Chapter 765 The old friend

Everyone present hated the traitor Han Run. When they heard Liu Lin's order, they immediately rushed forward. After venting their anger by punching and kicking him, they dragged the half-dead Han Run to the door of the small courtyard.

At this time, Han Run had already lost most of his life. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.

When Liu Lin saw this, he didn't say anything. He drew his sword and stepped forward, stabbing him straight in the chest.

The other generals who had vowed to resist the prisoners also drew their swords in their hands, swarmed forward, and chopped off Han Run, who had been arrogantly asking for bribes half an hour ago, until his arms, legs and legs were completely mutilated beyond recognition.

Later, several of the servants brought by Han Run were also found by some imperial infantrymen who felt proud and turned over from the corner of the small courtyard, and hacked to death one by one on the ground.

In this way, around midnight that night, after Zhang Chen brought Shen Qizhou and Liu Zhiman to Liu Lin, he directly forced Liu Lin to raise his troops without saying a harsh word.

After raising his troops, Liu Lin also changed his previous hesitant behavior. After quickly gathering the 3,000 Chao soldiers in his grain and grass camp, he directly suggested that Zhang Chen send a sentry of musketeers to take a shortcut with them to attack Dinghai. General's Mansion.

Zhang Chen, who was originally a member of the Liaodong frontier army, naturally understood the principle of shooting people first, shooting horses to capture thieves, and capturing the king first. He immediately led a sentry of musketeers and followed Liu Lin's large number of Korean archers to Dinghai. The General's Mansion pounced.

The Chaoren infantry have very poor combat power, but their archers are one of the few bright spots among the Chaoren infantry.

With the sharp firearms equipped by the Ming army musketeers under Zhang Chen, the imperial infantry no longer collapsed at the first touch and fled upon hearing the news.

And with a large number of Korean archers accompanying them, Zhang Chen's musketeers also had safe protection when loading ammunition.

The two sides actually cooperated tacitly and complemented each other in the street fighting that night. They actually killed all the Tatar squads and stragglers they encountered along the way, without encountering any single enemy.

However, when Zhang Chen led the musketeers, he finally used the flying generals he carried to blow up the Manchu Tatars in front of General Dinghai's mansion, blew open the heavy door of General Dinghai's mansion, and led his men to pour in. At that time, Prince Zheng Jierhalang of the Manchu Tatars, under the protection of his Bagala camp, broke through the siege of a large number of Korean archers from the back door of the mansion and fled to the west gate of Zhenjiang Fort City.

Zhang Chen commanded the musketeers under his command, as well as the archers led by Cui Xiaoyi, Che Liliang, and Cai Menheng. After hearing the news, they immediately rushed to the west gate without stopping and pursued it.

The Manchu Tatar soldiers and horses stationed in the Ximen area heard that the city in the direction of Jiangmen in Dongcheng Town was broken, and the Dinghai General's Mansion was lost. The soldiers and horses attacking from outside the city included not only the Koreans, but also Jinhai Town troops. At the same time, there were three thousand Koreans in the city. The infantry had also become internal agents, so in the chaos of the night, they had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.

In this way, Zhang Chen led his musketeers, Cui Xiaoyi, Che Liliang, Cai Menheng's troops, a total of more than 2,000 people, and they fought and charged all the way to the west gate, and took advantage of the momentum to occupy the west gate.

Although they failed to stop Jilharang and Ashley's troops from escaping, they were able to control Ximen in their own hands before the Manchu Tatars, old, weak, women and children from Zhenjiang Castle fled in large numbers.

At the same time, when the news spread that Zhang Chen and others led their troops to attack the Dinghai General's Mansion and occupied the west gate of Zhenjiang Fort, the morale of Yang Zhen's troops immediately rose a lot, and they shouted for the whole city to pursue them.

Kill the men with money rat tails.

Correspondingly, Jingjin Beilenican and Zhishun King Shang Kexi, who were originally stationed on the Zhenjiangmen Urn City, also "exceptionally decisive" led the troops on the city and quickly withdrew north along the city head.

The reason why their performance during the retreat deserves the title of "exceptionally decisive" is because when they were determined to evacuate, there were still more than 800 artillerymen from the Han army camp with blue flags and more than 200 reinforcements in the barbican below.

The armored infantry with the blue flag did not have time to retreat to the city.

The more than 800 Han artillerymen with blue flags were still trying their best to transport heavy artillery to the city.

The more than 200 infantry soldiers with blue flags on the Wengzhou Island were guarding the outer gate of Wengcheng, fully prepared for enemies outside the city to suddenly invade Wengcheng.

These people originally just wanted to hold on until dawn. By then, the cannons were mounted on the city and the river receded. The imperial fleet that was currently bombarding Zhenjiang Fort would become a turtle in the urn.

They did not expect that among the troops attacking the city, there were not only the imperial navy fleet, but also the prestigious firearms camp under Yang Zhen of Jinhai Town.

Not only did they use heavy artillery to continuously bombard the city with only a hundred steps, but they also buried gunpowder barrels in the holes in the city wall created by the heavy artillery bombardment to blow up the city.

In addition, what they did not expect was that the troops of the three dynasties who had just escorted 100,000 shi of rice into Zhenjiang Fort and had completely won the trust of the banner camp in the city would turn against them and rebel at a critical moment.

Of course, what surprised them most, who were in the Wengcheng and were making all-out preparations to annihilate the enemy after dawn, was that Jingjin Baylor and King Zhishun on the city withdrew as soon as they said they wanted to.

