Chapter 304: The Battle of Jinzhou I

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The artillery of the Ming army was fired uninterruptedly, the enemy soldiers under the city of the bomb turned on their backs, let out bursts of wails, dense siege towers, rushing cars, etc., slowly advancing towards Jinzhou City under the cover of artillery, however, although the number of artillery of the Ming army was not as good as their artillery, but the firepower was much stronger, a few cannons down, like a giant beast creeping forward siege tower, rushing cars, etc., have been lying on their nests, unable to play their role, Jinzhou City, Man Gui calmly commanded the Ming soldiers on the city to carry out an effective counterattack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the city of Jinzhou, bows and arrows, wood, grenades and even golden soup were constantly falling so that the attacking enemy could not make any progress, looking at the soldiers who were constantly being beaten from the city, and one of the enemy soldiers angrily said to a person beside him: "This kind of siege war in the east of yours will not work at all!" ”

"The defense of this Ming soldier is really strong! Although our artillery was numerically superior, it was suppressed by the Ming army in terms of firepower! Moreover, the Ming army had muskets and other firearms that were better than us, and our siege engines were scattered before they could get close! And besides, our soldiers don't have armor yet! It's like going to die! Another officer said helplessly.

"Blow the trumpet! Fall back! The first officer said.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! The horn of retreat sounded, and the enemy began to retreat rapidly, looking at the enemy who retreated like a tide, Man Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head and said: "Always pay attention to the enemy's actions, and the information says that this Tartar has begun to unite with this foreigner, let the court pay more attention!" Lin Baihu nodded after hearing this, and then left the city wall.

There is a faint smell of blood in the air, constantly surrounding and circling outside Jinzhou City, it seems unusually deep and terrifying, there is a touch of light in the enemy's military camp in the distance, obviously the enemy at this time obviously has no intention of fighting again tomorrow, and the nearby Jinzhou City is also brightly lit at this time, and the dense torches illuminate Jinzhou City brightly, I believe that as long as the enemy appears in the attack range of the Ming army at this time, it will be killed immediately into a blood mist outside the city.

"Ding! Bite! While! While! Suddenly, a sound of knocking on the ground sounded, which was particularly harsh in this silent night, listening to this jingling knocking sound, the Ming army guarding the city couldn't help but show a mocking smile, "Do you still want to come in through the tunnel?!" Even if you want to play the tunnel, don't make such a big move, right? I'm afraid we don't know? But ridicule is ridicule, the Ming army still quickly fed back such a situation to Man Gui, Man Gui listened to the information and frowned slightly, but still couldn't figure out the joints, so he just ordered the soldiers to pay attention to the enemy's situation, and arranged the preparation of the defensive tunnel war, just like that, the Ming army spent the night irritably in the sound of the enemy's clanging knocking.

The next day, the early morning mist had just dissipated, and the defenders of the Ming army looked a little tired outside the city, at this time they were surprised to find that there was an extra trench in the distance outside the city, which surrounded Jinzhou City and continued to extend, as if to surround Jinzhou City, the Ming soldiers couldn't help but be surprised, "There is such a digging method for digging tunnels?" This Westerner digging tunnels is so peculiar? But regardless of the reaction of the Ming army, on the other side, with the help of gunpowder, the trenches quickly extended.

"What do you say? The enemy dug a trench outside? Man Gui was stunned for a moment, then put the flag still on the sand table and followed out, looking at Man Gui in battle armor, obviously he didn't sleep all night.

"Full of soldiers! Look! The soldier pointed outside.

Man Gui looked outside Jinzhou City, only to see that the enemy army began to dig a trench around the castle along Jinzhou City outside the range of Jinzhou City's artillery, he could not measure the depth of the trench, but it was still very deep by visual inspection, and the excavated mound of earth was towards the side of the city, forming a breast wall. After starting from this basic trench, the enemy dug a trench in a zigzag shape in the direction of Jinzhou City, Man Gui turned his head and asked: "Some trenches are within the firing range, why don't you open fire?" ”

"Full of soldiers! Even if we shoot, we won't be able to do much damage to the soldiers inside! Pure waste of gunpowder! The artillery side has already reflected it! The soldier said helplessly.

Hearing this, Man Gui's brows couldn't help frowning tighter, although he didn't understand what the enemy was going to do, but from the current signs, it was already a bad sign, according to the development of the trench today, when digging close to the city wall, if the enemy had the same artillery as the city on the front line to bombard the city, and the Ming army's artillery could not carry out effective counterattack, then Jinzhou City would be dangerous.

However, before he could get along with the strategy, the roar of artillery and the neighing of war horses and the shouting of soldiers sounded outside the city again, and soon, Man Gui saw that the dry horse mountain platform outside Jinzhou City, as well as the surrounding sentry posts have ignited a beacon fire for help, looking at these, Man Gui couldn't help but be a little anxious, and suddenly wanted to order the troops to go out of the city to rescue, but the deputy general Zhang Cunren on the side hurriedly said: "General Man!" Can't go! The enemy is good at field warfare, and if we go out of the city, we will only get the enemy's will! ”

"Strengthen the city, order the soldiers and civilians in the city to be ready to fight at all times, and the food in the city begins to be centrally controlled! Unified distribution! We must hold out until Governor Yuan sends reinforcements! Man Gui ordered.

"The last general commands!" Zhang Cunren said.

"Liu Tianlu, you lead people to patrol the city all day, and once you find suspicious characters, you will arrest them, and the population of the whole city will be investigated, and there can be no suspicious people! In addition, the area south of the city has not yet been surrounded by the enemy, and sent people out to urgently harvest grain, and if it can't be harvested, it will be burned, and it must not be left to them! Man Gui continued.

"The last general commands!" Liu Tianlu hugged his fists.

"How long will the food in the city last?" Man Gui asked.

"Return to the General Army! If you save some food, you can eat for 15 days! Liu Tianlu responded.

Man Gui waved his hand, nodded, and said that he understood, and then the two went to do something, and then Man Gui summoned the guards around him and said: "The firearms depot is strictly guarded, if, I said if, if Jinzhou City can't hold it before the reinforcements come, let them blow up the firearms depot, understand?" ”

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left.

Orders were issued one by one, the war machine of Jinzhou City was fully opened, Man Gui looked outside Jinzhou City, at this time the red morning sun was rising, "Today's Ming Dynasty began to rise like the rising sun, one day Daming will be Zhongxing again, I Mangui will not add blockage to the road of Daming Zhongxing, this battle, vow to live and die with Jinzhou!" If you want to violate my Ming, you can't do it unless you step over my corpse! Thinking about it, Man Gui slashed at the head of Jinzhou City.
