Huanlong Lake at the foot of Wula Mountain is extremely beautiful. The water is calm and clear as a mirror, and you can see swimming fish.
To make things worse, the evil spirit Li Rubi, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, arrived. Yang Huai heard what Yan Hulu Ke Zhai Sang said, so he sent this ruthless man to cut off the enemy's water source.
This man was a big thief, he was ruthless in killing people and even more ruthless in fighting. As soon as he arrived at Huanlong Lake, he dug out the mountain road to carry water up the mountain and erected three fences. An earth fence was built behind the fence to wait for the Qing army to fetch water.
The next day, the Qing army's water-fetching team suffered greatly and more than a dozen of them were cut down.
"Zhang Jing, it's bad, the Ming army has cut off our army's water source." Flying to the peak, Sabusu received the military report and sighed, "Whatever you are afraid of will come true!"
He personally led 1,580 banners to seize the water source. In front of Li Rubi's 5,000 elite soldiers who were waiting for him, he suffered a bloody blow and lost hundreds of soldiers, without gaining anything.
Sabusu had no choice but to discuss with Lang Tan, "Lang Tan Zhangjing, our army has insufficient water resources and the city of Wula Mountain cannot be defended. I want to withdraw to Liaoyang, what do you think?"
Liaoyang is the second of the "three capitals" outside the Manchu customs: "Tokyo". This is a very wasteful capital. It was only three years since Nurhaci moved the capital here from Hetuala. Huang Taiji also took a fancy to Shenyang's geographical location and built it.
The third of the "Three Capitals" was called "Shengjing". What a waste! After the palace in Liaoyang was repaired, Huang Taiji moved to Shenyang without even living in it for a day.
"Alas! That's all we have to do!"
The second general and his remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses evacuated overnight. As soon as they retreated to the bank of the Taizi River, the soldiers and horses of Yang Huai, the Pingbei general of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly burst out from the reeds.
Yang Huai was a veteran general. If the water source was cut off, he expected that the Qing army would flee and had already laid a dragnet.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The flags of the Ming army are everywhere, covering the mountains and plains, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Lang Tan finally broke out of the siege and rode his horse to swim across the Taizi River.
"Shoot him to death". The first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ping Xibo, yelled.
"咴聿聿!"
The rain of arrows killed Lang Tan's horse. Wearing iron armor, he couldn't float and sank to the bottom of the river.
Sabusu encountered Chen Ze's big sword, which was a big sword and weighed dozens of kilograms. Normally, he was not afraid, but now he was surrounded on all sides. He had no fighting spirit and just wanted to escape, unable to display his martial arts. After a short battle, Chen
Ze's big knife weighing more than 40 kilograms drank his blood.
The battle of Wu La Mountain City was too difficult. Yang Huai wrote a poem afterwards and recalled:
"Battle at Ulla Mountain"
A fierce battle beside the white clouds,
The troops were at a standstill.
Murderous aura spreads to Tianque,
Birds fly away deep in the mountains.
The barbarians have no destiny for the country,
Wula has little water source.
Xiao Wu Tian Shang Ke,
From the lake to the top of the mountain.
??
It works hard once, then fails again, and finally exhausts itself.
Fighting is about momentum. Yang Huai has fought for so many years, so he naturally understands this principle. After taking the Wu La Mountain City, he only rested for one day, and then the whole army marched towards Hetuala, Xingjing of the Qing Dynasty with overwhelming force.
Come.
This was the Longxing land of the Qing Dynasty. Losing it would be a capital offense. Bilong had no way out, so he worked hard with Pengchun, Haita, and Nigali to reorganize the city defense, and recruited five soldiers from the thirty thousand bannermen in the city.
Thousands of bannermen, plus fifteen thousand soldiers, defended the city.
Like Ula Mountain City, Hetuala is also built on a mountain, but it is much larger than Ula Mountain City, with a double city wall. The inner city is five miles in diameter, the outer city is ten miles in circumference, and there are nine city gates alone.
What's even more difficult is that it's surrounded by water on three sides: east, west, and north. The south side, which is not surrounded by water, has the highest terrain and the most dangerous terrain, with steep cliffs.
Yang Huai looked around at the generals and began to encourage him before the battle, "I know that Hetuala is a hard nut, but no matter how hard it is, we will bite it off. The loyal soul of Sarhu is watching us, and the Ming Dynasty's billions
The people are waiting for the news that we have defeated Manchuria and rejuvenated the capital. String your bow, unsheath your sword, and move forward towards Hetuala!"
