Chapter 885 Soldiers Arrive in Jinzhou
The State of Wei decided to go on an expedition in July. After nearly three months of preparations for the feudal mansion, [-] Wei troops left the customs from Zhangjiakou, Shahukou, etc., and then marched to the east in a mighty manner. In just three days, they rushed to Jinzhou City. In addition, the Qing army did not even have time to react.

At this time, in the wilderness, [-] horses were galloping, and the horses trampled on the ground, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, which shocked people's hearts.

Countless Wei cavalry rode on war horses, carrying a roll of blankets, a musket, sabers and water bottles on their waists, followed by an auxiliary horse carrying food and other supplies, and marched across the wild.

Generally speaking, the march of the Central Plains Dynasty was dominated by infantry. It took several months to prepare and transport food and grass, and a large number of civilians were required to accompany them.

The cavalry of the Wei army paid attention to maneuverability and speed when fighting. Like a nomadic march, they didn't need too much preparation, and they didn't need civilian husbands to accompany them. They came and went like the wind and maneuvered quickly. Like the infantry, which has a stable logistical supply, it consumes energy for months or even years.

At this time, in front of the carpet-shaped cavalry, a small group of Wei army cavalry with horses and muskets galloped forward, chasing and chasing the sentry cavalry of the Qing army. The cavalry rolled up yellow dust, and the scene was spectacular.

On the top of the city, Hong Chengchou had seen the world, but when he looked out from the city and found that the Wei army was covering the sky, he was still so shocked that his body shook and almost fell.

He has commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how many troops he has seen, he shouldn't be so gaffe.

However, at that time, he had enough capital to fight against the enemy. Although Li Zicheng had hundreds of thousands of troops when he was suppressing the bandits, he commanded the army of several provinces. Ten thousand, my heart is naturally calm, and I feel that I can still fight.

At this time, seeing the Wei army coming from the wild, he didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands. The three cities combined only had more than [-] people, and the city had not yet been built, and the artillery and equipment had not yet been deployed. How could he not panic? ?

At this time, seeing the cavalry of the Wei army getting closer and closer, and the sound of hooves sounded like thunder, Hong Chengchou suddenly reacted, pushed away the supporter, and shouted urgently, "Hurry up, ring the alarm! Get ready to defend!"

Suddenly a rapid alarm bell sounded in Jinzhou City, and the soldiers of the Qing army rang the gong. The sound of "dang dang dang" woke up the Qing army and civilians inside and outside the city instantly.

The bell rang, and the Qing army in the city slowly climbed to the top of the city, but two completely different situations occurred outside the city.

Standing on the wall, Hong Chengchou saw the alarm bell ringing, and the Qing troops outside the city rushed back, while the peasants who were burning bricks and carrying bricks and stones suddenly cheered, "Wei Jun is here! Run!"

The people under the city wall were in an uproar instantly, and many of the people who built the city jumped into the moat from a high place and swam to the other side.

These famished peasant husbands and banner slaves let go and fled in the opposite direction. For a while, the wilderness was full of running figures.

The Qing army on the city saw those men who were working hard on weekdays, yelling that they could not eat enough and had no strength. They seemed to have used all the strength accumulated over the past few days at this moment. Seeing countless civilians, they all became sprinters. The master can't help but bulge his eyes in shock.

Thousands of civilians ran wildly, all the strength burst out from their bodies, and they only had one thought in their hearts, "Run, if you don't run, you will be eaten."

After Gao Yihuan captured Taiyuan, he asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange a four-act drama. The image of the ogre Azig not only penetrated into the hearts of the people of Wei State, but even the people in Shandong, Beizhi, and Jiangnan were also drawn from the villain books printed by Wei State. , Knowing about Taiyuan.

Therefore, when the peasants saw the army of Wei approaching, they did not dare to enter the city at all, and fled one by one.

The Eight Banners soldiers who supervised outside the city swung their knives and slashed, killing dozens of people in a row, but they couldn't stop the peasants from fleeing. They heard the thunderous hoofbeats behind them, and when they turned their heads, they saw the Wei army rushing in the distance. back to the city.

People's hearts are like this, Hong Chengchou and the Manchu officials in the city were silent when they saw this scene.

After a while, Hong Chengchou came back to his senses, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, send a fast horse to notify Songshan and Dalinghe City, and then send people to Shengjing and Beijing, and ask King Su and the Regent to send troops to rescue!"

An official behind him came to his senses, hurriedly responded, and ran down the city wall.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came like waves, and the cavalry of the Wei army reined in the horses two or three miles away from the city wall.

Li Dingguo, who was wearing armor and wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and a cloak behind him, reined in his horse, and the army behind him stopped immediately.

At this time, Hu Dawei stood up on his horseback, put his hands on his forehead to block the sunlight, and looked at Jinzhou City from afar. When he saw the protruding edges and corners on the city wall, he couldn't help saying to himself, "Is this Guncheng?" He looked carefully again. After a few glances, after making sure, he dropped his buttocks back to the saddle, pulled the rein swiftly, and galloped towards the Chinese army.

"Governor, Jinzhou City was remodeled by old thief Hong. It seems that it was built according to our city in southern Henan." Hu Dawei galloped up to Li Dingguo, and said in a deep voice.

There is no permanent post of governor in the Wei army. There are only the governors of the front, back, left, and middle five armies in the governor's office. Each army has two governors, a total of ten people.

When it is time to go on an expedition, in ordinary battles, a commander-in-chief will be sent to command the army.

At this time, the rank of the governor is the highest, so there is no need to increase the title. However, when encountering a big battle, several governors are sent at a time.

Of course, when the war is over, the governor will hand over his military power and return to the governor's office of the five armies. The title of governor will be revoked, and it will not be permanent.

Li Dingguo held the reins while watching Jinzhou City. The city is more than three feet high, and there are blunderbuss towers on the city walls. The city will be transformed.

Li Dingguo raised his horsewhip, pointed at the bricks and stones piled up outside the city, and said with a smile: "It seems that the two battles in Xiangcheng impressed the Tartars deeply! But don't worry, Hong Chengchou's actions have long been under the surveillance of the Great Wei. Now Jinzhou is just a superficiality, the city has not yet been built, and the artillery is not equipped, so it is not difficult to attack!"

Wu Guozhu said: "Jinzhou, Songshan, and Dalinghe are three places where the finished characters stand together, and they can reinforce each other. How does the governor plan to attack?"

Li Dingguo glanced at Jinzhou, and immediately ordered, "Wu Zhimao, you lead 2000 soldiers and horses to seize Dalinghe City immediately. According to the information obtained by this general, the city has not yet been built, and there are only more than [-] Qing troops and tens of thousands of civilians. You Be sure to take it, and then monitor the direction of Liaodong."

"No!" A general in iron armor behind him clasped his fists together and pulled his horse away.

Li Dingguo said again: "Li Jiyu, Wang Yongqiang, you two led 1 troops to besiege Songshan, and pay attention to the direction of Shanhaiguan."

The two warriors also clasped their fists together, pulled the reins and left quickly.

A moment later, the defenders on the city saw two Wei armies bypassing Jinzhou respectively, one heading to the northeast and the other to the southeast.

Seeing this scene, Hong Chengchou had a melancholy look on his face. Wei Jun actually rushed to Jinzhou directly. He really didn't expect how much courage it would take.

At this time Li Dingguo looked at Jinzhou, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the distant city: "The advantage of this battle lies in the quick decision. The three cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, and Dalinghe are centered on Jinzhou City. If you take Jinzhou, even if you don't take Songshan and Daling The river can also surrender without a fight."
