Chapter 174 Clipping Wings

Because of the looseness of the Jurchen tribe, in order to facilitate their rule, when the Hou Jin Dynasty was establishing the country, they naturally chose to build cities in areas where the Jurchens were relatively densely populated and close to mountains and rivers.

So Hetuala came into being.

This city served as the foundation for Hou Jin to establish his country. It initially provided a solid foundation for Hou Jin to conquer and annex the surrounding Jurchen tribes.

But after Hou Jin captured Shenyang, this rough town was quickly abandoned.

As time flies, this place has transformed from the capital of a country into a place with a lot of commemorative symbolism and a place where Nurhaci and other concubines can take care of themselves in their old age.

At the same time, as the gateway from Shengjing to the old forests of Northeast China and the northeastern region of North Korea, Hetuala was also a must-pass for Qing raiding teams.

The raiding team captured slaves from the east of Shengjing, so naturally they could not drive them in groups to Shengjing.

If it hinders the view, the Buddha of Shisheng Temple will be unhappy if he sees it.

Over time, Hetuala became a transit place for slaves.

It's just in the last year or two, obviously business here has not been very prosperous.

But only Azig himself knew how panicked he was now.

If this place were not the land of Longxing that belonged to Lao Aijia, there probably wouldn't even be a defender.

On May 7th, Black Flag Wuerte ordered to divide his troops. One army besieged Gaizhou City, and the other army went south to besiege Jinzhou City. The army first broke through Haicheng County to the north of Gaizhou, and then besieged Gaizhou City for two days.

Since the distance was only one mile, the heavy artillery bombardment was extremely effective, and within a quarter of an hour the wall of the Royal City of Hetuala was breached.

The first thing to suffer after crossing the river was the Buddhist temple in the north of Hetuala City.

When the Black Flag Army arrived, the city built on the water was as silent as death, with almost no one outside the city.

But the response was to ask Azig to defend Shengjing and try his best to protect the soldiers and civilians around Shengjing.

On May 3rd, Zhengheiqi arrived at Fengcheng. In one day, he defeated 17 fortresses including Fenghuang Fort, Kuoyang Fort, Xianshan Fort, Xin'an Fort, Caohe, and Da Dianzi Fort, and more than 20 villages and towns, winning the army and the people. More than 11,700 people.

The armored men and cavalry were in front. After rushing into the Buddhist temple, they drew their swords and looted wildly. Thanks to Zhu Youjian's order not to kill the monks in the temple at will, otherwise there would be no survivors in this former Qing Dynasty Temple.

When both the inner and outer cities were captured by the Black Flag Army, Zhu Youjian found out that there were less than a thousand defenders in this small city and only five small cannons.

When these thousand resentful people learned that the Black Flag Army was coming, they did not dare to run away, because running away would be the same as death.

So Guarjia Xingjia immediately led seven thousand armored men and began to charge!

This city was originally built to defend against invading enemies from Shenyang, but the natural geography it relied on did not play any role in the face of the Black Flag Army!

In my heart, I hate Zhengheiqi very much, and I also hate Heiqi Wuerte.

The Qing army gathered from the outer city of Hetuala, intending to attack the armored men with the defenders in the imperial city. However, the armored men were also equipped with heavy-duty arrows. The Qing army, which was not very elite, suffered a round of defeat before it could engage the enemy. With heavy arrows, the first line was immediately defeated!

Seeing the Qing army fleeing in panic as the armored men were killed, Zhu Youjian did not suppress the whole army, but divided his troops and went straight to the outer city of Hetuala, in order to block the city and prevent any available cannon fodder from escaping. .

The Qing army in the Imperial City of Hetuala on the other side of the river fired artillery in an attempt to prevent the Black Flag Army from crossing the river, but the defenders were obviously not enough to suppress the Black Flag Army. In the end, under the cover of the Black Flag Army's heavy artillery counterattack, the Black Flag Army successfully crossed the river.

On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Zhenghei Banner reached Wunv Mountain, destroyed the Wengbao at the south foot, and captured more than a thousand soldiers and civilians.

Finally, the two armies met in Haizhou City, south of Liaoyang City, on May 15th.

