Chapter 402 The Ending Battle of Huai'an III
Tongjia Hana is a relative of Daishan, his eldest cousin is Daishan's wife, and he himself is affiliated with the Manchuria Red Banner. As the leader of the two red flags, there is nothing wrong with Daishan using his own people.
Hana is now the commander of Ximen and has the official position of deputy general. After Li Gangtai was transferred to the defense of Ximen, he was under Hana's command.
At this moment, Li Gangtai seemed a little nervous in his camp, because three days ago his cronies went out of the city to surrender to the Ming army, and he didn't know what the situation was. But before that, his plan was to start the war today. As his identity, he opened the city gate of the south gate of the key battlefield and let the Ming army enter the city.
Now, he also underestimated the power of Dai Shan and Yue Tuo, and actually thought that they would manipulate the battlefield and transferred them to the west gate defense.
It is Wang Xiaojie's Shenwu Army that is surrounding the west gate. Looking from the top of the city, as long as there are official roads or roads in the direction of the west city gate, they are all stationed Ming army troops who want to leave Huai'an. , maybe the only option is to fly out.
"grown ups..."
Li Gangtai's close confidant, guerrilla Gao Shun, walked into the big tent: "Sir, there is still no news from Lao Xie, what should we do?"
Li Gangtai looked at the ground silently for a long time, and then spoke: "My father is determined to follow the Jianzhou people to make meritorious deeds. My Li family...
The eldest brother died unjustly. He was deliberately killed by Yue Tuo. Gaoyou was a burden. Everyone knew it, but he deliberately wanted my eldest brother to stay behind. So what if he was the governor? It was just a false position. "
Thinking of his concubine being humiliated by Yue Tuo in front of him, Li Gangtai's youthful blood suddenly surged to Baihui point. He immediately stood up and said with a trembling voice: "I can't swallow this breath, my Li family After being loyal for so many years, Nurhachi relied on my family to help him win many battles during his reign. They were the only ones who established the state today. However, although my family has the title of Prince Consort’s Mansion, they are always bullied by those people. I don’t want this title. "
"Gao Shun..." Li Gangtai looked at Gao Shun with red eyes: "Are you afraid?"
Gao Shun solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Everything I have as a general is given by you. Although you are not very old, I, Gao Shun, have been following the Prince Consort since I was in Fushun. Although I have not become a servant, I still know my loyalty. I, Gao Shun, have no doubts about what your lord wants to do, so no matter what your lord wants to do, I, Gao Shun, will never ask any questions."
"good..."
Li Gangtai responded in a deep voice, and then held Gao Shun's fist: "Dead, once and for all, I can hardly bear the cowardice of those Jianzhou savages. The blood of Han people flows in my bones. I don't care what my father wants to do." No, but I must avenge this;
If the big thing comes true, I will risk my life to protect the wealth of your Gao Shun family in front of Emperor Ming. "
Bang...
Gao Shun immediately knelt down: "Please don't worry, sir..."
At this time, more than a dozen gunshots were heard from far and near. At the same time, there were more than a dozen explosions in the distance in the direction of Nancheng.
"Signal?"
Li Gangtai walked out of the big tent. He couldn't see the situation clearly here, but under the telescope, he could see the smoke rising in the direction of Nancheng.
"grown ups..."
Li Gangtai immediately walked into the big tent and asked the surrounding soldiers to guard the big tent, and then said: "This is the agreed signal between me and Emperor Ming. Before the war begins, twenty signal cannons will be fired specifically to attack the city."
Gao Shun took a deep breath: "There are 300 Hana soldiers, 500 Mongolians, 1,000 Han flag guards, 3,000 people on the city wall, and 5,000 people stationed in the barracks under the horse road. If our troops For a surprise attack, Hana must be captured first, and then the generals from the remaining three barracks can give up resistance."
Li Gangtai's identity is not simple. He said confidently: "I am familiar with the generals from the three barracks. As long as Hana is captured, they will definitely choose to defect. I am not worried about the Hana thieves now. I am just worried about the siege now." Do the Ming troops at Ximen know our details, otherwise they will not enter the city."
Gao Shun clasped his fists: "Sir, once this is done, there is no turning back. We must capture the West City in one fell swoop before Daishan and the others react, and then let the Ming army enter the city. However, if this continues, I will eventually worry about the safety of the Prince Consort and the others. .”
"My dad is not stupid..."
Li Gangtai only said one sentence, and then said: "Go down immediately and give orders, prepare the muskets, and listen to my orders after burning a stick of incense."
"yes..."
When more than a dozen artillery shells hit the city, Daishan on the city wall also ordered a counterattack because he understood that the Ming army did not dare to carry out large-scale shelling. However, Li Yongfang on the side suddenly discovered that the servant who usually served Li Gangtai The figure of team leader Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui wore the uniform of a soldier, and with this identity he could come and go freely on the city wall. However, his original identity also prevented him from messing around on the city wall, but he walked to the side of the second general Li Shutai.
Li Shutai didn't notice Zhang Gui before. He didn't notice Zhang Gui until he was dodging the red cannons behind the female wall in front. He was suddenly curious: "Zhang Gui, why are you here?"
"I am here to take action on the orders of Third Young Master."
