In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 151 Depressed Dorgon
Two days later.

When the slave-building reinforcements arrived, the Lin family's army had already been deployed and was ready.

The Jiannu who were nesting on the wall had long since lost their human appearance. They were all sluggish and unable to live up to their original bravery.

For three days and two nights, not a drop of rice or water was touched, and the corpses around him began to rot and stink. Hauge and nearly two thousand Jurchens suffered tremendous physical and mental torture. They relied entirely on the reinforcements. Hope, that's why I persisted.

At this moment, except for a very few people, who were guarding the walls on both sides of the Lin Family Army's sudden attack, the others were lying motionless behind the walls on both sides.

If the Lin family army launched an attack at this time, they could actually be easily destroyed. However, Lin Rui always chose to encircle rather than attack. He just piled up a few sacks on both sides of the wall and on the steps, and deployed a 200 soldiers with spears, swords and shields.

Obviously he planned to starve the other party to death of thirst.

"Your Majesty, please wake up, please wake up. The reinforcements have arrived. Our reinforcements have finally arrived."

Looking at the countless war horses appearing in the east, the Jurchens who were resting all pushed their weak bodies to get up, their faces filled with excitement and excitement. The younger ones even burst into tears. Obai Then he rolled and crawled to Hauge.

"Really? Great..."

The place where Hauge lay was considered the cleanest. After being woken up, he jumped up like a corpse. With the help of Obai, he looked at the overwhelming cavalry in the east and beat the walls hard. .

"Quickly, put up the flag and let the reinforcements see that we are still holding on and Guihua City has not been completely lost..."

Everyone immediately hurriedly took out a dirty and torn flag, then put it on the pole, and the two of them waved it desperately.

Worried that the reinforcements were too far away to see, many people shouted loudly in Manchu, hoping that the reinforcements would come over immediately after hearing them, because they really didn't want to wait any longer.

At this time, the Jiannu reinforcements had stopped a few miles east of Guihua City, and the general in charge was Prince Heshuorui of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon, the fourteenth son of Nurhaci.

"Report to Prince Rui, the bandit army has broken through Guihua City and occupied the three walls of the north, south, and west. However, the east wall is still in the hands of our army, and Prince Su is still holding on..."

After exploring the situation near Majiang Guihua City and making the report, Dorgon immediately frowned and was not happy because Hauge was still holding on.

It was obvious that the other party deliberately kept the Qing warriors on the east wall for rescue.

Although he brought [-] cavalry with him this time, he hurriedly drove slowly all the way. He was already exhausted, and he didn't have any siege equipment. The opponent was well prepared and tried to rescue them by force. The end could be imagined.

But without rescue, it is absolutely impossible to just watch Hauge and the Qing warriors die before their eyes.

Thinking of this, Dorgon also cursed Hauge for harming others and himself.

Or simply finish everything and lose Guihua City, then he can just stay here and wait for the subsequent army to arrive.

Or occupy part of the city so that the army can enter the city directly.

But looking at the opponent's current deployment outside Dongcheng, it is obvious that Hauge on Dongcheng's head has been trapped to death, and he has been trapped for more than a moment and a half. He can get it with his butt. It is simply unrealistic to rely on them to attack from inside and outside.

However, it is secretly surprising to think that this group of horse bandits, in just a few months, not only grew to such a large scale and subdued all the Tumote tribes in the entire Qiantao area, but also forced Hauge to this point.

At the same time, I felt more and more awe and admiration for myna, and the little thoughts in my heart no longer dared to come out.

This time, including him, almost everyone felt that Bago was making a fuss out of a molehill, but now it seemed that Bago's judgment and foresight were definitely not even remotely better than theirs.

"Prince Rui, Prince Su, they haven't eaten or drank water for two days and two nights. They can't hold on for much longer. Let's attack quickly! If it's later, it will be too late!"

Sony on the side immediately became anxious when he saw that Dorgon's face was uncertain and he had not ordered the attack for a long time.

"Sony, do you still need to talk more when I'm doing this?"

Dorgon shouted with a straight face.

"Is Prince Rui going to die without saving him?" Sony also risked his life.

"How dare you frame me. Someone, drag Sony down and give him twenty lashes!"

Dorgon, who was unhappy at first, saw that he dared to talk back, and suddenly became furious and whipped him hard.

Sony didn't dare to be nagging anymore, so a few big men pushed him to the ground and dragged him down.

"Brother Fourteen, this guy Sony is a bitch, but if we really refuse to save him and let Hao Ge be trapped alive in the city, I'm afraid Bago won't spare us!"

Duduo looked at Sony being dragged down, and thought that Dorgon really wanted to die in order to get rid of Haug, so he patted his horse and came closer and whispered.

"You don't need to say this?" Dorgon rolled his eyes immediately. Duoduo understood the truth, so how could he not know it?
Even if Bago didn't blame him afterwards, he, Dorgon, would never be able to bear the reputation of sitting and watching the Qing warriors being trapped in the city and refusing to save them.

Regardless of whether he could be saved or not, he had to save him, and he couldn't delay, otherwise he would definitely leave a source of gossip in the future.

Dorgon no longer delayed, and directly asked Sony, who had been whipped twenty times, to lead 5000 men from the Eight Banners to attack the fortifications outside the East City, rescue Hauge and others on the wall, and asked Dodo to lead [-] Jurchen cavalry, and surrounded them. Cheng looked for the opponent's weak points to see if he could take advantage of them, while he led the remaining army to stay on guard.

Because he didn't know exactly how many infantry the opponent had, but the number of cavalry was only ten or twenty thousand less than them. Coupled with Haug's current miserable situation, Dorgon did not dare to take it lightly at all.

