After walking hard on the mountain road for nearly two days, the army arrived in a ravine about five or six miles away from Phoenix City.

"How is the situation in Phoenix City, single households?"

When they arrived at the top of the mountain, Luo Yiyao looked at the Phoenix City in the distance. They had little dry food. According to the plan, they had to take down Phoenix City within four days, and then go to Zhenjiang Fort along the official road to meet with the navy and attack Zhenjiang Fort together.

"According to the spies from the Black Ice Platform, there are two Niulus in the Jurchens in Phoenix City, and three Han Niulus."

Shan Mao bowed and said.

"Is there any Jurchen Ala Ejin?"

Hearing Shan Mao's words, Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The two Jurchens recorded only 600 people. As for the Han people, they could be ignored. Nurhaci had massacred in Liaodong and demoted all the Han people in Liaodong to slaves of the Jurchens. If he attacked the city, the Han people should not resist with the Jurchens.

The only thing to worry about is that there are Jurchen masters stationed in Phoenix City. There is no Confucian method of cultivating the soul of the Jurchens. Therefore, compared with the Ming Dynasty, Jurchens pay more attention to power. The strong are respected and everything speaks with strength. Most Niulu Ezhen has a second-rate realm, and Jiala Ezhen generally has first-class strength. Those Gushan Ezhen are even the top power among Jurchens. The entire Eight Banners are only a dozen Gushan Ezhen.

Therefore, Jiala Ejin is already a senior general among the Jurchens. Each Jiala Ejin has his own personal army. If there is Jiala Ejin stationed in Phoenix City, the subsequent siege will definitely suffer more losses and it will be more difficult to capture Phoenix City.

"Don't know."

Shan Mao shook his head: "Our spies are all Han people, and they dare not get too close to Phoenix City. If you ask for information, you can only get it from the Han people who fled into the mountains, or observe it while the night is dark."

"Is this how?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi frowned, but did not blame Shan Mao. After all, a Han man suddenly appeared in Phoenix City, which was definitely an extremely eye-catching thing and could only alarm the enemy.

"Old Pan, send the order to rest for an hour, and then attack."

After thinking for a while, Luo Yi spoke, although he was not sure what was going on in Phoenix City, now that he has come here, he can only fight. Besides, Phoenix City is not an important level. I think the Jurchens will not leave too many masters here.

"Um."

Pan Ping nodded and replied, then went down to make arrangements.

…

After the rest, the soldiers put on their armor and marched towards Phoenix City again. With the cover of the mountains, the army was discovered by the Jurchens in Phoenix City until they were only three miles away from Phoenix City.

Winter! Winter! Winter! Winter!

The dull drum sound spread throughout Phoenix City. The Liaodong Han people who were farming outside the city listened to the dull drum sound, their eyes were full of confusion. They didn't know what the Jurchens were doing, but they still rushed towards Phoenix City. After all, if they were too late to go back, they would be beaten to the whip at the least, and at worst, they would be unable to save their lives.

But when we arrived at the city gate, the city gate had already been closed, and the Daqi army in the distance was slowly approaching. Seeing this scene, the Liao people outside the city gate fled one after another.

Not long after, the Daqi army formed a formation and slowly approached Phoenix City, and then stopped hundreds of feet away from the city wall.

At the Central Military Office, Luo Yi looked at the three-meter-high city wall and hundreds of Jurchens with bows and arrows on the city wall, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Liu Jian, Tian Cheng, He Wenxiong, you three each brought 8,000 people to the other three walls to disperse the Jurchens' troops."

After thinking for a while, Luo Yi spoke, although they have an absolute military advantage, if they can reduce losses, they will naturally have to reduce losses.

"The last general takes the order."

Hearing Luo Yi's words, He Wenxiong and the other two bowed their hands to respond.

"Shan Baihu, take my two hundred personal soldiers to block the official road from Phoenix City to Zhenjiang Fort. Don't let the news here reach Zhenjiang Fort."

After thinking for a while, Luo Yi continued.

"Secretary, go now."

Upon hearing this, Shan Mao nodded.

Soon, three large armies circled a large circle towards other city gates, and the Jurchens on the city wall also divided their troops to defend the city wall in other directions. After a while, there were only nearly two hundred Jurchens on the city wall to the west.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yi nodded with satisfaction, raised the flag in his hand, and soon, the war drums thundered. With the sound of war drums, thousands of troops raised their shields in their hands to approach the city wall.

Hundred feet!

Fifty feet!

Thirty feet!

The Jurchens on the city walls set their bows and archers. The sparse arrow loss could not form a dense rain of arrows and did not have much lethality.

As time passed, a large number of Qi soldiers came to the city wall with their shields. One by one, the strong soldiers threw out the claw hooks in their hands. Soon, dozens of claw hooks tightly hooked the blue bricks on the city wall, and the claw hooks were tied with a thick hemp rope.

Thousands of Qi troops below bent their bows and shot arrows, suppressing the Jurchen defenders on the city wall. The dense rain of arrows made the Jurchen defenders on the city wall dare not appear at all.

