Chapter 541: The Lord of the World

Not to Wang Bo's surprise, in the next two attacks, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji carried out a very cruel artillery fire covering the enemy and our soldiers on the battlefield of the battle.

Two offenses. Although the Houjin army paid a direct loss of three or four thousand people, and there were five or six heavy artillery, they were destroyed by the counterattack artillery fire of the Tiger and Par Army.

However, in these two attacks, the Houjin army also gave the defenders of the city wall, causing the direct death of almost a thousand people. It can be said that if the battle continues like this, it will not take more than three days for Liaoyang City to be occupied by the Later Jin Emperor Taiji due to the lack of defenders.

The Tiger and Leopard Army stationed in Liaodong, once they lose the fortified city of Liaoyang, on the field battlefield, they will face several times, or even ten times the number of Houjin Iron Cavalry, and there must be only one way for them to be wiped out.

Liaoyang General Military Mansion, in the face of this sudden change, Wang Feng, the commander of the First Army, also showed an unprecedented solemnity on his face. Because, the battlefield is getting worse and worse, Liaoyang has reached a critical moment of life and death.

At this moment, Wang Bo's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but speak: "Commander, this is the situation. In the face of Huang Taiji's new style of play, we had no defense at all, and could only watch as the flowering bombs fell beside us, blowing up the soldiers to the ground in pieces. ”

"We must come up with a way to crack it, otherwise, Liaoyang City under our feet will not be able to hold on to the arrival of the handsome at all."

In the face of Wang Bo's eager questioning, Wang Feng's brows also wrinkled even deeper.

Turning his head to the group of staff officers around him, he asked rhetorically: "You are all staff officers personally selected by the marshal, and you should think about it carefully for the general." Is there a concrete solution to the problem? ”

disappointed Wang Feng. In front of Huang Taiji's poisonous plan. All the staff officers showed a helpless and solemn facial expression on their faces.

The atmosphere in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion slowly became solemn as these people's changing faces changed.

Just when the anxious expression on Wang Bo's face was about to be replaced by despair. A very faint, however, in the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion in a quiet place. and a very harsh voice suddenly reached Wang Feng's ears.

"Commander, I have a very risky idea, I don't know?"

Hearing this voice, Wang Feng subconsciously grabbed it as if he had found a life-saving straw in despair, and asked in search of the voice: "What way." As long as this crisis can be solved, no matter how risky it is, it is worth trying......"

Wang Bo, who is also the chief of staff of the First Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, followed and said: "The army commander is right...... If we don't try, we'll just have to wait here to die. But. If we can take a chance, at least state. There is hope...... Is there any way, just say ......"

Under the simultaneous gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, the staff officer who had just spoken could only reply stubbornly: "Commander, the idea of humility is that since the Houjin Emperor Taiji took advantage of the opportunity of our assembly of the city wall for battle, he fired flowering shells at us and weakened our strength. ”

"Then we will not follow the wishes of Emperor Taiji, and no longer assemble on the city wall, so that the flowering bombs launched by Houjin will lose their target and will not be able to kill us......"

After listening to this seemingly absurd idea, Wang Bo retorted without thinking about it.

"How is that possible? If we don't use the city wall and assemble on the city wall, how can we defend the city, how can we defend the city, how can we defend Liaoyang City under our feet......"

After Wang Bo finished speaking, most of the people in the hall raised objections and opposed this idea.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the army commander Wang Feng not only did not raise the slightest objection, but also showed a thoughtful expression on his solemn face.

Just when the lobby was becoming more and more lively because of this mention, Wang Feng suddenly spoke.

Shut up the general and let Staff Officer Li finish his words...... There will be one who is the opposite of you. Many times, what seems like a very absurd idea has a very big effect......"

"Staff Officer Li, you go on, tell me everything you think in your heart......"

"Yes, army commander ......" With Wang Feng's encouragement, Staff Officer Li continued to answer.

"Commander, the fact that we no longer assemble on the walls does not mean that we have abandoned the walls. Instead, choose another line of defense and hold on to Liaoyang City. ”

"And the line of defense that the lowly man said is not partial, and it is right under the city wall......"

Hearing this, if Wang Bo still didn't know what Staff Officer Li thought, then he, the commander of the First Division of Liaodong, would be a hundred people. His eyes lit up, and he asked rhetorically at Staff Officer Li.

"I see, your idea is to dig a hole in the city walls...... As long as we hide in the hole, the flowering bullets fired by Houjin can't help us...... Good way, this is really a good way? ”

However, as soon as Wang Bo's words were finished, another question came to Wang Bo's mind, making Wang Bo's brows, which had just relaxed, wrinkle again. Then, facing Staff Officer Li, he asked with a solemn face.

