Chapter 391: Stewed meat at the head of the city
Xiong Tingbi glanced back at Li Guangrong and said jokingly: "I have asked you to read a little more military books a long time ago, but you just don't listen." Look at what kind of ploy you've come up with now? ”
After hearing this, Li Guangrong's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look. Some hesitation said: "Please give me advice." ”
"The reason why they will take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold or sneak attack at night is mainly to boost morale and hit the enemy's morale. This was mainly due to the lack of defenders in the city. ”
"But are we short of people in the city right now? Is the armament bad? Why did we go out of the city and attack? Are there any benefits? Winning the battle is just killing a little bit of boar skin. We are fighting a wild boar skin, can we turn the tide of war by killing a few people? Not at all. ”
"What if you lose out of town? What about our morale? Why do we do this kind of thing that has few advantages and many disadvantages in losing? Just like a gambler gambling money, I bet ten taels of silver, and I could only win one tael; But if I lose, I will lose all ten taels of silver, why should I bet on this kind of bet? ”
"Tell your men to be on guard at night. If anyone makes trouble in the city, they will be killed immediately. As long as there is no chaos in our city, it is wishful thinking for the wild boar skin to break through Shenyang City, don't have this kind of dream in this life! ”
Li Guangrong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and finally reluctantly responded: "Yes, handsome." ”
Glancing at Li Guangrong, Xiong Tingbi walked down directly.
After taking two steps and turning the steps, Xiong Tingbi stretched out his hand to greet a henchman, and whispered: "Let people keep an eye on Li Guangrong." If he has anything unusual at night, feel free to let me know. ”
glanced at Xiong Tingbi in surprise, although his subordinates were a little unclear, but nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, handsome." ”
At this time, Xiong Tingbi didn't have to suspect Li Guangrong, but his behavior today was too abnormal.
Li Guangrong constantly encouraged Xiong Tingbi to go out of the city to fight, and he also came up with such a bad trick as a night attack. If it's not that Li Guangrong is stupid, then he's bad.
Although Xiong Tingbi and Li Guangrong have a good relationship, they have nothing to do in the face of major events. If Li Guangrong really wants to do something, the losses caused can be imagined.
Xiong Tingbi didn't want to do anything bad because of one person, which was not only related to his own life, but also related to Shenyang City and the strategy of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.
You have to be careful, you can't make a mistake.
After his subordinates agreed to retreat, Xiong Tingbi continued to walk.
He made up his mind in his heart, and he would sit in the city gate tower tonight to ensure that there were no problems at all, and that no news could be transmitted.
Li Guangrong was still standing on the city tower, looking at the back of Xiong Tingbi leaving, and shook his head helplessly.
With a sigh, Li Guangrong looked at the sky. He was a little hungry, so he had better go eat first, and after he had eaten, he would have to make a round before he could rest.
In fact, Li Guangrong already has some dissatisfaction with Xiong Tingbi.
In Li Guangrong's view, the Ming official army already has the strength to fight against the wild boar skin. And Xiong Tingbi seemed to be frightened, he was defending the city all day, and he didn't think about going out of the city to attack at all.
Even if the official army is unable to annihilate Nurhachi, it is still possible to inflict a heavy blow on them. However, Xiong Tingbi has already said that he can't go out of the city, and Li Guangrong can't violate military orders.
In a room beneath the castle tower.
Wei Chao was sitting on a chair, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand and slowly twisting them.
Next to the Wei Dynasty was a middle-aged man, none other than Zhao Wou-ki, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu of Liaodong.
Wei Chao and Zao Wou-Ki can be regarded as difficult brothers in Liaodong. For Jinyiwei, the situation in Liaodong is also the top priority.
"Nothing strange, right?" Wei Chao looked at Zhao Wuji and said slowly: "If there is anything strange, you have to tell our family as soon as possible." In this place in Liaodong, we are the people all the way. ”
Zhao Wuji glanced at Wei Chao, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "Don't worry." We know in our hearts that we will not disappoint our father-in-law. However, in this Shenyang City, there are no messy people for a long time. Our handsome man cares a lot about this aspect, and how many people have been arrested. ”
In fact, Zao Wou-Ki had a smile on his face and a relaxed tone, but he was very nervous in his heart.
Shenyang City has always been a key location in Jinyiwei's spy war.
Since the attack was frustrated, Nurhachi has sent countless infiltrations to Shenyang City, and his heart to do things in Shenyang City has never died.
Jin Yiwei didn't dare to be careless at all, for fear that something would go wrong. However, Zhao Wou-Ki would not tell Wei Chao about these things. Although the two of them seem to be very harmonious, and the Jinyi guard and the eunuch are also very compatible, there are some things that can't be said.
Glancing deeply at Zao Wou-Ki, Wei Chao nodded.
This night, Shenyang City was relatively calm, and nothing major happened.
Early the next morning, after dawn, Shenyang City also recovered from its slumber.
Xiong Tingbi walked out of the room, took a breath of cool air, and felt refreshed.
