Chapter 50 War Clouds Surging Blood Rain in Liaodong (4)

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said to Hu Ming: "You can choose another 500 people in the personal military camp. We will start practicing tomorrow. This is our secret weapon. It is better to only train brothers in the personal military camp! You will lead the team to the north mountain tomorrow and come back in the afternoon! Then you will cooperate with Zhang Li tomorrow night. I have to lead the team to the east gate, and I will go to the west gate!"

Hu Ming hesitated a little: "Little Boss! How about you stay in the coach's mansion?"

Zhang Ping'an shook his hand: "I will meet the old slave if I don't go, I'm unwilling to accept it! Damn it, I've been a slave for so long! I'm not finished with him in this life! Don't worry! I'll pay attention!"

After Zhang Ping'an sent Hu Ming away, he said to Long Xiucai, who was still cleaning the account book: "You should rest early too! Your health is important. Tomorrow night, you have to work harder! You have no place to go, so just sleep in the Shuai Mansion. Anyway, this place is big! But no one warms your bed for you! You old guy, don't think I don't know. You and the eldest sister named Zhao Qiong of my Shuai Mansion are all around. You are also spreading my flower affairs with Hu Ming all day long! After this battle, if the eldest sister of the Zhao family is willing to follow you, you can take her away! However, I warn you that she is from the Shuai Mansion. If you bully her or look down on her, don't blame me for being angry!"

Long Tao began to be a little moved by Zhang Ping'an's care. But when he heard Zhang Ping'an agree to Zhao Qiong and him, he immediately bowed deeply to Zhang Ping'an.

Zhang Ping'an smirked: "Hehehe, after the war tomorrow night, I will also make up a story. Let Ponucheng spread the story of you, an old pervert!"

....................................................

Zhang Ping'an slept until noon after having lunch with Wang Ermu and the others. He began to inspect the city defense under the leadership of his personal soldiers. However, his inspection was soon interrupted by Huang Wei's arrival.

Zhang Ping'an met Huang Wei at the South Gate Tower. Huang Wei said regardless of his fatigue: "Master! The defeated soldiers of the Qing Fort have been basically identified. There are 18,000 available soldiers. Their families are all in Guangning Prefecture. Li Chen said that he has sufficient troops there. He asked me to bring the headquarters and 8,000 new soldiers to strengthen Guangning and give 3,000 new soldiers to Dajing Fort. Three thousand to Taiping Fort, he left 4,000. The remaining ones were changed to auxiliary soldiers. The food from the Qing Fort was transferred to Dajing Fort for 150,000 stones. He also asked me to bring 10,000 auxiliary soldiers transformed from the defeated soldiers to listen to the dispatch of the general."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "You go and arrange your department's rest right away! There will be a big fight tonight. You and your brother cooperate!"

Huang Wei saluted: "Yes! The Grand Marshal!"

After seeing the North Gate Defense, Zhang Ping'an returned to the General's Mansion and said to Long Tao: "Scholar Long! You are in charge of the General's Mansion tonight! Huang Zhi's Ministry, Huang Wei's Ministry assists you. Remember, Huang Zhi's Ministry should not be used easily! Without my personal order, you must not be transferred! But if there is an emergency, you do not need to ask for instructions, just transfer it!"

Long Tao took the order solemnly: "Yes! Grand Marshal!"

Zhang Ping'an looked at the sky with full of expectations: "It's not dark yet!"

At the 24th day of the first year of Tianqi, Zhang Ping'an stood in the military field at the school and shouted to his brothers in the camp: "Tonight, the Jurchen Tartars will attack Guangning! We have killed too many Mongolian Tartars. Today, let's change the taste and see what the difference between the Jurchen Tartars. The Jurchen Tartars claimed that they were invincible! I think it was just a mess! When it comes to Yue Fei, Prince Yue beat their ancestors to the point of urination. It's just my little body that killed five of them one by one! Later, I and Deyin and killed more than twenty of them! If you don't leave three or five thousand of them today, I feel embarrassed! Brothers! Do you dare to fight?"

The veterans from the personal barracks shouted excitedly: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Zhang Ping'an waved his hand with satisfaction: "Brothers! Let me emphasize a few more points. First, protect these bottles and jars and don't let the fire get too close. Second, pay attention to the archers of the Jurchen Tartars. You are not allowed to look out the wall. Third, you can only throw these jars to places with ladders or crowded people. If you didn't hear the Ximen, I was not allowed to move around! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Grandmaster!"

Zhang Ping'an waved again: "Go!"

....................................................

Zhang Ping'an led 300 guards and more than 400 bomb-dropped soldiers to Ximen and said to Chen Pie: "How are you prepared?"

"Master, look!" Chen Pang pointed to the newly built inner city with his hand. Zhang Ping'an was very satisfied! This was built by the inner city built by Zhang Ping'an himself designed by 15,000 auxiliary soldiers in one day. The inner city had no exit, and the left and right length was seventy meters long, the wall was four meters high and three meters wide. His 300 soldiers were fully prepared with the cooperation of Chen Pang's troops.