No greeting was given.

In the end, when enemies appeared in the city and at the top of the city, those of them in the Wengcheng suddenly discovered that the real ones who became the turtles in the urn turned out to be themselves.

When Yang Zhen, under the escort of Li Shouzhong, led Lin Qingye, An Yingchang and other large numbers of troops, appeared on the Wengcheng of Zhenjiang Gate, the highest officer of the gunners of the Han Army with the Blue Banner in the Wengcheng was the Han Army with the Blue Banner.

Jia La E Zhen Jin Yu Kui also decisively made up his mind to surrender.

"May I ask which general is in charge of the city?"

"Which general is in charge? Haha, you really asked the right person. I am the Ming Dynasty Zuojun Dudufu Zududu Zhengdong General Jin Haibo Yang Zhen!"

"Ah?! Yang——Yang Zhen?!"

"That's right, it's me. I'm as good as I am, I'm an innocent person, hahahaha..."

Facing the people in the urn who had become the turtle in the urn, Yang Zhen was in a very relaxed mood, and his words were also somewhat ridiculing.

This Zhenjiang Fort has only two east and west gates. At this time, the east gate, Zhenjiang Gate, has fallen into his own hands, and the west gate, Tangshan Gate, has also been occupied by the troops led by Zhang Chen.

Correspondingly, just before Yang Zhen entered the city, he had received news from Yuan Jin, Yu Liangtai and others.

Their fleet has docked in the southwest of the Yalu River estuary. Yang Shen and Zhang Guogan have personally led the team to land and are besieging the flag camp and river bank fort in Mao'er Mountain from behind.

Under such circumstances, the overall situation of the surprise attack on Zhenjiang Fort has been decided, and all that remains is how to tie up the end and further expand the results.

But that was all after dawn. Now Yang Zhen was facing a group of people in Wengcheng, just like the cat in the cat-and-mouse game, and he felt particularly relaxed.

"Here, Mr. Yang, Governor Yang, do you still remember the old friend who met the Governor once in the Dragon King Temple near the mouth of Liaohe River in the early summer of last year?"

In the early summer of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Jin Yukui was deceived by Yang Zhen and his party pretending to be Gushan Beizi Boluo. He was whipped in public by Prince Duduo of Heshuoyu who was still alive at the time, and suffered all the humiliation. At that time, his heart

, he already regretted his choice to surrender to the Manchus.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, more than six months ago, when Yang Zhen sent Yu Liangtai to raid Lianyun Island, Jin Yukui misjudged the military situation and strongly advocated that King Zhishun Shang Kexi sent troops back to Lianyun Island to aid Lianyun Island.

and Gaizhou City, which eventually left Xiongyue City empty of troops and was captured by Yang Zhen in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, he not only received an unprecedented cold reception in front of Shang Kexi, but also once again became a joke in the mouths of Shangguan Xianglan Banner and his colleagues in the Han army.

After the entire Han army under Shang Kexi's command in Xianglan Banner moved to the Jiulian City area to build naval warships, the rift between Jin Yukui's command and his colleagues in Xianglan Banner invisibly deepened.

Jin Yukui wanted to be responsible for building warships, but Shang Kexi insisted on letting him be responsible for logging.

Jin Yukui wanted to lead his men back to their old career as navy, but Shang Kexi decided to let him lead his men to become gunners instead.

Including the selection of gunners to go out with the army this time, Jin Yukui's favorite concubine was about to give birth. He didn't want to leave home at this time, but was scolded by Shang Kexi, and finally had no choice but to lead the troops south to Zhenjiang Fort.

After arriving at Zhenjiang Fort, because he had been dissatisfied with his change of career as a gunner and neglected to supervise his men in practicing how to use cannons, he made a lot of mistakes in front of Jierhalang and Jingjinbeile and received a lot of scolding.

, I felt even more resentful and resentful.

At this moment, he saw that the city had changed hands, that the situation on his side was over, and that the person coming turned out to be Yang Zhen himself, whom he had met once before. New hope suddenly rose in his heart, and he quickly approached Yang Zhentou as an old friend.

"Old friend?"

What the Manchu Tatar leader or two Tatar leaders in the Wengcheng wearing an arrow helmet and cotton armor said successfully caught Yang Zhen's attention.

"Please get closer to the torch and let me have a closer look. Which of my old friends are you?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Yukui immediately took a torch from his subordinates, then raised his face, lit it up, and showed it to Yang Zhen and others on the urn city.

Yang Zhen looked around and couldn't remember who this person was for a moment, but when he heard him talk about the Dragon King Temple at the mouth of Liaohe River in the early summer of last year, Yang Zhen had to recall it seriously.

"Captain, I remember my humble position."

Yang Zhen was thinking when he heard Li Shouzhong beside him suddenly smiled and whispered: "The two Tatars below are actually the two Tatars who we unexpectedly encountered at the Dragon King Temple at the mouth of Liaohe River.

"At that time, brother Ma Keqing pretended to be a nobleman from the Manchu Tatars, the one we killed in Gaizhou City. His name was Bolo. At that time, the governor pretended to be Bolo's follower and scolded Jin Yukui. The governor forgot

?”

When Li Shouzhong said this, Yang Zhen's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene where he was yelling at Ba Ge Ya Lu in desperation.

"Hahahaha, who is this old friend? It turns out to be him, hahahaha..."
