1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 509 Bing Feng ([-])

On August 1644, 8, Daming, Laizhou Prefecture governed Suoye County.

Aixinjueluo Bahana, the governor of the Mongolian capital of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and Zhenglan Banner, squinted his eyes and observed the city of Ye County carefully. After a long time, he sighed slightly in his heart. The brows on his forehead were also furrowed.

This small Ye County is not simple!Although the city wall is not very tall, there are seven or eight cannons arranged on the top of the city, which has never been seen in any prefecture or county in Shandong.

Bahana and Shi Tingzhu sent troops from Jinan on the [-]th day of the eighth month, heading east, and continuously attacked more than ten prefectures and counties in Shandong. Killed Laizhou, and took Pingdu Prefecture and Changyi County lightly.By the afternoon of today, I rushed to the city of Ye County.I thought that with my great reputation in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, I could go to this city without a fight like those prefectures and counties before.

But they didn't expect that this small Ye county was waiting for them to attack.

"This city is not easy to attack!" Hai Se, the leader of the Eight Banners Zhenglan Banner next to him, said softly, "And the opponent seems to have been prepared for a long time. There must be thousands of soldiers stationed in the city. We didn't bring any siege equipment. Lord Dutong, Otherwise, let's plunder the nearby countryside first to replenish supplies."

When Bahana and Shi Tingzhu set off from Jinan, they only brought [-] Banner troops with them, drove the [-]-year-old Ming army, and hurried to Laizhou Prefecture.For the sake of speed, Bahana ordered Shi Tingzhu to lead the Eight Banners infantry and the former Ming army to come slowly, and he led more than a thousand armored cavalry to rush to Laizhou with light armor, thinking of directly attacking Laizhou with lightning speed Mansion, captured and killed the so-called prince of Ming Dynasty, and brought the Denglai area under the rule of Shandong by the way.

Looking at it now, I still underestimated these remnants of the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know where I got so many cannons and put them on the top of the city. The Eight Banners who arrived were all cavalry and had no siege equipment. Little Ye County felt helpless.

"Set up the camp first, and wait for the pawns to arrive." Bahana said gloomily, "Rest for an hour, and let the boys go out and have fun."

"Hey!" Hai Se frowned when she heard the words, and rushed towards the team on horseback.

The meaning of "go out and be happy" is self-evident. I heard that this Laizhou mansion has never been destroyed by Li Zicheng's army. In the past, when I entered the customs and plundered Shandong in the Qing Dynasty, I had never been to these places. There are many "fat sheep" that can be copied.

As for whether the Ming army in the city would come out to attack them, the Eight Banners soldiers were not worried at all.For more than ten years, there have been very few Ming troops who dared to fight in the field. It only needs to deploy dozens of cavalry to guard the city, and those timid Ming troops will never dare to go out of the city to fight.

However, although Bahana did not plan to attack the city, he still sent an Eight Banners soldier into the city to intimidate the defenders.

The envoys of the Eight Banners who entered the city were brought before the crown prince and many other officials, and then arrogantly declared that if the Ming army did not open the city and surrender before dark, then our Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would massacre the city for three days after they captured Ye County.

In the lobby of the Laizhou government office, Prince Zhu Cihong's face turned pale when he heard the words.It wasn't because he was scared, but because he was angry at Jiannu's domineering arrogance.Thinking of me as a majestic Ming Dynasty, when the heavens ascended to the kingdom, the city of Beijing was overrun by thieves, and the king and father died in the country.Although this slave-builder clown joined forces with the Guan Ning Army under the banner of avenging our Daming, he defeated Li Zicheng and took back the city of Beijing.But now it seems that Jiannu has betrayed his righteousness and openly lived in Beijing, and has successively conquered most of Gyeonggi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, as if he wants to occupy our Ming Dynasty.It may be as the Qi people said, this slave building is probably going to enter the pass to attack the Central Plains, completely replace my Ming Dynasty, and cause Hulu to capture the world.

Now, when the Jiannu heard that the Crown Prince of Daming had appeared in Laizhou, he quickly sent troops to attack, just to completely wipe out the last vestige of righteousness of the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Zhu Cihong looked at the Denglai officials standing in the hall, several Qi generals, and the generals of the new army, and found that they were all watching him, as if they were waiting for his decision.

"Push it out, behead it, and hang it on the wall!" Zhu Cihong shouted sharply through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed over immediately, knocked down the astonished Eight Banners envoy to the ground, and dragged him out.

"His Royal Highness, the envoys between the two countries will not be beheaded!" Zhang Ruliang, the magistrate of Laizhou, got up and persuaded: "Please also release the enslaved envoy, Your Highness, to thank me for being the king of Ming Dynasty, and to retreat and leave."

"The Jiannu people are here, how can they leave so easily?" He Yunfeng said with a smile: "If Jiannu can feel the transformation of the Ming king, I am afraid that he will not have defeated the Ming army in Liaodong several times, and he will not enter the customs several times in a row. Looting. Besides, this Jiannu was declared by the Ming Dynasty to be a rebellious slave, how can it be considered a country? My lords, don’t you still want to please Jiannu and think about what will happen after the death?”

