Chapter 310: The North Wind Blows 5
Lao Jing's scene also shocked the soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of the city. Meng Sanjie saw that the morale of the Yuan army around him had plummeted, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Today, this is less than the luck of a thief!" If he dares to come closer, he will definitely blow him up! ”
Liang Si understood, hurriedly answered, and said loudly: "The enemy army is disturbing, but they dare not attack the city, which shows that our weapons are sharp." After retreating from the enemy today, the subordinate will order the back to drink and meat to reward the soldiers of our army! ”
Meng Sanjie's face turned happy: "There is Lord Lao Liang!" Seeing that the Jing'an army was slowly retreating, the Yuan soldiers turned at ease in their hearts, and then heard that they could have a full stomach with wine and meat, and gradually smiled. Even if the enemy army attacks the city tomorrow, at least today you can relax and eat seas.
"Today, we will temporarily besiege the city and cut off the news inside and outside the enemy. The herald ordered that the baggage battalion prepare a long ladder today to build a shrimp toad car, a city car, and a nest car. Yu Zhilong saw that Liang Si and Meng Sanjie were resolute in battle, and knew that they could not be persuaded to obey, so they had to order the siege of the city first and prepare siege equipment.
Rizhao City is stronger than Linqu, and rashly attacking the city will only cause a lot of casualties. So far, the military horses of the surrounding Yuan army cities have not come to help, and Rizhao is now like a lonely city.
Yu Zhilong didn't mind attacking for a few more days. Today, the army is in front, one is to observe the enemy's reality and reality, and the other is to show military might. Since the other party is stubbornly refusing, it is not too late to fight after the siege equipment of the army is complete.
The prosperity and wealth of Rizhao City far exceed that of Linqu, Yishui and other places, thousands of meters on both sides of the official road outside the city, along the terrain there are many residential courtyards, shops, foot shops, etc. At this time, most of the residents had been forcibly summoned to the city by the Yuan army, and the houses were now mostly vacant. However, according to the military law of the Jing'an Army, people are not allowed to requisition dwellings at will during the march, so most soldiers set up tents, erect fences, and build camps in open fields. Yu Zhilong left a group of soldiers stationed outside the city gates and in the towering places to monitor the movements in the city; The baggage battalion was ordered to cut down trees everywhere and began to build siege equipment.
Some of Tan Ye's members were active here before, and this time they happened to be part of the scout detectives.
Soon, a cavalry vanguard sent scouts back from the port outside the city, and told Yu Zhilong: The people in the port are almost empty, and it is estimated that they have either been relocated to the city, or they have fled in all directions to avoid military disasters, and there are only a few small boats left in the port, and they cannot go to sea. There were originally several Yuan Army naval division warships in the harbor without a trace, and eighty percent of them went out of the port to evade.
Yu Zhilong was greatly disappointed when he heard this, thinking that he could capture at least some of the personnel of the Yuan Army's naval division, and even capture a few warships, but this naval division was too unhelpful, and he had already fled.
Seeing Yu Zhilong's disappointed face, Wu Xingde observed his words and said: "If you want to get a Tartar battleship in the sun, I'm afraid it will be hopeless." ”
"Why is that?" Yu Zhilong said.
Wu Xingde said: "Since the Tartar ancestor attacked the Song Dynasty, he attacked Dongying twice by sea. As a result, thousands of large and small warships and sea ships were damaged, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, and almost no pieces of the oars returned. After that, the Tartars no longer had the intention of attacking eastward by sea, and the scale of this sailor division gradually withered. Rizhao originally had a partial division of the navy, dozens of large and small warships, but almost all of them were requisitioned to fight Zhang Shicheng in the south a few months ago, and he never returned. At present, there are only four or five large ships in the port, and there are less than 1,000 sailors and horses. ”
I see. Yu Zhilong suddenly realized.
Although there were many major battles at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in history, all of them were fought on land, and there were no large-scale naval battles at all.
The history of the Yuan court did have two large-scale expeditions to Dongying, one set out from Goryeo, with about 30,000 soldiers, known as the Battle of Wenyong; Once set off from Goryeo and Ningbo, set off after gathering the sailors, about 150,000 men and horses, but unfortunately the Yuan army did not know naval warfare, not to mention the inferior warships, and forcibly requisitioned many inland river ships, which were embarrassed by the heavy task of going to the sea. In the end, the sailor was killed, and twice encountered hurricanes, and almost all the ships were swept to the bottom of the sea by the wind and waves. It is true that the losses of the fleet are so large and the intensity of the hurricane is one thing, but it has a lot to do with the inferior manufacturing of many ships, even river ships and offshore ships.
Of course, Japan's fate has come to a big reversal, and it only paid a small price to save the country from the crisis. In that time and space, the legend of the kamikaze was passed down to future generations.