Glancing at the subordinates who came to report, Xiong Tingbi asked with a solemn face, "There is nothing abnormal on Li Guangrong's side?" ”
"Back to Dashuai, no. Yesterday he had left the city and gone to eat, and then he had made some rounds around the city and went back to sleep. The subordinate hurriedly said.
Xiong Tingbi nodded, his face relaxed a little, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiong Tingbi only had some worries about Li Guangrong, and he couldn't even talk about doubts. Nothing is happening now, and nature is the best; If there is really something, Xiong Tingbi will definitely not feel good in his heart.
After eating something briefly, Xiong Tingbi walked out. First Chinese Network
After walking out, Xiong Tingbi saw Li Guangrong head-on.
Li Guangrong had a calm face at this time, looking like everyone owed him a penny.
Seeing his appearance, Xiong Tingbi knew that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Guangrong and asked with a smile.
"Dashuai, those wild boar skins are really too deceitful!" Li Guangrong said with some helplessness and resentment: "They are cooking there with an open fire, and they don't even warn of us at all, they clearly look down on us." ”
After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi's face not only did not show an angry expression, but became more solemn.
At this time, Xiong Tingbi was already able to conclude that this time Nurhachi came here, clearly trying to lure him out of the city. From what Nurhachi did when he went to the city yesterday, it can be seen that the intention of deliberately leading himself out is too obvious.
Seeing Li Guangrong's angry appearance, Xiong Tingbi understood that Nurhachi's behavior still had an effect. But the more this happens, the more I can't get out of the city.
Glancing at Li Guangrong, Xiong Tingbi said, "Let's go, let's go to the city to have a look." ”
"Yes, Marshal." After Li Guangrong agreed, he hurriedly led the way in front excitedly.
The two soon came to the top of the city.
Looking down the city, you can clearly see what the people on the other side are doing.
Just like what Li Guangrong said, these people are cooking unscrupulously, and they clearly look down on the army in the city, and their swaggering posture seems to say: You just don't dare to come out and fight us.
After taking a look, Xiong Tingbi instructed Li Guangrong: "Pass the order, let those who cook stew meat this morning, bring the cauldron up, and bring the meat too." Let's stew meat on the top of the city. ”
After hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, Li Guangrong's jaw almost fell to the ground.
Just now, Li Guangrong thought that his family's marshal was going to go on an expedition, who would have thought that he would say such a sentence.
White is excited!
The stew in the city was apparently made for the wild boar skins. Aren't you eating? We also eat; Not only do we eat, but we eat better than you.
Xiong Tingbi actually meant this, if both sides were cooking in the city and didn't start fighting at all, Xiong Tingbi was confident that he would eat them to death.
More food than anyone, isn't it?
Let's see who can hold out longer.
Uncle, I will consume you to death.
Soon someone brought the cauldron up, and the meat was also brought up. The wood was on fire, and the water boiled in the iron pot quickly. After the seasoning is down, the large pieces of meat are boiled in the pot.
Soon, the scent spread over the city, and the wind drifted out.
Nurhachi stood on the top of the hill, smelling the aroma of stew, and the expression on his face was ugly.
Of course, he could see what the Ming army was doing in the city. Those guys are just cooking meat and eating it, and the smell is wafting over.
"Father Khan." Amin came to Nurhachi's side and said, "The Ming army is not fooled. ”
"Then eat, and after eating, we will attack the city." Nurha said with a calm face.
Xiong Tingbi, who was standing at the head of the city, held a big bowl, gnawed on a big bone, and said to Li Guangrong beside him: "Go find some people with a loud voice, go over there and shout to Lao Tzu, and the uncle will shout that there is meat in the city, and if there is a kind, you will come and eat." ”
Li Guangrong glanced at Xiong Tingbi and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, handsome." ”
Soon, the soldier with a loud voice was found.
A group of people stood in a row at the head of the city, and shouted to Nurhachi: "There is meat in the city, uncle, come in and eat!" ”
They shouted over and over again, and the more they shouted, the happier they became, and the laughter was heard, and the mockery was too obvious.
Nurhachi was also eating at this time, and listening to the shouts of the Ming army, Nurhachi's heart sank.
still underestimate this Xiong Tingbi, this blind bear is really doing everything, and it is not the same as the previous Ming civil officials.
"Father Khan." Seeing that his father Khan's face was not very good-looking, Amin shouted cautiously.
"It's okay." Nurhachi waved his hand and said, "Let our artillery be ready, and after eating, we will attack the city, and use artillery to fight a round first." ”
Whether it was the capture of Tieling or Kaiyuan, Nurhachi had captured a lot of artillery in previous battles. Nurhachi had the experience of serving in the Ming army, so he naturally knew firearms very well.
This time Nurhachi also brought his artillery, which was thirty-six. Some of these were captured in battles large and small, and some were copied by Ming craftsmen who were caught and enslaved.
Although the number of artillery is small, the power of the artillery is extraordinary during the siege, which is also where Nurhachi's confidence lies this time.
If Xiong Tingbi can't get out of the city, then use artillery to storm it.
