Chapter 172 Offense and Defense (11)
The military commander of this family, Qin Guocheng, was a slave of the Shang family for generations. His grandfather moved to Haizhou, Liaodong in his early years with Shang Kexi's grandfather Shang Ji's official position. Qin Guocheng's father was Shang Kexi's brother Shang Kejin's personal army. After Shang Kejin's bloody battle with the Jin soldiers, Shang Kejin's father died in battle. Qin Guocheng, who was 15 years old, was captured by the Jin army and became a slave of Yiniulu, the Zhenglan Banner of the Later Jin Manzhou. After Shang Kexi surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, in order to appease Shang Kexi's heart, Hong Tai sent the Shang family members who had been captured over the years to return the Shang family, including Qin Guocheng.
After Qin Guocheng returned to the Shang family, because his ancestors had children from the Shang family for several generations, Shang Kexi believed in him very much. After twenty years, the family's son became a member of the governor of the King of Pingnan. He directly led his soldiers to fight for the King of Pingnan and made great contributions. He was also a person of one or two under the King of Pingnan. He was definitely not inferior to Xu Erxian who left Zhaoqing and Ban Zhifu, the first person in the palace of the King of Pingnan. If it were not limited to his age and qualifications, I am afraid that the first person under the King of Pingnan might have been Qin Guocheng!
At this moment, Qin Guocheng stood under the city wearing heavy armor that could not be poured into the arrows. The corpses that were lodged around him were not paying attention to him, and his eyes were only firmly on the city wall. From time to time, a cannon was exploding around him, but he did not frown at all, and his face was calm and calm.
The eight banners of the Han Dynasty imitated the Manchu Eight Banners system, and established official positions such as the chief, deputy chief, chief executive, assistant chief, assistant chief, and assistant chief. Shang Kexi was the prince of the Han Dynasty. The Qing court allowed him to wait for the Southern Ming Dynasty to be pacified and could be in the south forever. Therefore, although Shang Kexi's army belonged to the Han army's blue flag, the official position was set up by Shang Kexi. The Qing court did not interfere with him. Therefore, although Shang Kexi had several chief executives, most of them were empty titles and did not actually lead troops. For example, the second son Shang Zhixiao was the chief executive, but he never brought troops. There were only two chief executives who actually led troops, one was Ban Zhifu, a senior from Dongjiang, and the other was Qin Guocheng, an old man from the Shang family.
Shang Kexi believed in himself so much. Naturally, Qin State was grateful and willing to die for King Pingnan. Although occasionally he would think of the scenes in Liaodong that year, the death of his father, the death of his hometown master and the eldest son, the two wives of King Pingnan were raped by Jin soldiers, and then the defiled man who committed suicide by jumping into a well, the scenes of more than 70 people from the Qin family tragically died tragically, and everything he encountered in the years when he became a slave to the Jin people...
However, things that happened in the past cannot be changed, and the tragic death of relatives is not enough to stimulate the blood in Qin State. Only now, wealth, honor and glory are all given by the King of Pingnan. You will be a cattle and horse for the prince in this life!
It seems that there is nothing shameful to be a traitor, at least I am still alive!
There seems to be nothing to be ashamed of being an unfilial child, at least I am still alive!
There is nothing to be ashamed to be an executioner who slaughtered his compatriots. At least, it is someone else who dies!
The prince uses me. I am a vicious dog. If the dog doesn’t bite people, what else does the prince want me to do?
Take down Xinhui City, no matter how many people and dogs are left!
This new journey can be slaughtered once and then a second time!
In the flash of lightning, Qin Guocheng waved his fist hard towards the city wall.
"kill!"
Seven hundred soldiers wearing double armor and holding long swords of Shang family, fiercely pushed the battalion soldiers in front of him to the ground, and then climbed the ladder on their bodies.
"Shoot the arrows.Shoot the arrows!"
The cruelty of our soldiers made Lin Shanzhi not angry, but he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. Instead, he shouted at the top of his lungs. He ordered the archers to desperately suppress the Taiping Army on the city so that our soldiers could climb up the ladder smoothly. The arrows jumped up to three feet high in Xinhui City Wall like arrows, either drilling into the city or flying behind the city.
