Chapter 606: Thousands of Miles of Battlefield, Thousands of Miles of Blood and Flames (12)

A large area of ​​fire in the sky at dusk was particularly conspicuous, and Zunhua City, shrouded by the golden light of the sunset, was even more solemn. At this time, Zunhua City surrounded by the Jurchen army was panicked. Governor Wang Yuanya stood in red official uniform on the east gate arrow tower and looked at the enemy outside the city with a heavy expression. In front of him was a red ocean, and 30,000 female real red flags were camping with the cooperation of 40,000 Han troops inlaid with red flags. Tens of thousands of enemy troops were in formation under the city. The terrifying formation of the enemy made Wang Yuanya feel frightened. There were also eight thousand people fleeing from nearby Zunhua City, and more than one hundred thousand people from Zunhua, the original residents, Zunhua, would face 200,000 vicious enemies.

Zunhua, as the gateway to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was only more than 300 miles away from the capital. Since its capital was established, Sun Chengzong, the former master of the Ming Dynasty, specially strengthened the defense of Ji Town, saying that Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Pounds, once predicted that if the Jurchens broke through the border, they would definitely start from Ji Town. However, after Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ji Liao, took office, there was a shortage of food and salary in Ji Town. Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of pacifying Liao in the fifth year made the food and salary tilt towards Liao Town. The Liao Town official army was arrogant and would make money without taking money in March. However, Ji Town had been owed for two years, and the last time the salary the officers and soldiers received was still the owed money in the seventh year of Tianqi.

Faced with the injustice of Yuan Chonghuan, the Jizhen army's officers and soldiers only had a riot last month. As a result, Yuan Chonghuan ignored the suffering of Jizhen officers and soldiers and transferred the Zhao Zhijiao cavalry stationed in Jizhen to Ningyuan to suppress the riots. Jizhen, which was already empty, had a large army that could be moved. Faced with the Jurchen army with strong combat power, the Jizhen army, which had originally had a dangerous pass, had no intention of fighting. In just three or four days, the dangerous passes of Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, and Hongshankou were broken through by the Jiannu army in turn.

Although Wang Yuanya is a civil servant, the responsibility for losing the city gate is enough to kill him. For this reason, Wang Yuanya was also prepared to sacrifice his life for the country early. Once the city defense in Zunhua is broken, he will die with his wife. He was just worried about his thirteen-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter. What Wang Yuanya regrets the most is that he did not transfer the child early. However, there is a warehouse in Zunhua that seems to have taken great care of his children's safety, saying that putting the child in the Wufu Warehouse might be able to escape this military disaster.

With the mentality of being a dead horse as a living horse, Wang Yuanya sent his two children to the Wufu Zunhua warehouse. He was a little unbelievable. He could fight against hundreds of thousands of Jiannu with just 20 Wufu Guys. However, the Jurchen Jiannu had completely surrounded Zunhua City. Since he couldn't even leave the city, he would check on Huangquan Road to see if the children could meet on the road. Zunhua City was not big, and there were only more than 3,000 officers and soldiers guarding the city. Wang Yuanya was not sure how long Zunhua City could last.

At this moment, his hands came down to report that more than ten guards of Wufu Ware Store wanted to break out of the west gate. This news surprised Wang Yuanya. He hurried to the west gate and saw more than ten black armored cavalry guarding seventeen or eighteen riders waiting in the city gate with his two children. His child was tied up with ropes by the young and strong men of Wufu Ware Store and looked around on the horse's back with panic. When the children saw their father coming, they cried.

Wang Yuanya saw the leader guard wearing black armor of the Breaking Slave Army, with three silver wolf heads embroidered on his chest, and behind this leader guard was a three-foot slave battle flag. Each armor-piercing guard held a cavalry rifle, a musket behind him, two four-foot combat knives hung on the saddle bridge, and a three-foot waist knife inserted around his waist. The silver skull-face armor was intimidating. The guards with the child wrapped the armor on Wang Yuanya's child and placed it behind the horse. Judging from the Wufu Guard's dress, they wanted to use the dusk to break through. Governor Wang Yuanya looked at the child with a pity for a long time, as if he wanted to permanently imprint the child's face in his heart. From a distance, he also saw his wife Wang Zhang, hiding in the corner of the street, nodding to him with tears and hope.

Wang Yuanya waved his hand with tears in his eyes and ordered the door to open the suspension bridge. The team suddenly appeared outside the west gate. The scouts of the Mangourtai tribe of the Jurchen Inlaid Blue Banner who were camping at the west gate were extremely excited. They seemed to see the future of military merits and waved to them. Three hundred scouts cavalry quickly rushed towards Zunhua West Gate. After Zunhua West Gate closed the city gate again, Wang Yuanya quickly ran up to the Ximen City Wall, and looked at the more than 30 cavalry who had just left the door with heartache behind the battlements, who were surrounded by Jiannu Cavalry.

But the Pou Nu Army, who was leading the lead, did not take the approaching enemy seriously at all. More than ten black-armored cavalry first fixed the cavalry in front of the saddle bridge, and then took off the muskets that had been loaded with ammunition from behind. The muskets they used were smooth-bore muskets. When the blue rolling white-edged armor and blue flag scouts were eighty feet away, the escorts of the Pou Nu Army raised the muskets on their horses, and they opened fire. The neat sound of the muskets instantly changed the color of the blue flag cavalry who had seized military merits.

