Chapter 395: Manchurian Pit, Anshan City Destroyed
"Go, go quickly, don't look back!"
Outside Fuzhou Pan Castle, more than 400 Manchurians were driven forward numbly by more than 100 Ming troops on horseback. They did not know where these Ming troops were going to send them. Walking at the end
In the front were dozens of young and strong bannermen, followed by the old, weak, women and children. There were not many eight banners garrisoned in Pan Castle, and the Ming cavalry came suddenly. They did not even organize a resistance before they were rushed into the fort by the Ming army, who led Ada in the battle.
After their death, they became prisoners of the Ming army.
On both sides of the team, there were dozens of Han men who had been in the fort, and they kept scolding them with swords and whips.
"Mom, where do you want us to go?"
In the crowd, a Manchu child couldn't help but look back and carefully looked around. Seeing that the Han Aha didn't notice him, he gently pulled Aniang who was walking in front.
"Aha?" E Niang smiled bitterly, touched her son's head sympathetically, and shook her head, "E Niang doesn't know either."
"Shh, don't talk, the Ming army will kill people." An old Manchu woman nearby reminded the mother and son that the people holding knives were not just the Han people working in the fort, Aha, there were more
It was an army from the Ming Dynasty in the south.
"Ming Jun?" The child glanced at his mother a little confused, but the mother did not speak. She just sighed and then walked forward silently, holding her son's hand.
"Mom, where's Amma?"[
Her son's new question made the Manchurian woman's eyes red. She didn't know how to tell her son where his Amma had gone, because her husband's head was hanging on the back of a Ming army's horse not far away.
"We're here, stop!"
In front, a Han man shouted, and with his cry, the team stopped, but the young men in front suddenly started to make a commotion, which attracted the Ming army and the Han Aha to scold and whip them.
"Mother, what happened?"
"My mother doesn't know either."
The Manchu women didn't know what was happening in front of them. They could only hear the Manchu men in front yelling and cursing something, mixed with wailing, and it was noisy. They didn't know what had happened.
Not long after, the team started moving again, and after walking a few dozen steps forward, the Manchurian woman realized that the road ahead seemed to be going downhill, because everyone in front of her had disappeared from her sight.
Where exactly are the Ming troops going to take us?
The Manchurian woman continued to move forward with the crowd in confusion. When she could see what kind of road was down the slope, she stayed there.
There is no road ahead, just a natural depression.
The pit was crowded with Manchurians, men, women, old and young, so densely packed that I don’t know how many there were.
The pit was surrounded by Ming troops holding firecrackers.
…………
The first ones to rush into Anshan City were the dead soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mongolia who were stationed in Gaizhou. The one who rushed at the front was Zuo Ling Deqing. After Gaizhou was broken by the Jinzhou Army, he and more than 120 Mongolian soldiers under his command formed an army.
He was captured by the Jinzhou Army and immediately became a dead soldier of the Jinzhou Army attacking various cities and fortresses.
Death soldiers, which means those who must die, are mostly the first group to attack when the army rushes into battle. They often bear the enemy's most violent counterattacks, so there is little hope of survival. Therefore, most of those selected as death soldiers are prisoners.
and slaves, as well as a small number of those who violated military law and worked for huge sums of money. Now, these Mongolian flag soldiers who took the initiative to attack the city for the Jinzhou Army in order to survive have become dead soldiers.[
Not everyone wants to be a dead soldier, but once they become a dead soldier, a dead soldier can only obey the fate. In the eyes of these Mongolians, their fate after going into battle is just to die early or die late. No one has thought about it.
Escape and resist, because they know this is impossible. Instead of being executed immediately by the Jinzhou Army, it is better to fight with their heads raised. No matter how bad it is, they will just die, but at least they can finally eat beef and mutton before they die.
A big meal. If you don’t starve to death, it can be considered a good death.
Before the war, Deqing and these Mongolian soldiers thought that this siege would be fatal, because they did not know that the Jinzhou Army had powerful siege firepower. They only knew that they would risk their lives to climb the wall of Anshan City. (Gaizhou City's Gaizhou City)
After the fall, the Jinzhou Army did not attack by force, but used the captured Han army flags to deceive the city)
Therefore, even the Mongolians with the most optimistic ideas were expressionless when waiting for the order to attack. They squatted on the ground without saying a word, mechanically putting large pieces of beef and mutton into their mouths, even if it was
Their stomachs couldn't hold it anymore, so they still stuffed it into their mouths. The longer they got there, the faster the beef and mutton went into their stomachs, because the Mongolians didn't even bother to chew, so they just gobbled it up with the skin on.
stomach.
The surrounding Jinzhou soldiers looked at these Mongolians with sympathy and contempt, as if they were reincarnations of starving ghosts. The officers seemed to be looking at a group of dead corpses, glancing at them absentmindedly, and then minding their own business.
He raised his head and looked forward.
The sudden roar made the Mongolians stop stuffing food into their mouths. They stood up numbly and then saw an exciting scene.
The city gate was blown open!
Deqing shouted as if he had seen a ghost, which made the Mongolians who did not want to die see the hope of life, and their bodies froze as if convulsed!
As Deqing can serve as an assistant leader, his chance of seizing the opportunity is naturally better than that of ordinary soldiers. What happened in front of them made them extremely surprised. With such a big breach, a fool knows that if he doesn't rush at this time, there will be no next time.
With a few roars, the Mongols swarmed towards the gap.
The Jin army in the city was obviously shaken out of their wits by the Jinzhou Army's artillery fire. Before they had time to react, the enemy's dark heads had already rushed into the city.
The sky in the east is still fish-belly white, but the city is now ablaze with fire, and the dazzling firelight embellishes Anshan into a city that never sleeps.
The order to leave no one behind was executed meticulously by the Jinzhou Army who rushed into the city. As long as the Jinzhou Army saw someone on the opposite side, they would fire a blunderbuss from afar without asking, and then dozens or hundreds of people would attack.
He rushed forward, whether he was alive or dead, and cut them all with a few cuts.
The Jinzhou Army's superiority in strength prevented the hundreds of Jin troops defending the city from responding. They could only fight independently and carry out spontaneous resistance.
After the 2,000 and 3,000 households of the infantry left camp entered the city, they did not talk about any tactics or tactics. They just rushed and ransacked all over the city. Wherever they passed, there were only corpses.
The entire house was brutally kicked open, and the Jinzhou Army who rushed into the house killed every Manchu man they saw, and then brutally dragged the Manchu women out.
Due to military orders, the Jin army was not allowed to touch those Manchu women until the resistance was over. Therefore, the flag that captured the Manchu women often left two soldiers to watch, while the others continued to sweep forward with the brigade.
In the chaos, it was inevitable that Han people would be accidentally killed, but he couldn't care less. Dayong hated the city where he stayed for three days. He vowed to let the people in the city know the consequences of resisting the Ming army!
