Now we can only hope that the city gates will be opened.

Nu'er Ha Chi ordered the cavalry not to act rashly, but to observe the city gates, and to rush into the city as soon as they saw that the city gates were open. Although Ningyuan City has a moat, it is winter now, the river is frozen, and Jiannu can rush to Ningyuan City without filling the river. Therefore, as long as the city gate is opened, the cavalry of Jiannu can rush in.

On Ningyuan City, Man Gui was also very unhappy, because the gunners were filled with solid bullets, and if they bloomed the shells, the casualties would be greater. He loudly rebuked the gunners for not loading the flowering shells.

Yuan Chonghuan looked shocked, he couldn't imagine that Man Gui actually ordered the gunner to fire first. This has hurt a lot of Jiannu, and the old thief will definitely attack the city desperately, can he carry it himself?

Hearing Man Gui's rebuke, Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand weakly and said, "Don't blame the gunner, the flowering cannonball was hidden by me, Jiannu is besieging the city with heavy troops this time, and he will definitely not stop if he doesn't break through the city." Siege warfare is a protracted war, and if you run out of flowering shells at the beginning, then what weapons to defend the city with later. So I put the flowering bombs in the arsenal and take them out in a few days. ”

Although Man Gui has been following Yuan Chonghuan for a long time, he is not his confidant. He didn't want to tell Sù Mangui about the whereabouts of the flowering cannonball, but thinking that it was difficult to hide it, he simply admitted it openly, and then made up a seemingly reasonable reason.

Man Gui suddenly realized. He didn't know that the real reason why Yuan Chonghuan hid the flowering cannonballs was not to keep Ning Yuan's defense in a long way, but to worry about killing and injuring too many Jiannu soldiers, provoking Nuer Ha Chi and making him frantically attack the city.

Zu Dashou is not on the city wall, he is searching for fine work in the city.

There are five places he focuses on monitoring, namely the four city gates and the arsenal.

During this time, he has been catching spies. But the previous effect was not very good, Jiannu did not come, and the fine work disappeared, and there was nowhere to be found. And Jiannu came, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants that were hidden in the corners all ran out, and they caught one by one.

In front of the arsenal. The two soldiers threw their spears aside, rubbing their hands together and stomping their feet, hoping to keep warm in this way. It's not that they don't want to make a bonfire to roast, it's that they don't dare, it can be filled with gunpowder, and accidentally lit it, that's no joke.

When the cold was unbearable, several people who looked like ordinary people came over with a large food box. Nodding his head, he said to them, "Master Jun, it's hard work." We are grateful that you have guarded the city and kept us safe, and we have no way of repaying it, so we have made you some hot food and hot wine to eat. ”

The soldier did not doubt him, and said, "Then bring it, we have today and no tomorrow." Maybe one day I'll die defending you. ”

The civilians placed the food boxes in front of the soldiers. Both soldiers drooled and scrambled to open the lid of the food box. But he was stunned to find that it was empty.

The soldiers knew that something was wrong, and they were about to open their mouths to shout, but someone behind them grabbed their roar with his arm, and this shout, they could no longer shout. Then, they felt a heartache. Someone stabbed him. They kicked their feet on the ground a few times and then never moved again. When the men saw that they were not moving, they knew that they had been killed, and threw the bodies on the ground.

These people are the Jiannu who are disguised as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they obviously do this often. After stabbing a soldier, he did not pull the knife out. Because if the knife is drawn, the blood will spurt out and flow to the ground, and it will flow more and more, and it will be finished. They were about to rush into the arsenal to wreak havoc, when they suddenly heard footsteps from far and near, and immediately hid in a corner.

The person who came was none other than Zu Dashou, who came to inspect the weapons depot.

Seeing the bodies of two Ming soldiers lying on the ground, he was shocked, this is the place where Ningyuan City's weapons are stored, once it is lost, Ningyuan City lacks ammunition, and it is difficult to hold it. He drew a single knife, led his own soldiers, and walked closer to the corpse.

I heard a "whew", and a steel knife slashed down on the head. Zu Dashou is strong in martial arts, although he has reached middle age, he is not slow to react, swinging a knife, and with a "dang" sound, sparks splash everywhere.

He was about to change his moves, but suddenly felt that his body was lighter and became much taller. He was wondering why he had suddenly grown so much taller, but there was a corpse with no head and a bloody neck, which looked very familiar, so whose corpse was it? This is the last question to ponder.

It turned out that Zu Dashou actually made two moves in a short period of time, one to block and the other to slash. It's okay for Jiannu to engage in conspiracy and trickery, how can martial arts be as strong as Zu Dashou, and he will lose his life with one move.

The other pro-soldiers also fought with the rest of the fine works, Zu Dashou looked at it, and the martial arts of the pro-soldiers were obviously much higher than the fine works, so he no longer paid attention to the battlefield. He took out the key to the arsenal from the corpse, opened the arsenal and looked at it, and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, and even said lucky, lucky, he didn't come in, otherwise a torch would be thrown in, and Ningyuan City would be finished.

There was nothing wrong with the arsenal, he closed the door and locked it. At this time, the soldiers had already hacked the remaining Jiannu to death.

Zu Dashou casually picked up the level of the fine work that he had cut off, but the level fell halfway through, and only a fake with a scalp was left on his hand. It turned out that the fine work was wearing a fake, and under the fake was a pig's tail like a braid. Zu Dashou is a little strange, when did the craftsmanship of the Jiannu craftsmen become so good, and they would make such a realistic fake. When he saw the hood in his hand, he couldn't help but throw the hood far away in fright. It turned out that the hood turned out to be a scalp peeled off the head of a living person!

