Chapter 1359: Golden State Desperate Situation
"The Tartars are too strong, and the court is half-hearted, so they can't do anything, but they are holding on here, doing their best, not to mention that there is another Xuzhou now, this Ming Dynasty is really full of disasters, there is a Jianzhou in the north, and there is a Xuzhou in the middle, which can't hold on!"
"I think that the Xuzhou people's minds are not smaller than the Tartars, but they don't know the ferocity of the Tartars, the snipe and the clam fight, the fishermen profit, the Xuzhou people are making wind and rain for their own little thoughts, when the Ming Dynasty is over, they have to follow the end, and then see how they block the Tartars."
After all, the two of them are military generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they naturally will not have a good impression of Xuzhou.
"It seems that these 100 catties are going to stay in this Jinzhou City, I have heard people say that Jiangnan is good, there are no tartars in that place, there is no wind and snow, the scenery is beautiful, I always want to go to see it, I guess I can't see it."
After talking half of this, they heard hurried footsteps, the two stopped talking, only to see Kong Youde's footsteps running over hurriedly, compared to their bitter pleasures, Kong Youde's face was full of anger, and he saluted with his fists before and after, and hurriedly said: "Two generals, now there are people fleeing everywhere, please give the last general a sentry to inspect the city defense and arrest the deserters." “
Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan glanced at each other, they couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh, Chen Jisheng beckoned Kong Youde to come over, handed him a piece of dried fish that was grilled, and then said: "If it weren't for the fact that this Golden State couldn't leave, I still wanted you to go." “
Seeing that Kong Youde was about to speak, Chen Jisheng continued: "But you can't get out here, and everyone can only stay and fight with the Tartars, so that you are worthy of Mao Shuai, worthy of the villagers, if the others can escape, it is their creation, let them go!" “
Kong Youde's face was intertwined with excitement and anger, and he didn't know what to say in a daze, Chen Jisheng just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and Zhang Pan wanted to speak, but he looked up at the sky and said in a muffled voice: "It's foggy." ”
"It's good to fog up, at least everyone can sleep a little more tomorrow." Chen Jisheng said very easily.
I thought that the next battle to the death would be more tense and solemn, but I didn't expect the two generals to be so relaxed, Kong Youde looked left and right, the excitement and anger on his face gradually dissipated, and the inexplicable sadness came from his heart, covering his face and crying bitterly.
Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan didn't comfort them, they just looked at each other, sighed in unison, and sat opposite each other.
The sea fog gradually spread from west to east, and the inside and outside of Jinzhou City were shrouded in thick fog, and the light of day first appeared, making people realize that when the day dawned, they could no longer see anything five steps away.
Last night, many people fell asleep because of exhaustion, but everyone didn't sleep for too long, and they woke up immediately, and everyone was waiting for the sound of cannons outside the city in a daze, and many people understood that the final battle was coming.
From the fall of Liaozhen to the retreat to Jinzhou, and then Jinzhou gained and lost, lost and recovered and tossed a few times, before and after the bloody battle of life and death, really to the last step, everyone can also calmly relative, many people are the same as Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan last night, feeling the current situation over there, and feeling themselves.
However, many people couldn't sleep last night, together with the dense fog, Zhang Pan began to call the heads of each battalion to patrol and guard, and regularly use the code to give orders, this dense fog is of course a cover, but also a concealment, the defenders of Jinzhou have repeatedly taken advantage of the sea fog to sneak attack the Jianzhou Jurchens, and at this time they must also guard against the other party.
Fortunately, there was nothing to do all night, and when the light first appeared, Kong Youde even asked for battle, asking him to bring an elite sentry to attack the enemy's artillery array and destroy the enemy's two artillery pieces while the fog was thick, so that the battle situation could still be stalemate.
Zhang Pan rejected this proposal with a wry smile, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses on the opposite side are all old soldiers, calm and spicy, and the guards of the artillery array must be tight, and they must be cautious when this fog is thick, and even open their pockets on the side of the artillery array and wait, there is still no need to consume in vain.
In fact, yesterday's Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses cleaned up the battlefield, has shown their determination to fight hard, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan are very clear, if the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses really have to ignore the dead and wounded of the Zhenbaqi to attack the city, then Jinzhou City is difficult to hold, those two artillery pieces are not the decisive factor.
There is another point, at the moment, this dense fog is said to be a barrier, in fact, it is not an obstruction, it can obstruct the line of sight, but it can't stop the advance of the army, and it can't stop the bombardment of artillery shells
In addition to the defense and patrol, there are more people in the city looking west, hoping to see through the dense fog barrier, there are traces of the coming of the ships there, but unfortunately nothing can be seen, if the fleet can come, then the Golden State City has a little more hope, if the ship does not come, then everything is over.
It's a pity that the fog is so thick that you can't see anything clearly, but everyone is still staring, and even those who are not here look west from time to time, and that side is where hope lies.
