Chapter 32: The trick is not afraid of old age, it works just fine
Haizhou in this period was the Haicheng of later generations, a city with a very critical geographical location because it is located on the dividing line between western Liaoning and Liaodong!
From here, it is the Liaodong Peninsula to the south, it is Liaoyang to the north, and it is Shengjing, which is Chenyang.
Yileshen has been stationed here for more than ten years. As an old man who came through the time of beating old slaves, he has never been as nervous as he is today. The man who was slaughtered and ravaged in the past turned into a man-eating tiger beast one day, which was really unimaginable.
But this is an irreversible fact.
Seeing the Ming army roaring under the city, with bright soldiers and bright armor, he could never forget his defeat yesterday.
Yileshen, who had gathered most of the power in his hand, rushed to Niuzhuang as quickly as possible. As a result, when he led his troops, Niuzhuang had already changed the banner of the Ming army. Some of the Ming army lined up in the field outside the city to wait.
Yileshen is an old man from the Eight Banners. He has followed the old slave since the day he started his army and has been used to the situation. He has seen more Ming troops as timid as chickens and let them slaughter. The old slave baptized Liaodong bloodi and his subordinates were stained with countless blood of men. Yileshen is also one of them.
That was because I looked down on the Ming army from the bottom of my heart. Is Yileshen, who held three hundred flags and a large number of coats, wouldn't he give up the great opportunity to ask him to avenge Akdun?
He also believed that the Ming army must have won Niuzhuang after a hard battle, and he must have been exhausted at this moment. As long as he could defeat the stumbling block in front of him, the defeated army turned around Niuzhuang, although there were so many cannons in the Ming army, no matter how big the ship was, it would not be possible to drive on the shore. He Yileshen defeated Niuzhuang and defeated the Ming army.
At that moment, the two generals under him led a hundred soldiers and surrounded the Ming army from both sides, and he led the remaining troops to confront the Ming army.
This is a very simple tactic, but it can make many achievements during the battle between Jianlu and Ming army.
As a result, he learned the most tragic lesson in his life.
The Ming army stood upright and let the Qing army's vest soldiers approach fifty steps, the birdslingers in the queue fired neatly.
Each team in the Yiyong Camp has three platoons of musketeers, one platoon uses turtledog-footed guns, and two platoons use Lumi guns. Sixty percent of the military power uses firearms, which means that the Yiyong Camp has a total of 750 bird guns with a total of 1,250 people.
These are not the Ming court's firearms, but all of them are privately made muskets from the upper layer of texture. They are the small-caliber Lumi guns, which can still break through the iron armor at a distance of fifty steps. In this way, a row of guns were fired, and five hundred muskets on both wings were shot out, and the Qing army's vest soldiers rushed over and overturned the horses.
"It's a pity that there are no cavalry!"
On the city wall, Zheng Zhilong, who was fleeing in a panic, was hammered hard at the mercenary. If he could hold two hundred elite cavalry in his hand, he would be able to retaliate at this moment, how could Yileshen escape?
But now, Yileshen, who suffered a great loss, fled in a hurry with his tail between his legs, but he was still following two hundred cavalry. As for those Baoyi slaves who had no war horses, they were abandoned by him without hesitation.
From Niuzhuang to Haizhou, forty miles, this is definitely not something that the Coats can escape.
It was natural that Zheng Zhilong raised troops to attack Haizhou City and did not give Yileshen too much time to summon the slave Aha.
Yileshen, who fled back to Haizhou in a panic with less than 200 vest soldiers and dozens of slaves, did the first thing he did was to ask someone to quickly report to Liaoyang and Gaizhou to pray for reinforcements. Then he ordered the Baoyi Aha of the surrounding farms to enter the city and mobilize all the men and women to prepare to defend the city. But the Ming army came too quickly.
"Boom boom boom..."
In the orange-red explosion of flames, the gate of Haizhou City is "flying ashes" is annihilated. Zheng Zhilong also has the same trick, as long as it works!
