Body 551 [Sinicized Jurchen]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lu Xiangsheng looked at the earthen castle in front of him and said with emotion: "The enemy will defend well, so don't take it lightly."

    To the northeast of Phoenix City, the 600-meter-wide passage has been blocked by a castle built by Nao Dai.  Also, it doesn't look very new, it was built at least a year ago.

    This earthen fortress turned out to be his mother's bastion, fully imitating the Datong Army bastion in Gaizhou!

    Therefore, digging trenches and attacking Phoenix City becomes digging trenches and attacking a bastion, which can delay Lu Xiang's promotion for at least a month.

    One month, plus the previous consumption, is enough for Dorgon to send reinforcements.

    The problem is that Dorgon also has the Datong Army, and the Tartars in Phoenix City are doomed not to wait for reinforcements.

    After camping on the bank and digging for a day, the five hundred warriors selected by Nao Dai also went into the mountains to the north and came around to attack at night.

    The officer who led the night attack was called Zhang Fengyan. He spoke Chinese and had a Chinese name. The men farmed and the women weaved, just like the Han people.  .  But his ancestors were from the Jurchen clan, but they were Sinicized.

    If it wasn't for Nurhachi's rise of troops, these Sinicized Jurchens in Liaodong would become real Han people in a hundred or two hundred years.

    Nao Dai was very apprehensive about the Datong Army's hot air balloon, and Zhang Fengyan was not allowed to set off until after dark.

    By the time these Tartars crossed the mountains and circled to the rear of Lu Xiangsheng's sub-camp, it was almost dawn, which happened to be the time when the soldiers were most asleep.

    Zhang Fengyan squatted among the thorn bushes, quickly saw the direction, and marched forward with the cat in his belt.

    But not too far down the mountain, Zhang Fengyan secretly thought something was wrong.

    In order to prevent night attacks, Lu Xiangsheng actually cut down the weeds and trees around the camp for a mile, burning what could be burned, and cutting down what could not be burned.

    Zhang Fengyan couldn't hide, so he could only keep his body low and trot towards the camp with his troops.

    About ten meters away from the camp, Zhang Fengyan felt that he bumped into something.

    "Ding Dang Dang Dang"

    In the silent dawn, a crisp bell sounded suddenly.

    Zhang Fengyan buried his head to check, and there was a hemp rope dyed black on his calf.  Moreover, there is more than one hemp rope of this kind, which is circled around the camp, and small bells are sporadically tied to the hemp rope.

    The Datong sentinel who couldn't help but fight his eyelids was instantly awakened by the ringing of the bell. He vaguely saw someone outside the camp, so he immediately blew the copper whistle hanging on his chest.

    "Quick retreat!"

    Zhang Fengyan turned around and ran, no matter how late it was, it would be too late.

    Half of the dragoons of the 14th Division are in this division battalion, and the cavalry leader Lin Zhidong is also there.

    Lin Zhidong is from Huating County, Jiangsu Province. He was supposed to be a Wu Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and he was the only citizen of that class.  A craftsman from a livestock farm.

    But in this time and space, there is no Chongzhen sixteen years.

    Lin Zhidong was born in a wealthy family in Huating, his grandfather was a student of the Imperial College, and his father was admitted as a scholar.  The new dynasty of Datong was established, and his family asked him to be a civil servant. Lin Zhidong could only obey his father's order, and was even promoted to the section chief of the official department of Huating County.

    Hearing that the Datong Army was expanding and recruiting men skilled in archery and horses, Lin Zhidong quietly joined the army.

    The chief of the county government office came to be a recruit, the only one in the whole army.  Moreover, he has great strength, is skilled in bow and horse, and is familiar with military books.  Of course Lin Zhidong gained attention, and in just two years, he was promoted to the cavalry commander of the 14th Division.

    "The whole army is on horseback!"

    The newly built camp has no special stables, and all cavalry sleep with their horses.

    Hearing the warning, Lin Zhidong quickly rushed out with the cavalry, and the infantry had already removed the hemp rope outside the camp.

    "Da da da da!"

    The sound of horseshoes behind him made Zhang Fengyan feel desperate. Two legs could not run faster than four.

    Although he was the general of the dragoons, Lin Zhidong brought a bow.

    When the soldiers under his command rode horses and fired their guns, Lin Zhidong drew his bow and shot an arrow, which accurately hit a Tartar on the back.

    After the other dragoons fired, they immediately retracted their guns and drew out their waist knives to hunt down.

    Lin Zhidong drew his bow and set his arrow again, and shot out the second arrow with a whoosh, overturning another tartar again.

    It can only be said that the archery skills are amazing. On the high-speed bumpy horseback, two consecutive arrows hit the running enemy, and the moonlight at dawn was very dark.  As expected of the 16th year of Chongzhen, the only Wu Jinshi of civil origin.

    Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhang Fengyan planned to fight stubbornly, but he couldn't gather the army at all.

    Although these Jurchen soldiers who were incorporated into the Han army banner fought bravely, they would definitely run away if they were destined to die, because they still had a chance to survive.

    Zhang Fengyan picked up the bow and arrow, then put it down again, and unexpectedly surrendered on his knees. He was the only one among the five hundred night raiders who surrendered.It's just an officer of his own, so it's best to get miraculous results, and it doesn't matter if he takes the opportunity to escape.

    Lu Xiangsheng has already made plans to attack the city for a long time, first dig trenches and attack the bastion, and then dig trenches and attack Phoenix City.  The shortest time is three months, and at least half a year if things go wrong.

    However, it was said that Zhang Fengyan was released in the evening, and he ran all the way into the mountains.  After climbing over the mountains, he picked up a stone and slammed it at his calf.

    He didn't break the bone once, and he smashed it a second time with pain, breaking the calf bone before stopping.

    He slid down the hillside, messed up all the way, and his clothes were scratched all over his body.  At the foot of the mountain, he tried his best to climb towards Phoenix City, but was discovered by the defenders the next morning.

    When the doctor was setting Zhang Fengyan's bone, the chief general Nao Dai came over to question him in person.

    Zhang Fengyan struggled to get up, lay down in pain and said, "The Nanmanzi is cunning. They set up a lot of ropes with bells outside the camp. If they accidentally touch the ropes, they will ring the bells. Our Eight Banners warriors who attacked at night touched the enemy camp.  The outer area was discovered, and then was hunted down by the cavalry. The humble officer managed to escape back to the mountains, but accidentally broke his leg, so he escaped now."

    Nao Dai asked some more details, and then said: "You are good at convalescing your wounds, and you will be able to reuse them when you recover." </div&gt
