Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Tong Zhongkui was busy at the top of the city until dawn before he finished strengthening the city wall with ice.He didn't care about going to rest the next day, he wanted to see how Mao Wenlong blew up the ladder.

Mao Wenlong was well prepared.It is also difficult for him and the Kuiyang soldiers under his command to deal with all the dozens of corpses provided by Zhang Quan.Not only the Rocketeer was prepared, but also a dozen burning carbon basins were prepared.

The two young men Ma Xianglin and Hou Gongji saw such a fresh way of defending the city for the first time, and they were eager to play the role of rocketman or throwing down the carbon basin.

Mao Wenlong hurriedly reached out to stop them, "When I want to shoot arrows down the ladder, I have to stretch most of my body out of the wall. Jiannu's arrows are thick and they shoot accurately. You are not used to the sound of broken wind. Wait for the arrows to shoot." If you get close, it will be difficult to block, and it will cause serious injury, and it will be fatal.

Let me arrange for the veterans in Kuiyang to handle this matter.You can see the whole field from the top, which is much better than hiding behind the shield and seeing only a little bit. "

Hou Shilu and Tong Zhongkui looked at Mao Wenlong and coaxed Ma Xianglin and Hou Gongji, who were red-faced and thick-necked, to be the Rocketeer with a few words, and coaxed them to a high place on one side, holding up shields and waiting to watch. Even Zhang Quan and Qin Liangyu felt that Mao Wenlong can handle things.Tong Zhongkui praised Mao Wenlong with a thumbs up.

Qin Liangyu led the Baigan soldiers to guard the city these few days, and he had seen Jiannu's archery skills.The bows in the south are softer, and the arrows are shorter and thinner than those in the north. They suffer a lot from the longbows and thick arrows in the north.Hou Shilu adjusted the division of labor between the forbidden army and the white-armed soldiers in time. The forbidden army targeted those under the city and on the ladder, and the white-armed soldiers mainly guarded those who climbed the battlements.

Qin Liangyu was a little embarrassed in front of Zhang Quan when he saw that his son was still a child after getting married.

She lightly scolded Ma Xianglin and said, "Is the shooting of rockets so easy to grab? Jiannu is going to attack the city, and there are soldiers supporting the ladder under the ladder, and there are soldiers who are protecting the ladder and shooting arrows on the city wall. Are these people all It’s just for watching. If Jiannu hadn’t ignited the gunpowder before moving the corpses wrapped in explosives away, your father-in-law’s plan would have been wasted.”

Zhang Quan felt that Qin Liangyu was right, but outside, he had to save face for the new son-in-law he had chosen.He persuaded Qin Liangyu: "Ruizheng is also eager to make contributions. Let them go up and watch."

Ma Xianglin was so ashamed, he took his shield and guards with him, and went to the highest point of the tower with Hou Gongji.

Mao Yunlong took them to see the new shield made overnight.

The shield was wide and heavy, requiring two strong men to hold it.The front of the shield is a wire-wound net, which is filled with cotton wool and then watered and frozen solid.The brawny men who were about to raise their shields were all neatly dressed, and the rocket fighters were also wearing double-layer armor except for their eyes.

Mao Wenlong explained to Zhang Quan and others.

"These are all good fighters in the army. Hurting any of them is like cutting out the heart of the last general. So we must protect them first."

Several people agreed with Mao Wenlong's approach.Only when you do things with the general in mind to protect the soldiers under your command, will the soldiers follow you desperately.Zhang Quan quietly added to Mao Wenlong's comments the words "details in roughness, love soldiers like sons".

Jiannu came to attack the city aggressively today.It was because after the news of Ning Wan, Ma Guozhu and I being cut was reported to Shenyang, the enraged Nu/Erhachi almost chopped off the flag soldiers of the Xianglan Banner who went to report the news.It was still a few Baylors who came forward and persuaded Nu/Erhachi.