Zhang Ping'an did not let people melt lead, nor did he prepare gold juice. The main reason was that he was afraid that the feces of the gold juice would be stinking, which scared the Tartars away. He wanted the Tartars to attack.

At the moment of Xu, the Jurchen Tatars began to feint attacks on the south and east sides of Guangning! Zhang Ping'an was not too worried because he strengthened all the 6,000 new recruits to the southeast. The war drums and trumpets that soared into the sky sounded from both sides.

Zhang Ping'an deliberately arranged two thousand auxiliary soldiers, each holding two torches. A quarter of an hour after the sound of the two sides suddenly broke out, and when there was no movement in the west, he ran towards the city wall on the south. There were few torches standing on the west gate.

At the third hour of You, a fight came from the West Gate. Soon three fires were lit, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the city gate opened. Zhang Ping'an still didn't see the Jurchen Tartars, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He looked out anxiously. Suddenly, the extremely dull sound of horse hooves rang out a hundred feet away.

It turned out that the Jurchens took advantage of the dull night to walk to less than a mile away from the city. After seeing the signal, they rode slowly and accelerated. Zhang Ping'an smiled at Chen Teng, and began to turn around and walk behind the Ximen Tower. His five personal soldiers, holding iron shields, surrounded Zhang Ping'an tightly. Zhang Ping'an pulled away his personal soldiers and looked at the city wall. Seeing that almost 2,000 Jurchen Tartar cavalry came in, he immediately ordered: "Pick up the suspension bridge! Blast these miscellaneous people to death!"

The bomb thrower among the personal soldiers first threw 150 earth* invented by Zhang Ping'an outside the city gate and in the suspension bridge. The effect was indeed good. He shaking and blasted the war horses and the Tartars on the horses. The others quickly ignited the fuses of the earth* and smashed them toward the Tartars in the inner city. The Jurchens raised their shields in vain, trying to block the shock waves of the explosion. The explosions everywhere around completely destroyed their dreams.

Zhang Ping'an saw that the earth * he invented was not very high because it was not standardized production, and the explosion rate was not very high. Only 30% had effect. Most of the Jurchen cavalry were unable to be killed, but were stunned. However, he did not have much worry. Today he prepared enough. More than 10,000 earth *, and in less than half an hour, no one of the Jurchen cavalry in the urn could stand up again.

Zhang Ping'an turned around and came to the gatehouse. Seeing more than 3,000 gathered outside the suspension bridge and wanted to rush in to rescue the trapped Tartars, the two yellow flags Jurchen cavalry sneered and ordered: "Beat the drum! Roar the horn! I want to see them flying in the sky!"

Soon, five loud noises exploded outside the west gate. This was the coffin buried by Zhang Ping'an outside the city. It was more than 3,000 kilograms. It not only blew up the Tartars outside the city, but also shattered the tower at the west gate, almost burying Zhang Ping'an alive.

Zhang Ping'an was dug out of the rubble by his personal soldiers and Chen Piao. He looked at Chen Piao with some silence and shouted at him, but his ears were buzzing by the loud noise just now. After a long time, he heard Chen Piao's concerning shouts.

Zhang Ping'an came to his senses and smiled at Chen Pie with a face: "Damn! I just remembered to give the order, but I forgot to cover my ears. It was a big loss!"

Seeing that Zhang Ping'an was fine, Chen Por breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Come on! Carry the general back! The Tartars have retreated this time. Just now, they have already blown the horn of retreating. You may not have heard it!"

Zhang Ping'an came over and shouted to the personal soldiers who wanted to carry him, "Go away! I am the general! What would everyone think if they saw me being carried!"

He first looked at the explosion spot outside the city, and saw countless Jurchen soldiers lying densely beside five big pits two meters square. The war horses that were overturned by the shock waves were unable to shake their limbs. Some Jurchens who were far away from the explosion spot completely lost their sense of direction and walked towards the city gate swayingly.

Zhang Ping'an said to Chen Poe: "According to the plan arranged before the war, drag the Tartars outside the city in! The dead beheaded and the alive tied up! Quickly clean up the battlefield! Pay attention to the Tartars' counterattack!"

Zhang Ping'an was actually too careful. The big explosion just now made all the Jurchens' war horses flee. The Jurchens' troops attacked at Ximen gradually gathered together after 20 miles of escape. Nurhaci spent two hours to reorganize the troops before sending scouts to investigate the situation of the war. At this time, Chen Poe and the others had already cleaned the battlefield.

Zhang Ping'an initially looked at the battlefield situation and turned to Chen Teng and said, "I know you are good to me! But I'm fine, find some water! I'll wash my face. Then go to the other doors to see! You go to the underworld to see if there is any living? If there is, leave it to Hu Ming! Remember, be careful when exploring, first clean up a piece of place, and then explore one by one by one. Don't hurt brothers because of the investigation! In this battle, our Ximen has not yet died!"
