Chapter 180 Liaodong Collapse

As the Jianzhou Jurchen's seven-hatred letter against Li spread throughout the world, Liaodong was shocked!

No one would have thought that the Jurchens, who were in confrontation with the Liaodong border army, would suddenly make such a big noise.

"Is this old slave crazy?!"

Zu Dashou looked at the messenger who was covered in wind and snow and hanging with only one breath left, his expression was extremely ugly.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Jianzhou Jurchens broke out of the white mountains and black waters and rushed directly to Kaiyuan, Shenyang, and Fushun.

The Liaodong frontier army, which was caught off guard, was completely defeated.

The commander-in-chief of Shenyang died in battle, the commander-in-chief of Fushun surrendered, and the military attache on the Kaiyuan front line even abandoned his troops and ran away.

now.

The army of Hou Jin surrounded Xiping Fort and was determined to capture this nail in a short time.

Once Xiping Fort falls, the entire Liaodong will be left with the bulging frontier town of Jinzhou.

You must know that after Jinzhou, there is Shanhaiguan.

If there was a mistake in Jinzhou, Shanhaiguan did not stop Jiannu from knocking on the pass.

After Jiannu entered the pass, his troops were directed towards the capital!

And there is almost no danger to defend this way.

these years,

Under the leadership of Nurhachi, the Jurchen tribe was integrated and had more than 70,000 combatable soldiers.

It is said that the rise of the Jurchens is actually inseparable from Li Tang.

There are many foreign ethnic groups around Liaodong, and the one that dominated here more than 20 years ago was the Mobei Khalkha.

In order to resist Khalkha, the then governor of Liaodong secretly supported the Jurchens.

Nurhaci grew bigger under such a situation, and was named the Chief Soldier of Jianzhou by Li Tang.

However, in recent years, the Khalkha Empire declined, while the Jurchen Empire began to rise.

As the saying goes, raising tigers brings disaster, and it is nothing more than this.

Some ministers in the DPRK saw the threat of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and they just issued a strict ban on transporting salt and iron out of the customs.

Plan to use this method to curb the development of the Jurchens.

But I didn't expect it.

After lying dormant for several years, Nurhachi overturned the table.

Found a country and conquer the Tang Dynasty!

"General!"

After learning the news, the Jinzhou military attachés gathered under Zu Dashou's tent with different expressions.

Some are frightened, and some are horrified.

As Zu Dashou's nephew, Wu Sangui became a young rookie in the army due to his extraordinary bravery.

At this time, he seriously reminded Zu Dashou: "Uncle, you must not miss that Xiping Fort!"

Yes.

Xiping Fort is a nail that blocks the Jiannu slaves. If it is captured, it will in turn become a hub for blocking the Liaodong frontier army!

Once Xiping Fort is lost, it will be extremely difficult for the Liaodong Frontier Army to regain the lost ground in Shenyang!

When the time comes, the responsibility for the lost territory will be enough for all the senior military attachés of the Liaodong Frontier Army to be held accountable!

I imagine many people will lose their heads because of this.

"We need to send troops to rescue Xiping Fort!"

Wu Sangui spoke decisively, hoping that Zu Dashou would make plans early.

How could Zu Dashou not know the importance of Xiping Fort?

But what made him hesitate was that... Jinzhou's garrison only had 30,000 soldiers.

If they support Xiping Fort, it may cause damage to Jinzhou city defense.

As long as his ancestor Dashou saved Jinzhou, it would be a great achievement.

When the time comes, there will be no accountability to his ancestor Dashou.

If Jinzhou is lost, all three generations of the ancestral family will be killed!

So he hesitates.

Wu Sangui was still a passionate young man at this time. Seeing that his uncle was indecisive, he and other military attachés in the tent did not dare to speak out to persuade him.

This allowed him to call for battle and lead three thousand Liaodong cavalry to the aid of Xiping Fort.

Zu Dashou saw that his nephew was so reckless, but he was also a little relieved when he had no choice but to do so.

He is worthy of being the young man he values, and he will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future.

Just when Zu Dashou was about to agree to his nephew's request, another piece of bad news came.

