Chapter 86: Thirteen soldiers return to Yumen

The snow was flying, and the black Eight Banners army appeared again at the end of the defenders' sight, and the defenders fell into endless despair.

Zhang Shicheng led several generals to defend the fortress, and his troops were almost exhausted.

"This is Huang Taiji's eleventh siege..."

Zhang Shicheng's eyes had lost his spirit, and his energy was exhausted by Huang Taiji's persistent offensive.

Huang Taiji was determined to attack Zhang Shicheng's power, and once again commanded thousands of troops to attack the fort.

Huang Taiji was wearing white armor and a black cloak, like ink.

The Zhengbai Banner cavalry lined up behind Huang Taiji, with golden swords and iron horses.

Huang Taiji's sharp eyes swept over Zhang Shicheng's fortress and said to a counselor beside him: "Zhang Shicheng's troops should be less than 300. It is hard to understand that with Zhang Shicheng's ability, he can actually stop my ten offensives."

The strategist speculated: "This is not Zhang Shicheng's ability. There must be a city-guarding general under Zhang Shicheng's command. If you can conquer this person for your use, Beile can order him to station in a place, so there is no need to worry about the enemy coming from that direction."

"What you said is reasonable, it's time to break through the dock."

"If you pass the order, those who go to the fort will receive 500 taels of silver and 600 households!"

Huang Taiji ordered that all Niu Lu were excited and brave enough to move forward!

After Huang Taiji's wheel battle, Zhang Shicheng's troops were less than 300, while Huang Taiji's troops exceeded 5,000, and directly crushed with more than ten times the troops. It was the final general attack!

"First, it should belong to me, Oboi!"

The number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, Obai, learned that the first victory of the first landing could increase the population of his fief from 300 to 900, so he was very excited and raised his shield and held a knife to lead his troops to attack the fort.

The fort defenders were exhausted and they could only use stones to attack the Eight Banner Army.

In front of the Eight Banners Army, the defenders' rockfall was dropped from the bucket.

Oboi carried a big sword and led the way, becoming the first Qing soldier to climb onto the stone wall of the dock!

Oboi was known as the No. 1 warrior of the Qing Dynasty. He did not gain a false reputation, but was awarded a title with real military merits!

Oboi's style of fighting is just one word - ruffian!

Zhang Shide hurriedly brought troops to fight Oboi, wanting to drive Oboi down from the city wall.

clang!

Oboi slashed Zhang Shide's spear with a knife, making a metallic impact.

The next moment, Oboi raised his shield and collided towards Zhang Shide.

Bang!

Oboi's burly body hit Zhang Shide, and Zhang Shide flew backwards and knocked down several sword and shield soldiers behind him!

Zhang Shide was hit by Oboi's terrifying force, and he felt his chest rushing blood, and his whole body was extremely uncomfortable, and even a rib broke!

Zhang Shide's personal soldiers looked at the fierce general Oboi step by step in horror, and subconsciously retreated backwards.

"Submit, or die!"

Oboi slashed with a knife, and Zhang Shide quickly rolled on the ground to avoid Oboi's slash.

With a clang, the knife energy stimulated by Oboi drew an inch deep crack on the stone wall.

If Zhang Shide failed to avoid Oboi's sword, he might have been dismantled.

Oboi suppressed Zhang Shide, and the Yellow Banners under Oboi successively climbed the city, defeated the defenders and expanded the scope of occupation.

The black smoke in Zhang Shicheng's fort was rolling, and there were fires everywhere.

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and said to the adviser: "It seems that Oboi has achieved the first success. When he annexed Zhang Shicheng's Yan Village, Benbeile planned to establish a new banner owner, with Oboi as the banner owner of the Yellow Banner. What do you think?"

The adviser replied: "Obai is brave and has great ambitions. But he is loyal to Master Beile. As long as Master Beile is alive, Obai will not betray him. Therefore Master Beile can reuse Obai."

Huang Taiji believed in the judgment of this strategist and nodded secretly.

The moment Obi stepped onto the stone wall, Huang Taiji had already won.

The Eight Banners Army rushed into the fort from all directions like a tide of zombies. Oboi severely injured Zhang Shide, killed more than 20 people, and was the best of the three armies.

Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shide's brothers and their generals were captured alive by Oboi.

These prisoners were taken to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji scanned the group of prisoners with dust, and finally his eyes fell on a general who glared at Huang Taiji.

This man was covered in blood, like a bloody man. After exhaustion, he was captured alive by the Eight Banners soldiers.

Huang Taiji had a premonition.

Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide brothers can block his offensive for several months, and they are inseparable from this general.

"Who are you?"

Huang Taiji despised Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide, but attached great importance to this general who was good at defending the city.

The man shouted sternly: "I am the great man Geng Gong, and I will never surrender to you!"

Huang Taiji and Huang Taiji's planner were stunned.

"Is it Geng Gong, who came to Yumen?"

Huang Taiji's planner immediately thought of the allusion that the thirteen soldiers returned to the Yumen.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns had already split into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu. The Southern Xiongnu depended on the Han Dynasty. The Northern Xiongnu competed with the Han Dynasty for the Western Regions. Geng Gong's Han army was besieged by the Northern Xiongnu and Cheshi army, outnumbered and trapped in the lonely city for half a year.

When the Han Dynasty reinforcements rescued Geng Gong, Geng Gong returned to Yumen Pass, and there were only thirteen people left in the group.

Even so, Geng Gong did not surrender to the Huns. He defended the lonely city with his weak force and resisted the Huns' army, which was memorable.

"No wonder this fort is difficult to attack. It turns out that you are defending the city. If you serve me, I can sign you as the banner lord, how about it?"

Huang Taiji also knew about Geng Gong, so he turned over and dismounted, helped Geng Gong up, and tried to surrender the bloody man.

Huang Taiji's talent "winds people's hearts" triggered and shakes Geng Gong's original heart.

Huang Taiji could become one of the overlords of the plains, not just relying on the direct troops of the Eight Banners, but also his talent and effect, allowing the Han, Mongolian, Jurchen, and Rouran tribes to be used by them.

Geng Gong's eyes were blurred, and his determination seemed to be shaken.

But then Geng Gong's eyes gradually became sharp and he bit his tongue: "Don't fall!"

"I am a loyal and righteous man."

Huang Taiji sighed.

His talents and means could win over the vast majority of military generals, including the Ming army generals Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others, but there was no possibility of surrendering to a very small number of loyal and righteous generals with firm will, such as Yue Fei and Geng Gong.

"The person who comes to Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide will loosen his ties."

Huang Taiji's attention returned to Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide.

With Huang Taiji's talent and means, it is difficult to recruit Geng Gong, but recruiting the brothers Zhang Shicheng is not a problem.

At this time, Chen Gong, who secretly sent a mission to the power of Prince Fusu, disguised himself as a vendor and passed by the edge of the battlefield. He saw the thick smoke rolling fort that Zhang Shicheng was defending from afar.

"It seems that Zhang Shicheng has been defeated by Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji's next target may be our Xiazhen."

Through the signs of the battlefield, Chen Gong inferred that the Yan Village power established by the salt merchant Zhang Shicheng was completely destroyed by Huang Taiji.

Zhang Shicheng is good at doing business and has certain abilities to become a domineering plain in the early stage.

Unfortunately, Zhang Shicheng had more than his separatist rule and lacked in progress. When he met Huang Taiji, who was like a wolf and a tiger, he was eventually defeated.

“We continue to go east.”
