Chapter 219: The Fall of the Famous General


Mang Gurtai saw the enemy rear formation flags fluttering and the sound of horse hooves ringing in unison.

He understood that the most powerful servant of the Ming army general he had been paying attention to was out of the battle.

He turned around and looked at his brother Degerei beside him, " Let’s go.”

The stubby Degelei silently urged his horse to move forward.

With dozens of Goshiha's retinue beside him, Degelei led hundreds of cavalrymen composed of three-banner bagaras and advanced towards the Ming army's formation. , this is the strongest force of the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers.

Each Bagala is experienced in hundreds of battles.

It is a gift prepared by Mang Gurtai for his old rival Zhao Lute.

Zhao led the army to stay in the rear of the Jia Ding army.

As the Jia Ding army galloped forward, he understood that this was a dangerous trip.

Every military general will have an army ready just in case.

The hundreds of servants under his command are all selected from the Liao soldiers who have experienced many battles.

Of course, compared with the combat power of Jiannujia soldiers on horseback, it is still far behind.

It's just that as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan in Liao Town, he has his own dignity.

He would rather die on the battlefield than live in infamy like Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng and Shi Tingzhu.

The troops of the servants split open the scattered Ming army formation and rushed towards the Jiannu army formation.

Many scattered Ming troops followed them actively.

They knew whether they could break out of the formation and did it in one fell swoop.

The three-eyed muskets exploded one after another.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of projectiles were fired at the Jiannu opposite.

Nearly a hundred Jiannu soldiers fell off their horses.

The servants in the front row roared and rushed towards the enemy formation waving the empty three-eyed guns.

The servants His fighting power is quite impressive.

When the crowd was on their backs, more than half of the servants broke out of the formation, and hundreds of stragglers behind them also broke out of the encirclement.

The soldiers cheered wildly and clapped their horses forward.

Unfortunately, the joy was short-lived.

Soon the horses' hooves on the opposite side were like thunder, and hundreds of Jiajian slaves came to kill them.

"Brothers, success or failure depends on this one move, follow me to kill."

Zhao Zhijiao shouted, and the Ming army mustered up their courage and rushed towards the enemy.

At a distance of dozens of steps, the two sides exchanged bows and arrows, and Zhao Shujiao's right chest went numb.

A heavy arrow penetrated the armor and penetrated into the armor.

Zhao Shujiao coughed loudly and vomited blood from his mouth.

He broke the arrow shaft with all his strength and insisted on urging the horse forward.

"Master, you are injured."

Tang Yuan said anxiously beside him.

"Come over and talk."

Zhao Shujiao shouted with difficulty, blood foam flowing from the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

The two armies collided, and Zhao led the guards in front to stab an armored soldier with a spear.

He let go of his spear and drew his saber.

At this moment, an armored soldier galloping up from behind swung his mace and shattered the guard's head.

The guard fell off his horse.

Before the armored soldier could retract his mace, Zhao led his teacher's Yanling Saber to slash down diagonally.

His neck protector was cut open, almost cutting off his head, and the armored soldier fell off his horse with a scream.

Before Zhao Shujiao could retract his saber, a spear pierced his chest.

Zhao led the teacher back to block the spear with his sword, but after all, he was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced.

He only blocked the spear by half a foot, but it still penetrated into his right shoulder.

Zhao Shujiao was thrown sideways and almost fell off his horse.

A servant next to him knocked the armored soldier off his horse with a stick, and he himself was pierced by the enemy's gun.

Zhao Shujiao lost too much blood and fell into a semi-conscious state.

Tang Yuan, the old guard beside him, supported him with his hands, and then he reluctantly moved forward.

After Tang Yuan was killed by an armored soldier, Zhao Shujiao fell off his horse.

He fell into a coma and never woke up.

Only twenty or thirty cavalry broke through the encirclement.

Among them was the flag of the general army, which was waved forward in the wind in the hands of a giant man.

This made Mang Gurtai angry.

He personally led a hundred guards to rush towards the Ming army and hacked these Ming soldiers off their horses.

At this time, the corpses of men and horses spread for several miles were displayed in front of everyone.

There are only sporadic battles left here, and the surrounding crows are croaking and circling in the air, waiting for the feast to arrive.

A doomsday scene.

Many people in the Han army were stunned at the scene in front of them.

As farmers, they had never seen such a tragic and tragic post-war scene.