"Digging a hole does allow the soldiers to escape Houjin's shelling. However, inside the caves, the musketeers could not fight at all. Under such circumstances, the Houjin attack troops could not easily break into the city wall. ”

Staff Officer Li shook his head and replied: "General, the digging of holes mentioned by the lowly position does not mean that all the soldiers are hidden in the holes. The idea of humility was to dig a large hole along the city wall, at intervals of one zhang, where one person could hide. Then, send a bombardier, carrying enough grenades, to hide in the hole. In this way, regardless of whether the Houjin carried out artillery bombardment or not, these bombardiers could continuously throw grenades outside the city to prevent the Houjin attacking troops from approaching and climbing the city walls. ”

"As for our musketeers, they continue to hold the walls. However, as soon as these musketeers were hit by Houjin's artillery fire, they removed the walls and handed them over to the bombardiers, leaving the Houjin army to waste their precious flowering shells in vain. ”

"Of course, when the musketeers withdraw from the city walls, they must leave a certain number of musketeers behind to closely monitor the movements of the Houjin army outside the city. Prevent some of the Houjin troops, who dodged grenade attacks, and climb the city walls. ”

"In this way, the flowering shells fired by the Houjin army will still cause us casualties. However, these kills are definitely not worth mentioning compared to what they are now. ”

Hearing this, Wang Feng had already agreed with this idea from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, as soon as Staff Officer Li's words were finished, Wang Feng opened his mouth and ordered: "Staff Officer Li's thoughts are clear to everyone, and the general has decided to do so." ”

"It's getting dark, and at night, it's the perfect time for us to renovate the walls. Therefore, Ben decided to immediately transfer three thousand young men from the city, one person and one or two silver, to help us renovate the city wall, and all the renovations should be completed before dawn......"

The Haw Par Army was under the cover of night, preparing for the next day's battle.

It is about three miles away from Liaoyang City, in the military camp of the Houjin Army. It was a burst of laughter.

After a day of fighting, the Houjin army paid a heavy price of thousands of casualties. However, these dead soldiers were all Han Chinese who were regarded as slaves by the Tartars, and none of the Tartars felt heartache.

In addition, in one day of fighting, the Houjin army achieved unprecedented great results in eliminating more than 1,000 Liaoyang defenders. Huang Taiji, who was in a good mood, directly rewarded every soldier who followed him on the expedition with a leg of mutton, even the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan composed of Han people were no exception.

So, in the face of the sumptuous food and rewards, everyone forgot about the tragedy of the battlefield and enjoyed this moment of peace and security.

Compared with the laughter and laughter of the soldiers outside the tent, in the brightly lit tent of Huang Taiji, more than a dozen Houjin ministers who went out with Huang Taiji also did not forget to enjoy themselves.

Large pieces of lamb, large bowls of wine...... It was all eaten by these people.

Of course, among so many people, not all of them are unscrupulous about eating meat and drinking in large bowls. Fan Wencheng, who was born in Xiucai, as the first Han adviser under Huang Taiji, sat in the big tent without accident, tasting wine and meat.

Seeing the first Huang Taiji with a smile on his face, Fan Wencheng said with a flattering face: "Great Khan, your tactics are really powerful, the slave thinks that if this battle continues to be fought like this, it won't take three days, and Liaoyang City will become a Great Khan......"

"When the time comes, not only Liaoyang in front of us, but the entire Liaodong will become the land of my Houjin."

"Owning the entire land outside the Guan, coupled with the attack of the partial division on the Guannai, may bring back the great wealth that may be plundered from the Guannai. Great Khan, you can take the opportunity to be the emperor outside the pass, and have the same identity and status as Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, the Great Khan, you can enter the customs as an emperor, march into the Central Plains, and compete with the Ming court for the whole world. ”

"Here, the minions take a step ahead to congratulate the Great Khan, proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible, march into the Central Plains, and become the lord of the world."

In the face of compliments, especially the compliments of the Han Fan Wencheng to himself, the smile on Huang Taiji's face became even stronger.

However, as a generation of heroes, Huang Taiji did not get carried away. After suppressing the yearning and excitement in his heart as much as possible, he replied in a calm tone: "If there is really such a day, all of you who are doing it are the heroes of my Houjin and the heroes of my Emperor Taiji......"

"However, we still have a long way to go to really achieve this goal, military division, speaking of partial divisions, I want to know, how is the situation of partial divisions? The Ming Dynasty, have you found the preservation of our partial division? ”

Fan Wencheng hurriedly replied: "Back to the Great Khan, as far as the minions know, the Ming Dynasty has not yet discovered our biased master. Otherwise, the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty attacking Chaoyang would have retreated to the capital long ago. (To be continued......)
