In the entire system of the Fuliao Army, Zhao Sihai is actually quite a wretch, when he took the fourth column, he never got a battle, his current rank of deputy general, and the title of this viscount, are all obtained by following the battle victories of other brothers, and the tide rises, and he is very boring.
He has always wanted to really fight a battle and establish his own combat exploits.
But this time he was reused by Lu Hanqiang, and handed over 50,000 musketeers to himself to lead, thinking that he was already the main force in the main force, but when he went to the battlefield, he was told that it was still a feint or a standby, in his understanding, that is, to fight for other brothers to fight for opportunities, and he still watched the show with his own army of 50,000.
So in his heart, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Hanqiang, thinking that the Fuliao Army he joined later was separated from the original brothers and Lu Hanqiang in terms of thinking.
This time it suddenly changed from a feint attack to a main attack, and Zhao Sihai decided to show some real skills, and he must win the first merit in the battle to destroy the country.
With the orderly mobilization of the war, it was just an hour, and the three-way army was in place, and Lu Hanqiang, who was standing in the south of the city, said to Zhao Sihaidao, who was nervously watching him, "Let's launch." ” Zhao Sihai received the order loudly, personally waved the red flag in his hand, at this time, every 500 meters away there appeared a column of soldiers holding muskets, began to line up horizontally, with the monotonous drums, slowly approaching the Xinmin city wall, when the musketeers walked to the city after the enemy's bow and arrow range, the drum did not stop, still not in a hurry, slowly beating, these musketeers, on the mechanical drum beat, walking their own steps, slowly approaching the city wall, into the best range of their muskets, At this time, the monotonous drum beat stopped abruptly, and the musketeers immediately stopped, and then silently waited for new orders.
Behind these musketeers, there were numerous chicken carts, piled high with sacks full of loess, and the hired men with water-drenched quilts on their heads, followed the musketeers and began to advance towards the moat.
At first, his heart was panicked, and his eyes were full of fear, but when he saw the mighty musketeers in front of him, his heart began to slowly become calm, his hands were strong, and his feet were not shaking, because he knew that those musketeers would protect them and keep them safe.
The sound of squeaky chickens and buses made the enemy in the city feel that today's atmosphere was not right with the past, so the originally lazy siege battle immediately became tense, the gong sounded above the city, and countless figures ran back and forth nervously and panickedly.
And at this time, the captain of the musketeer brigade standing under the city wall, seeing the chaotic enemies at the head of the city, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then raised his slender command knife and shouted slowly at his soldiers: "Target the enemy in the city, shoot freely." ” With his roar, the musketeers under the city raised the muskets that had been loaded in their hands one after another, aimed at the city, looking for their targets, and with a burst of gunfire, the whistling projectiles rushed to the city, immediately bringing up countless pieces of blood, and there were bursts of screams, and the figure that was originally flustered and shaking on the city head disappeared immediately.
While the enemy was hidden, the musketeers calmly reloaded their ammunition and once again raised their muskets to aim at the empty city, looking for the enemy who dared to show their heads.
So the city gate Qian, who was lying on the city wall to avoid the enemy's gunfight, shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and send a few more people to the city guard's mansion, and be sure to ask the banner lord to go to the city to observe." ” So a few of the soldiers ran down the city with their waists crawling and crawling, and ran straight to Xinmin's city guard's mansion.
At this time, Tong Tulai, the owner of the Blue Banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, was in the yamen of the City Guard's Mansion, discussing the issue of the defense of Xinmin City with his assistant Li Guohan, the owner of the Blue Banner.
Tong Tulai was appointed by Huang Taiji as the garrison of Xinmin, and the blue flag was also included in his command, which shows the absolute trust of the emperor Huang Taiji in himself, so Tong Tulai has made up his mind to be loyal to the emperor and resolutely defend Xinmincheng.
For defending Xinmin City, Tong Tulai is confident.
Xinmin is already at the forefront of the war.
The gateway of this Shengjing City, in the past two years, has been continuously heightened and strengthened day and night, spending countless money, food and manpower, can be described as solid, at the same time, their own rectification of their own blue flag, in the acquiescence of Huang Taiji, under the massive supply of money and food in the household, rectified 30,000 soldiers, which has greatly exceeded the provisions of the establishment, and at the same time with their own blue flag, the number of people and horses has also reached 20,000, so calculated, the entire new city has become a large barracks, the total number of regular military horses has reached 50,000, and the opposite Lu Hanqiang, According to reliable information, his real musketeers were only 50,000 horses, 50,000 against 50,000, and he had the advantage of being tall on the city wall, according to Sun Tzu's Art of War, Lu Hanqiang would never be able to take it.
This has the advantage of equal offensive and defensive forces.
As a result, the general of Lu Hanqiang's team also found that the number of troops he had at hand was comparable to the number of soldiers and horses defending the city, so he was not very concerned about the siege, and he stopped every day, and seemed to be coping with things.
With such a comparison, the original banner owner with the blue flag was his deputy Li Guohan, who was full of confidence and prepared to steal the camp to attack, but was denied by Tong Tulai, his task was to hold Xinmin City and block the advance of Lu Hanqiang's army.
Lu Han raped and cunning, his army state and Lu Hanqiang compared to the world, it is absolutely a world of difference, his own family knows his family's affairs, his own 50,000 troops, but they are all transformed from the peasants just now, with the city wall to hold, the war can still continue, and once out of the city to fight, it is self-destruction, I want to be known as the king of the field The real Manchurian Eight Banners, against Lu Hanqiang's field battles, all ended in failure, how can he compare with those field kings, so he persuaded Li Guohan countless times: "Don't ask for merit, But there is no fault, this is the current situation, and it is also what we need to do now, the sharp energy of Lu Hanqiang that we consume here, our goal will be achieved, and then our emperor will come up with a way to deal with Lu Hanqiang. ” In the first few days when the two armies faced each other, the two sides fought tepidly, and Lu Hanqiang did not have the strength to attack this tall Xinmin City, which made Li Guohan have a kind of contempt for Lu Hanqiang's army, in his opinion, Lu Hanqiang's spearmen were not able to carry out a tough battle at all, and in the face of his own constantly heightened and strengthened city walls, Lu Hanqiang was timid.
But Tong Tulai had a judgment that Lu Hanqiang definitely had a conspiracy, so he transmitted the book to Huang Taiji several times to express his worries, and the reply decree that Huang Taiji gave him was just two words each time. t1706231537:
