Chapter 184: The Line of Defense Collapses
After several hours of fighting, although the Jin soldiers once attacked the city, they were finally blocked by the Ming army to the death. A brief tranquility came to the battlefield, but the formation of the Jin soldiers and Mongolian soldiers was still not scattered.
The quiet display is below Zunhua City. The city wall is surrounded by the corpses of soldiers of the two armies. The exchange rate is very ugly. Although the Ming army defends the city, the Jin soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Although they are sieges, they are killed and injured.
The number of people was even smaller than that of the Ming army.
The main force of the siege was the two red flags, and the two blue flags and more than 50,000 other than the Mongolian soldiers of the Aohan tribe of the Naiman tribe, set up defenses around Zunhua City, looking for opportunities to annihilate the living forces around Zunhua City.
During the time, the guerrilla Wang Chunchen and the nearly 10,000 troops of the guerrilla general Zhang Ande were respectively annihilated. The guerrilla general Yi Ai of Hongshankou, and Wang Zunchen led 5,000 troops to help. They were wiped out by two blue flags twenty miles northeast of Zunhua City. Yi,
General Wang Er was shot several arrows and still howled and attacked, and was annihilated.
The Ming general Zhou Zhen heard the sound of cannons in Zunhua City, and led his troops to help, and was also wiped out. Deputy General Yang Guli led his troops to fight fiercely with Mongolian troops in the Malan Camp in northeastern Zunhua. He was outnumbered. Yang Guli led only more than a hundred personal soldiers.
After leaving, the remaining troops died. At this point, the battle surrounding Zunhua City siege and aid was basically over. In less than a day, tens of thousands of cavalry used their high mobility to intersperse back and forth in the northwest and northeast of Zunhua City, gathering and annihilation of the Ming army, often
Thousands of Ming troops encountered tens of thousands of Jianlu cavalry in field battles. The more they fought, the less they were of course twice the result, and there was no reinforcements in Zunhua City.
Wang Yuanya stood at the top of the city with a three-foot sword, quietly looking at the military formation below. Unexpectedly, Jianlu's soldiers were so powerful. No wonder the Ming army started with Sarhu, except for the commander Yuan.
After several beautiful battles, as the governor of Zunhua and the important border area, Wang Yuanya did not know how the Ming army was corrupt, and most of the Ming army on the border were useless.
Thinking about it, a horse rushed out of the Eight Banners Army, rushed to the city with a fast horse, bent his bow and arrow, and a general flag next to him said, "Be careful, Governor!" With a whoosh, a headless arrow shot into the city
The soldier had already brought it to Wang Yuanya. Wang Yuanya took the letter and saw that it was Huang Taiji's handwritten letter. Needless to say, he was going to persuade him to surrender. Wang Yuanya opened it and read: "The reason for my army to fight: I two
The country was always in harmony, but later it was time to overthrow us and became seven hatreds. I told the heaven to conquer it. Heaven did not count the size of the country, so I thought it was the same. Therefore, the place east of Shanhaiguan, Liaodong and Guangning was given to me.
I am still willing to stop the army and share peace, and I have sent people to write to discuss peace.
I and my ministers were like in the sky, and they regarded me like birds and beasts, and did not ask me to write to Shanhaiguan. I hated him deeply. So I strengthened the city, left the elite soldiers, and sent a large army to come. Wherever my soldiers were heading, I enjoyed the west of the peak mouth.
, Da'ankou is east, and any soldiers who resist will be killed. The city that surrendered in the Han'erzhuang area was completely uninvaded, and only took food and grass, and returned with my soldiers and horses. If you surrender now, you will be fame and wealth and honor, and you will share your fame and fortune with them.
. I once heard that good birds picked trees and lived on them, and the heroes moved from time to time. I also knew this. I once rebelled against the people in Liaodong and killed them, and I regretted them very much. Now I am up to the government and renew them, so I don’t need my words.
I also heard that. Since I have sent a large army to come straight, how could I be willing to return halfway? You must quickly surrender."
"Hahaha, the clever words are so sarcastic. Damn Jianlu actually learned to use Chinese language. He is really a monkey-like person. Even if you learn from you, he can't learn to be like you." Wang Yuanya said to himself, tearing the envelope to pieces and then from the top of the city.
