Chapter 542: The Temple Calculation of the Prairie Jackal and the Defeat of Guangning (5)
Huang Taiji, the assistant to the Qing Dynasty, stood on the chariot watching the battle in golden armor. The two thick black beards on his national face were repaired extremely neatly. Under the three-foot-long lightning rod on his helmet, were surrounded by red hat tassels. Huang Taiji was preparing to lead a 100,000 army to take down Shaling Post. The female real white flag sent 300 dead soldiers in siege, standing in front of the military formation wearing three layers of armor. These dead soldiers either held shields, held swords in both hands, and stared at the tall city walls of Shaling with bloodthirsty eyes.
Although the Jurchen soldiers were repeatedly defeated by the Posou Army, they were the incarnation of the Death God of Death to the Ming Dynasty. The defender who defended the Shalingyi Castle was Ningyuan's guarding Wang Yiquan. He took the initiative to ask Mangui to come to guard Shalingyi because Wang Yiquan was eager to die. It was not that Wang Yiquan was so loyal, but that his only son injured Zu Dashou's adopted son Zu Kefa in Ningyuan. According to the saying that Wang Yiquan's son Wang Chengyi should not provoke the Zu family, but he could not resist Zu Kefa and raped Wang Chengyi's beautiful wife.
Originally, Wang Chengyi wanted to endure this tone, but he did not know that Wang Chengyi's tolerance was regarded as weak and bullied by Zu Kefa. He actually took advantage of Wang Yiquan's follow-up to Ningyuan's army to inspect the castle in Ningyuan at that time, Yuan Chonghuan brought five servants to the door to Wang Chengyi's wife. Even if Wang Chengyi was a general, he was the general. When Zu Kefa happily pressed Wang Chengyi's wife on the table and stripped naked and performed the piston movement at high speed, Wang Chengyi pulled out his father's sword and led the servants to rush in. With the help of the servants, Wang Chengyi first killed the five servants of Zu Kefa, who was a general, but he did not expect that Zu Kefa, who was born in a military general, took this opportunity to jump out of the window and escape.
Wang Chengyi, who was red-eyed, threw a knife and injured Zuke Fa and jumped onto the wall of the courtyard. Zuke Fa, who escaped with the wound, certainly would not let go. He sent someone to kidnap Wang Chengyi, but also kidnap Wang Zhou, the wife of Wang Chengyi. As a result, Zuke Fa contacted several brothers and sent Wang Zhou in his family. Wang Zhou was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide by jumping into the well. Zuke Fa was still unhappy after Wang Zhou committed suicide and broke Wang Chengyi's legs. At that time, this incident caused a sensation in Ningyuan.
It is logical that this matter is not complicated. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the law of the ancestors, it should be sentenced to the death. This matter is complicated. The Ming Dynasty's slave-destroying slave Zhang Ping'an made a mess in Guangning. Those who know a little about military affairs guessed that the war in Liaodong was about to begin. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan would use his confidant Ning Yuan's vanguard Zu Dashou. As a result, a criminal case that was not complicated finally turned into a detailed case of the Jurchens assassination of the Ming guerrilla military case. Ning Yuan guarded Wang Yiquan, looking at his one-year-old grandson, thinking about his son who was still suffering in Ningyuan's prison, he was still crying without tears and nowhere to seek justice in the face of the flipped case.
Zu Dashou also knew that his adopted son Zu Kefa had done a bit too much, but the matter was getting more and more complicated, and even he, the general of the vanguard, was involved. If Zu Dashou had killed his relatives for the sake of justice, the end of the fate was that the foundation of the Zu family in Liaodong was completely destroyed. Because the nature of this matter was too bad, the opponent who wanted to take a ruthless attack on the Zu family would never miss this good opportunity. Zu Dashou forced himself to go into battle himself, listing the evidence that Wang Chengyi was a Jurchen spy, confirming Wang Chengyi's assassination of Zu Kefa.
Yuan Chonghuan, who knew the truth about the whole matter, in order to firmly control the confidant Zu Dashou, also sentenced Wang Chengyi to assassinate Zu Kefa in his conscience, and was preparing to report to the Ministry of Justice for the Emperor Gou Jueqiu to the Ministry of Justice. In fact, Yuan Chonghuan also knew that this matter could not be reached. Yuan Chonghuan also had a fierce opponent, Zhang Ping'an, who was the slave of the slave. If Zhang Ping'an caught the handle, the grassland fox wolf Zhang Ping'an bit people like a turtle without letting go. Yuan Chonghuan then made up his mind to discuss with Wang Yiquan. As long as Wang Yiquan goes to Xipingbao, Wang Shouyi will be released from prison, and the Zu family will no longer hold Wang Shouyi responsible.
The bottom line given by Yuan Chonghuan in this matter was that Wang Yiquan must fight to the death when the Jurchens attacked. If Wang Yiquan died in battle, not only would the court reward his son for his life. In order for his son to survive, Wang Yiquan chose to die without hesitation. When the Ponu Army captured Shaling Post, he was appointed as the garrison of Shaling Post by Yuan Chonghuan. Anyway, Wang Yiquan went there. When Wang Yiquan was facing the Jurchen army rolling in, he not only did not have any fear, but instead calmly directed his soldiers to use an iron pot to transform lead water to transport the "*" the city guard brought by Ponu Marquis.
Although Shalingyi Castle does not have a city gate, the arrow tower is the key points of the road. If the Jurchens cannot capture Shalingyi, the Jurchen cavalry will not be able to gallop on the road behind Shalingyi. When observing the enemy formation, Wang Yiquan paid great attention to the Han army flag Mingjie, the accomplice of the Jurchen Tartars, because only these Mingjies can use artillery. Wang Yiquan saw that the Jurchen Tartars arranged three 3,000 infantry phalanxes in the small area south of Shalingyi, and each phalanx was combined into a large phalanx.
