On the northern city wall, there are not only Sinicized Jurchens, but also Jianzhou Jurchens transferred from other places.
After Nao Dai fell off the city wall, only two or three of the dozen or so soldiers accompanying him were killed. It wasn't until this time that the Eight Banners Army on the nearby city wall finally realized that something was wrong, and rushed to fight under the leadership of the officers.
In the east direction of the city, it was very lively. The Datong army pushed the ladder and advanced slowly under the cover of artillery fire.
In the north direction of the city, quietly, the Datong army carried ordinary wooden ladders, but rushed towards the city wall in the dark.
"With another half stick of incense, the reinforcements will arrive at the city!"
Zhang Fengyan hissed and roared.
No matter how fast a young person recovers, it is impossible for a fracture to heal in more than a month. He was still dragging a wooden frame on his legs, and he was fighting with the soldiers under his command, and was flanked by the enemies on both sides
? When the first Datong soldier climbed the city wall, hundreds of Sinicized Jurchens had already suffered hundreds of casualties.
If it weren't for the reinforcements being close at hand, with nearly 20% casualties, these Sinicized Jurchens would have collapsed long ago.
"Kill all the Tartars!"
Zhang Mingzhen led his troops to climb up the city wall, and the morale of the Sinicized Jurchens was greatly boosted, while the Eight Banners Army on both sides were frightened.
For these Eight Banners soldiers, they are already in a desperate situation. The main general is alive or dead at this moment, and there are many times in the city, their family and property are also in jeopardy, and if they continue to fight, the whole family may die.
The Sinicized Jurchen lineup had already been breached, and Zhang Mingzhen made up for it himself.
This man's weapon is not a spear or a waist knife, but a two-handed sword. The front of the sword is narrow and the back is wide, it can chop and slash the enemy, and it can also stab through armor.
A sword actually pierced through the cotton armor and directly pierced the Tazi soldier's abdomen.
He drew his sword and came out with a string of blood beads.
Due to the crowded terrain, it was too late to change his tactics. Zhang Mingzhen slammed into the point of the Tartar's spear sideways. The angle was deflected and the attack distance was shortened, which greatly reduced the damage of the opponent's long spear. After bullying, Zhang Mingzhen stabbed the opponent's throat with his sword, and immediately killed another enemy.
In the darkness, Zhang Mingzhen was invincible, killing and wounding six Tartars one after another.
The Datong Army and Sinicized Jurchen behind him became more and more courageous under his leadership. The morale of the tartars was already low, and when they encountered a fierce man like Zhang Mingzhen, they quickly collapsed and fled.
The Tartar soldiers fled into the city and went straight to their homes, trying to take advantage of the chaos and leave with their families.
"Don't chase the enemy, first seize the east wall!" Zhang Mingzhen shouted.
Zhang Mingzhen was born in Nanjing Jinyiwei family, a young ranger, famous in the capital, was introduced as a guest of honor by the eunuch Cao Huachun, and at the same time had a close relationship with the Donglin Party.
Historically, it was not until the end of Chongzhen that he got an official position and served as a guerrilla general in Zhejiang. After King Lu was defeated, Zhang Mingzhen trained troops in Zhoushan, and then welcomed King Lu back to eastern Zhejiang. After joining forces with Zhang Huangyan, he sent troops to the Yangtze River three times and besieged the Qing army in Chongming City for eight months.
After conquering Zhoushan for the third time, Zhang Mingzhen unfortunately died of illness, and the remaining troops were led by Zhang Huangyan.
In this time and space, Zhang Mingzhen learned that the prince and daughter were going south, and immediately bid farewell to Cao Huachun, and ran to Nanjing to try to join the army. But there is no way to join the army, because the expansion of the Datong Army is based on priority selection from farmers and soldiers.
It took a full year and a half before the Datong Army recruited troops from abroad, and only recruited those who were skilled in bows and horses¡ªexpanding the cavalry.
However, it is said that Zhang Mingzhen killed the Tartars in the northern city and immediately led his troops to the eastern city.
When the Tartars stationed in the east city heard the fighting in the north city, they didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the north city was under attack. This is normal, because there is also a Datong army in Dongcheng, and they are also waiting to fight.
It wasn't until the North City sent someone to ask for help, saying that the main general had an accident, that the Tartars in the East City led their troops to kill.
The two sides collided at the northeast corner of Phoenix City, and Zhang Mingzhen rushed forward with swords in both hands. After meeting the enemy, two long spears stabbed at the same time. Zhang Mingzhen avoided the vital point, and used his armor to resist the enemy's attack.
This gentleman is like a flesh-clad assassin, who wears armor to let the enemy attack, and then kills himself with a single blow of the sword.
Under the leadership of Zhang Mingzhen, the Datong Army turned into an awl, and Zhang Mingzhen was the tip of the awl, severely cutting the Tartar army formation.
"kill!"
The Datong army in the east of the city, who had been dawdling for a long time, finally speeded up, pushed the ladder against the gunfire, and approached the east wall.
There were enemies outside the city, and enemies on the sides. The fire inside the city became more intense, and the tartars who stayed behind on the east wall finally couldn't bear it anymore. Before the Datong Army's cloud ladder could attach to the city, these Tartars fled one after another, and then the whole army fled, fleeing from the city to search for their family members.
There are also Tartars who don't care about it.His cavalry hid along the river in a ravine three miles away from Lianshan Pass.
The scale of Lianshan Pass is very small, it is just a fortress.
There are only one hundred troops in the garrison, but there are many bannermen and family members nearby, and there are hundreds of nearly a thousand soldiers when they are mobilized.
The chief general who guards the pass is just a mid-level officer.
Lu Xiangsheng sent a hundred cavalry to stroll around Tongyuan Fort. The defenders of Tongyuan Fort were horrified and sent people to Shenyang for help. When passing through Lianshan Pass, the defenders of Lianshan Pass also knew that the Phoenix City was gone and that the Datong Army was attacking Lianshan Pass.
This is a plan to kill birds with one stone, because the Tartars of Caohebao also got the news. He thought that the Datong Army had gone to Tongyuan Fort, but Lu Xiangsheng's main force was actually heading towards Caohe Fort at this time.
Two forts and one pass were all deceived by Lu Xiangsheng.
Lin Zhidong fled to the other side of the river at Lianshan Pass in embarrassment with his cavalry. The accompanying Sinicized Jurchen yelled towards Guancheng: "Send a boat over here and take Naodai Beizi across the river!"
The defenders didn't hear clearly, but they also saw the clothes on the other side, all of which belonged to "our own people".
A defender came to the shore, finally heard what he was shouting, and hurried back to report: "Nao Dai Bei Zi is not dead, Nao Dai Bei Zi is back!"
?, after the report, the administrator will correct the content of the chapter later.
