Chapter 33: The Siege of Puhesuo

Now that the slaves are powerful, they can only protect the city before the reinforcements arrive, Li Rumei and Sun Shoujing are no different from this, and they each lead a hundred horsemen to do it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The rest of the men and horses under the command of info Ziren continued to rush to the Puhe River, and explored the water situation along the road, and selected a place to build a bridge to cross the river. The three of them agreed to meet at a pier called Henan Dun in the south of the Puhe River.

Cao Xiyuan was furious from the bottom of his heart by Ziren's glance, and he followed the army with him, and saw Wang Mingjian and others patrolling not far away, which made him completely dispel the idea of escaping.

After Ziren and Li Rumei converged, the number of soldiers and horses increased to 2,000, and the previous battle had already allowed him to see the artillery battle across the river, and no matter how many Tartars could not help themselves. Li Rumei's 500 families are well-equipped and well-trained, and it is not a false rumor that the Li family has dominated Liaodong for many years, and even if a small group of Tartars crosses the river from the gentle water, Li Rumei can drive them down the river with a wave of impact. Thinking of this, he felt a little more confident in his heart, and commanded the soldiers to hurry up.

Compared with Sun Shoujing and Li Rumei, although the training time of the soldiers under Ziren is still short, the morale of the soldiers under the continuous battle is greatly shocked. When the soldiers who had seen blood marched, Zhou couldn't help but exude bursts of murderous aura, and he already faintly had the attitude of a strong army.

Looking from afar, I saw that under the guidance of holding high the sun and moon flag, a constantly dancing 'red dragon' rushed along the bank of the Pu River. Looking closely, it is the Changning Fort soldier wearing a fiery red robe.

Although Li Rumei and Sun Shoujing were not in the formation, the people in the army all had competitive thoughts, and their subordinates were not to be outdone when they saw this, and they accelerated their pace without Ziren's urging.

At this time, there was indeed a deathly silence in the city of Puhe.

When Da Brain and Bai Hongda went to intercept and kill Cao Xiyuan, Gong Tu and Chang Ang were not idle, on the one hand, they sent people who were good at shooting, rode horses and released arrows to suppress the city, and on the other hand, they repeated their old tricks and kept throwing dirt bags into the moat.

The moat of Puhesuo has fallen into disrepair, and a lot of debris has accumulated in the river. The bags of earth thrown by the Mongol Tartars gradually filled up part of the moat. Cao Xixuan was in a hurry and ordered an artillery bombardment, but the gunners of Puhe were negligent in training, and the arrows fired by the Tartars added to the panic in their hearts. The artillery bolts fired were not well targeted, and apart from the little gunpowder left in the city were consumed more quickly, but there were few results to be gained.

Han Yuanshan and Fan Nan saw that this move was futile, and opened their mouths to persuade: "General Cao, hurry up and cease the fire, the Tartars are deliberately consuming the projectiles I release, don't fall for their tricks." ”

Cao Xixuan reacted and hurriedly ordered a ceasefire. Lost the blockade of artillery fire, the speed of the Tartar refilling of the river continued to increase. In a short time, the moat under the city was completely filled.

Knowing that a vicious battle was inevitable, Fan Nan took the lead in mobilizing the squires and launching all the men between the ages of 16 and 50 in the station. More than 600 people were organized, one team for every fifty people, and 12 teams were formed to go to the city to help in the battle. Han Yuanshan also opened the reserve warehouse and distributed blades to the people, and in order to strengthen their combat power, they were mixed with the guards and village warriors, and they were led by the officers in the station.

Although all the people in Puhe have been soldiers, these people who have not gone through the battle formation, looking at the Mongolian Tatars who are eyeing the city, their legs and stomachs are constantly trembling, and their performance during the war can't help but make people a little worried.

At this time, there was a sudden noise and crying from the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city looked for the sound.

I saw several Mongolian Tatars riding and escorting dozens of Ming people over, as they got closer and closer. The soldiers and civilians in the city recognized these people, all of whom were ordinary people living in the nearby piers, most of them were old and young women and children, who must have been plundered by the Mongol Tatars after the pier was lost.

I saw that the Mongolian cavalry was full of pride, and while they wantonly whipped the people who were constantly wailing, they made strange screams at the city head from time to time, demonstrating to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Seeing this situation, many of the soldiers and civilians defending the city guessed the Tartars' intentions, and while beating their chests and scolding, they secretly prayed for God's blessing in their hearts.

Seeing the reaction of the Ming people in the city, a centurion who led his troops to drive away the people led his men to let out a contemptuous ridicule.

As the laughter stopped, the centurion gave an order, and his subordinate Tartars immediately waved their blades and stabbed their axes, and these unfortunate captured civilians died in vain in an instant.

Seeing the blood of his compatriots staining the land outside the city, the head of the city of Puhe suddenly fell silent, and then a Tartar who could speak Chinese slapped his horse and shouted with disdain: "The Ming people in the city have seen clearly, quickly open the city and hand over the grain, cattle, sheep and women, if you dare to say a word, this is your fate!" ”

Han Yuanshan was so angry that he looked at the dull-eyed Cao Xixuan and shouted: "General Cao, what are you waiting for, don't shoot the enemy to avenge the villagers who died in vain." After that, seeing the slightest intention of Cao Xixuan's order, he snatched the torch from the hand of one of the soldiers and lit it to the fire door of the Fran cannon.

"Boom!" A cannon rang out, accompanied by a whistling sound of cannonballs, and the surrender tartar was broken in two. The gunners in the city were greatly encouraged and followed closely behind to kill the enemy.

As if there were people who died in vain to help each other in the dark, the accuracy of this round of shelling was excellent, and more than ten Tartars were beaten by artillery arrows to flesh and blood, and paid the price for the heavy blood debt they had committed.

The rest of the Tartars saw the Ming people firing cannons, and hurriedly beat their horses and retreated. Fan Nan saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and shouted loudly: "Folks, once the Mongols break the city, our family members will definitely be poisoned by the enemy, it is better to fight with the Tartars to the end today, we would rather be broken for the jade than for the whole tile, and fight to the death with the Tartars!" ”

"Mr. Fan is right, I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, and fight with the Tartars!"

"Second uncle, you can go with confidence, I will avenge you!"

"Dog Tartar, grass your twenty-eight ancestors."

……

Inevitably the family was bullied by the enemy, and under the encouragement of Fan Nan, the soldiers and civilians in the city raised their swords in their hands and watched the city let out a hoarse roar.

Only Cao Xixuan muttered in his heart: "This group of fools has forced this group of fierce gods to have your good fruits to eat." ”

At this time, the two of them, Da Brain and Bai Hongda, led their troops back, and when they saw the Ming people shouting like this, they ordered to attack from all sides with the power of great victory. Thousands of Mongol Tatars swung their swords at the Pu River.

In order to reduce casualties during the siege, Gong Tu and Chang Ang divided their hands to remove many door panels from the surrounding piers and raised them in front of the battle when filling the river. Against the fierce cannons of the city, they rushed to the city frantically.

After the Tartars approached the city, before they could take the ladder to climb the city, a few huge trees that served as beams suddenly appeared at the head of the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city worked together, shouted loudly, and threw the giant tree in their hands into the city.

"Ahh Before the screams of the Tartars under the city had landed, the second team of soldiers and civilians with giant trees in their hands came one after another......
