readxThe helmets are bright, the hoofbeats are like thunder, the blue flags, Heshuo Baylor, Gushan Ezhen flags flutter in the wind, the flags of Meile Ezhen, Jia Le Ezhen and Niulu Ezhen respond, and the cavalry brigade They marched towards Lushun at a trot.
One person and two horses were traveling very fast.
Two elite soldiers from Niulu in front of the brigade fought fiercely with the Ming army all night long, clearing the way for the brigade, shielding their own intentions and minimizing the reaction time of the Ming army.
Mang Gurtai was riding on his big black horse, rising and falling with the running of the horse.
Looking around, Mang Gurtai was very proud.
The army was winding and galloping like a giant dragon, with momentum like a rainbow.
These are Lord Benbeile's elite soldiers of the True Blue Flag.
No Nikan team can match them.
Itai'a is seventeen years old this year.
He is the eldest son of Zhenglan Banner, Niulu Elu, Zhen Elu.
This year, he went to the Ming Dynasty for the first time.
Itai'a was riding happily on the horse in armor, looking at the back of his father Elu, and looking around.
The men and horses said, "Well, I hope to plunder a few more Nikans and grab more gold and silver."
One-half of the village's flag men went out to fight, and everyone turned out to Yue, fighting Nikan means the opportunity to seize gold, silver, and clothe slaves.
It is not Zhang Jing's son who is afraid that he will not get this quota.
Before Liao and Shen, he was still in his hometown, with not many acres of land at home, and the harvest was poor and quite difficult. , after the fall of Liao Dynasty, more than ten Nikans were robbed from the family, hundreds of gold and silver were obtained, and hundreds of acres of land in Haizhou were allocated.
It was a blessing from heaven.
Last year, he began to go on expeditions with his father, attacking Fuzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, and was promoted from Yu Ding to Ma Jia.
Itaia looked at Fa Xiaojilu, who was devoted to riding a horse next to him.
The two of them bet five taels of silver to see who could kill Nikando and steal more gold and silver.
Giroud, who was wearing leather armor, saw Itea looking at him from the corner of his eye, so he looked at Itea and curled his lips in dissatisfaction to see who could win, who could win.
The piebald horses led hundreds of households in the Ming Dynasty, and the Lushun infantry battalion cavalry wiped the sweat of General Liu Guang.
"Sir, we can't break in.
There are too many slaves.
What should we do?"
Wang San, a small flag man on the other horse, said.
Wang San's helmet was crooked and he was covered in sweat.
There was a heavy weapon stuck in the cotton armor on his left arm.
Fortunately, the arrow only broke the skin and was not serious.
"Wait a moment," Liu Guang replied with a frown as he looked at the large cloud of dust rising in the distance ahead.
Two riders came quickly from the side, "Sir, you can see from the hill that there is dust for several miles behind.
It must be the Mang Gurtai brigade."
Two small flags reported.
"Order the whole team to return to the army."
All you need to know is that it is the Mang Gurtai Brigade.
Although Liu Guang has a blood feud with the Tatars, and only he and his younger brother Liu Guang survive in Liu Guang's family, he will not use his arms as a chariot and lose his life. , "Wang San, return to Lushun as soon as possible and report to the Lord."
After a while, Liu Guang led Ye Bushou, who had only about twenty riders left, southward.
Zhang Pan received Ye Bushou's reply.
After some thought, he realized that Jiannu would arrive in Lushun in less than an hour, and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat to Nancheng.
There was no other way.
The expected reinforcements had not yet set off from Dengzhou.
Who told Mao Shuai to At odds with Governor Wu and General Yang, the more than 4,000 people now divided into two cities were only enough to stand on the city wall and there was no reserve army.
Otherwise, the two cities would be horns against each other, which would be enough to create a headache for slaves.
Nancheng is an important place for military supplies warehouses, soldiers, supplies, and shipping terminals.
There is no room for loss.

The soldiers in Shunbeicheng were shouting and making a mess.
The thousands of Liao people who were left behind after a day and night of rushing to transport goods were even more crying and shouting.
They were wandering around the dock like headless flies.
The soldiers suppressed them for a while before the remaining people were allowed to leave.
Restore discipline.
The soldiers forced thousands of people to enter the southern dock of Nancheng.
At this time, Zhao Haiming, Zhao Lie, Huang Tieshan, Yu Fu and other captains were discussing matters on the Fuhai.
Chaotic noises were heard, and everyone came out of the cabin to the deck, looking at Lushun, speechless for a moment.
Zhao Lie stood on the bow of the ship, looking out at the city, feeling slightly nervous.
Although he had made sufficient preparations in the past two days, the soldiers had gone ashore to set up their positions, and all the warships with French cannons had also approached the west of the city.
However, after all, this era was the most dangerous in East Asia.
A strong army was coming, and a big battle was imminent.
As a newbie in the battlefield, he felt anxious.
Zhao Haiming turned around and looked at everyone, "Everyone, please handle your affairs as agreed upon.
The blood feud between us and the old slave will be revealed today."
Everyone agreed with a roar.
Return to the ship in turn.
Zhao Haiming looked at Zhao Lie and patted him, "Don't be brave, the first thing is to protect yourself."
Zhao Lie's eyes turned red and he knelt down, "My child knows that father, please take care of yourself."
Zhao Lie stood up and got off the boat resolutely.
Zhao Haiming hesitated and sighed, watching Zhao Lie disappear from the side of the boat.
The ships of the Weihai Navy weighed anchor and moved closer to the shore to protect the Nancheng Pier and thousands of Liao residents.
Ships returned from the twin islands at all times to transport refugees.
Under the noon sun, the small city in the distance gradually grew larger.
Three miles away from the city, the entire army was assembled.
The vanguard flew quickly to report to Mang Gurtai, "The North City is empty."
Mang Gurtai laughed loudly: "Zhang Pan, a cowardless fellow, is just a turtle with a shrunken head.
Enter the city."
Mang Gurtai, several Meile Ezhen, Jia Le Ezhen and their guards entered the North City.
They saw that the city was empty, items were discarded all over the ground, and it was a mess.
Mang Gurtai was even more delighted when he saw this embarrassing scene.
Without the experience of the Jianzhou Jurchens being bullied by the Ming Dynasty and other Jurchen tribes more than ten years ago, it is difficult to understand Mang Gurtai's desire for revenge at this time.
After leaving the south gate of the north city, the south city appeared in front of us.
The south city was as small as the north city.
They were cities rather than fortresses.
The north walls of the south city were filled with Ming soldiers.
There were very few iron armors, mostly leather armors and cotton.
A, are there many more?
There is armor, which makes Mang Gurtai very emotional.
Once upon a time, the Jin Army's armor was not even as good as the current Ming Army.
However, with the Liaodong Ming Army's transportation brigade, these are not a problem.
If you don't have guns or armor, the Ming Army will make them for you.
No one The Ming army will send it to you.
Zhang Pan stood at the top of the city and watched the Zhenglan Banner Brigade spread out between the two cities.
All the flagmen were wearing armor, most of them iron armor.