Nu/Erhachi made no progress in Shenyang, and lost two more capable advisers of the Han family, and was on the verge of collapse every day worrying about gains and losses.On the one hand, he was reminding himself that if he didn't go south this winter, more than half of his tribe would starve to death.On the other hand, there is still a voice in his heart constantly reminding him that without the cooperation of the internal support, the hope of capturing Shenyang City is so slim that it is impossible.

Withdraw troops?impossible.

Because the withdrawal of troops is detrimental to the majesty of the Great Khan.

Because the withdrawal of troops cannot solve the food and so on that Jurchen needs to survive the winter this year.

But if they don't withdraw their troops, they just spend their time under the city of Shenyang. Nu/Erhachi can't see the possibility of conquering Shenyang, nor can he see the hope of solving the winter food and grass.

He felt a little bit regretful, and felt that it was a mistake to provoke Daming and think that he was vulnerable.The empire closed the door to exchange, and immediately drove the Jurchens to a desperate situation.

I should have actively sought peace with Daming when Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong last year.

The Battle of Saerhu was the Ming army's attempt to destroy the Jurchen, and the Jurchen cannot be blamed for besieging and killing the Ming army.At worst, return Fushun to the Ming army, and negotiate with Daming to continue to open Fushun as a horse market in exchange for enough grain, salt and iron.

Now that Daming has closed Zhangjiakou, and stopped all the market entrances with Mongolia and Jurchen, if Mongolia knows that Jurchen is dragging it down, will it become a gun in Daming's hand and fall to attack Dajin?

Can I hold the part of the Mongols I got firmly?

Nurhachi was not comfortable in such entanglements every day. When he heard the news of the unsatisfactory news, he immediately blamed Xianglan Banner for not achieving his goal.

Sibeile Huang Taiji came forward to persuade the furious Nu/Erhachi, and Nurhachi suppressed his anger and sent reinforcements to Liaoyang for the face of the owner of the Xianglan Banner.

Then Sanbeilemangurtai brought three thousand soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner over.

It is better to say it is a reinforcement than to supervise the battle.

Mang Gurtai was very upset when he was pushed to Liaoyang.Liaoyang City is stronger than Shenyang City, and there will be no fewer soldiers in Shenyang.There are so many Han slaves in Shenyang City, and there are still a lot of banner soldiers. The artillery is on the side of Shenyang, but there is no hope of taking it down.But he didn't dare to say this in front of Father Khan. Father Khan's eyes would tremble three times when he saw anyone.

The flag soldiers who besieged Liaoyang City were from the inlaid blue flag.

Mang Gurtai looked at their improvised ladder, and said angrily, "That's the only siege equipment you have prepared? Is it enough to siege the city?"

The owner of the Xianglan Banner is Juercha Anfeiyangu.He followed Nu/Erhachi when he raised his troops, and made great contributions after many years of fighting. He was one of the five ministers who trusted Nu/Erhachi.He stayed in Fengji and handed over the [-] flag soldiers with the blue flag to Liaoyang led by his eldest son Dar Dai and his second son Al Dai.

The brothers were not happy when they heard this.

Aldai said: "When the Great Khan ordered us to come from Fengji, he said that he was pretending to attack the city, causing the defenders to be tense, and the city would be in chaos. It is good if we can capture Liaoyang City. If we can't, we can save people." That's also fine."

Mang Gurtai sneered, "Then did you capture the city or save the people?"

Brother Dardelala said to Mangurtai: "Sanbeile is our Dajin's Batulu. With Sanbeile supporting Ming'er, he should make a difference. Since you are here as a reinforcement, we will give you a share." Build a ladder. Then Aldai and I each lead 3000 people to see who can attack Liaoyang City first.

As for the lack of ladders you said, except for the 3000 people holding the formation, I sent out to find wood and make more ladders. "

With a few words, Dardai forced Mangurtai to the point where he was about to lead his troops into battle.Without waiting for Manggurtai to answer, he turned to his brother and said, "Aldai, you go and tell those lazy people that if we climb to the top of the city tomorrow in Sanbeile, I will smoke the one who will embarrass the Xianglan Banner." Those lazy tendons of Niu Lu."

