"Commander, something is wrong. The last time we went out of the city, the slaves bombarded me. Why did they let me out this time? There were no golden soldiers to stop me, which is strange."
After leaving the city, Liu Tianlu and Zhang Cunren couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw that the Jin army had not fired artillery, and there were no Jin soldiers guarding outside the trench in front. After hesitation, fearing that they might be ambushed, they both stopped, wanting to see the situation clearly before taking action.
"Hong Taiding mobilized troops to resist because of the arrival of my reinforcements, but he didn't expect that my ancestor Dashou would have the courage to come out of the city after being trapped for so long, so he gave me an opportunity to take advantage of it! Don't worry,
Hong Tai only has tens of thousands of people in his hands, how can he really set up a dragnet to trap us to death!"
Zu Dashou was eager to join the reinforcements. He couldn't ask for it if the Jin army didn't fire artillery, so he didn't think about it. He was really trapped and anxious, and the idea of escape from the siege occupied his entire brain, so that he didn't notice anything strange at all.
[
Zu Zerun, who was following his father, looked toward the northeast and shouted: "How many cannons can Jian Nu have? They will definitely be deployed to bomb our reinforcements. Father, we'd better fill in the ditch quickly.
Quickly meet up with the reinforcements! Otherwise, Jiannu will send out troops to stop me, and we will not be able to charge forward."
"Yes, that's right! We have to fill the ditch before Jiannu finds out!"
Zu Dashou nodded in agreement, raised his hand and said to the generals: "Life and death are fought here, generals must not be cowardly, otherwise, we will die and be buried!"
"But listen to Commander Zu's orders!"
The generals immediately responded with great joy. Although Liu Tianlu and Zhang Cunren had doubts in their minds, the artillery fire was raging in the east and the shouts of killing were shaking. It did not seem to be false. It must be the Jin army fighting with the reinforcements. At this moment, if they did not take advantage of the Jin army's spare time, they would rush in.
After going out, there will be no chance to meet up with the reinforcements. But I am still worried in my heart, but I have already come here, is it possible to turn around and go back? Commander Zu is right, life and death will be fought here, no matter whether the reinforcements are real
Even if it’s fake, you still have to raise your head to find out!
Han Daxun led a thousand soldiers carrying sacks to dig soil on the spot, while the rest of the troops covered the area on the left and right.
There were four trenches dug by the Jin army, which were surrounded by the city and were dozens of miles long. However, Zu Dashou only needed to be able to rush out, so Han Daxun's troops only needed to fill in the trenches in front of them. In this way, it was naturally not very troublesome, plus the Jin army
Because of the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army, the army fought fiercely, and Fa's clone came to stop the ancestors, so soon the trench was filled in to create a wide road that was more than ten feet long.
"Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
After the trench was filled, Zu Dashou couldn't wait to order the whole army to fight eastward, leading the troops at the forefront.
"Kill!"
The six thousand Liaodong soldiers who saw their way out all fought bravely and rushed forward with the flag of their ancestor's birthday.
On the top of the city, He Kegang cried with joy when he saw Zu Dashou rushing out. He urgently ordered Liu Yuying, Dou Mingde, and Zu Kefa to lead three thousand soldiers out of the city to save the filled trench. By then, if the reinforcements were victorious, they could join the larger army.
Return to the city; if the reinforcements fail, you can also organize the soldiers and civilians in the city to break out.
After Zu Dashou led his troops to rush forward two miles, he saw the reinforcements fighting the Jin army. The battlefield was full of corpses. At this time, Zu Dashou completely calmed down, and Liu Tianlu and Zhang Cunren no longer worried.
.The morale of everyone above and below was greatly boosted, and they marched forward bravely, hoping to meet up with the reinforcements.
Zu's troops had entered the ambush area, and the Zhengbai Banner of the Jin army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over to kill them under the leadership of the flag leader Dorgon. After Zu's troops engaged with them, Dorgon followed Huang Taiji's will, pretended to be incompetent, and led his troops to attack.
All around were defeated.
Seeing the Jin army's defeat, cheers suddenly erupted inside and outside the city.
The Jin army that was fighting Ming army reinforcements in front also collapsed. The reinforcements also saw the Zu troops here, and immediately the whole army rushed over. Seeing that they were about to join the reinforcements, Zu Dashou couldn't help but be overjoyed: The siege to the east was lifted.
, the Daling River is worried!
He happily waved his hands to his two sons: "Zerun, Zechuan, lead my servants forward to meet the reinforcements!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the reinforcements on the opposite side suddenly fired thousands of arrows at his formation. Suddenly, the unsuspecting soldiers of the ancestors were hit by arrows one after another. At least half of the thousand soldiers and horses in the van were hit by arrows.
