Chapter Eighty-Eight: He Mansion

There are also a lot of artillery positions at the head of the city, especially in the direction of the east gate and the north gate, Han Xu turned around the city head, counted them slightly, and found that there were more than 100 guns for the general and the second general, and more than 300 guns for the Franc machine. However, this number of firearms, if the garrison is lawful, and the city of Shenyang, which is more than nine miles long, is very strong and steep, and the city walls are towering and towering, if the Donglu want to attack purely by force, I am afraid that 100,000 soldiers can only be trapped under the city and cannot enter, not to mention that the number of soldiers in the Dongyu is far from reaching 100,000.

There are four city gates in Shenyang, Dongning at the east gate, security at the south gate, Anding at the north gate, Yongchang at the west gate, Han Xu came in from the security gate, turned back after arriving at the north gate, and finally went down the city wall from near the south gate.

There are more than 60,000 people in the garrison in the city, and the main force is the family of the general soldier He Shixian and You Shigong, of which He Shixian's family has more than 1,000 people, and the number of You Shigong's family is less than 1,000 people, and the number of the two people together is less than a regular barracks, but the main force of more than 60,000 people is the family of more than 2,000 people.

When Han Xu went down to the city, he saw large and small groups of soldiers wandering around, no one wore armor, and rarely took weapons, and the identity was determined by the shabby and dirty fat jackets and big hats decorated with red tassels.

Seeing Han Xu passing by, these battalion soldiers were not too nervous, Han Xu was wearing ordinary cotton armor, although he rode a war horse, and there were also cavalry guards, but he thought that the official position would not be too high, at most it was a thousand generals or generals, there were more than 200 officers above the garrison in Shenyang City, and there were countless thousands of generals, and people would not take these low-grade military attaches seriously.

There were even some unruly battalion soldiers who deliberately passed by before beating their horses, and although they made the appearance of quickly giving way, they obviously showed that they did not take foreign generals seriously.

Han Xu has no intention of dealing with these battalion soldiers, the source of these soldiers is very complicated, nearly half of them are deserters after many previous battles with Houjin, and it is a bit mean to say that they are deserters. However, Han Xu didn't know how to describe it, these soldiers said that they were the embers of a hundred battles, after all, they escaped from the cruel battlefield, you must know that the Houjin cavalry is far more than the Ming Dynasty, and it is almost difficult for the Ming army to escape after each battle, and it is not easy to earn their lives.

But these valuable soldiers with actual combat experience were wasted, and Xiong Tingbi issued them armor and weapons. Strictly ordered the generals to train these soldiers, and at the same time strictly enforce military discipline, and ordered the generals to strictly control the army and not let the military discipline be lax, all of which was completely ruined after Xiong Tingbi was driven away, and Yuan Yingtai may be a good official. His character is also strict and resolute, but he knows nothing about military affairs, and he trusts and relies more on the generals of Liaozhen, and does not punish and restrain these generals.

Han Xu came to visit He Shixian this time, and he had a good relationship with He Shixian. Since the beginning of spring, the rumors of the Dongyu to invade have become louder and louder, and the versions of the rumors are strange, only one thing can be certain, the Dongyu built siege equipment in the upper reaches of the Hunhe River is indeed undoubted, planks, ladders, and shield vehicles. Every day, a lot of wood chips drift down from the river, many people feel that the war may be imminent, and as far as the intelligence collection work of the Ming army is concerned, what He Shixian and others did is to send additional sentry cavalry to patrol, which is what Han Xu knew more than ten days ago, and He Shixian did not send anyone after that, Han Xu decided to come in person. Observe Shenyang's precautions and inquire about the news.

One of the two goals had been achieved, but Han Xu was really disappointed in his heart.

He has been integrated into the Ming army, and he knows enough about the Ming army in this era, and He Shixian and other generals can actually do better if they are a little determined. In a fortified city like Shenyang, if the defenders are able to defend the law, it will be impossible for Jin's national strength and siege methods to defeat it in the future.

But Han Xu remembered very clearly in his heart that Shenyang and Liaoyang were both lost in this attack, Liaodong and Liaozhong and Liaonan were lost, and the Ming Dynasty lost another big blood, losing more than 100,000 troops.

The only thing he didn't remember was the specific time, and when the war started was also very important to Han Xu.

"Governor Han is here, a rare guest."

He Shixian's general army mansion was crowded in front of the crowd, Han Xu saw that many generals and personal soldiers came one after another, the clothes and armor were showing, much more glamorous than himself, He Shixian's disciples heard that he was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, but he was still very sorry and said: "It's a coincidence today, Lord Jingluo came from Liaoyang, entered the city yesterday, and went to the General Army's Mansion to see people today, Lord Han, please wait a while, Lord Jingluo will leave in a while, and the lord will definitely see the adult." ”

"Cheng, I'll wait at the gatehouse."

"How can that work?" Menzi bowed down and said, "Please wait in the small living room." ”

Since Xiong Tingbi was transferred, there are a lot of people in Liaozhen who want to deal with Han Xu, but there are also He Shixian and Chen Ce and other general soldiers and Han Xu are either brothers, or they are blue-eyed, although Liu Guojin and others have great energy, but it was Xiong Tingbi who was going to target Xiong Tingbi back then, not that Han Xu really entered their eyes, a martial artist with soldiers, there are hundreds of elites under his command, and they are all family members in the eyes of others, Han Xu's status is not high, but the strength at hand is not weak, on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the generals only depends on the number of family members, even if someone wants to play Han Xu's black hand, Looking at the number of his family's Ding cavalry, he can only smash his mouth, such a hard bone is not a few taels of meat, and it is very piercing, and it is boring to think about.

He Shixian is still very polite to Han Xu now, and he has not been affected by Xiong Tingbi's resignation, I am afraid it is also the benefit of Han Xu's elite policy.

"Aha, brother, you're here."

Han Xu sat for more than half an hour, there was a sound of bags and boots outside, and then He Shixian pushed the door in, still with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his red face was filled with a warm smile, He Shixian was taller than Han Xu, wearing a military attache robe from the first grade, his position was still the same as the governor, and he did not mention the governor, when Han Xu greeted him, He Shixian slapped Han Xu on the shoulder, and Han Xu stumbled with an iron-like slap, Han Xu smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's still the same as before." ”

"That's it." He Shixian was born in a family of military generals, and he has worked hard since he was a child, and he said proudly: "It's not that my brother is bragging, what kind of white armor is said to be an elite soldier, and I can deal with more than ten or twenty of them." ”

He Shixian's face was flushed, his mouth was full of wine, and Han Xu said helplessly: "Big brother has drunk too much again." ”

"What drank too much." He Shixian pulled Han Xu and said with a smile: "Just finished talking about business, Jinglu gave me face to drink two cups here, I sat down and just saluted for a round, the door said that you are here, I gave him a kick, his mother's brother came and said that it was so late, okay, there is no need to say more, my brother will go to the flower hall with me to drink."