There were two rows of shield players in front of the military formation, and the small square formation was covered with long siege ladders. This long staircase was a long staircase with cowhide covers in Jurchens. You could tell the Jurchens' tactics at first glance. Wang Yiquan had seen the "*" of the Possess Army with almost no effort to win the intact Shalingyi Castle. The terrain on the south side of Shalingyi was not wide, and the Jurchen army could not set up too large military formations. Looking at the Jurchen follow-up army like clouds and seas behind, although Wang Yiquan was already determined to be a benevolent, he was also frightened.
Huang Taiji, the assistant to the Qing Dynasty, came to the front line in person. He brought five hundred white-armored personal soldiers to watch the battle three miles south of Shaling Post. The three-zhang battle flag of the Qing Dynasty appeared in front of the Ming Dynasty for the first time. With the sound of fifty war drums and thunders, the Jurchen army's siege against Shaling Post officially started. "Tasha! Tasha! Tasha!" More than 100,000 people shouted a terrifying battle horn and resounded throughout the Shaling Battlefield. Huang Taiji rode a tall flower horse and pointed his horse whip hard at Shaling Post Castle. A thousand Jurchen archers rushed to the front of Shaling Post Castle under the leadership of Jialaezhen Hanzaboleguo.
Jurchen archers lined up three rows of horizontal formations and made a standard shooting posture for archery on the side. They took out ten four-foot long wolf-toothed arrows from their backpacks, and inserted one arrow into the soil under their feet. As Jialaezhen Hanzhaboleguo shouted, "Put...arrow! Let it go!" The black arrow clouds rushed straight into the wall of Shalingyi City. The Ming Dynasty official army hiding behind the battlements took out a shield to cover their heads, but the Jurchen wolf-toothed arrows were powerful and could directly pass through the wooden shield covered by cowhides, piercing through many Ming soldiers' arms holding shields.
These injured soldiers cursed the dark-hearted officials in Liaodong. They only knew that they would collect black money and deduct craftsmen's silver money, which made the shields that saved their lives so vulnerable. Under the cover of archers, three hundred female real white flags' best archers rushed out of the military formation. They were about to rush to twenty feet away from the city wall and kill the Ming army guarding the city at close range. The intense cannon sounded, urging the Jurchen army to attack the city. Huang Taiji made up his mind this time and sent the most powerful combat force of Zhengbaiqi to fight the Yala warriors, which was to take Shaling as fast as possible.
Although the Jurchens have won many battles against the Ming border troops for more than ten years, Huang Taiji would not be so arrogant that he used infantry to attack cavalry with the same number of people. Dorgon's angelic yellow flag was behind Shaling Post. Huang Taiji found through scouts that there were thousands of elite cavalry in the Ming official army. If the warriors in the Yellow Flag were too severely killed or injured, the confrontation with the Dorgon brothers who finally eased the opposition with the Dorgon brothers might be ruined. When the soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner rushed to Shaling Post on the long ladder of the siege, Huang Taiji was full of victory.
Wang Yiquan, the guard general of Shaling, saw hundreds of Jurchen archers twenty feet away through the battlement hole, and knew what the Jurchens were going to pull. The defender Wang Yiquan participated in the Ningyuan city defense battle. The Jurchens' attack method was the way to siege the city under the cover of the archers. As usual, the main force of the siege was the dead soldiers, and the ones who fixed the long ladders for the dead soldiers were the traitors of the Han army flag. While Wang Yiquan asked the Ming army soldiers to prepare to pour dark red lead juice, he also asked someone to open the "*" to defend the city from the Possess Army.
In addition to the cowhide roof, the Jurchen siege ladder also has a fixed iron hook at the front end. It is impossible for the defenders to use a bumper pole to push the long ladder. Although it is spring in Shalingyi, the freezing in the moat has not melted. More than 400 traitors carried wooden boards five meters long and half a sieve wide on their shoulders, rushed to the moat and quickly built fifty wooden bridges, allowing the subsequent siege troops to pass quickly. When the Jurchen siege troops approached the city wall, the three hundred archers standing at the forefront began to shoot precise arrows at the city wall.
The Jurchens had extremely high archery skills. They could shoot arrows from the arrow holes of the battlements and kill the Ming army behind the battlements. Just as the Ming army on the city wall was rushing to avoid the rain of arrows, the long ladder of the siege of the city was scrambling to cover the Shaling city wall. The Ming army was still preparing to pour lead juice into the city wall according to the habit of defending the city. However, the Jurchen archers immediately caught the Ming army that poses the greatest threat to the dead soldiers in the siege. They used wolf-tooth arrows to accurately shoot these Ming army holding iron pots of lead juice. In order to accurately pour lead juice to the enemy under the long ladder, these Ming soldiers had to expose their upper bodies between the battlements of the city wall, which gave the Jurchen archers a good opportunity.
Jurchen archers are superb, and the speeding wolf-tooth arrows accurately hit the throat and face of the Ming army. The Ming soldiers with boiling lead juice fell to the ground, and the hot lead juice fell over them, and a burnt stinking smell filled the city wall. Taking this opportunity, the female real white flag siege siege began to climb the long ladder quickly. The Ming army guarded the city fired tiger cannons at the city. However, the area of the scattered tiger cannons was too large, killing and injuring many Ming traits who supported the city siege for less than a moment. Many Jurchen soldiers covered with three layers of armor held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other hand, and had approached the edge of the Shalingyi City Wall. At this critical moment, the Ming army guarded the city saw that ordinary moves were not effective, so they ignited the "*" the city guarded the city's weapon sent by the Possess Army.
