Seeing that there was an enemy situation, everyone immediately rushed to Dongcheng to check, and after observing for a while, Ziren asked with puzzlement: "You guys this time the wolf smoke looms, and there is no cannon sound, it seems that the Mongolian Tatar soldiers are far away from here, I don't know which tunbao was besieged by the enemy?" ”

Sun Shoujing touched his chin and said, "Judging from the location where the wolf smoke is lit, it should be the pier platform under the Puhe River in the east. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Ziren asked, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses are stationed here?" Is there a strong city to defend? ”

Feng Wensheng, a native of Shenyangwei, said: "Puhe is the city of Shenyang Zuoqianhu, and because of its critical location, there is a reserve office, and a reserve is assigned to guard it. The city was built in the second year of orthodoxy, the circumference of the city wall is three miles and one hundred and eighty steps, and there are two gates in the north and south. There is a moat that is one zhang deep and two zhang wide, and the city is one zhang seven high, which is considered a strong city. At this time, Feng Wensheng thought for a moment, and then said: "In terms of the defenders, there are a total of 22 side platforms and piers under the rule of Puhe, and there are more than 100 officers and soldiers guarding it. Together with the more than 700 men and horses in the city of Puhe, the total number of soldiers and horses is about 800. ”

Ziren was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said, "How much is the shortage in the garrison here?" Whether the generals defending the city dare to fight. ”

The military households of the forts in Liaodong Town fled seriously, and the guards of the forts were cowardly and fearful of the enemy, and everyone knew about it, but Ziren's question was so straightforward that Feng Wensheng was stunned for a while.

At this time, Jin Guan took over the conversation: "Puhe's reserve is Cao Xiyuan's younger brother Cao Xixuan, and the two brothers regard wealth as their fate to take advantage of their rule, and more than half of the military households in the fort have escaped, and most of the rest are tired and unable to fight, and it is estimated that more than 50 famous people under his command can get it." ”

"Bastard thing!" After Ziren cursed, thinking that although the Cao family was hateful, the soldiers and civilians of Puhe were all ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, looked at Sun Shouli and Sun Shoujing, and asked: "There is Sun Sange in command in this battle, and it just so happens that Sun Erge is also here, both of them are fierce generals on the battlefield, I don't know what to do." ”

Ziren didn't say anything, Sun Shoujing almost forgot that he was the main general, touched his beard and said: "The Tartar retreated too suddenly, in order to prevent fraud, it is better to send a sentry to find out the movement of the Tartar first, and then decide whether to defend or help, I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”

Plan and then act, what Sun Shoujing said coincides with Ziren. After everyone discussed, the Sun brothers selected twenty people who were familiar with the surrounding terrain and went to investigate the enemy's situation. The Mongol Tatars were outnumbered, and they were not sure of winning the battle on the ground, so they sent a sentry to report to Sun Shoulian in Shenyang, asking him to urge Hao Jie to come to the aid as soon as possible.

At this time, the imperial Cao Xixuan prepared by Puhe was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. A few days ago, Sun Shoulian summoned the generals to clear the wilderness, but the surnamed Cao saw that the target of the Tartar attack was the area of Pingyu Fort, so he did not think so. In addition, no less than thirty percent of the military camps around Puhe were pocketed by him, and he refused to carry out the general order without taking precautions, and the people and horses on the side platforms and piers everywhere did not withdraw in time.

As a result, the Mongol army suddenly arrived, and in just one hour, many piers were breached, and the soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that something was wrong, Cao Xixuan hurriedly ordered the defenders who had not yet been besieged to withdraw to Puhesuo. Who knew that as soon as the defenders of the piers retreated into the city, the Mongol Tartars killed them and surrounded the Puhe River tightly. Looking at the crowded Mongolian army outside the city, Cao Xixuan suddenly fell into a panic.

Fortunately, the thousands of households in Puhe, 'Han Yuanshan', stood up in time and organized the soldiers and military remnants in the fort, with a total of more than 800 young and strong people, and distributed blades and armor. With Cao Xixuan, they each led half of the men and horses and stationed them at the north and south gates. And the 'Ordnance Bureau' in the Puhe Station, all the guns and cannons hidden in the city were carried to the city, ready to wait for reinforcements by defending the city.

