Chapter 266(1/2)
: In such a war, there is no moral integrity
In fact, we can't blame the local chieftains, because Zhu Gaoxu's army is very fast. Whenever he arrives at a place, he first blocks the gates of the county and prefectures, so that he will not send messages, and then discuss cooperation with the local chieftains.
He values both kindness and power, and there are benefits for everyone, so everyone is naturally willing to cooperate with the King of Han.
It was just dawn, and two hundred steps outside the three gates of Nanning Prefecture, a large number of chieftain soldiers were digging soil to build walls.
Zhu Gaoxu learned this trick from the Later Jin Dynasty. In the late Ming and late Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji learned to dig ditches and build walls when he was fighting Jinzhou, which made the Jinzhou encirclement not open. The Ming army could not come out at all, so he could only guard until the food was exhausted.
There are a lot of casualties in the siege now. Nanning Prefecture has the largest Nanning Guard in Guangxi, with more than 10,000 troops stationed, so Zhu Gaoxu came up and blocked the door first, and then built a large-scale construction outside the city, digging trenches and building walls, and first ensured that Nanning Guard was one.
A horse, no soldier can run out.
Nanning Wei participated in the entire Jingnan period, and many veterans must find ways to incorporate them.
"Cao" Tan Qing looked at the busy chieftain soldiers and immediately shouted: "We can't let them dig any more, gather them, gather their troops."
The soldiers gathered quickly in the city.
At this time, Tan Qing knew that he was no longer considering fighting back at Hengzhou's elephant guards, but rather considering breaking through and running for life.
Tan Qing looked up unwillingly. A further distance, the local soldiers were slowly moving towards this side.
He grinned and shouted fiercely, and the government army began to speed up and ran away.
Tan Qing knew that something was wrong. During the Jing Dynasty, there were many things that Yan army had to use surrendered generals to open the city gate. He could not let Jin Rong continue to call this.
Tan Qing also thought that it was all mountain roads from Yunnan, which was very difficult to walk. It was normal for the Han King's soldiers and infantry to come from here, and it was unlikely that there would be cavalry.
In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, Tan Qing was not allowed to discover it.
Because people with a little brain will also think that there must be something wrong with the other party using two infantry phalanxes on the left and right sides and leaving a hole in the middle.
There are already a small number of ditches and walls on the ground, but the ditches are still shallow and the walls are still short.
The key is that Tan Qing is ready to organize all the troops to break through, and there are not many people on the city wall at this time.
There are no important tools in this era and time is limited, so the depth of iron rod nailing to the ground is limited and it is not bumped.
The first five rows were full of spearmen. According to Zhu Gaoxu's method, the one built was twenty centimeters longer than the spears of the Ming army.
Tan Qing's face turned pale and was about to say something when someone shouted to him on the wall.
The soldiers around him quickly took the arrows, but Jin Rong was circling around the city wall. It was not easy for infantry to chase him, and it was not easy to shoot him.
It is very unreasonable for cavalry to rush into such an insurgent formation.
"Come on." Tan Qing didn't care about the ditch on the ground and ordered a charge.
At this time, their entire army had a total of twenty rows, each of which was about eighty.
He rode more than two thousand like a giant dragon, and was madly drilling into the middle hole.
There were only more than 1,000 local soldiers in the northeast, and the leader was Nachuan.
Or, he can't wait any longer.
Tan Qing's cavalry probably damaged hundreds of cavalry, and most of them rushed over.
Some people flew out dozens of steps away, and when they fell to the ground, their internal organs were broken.
"Shameless." Tan Qing cursed, "Who is so unfair to war, the King of Han is simply inferior to a pig or a dog."
The reason why he decided to break through was that he didn't see the cavalry of the anti-rebel army just now.
The chieftain soldiers were densely packed together, with spears in front, with muzzles facing forty-five degrees to the outside, like hedgehogs.
Tan Qing gathered all the troops and raided in three gates. There were only three thousand cavalrymen in the city, and he concentrated all three thousand cavalry at the north gate.
"Let's go, rush out." Tan Qing gritted his teeth and decided not to get involved with these local soldiers, or to escape first.
Before Tan Qing's cavalry gathered, suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves outside, and then more than a hundred arrows shot into the city from all directions of Nanning City.
Outside Nanning Prefecture is Yujiang. The river surface is full of ships from the local chieftain Huang family, who are unloading some of the supplies and cannons from the anti-rebellion army.
The anti-rebellion army had at least tens of thousands of people on the northern city gate, with seven or eight square formations.
The longer Tan Qing drags on, the more likely he is to be surrounded by these seven or eight square formations, and he will be unable to fly.
The military used two iron rods to nail them to the ground, connecting ropes at both ends.
This infantry spear array is currently the best way to deal with cavalry.
There were only a few thousand chieftain soldiers on the opposite side. When they saw the official army rushing out, they retreated one after another and avoided them.
"Wow" a war horse screamed in pain, plopped, and hit the ground with people and horses.
He also said that after breaking through, the troops retreated to Guilin and gathered in Guilin.
