Chapter 768: The Slaves of the Daming Tribulation Stained the Banners with Blood (5)

The offensive and defensive battle at the gap in Andingmen Tower in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was fought from early morning to afternoon. The Pou Nu Army and the Shi Quan Baigang soldiers were exhausted. The well-made muskets in the hands of the Pou Nu Army were urgently cleaned up after several consecutive launches. The Pou Nu Army was stocked in a lot of stock on the Andingmen City Wall, but the distance of the bombs dropped by the thrower after exhaustion was getting closer and closer. The three thousand stone soldiers of the White Peak soldiers were killed and injured more than 2,000. The forced Sun Chengzong could only send Wan Quandu Si Changliang's troops to the front line to take over the position of the Baigang soldiers. Li Yongfang also found signs of the Ming army's successor's weakness on the other side of the moat. He wanted to lead the army to continue the attack, but the short winter day made Li Yongfang jump straight to his feet.

At this moment, the artillery shot of the Pound Army happened to hit the edge of Li Yongfang's tightly defended shield car, and exploded the shield car on the west side of Li Yongfang's position. The shield car filled with earth bags immediately split into pieces. One of the earth bags flew out and hit Li Yongfang's chest. Not only did Li Yongfang knock it out and knock it to the ground by the huge impact of the earth bag, but the flag behind him was also crushed by the blown-off wheels. Li Yongfang's breaking of the flag seriously hit the morale of the soldiers of Wuzhenchao Ha camp. The main general Manguertai, who was watching the battle far behind, also thought that Li Yongfang, the commander of the front line, was killed. He issued an order that he should not have given. The entire Wuzhenchao Ha camp retreated from the battlefield and fought again tomorrow.

Amid the three long sounds of withdrawing horns, the wave of attack of Wuzhenchao Ha Battalion began to retreat, and the battlefield of Andingmen, which had been fierce for a day, gradually fell into silence. When the soldiers of the Wuzhenchao Ha Battalion of the Qing Dynasty took away their injured companions. The area a mile in front of Andingmen was covered with the bodies of soldiers on both sides. The Ming army, who had no strength to cheer for victory, had no strength to pursue the enemy. Both sides were licking their wounds to prepare for the next battle. After the entire battle, the elderly Sun Chengzong was carried under the city wall by his family, but Sun Chengzong refused to go home. He still arranged tomorrow's military. Sun Chengzong and the supervisor Cao Huachun came to the Shuntian Prefecture Office physically and mentally exhausted. They called Zheng Tai, the Slave Army, and Qin Liangyu, the general of Shifu, to discuss the next military situation.

Zheng Tai gave Sun Chengzong a good news. Dong Heliang, the deputy commander of the Pou Nu Army who came to reinforce from Nanzhili, led 1,600 cavalry to the capital. After Dong Heliang arrived in the capital, Zheng Tai did not let him go up to the city but rest under the city wall. He was afraid that Dong Heliang's subordinates would have a conflict with the Shi Quan Bai Gan soldiers. After all, the guards killed by the Shi Quan Bai Gan soldiers in Nanjing were Dong Heliang's subordinates. Zhang Zheng, the general of the Pou Nu Army, protected the baby, which caused the officers of the Pou Nu Army to follow suit. Zheng Tai learned from the newspapers sent by Xu Yian that Dong Heliang had repeatedly swearing to destroy the Shi Quan Bai Gan soldiers on different occasions.

Just when Sun Chengzong had just held a military agreement at the Shuntian Prefecture Office, the Ponu Army City Hou came to report to Zheng Tai. When Dong Heliang arrived at Andingmen, he led his troops to surround Shiquan Baigang soldiers. Now there was no military discussion. Zheng Tai hurriedly said goodbye to Sun Chengzong and Cao Huachun and rushed to Andingmen. Qin Liangyu, the general who participated in the meeting, could not sit still when he heard the news, so she rode to Andingmen. In today's battle, the Ponu Army guarding the city cooperated with the Baigang soldiers who blocked the gap. Whenever an enemy rushed up to the city tower, the Baigang soldiers would use their courage to fight to the death to suppress the enemy.

