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

Chapter 342 Recovering Ningyuan
When the Qing army in Ningyuan City stayed in the city for nearly two months, they finally couldn't hold back anymore.There is no food and grass outside, and there are no reinforcements outside. There has been a phenomenon of hungry people eating each other in the city.

In addition to people, there is nothing else to eat in the city.The morale of the army fluctuated, and the mutiny of the soldiers intensified.

The chief general of the Qing Dynasty, Gang Lin, was also shaking with hunger.

The 1 Tatar high-level generals headed by Gang Lin thought that if they were all starved to death in the city, it would be too useless!

Because the current situation of Ningyuan City is different from other cities, there is no Ming army besieging outside, if the Ming army besieged the city and cannot break through the siege, it is understandable to be trapped in the dead city like this.

But now this is not the case at all. Outside the city, there are only two Ming army camps in the south and north of the city. It is obvious that 2 Ming troops are waiting.

They will definitely not come to attack the city, even if the four gates of Ningyuan City are wide open, the Ming army will not rush in.

The Ming army's intentions were obvious. The two big camps, one south and one north, were staring at each other. As soon as the Qing army in the city left the city, these Ming troops would rush over and fight a war of annihilation.

Because of the four gates of Ningyuan City, in fact, the remaining two gates, because outside the east gate is the vast sea, they do not have the ability to fish and shrimp, of course it is impossible to escape from the sea.

But outside the west gate are stretches of mountains and hills, they don't have wings, and they can't fly over.

In other words, no matter which direction they drove out of the city, they couldn't get around the Ming army of the two camps in the north and south.

There is no besieged city, it is better than a besieged city, these Ming troops are too ruthless!
After all, the Qing army in the city could not survive the Ming army outside the city.

Because there is no food in the city, and the Ming army outside the city not only has enough food and wages, but also rectifies wine and meat every now and then, as if trying to anger them, eating outside the city in front of them.

In this way, the Ming army outside the city ate, drank, talked and laughed all day long.

The Qing army in the city could only watch helplessly.That kind of pity and sorrow is a bit more uncomfortable than a beggar seeing a bucket of chicken, but he can't eat it so close, and he can't even smell it.

Some soldiers of the Ming army were also very bad. They dumped leftover food in front of them, and some threw bones spit out of their mouths to them.

It's a pity that their hands are not long enough, the city wall is so high, there are several miles above and below the city, and there is still a moat across the city, they can't catch it at all, and they complain that the Ming army is not strong enough.

If looking at plums can really quench their thirst, the effect at this time is just the opposite. The more they look at them, the more hungry and thirsty they will feel.

What a pity!

The generals of the Tartars in Ganglin finally lost their composure.

Forget it, isn't it just death?Don't we really dare not go out of the city and start a field battle with the Ming army?
Once upon a time, I was invincible in the battlefield of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. No matter it was Mongolia, Han Ming, North Korea, wherever the children of the Eight Banners got, the situation changed, and the gods all abdicated. We are the masters of the world!
But now, we actually live in the city and dare not come out to fight the Ming army. The face of our ancestors has been completely lost by us!

The blood of Gang Lin and the others surged up. These few days were consumed by hunger and only a little bit of blood was left, and now it finally broke out.

The gates of Ningyuan City, which had been closed for nearly two months, were opened, and 1 Tartars were killed.

As soon as these Tartars came out, the Ming troops in the south and north of the city discovered them.

"Master Lin is really clever, the dog finally can't stay still, kill!"

Here Song Xiance is the commander-in-chief, and the 2 Ming troops outside the south gate and north gate of Ningyuan City have been aggrieved for too long.Ningyuan City is right in front of you, the siege is not allowed, and the Tartars are so close, you can't kill them with staring eyes, and your hands itch when you look at them.

Now these Tartars couldn't hold back and finally came out, if they don't kill them now, when will they wait?
The two sides soon encountered outside Ningyuan City. 1 Qing troops and 2 Ming troops.Such wild battlefield scenes are also shocking.

But in fact, these 1 Tartars are just an imaginary number now. According to the real number, it is estimated that there are less than 9000, and they are no longer the elite of the Eight Banners, but the exhausted division of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. pig.

The 2 Ming troops left by Lin Yi here are all his direct troops, although they are not as powerful as the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion.

But their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those of the declining old Ming army.

The elite soldiers are against the tired soldiers, and the number is two against one.

Therefore, there is no suspense in this battle. As soon as they come into contact with these Qing troops, they are their targets.

The so-called strength and weakness are relative, just like the ratio of high and low, there is no identification without comparison.

At this time, the Qing army was too weak. Although they were fighting for their lives, they had more energy than energy. They could not eat enough food for such a long time. These Manchu Tartars and traitor teams all looked as if they were suffering from malnutrition. Not only them, but also war horses.

People have nothing to eat, let alone horses?

These thin horses and tired soldiers were once all-powerful elites of the Eight Banners.

But the strength of these Eight Banners elites can't show 1/3 of the usual standing, all of them are sick.The image of the fierce and tyrannical Tartars who come and go like the wind is greatly reduced now.

Without the Ming army attacking them, the Tartars would have been able to fall off their horses as they rode.Seeing the Ming army, within the range of the shooting range, I wanted to shoot an arrow but couldn't draw the bow.

When you get close, you want to fight, but you can't wield a knife or gun.

