After occupying Fengning, Zhou Dingshan and Abasha did not waste any time and quickly ordered everyone to set up defenses. In order to defend Fengning City, Zhou Dingshan not only borrowed two hundred artillerymen, but also chopped up a lot of good things from Dai Qimeng. However, Zhou Dingshan did not
I don't plan to use these things now, I have to wait until the situation is the most difficult.
Huang Taiji arrived late with his army. Seeing Fengning City falling into the hands of the Northern Shan Army, he was anxious. He estimated that Tie Mo should have led his army towards Fengning City by now. If Fengning City could not be captured earlier,
Ning, if you return to the east of the Chaoli River, you may really be swallowed up by the Northern Shan army. Tang Gu was eager to fight and led his army to attack Fengning City without waiting for Huang Taiji to make arrangements.
This time, Tang Gu gathered all three thousand soldiers and horses on the west wall of Fengning. Before the battle began, the crowd of people alone was scary enough. Fengning was a small town, so small that Zhou Dingshan almost cursed him.
Looking at this low and thin city wall, Zhou Dingshan felt that it was a miracle that he could hold on to the city for four hours. Abasha also expressed deep concern about this, "General Zhou, the Fengning city wall is too shabby.
We need to think of some ways!”
"General Abasha, you and I can defend the city wall. If we can't defend the city wall, we will retreat to the city immediately. Zhou has already made some preparations in the city. To withstand the Jurchens' violent attack, relying on the city wall will not work.
!" A sharp look flashed in Zhou Dingshan's eyes, and Abasha was very curious as to what arrangements Zhou Dingshan had made to be so confident in letting the Jurchens enter the city.
At this time, some people in Fengning City were also attacked. Dozens of people wearing the uniforms of Jin soldiers chased and killed some people. They were talking in Jurchen dialect, and few people could understand it. But there were always people.
Those who could understand what the Jurchens were saying turned out to be those Jin barbarians who wanted to massacre the people because they didn't help defend the city just now. As a result, the people of Fengning City became angry, and instead of waiting for the Jurchen barbarians to break into the city and massacre the whole city, they
It's better to help the Northern Shanxi Army defend Fengning.
This is Zhou Dingshan's strategy. Following Tie Mo these years, Zhou Dingshan has also learned a lot. The right way is to be kind and not to control the army. In order to defend Fengning, some things are worth doing. Those Jin countries who massacred the people of Fengning
The soldiers were also disguised as the Northern Shan Army in order to arouse the anger of the people in Fengning City.
Tang Gu poured so much troops into his first attack on the city that the small Fengning city wall was on the verge of crumbling. Fortunately, Zhou Dingshan was well prepared and rolled logs and kerosene on top of them. After killing more than a thousand Jurchens, he
Tanggu finally gave the order to retreat.
"Taiji, the Han people in the city are very tenacious. The general suggested that the feint attack should be divided into the north and south, while the main army should attack the west. Fengning City must be captured as soon as possible!" Tang Gugu's suggestion was agreed to by Huang Taiji, because the emperor
Tai Chi has also returned to the time when it is no longer a time to hide your strength. You must use your ability as much as you must.
After resting for half an hour, Huang Taiji once again assembled an army of 20,000 people and launched a fierce attack on Fengning City from three directions. Tang Gugu cooperated with Xiligu and was responsible for the main attack on the west. The small Fengning faced a fierce attack by an army of 20,000 people.
There was no problem with the Northern Shan army, but how could the city wall withstand it? When the first hole was punched out in the west wall, Zhou Dingshan decisively issued a retreat order. Tang Gugu also wondered why the Han people on duty resisted so strongly, why did they come back now?
Could it be a fraud to withdraw so resolutely? Of course there was a fraud. Zhou Dingshan withdrew before the city wall was destroyed in order to leave a generous gift to the Jurchens.
The moment the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom stepped onto the city, Zhou Dingshan also issued an order to set fire. This move was also performed on the walls of Huayin City and Wuzhou City. If it were Minte or Abasha, they would definitely be on guard against this move.
Yes, it's a pity that this was the first time for Jin people to fight against the Northern Shan army. Who knew what was going on here, so a fire broke out and burned the Jin soldiers to pieces. Many people jumped directly from the top of the city.
Fengning City is not tall, but it is also very handsome. Tang Gugu suffered such a big loss and his teeth were itching with anger. But now, in his heart, he can do nothing but curse the Han people for being cunning. Waiting for this city
After the fire was extinguished, Zhou Dingshan also led the people to retreat to the city and organized street fighting. The street fighting skills of the Northern Shanxi Army were also a compulsory course, and the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom knew nothing about street fighting. They were still just like attacking a city, a bunch of people.
Rush towards a place.
This is a dark street that looks extremely narrow. A group of Jin soldiers chased a few soldiers from the Northern Shanxi Army and ran in. When they ran to the middle of the street, a shower of arrows suddenly flew out of the houses on both sides, and a group of Jin soldiers rushed in.