The friendship between the comrades in the war is the best way to bring close friendship between the Ponu Army and the Shiquan Baigang soldiers before the war are not in the face, but when the two armies on the same front are instantly condensed together. On the battlefield, the Ponu Army fought long-distance targets, and the Baigang soldiers fought closely together. If the Wuzhenchao Ha camp soldiers who escaped the net approached the Ponu Army's musket position, the Baigang soldiers would also help the Ponu Army block the knife and assassinate the enemy regardless of their own safety. The Ponu Army would also swing their swords forward to rescue in the crisis of the White Ponu Army. The White Ponu Army was not afraid of the strong enemy's fighting spirit, which made the soldiers of the Ponu Army participate in the battle today respect the Shiquan Baigang soldiers.

Xu Zhen's troops of the Pou Nu Army have been stationed in the Esrege grassland all year round. Their personality is more like grassland men, who dare to hate and love, and drinking big bowls of wine and eating meat to highlight their heroism. Although their respectable Marshal Zhang had deep prejudice against Shiquan Xuanweisi, the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army also had the awareness of Zhang's enemy, that is, our enemy, but it did not prevent them from showing high recognition of the performance of Baigang soldiers today. After all, Shiquan's Baigang soldiers are more trustworthy than the Ming master soldiers on the battlefield. Therefore, after Dong Heliang led the cavalry to surround Shiquan's Baigang soldiers, Wu Chenggang's Pou Nu Army ran down from the city tower to protect the Baigang soldiers.

Faced with the somewhat embarrassing situation of confrontation between the Pou Nu Army and the Pou Nu Army, Dong Heliang, who claimed to be the third hoist of the Pou Nu Army, was also a little worried. Fortunately, the Shuntian Prefecture Office was very close to Andingmen, and Zheng Tai's arrival resolved the crisis. Zheng Tai rode a horse to Dong Heliang, waved the whip and slapped Dong Heliang. He scolded while beating: "You bastard hoist, you will cause trouble when you come to the capital! I'm asking you to take troops here to rest and replenish your strength to prepare for tomorrow's war, not to let you find trouble and fight in groups!"

In the midst of his scolding, Zheng Tai first characterized Dong Heliang's behavior as a group fight rather than fighting against friendly forces, leaving room for the next step to resolve conflicts between the two sides. Dong Heliang is a hob, but he is extremely flexible. Although he doesn't know why his brother helps outsiders, Zheng Tai's whip made Dong Heliang realize that things are not simple. Dong Heliang was still dissatisfied with his expression, but he cursed and removed the siege of Shiquan Baigang soldiers. When Sun Chengzong and Cao Huachun came to Andingmen, Dong Heliang had already led his troops to the city tower to change defense with his brother who had been fighting for a day.

Those who have fought knew that war can make people tired. Although Dong Heliang's cavalry had been rushing for a day, they were far less tired than the brothers of the Fengliu Camp who had fought for a day. Zheng Tai also knew how to mobilize military supplies in the battle today. The most in short supply on the city wall was * and spare muskets. He once again mobilized 600 muskets from Zhangjiazhuang as the wartime reserves of Dong Heliang's troops. Zheng Tai, the most needed * on the city wall, ordered people to store 5,000 here. Today, the high fighting spirit of the Wuzhen of the Qing Dynasty made Zheng Tai have a new expectation of the intensity of tomorrow's battle, that is, the intensity of the enemy's attack must be higher than today.

