Chapter 751: Siege
Zhou Yao squinted, looked in the direction of the north gate of Qingcheng, and said thoughtfully: "I'm not afraid that he will come out, I'm afraid that he won't come out." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The grassland in the evening is not as hot as the sun at noon, as hot as putting people on the grill to roast, the sun has almost become the form of a big fireball, looking at the city from where Zhou Yao and others are, they can only see that the city wall is densely packed with people, it seems that there are some firearms that have set up forts between the city walls, and everyone does not pay much attention to these firearms, these old firearms are estimated to have been obtained by Altan Khan back then, and they are probably much older than everyone present, at least they have a history of several decades, These old-fashioned things were also wiped and wiped by the Mongols, and they were solemnly moved to the city and enshrined as treasures.
No one answered Zhou Yao's words immediately, the officers all had their own positions, the military and political officer Nie Lei did not speak out on the war, and the military judge only asked about the war, only the regimental staff officer and a few young staff officers have been following the Chinese army, ready to pick up and fill in the gaps, but the things in front of them could not be simpler, either one or two, the Mongols could not come out, and the randomness was very strong.
Staff Officer Wang Qiang thought for a while, and gave a vague answer after half a sound: "It depends on whether Xi Lingse's heart is high, whether he lies down and is beaten, or he is dying and struggling." ”
Zhou Yao nodded lightly and said, "Command Duo'er to inform the two regiments at any time, and they are also ready to support the central battlefield in the south." ”
"It's okay to scare people." An officer said with a big grin: "Ask them to help us take care of the left and right wings, just in case we are attacked by the northern captives." Rush to sprint, break the front, it depends on our lancers. ”
This made all the officers agree, and even the military and political officer Nie Lei only glanced at the officer, and did not dissuade or reprimand.
It is not a day for the military to compete for the high and low, and the lancers think very highly of themselves, are the cavalrymen good men and women? As long as it does not affect each other's cooperation, it is not an exaggeration to say one or two arrogant words in private.
Zhou Yao ignored it and continued to observe the situation in the city with a telescope.
If the Mongols really had the heart, they should go out of the city at this time to fight. Cavalry is the best weapon to break the enemy's encirclement, but it needs to be collected and released, and the capital cannot be lost.
Just like the battle of Shenyang that year, the Ming army sat on a strong city, but in order not to make the enemy army smoothly encircled, the general soldier He Shixian still took the elite cavalry out of the city to invite the battle, but the general soldier He was brave and brave, and killed more than 20 Jianyu cavalry with his own hands, including the most elite white armor, it is conceivable how high the personal force of the general soldier He is. But as the main general of the city defender, he brought all the elites out to fight, and finally he was wrapped in dumplings and died outside the city, which led to the defeat of the soldiers and horses defending the city, and the generals had no owners, and they were opened by hidden spies under the chaos, and a fortified city that was extremely strong and cost a lot of money to build was easily taken down by the Jurchens.
If the Mongol nobles defending the city had experience, they should lead the elite cavalry to fight at this time, drive away the sentry cavalry of the merchant army that was too close, and the two armies would fight each other in advance, so as to put some pressure on the merchant army and prevent it from approaching the city too closely, and could not deploy the camp defense too close, so as to form a real encirclement posture on the city.
In ancient battles, there were certain rules for attacking or defending the city, and everyone had considerable experience, but unfortunately judging from the movement at the head of the city, the northern captives would not come out to die.
"Get ready to set up camp." Seeing that the sun had really turned from a ball of light into a big ball of fire, Zhou Yao's expression did not move, and there was no obvious disappointment, anyway, the siege battle was unlikely to be completed in one battle.
……
Zhang Han arrived before dark, and the Chinese soldiers who surrounded him were ready to light torches to illuminate it, but fortunately, the camp was in sight, and the camp was brightly lit, and people breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the right password, the camp door was wide open, and the generals welcomed Zhang Han into the camp.
There were still a considerable number of men in the camp, and the soldiers had to prepare a lot of things, and the hard work during the camp was done by many men who were temporarily recruited.
When Zhang Han entered the camp, the soldiers of the whole battalion were thunderous, and most of the people had seen him, but people were still very curious, and many people stared at Zhang Han.
The horse is a big green horse, and Zhang Han himself is also very tall and strong, but he does not have the high-spirited god-like demeanor of nine feet tall that people imagine.
It is easy for the people around Zhang Han to ignore his age, but the people who saw him for the first time were without exception surprised by Zhang Han's age, no matter what, he looked like a young man in his twenties, tall and strong, and above the others, there was nothing too surprising about it.
Only when Zhang Han looked left and right, if there was a divine light in his eyes, people would be a little respectful, and many people couldn't help but bow down.
People's admiration and awe of Zhang Han are from the heart, and even burned in their bones.