"This general of Qi Fan should not talk nonsense, so as to tarnish our innocence!" Zhang Ruliang's face was as dark as water, and he said seriously: "Being a slave is unjust, cruel and cunning, but my Ming Dynasty can't be like a beast. Now the Ming Dynasty has fallen So far, everyone has hoped that the crown prince will revive the power of the country and repeat our Great Ming Dynasty. Therefore, our Great Ming Dynasty should recruit sages from all over the world, train warriors who are skilled in martial arts, gather the fame of the world, and gather the strength of hundreds of millions of people. Cleanse the Divine Land, and then carry out the career of Hongwu!"

"My lord, the Ming Dynasty is in peril. It is time to work hard and show determination. Now that slaves have been established and the bandits are still alive, Nanjing has set up a false dynasty. In the current situation, His Royal Highness is already in a state of overwhelming power. If you are not careful, you will There will never be redemption." He Yunfeng said: "The world is in chaos, and you are no longer allowed to speak brilliantly. To put it bluntly, today's world is dominated by strong soldiers and horses! Without strength, naturally there is no words, and there is no foothold Land! Your Royal Highness, do you agree?"

"Push it out and behead it!" Zhu Cilang immediately ordered the enslavement envoy to be dragged out and beheaded after hearing that.

When the bloody head of the Jiannu envoy hung over the city of Ye County, it not only made the Jiannu Jiaqi below the city furious, but also made the faces of the Ming defenders at the top of the city change several times.His Royal Highness beheaded the Jiannu envoy to persuade them to surrender, which meant that the defenders in the city would live forever with the Jiannu outside the city.

At present, there are 7 Qi State Marine Corps, 1 Artillery Squadron, and 1 Cavalry Squadron concentrated in Ye County. In addition, there are more than [-] members of the expanded Ming Dynasty Army.Calculated, the strength far exceeds that of the more than [-] Jiannu Jiaqi outside the city.But Jiannu's reputation for being good at fighting has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the army and people of Daming. Not to mention that there are only more than [-] Jiannu cavalry outside the city, even if there are dozens of Jiannu cavalry, the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are afraid of them like tigers and dare not fight.

"At this time, is it too late to go out and fight?" Niu Hu asked softly.

"It's just the end of the day (13:15-[-]:[-] p.m.), if Jiannu is in a hurry to die, maybe a battle can be fought before dark." Xu Chuanxing, the commander of the Second Marine Battalion, said.

"Then let's go out and fight a battle." Niu Hu said with a smile: "Otherwise, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in this city don't know what to do when they are frightened by this Jian slave. Damn, there are only more than 800 cavalry, and they dare to come here Siege! This slave is too rampant."

"They chased Li Zicheng with 10 people like rabbits, from Beijing all the way to Shanxi, without even daring to look back. So, Jiannu has the capital to be rampant!"

"Then let's let them see the power of Daqi's muskets and artillery, and kill their arrogance." Niu Hu then ordered seriously: "Marines, artillery squadrons, and cavalry squadrons, all gather and prepare to leave the city!"

With the blowing of the assembly call, the officers and soldiers of the new Ming army stationed at the top of the city were shocked to find that the officers and soldiers of the Qi State in black military uniforms were holding muskets and began to assemble at the gate of the city, like a forest of bayonets. , the high-spirited cavalry lineup, followed by seven or eight cannons placed on the gun carriage, and the sound of passwords and promises sounded one after another.Finally, amidst the sound of the horn, a red rising sun and yellow dragon flag stood high at the front of the queue, slowly but firmly marching towards the open city gate.

"Hey! The Ming army in this city still has a bit of courage!" The slave cavalry outside the city were furious that the envoys who entered the city were beheaded and hung on the top of the city for public display, when they suddenly found that Ye County had opened the city gate. , a black torrent was continuously pouring out, with incredulous expressions on their faces, and then a burst of ecstasy in everyone's heart.

The team leaving the city seemed a little different from the former Ming army. They were all wearing black military uniforms and holding "spears". Although there were also cavalry, there were only about [-] of them.The army leaving the city ran out with dozens of people, carrying wooden repelling horses one by one, rushed to a place more than a hundred steps in front of the city, and set up two simple horse repelling formations.Then there were more than a dozen soldiers in black, dragging a few wooden baskets, as if they were scattering something on the ground in front of the formation.

"Well, it's still pretty good, repelling horses, throwing barbed wire, and deploying spears. Although it is still fighting against the city, it still has a bit of courage." Bahana nodded and said.

"Master Du Tong, shall we rush into the city?" The leader of the council asked Hai Se softly.

"Are you so sure that we can rush into the city?" Bahana smiled.

"As long as you rush in fast enough, you might be able to rush in." Hai Se said, "What I'm afraid of is that if there are too many defeated soldiers, the city gate will be blocked."

"Haha..." Bahana laughed out loud after hearing this.Since the defeat of Li Zicheng in Shanhaiguan in May, our Qing soldiers have been unstoppable in their advance. They have fought all the way from Liaodong, and they are invincible.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, this county is a bit weird." Bahana said, waving his whip, "Send a hundred riders over there first, and try their quality!"

"Hey!" Hai Se promised, turned the horse's head, and ran towards the back of the team.

In a short time, more than a hundred Jiannu cavalry urged their horses, and slowly rushed out of the team, and rushed towards the black army array that was lined up under the city of Ye County.
