Chapter Ninety-Six: Catching Turtles in the Midst of the Turtle

Hearing that the city gate suddenly opened, Bo Yan'er thought that it must be the person who delivered the letter yesterday, and killed the guard in the fort to open the door and sacrifice the city according to the agreement, and immediately gathered soldiers and horses to prepare to enter the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info as everyone knows, how embarrassed he is now when he killed the two people in the city, Xiao Lao Si.

It turned out that Ziren had long expected that Tong Dafang was likely to secretly communicate with Mengnu, and now more than half of the soldiers in the fort were killed and wounded. There are only about 20 people left in the family under his command, including the auxiliary soldiers, even if Li Dequan is allowed to lead the city at night, he will be able to defend it for another day at most. There was no news from the reinforcements, and they thought about it again and again and decided on a plan to catch the turtle in the middle of the war.

Overnight, he commanded the people in the fort to block all the streets and alleys on both sides of the avenue behind the city gate with horse rejection and door jam knife carts, and the doors and windows of the houses facing the street were all nailed with wooden planks, so that the Monnu could only move straight after entering the city.

Ordered Zhou Daqi and Ding Shoutie to lead fifteen family members to ambush under the city, and after listening to the order to open the city gate, they climbed up the city tower along the rope ladder. As soon as Ziren's bowl rang, he pushed down the grinding plates, stones and other stones that were carried to the city overnight, blocked the city gate, and cut off the enemy's retreat. Then throw the 10,000 enemies that were improvised and kill and injure the Mongol Tartars gathered outside the city gate. The city also has gold juice in case of emergency.

In order to completely annihilate the enemy troops lured into the city, Ziren set up four lines of defense behind the city gate:

The first line of defense was placed fifty steps behind the city gate, and only three bowls were placed, and Ziren personally led the Wang brothers and Tang Yaoshun to guard them, and quickly evacuated after setting off the bowls.

The second line of defense was placed seventy paces behind the city, and two tiger squat cannons were set up. Ding Youcai and Ding Bi took the rest of the family to guard, and waited for Ziren and his party to withdraw before opening artillery to bombard the enemy. Again, there is no need to hold on, and retreat directly after the cannon fires.

The third line of defense was set up a hundred paces behind the gate, and was guarded by five soldiers in the fort under the command of Lei and his son. After all the personnel of the first two lines of defense retreated, they immediately operated the Fran machine gun to kill the enemy. After the shots were exhausted, they all retreated to the fourth line of defense.

The fourth line of defense was set up ten steps behind the third line of defense, and Cui Desheng led twenty soldiers to hold it, and concentrated all the firearms in the fort here. After three rounds of shelling, before the Monu was defeated, they gathered the men and horses of the first three lines of defense and held this place to the death.

Inevitably injured by artillery fire, Li Dequan led his men to ambush behind the houses on both sides of the street at night. After three rounds of shelling, climb onto the roof and shoot the remnants of the enemy with arrows.

Han Shiyong took the old, weak, women and children in the fort, as well as the lightly and seriously wounded, to the granary, and the remaining soldiers and the lightly wounded were responsible for the defense. The only remaining medium-sized rockets in the fort, such as fire crossbow meteor arrows and fire dragon arrows, are also placed here. If all the defenders of the first four lines of defense were killed, they would set fire to the houses in the fort and burn the city to force the Monnu to retreat.

The first three lines of defense did not need to be defended, and they could only be hastily built due to the rush of time. In case everyone retreated and was shot by Monnu, all of them were equipped with rattan cards and iron armor, and an extra heart guard was added to the back.

In order to slow down the advance of the Mongol Tartars, the ground within fifty paces behind the city gate was sprinkled with water and left to freeze. After Ziren took everyone in the castle to get busy, the sky was already showing a trace of whiteness. Wu Duo gathered in the sky like an ant, and the sunlight through the clouds seemed to be soaked in blood, showing a faint dark red, and it seemed that a bloody battle was inevitable today.

