Chapter 552 A Pleasant Siege
A siege is a test of an army's endurance.
Yang Chengying is implementing the policy of "loose on the outside and tight on the inside".
On the surface, Yang Chengying not only carried out a "rotation system", but also allowed the soldiers' families to come to visit.
Yang Chengying also asked people to set up a special tent on the Jade Buddha Mountain.
Every night, a married couple went to live there, guarded by eunuchs brought by Gao Qiqian outside.
Don't have a wife? Never mind!
Yang Chengying directly held a blind date on the mountain, and invited school-age young people and school-age women to go on a blind date.
If you look at it, the tent on the hill is the new house for them.
In this chaotic world, a soldier's income was forty taels of silver a year, plus food and clothing.
The treatment can be said to be very generous.
Moreover, the families of soldiers will also receive preferential treatment and join the soldiers' service.
There clothes were made, shoes and socks were made, pigs were fed, etc., and money was returned.
Therefore, every blind date meeting, many girls come to participate, looking for their favorite partners.
In order to set an example, Yang Chengying asked Shen Yirong to come to the front line.
And she swaggered on the mountain, looking at the snow and the moon with a telescope.
On the other hand, Yang Chengying stored a large amount of supplies and ammunition, ready to attack Anshan City at any time.
Or to face the Houjin army.
Whenever the blind date is successful, a group wedding is held in the barracks.
Everyone sang and danced to celebrate the couple.
At the head of the city, Abatai saw the joyful scene of the Liaodong Army and smashed the battlement of the city with his fist.
"Baylor, the Ming army is too deceitful!"
One of the generals said angrily: "The last general is willing to lead his troops out of the city, and he will be caught off guard by killing them." ”
"Don't be confused!" Abatai said in a deep voice, "Yang Chengying ostensibly indulges the soldiers, but there are also restrictions. The soldiers who watched on us did not relax for a moment. ”
"Lord Belle, if you continue to besiege like this, what will happen to the grain and grass?"
Another general worried.
When Huang Taiji left, he took a large amount of grain and grass with him.
Not much was left for Abatai.
This is not Huang Taiji's short-sightedness, but due to Amin's nonsense, which led to food supply problems.
There is always a quantity of grain looted from the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to eat it all.
In addition, there is another reason that everyone does not dare to think about.
That is, there is too much food left, and once Anshan City is captured, it will be returned to Yang Chengying.
Just like the last battle of Zunhua.
Abatai listened, sighed and said, "Tell the soldiers that the Ming army will not attack the city in a short time. Everyone, including me, eats twice a day and saves a little bit to eat. ”
"Yes." The generals also knew the difficulties of the commander, and bowed and retreated.
At this moment, Huang Taiji in Liaoyang City was also anxious.
He found that he still underestimated Yang Chengying.
The opponent's purpose is not only to fight a big battle, but also to form a forced landing of the Houjin army to set a precedent for the future.
Therefore, it is imperative to rescue Abatai in Anshan City.
As soon as he put forward this idea, it was opposed by many generals.
Among them, Mang Gurtai was the most intense: "Save? To put it lightly, another fierce battle like Baimiao Mountain? ”
"Mang Gultai!" Dai Shan felt that the fifth child's words were a bit heavy, and reminded him sharply.
"Second brother, don't stop me, I want to make it clear today."
Mang Gurtai did not restrain at all, but became even more angry.
Huang Taiji made a straight face and said, "Okay! If you have anything to say, speak now! ”
"The Han people have a saying that when things go wrong, there must be demons."
Mang Gurtai said: "Yang Manzi used to see our army hiding, and now he suddenly takes the initiative to attack, there must be something wrong with this, you, as the Great Khan, didn't even notice it?!" ”
"Mang Gurtai ......"
Dai Shan saw that Lao Wu blamed Huang Taiji for the defeat, and immediately reminded him again.
Remind him, but save him.
Why didn't Amin have it, didn't he have a little bit in his heart?
"You tell him to say, and I'll see what good things he can say."
Huang Taiji was also angry, and he spoke to Dai Shan, without even bringing the prefix of "second brother".
"What can I say?"
Mang Gurtai said: "Why don't you be on guard on the hill and let the enemy move the damned cannon to the mountain. ”
"Hehe, Sanbeylor, didn't you say that the cannon is useless?"
Huang Taiji Yin and Yang became angry, "What? After a small setback, I changed my mind? ”
"I ......" Mang Gurtai was speechless for a while, and waved his hand: "What we are talking about is not this, what we are saying is that you have no precautions at all." ”
"The truth is that we don't know about the kind of small cannon of the Ming army."
Huang Taiji said very seriously: "We are still arguing about whether to cast cannons, and people have tried their best to cast cannons. ”
When he said this, he thought of more than a dozen cannons on the mountain.
The range is long, lighter than the Hongyi cannon, and the fucking iron cannon.
"Even so, we shouldn't mess around and retreat."
Mang Gurtai continued to mess around.
Huang Taiji understood that Mang Gurtai was distressed by his loss.
Among the bannermen who died in battle, the blue flag of Mang Gurtai suffered the greatest loss.
"Old Five, what we should be talking about now is rescue, not the time to blame."
Seeing that Huang Taiji had a gloomy face and didn't speak, Dai Shan felt that if he didn't speak again as the eldest patriarch, he would cause a family conflict.
The relatives hurt the enemies quickly, it shouldn't be.
With Dai Shan's words, the other Baylors who watched the play spoke one after another, persuading Mang Gurtai to dissipate his anger and study the important things.
Huang Taiji also got off the donkey and said: "Actually, I already had a plan, but I was interrupted. ”
Dai Shan hurriedly faced Huang Taiji and asked respectfully: "The Great Khan is clever, I don't know what to do?" ”
The eyes of others also turned to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's anger in his heart subsided slightly, and he got up and said, "We can't be led by the nose anymore, we must seize the weakness of the opponent." ”
"Where is Yang Chengying's weakness?" Someone asked curiously.
"Yu Mingting."
Huang Taiji replied confidently: "He is in such a hurry to attack because he is afraid that we will attack Jizhen from the territory of the Mongols like last year.
It's too high and so high that it can't stop us. ”
"We've just suffered a setback now, our morale is not high, and we don't have the strength to attack Jizhen."
Dai Shan frowned.
"It's not an attack, it's a raid!"
Huang Taiji pointed to the map and said: "We sent a brigade to pretend to attack Xifengkou and other places. In fact, it was from the pastures of Lin Dan Khan to attack Xuanfu and Datong. ”
"Is this to force the Ming court to order Yang Chengying to withdraw his troops and rescue Jizhen, which is not actually in danger?
I also want to make Emperor Ming think that Yang Chengying's battle report is fake! ”
Dai Shan immediately understood Huang Taiji's true intentions.
"If the Ming army finds out about the actual situation, shouldn't something happen to this partial division?"
After Shuo Zhi finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth.
This kind of worry is purely superfluous, and the Ming Court, which does not even have Guan Ningjun, can't stop it at all.
"Who can be the commander of this expedition?"
Zilharang asked.
Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon.
