"Winter, winter, winter, winter, winter..."
In the early morning of this day, what appeared together with the rising sun was the thunderous sound of war drums and the flags that covered the sky and the sun.
The barbarian army came out of the military camp in a mighty manner and came to Shenyang City with murderous intent.
The barbarian army, which had been silent for more than two years, once again showed its sharp claws.
This time Hong Tai mobilized all the troops from the country, plus 20,000 cavalry from the Horqin tribe, a total of 100,000 troops. Chen Bing and the people under Shenyang City wanted to capture Shenyang in one fell swoop.
Hongtai sent General Arha and led five thousand soldiers to call for battle.
"Hey, people in the city, listen, my Great Khan personally led an army of 200,000 people and has surrounded Shenyang City. If you are wise, quickly open the city and surrender. Welcome our Great Khan into the city. He will naturally receive generous salary, glory and wealth. Enjoy endlessly.
Otherwise, once the city is defeated, you will be beheaded and drunk with wine. By then, it will be too late to regret. "
The soldiers in Shenyang City were not very afraid.
The city of Shenyang has high walls and thick walls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The barbarians have attacked Shenyang several times, but all failed.
Now, there are 70,000 to 80,000 troops gathered in Shenyang City, and there are plenty of supplies to defend the city. It is nothing more than a dream for the barbarians to capture Shenyang City. This time is no exception, and they will definitely fail.
Zhang Shijie, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, stood on the gate tower of the East City Gate.
At this time, the spring was cold, and the morning breeze carried a hint of coolness. The swords and guns standing under the city shone with a cold light.
The overlapping flags of various colors can't be seen at a glance, especially the bright yellow flag that is vaguely visible in the center, which is particularly dazzling. It is the royal flag of Hong Tai, the lord of the barbarians.
Facing the shouts below, Zhang Shijie shouted loudly: "Listen to the barbarians below the city. If you have the ability, attack the city. If you don't have the ability, go home and take care of your children. Don't brag about it below. If you have the ability, climb up and let us know." Let me see what you can do, General."
This is the ancient calling formation, scolding formation, and fighting generals, and finally the two armies fight.
Wang Ziteng strictly ordered the Shenyang defenders to stick to the city and not to go out to fight in the field. Zhang Shijie did not dare to disobey.
The two sides yelled and cursed for a while, and the war drums under the city began to sound "Winter, winter, winter" again. This was the drumbeat of the attack. Hong Tai from the rear was already impatient.
Zhang Shijie heard the sound of the drums and shouted loudly: "The fire oil and gold juice are boiling, and the stones and rolling logs are ready to be used. Damn it, you bastards dare to come to the city, and you will die for me."
After hearing the order, the soldiers guarding the city got busy.
Some went to carry stones and rolled logs, and some went to burn gold juice. The civilians under the city wall also quickly moved and helped move various materials to the top of the city.
Although golden juice has a nice name, it is actually a mixture of various kinds of feces. You don’t have to think about the taste to know the taste.
After this thing is boiled, the smell becomes even more pungent. If it is poured on human skin, the consequences are self-evident.
When Alha heard the drumbeat of the attack, he did not dare to neglect and shouted loudly: "Young men, it's time to show our strength. Let these weaklings from the Southern Dynasties see what a real warrior is.
The first one to climb the city wall will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Guys, come on. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Alha led his five thousand men and rushed towards the city wall with murderous intent.
All of a sudden, clouds and ladders were flying everywhere, arrows were raining down, artillery was roaring, gunpowder smoke was filling the air, the sound of killing was loud, and the battle was extremely fierce.
One party desperately wanted to climb the city wall, holding up a shield and a sword, climbing up the ladder quickly. There were archers behind them, shooting arrows at the top of the city to cover the warriors who were attacking the city.
The other side clung to the city wall, rolling logs and thunder stones, and kept smashing them down. The archers also fired arrows at the bottom, and poured hot oil and gold juice on their pockets to prevent the enemy from crossing the thunder pool. step.
The barbarian soldiers who were attacking the city were hit one after another, screaming and falling down the city. Some of them suffered broken bones and tendons, screaming and dying. Some fell down the city and died immediately.
Some old-fashioned artillery pieces on the top of the city were also constantly spraying tongues of flame, beating down the city walls.
The barbarian soldiers screamed again and again.
The battle suddenly became incandescent.