After throwing it down, he roared at the city: "Dog Jianlu, you are the barbarians in Liaodong, and you have received the favor of the country in the world. Jianzhou Wei is the territory of our Ming Dynasty. You don't want to serve you, but instead raise an army to invade the superiors and cause rebellion. This is for disloyalty.
My Ming Dynasty is the country of the king and the father, and my king and the father is the king and the father. Since Nurhaci, he has become a country for his own unfilial piety, burning, killing, looting, and slaughtering my border people, but he still turned his back on the black and white saying nothing, and he only took nothing.
Food and grass are for injustice. You were originally slaves of Li Chengliang, Liaodong, General Li, but betrayed the master and launched an attack on the enemy, which was for injustice.
Are you not afraid of the thunderstorm of such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people who want to occupy the territory of the Ming Dynasty and slave my people of the Ming Dynasty?” He said righteously, but fortunately, many Jin and Mongolian soldiers would not listen.
Understand Chinese, but the senior generals such as Huang Taiji and Zhong Beile could hear clearly. Huang Taiji's face turned pale and white. Like Nurhaci, he hated others to take him as the old slave of Li Chengliang. At this time,
Wang Yuanya said this in front of the 100,000 soldiers of the two armies, making him unable to come to Taiwan for a while. His face was gloomy and said to the belle, this person is stubborn and hateful, it's time to kill, don't waste time, attack immediately
After Zunhua, you won’t seal the knife for three hours after the battle. You understand what Ben Khan means.
The whole Beile excitedly spread the Khan's orders throughout the army, and the army immediately re-entered the siege. The Jin soldiers shouted and started a new round of charge, while the guns and cannons in the city sounded again, and the two armies fell into battle.
.
In a corner of Zunhua South City Street, dozens of men in black pulled out their swords and moved quietly towards the south gate. If you look closely, you will find that these people were Mongolians. What's going on?
How could there be a Mongolian soldier in Zunhua City?
Zunhua is a major frontier town facing the Mongolian grasslands in Ji Town. Its area is much larger than that of Santunying and Malanying and other military towns, and its population is much larger. Therefore, the government office of Ji Town Governor is located in Zunhua City and the Great Wall.
Smoke, anyone who can run away in Zunhua City will evacuate before the lockdown. Most of the people who stay in the city are old, weak, women and children. Because of the special geographical location of Zunhua City, the city is not just Han people.
, There are many people of all ethnic groups, especially the horse politics in the Ming Dynasty were corrupt. In addition to obtaining horses from the court, the generals of each town actually smuggled war horses with the grassland to a greater or lesser extent, and of course they would also
Bring it with
Tea bricks, salt and other items urgently needed in the grassland, so there are merchants from various tribes in Zunhua City. Usually, their number is large and often gathers together in groups. Zunhua is a diversified city, so the residents are
It's no wonder that before the war began, some merchants had escaped from Zunhua, and many remained in the city. Originally, Wang Yuanya was planning to concentrate these grassland merchants to prevent them from causing trouble in the city, but
Before the order was issued, Huang Taiji's army had already begun the siege of the city. There were only 8,000 defenders in the city. There was no way, so Wang Yuanya could only let this go in advance.
However, such negligence has caused irreparable consequences. Many of these merchants are seemingly merchants, but in fact they are meticulous works sent by the grassland. Otherwise, the Manchu and Mongolian coalition would not have figured out the military deployment of Jizhen so quickly.
Then choose a few weak points to break through the Great Wall, all of which are due to these detailed investigations.
At this moment, there was a fine work of the Naiman tribe in Zunhua City. The caravan disguised himself as a smuggling horse and reselling salt and iron into Zunhua City. At the time of the melee, the leader of the Naiman tribe, Hongbatulu Feige, sent a letter to the city and informed him that he was notified.
The people in the city set fire inside when they attacked the city. It would be better if they could seize the city gate, but the city gates on all sides were blocked by huge rocks, and even if they seized the city gate, it would be useless.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to set fire in the city to create chaos. When their tribes attacked the city, they worked inside and outside to open a breakthrough on the city wall. Zunhua City was quiet, and every household closed its doors and windows, extremely nervous, afraid of building.
When the enemy attacked the city, some people burned incense and prayed in their own yard.
Fifty men in black held the turbulent oil they hid in the stronghold and splashed it on the houses near the South City. Then the leader, a centurion, ignited several places at the same time, and the fire exploded instantly with the help of the turbulent oil.
The power of the flames soared into the sky, and it could not be extinguished with water. The southern city was in chaos and black smoke rolled.
