Chapter 249: Fighting Deshengmen

The Zhenghong Banner was actually destroyed by three or four hundred people in the hands of the group of musketeers. This musketeer was really terrifying.

"Saha...Saha... Bring four Niulus with me, rush over, and slaughter the guys who were hiding in the distance!"

"Master Beile, don't worry, I'll take someone to kill you!"

Saha pulled out the scimitar and led the reserve team behind him to pounce directly on. Saha ignored Ma Fang's people and rushed to the musket teams that were setting cold guns. This scene fell into the eyes of Heiyunlong, and cold sweat immediately broke out.

Heiyunlong knew the disadvantages of his musket team. He was a pure musket soldier with no protection at the front. Once he was approached by others, he would only be slaughtered. Heiyunlong had never thought of learning to lay iron moulds, get a shield soldier, and slowly advancing the Iron Tortoise Formation that learned iron moulds.

But after realizing it, Black Cloud Dragon realized that this thing was a giant gold-swalking beast, and it was the limit to getting hundreds of musketeers. What kind of Iron Tortoise is not everyone as rich as Tiemo.

"Mom, Lao Ma... Lao Ma... I'm here. Go to the right wing quickly and block the Tartars. If my musketeers are gone, you will compensate!"

Ma Fang had red eyes and spitted on the ground, "What are you calling me when you are in your mother? I can't afford to pay it back..."

As he spoke, Ma Fang had already taken people to intercept Saha. The musket team under Heiyunlong also had a lot of effort. Ma Fang was different from Tie Mo, and there was no wealthy Shanxi merchant behind him. The army was completely reliant on the allocation of funds from the court. If the funds were not enough, he could only find a way for himself.

Ma Fang and Hei Yunlong made a fuss and sold iron, followed Tiemo to resell old weapons and made a fortune, so they were able to build a musket team. This musket team is indeed powerful and looks pretty good, but when these people fight, bullets are rushing, and it's all money.

Ma Fang and Saha soon fought together, and at this time the musket team could not shoot with their eyes closed like before. When Saha saw this situation, he forced Ma Fang to retreat with one knife and shouted loudly: "Get together with the Han people, hurry up and split up some people to chase the people they had caught before, and take the opportunity to kill the firearm team."

The firearms team was afraid of accidental injury, so Saha responded quickly and drove thousands of Ming people to the outer defense line of Deshengmen. Ma Fang was immediately in a dilemma. The musket team made General Wang Qianyuan's hair look almost white, "General Ma, what should I do? The Tartars are hiding behind the people, and the brothers cannot aim."

Ma Fang frowned and looked extremely ugly. What good way could Ma Fang have? This move by the Tartars is really too poisonous. If the Tartars do nothing, they will soon start a melee battle with the Musketeers. In the melee battle, the Musketeers have no chance of winning at all. Without the Musketeers' firepower support, the difficulty of defending Deshengmen will be greatly increased.

Soon, Ma Fang waved his left fist fiercely and said sternly: "Call to the front, no one is allowed to go forward anymore, let them escape to both sides, or turn to fight the Tartars."

"What if they don't listen?"

"If you don't listen? Then shoot and put away your woman's kindness. You are not the first recruit. Let the Tartars break into the Musketeers' position. Do you know what the consequences are? The Tartars attacked Deshengmen, and our pressure is already great enough. Without the support of the Musketeers, how many more brothers' lives will we have to lose to defend Deshengmen?"

Wang Qianyuan lowered his head slightly. He knew very well that what Ma Fang said was not false, but he really made up his mind and felt a lot of unbearable.

Soon after, gunfire sounded again for a quarter of an hour. This time, there were waves of scolding sounds in front of the position, and the authentic Ming Dynasty mandarin was used.

The helpless people fled everywhere, and those who ran towards Deshengmen either died at the hands of the Tartars or were shot by the Ming army. These fled, including some local gentry, but under the butcher's knife, they were no different from ordinary people.

Human life is so fragile, one knife, one shot, or even one punch. On this cruel battlefield, human life is as fragile as a piece of paper. Ma Fang led the remnants, after suffering huge casualties, finally repelled Saha's attack.

On the other side of Deshengmen, Man Gui was also in a tough battle. The combat power of the elite soldiers of the two yellow flags was no worse than that of the Zhenghong flag. In addition, Haoge personally supervised the formation, the two yellow flags used all their strength, especially the several Niulus of Yuetuo's troops, which tore open a hole.

Man Gui had many soldiers and horses, but his combat power was also uneven. Thousands of Shanxi soldiers were incomparable to the border troops of Datong Prefecture, so Man Gui gathered all Shanxi soldiers together, and thousands of people guarded a corner of the position outside Deshengmen. Man Gui thought that these guards were not capable of combat effectiveness, but relying on sufficient troops to defend a position should not be a big problem.