Guangning's general army rushed to Xiping Fort with 15,000 soldiers, but was ambushed on the way and the entire army was wiped out.

It turned out that the defender of Xiping Fort was rebelled and had already cooperated with Hou Jinliyingwai to capture Xiping Fort without any blood.

After Zu Dashou learned the news, his expression changed drastically.

"Quickly, arrange for soldiers to mount the city wall to defend the city!"

At this time, the night temperature in Liaodong was as low as subzero, and wearing the armor was like wearing a freezer.

Even if he wore warm fur clothes underneath, it would not help, and the weapon in his hand was even more freezing.

Even the Liaodong frontier troops who were called up to defend the city at this time also complained again and again.

When the fire was lit at the top of the city and the rolling logs and stones began to be transported.

But another sharp-eyed soldier exclaimed.

"There is someone under the city!"

The next second.

An arrow pierced his throat and fell under the city wall.

Wait for the torch and look down the city.

The Jurchen soldiers, who looked like ghosts, had already begun to climb onto the Jinzhou city wall!

The sound of fighting started immediately, the war drums roared, and there were bursts of killing sounds. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the place turned into a battlefield.

Zu Dashou looked at this scene, his face was gloomy, but his heart was full of luck.

Thanks to his quick reaction.

If this Jurchen pioneer is really allowed to control the city wall, open the city gate and let in the army, then Jinzhou will be really lost!

Wu Sangui also followed Zu Dashou to the wall. What he saw in front of him made him take a breath.

I saw hundreds of Jurchen soldiers who had rushed to the top of the city. Under the light of the fire, they looked like ghosts!

He was actually two heads taller than the surrounding Li Tang soldiers!

The maces and flails wielded by him will cause casualties to be half disabled if touched, and will die if they are rubbed against them!

A hundred-man general with third-rate martial arts training was furious and wanted to kill the ruthless Jurchen soldiers.

Never thought!

The angry sword fell on him, making a sound of gold and iron colliding.

Each of these Jurchen vanguards was wearing three layers of heavy armor, almost invulnerable to swords and spears!

Before the hundred-man general could react, his head was smashed into his chest.

"Personal guards!"

Zu Dashou's eyes turned cold when he saw the Jurchen soldiers charging on the city wall.

As Zu Dashou's personal soldiers, they were naturally carefully selected warriors who dared to fight.

"Pick up the flag!"

At the same time, Zu Dashou asked Wu Sangui to raise the general's flag high, his face as gloomy as water.

Three hundred personal guards rushed into the city wall, forming a formation with each other, and there was a faint blood-red glow on their bodies.

Looking at Zu Dashou's forehead dripping with sweat, this was the consumption caused by the activation of the military formation mentality.

The three hundred personal guards connected by their auras, almost everyone's combat power can be comparable to that of a third-rate warrior.

At the same time, they cooperated tacitly, even the acquired warriors did not dare to block them.

However.

The scene he saw next made Zu Dashou almost vomit blood.

Just look at the black light emerging from these Jurchen soldiers, which makes them look more like evil demons.

"Ah!!!"

In the fight.

Three hundred guards lost more than ten people in the encounter.

Fortunately, three Jurchen soldiers were also hacked to death.

But this loss ratio made Zu Dashou's heart bleed.

You should know that Zu Dashou spent a lot of effort to train his guards, and he wanted to hold them in his hands like a treasure.

"Uncle, I'll go!"

Seeing this, Wu Sangui immediately raised his gun and shouted, with a second-rate martial arts cultivation and extraordinary momentum.

Puff!

A Jurchen soldier was pierced in the throat by Wu Sangui's gun.

There is no heavy armor protection in this place.

Who would have thought.

Wu Sangui looked at the Jurchen soldier whose throat was pierced by him, and still raised his battle axe to chop at him.

This scene made the latter open his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

"General Wu!"

The two guards fought to the death to protect Wu Sangui.

At this time, Wu Sangui looked ahead with lingering fear, his mind full of the desperate Jurchen barbarians' faces, a feeling of fear rose in his heart, even the spear in his hand could not help but tremble.
