683【First Arrival】
"Ye He and Huifa have too many casualties yesterday, and they are reluctant to attack the city today." Wang Yaochen said.
Wang Tingchen turned his head to look at the back camp and asked with a smile: "You said that if you expel the Tartar civilians and consume them under the city, what kind of punishment will we carry?" “
Wang Yaochen was stunned: "You and I will both be dismissed, and this battle will no longer be judged." I am afraid that it will take a year and a half before the official can be reinstated and he can continue to lead the troops. If you're unlucky, you'll have to be demoted. “
"Let's do it!"
Wang Tingchen rubbed his hands and said: "The Tartar garrison materials have not been consumed yet, and Ye He and Huifa can't support the casualties. At this time, the strong attack is to let the soldiers die. We are all still young, and in the future, there will be wars, even if we cut the knight, we can be promoted back! “
"This ...... It's not good. "After all, Wang Yaochen is the chief mission officer of the cavalry division.
Wang Tingchen said: "If you don't want to, forget it, I'll carry it alone." Let's just say that you have tried hard, but I forcibly want to violate military regulations. “
"It's not a question of who carries it," Wang Yaochen said, "The Datong Army is strictly disciplined, and the military regulations are clearly written, and it is not possible to force the people to fight, even the people of the enemy country." “
Wang Tingchen sneered: "I am a former border general, and I have been fighting with the Tartars for several years, how many disasters have I seen the Tartars do, which Tartar has not had the blood of the Han people on his hands?" This is the territory of the Huifa Ministry, but now it is cultivated by the Tartar people. Where did they come from? It was brought by the Manda Sea,
The land they planted was snatched from the people of the Huifa tribe. Do you think they are civilians, and when they killed the Han people and the people of the Huifa Division, how could they ever feel pitiful for those people? ”
Wang Yaochen was still hesitating, but he was tempted.
Wang Tingchen also said: "When the Datong army first gained a foothold in Liaodong, it also killed Tartars when they saw them, so they didn't care what civilians were or not. Kill the Tartar civilians,
What's the difference between fighting and expelling Tartar civilians? “
Wang Yaochen said: "That's different. When you first gain a foothold in Liaodong, you must kill the Tartars when you see them, this is consuming the population of the Tartars, otherwise our army will not be able to gain a foothold in Liaodong. Now the court has said that in order to break the morale of the Tartars, the Tartar civilians cannot be killed indiscriminately. “
"Although the Tartar captives in the rear camp are all civilians, did they resist when our army killed them?" Wang Tingchen asked.
Wang Yaochen nodded: "Resisted." “
Wang Tingchen also said: "If it weren't for the cavalry division coming and going like the wind and letting these Tartar civilians flee back to the city, would they become the enemies defending the city?" The closer you get here, the fewer Tartar civilians there are, why is that? Because the young man was called into battle. If we had come later, would these Tartar civilians farther north also be called up to fight? “
"Definitely." Wang Yaochen said.
"That's right, these are not civilians, they are Tartars! We're not driving civilians to fight, we're driving prisoners of war to fight,"
Wang Tingchen said with a smile, "Moreover, our army does not have much food and herbs, how can there be food for these prisoners to eat and drink?" ”
Wang Tingchen is really not a strong word, and today's Eight Banners Army has degenerated into a combination of soldiers and peasants, and it is impossible to distinguish the difference between soldiers and civilians.
Let these Tartar civilians take up arms, and they will be transformed into Tartar soldiers.
Wang Yaochen thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I agree, but I will report it truthfully." How the court punishes, we will receive it together when the time comes. “
"Good brother!" Wang Tingchen laughed happily.
These prisoners of war, or Tartar civilians, were taken from the villages in the north, and by the way they were robbed of food for supplies. The number of men and women combined is less than 3,000, but adult men account for more than a third.
According to the idea of the royal courtiers, the old and weak women and children were all driven out to fight. But he was stopped by Wang Yaochen and only allowed to drive away adult men.
"Listen, you Tartars, I don't know how much blood you have on your hands," Wang Tingchen personally went to the prisoner of war camp, "Now give you a chance to make meritorious atonements, follow our army to attack the city together, not only will you be spared your lives after the war, but you can also settle down and divide the fields!" ”
The weapons were quickly distributed, each with a wooden stick in his hand.