The Lan Banner and the Po Nu Army fought for several years, and they were very familiar with the sound of the Muskets of the Po Nu Army. The black armor of the opponent made the devil in their memory appear again. The three Jurchen scouts cavalry, who were still sixty feet away from the Po Nu Army, strangled their horses and turned around in place. The cowardice of the Jurchens gave the Bo Nu Army greater courage to break through the Po Nu Army. The Po Nu Army loaded ammunition on the horse again. However, the speed of loading ammunition on the horse was much slower than on the ground. After the Po Nu Army loaded the musket ammunition, the three Jurchen scouts were still hesitant.

The Pou Nu Army has always been unfavorable to fight, so they slowly marched southwest after loading ammunition. This behavior of treating the enemy as if nothing was invisible was a typical feature of the Pou Nu Army, which made the Jurchen Blue Flag scouts more certain of their opponents. Just as the scouts in the Blue Flag were stunned, this thin Pou Nu Army team was divided into two, and the Wufu Warehouse staff without armor began to accelerate towards the southwest mountain road. More than ten armored cavalry slowly guarded the back of the men, and their figures rose and fell with the horses under their crotch.

The folks in the Wufu Zunhua cargo warehouse are very familiar with the nearby terrain. Although the Jurchen army surrounded Zunhua, their main combat soldiers mainly blocked the official roads, and no heavy troops were placed on the frozen rivers. This happened to be the defense area of ​​the Mangourtai Blue Banner. The Jurchen soldiers stationed on the mountain road did not expect that someone would break through in Zunhua City. Especially in the face of this squad of the Slave-Breaking Army, the soldiers who were setting up camp were stunned by the emergencies in front of them.

The Inlaid Blue Flag is quite familiar with the tactics of the Pou Nu Army. As long as the Pou Nu Army appears in small groups to attack the enemy, a large army often follows behind them, covering the battlefield is the most commonly used tactics of the Pou Nu Army. As a result, when the Pou Nu Army squad ran wildly into the mountains ten miles away, all the Inlaid Blue Flag Rangers stationed here chose to avoid them. They stared at the rear of the cavalry and tried to find the traces of the Pou Nu Army behind the squad. What is even more annoying is that the armored Pou Nu Army, who were originally more than ten obsessed, carried muskets and held a cavalry rifle and grabbed a horse's belly, surpassing the front team from behind to attack the three hundred Jurchen infantry guarding the mountain pass.

The Niulu soldiers guarding the mountain pass, the Inlain Blue Flag, looked foolishly at the back. Facing the Pou Nu Army about to rush in front of them, they could already see the silver light flashing and bloodthirsty light of the cavalry, and avoiding the danger in front of them became an inevitable choice. Leading the team of Niulue Zhen ignored this Pou Nu Army team. He looked pale and saw the huge smoke and dust raised by the galloping horses behind it. This Pou Nu Army cavalry easily passed through the two lines of defense that the Jurchen had just closed.

The governor Wang Yuanya, who was lying on the city wall, saw this small group of black armored cavalry breaking through successfully with an incredible expression until the figure of the cavalry disappeared behind the rugged mountain road. Wang Yuanya saw that the cavalry team had not killed several Jurchen scout cavalry with a musket, so they scared Jiannu so much that they dared not move. He was very suspicious that someone in the Wufu Warehouse would have to know how to set Jiannu. Only Manguertai, who had just left the camp, could answer this question. It was not that the Pojun Army knew how to use magic, but that the Jurchen blue flag, who had been defeated by the Pojun Army many times, did not have any psychological advantage in fighting against the Pojun Army.

When Beile Mangurtai, the leader of the Inlaid Blue Flag flag who was still camping, heard the news and rushed out of Zunhua City. Mangurtai's subconscious reaction was to prepare to lead troops to retreat. Like his subordinates, he knew that Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pound Army's fox wolf, liked to cover the battlefield before the war. Therefore, Mangurtai's first order was to order not to camp and the entire army was on guard. The Jurchen Inlaid Blue Flag was a cavalry unit, and tens of thousands of people left the camp were very amazing, so the Inlaid Blue Flag soldiers guarding the important roads of the Yamaguchi thought that the main force of the Pound Army appeared behind the Pound Army, which also allowed the more than 30 cavalry to successfully break through the enemy's defense line.

When Mangurtai led 30,000 cavalry not to block Zunhua City Gate, but pursued more than 30 Pozi Army teams to the southwest. Mangurtai's strange behavior of leading troops, even the governor Wang Yuanya on the city wall was stunned, and he was worried about his children. However, Wang Yuanya quickly calmed down. Mangurtai did not pursue the breaking Pozi Army team, but led the army to control the largest official road south. Wang Yuanya did not understand Mangurtai's actions, which did not mean that Huang Taiji had not guessed Mangurtai's selfishness.

When Huang Taiji got the news, there was a team of more than 30 cavalry and Po Slave Army in Zunhua City. It broke through successfully from the Mangurtai Lanqi defense zone. With the strange march route of the Inlave Blue Flag, Huang Taiji inferred what happened to Mangurtai. After the Eight Banners of Jurchens were defeated by the Po Slave Army, as long as they fought against the Peru Army, the Bellers of the Peru Army were almost all afraid of war. Originally, Belled Dudu, the Inlave White Flag, wanted to make a future for military merits, but when the Inlave White Flag attacked Guangning, the Inlave White Flag formed a deep hatred with the head coach of the Po Slave Army. If the Inlave White Flag appeared on the battlefield, it was very likely that the Grassland Fox Wolf would be attracted.
