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

Chapter 336 The Battle of Jinzhou ([-])

Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan were indeed a pair of peasant brothers. They were also from the same hometown, and they were both from the Yongping area.

The two of them are like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. They have the same name. Except for one tall and one short, they are very similar in every aspect. Since the beginning of the army, he has fought bravely, advanced and retreated together, made many military exploits, and gained a great reputation.

Now in Lin Yi's standard battalion, the two generals are both guerrilla generals. Although the guerrilla generals are small, they are middle-level officers in the battle order of the Ming army, equivalent to the brigade level in later generations.But it was not easy for the two farmers to get to this point in just a few years.

Moreover, Ji Dong was able to entrust the two of them with specific responsibility for the standard battalion with the strongest combat capability.

Ji Dong often used them as lieutenant generals, but at critical times, the two of them could also play the role of chief generals on their own.

Just like this time, the two were very good at fighting. They didn't sleep all night and ran more than 200 miles. They were still as fierce as tigers. First, more than 1 Tartars outside the east gate were driven into the city like cattle, causing the Qing Dynasty to lose another prince.

They beat the Tartars outside the west gate so that they did not dare to come out, and then they thought it was not enough, so they led their troops to detour to the north gate to continue fighting.

When they came to the battlefield outside the north gate, a charge smashed the men and horses of Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, to pieces, and they were routed.

Then the three heroes fought Oboi, Gan Bao was small, if he hadn't jumped up to fight, the iron pole in his hand would have focused on the opponent's next three sets, horse legs and human legs were his main targets.

Now with a click of the pole, he knocked Oboi to the ground.

Jiang Xingyuan was just the opposite of him. He was a tall and mighty man, and the big shovel in his hand was aimed at the head.When he and Gan Bao fought together, they learned from each other's strengths and made up for each other's weaknesses.

When Gan Bao's pole was drawn towards Oboi, Jiang Xingyuan's big shovel also turned and swept towards Oboi's big bald head.

Oboi has a problem in fighting. He will take off his clothes when he is in a hurry. When he is more anxious and unable to win, he will take off his clothes more. This may be to show his fearlessness.

In addition, his head is very special, first of all, it is big, probably three circles bigger than Xu Jinjiang's head.

Then this head is oval in shape, rich in nutrition, and young. The big bald head is shaved like a light bulb. If there is not a sign of money rat tail on it, it can be used as a 500-watt light bulb under the light. .

Now Oboi threw away his helmet to show his ruthlessness, his upper body is shirtless, his head is shining brightly, and the rat tail of money is biting in his mouth, that kind of ruthlessness can make people shudder.

Jiang Xingyuan had already aimed at this head, and his weapon was quite special, a shovel, but it was not an ordinary shovel.An ordinary wooden pole with a spade head, no more than five or six feet long, with a sharp edge on one side, used for digging soil and digging pits for planting crops, it is a farm tool.

But now Jiang Xingyuan's shovel has undergone a fundamental change, and it has become a sharp weapon for killing people on the battlefield. Of course, ordinary shovels will not work. In order to adapt to this change, Lin Yi specially ordered someone to tailor it for him. The whole shovel It is made of mixed iron and refined steel. The length of the spade shaft is exactly one foot, plus the head of the spade is one foot and five inches. The length of the whole weapon is one foot and one foot and five inches. the weight of.

The big and thick shovel is like a small dustpan, with sharp edges on the left, right and front. This shovel can be called the king of shovels.

Jiang Xingyuan was tall and mighty, and he swung the big shovel into the wind, slapping, splitting, shoveling, and sweeping. These were his basic moves, and the shovel could not be separated from Oboi's unique head.

After Jiang Xingyuan struck the air with a shovel, he turned around and swept towards Oboi's head with the shovel.

It was a coincidence at this time that Oboi was knocked down by Gan Bao's shoulder pole. This fall, he just escaped the catastrophe, otherwise Jiang Xingyuan's shovel would have blown his big head away.

But he didn't dodge quickly, he lowered his head when he fell down, that is to say, Jiang Xingyuan's shovel swept a little higher, and hit the top of his head with a click, as a result, the shovel cut off a piece of the scalp on the top of Oboi's head .

This piece of face was about the size of a palm, and it happened to cut off all his money rat tails.

He didn't kill Oboi, did he think his head was broken or he moved?His eyes were blood red, and in a haze, he could still see that there were soldiers of the Ming army all around him, and all the soldiers on his body had been beheaded.

Oboi, who was lying on the ground, was in a state of shock, touched his head with his hands, but his face was covered with blood, and he jumped up from the ground regardless of the suddenness, flew several feet high, and kicked a Ming soldier on his horse. After getting down, he sat firmly on the horse and fled.

"Chasing—" Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful, so they ran after him.

At this moment, Liu Zhaoji also recovered his strength and came forward, Oboi was too powerful, he couldn't deal with him alone, if Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan hadn't come to help in time, he would have to go through a lot of trouble to kill Oboi today.

Now seeing that Oboi had escaped, he gathered his generals and chased and wiped out the remnants of the Tartars together with the soldiers of the Biaobai. When they came out, there were casualties everywhere outside the city, and blood spattered the city gate.

Aobai was defeated and scolded his mother continuously in the city. Firstly, he was injured in the head. Although a military doctor covered his head, but such a person is neither human nor ghost, how will he see people in the future? The commander of the guards is too ashamed of these titles, it would be better to die in battle, he is in a hurry.

The second is the disastrous defeat so far, the [-] Zhenghuangqi army was almost wiped out, only those who escaped quickly, including himself, ran back to the city, otherwise they would all die outside the city.

