Chapter 365: Offensive and Defensive Battles

In the past two months, the people and horses of Dongjiang Town have been taken care of by the "Red Flag Army", and Mao Chenglu, who has not eaten and drunk spicy food, has long had no resistance in his heart.

He later found out that most of the people who went north had been beheaded, and he immediately regretted it.

Mao Chenglu took the initiative to ask to become the main general of the first wave of main attack, which is really competitive and convincing.

Shen Shikui is Mao Wenlong's in-law, and he is a generation older than Mao Chenglu, and he is not embarrassed to fight with him, because he has already obtained two levels of beheading when he went north to plunder, and he has received a lot of snowflake silver.

will be promoted to the next level, and there is still an expectation that a few thousand taels of silver will be in hand, so I am really embarrassed to grab credit from Mao Chenglu, who has nothing.

Song Pengfei did not hide the risk, and clearly told all the generals that there was artillery in Jinzhou City, and he didn't know when and where it would suddenly start. All the generals must always be ready to prevent the bombardment of the Jiannu.

When Jinzhou and Lushunkou were lost, the Ming army had artillery in hand, and the Houjin army, which had no artillery, still braved the artillery fire to capture the city.

Now it is obvious that the artillery of the Ming army has an absolute advantage, and the artillery of the Houjin army can only be fired for one round secretly, and the artillery position of the Houjin army that is reexposed will be abused by the artillery fire of the Ming army.

As for who Jiannu will kill if he secretly puts a round of artillery, no one cares about the generals of Dongjiang Town, who is afraid that how can they go to the battlefield?

The reason why Mao Chenglu was able to be appreciated by Mao Wenlong and accepted as a righteous son, and he is the first of all the righteous sons and adopted grandsons is because he is strong, brave, admitting death, and knowing how to be grateful.

When Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan once ordered Mao Wenlong's righteous son and adopted grandson in Dongjiang Town to change back to their original surnames and names, and most of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, etc. were changed, only a few generals Mao Chenglu still did not forget the old master and maintained their true colors.

When Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming came to Lai, it was not premeditated at all, it was just an emergency, and it was not a rebellion for the sake of surrendering and building slaves.

All in all, the luck of the Ming Dynasty is so bad that every step will go wrong, as long as it is right once, it may be able to change the fate of the country, there are many accidental events, and often the ending is that the Ming Dynasty is broken, and the slaves and rogues get unexpected joy.

One sentence can encapsulate all this that happened: "God bless the Golden Kingdom!" Later, the Dongjiang soldiers and Liao soldiers brought by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming became the "Heavenly Blessing Army" of Houjin.

The slave chiefs felt sudden, even incredulous, about the surrender of Kong Youde and other former Dongjiang Town generals, and later found that the generals were dragging their families with Hongyi cannons before they erupted into ecstasy, which is enough to show that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who were in trouble for Denglai, did not contact Houjin in advance at all.

Mao Chenglu learned that Kong Youde rebelled and was ready to divide Denglai, and many Dongjiang Town generals were actually tempted to defect, after all, he wrote many times to seek justice for his father-in-law, and asked the emperor to rehabilitate his father-in-law, which was ignored by the court.

This is the character flaw of Emperor Chongzhen, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he wants to save face and suffer crimes, and he lacks political wisdom.

Yuan Chonghuan was cut by a thousand knives, and it was originally Yuan's basin, of course, Yuan Chonghuan had to be eaten, and the plausible should also be imposed on him.

Chongzhen could have ordered Mao Wenlong to rehabilitate Zhaoxue with the mentality of a deceived person, but unfortunately Chongzhen did not choose to do that.

Because Chongzhen once pinched his nose and confessed that Yuan Chonghuan had killed Mao Wenlong privately, and ordered to seize the shadow of the Mao family, and confirmed the twelve beheadings that Yuan Chonghuan fabricated for Mao Wenlong.

The generals of Dongjiang Town did not know how many things about Mao Wenlong in their hearts, and Huang Han even wondered if Shang Kexi was a traitor and committed a massacre in Guangzhou because Yuan Chonghuan was from Dongguan, Guangdong.

Now Mao Chenglu is wholeheartedly trying to make contributions, and he himself is more willing to get closer to Huang Han, because Huang Han has complained about Mao Wenlong in public many times, thinking that Mao has made great contributions to Sheji, and Yuan Chonghuan deserves to kill Mao Shuai with a thousand knives.

When the generals discussed the artillery bombardment of the Houjin army, Mao Chenglu stood up and hugged his fists to Liu Zhilun, Huang Han and others: "Xiaguan has followed closely since his father-in-law opened the town of Dongjiang, and Xiaguan led the troops to attack the main attack without fear of Jiannu's artillery. ”

Liu Zhilun said: "If General Mao has anything to say, this official will do his best to do it." ”

Hearing Liu Zhilun say this, Mao Chenglu knelt down in front of Liu Zhilun and said: "The father-in-law of the lower official, Mao Dashuai, is wronged!" Xiaguan played the Son of Heaven many times to ask for the rehabilitation of Zhaoxue, but every time it was like a stone sinking into the sea, Xiaguan would fight to the death, and Xiaguan could not want any reward, just ask for justice to his father-in-law. ”

"It turned out that this was the case, and the official also listened to Huang Dudu talk about Mao Shuai's grievances many times, since the official had the opportunity to command the men and horses of Dongjiang Town to fight, he naturally had a reason to talk about Mao Shuai's gains and losses, rest assured, the official will definitely play the Son of Heaven to ask for Mao Shuai's rehabilitation."

Huang Han gave Fang Zhenghua a look, and Fang Zhenghua immediately understood, at this time, speaking out can collect the hearts of most of the old generals in Dongjiang Town!

He also said: "General Mao rest assured, our family will give a few letters to the master of ceremonies, and strive to give Mao Shuai Zhaoxue, who died unjustly, as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, Mao Chenglu was so excited that he choked his throat and couldn't speak, he kowtowed to the ground and his forehead was bleeding, more than eighty percent of the generals of Dongjiang Town came out of class and knelt down and kowtowed, and many people actually burst into tears.

On October 16, the fourth year of Chongzhen, sunny and breezy, the flag and exhibition number outside the Haimen Gate of Xining, Jinzhou fluttered and flew straight to Xiaohan.

After two months of siege, the battle of the general attack on Jinzhou began in the early morning, and the tactics adopted by the Ming army were to encircle and attack Xicheng, which had been shelled for more than a month.

At the time of the three poles of the sun, the vanguard general Mao Chenglu, deputy general, partial general, Chen Shishi, Mao Yishun, Chen Youde, etc., who were one mile away from the city wall outside the west gate, led 3,000 sword shield men and spearmen to form a formation.

Three thousand servants pushed fifty shield carts and carried three hundred ladders ready to charge at any time.

More than 2,000 infantry archers were organized, and more than 2,000 young musketeers of the "Red Banner Army" were all put into first-class combat readiness.

There are also three small banners of medics leading a stretcher team of 400 women, ready to treat wounded soldiers.

Liu Zhilun sat in the Chinese army, surrounded by Huang Han, Huang Long, Qin Yanyi, Fang Zhenghua, Li Ruolian, Jin Sheng, Zheng Xiaowen, Gao Youmou and other civilian and military generals.

Liu Quan led the two hundred general ironclad family members and the less than 400 men and horses of the Shenshu Battalion and Jinyi Guard to disperse to Simen to remember the merits of the army.
