The blame must be shouldered
PS: Thanks to book friend Hua Xiaoyun for the tip.
Tong Yangxing was afraid that some of his Han generals would escape to Jinzhou City again, so he arranged for his trusted Han generals to lead people to keep an eye on the remaining people.
And he immediately rushed to Mang Gurtai.
When he rushed over, Mang Gurtai's face was already gloomy.
"Big Belle, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." Tong Yangxing looked at Mang Gurtai nervously.
snort!
Mang Gurtai snorted coldly and said, "Go and explain this matter to Lao Ba yourself!"
He suppressed the anger in his heart and did not attack Tong Yangxing.
Tong Yangxing was sent by Huang Taiji, and he actually killed Tong Yangxing before the battle. He was worried that Huang Taiji would use this incident as an excuse, which would be detrimental to him and Zhenglan Qi.
Moreover, with the defection of Han soldiers under Tong Yangxing, even if Jinzhou City cannot be taken, there is still a suitable scapegoat.
"I will plead guilty to the Great Khan. The most urgent task now is to deal with these traitors who betrayed Dajin and restore the power of the army." Tong Yangxing said to Mang Gurtai.
I want Mang Gurtai to send troops to deal with the defecting Han soldiers and generals.
The reason why he did not use his generals was because he could not trust his Han generals too much and was worried that other Han generals would follow the example of those who had defected before.
"Ebilun!" Mang Gurtai shouted.
"Amma!" E Bilun replied.
Mang Gurtai said: "You will personally lead a group of white-armored soldiers and lead the Mongols to pursue the defecting Han soldiers and generals. You must annihilate them all and let others know the consequences of betraying me, Dajin."
"Hey!" E Bilun rode away.
Tong Yangxing, who was on the side, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Mongols were sent out.
The Mongols may not be able to siege the city, but they can still easily handle the pursuit of deserters.
The Mongols are all cavalry, and the defecting Han soldiers are all infantry. The cavalry naturally occupies the battlefield initiative and advantage over the infantry.
Mang Gurtai looked at Tong Yangxing in front of him and said: "If you fail to capture Jinzhou City this time, you, Tong Yangxing, are responsible for this. If it weren't for the betrayal of the Han soldiers under Tong, I'm afraid they would have captured it by now.
City Head."
Hearing this, Tong Yangxing's face showed bitterness.
He knew that it was not a big deal that the army could not capture Jinzhou City. It was even because of Mang Gurtai's impulsive actions that the Han soldiers under him would defect.
But he knew better that no matter what the reason was, it was his Han soldiers and generals who defected in the end. Even if the lawsuit went to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji would only believe Mang Gurtai, not him as a Han official.
It's a good thing that Jinzhou City was captured, otherwise he would have to bear the blame for the defeat of the war.
On the other side, E Bilun, who was almost exhausted by Mang Gurtai's side, led a group of white-armored soldiers and Mongolian cavalry to chase the fleeing Han soldiers and generals.
From the time he was beaten since he was a child, all he heard were words that disparaged the Han people of the Ming Dynasty.
Unlike Mang Gurtai who came out of the old forest, Mang Gurtai was already a Baylor when Ebilun was born, and he has not suffered much since he was a child.
In his eyes, the Han people were all slaves who could be bullied at will.
Even if the army was defeated at the gate of Jinzhou City and could still do nothing to defeat Jinzhou City, he did not think that it was because of Jinzhou's incompetence, but because the Han soldiers who attacked the city were incompetent.
If it were their Eight Banners soldiers, they would have captured Jinzhou City long ago.
Now that he could finally go into battle and kill the enemy, he finally had the opportunity to kill everyone, even if the only ones he was about to kill were some Han soldiers who had defected from Dajin.
He even thought that after he killed all the defecting Han soldiers and completed the task assigned by Mang Gurtai, he could lead the Eight Banners soldiers to attack Jinzhou City, and then attack the city in one fell swoop and achieve the first victory.
When E Bi Lun and the Mongolian soldiers chased and killed the defecting Han soldiers, these Han soldiers were retreating to the southwest of Jinzhou City.
Because the defenders in the city did not allow these Han soldiers to approach the city gates and walls.
These Han soldiers were very honest and obedient.
After betraying the army of slaves and thieves, they only had one option: Jinzhou City, and they needed the protection of the defenders in Jinzhou City, so they all walked honestly to the southwest of Jinzhou City, and no one had any objections.
"At the camp, the leader of the slave bandits has sent out Mongolian soldiers. It seems that they are heading towards the Han soldiers who have fled to our side." Wang Ju noticed the changes in the slave bandit army through the monocular telescope.
The noise caused by the running of four to five hundred horses was very conspicuous even on the battlefield outside Jinzhou City.
"Order the artillery team to protect the Han soldiers and don't let the Mongolian cavalry get close to them." Zhao Wu ordered.
A soldier on the side ran to notify the artillery team.
Zhao Wu held up a monocular and stared at the Mongolian cavalry outside the city.
Regardless of whether the Han soldiers who defected from the slave thieves were sincerely defecting or pretending to be loyal, he did not want these people to be lost in the hands of these Mongolian cavalry.
He always kept in mind what Liu Heng said.
As long as the soldiers of the Ming army are well fed, 90% of these soldiers will be willing to follow you, even if it means beheading their heads.
Although these Han soldiers defected from the slave thieves, they were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong before they took refuge with the slave thieves.
Nowadays, Luhuzi Banner does not have many troops on the Shun side, especially since troops are stationed on all the islands along the coastline, so the troops are even more stretched.
If it weren't for the fact that their Tiger Character Banner had limited troops in Liaodong, they would have already sent troops to recapture Fuzhou before Mang Gurtai led his army to attack Jinzhou.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cannons in the city were fired.
In addition to the cannon on the city wall where they were, there were also cannons on the city wall closer to the southwest, and all the cannons on it were fired.
The target of the artillery attack was the Mongolian cavalry pursuing in the southwest direction.
Cannonballs fell towards the middle of the Mongolian cavalry.
There was a panic among the Mongolian cavalry, and at least twenty Mongolian cavalry died under the shelling.
"Rush, rush! Rush for me, don't be afraid!"
E Bilun shouted loudly from the corner of his mouth, regardless of whether others could hear it or not, he rode his horse and rushed to the front.
Following closely behind was the team of white-armored soldiers sent to him by Mang Gurtai.
The most powerful of the slave army is the white-armored Bagara, followed by the white-armored soldiers, and behind them are the red-armored soldiers.
Some of the white-armored soldiers may not be inferior to Bagala, but they cannot become Bagala because they do not kill enough enemies on the battlefield.
The white-armored soldiers who followed E Bilun were all carefully selected by Mang Gurtai. They were the most powerful among the white-armored soldiers, not as good as those white-armored Ba Ya La.
After all, he is his most beloved son, and Mang Gurtai does not want to see anything happen to E Bilun.
However, if you want to be respected and hold real power in Dajin, you have to rely on meritorious service in the military. Otherwise, even Huang Taiji's son will not be taken seriously.
Mang Gurtai handed over his elite white-armored soldiers to E Bi Lun. In addition to protecting E Bi Lun, he also had the idea of helping E Bi Lun achieve more meritorious deeds.
Chapter completed!