Yileshen had never thought of blocking the city gate. What he thought about was that reinforcements came, and then defeated Zheng Zhilong from inside to outside, or that Zheng Zhilong had heard that the Qing army reinforcements arrived and rushed to the camp in a hurry. He could follow and kill them to avenge the bloody feud of Niuzhuang's defeat.
Only in this way can he atone for his sins.
But now, the city gate is open!
"Run..." Gan Hui drew his sword and provoked it, and the city gate opened, and the Ironman Army took the initiative in the battle to seize the city!
Zheng Zhilong listened to the sound of fighting in the city, but his mind was not on Haizhou, but on the entire battlefield.
Yileshen must have sent people to report to Liaoyang and Gaizhou. He is not capable of peeping into Liaoyang, but what about Gaizhou?
Just like the ended battle in Niuzhuang, Yileshen came with the troops from Haizhou in a fierce manner, which itself would have been a major weakening of Haizhou's city defense. If he hadn't lost so many coats in Niuzhuang, Zheng Zhilong would not have dared to come to attack Haizhou.
The Tartars in the city, the old and the young, could all be gathered together, and there were still one or two hundred people, plus the three hundred cavalry who escaped back, and the robbers in the city, which was not a small number.
That is, the city gate was successfully exploded, which gave Zheng Zhilong great confidence. Otherwise, if he was hit twice, Zheng Zhilong would not have been desperate to attack the city.
He is a hundred treasures to the elite in his hands.
In Haizhou City, the Zheng and Qing troops had completely disrupted the situation.
The former is fierce and brave, and he rushed hard. The city gate opened and immediately rushed in like a surging water.
The Qing army was caught off guard!
They had already divided the troops to defend the four cities, and there was a soldier on the top of the city. Even though they were so suppressed by guns and cannons outside that they could not raise their heads, they did not dare to go down to the city to hide. Thus, there were not many Ding Yong in the soldiers inside the city walls.
When the city gate was blown open, how could those individuals stop the Iron Man Army's military?
The army rushed into the city, don't say anything else, it was just that Yileshen himself felt as if he had come to his senses.
In ancient times, when the city was attacked and defensive, once the enemy entered the city and the city walls lost their effect, the pressure and influence on the defenders was unparalleled. To put it lightly, "The morale of the army is chaotic and the fighting spirit is greatly reduced."
The weakening halo of the defenders is as huge as the amplification halo of the soldiers on the attacking side.
The Qing army was already short of people, but now they were defeated and they were no match for themselves.
"Report!" Gan Ping rushed to the east gate of Haizhou, "Report to the commander, the remaining Tartars were either fleeing or retreating into the city guarding the palace."
Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "Yer Shen is actually leaving the way to survive?" Zheng Zhilong still understood the principle of three missing one, and did this, but he didn't expect Yier Shen, whose hair was white, to go out so hard.
Although he was ambushing soldiers at the end of that road of life, although everyone knows the principle of drinking poison to quench thirst, don’t he drink poison wine as life-saving water when he is about to die of thirst?
"Tell you brother, the Tartars are going to defend to the death, then set fire to the fire. The battle will be resolved as soon as possible!" He was not going to stay in Haizhou City.
"Send the order to speed up the soldiers' movements. They should capture people and transport them back to Niuzhuang by water along with Fucai soldiers. Jianlu reinforcements are not far away."
Zheng Zhilong actually didn't know how far the Qing reinforcements from Liaoyang and Gaizhou were left from Haizhou. But time told him that he would retreat as soon as possible now.
After yesterday's battle in Niuzhuang, he immediately sent Gan Hui to Haizhou City along the Haicheng River.
This Haicheng River is a tributary of the Taizi River, and the reason why Niuzhuang is the key to water and land is that Niuzhuang is the intersection of the Liaohe River, Hunhe River and Taizi River. And the entire Liaodong is only the basin of these large rivers.
Although this Haicheng River is only a tributary of the Prince River, the river surface is more than ten meters wide, and the water is shallow, so big ships cannot walk, but small boats can. However, there are not many ships along the Liao River, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would have taken a boat to Haizhou.