Unfortunately, the performance of Shanxi soldiers was really disappointing. Perhaps because there was no chief general, the Shanxi soldiers fought in disarray. After an hour of battle, when three Niulu of Yue Tuo's troops came to the front of the formation, it was the most severe moment. Deputy General Li Beichuan actually surrendered at the battle and became Yue Tuo's vanguard officer with dozens of confidants.

Shanxi soldiers were already messy, and Li Beichuan's noisy was even more immense. Yue Tuo had less than a thousand people around him, but he defeated 4,000 Shanxi soldiers and fled in panic.

After learning that the Shanxi soldiers collapsed, Man Gui stomped his feet and cursed, "A group of cowards, I shouldn't have accepted these things at the beginning."

"Sir, please calm down. You can't blame them all. I heard that the general Li Beichuan suddenly surrendered to the Tartars and also served as a pioneer in guiding the Tartars, which led to the rapid collapse of the troops in Shanxi." Lou Daji quickly persuaded.

"What? If I ask this bastard Li Beichuan to catch him, I will definitely beat him all the feces and urine." Although Man Gui cursed, he bandaged the wound and led Lou Daji and hundreds of elite soldiers to fill the gap.

If the Tartars were allowed to break through from themselves, the first unlucky one would be Hou Shilu's Xuanfu soldiers. Now all the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu have been pushed forward. If the Tartars were allowed to kill from the rear for a while, it would be a defeat.

Man Gui hated Li Beichuan, but in his heart, he also understood why Li Beichuan did this. Li Beichuan was Zhang Honggong's confidant and beloved general. Now that Zhang Honggong was asked to be executed, Li Beichuan would not be able to survive. After the Tartars retreated, the court would definitely pursue Zhang Honggong and Geng Ruqi's greed. By then, the first person to be cut off will definitely be Li Beichuan.

Alas, I can only say that Li Beichuan is hiding so well, there is no sign before.

Yue Tuo finally defeated the Shanxi soldiers and wanted to win a first-class result, so how could he give up the position? So, the situation reversed and Yue Tuo became the side guarding the position. However, Yue Tuo faced three-sided siege. In order to regain this defense line, Man Gui, Lou Daji, and Wei Dongli led the troops forward and bit them. The retreating Shanxi soldiers were also driven back by Man Gui. Man Gui gave a death order. It would be fine if the position was taken back. If it could not be taken back, all the Shanxi soldiers who escaped at the fortress would be punished, and the leader would even ask for the killing.

Without any retreat, Shanxi soldiers and horses burst out with strong combat power. They now hate Li Beichuan to death. If it weren't for Li Beichuan, Shanxi soldiers would not have collapsed so quickly, nor would they become the laughing stock in the eyes of all soldiers. If they didn't do anything, they would have no shame to see their aunt when they returned to Shanxi.

Yue Tuo was originally full of confidence, but he was soon confused by the counterattack initiated by Man Gui. "Hurry, tell Haoge, quickly think about my troops who are getting closer, damn, are these gangsters crazy?"

Under Yue Tuo's command, the bravest one in battle was not the number one in Haidong, but Li Beichuan who had just defected to him.

Li Beichuan didn't want to be defeated and killed just after surrendering, so he was extremely desperate, and he also wanted Yue Tuo to see his abilities and be able to do a good job in the future. Although Li Beichuan had a good idea, he was easily targeted. So, Man Gui saw Li Beichuan at a glance.

Man Gui is a hot temper and a tough guy. He doesn't think of such a villain who sells his owners and seeks honor. After knocking a Tartar with one knife, he stepped forward and said, "Li Beichuan, I'll chop you up today."

"Mangui?" Li Beichuan's eyes widened. He knew Mangui. Mangui might not have a good mind, but if you talk about his subordinates, there are definitely few in the world.

If you fight with Mangui, isn’t it a long life that the old birthday boy hangs him? Li Beichuan resisted for a moment and then retreated. Mangui was not willing to let him go, and he would bit Li Beichuan with his people. Gradually, there were more and more Tartars around him, and fewer and fewer people. Before he knew it, Mangui had already entered the hinterland of the Tartars.

Yue Tuo is also a smart person. Seeing that his position is out of control, if Man Gui can be killed, it will be a great achievement.

"Buck, go over and leave Mangui. If Mangui can be left behind, I will give you a reward!"

"Master Shebel!"

Buck tightened his belt, naked, and rushed towards Mangui like an iron tower. After a moment, the two fought together. Since the war started, Buck has been following Yue Tuo and has not participated in the direct battle. Although Mangui is brave, after all, after fighting for a long time, his single physical strength is worse than that.

