Chapter 521 Jinan

At first, after receiving the oral order from Zhu Youjian, Yan Jizu, Zhang Gongwei and Liu Zeqing had no choice but to discuss that Zhang Gongwei would lead more than 10,000 troops to Wohu Mountain in the southwest of Jinan City to attract the attention of the Tatars. Yan Jizu and Liu Zeqing led the army to wait for an opportunity to enter Jinan City to defend and wait for the Tatars to retreat.

Wohu Mountain is more than ten miles away from Jinan City. Zhang Gongwei originally planned to lead troops to retreat south when the situation was not good, but pretended to be willing to go through fire and water for everyone. Liu Zeqing and Yan Jizu considered that they could get the protection of the city wall and their safety was guaranteed, which was a bit dangerous when they first entered the city. They were very righteous and vowed to live and die with Jinan.

The three people and horses were ulterior motives and walked towards Jinan.

Let’s talk about Zhang Gongwei constantly thinking about how to retreat south so that Zhu Youjian could not blame him. Suddenly, a cavalry ran wildly behind his butt. Zhang Gongwei thought Yue Tuo was aiming his target at him, so she was shocked and hurriedly ordered the formation to fight.

The soldiers lined up in chaos until Nurji rushed to the front before barely forming a formation. Zhang Gongwei suddenly discovered that the Tartars were running and there were more than 3,000 cavalry cavalry behind them to pursue them.

Zhang Gongwei was as if she had been injected with chicken blood and immediately became excited.

The military merits delivered to the door are useless. If they can annihilate these Tartars, even if Jinan is finally lost, they can still atone for their sins. Zhang Gongwei immediately ordered the left and right wings to surround and try to encircle Nurji with the cavalry army.

Zhang Gongwei's idea was good, but unfortunately, this Ming army was obviously not trained enough, and when the left wing surrounded him, chaos occurred.

Nurji did not care about his fatigue, and seized the fighter's shots and rushed towards Zhang Gongwei's left wing like thunder.

Zhang Gongwei's left-wing men were already in chaos, and the cavalry charge was like a storm and storm, and the left-wing men scattered and fled.

Zhang Gongwei was stunned for a moment. In a rage, he grabbed a spear, shouted loudly, and broke the spear into two sections. Zhang Gongwei was finally provoked to death, staring with red eyes, and ordered: "The central army followed me to attack! The right wing advanced southward, waiting for an opportunity to block the way the Tartars!"

After saying that, Zhang Gongwei bent his bow and arrow, drove his horse out and took the lead in breaking out of the military formation. More than a hundred personal soldiers from behind hurriedly followed, covering Zhang Gongwei with no water.

Zhang Gongwei's movements were obviously slower. When the Nurji soldiers moved, the left-wing cavalry of the Cavalry followed Nurji's butt and chased after him. The right-wing cavalry circled around and quickly blocked the direction of Nurji's attack, raised the steel crossbow, and waited for the Tartars to break out of the chaotic military formation.

The chaotic Ming army was vulnerable, and Nurji broke through the Ming army's formation without much effort. However, all the war horses had consumed all their kinetic energy and it was difficult to charge again.

Nurji was sadly aware that behind his butt, not only were the elite cavalry following him, but there were also iron cavalry waiting in front of him. Even the vulnerable infantry swept over like yellow sand in the sky.

Moreover, the cavalry in front of him were slowly accelerating, with steel crossbows, black and shiny, just like a death talisman.

"We surrender! Surrender!"

Nurji shivered all over and shouted in Chinese words. After roaring, Nurji took the lead in jumping off the horse and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

The Mongolian knights had already lost their fighting spirit. Seeing that Nurji was the first to admit defeat, they followed suit and jumped off their horses...

A built-in cavalry finally became all prisoners. Sheng Kunshan ordered the captives to escort the captives, led the captured horses, and left Linqing, leaving the task of cleaning the battlefield to Zhang Gongwei.

Zhang Gongwei was so ashamed that she beheaded the commander of the left wing army and showed it to the public, and beheaded all the bodies left by the Mongolian Tartars, taking them as his own merit.

Looking at the two hundred heads, Zhang Gongwei finally felt like the rain had passed and ordered the team to reorganize and head towards Wohu Mountain.

Not to mention that Zhang Gongwei led the army to advance slowly, and above Jinan City, there were dense clouds and the north wind gradually rising, and thousands of Tartars gathered in the southeast suburbs of the city like ants.

With drums and horns fighting, swords and swords, Yuetuo finally launched the first real siege.

Arrows covered the sky and shot towards the city wall. The Jurchen Tartars were good at riding horses and fighting on the horses. There were many archers as many as ox hairs. The first round of shooting caused huge losses to the rural soldiers who were not armed on the city wall. Countless warriors rolled and crawled on the city wall, and more warriors endured the severe pain, gritted their teeth and pulled out the arrows, shivered with their hands, and shot out the first arrow in their lives.

Such strength will cause little damage to the Tartars wearing heavy armor under the city, just like tickling it.

"Kill... Kill..."

The Tartars had been stationed in Jinan for more than ten days, and had been salivating at the wealth and beauty in the city. After receiving the attack order, they were like sharks smelling blood. Under the cover of the archer, they carried the ladder and ran towards the city wall.

Jinan City is strong, Yue Tuo gave up the slow-playing method of using the red cannon to bombard the city walls, and directly chose the fast-acting Ant Attack Siege method.

