The 607th Siege of Jiazhou
Do not stick to the mud in Jiazhou.
This place is located in the northeast of Mizhi County, adjacent to Yulinwei.
The news of the Ming army's attack was quickly reported to Bu Mud.
"Big brother, the Ming army is serious this time."
"The Ming army, with Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Shaanxi, as the main force, marched from Mizhi County to Jiazhou. Zhang Quanchang, deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui, attacked from north to south from Yulinwei. ”
After listening to it without mud, he was terrified: "Wang Chengen is from Guan Ningjun, and Zhang Quanchang is also a famous general!" They...... All eyes on me. ”
"The rebel army that is active in this area will either be destroyed or difficult to deal with."
Li Zicheng calmly analyzed: "Only the eldest brother's force is not big or small, which is just the political achievement of the new governor after taking office. ”
When I heard it, my face was extremely ugly.
"Big brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's evacuate."
Li Zicheng clenched his fists and pleaded.
The enemy is outnumbered, and if he does not leave, he is in danger of destruction.
Don't get muddy but disagree: "No! Lao Tzu finally got this territory, and he couldn't give up anything. ”
"If the land is gone, you can take it back, but if the people are gone, there will be nothing."
Li Zicheng persuaded bitterly.
However, unmoved by the mud.
There are even some grievances.
A leader of the rebel army who was born in the border army, turned to the Quartet, and finally had a foothold.
It's a sour, brothers, who understands.
At this point, Zijin Liang couldn't sit still: "Big boss, what Brother Li said is very reasonable. We used to hide when we encountered officials and soldiers, and this time we can do the same. ”
"It's not the same. In the past, we didn't have so many people, but now that we have withdrawn, what do we rely on to feed this big family. ”
Don't stick to the mud and still have a hard mouth.
Zijin Liang said helplessly: "Big boss, you don't have to worry about this." It's a big deal to go back to the old business and rob the rich, and you can also distribute the money to the poor. ”
"Well, you don't have to say any more."
Don't get up in the mud, "We rely on the tall walls of Jiazhou to resist the official army." ”
After he finished speaking, he lifted his leg and left.
Leaving a room full of brethren with wide eyes and small eyes.
Li Zicheng said strangely: "The second master, how can the big boss be weird?" ”
"Oh, don't blame." Zijin Liang smiled bitterly, "The big boss is a woman who can't bear the treasures in the house and the backyard. ”
Li Zicheng suddenly realized.
The big brother who doesn't get mud used to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, so he comes and goes freely; Now that he has shoes to wear, he is afraid to throw them away.
How did this happen? Li Zicheng was puzzled.
In the days that followed, Li Zicheng persuaded him several times not to abandon the city.
Don't get mud alive and die and don't agree.
In the end, he even hid in the gentle township in the backyard and never came out to see Li Zicheng again.
In this way, the officers and soldiers arrived at the city of Jiazhou very smoothly.
The leading general was Wang Chengen, the chief soldier of Shaanxi.
It is not surprising that he and the eunuch Wang Chengen share the same name.
Yang Chengying has two Zhang Taos under his command, one is renamed by Mongolian Yiding, and the other is a Han name.
Wang Chengen was a subordinate of Yuan Chonghuan and followed Zhu Mei and others out of Liaodong.
Perhaps for the purpose of wooing, or for other reasons, Wang Chengen quickly accumulated merit to become the general army of Shaanxi.
The earthen mountain built by the officials and troops outside the west city has been built.
The earth hill is a foot higher than the city wall.
Wang Chengen climbed the earth mountain to look at it, and saw the thief army dressed in colorful clothes, gathered on the city gate.
And he saw that there were many weapons on the city to defend the city.
After careful observation for a while, Wang Chengen couldn't help but let out a "huh", and said in his heart: "The thieves don't know how to defend the city at all, how can they put rockets on the city tower?" ”
He then ordered the flag officer to wave the flag and summon Zhang Quanchang to Tushan to discuss the military situation.