"Fuming Zuo, Krudu. Kill~kill~kill~"
Forty thousand Ming troops roared to kill.
Chen Ze attacked the west gate, Li Rubi attacked the east gate, Gu Zhong attacked the north gate, Dynasty attacked the south gate first, and Yang Huai and Tong Yangjia personally supervised the battle at the east gate.
The Ming army used the east gate and the south gate as the focus of the attack, and built more than ten forts outside the two city walls. The sound of the cannons was roaring, and the power of the red cannons was huge. Some of them even crossed the city walls and fired into the school grounds inside the city.
Canglin. However, it is a mountain city after all, and the wall base is integrated with the mountain. Even though it was riddled with holes, it is still as solid as a rock.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill the captives. The first one to climb will be promoted to a higher level and will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." Li Rubi showed his true colors as a thief, with a ferocious look on his face. He braved the rain of arrows without fear of death, held a shield and a knife, and boarded the city in person. The general
Fighting desperately, the three armies forget to die. "Ten thousand victories", "ten thousand victories", "ten thousand victories"?? The men's momentum is like a rainbow, and they rush to kill like an overwhelming mountain.
Seeing his bravery, Yang Huai was delighted and said to Tong Yangjia: "Tong Duxian, this Li Rubi is truly a fierce general of our army. In war, you must have such an indomitable momentum!"
Tong Yangjia also stroked his beard and sighed: "If everyone were like Li Rubi, would they be able to capture the city today?"
Li Rubi was very brave, but Peng Chun, the guard at the east gate, was wise. Standing on a high platform, he saw that the Ming army commander was actually on the front line, and hurriedly ordered the dozen or so condor shooters around him to watch Li Rubi's volley.
"Yeah!"
Li Rubi was hit by an arrow in her arm and fell from the ladder. Fortunately, her armor was thick and other parts of her body were not penetrated by the arrow.
"Headquarters!"
The soldiers hurriedly protected Li Rubi and retreated. The general was injured, and the morale of the Ming army weakened and they were driven out of the city.
The other three gates were not captured either.
After attacking for ten days, the Ming army lost three thousand soldiers, but they were still unable to conquer the city.

Ninggu Pagoda, Ruan Jin is very happy. He has been promoted. He has just received the decree from Emperor Guangwu to make him Marquis of Danghu. It is a great leap from earl to marquis.
As Emperor Guangwu's imperial power became more and more stable, the control of titles became more and more strict. Those who did not have great merit were not allowed to be knighted. It was extremely difficult to advance to the next level! Ruan Jin followed Zhu Hengjia, fighting from south to north, and accumulated countless
Only through military exploits can we make further progress.
After being promoted to a knighthood, I am more motivated.
Ruan Jin recruited two thousand new troops from the surrendered tribes and continued his campaign against the tribes that refused to surrender. He also successively captured the Asu River, Hedala, Hetunji, Helan City, and Huerwen Zhuwei. He
He ordered his son Ruan Jun to stay at Ninggu Pagoda, and he led Tanbu, Yuerduo, Fulehe and other generals, as well as 3,500 cavalry, to the gates of Hetuala City.
Yang Huai was very happy, not because of the arrival of Ruan Jin's 3,500 cavalry, but because of Tan Bu, Yuer Duo and Fulehe.
These three generals are all high-ranking Manchurian officials, especially Fulehe, who is the son of Azige and a member of the Aixinjueluo family. It is the best way to use them to shake the morale of the Tatar army. Marshal Yang has read military books.
A soldier who defeats others in battle is a good person!
"Listen, bannermen of Hetuala, I am Tan Bu of the Zhenghuang Banner. Emperor Shunzhi was cruel and massacred my brother Tan Tai and other heroes. Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty was kind and quickly put down his weapons and went to the benevolent lord."
"Listen, those at the flag, I am Yuerduo from the Zhenghuang Banner. The Ming Dynasty's army has surrounded this place. Resistance is futile. Return quickly and surrender. I will protect your lives."
Tanbu and Yuerduo shouted to persuade them to surrender, but the answer they received was a hail of arrows.
"Minions in the city, listen, I am Aixinjuero Fuleh, the son of Prince Azige of Heshuoying, your master. Even I have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Why are you fighting? Give up quickly.
Surrender and live a peaceful life!"
This time, the city was silent.
Suddenly, Ye Bilong's roar came from the top of the city, "This man has been expelled from the clan. He is no longer a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family. He is a rebel. Shoot for me!"
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh", a shower of arrows rained down.
