Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 181 Five-Road Siege
On August 1592, 8, the morning was cool.

Unlike the slackness of the previous few days, today's Ningxia town is full of tension.All kinds of messengers and patrol flags come and go, adding a sense of chill to the world.

In the camps of the Chinese Army, Governor Wei Xuezeng of the Three Sides and Governor Zhu Zhengse of Ningxia, there was already a crowd of generals of all colors.At seven o'clock in the morning about Huang Laifu's time, the Chinese army's tent was already under martial law with drums beating, and the soldiers under the governor's mark were all lined up, fully armed, and standing in order.

The gate of the Chinese army was opened wide. Wei Xuezeng, Zhu Zhengse and Ye Mengxiong, the leading civil servants, were all in military uniform today.Wei Xuezeng sat at the top, and Zhu Zhengse and Ye Mengxiong sat next to each other.All the generals, starting with Xiao Ruxun, the general officer of Ningxia, Ma Gui, Niu Bingzhong, Liu Chengsi, Dong Yikui, Li Yan, Huang Laifu, Li Rubai and others, stepped forward to bow to Wei Xuezeng one by one.

Then all the generals stood under the east and west walls of the camp according to their ranks, and the middle officers, second flag cards, battalion operators, palm trumpets and drummers, etc., waited outside the middle army tents and obeyed orders at any time.

At this time, everyone knew that the battle was decided by themselves, Wei Xuezeng didn't talk nonsense, and directly passed various orders, and the generals followed them one by one.According to the plan of Wei Xuezeng and others, the quelling army under the city, except Xiao Ruxun and others staying behind in the middle army, divided into five groups to attack the city. Dong Yikui attacked the south, Niu Bingzhong attacked the east, Li Yan attacked the west, Liu Chengsi attacked the north, and Ma Gui and Huang Laifu led the rangers to support them.

After hearing this order, Huang Laifu breathed a sigh of relief. According to his understanding of historical materials related to the Ningxia Rebellion in his laptop before he came to Ningxia Town, tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers will come to aid him in a short time. Bye, where will be my battlefield in the future.But to attack a city is to fill up with human life, Huang Laifu doesn't want his elite soldiers to be wasted here.

Fortunately, Wei Xuezeng, Zhu Zhengse and others also understood this point, but let him be with Ma Gui to lead the army to assist at any time.

The Wuzhaibao army lined up on the right side of the central army's position. Every sergeant was neatly dressed and led a horse. They lined up neatly, flying banners and standing silently.It provoked Magui's army next to them to keep looking here frequently.

After receiving the order, Huang Laifu returned to the top of his team and waited quietly for the order.Looking around, the army formation under the city is endless.The Ningxia rebels on the city seemed to know that the Ming army below the city was about to attack the city, and they all ran back and forth on the city in panic.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the position of the Chinese army, the formation was divided, and artillery tanks came out one after another, but it was the tank battalion led by Gansu governor Ye Mengxiong who attacked the city first.Ye Mengxiong is proficient in both literature and martial arts. He was famous for his skill in artillery warfare in Ming Dynasty.The [-] artillery chariots brought by Ye Mengxiong this time were painstakingly compiled and trained by him in Gansu.

Different from the 600-jin sidecars used in the Ming army, Ye Mengxiong's chariots are all light vehicles. Only two people can push and pull, and only four people can climb mountains and wading, so they are relatively light to use.Light carts with two wheels forward, behind the shutter, 6 knives and guns, 2 Francophones, 2 layers of rockets, [-] Baizi blunderbuss, lightly landed on the ground, if there is a tendency to move on its own.

These chariots have been pushed to a place not far from the city. At this time, in the town of Ningxia, most of the artillery, bows and arrows used by the rebels were exhausted in the previous battles.There was nothing they could do about Ye Mengxiong's chariot battalion. They watched hundreds of Frang machine guns on the chariot bombarded in unison, and then used rocket attacks to burn down the city tower.

Shells of various colors exploded on the city, causing heavy casualties to the rebels.After the city tower was hit by rockets, it was blazing again. The rebels on the city shouted and ran, carrying buckets of water to douse them.

After the shelling, the four-way army of Dong Yikui, Niu Bingzhong, Li Wei, and Liu Chengsi, and the tide-like Ming soldiers, carried the battle ladders and began to attack the city with shouts.Huang Laifu also led the army on horseback, and led [-] Zhaibao warriors, together with thousands of troops led by Ma Gui, they went back and forth between the gates of the city, shouting and responding.

Above and below the city, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the fighting was extremely cruel.The army of the Ming Dynasty suppressed the chaos, set up battle ladders, and attacked the city with ants, while the chaos army on the city, under the command of Baibai, led the soldiers of various families to fight back with rolling logs, stones, or fight against the city. Those Daming soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city fought hand-to-hand.Soldiers from the Ming Dynasty continued to fight the chaos, and they were hit by rolling logs only halfway through the climb, and fell to the bottom of the city screaming.

Compared with the Ming army attacking the city, Huang Laifu and Ma Gui were not at ease. Police kept coming from all the city gates, and the bandit soldiers seemed to be going out of the city to fight. Soldiers went to respond.Compared with Huang Laifu's soldiers who all had horses, Ma Gui's army only had a few hundred people with horses. The soldiers on foot ran back and forth between the gates of the city, and soon they all ran out of breath.

