At this time, Xiong Tingbi, who personally led 20,000 cavalry to come to the rescue, rushed to Fengji Fort without stopping. After galloping for dozens of miles, he had to rest here temporarily.
"General Li, quickly assemble all the three thousand cavalry in Fengji Fort. The infantry will be ready and wait for my order when the time comes!"
"Yes, Taitai!"
Xiong Tingbi looked at the resting troops around him with a very solemn expression. This was the first time he had a head-on confrontation with Lao Nu. If he was defeated and tens of thousands of cavalry suffered heavy losses, Liao and Shen would be in great danger.
And he must come to rescue. The strategic position of Hupiyi is too important. It is the connection point between Liaoyang and Shenyang, and it is also the bridgehead against Jiannu. If Hupiyi is lost, Fengji Fort will also be lost. Shenyang is A lonely city.
"Taitai, Jiannu has launched a large-scale attack on Hupiyi. Tens of thousands of old slaves have heavily surrounded Hupiyi. We can't find out what's going on in the fort."
Time was not waiting for him, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly summoned the army, and then led He Shixian and 800 elite cavalry as the vanguard. He led the main force ten miles behind, and Fengji Fort guard Li Bingcheng led 5,000 infantry to prepare for the response.
At this time, Hupi Post was surrounded by beacon smoke. Mang Gurtai gathered 3,000 armored soldiers to attack the left wing. Several Niulu were also sent from other directions to launch a kite-style attack on the Ming army. The Ming army was unable to resist, and even failed several times. After Jiannu climbed up, Zhu Wanliang mobilized another thousand soldiers to defend. Although Hupiyi was a strategically important town, it was just an armament fort outside the city.
The city wall was only about two feet high, and it was made of a mixture of earth and stone. The slaves didn't even need a ladder. They just threw an iron hook and jumped up and climbed a few steps to almost reach the top.
Naturally, Mang Gurtai had a clear view of the movements of the Ming army on the city. At this time, his three thousand soldiers had suffered four to five hundred casualties, and the Ming army had suffered even greater losses, having already exceeded a thousand.
"Is the golden juice ready? Jian Nu is coming up!"
"OK OK."
The Ming army carefully carried out several large pots, which emitted an extremely disgusting stench. Naturally, Gu Tu, who was commanding from the city, also smelled it.
"Retreat quickly, the Ming army is going to pour gold juice."
Although he immediately gave the order to retreat, more than a hundred Jiu slaves were still not spared. They were already at the edge of the city. They had no time to react before they were burned to the ground and rolling around crying.
"These Minggu who deserve to be killed will mobilize another thousand Aha to support Gutu and attack with all our strength."
Mang Gurtai became angry and vowed to kill all the Han dogs inside.
"Order Baiyin to prepare to attack the right wing!"
The city briefly repelled Jiannu's attack, but everyone knew that the more terrifying thing was yet to come, because they saw Jiannu's reinforcements.
Zhu Wanliang looked at the dead bodies of the wounded in the city and cursed Xiong Tingbi in his heart, "Didn't you say you were coming to support? Why haven't you arrived so long?"
"Great Khan, a large number of Ming army cavalry were found on the official road in the north, numbering tens of thousands!"
Nurhachi had already dispersed the Zhenghuang Banner scouts, just to set up an ambush. Unexpectedly, someone actually came to rescue him, so he just wanted to expand his results. Nurhachi laughed and said:
"It seems there are some stupid pigs who don't know how to live or die and can't wait to die!"
"With such a large amount of cavalry coming from the north, it must be the Ming army from Shenyang. Xiong Manzi can't help it anymore, hahahaha."
"Great Khan Yingming, if we can capture this Ming army this time, Shenyang will be in my pocket. I just don't know if Sibeile will need more troops. I'm afraid Zhengbai Banner's troops will not be enough."
Li Yongfang will not miss any moment where he can express himself, even if he shows his face.
"Of course. Since you want to eat meat, you need to have good teeth. Send an order and send out all the yellow flags to reinforce the white flags. Tell Sibeile that this Ming army must be wiped out."
Nurhaci was mobilizing his troops, and Xiong Tingbi was about to reach Hupiyi, but he could not move forward any further.
"Taitai, General He's troops were ambushed by Jiannu and suffered heavy losses. There are less than 300 cavalry left to return."