Yu Zhilong gently waved the horsewhip with his right hand, hitting the palm of his left hand, he groaned slightly, his wish was now in vain, and he couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. However, thinking about those fans on the other side of the ocean, whose hearts are higher than the sky, I can't help but have a sense of ambition in my heart. Since he has come to this time and space, how can he reproduce the tragic scene of the future life?
When the crowd saw that he was silent, they thought that he was disappointed that he could not get the Yuan army warship. Mu Chun couldn't help but immediately step forward and ask for battle: "The general doesn't need to worry, he will trace the coast at the end of another day, and he will capture a few Tartar warships and personally present them to the general!" ”
Lao Jing showed his face with great strength today, arousing Mu Chun's competitive psychology.
Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second. Now under the account of Zhilong, the level of combat skills is debated, and naturally Mingxiong is long, and the rest are not convinced; If you talk about boldness, Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi, Huang Er, Mingxiong, Wu Side, Ma Yunlong, Qian Zheng, etc. are also well-known figures, and Mu Chun is not outstanding; But in terms of strength, Mu Chun can disobey anyone.
He was Yu Zhilong's early right-hand man, seeing that the various generals around Yu Zhilong were gradually increasing, and the local strategists were also beginning to cling to him, Mu Chun couldn't help but worry that his status was gradually being sidelined, so he had this saying.
Tan Ye and others also asked for battle.
Yu Zhilong was overjoyed and comforted the generals: "How gratifying are the several broken ships of the Tartars?" Today's observation of the enemy is just to confuse the morale of his army, if something is expected, the opportunity for the king's military exploits should not be far away! ”
There are three gates in Rizhao City, the east gate is connected to the port, and now there is no Yuan court warship, and Yu Zhilong only leaves one to be stationed outside. Then ordered Yu Shichang to lead the cavalry and stationed outside the north gate with Qu Bo. and he led most of the troops to garrison Simon. There are patrols between the various ministries that patrol back and forth day and night. Then send more scouts, go to the north, gallop south, and explore the movements of the Yuan army in Jiaozhou and other places.
As soon as he gave the order, nearly 10,000 soldiers responded violently, and they were surging one after another, or working, or guarding, or setting up camps, or searching, and the outside of the city was suddenly busy.
At the head of the city, Meng Sanjie and Liang Si were blushing, their minds were spinning, and they were thinking carefully about countermeasures. In particular, Meng Sanjie led the generals to stand at the head of the city, and went around the city to visit the Jing'an army outside the city, and it didn't end until the night gradually deepened.
When the night fell, looking at the busy figures of the soldiers and servants inside and outside the camp, Yu Zhilong paced outside the tent for a long time, and after listening carefully to the movements in the city, he finally gave the order.
"Summons Yu Shichang, Mu Chun, Qu Bo, and Tan Ye to listen to the order!"
In the middle of the night, Yu Zhilong was sleeping in the tent, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of the earth-shattering golden gong, and heard the sound of killing outside the tent.
"Good time!" Yu Zhilong couldn't help but applaud and laugh.
Xu Yu, Kong Ying, Jin Yan, Meng Chang and others ran over in clothes to listen. Yu Zhilong was already draped at this time, standing outside the tent and watching the battle situation.
This time, the Yuan army went out of the city to attack the branch of the Jing'an army in Ximen, after all, this is the place where the commander of the Jing'an army is. The handsome banner stands high in the camp, and it seems that the strength of the Jing'an army needs to take into account the west gate, the north gate, and even the east gate, and the forces are inevitably scattered.
That night, Meng Sanjie persuaded the county Daluhua Chiwu Yanerduo and the county Yin Liangsi and others to select the red army and part of the elite of the Han army in the city, and quietly opened the city gate. Then dozens of big drums sounded at the head of the city, and this was Liang Si personally leading people to cheer for the drums.
"God bless me Dayuan, destroy the thief and eat!" Liang Si shouted excitedly, as a civilian official, he forced the opinions of everyone to abandon the city and flee north, and insisted on holding on to the spot and waiting for reinforcements. Tonight, Meng Sanjie attacked at night, and he personally raised a drum at the head of the city, which had the intention of being in battle in person. Seeing the Yuan army pouring into the camp of the thief army outside Xicheng like a tide, victory is expected, I can't help jumping excitedly!
According to the meaning of Rizhao Dalu Hua Chiwu Yanerdo, the thief army is huge, and it is better to avoid its sharpness and escape as soon as possible. Or if the wall does not come out, it can also consume the thief's sharp energy. However, Meng Sanjie watched the enemy camp for a long time today, and still insisted on attacking overnight. After all, the reinforcements in Jiaozhou and other places have not been seen so far, and even Jiaozhou only replied to Rizhao once when it first received the distress letter, and there has been no news since then.
Thinking of the long-standing relationship between Yin and Daru Huachi in the two counties, the delay in the disappearance of this reinforcement can be explained. It's just the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, does Jiaozhou not know?
Dalu Huachi held back the fire in her belly, and had to promise in writing that if Jiaozhou was willing to lend a hand, thirty percent of the Rizhao salt tax and commercial tax in the next three years could be at Jiaozhou's disposal.