If you don't fight, you have to fight, and there are knives and guns pointing at you. The Datong soldiers had no sympathy for this, and they wanted to kill all these prisoners, because they already had a deep blood feud with each other.
on the city walls.
What is that? Dolji wondered.
Leng Saiyi used the clairvoyant mirror to observe for a moment, and then said angrily: "That's our clansman!" “
The siege soon began, and the servant armies of the Yehe and Huifa divisions reluctantly regained their charge. Datong sergeants and soldiers, there were also a small number of formations to set off. These are all feint attack troops, and the main thing is to let the cannon fodder go to death, but the feint attack can turn into a real fight at any time.
"Kill!"
Outside the two city walls, there was a shocking shout of killing, mainly the Datong soldiers.
The young man of the Tartar held a wooden stick and carried a simple wooden ladder, and walked forward with fear. There were also a few who wanted to turn around and escape, but were executed on the spot by the Datong army who was responsible for pressing the formation.
"Remember, if you make meritorious atonement for your sins, you will be forgiven of your sins by storming the city!"
More than a thousand Tartars were young and strong, and they rushed forward with their heads bored.
Gao Li asked: "Beizi, do you want to let these clansmen climb up, they are forced to attack the city, and they will definitely defect after they go up the city wall." “
Leng Saiyi asked rhetorically: "How do you know that there is no Southern Barbarian hidden inside?" Even if there is no Southern Barbarian Son hidden, after these people panic and enter the city, they disrupt the deployment of the city defense, what should the Southern Barbarian take the opportunity to attack the city? “
Goryeo was speechless.
"Shoot the arrows!" Leng Saiyi ordered.
The Eight Banners defending the city could only shoot arrows at their people. A burst of rain came, and the tartars who were running in front of them turned around in fright and fled back.
"Bang bang bang!"
The cavalry division, equipped with a small number of dragoons, immediately fired at the rout. In fact, the angle is slightly upward, and I don't want to kill them.
Just forced them to re-siege the city.
With arrows in front of them and bullets behind them, these tartars were young and strong, forced to run back and forth, like swarms of headless flies.
It was not a matter left and right, and finally someone carried the ladder and continued to rush. After taking the city, they still have a chance to live, and they will continue to spend so much.
Sooner or later, they all died under the walls.
"Golden juice!"
"Rolling logs!"
The hot oil had been exhausted, and at this moment the golden juice and rolling wood were thrown, and the besieging Tartars were once again crushed.
On the other side, Wang Fuchen led his troops to be caught among the Yehe soldiers and also started the first round of feints. Their weapons and equipment were significantly better, so Leng Saiyi mobilized elites to focus on defending this section of the wall, and the number of bows and arrows was significantly higher.
In one morning, hundreds of people died, and no progress was made in the siege.
The afternoon continued, still the same, and the battle situation did not change at all.
That night, cannon fire rang out outside the city, and many torches were lit.
Leng Saiyi successfully held on for two days, and his confidence was much fuller, and he sneered: "It's a tired tactic again, when I haven't read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Take turns to guard the city, the soldiers in the city are always on guard, and the soldiers in the city are sleeping! "
For two consecutive nights, the Datong army was making trouble outside the city, nothing more than to make the defenders unable to rest.
Although Leng Saiyi let the soldiers take turns to defend the city, where can they sleep in the city?
The houses in the castle are still being demolished, and the logs can be used as rolling logs, door panels, etc., to boil gold juice.
The fire did not dare to stop for a moment, because the feint attack could turn into a real attack at any time. The dung water had been boiling in the pot, and the stench was stinking near the walls, and the Tartar defenders had been smoked so that they had temporarily lost their sense of smell.
"These pots of golden juice are almost dry, bring some more!"
"Nope."
"If you don't have it, you will take someone to pee and, and pull me into the pot!"
Manure is a kind of agricultural fertilizer, which is usually packed in barrels, and some people transport it outside the city to sell, and it is impossible to have much stock in the city. For two days in a row, the manure water has been boiled, and even if you don't pour it down, it will dry up after a long time.
"Kill!"
The Tiger Squat Cannon suddenly stopped firing, and the Datong Army shouted and charged, each carrying several torches instead of weapons in their hands. The rest of the cadres feinted to attack, creating a formation of thousands of people attacking at night.