The soldiers immediately suffered heavy casualties, and that was all. Some people in Fengning City also climbed to the roof and smashed objects with them, directly killing nearly a hundred Jin soldiers.
When Tang Gugu arrived with a large group of troops, he took a closer look and found that except for the corpses on the ground, there was not even a human hair. Don't mention Tang Gugu's hatred. After so many years of fighting, this was the first time he encountered such a difficult soldier.
.
This situation is still happening in other places in Fengning City. Although the casualties don't sound like many, there are already more than 5,000 casualties in total. After Huang Taiji got the casualty figures in the street fighting, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Tutu. The small city of Fengning cost him nearly 10,000 troops. This was something he would have never dared to think about before. Continue to play street fighting with the Northern Shanxi Army?
Huang Taiji was not that stupid. He didn’t know what method the Northern Shanxi Army used, but he actually asked the people of Fengning City to fight to the death to help. It was not easy to defeat the Northern Shanxi Army. He frowned and took the plan into consideration. Huang Taiji quickly
He came up with a way. He asked people to find torches, go around to the north and set a fire directly. Now the northwest wind was strong, and the wind helped the fire. In addition, most of the houses in Fengning City had thatched roofs, so the fire quickly
It spread. There was a fire in the city, and Zhou Dingshan's face didn't look very good. He originally wanted to use the people of Fengning City and the street fighting to delay the fire, but he didn't expect Huang Taiji to be so ruthless that he would set fire to the whole city.
What to do now? Countless ideas flashed through Zhou Dingshan’s head, but they were all rejected in the end, because all the ideas had only one result in the end, that is, Fengning City could not be defended. "General Abasha, return to Guangzhou from Fengning City."
Does Ning have to go through the Chaoli River?"
"Yes, General Zhou, what do you mean?" Abasha seems to understand Zhou Dingshan's thoughts. It is no longer realistic to defend Fengning. As the fire spreads, let alone fighting Huang Taiji, he probably can save his life.
It is difficult, so the current plan is to withdraw from Fengning City and organize a second line of defense in the Chaoli River area. It is not impossible to retreat to the Chaoli River. The problem is how to resist the Jin cavalry in an open place?
"Withdraw, although the command given by the Superintendent is to defend Fengning City, the ultimate goal of guarding Fengning is to hold back the Jin army. As long as we push to the Chaoli River to form a front, we can still hold back the Jin barbarians!"
Abasha thought for a moment and agreed to Zhou Dingshan's idea. The two of them had a little argument and led the people of Fengning City to evacuate. It seemed a bit silly to lead the people of Fengning City, but Zhou Dingshan felt that he had to do this.
These common people can help with something, and they can assist in resisting the cavalry when the time comes. Fengning City is not far from the Chaoli River. Zhou Dingshan wanted people to destroy all the bridges on the Chaoli River, so he just asked people to form a bridge on the west bank of the Chaoli River.
Square array.
Some artillerymen of the Northern Shanxi Army touched these things and buried them on the ground. The thing was trailing a long twist of medicine. This was a newly developed landmine by the Northern Shanxi Army. Unfortunately, this kind of landmine could only be ignited by twisting the medicine.
Huang Taiji captured Fengning City just to pull out this nail. The ultimate goal was to push to the east of the Chaoli River to prevent a decisive battle with the Northern Shanxi Army. Huang Taiji was busy retreating, not because he was afraid of the Northern Shanxi Army, but because he did not want to
If you cause more casualties, you may not be able to defeat the Northern Shanxi Army in a fair fight. What's more, the people and horses are now exhausted and morale is low, while the Northern Shanxi Army's morale is high. A decisive battle at this time will not do you any good.
.
The iron cavalry of the Goshawk Army galloped at the front, the horses' hooves were raised, and the dust filled the sky. The momentum was devastating. Zhou Dingshan showed no fear on his face. Although it was difficult to face the cavalry with infantry, it was not that he had never done this before.
But that time they faced the Liao Dynasty cavalry. The heavy shields stood up and the spears stabbed diagonally. The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army carried the shields with their flesh and blood, gradually slowing down the impact speed of the Goshawk Army. Huang Taiji in the distance
His face turned cold when he saw it. With the strength of the Goshawk Army's cavalry, they were unable to cut through the defensive formation of the Northern Shanxi Army. It was really embarrassing. This was cavalry versus infantry. If they still couldn't win, they might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill them.
.
The Goshawk Army was blocked, and the infantry behind wanted to surround them. At this time, there was a sudden sudden change, and a rumbling explosion sounded, just like an earthquake. The war horse was frightened, and directly lifted Huang Taiji off the horse. He got up from the ground, ignoring the injuries on his body.
