The battle to attack Jinzhou City was postponed until Chen Dynasty.

It is still the offensive combat method of the square team. The square team is mainly composed of sergeants from the Han army and the Mongolian left and right battalions.

After more than three months of fighting, especially the storming in recent days, the Han army suffered huge losses. The loss of the 30,000 Han army reached more than 50%. Many Han army sergeants almost lost their fighting spirit. If Duduo had not personally supervised the battle,

He mercilessly killed the sergeants who retreated from the battle. It is estimated that the Han army sergeants collapsed long ago.

Duduo and Azig didn't have the slightest fondness for the Han army. Even if all 30,000 Han troops were lost, it didn't matter to them. In their opinion, the Manchu Eight Banners were the most brave army of the Qing Dynasty, or the real army.

In the army, the sergeants of the Mongolian left and right battalions are also good. At least their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Han army, and they can become the assistants of the Manchu Eight Banners.

The indifference of Duduo and Azig directly led to the heavy losses of the Han army.

After several days of brutal fighting, the Manchu Eight Banners sergeants basically did not participate. The Mongolian sergeants from the left and right battalions also attacked the city in a cavalry square formation. Only the Han army sergeants formed a square formation and charged at the front, rushing towards the city wall desperately.

, fighting with the Ming army sergeants on the city wall.

Before each charge, Duduo explained clearly to many officers that with the most elite Manchu and Eight Banners sergeants at the rear, when the Ming army in Jinzhou City could no longer resist, it would be the time for the Manchu and Eight Banners sergeants to launch a general attack.

To put it bluntly, the Han army sergeants are cannon fodder.

In the Qing Dynasty, those who surrendered, or surrendered, would end up like this and would never be respected.

The person leading the attack on Jinzhou City today is Azig.

The dispute between Azig and Duduo finally ended with Duduo's temporary compromise. After discussion, the two decided to strengthen the attack on Jinzhou City. The Manchu Eight Banners sergeants did not participate in the attack and strictly guarded and controlled the Ming army who came to rescue. However, they compromised

Duduo also made it very clear that if the city of Jinzhou could not be captured within one day at most, the army would turn around and attack the Ming army rushing for reinforcements.

Azig agreed and rode his war horse to the south gate to supervise the battle.

The rumble of drums sounded, and the brutal attack and fighting began again.

...

More than an hour passed. No matter how much Azig shouted, how much he lost his temper, and even personally killed two sergeants who retreated from the battle, the first round of attack still failed.

The air was filled with the smell of blood. Nearly a thousand corpses were lying outside the south gate. Some Han soldiers were lying on the ground, their bodies still twitching and moaning softly. In their eyes, there was only despair and numbness.

Azig, who was inside the temporary military tent, looked ashen.

Azig, who was commanding the battle, was surprised to find that the Ming army on the Jinzhou city wall suddenly became fierce. Their bows and crossbows became powerful and could instantly penetrate the bodies of the Han army sergeants. They were not afraid of the dense rain of arrows and howling.

The arriving crossbows rushed towards the wall stacks one after another, making it impossible for the Han army sergeants to effectively set up the ladder.

A trace of fear came over him. Azig did not dare and did not want to believe it. Could it be that the Ming army stationed in Jinzhou City already knew that there was a large army rushing to rescue them outside.

In any battle, fighting spirit is the most important. If the fighting spirit of the Ming army in Jinzhou City breaks out unprecedentedly and they are not afraid of death, even if all the Eight Banners sergeants are thrown into the siege battle, they may not be able to win Jinzhou City.

Azig, who was trembling slightly, stood up and walked out of the central military tent. He held a monocular and looked at the Jinzhou City ahead. He could even see clearly the eyes of the Ming Army sergeants on the city wall.

"Brother, can we capture the city of Jinzhou within today..."

Duduo suddenly appeared behind him, causing Azig's body to tremble again.

Putting down the monocular, Azig turned around and looked at Dodo, hesitating slightly.

"Third brother, I will try my best to capture the city of Jinzhou within one day..."

Duduo was obviously not satisfied with Azig's answer. Although he did not personally command the battle to attack Jinzhou City, the situation of the battle was still very clear.

"Brother, didn't you say that we would be able to capture the city of Jinzhou today? Why are you so hesitant?"

"Third brother, the Ming army in Jinzhou City has suddenly become fierce. I suspect they know that a large army is rushing to help them..."

Dodo snorted, looked at Azig, and spoke without mercy.

"Needless to say, the Ming army in Jinzhou City must have known about it, so they will fight desperately to resist. At this time, no matter how we attack, it is impossible to capture Jinzhou City. Such an attack,

It will only increase our casualties. You and I both know that the Han army suffered the most losses. If the Han army is completely lost and unable to attack the city of Jinzhou, should we send Mongolian left and right battalions and soldiers from the Manchu Eight Banners to attack the city..."

"When we run out of food and grass, we still haven't been able to capture the city of Jinzhou. At that time, will the Ming army rushing to the south let us go? Can we still successfully evacuate Liaodong..."

