Chapter 6: Night Battle in Jinzhou (1)

The Jin Dynasty had more than 20,000 defenders in Jinzhou. Huang Taiji was defeated and lost more than 30,000 elite troops, including nearly 20,000 elite cavalry. He also had to divide his troops to guard Tashan, Heishan and Xingshan. In this way, it was not easy to raise more than 20,000 troops for Ajige who was left in Jinzhou.

Man Gui's harassing tactics played a role, forcing Ajige to separate some troops to defend the three city gates of the south, north and east. The Xicheng Gate of He Yougang and the three people suddenly arrived. The pressure on his shoulders was much lighter. With Wu Sangui's intelligence, he immediately saw some clues. There were only more than a thousand people left by his side. How could the Jin army suddenly relieve the pressure at this time? The only explanation was that the reinforcements arrived, but there were no reinforcements and soldiers at the Xicheng Gate. He immediately understood that the reinforcements must have insufficient troops, and forced rescue would have fallen into it. He would definitely use harassing tactics to attack the other three gates. Yan Peiwei observed that the Jin army, which was originally attacked inside and outside, hurriedly left, which further proved Wu Sangui's conjecture. He immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill!"

The remaining more than a thousand people heard the arrival of reinforcements, and immediately became very morale and fighting spirit. They actually took a little bit of disadvantage and turned into a fist. Wherever there was someone falling down, someone would make up for it. The bloody battle was unretreated, which made the Eight Banners Braided Soldiers who believed they were brave and regained the Ming soldiers who had always regarded as soft-boys in their eyes.

The sun was sunk, and a short day was about to pass, but Jinzhou was still burning in the fire of fighting. At this moment, the Xicheng Gate had become a purgatory on earth. Not only the Ming soldiers were exhausted, but the elite Eight Banners soldiers were also exhausted. Ajige never thought that the total number of opponent's troops was less than 5,000, and now only one thousand were left. He could still hold on until dark under the siege of several times his troops. Where did this Ming army come from? Why is it so powerful in combat? Although Ajige fought with Wu Sangui and was captured by Wu Sangui himself, he was all captured by the opponent's treacherous plan and had to fight. He always thought that the Ming army was vulnerable. Unexpectedly, there was such an army in the Ming army that was so powerful that it could rival the Eight Banners soldiers. How could he not be confused?

Cao Wenzhao was also a tiger general. He led 1,500 soldiers and followed Man Gui's instructions and followed Zuo Liangyu who was harassing the south gate. According to the route, Zuo Liangyu should be the first to reach the target south gate and launch an attack. In this way, half of the Jin soldiers outside the city attacked inside and outside the west gate would inevitably split into half to rush to the south gate to rescue the south gate. Then the part of the Jin soldiers who were waiting for, with Zuo Liangyu's cooperation, wiped out the Jin army, and then rushed to the east gate and raided the east gate. Man Gui also led his army to the north gate. In this way, all the troops who went to rescue the south gate were wiped out. The Ming army attacked the city at four gates. Ajige would definitely have the judgment that Jinzhou was besieged by the Ming army, so he naturally did not dare to take the initiative to enter.

Attack, because he had only a little force in his hands, he had to drive out the Ming army that had already broken into the west gate. The troops were even more stretched, and the people in the city began to become restless. They were originally the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they were ruled by the Jin people to survive. Now that the imperial army has been fighting, it will not cause more chaos for the Jin dog. For a moment, the city of Jinzhou was in chaos, and the news of Jin people being killed constantly reached Ajige's ears. He was so anxious that he was at a loss. On the one hand, he ordered the Jinzhou ban to issue an order, and on the other hand, the Jin people in the city were gathered. The time, the place, and the people were not in the hands of Ajige. With strong city defense, the brave soldiers might not be able to defend Jinzhou.

The sky gradually darkened. Except for the Xicheng Gate, there were only a few sounds of swords and guns from the other three city gates. Ajige had already determined that Jinzhou was surrounded. Although he had already sent a messenger for rescue, reinforcements would not arrive at at least tomorrow morning. So tonight was the key. After guarding tonight, he would defend Jinzhou.

Although Ajige lost his standard in some judgments, he was still not bad at this point. The largest city from Jinzhou was Liaoyang, where nearly 50,000 elite troops from Later Jin were stationed. Huang Taiji did not pursue the defeat at the Taishan Customs Pass of Sanbeile Mangur. Although he knew that Mangurtai had always been dissatisfied with him, he still handed over the important task of defending Liaoyang to him. At the same time, he arranged for Ming surrendered generals and his son Li Yongfang to be his deputy. Under his command were even more powerful generals like Yuetuo, Suksaha, and Oboi. After receiving Ajige's urgent letter of help, Mangurtai was shocked and quickly summoned the generals to discuss. Finally, he decided to let Yuetuo lead a 15,000 army to Jinzhou. At the same time, Suksaha and Oboi led three thousand elite cavalry to take the lead and rushed to Jinzhou without stopping.

Xiong Tingbi led a 25,000 army and rushed to the road desperately. Finally, he saw the city blocks of Jinzhou before dark. From the telescope, Xiong Tingbi saw the fire on the west gate of Jinzhou. When he came with the wind, he could still hear the sound of a knife slashing. As he came over, Xiong Tingbi did not see any soldiers and soldiers under He Yougang and Man Gui. He was anxious and thought that these two armies had been wiped out. But he knew that they had persisted in Jinzhou for a day and felt relieved.

"Tell me the order and attack me at all costs!" Xiong Tingbi immediately issued a combat order.

"kill……"

Zhao Rujiao has completely changed since the battle of Ningyuan. He always leads the way in the battle, and is no longer the verbal general who only knows how to be clever and only pleases the head coach to get promotion.

The night battle in Jinzhou finally kicked off with a gorgeous start.

"The army is coming, the army is coming!" Yan Peiwei, who had been commanding and holding on the west city gate for a day, saw the army like a tiger going down the mountain. He tore the Later Jin army, who had been fighting with the city gate for a day, and burst into tears. He was so excited that he burst into tears. Originally, even if the five thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry were injured, it would be good that he could get a thousand of them now.

"You Shilu!"

"The mark is here!" Zhao Rui's great achievements in leading the army into Jinzhou were snatched by Zhao Lu. He was depressed when he suddenly heard Xiong Tingbi calling his name and immediately stepped forward in surprise.

"I ordered you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers around Jinzhou City and march towards Liaoyang overnight. Remember, it is not to let you attack Liaoyang, but to let you lay mines for me on the road from Liaoyang to Jinzhou to block the enemy's reinforcements!" Although Xiong Tingbi was sure to take Jinzhou before dawn, he should not be careless. If any incident occurs, it should not be a problem to block the enemy for a long time with these 5,000 elite soldiers.

"Receive the order!" You Shilu immediately became like a frost-beating eggplant, and suddenly became wilted, and said reluctantly.

"You Shilu, the key to whether you can take down Jinzhou is you. If you can drag out reinforcements from the Jin soldiers, you will give me time to attack Jinzhou. Don't think that this general is biased towards Zhao Lujiao, and give him the opportunity to make great contributions!" Xiong Tingbi's army for many years, but he could not see the emotional changes of his subordinates, so he immediately corrected it.