"The Southern Barbarians are attacking the city, come and defend it!"
The Tartar defenders were frightened and fired arrows in the direction of the torches. The Eight Banners Army, which was resting in the city, were also called up one after another, stopping to rest and ready to support the city wall at any time.
The Datong army, which was in charge of the feint, barely got into the range of the bow and arrows and retreated.
This situation became the norm, and it was almost every half an hour, which exhausted the Tartar defenders.
If it is a serious city wall, they will definitely not be afraid. However, the walls here are too low to climb up if you are not careful, so you must always be vigilant.
Gradually, the defenders stopped firing arrows, and they had to save their arrows, as well as their own arm strength. Otherwise, a few more rounds of feints,
They were so tired that they couldn't even pull their arrows away.
The Tartars took turns defending the city, and the Datong army took turns feints, and neither side could sleep, and they did so until dawn.
"Hah!"
A group of defenders yawned and left the walls, allowing friendly troops to come and change their guards.
The Tartar, who changed his guard, was also yawning. They didn't sleep well in the city, they were napping against the city wall one by one, and as soon as they closed their eyes, they were woken up in a daze.
Moreover, they didn't sleep much the night before, and the Datong army fired artillery every once in a while.
stayed up for two nights, and there were still two days to defend the city, and this special iron couldn't bear it. There were already some Tartar defenders, so sleepy that they couldn't wake up with the shouting and killing, so they leaned against the wall and fell asleep directly.
The gold juice is not boiled much, mainly because there are not so many raw materials, and it will be boiled and dried soon.
The sky is starting to turn white, and I can already see things up close.
Wang Fuchen yawned and walked forward, he had slept all night. A thousand warriors were singled out to attack the city at dawn, and these people didn't care about anything last night, and rested in the camp in peace.
Wang Fuchen led 500 warriors and attacked from the northwest.
Lu Rui led 500 warriors and attacked from the west. Fun Cabinet
These thousand people, all cavalry, dressed in armor, usually rode in close combat, and now dismounted and ran to attack the city.
"Kill!"
Far away, friendly troops began to shout.
The sky will be dark, and the visual distance will be only a few meters away. The Datong army did not fire torches, and the defenders could not observe the situation, but they quickly organized a defense.
It's just that the Tartars defending the city don't pay much attention, and they are used to the Datong army engaging in feints.
The archers didn't bother to take their arrows, they just stood behind the stacks of arrows and waited.
The friendly forces were still shouting in the back, but the brave men who really attacked, all trotted forward in silence, quickly approaching the walls in the dim sky.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
It was not until more than ten meters outside the city that the defenders faintly spotted them, and then let out a panicked shout.
The Tartar archers, busy with their arrows and bows, had no gold juice at all, and only some rolling logs were lifted.
A thousand warriors who ascended first only brought more than a dozen ladders.
By the time they approached the wall under a rain of arrows, more than twenty had already been shot down. Several people use a wooden pole to push a person in front of them to accelerate the charge, and the combination of the wooden pole and the waist is a groove design of the type.
"Rolling logs!"
Many rolling logs were carried and smashed down, and more than a dozen Datong troops were hit on the spot.
Arrows were still being fired, and Datong soldiers were shot dead one after another.
After Wang Fuchen approached the city wall, he ran up the city wall with the help of the thrust of the wooden pole. The walls are not straight, they have a certain slope, and there are wooden poles behind them, so it is easy to run up.
Who made the walls here less than three meters?
"Your mother..."
When Wang Fuchen was about to climb the city wall, there happened to be rolling logs there. Although he was not smashed, the very edge of the rolling log grazed his arm, and he lost his balance and fell down in an instant.
Lu Rui, who was on another section of the city wall, also fell, but he was stabbed by a spear, but fortunately he was protected by armor.
At that time, Lu Rui's subordinate, a battalion commander named Han Shouxin, successfully rushed to the city wall.
In an instant, there were three spears, stabbing towards Han Shouxin.
This person relied on his armor to carry hard, wielding a waist knife and slashing hard, using his life to buy time for the following allies.
"Kill!"
Farther away from the city wall, there was a shocking shout of killing, and countless Datong troops entered the defenders' field of vision, this time it was really the whole army attacking the city.