"Brother Zhang, what do you think is that in the city?"
"A litter of lambs to the slaughter." Zhang Quanchang put his right hand on his eyes to cover the sun, and after taking a look, he grinned.
Wang Chengen was amused: "Then what do you think of these lambs' ability to defend the city?" ”
"The rolling wood is not well prepared, huh......? Rocket cars, that's got that, too! The commander who defended the city was not as good as the family members under the command of the general soldier of the king. ”
Zhang Quanchang looked at it for a while and couldn't help but shake his head.
Who gave them courage?
"I thought it would take some work, but now it seems that the worry is unnecessary."
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice: "According to the governor's strategy, you and I will besiege the city on three sides, leaving only the south side unattacked. ”
"Yes." Zhang Quanchang clenched his fists and took his life.
Wang Chengen ordered the artillerymen to push the general's cannon forward for a distance, facing the enemy's tower.
Make sure that as soon as you start fighting, the cannon will be so crushed that the enemy can't raise his head.
At the same time, he ordered the cavalry to form a formation and stand near the south gate.
As long as the enemy escapes through the south gate, spare the front and rear troops, and only intercept the center troops.
Because of the nature of the thief's greed for money, it must be treasures and women who protect the middle.
These techniques and tactics were all taught by Inspector Yuan.
Wang Chengen thought of Inspector Yuan, and his heart couldn't help but darken.
"Master Wang, all the ministries are ready."
The voice of a herald pulled Wang Chengen back from his low mood.
"Order, gunners fire!"
"Yes."
The flag bearer waved the flag.
"Fire!"
The voice of the order sounded almost simultaneously.
A large general's cannon, each spewing out cannonballs.
The earthquake shook the position and filled the smoke and dust.
The shells fell on the tower, and the peasant army at the head of the city could not raise its head.
"Siege!"
Under the supervision of their respective commanders, the mighty officers and troops pushed the siege vehicles and crossed the moat.
Behind them, artillery roared.
Cannonballs poured through the smoke and onto the rammed earth walls.
In terms of the use of artillery alone, the Guanning Army was second only to the Jinzhou Army in the entire Ming Army.
Yuan Chonghuan skillfully used the tactic of installing cannons on the wall, and defeated Nurhachi and Huang Taiji before and after with cannons.
Naturally, they also know how to attack a city with artillery.
The veteran of the Guanning Army held a shield and a Yanling knife in the other, standing on the west side of the team, directing the team to move forward.
Although they had been shaken by the sound of the cannons.
The rammed earth city wall had been punched out one after another, and the peasant army hid behind the city wall and did not dare to take the lead.
Approaching the city wall, the firearms on the cart exchanged fire with the defenders with their three-eyed guns.
The peasant army, which was so pressed that it could not raise its head, stretched out its bow and arrows, and shot at random.
The damage caused by this is limited.
The firearms man crouched down and hid behind the railing, dodging the flying arrows.
On the ground, there was chaos.
Through the smoke of gunpowder, Wang Chengen still discovered the shortcomings of the three-eyed gun, and shook his head helplessly.
If you have money, who wants to use it.
With the bird gun, it is completely possible to make the thief army have no chance to fight back.
Soon, the siege vehicle arrived at the designated position.
The gunner waved his flag and the shelling stopped.
The standard-bearer in front waved his flag in response, and he said to the commander of the front-line command: "Stop the artillery fire in the rear, go to the city!" ”
The general nodded heavily, turned back to the selected dead soldiers, and said loudly: "The general soldier has an order, the first to board the reward is fifty taels of silver, and the one who captures the flag is rewarded with thirty taels of silver, follow me!" ”
This is also the old rule of the Guan Ning Army, not to use the head as the standard for rewarding military merits.
"Rush!"
Under the temptation of huge interests, everyone in the officers and soldiers was extremely brave.
They set up a ladder and immediately climbed up the ladder.
