Chapter 827: The Ming Army Attacks the City
"Li Yi, Li Yi, bullshit, he didn't fight a few battles and was appointed as the commander of the 100,000 army, and he was not deceived by my Li Chengdong's little trick!
Hahaha......"
Li Chengdong's arrogant laughter sounded in the study.
With his own strength to defeat Li Yi's 100,000 army, Li Yi was defeated, and General Chen Yue of Jiaodong had no possibility of capturing Jinan, after all, without Li Yi's 100,000 army, the strength of the green battalion soldiers was not under Chen Yue in Jiaodong!
In this way, it is equivalent to defeating Chen Yue's Northern Expedition with one force! If he can defeat Chen Yue, the world-famous King of Qi, his reputation will be known to everyone in the world, and he will become the first general of the Qing Green Battalion, and he will inevitably be reused by the Manchu court!
The Manchu court has promised that whoever can really make military exploits will be the real feudal king, and it is natural for him to become a feudal king with a provincial fief with his own merits! and no longer the prince who is now in name only.
"The prince is wise! Li Yi is just a partial general under King Qi, what ability does he have to command an army of 100,000, and how can he be your opponent. Master Liu was also complimenting on the side, which made Li Chengdong's laughter even more cheerful.
"But Lord Wang, General Yuanyin is your righteous son, I'm afraid it's not good to involve him, once he has a different heart, wouldn't it be a big loss" Master Liu said suspiciously.
"Hmph, it's because he's my son, so I'm going to test him. Over the years, we have broken through many villages, and many of our brothers have also come in this way, and they can still have food to eat with Lao Tzu, and staying in the village is really a dead end.
Li Yuanyin's family was broken, but his parents were not killed by Lao Tzu, but died in the hands of Gao Jie, and his mother was even killed by Gao Jie's adultery.
If he resents Lao Tzu because of this, what is the use of keeping such a righteous son? Besides, Lao Tzu now has a son, not a righteous son! If it weren't for the bureau being more like, how could the spies of the Ming army in the city believe it? Li Chengdong sneered.
For Li Chengdong, as long as he can destroy the Ming army outside the city and make immortal achievements, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, and a mere Li Yuanyin is nothing at all!
"Give Hu Maozhen an order, when the Ming army attacks the city tomorrow, he will be ordered to kill that Jinyi Wei Qianhu and clean all the Ming army's fine works in the city!" Li Chengdong ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Master Liu agreed and went out.
There was a glimmer of light outside, and the sky was about to dawn, but Li Chengdong, who had not slept all night, did not feel a trace of fatigue, but was full of energy!
Just after a little breakfast, a green battalion soldier came to report, saying that there was a movement in the Ming army camp outside the city, Li Chengdong was suddenly shocked, put down the food in his hand, put on the helmet and armor with the help of the guards, and then got on the war horse and took hundreds of soldiers to Xicheng.
Jinan is the capital of Shandong, the city is high and the pool is deep, and each city gate has an urn city. The urn city of the west gate is one hundred and ten steps wide, surrounded by four city walls, there are arrow tower battlements, there are eighteen hidden soldier holes, and three thousand soldiers can be ambushed. And this is Li Chengdong's first trap against the Ming army!
went up the city wall along the road, Hu Maozhen was already waiting on the city wall, and when he saw Li Chengdong, he hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted.
"Is everything ready?" Li Chengdong asked Hu Maozhen.
Hu Maozhen nodded: "Those people have been controlled by me, and they don't know anything about staying in the courtyard at the moment!" ”
"Hahaha......" Li Chengdong laughed heartily, stretched out his hand and patted Hu Maozhen's shoulder, "Good brother, wait for this battle to end, for my brother to protect your merits in front of the regent, with the great merit of defeating the 100,000 Ming army, your and my brother's position in the Qing Dynasty will be extremely stable, and brother, it is also easy to be crowned a prince!" ”
"Thank you for the promotion!" Hu Maozhen was overjoyed and saluted with his fists.
"Hey, you and my brother, what is your name Wangye, and I will be called Big Brother in the future!" Li Chengdong said with a smile.
"Yes, big brother!" Hu Maozhen said respectfully.
"Good brother, you go back and prepare first, stabilize those people first, and don't go wrong at the critical moment."
"Big brother, just kill them, why bother so much?" Hu Maozhen raised his palm and gestured viciously, and said.
Li Chengdong shook his head: "Don't ask for it, I don't know that they have no other fine work in the city, if you let the fine work in the city find an abnormality and send a letter, you can give up all your efforts, act a full set, don't lose a big one because of a small one!" ”
Hu Maozhen promised to go down to the city, and he was the main player in luring the enemy. Then, Li Chengdong issued a series of orders, and the green battalion soldiers all over the city were actively preparing.
A large number of soldiers poured into the city wall, and the young and strong people in the city were also mobilized, and they were forced by the green battalion soldiers with knives and guns to carry various defensive materials to the city. In the face of the Ming army, Xicheng is the target of key prevention, and more than half of the green battalion soldiers are here. In addition, there are thousands of green battalion soldiers in the northern city, and the number of soldiers on the other two walls is very small.
According to the agreement between Li Yi, the commander of the Ming army, and Hu Maozhen, the Ming army will attack the west city gate, and then Hu Maozhen will open the city gate to let the Ming army enter the city, and the inside and outside should jointly attack Jinan. Therefore, the focus of the Ming army's attack must be Xicheng.
Standing on the city wall and looking west, I saw that the Ming army had already left the camp and was lining up to Jinan. There are more than 10,000 people without boundaries, not to mention that there are 70,000 or 80,000 Ming troops gathered in the west, and the array sent out can be described as endless, and the scene is extremely spectacular!
Standing on the city wall and looking at it, you can see that the front of the Ming army is dozens of cannons, and then there are hundreds of ladders, there are hundreds of shield cars in the middle of the ladders, and there are more Lu public cars as high as several zhang in the middle of the team, it seems that in order to break through Jinan, the Ming army has not worked hard these days. This also made Li Chengdong full of confidence in the next plan.
The Ming army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, dozens of artillery pieces arrived at the position first, the gunners placed the artillery and quickly loaded it, and then dozens of artillery guns fired one after another, and the shells smashed towards the city wall across the sky, and a huge sound resounded in the sky.
In Jinan City, listening to the rumbling cannons, Shen Lian's expression was lifted, and his face showed excitement, the army is finally here!
"Damn, Li Chengdong is really not a thing, he doesn't trust Lao Tzu at all, and he wants Lao Tzu's subordinates to be a reserve." Hu Maozhen said stupidly.
"Isn't this very good, when Li Chengdong is exhausted in the city, he will definitely change General Hu to go to the city, let's take the opportunity to send troops to open the city gate, and then General Hu, you will lead people to the city to kill Li Chengdong!" Shen Lian said happily.
"Hey, why the hell didn't I think of that!" Hu Maozhen turned his worries into joy and said, "But in this case, General Li will suffer a lot of losses in attacking the city." ”
"Don't worry, General Li will not attack, the generals under the prince are not Qing troops, they all love soldiers like sons, and they will not kill their brothers at will." Shen Lian said with a smile.
While speaking, there was a shout of killing outside, and the Ming army had begun to attack the city.
