Yang Xin did it on purpose, he just wanted to make these guys have no choice.

Stick to Shenyang.

After the victory, he would take advantage of his special relationship in the palace to glorify them to Wanli......

He should be grateful for those rumors for this, because he is a white body without any official position, but he is not only trusted by Xiong Tingbi, but even the Li family brothers listen to him, so during this time, rumors are flying all over the sky, all of them are speculations about his identity, these rumors are very exaggerated, and even the statement that he is the face of the imperial concubine has appeared. And when he left the capital, the emperor Changsui personally beat the drum to see him off, as well as his various legends in the capital, all of which were exaggerated under the effect of distance, and finally he became a demon who used witchcraft to defile the harem.

Of course, the more this happens, the more powerful it is.

Therefore, these generals of Shenyang's guard were convinced of his energy in the palace.

Then Wanli will definitely compensate for their losses, which can be said to be no suspense, Wanli is not so old and confused that he doesn't even understand this, and Wanli also sees their loyalty, and it is indispensable to increase the rank and promotion, so it can be said that the losses will be doubled.

But they couldn't hold Shenyang, or they surrendered to Jiannu.

Then there is nothing.

Boar skins won't compensate them, and in fact it would be nice to spare their lives, as they themselves know very well, at least so far they haven't been a good candidate for refuge. Li Yongfang and Tong Yangxing can't prove anything, the former is a dead end if he doesn't surrender, and the latter has a close relationship with wild boar skin, and they can't be the envy of these Ming military guards in Shenyang. After such a comparison between the two, for these generals, sticking to Shenyang has become the only choice, and it is possible to stick to it without losing both people and money, and even increase the official and enter the knighthood because of this.

After all, the boar skin killed the son.

It is still difficult to say whether the boar skin will be angry and slaughter the city.

Besides, they are powerless to fight at this time, and their reliance is nothing more than their respective families, but those who have seen Yang Xin's violent painting style on the battlefield, who dares to confront this kind of monster-level fierce general?

The end result was doomed.

Cao Wenzhao and Huang Degong, two minions, led those soldiers from the Beijing camp who had nothing to do with the local area, quickly smashed open the gates of those big households, wantonly looted all the livestock, and carried out all the gold, silver, silk and other property that could be carried out.

Then the whole Shenyang was fragrant with meat.

The soldiers and young men who were eating meat, looking at their wives and children who were also well fed, immediately rushed to repair the city wall with great enthusiasm, which was nothing more than a little collapsed, and it could be covered with mud, and even more difficult to climb before the mud dried, and it would be more perfect to bury a pile of iron skewers in the mud. While repairing the walls, they also quickly built small trebuchets or single-tip cannons......

Of course, it's the easy version.

To be precise, it is like building a shed, with two shelves crossed with wood, buried in the soil below, and a beam on the top, on which a long and short cross a long pole, the short end is tied to dozens of short ropes, and a bunch of young people and even women pull the ropes below. The long end was tied to a pocket with a rope, and the bricks or stones were put into the pocket, and the people below the short end suddenly pulled down, so the green bricks behind were thrown out.

This thing is actually called a combined cannon.

A small trebuchet made on the battlefield during field wars.

The quality is miserable.

Durability is just as miserable.

But no matter what, this thing can throw a green brick weighing five or six catties three to fifty meters, and even when it has enough strength at the beginning, it can be thrown directly hundreds of meters away.

That's enough.

In fact, it is enough to throw it over the city wall.

The biggest problem of these young men is that they are afraid of Jiannu, they dare not face Jiannu, they have to let them fight with them on the city wall, they are very likely to escape, but this way does not need to be faced, unless Jiannu rushes up the city wall, they can't see it at all. So they just had to keep repeating the reloading and firing procedure behind the city walls, and they didn't even need to aim, as long as they threw the stones, they didn't care about the rest, and then as their reward, they paid five pieces of silver per person a day.

The end of the day!

Every day, the money can be directly in your hand.

Even women join in the hustle and bustle.

What they need to do is to re-distill the liquor taken out of the city, and finally get a high degree of alcohol to treat the wounded, especially those with minor injuries, at this time the arrows are not clean, and it is common for them to die of infection after being hit by the arrow, so Li Rumei shot Ono Chengyuki, and the Japanese swore that he used poisoned arrows. In addition, tie a stretcher, set up a cauldron, and disinfect the cloth that spares the wound, as long as the disinfection is done well, the vast majority of minor injuries will not affect the battle, Yang Xin After all, there are less than five thousand in his hands that can really fight, and it is necessary to insist on fighting with minor injuries.

Even the children were driven out to collect feces and urine from house to house.

Gotta boil gold juice.