Aldai also understood his brother's plan, and immediately jumped up and ran out to inform.

So today's siege battle has become a competition between the three Jurchen second-generation generals.

Mao Wenlong kept staring at the soldiers who were besieging the city, and did not give an order for a long time.The biggest advantage of Zhang Quan is that he does not shirk when it is time to make decisions, and let the generals do things when they should not make up their minds.

Hou Shilu and the brothers of the Qin family were mobilizing soldiers to defend the city, and the artillery, as usual, roared and smashed into the scattered queue of Jiannu.Liaoyang City is no different from the past.The ladder to climb the city quickly leaned against the city wall again.

When people climbed the tower on the three ladders and the sound of fighting resounded on the wall again, Mao Wenlong gestured "quick" to his soldiers who were ready.

The dozens of headless corpses that fell from the sky did not attract the attention of the people below the city, and the defenders often threw stones and other things down the city during the siege.But when the rockets were shot down from the top of the city, Daldai, who was in charge of the battle, was the first to find out that something was wrong. He shouted loudly at the bannermen to intercept the rockets and prevent them from hitting the corpses.

Daldai's group suddenly stopped attacking the city, and the soldiers standing under the ladder immediately waved the long knives and short spears in their hands, calling the incoming rockets.

There are also soldiers who are ready to lean out to shoot rockets at the tower and shoot on their backs.

That is to say, at the same moment, before the actions of those bannermen were effective, several carbon basins that were burning to the highest state fell from the sky again.Dardai watched a succession of explosions that shook the ground beneath his feet.In the explosion, not only the wailing of the bannermen, not only the bloody limbs were blown out, but the ladders were also toppled in the smoke.

Mao Yunlong shouted to his soldiers: "Hurry up, throw the rest on the ladder."

He brought up soldiers in groups of three or four, and while Jian Nu was not slowing down, he threw down the prepared explosive carriers, along with the carbon basin.

The sound of the second explosion made everyone on the city wall feel it, and the timid ones were a little afraid that the city wall would collapse.The gunpowder smoke dissipated, and the city wall under his feet was as solid as before, but Jiannu lost the ladder to attack the city, and the soldiers defending the city shouted joyfully.

Hou Shilu and others saw that Jiannu had no ladder to climb the city wall, so they told the soldiers to hide, and let them shoot arrows into the city wall to vent their anger.

Tong Zhongkui slapped Mao Yunlong's shoulder excitedly, "Okay, good job. Jiannu's ladders are all blown up. Wait until Liaoyang City is defended, and I will give you credit."

Mao Yunlong clasped his fists at Tong Zhongkui, "Thank you, Commander Tong. These old soldiers under the command of the last general are capable." Then he saw Zhang Quan approaching, and added: "Master Zhang's idea is good."

Zhang Quan smiled and said: "It was Tong Zongbing who recommended you. Well, you did a good job. I will give you a credit first."

Ma Xianglin and Hou Gongji came down from the watchtower and treated Mao Wenlong with great respect.They could see clearly from above, those rockets attracted Jiannu's attention, and were blocked by the defending Jiannu.The charcoal fires that detonated the explosives/drugs in several places.

After the two came down, they surrounded Mao Yunlong and asked him why he thought of using a carbon basin.

Mao Yunlong answered truthfully.

"I don't know if the sky rocket can withstand the northwest wind. Besides, the rocket is easy to be blocked. Those charcoal blocks that have been burned to the fire only need one piece to fall in place."

Zhang Quan added "smart mind" to Mao Yunlong's comment.

Since Mao Wenlong made decisive contributions in this battle, Zhang Quan suggested to Hou Shilu and Tong Zhongkui that Mao Yunlong should select trusted soldiers from Kuiyang to join the queue to defend the city.

Mao Yunlong was overjoyed when he learned about it, and the opportunity to make contributions came.