Injured, Huang Taiji looked at the thick smoke, a little dumbfounded. Many warriors of the Hou Jin Kingdom lay on the ground, wailing, and rolling. A soldier covered his lower abdomen, where his intestines had been dragged out far away, and a soldier's arm exploded
No more, he kept shivering.
Is this the strength of the artillery of the Northern Shanxi Army? Huang Taiji knew that the Northern Shanxi Army had such a mysterious artillery. It was said that this army was the culprit in destroying the Xiguan elite. Huang Taiji was puzzled by this, and Minte also
Even if he is considered a hero in this world, he will be defeated by a large army? But now, Huang Taiji believes that this artillery is really powerful, so powerful that it is unbelievable.
Although the artillery successfully caused a lot of damage to the Jin soldiers, there were still too many Jin soldiers. This series of tragic scenes also aroused their ferocity. Many people no longer cared about life or death and rushed to avenge their companions.
Gradually, there was a loophole in the formation. Tanggu would not miss a good opportunity. He led the Goshawk cavalry and quickly rushed in, directly dividing the formation into two.
A difficult battle was taking place on the banks of the Chaoli River. The large formation was broken, and the commanders consciously formed small circular formations to resist each other, but this was just to continue to delay time. Time ran out.
One second passed, and the number of casualties of the Northern Shanxi Army was still increasing. When there were less than a thousand people left, even Zhou Dingshan began to pray in his heart, Supervisor, come quickly, if you don't come, all these manpower will be wiped out here.
.
Tie Mo was very anxious, very anxious. The cavalry of Northern Shanxi ran all the way east without stopping. This time Ma Fang personally led the team and rushed to the rescue of Fengning City as quickly as possible. When he saw that Fengning City was destroyed, Ma Fang did not
Without any hesitation, and without taking any time to rest, he led the army directly through Fengning to the Chaoli River. Sure enough, Zhou Dingshan's army was found in the Chaoli River area. No, Zhou Dingshan's army could no longer be called a large army at this time.
More than a thousand people were compressed by the river. Looking at the corpses on the ground, tears flowed from Ma Fang's eyes. Zhou Dingshan had done everything he should do, and now it was his turn to sell Ma Fang.
The Northern Shanxi cavalry consciously formed an iron chain horse. For the Jurchens, this was the first time they saw the iron chain horse, especially the Goshawk Army cavalry.
Discover how strong the Northern Shanxi cavalry really is.
It is said that the Mongolian cavalry traveled across the grassland, but it was still far inferior to the chain-linked horses. Huang Taiji had been leading the army for many years, and he knew very well how difficult it was for the cavalry to be uniform.
With the appearance of the Northern Shanxi cavalry, large numbers of the Northern Shanxi Army began to rush towards the Chaoli River one after another. In this way, under unpredictable circumstances, the Jin Army and the Northern Shanxi Army launched a war in the Chaoli River area.
A bloody battle. The final result is self-evident. The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom had been dragged down by Zhou Dingshan to the point of losing all morale. They were no match for the Northern Jin Army and they were killed and fled.
Huang Taiji and Tang Gugu managed to escape to the east bank of the Chaoli River, but Xiligu was not so lucky. He had been targeted by Zhou Dingshan and took advantage of the situation to take his head.
In the Battle of Chaolihe, Huang Taiji suffered heavy losses, the Gosying Army was almost wiped out, and the general Xiligu died in the battle. Tie Mo won beautifully, but Yang Sichang was helpless because he attacked Yingchang twice and failed to reach the city.
In the end, the Mongols took the retreat from Daxingling and were defeated for a while. As for Du Lenghong, he had more headaches than Yang Sichang.
Dorgon risked his life this time and attacked Ningzhou for many days. Huang Taiji also went all out. Under the combined efforts of the two brothers, Ningzhou was on the verge of collapse. Until now, Yingchang's garrison general Bai Fenghan
Having died in battle, it can be said that Ningzhou City has lost its main general. Ningzhou is too important, how could Du Lenghong be willing to abandon Ningzhou? In order to save Ningzhou City, Du Lenghong could only mobilize 10,000 troops near Daxingling to accompany him.
King Gu of Han rushed to aid Ningzhou, but as a result, Daxing Ridge was empty. Yang Sichang seized the opportunity and crossed Daxing Ridge directly to the city of Yingchang. A fierce siege began from then on. Although the Ming soldiers could not attack Yingchang for a while,
But with the news that Hanwanggu was defeated and withdrawn, it also indicated that it was only a matter of time before Yingchang abandoned it.
Han Wanggu was not a mediocre person. He knew how difficult it was to rush to the aid of Ningzhou City. As expected, he was ambushed halfway before reaching Ningzhou City. Fortunately, he responded in time and did not cause more casualties to the army.
Ningzhou is not safe and Yingchang is in danger. Du Lenghong used to be high-spirited and fearless, but now he is afraid. He is not afraid of death, but afraid that the hard-earned foundation will be ruined!