There were four men in the attacking arsenal, all of whom wore human skin hoods on their heads.

Zu Dashou informed the guards to send ten men to guard the arsenal, and then asked his own soldiers to cut off the heads of the rest of the fine works and leave the arsenal in a slip. Why do you slip away? Because Jiannu likes to have money rat tails, their heads are very easy to carry.

The northwest and south gates of Ningyuan City were sealed, and even if Jiannu was allowed to dig carefully, they would not be able to dig up. Jiannu looked at the blocked city gate, wanting to cry without tears, it was too shameless, how could he do this? The city gate is a traffic exit and cannot be blocked at will. You're such a block, how can we let our own people in?

They don't believe in evil, thinking that the people of Ningyuan will definitely leave a way out for themselves, and there is a gate that must not be completely sealed. I searched for a long time. The four members of the slaves gathered at the east gate of Ningyuan City. Sure enough, although the gate was locked, there were no stones or sandbags to block it. Of course, the number of soldiers guarding this gate is also the largest. A rough estimate showed that there were more than a hundred people, while there were only sixteen Jiannu. It seems that it can only be outwitted, and it cannot be defeated.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Jin Qiliang, the guard of the east gate, saw these people sneakily probing their brains near the city gate and asked.

Jin Qiliang cared about his son who stayed on Juehua Island, and took the initiative to ask to guard the east gate so that he could keep abreast of the situation on Juehua Island at any time. As long as Jiannu dared to attack Juehua Island, he asked Yuan Chonghuan to send 10,000 soldiers from here to attack Jiannu's rear team.

The leader of the group is holding a food box in his hand. "We are the people of the city, and we have come to comfort the warriors who defend the city. ”

Jin Qiliang smiled slightly and said, "Take it back, this is what we should do." ”

Xizuo approached Jin Qiliang and said, "My lord, take a look, this is what we specially made for you." ”

He opened the food box, and Jin Qiliang looked down. The inside of the food box is empty. Suddenly, there was a cold dagger in his hand. On Kim Kyung's neck. He shouted, "I'm sorry, but here's what you were asked to eat." ”

This time, the rabbit fell, and before the soldiers could react, Jin Qiliang fell into the hands of Jiannu Xizuo.

Jin Qiliang was not afraid and shouted: "Leave me alone, take down the Jiannu spies." ”

Raise your right knee. slammed Jin Qiliang's ass and shouted angrily, "Shut up." ”

The skin of the buttocks was thick and thick, and he tried his best to give him a look, but it still didn't hurt too much, but Jin Qiliang's face was red with anger. He is a civil official. Who can beat the ass of a civil official except for his parents and the emperor? He also ignored the dagger around his neck, tilted his head back hard, knocked the fine work into a nosebleed, and then turned around, lowered his head, and made a heart-wrenching blow to the chest of the fine work, and hit the fine work "Oh" a few steps backwards, and sat on the ground with his ass.

Jin Qiliang's martial arts are low, and his meticulous work could have restrained him. But unexpectedly, a knee collision angered this weak civil official, so that he fought with himself regardless of his life, and he was surprised that he forgot to do it, and was attacked by Jin Qiliang twice.

Seeing that Jin Qiliang had to escape for his life, the soldiers were polite, and rushed forward to divide the corpses of the soldiers.

Zu Dashou inspected here and saw the soldiers carrying more than a dozen finely made heads in their hands. Yes, it's still carrying. Because this Jian Nu also wears a human skin hood, hiding the disgusting money rattail pigtail under the fake. After cutting off the rank of Jiannu, the careful soldiers saw that the heads of these people were different, and with a light mention, they faked peeling off, revealing the ugly truth below.

Asked about the situation, Zu Dashou was shocked again. Before Jiannu besieged the city, he had already arrested no less than 100 people who were suspected of being meticulous, and he didn't expect that after Jiannu besieged the city, there were so many spies jumping out. He strictly ordered his soldiers to strengthen patrols, and all those who were suspicious were arrested and sent to Ningyuan Prison, and after being separated, they were either killed or released; Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot.

After inspecting the city's defenses, he asked his soldiers to carry the spoils of war to the city tower to meet Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan saw that he came to see him with more than a dozen Jiannu heads, and couldn't help but praise: "General Zu is really a tiger general, and he can kill so many Jiannu in the city." ”

"Lord Yuan, hang out?"

"This ...... Will hanging out anger the old thief and let him attack the city regardless of everything? Although the old thief had no precedent for capturing the fortified city, the official was still a little skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. If Jiannu climbs the city wall, our troops may collapse immediately. ”

"Could it be that Lord Yuan thinks that if you don't hang up your head in detail, Jiannu won't desperately attack the city? I have an inside line on Jiannu's side, saying that Jiannu's food has been cut off, and now he is killing people for food. We have hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass here, they are not desperate now, when will they be desperate? ”

"Isn't there still a Juehua Island? There are 250,000 stones of grain and grass in it. ”

"That's right, it's to stop the idea of the old thief attacking the city. Do you think that Jiannu is now all dead, and they will definitely think that Ningyuan City will be difficult to capture, so that they will loot the surrounding area of Ningyuan City, looting and robbing, won't they just feel Huadao? ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Yuan Chonghuan's approval, so he asked the soldiers to hang up their heads. (To be continued!)
