Seeing that he was still thinking about the problem seriously, General Mingshan turned over and looked at the map, only to see that there were many defensive strategies and offensive routes drawn on it, but there was a black route that he didn't know much about? He opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask the chief soldier, what does the black line here represent?" ”

The general soldier of Mingshanxi, who reacted, was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look at him and replied, "Oh, this is our army's grain and grass, and it is also a strategy to lure the enemy?" ”

He was amazed to hear the word lure! Then he asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Lord Commander-in-Chief wants to use our army's grain and grass to lure the Liukou?" That's too much to pay, isn't it? I saw that the general soldier of Mingshan raised his head and laughed a few times and said, "That's right! Surely this is your idea? ”

Unbelievably, General Ming Shanxi continued to ask, "Then Lord General Bing, what are you going to do?" ”

I saw that the general soldier of Mingshan West did not speak, but continued to pick up a model of small bales of grass and manipulated them with the soldiers on the map, and swapped the small bales of grass? Seeing that the general of Mingshan West next to him instantly understood the intention, he hurriedly praised, "Lord Commander, this move is really high!" ”

However, at this moment, the army of Emperor Dashun had already come to five hundred meters outside the city of Shanxi Town, and the heavy cavalry of the Shun army and the archers of the Shun army in the vanguard were also ready.

Emperor Dashun watched the sky gradually darken and the wind began to howl, and felt that if the cannon was fired now, the wind direction would blow on their side and it would definitely block the view of the soldiers, but if the cannon was not fired, the sky would soon rain and the battery would be useless, so Emperor Dashun asked the gunners to raise the muzzle of the cannon up by three millimeters, so that each muzzle was just above the square mouth of the fortress of the city, in order to make the cannonballs successfully hit the Ming army, Emperor Dashun ordered all the artillery equipped with flowering cannonballs to attack the city.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were eating when the artillery bombardment passed, were amazed! Some were killed on the spot, some were startled, but the soldiers reacted quickly, and they took up arms to prepare to defend against the enemy, and the trumpeter also blew the horn (woo, woo, woo~) The sound spread in all directions, which soon aroused the alarm of the people in the city.

The panicked Ming Yaotou Thousand Households and the Ming Lao Camp Thousand Households: Wei Chengyu, Ming Ning Wu Thousand Households: Zhou Weimin, Ming Octagonal Thousand Households: Zhao Zhishan, Ming Baode General: Xu Meinian, these generals hurriedly walked out of the camp and ordered the soldiers to transfer materials out of the city, and sent people to inform the Ming Shanxi General Soldiers to see his opinion.

The general soldiers of Mingshan West here were about to go out of the city to meet the Liukou, but they were stopped by the general of Mingshanxi and persuaded him, "Lord Commander, at the moment, the number of our army is not as good as that of Liukou, so you must not fight hard!" Otherwise, it's easy to lose! You can only win by strategy, and the last general thinks that only by retreating into Ningwu Shouyu Qianhu can there be a slight chance of winning? Having said that, the general army of Ming Shanxi still planned to hold out for a while, and he arranged a group of hundreds of musketeers in the back city to aim at the streets of the city gate, and once he found that an enemy was approaching, he would immediately shoot and kill him.

After the artillery bombardment of half a pillar of incense by the Liukou side, Emperor Dashun saw that there was basically nothing on the city tower and the Ming army fought back, so he guessed whether the Ming army had been blown up? He hurriedly ordered the artillerymen to stop the shelling and let the heavy cavalry of the Shun army charge towards the drawbridge, but who would have thought that as soon as the iron cavalry of the Shun army ran to this horse's hooves, they hooked the lead and pulled the buried mines (dong, dong, dong~) and blew up the rogue heavy cavalry on their backs, and many of the rogue iron cavalry were either killed by the explosion of people and horses, or fell in front of the fence and were stabbed to death by sharp men.