When the battle was in full swing, the north city gate suddenly opened wide, and a very tall and strong old rebel general in full armor came out, leading about [-] servants who were also in full armor, all of them were riding on horses, shouting wildly. Shouting, as if to break out of the city.Seeing that something was wrong, Qian Bai wanted to ask for help from the Hetao Mongolian tribe in person.In the past, Xibai once formed an alliance with the Mongolian leader, Like, to respond to the rebellion. However, because Xibai was trapped in the town of Ningxia, Yilik and Xibai could not work together, and did not dare to cross the river again.

At this time, Huang Laifu and Ma Gui led troops running on the south gate and west gate respectively. Suddenly they received an urgent report from Liu Chengsi who was attacking the north gate of Ningxia town. He ordered his generals Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao to lead hundreds of soldiers and horses to stop them.

Liu Chengsi was originally the commander-in-chief of Gansu, but because in July of the 18th year of Wanli, the Mongolian Huoluochi tribe in Qinghai invaded Lintao, and he was defeated when he led the army to fight against the enemy, so he was demoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Gansu.At this time, he had soldiers from the North Route and was rushing to attack the North City, when suddenly hundreds of powerful servants came out from the door.

These family members are all Mongols, and they are all loyal confidants of Xiaobai. They have all risked their lives. When they were led by Xiaobai, the Ming army on the North Road couldn't help being in chaos. They were about to be attacked by Xiaobai Break out.Liu Chengsi hurriedly asked Huang Laifu and Ma Gui for help.

Huang Laifu's three hundred family members have been keeping good and not moving, whether they are humans or horses, they are all very energetic.At this time, under the order of Huang Laifu, led by Jiang Dazhong, they hurried to the north gate.I saw that there was a great chaos here, and the hundreds of servants who were in charge of the worship were rushing out desperately.

Jiang Dazhong yelled: "Boys, follow me to kill thieves."

The servants of Sanbaiwuzhaibao howled in unison, each holding a lance, and the dense sound of horseshoes trampling on the ground was like thunder.

Xiaobai was leading the army to slash and break through the encirclement desperately. He has always been brave, and the Ming soldiers who stood in front of him were knocked to the ground one after another by him.Seeing how powerful he is, the soldiers of Daming who were besieging stepped aside one after another. Seeing his eyes light up, they wanted to stand out and encircle him.

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound of hooves ahead, and hundreds of cavalry in iron armor rolled towards them. Even the horses under them were covered with cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves, with an astonishing momentum.

Qiao Bai couldn't help being taken aback, thinking: "Which army is this, so brave?" His mind flashed through the Wuzhaibao army he saw on the city a few days ago, which was still wearing armor and heavy loads during morning run exercises, thinking : "Could it be them?"

Although the hundreds of servants worshiped were all desperadoes, seeing the momentum of the Wuzhai Fort cavalry, and the sharp cold light of the cavalry pointing directly at them, they couldn't help feeling flustered, and they were already exhausted after killing for a long time just now. , How can it compare to these Wuzhaibao cavalry who are recharging their energy?

In addition, the momentum of their horses was already exhausted under all kinds of obstructions. When the cavalry of the 100 Walled Fort led by Jiang Dazhong charged at full speed, when the two sides passed by on the wrong horse, they heard screams again and again. However, the [-] servants brought out by Qibai had already suffered more than [-] casualties, while the Wuzhaibao cavalry had only a few casualties.

Jiang Dazhong led the cavalry straight past. Except for Jiang Dazhong, who was as strong as a bull and used iron spears, the cavalry spears of the rest of the cavalry were all wooden-handled lances. Some of the cavalry stabbed the enemy, and most of them broke from the middle.After rushing straight for a while, everyone pulled their horses back, and each of them had changed their sabers.Jiang Dazhong saw that the horses were still strong, and was about to lead the army to charge again. At this time, Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao, generals of the Magui Ministry, came with hundreds of soldiers, shouting.

Qiao Bai let out a long sigh, breaking out was hopeless, he led the troops to resist, while slowly retreating back into the city, and nearly half of his [-] strong servants also lost.

Seeing that Qibai retreated, the men of Liu Chengsi's army under the city, Ma Gui's general Ma Kongying, and Ma Chengzhao's subordinates cheered loudly, and at the same time they rushed forward desperately to grab the heads of the dead and injured of the underground Qibai rebels. A total of 110 heads of eight worshipers were harvested.

The army of Wuzhaibao stood still, but saw the troops scrambling into a group with cold eyes, Jiang Dazhong was riding on the horse, he couldn't help shaking his head, and at the same time, he was also angry. This group of Qiu Ba was obviously the result of the hard work he led the soldiers. As a result, the head was snatched by them.

But Jiang Dazhong knew that the military exploits are obvious, and his young master Huang Laifu will definitely get back the credit for himself and his brothers.At the same time, he also has a sense of superiority in his heart, so there are many hidden dangers in robbing the leader to judge meritorious deeds. It is the collective post-war meritorious system established by his young master, which is clever.
