"Report to the general that the Ming army has surrounded the city, with about three thousand people..."

"What are you talking about? It's nonsense. How could the Ming army have the guts to surround the city and investigate again? If you dare to make random reports, I will kill you..."

Jin Li stared at the sergeant kneeling in front of him with big eyes, a look of shock on his face.

Jin Li was the commander-in-chief of the Han army, responsible for garrisoning Fuzhou City and defending the Ming troops stationed in Pi Island and Lushun. He was a Wu Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty and was stationed in Liaodong in his early years. In the second year of Chongzhen, he surrendered to the Hou Jin Dynasty and was later stationed in Fuzhou.

The scout's report greatly surprised Jin Li. At the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, he began to garrison Fuzhou and participated in the battle against the Ming army stationed on Pidao, completely wiping out the Ming army stationed on Pidao.

He committed suicide. Since then, almost no Ming army sergeants have been seen in Fuzhou.

Last year, Qibele Abatai led a large army to conquer Lushun Island and Jinzhou, and was stationed in Fuzhou. That time Abatai's battle failed. Jin Li privately told Abatai not to put too much trust in Shang Kexi, who had just surrendered, and he had just surrendered.

The Ming army sergeants are not worthy of trust either.

When Abatai left Fuzhou and returned to Shengjing, he left behind five hundred Ming army sergeants who had surrendered and returned to Jin Li's command.

Before the Pidao Ming Army was wiped out, there were sergeants from the Manba Banner stationed in Fuzhou. They were in charge of the entire defense of Fuzhou. Niu Lu Ezhen of the Manba Banner was also the man. After the threat from the Pidao Ming Army was eliminated, the Manba Banner stationed in Fuzhou

The sergeants were transferred back to Gaizhou to garrison, and the task of defending Fuzhou was entirely handled by the three thousand Han army sergeants led by Jin Li.

For more than a year, the area around Fuzhou has been peaceful without any fighting. When Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners Army on an expedition to Monan Mongolia, Jin Li received an order from Huang Taiji to be vigilant and pay attention to Pi Island and Lushun Island.

and the Ming army stationed in Jinzhou and other places, but Jin Li did not pay special attention to it. In his opinion, the Ming army was too weak. After Mao Wenlong died, no other Ming army could attack Fuzhou and other places.

When he suddenly heard a report from a scout that the Ming Dynasty's army had surrounded the city of Fuzhou and that there were about 5,000 people, Jin Li definitely didn't believe it and became even more angry. If the intelligence was true, he, as the commander-in-chief of the Han army, had a huge dereliction of duty.

Or I have been too comfortable for more than a year, and I have lost the necessary vigilance.

However, Jin Li really couldn't believe it. How could the Ming army suddenly surround the city of Fuzhou? Nanxukou, Beixukou and Hongzuibao, which are not far from Fuzhou, had a small number of sergeants on guard duty. If there was any trouble,

, these sergeants will definitely return to Fuzhou to report.

Looking at the kneeling scout on the ground again, Jin Li's eyes almost burst out with flames. He raised his foot, kicked the sergeant kneeling in front of him hard, and strode outside.

...

Walking onto the city wall, Jin Li's expression changed drastically.

Not far away, many flags could be seen. Jin Li picked up the monocular and looked into the distance, his body trembled slightly.

Sure enough, it was the Ming army, the Ming army descended from the sky.

A chill came over. These Ming troops must be the Ming troops stationed in Pi Island, Lushun Island and Jinzhou. If they want to attack Fuzhou City, it will take a long time to sail on the sea, and they must pass through Nanxun.

Why didn't I know anything about places such as Beixunkou and Beixunkou? Could it be that all the sergeants deployed in these places were killed by the Ming army?

After putting down the monocular, Jin Li's eyes turned red and he spoke to the deputy general beside him.

"Order all the sergeants to be prepared. One thousand sergeants will follow me out of the city and kill the Ming army. Two thousand sergeants will hold on..."

"General, we'd better do more investigation and figure out the situation before we attack."

Jin Li turned around and glared at the deputy general, his face full of gloom.

"Why, you're scared. What's so scary about the Ming army? Don't look at the menacing look they make. They all have silver pewter spear heads. The scout just reported that there are five thousand Ming troops. I will defeat them completely. You lead the rest of the sergeants.

Defend the city and do not attack..."

Jin Li ignored the deputy general's advice at all. He must defeat the Ming army outside the city in order to make up for his negligence.

The predecessor of the Han army was also a sergeant of the Ming army, but after joining the Hou Jin Dynasty, it did change. The combat effectiveness was much stronger, at least Jin Li thought so, otherwise he would not have led a thousand Han army sergeants to fight against the three thousand Ming army.

Army sergeant.

In the central military tent, Wu Zongrui's face was quite serious. He looked at the sand table and thought about it for a long time.

After setting off from Penglai Water City, the journey went quite smoothly. Especially the scout battalion led by Liao Wenru personally occupied Nanxukou, Beixunkou, Hongzuibao and other places with lightning speed, and killed the garrisoned troops.

The Han army sergeants in these places did not leak any information, allowing the army to reach Fuzhou smoothly and surrounded Fuzhou city.

In Wu Zongrui's impression, places such as Nanxukou, Beixunkou and Hongzuibao should have a large population. However, the actual situation shocked him. Outside the castle, there were almost no people.

No houses can be seen, only some ruins remain.

