0125 Break Shenyang

In this way, the first battle of Niu Mantun passed in such a daze! On the way back, Niu Mantun was also asking himself, if he really went into battle, would he be able to fight the Ming army? Niu Mantun doesn't want to fight, but what if he wants to cut me? Let's fight! Anyway, those Ming officers are not good things, they often deduct military salaries and food! And now he is a soldier of Houjin, if he makes war exploits, maybe those banner people can look down on him! If you make it a big official like Li Yongfang, maybe you can find your father and younger brothers! Let's hope they don't die! If they die, when the Houjin army enters Shanxi, I will go and kill those officials to avenge my father and younger brothers!

The march of the Houjin army was fast. Sneak enough of Niu Mantun, who followed the army for the first time! Niu Mantun had to eat a whole flatbread brought from home to replenish his consumption. The speed of their attack can be seen from the timing of the Later Jin Army's offensive. On the morning of March 12, the attack on Fengji was unsuccessful, and in the afternoon the Tiger Skin Post was breached. On the 13th, it was transferred back to Shenyang.

Niu Mantun also followed the brigade to Shenyang. However, this time the team did not approach Shenyang City, but was stationed in the forest from a distance. Niu Mantun and these Han people were sent out to work again. Because he has become familiar with the banner people in the past few days, and because Niu Mantun has worked hard, he has won the trust of those flag people, and he doesn't avoid him when he speaks. This made Niu Mantun understand a lot about the situation in Shenyang City.

According to them, Shenyang City is a key military garrison. Therefore, the defense capability of Shenyang City is very strong. The Ming army dug more than a dozen trenches along the city of Shenyang, and behind the trenches was also equipped with wooden fences. Behind the wooden fence were also military vehicles and cannons. In addition, the city walls of Shenyang itself are tall and strong. Therefore, it is difficult for the Houjin army to overcome. The few bannermen were arguing about how to attack Shenyang City. After some debate, they unanimously agreed that the old Khan would not attack the city of Shenyang head-on. Instead, they will take the method of luring the enemy out of the city. I just don't know if I can make it.

Niu Mantun listened to their words and pondered. It's best that people in Shenyang don't come out. As long as they don't come out, the food of the Houjin army will not last long. Although the Houjin army laid down the tiger skin post and got a lot of food. But it is still stretched to maintain the team. As long as Shenyang City is defended and the Houjin army retreats, he can continue to go back to farming.

But unfortunately, what he had in mind was not realized. Just as Niu Mantun was hurrying, Nurhachi had already made up a plan to lure the enemy. And the most vicious thing is that he bribed a lot of Mongols to sneak into Shenyang City before he sent troops, and he waited for these meticulous workers to seize the door!

On March 13, more than 50 members of the Houjin Army rode horses to reconnoiter the military situation outside Shenyang, and were discovered by He Shixian, the garrison of Shenyang at that time. He Shixian was a rather brave general, and he was one of the few famous generals in the Ming army who dared to fight in person. He gathered his family and hid behind the city gate, and when the city reported that the Houjin army was approaching, He Shixian asked people to open the city gate and lead the crowd to raid out.

Those soldiers of the Later Jin Army have a psychological advantage over the soldiers of the Ming Army, so they don't want to retreat, and they want to cut a few more Ming Army meritorious services! But he doesn't want He Shixian to be strong in martial arts, and the family members around him are also brave and good at fighting! After the cavalry of the two sides hedged, although they suffered a lot of damage, they cut down nearly half of the Houjin soldiers in an instant! The remaining Houjin soldiers wanted to escape, but they were blocked by He Shixian's team, and all of them were killed, and then their heads were cut off by He Shixian's family.

On March 14, Nurhachi personally led his troops to the city to curse. He Shixian killed a lot of Houjin soldiers yesterday, and he was very proud. Seeing Nurhachi come to call for battle in person today, he felt that it was a good opportunity! If Nurhachi is killed, the major affairs in Liaodong will be settled!

He Shixian drank strong liquor and led more than 1,000 people out of the city to engage Nurhachi. After a few rounds of fighting between the two horse teams, the Houjin army showed defeat and withdrew from the battlefield. He Shixian led the men to chase closely.

After chasing for a long time, He Shixian felt that something was wrong and was about to withdraw, when the Houjin army ambushed everywhere! Many Houjin troops surrounded He Shixian and more than 1,000 people! But He Shixian took the lead, fought fiercely, and was hit by more than 40 arrows in his body, and finally broke out of the siege!

When He Shixian returned to the west gate of Shenyang City, the winch of the West Gate Suspension Bridge was destroyed by Mongolian spies, resulting in the suspension bridge not being put down! He Shixian was helpless, and led only more than ten family members to turn around and fight, and successively slashed and killed several Houjin soldiers before being shot to death by random arrows!

At the same time as He Shixian was killed in battle, those Mongol spies occupied the city gate and lowered the drawbridge. Later, the Jin army swarmed in, and Shenyang was broken. In this battle, the Ming army lost more than 30 generals, deputy generals, staff generals, guerrilla and other officials. There were numerous casualties among the soldiers and civilians.

Just when Niu Mantun was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. I heard the soldiers of the Houjin Army on the horse shouting loudly: "The city is broken!" The city is broken! ”

All the teams immediately burst into an uproar! Shenyang City is so strong, why was it broken all of a sudden? The cavalryman then shouted: "Our men have taken the city!" The king of Khan has an order, hurry up and organize people to move things! Everyone immediately moved with excitement. Especially the officers who led the Han army, they picked up their horsewhips and whipped the Han soldiers around them, shouting: "Go! Just go! Use all the loads and carts! ”

Niu Mantun also jumped up immediately when he heard this, waiting for the distribution. As a result, he was assigned a chicken bus. Niu Mantun felt that the city was broken before he could fight, and his luck must be very good! So he happily pushed the chicken cart and set off in the brigade. He was still wondering if he could take advantage of the chaos and get some harvest like his father! Even if it's not gold, it's silver!

When Niu Mantun arrived in Shenyang with a large number of men and horses, the battle in the city was not over. There was still a fighting inside, but it was slowly decreasing. But the gates of the city have been completely opened, and many people have come in and out! Those who went in were empty-handed, and those who came out were all big bags and small wraps, carrying carts! They had everything on their bodies, their burdens, their carts, their food, their weapons, their cloth, and even their women tied up in the carts and carried away.

As soon as the group of Niu Mantun entered the city gate, they were assigned to carry grain to the grain depot. Their hundred-man team immediately turned around and headed for the grain depot under the leadership of the Mongols. When Niu Mantun and they arrived at the grain depot, Niu Mantun was stunned! The door of the grain depot is open, and there are already many people transporting grain, but there are still a lot of grain depots that have not been opened! Niu Mantun has grown so big, I have never seen so much grain! I couldn't help but widen my eyes and swallowed.