The generals and soldiers of the Ming army were just the opposite, as the saying goes.

The soldiers of the Ming army now feel that they are very capable. It seems that they have developed a bit of ability, strength, and martial arts.

Four or five ordinary Ming soldiers could not deal with a Tartar before.Now it's completely reversed. An ordinary Ming soldier can kill five or six Tartars with one bite.

The soldiers of the Ming army fought more and more bravely. They either charged back and forth, or divided and surrounded them, as if entering no one's land, or like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing these Tartars and traitor teams like wolfs and horses, causing casualties.

Some of the Tartars were forced to jump into the sea, some were forced to fall off the cliff, and some ran back to Ningyuan City in embarrassment, trying to continue their tenacious resistance.

But as soon as they ran into the city, before the city gate had time to close, the overwhelming Ming army rushed in with their buttocks in their hands.

Street fighting broke out again in the city. In the wild, these Eight Banners troops were the targets of the Ming army's execution. When they arrived in the city, they were also the living targets of the Ming army soldiers.

If you are ruthless, it will fuel the hostility of the Tartars.

If you are ruthless, and I am more ruthless than you, then these tartars and traitors should give up.

It took less than an hour for the 1 Qing troops in Ningyuan City to leave the city to fight the Ming army. Most of them were beheaded.

But Lin Yi's policy towards the Qing army is consistent and clear, that is, to resolutely and completely eliminate them, and no prisoners are allowed.

So Song Xiance said: "Master Lin has an order to kill these Tartars and traitors and not to surrender!"

After another half an hour of fighting, Song Xiance commanded the 2 Ming army to kill all the Qing troops in Ningyuan City, and no one was spared.

Including Gang Lin, the chief general of the Qing army, also died in the rebellion.

The Tartars of Ganglin learned a lesson when they were about to die. The Ming army is really not what it used to be. Not only is it powerful in combat, but it is even more ferocious than them. It is impossible to conquer Ming and Han possible!
The traitors of the Tartars in Ningyuan City learned a lesson even more. When they reported to Lord Yan, they made a solemn oath that the next eight generations would not be traitors!
There are dead and wounded corpses everywhere inside and outside the city of Ningyuan. The dead bodies of Tartars can be seen everywhere on the seaside and on the cliffs.

The battle was a complete victory, and the victorious army led by Song Xiance marched into Ningyuan City, pulled down all the flags of the Qing Dynasty from the top of the city, and replaced them with the flags of the Ming Dynasty, and then ordered people to clean up the battlefield and bury the Tartars. Needless to say, there are post-war matters such as treating the dead bodies, treating the wounded, and taking care of the trophies.

Since then, Ningyuan City has been occupied by the Qing Dynasty for a year, that is, in October 1644, it returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty.

The common people in Ningyuan City have long fled to the mountains and forests because of their powerful occupation. Now that they heard that the army had won the battle, and the Tartars and traitors in the city were all killed, they rushed to tell each other and came back bravely. After all, their homeland Difficult to leave.

Then Song Xiance sent people to report victory to Lin Yi's flying horse outside Jinzhou City. They were on standby in the city to appease the people.

We all know Lin Yi's policy of being close to the people and loving the people. Their military discipline is strict, and they are only busy helping the common people rebuild their homes, and no one dares to break into the houses and commit crimes.

Song Xiance also set up several porridge factories in the city, and those homeless people could come here to receive porridge for free, so as not to starve to death.

The clothes replaced by the army are washed, sewn and mended, and then given to the ordinary people who have no clothes to wear. It is going to be cold.The common people have to spend the winter with clothes to keep out the cold.

The common people saw that the world had really changed. Although it was still the Ming Dynasty, they had never seen such a good army.

They all cried and bowed to the ground, thanking Song Xiance.

"You don't need to thank me, this is all due to Lin Yi's immeasurable merits."

The common people kowtowed again, weeping bitterly, and they just wanted to call Lin Yi long live...

The camp of the Ming Army outside Jinzhou City welcomed a special group of guests on this day. This is the Korean envoy Cui Chengxiu who came across the ocean by boat.

He brought 200 people with the secret decree of the Korean king Li Ji, and 100 of them were Korean beauties who pretended to be businessmen. Big baggage, small baggage.

Some of these are gifts from the super-selected king to Ji Dong and others, and the other part is what they applied along the way.Because they took a boat from North Korea to Shandong, and then to Jinzhou outside the customs, the mountains and rivers are far away.It's certainly a trek.

Now that he finally arrived at his destination, Lin Yi heard that North Korea had sent an envoy, and immediately summoned him grandly.

When Cui Chengxiu saw Lin Yi, he didn't expect that the famous Lin Yi would be so young, he seemed to be in his 20s, yet the whole Ming Dynasty was already in his hands.

Cui Chengxiu has long understood Lin Yi's sudden birth and his all-powerful experience in the past few years.Cui Chengxiu also felt that Lin Yi was like a god, a god sent by heaven to save Daming, and also their savior of North Korea.

Cui Chengxiu bowed down to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi helped him up and asked him to excuse him. Then Cui Chengxiu explained the purpose of coming, and took out the secret decree of the North Korean king...

Lin Yi was overjoyed when he heard that, it was true that there is more help than there is help but there is little help. North Korea wants to break with the Manchu Tartars and form an alliance with Ming. Wouldn't Ming have another helper?