This imaginative name, despite its heavy taste, is a good thing, it maximizes the damage of the wound, and no matter where you get an arrow, as long as you get on it, then there is a high chance of dying from the infection. In fact, at this time, there were some means of defending the city, because of the increasing application of artillery, many people even forgot how to defend the city under the condition of pure cold weapons. When it comes to war, they are accustomed to looking for gunpowder weapons, but those weapons that do not use gunpowder are forgotten by them, just like Yang Xin in the warehouse of Shenyang Zhongwei, he can still find a three-bow bed crossbow full of dust. This kind of weapon, which is estimated to have not been used for decades, was also moved to the city wall after a slight repair, as for the crossbow arrows, it doesn't matter, there are no blacksmiths in the city, and the acropolis of the Ming Dynasty has its own military capabilities, and this thing is to use pig iron to cast arrows.

If you are shot by it, it doesn't really make a big difference whether you have an arrow or not.

Even some equally old crossbows were taken out.

"Technological progress has allowed us to leapfrog to the era of firearms all at once, but our steps are too big, exceeding the length of technological progress!"

Yang Xin said with emotion.

The problem of the Ming army was actually that it was overly dependent on various firearms, but the ability of cold weapons declined.

This is similar to our Qing Dynasty.

Except for a few elite soldiers, the other soldiers hardly knew how to fight hand-to-hand with cold weapons, and not only could they not draw hard bows, but they even stopped using crossbows, but they liked the three-eyed guns, tiger squat cannons, furlong machines, bird guns and other messy firearms. However, firearms in this era did not yet dominate the battlefield, and the rate of fire of the arquebus limited the projection of firepower, not to mention the cavalry, and the galloping infantry could rush through the range of the arquebus. In the end, the battle still requires hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, and the final result is that once the firearms cannot stop Jiannu, the Ming army will be defeated without suspense after entering hand-to-hand combat.

On the contrary, the white pole soldiers, who are still accustomed to cold weapons, are eye-catching.

When the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang army car battalion got together, it became the deepest pain in the field of Jiannu, although our Qing Dynasty never said how many people died in the battle of Hunhe, but with those generals who fled without a fight, we can also know how helpless our Qing Dynasty is.

And the deepest memory of the Battle of the Hunhe River for Jiannu is actually the crossbow.

"Not necessarily!"

Chen Yujie said.

"Don't think that Europeans rely on firearms, Europeans fight the same half of cold weapons, the proportion of firearms in the Spanish phalanx is about the same as Qi Jiguang's car battalion, and the stronger thing is that the spearmen dare to stab each other in the face at a distance of more than a zhang, rather than the round fire of arquebuses. As for the Hongyi cannon, it is indeed very good, but it itself is on the European battleship, the battleship does not need to consider the weight and mobility, unless the Europeans on land attack the city, the artillery used in the field is not stronger than ours, although our Furlong machine is indeed very bad, but the most they use is still two or three catties of light artillery shells! ”

Yang Xin said very politely.

He knew what Chen Yujie wanted to say.

The two men had the same ideas and disagreed, he admired Qi Jiguang's Che Ying, and Chen Yujie admired the European tactics described by the missionary, or the Spanish phalanx.

"But their field artillery is also like these Furlong machines in front of us, which blow up at every turn?"

Chen Yujie said unconvinced.

"You know, their artillerymen usually pray to Yahweh before they open fire, and they hope that Yahweh will bless them from being killed by their own artillery."

Yang Xin said.

"Huh?"

Chen Yujie was stunned.

"This is a worse era, don't think that Europe will be much better than the Ming Dynasty, the final victory on the European battlefield is still determined by cold weapons, and the battle of the Spanish phalanx to the end still depends on the mutual stabbing of those spearmen. The hand-to-hand combat ability of cold weapons, I am afraid that in another two hundred years, it will still be the last decisive means on the battlefield, firearms are indeed good, but firearms must completely kick the hand-to-hand combat ability of cold weapons aside, I am afraid that we will not be able to see it until death. And now the Ming army needs to improve not firearms, our firearms are already enough, what we really need to improve is precisely the hand-to-hand combat ability of cold weapons that has been gradually abandoned by us. ”

Yang Xin said.

While the two were talking, the red sun on the horizon was rising, and in the camp of Jiannu outside the city, countless Jiannu carrying ladders poured out.

"Wild boar skin is in such a hurry!"

Yang Xin said with some surprise.

"He knows the situation in Shenyang better than us!"

Chen Yujie said.

Indeed, the wild boar skin knows the situation in Shenyang City better than them at this time, at least it will not be like them, they don't even know that the city wall has collapsed in several places, even if the wild boar skin doesn't know, Li Yongfang, Tong Yangxing and Fan Wencheng must know. Therefore, the wild boar skin does not need to build too many siege equipment at all, a simple ladder is enough, of course, it is also possible that the wild boar skin is really in a hurry, after all, the food in his hand cannot support a few days.

"Then let's have a decisive battle!"

Yang Xin said excitedly.

As he spoke, he took the horn in the hand of the soldier next to him, and blew it against the morning sun in the east, and the loud horn sounded throughout Shenyang, kicking off the prelude to this bloody battle......