Mang Gurtai waved his hand, and the Han troops walked towards the battlefield.

It was time for them to start work, and cleaning the battlefield was also their job.

Lu You walked numbly into the slaughterhouse, his boots soaked with blood.

He stretched out his hands to peel off the iron armor from a dead Ming army corpse.

The slaves who built cotton armor and leather armor didn't care.

They only focused on the iron armor, which had to be gathered up.

Fang Ximen took a fancy to the Yanling sword of a Ming army general.

At first glance, it was a good sword with a cold steel mouth.

He drew the sword hard.

The dead Ming army general held the long sword tightly in his hand.

Fang Ximen He pulled out the sword and cut off the general's finger, then pulled out the sword.

Lu You looked at the bun on the corpse in front of him in a daze.

He remembered how his mother had styled his bun since he was a child.

It felt like a lifetime ago.

He now had rat braids on the back of his head and was too embarrassed to see his ancestors.

There was a snap, and Lu You felt pain all over his body.

A Jiannu bannerman who oversaw the work glared at Lu You angrily, with his hand on his waist knife and a look of evil on his face.

Lu You hurriedly continued to look for the money on Ming Jun's body.

Qiding snorted, turned and left.

Lu You broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that he had just escaped with his life, and Jiannu was killing Han people at will.

The famous Ming Dynasty city guard general Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Liao Town, did not teach in the field battle.

The reason was that Zhu Guoyan, who was also the commander-in-chief, did not allow reinforcements to enter the city.

Of course, the governor of Zunhua also contributed a lot.

It is as simple as that, and it is so absurd.

On the second day, the right-wing army of Yue Tuojierharang and the left-wing army of Manggurtai Azig joined forces at Santun Camp.

The Jiannu soldiers all over the mountains and plains caused thousands of soldiers in Ji Town, who had not experienced war for a long time, to suffer from liver and gallbladder injuries.

The heads of the Liao Town reinforcements Zhao led and the following generals were displayed in front of the city, which made Zhu Guoyan terrified.

Of course he knew the bravery of the soldiers in Liao Town.

Even the famous general Zhao Shujiao had his head missing, which frightened him.

At the same time, he also knew that he was doomed.

After all, the reason why Zhao Shujiao died in the battle was because he did not let Liao Shujiao.

The reinforcements had entered the city.

This alone was at least a crime for him to leave his post pending reconnaissance, and the crime of losing the defense line was even worse.

Now the only way to save himself was to hold on to the Santun camp and rebuild the slaves.

However, Zhu Zongbing soon discovered that he was not Zhao Lingjiao.

The Santun Camp he was guarding was a majestic city built by Lord Qi back then.

However, his subordinates were in turmoil.

Some resisted and some planned to surrender before fighting. chaos.

Wang Yuanya, the confident governor of Zunhua, was also overwhelmed.

He had no idea that tens of thousands of Jiannu troops would gather at Zunhua City.

Instead of harassing 12,000 or 20,000 people, tens of thousands of Jiannu troops would besiege Ji Town.

At this point, He regretted greatly and should not have let go of the reinforcements from Liao Town.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

There was no suitable candidate to take charge of the defense in the city.

Rolling logs and stones were just a small reserve.

There were only a few thousand soldiers in the city.

The others were all young and strong people, but they were all fledglings who had not experienced battles.

Building slaves to siege the city is still the old method.

Under the supervision of Huang Taiji, tens of thousands of Ming people were driven to attack the city.

Their role was to consume Zunhua's city defense supplies.

A cruel scene was staged again in Zunhua.

Tens of thousands of Ming people all fell under the walls of Zunhua City under the attack of the defenders' bows and arrows and rolling logs and rocks.

As a result, most of the baggage of the city defenders was consumed, and the people in Zunhua City were confused.

On the second day, when Jiannu attacked the city with all his strength, the defenders resisted weakly, and some even opened the city gates and surrendered to the enemy.

The city of Zunhua fell, and the governor Wang Yuanya committed suicide.

Jiannu entered the city and raped and plundered wantonly.

This was the largest city they had conquered since Jiannu invaded.

Of course, Jiannu's beast soldiers spared no effort and used all their strength to make Zunhua become a hell on earth.

On the sixth day of November, when the Jiannu army attacked the mountain camp, Zhu Guoyan knew that he was absolutely unlucky.

As a second-grade general soldier and a high official of the country.

He still maintained the most basic integrity.

