Zhao Wu in the room raised his hand and pointed at Wang Ju, saying: "Why are you still standing at the door? Why don't you go and perform the task quickly? If the task is not completed, I will be the first to punish you for offending you."
"Yes." Wang Ju turned aside to make way for Yun Xun to enter the room, and then quickly left with a puff of smoke.
After Yun Xun watched Wang Ju walk away, he withdrew his gaze and asked Zhao Wudao: "What mission did you give this guy?"
"Let him go to Nanguan Island to transport grain." Zhao Wu said, "The deputy division commander is sending an order, ordering us to defend Jinzhou City to prevent the invading slaves from having the opportunity to march westward to Lushun."
Yun Xun, who heard this, smiled and said, "I wonder why this guy Wang Ju looks so unwilling."
"There is no other way. Who doesn't want to go out of the city and have a good fight with the slaves? But you also know our situation. We have too few troops. If we really want to go out of the city, even if we pull out the entire military camp, it won't be enough." Zhao Wu He smiled bitterly.
Who wouldn't want to do something like eating two red flags, but he knew in his heart that his military camp did not have such good teeth and could not eat the tens of thousands of invading slaves and thieves.
Hearing this, Yun Xun sighed and said, "We have no choice. We have so few troops that we can only focus on defense for the time being. I heard that Shandong is already attacking Denglai. Once Denglai is captured, we will Here we can borrow the power within the pass, and the problem of insufficient troops can be solved."
"I look forward to the day when I can lead my troops into Shenyang Zhongwei and capture the slave chief Taiji alive." Zhao Wu said coldly.
When I arrived in Liaodong, I realized how miserable the people here were.
If it were just a natural disaster, that would be fine. But here in Liaodong, man-made disasters were greater than natural disasters. Countless unarmed people died tragically in the hands of slaves and thieves. According to the descriptions of some Han people who escaped from the rule of slaves and thieves, the Han people under the rule of slaves and thieves even lost their cattle and sheep. Rather, the upper echelons of slave thieves would often issue orders specifically to massacre Han people.
"There will be such a day." Yun Xun patted Zhao Wu's arm with his hand.
When the Han people in the army heard about the situation of the Han people under the rule of the slaves and thieves, there was no one who did not hate the slaves and thieves.
Zhao Wudao: "The leader of the slave thieves who led the troops to attack our Jinzhou City this time is Mang Gurtai. With him are the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags. Although we are defending the city, I think it is best to be able to defend the city in Jinzhou." Spending more slaves and horses under the city will not only weaken the strength of the slaves, but it will also be a good thing for us to take the initiative to attack the slaves in the future."
"How do you want to fight?" Yun Xun asked.
Zhao Wu looked at the sand table and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. As long as there is enough food and gunpowder in the city, there is no big problem in defending Jinzhou City. The key is how to hold off this guy Mang Gurtai and prevent him from retreating easily. .”
】
"I'll go back and ask the staff to come up with a detailed plan." Yun Xun said.
Zhao Wu nodded.
In order to ensure the stability of Jinzhou City, various supplies were transported to Jinzhou City from the south of Guam.
The supplies from South Guam are transported via Lushun, while the supplies from Lushun are mostly transported by sea.
The few supplies that the Ming army had left in Lushun had been depleted for so long, and there was not much left. As for gunpowder, the quantity was far from enough to consume the Tiger Banner army stationed in Lushun.
Jinzhou City rushed to transport supplies, while Mang Gurtai led the army all the way through Haizhou Guard, Gaizhou Guard, and finally to Fuzhou Guard.
At this time, the supplies in Jinzhou City have been prepared, and they are just waiting for the arrival of the army of slaves and thieves.
Mang Gurtai led his army to stay at Fuzhou Guard for only one day, and then immediately rushed to Jinzhou City.
Passing Luangu Pass, Xiaoheishan, and finally stationed five miles away from Jinzhou City.
Along the way, the army encountered no resistance at all, especially when it approached Jinzhou City. This made Mang Gurtai increasingly despise the soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag in Jinzhou City.
He felt that the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses were nothing more than that. They were no different from the Ming army he had fought against before. They would only huddle in the city and defend, and did not dare to fight with their Dajin soldiers and horses outside the city.
"It seems that the tiger thieves in Jinzhou City are planning to defend." Jierhalang came to Mang Gurtai.
Facing Jinzhou City's Jianqingbiye, he immediately understood Jinzhou City's plan.
Mang Gurtai snorted softly and said: "Han people all have this kind of virtue, they can only shrink into their shells like turtles, and what I am best at is breaking their outer shells and then killing them." "
"Don't be impulsive. The tiger thieves are different from the Ming army and are difficult to deal with. Otherwise, Jinzhou City will not be captured by them." Jierhalang is not as optimistic about this battle as Mang Gurtai, and he does not want Mang Gu Ertai lost Daijin's soldiers because of his carelessness.
After the two red flags incident, the number of Daijin's Eight Banners soldiers dropped sharply and they could no longer withstand greater losses.
Mang Gurtai glanced at Jierharang and said: "You are nothing like Amin. If it were Amin, he would definitely agree with my idea instead of being so timid like you. You are not like me at all. warrior."
Jierhalang felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
But he knew who Mang Gurtai was and was too lazy to argue with him.
"I'm going to bury the pot and make rice an hour in advance, so that we can spend the night in Jinzhou City today." Mang Gurtai said to Jierhalang.
Hearing this, Jierhalang frowned.
Feeling that Mang Gurtai was too arrogant, he advised: "It would be best if we can capture Jinzhou City today, but I think we should try a trial attack first to find out the defensive strength of the city."
"Well, let's leave it to those Han soldiers and let them fight Han people." Although Mang Gurtai looked down on the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses in Jinzhou City, he also knew that people would definitely die if they attacked the city.
Therefore, he left the main force of the siege to the Han soldiers he brought to preserve the strength of the two blue flags.
This is also a method often used by Dai Jin to attack cities in the Ming Dynasty.
Every time they attack a city, the Eight Banners soldiers are always reserved for critical moments. Most of the time, Han soldiers are used to consume the strength of the city defenders. The Mongolian soldiers brought are mostly cavalry and are not good at sieges. .
Jierhalang didn't persuade Mang Gurtai this time.
Someone has to test the defense of Jinzhou City, and there is no one more suitable to do this than Han Bing.
After having a meal, the army of slave thieves quickly began to attack Jinzhou City.
Jinzhou City is not a big city. It originally belonged to the hinterland. When the city was built, it was not built with high walls and thick walls like those important cities.
Even so, it is simply impossible to cross Jinzhou City like climbing over the wall.
Several walls of Jinzhou City have been renovated. If you want to capture Jinzhou City, unless someone inside opens the city gate, you can only attack with siege equipment.
Ladders and aerial vehicles are indispensable.
