Chapter 492: The City 2

The dozens of Qing troops at the top of the city were already killed or injured. Hearing the deafening shouts under the city, his eyes were filled with fear. Gao Yi stood there with a long sword in his hand, like a door god, cutting at all the Qing troops who were trying to approach the city wall to protect more soldiers to the city.

After a while, the number of Ming army people on the city wall completely surpassed the Qing army. They gathered together and tried their best to move forward, and finally killed the Qing army in the city of Sancheng, firmly grasping the initiative of the entire battle. At this time, the city of Jinzhou was finally alarmed, and various horns of gathering soldiers sounded from all directions. Qing soldiers holding torches rushed along the street toward the north wall. At first, they were like sparks, but slowly became fire.

Gao Yi held a long knife and waved his voice loudly, "Don't chase after those Tartars. Everyone followed me to open the city gate and welcomed the army into the city."

Nearly twenty Qing troops arrived at the city gate, and under the command of a leader, they transported cross-border trees and stones, blocking the door, trying to resist the Ming army's entry. When they suddenly found a large number of Ming troops behind them, their last little hope was completely lost, and they screamed and fled in scattered.

Gao Yi ordered people to move the obstacles immediately and remove the crossbows on the city gate. The soldiers outside hit hard, and after a loud "bang", the city gate was knocked open. The soldiers around him cheered and rushed into the city like a long dragon.

Nearly two hundred Qing troops also rushed over at this time. They rushed over under the leadership of a general. The two armies fought fiercely one hundred steps away from the city gate. There were not many soldiers in the Ming army initially pouring into the city, and even fewer than the Qing army. Their attack momentum of the Qing army was blocked and became a stalemate.

The sounds around him were higher and higher, and the screams of soldiers were everywhere. Gao Yi was in the crowd, constantly slashing his sword, and his whole body was immersed in red. This battle to seize the city was almost certain. But if he delayed, the losses would inevitably increase. He looked up and saw several baggage soldiers coming with ten thousand enemies on their backs, but they were blocked by the crowd and could not move forward, nor could they reach the distance they were shot. Gao Yi shouted loudly: "Get away from the people in front of me, let the soldiers carrying ten thousand enemies on their backs. Now throw them to me, and it's okay to throw them into the self-army group."

Gao Yi's thunderous roar was still obvious in the messy crowd, and the baggage soldiers were squeezing among the crowd with tens of thousands of enemies on their backs. Some simply ignited tens of thousands of enemies on the spot, and threw them out directly, regardless of where they could be thrown.

Ten thousand enemies jumped around with smoke and sparks, some were thrown into the self-army group, while some were thrown into the Qing army group opposite. There were screams everywhere, the Ming army dispersed, and the Qing army dispersed, leaving a distance between each other, trying to avoid the hot flames. However, the Qing army lacked support, and more and more Ming army took this opportunity to pour into the city.

The Qing army gradually became less supportive, and the smartest behind had already begun to flee in the opposite direction. Although the Qing generals cut down several deserters, they could not stop the defeat. The Ming army became more and more powerful, and the sound of golden drums continued to sound until the last point in front of them was completely crushed. The Ming army's loud shouts swept across the entire Jinzhou City with infinite heroism.

Tan Shimai led his troops into the city. When he saw Gao Yi, he shouted loudly: "Old Gao, occupy the four gates first to prevent the people in the city from escaping. Restrain the soldiers under his command and do not kill innocent people. The military gate said that we must have a long-term possession of this city."

Gao Yi hummed, "You have to tell me about these things. I have let my subordinates do it long ago. But my soldiers are insufficient, so I only sent people to occupy the East Gate directly. Now I will give you a good job. The prefecture government in Jinzhou is in Xicheng. You can quickly lead a team of people to go there and don't let these puppies burn it."

The government office is the location of the Jinzhou Treasury, and has accumulated a lot of wealth from Jinzhou City. Although Zhou Xian strictly prohibited the private ownership of the seized property, it is still possible to take a little from it for his own army to use it. Hearing Gao Yi give up such a good thing to himself, he smiled and said, "You are still Gao, you have a conscience. You guys follow me, and the rest, go to seize the South Gate, and don't let the Tartars run away." After that, he carried his gun and ran straight towards the west city quickly.

Several cavalry whistled past the city, ringing the gong and shouting loudly: "The people in the city are all staying at home, and those who go to the streets without authorization are killed."

At the entrance of the garden, the sky has turned white.

During the peace talks, Gao Yi led two thousand-person teams to the ashore, and then went to seize Jinzhou with light clothes. Huang Fei led the remaining two thousand-person teams to set off in full suit. As a subsequent support force, the two armies were about two minutes apart. The next one was the nearly 1,000 cavalry led by Jimu. Their primary purpose was to take advantage of the situation to seize all the fortresses between Jinzhou and Fuzhou, and to send scouts to monitor the movements of the Qing army in Fuzhou.

At this moment, the first three groups of soldiers had completely arrived ashore, and it was the fourth group. They were the Xinzi Camp led by Zhao Xusheng and the about 1,000 cavalry left in Jimu. They carried a large amount of baggage and moved slowly. They had to wait until at least afternoon to fully land and successfully arrive at Jinzhou City.

After hearing the news brought back by the whistle ahead, Zhao Xusheng nodded slightly and boarded the ship to find Han Kuo. "Mr. Han Qian, our army has successfully taken Jinzhou. Please send the Clippers to Lushun to report this to the military gate."

Han Kuo looked surprised and said, "So fast?"

Zhao Xusheng nodded and said, "Li Ruitai brought most of the Tartars out of the city, with only 500 soldiers left in the city, otherwise Gao Yi and the others would not be so smooth. You can bring this news to the military gate as soon as possible. If you can send the news before Li Ruitai can hear the news, perhaps our army can attack in the north and south directions to completely wipe out the Tartars in Jinzhou."

Han Kuo suddenly realized and looked at Zhao Xusheng and said, "Deputy General Zhao, are you worried that the Tartars will run away after receiving the news?"

Zhao Xusheng smiled and said, "As long as Li Lutai is not hopeless, he will definitely escape. General Huang should also send people from the road to deliver letters, but the Qing army is everywhere there, and the speed will probably be slower than yours."

Han Kuo bowed and said, "I understand, I'll do it now."

Seeing Han Kuo go away, Zhao Xusheng turned to Yu Qi beside him and said, "Seventh Master, Jinzhou City is the narrowest part of the entire Liaonan Peninsula. If the Qing army wants to escape, they cannot avoid it unless they are willing to abandon most of their troops and flee. I will give you three hundred mules and horses, and you will bring some firearms to Jinzhou first to help General Huang stay."

Yu Qi nodded and walked to the distance. But halfway through the way, he turned back and said, "Tan Deputy General, you should call me Yu Qi in the future!" After that, he bowed and left again.
