Taking advantage of the fact that his guards went to fetch him iron spears, Yang Zhong began to observe the enemy army again, and at this time, almost all the enemy troops stepped on the river, and even the baggage behind them came up.

Looking at it, he suddenly found a very important problem, that is, the enemy did not bring siege equipment!

Although the Manjing Guard City Wall is not high, there are still ten feet, that is to say, it is impossible for the enemy to climb up directly, at least they have to build a personal wall or set up a ladder to climb the city wall, and now the enemy has no siege equipment, and then think of the white cloak on their bodies, Yang Zhong finally understood.

This group of people is preparing to make a sneak attack, if they don't pay attention, let them rush to within a few hundred steps of the city wall only to find out, when the time comes, they will directly rush up, and they can easily rush up by stacking a personal wall, but now, it is estimated that they will not dare.

Thinking about it, Yang Zhong's eyes couldn't help but show a glint of hope, in this way, there is a chance that Man Jingwei can hold it.

Because Manjing Wei is located in the mountain pass, the valley to the west is not very wide, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of people to attack at the same time.

If it is a sneak attack, you can also rush up like a tide of 100,000 people, catch yourself by surprise, and break the city in one fell swoop.

However, now that the enemy can't sneak attack, he must be stationed to build siege equipment, which is not so easy to build.

If the ladders, wells, and siege vehicles are all built, it is convenient to attack the city, and 100,000 people take turns to go up non-stop, and it is estimated that they can hold up for a day or two at most, but it will take at least seven or eight days to build ladders, wells and siege vehicles for 100,000 people.

If you only build ladders and siege vehicles, it will take at least four or five days, but the attack power is much weaker, and your own side can carry it for at least three or four days.

If they only build ladders, maybe a day or two will be enough, but if the enemy carries the ladder and rushes naked, then the casualties in the middle will be large, and such an attack will be able to carry it for at least five or six days!

According to the distance between Manjingwei and Zhenzhen Hewei, the reinforcements will arrive in five days at the earliest, and ten days at the latest, as long as they hold on until the moment the reinforcements arrive, they will be victorious!

Now it seems that no matter how the enemy attacks the city, it is impossible to break through the Manjing Guard within five days, and it depends on whether the reinforcements come quickly.

Yang Zhong knew that the reinforcements would be victorious when they arrived, and Golovin naturally knew that once the reinforcements from the Ming Empire arrived, he would be out of luck.

However, now it was discovered by the Ming army three or four miles away, and a sneak attack was impossible, if it was discovered when it was three or four hundred meters closer, he would also try a wave, and now it was so far away, he didn't even have the interest to try.

If you can't sneak attack, then you can only attack hard, and he also knows that the reinforcements of the Ming army will arrive in ten days at the latest, so he thought about it before he came, if the sneak attack fails, he will build a ladder to attack!

When the army arrived on the opposite bank, he directly ordered half of the people to camp on the river bank, and half of them went to the mountains to cut down trees and build ladders.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhong simply asked the guards to pass an order and recruit all the generals above the battalion level to come to the city wall for a meeting.

Soon, two regiment commanders and ten battalion commanders lined up in front of him.

When everyone arrived, Yang Zhong said directly: "I just took a closer look, the enemy army came in a hurry and did not carry any siege equipment, so we still have a great hope of holding Manjingwei." “

When everyone heard this, they all showed excited looks, everyone is not afraid of death, but it is valuable to die, and it is naturally the best to be able to keep Manjingwei.

Yang Zhong continued: "Now, I will say a few points, and everyone will write them down.

First of all, ammunition must be saved, the ammunition we carry is limited, and if we want to hold on for a long time, we cannot waste ammunition.

If the enemy does not rush forward, he cannot shoot a volley of guns, but must aim and shoot, and each soldier is only allowed to shoot a maximum of two rounds, that is, twelve rounds.

Grenades should also be spared, although this time each soldier is equipped with ten, and it can't stand littering, so each person is only allowed to throw two in each round.

Then, you should also pay attention to the attack distance, it is winter, everyone's clothes are very thick, I just looked at it, there are many people in the enemy army wearing animal skin clothes, according to this situation, a hundred paces away, even if it hits, it will not cause much damage, so you must wait until the enemy is close to a hundred paces before shooting.

Finally, taking advantage of the enemy's efforts to build siege equipment, we also have to prepare more city defense facilities, even if the rolling stones and sassalwoods are counted, it is no problem to hold these rounds on the city wall now.

In addition, everyone who is on duty at night will go down to bury some mines, and we will bring 10,000 mines and bury 1,000 mines every night.

Have you memorized them all? “

When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "I understand." “

Yang Zhong nodded and advised: "Everyone should pay attention to rest when they are fine, this battle is not something that can be finished in a day or two, okay, let's go down and prepare." “

The first day passed, and both sides were nervously preparing, and a big battle was about to start.

Early the next morning, Golovin couldn't help it, he also knew that time was pressing, so he was ready to build a ladder while attacking the city!

After a little preparation, he ordered 10,000 soldiers to carry a hundred ladders to attack Manjingwei.

Tsarist Russia is also a veteran of thermal weapons warfare, and naturally knows how to avoid bullets, so they did not stupidly line up in a neat formation to line up with guns, but lined up in stragglers and rushed over all over the mountains.

The strange cries of the Rakshasa soldiers outside the city did not have the slightest impact on the soldiers of the Guanning Army, they still stood upright on the city wall, neat and unmoving.

Yang Zhong didn't directly command the soldiers defending the city, he said everything he had to say, the quality of the officers and soldiers of the Guanning army was very high, and he didn't need to nag all the time.

He just stood straight in the middle of the wall with an iron spear in his hand, waiting for the enemy to rush up and stab them down!

At this time, the commanders of the two battalions were nervously watching the enemy's position, three miles, two miles, one mile, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, and entered the range of the rifle.

The two battalion commanders ordered at the same time: "Pay attention to concealment. “

With a sound of "brushing", the upright soldiers who were still standing suddenly squatted down at the same time, leaving only the generals at all levels standing behind the arrow stacks, observing the movement of the enemy through the hole in the middle.

The Russian general who commanded the siege was depressed, the city wall was obviously full of human heads just now, and he was just about to order the soldiers to aim and shoot, brush, brush, and all the heads were gone!

Hide, right, he yelled directly: "Speed up the charge." “

"Kill." All the besieging soldiers immediately rushed towards the city wall as if they had been stimulated.

However, as soon as they rushed to a distance of 100 steps from the city wall, a dense explosion sounded, and ice, dirt, and snowflakes were blown in all directions.

With the explosion of mines, the battle finally began!