This reminded Wu Zongrui of the Houjin Tatars' usual tactics of massacre. The Houjin Tatars not only massacred the city after attacking it, but when the army marched in along the way, they also carried out three measures of killing, robbing and burning. It should be

It is said that Fuzhou and Yongning and other places suffered such treatment, and judging from the intelligence obtained by Niu Ben and Qiao Mingjun, all the Han people plundered by the Later Jin Tatars became slaves, and they were concentrated in the Hou Jin Dynasty.

Around the city where he was, working for the rich and powerful, life was worse than death.

The Han people in Fuzhou and Yongning and other places once fled on a large scale, either to Pi Island, Lushun Island, or Dengzhou, but they were unwilling to stay here. They could not withstand the oppression of the Tatars in the Later Jin Dynasty.

There are a large number of Liaodong Han people in Denglai, some of whom come from Fuzhou and Yongning.

It's just that the surrounding area of ​​Fuzhou City was too desolate, which Wu Zongrui didn't expect.

Three thousand soldiers surrounded Fuzhou City. This was the order given by Wu Zongrui.

Liao Wenru suggested concentrating superior forces and artillery to capture the city of Fuzhou in one fell swoop, but Wu Zongrui did not agree.

The scouts entered the Chinese military tent.

"In response, Fuzhou City was besieged. General Luo investigated and determined that the Han troops stationed in the city were about to leave the city to fight..."

Wu Zongrui narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I know, go tell Luo Dianzhao that the Han army attacking out of the city must be defeated, and they must not be given any chance to breathe. They must continue to oppress them, but they must not attack the city and focus on besieging the city."

The scout left.

Liao Wenru looked at Wu Zongrui with a confused look on his face. He really didn't understand Wu Zongrui's combat thoughts and intentions.

Wu Zongrui looked at Liao Wenru and pointed to the sand table with his right hand.

"Wen Ru, look, Fuzhou City is less than a hundred miles away from Yongning City. If we attack Fuzhou City, what choice will the Houjin Tatars and the Han army stationed in Yongning make?"

"Well, I think that the Houjin Tatars and Han troops stationed in Yongning will definitely rush to help Fuzhou, so the soldiers must capture Fuzhou City as quickly as possible, and then attack Yongning City..."

Wu Zongrui shook his head slightly.

"Wen Ru, although we have sharp artillery, the battle to siege the city is not as simple as we imagined. If we force the siege, the casualties will be considerable and the morale of the soldiers will be depressed, so we need to use some

Plot.”

Liao Wenru looked at Wu Zongrui, even more confused. The soldiers had already surrounded Fuzhou City, and the next step was to attack. There was no plan at all.

Seeing Liao Wenru's confused expression, Wu Zongrui was a little happy. If Liao Wenru couldn't figure out the tactics he was thinking about, it would be impossible for the Tatars and the Han army of the Later Jin Dynasty to understand.

"Wen Ru, we adopted the tactics of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, besieging the city and calling for reinforcements, and attacked Fuzhou City on the surface. In fact, our goal is to annihilate the Hou Jin Tatars and the Han army from Yongning who rushed to aid Fuzhou, and to wipe out the Hou Jin Tatars and the Han army to the maximum extent.

We have the strength, and we need to capture Yongning first, so that the Han army stationed in Fuzhou will be in chaos without a fight..."

"Brother, the Houjin Tatars and Han troops stationed in Yongning, will they be fooled? If they don't rush to help Fuzhou City..."

Wu Zongrui looked at Liao Wenru with a smile on his face.

"Wen Ru, before fighting, you should think more and read more information. The commander of the Han army stationed in Fuzhou is Jin Li, who was a Wu Jinshi before the Ming Dynasty. He once stationed in Liaodong, and the commander of the Han army stationed in Yongning is Li Guohan.

, were also stationed in Liaodong, and both of them surrendered to the Jin Dynasty in the second year of Chongzhen. They have a good relationship. If Jin Li is attacked, do you think Li Guohan will sit back and ignore it? Not only will he not sit back and ignore it, he will also dispatch

Most of the Han soldiers stationed in Yongning rushed to help Fuzhou."

"Jin Li and Li Guohan are both proud. Li Guohan was even given the title of Morgan by Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty, which means a brave soldier of the Later Jin Dynasty. This title is not ordinary. Very few Han army officers can get it. Although they used to be

The imperial army, however, surrendered to Hou Jin and looked down upon our Ming army, thinking that we were weak and vulnerable."

"Under such circumstances, as long as we make all arrangements, we can achieve the greatest victory at the smallest cost."

"The lives of soldiers are precious. When we make deployments, we need to cherish their lives."

Liao Wenru's face turned a little red, Wu Zongrui's words were a bit harsh, and he understood the meaning.

"Brother, it's me who doesn't think well..."

Wu Zongrui patted Liao Wenru's shoulder and sighed softly.

"Wen Ru, you don't have to think like this. At this time and that time, the troops stationed in Fuzhou and Yongning were mainly Han troops and rarely the Tatars of the Later Jin Dynasty. So when we fought, we adopted certain strategies to achieve the greatest victory. This is

It is feasible, but sometimes, when we fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tatars, we rely on courage and strength, and there are not many strategies available."

"Okay, let's make arrangements. Luo Diazhao led 3,000 people to besiege Fuzhou City, holding Jin Li back and asking him to ask for help from Li Guohan. The remaining 9,000 soldiers, Luo Dianyong, led 3,000 people to garrison here, and the remaining 6,000 people,
Chapter completed!