But many people didn't have time to surrender, and some didn't even see it. The rumbling of the cavalry rushed up and then flew up one by one.
At this time, he could choose not to walk through the middle hole and bypass the infantry phalanx from a distance.
Zhu Gaoxu's manifesto basically wrote down all the evil things that Zhu Di did and did not do, including the battle of the Nanning Guard under Zhending City. It is said that after the war, Zhu Di forced himself to surrender to the Nanning Guard, and killed those who did not surrender and cut them directly.
Head, many brothers from Nanning Wei died tragically.
There is about 150 steps in the middle of the two square arrays opposite.
The anti-rebellion army each had a square formation on their left and right, with about one or two thousand people in each square formation. He chose a square formation in the northeast direction to fight.
As soon as Tan Qing left, the rest of the city became in trouble. Some wanted to surrender and some wanted to rush. After a while, all three doors in the city were opened, and the chaotic officials rushed out one after another.
After rushing over, I saw two square arrays on both sides in front.
The manifesto that followed the arrow shot in quickly came to Tan Qing's hands.
But now he doesn't care about others and just thinks about how to escape.
But he issued an order last night. Early this morning, the troops and the soldiers of the Martial Arts and the Elephant Temperor Guards will fight back against Li Yuan in Hengzhou, which will definitely be even worse by then.
When Jin Rong was the commander of Nanning Guard, he had a good reputation. In the Battle of Zhending, he was also desperate to be killed. Many old subordinates of Nanning Guard in the city were there.
After he got up to the wall, he found that the former commander of Nanning Guard Jin Rong was riding a horse around Nanning City. He shouted while turning: "Brothers of Nanning Guard, I am Jin Rong, I have surrendered, follow the King of Han to challenge the rebellion.
Evil, avenge the brothers who died tragically in Nanning Guard and kill Zhu Di-"
The forward thrust directly stepped into the ditch and fell down with a loud bang. Then, thump, rows of cavalry fell to the ground.
But most of the guns still have to go along the waterway to Guilin, so only ten guns were removed this time.
But as he got closer, his face suddenly changed drastically.
I saw a large number of tripping ropes lying across the ground in front of me.
Arrived on the ship again and transported to Nanning Mansion.
But even though it was not hit, it was very scary after being placed on the ground. The cavalry were furious when they saw it.
Wang Shengxia immediately followed: "General, don't rush, go."
"Let's go, let's rush through the north gate."
But more cavalry rushed out.
Nachuan followed Zhu Gaoxu to fight Annan, and the formation and fighting style were also based on Zhu Gaoxu's.
But Tan Qing didn't have time to think too much, and he saw more square formations leaning towards this side in the distance. If he circled in the distance, he might be blocked by other square formations.
Zhu Gaoxu's cannon first boarded the boat from the chieftain of Cen in Tianzhou, went down to Youjiang, Long'an County, and took land, dragged it by men, and then bypassed Hejiang Town.
But he himself forgot that fighting requires brains. Who said that if you don’t see a cavalry, you don’t have a cavalry?
After saying that, he ignored them and rumbling, rushing out with more than two thousand riders.
Every twenty steps, crisscrossing, densely packed, everywhere.
But Tan Qing had no choice, either walking in the middle, there would be a stumbler or going around in the distance, but there were more square formations in the distance.
Tan Qing rushed out of the north gate first and saw the chieftain soldiers digging holes from afar: "Run, kill them all."
Just now, the toasts were digging a trench in front. They were too far away and could not see anyone behind them nailing iron rods on the ground and using tripping ropes.
Tan Qing turned over the horse, and Wang Shengxia quickly followed. After he got on the horse, he immediately ordered that no matter how many infantry and cavalry the various departments had assembled, he rushed out immediately.
In fact, if he ignored the casualties and let the cavalry continue to rush forward, the tripping rope in front would soon be exhausted, because basically, the horse would fall and the tripping rope would be useless if it hit.
Although Tan Qing was illiterate, his subordinates had some literate words. After reading it to him, his face changed drastically. After a while, almost everyone in the city knew the content of the manifesto, and the soldiers of Nanning Guard also talked about it.
I have never used this kind of despicable thing in the Ming Dynasty.
"Shoot him, shoot him with an arrow, what are you waiting for?" Tan Qing shouted in anger.
Swhoosh, Xixi Luoluo's arrow did not hit Jin Rong. Many soldiers may know Jin Rong. Jin Rong was originally in seventy or eighty steps, but when he saw that the arrow was not accurate, he became more and more courageous.
He ran closer and closer, and finally almost ran to the city and shouted.
If more local soldiers and gun formations were allowed to come to the scene, they would really not be able to escape.
Tan Qing led more than two thousand cavalry to rush out from the north gate.
Tan Qing no longer planned to defend the city, so there were very few soldiers and horses on the city wall, and no one cared about it. He watched the anti-rebel army approach the city wall and then shot arrows in.
After Tan Qing ran closer, he obviously saw a few shallow ditches about twenty inches ahead. He thought, fortunately I broke through quickly, which made the local soldiers dig for another day and a half, and the cavalry could not get out.