To this end, Zheng Tai ordered the transfer of thirty crossbows and 200 gunners from Zhangjiazhuang, and also transported enough shells. Zheng Tai worked so hard as a foreign army. After Sun Chengzong discussed with Cao Huachun, he asked Shi Qianxuan to comfort all the Bai Gan soldiers into the city. Sun Chengzong wanted to use this strong army to block the crazy attack of Jiannu. In today's battle, Shi Qian Bai Gan soldiers were injured by about 2,000 soldiers and more than 500 were killed in battle. After the test of the war, the Bai Gan soldiers trusted the armor of the Po Nu Army very much. The Bai Gan soldiers found that they were fighting with the enemy in close combat. Although the Po Nu Army's sword was not very easy, they were the nemesis of the enemy's sword.

When the white-rod soldiers wearing the armor of the Breaking Slave Army were fighting against the hostile battle, the enemy's sharp sword would not have caused any damage to them. For this reason, after the injured white-rod soldiers were carried off from the battlefield, the first thing they did was to take off their armor and hand it over to their brothers who would go to the battlefield later. After the war, although the black armor on the white-rod soldiers was damaged, they also used ropes to repair the connection and continue to use it. Although Zheng Tai saw this situation, he also wanted to add more armor to Shi Qianxiu Si, Baixiu Si, but he was worried that the court would seize the handle of the private armor of the Xuanwei envoy of the Breaking Slave City in Beijing. (Author's note: The Ming Dynasty law has clear regulations on private armor, and private armor can be determined to be a serious crime of regulating and destroying the three clans.)

Zheng Tai was worried, but Sun Chengzong couldn't see how Sun Chengzong could not see it, but this matter was too sensitive, and Sun Chengzong could not ask for the armor of the Slave Army. Sun Chengzong also wanted to transfer armor from the arsenal to the Slave Army. As the Minister of War, he knew very well that all living in the arsenal were waste, and it would be better if he didn't take it out. Once the broken armor of the arsenal was given to the Baigang soldiers, they would compare the armor of the Slave Army, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Baigang soldiers. For this reason, Sun Chengzong could only pretend to be deaf and mute, and had to comfort Qin Liangyu with kind words. In fact, Qin Liangyu also saw Sun Chengzong's helpless expression from Sun Chengzong's embarrassing expression.

She also knew the old rules and regulations of the officialdom. She was able to allocate weapons from the arsenal of the Ming Dynasty. The officials and the officials in charge chose the quality of weapons based on how much they paid. Often, a well-made armor and money spent could make a new pair of armor. Although the armor and weapons of the Shikakuan White Soldier could not be given to the Shikakuan White Soldier, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict to commend the Baigang Army's courage to kill the enemy, which gave Shikakuan Xuanfu Office great spiritual comfort. Emperor Chongzhen issued an imperial edict to highlight the white Soldier Army, and of course he also praised the Shenji Camp and Wanquandu Office officials. As for the Po Nu Army, he also mentioned it lightly.

After hearing the eunuch Cao Huachun from Bingbing's pen read the commendation order of Emperor Chongzhen, Zheng Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen was not generous enough to win people's hearts. Today, the Ponu Army was the main force in resisting Jiannu's siege. Perhaps the casualties were not as good as Shi Quanxuanweisi. The officers and soldiers fighting on the city walls could not erase the results of the Ponu Army. Emperor Chongzhen's indifference made the soldiers of the Ponu Army who listened to the Hadith were indignant. This result was not unexpected by Zheng Tai. Although Emperor Chongzhen agreed to open the court and issued an edict to rectify the salt affairs of the world, the emperor still regarded the Ponu Army as a foreign enemy in his heart.

Zheng Tai sighed in his heart, and did not show any unhappiness on his face. The soldiers who replaced the defense of the Po Slave Army cleaned up the corpses of the enemy in front of the position and strengthened the position defense wall. Dong Heliang's recent experience in war has improved a lot. Since there are crossbows on the city wall, the Po Slave Army has the ability to strike accurately at a fixed point. During the process of handing over with Dong Heliang, General Qian, Wu Chenggang described the situation on the battlefield in detail. Wu Chenggang, who is also a veteran of the battlefield, is very clear about the enemy.
