Among the various defense materials prepared by Ning Yuan City, fire oil was the most difficult thing to store, and the stock was not large enough.

Therefore, fire oil can only be used when it is most critical.

I think that when the golden tartar hedgehog gathered at the root of the city to dig the city, if he did not use fire oil, he had to use traditional equipment.

For example, rolling wood and stones, or 10,000 enemies, wolf fangs and whatever.

To be honest, Man Gui really doesn't like those traditional city defenders, and the flaws are too big.

Not to mention their attack power, the way they are used alone makes Man Gui not optimistic.

How many soldiers do you need to crowd the city to use those people's clothes!

It's just too inefficient.

In Man Gui's opinion, it is better to prepare an elite cavalry dead soldiers.

At a critical time, the next wave of assault on the city is much more efficient than the head of the city. It can also effectively deter the enemy and involve the enemy's huge energy.

Man Gui thought to himself that this was the best way to defend the city.

Moreover, even if you don't need this dead army to defend the city. But once Houjin has the same rout as it is today, wouldn't it be better to use an elite cavalry to expand the results!

Such a reasonable request, why did Yuan Chonghuan just disagree?

Man Gui was really depressed in his heart.

Defending the city, how can there be a step without going out and guarding it.

Then it is better to simply close the city gates!

"General Zu, do we need to block the city gates?"

Man Gui, who was sulking, really heard Yuan Chonghuan's inquiry about blocking the door.

What, do you really want to block the city gates?

Man Gui was shocked.

"Yuan Daotai, this city gate must not be blocked!

Once the gates are blocked, the Houjin Tartars will no longer be afraid of our raids, and they will be able to attack the city walls without sparing.

If it comes to a critical moment, we will not even open the door and raid, the only means of countermeasures. can only be beaten passively to the end. ”

Man Gui shouted anxiously, shouting and glaring at Zu Dashou.

This barbarian still doesn't forget to open the city and attack.

Hearing Man Gui's shout, Yuan Chonghuan quickly glanced at Man Gui with some disgust, and quickly withdrew his gaze, only staring at Zu Dashou.

Facing Yuan Chonghuan's questioning and Man Gui's eyes, Zu Dashou thought for a moment before answering cautiously.

"Daotai, we can prepare the sacks and other materials to block the door, and be ready to block the door.

If the Houjin Tartars attack the gate too tightly, we will block the gate when it is critical. If Houjin doesn't attack the city gate, we don't need to tie up our arms.

It's good to keep the gates to scare the tartars. ”

In response to Zu Dashou's answer, Yuan Chonghuan nodded with satisfaction.

This is an honest and serious opinion, which is like Man Gui Lao who wants to attack, attack, and attack again, and does not care about the difference in actual combat strength between the two sides.

Can we beat the Tartars?

It really doesn't make sense.

After seeing the bravery of the Jurchen Tartars, Yuan Chonghuan now looks at Zu Dashou more and more pleasing to the eye.

Ignoring Man Gui, Yuan Chonghuan directly arranged to Zu Dashou: "Then there are all kinds of materials that General Lao Zu needs to prepare to block the door, and be ready to block the door at any time." ”

Hearing Yuan Chonghuan arrange it like this, Zu Dashou looked at Man Gui with an embarrassed expression.

According to the defense area divided in Ningyuan City, this Xicheng should be the defense area of the deputy general Zuofu.

Zuo Fu is now sitting in the city and has not come to discuss matters, so this errand should also be arranged by Man Gui, who is in charge of supervising the whole city.

Say that it shouldn't be handled by the person in charge of Nancheng, his ancestor Dashou?

Hearing Yuan Chonghuan's overstepping arrangement, Man Gui snorted sullenly and simply stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little oppressive.

"Yes."

In the depressing atmosphere, Zu Dashou was worried about Yuan Chonghuan's face, so he had to agree first.

Outside the city of Ningyuan

Nurhachi pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.

