However, the Eight Banners cavalrymen of the Bordered Yellow Banner, as the most elite armored soldiers of the Two Yellow Banners, under such momentum, they were able to remain calm in the face of danger.

The cavalrymen of the Xianghuang Banner couldn't stand their ground, and couldn't resist the Ming army's attack from three directions, so they had to retreat one after another.

However, before they had retreated a few miles away, a large formation of the Ming army appeared in front of them, but the Ming army following from each battalion gathered together, blocking their last retreat.

Man Gui chased after them, entangled these cavalry with yellow flags, and the remaining Ming troops from the two directions also surrounded them.

Although Baylor of the Xianghuang Banner was extremely brave and the Jurchen cavalry fought to the death, they still failed to resist the absolute numerical superiority of the Ming army and were wiped out fifty miles away from Dadian Fort.

The infantry of the Hou Jin Army who came from Changdian Fort was also ambushed by the Ming Army many times and suffered heavy damage. They had to give up chasing the former cavalry troops and moved back to Dadian Fort for repairs.

When they returned to the city of Dadianbao, they found that the flag of Ming Dynasty had already been replaced on the top of the city.

Cao Wenzhao appeared at the top of the city, laughing loudly: "You bitches, I have been waiting for you for a long time! Send the order, beat me, beat me hard!"

All of a sudden, guns and guns fired together.

After the Jin army couldn't support it, the Han army flag was the first to flee, and then the army was defeated. Cao Bianjiao immediately led more than [-] Kuandian Fort defenders out of the city.

After a while of fighting, the Mongolian army flag also collapsed, and the remaining Jurchen infantry with yellow flags were unable to stand alone, and soon collapsed completely.

Cao Bianjiao led the Ming army to catch up with them, and he stabbed the Tartar soldiers.

At the same time, the battle at Dadianbao had also entered the final stage, and Xiong Tingbi began to increase his troops when he realized that the reinforcements of the Hou Jin Army could not approach within [-] miles.

More than 150 Zhenlu guns were transferred to the base of the city. Xiong Tingbi went down the mountain, and immediately under the flag of the Dazhu, his face was livid, and he said nothing.

After a long while, seeing how tenacious the Tatar soldiers resisted, he ordered to his side:

"Fire the gun!"

With the sound of clear and crisp gongs, the Ming army that was attacking the city suddenly retreated back like a tide under the leadership of Xue Laiyin, Zhao Lijiao, and Zuo Liangyu.

Before the Eight Banners soldiers, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, understood, there was a "rumbling" sound, and countless shells fell to the ground among the Eight Banners soldiers at the top of the city.

All of a sudden, the city was ablaze, and even many Jurchen cavalry mounts who were waiting to charge at the gate of the city were frightened and fled everywhere.

The Ming army's bombardment was still going on, and De Gelei thought that the Ming army would care about the people in the city and would not use such indiscriminate means.

Unexpectedly, for the Zhenlu Cannon equipped with front sights and rear sights, it is not a problem at all to accurately shoot the bombardment within the area of ​​the city head.

As for Dadian Fort, this is not a problem. The big deal is that it will be destroyed and rebuilt. Now that Daming has money, he has money!

The castle can be rebuilt, but the Tartar soldiers killed one and one less!

Numerous people were injured in the Jurchen bombardment. Within a few rounds of bombardment, the city was full of wailing. Dege gritted his steel teeth and said:

"Send people into the houses of the people, arrest the Han people and go to the top of the city, and arrest all the Han people in the whole city to the top of the city!"

"I don't believe it, he is so hard-hearted!"

The later Jin army had no firearms. As long as the Ming army solved the problem of reinforcements, there was no need to forcibly attack the city, and they could completely free up their hands to blow up slowly.

For Hou Jinbing, this is tantamount to slow death.

Just when the situation was getting better and better, a pacesetter came to report:

"Reporting to Taitai, the Tartar soldiers captured thousands of people in the city and gathered at the top of the city. The Firearms Battalion did not dare to continue firing, so I came here to ask for instructions!"

Xiong Tingbi frowned when he heard this, and picked up the binoculars to watch.

Indeed, the surviving Tatar soldiers were all hiding among the people in the city, and the people who were captured in the city were old and young, men and women, and they were all crying.

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi put down the binoculars, clenched his fists bitterly, and murmured: "A barbarian is a barbarian!"

"Taitai, tell me to take the brothers to rush again!" Man Gui said.

