Ming Ting

Chapter 396: Hard to defend the city

Views:

At the head of the city of Youtun, the fighting became more intense.

Fire, rocks, arrows, blood, and corpses were everywhere on the city.

Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Cao Bianjiao and others had already personally entered the battle. The long swords were full of blood, and the eyes that had already been killed were red, and they had forgotten everything.

Zhou Zheng stood on the arrow pavilion, staring at the head of the city, and then at the Jianlu camp in the distance.

Standing behind Zhou Zheng, Shang Guanqing looked more solemn than ever.

Youtun is a small city. If you build it to attack the city at any cost, you won’t be able to defend it for long.

Azige, Yue Tuo stood behind the army, staring at this small city coldly.

Azige's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he said, "When I take this city, I want everyone to bury my son!"

Yue Tuo looked cold, staring at the chaotic crowd on the city wall, but worried about some things in his heart. For example, why didn't the artillery appear above the capital? Why didn’t the gunpowder that killed Hauge appear

He did not speak, staring quietly.

At the back, in the big tent, facing Huang Taiji, who was sitting in chess with Fan Wenchen, stood up and looked at Li Wentao, who was vaguely in front of him and covered with arrows, with a sad expression and a long silence.

Fan Wenchen's face was the same. For a moment, he looked at Huang Taiji and said: "Professional sweat, Lord Li died well. There is no need to be too sorrowful. Please give me some comfort."

Huang Taiji sighed lightly, and said: "After returning to Beijing, it must be so."

Fan Wenchen raised his head and looked outside the big tent, thinking, and said: "Professional sweat, attacking the city is the second, and attacking the heart is the best."

Huang Taiji also raised his head and looked to the south, as if he could hear the hissing cry of killing. For a long time, he said: "What is happening to the Ming army south of the Daling River?"

Jierhalang was not far away from him, and said: "No, Jinzhou has not come out, and the people on the sea have been staring."

Huang Taiji's eyes were cold, and he said: "Li Aiqing can't die in vain, he must be paid for by blood! Youtun is extremely important to them, and they will definitely send someone to rescue them. Jirhalang, you personally lead an army of 30,000 to kill all the way. Along the way, I want them to save Youtun!"

"It's a sweat!" Ji'erhalang said solemnly.

Above Youtun, the fighting became more and more fierce, and the corpses were like mountains and blood was flowing.

Zu Dashou and Zhou Zheng had a conflict and were arguing in Arrow Pavilion.

Zu Dashou wiped the blood off his face and said angrily: "Can't you see it? The Jianlu people are coming up soon, not as good as anyone!"

Zhou Zheng was indifferent and said, "There are ten thousand people on the tower, so there is no problem defending the city."

Zu Dashou's face was full of blood, and he looked very hideous in anger. He gritted his teeth and said: "Can't you see? The Jianluites have already attacked, and you can beat them back by 5,000 more!"

Zhou Zheng stared at the city wall and said indifferently and resolutely: "I can't go anymore."

Seeing him like this, Zu Dashou's face twitched, and said, "Then shoot! As long as you shoot, you can suppress Jianluo's momentum and reduce the pressure on the city..."

"Not yet time." Zhou Zheng interrupted before he was finished.

Zu Dashou was anxious, and said, "Do you have to wait for the city to break before you make a move?"

Zu Dashou had only 5,000 people, and everyone else was in Zhou Zheng. Facing Zhou Zheng's refusal to send soldiers to the city, he was really anxious when he saw that he was in danger.

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "If you have time to waste here with me, you might as well think of a way to defend the city."

Zu Dashou saw that Zhou Zheng was determined not to send soldiers, so he roared and turned to the tower again.

On the small city wall, it was not enough to hold on. Facing the crazy offensive of Jian captives, it was almost a "field battle" on the head of the city. .

The danger is evident!

But Zhou Zheng did not send anyone, nor did he fire a gun.

On the small city wall, the Ming army went up and down, the captives came and went, stuck together, and smashed frantically. I don't know how many corpses fell under their feet.

Zu Dashou desperately resisted and tried every means to boost morale, but he was still able to withstand it, unable to repel the Ming army at all, and he had no advantage at all.

Soon, the two armies fought vigorously from morning to noon. The two sides were still fighting. Youtun was not breached, but the Ming army did not defend either, because there were half of the prisoners on the city!

Azige, Yue Tuo had been staring at the rear, his expression was a bit ugly after seeing that he hadn't won a small town for so long.

Azig drew out the knife and said coldly, "I will go personally!"

Yue Tuo said, "Retreat."

Azig was startled, and immediately said angrily: "With so many people dead, they are about to be captured, why withdraw troops!?"

Yue Tuo's expression was faint, and said: "There are 20,000 people in the city, but now there are only 10,000. If you continue to attack, you will not be able to attack."

Yue Tuo didn't talk about the cannon and gunpowder.

Aziger snorted coldly and said, "How can I know if I don't try, I will go now!"

After Azige finished speaking, he flew towards Youtun, taking the lead to attack the city.

With the addition of Azig, the Baylor, the morale of the building was greatly boosted, and the attack on the city became fiercer.

Zu Dashou was in immediate danger, and the Ming army defending the city was almost pushed down the city wall.

"Zhou Zhengyun!" Standing on the city wall, Zu Dashou screamed at Zhou Zheng in the arrow pavilion.

Zhou Zheng frowned and waved his hand below reluctantly.

The three thousand people Cao Bianjiao had prepared for a long time rushed to the city wall like a tide, roaring, and killing Jianluo.

At the same time, Shangguanqing appeared in front of the war drum, wearing white armor, holding a heavy sledgehammer with slender hands, and tapping it.

The drumbeat echoes, inspiring.

The relationship between Shangguanqing and Zhou Zheng was not known to the soldiers from Tianjin Wei. Seeing the'madam' all appear in person, the morale of the soldiers on the wall shook, roaring to the sky, and fighting with the prisoners again.

The fighting on the walls was extremely tragic, with flames everywhere, broken limbs and corpses everywhere.

Cao Bianjiao came to Zhou Zheng's side with a solemn expression, and said, "My lord, this is only the first day."

This is Zhou Zheng's confidant. He didn't hide anything. He said, "It should be able to survive today. If it can survive the next day, the Jianluites will not attack the city again."

The loss of attacking the city is greater than defending the city, and the number of soldiers to be built is scarce. If you convert 10,000 to 20,000 people in Youtun, it will be enough for their heartache and recovery for a long time, and the senior leaders of Jianlu will never want to see it.

Cao Bianjiao understood, and looked at the seven thousand people under the city again, his expression becoming more solemn.

It is too difficult to defend the small city with 20,000 people. It is only a matter of time before the construction of the city is broken at any cost.

Zu Dashou was already ignoring other things. He boosted morale back and forth on the city wall, urging the soldiers to do everything possible to defend the city.

After another full half hour of fighting, Yue Tuo saw that it was useless, and told Azige to withdraw his troops.

Azig led himself with a blue flag. Seeing those who did nothing and didn't want to lose him, he could only withdraw his troops bitterly.

The two of them had nothing to say, as they packed up the remnants, and turned to report to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji looked calm and smiled and said: "It's only 20,000 people, take a break, and continue to attack the city in the afternoon. This kind of small city can't trouble us. That Zhou Zhengyun, Ben Khan wants his head."

Azige, Yue Tuo heard his intention to increase troops and revenge, and said with a deep voice: "Thank you, Khan!" (End of this chapter)
