Chapter 372: Entering the Kou
After Zhang Li entered the city, he suppressed the security of the city for three days, and captured some of the main Tartars and two Tartars scattered throughout the city, and then entered the guard hall of the Golden Acropolis.
At this moment, in the Imperial Guard Hall, Zhang Zhang and Gao Yuanliang were deliberating, and Yi Ze had already taken his Tuanshan Army to Lushunkou to take over the city defense, and Mu Tou was sent to Jinzhou Wei to various small cities and military tuns to suppress the place.
Zhang Li glanced at the tiger skins placed on the Taishi chair in the Imperial Guard's Hall, and suddenly felt a little displeased in his heart. This kind of thing Jiannu is tired of this, as if it is not so, it can't show their nature of "catching dragons in the sky and catching tigers in the ground", but as people who have traveled through the later generations, sitting on this kind of thing is simply like sitting on pins and needles.
"Remove all the tiger skins, and the Tuanshan army will not be allowed to do this kind of thing in the future." Zhang Zhang coldly ordered, and Gao Yuanliang immediately asked the guards to remove the tiger skins.
Zhang Li sat on the main seat of the Taishi chair, while Gao Yuanliang stood aside.
Soon, Zhang Zhang spoke: "Yuan Liang, when will the soldiers who are supplied from Ning Yuanzhongyou dock?" β
Gao Yuanliang hurriedly responded: "My lord, after we take the Lushun Pass, it will be a good port." The second batch of soldiers who came to supply was also 5,000, and it was estimated that they would arrive tomorrow. β
Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, in his own plan, the soldiers guarding southern Liaoning did not have to use the veterans of the first battle two days ago. After all, the Golden State Acropolis has Hongyi cannons in charge, and there is no need for those veterans.
The veterans, after this field battle with Jiannu, will definitely be reborn, and they have more important combat missions.
Zhang Li pondered for a moment, wondering who would be the best defender of the Golden State. Gao Yuanliang naturally couldn't move. Pan Ba Tianshu group mountain fort can't be moved, and the remaining thousands of totals. Mu and Chaolu obviously don't have the ability to defend one side, who should they use?
I thought about it for a long time. Zhang Zhang found that his subordinates were really lacking, and in the end, he could only circle Wanzhi to defend Jinzhou.
Zhang Zhang suddenly remembered Anzi, and couldn't help but sigh a little - I don't know how Anzi's plan to attract talents is going? That Li Dingguo is still a little young now, and he needs to take it with him to hone, and the third person he needs to win over in his plan is the most bullish person in defending the city in the late Ming Dynasty - there is no one.
Soon Zhang Zhang pulled his thoughts back and gave an order: "Wanzhi has been promoted to the garrison of Jinzhou, and this place will be left to him to defend." β
After Gao Yuanliang said yes, he asked again, "My lord." After completing the change of defense, shall we go back to Tuanshan Fort immediately? β
Zhang Zhang nodded and explained: "Jinzhou Wei can defend strictly, and now Jiannu does not have the troops to attack the city." At present, the focus of the war is still in Beijing! β
"Kyoshi?! - Gao Yuanliang exclaimed, and it took a long time to come back to his senses: "My lord, what do you mean, you want to go to King Qin?" β
Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, but did not answer.
β¦β¦
On the city wall of Zhangjiabao mouth of Xuanfu. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the three sides, looked at the black and oppressive Jiannu siege troops under the city, and he was really anxious.
On the city wall, the soldiers defending the city of the 3,000 Tianxiong army are waiting for the battle, and there are still 2,000 cavalry of the Tianxiong army in the city, which is also gearing up, ready to fight to the death with Jiannu.
However, Lu Xiangsheng also knows it. There are about 30,000 besieging troops under the city, although they are all two Tartars, but the field Tianxiong army can't take any advantage. can only rely on the city to hold on.
Lu Xiangsheng sighed heavily, after all these years of successive battles. The combat effectiveness of the two Tartar Han Eight Banners and the Meng Eight Banners is already much higher than that of the Ming army, not to mention the real people of the Tartar women.
Daming. Is this going to die?
When the word "death" appeared in Lu Xiangsheng's mind, he immediately deliberately changed his mind and asked his younger brother Lu Xiangjin beside him: "Xiangjin, how much grain and grass is there in the city?" β
Lu Xiangjin is the post of "Counselor in Military Affairs" and is in charge of the grain of the Tianxiong Army. He groaned slightly, and replied loudly: "Big brother, the grain and grass in our city can barely last for a month. The main thing is that the cavalry is too much to eat, alas......"
Lu Xiangjin bowed slightly, he knew that it was the only one month's grain in the city, and he begged his father to tell his grandmother to find the dead eunuch from the Xuan Eunuch Army.
Gao Qi allocated three months of grain and grass on the potential paperwork, but in fact only one month was issued, and then asked Lord Lu if he would draw a charge.
Lu Xiangsheng was forced to be helpless, and wrote his name on the handover document with no conscience, and the other two months of grain and grass were obviously fed to the dogs......
In the past, Lu Xiangsheng relied on his fierce achievements, but the people above didn't dare to embarrass him too much, and at most they were greedy for about thirty percent. Lu Xiangsheng also knew that Daming had accumulated disadvantages, so he was basically satisfied with being able to get seventy percent of the grain and grass. And this time, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army only got 30% of the grain and grass, completely subverting the previous "unspoken rules".
Of course, this is what everyone understands about grain and grass, and military salaries, and Lu Xiangsheng doesn't expect it at all.
The Tianxiong Army has 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and it stands to reason that the configuration of this cavalry is too "extravagant". However, Lu Xiangsheng insisted on not reducing the cavalry, if there were no cavalry, then the battle against Jiannu would never be able to win - because people can't beat the horses and run, you can only look at the dust!
"Big brother, the meaning of the Tartar is obvious, it is to trap us in Zhangjiabao City, and we can't leave an inch. You see, they don't siege the city, they just surround itβ"
Lu Xiangsheng bowed slightly, and sighed: "Is this my luck or the luck of the people in the city?" Anyway, it's not a blessing for the country! β
Yes, Lu Xiangsheng's prestige is far and wide, and the Tartar is afraid of him!
A full 32,000 Tartars surrounded the city of Zhangjiabao to the death, just because they were afraid that Lu Xiang would rise.
What "the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and it is invincible with 10,000", bullshit! In the second year of Chongzhen, when the Tartars entered the Kou, Lu Xiangsheng fought a few beautiful battles. Although it didn't defeat Jiannu, it was still famous. Now the Tartars have actually divided their troops to monitor, to ensure that Lu Xiangsheng is cowering in the city, so as not to destroy the good deeds of Jiannu's "looting"!
Actually, Lu Xiangsheng really can't get out! There were 30,000 enemy troops outside, several times larger than the Tianxiong army, and Lu Xiangsheng had no chance of winning in the field battle.
Lu Xiangjin looked at the anxious eldest brother and didn't know how to persuade him. After a long time, Lu Xiangjin finally spoke: "Big brother, what a living being! We can't protect all the people of Xuanfu, so let's protect the people of Zhangjiabao! If all the generals of the Ming Dynasty can hold the city, Jiannu will not be able to grab anything......"
"With them?" Lu Xiangsheng replied coldly, and then stopped talking.
Lu Xiangjin also understands that he doesn't even believe what he said just now, but what can he do now?
If the Tianxiong army recklessly goes out of the city to fight with an enemy six times their size, I am afraid that even the people of Zhangjiabao will not be able to protect it! (To be continued.) )