Li Shutai was stunned and shocked. He immediately lowered his head and lowered his voice and said calmly: "What does the third child want to do? Has he eaten the guts of a leopard?"
Zhang Gui responded without squinting: "Back to the Second Young Master, the younger one doesn't know the Third Young Master's intention. He just came here under orders."
Li Shutai thought that Zhang Gui was sent by Li Gangtai to assassinate Yue Tuo, and immediately felt something was wrong. So he ignored Zhang Gui, got behind Li Yongfang, and gave the leader of his soldiers a wink.
The wily Li Yongfang didn't know about this situation, so he slipped away from Daishan on the pretext of checking the artillery positions in the eastern section. However, his actions did not escape Yue Tuo's eyes, and he saw Yue Tuo wink at the slave behind him. The servant nodded and left.
"What is Zhang Gui here for?"
Li Shutai replied: "Dad...Amma, Zhang Gui said that the third brother asked him to take action on camera. I'm worried that the third brother will never be able to suffer this loss and wants to attack Baylor."
Li Yongfang walked away and said, "That bastard wants to destroy our Li family? Call Zhang Gui."
Zhang Gui followed and saluted in front of Li Yongfang: "Master..."
"Tell me, what did your master ask you to do?"
Zhang Gui looked around, but did not notice Yue Tuo's servants who were following him not far away, but he finally whispered: "Young master just said, please pay attention to the signal cannon."
"Signal cannon?"
"By the way, there is also a young master who wants me to be here. In addition to protecting the master and the second master, I also want to remind the master to act with camera."
Li Yongfang stood still and trembled: "Protect me? Let me act with the camera?"
As he spoke, he looked at the houses in the city that were affected by the explosion and murmured: "Signal cannon..."
"father..."
Li Soltae shouted.
Li Yongfang was shocked and reacted instantly: "This traitor, the second child, quickly bring someone to stop him..."
The reaction from the Li family was huge, and everyone on the city wall saw it clearly. Without the need for the slave to report back, Daishan turned around and looked over: "What happened to the consort?"
The servant ran over quickly, saluted and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort asked me to report that they are going to the west of the city to stop Li Shutai. I don't know what the matter is?"
Daishan was shocked, and Yue Tuo stepped forward and shouted: "You bastard, that traitor is definitely going to surrender to the enemy. Amma, I will lead the troops."
Before Daishan could react, more than a dozen shells flew towards him, still in the city.
Li Yongfang saw clearly the direction in which the shell exploded on the horse road, and his heart sank: "It's bad, the traitor has figured it out."
Hana only knew that there was the sound of exploding artillery shells. As long as the location was not near him, he didn't care. Besides, as the commander of the West City, his task was to guard the west defense line of the city to prevent the Ming army from attacking from here.
When he looked out before the battle, he clearly saw no less than 100,000 Ming troops outside the city.
Hana only hoped that this war would end as soon as possible. He surrounded hundreds of acres of good land around the capital. He only needed dozens of Han slaves to cultivate it, and he could become a great man in the Eight Banners in the future.
Hana, who was having a sweet dream, suddenly received an uninvited guest, General Li Gangtai.
Li Gangtai, who entered the tent, said urgently before Hana could speak: "Sir, something happened. Xu Guang, a guerrilla from the Left Wing Battalion, surrendered to the enemy, and I caught his tongue."
Hana stood up immediately after hearing this: "Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true. Now our troops are gathering and preparing to go to the left wing camp to suppress. I also ask you to lead your troops to confirm immediately. If this happens, the prince will blame you, and you can't afford it."
Seeing the serious expression on Li Gangtai's face, Hana did not doubt that he was there, and immediately ran out of the tent with his troops, then mounted his horse and shouted: "Assemble the soldiers, go to the gate of the left wing camp and wait for orders."
Hana and Li Gangtai had just driven their horses out of the camp. Gao Shun, who had been waiting outside the camp gate for a long time, galloped over and shouted at Li Gangtai: "Sir, something bad has happened. Xu Guang of the left wing camp has rebelled."
Hana was about to curse, but he saw that Gao Shun did not stop his horse, but rushed towards him. Just as Hana frowned in confusion, Li Gangtai, who had been preparing for a long time, drew out his long knife and killed Hana with one blow. The soldiers around him, Hana realized at this time that Li Gangtai was about to resist, but he was attacked from the front and back by Gao Shun and Li Gangtai who were galloping forward. After blocking the knife swung by Li Gangtai, he was unable to block the galloping war horse. Gao Shun came, and the blade swung past Hana's neck relying on the speed of his horse.
Blood sprayed on Li Gangtai's face, and the people around Hana were surrounded and killed by Li Gangtai's soldiers who came from outside the camp gate.
Li Gangtai picked up Hana's head and shouted: "Come in and kill all the Tatars."
Three hundred cavalry with red flags were gathering inside the camp gate. When they heard the shouts of killing, they immediately rode towards the gate of the camp to kill.
Li Gangtai's soldiers and horses, who had been waiting for a long time, led by Gao Shun, rushed towards the Hana soldiers in the camp. For a moment, the sound of killing was loud in the west city.
When the guerrillas in the camps on the left and right heard the shouts of killing, they all led their troops out of the camp to come to the general's camp to see what was going on.