Suddenly, a chill was felt on the faces of the defenders at the head of the city, and they immediately understood what was happening, the wind was blowing!
There is fog here in Golden State, and if there is no wind, the dense fog can often last all day, but if the sea breeze blows, even if it is a thick fog like the one now, it will blow away in an hour or two at most, and then it will be the last minute.
"Heaven is going to kill me!" More than one person thinks so, but no one says it, since staying in Liaodong to fight against the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses, there is almost no hope, everyone has been fighting in discouragement and despair, and now it is nothing more than the end.
The roar and drums of the transfer of troops began to sound in Jinzhou City, and similarly, through the dense fog, the Jianzhou Jurchen camp had also begun to move, and they were also gathering troops and lining up.
The wind is gradually strengthening, and the flow of fog can even be seen under the city, and the fog is fading little by little, and everyone's hearts are also tense.
"Don't fucking bastard, kill a few more Tartars today, and you'll be glorious down there!" Kong Youde said angrily.
Liu Xingzhi helped Liu Xingxian put on the armor, and muttered with a dark face: "I wanted to come to Bo to be a rich and wealthy girl, eat meat, drink wine and sleep with girls every day, who would have thought that I would give my life"
"Second brother, I'm going to fight anyway, what are you talking about?" Liu Xingxian said impatiently.
Liu Xingzhi's eyes were already red at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It was I who dragged my eldest brother and you to join the army, I regret it in my heart, these damn Tartars, if it weren't for them, we would all marry daughters-in-law now!" ”
Halfway through the words, there was a sudden loud bang outside the city, and the people who were observing the city hurriedly lay down and hid, and everyone in the city jumped in their hearts, and the Tartars actually opened fire.
The cannonball hit the city wall again, from the analysis of the cannonball landing point, the two cannons have not moved their positions yesterday, everyone hid in fear, but the artillery did not fire again, but the cheers in the Jianzhou Jurchen array could be heard, which made the morale of the soldiers in the city more and more low.
Some people even felt that because of the artillery fire, even the fog was about to be shaken away, and after a while, they realized that this was an illusion, which shows how shocking it has become.
I vaguely saw that the vanguard of the Jianzhou Jurchen had arrived at the city, and the defenders were just about to mobilize, but when they saw that the other party had shrunk back again, and they didn't know how to move, they were silent for a moment through the fog, and the artillery was fired again, and the city was shocked, but the landing point was towards the corner of the city wall.
On the battlefield, especially on this kind of battlefield where there is little room for manoeuvre, there are not so many tricks, and the intentions of both sides are easy to judge, it seems that the Jianzhou Jurchen is going to collapse the corner of the city wall, and then rush in there.
The current artillery bombardment can not be aimed, it will not have an effect, but it can make the artillery warm up, and continue to hit the morale of the army in the city, the correction of this artillery bombardment is to rely on the close observation of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers, and constantly adjust, and the dense fog is suitable for the concealment of both sides.
Although Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan had a clear judgment last night, they couldn't help but send a general death squad at this time to see if they could touch the opponent's artillery array through the fog, and then end the other party, but they didn't have a bottom in their hearts, so the elites under their hands, especially the heavily armored elites from Dongjiang Town, Phidao, were not sent.
The battlefield is very quiet, this general team climbed down the rope down the city, and then entered the fog, and then it was still quiet, when everyone calculated that they were about to reach the enemy formation, the shouting and killing sounds, the roars, all broke out, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan's expressions were calm, but the facial features were slightly twitching, everyone knows, this is the general team is all over, things are as they expected, after a while, the shouting of killing is low and quiet, a few people stumbled back to the city, but they haven't had time to go to the city, He was shot by the archers who chased him from behind.
The fog began to fade, the visual distance changed from ten steps to twenty steps, from twenty steps to forty steps, the speed of this process became faster and faster, and the outline of the Jianzhou Jurchen camp could already be faintly seen, the wind became a little stronger, and the cannon sound sounded again at this time!
The Jianzhou Jurchen's military formation has begun to move forward, they have an absolute advantage in strength, and they have to start from several places to launch an attack, and artillery bombardment is naturally the most convenient, but with artillery as cover and containment, other places in Jinzhou have also become weak points.
"Old and young masters of Jinzhou City, in our township, around us, in our family, how many people have died in the hands of the Tartars, today is the time for revenge, killing one is not a loss, killing two and killing three is to avenge others, we also have a face to see people below!" Zhang Pan held a spear and roared hoarsely.
The Jinzhou defenders who had lined up roared, and those elites wearing Xuzhou armor hit the breastplate with their arms, and when it sounded, Chen Jisheng held a Pu knife in his hand, and then roared and said: "The Tartars look down on us, saying that we are pigs and sheep, let's show them today, we are tigers!" ”