People were shouting and neighing, which was very flamboyant.
Zhang Pan secretly hated it in his heart.
The more the soldiers fought, the stronger they became.
After occupying central Liao for several years, the population, acres of land, and money increased greatly, and the soldiers and armor were therefore ready.
Although he was in Jinzhou, Lushun was defeated by Jiannu in a row, but they were confined to Lushun.
They could not even raise troops in the fields.
Reinforcements, food and wages were all in Denglai, but Wu Zhiwang and Yang Guodong were very constrained.
The actual number of soldiers under their command was less than 2,000.
There were still hundreds of Han troops who fled south and returned.
Zhang Pan sighed, it was not a crime of war.
Zhang Pan was not afraid of the slaves, but he could not see the hope of annihilating the slaves and avenging their blood.
"Master Beile, what's going on now, please tell me."
Mele's real Kasik stepped forward and asked.
Mang Gurtai looked at this old man from Jianzhou, the tall and thin Karsik, his direct subordinate, who had followed him all the way to the north and south, and had made outstanding achievements.
"Kasik, you order four Niulus to go straight to Nanguan Pier from east to west, cutting off Lushun's retreat.
Today we are going to catch turtles in a jar."
"Hey," Kasik ordered the two Goshhars to go to the front army to deliver the order.
Zhang Pan carefully looked at Jiannu's military formation, and a doubt arose in his heart.
They were all cavalry, with no infantry, coats, or cannons.
Did Sanbeile, the leader of Jiannu's army, plan to use cavalry to fill trenches and attack the city?
If a fool led the army, Zhang Pan might still believe that Mang Gurtai followed the old slave in the north and south, and his military exploits were stained with the blood of the Ming people and Mongols.
There is no way he could be so imbecile, so that means There must be a backup plan.
What is the backup plan?
The population in southern Liaoning was depleted, and the fields were barren.
It was impossible to provide food to the enemy like in central and western Liaoning.
During the long stalemate, all the food and wages were transferred from central Liaoning, and the slaves could not afford to consume it.
This was why Zhang Pan, Mao Wenlong, and Denglai were beaten. caught off guard The reason for the failure was that everyone thought that after the slaves conquered Jinzhou, they should restore the population and farmland in southern Liaoning before launching a large-scale attack.
Now, they are just attacking a grass valley, harassing the Ming army, and not allowing the Ming army to farm.
They will not go all out.
Siege the city.
However, now it seems that this Sanbeile really wants to win Lushun, so how does he plan to do it?
In other words, there are loopholes in Lushun.
While thinking about it, Zhang Pan and Chengtou Zugao saw that Jiannu's vanguard each separated several hundred men to attack in two directions from the east and west.
Zhang Pan understood that this was to cut off his own retreat.
He understood that Zhang Pan could not stop it, and he could It's good to hold on to the city.
It's impossible to go out to fight in the field.
That's self-destruction.
As for the refugees on the dock, just wish yourself good luck.
The number of people who died during the Liao Shen is no less than the thousands of people now.
As for the water divisions on the wharf, can they go ashore?
Even if they go ashore, the Jiannu cavalry, which cannot even fight in the field with the Denglai camp, has some courage, but was directly ignored by Zhang Pan.
Denglai Army, hum. . .
"Brother Zhu," Zhang Pan looked at Zhu Guochang, "The southern city wall is low.
I'm afraid I might lose something.
Please lead people to reinforce Nanguan.

Please do everything."
"Sir, don't worry.
As long as I'm here, there will be Nanguan."
The short and stout Zhu Guochang responded loudly with his fists clasped and his eyes bright.
Of course Zhang Pan can rest assured.
Lao Zhu and the Tatars also have a blood feud.
Most of the family members were killed by Jiannu.
This is a good opportunity for revenge.
Zhang Pan watched Zhu Guochang heading towards Nancheng with dozens of his trusted servants.
Looking at the blue sky, maybe Lushun could be conquered by Jian Nu, but only if enough Jian Nu blood was shed