He led his soldiers to fight to the death, and even killed several timid generals.

The first thing they faced was the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After most of the arrows in the city were consumed, Jiannu began to attack the city.

Thousands of Jizhen soldiers in the city tried their best to repel Jiannu's attack.

Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye knew that tomorrow was probably going to be a disaster.

It couldn't be defended anymore, so the smart people everywhere in Ming Dynasty appeared again.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, when Jiannu was attacking the city with all his strength, deputy general Zhu Laitong led his subordinates to break through the city gate on the other side and ran away.

Since then, he has disappeared, and Jiannu took the opportunity to attack the city from the city gate.

Zhu Guoyan, who was cheated by his pig teammates, had no choice but to commit suicide with his family and die for his country.

In this way, Ji Town, which was regarded as the northern barrier by the capital, fell.

Due to the weak combat power of the Ming army, Huang Taiji only ordered hundreds of Mongolian and Han soldiers to stay in the two fortified cities.

He didn't care about the way back, and the Jiannu army roared eastward and southward.

When the northern part of Gyeonggi Province was full of wars, reinforcements from all over the Ming Dynasty also moved on hearing the news.

The Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief, Hou Shilu, the Datong Commander-in-Chief, Mangui, Shanxi Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Honggong, the Baoding Commander-in-Chief, Cao Minglei, and others were ordered to order troops to serve the king.

At the same time, a huge fleet entered Shidao, taking out a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry.

Reinforcements from Jeju Town arrived at Shidao under the leadership of Huang Han.

Zhao Lie and his wife Zhao Meng waited at Shidao Pier to greet their elite soldiers.

Under the escort of five Tang-class warships, more than ten merchant ships including Xingkai Lake, Chaohu, Gaoyou Lake, Daming Lake, Hongze Lake and ten new Tang-class warships of 500 tons entered the port one after another.

Down to the Yellow Han Dynasty, Li Hu, Li Lu, Han Jian, Guan Ming, King Haizhou, Qi Wei, Xia Ziwen, Liu Haitao, Shan Ming and other military generals were all dressed in military salutes to pay tribute to Zhao Lie.

"Sir, I am waiting for the four thousand soldiers of the Polu Army to complete their training and prepare their armor.

I will report to you now."

Huang Han said loudly.

"Well, you guys are indeed full of energy, but," Zhao Lie smiled and looked at the soldiers who had just stepped onto the dock and had already put on Ming Dynasty uniforms and were a little sluggish, "the spirits of the soldiers are low."

"Sir, the wind is against us when we come here.

The ship is rocking very hard and many soldiers are seasick.

They will recover after a few days of rest."

Qi Wei said with a smile.

When the words came to this point, Qi Wei, as the commander of the fleet, had no choice but to take the lead.

"Take a rest for two days.

I will inspect the soldiers.

If there is any problem, I will punish you severely."

Zhao Lie said solemnly.

"I will live up to your expectations."

Huang Han and others promised in a loud voice, full of confidence.

"Li Lu, I entrusted the safety of Jeju to you, how could you leave your post without authorization?"

Zhao Lie said sternly.

"Sir, how can our army be without Lao Li in this battle with Jiannu?

Besides, there is also Chief Ma Tao in Jeju."

Li Lu said with saliva on his face.

Everyone else laughed and watched the fun.

"Go and get twenty army sticks first.

You will be fined for half a year.

After this battle, you will be detained for one month."

Zhao Lie will never allow the generals to leave their posts without authorization, and of course he must not hurt the soldiers' determination to fight.

I had to compromise and punish.

"I obey my orders."

After Li Lu's military salute was completed, he went down to be restrained and imprisoned.

"Old Li, be careful with your fat butt, you won't be able to sit firmly on the saddle in the future."

Han Jian said with a smile.

"Go, go, go."

Li Lu rolled his eyes and cursed.

Zhao Lie looked at the fleet with towering masts and dense sails, and his heart was filled with excitement.

His years of hard work had finally yielded fruitful results.

After a day of unloading, more than 3,000 war horses, pack horses, and more than 4,000 soldiers were all disembarked.

The main reason was that unloading the war horses took a lot of time.

All the troops were stationed at the Shidao Old Military Camp Racecourse, and the main force of the Polu Army returned to the place where they were founded. .

To be continued. s: I woke up in the morning and was anxious to update.

I was so confused that I posted the wrong chapter, which resulted in duplicate chapters.