Gao Ji, who was welcoming the second round of the Naiman tribe on the southern city wall, fought desperately. He was very skilled in martial arts and killed dozens of Mongolian soldiers by himself alone, but more and more Mongolian soldiers climbed the city crazily, gradually
Ming Jun could not resist it anymore. He suddenly heard a huge cry from behind. When he turned around, he widened his eyes incredibly, and saw that the buildings near the South City Gate were all surrounded by the fire, and the residents all came from
Running at home
Come out and gather on the street to shout and run. Some people use water to put out the fire, some people use sand to put out the fire, some old people sit on the street and cry bitterly, the smoke is rolling, and there is chaos. Gao Ji is not careful and is chopped off by a Mongolian soldier.
The middle left arm was deep, and the blood was like a spring. Gao Ji was ruthless and chopped the soldier to death with one knife, then tore off a corner of the battle robe, bandaged the wound roughly, and told the deputy general to defend the city. He took two personal soldiers down the city
Go, want
See what happened, but unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the city, the man in black who was ambushing the darkness of the wall suddenly came out. The two personal soldiers were caught off guard and were stabbed to death. Gao Ji fought hard and picked up the masked man in black.
He found that it was the Northern Lu. He was shocked. There were actually Northern Lu spies in the city, but there was no time to issue an alarm. He was injured and his personal soldiers were killed. He was alone and was not the opponent of fifty soldiers. In a moment,
Killed by random swords and died heroically. The man in black immediately climbed the city to cooperate with the soldiers of the Naiman tribe to open a breakthrough. The soldiers of the Naiman tribe climbed the city on a large scale. More than a thousand Ming troops could not resist it. They were killed one after another. The southern city was lost, and hundreds of great men were
Rushing into the city gate, he moved the huge rock, pushed open the south city gate, and the horse team with red flags had been waiting outside. Yue Tuo personally picked up the sword, and thousands of troops entered the city. In an instant, Zunhua City turned into Shura Hell
.
A soldier stumbled to Wang Yuanya and shouted: "Governor, no, no, General Gao Governor died in battle, Nancheng, Nancheng was lost." Wang Yuanya pulled up his collar and asked loudly: "What did you say
?” Then the sky turned dizzy and sat on the top of the city. The south city was lost. The two red flags attacked inside and outside, killing the Ming army one by one. Huang Taiji promised them not to seal the sword for three hours. They were killing the whole city, everywhere
It was a scream. The old man kneeling on the ground was chopped off his head with a knife, the young woman was dragged out of the wheel camp, and the man was even more mercilessly killed by random knives. Even the young children were chopped by guns and bayonets, and the streets of Zunhua were
It turned into a blood river, and all the spies hidden in the grassland hidden in the city were dispatched, killing Zunhua without hearing the voices.
Wang Yuanya sat on the city wall and looked at the scenes in front of her. She suddenly grew up and pointed to Huang Taiji's direction and shouted: "What's the difference between you and the beast? You will definitely die well in the future. My Ming Dynasty will eventually be destroyed.
Leyou and others, the priest, I have to bear the grace of the holy people. Even if I turn into a ghost, I will kill my slave for my Ming Dynasty.” After that, he shouted three times to kill the slave, jumped down from the top of the city, and sacrificed his life bravely.
On the fourth day of November, Zunhua was lost, and residents of the city were killed. Governor Wang Yuanya and general Gao Ji died in his country. The Jin soldiers did not stop and appeared outside Santun Camp in the early morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, attacking Santun Camp, and breaking the city in less than a day.
Some Ming soldiers surrendered to Jin, and the deputy general Zhu Laitong fled. General Zhu Guoyan hung the name of the deserter in the middle of the street and committed suicide with his wife Zhang. On the seventh day of the lunar month, Santun camp was lost. At this point, Ji
All the towns fell, and the entire Ji Town defense line collapsed completely.
Long before Zunhua fell, a quick horse reported to the capital, and the capital was martial law. Emperor Chongzhen personally signed an order and issued an imperial edict, requiring all the localities of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of camps, garrisons, militias, rebels, and those who heard the imperial edict would raise troops to defend the king.
There was an error. The edict of the king was spread to all parts of the country in an urgent manner of eight hundred miles. One general who received the imperial edict immediately set off his troops and went straight to the capital. Of course, there were also those who had two minds who waited and saw and deliberately turned a deaf ear.