The provocation and distribution of local taxes should be under the control of the central court, and at this time, Wu Yanerduo was completely out of control.
Meng Sanjie has a reason to fight.
First: Jiaozhou's reinforcements did not arrive, and the sun dried up and it was difficult to support. Yidu's reinforcements were even more hopeless.
Second: Today, he saw that Yu Zhilong was a little big, and the army was divided into three, and it would be difficult to echo at night. Moreover, the rejection of horses and trenches in the camp were not sufficient. Although the thieves vigorously built the fortification, most of the servants still had to rush to make siege equipment, and the effort in the middle of the night could not strengthen the fortification.
Third: After all, Rizhao City has excellent armaments, and Meng Sanjie's subordinates are quite elite, and their morale is still high. If they are trapped for a long time, the morale of the army will naturally decline, and it is not yet known whether they will still have the courage to attack. If it is not tonight, he took the opportunity to raid the camp of the thief army and beheaded Yu Zhilong, and the thief army will be disrupted, and it is very likely to completely collapse and collapse.
Meng Sanjie analyzed them one by one, and Wu Yanerduo and Liang Si finally agreed. It's just that Wu Yan'er is so timid that he doesn't dare to go to the city to watch the battle, so he locks himself in the back room and keeps chanting Buddha and praying. Liang Si was a little bold, and volunteered to go to the city to beat the drums and cheer in person.
At this time, the Yuan army sneaked to the side of the camp, suddenly made a noise, knocked away the antlers, and Meng Sanjie rushed in first!
There were no less than 1,500 Yuan troops out of the city this time, and there were 300 cavalry troops, all of whom were of human rank and horses wrapped in hooves. The road does not make a sound.
The Yuan army attacked the camp in a big way, sweeping everywhere along the way. The continuous antlers and other objects in the camp were moved or damaged by the Yuan army, and more than a dozen Jing'an soldiers on several corner towers were shot and killed one by one by the strong bows of the Yuan army. The Jing'an soldiers in the camp tents along the way turned around and fled when they saw that the momentum was not good, and the Yuan army had almost no resistance. Suddenly, several watchtower sentries urgently sounded gold warnings, and the warning fireworks were also launched into the air with a bang.
Meng Sanjie was overjoyed at the beginning, thinking that the camp was unprepared, and this attack on the camp would be successful, but he stepped over more than a dozen layers of camp tents one after another, broke three or four camp fences and rejected horses, and dispersed the sparse Jing'an soldiers along the way.
"Oops! In the scheme also! Meng Sanjie shouted in his heart, only then did he realize that the situation seemed to be wrong, the resistance encountered along the way was too little, and the thief army had no fighting spirit, seeing the Yuan army rushing forward, there was almost no resistance, and he turned around and ran away.
"Withdraw quickly!" Meng Sanjie waved his sword and shouted, and the Yuan cavalry had already begun to scatter and assault, and the infantry army was boiling in behind, and only hundreds of people could hear his order.
The forward of the Yuan army turned sharply and wanted to retreat. After walking a few steps, the golden drum suddenly shook in all directions, and countless Jing'an troops emerged from the dark night, shouting: "Hugh is leaving, Tartar!" ”
There were countless arrows that fell in the air, knocking down the Yuan army. The arrogance of the Yuan army suddenly disappeared, and in fright, he turned his head and ran away. Meng Sanjie secretly complained, ignoring his own foot soldiers who were blocking the way in front of him, he just drove his horse and flew away, hoping to kill him back to the city.
The two cavalry armies outside the camp flew in, it was Yu Shichang and Qu Bo. The cavalry held torches high, and when most of the Yuan army did not have time to withdraw from the camp, they could close together from both sides and block in front of the Yuan army that was rapidly retreating.
Liang Sihe, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, suddenly turned pale, if this new force out of the city was annihilated, this Rizhao City would no longer have to be defended.
It turned out that Yu Zhilong showed the enemy weakness, deliberately built the shuai camp fence relatively simply, and then erected the shuai flag to indicate the location. Deliberately ordered the division of troops in several places, with the idea of a sneak attack by the enemy. By night, Yu Zhilong had already withdrawn to the rear, basically leaving an empty camp.
What is Meng Sanjie's temperament, Yu Zhilong has long known from Wu Xingde and others. Knowing that he is brave and greedy, he is often addicted to gambling. If there is an opportunity, it is inevitable not to press it. Tonight, Yu Zhilong deliberately left a few flaws, and those who wished hooked their ears.
In fact, since dark, the ambushed military horses have quietly moved to hide not far from the west gate. There are many houses, woods, and ravines here, as long as they are seven or eight miles away from the city, it is not easy for the Yuan army to find them at night.
If Gray Meng Sanjie attacked the Jing'an army in Dongcheng or Beicheng at night, he would naturally be able to gain something, but he chose Xicheng, who would complain!