Hong Tai looked at the tragic battlefield, unmoved at all, and once again ordered five thousand troops to join the siege.
The siege lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to evening. It was not until the sky turned dark and it was almost dark that the troops were called back.
The next day, Hong Tai once again sent troops to launch a strong attack on Shenyang.
The high-intensity fighting lasted for several days, causing heavy casualties on both sides, leaving everyone mentally exhausted.
Zhang Shiyuan sent battle reports to Wang Ziteng in Liaoyang every day.
With the precedent of repelling the barbarians last time, Wang Ziteng was not too worried.
Seeing that after several consecutive days of strong attacks, the barbarians gained nothing, Wang Ziteng was completely relieved. He did not believe that Hong Tai could break through Shenyang this time.
Wang Ziteng's dream of becoming a marquis has never been extinguished.
In the past, when I controlled the capital camp, I had no chance of fighting. Now I finally did, and I encountered a tough fight again.
Unfortunately, I don't have the ability like Jia Cong, so I can only do nothing.
In the last battle, Jia Cong also led people out to sneak attack the enemy, and each time he came back with a great victory. He had a very accurate grasp of the news. He should have an insider within the barbarian tribe.
This kid is in the capital now, and the informant is of no use to him anymore.
If he could get him to hand over the informant to him, could he do what he did?
I thought about it again and again, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was no worse than Jia Cong, but what I lacked was just a source of intelligence. I had been in charge of the army for more than ten years. Could it be that I was still no better than a young boy who had been in the army for three years?
Thinking of this, he wrote a letter and sent it to the capital at great speed.
······
Amin has been very frustrated these past few days, and his days are getting harder and harder day by day.
The next day, Hong Tai sent Amin's troops to attack the city. In the next few days, this happened every day, causing Amin's team to lose about 20%, which made him feel very distressed.
This is an honest conspiracy, and even Amin can't refuse it.
Otherwise, it would be disobedience and the consequences would be even more serious.
Once Hong Tai gets caught, he can directly take away his military power and ruin his many years of hard work.
No matter what, he must hold back, and when he finds an opportunity, kill him and let him be arrogant for a while longer.
Amin has already discussed with Zhang Hu and will notify Zhang Hu as soon as he finds an opportunity to kill Hong Tai.
Zhang Hu has also led two thousand troops and is quietly hiding nearby, waiting for news about him.
I hope that I can successfully kill Hongtai this time, replace him, ascend to the position of Great Khan, and become the leader of the barbarians from then on.
Judging from Hong Tai's appearance, he is about to conquer Shenyang this time, but I don't know where his confidence lies?
Shenyang City is really not that easy to attack. It is even more difficult to attack. It seems that this guy has a back-up plan that he doesn't know about.
If so, I would have to wait even longer.
When he takes Shenyang, he will replace it. By then, Shenyang will be his.
It also prevents him from sending troops to attack again. This is a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Hong Tai is fighting a war for himself. If he thinks about it this way, it is acceptable to lose some manpower. As long as Shenyang is captured by then, all losses will be worth it.
When the time comes, after he ascends to the position of Great Khan and digests the gains from this war, he can bring Liaodong under his control.
Lay a solid foundation for the next step in the Central Plains.
Thinking of this, my mood suddenly brightened.
However, thinking of Jia Cong who was far away in Shenjing City, he couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart.
It can be said that it is all thanks to Jia Cong that I can be where I am today and have a glimpse of the position of the Great Khan. The two of them united with each other, helped each other, each got what they needed, and complemented each other.
The two have worked very happily together in the past few years, and they both trust each other very much.
since
He has provided him with information, and he has helped him get rid of those obstacles and stumbling blocks. At the same time, he can also gain a lot of military merit. It is simply killing two birds with one stone. It can be said that he is the best partner.
Relying on Jia Cong's caravan, he obtained a large amount of supplies and secretly cultivated an army.
Give yourself an extra backup, and you no longer have to worry about anything.
Even if he loses all his men on the battlefield this time, with that man and horse here, he will have a chance to make a comeback.
Once Hong Tai is killed and he ascends to the position of Great Khan, where will his relationship with Jia Cong go?
When the time comes, as the leader of the barbarians, I will give priority to the interests of the barbarians.
After occupying Shenyang, the next step is to occupy Liaodong. The relationship with Da Chu is already in a state of war.
