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

Chapter 356 Occupying Jinzhou City

In the middle of the night, Lin Yi, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound of cannons and earth-shattering shouts.

In the past few months living outside Jinzhou City, Lin Yi had a very regular work and rest schedule, and the barracks besieging Jinzhou City became his training ground and martial arts ground.

Three deep trenches and a joint battalion of 10 troops surrounded Jinzhou City completely. There is no need to worry that the Qing army in the city will break out, especially after the reinforcements from Nikan and Boluo were repelled. After He came back, he regarded the battlefield as his imperial capital.

In his Chinese army camp, Lin Yi got up early every day to practice his sword and boxing skills, which lasted about an hour, that is, two hours.

Then, Xiaoying and Zhezhe accompanied him to have breakfast, and went to the women's camp in the morning and afternoon to watch the training of female soldiers.

He doesn't have to worry about the camp defense and the besieged city now.He Renlong, Hao Yaoqi, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Wang Jian, Dong Sheng, Wang Qi and other generals are more capable than each other. They have followed Lin Yi for many years, and they all know Lin Yi's temper and the rules of the army.

Since the Battle of Dalinghe, the women's battalion sisters have come back to train even harder.Because although this battle was won, the sisters of the women's battalion also suffered more than 200 casualties.Now Ji Dong's women's camp has less than 400 people.

After this battle, more than 300 people realized that there was a big gap between them and the male soldiers, especially compared with the guard battalion, which made them train harder and harder.

Ji Dong often went to the training ground of the women's camp and taught them how to punch and shoot. Ji Dong's frequent visits boosted their morale, and the girls all felt honored.The training of the women's battalion has also become a beautiful scenery in the Ming camp, often attracting patrolling male soldiers to stop and watch.

Evening is the time for Lin Yi to entertain and relax. From time to time, someone will prepare a sumptuous banquet for him, then listen to music and watch dances, and then Xiaoying and Zhezhe take turns serving him and resting in bed.

He was in the military camp, and at the same time supervised the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was a memorial from Beijing or Nanjing, he would handle it in time and direct it remotely.

Although he is not in Beijing, the imperial capital, the state machinery of the Ming Dynasty is still operating due to the six cabinets.

Lin Yi is now on a campaign all year round. Although he has no time to govern the government, most of the officials in the six and three yamen are old officials, especially the local officials who have not had time to change.

But now after Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and Lin Yi kicked him out again, many high-ranking officials were killed and injured in this turmoil in the officialdom, which also shocked the local officials. Those who were single-minded or dissatisfied with Lin Yi all defected, either fled to Daxi to join Zhang Xianzhong, or fled to the south to join Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, the remaining civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are central or local, have curbed their previous stinking problems a lot.

Especially those civil servants of the Donglin Party, now on the surface no one dares to make trouble, knowing that Lin Yi is in power in the Ming Dynasty now, he is not Chongzhen, and he will never spoil them.

Dashun has been destroyed by him, and now Daxizhong is being destroyed. He has won successive battles with the Manchus outside the pass. If the war is quelled, Lin Yi will definitely rectify the officialdom.

Therefore, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is gradually stabilizing, except for the war with Zhang Xianzhong and the battle with Zheng Zhilong in the south, there are almost no difficult things.

As for the supplies of money, food, soldiers and horses used in these wars, Lin Yi instructed the cabinet officials to collect more taxes from Jiangnan and reduce taxes from the west and north. After years of fighting, it is necessary to recover.

Apart from these things, Ji Dong just ate, drank and had fun with Xiaoying and Zhezhe.

Today, after Song Xiance made a fortune teller for him, Lin Yi passed down an order that all battalions should never leave their saddles, and their soldiers never unload their armor.

In the middle of the night, Song Xiance's hexagram came true, and the thundering cannons and earth-shattering shouts woke Lin Yi up from his sleep.

"What's going on outside?"

Soon someone came to report that the Qing army in Jinzhou City was going to break through on a large scale tonight. It seems that it means to come out in full force. All the gates of the city are wide open, but only the east gate and the north gate have Qing troops rushing out. The army has already caught fire with them.

"Mr. Song's calculations are really accurate." This time Lin Yi lost all sleepiness.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe waited on Lin Yi to get dressed, and Zhang Hua gathered the troops of the guard battalion outside, waiting for Lin Yi's order.

At this time Song Xiance also came over.

Wearing heavy armor, Lin Yi led Xiaoying and Zhezhe. Under the protection of Zhang Hua and other guard battalions, accompanied by Song Xiance, their team left the camp of the Chinese army and slipped outside.

At this time, outside the east gate and north gate of Jinzhou City, the shouts of killing and the sound of guns became more intense, and burst after burst, like the rising tide of the sea.

