Chapter Eighty-Three: The Siege of Liaoyang


At this time, the city gate opened and a group of Jurchen cavalry rushed out.

The officers of the Guards ordered people to protect the Jurchen tribesmen and retreat.

He drew out a sword and pointed it forward: "Array."

The Guards quickly formed three rows.

When the Jurchen cavalry rushed one hundred and fifty steps away, they began to draw their bows.

The Guards officer ordered: "The first row aims at the enemy."

The first platoon of the Guards held the muskets and aimed them forward.

Soon the Jurchen cavalry began to set their bows and arrows, and the Guards officer waved his sword and said: "Let go."

The first row of firecrackers fired, and smoke filled the air.

The order sounded again: "Second row, step forward, release" "Third row, step forward, release" After the smoke dissipated, only a few dozen Jurchen cavalry were left wandering in front.

The Guards had already loaded their bullets, and the officer pointed his sword forward: "Let go" and shot down a dozen more riders.

At this time, the Jurchen cavalry fled backwards as if waking up from a dream.

Lin Bulu, the leader of the Ye He tribe, stepped forward and said, "Sir, can you let the Ye He tribe clean the battlefield?"

The officer nodded.

Lin Bulu waved his hand, and more than a hundred Yehe tribe soldiers ran forward with broadswords.

The officer pointed his sword forward again, and the Guardsman raised the musket and pointed it at the Ye He soldiers in front.

Lin Bulu seemed unaware, rushed to the front of the formation, chopped off the head of a screaming cavalryman with a knife, then raised his braid high and turned around.

The officer then lowered the tip of his sword, and the Guardsman also lowered the muzzle of his blunderbuss, but did not take it back.

Lin Bulu led the Yehe tribe to kill all the Houjin cavalry waiting to die, beheaded them, collected the horses that had not escaped, and then led the horses and heads back to the Guards formation. .

The Guards officer put his sword into its scabbard, patted Lin Bulu hard on the back and said, "We are together."

Lin Bulu bowed slightly and said, "This is Ye He's honor."

The Guards saluted him and said, "You have earned this yourself.

It is an honor for us, the Guards of the Ming Dynasty, to be able to fight together with the Yehe people."

Seeing this scene, the other three Jurchen tribes in Haixi were all excited.

Even some of the Jianzhou Jurchens who had surrendered had some thoughts.

Maybe surrendering to the Ming Dynasty was not a wrong decision.

The Guards slowly retreated two miles away and began to set up camp.

Some staff members thought that we should retreat a little, such as setting up camp five miles away, but Lu Xiangsheng refused: "Now is the time to see who is tougher.

Jiannu has lost his spirit and dare not launch an attack at night.

Besides, let's position the artillery.

They only come to die."

Now the proportion of night blindness among the Guards has decreased sharply.

Of course, this is closely related to the addition of corn to the grain.

Therefore, in a night attack, the Guards have a huge advantage.

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to give the people in the city a sense of oppression, so he insisted on camping close to Liaoyang.

He believed that Nurhachi could not just give in, and there would be a fierce battle under Liaoyang City.

Therefore, Mangui's fifth division was only one day's journey away from him, and should be able to arrive and camp twenty miles behind him before dark.

When patrolling the camp at night, the staff reported that the Fifth Division had stopped twenty miles behind.

He felt relieved and asked the signal soldier to send a letter to Mangui.

At this time, in Liaoyang City, there was already a huge quarrel between Houjin and Baylor.

To show his calmness, Nurhachi did not come out to participate, but just let them discuss it first.

Without the old slave in charge, these monkeys began to quarrel without any scruples.

They are mainly divided into two factions.

One faction is represented by Daishan, who wants to withdraw from Liaoshen and return to Hetuala to recuperate before trying to fight the Ming Dynasty.

The other faction, represented by Amin, stated that they would first severely punish the Guards outside the city, and then use Jin's troops to deal with the more than 8,000 Ming troops outside the city.

Although the weapons were very different, human sea tactics could always be used.

Annihilate them all.

Daishan sneered: "You don't think they don't have reinforcements behind them, do you?

If another eight thousand people come, do you think we can defeat them with the human sea tactic?"

Amin said: "Mingren's weapons are suitable for long-range attacks.

As long as they get close, they will be vulnerable."

Daishan smiled and said: "When you were at Yunyang Fort, why didn't you approach them and fight them.

You have a large number of people with blue flags, and you can completely wipe out the Guards with human sea tactics."

Amin was so angry that he could only retreat in the battle of Yunyang Castle and finally lost the castle, which has always been a thorn in his heart.

Now Daishan stabbed this thorn hard into his heart again.

He shouted: "Do you want the Jurchen heroes to retreat without a fight?"

Yue Tuo said unhurriedly: "If you can't defeat the Ming army with your roar, why bother?

It's more important to find a way."

When Dai Shan saw that his son, who had never been close to him, actually helped him, he was very excited and said: "Yes, if you don't want to retreat, then find a way to defeat the Ming army.

If you win, you will have everything. " Amin was about to collapse.

Now Hou Jinbing's stomach was barely hungry, but definitely not full.

Such an army would have no hope of defeating the Ming army.

But he was unwilling to leave without a fight.

At this time, Mang Gurtai said: "Second brother's idea is naturally sound.

But if we retreat this time, the consequences will be more serious than if we lose.

I am a rough man, I only know that we If we retreat without fighting, the entire tribe will be disheartened.

If we encounter the first Ming army in the future, The first thought was to escape.

Why did we advance all the way after Sarhu, and most of the Ming troops we encountered turned away?

It was because they were afraid of us and their hearts were broken.

We are now returning to Hetuala, and then I will.

The combat effectiveness of the Dajin soldiers was even worse than that of the Ming army after Saerhu."

At this time, a voice sounded: "Although Lao Wu is rough, what he said is extremely reasonable."

I saw Nurhachi slowly walking in from outside.

Everyone hurriedly saluted, Nurhachi waved his hand, walked to his seat and sat down.

"That day when I rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, it was not actually because of the so-called seven hatreds.

Those were just excuses.

The real reason was that I was unwilling to accept it.

Why could the Ming Dynasty decide the affairs of our Jurchens?

Why could we Jurchens only become the people of the Ming Dynasty?

The lackeys are not the lackeys of the Ming Emperor, but just the lackeys of Li Chengliang.”

"I want the Ming people to be our lackeys.

I want the fertile land of Liaodong, not the barren land outside the border wall.

I want the officials of the Ming Dynasty to kneel down in front of our horses and beg for mercy, and put on a picture that I once put on.

The flattering face showed that the people of Ming Dynasty knew that I, Nurhachi, was not the lackey of Ming Dynasty.

It was with this unwillingness that we rushed out of the mountains and captured Liaochen and Guangning