As a general of Da Chu, Jia Cong could not remain indifferent. If he participated in the war, the two of them would face off sooner or later. This was a war between two countries and had nothing to do with personal relations.
To be honest, he didn't want to stalemate his relationship with Jia Cong, let alone confront him.
Even though so many years have passed, the scene of being bombarded by thunderbolts still seems to be vivid in my mind.
The power of Zhentian Lei is too great. Once he faces Jia Cong, he has no chance of winning.
It's just that the two belong to different camps, and sooner or later they will face each other one day.
If you want to develop, you must go south or west. These two directions are the spheres of influence of Dachu and Mongolia Khalkha.
These two forces are inextricably linked to Jia Cong.
No matter which side he faces, he will eventually be on the opposite side of Jia Cong, and a battle between the two is inevitable.
Unless you are willing to accept the status quo and be trapped in Liaodong.
But how could I be willing to do this?
It would be best if the people Hong Tai sent to the capital could deal with Jia Cong, so he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shook my head with a wry smile.
Based on his understanding of Jia Cong, the people sent by Hong Tai could not do anything to him.
Forget it, don’t think about this anymore, let’s focus on the present first, and let’s talk about the future later.
Looking up at the direction of the battlefield, I saw that the siege battle there had been going on for several days without stopping. It lasted for a whole day. The battlefield was extremely brutal and both sides suffered heavy losses.
As the barbarians attack the city, the losses will be even greater.
It is really difficult to capture the fortified city of Shenyang like this.
Amin had some doubts in his heart. Isn't this guy Hong Tai deliberately consuming everyone's strength?
"Master Beile, the big man has given another order, ordering our troops to attack the city immediately."
While Amin was thinking about it, his cronies ran over and brought Hong Tai's order.
Amin cursed in his heart, Hong Tai, this bastard, was determined to consume his own strength, and it seemed that he also wanted to attack him.
At this time, you can't give him any excuse, otherwise you will be out of the game early.
"Inform our brothers to attack the city."
This battle is a game between two people. Who will win depends on each person's methods.
······
Jia Cong returned home and decided to make some preparations in advance considering that there might be a severe drought this year.
And the business planned for this year should also be prepared for listing.
Since he doesn't plan to go to the battlefield in the future, he should stay in the capital and run his Ningguo Mansion well.
Make money to support your family and spread your business.
Accompany yourself with fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women for a lifetime, and live a carefree life.
During lunch, when everyone was present, Jia Cong announced his decision.
"Today, the imperial court received the eight hundred miles from Liaodong.
In a hurry, the barbarians began to attack Shenyang again. "
When the girls heard this, they all turned their heads and looked over, their eyes full of worry.
Xiren said worriedly: "Master, you have just been back for a year, are you leaving home again?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, a war is a war, but if nothing happens to me, I will always be at home with you.
The walls of Shenyang City are high and thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and difficult to break through. The imperial court has not sent reinforcements. Even if reinforcements are sent, they will not let me go. If nothing else happens, it will be difficult for me to go to the battlefield again. You don't want to Too worried. "
Youshi covered her chest and said with a scared look on her face: "Thank God, it would be best if we don't have to fight. It would be great to live a good life at home. Our Ningguo Mansion is very thin, and you are the only male. You are already old, too." It's time to bloom.
While my sister-in-law is still young, I can help you take care of your children. "
Ping'er said: "Grandma, Miss Lin hasn't come to you yet. Isn't it against the rules to have a child now? It would be bad if Miss Lin is unhappy."
Yuanyang said: "Ping'er's concern is right. Although we also want a child, the wife of the house has not married yet. It would be fine if we give birth to a girl. If we give birth to a boy, but he is not the eldest son, then he will be there in the future. There's a lawsuit."
Youshi said: "I have also considered these things. If Miss Lin passes the exam, she will have to wait for another two years. Brother Cong is a military general after all. Besides, there is a war outside now. There is no guarantee that Brother Cong will go to the battlefield again someday."
The battlefield is fierce and dangerous, and no one can guarantee that he will not be injured in his life. Besides, once you go to the battlefield, it is not up to you to decide when you can come back. If the court does not let you come back, you have to stay outside all the time. .
Therefore, leaving an heir in advance is nothing. With a child by your side, we can all feel more at ease. Brother Cong, what do you mean? "