Outside the south gate and the west gate, no Qing troops were found coming out, but the Ming troops in these two places were all ready and ready.

This is Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan coming to ask for orders. These two generals said that Hao Yaoqi and He Renlong were very busy fighting at the north and east gates, but there was no movement at the west and north gates of their houses. The soldiers who reported the incident It will be said that the gates of these two places are wide open, and they ask to enter.

Lin Yi thought for a while, and asked Song Xiance: "All the gates of Jinzhou City are open, but only two gates have Qing troops coming out. What do you think, sir?"

"My lord, my humble opinion, this must be Hong Chengchou's tricks, we don't care about him, just wipe out the enemies who broke through."

"Mr. Gaoming, well said." Lin Yi smiled and looked at Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, "Have you heard that the Qing army in the city is like a grasshopper that can't fly, since they don't come out, you don't have to cross the three roads Go find them in the trenches, just in your defensive position, how happy you are to hear the shouts and gunfire over there?"

"My lord, I understand." The second general agreed and left. The two of them felt that their hands would itch if they didn't fight, but they didn't dare to attack the city without a military order.

Lin Yi walked around and learned about the battle situation of each battalion, then returned to his tent of the Chinese army, and sat down with Song Xiance to drink tea.

At the fourth watch, someone came to report that Hao Yaoqi outside the north gate and He Renlong outside the east gate repelled the Qing army's two breakout charges one after another, and now the Qing army's third breakout charge has started again .But now the east and west gates of Jinzhou City are still open and no soldiers have come out.

Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan led their troops around the trenches outside the west gate and south gate, hoping that the Qing army would come out from inside.

Lin Yi smiled, "These two guys are too energetic. It's a pity that the Qing army in the city doesn't pity them. If they don't break through from their place, they are really in a hurry, and there is nothing they can do."

Song Xiance grinned, his face became even darker under the light, "But my lord, it seems that the Tartars in the city really put all their eggs in one basket tonight."

The two chatted while drinking tea, and at five o'clock another person came to report that the Tatars had broken out of the encirclement more rapidly this time, and there was a fierce battle outside the east gate and the north gate.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Oh, there are some people who can't sleep because of the war, let them support..."

Jiang Xingyuan and Gan Bao quickly received the order, and the two generals were overjoyed. They dispatched [-] troops from the Nancheng Barracks and Xicheng Barracks to support the East Gate and North Gate respectively.

When the sky was gray and gray, Lin Yi received another report. The battle between Dongcheng and Beicheng was over. The Qing army did not break out of the encirclement, and the corpses filled up the moat and the three trenches outside the city.Azig, the British prince of the Qing Dynasty, and Oboi, the first warrior in Manchuria, all died in the chaos.

As soon as Lin Yi heard that the battle was fought well, he immediately ordered the battalions to attack Jinzhou City.

After this order was passed down, Lin Yi was not idle. At dawn, he led the guard battalion across three ditches and rushed into Jinzhou City from the south gate.

Now Jinzhou City has basically become an empty city, and there is no Qing army to defend it at all.

Lin Yi's group of people drove straight in and came to Shuai's Mansion in one breath, where they encountered tenacious resistance from the Qing army protecting Shuai's Mansion.

But there are only more than 1000 Qing troops here, even though they are the elite of the Eight Banners, they have drank human blood and eaten human flesh, and their combat effectiveness can be called tough.

But compared with Ji Dong's battalion of more than 1000 guards, the combat power is not at the same level.Therefore, the battle ended within half an hour, and more than 1000 Qing soldiers were killed by Lin Yi's guard battalion.Lin Yi's men rushed into the Shuai's mansion with an unstoppable force, and Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the Shuai's mansion, became a shackle.

In fact, Hong Chengchou saw it very accurately. At the beginning, the Ming army did not rush in. He knew that his four-door opening did not attract the Ming army, so he did not distract the attention and strength of the Ming army outside the city until dawn. Just rushing in, it shows that their breakout is more or less ominous.

Surrounded by the Ming army, and the guards were beheaded, Hong Chengchou didn't want to be a prisoner, so he pulled out his new master along the Tianzi sword given to him by the little emperor, and hung it across his neck to commit suicide.

But he gritted his teeth a few times, but couldn't do it after all.

At this time, Lin Yi appeared in front of Hong Chengchou, "Lord Hong, don't come here without any problems, do you know Lin Yi?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Lin Yi in front of him in astonishment.

Lin Yi sneered: "Didn't you want to commit suicide? Lin will help you. Hurry up and wipe your neck. Why can't you do it? Then don't blame Lin for being rude. Come on, tie me up!"

Soon Hong Chengchou was robbed of the sword, and his arms were twisted and tied like zongzi. The pain made her grin on her lightly pecked face.

At this point, the Ming army completely occupied Jinzhou City, and the Qing army in the city was wiped out.
