The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Previously, in order to defend against the attack of the Jin army, the north, East and West gates of Fuzhou City were all sealed up. Only the south gate, which connects with nanxinkou, is the lifeline of materials. The gate can be opened freely, but it is also full of brambles.

At this time, he was aware of the abnormal state of the post Jin army, and Li Yuanqing did not dare to be conservative any more, so he sent out all the Scouts of Liu Dadou.

There were nearly 300 horses in Changsheng camp at this time, and the scouts used most of them, with nearly 200 horses.

However, due to the inherent disadvantages, there are only less than 100 scouts in Changsheng camp. Fortunately, there are nearly 100 Scouts under Chen Zhong's command.

Together, the size of 200 cavalry is not small.

Moreover, the scouts are the elite of the two elites, with rich military experience and at least 3 years of military service.

Soon, the south gate opened, more than 200 scouts rushed out of the city like the wind, and the east gate and North Gate gathered together.

The trenches and river fortifications of the Ming army had already been leveled by the later Jin army.

The horses of the two scouts galloped around the city wall. The tartar scouts in the distance were afraid of the blunderbuss of the Ming army, and they did not dare to come too far.

Not long ago, more than 100 Ming army scouts gathered outside the north gate. Relying on the defense of the city and surrounding the fortifications of the post Jin army, they constantly harassed.

On the front of the north gate, Houjin's scouts obviously began to be impatient. They quickly gathered two or three hundred people.

They kept suppressing the space of the Ming army's scouts and would never let them go too far from the city.

For a moment, both sides come and I come, the arrow rain flies, the birds and blunderbusses sing together.

Seeing that the main force of the later Jin Dynasty didn't attack the city, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang bravely came to the city to watch the battle.

After all, they were the overseers, and it was no problem that they kept hiding in the gate tower.

In addition, the Ming army won the battle yesterday. Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also had confidence in Li Yuanqing. They knew that Li Yuanqing would certainly safeguard their safety.

At this time, observing the battle between the Ming army's scouts and the Houjin's scouts at such a close distance, both of them were shocked.

Wei Liang said: "General Li, there are many Tartars. Our children will suffer."

Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed, "father-in-law, Tartars dare not come down to the city. Our boy can't fight, but he can come back. It's OK for the time being

"Eh?"

Wei Liang also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and relaxed a little.

Time has come to noon, Hou Jin is obviously more impatient, so he would like to rush directly to the city and kill these Ming army scouts.

The firemen had begun to prepare lunch, and the smell of hot meat filled the air.

At this time, Li Yuanqing has basically confirmed his judgment that the main force of the later Jin Dynasty was probably not in the camp.

"Elder brother, later in the afternoon, I'm going to go out of the city to fight against Houjin." Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang didn't leave. Li Yuanqing found a free time and told Chen Zhong what he thought.

"Ah? Yuan Qing, why? "

Chen Zhong was shocked and asked Li Yuanqing in a low voice.

Li Yuanqing sneered and simply narrated his inference to Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong is a veteran general. When Li Yuanqing points out clearly, how can he not see through the overall situation?

For a moment, the cold sweat had soaked his back, and he patted his head heavily, "Yuanqing, this is the dog's day. Why didn't I think of it? How could Huang Taiji, a dog scum, admit defeat easily? Yuanqing, do what you want. I have no opinion. "

Li Yuanqing nodded his head, waved his hand to Kong Youde and whispered a few words.

Kong Youde's eyes are not from a bright, busy heavy nod, low voice way: "general, this is a humble position to take people to do."

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a long breath, "go. Move faster. "

"Yes."

When Kong Youde left, Chen Zhong said carefully, "Yuanqing, when are you going to start? How many troops will be sent out? "

Li Yuanqing took a look at Chen Zhong and suddenly laughed, "elder brother, wealth is only sought in danger. Or we don't play. If we want to play, we'll play a big one. "

Li Yuanqing said, reaching Chen Zhong's ear and whispering, "I'm going to concentrate on the main force to fight. On each side of the city wall, only two guards will be left to defend. All the other elite soldiers will go out of the city to fight. If Huang Taiji wants to play empty city, I will help him

Chen Zhong's face was very dignified. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, is this too rash? In case the Tartars take advantage of it, the city will be... "

Li Yuanqing sneered, "big brother, Fuzhou is just a short distance from Jinzhou. According to the schedule, if things go well, Huang Taiji's main force should be able to come back within three days. We don't have much time. "

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant. "Yuanqing, you mean that the main force of Huangtaiji was last night. But I didn't notice

"Elder brother, Houjin camp stretches for more than ten miles. The vision is not good at night. It's normal that you can't see it at night. This is a good opportunity for us. "Having said that, Chen Zhong understood that Li Yuanqing was determined to fight against Houjin.

He thought for a moment. A fierce light flashed in his eyes and said in a low voice, "Yuanqing, do what you want. Big brother is always on your side. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile and shook Chen Zhong's hand heavily. "Big brother, if this is possible, you and my brother will share the glory."

The two men deliberated on the details again.

At this time, Wei Liang also found that something was wrong. Under the gate tower, someone was demolishing the defensive building blocking the city gate. He rushed to Li Yuanqing and said, "General Li, someone is going to demolish the gate. What is this for?"