Is Hong Chengchou in the city asleep or blind?He said it well before leaving the army, which way he will support, but where are the reinforcements?
Aobai cursed and came to see Hong Chengchou regardless of the pain on his head, if it wasn't because he was afraid that he was the favorite of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and also the new secretary of the Ministry of War, or the censor of the right capital of the procuratorate, the key is to have Shangfang's sword and wear a yellow mandarin jacket, He holds the power of life and death, otherwise he will pull this Han Chen in front of him and slap his mouth hard.

He angrily came to find Hong Chengchou's theory...

This time he really misunderstood Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was neither blind nor asleep, he could see clearly from the top of the city, and there were scouts to report the war four gates away from the top of the city, so the situation he had grasped was very timely precise.

Now Hong Chengchou is three points more anxious than Oboi, Oboi is at most a disastrous defeat all the way, while Hong Chengchou is looking at the battlefields outside the city.

Prince Su Haoge of the Qing Dynasty outside the East Gate died on the battlefield. He probably had to explain this to the Empress Dowager when he went back.Although Empress Dowager Zhuang had a bright smile, a beautiful figure, and charming eyes, she admired him very much.But a prince just disappeared. Although Brother Hao was not his own son, he was the grandson of Nurhachi and the son of Huang Taiji.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who was in charge of the Qing regime, would of course feel distressed. Even if people are not close, the country and the country are still close. Hong Chengchou knows that this woman has strong desires. She will not only conquer men in bed, but also conquer the world.

Prince Su Hauge was undoubtedly his right-hand man, and it was too great for him to lose an arm.

Now the west gate is about to be defeated, the fierce battle at the east gate is unsuccessful, and the situation outside the south gate is not optimistic. The 1 Qing army led by Hanchen Ma Guozhu was severely beaten by the Ming army general Hao Yaoqi.

Of course, I am very familiar with Hao Yaoqi and Hong Chengchou. This person was born as a thief. He first worked under Gao Yingxiang. After King Gao Chuang was killed, he would follow Li Zicheng to make a living. Among the big thieves to be exterminated and the high-level figures of the thieves, this person is as famous as Liu Zongmin.

Now why did he defect to Lin Yi in a daze and became one of the main generals of the Ming Dynasty's army? This is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. One of the pillars of the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou knew Hao Yaoqi's bravery. He had fought with Daming's army for so many years and moved to several provinces. He was especially good at running and fighting.

Now he led a team of the Ming army to kill Ma Guozhu's Qing army, leaving corpses all over the field, blood flowing into rivers, and the army was routed.

Now that the west city is closed, both the south gate and the north gate have suffered disastrous defeats and need reinforcements. There is only one east gate left. Although there is no sign of defeat, it seems that it will be difficult to win without reinforcements.

However, there are limited soldiers and horses in the city. When the four-way army was sent out, there were only 3 troops left in the city to defend the city. Now he has sent 5000, and there are still 25000 troops left. Bird soldiers?
Except for the four groups of soldiers who were defeated all the way back, they did not dare to fight in the city, and the remaining three groups of soldiers and horses all needed reinforcements, and two of them were particularly urgent. Which route should they support?A lack of soldiers and horses is like a cup of water, and salary is useless. If there are too many troops, he suffers from not being able to scatter beans into soldiers. The so-called clever woman can't cook without rice.

Hong Chengchou forced himself to calm down, it seems that he was wrong at the beginning, and underestimated that Ji Yi was 10 soldiers.

However, the Ming army came from afar and belonged to the exhausted division. While they were not on a firm footing, they sent heavy troops to attack head-on.Hong Chengchou couldn't figure it out.

What he couldn't understand was when did the Ming army become so powerful?He has been an official in the Ming Dynasty for many years, from the governor of Shaanxi to the governor of the three sides, and then to the governor of Jiliao, he has dealt with these armies. He knows the situation of the army of the Ming Dynasty like the palm of his hand.It can be said that he has never seen such a powerful army, not to mention the exhausted army who marched 200 miles overnight, but the real elite of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting's team, Lu Xiangsheng's troops, and Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning cavalry , I am afraid that there will be no immediate combat power.

They are all as if they have been beaten with chicken blood. They are not afraid of death, and the more they fight, the braver they are.

What's more, Hong Chengchou also saw a scene, the 10 Ming troops outside the city did not go out with all their strength, they only put part of them into the battle, and the remaining Ming troops turned a blind eye to the battle.

Some of them are busy setting up camp, some are busy digging ditches, digging and building fortifications, and some are outside the city, doing nothing, just watching and not participating in the battle, as if the battle in front of them has nothing to do with them.

It seems that you shouldn't send troops from all directions. If you want to achieve your original battle goal and completely break the encirclement of the 10 Ming army outside the city, it is impossible for the entire city to come out in full force!

Hong Chengchou had to make a decision, this battle could not be fought again, he must preserve his strength and defend Jinzhou, and try again in the future.

So Hong Chengchou thought of this, and ordered all the people outside the city to withdraw their troops to the city immediately.

In fact, this order was a late order for the two Qing armies in the south and north of the city. Without such an order, they were defeated because they couldn't resist it at all and couldn't help themselves.

Only Azige outside the east gate fought against He Renlong, and the soldiers under him fought evenly. After receiving this order, he heaved a sigh of relief and led his troops back into the city. .

He Long led the soldiers and horses to chase after him until Prince Azig's men ran back to the city, pulled up the suspension bridge and closed the city gate tightly.

The first battle was successful, and several troops of the Qing army were all driven back to the city. At this time, the camp of the Ming army outside Jinzhou City was also set up.

Ji Dong was very happy, and moved to the battalion to rest his troops and horses. As for cleaning the battlefield and the post-war affairs and the three trenches, he would continue after the troops and horses rested.
