ming army of each battalion put the musketeers at the forefront. Facing the menacing Qing army, the well-trained Ming army officers and soldiers immediately raised their guns and fired as soon as they saw that they were within range.

For a while, the gunshots were like popping beans. The light firearms of the Ming army are self-igniting flintlock guns. Now they are equipped with nearly 200 pieces, which is more than [-] years ahead of the Qing army. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon.Conversely, if you sharpen your tools, you will be able to do good things.

The musketeers of the Ming army formed a continuous firepower, and the Qing army rushing in front were shot and fell off their horses one after another. Outside the range of the bow and arrow, that is, the two sides were about 200 meters apart, the Qing army charging over was in chaos, with casualties everywhere. ...