Zhao Lijiao also said: "That's right, the people are innocent. Jiannu is already at the end of his strength and can't resist our army's offensive at all."

Zuo Liangyu sneered, and came out and said, "Even if we take people to charge, wouldn't the Tartars hide behind the common people and fight with our army?"

"If that's the case, how can the soldiers be afraid to fight the fierce Tartars? Is the life of our soldiers or the lives of these people more important?"

"If we give up the bombardment and go to the city, the Tatar soldiers will know that our army is afraid of this, and they will even threaten the people!"

"Not to mention the more casualties caused by the soldiers, if the Tartars rush out of the city and onto the plain, they will not be able to chase them back!" Zuo Liangyu knelt on the ground and said loudly:

"Taiwan, military law is ruthless, swords and guns have no eyes! It doesn't matter how many people die, the important thing is that our army needs to eliminate the new force of slavery as much as possible!"

"Otherwise, Jiannu will come back, and more people will die!"

Everyone wanted to say more, but Xiong Tingbi pondered for a while, but raised his hand suddenly, and said, "Stop! Listen to the order of the governor, and continue to fire!"

Anyone who knows Xiong Tingbi knows that once the military order has been issued, there is absolutely no possibility of overturning it.

Xiong Tingbi has always had military orders like a mountain, and he has never overturned any of his military orders for six years in Liao Dynasty.

Iron-like discipline is also the main reason why the Liao Army has been able to rise rapidly in recent years and become an elite capable of fighting the Eight Banners Army.

As soon as the words fell, all the generals looked at each other and had no choice but to nod.

Standing at the top of the wall, De Gelei looked at the other party's silence, sneered, and said, "I think the Ming army is really scared."

"It should have been like this a long time ago, pass on my words, catch more Han people, let them stand in the front, and the whole army will rush out of the city with me!"

A leader with a yellow banner also said: "There is a flat river outside the city. As long as you leave the city, the Ming army will not be able to catch up with our Jurchen warriors!"

Dege nodded, with a plan in mind.

All the Tartar soldiers were rejoicing, but suddenly there was another deafening cannon fire in the distance. The Jurchen soldiers were horrified to find that the firearms battalion of the Ming army had fired again.

What to do now?

Going out of the city, facing the army formation of the Ming army waiting in full force, there is no possibility of victory. If you stay in the city, you can only wait to be blown to death!

Thinking of this, De Gelei's face darkened, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay you bear man, count yourself as cruel, count as cruel!"

7 Chapter Fifty

"The officers and soldiers fired the cannons!"

"The officers and soldiers didn't care about our lives..." Along with the many Tartar soldiers, the people of Dadianbao were also shocked.

They were taken captive to the top of the city, but in fact they all drifted with the tide, and no one really resisted at all.

Many of these people were young and strong, but even these young and strong people mostly hid in the crowd. The big swords in the hands of the Tartar soldiers frightened their spirits away.

"boom--!"

As the first projectile hit the top of the city, it was completely chaotic.

Knowing that the officers and soldiers continued to bomb, no matter the cursing Tartar soldiers or the fleeing civilians, they all have the same thoughts now.

Escape, flee to the city!

Rather than being crushed to death, it is better to fight these Tartars!

Until this time, some people had the heart to resist. Seeing the chaos on the top of the city, Xiong Tingbi immediately ordered to stop firing, drew out his knife and shouted:

"Listen to my orders, the three armies attack the city!"

The Eight Banners Army threatened the lives of the people in the city. Many soldiers of the Ming Army held their breath in their hearts. When they heard the order, they rushed forward shouting to kill.

Man Gui, Zhao Liaojiao and others also ran in the front without caring about their own safety.

Shouting to kill and shaking the sky, straight into the sky.

As the Ming army smashed through the gate of Dadianbao, which was reinforced by the Tatar soldiers, countless people rushed in, perhaps for military merit, or for revenge, and they took back the town.

After a fierce street battle, Xiong Tingbi rode his horse into the city, saw the devastated streets, and said in his heart that he was not uncomfortable, that was a lie.

In the city of Dadianbao, there are more than [-] people, and only four out of ten are left. After the Ming army entered the city, it seemed that they had come to hell.

Those Tatar soldiers who were madly retaliating before they died, used their lives to make the last madness.

On both sides of the street, the surviving people in Dadian Fort watched the Ming army enter the city, but they were not happy.

Even some survivors who escaped from the top of the city stopped howling, and started to turn their heads to look at Xiong Tingbi with hostile eyes.