This was bad news for Xiong Tingbi, so he quickly summoned He Shixian and asked:
"How did you fall into the ambush?"
He Shixian dismounted and knelt down to apologize and said:
"Taitai, the Jiannu are cunning. When I marched to the mountains and forests ahead, I encountered a Jiannu scout. I wanted to give our army a bonus first. Unexpectedly, the elite Jiannu soldiers were ambushed in the forest. Arrows were like rain. The general was captured.
They were caught off guard and were invincible!"
Xiong Tingbi was filled with anger after hearing this. He directly picked up the riding crop and whipped He Shixian on him.
"As a general in charge, you don't even know the simplest tactics to lure troops!"
"Because of your underestimation of the enemy and greed for merit, our Ming Dynasty lost hundreds of cavalry in vain."
He Shixian just bowed his head and said nothing. He thought that he was just losing a small game and it was not a big deal. Moreover, Jiannu had just laid an ambush in advance. If he was prepared, he would definitely kill them without leaving a trace.
Xiong Tingbi fought and scolded, but he had to readjust his tactics as soon as possible.
"You can clearly see the soldiers and horses ambushing you. They belong to that flag!"
"Tai Tai, I'm sorry, those slave soldiers covered their bodies with grass and trees. The general didn't see clearly at the time, but looking at the armor of those scouts, they should be the slave soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner!"
True yellow flag? Those are Lao Nu's personal soldiers. Could it be that Lao Nu came to ambush him personally? It's not easy to deal with.
"Li Jingsheng, take a hundred cavalry to investigate. Be careful. If you encounter the main force of the slave soldiers, retreat quickly!"
"Liu Gang, take your three thousand cavalry and go around from behind the mountain road, hide yourself, and wait for an opportunity to fight behind Jian Nu!"
Fengji Fort is next to Hupiyi, and it is very familiar for the soldiers of Fengji Fort to move in this area.
"Send the order to inspect all war horses, armor, ordnance, and wait for my military orders."
At this time, Hupiyi had been attacked by Jiannu for nearly an hour, regardless of the cost. The Ming army's losses were getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to deploy all the troops on the city, and the Ming army was not Jiannu's at all.
opponent.
If it weren't for the protection of the city wall, Zhu Wanliang's more than 9,000 troops would have been wiped out long ago.
When Mang Gurtai saw that the Ming army continued to add troops to the left wing, he knew that the time had come and the city could only be broken in an instant, so he shouted an order:
"Bayala attacks!"
"It's the white-armored soldiers. The white-armored soldiers from Jiannu are here."
"Run quickly, the white-armored soldiers are coming. Run for your life."
The white-armored soldiers, who had nearly a thousand slaves, were wearing heavy armor. They even protected their faces with iron armor, leaving only their eyes and mouth exposed. Their horses were also covered with iron armor. They were truly armed to the teeth and were as powerful as a rainbow.
In the eyes of the Ming army, this was the King of Hell who was seeking life, and their fear of the white-armored soldiers was too deep.
"Kill the bright dog!"
Aha, who worshiped Yin, had already prepared everything for them. The white-armored soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city and climbed directly along the iron hooks. The waiting white-armored soldiers used bows and arrows to cover the city. As long as the Ming army showed up, they would shoot on the spot.
kill!
The swords and arrows of the Ming army could not break through Jiannu's three-layer heavy armor. Although the fire cannons could break through them, they were only powerful enough to injure them, and the Ming army's fire cannons were too bad and too few.
"Ah, come up, come up!"
After the white-armored soldiers came to the city, they held two swords in their hands and rushed wherever there were many people. Although there were many Ming soldiers, most of them did not dare to come forward and fight up close. The few Ming soldiers who had the courage could not defeat them at all.
Wang Zhi looked at more and more slave soldiers on the city. He knew that the city was broken, but he was unwilling to give in. He gathered dozens of Zhu Wanliang's servants and shouted with red eyes:
"Kill the slaves!"
After saying that, he raised his knife and rushed towards Jiannu. Unfortunately, the situation was over and Jiannu won.
Mang Gurtai looked at the door and said with a happy smile:
"Let's go and have fun inside with Ben Beile."
"Excuse me, my Majesty, Sanbeile has destroyed the Tiger Skin Station!"
"Hahahaha, okay, tell Sanbeile that all the despicable bright dogs in the city will be killed, no one will be left alive!"