The sudden blow surprised the officers and soldiers of the Zu tribe, and everyone was stunned. Zu Zechuan, who was almost hit by an arrow, was even more angry and cursed: "Damn it, you are so blind, how could this arrow hit your home?"
Cum on people!"[
When he raised his eyes, he saw his father standing there with a blank look on his face. In an instant, he came to his senses and shouted out loud: "Father, we have been fooled by Mrs. Hong!"
When the reinforcements were shooting arrows, Zu Dashou knew that he had been fooled. As Zu Zechuan shouted, the flags of the opposite army had been changed to the Eight Banners with yellow and blue colors. Those wearing Ming Army cotton armor and Ming Army armor on their heads
The so-called reinforcements suddenly transformed into Eight Banners soldiers with money and rat tails!
What makes people even more angry is that all the dead bodies that were lying on the ground started to move and started to kill them with evil smiles.
When Zu Dashou woke up, he was filled with despair. For a moment, he just wanted to die.
In front of them were the three banners of the Jin Army: Zhengyang, Xiangyang, and Xianglan. The left wing attacked the previously defeated Zhengbai flag, and the right wing rushed towards the Xiangbai flag. Only the return route was not cut off for the time being.
In a panic, Liu Tianlu hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
"Father, withdraw, otherwise it will be too late!"
Zu Zerun was eager to save his father, so he led his two younger brothers and the servants to set up Zu Dashou and retreated.
The Jin army had already surrounded them and finally managed to trick Zu Dashou out of the city. How could Huang Taiji allow him to escape?
The anger of Mang Gurtai was vented on the Ming army. Huang Taiji personally led the three flags of the positive yellow flag, the bordered yellow flag, and the bordered blue flag to attack the forward of the Zu tribe, intending to defeat the Zu tribe in one fell swoop.
Dorgon led the two generals Tu Lai and Yang Guli to continuously attack the left wing of the Zu tribe. Dorgon was brave and brave, killing several times back and forth in the formation, only to make the Ming army cry for father and mother.
Zu Dashou also reacted at this time, holding a big sword and killing the enemy with all his strength. Liu Tianlu, Zhang Cunren and other generals also led the remaining troops to move closer to him.
Huang Taiji immediately saw Zu Dashou, laughed loudly, and gave the order not to shoot arrows, but to capture Zu Dashou alive.
The Jin army suddenly stopped firing arrows and heard someone speaking in Chinese saying that they wanted to capture Zu Dashou alive. Zu Dashou immediately had an idea and hurriedly led his three sons to run towards the road. The Liaodong soldiers who were resisting saw that the commander had run away and they were too busy.
They all followed and started running. In this way, the entire army was exposed under the eyes of Jin Jun.
Everyone is running, no one is behind them, the competition is just about whose legs are faster.
When Huang Taiji saw Zu Dashou running towards Daling River City, he couldn't help but resent Mang Gurtai. If he hadn't done it, the back road would have been blocked by Zhenglan Banner. How could Zu Dashou still be alive?
A way out!
However, less than half of the remaining soldiers and horses of the Zu tribe were defeated, and the Eight Banners participated in the battle with 20,000 people. How could two legs outrun four legs?
Huang Taiji urgently ordered the white flag to be planted over, cutting off Zu Dashou's return route.
After Duo Duo heard the order, he immediately led a thousand cavalry towards Zu's rear formation. Unexpectedly, he encountered 3,000 Ming troops led by Liu Yuying, Dou Mingde and Zu Kefa who were leaving the city. Seeing that Zu's longevity was in danger, Liu Zu and three others were in a hurry.
After ordering the muskets to be fired, three thousand firearms soldiers relied on the ditch to hold the position. For a while, many stations did not dare to approach. Zu Dashou took advantage of the situation and led the remaining troops to quickly retreat through the ditch and fled back to the city in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji sighed sadly. He could have captured Zu Dashou alive, but now he was allowed to escape. No matter what, Mang Gurtai must settle this account!
After returning to the city, after counting, 6,000 soldiers left the city, and only less than 2,000 came back. Most of them were buried outside the city. Zu Dashou sighed with hatred and ordered the generals not to trust any reinforcements in the future, unless the reinforcements arrived.
Under the city, otherwise no one would go out, so he put his hands behind his back and left. He was really discouraged. He thought he could escape, but he unexpectedly returned to the desperate place of Daling River, thinking of the tragedies that happened every day.
, thinking of the delayed arrival of reinforcements, the forward commander was completely despairing.