A group of medical officers with the army followed the brigade into Kuandian Fort, and immediately treated the people.

A medical officer hurriedly ran to a group of women in ragged clothes covered in feces and urine. Immediately, his eyes widened and he was stunned!

He had never seen such a scene before. The clothes on these women were so tattered that they could no longer cover their bodies.

Several of them had their chests gouged out by the Tartars, resulting in shocking black and red scars. Among this group of women, even if they were not dead, their eyes were dull.

After being stunned for a moment, the medical officer quickly took off his uniform, put it on one of the women, and turned around to fetch the medicine box to start the treatment.

However, this medical officer, who has treated countless seriously wounded people, seemed a little helpless when facing these women. He squatted on the ground for a long time, got up silently, and murmured:

"Their hearts are dead."

"I can't save it..."

Before he could finish talking to himself, there was a terrified shout from the side, "Don't come here! You bitch, don't come here!"

A woman with disheveled hair curled up in a corner, crying helplessly.

The medical officer was slapped severely, and his face immediately turned red, but he still raised his hands, approached slowly, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are the army, the imperial court is here to save you."

"The imperial court..." Hearing this word, the woman's eyes sparkled, and then she laughed again:

"What's the use of the imperial court? Where were you when my man was killed? Where were you when my son was picked on the point of a spear by the Tartars?"

"Say, where are you?"

"Where did you go, my family is gone, my whole family is dead! Do you know?" The woman shook the medical officer crazily as if in a daze.

The medical officer couldn't answer these questions, and could only let the woman punch and kick him. After a while, the woman suddenly hugged him and cried.

The medical officer looked down at her and sighed heavily.

Xiong Tingbi rode on a horse and walked between the streets and alleys. He could see and hear everything around him, but his face was still very calm.

Zhenliao has been in the Liao Dynasty for ten years, and such examples abound in these years.

But starting today, those days will never come back.

Daming not only wanted to retake Liaodong, but also continued eastward and southward, so that the entire northern border would submit to the feet of the Celestial Dynasty!

Only when the country is strong and prosperous can we usher in a real peace and prosperity for the world!

A pacesetter rushed over and said, "Report to the platform, we found the body of the chief Dege class, what should our army do with it?"

Xiong Tingbi was expressionless and said:

"Cut off his head and hang it on the top of the city!" After speaking, he sighed, his expression slightly moved, and he said slowly: "To comfort the heroic spirits in the city..."

The pacesetter nodded and left immediately.

Xiong Tingbi regained nearly [-] miles of land in Kuandian within two days, making Liaodong complete again.

However, the entire Liao army did not have the slightest joy of victory, and they were all immersed in a deep sorrow. Seeing the tragic situation in Dadianbao, it is difficult to make people feel any joy.

Now all their thoughts are only one, revenge!Kill more Jurchens!

There was no chance of recuperation. Xiong Tingbi left Zuo Liangyu's car battalion to assist Cao Wenzhao in guarding the Six Forts of Kuandian, restraining the retreat of the Eight Banners Army, and then the main force of the Ming Army went south and rushed into North Korea without stopping.

……

Since Xiong Tingbi regained Quanliao, the life of Pidao has become much better.

Mao Wenlong is no longer as petty as before, and resources can be continuously sent from the Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong behind him.

In the past two years, the Dongjiang Army has not been idle.

Rectifying armaments, reshaping the organizational system, and preparing armor and equipment are all a matter of course.

Now that they have sufficient resources, they can support more people and troops. In addition to expanding the army, Mao Wenlong also sent troops to the two small islands around Phi Island.

The Dongjiang army culled all the beasts and raptors there, opened up wasteland, farmed, and built houses. Now it is developing in an orderly manner.

After three years, the emperor's imperial decree came again, and the entire Dongjiang army was extremely excited.

They all knew it was time to counterattack.

Along with the imperial decree came the Laizhou Battalion of the Denglai Navy led by Zhang Pan, who brought a large number of ordnance and equipment.

15 taels of military pay, 150 sets of new-style border army cotton armor, [-] squatting guns, [-] blunderbusses, and [-] swords...

There are many kinds of these things, and they are all the latest models of the nine-sided system. There are too many to count. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army are all smiling and dazzled!

Zhang Pan led the Laizhou Battalion to set off from Penglai Water City, crossing the barrier of sea waves, landed on the island, and delivered all these materials to Mao Wenlong without missing a beat.