"Order, ask the craftsman battalion to build a rushing car overnight, and go to open the city gate of Ningyuan for me." Nurhachi shouted viciously.

Seeing that Tong Yangxing still wanted to advise, Nurhachi waved his hand and gave a direct order loudly.

"Tonight, I will go and fill in all sections of the trenches overnight, and be sure to fill in the trenches in front of the forts on the left and right.

Tomorrow the red flag will attack the fort on the left, and the blue flag will attack the fort on the right.

Garrison with white flags.

The red flag was inlaid with two yellow flags and Ben Khan directly attacked the city walls and gates of Ningyuan. ”

Nurha's red eyes were full of fire and anger as he stared at the generals in the tent, and let out a loud roar from his mouth: "Ben Khan wants to see if my Great Golden Eight Banners have become so weak that they can't even take a small city." ”

Looking at the silent generals, Nurhachi slowed down his voice again: "Tomorrow, the archers of each army will choose barbed arrows to attack first." Ropes were tied to the end of the arrows, and I dismantled their armor first.

Tomorrow, I don't have to wait for the right time to use heavy arrows to directly destroy their armor. The city head is only more than 3 zhang high, and a little wooden shelf can withstand our twelve hard bows and arrows.

All in all, when attacking the city, all armies gave priority to destroying Ningyuan's defenses.

Ben Khan wants to see how long the Ming army can hold up under our rain of arrows without armor.

Also, when the ditch was filled, he pulled Nikan up to Ben Khan. Let them use muskets to shoot at the head of the city. Those who do not know how to use muskets go to dig the city, and they go to climb the city.

Tell Nikan that as long as Ning Yuan is taken, their whole family will carry the flag.

Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, I have more than 100,000 Eight Banner soldiers, and I won't be able to take this little Ning Yuan! ”

In the face of the angry Nurhachi, the Houjin generals could only respond loudly.

In the night, both sides inside and outside Ningyuan City began their own preparations.

"What sound?"

At night, the Ming army at the head of the city heard some strange sounds coming from outside the city.

Under the command of the leading officer, several flaming rockets were fired far away.

Under the dim firelight, the dark shadows under the city came into the eyes of the Ming army.

"Enemy attack!"

Sharp sirens echoed throughout the city.

In the darkness, the cannons at the head of Ningyuan City began to roar incessantly.

Hearing the sound of cannons, Man Gui hurried to the city.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he saw Zuo Fu, the lord of the West City who was guarding the city, Man Gui asked.

"It seems that Houjin wants to sneak attack at night?" Zuo Fu said with some uncertainty.

"It seems?" Man Gui frowned.

"The sons only saw a lot of people coming down from the city, but they had not yet come near the city wall." Zuo Fu's face was also full of confusion.

The night is too dark to see clearly.

"Someone, a few more people, a few more rockets?" Man Gui shouted.

The Ming army at the head of the city gathered more than 20 strong archers, and deliberately tied a large ball of cotton yarn soaked in fire oil to the archers' arrows.

Seeing that it was well prepared, in the neat order, these 20 or so specially made rockets flew out far away.

In the firelight, the ant-colony-like post-Kinnikan appeared not too far below the city.

"What's that?" Man Gui asked, pointing to the place where the black shadow was haunting.

Under the light of the fire, Man Gui could only see shadowy black shadows coming and going quickly, but he couldn't see what they were doing.

"Over there, that's where the trench is!" Zuo Fu carefully distinguished the approximate area and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Houjin is filling in the trenches!"

Prepare for a tough fight!

Before the words were spoken, Man Gui and Zuo Fu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, all of them had this meaning in their eyes.

Houjin filled the trench overnight, and tomorrow it will definitely launch a stormy attack.

The night suddenly became much brighter.

The Nikan beneath the city could also see the blurred outline.

Man Gui and Zuo Fu looked up at the sky in unison, and saw a broken moon that had quietly climbed into the sky.

Tomorrow looks like it's going to be a nice day!