This makes Azig scold his mother every day.

Many people who were originally slaves have been promoted several levels in a row and suddenly became the small leaders of the Black Flag Army. These strong main forces among the soldiers and civilians who were coerced have quickly transformed into the fighting power of the Black Flag.

But even so, when the army crossed the river, the interior of the temple was almost completely robbed, leaving only a few huge Buddha statues.

At this time, the Black Flag Army has nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians!

It was also at this time that Prince Azig of the Qing Dynasty completely gave up relying on Fushun and Shenyang for defense, and instead forcibly deducted 30,000 troops to defend Liaoyang, and his posture would change with the activities of the Black Flag Army, striving to capture the enemy. Outside Shengjing.

The city is divided into two parts, which looks slightly better than the ancient tower of Bining. One part is a low-wall residential building, and the other part is a military camp with the imperial palace.

In the end, the Black Flag Army only stayed in this small town for one day, and then incorporated the 3,000 men and women in the city, including prisoners, into the army. Then they continued southward, and continued to divide their forces to raid the Manchu and Qing dynasties they encountered. Settlement, small village and small town.

To the north is a huge lake, which serves as a natural protection. The northern part is considered the third part of the city, and is a temple.

Instead, he rushed to Guangning City in the northwest of Liaoyang. Along the way, he continued to attack the city and build strongholds. He mobilized the coerced soldiers and civilians to plunder everywhere, and quickly converted the available soldiers among them into armored men, and then generously rewarded them based on their military merits.

Begin to sweep the land south of Shengjing and north of North Korea.

After a crushing siege, the Black Flag Army also discovered that the defense of this small town was unusually stretched.

But even when he was guarding Liaoyang and trying to move the entire population of Liaoyang city to Shengjing for refuge, the Black Flag Army still did not march towards Shengjing.

Subsequently, Zhu Youjian's army set up a formation in the Buddhist temple, and all the artillery opened fire to bombard the walls of the imperial city of Hetuala.

On May 5th, Zhenghei Banner arrived in Gaizhou and destroyed Xiongyue City and Yongning Supervisory City. At the same time, he destroyed more than 50 fortresses in villages and towns on the outskirts of the city! He gained 50,000 soldiers and civilians.

Zhu Youjian led the Black Flag Army to cross the river from the north.

In the past ten days, Sheng Jing has gone to Shuntian Mansion to ask for help twenty or thirty times.

There are also few people in the city.

On May 10, the Black Flag Army marched south and broke through Jinzhou City and returned. The Qing Navy wanted to reinforce Jinzhou, but seeing the strength of the Black Flag Army, they finally did not dare to go ashore, and only retreated for a while with artillery fire harassment.

At present, the Black Flag Army has 200,000 cannon fodder. Although only a little over 10,000 of them can really play a role in the critical battle, combined with the elite strength of the Black Flag Army, Azig is already overwhelmed.

Because of the counterattacks of Dashun and Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was unable to send troops back to rescue Shengjing, let alone the period when winter was approaching.

What a coincidence.

At this time, Azig finally couldn't bear it anymore.

At first, they took advantage of the fact that the Zhenghei Banner army was too bloated and had too many people under its control. They constantly sent out cavalry to harass them, causing the crowds of people who had been fleeing to disperse from time to time.

But Zhu Youjian still ignored him. After conquering Guangning City in one day, he continued to attack the Tumed Mongolian Left Banner. Unfortunately, the Mongolian princes of the Tumed Left Banner had been alert and had led most of the ethnic groups in the territory northward. Escaped.

So the Zhenghei Banner army went straight to the Tieling Guards, the Thirty Thousand Guards, and the old city of Kaiyuan north of Shengjing.

Due to Azige's harassment on the way, the soldiers and civilians who were trapped fled in large numbers, and it was difficult for the Zhenghei Banner soldiers to control them. When they finally arrived at Tielingwei, only 120,000 or 30,000 soldiers and civilians were trapped by Zhenghei Banner. However, a large number of strong men were digested, making Zhenghei Banner

Black Flag's army of armored men has expanded to nearly 20,000!