The soldiers and civilians in the city knew that the city would be a catastrophe after it was broken, and they immediately began to prepare for war after having the backbone. Cao Xixuan also came to his senses, knowing that the generals who had lost the territory of the Ming Dynasty were not merciful, so he had to lead his family to the city hard, and sent his henchmen to fight out of the siege to ask his brother for help.

Brain Mao, Changang, and Bai Hongda have endured all the hardships under Pingyu Fort in the past few days, and they have gained a lot from attacking the city and breaking the fort along the way, and the morale of their subordinates has recovered a lot. Seeing the Ming people going out of the city to ask for help, Bai Hong was murderous, raised his mace and said loudly: "Everyone, look at how I killed this group of Ming dogs!" ”

At this time, he saw that the brain hair smiled slightly, and said quietly: "When Anda kills Ming Dog, you must leave a few living mouths, and let them go to move the rescue soldiers." The surrounding terrain is flat, so it is convenient to give full play to the strength of my steppe warriors, and the Ming people are not afraid of death, just let them come. At this time, Brain Mao turned around, looked at the side and said, "Gongtu, is there a reward for the sentry you sent?" ”

"Brother's words." In order to let Chang Ang and Bai Hongda hear clearly, Gong Tu deliberately raised his voice a few points, and said: "The Ming people in Pingyu Fort have not moved yet, but as long as they dare to go out of the city to rescue, they will definitely not return!" ”

"Hahaha......"

After that, the two big brothers laughed loudly, Chang Ang and Bai Honghui echoed together, and the haze that had been repeatedly attacked for many days disappeared in an instant.

At this time, in Pingyu Fort, after not taking out of the city at night, Ziren thought that whether it was defending or reinforcing the army, the whole army battle was right after all. He ordered the whole army to count firearms, gunpowder, and arrows, and at the same time sharpen their blades and repair their armor, and be ready for battle.

After some counting, it was found that there were about 70% of the gunpowder and projectiles left in the battalion, and it should not be a problem to support them for a few days. At that time, a lot of 10,000 enemies were consumed to defend the city, and 50 pieces were given to each of the Golden Crown, Sun Shoujing, and Feng Wensheng, and there were less than 100 left.

Ziren took precautions, asked Feng Wensheng to transfer some clay pots over, and instructed the craftsmen to fill them with gunpowder and iron thistle and seal them, and more than 100 pieces were made in more than half an hour. Although the safety and power of this pottery is not as good as that of iron, it is easy to manufacture.

Ma Dayan's use of the arm shield to save his life inspired Ziren. In order to be able to lead the rescued craftsmen, he temporarily created a batch of arm shields with a diameter of one inch. Distributed to soldiers other than rattan players, they were tied to their left arms with leather ropes in the hope of reducing some casualties.

In order to prepare for the reinforcements, the flat ground and the Mongol Tatars clashed, and the wheelbarrow chariot came in handy, and Lei Tiedan's chariot flag was only eight which was very insufficient. Ziren ordered Ding Shoutie to nail two tiger plates in front of the wheelbarrow used to transport grain with the army, and more than 20 vehicles were transformed. When you are about to fight, you can directly open the 'Tiger's Mouth' and ignite the rocket hidden in the Tiger's Mouth to kill the enemy.

After the preparations were made, it was already close to Shen, and he saw that the night that had been sent out to inspect did not come back for a long time.

Sun Shoujing was anxious, and was about to send another team of men and horses to patrol the sentry, when the men and horses sent earlier finally returned. Only thirteen of the twenty people who did not receive it at night returned, and all of them were wounded. In addition, there were two people who looked at Mian Sheng, and after asking, they learned that it was Cao Xixuan who sent him to ask for help, and he was rescued by Ye Bushu.

I saw that these two people were covered in blood, and there were Tartar arrows hanging on their bodies, and after dismounting, they all knelt on the ground, crying: "Generals, please show mercy and save Puhesuo!" ”
