If you can't fight siege warfare, try not to fight siege warfare.

No one wants to fight this kind of battle, which costs great casualties, and Kong Youde is certainly no exception.

Listening to Qi Jiguang's tone just now, I thought that Qi Jiguang led his troops out of the city to face the battle.

Kong Youde does not have a red-coat cannon now.

But more than a hundred Tiger Squat Cannons are still there, plus other firearms, it feels like it is enough to hit the Ming army hard.

But left and right, there was no movement in the city, and even the Ming troops who were standing at the head of the city disappeared at this time.

Until this time, he finally knew that Qi Jiguang was teasing him, and Kong Youde was furious:

"Come, prepare for the siege."

"Lord Wang, we will immediately send someone to transfer the red-clothed cannon, as long as we open the city gate, we can capture Liaoyang, the Ming army obviously wants to stimulate us to attack the city."

Seeing that Kong Youde began to be impulsive again, Hong Chengchou couldn't help it, and began to persuade Kong Youde again.

Kong Youde didn't know this truth, but he volunteered to come to capture Liaoyang, if he didn't attack the city, he would be stationed directly outside Liaoyang, when would he be able to break through Liaoyang.

If the siege is not fought, Dorgon will definitely send men to urge the battle, and at that time, let him be obedient to the king.

Kong Youde ignored Hong Chengchou, he decided to attack the city first, and if he couldn't attack it, he would retreat, and then he would have an explanation. ”

He reached out and drew his waist knife:

"Infantry siege, fire guns, fire spears and bows and arrows to cover, charge!"

"Bang Bang Whoosh ......"

"Rush, kill, kill......"

Kong Youde gave an order, and 5,000 infantry lifted the ladder and rushed to the city wall, and the two firearms battalions began to fire firearms to cover the city.

Hong Chengchou shook his head, the opponent also has firearms, if there is a red-clothed cannon cover, this is okay, but there is no artillery cover, this is not much different from sending him to death.

What Hong Chengchou didn't expect happened, the besieging rebels were not attacked at all, and many people had already climbed the city wall quickly, only one step away from the city.

"Lord Wang, the situation is not right, where have the Ming troops defending the city gone."

Seeing that his subordinates were about to ascend to the top of the city, Kong Youde laughed:

"It doesn't matter where they go, as long as this king takes Liaoyang."

"Bang Bang ......"

Before Kong Youde's laughter fell, suddenly countless Ming troops suddenly appeared at the head of the city, and they threw large round balls with sparks at the thieves and rebels besieging the city.

The flowering bomb exploded on the ladder in an instant, and countless iron beads and stones splashed, and the rebels who were about to climb the city were hit one after another, falling from the ladder one after another.

Those thieves who were not injured by the flowering bullets were just about to continue climbing, when many black holes suddenly protruded from the top of the city.

"Bang Bang ......"

A burst of gunfire rang out, and all the thieves and rebels on the ladder were shot down, and the firearms covering their siege did not play any role at all because of the distance and height.

Kong Youde saw that it was not good, and immediately gave an order.

"Hurry, stop the siege."

The rebels, who were about to rush forward again, were all defeated like a tidal wave after hearing the order.

Since the surrender of the Eastern Captivity, almost all the Ming troops they encountered were vulnerable, and today was the first time they had encountered such a strong opponent, and the morale of the rebels dropped instantly.

When the number of people killed in the battle was reported to Kong Youde, Kong Youde was so angry that he almost vomited blood again, and he was so good at kung fu, and more than half of the five thousand siege soldiers were killed and wounded.

Kong Youde hurriedly gave the order to retreat to Wuli and set up camp, and then he wrote a letter to Geng Zhongming, asking Geng Zhongming to come to support him with a red-clothed cannon.

Liaoyang City

"Report to the governor, the rebel army was defeated by our army just now, and now it has retreated five miles and set up camp."

Qi Jiguang smiled and nodded:

"Got it, let's go down."

"Yes"

After the soldiers left, Li Cunxiao asked with some doubts:

"Dudu, they besiege but do not attack, are they afraid, the last general will lead his troops out to attack once."