Li Yuanqing laughed, "father-in-law, later, I'm going to fight out of the city. Tartars are so fierce that they can't be so arrogant. They must be eradicated as soon as possible. "

However, Wei Liang was fed up with the roar of gunfire. Listening to Li Yuanqing's words, he said, "General Li, here are Tartars. You..."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "my father-in-law, we still have some experience in the formation of the camp. With the help of General Chen, I am sure of this. What's more, there are still many troops left at the head of the city, so there will be no problem. "

After all, this matter was too rash, and Li Yuanqing could not provide enough evidence. He had to find a cover to bluff Wei Liang and "kill first and then report.".

When Wei Liang saw that Li Yuanqing's war intention had been decided, he could not say anything more.

Although he was a supervisor of the army, there was a huge gap between him and Li Yuanqing, whether in the palace or in Changsheng island.

"General Li, you must be careful."

"Don't worry. I'll come back to discuss it with you when I'm in a humble position. "

After stabilizing Wei Liang's side, Li Yuanqing returned to the big tent and quickly called together the Changsheng camp and Chen Zhong's officers at or above the general level for a meeting.

Time is urgent. Li Yuanqing doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Chen Zhong first stated that all his headquarters were subject to Li Yuanqing's instructions, and then Li Yuanqing directly issued orders to the two ministries.

The headquarters of Changsheng camp, except for Xu Heizi, who led a small number of troops to stay in the city, the rest of the main force went out, and the same was true for Chen Zhong.

There are also two semi armed auxiliary soldiers, 5000 young and strong, coming out at the same time.

The so-called semi armed auxiliary soldiers are, in fact, reserves of the two departments.

In the previous exercises, they have received certain military training, including some weapons such as long spears and single knives, simple military uniforms and a small amount of armor. Their equipment is very simple and crude, which is far from being compared with real soldiers.

But they are also fighting power.

At this time, the main force of the two units was about 5000. With the assistance of the 5000 auxiliary troops, the scale of the two units was already 10000.

From the order of Li Yuanqing, the city of Fuzhou was quickly busy.

Two hours later, at about 4:00 p.m., 2600 soldiers in Changsheng camp, 3000 auxiliary soldiers, 2400 soldiers and 2000 auxiliary soldiers on Chen Zhong's side were ready.

The passage to the north gate was also opened, and everything was ready except for the east wind.

However, after the Jin army had cannons in red, Li Yuanqing did not dare to rush. He immediately ordered the city to kill pigs and sheep. Before going to war, he fed the children first.

Time flies by.

When the soldiers had enough to eat and drink and had a rest for more than half an hour, it was almost 7:30.

In the hazy night, there is a flash of fire in the opposite Houjin camp. It seems that the scale is the same as before, but the noise is obviously less than before.

Li Yuanqing came down from the top of the city, put on his armor, and rode on a tall black steed. Beside him, Huang Guoshan and Kong were escorted by more than 100 soldiers. He was majestic.

Besides, Chen Zhong is the same.

"Yuanqing, it's about time. Let's do it. They can't wait Most of the day has passed since the decision was made in the morning, and Chen Zhong has lost his patience.

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother, don't worry, wait a moment. In a quarter of an hour. "

At this time, it is dark early, people eat early.

But the composition of the later Jin army is very complicated. There are Jurchens, Mongols, Han people, and armored people. Generally, they want the Nuzhen master to eat first. When the Nuzhen master finishes eating, the slaves dare to eat.

After dinner, the Jin army attached great importance to it. Not to mention the big master, ordinary real slaves also wanted to kill pigs and sheep. Just now, when he was in the city, Li Yuanqing had noticed that the master of the real slave had just eaten, and the slaves had not eaten yet.

Later generations have a common sense in medicine: "it is not advisable to do strenuous exercise after meals."

At this time, the Ming army had finished the meal for an hour, had almost digested, and was in the peak of all aspects.

Today, the army of the Late Jin Dynasty was obviously upset by the Scouts of the Ming army. They should move more slowly. Li Yuanqing would also give them a chance to eat well for their slaves.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Li Yuanqing sneered, "dispatch troops."

"Yes."

For a moment, the city gate opened, and all the troops quickly and orderly ran out of the city.By this time, the scouts had cleared the defensive forces of Houjin 20 paces outside the city, and approached the wall built by the Houjin army a hundred paces away today.

With this support, the Ming army moved faster. It took more than 20 minutes. The main force had been exhausted and occupied the fortification built by the Jin army behind the wall, approaching the wall a hundred paces away.

According to science, "the interaction of forces is mutual.".

In the later Jin Dynasty, these fortifications were built to better attack the city. However, at this time, the Ming army went out, and these fortifications became the support of the Ming army.

Even with the deterrence of red cannon, the Ming army was not afraid to rely on it.

Soon, the forward of Ming army was approaching the wall.

When the latter Jin army built these walls, they deliberately left a gap in order to make it more convenient for their main force to attack.

But at this time, these gaps become the entrance of their death.

It was already more than 8 o'clock. The real slaves had already returned to the camp to rest. Most of the guards on the wall were slaves of the Han Army flag.

How can these people resist the attack of the long life battalion commander's spearmen?

After a round of impact, the gap has been opened, and these Han Army flag and miscellaneous soldiers suffered heavy casualties and howled constantly.

Although they saw the movement of the Ming army just now, they didn't expect the Ming army to move so fast that they had already killed in the blink of an eye.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Minggouzi has sneaked camp!"

For a moment, the fire flashed and the shrill cry resounded through the night sky.
