Jining Prefecture is subordinate to Yanzhou Prefecture, bordering the Huitong River in the south, Magut Lake in the west, and the Luqiao Town Inspection Division in the southeast.

It has three counties under its jurisdiction, which are divided into Jiaxiang, Juye and Yuncheng.

Jiaxiang County is located to the east of Jining Prefecture, while Juye and Yuncheng counties are located in the northwest direction of Jining Prefecture.

Jining Prefecture City is a typical square city, covered with bricks during the Hongwu period.

The length of the four city walls is about three miles, the wall is 12 meters high, there are 700 battlements, 21 forts, and 3,600 female walls.

There are four city gates in Jining Prefecture.

Among them, the name of the south gate is called Xuanfu, the name of the north gate is called Zonghan, the name of the east gate is called Suihua, and the name of the west gate is called Cuicheng. There is an urn city outside each of the four gates.

There is a moat dug outside the city, and a drawbridge is set up outside each of the four gates for passage.

The name of the South Gate Bridge is called Feihong, the name of the North Gate Bridge is Chaotian, the name of the East Gate Bridge is called Tongsi, and the name of the West Gate Bridge is called Tongjin.

In addition, there is a water gate on the south side of the east gate, which communicates with a small river flowing from the southeast.

It can be said that Jining Prefecture is a fortified city with complete defense and no less scale than Yanzhou's capital city.

It was Liu Liangzuo's idea to capture Shandong as a gift to the Qing court, and he also formulated the route of the march along the canal north. Now that he has encountered hard stubble, Liu Zeqing will naturally not rush to speak out, but wait for Liu Liangzuo to stand up first.

Sure enough, seeing that Liu Zeqing was silent, Liu Liangzuo gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zeqing, or I will lead troops to fight the east gate and the north gate." You lead your troops to fight at the south gate and the west gate. What do you think? ”

Liu Zeqing smiled and said, "The matter has come to this point, what does the old brother say, let's do it." It's just that a certain reminds the old brother that he must fight quickly. ”

After all, Liu Zeqing once served as a general soldier in Shandong, and his understanding of Jining Prefecture is still very good.

Jining Prefecture is close to the canal and is prosperous in commerce and densely populated. There are more than 100,000 people in the city, and there are tens of thousands of young people who can be mobilized. Although Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo have an absolute advantage in their forces, if they can't break the city quickly and give the Shence army in the city a chance to breathe and let them mobilize their youth to help defend the city, they will be very passive.

Liu Liangzuo bowed slightly, held the horsewhip and nodded at the head of the city: "Brother Zeqing is right, we must overcome this city quickly." ”

After that, he reined in his horse and marched to a small earthen hill to command the battle, and Liu Zeqing also urged the cavalry to follow when he saw this.

The view from the small earthen hill is very good, and you can clearly see the battlefield situation.

Liu Liangzuo squinted his eyes and stood quietly on horseback with a hunched body like a shrimp.

The golden drums sounded in unison, and the battle flags were unfurled. The soldiers under his command were divided into two parts, one moving in the direction of the east gate, Suihua Gate, and the other approaching the north gate, Zonghan Gate.

Liu Liangzuo's troops were slightly larger than Liu Zeqing's, so the number of people who attacked each city gate was about 15,000.

Liu Zeqing's army attacking the South Gate and the West Gate was only 10,000 people each.

Of course, this does not include the people they brought in.

These people were forcibly arrested by Er Liu and driven all the way from Fengyang Mansion. Their role is mainly reflected in the filling of trenches.

Jining Prefecture is a big city, and the moat outside the city is very wide and deep, if it is not filled, it is impossible for the soldiers to launch an offensive to the city.

Of course, besieging the city is also an option, but it is not suitable for Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's current situation.

Later, there will be changes, and the Ming army that dragged down to the north is likely to react and rush to Jining Prefecture for reinforcements.

Quick battle, Er Liu only has this one choice.

On the way from Fengyang Mansion to Jining Prefecture, two percent of the captured strong men had died. The rest wept when they learned that they had to fill in the trenches. Some even fell to their knees and pleaded loudly.

But the soldiers under Liu Liangzuo's command did not have the slightest sympathy.

Damn, if these strong men don't fill in the trenches, who will fill them?

The soldiers drew their swords and unsheathed them, threatening them to kill them immediately for disobeying military law if they did not fill in the trenches.

Now the strong men didn't dare to cry anymore, and stared at the soldiers timidly with their necks shrunk one by one.

Impatient, the soldiers began to hit the strong men on the back with the back of their knives, forcing them to carry the sandbags to the chicken cart.

The capture of Shandong was a temporary decision of Erliu, because he did not let people build siege equipment such as rushing cars and battering rams.

As for the Pointed Wooden Donkey, which can protect your personnel from arrows, there are naturally no trenching carts.

The strong men could only push the chicken cart with no shelter effect, and rushed towards the moat.

Behind them stood a row of vicious soldiers armed with single knives, and the slightest slow movement was cut to the ground by the soldiers.

The high-pressure strategy is still effective, and most of the strong men choose to be docile and obedient.

Seeing the crowd moving towards the moat, a smile appeared on Liu Liangzuo's face.

Zhuang Ding is really a good thing, not only do you not have to spend money to raise, but you can also slaughter and cook meat and make soup when there is a shortage of food.

When attacking the city, the strong man is even more consumable, which can not only fill the trench, but also consume a large number of arrows of the defenders.

Liu Liangzuo will not feel distressed about how many of these strong men die, and it is a big deal to catch a batch next time.

As long as the losses of the soldiers under his command could be reduced, Liu Liangzuo's goal would be achieved.

In troubled times, having soldiers in hand is king. These soldiers are the capital of Liu Liangzuo's official promotion.

Take refuge as soon as possible.

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming took refuge early, and they have all been crowned kings.

Liu Liangzuo took refuge late, so that he could only offer a bigger greeting gift and show more hard work, so as to gain the favor of the Qing court.

Kill him, kill him with a river of blood, and kill a splendid wealth.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, which famous general's road is not paved with a dry bone. In order to win the favor of the Qing court, even if he asked Liu Liangzuo to slaughter every person in Jining Prefecture, he would not frown.

......

......

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

At the head of Dongcheng City, the head of the Xiaoguo Battalion of the Shence Army was sweating profusely.

Although he had expected Er Liu to launch an offensive against Jining Prefecture, he was still a little flustered and at a loss when all this really happened.

Shen Fu led a battalion of soldiers for no more than a month, and many things were still being explored. In this case, when a strong enemy comes to attack, the mood is a little broken.

Fortunately, the city defense equipment in Jining Prefecture is very sufficient, so you don't have to worry about running out.

Shen Fu ordered the soldiers of the Xiaoguo battalion to rush to the strong men near the moat to shoot in turn, and stifle the danger as soon as possible.

As long as the moat is not filled, it is impossible for Erliu to pose a substantial threat to Jining Prefecture.

Like a locust's feathered arrows shooting out, like a huge fishing net falling from the sky.

Where had the strong men who rushed in front seen such a posture, and they stood on the spot one by one.

Although the strength of the arrows shot by the Shence Army has been reduced a lot, the lethality of the unarmed strong men is still very great.

As soon as the rain of arrows fell, more than 100 strong men were shot to the ground. Some were not yet dead, rolling on the ground in pain, letting out bursts of heart-rending wails.