Qi Jiguang shook his head:

"No, they should be waiting for the red-clothed cannon, only Geng Zhongming can provide them with the red-clothed cannon, but Geng Zhongming is still in Ningyuan."

Qi Jiguang spread out the map and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly made a decision, that is, to attack Kong Youde's camp at night, and then wait for Geng Zhongming to send a cannon to the door.

"Huang Ming."

"The end will be,"

"You led five thousand Qi family troops, quietly out of the city from the east gate after dark, still ambushed in Longfeng Mountain, if Kong Youde is defeated and escapes, no one can be spared, and immediately arrange for your soldiers to sleep."

"Yes"

Huang Ming took the order and left, and Qi Jiguang looked at the two commanders again.

"Long Yuan Chengyuan, you two are responsible for defending the city, Kong Youde should not dare to attack the city for the time being, two thousand soldiers are enough to defend the city, just in case, if you have to be careful, prepare more ammunition."

"Yes"

"Yang An, arrange for the artillery to rest immediately, and before the third watch at night, arrange thirty red-coated cannons and two hundred tiger squat cannons, all within the effective firing range of the rebel camp."

"Yes"

"Qi Tong, you lead a firearms battalion, pay attention to protecting the artillery, once discovered by the other party, if you don't have the ability to keep the artillery, you will immediately blow it all up."

"Yes"

"The rest of the Qi family's army, who has not received the order, will go to rest immediately, and the third watch will follow the governor of Pontus on time to attack the enemy camp."

"Yes"

All the soldiers who accepted the order went to rest, Li Cunxiao saw that it was wrong, there was no matter of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and immediately said to Qin Hufist:

"Dudu, why don't we have a mission for the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry?"

Qi Jiguang laughed:

"General Li, you can't be lazy if you want to, the Xuanjia Army is the main force of my Ming army's surprise attack, concentrate all the Xuanjia iron horsemen, and wrap cotton on the horse's hooves.

After the artillery bombardment, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry gave Pontus an all-out assault on the enemy camp, striving to completely annihilate the 30,000 rebels on the opposite side and not accept prisoners. ”

"Yes"

After Li Cunxiao accepted the order, he immediately went to arrange for the Xuanjia Iron Rider to wrap cotton on the hooves of the war horse, and Qi Jiguang thought about whether there was any omission, so he lay down on the bed and began to rest.

The night was getting deeper, and there was silence outside the city, only the sound of the cold wind blowing on the branches, and the soldiers in the city were busy eating, and only when they were full of food and drink could they have the spirit to kill the enemy.

The artillerymen began to eat as soon as they watched, and after the meal, they quietly moved the artillery out of Liaoyang, and silently set up thirty red-coated cannons two miles behind the traitor barracks.

Two hundred tiger squatting cannons were also quietly erected in the bushes not far from the camp of the thief army, just waiting for the arrival of the third watch.

The weather in Liaodong was already very cold, and it was even colder during the Xiaoice period.

Kong Youde believed that the Ming army did not dare to go out to fight in the daytime, and in such a cold day at night, it should not go out of the city to attack.

Later, under the reminder of Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde ordered to mount the tiger squat cannon at the camp gate to prevent the night attack of the Ming army.

But on such a cold day, the night was safe, and there was no movement at all, and the defenders gradually relaxed their vigilance, and the artillerymen went into the tents to keep warm.

Only some of the thieves were left on duty outside, but they were all confused, and they felt that they couldn't open their eyes, so they simply snuggled up to the military tent with the Vulcan gun and closed their eyes.

For so many years, the Ming army did not pose a threat to them at all, and they fled almost immediately, so that these rebels had long relaxed their vigilance.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a violent cannon sound sounded outside the camp gate, and the camp gate was instantly shattered by shells, and almost all the tiger squat guns set up there were destroyed, and the thieves on duty suffered heavy casualties and fled with their heads in their hands.

Then there were countless shells on both sides of the barracks that bombarded the barracks, and these shells were mainly flowering shells, and many thieves were killed by shells while they were still in their dreams.