Indeed, at this time Namuzhong had left the camp with [-] Mongolian male cavalry and was wandering around.Obviously, once the Jiannu reinforcements showed their flaws and fell into a deadly battle with the Han soldiers, or stormed Guihua City, they would take the opportunity to rush over.

.........

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, follow me and kill!"

Sony was a die-hard loyalist of Haug. Seeing that Dorgon was willing to let him lead people to rescue Haug, his resentment in his heart disappeared a lot. He endured the pain in his back, climbed on the horse, and couldn't wait to launch the attack.

The fortifications outside the east city, facing the outside of the city, although there are only two rows of simple horse-repelling stakes, are still not something that cavalry can directly cross.

The cavalry can leap over the first row of horse-rejecting stakes at high speed, but they will inevitably end up crashing into the second row of horse-rejecting stakes.

At this time, Huang Ben, with [-] young infantrymen and long archers, was already waiting behind the horse-rejecting posts.

The long-haired soldiers, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers were directly behind the horse-rejecting posts.

The long archers moved twenty or thirty steps behind. They could attack the slave reinforcements attacking in front, or they could turn around and shoot the defeated soldiers who jumped down from the wall.

Seeing the Jiannu cavalry rushing up directly, the archers immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows, preparing to launch them.

Sony also knew that if he charged directly like this, he would definitely be knocked off his back, so he only brought two thousand cavalry to take the lead, and the remaining three thousand cavalry dismounted and followed behind to charge.

After being attacked by a hail of arrows shot by two-wavelength archers and knocking down one or two hundred cavalry, Sony led two thousand cavalry and successfully approached within twenty or thirty steps of the horse-rejecting post. They turned their horses' heads one after another and faced the two horses. He ran sideways, and at the same time he bent his bow and shot an arrow at the Lin family army behind the Juma post.

It has to be said that Jiannu's cavalry shooting was really not good. Even with the resistance of shields and horse stakes, there were still many spearmen and pikemen who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows and were dragged away.

At this time, the three thousand mengba cavalry who dismounted and charged from behind also rushed up, all holding scimitars and round cards.

"kill!"

The infantry of both sides immediately started fighting across the two horse-rejecting stakes. The spearmen's spears were enough to cross the two horse-rejecting stakes and stab the Mengba Banner, so they all thrust desperately at those who were preparing to move the horse-rejecting stakes. .

The pikemen's spears are shorter, and they are dedicated to assassinating those who climb over the first horse-repelling stake. In addition to guarding against arrows fired by the cavalry, the sword and shield soldiers are also responsible for killing those approaching Mengba banners.

Because Sony led two thousand cavalry, made a circle, then turned back, and while galloping past the Mengba Banner, he opened his bow and arrows at the Lin family army.

The long archers behind the Lin Jiajun were naturally not idle, and kept firing volleys of volleys at a constant pace.

Whether it was the cavalry galloping by or the Mengba Banners who had gathered to attack, they all fell in pieces. The armor on their bodies was unable to protect them at all, and sometimes even the small buckler was directly broken.

The Lin family's army defending this section only had [-] infantry and [-] archers, but they still suppressed the attacking [-] Jiannu. This is the difference between defense and offense. It is also the cooperation of multiple arms in infantry battles. The reason is far greater than that of a single military unit.

Dorgon in the distance was always paying attention to the battle here, and his brows became more and more frowned.

He originally planned to let Sony lead 5000 men to attack fiercely, attract the enemy troops defending other sections, and then seize the opportunity to launch a sudden attack from both wings, breaking through the opponent's line of defense outside the city in one fell swoop, without allowing the opponent to deploy from the city. Opportunity for reinforcements.

But now I saw that Sony's 5000 men were not only blocked in attack and suffered heavy losses, but the enemy troops defending other sections showed no sign of reinforcements coming from the middle. I also understood how Haug was defeated so miserably.

This group of horse bandits is indeed not simple. Their combat effectiveness, organizational strength, and equipment are much stronger than that of the Ming army.

Especially the long bow, as Abatai and Sony said, it has a long range and great power.

Although Sony had almost lost more than half of his 5000 troops, Dorgon still did not issue an order to withdraw his troops, nor did he send any more reinforcements.

In the end, Meng Baqi couldn't bear it anymore and retreated.

"Sony, why did you retreat without my order?"

"Prince Rui, the opponent's longbow is too powerful, and the spears and spears have all the advantages. The warriors can't break through their defenses and suffer heavy losses, so they have to retreat." Sony drooped his head.

"Fart, Prince Su is in danger, where do you get all these excuses? It's just a line of defense, only two horse-repelling stakes, two or three thousand people. I gave Qi an army of five thousand, and you can't even take it. You are obviously incompetent. big eater!"

Dorgon cursed, but this time he didn't beat him again.

"Prince Rui, it's not that the servants and warriors are not fighting hard, but the enemy army really has the advantage. Please ask the prince to send more troops to the servant. The servant will definitely break through the defense line this time and rescue Prince Su." Sony had no choice but to kneel on the ground and plead.

"Five,5000 people are already gathered together. What's the point of sending more people to you? Get out of here, you incompetent thing!"

Originally Dorgon was just planning to show off, so how could he really attack at all costs?

After only fighting for a while, more than 2000 warriors were lost from one attack. If we launched a full-line attack, how many people would die?

But he had to attack. Fortunately, Duduo came back with his men.

"Brother Fourteen, the opponent's camp to the west is well-defended. There are not only horse-repelling stakes but also trenches and earthen walls and arrow towers on the outside. It is more difficult to defeat than the fortifications in the east city. However, the wall on the west city collapsed with a big hole. At least With more than 20 feet, the cavalry can rush directly into the city, which should be the only flaw!"
