157 Lure the enemy

"I said, while they are sleeping, kill, you don't let me. Now it's good, the knife is sharpened! ”

"Wait." Yang Changfan leaned against the tree with bated breath, "This time they are going to be annihilated, don't you see that they already have horses?" ”

"I've been waiting since dawn, and when will I have to wait!"

"When nothing goes wrong." Yang Changfan was talking, when he suddenly saw the ghost and the widow divided into two roads, and rode his horse to surround him on both sides, he couldn't help but get up and shouted: "Good division!" Crazy! Crazy! 40 people are still hard to dismantle! ”

"Up?" Teqi was already eager to try, "Okay, this group of people, one head, ten taels." ”

"No, be careful to keep up with one of the teams." Yang Changfan returned to his side to untie the reins of the horse and said with a smile, "Your life is more precious than that of ghosts." ”

At the head of the city, Zhang Shiche was already exhausted, and when he saw the ghost and the wolf divide the army, he was worried again. Judging from the direction, the ghost wolf plans to attack the two gates at the same time, and he can only deal with one side, so it would be nice to have one more reliable defender. Now the guards are either old or young, the old ones can't move, and the small ones have to fight hard as soon as they are slightly excited......

Zhang Shiche didn't have time to hesitate, so he had to make hasty arrangements and follow Xu Hai by himself, and the black-robed monk would defend wherever he went.

Yang Changfan on the other side came in reverse, where there was no Xu Hai, he would follow which team of ghosts.

In order to make the Ming army unable to take care of the end of the city, this time the ghost and widow siege was not as casual as before, and the two teams of people rode horses to besiege the city, waiting for the opportunity.

Yang Changfan and his entourage hid in the forest, circling in a big circle from a distance, seeing that they couldn't keep up, Teqi became more and more anxious, but Yang Changfan still didn't give the order to attack, everything was hidden first, and he would rather delay for a while than be exposed. Because he knew that the damage caused by this group of ghosts in Nanjing was limited, and he could not give them any chance to escape.

Teqi is a fiery character, but his younger brother Teba is a little more feminine, and he is not in a hurry at this time, but he is puzzled and asks: "Nanjing, why is the city wall so broken?" ”

Yang Changfan smiled and patted Teqi: "Asked the point, learn from your brother." ”

"What's this, I'll go up, I can do it too." Teqi looked at the city wall that could be climbed twice and said disdainfully.

"It's not as simple as you think. When I was in Nanjing, I had already surveyed, and the city wall of Nanjing was divided into four layers - the palace city, the imperial city, the capital city, and the outer outline. Among them, the first three floors were built in the Taizu period, and the walls of the capital are all made of fine bricks, more than five zhang high, and the ghosts and widows who come ten times more also do not want to enter the city. ”

Teqi looked at the low earthen city wall from afar: "Five zhang? ”

"This is the outline, later expanded, in addition to the main city gate with bricks, mostly by the cliff cut or rammed soil, naturally not strong, the heavy defense is arranged to the north, and no one thinks that there will be war in Nanjing."

Teba asked: "Why, don't keep the inside, but keep the outside?" ”

"The walls of the capital are only a few miles, and they can't fit so many people. However, it is estimated that at this time, the family members of the dignitaries have retreated to the capital. ”

"Hmph, Nanjing, that's just it." Teqi was obviously not a decent man, and squinted at the thousand-year-old capital, "If there are a few more brothers, I will also get it." ”

"You can't say this to the Han people." Yang Changfan corrected again and again, "If others report you, I can't protect you." ”

"I'm not stupid." Te Qi had a shrewd look.

"If you take it off, you can't keep it." Teba followed up and said, "Han people, there are many people, there are many fields, sooner or later you will be drowned." ”

Teqi said disdainfully: "There are many people, there are many fields, why do you want us to fight for them?" ”

"Yes......" Teba couldn't figure it out either, and looked at Yang Changfan.

"Alright." Yang Changfan held his breath and said, "I can't see them anymore, get out of the forest, approach slowly, and wait for my order." ”

After half an hour's effort, two teams of ghosts and widows, one to the east and one team to the west, rode around the city for more than ten miles, calculating the agreed time in their hearts, and when they found the low place of the outer soil city, they drew their knives and dismounted.

To say that this outline of the earth city, at least there should be a zhang high, how can the style of the Ministry of Industry dictate, cutting corners has become a rule, plus no one thought that there would really be a war in Nanjing, and no one was idle to propose to strengthen the city wall, which makes the outline always have a few low walls less than a zhang, and people with sharp hands and feet can almost turn over.

Fortunately, there are few ghosts and widows, and once they enter the city, they are surrounded by a large number of guards, plus there are firearms in their hands, and the wolves can never go deep, and they will retreat after killing. Xu Haiqing knew that he couldn't wait for the reinforcements to arrive in the city, so he was forced to split into two teams on the basis of 42 people, looking forward to the Ming army not being able to take care of it, so he could take advantage of the opportunity.

For more than a day, the two sides have been fighting several times along the outer silhouette, Zhang Shiche has always been on the front line, and at this time he also summed up some tactics, the musketeers first ascended the city, deterred with firearms, and strived to consume one or two.

The tactics are very scientific, but the quality of the troops is really worrying. In the actual battle, the firecrackers were frightened when they saw the rushing Japanese robbers, most of them consciously retreated early, and the spearmen were poking at the outer silhouette all the time, dozens of Japanese robbers landed in the city at the same time, and they could always find a suitable place to jump down, and the swordsmen were afraid of death and did not dare to sacrifice their lives to fight, but they were far away around the game, and they entered the stage of consumption, and the ghosts were tired, so they withdrew from the city outline. All that remains is to save lives and count the casualties. After a game, most of the Ming army suffered hundreds of casualties, and if it was consumed like this, Nanjing would really be broken in less than ten days, but Zhang Shiche knew that within three days, reinforcements would arrive first.

For more than half an hour, the ghost widows led by the black-robed monk had found their weak spots and dismounted one after another outside the range of the firecracker.

Zhang Shiche went up to the city with the support of the sergeant, looked at the ghosts and widows more than a dozen feet away, dozens of gunners were on his side, and he was ready for a hard battle.

However, the group of ghosts in front of them did not attack as before, but just sat on the ground from afar and meditated and chatted.

Dozens of guns had already put on the fuse, holding their guns with bated breath, and looked at Shangshu one after another.

Zhang Shiche was also a little puzzled, and grabbed a sergeant with better strength: "Take a closer look at the black-robed monk if he is the person from before." ”

The sergeant stood at the edge of the city, raised his hand and squinted: "The beard is a little too much." ”

Zhang Shiche paused for a moment and sent someone to shout for war.

A loud sergeant shouted from afar: "Xu Hai! You have the guts to say yes! Our army will go out of the city to fight! ”

A group of ghosts outside the city just laughed when they heard this, and they didn't mean to reply.

"Hmm...... That monk may not be Xu Hai. Zhang Shiche frowned and sighed, "This is to lure me over." ”

The adjutant general next to him exclaimed: "What should I do? Will the last go to the west of the city to support? ”

"No need, the forces we have invested on both sides are the same, and the ghosts and widows have to defend either side regardless of strength or weakness." Zhang Shiche then said, "I'll go by myself, you stay." (To be continued.) )
