Ji'erhalang thought for a while and said: "The best way at the moment is to dig trenches and surround Jinzhou City, then collect more artillery and transport it over, and use firearms against firearms. As long as the firearms of the defenders in the city are suppressed, then with the If the soldiers attack with force, I believe we can capture Jinzhou City."
"How many guns do you think can suppress the firearms in Jinzhou City?" Mang Gurtai looked at him expressionlessly.
Jierhalang thought for a while and said: "The more cannons, the better. The tiger thieves in Jinzhou City are good at firearms, so we must first have an advantage in firearms."
"You have such a wonderful idea. There is no absolute advantage on the battlefield. I followed my father Khan and fought so many big and small battles. There were very few cases where I really had an advantage. On the contrary, the Ming army had the advantage, but in the end the winner was We are Dajin." Mang Gurtai said proudly.
Who could have imagined that their country would be what it is today? He still remembers the days when Yang Hao personally led the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress them. Those days of panic, but they were the ones who won in the end. The Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands The army became defeated by them.
Jierhalang said: "Although the artillery in Jinzhou City is a threat, as long as it rushes near the city wall, there is no threat. The real threat to the siege soldiers is the firecrackers used by the defenders in the city. The city is good at using firecrackers. There are too many gunmen. If the people we send to attack the city get close to the city wall, they will be shot by firecrackers from a long distance. In fact, among the people attacking the city, the number of people killed and injured by firecrackers is far greater than the number of people killed and injured by shelling. More."
"The tiger thief's fire blunderbuss is indeed very powerful, far from the kind of fire blunderbuss we have seen in the Ming army." Tong Yangxing nodded in agreement.
In the past, I had only heard about the powerful firearms of the Tiger Character Banner from the great golden generals who came back from the Ming Dynasty, but I had never experienced it personally, so I had a trace of doubt after all.
Now that they have played against each other, they can truly understand how powerful they are.
"According to what you two want, there will be no fighting in Jinzhou City!" Mang Gurtai looked at the two people in front of him with a dissatisfied look.
Huang Taiji lost two red flags in the hands of Tiger Flag.
As long as he takes Jinzhou City, he can prove that he is stronger than Huang Taiji.
Now that we have lost our troops and generals, if we go back in such a state of disgrace, wouldn't we be inferior to even Huang Taiji?
Jierhalang said: "I didn't say I was going to retreat, I just surrounded Jinzhou City temporarily. When enough cannons are brought from various places and cooperate with the soldiers' charge, I will definitely be able to capture Jinzhou City in one fell swoop."
In addition to a few people from Mang Gurtai, there were also several left leaders from the Lianglan Banner and a Taiji from the Mongols in the big tent.
Although these left leaders and Mongolian Taiji had never spoken, after hearing Jierhalang's suggestion, they all expressed support.
】
After this battle, everyone can clearly see that if someone like Mang Gurtai wants to take Jinzhou City with such force, he still doesn't know how many people will be killed or injured.
According to Mang Gurtai's style of play, even if Jinzhou City can be captured in the end, it will be more than worth the gain if too many people are killed and injured under Jinzhou City.
"The two of you went on an expedition with Tianming Khan. You should know that if you besiege Jinzhou City for one more day, the army will need to consume a lot of food and supplies. The longer the siege lasts, the more it will consume." Mang Gurtai said, " Moreover, we don’t know how long it will take to collect cannons from various places. How do you want to solve the consumption of food and grass materials in the meantime?”
His eyes swept over everyone in the tent one by one, and finally fell on Jierhalang.
"You can truthfully explain the situation here in Jinzhou City to the Great Khan. I believe that as long as the Great Khan knows the situation here in Jinzhou City, he will definitely support us in besieging Jinzhou City." Jilharang moved Huang Taiji out.
Upon hearing this, Mang Gurtai's face darkened.
With Huang Taiji providing all kinds of support behind him, even if he takes Jinzhou City, others will only say that it is Huang Taiji's credit. How much credit can he, the commander of the army, have left.
Mang Gurtai, who has always wanted to prove that he is stronger than Huang Taiji, naturally does not want this to happen.
"Besieging the city is indeed the best way at the moment." Tong Yangxing once again spoke out in support of Jierhalang.
The Han soldiers had already suffered enough casualties. He was really afraid that Mang Gurtai would continue to attack Jinzhou City regardless of the situation, causing all of his Han soldiers to be lost here in Jinzhou City.
Once all the Han soldiers were dead, he was afraid that Huang Taiji would use his head to quell the anger of the people. Even though he was a Han, he could not kill Mang Gurtai and Jierhalang.
"Big Belle, I also think that siege is the best way. When Tianming Khan attacked the Ming Dynasty city, he often laid siege to the city and then went to fight the Ming Dynasty reinforcements." Mongolia Taiji said.
Mang Gurtai, who was sitting in the handsome seat, squeezed the armrest of the seat with his fingers, and several of his fingers turned white from the excessive force.
"That's it, start digging trenches tomorrow and besiege Jinzhou City."
Faced with opposition from all parties to the storming of Jinzhou City, Mang Gurtai had no choice but to give in.
"Big Belle is wise." Tong Yangxing praised, feeling relieved in his heart.
During the siege, at least the Han soldiers were safe for the time being, and they no longer had to worry about being beheaded by Huang Taiji because all the Han soldiers were dead.
After making the decision to siege the city, Jierhalang and others all left the tent and went back to make arrangements.
In the end, only E Bilun and a general from Zhenglan Banner were left in the big tent.
"Amma, I think we can send troops to attack Jinzhou City again. Those Han soldiers couldn't attack Jinzhou City because they didn't work hard. In exchange, our Eight Banners men would definitely be able to attack the top of Jinzhou City and take the Let's go to Jinzhou City." E Bilun looked at Mang Gurtai with wide eyes.
Mang Gurtai waved his hand towards him and said: "Our target this time is not only Jinzhou City, but also Lushun. Jierhalang is right. There is no need to fight under Jinzhou City. The only way is to surround the points and call for reinforcements." What we are good at at Daikin.”
"Okay then!" E Bilun looked disappointed.
Mang Gurtai noticed the disappointment on E Bi Lun's face and said: "There will be no shortage of opportunities to show your face in the future. When the reinforcements of the tiger bandits arrive, Ama will definitely let you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person."
"Listen to Amma." E Bilun felt much better.
I figured it out myself.
As long as he has the opportunity to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, he can rely on killing the enemy to achieve meritorious service. When he turns around and attacks Jinzhou City, he will also have the opportunity to personally lead the troops to attack Jinzhou City.
On the other side, Jierhalang and Tong Yangxing came out of the big tent and walked side by side.
"Would you like to come to my place?" Jierhalang invited.
Tong Yangxing hesitated for a moment, but finally refused: "The Han soldiers suffered a lot of casualties in the attack this time, and many Han soldiers defected. There are many things going on. I'd better go back and take a look first, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