"Cut the rope!"

Niu Luezhen, the leader, shouted loudly.

A Jurchen soldier just raised his sword and rushed towards the hemp rope, but the next moment, dozens of arrows were missing and shot him into a hedgehog.

At this time, Qi soldiers bit their knives from their mouths and began to climb up along the hemp rope.

At this time, stones were thrown from the city wall, and one Qi soldier after another was hit by the stones to the ground, and he was unaware of life and death.

However, at the same time, the Jurchen soldiers who threw stones were also shot and killed by archers under the city wall. In just a moment, forty or fifty Jurchen soldiers had fallen under the bow and arrow.

Soon, one Qi army soldier after another climbed the city wall, and the head-on battle began. The Jurchen defenders, who had only more than 100 people, had no room for resistance in the continuous Qi army soldiers. In just one stick of incense, more than 100 Jurchen defenders were killed, and the battles on the other three walls were also one-sided.

Although there is an advantage in defending the city, facing the Qi army with a hundred times the strength, the Jurchen defenders will be useless even if they have a great advantage.

………

In the lobby of Phoenix City Vilar.

"Governor, all the Jurchens in the city have been killed."

Pan Ping bowed and said, "There are more than 500 Han people in the city now, and the other young and strong people are farming outside the city and have not come back yet."

"Just ask someone to go outside the city to recruit the young and strong men and let them continue to farm."

Luo Yi waved his hand and said, "How much is our loss?"

Pan Ping bowed and said, "Three hundred and thirty-two people were killed in battle, more than 260 people were seriously injured, and more than 700 people were slightly injured."

"Please treat soldiers as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Luo Yi was not surprised. Although they had the advantage of military strength, they lacked siege equipment, so it was already very good to maintain the combat loss ratio at a one-to-one level.

"Liu Jian, you will next lead 8,000 troops to garrison Phoenix City."

After pausing for a while, Luo Yi continued, "Old Pan, send an order to repair it, and set up camp tomorrow and head to Zhenjiang Fort."

"The last general will receive the order!"

Pan Ping and Liu Jian both bowed and replied.

"Single hundred households, you immediately send someone to Huanggudao Fort to inform the navy to transport weapons and food to meet us, and let the navy restrain the Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort."

Luo Yi turned his head and looked at Shan Mao, a black ice platform on the side. This time they set out from Xiuyan City, they were completely lightweight and simple-format operations, without any supplies, let alone artillery and so on.

There are four or five thousand Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort, most of them are cavalry. Although there are 50,000 people on his side, he does not have any weapons to defend against cavalry. If he is charged by the opponent's cavalry, he may be defeated in one go. Therefore, the navy must restrain the Jurchens in Zhenjiang Fort.

"The official understands."

Hearing Luo Yi's words, Shan Mao nodded.

………

On the other side.

After receiving the news from Luo Yi, the navy fleet stationed near Huanggu Island Fort pulled anchor to Zhenjiang Fort, and then landed ashore near Zhanzidao.

Naturally, the news of Qi army could not be hidden. Not long after, the news of Qi army was placed on Gu Santai's head.

"Penggu, what do you think should be done?"

Gu Santai looked at the side. He was Gushan Ezhen with the blue flag. He and Panggu were both Amin's loyalty.

"Fight with those Han people and avenge Beile!"

Panggu said angrily that Amin had intended to seize North Korea and become king before, so he placed both of them here. Unexpectedly, Amin was framed by Huang Taiji and died in the Ming Pass.

Although Huang Taiji is the main culprit, Da Qi is also the culprit. Now the Han people in Da Qi dare to come here, just to avenge Amin.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Seeing Panggu's reckless look, Gu Santai frowned and said, "They are Amin's loyalty. Now Jiergalang is in charge of the Inlaid Blue Flag. Jiergalang has always wanted to deprive them of military power, but he is afraid of their strength. In addition, in the battle inside the pass, the Inlaid Blue Flag's strength has been greatly damaged, so Jiergalang dared not touch them easily. If there is heavy losses here, Jiergalang will probably not care about them anymore."

"Gu Santai, are you afraid of the Han people in Daqi?"

Hearing Gu Santai's words, Panggu said disdainfully: "If you are afraid, then you can stay here to defend the city. I will lead my troops to deal with them."

Although Gu Santai is Gushan Ezhen, his strength is not weaker than Gu Santai, and he is not even ashamed of Gu Santai.

"Pian Gu!"

Gu Santai said coldly: "If you want to die by yourself, you can go by yourself and don't bring the children in the clan!"

"Gu Santai, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Panggu said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think our men can't beat those Qi troops?"

"Pengu, there are only more than 4,000 people in the city, and the Qi army landed in the landing has more than 10,000 people. How many people do you want to bring to deal with them?"

Gu Santai suppressed his anger and persuaded himself not to get angry with the man in front of him. The man in front of him had no brains in his head.

"Give me three thousand soldiers and horses, I will definitely defeat these Qi troops."

Chapter Gu Chang's crazy saying, he did not take the more than 10,000 naval masters from Daqi seriously in his words.