After our soldiers climbed the wall, the other Han flag soldiers who helped the battle also rushed up. The Han army in Zhenghuang Banner led by Geng Zhongde tightly restrained the defenders on the front of the city and did not allow them to withdraw their hands to reinforce our soldiers to attack the city area.
The remaining shield chariots in the green camp were gathered. Lin Shanzhi knew that since his soldiers were on the way, he would not be able to let him go. No matter how strong the Xinhui City and the Taiping Army were, they were not the opponent of the soldiers. These soldiers and horses treated by Pingnan Kings were all chosen as treasures. They were all armoured in the army. They were wearing several layers of armor and were not afraid of the Taiping Army's guns and arrows. Since they headed south, they have unknown how many Ming army cities were captured by these soldiers, and they have not known how many Ming army was dispersed by these soldiers.
Therefore, no matter how tenacious the Taiping Army in Lin Shanzhi's city is, it is no match for our soldiers. Xinhui City will be destroyed sooner or later. However, before our soldiers break the city, Lin Shanzhi must urge his subordinates to fight to the death, and he must restrain the Taiping Army's counterattack no matter what. Otherwise, our soldiers will fight hard and suffer much damage. At that time, the old King Pingnan will not need to take action. The masters of the Inlaid Blue Flag will make him look good!
…………
While the battle on the city wall was still going on, the newly appointed magistrate of Xinhui, Master Liao, brought a group of people from his yamen, and brought some pork and wine to the city. As a result, he found that the Qing army outside the city did not retreat, but instead launched an offensive. After magistrate Liao's face looked obviously ugly. Most of the security team members who had not experienced warfare when they saw that the blood corpses were killed in the city, they also bulged their legs and swallowed their throats.
Master Liao reluctantly suppressed his fear in his heart, shook and shook his mind to consider whether to go down the city immediately. However, when he saw Duke Xiang of Song sitting on the city gate with fearless face watching the war, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, thinking that the battle was in a hurry, and he had just become the magistrate and was about to show his strength. If he showed his timidity at this critical moment, Zhou Qianhu and General Song would look down on him, and I would be able to stand out in the future.
Forget it, forgot it, I am also in my 60s. As the saying goes, a few people have returned from war since ancient times. At this critical moment of life and death, although I have no power to tie a chicken, I can still cheer up the soldiers here.
"Come on, set up the drums, and our county will beat the three drums for the soldiers!"
County Magistrate Liao's request made the security team members stunned. They were originally here to reward him. They brought a lot of wine and meat, but which one brought the drums?
In a daze, one or two arrows flew over the head from time to time. The timid security team members were so scared that they instinctively lay on the ground. When they found the arrow flying behind the city, they hurriedly got up again and were in a false alarm. Facing the contemptuous gaze of companions, soldiers passing by and young men, they blushed and felt a little ashamed.
Compared with the ashamed security team member, Master Liao seemed to have weakened his confidence. He stood there muttering to himself, not mentioning the drum beat, but not mentioning the matter of going down to the city. The security team members were so anxious that they were anxious.
At this moment, Zhou Shixiang, who was commanding the battle, realized that Liao Ruixiang had brought people up and was very unbearable. He couldn't help but be furious and pulled a personal guard to tell Liao Ruixiang that his people would be brought down the city immediately. At the same time, Guan Wei asked Liao Ruixiang to tell Liao Ruixiang that your task is to stabilize the order in the city and organize the young and strong men to provide all supplies for the city, instead of leading people to stand foolishly on the city. If you stay in the city, the thousand households will let you boil golden juice like those young and strong men.
After hearing the personal guard's retelling Zhou Shixiang's words, Liao Ruixiang was not ashamed. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took everyone out of the city. He said a thousand and said ten thousand. He was still a timid scholar in his bones. Although he was waiting to die in prison because of Wuwu's anti-Shi Shi, he accidentally became a member of the "rebels" and turned into a county chief, but how could he see such a scene of killing and killing? Zhou Shixiang asked him to go down to the satisfaction of him. Master Liao was afraid that he would fall to the ground if he stayed there, and lost some of the county magistrates he had finally established in front of the security team.
What's more, is the golden juice boiled by humans? Not to mention sucking it, it will be fatal even if you smell it! I am a county magistrate, how can I deal with this drowning thing?
