Laizhou Mansion, Jiaozhou City.

Wang Er Mazi stood at the head of the city, looking at the Qing soldiers who were surging under the black pressure, and his legs were weak.

Mom, seeing that the number of Qing soldiers is really as high as hundreds of thousands, it seems that the information of the scouts is true.

Although he was very panicked now, he couldn't show it.

Otherwise, if the soldiers saw it, wouldn't they be even more panicked?

The main general is the soul of an army.

In any case, Wang Er Mazi can't mess around!

He turned his head to glance at Gan Hui and Li Shishi on the side, and saw that the two of them did not have the slightest flustered look, so he was a little settled in his heart.

That's it, and these two generals are on the side, what is he afraid of.

Even if they really can't win, they can still float to the sea and retreat to Dengzhou.

Thinking about this, Wang Er Mazi's heart was a little fixed.

"Pass my order, and the whole army will be ready for battle."

Wang Er Mazi gave an order, and the head of the city immediately became busy.

The burning of gold juice, the carrying of rolling wood and stones, even the militia actively participated in it, and all the staff moved.

The Qing army's advance was not fast, and there was still at least an hour left for the Ming army to prepare.

They need to be prepared to the best of their ability, and there must be no omissions.

Gan Hui personally inspected the position of the artillery at the head of the city, and in his opinion, these artillery pieces were their only reliance on holding Jiaozhou.

"This muzzle is too low, adjust it a little higher."

"This muzzle is too high, are you going to shoot birds?"

As a general who started from an ordinary soldier, Gan Hui knows the essentials of using artillery very well.

He worked tirelessly to personally guide the soldiers, striving to maximize the power of artillery.

Li Shishi inspected the situation in the fire camp.

They didn't bring any artillery with them, but they brought some flintlock guns.

It's just that after the last war, there is not much ammunition left, and the only remaining fixed gunpowder does not know if it can support this war.

It can only be said that one step at a time is one step at a time.

...

...

Ji Xiha looked at the Ming army flag fluttering at the head of Jiaozhou City, and a weird evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lao Tzu is back again, didn't you expect it?

At the beginning of the Jiaozhou fiasco, Ji Xiha was very frightened, for fear that the emperor would order the Eight Banners to arrest him and bring him to Beijing for questioning.

The emperor wanted to take off his head, and he had no possibility of resisting.

But the emperor was so powerful that instead of taking off his head, he ordered him to lead his troops to attack Denglai again.

If Ji Xiha can't take Jiaozhou this time, it will really be a little too much.

The terrain of Jiaozhou City is familiar to Jixiha.

Three sides face the land, and one side faces the sea.

What the Qing army could attack was the land gate on three sides, and it was impossible to hit the water gate. Only after taking Jiaozhou City will it be possible to open the water gate.

That is to say, if the Ming army sees that the situation is not good, it can take the initiative to withdraw.

The Qing army could not do anything about this.

But Zishiha didn't care.

The emperor's decree to him was to recover Denglai within a month, and it was not mentioned whether the Ming army could be completely annihilated.

That is to say, even if Ji Xiha did not completely annihilate the Ming army, as long as Denglai was recovered, he could write a good report to the imperial court.

Take 10,000 steps back, the number of Ming troops killed is not enough, and you can use the common people of Denglai to make up.

Anyway, no one can see it, so why not borrow the heads of the common people?

These people are like pigs and dogs in the eyes of Jishiha, and it doesn't matter if they are all killed.

He did not rush to attack, but ordered more than 100,000 troops to surround Jiaozhou City.

Jiaozhou City is not a big city like Jinan, and hundreds of thousands of troops are enough to surround it with three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Pass my general order, shoot arrows and throw books into the city first."

This time, he ordered people to write hundreds of letters of persuasion to surrender, and ordered them to be tied to arrows and shot into them.

The content of the letter of persuasion is very simple, that is, let the defenders take the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.

If the defenders refuse, as long as the Qing army begins to attack the city, it will definitely slaughter the Jiaozhou city cleanly, and the chickens and dogs will not be left.

This is also the style of the Qing army all along.

Yangzhou 10th, Jiading three massacres, Jiangyin tragedy.

All those who resist to the end will be retaliated by the Qing army after the destruction of the city.

Although Ji Xiha knew that the possibility of the Ming army surrendering and sacrificing the city was not high, he still planned to give it a try.

Anyway, try it and there is no loss.

This time, the Qing army besieged the city with a lot of troops, and perhaps the Ming army was shaken.

...

...

"General Wang, it's just an arrow shot in by the Qing army."

The soldiers raised an arrow above their heads and respectfully presented it to Wang Er Mazi.

Wang Er Mazi took it and took down the note tied to the arrow.

"General Gan, you come and read."

Wang Er Mazi and Li Shishi both belong to the kind of people who don't know big characters, and above the city, Gan Hui has read books and knows how to read.

Gan Hui took the note and unfolded it, only looked at it for a moment before laughing and said, "This is a letter of persuasion written by the Tartars. ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Tartar said that if we surrender now and open the gates, he can spare our lives. If you resist stubbornly, you will kill the city after the city is broken. ”

Wang Er Mazi said angrily when he heard this: "Hmph, do you think I was scared?" If I had been afraid of them, I wouldn't have revolted in the first place. ”

Li Shishi also agreed: "This is the usual path of the Tartars. In fact, most of the time it is to scare yourself. If you want me to say that this Jishiha is really a shameless dog, has he forgotten how he was beaten by us and ran away? ”

Gan Hui also said: "Don't pay attention to him, just let him let the horse come." ”

Wang Er Mazi only felt very uplifted, and said with a smile: "That's it, the Daming children didn't coax it, just do it!" ”

"I also asked General Gan to write a handwritten letter to cut off their thoughts."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Gan Hui nodded.

Wang Er Mazi ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Gan Hui wrote a simple sentence in the city tower.

Wang Er Mazi asked him to read it, Gan Hui cleared his throat and said, "Wait for the dog thief to wash his neck and wait for death." ”

"Haha, lift your breath, it's too lifting."

Wang Er Mazi smiled from ear to ear: "General Gan, there is really you." ”

"The Tartars want to use this kind of indiscriminate means to interfere with the morale of our army, and I am treating them in the same way as others."

Through this period of getting along, Gan Hui really appreciates Wang Er Mazi.

Although this person is a bit vulgar and has not read a few military books, he has a patriotic enthusiasm.

What Daming lacks now is not the kind of generals who talk on paper, but practical generals like Wang Er Mazi and Yu Qi.

Although the current situation has improved a lot, Gan Hui still cherishes righteous people like Yu Qi and Wang Er Mazi.

If the north can have a few more Yu Qi, I'm afraid the pressure on the court in the south will not be so great.

"Come on, shoot me back. Lao Tzu wants to see if this Ji Xiha's mouth will be crooked in anger after seeing this letter! ”

Wang Er Mazi smiled proudly.