Yes, the troops are more than ten times stronger, and the elite troops against the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are a waste of time and money using red cannons.

"Ah...ah..."

When the Tartars rushed to the city wall, set up a ladder, held their weapons, and were about to rush up, the rolling stones and squats on the city wall poured down like rain. For the newly recruited rural soldiers, archery was not an expert, but throwing stones and smashing squats was perfect.

Some Tartars were unable to react and were hit by rolling stones and wood, turned over and fell off the ladder, making a shrill cry.

Most of the Tartars reacted quickly, and they hid in the inside of the ladder with a little sideways, avoiding the rolling stones and woods. Just as they were in a hurry and were about to turn over and continue climbing up, a faint fragrance suddenly came, and all the Tartars changed their complexion.

Boiling hot oil!

No matter how thick the Tartars wore, it was useless. They saw that they fell from the ladders and fell at the foot of the city wall.

Their nightmare was obviously not over yet. Torches were thrown down on the city wall. With a scream, a huge fire appeared under the city wall. The Tartars fell under the city wall and suddenly jumped up from the ground, like fire people, looking at the formation. The fire took advantage of the wind and became stronger and stronger. The fire people fell one by one and became coke.

"Arrow...Arrow..."

Yue Tuo had long been used to this scene, but he just calmly issued a military order.

Arrows were like locusts, covering the city wall again, and a shrill cry came again, and the villagers suffered huge casualties again...

The reason why Yue Tuo attacked Jinan so wildly was nothing more than that Lin Chunhong sent troops to Jinan no longer had any hope.

Let’s talk about Yan Jizu, Zhang Gongwei and Liu Zeqing jointly advanced, and made such a huge noise, which had already alarmed Yue Tuo. Yue Tuo’s troops have been stationed in the city of Jinan these days, plundering the surrounding areas of Jinan, and patiently waiting for Lin Chunhong and his team to come to rescue Jinan. Unexpectedly, Lin Chunhong did not wait for him, but he welcomed more than 20,000 imperial troops.

Yue Tuo's target was the Jingzhou army, and he was not willing to confront the imperial army, so he immediately ordered his full attack on Jinan.

Jinan's defense is famous in history. During the Jingnan Dynasty, Shandong's political participation in politics Tie Xuan led the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and resisted Zhu Di's army for more than three months in Jinan. Zhu Di had no choice but to retreat and left the siege. The city defense of Jinan can be seen. The wheel of history has rolled for more than two hundred years, but Jinan's foundation is still there and cannot be shaken by a short period of time.

However, Yuetuo's battlefield was extremely keen. He immediately discovered that due to the flat horse in the southeast of Jinan and the moat dried up, Song Xuezhu gathered most of his troops here and prepared a large number of defending equipment, which was difficult to break in a short period of time. So Yuetuo immediately ordered to go to the northwest of the city and crossed the moat to attack Jinan City.

Although crossing the moat would cause certain casualties, the troops on the city wall were obviously insufficient, and the Tartars easily climbed the city wall and fought face to face with the rural soldiers on the city.

Yue Tuo originally thought that there were only a few thousand elderly, weak, sick and disabled in Jinan City, and it was not difficult to capture them. Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Song Xuezhu and Zhou Zhixun, all the soldiers in Jinan City had the intention to die and burst out with combat power far beyond ordinary.

"Kill the thief!"

Inspired by Song Xuezhu and Zhou Zhixun, the village soldiers all knew clearly that once the Tartars captured Jinan, their parents, wives, and children in the city would be poisoned. Inspired by this belief, the village soldiers were as crazy as if they were injured. The chest and abdomen were injured, and they still hugged the Tartars' legs without fear of death and bit them desperately. Some of the village soldiers simply rushed forward, hugged the Tartars and fell down the wall together, and died with the Tartars...

The Tatars were driven down for the first time when they climbed the city, which surprised Yuetuo. Just as Yuetuo was about to reorganize the army, he suddenly received a report: Nurji led more than a thousand cavalry across the canal and was galloping towards Jinan.

Yue Tuo thought about it and wondered why Dorgon ordered Nurji to Jinan. Before he could figure it out, he received another war report: Nurji was surrounded by more than 10,000 Zhang Gongwei's army and more than 3,000 cavalry of the Cavalry!

Yue Tuo did not take Zhang Gongwei's more than 10,000 troops seriously, but after hearing more than 3,000 cavalry of the Cavalry Army, Yue Tuo's face suddenly had a child-like smile on his face, and he ordered loudly: "Suspend the attack on Jinan, Haoge led his troops and horses to go to Chiping immediately, bit the cavalry army, Du Du led his troops to monitor Jinan City, and prevented the Ming army from entering the city to reinforce. The general and Duoduo each led a group, separated from the north and south, and jointly attacked the cavalry army!"

Yue Tuo was used to using military forces to suppress the top of Mount Tai and gained absolute victory with absolute advantage. This move was a thunder strike, trying to completely encircle and suppress the Cavalry Army and severely attack the morale of the Jingzhou Army.

Unexpectedly, after Yue Tuo led the army to Chiping, he found that the cavalry had disappeared, only Zhang Gongwei's army was running towards the west.

Yue Tuo was so angry that he immediately ordered to attack Zhang Gongwei's army. He chased after him for twenty or thirty miles before stopping his pursuit.

Zhang Gongwei was tragically affected by the fish in the pond, and more than 10,000 troops almost collapsed. After two days, less than 5,000 soldiers were gathered.