Looking at the heavy cavalry of the Shun army who had suffered a dumb loss in the front team, the rogue iron cavalry of the rear team quickly grabbed the reins and retreated, and the Great Shun Emperor was taken aback? He thought to himself; It's all under the city, and you can't attack the city directly! Good for you! Sure enough, you still have some ability? I'll see what else you can do?

Then Emperor Dashun asked the Shun army flag waver to use the flag language to command the Shun army heavy cavalry to rush to the east city wall, this team of Shun army heavy cavalry quickly set up a ladder to climb the city tower after dismounting, but unexpectedly found that there was no Ming army on the city tower at all? Even on the main gate city wall, there were only dozens of people killed, most of them were still eating steamed buns and were injured in the head of the Ming army, after learning the news, the Liukou soldiers judged that the main force of the Ming army had abandoned the city and fled, so they pursued the back city.

The general army of Mingshan, who had been waiting for the enemy for a long time, walked back and forth a few steps back and forth, and heard the footsteps of a large number of troops? Then he shouted, "Raise the gun, let go!" "In the Ming army gunners shot out of the moment the soldiers rushed out of the Liukou soldiers were strafed, led by the Shun army infantry and Shun army archers were shot and killed fifty people, the Shun army behind had to hide by the wall to prepare for the battle back, in the Dashun Huya Palm Brigade: Luo Wenbiao, under the leadership of the Shun army archers have reached out to pull out the arrows on their backs and clamp them on the Xuan, the Dashun Huya Palm Brigade immediately shouted "One, two, three!" ”

I saw that the Liukou archers quickly stood up and aimed at the Ming gunners in front of them, and let go of the arrows and shoot over, (whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh) interrupted the loading of a few Ming gunners, so that some nervous Ming soldiers did not pay attention when they pressed the fire with battle, and let the one-eyed gunners of the three soldiers explode!

As the Liukou soldiers interrupted the attack of the Ming army's gunners to give them an advantage, the Ming Shanxi Staff General had to pull the Ming Shanxi General Army to retreat in the direction of Ningwu Shouyu Qianhu, and the Liukou army still followed closely behind, in order to prevent the whole army from being surrounded, the Ming Shanxi Staff General let the Yongwei battalion discard the irrelevant baggage and run forward, and the discarded materials became the object of competition for the Liukou soldiers, and the Yongwei Battalion took the opportunity to change to a bow and arrow to shoot for a while.

After getting rid of the rogue soldiers, the general soldiers of the western Ming Dynasty ran all the way to the city of Ningwu Shouyu Qianhu, and the Ming soldiers who had already entered the city saw the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion and hurriedly opened the city gate to let them in.

At noon, several Qianhu, mainly in Mingning Wu Qianhu, met with the general soldiers of Mingshan West in the Qianhu Office to discuss how to deal with the enemy. The general army of Mingshanxi, who had planned for a long time, was attacked by the rogues, and there was no plan! Therefore, he did not put forward any opinions, only Ming Laoying Qianhu and Ming Baode Counselor proposed: "We think that Ningwu guards the high walls of the Qianhu City and can set up heavy artillery to cover the plains outside the city remotely, and once there are rogues attacking, we can send cavalry to attack the enemy army and disrupt their camp, and we also have some stocks of ammunition." "In fact, this method is at most a dead defense, if it is really besieged, it will not last long, and all the generals present know this, but there is no way!

The Shun artillery battalions that followed also accelerated their march to the city, but because this area is a plain area and not very far from the city, basically three hundred meters to five hundred meters of heavy artillery can cover this place, so the Great Shun Emperor did not dare to set the main force here, but arranged a thousand Shun infantry sword players here, and the Shun artillery battalions were placed on the left and right sides, and the muzzles of the guns were placed diagonally on the city tower.

At this moment, Emperor Dashun and his generals watched quietly under a pine tree on the left, and after the Shun artillerymen set up their artillery, they began to load and open fire, and a heavy solid cannonball (dong, dong, dong) exploded on the city wall.