Azig was silent and did not speak to refute. The development of the situation was beyond his expectation, especially the Ming army in Jinzhou City suddenly became stronger, which made his thinking a little confused. But at this time, Duduo came to the temporary

In the Zhongjun tent, Azig's words made Azig even more confused as to how to speak.

Azig already felt a little guilty in his heart, his suggestion might be wrong.

"Brother, I don't think we should attack Jinzhou City. Since the Ming army in Jinzhou City already knows that there are reinforcements outside, they will definitely resist desperately. We will not be able to capture Jinzhou City in a short time. I predict that the Ming army rushing to the south for reinforcements will

We are waiting for us to run out of food and fodder, waiting for our attack on Jinzhou City to fail, and by that time, we will be completely passive..."

"Order all soldiers to rest. Tomorrow at Mao hour, we will attack the Ming army rushing for reinforcements. We must completely defeat them..."

Dodo's tone softened a bit. He had already seen Azig's expression. Since Azig didn't speak and there was a guilty look on his face, there was no need for him to complain or rebuke.

Azig looked up at Dodo and nodded silently.

"Okay, let's start deploying immediately and no longer attack Jinzhou City. As long as we defeat the Ming army rushing to the rescue, seize their food and grass, and turn around to capture Jinzhou City, it will not be difficult..."

...

Zu Dashou, Jin Guofeng and others were just guessing and had not made a complete decision.

In fact, Jin Guofeng had sensed Zu Dashou's hesitation, but when Zu Dashou issued an order to adjust defenses and asked Jin Guofeng to go to the west gate, Jin Guofeng sensed the danger.

After the Jin Tatars delayed their attack, Jin Guofeng quickly came to the south gate and walked up the city wall.

The attack of Hou Jin's Tatars was still fierce, but Zu Dashou only said a few words to make all the soldiers' fighting spirit high, that is, the army rushing to rescue Jinzhou City was about to arrive.

Later, the Jin Tatars began to attack, but Zu Dashou did not ask Jin Guofeng to leave.

After more than an hour, it became quiet outside the south gate.

Zu Dashou's face turned gloomy again, and without saying a word, he walked straight down the city wall.

General Military Mansion, Wing Room.

Zu Dale, Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan and others were all in the wing, while Jin Guofeng and others were blocked from the General Military Mansion.

Jin Guofeng did not leave immediately. He hesitated whether to go to see Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, but finally gave up and waited outside the General Military Mansion.

"Tell me, have the army rushing to support our Jinzhou city arrived..."

Zu Dashou asked very directly. Although the Houjin Tartars delayed their attack, the first round of attacks was still very sharp. If such an attack continued, Zu Dashou could not guarantee that he would be able to defend the city.

Many sergeants have hope in their hearts. They feel that the reinforcements will arrive soon and Jinzhou City will be safe soon, so they will desperately resist the attack of Houjin Tatars. If Houjin Tatars continue to attack, many sergeants will be delayed.

Without the help of a large army, and with heavy casualties, one would definitely suspect that by that time, no one would be able to save his life.

Zu Dale looked at Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan and others, and spoke first.

"Brother, I think the army rushing to rescue may not have arrived. Maybe the Houjin Tatars wanted to recharge their batteries, so they postponed the attack. Their first round of attacks was very sharp. If the army rushing to rescue Jinzhou City arrives,

Later, the Jin Tatars did not dare to attack Jinzhou City recklessly. They would definitely divide their troops to deal with the reinforcements and besiege Jinzhou City..."

Zu Dashou nodded slightly, agreeing with Zu Dalue's analysis.

There was silence in the wing.

Zu Dabi and Zu Kuan would not speak, and they would hardly consider this aspect.

After a long time, Zu Dashou finally spoke.

"If the sergeant cannot resist Houjin's attack, you will always obey my orders. No matter what order I give, you must execute it. By the way, send the sergeant to the Yin Hotel to see what Mr. Fang is doing. If you can't

Let Mr. Fang leave Yin Hotel..."

A smile appeared on Zu Dale's face, and he cupped his fists and saluted Zu Dashou.

"Brother, I will send someone to the Yin Hotel immediately, but we also need to make arrangements for the east gate, west gate and north gate..."

Zu Dashou glared at Zu Dalue and his face turned gloomy.

"Dale, follow my orders and don't think too much about other things, you know..."

Before Zu Dashou had finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps outside the wing.

When Zu Dashou saw the personal guards coming in, his face turned pale with anger.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to enter the wing..."

The guard knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and spoke.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, news just came from the south gate that the Houjin Tartars suddenly evacuated..."

Zu Dashou suddenly stood up, his body trembling slightly.

"You, what are you talking about? If you lie about military information, I will kill you..."

"Commander, the news is indeed sent by the sergeant from the South Gate. Lord Jin also knows about it and is rushing to the South Gate..."

The expressions of Zu Dashou, Zu Dalue, Zu Dabi and Zu Kuan all changed.

Without hesitation, Zu Dashou walked quickly outside the wing and spoke to Zu Dale and others as he walked.
