Chapter 256 Li Yan and the Red Lady(2/2)
"Li Zicheng's territory was established with Yanzhou to the south and Xiazhou to the north."
Zhang Hua divided Li Zicheng's territory into two, Yanzhou was mainly managed by Chang'an's dispatched officials and troops, while Xiazhou and the three towns in the north were guarded by Gao Guiying's Dashun Army. It was considered a semi-independent small kingdom and was also a night watchman who helped Zhang Hua guard the north.
The Dashun Army surrendered in an established manner and enjoyed preferential treatment to a certain extent.
"Li Zicheng's threat was lifted. It was originally used to prevent Li Zicheng's troops, and perhaps he would go to support Sun Ce in the past."
Zhang Hua used the live army to guard against Li Zicheng.
Now that Li Zicheng's Dashun Army surrenders, the beggar army can be transferred to other places.
After Nurhaci took action in Xingyang Town, the offensive and defense became even more tragic. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed. Under Xingyang Town, there was a sea of corpses and blood.
Nurhaci's pressure made the Xingyang Town garrison enter a state of fear. The clouds were covered with miserable clouds, and the stone walls of Xingyang Town turned into blood.
The five ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty personally led the Eight Banners Army to attack the city, and the Eight Banners generals climbed the city one after another and fought with the Xia army generals such as Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, and Qibian Heli.
A long sword was knocked away, and Obai, who was as tall as a wild boar, held a big sword and slashed Zhang Huangyan's sword.
Zhang Huangyan's force was not enough in front of Oboi, and he was easily defeated by Oboi.
Martial power is not Zhang Huangyan’s strength.
"Zhang Huangyan, you have been enemies with us many times, and today you will definitely kill your head!"
Oboi recognized Zhang Huangyan, who was enemies with his group, and wanted to kill him.
"Wild Boar Skin, even if I die, I will not let you go!"
Zhang Huangyan knew that his force was inferior to Oboi, but his momentum was not showing any weakness!
"Damn it!"
When Obai heard Zhang Huangyan cursing, he was even more furious and slashed at Zhang Huangyan with a big knife!
Oboi's sword was so powerful that the blade buzzed, captivating the heart!
If Zhang Huangyan was slashed by Oboi, he might have been divided into two parts!
Zhang Huangyan pulled his neck and killed him, and a fierce general stabbed him out of a horse spear, blocking Zhang Huangyan's fatal knife.
clang!
When two weapons collided, even Oboi's body was shocked.
"General Qibi Heli!"
Zhang Huangyan saw clearly that the person who saved him was the Tang Dynasty general Qi Bi Heli.
"The war has not ended yet, why did sir give up?"
Qi Bi Heli became more and more courageous as he fought, standing in the sea of corpses and blood on the city wall, fighting to the death with Obai.
The 200,000 army of the Later Jin Dynasty besieged Xingyang Town and used stone catapults, crossbows, siege towers, and well railings to destroy the city walls of Xingyang Town.
Many city walls in Xingyang Town were completely bombarded by catapults and had collapsed, revealing the bare rammed earth layer inside the bricks.
Fan Zhongyan organized craftsmen to erect wooden fences behind the collapsed city wall section to block the gap, and then built a second city wall inside to prevent the Eight Banners cavalry from breaking into the city.
There was not yet collapsed section of the city wall, and the stone walls were covered with scratches of swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Qibing Heli led the Mingguang armored heavy infantry to fight with the Eight Banners who were climbing the city on the broken city wall. The bodies of soldiers who died in battle could be seen everywhere in the corridor.
"You can't defeat me!"
Oboi roared to the sky and released the realm of fear. The defenders who were less than a hundred steps away from Oboi were all in panic and all their abilities were declining.
In the unfavorable situation, Qibian Heli still had to fight fiercely with Obai.
"I want to save my life..."
Under the pressure of Dorgon, Wu Sangui had to climb the city himself.
Wu Sangui himself was also a powerful general, otherwise he would not be able to guard Shanhaiguan.
But Wu Sangui didn't want to show his own force, but just symbolically cut down a few defenders to prevent the fierce generals in the defenders from being transferred to deal with him.
Wu Sangui was thinking about how to save his life.
As for loyalty, no life matters.
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi had the same idea as Wu Sangui. They did not work but did not work. They just slashed a few symbolically, and then let a group of personal soldiers rush in front.
Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Ajige and other Later Jin Beile and a group of generals and generals, Niu Lu became much more brave. This was to conquer the world for themselves, and his attitude was completely different. He continued to climb the city wall and killed and injured the defenders as much as possible!
Ajig ascended the city wall, danced wildly with a big sword, and killed several commanders of the Luozhou Legion, and was brave enough to be the one.
Huang Taiji was also a military general who had been fighting since childhood and dared to charge into battle, and his military strength was not much lower.
Huang Taiji, under the escort of a group of white-armored soldiers, killed dozens of people.
"Die!"
The defenders who were forced into danger found that more and more Eight Banners troops climbed the city wall and actually aimed the crossbow at the corridor.
In the terrified eyes of the Eight Banners Army, the bed crossbow fired, and spear-like crossbow arrows penetrated more than a dozen Eight Banners Army!
One of the white-armored soldiers could not stop the terrifying power of the large bed crossbow. More than a dozen Eight Banners soldiers were strung into a row like candied haws!
"Get me the crossbow turret!"
After Huang Taiji discovered that the defenders began to use bed crossbows to clean the Eight Banners Army that had climbed the city, they were angry because of the heavy losses and ordered the Eight Banners Army under their command to attack the defenders who controlled the bed crossbows.
laugh!
Another arrow, more than a dozen Eight Banners troops were penetrated, and one line fell down, and the stone walls on both sides of the city wall were splashed with blood!
"Protect the bed crossbow!"
There were melee soldiers guarding the crossbows on the left and right. Seeing the Eight Banners Army coming to attack, they forced them to retreat with their guns.
"Sir, fight against the 200,000 army with 50,000 or 60,000 troops. If there are 100 good generals on the other side, Xingyang Town will sooner or later be lost."
The lieutenant who defended the city gates in Xingyang Town asked Fan Zhongyan for emergency, thinking it was difficult to defend.
Fan Zhongyan's elegant face was blackened by the thick smoke caused by the war, but he said slowly: "We still have reinforcements."
"drive!"
"kill!"
When the 200,000 troops of the Later Jin Kingdom attacked the city with all their might, Li Ji's 16 Guards finally arrived, with Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda as the vanguard general, and Zhu Tu, the place where the Later Jin army deployed siege equipment!
"You Grandpa Cheng is here!"
Cheng Yaojin yelled excitedly, and the axe fell, and a Niu Lu's head flew up!
"The power of the Nine Ox will bless me!"
Niu Jinda held a horse spear and pierced the Eight Banners soldiers along the way!
Xiong Qujun from the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty roared, waved axe, and chopped the Eight Banners.
Behind the rear were Li Ji's cavalry, who advanced straight in.
Some cavalry held torches in their hands and threw them into the siege tower of the Eight Banners Army, causing a fire!
Chapter completed!