Seeing this, the Ming soldiers who defended the city immediately rushed to report the situation in the Qianhu Office, which immediately stunned the generals, only the general soldiers of Mingshan West calmly turned around and walked towards the direction of the city tower with the soldiers, and the sound of artillery fire could be heard everywhere on the streets along the way, and many soldiers of the Qianhu Institute were frightened.

Only the general soldiers of Mingshan were unmoved, and the general of Mingshan and Wu Qianhu and others who followed on the side were all stunned by his expression, and they couldn't help but ask, "Lord General Soldier, if you are so unhurried, do you already have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" But the general soldier of Ming Shanxi shook his head and smiled: "How can a few artillery pieces scare me Ming warriors?" ”

These words made the generals feel ashamed to hear it, and after walking up the steps of the city tower, they saw the Ming soldiers defending the city unhurriedly igniting and firing the cannons, so that the Weiyuan cannon that originally occupied the advantage became no advantage, and the general soldiers of the Ming Shanxi took one of the gunners with torches and said loudly, "Brothers, you are guarding the land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the people who are protecting this side, I believe that many soldiers are locals, and this wife and children are near the thousand households, if the thousand households are lost, They will more or less become the mouths of the rogues and be slaughtered by them at will, so it is better to take up arms and fight them, and they will be remembered for eternity after death. ”

After hearing this, the soldiers defending the city seemed to be more confident, and they asked in unison, "Okay, then may I ask Lord Zhou, what do you say you should do?" "At present, the general army of Ming Shanxi thinks that the Liukou has not launched an infantry and cavalry attack at present, but just let the artillerymen open fire, which is mostly to test the heart of our army, he thinks that as long as he holds on to the city, no matter how the Liukou bombard, it is useless, even if the city wall is really blown down by the Liukou artillery fire, it is necessary to make up for that, so that the Liukou artillerymen have nothing to do and retreat.

This method was really effective, after the general army of Ming Shanxi improved the layout of the city defense, and after the firecrackers and archers were reasonably transferred out to squat to guard the battlements, they aimed the muzzles of the Weiyuan cannon and the bronze Franky meteor cannon at the front of the rogue gunners on the flank, so that after several rounds of bombardment, the Shun army did not make any progress at all, and the cannonballs were shot out a lot, which made the Great Shun Emperor special.

Dashun Linqu Nan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, stepped forward and proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't our troops wait until it gets dark to sneak attack the Ming camp, what do you think?" "Emperor Dashun had no choice but to order a night attack on Ning Wu to guard the Thousand Households....

When a team of Shun infantry sword players took advantage of the evening and the Ming army sentry was lax, they hooked the city wall with flying claws, and quietly climbed up to cover the mouth of the patrolling Ming infantry and hacked dozens of people.

But soon by the Ming Shanxi general soldiers in the inspection of the military camp found out, he waved his hand to let the Ming army begin to fight back the city wall of the rogue Kou, the Ming soldiers heard the movement after quickly ran into the camp tent to take out the three-eyed gun, five thunder god guns, thunder guns, ten guns and other multi-tube guns to the city tower of the rogue guns, after a few rounds of fire guns after the night attack of the Shun army all killed, the city has not had time to land the city of Da Shun Linqu man, hurriedly embarrassed to lead the soldiers to retreat back to the camp.

Knowing that the sneak attack plan failed, Emperor Dashun was even more helpless now? He wandered left and right and began to wonder if the plan for this crusade was correct? Even some soldiers of the Shun army had the idea of withdrawing their troops and going back, so they persuaded them, "Your Majesty, our army has gained a lot of supplies and occupied a lot of cities after a long battle, shouldn't we think about it...?" Before he finished speaking, after Emperor Dashun heard this, he thought for a while and planned to withdraw at dawn.