Except for him, no one dares to believe that the miracle in front of him can be done by others, the Ming Dynasty has 890,000 border troops on the nine sides, which border commander dares to pat his chest and say that he can go deep into the grassland, completely defeat the Beiyu, and take Qingcheng?
Just last year, the captives also went deep into Yansui Town, defeated Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Yansui at that time, and won three border cities, Du Wenhuan was disgraced, if it wasn't for the imperial court in Liaodong to defeat more miserably, I don't want to make branches in the west, I'm afraid that Du Zongbing will not be able to successfully move the town to Datong, and he has already been caught by the brocade guards sent by the imperial court to the Beijing division and sent to prison.
It is the tall and ordinary young man in front of him who has done such a great feat, and at this time he is wearing an ordinary gray robe, and he doesn't even have a logo, but the whole army is wearing Zhang Han like this, and this kind of ordinary has become the biggest unusual, and when Zhang Han officially entered the camp gate, the generals flocked over, and the people gradually dispersed, and there was still no lack of reverence in their eyes, although many people were rude and unliterate, but they also understood that they were in a huge historical scene, and they would make up dramas in the future. When I returned to the village, I could brag a few words with a group of idlers in the village, and when Mr. Zhang went down to Qingcheng, I was watching by his side!
"Tomorrow, three regiments and twenty-one brigades of baggage will come over." When Sun Yao saw Zhang Han, he immediately reported: "In this way, the whole army exceeds 60,000 people, including 80,000 people, compared with the northern captives who defend the city, it is estimated that there should be more than double the number of people." ”
Zhang Han didn't speak for a while, and with a little bit of sunset afterglow, he was looking at the city.
Qingcheng, Naturalized City, Dabansheng City, no matter what the name of this city is, it will eventually fall into the hands of He Yusheng. After years of hard work, this is the earliest fruit, and now it is finally ripe.
There are more challenges and more headaches to do, and the enemies will be stronger than one another, but this city in front of him represents the highest achievement of Altan Khan and his 400,000 subordinates, and it is also the pride of all the Mongols.
"The city is covered with green bricks, no wonder it is called Qingcheng."
Although he had been to this city many times before, Zhang Han seemed to see it for the first time, and looked at this city carefully.
The radius is not large, that is, the size of a small state or county seat in the mainland, but in the endless grassland where the four fields are grasslands, this city is undoubtedly a miracle, and it is also a symbol of the strength of the Tumut tribe at that time, because the entire city is built with blue bricks, and not far behind the city is the Daqing Mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, when the weather is fine, the blue city is hidden under the cyan mountains, and all around is the cyan grassland, so when the city is completed, the name of the city is also called Kuku and Tun by the Mongolians, that is" Qingcheng".
"That spire is the Silver Buddha Temple, right?"
Kong Minxing saw Qingcheng for the first time, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he pointed to a building with a golden roof exposed and asked everyone questions.
"It's the golden dome of the Silver Buddha Temple." Sun Jingting was injured on the grassland and lived in Qingcheng for nearly two months, and he was most familiar with the buildings in the city, so he replied first: "This temple is the most magnificent, and there are many Buddha statues enshrined. The temple often lives with living Buddhas giving lectures, and the nobles in the city line up to listen. ”
"Most of the Northern Prisoners believe in the Yellow Religion or the Red Religion." Kong Minxing sighed and said: "When Altan Khan repaired this city, he still threatened the safety of my Ming Jingshi many times, but now he is besieged by my army. ”
"It was just the afterglow of the sunset." Zhang Han smiled and said: "Even if Emperor Shun fled north in the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia will be finished, this is the general trend." After that, Dayan Khan, Altan Khan, is just a kind of inertia, if it is not for the Jiajing period of military equipment is not repaired, the dynasty is corrupted, Altan Khan has no chance to run rampant. ”
Zhang Han showed a contemplative look on his face, the so-called historical inertia is not only the relationship between two countries or nations, many things are done knowing that they cannot be done, under the general trend of history, there are many people who are mantis arms as cars, such as themselves, and now all this seems to be quite successful, but under the general trend is the decline of the Han people's armed forces, the decline of the spirit, and the decline of the centralized dynasty...... This is the general trend, the disadvantages of the centralized dynasty are very obvious in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and in the Qing Dynasty, it is a collection of various drawbacks.
Zhang Han turned his head and asked Zhao Shiwu, who was in charge of the Chinese army: "After setting up the camp, what are the difficulties?" ”
Zhang Han didn't think too much, maybe he didn't have too many philosophical factors in his cells, or maybe he was used to being like a businessman, seeing the general trend, calmly clothing, silently starting to do things one by one, running Liaodong, cloth in Phi Dao and Kuandian, as well as thirteen mountains, cloth in Taiwan, as far as Russia, his business empire has begun to take shape, the strength on the grassland is unshakable, no matter what the future is, first work hard to do one thing at a time.