After only a dozen moves, Buck gave back, but suddenly pulled upwards. Mangui had rich experience in the match and tried hard to dodge. Even so, his arm was cut. Buck did not retreat but advanced instead, and the scimitar in his hand became faster and faster. Soon, Mangui's left leg was cut again.

"Hehe, Mangui, you are mine!" Licking the blood on the tip of the knife, Buck showed a cruel smile. His Chinese words were not good, but Mangui understood it enough.

Man Gui raised her eyebrows and glared at her disdainfully, "Hey, you are the only one? You want to kill me too?"

"Then you try..."

Buck turned his scimitar and was about to fight again. He never thought that a spear would stab him out from the diagonally, forcing him to retreat. The visitor, dragged his spear, stood beside Mangui, and said anxiously: "Sir, retreat quickly!"

"Wei Dongli? Who asked you to come?"

"Haha, the general is in danger. Can the last general sit still? "Wei Dongli shook his spear and pointed directly at Buck, "Tartars, let me meet your scimitar!"

As he spoke, Wei Dongli put his left hand behind him and kept making gestures.

Man Gui gritted his teeth and finally retreated. Man Gui retreated with injuries, but Wei Dongli stayed in front.

In the evening of the battle, Yue Tuo was finally defeated and found Wei Dongli's body under a broken wall. This man with a strong armor was covered with scars. He glared at the sky with his eyes open, but there was no sound.

......

There were fierce battles outside Desheng Gate, and similarly, there were also murderous sounds outside Guangqu Gate, but compared to Desheng Gate, the battle outside Guangqu Gate was somewhat inconsistent with the fighting sound.

The Huang Taiji Sect Abatai, Jirgalang and Ajige besieged Guangqumen, which was very powerful. However, the attack here was completely incomparable to the Deshengmen. It seemed to be fierce, but in fact, the marching formation of the Later Jin soldiers was very delicate. Jirgalang and Abatai were behind the two wings, and Ajige was at the forefront. Ajige met Zu Dashou. After less than an hour of fighting, Ajige led his troops back half a mile.

Ajige is not a fool either. Although he is irritable and reckless, he is not really stupid. Huang Taiji clearly wanted to use the Ming army to consume Ajige's strength.

Similarly, Zu Dashou also saw some signs. Ajig did not really fight, and Jirgalang and Abatai on both wings were not busy attacking. So Zu Dashou did not pursue, but continued to defend his position.

In this way, a strange scene appeared outside Guangqu Gate. Both sides shouted loudly, but there was always a loud thunder and little rain.

.........

Just as the war broke out outside Beijing, the army led by Tiemo finally crossed the vast sea prairie.

Since we arrived at the eastern part of the Hanhai Grassland, there has been a Mongolian army following on the flanks. This army was sent by Lin Danhan, with the purpose of monitoring Tiemo and preventing unexpected situations.

On November 11, the second year of Chongzhen, the blue sky and white clouds, and the grassland was covered with the cold wind. Mixed with the slight coldness of early winter, a Han and Mongolian coalition army rushed to the periphery of Kalaqin. Zhou Dingshan and Tuobuhua were divided into two teams, and at the same time cleaned the periphery of Kalaqin. Since Kalaqin's main force entered the pass with Huang Taiji, there was no room for resistance against the sudden raid.

On November 13, the troops of Yunfu cleared the periphery and launched a fierce attack on the Kalaqin headquarters. This time, Zhou Dingshan and Tuobuhua were still vanguards, and the cavalry raided the Fengliu River where Kalaqin's tent was located.

Kalaqin Taijimogunath urgently assembled 3,000 troops and fought a battle with the Yunfu cavalry in the east of the Benliuhe River. Unfortunately, the three thousand tribesmen who were organized in a hurry were not the opponent of the elite soldiers of the Yunfu. In less than an hour, the Yunfu cavalry swept across the Kalaqin cavalry, and Taijimogunath was defeated and killed. At the same time, Mint, the largest general under Lin Danhan, also arrived from the southwest. For a moment, Kalaqin's tribe was split into two like a piece of pie.

On November 14th, the troops of Yunfu crossed the river and defeated Kalaqin's final resistance and took down Kalaqin's tooth tent. The troops under Lin Dahan surrounded him from behind and grabbed all the cattle, sheep and population of Kalaqin's tribe.

The once arrogant Kalaqin tribe was like a native chicken and a tiled dog in front of the Yunfu army.

At this point, the gates of the Later Jin Kingdom were opened, and the troops of the Yun Mansion could directly attack Huanglong and attack Shenyang in less than three days.
