"The camp is upright, the enemy has retreated."
Captain Chen of the artillery team strode over.
After pouring oil on the fire, the Han soldiers were killed and injured everywhere, and finally they could no longer bear it and retreated.
"Write down any shortcomings in the defense of the city. After this battle is over, we will summarize it carefully. We will not make the same mistake again." Zhao Wu told Wang Ju and then raised the monocular telescope in his hand to look into the distance. In the direction of the army of slave thieves.
Whether the enemy retreats or not depends on whether the slave bandit army withdraws. As long as the slave bandit army does not retreat, the current retreat is only temporary and a second attack will be launched soon.
"You've had enough fun this time! You don't usually have such a good opportunity." Wang Ju smiled and greeted Captain Chen of the artillery team who came over.
After hearing this, Captain Chen smiled and said: "It is actual combat that can best improve the level of a gunner. Naturally, the more such actual combat, the better."
"A lot of medicine and cannon have been used. You should take your time. Don't wait until the slave thieves are driven away. You will use up all the cannon. Your cannon will not be able to mount a bayonet." Wang Ju joked.
Captain Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, without cannons, my soldiers are still qualified soldiers. They can kill the enemy even with spears and wooden sticks."
The slave thief's attack did not put much pressure on them, and the two of them were in a good mood, joking with each other.
"Wang Ju, let your people find a way to destroy the cloud chariot below, so as not to give the other side the opportunity to continue using the cloud chariot to attack the city." Zhao Wu explained to Wang Ju.
】
Through the single-channel telescope, he noticed that the army of slave thieves had not retreated and might continue to attack soon.
"Yes, I asked people to burn the remaining cloud car." Wang Ju turned around and strode away.
Neither of them mentioned the two carriages.
The carriages are too strong and cannot be destroyed quickly. Without certainty that the army of slave thieves will retreat, they will naturally not let the soldiers take risks on the two carriages.
The city gate is covered with iron sheets on the outside and hardwood on the inside. It is not easy for a cart to ram open the gate. Moreover, the soldiers guarding the city are not wooden men. It is impossible to watch the cart ram the gate without being indifferent.
Although the Cloud Chariot cannot be completely destroyed, it is still easy to destroy one or two floors above it. In this way, the Cloud Chariot cannot reach the city wall and will always be much shorter than the city wall.
While Tiger Flag was busy on the top of the city, the slaves and thieves were not idle either.
Mang Gurtai saw that he had successfully rushed to the city wall of Jinzhou City with only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. Although he was repelled in the end, this allowed him to see the opportunity to capture Jinzhou City.
Someone directly brought Tong Yangxing and Jierhalang over.
Three people gathered together.
"Next, I need you to send all the Han soldiers out and attack the city wall in one go." Mang Gurtai looked at Tong Yangxing.
And instead of discussing with Tong Yangxing, he gave a direct order.
Hearing this, Tong Yangxing frowned and said, "Isn't it too risky? If all these Han soldiers are lost under Jinzhou City, it will be difficult for the Great Khan to explain."
He moved Huang Taiji out.
He really couldn't understand Mang Gurtai's desperate move.
There are other ways to attack Jinzhou City. There is no need to use human lives to attack the city. In his opinion, using human lives to attack the city is the most ineffective way to attack the city.
"I think General Tong's words make sense. Otherwise, retreat first and think of the most suitable way to capture Jinzhou City." Jierhalang was also not optimistic about Mang Gurtai's style of play regardless of casualties.
The Han soldiers had already suffered enough casualties. Although the Han soldiers were just consumables to Dajin, too many Han soldiers were killed and wounded at one time. Not only would it be difficult for Huang Taiji to deal with them, but it would also be detrimental to the subsequent attack on Lushun.
Mang Gurtai's face darkened.
Unexpectedly, both of them opposed his order. As the coach, he felt very uncomfortable, and he increasingly decided that these two people were sent by Huang Taiji to monitor him.
There were so many people in the Eight Banners, but he was assigned two people who were close to Huang Taiji as his deputies.
Thinking of this, Mang Gurtai became more and more unwilling to listen to the suggestions of the two people, and immediately said: "I am the coach of the army. You only need to cooperate with me. I, the coach, will naturally take care of other matters."
Hearing this, Tong Yangxing and Jierhalang looked at each other.
They all saw what the other was thinking in the other's eyes.
Knowing that he could no longer persuade them at this time, Mang Gurtai became so aggressive that he might even dare to stage a beheading of two of them in battle, and chop off their heads without being able to say anything about their grievances.
Mang Gurtai glanced at the two people and said: "You are sent by Lao Ba to cooperate with me. You only need to obey the orders. Other matters will naturally be decided by me, the coach."
"嗻!"
Tong Yangxing and Jierhalang decided to let Mang Gurtai do it at the same time. They no longer objected, but at the same time they also wanted to inform Huang Taiji of Shengjing about what happened here.
There is nothing they can do about Mang Gurtai, so naturally someone has a way to cure Mang Gurtai.
"Go ahead, I'm going to spend the night in Jinzhou City tonight." Mang Gurtai looked at Jinzhou City in the distance.
Tong Yangxing and Jierhalang retreated respectively.
One went back to the Han soldiers, and the other went back to Xianglan Banner.
"Amma, will Tong Yangxing listen to you honestly and send out all the Han soldiers?" After the two people left, Mang Gurtai's son Ebilun, who had been standing by, asked.
Mang Gurtai said with disdain: "Don't worry, the two of them don't dare to mess around. At most, Jierhalang won't be able to contribute much to the siege, but Tong Yangxing doesn't dare to be disobedient, otherwise don't blame me for dealing with him. "
He still had some scruples about Jierhalang, but Tong Yangxing was just a Han Chinese. Even if he was taken seriously, his origin as a Han Chinese could not be changed.
"Amma, do you want the child to go to Tong Yangxing's place and keep an eye on it?" E Bilun asked.
Mang Gurtai waved his hand and said, "You don't need to go. You stay with me. After a while, the Han soldiers attacked the city. Then you can lead the white-armored Ba Yala beside me to take action."
"Children listen to Amma." E Bilun grinned.
It was obvious that he wanted to give him the credit for capturing Jinzhou City.
As long as he takes Jinzhou City and has Mang Gurtai's backing, he can at least assume the identity of a Beizi.
As soon as Tong Yangxing returned to the Han soldiers, he immediately summoned all his Han generals, gave Mang Gurtai's order, and asked these Han generals to draw lots to decide the order of attacking the city.
Even the Han generals who filled the moat before did not hide and participated in the draw.
Wang Guoguang had the worst luck and got the first draw.
They were the first ones to attack the city.
In addition to him, there was another Qianhu who also got the first lot. Like Wang Guoguang, he was among the first batch of people to attack the city.
When all the generals had drawn lots, Tong Yangxing began to order the first batch of Han generals to attack the city with their troops and horses in the order they were drawn.
