Chapter 447 Jinan War
Yue Tuo sighed softly and shook his head. He made an excuse and left the city. As soon as he got off the horse, he captured his close confidant Geshiha: "Privately arrange the preparations of the ministries with red flags."
Geshiha said in surprise: "Master, are we leaving now?"
Yue Tuo shook his head: "When the time comes, follow my orders."
After saying that, Yue Tuo looked up at the top of the city and couldn't help but shake his head. It wasn't that he was a coward, but judging from his previous battles with the Ming army, the current Ming army was no longer the Ming army during the Wanli Tianqi period. Since the new emperor Chen Cao came to power After that, their fighting skills soared, and even fighting with them in the wild would not bring any benefit at all. Just like Abatai, he still died at the hands of the Ming army.
"The only chance is to fight with their artillery, and then the cavalry will have a chance to make a detour..."
Amin naturally didn't know what Yue Tuo was thinking, but now that the Ming army had set up camp not far outside the city, he had some ideas: "Old third and fourth, you two brothers will lead the five thousand people of Zhenghong Banner to Mount Li." Ambush, bring enough food, and listen to the cannon command."
"It's Amma..."
As he spoke, Amin looked at Jinan's commander-in-chief Gang'a: "The Green Camp will all go out of the city to lure the enemy, and Ben Beile will take charge personally."
"twitter..."
Song Che set up camp five miles away from the city. At this moment, he led the four divisions of the Dingwu Army. He was not afraid of the Tatars in Jinan City at all. However, he also passed on the news of arriving in Jinan. At this moment, a group of them Working on tactics.
Feng Zhongping, Cao Shixiu, Liu Butang, and Yan Chun surrounded Song Che. Yan Chun was the least senior among them, but the only advantage was that he had the title of Marquis of Tongcheng, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.
Liu Butang, the most senior, was the first to speak: "Marshal, why not follow the old tactics and directly surround the city on all sides?"
Song Che also thought of this point of view: "This is not impossible. Our army's four divisions are strong enough. I'm just worried about Li Shan."
Liu Butang pointed at Lishan and said: "Soldiers are crafty. The Tatars are also familiar with the Three Kingdoms and Sun Tzu's Art of War. Lishan is right in front of Licheng. If I were to defend Lishan, I would definitely place an ambush at Lishan to take advantage of the horns." .”
"I agree with Junmen's idea." Feng Zhongping nodded.
Cao Shixiu and Yan Chun also nodded, and Song Che thought thoughtfully: "Look, we all know this. I believe the Tatars will definitely make a fuss in Lishan, and even attack Lishan from behind when we launch an attack on Licheng." Let’s do it.”
Liu Butang said: "Know yourself, know your enemy, compare your feelings with yourselves, they are ambushing in Lishan, we might as well just go with the flow for once."
Song Che was smart after all, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Hahaha, Liu Junmen's words really made me realize, well, since the Tatars want to set up an ambush in Lishan, we will surround Lishan and attack their reinforcements;
I believe that the Tatars will not let the Han army flags or the green camp soldiers be the main force. After all, they are ambushes. Therefore, they must be their real Tatars. They have few bannermen and they will definitely come to the rescue..."
Liu Butang nodded: "Marshal is right, our army can launch an attack on Licheng according to the plan. At that time, the Tatar ambush in Lishan will definitely come out in full force, and our army can take advantage of the situation and use all the ambush. Surround or not, when reinforcements from the city arrive, everything will be under our control."

March 10th, sunny weather
After Amin arrived at the top of the city, what he saw was the endless Ming army, which formed a neat formation based on regiments and surrounded Li Cheng.
"Tell Baile, there are Ming troops in every sect along the way."
Amin smashed a circle on the female wall at the top of the city, gritted his teeth and said: "It's just in time. I'm still afraid that they won't take action. I'm going to pass on the order. The troops should not go to the city first. The Ming army's artillery will be here soon. Let all the troops Take cover and follow my orders."
"twitter..."
Song Che followed the previously formulated plan and surrounded all the nine gates of Jinan, but left only Yan Chun's troops as counterattack forces. The main problem was that Yan Chun's 8th Division was a new division, and Song Che also They were worried that something might go wrong with these recruits during the battle, so they made this arrangement.
To the southeast of the besieged city was Lishan Mountain. Song Che knew it well and did not panic. He followed his usual instructions and ordered the thirty artillery pieces accompanying the army to fire immediately.
Not long after, the sound of artillery was loud, and the shells flew towards Jinan Nancheng, followed by helpless gravel and dust.
Sure enough, after three rounds of shelling, the infantry launched an attack towards Jinan in accordance with the order of attack.
Then the general's cannon on the top of the city let out a deafening sound, exploding among the army.
Fortunately, most of them were solid bullets, otherwise the casualties would be incalculable.
However, the soldiers still used a large number of Wugang vehicles captured in Xuzhou during the charge, and some of them avoided the attack on the city.
"shot..."
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
Arriving at the position fifty steps near the city head, under the cover of the Wugang vehicle, the soldiers of the 1st Division behind the vehicle raised their guns and fired at the orders of their respective platoon leaders. The rifles were powerful enough. Although the opponent also had musket cover, the shooting speed was But it was no match for the Ming army. After just one salvo, the counterattack force on the city was completely suppressed.
It was now the time to be beaten passively. As expected, Amin had someone light the smoke that had been prepared. When the black energy rose, Song Che immediately had someone light the flare.
Although signal bombs exploded in the sky, Amin avoided the artillery and bullet attacks at the top of the city and didn't take it to heart at all.
Seeing the smoke rising, Gurma Hui and Gong'a on Mount Li immediately got on their horses, ordered the horses' bits to be taken off, and ran out with their swords drawn.
Yan Chun was in the southeast. When he saw the sky suddenly filled with dust on Mount Li, he knew that the ambush troops above were dispatched. He did not panic and ordered all the units of the 8th Division to start taking action according to the plan.
Less than a cup of tea, Song Che clearly felt something moving behind him. When he saw the Tatar cavalry clearly through the telescope, he raised the corners of his mouth, put down the telescope, and shouted loudly: "The Tatars have an ambush, cover the artillery." Withdraw first.”
Amin found that the Ming army attacking the city began to retreat and the artillery stopped, so he stood up, looked at Yue Tuo not far away and said: "Yue Tuo, I want to go out of the city to pursue the Ming army. You can lead the troops to defend the city. If necessary, Initiate support immediately.”
"Second uncle, let's go..."
According to Amin's previous arrangement, Ganga led more than 20,000 men from the green camp to open the city gate and charge, while Amin followed closely with 8,000 men with the red flag.
"Shoot, shoot and stop them..."
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