Ziren then ordered someone to bring Tong Dafang's two cronies, his wife and children, and said with a serious face: "Attempting to murder Shangguan should have been a capital crime!" This official has the virtue of a good life, and he does not want to kill people in vain, so he will open the city and expel you from the fort and let you live. So saying, he ordered two inferior horses to be led and handed over to the two, and two ingots of silver were thrown as coils.

Outside the city was the Mongol army, and the two families were reluctant to go out of the city to die. It can be seen that the family behind Ziren has already raised his weapon, knowing that if he disobeys a little, his life will be guaranteed. Reluctantly, the movement out of the city after getting on the horse was slightly sluggish. At this time, Ding Shoutie and others had opened the city gate, and Ziren was worried that delaying would miss his big event, so he immediately ordered the dog to be released.

The wolf dog Huang Taiji is already strong compared to the native dogs in the fort, and relying on Ziren's power, he has long become the head of all dogs. Seeing the opportunity to behave, he immediately summoned a group of earth dogs and rushed forward, grinning and driving the two families out of Changning Fort.

At this time, Debuhu and Xiao Lao Si had already learned that the Ming people had opened the city gate, but they had been worried that the Ming army had an ambush and did not dare to act rashly. Seeing that someone was dragging his family and escaping from the city, several fires were lit on the city tower. The two of them dared to be sure that there was a change in the city, and in order to rob the property, they didn't have time to inform Bo Yan'er, and after leading their subordinates to kill Tong Dafang's two cronies, they rushed straight into the fort.

After entering the city, there was no trace of the garrison in the fort, and there were foreign objects on both sides of the road. However, in order to occupy the money and food in the city as soon as possible, these two reckless men did not care about leading their men and horses all the way forward.

The reason why Ziren dragged a wounded leg and personally led people to guard the first line of defense was to control the number of Mongol Tartars put into the fort. Otherwise, once the number of people is too large, it will be difficult to annihilate, and if there is too little, it will not hurt the opponent. Seeing that the enemy army had entered the city in number as many as 100 horsemen, he immediately lit the fire rope and led the people back without waiting for the sound of the gun.

As the sound of the gun sounded, the little old man knew that he was planning to lead the troops to withdraw, but the gate of Changning Fort was only about a zhang long. The soldiers and horses in the city wanted to get out of the city, and the Mongols outside the city were eager to enter the city to plunder, and the two sides did not want to let each other, and the city gate suddenly became crowded.

Before the two of them had time to regroup their soldiers and horses, several grinding discs with a diameter of about five feet fell from the city with the sound of the wind, and many Mongolian soldiers who were crowded at the gate of the city, even the men and horses were smashed into meat sauce on the spot. As the stones on the city continued to fall, most of the city gates were blocked.

As soon as the minions outside the city tried to move the boulder, they found several clay pots half-hanging above their heads. Before he could figure out what kind of trick the Ming people were playing, the clay pot exploded suddenly, and many sharp weapons such as iron nails, iron thistles, and stone crushed pieces flew out of it.

These are the 10,000 enemies that Ziren temporarily transformed with clay pots, specially tied with hemp rope, measured the size and fixed it in a place on the city tower. It was not prevented from shattering in advance, and the outside was also wrapped with straw cotton wool, which was thrown directly from the city after ignition, and there were almost no dead ends when the volley exploded. The Mongolian Tatars under the city couldn't reach it and were full of corpses for a while, and completely blocked the city gate.

Although the city gate was tightly blocked, the two of them still did not give up. hurriedly ordered the subordinates trapped in the city to stack ladders to climb the city, but before the ladder was built, the golden juice on the city was poured down, and the Tartar ghosts under the city cried wolf.

Seeing that the city tower was so tightly defended, the two knew that they could not break through, so they had no choice but to lead their troops to kill in the city, and they got into the pocket array that Ziren had already arranged.
