Chen Liang's attack on Niuzhuang was already the third day, and Niuzhuang was still in Liu Zhiyuan's hands, Chen Liang had used all the methods he could think of in his head, but it only made a few holes in the west wall of Niuzhuang that were blown up by the explosives bag, and he was crumbling but not falling, which made Chen Liang stomp his feet anxiously.
While looking at the lively Kong Bangguo, he held his arms and persuaded slowly: "My General Chen, there are 30,000 on the opposite side, or a commander who has experienced a hundred battles and has absolute experience in defense, we have 20,000, or attack on the back, how can we capture it so quickly, and ah, when we came, the Inspector said, let's take it easy, our purpose is to attract the Emperor Taiji Manchuria Eight Banners to come to the aid and cooperate with the Xinmin battle, if we are in a hurry, we are violating military discipline." ” Chen Liang stiffened his neck: "What is the main attack and assist, whoever wins the enemy first, then who is the main attacker, I will take Niuzhuang first and turn the assist into the main attack." ” For this explanation, Kong Bangguo can only smile bitterly and shake his head, this thing is really not too serious, first, this military affairs are under the control of the military commander, he joined the army and is still a staff officer, he can't and is not allowed to be the master, this is the rule set at the beginning, second, this Chen Liang himself can't say, he is the brother of the supervisor Lu Hanqiang, when he was trapped in Liaodong, Lu Hanqiang did not hesitate to pay 13,000 lives to rescue, although his role in boosting morale and uniting people's hearts is huge and immeasurable, but in Kong Bangguo's heart, It's not Lu Hanqiang's special feelings for Chen Liang Such a guy, how can he say, how dare he say so, the battle of this Niuzhuang is completely dependent on Chen Liang's temperament, as long as he looks at him and doesn't make a big difference, for example, Chen Liang wants to send someone to climb the city, Kong Bangguo will resolutely oppose it, and the rest is up to you, besides, who doesn't want to make a contribution in the first battle This is a battle to destroy the country, the first battle to make a contribution, that is to go down in history, Kong Bangguo is of course very eager, but he is just hindering the military order and not daring to come blatantly, with Chen Liang's shining shield in the way, It's a lot easier.
Two people, one really wants to fight, the other is obstructed, but in his heart he wants to establish the first merit of destroying the country as soon as possible, so there is no contradiction, but Chen Liang has a tendon in his head, and there is no way to defend Liu Zhiyuan in the city, and Kong Bangguo is still tepid and does not have ideas, so the siege war was tepid for three days.
Not to mention the talents cultivated by the Daming Military Academy, it is really not good to fight directly in the face of Jiannu or something, but the ability to be a turtle is absolutely strong, just this Liu Zhiyuan, just the 30,000 young and strong farmers in his two banner areas, rectified and trained for less than three months, can make them become orderly in defending the city, block the repeated attacks of the Fuliao army, and can also make corresponding strategies for the different means of the Fuliao army, this Liu Zhiyuan can be said to be really a capable person.
"Longbowmen, up, cover shots."
Chen Liang ordered loudly again.
So the 10,000 longbowmen were divided into two teams, 5,000 with bows and arrows, and 5,000 ready to continue.
The longbow was powerful and had a long range, and with a command, five thousand huge arrows flew up to the city, and at this time, a door panel was immediately lined up on the city, and the giant arrows hit the door panel like a rainstorm, almost no damage to the enemy below.
After repeating this, Chen Liang became discouraged.
So he yelled at the bed crossbow: "The bed crossbow explosives bag, on." ” So a hundred bed crossbows were launched, and the explosives were pushed to the front of the formation to cast, and as a result, those crossbow arrows with explosives were just nailed to the city wall, and countless two sections of ropes were immediately released on the city wall, and the big wood that was freely retracted and put away was broken by the brush and fell under the city, and those explosive bags exploded at the corner of the city, and the walls of Niuzhuang were all cast of big bluestone, and the explosion of the explosive bags outside it had no effect at all, and the only effect of these explosive bags was to shake the new city walls above, so that they began to crack.
Then the soldier with the bed crossbow retreated in frustration.
Chen Liang was born in cavalry, and he didn't know anything about infantry siege techniques, and it was these axes that turned over and over.
Liu Zhiyuan stood in the city tower and saw the longbow soldiers of the Fuliao army coming out of the battle, so he ordered the door panel to prepare to cover the city, and then there was a rain of arrows that did not hurt him.
Seeing the bed crossbow out of the battle, he threw out the wooden platoon to prepare, and got the explosives bag to the corner of the city, and then everyone heard a sound, cracks appeared in the new city, and immediately ordered to pour it with boiled glutinous rice porridge and clay, anyway, it was going back and forth like this, and this siege war was really boring.
Liu Zhiyuan despised the opponent on the other side very much, I have endless tricks to guard against, and I want to test it, you are good, just two times and not even a third time, it's really depressing.
But I really have to admire the ordnance of the Fuliao army, just that giant arrow, the power is huge, and there are too many of them, it seems to be endless, if the door panel is not made of elm, it can be shattered instantly, it was the first time to see such a giant arrow, Liu Zhiyuan also wanted to collect it and return it, but unfortunately, this Lu Hanqiang's head didn't know what to think, these arrows were all cast with iron slag, and when they encountered a hard object, they were immediately shattered, and there was no use value.
There is also the explosive bag, the explosive bag in his own hands is a treasure, in the hands of others, it is simply a thing that does not need money, and it is used so repeatedly every day, and I don't see people distressed, this is really more popular than people.
Seeing that the enemy's longbowmen came out of battle again, Liu Zhiyuan stretched his waist, sighed, and ordered the lieutenant general beside him: "You are staring here, I will go back to the house and sleep." ” The deputy general nodded with a relaxed face: "You can rest and eat meat and drink, I'll keep an eye here."
Then he looked out of the city: "If that fool outside the city continues to fight like this, I don't think he will be able to attack our Niuzhuang in his life, hahaha." ” Liu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "It's really boring to play against a fool with no head, but fortunately, I'm a good-tempered person, if I'm impatient, maybe I'll give him a few tricks to make the battle fierce as soon as possible, so that everyone's blood can boil." ” The generals laughed together.
After the soldiers finished laughing, Liu Zhiyuan remembered something, and asked the staff behind him: "We sent out five urgent feet to deliver to Beijing, haven't we received the emperor's exact instructions?"
The staff shook their heads: "No, there is no news, is it?"
Liu Zhiyuan immediately interrupted his following words, and said with a grateful face: "This is the emperor's absolute trust in me, this is letting me take full charge of this cow village, it is really the emperor's grace." ” All the civil and military forces praised the emperor's kindness and generosity together.
It's a rare power outage, haha, I just called, I uploaded it immediately, I delayed the brothers, and I apologized t1706231537:
