Chapter 486 Shandong (9)

 The emperor's wrath laid down millions of corpses and bled thousands of miles.

Zhu Hengjia defeated his favorite general Zhao Yong, the Bo of Yicheng. Long Yan was furious and ordered the former army to command Chang Guogong Li Mingzhong to attack the city.

The emperor's anger is the anger of the three armies. Li Mingzhong waved his flag, Hao Shangjiu, Hao Yongzhong, and Li Laiheng each led 10,000 troops and approached the east, north, and west gates. Wang Deren led two

Thousands of soldiers and horses slowly came towards the south gate.

Emperor Guangwu was always generous, and he used 50,000 people for the first wave of attacks. The original strategy was to use the south gate as the main attack direction, and concentrate a hundred "big generals to destroy the captives" to bombard the south gate. Unexpectedly, they were blocked by artillery on the city.

In the counterattack, the "General of Destroying the Lu" failed to cause much damage to the enemy's city wall. So he had to use human lives to pile it up.

Thirty thousand civilians pushed carts towards the moat. These civilians were all victims recruited by the Ming army. The north suffered from successive cold disasters and military disasters, and there were many refugees in Beizhili, Henan, and Shandong. Zhu Hengjia ordered the recruitment of refugees to serve as conscripts.

Firstly, it can reduce local instability, and secondly, it can save money. The reward for recruiting common people is three silver coins per month, while recruiting refugees can only cost one silver coin per month.

Liu Zhuzhu pushed the cart and ran very fast. He was fleeing from Daming Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture. He was about to starve to death and was dying on the roadside. Just when he was passing by the Minfu Camp of the Ming Army, the kind-hearted steward gave him

With just a piece of cake, he survived and was incorporated into the civilian team.

It's great to be a civilian husband of the Ming Dynasty army. Not only does it take care of the food, but you can also receive one penny a month. Moreover, according to the manager, if you perform well, you will have the opportunity to be formally incorporated into the army. Thinking of this, Liu Zhuzhu felt a little excited.

It's hot, and the speed of pushing the bucket truck is faster.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Qing artillery on the city roared, and carts were constantly hit. A man in front of Liu Zhuzhu was blown to pieces along with his cart.

"Dog Tartar!"

Liu Zhuzi spat, and his eyes turned red when he thought of his parents and wife who had starved to death under the brutal Tatar conquests. He rushed to the river and filled the bucket with sand and soil. He quickly turned around and pushed the cart to load a load of soil.

.

The overwhelming number of people and the continuous flow of 30,000 bucket trucks took only three hours to fill up the moat. At the same time, thousands of civilians were shot to death by the river.

Li Mingzhong glanced at the time and saw that it was already a quarter past three o'clock (about two o'clock in the afternoon).

"Attack!"

"Woo~woo~woo~"

The horns were blaring, and fifty thousand Ming troops were overwhelming, rushing in with overwhelming force.

Qing generals Ledu, Gunchuk, Fu Ka, Ku'erchan, Li Yidi and others led their troops to defend the city.

Wang Deren summoned Song Kuiguang, Huang Tianlei, Li Shiyuan, and Liu Yipeng, and encouraged them loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered our department to take the lead in the attack. It is really an honor for our department. You should encourage him!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Jianwu, the general will fight to the death in the end." The generals should respond.

"Well," Wang Deren grunted, and the two long and dense white hairs on his cheeks fluttered in the wind, "Everyone knows my 'Wang Zamao' temper, and I always reward those who have merit. But if someone

If you shrink from the battle, I recognize you, but the knife in my hand does not recognize you!"

After saying that, he took out his waist knife, a shiny steel knife, not angry but powerful.

The generals were shocked and took the order to leave.

Song Kuiguang, Li Shiyuan, and Liu Yipeng led 10,000 troops in the front, and the ants attacked the city. Wang Deren and Huang Tianlei followed behind with 10,000 troops.

"Boom! Boom! Boom", the Qing army's artillery fired in unison, knocking over the soldiers one by one.

There were many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. When they rushed to the city, the cannons had no use.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

Ladder trucks climbed up to the top of the city one after another, and the soldiers of the Ming army climbed up the ladders.

On the top of the city, kerosene, golden soup, stone, rolling wood, and wolf-tooth slaps appeared in endlessly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

"Boom, boom! Boom!"

There were heavy bullets, and people kept falling from the ladder.

Song Kuiguang, the commander-in-chief, wanted to show his face in front of the emperor, so he braved the target personally.

Melezhangjing Fu Ka was good at shooting, so he selected a hundred vulture shooters with superb archery skills to snipe and kill the Ming army generals.

"Zhang Jing, there is a Ming army general over there," his subordinates came to report.

When Fu Ka heard this, he followed the direction pointed and saw Song Kuiguang's armor. Well, at least he was a deputy general. "Call more people and shoot him to death."

"Swish, swish, swish, swish", seven or eight armor-piercing arrows specially designed for eagle shooters were shot at Song Kuiguang.

The dignified commander-in-chief of the town was killed instantly and fell from the ladder.

"Brother Song!"

Li Shiyuan on the side saw it clearly and was furious. Back then, he, Song Kuiguang and others, followed Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren in revolting against the Qing Dynasty in Jiangxi. Their relationship was very good. They bravely stormed the city and picked off several people with spears.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Li Shiyuan's troops rushed to the top of the city and were unstoppable.

"Form up!"

After giving an order, the Ming army formed a formation on a section of the city wall, forming a castle to protect the Ming army below the city from ascending the city.

Yue Le's face was heavy, "Quickly mobilize the foreign gun team of the red-haired Yi people."

Captain Cock's foreign rifle team arrived, with 300 men arranged in five lines, firing bullets at Li Shiyuan intensively.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp", the flintlock gun rang out and shot through the Ming army's small buckler, killing Li Shiyuan and a hundred of his men at the top of the city.

The massive offensive was repulsed.

"The flag is coming!" Wang Deren, who was supervising the battle, was furious and ordered the flag to be moved forward and attack the city himself.

"Kill the captives", "Kill the captives", "Kill the captives"??

Marquis Jianwu came in person, and his subordinates were all excited. They shouted "kill the captives" and rushed to the top of the city.

"Brother-in-law, you are the chief general. Please stay back and let the last general ascend first." Huang Tianlei, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou, stood in the front.

Wang Deren pushed Huang Tianlei away and said, "Go, go, when will I, 'Wang Zamao', fall behind others in the battle? You go over there and take command, don't get in the way."

Whoosh, whoosh, a Marquis of Jianwu leaped from the ladder to the city in a few seconds. Hundreds of personal guards, all tigers and wolves, followed closely.

"Swish, swish, swish", several cold arrows flew towards him, "Commander, be careful", a personal guard stood in front of Wang Deren and was hit by an arrow and died.

Wang Deren followed the direction of the cold arrow and saw Melezhangjing Fu Ka and several eagle shooters. He snorted and advanced with a sword in his hand. All the enemies he encountered were cut down.

In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Fu Ka. Fu Ka was frightened and hurriedly drew his knife and used the head-wrapping knife to barely protect his vital parts.

"Dang, dang, dang", Wang Deren's sword was as fast as a sword, like a rushing river, opening and closing.

The more he fought, the more frightened Fu Ka became, and he lost his temper. Once his anger was released, his life was lost. Wang Deren split Huashan Mountain diagonally into two halves with a powerful move.

"Bang bang bang", the foreign guns of the red-haired Yi people lined up to shoot. There were only more than two hundred gunmen. If they were in a battle, they would be insignificant, but on this narrow city wall, they could cause a lot of casualties.

Wang Deren took out his large sheathed bow and shot down a Yi soldier, "Brothers, follow me and charge forward. As long as you charge forward, the Yi people's firecrackers will become fire sticks."

If we unite as one, the mountains can be shaken.

The Ming army went straight to kill the red-haired Yi people. Unexpectedly, the Yi people's musketeers were well-trained and reloaded their ammunition very quickly. Bullets rained down in an endless stream. Two-quarters of an hour later, Wang Deren and his more than 300 personal guards,

Fell in a pool of blood.

"Brother-in-law!"

Huang Tianlei cried out sadly, snatched Wang Deren's body and took it away from the city.

The mighty Ming army was repulsed.

On the first day of the siege, the Ming army suffered 7,000 casualties. Generals Wang Deren, Marquis of Jianwu, Zhao Yong, Bo of Yicheng, Song Kuiguang, the general, and Li Shiyuan died in the battle.

Outside the city of Jinan, Zhu Hengjia's heart was bleeding. Including the 3,000 people he lost in Lishan, he had already lost 10,000 troops in Jinan, and his army of 130,000 had become 120,000. These were all veterans of hundreds of battles.

, it’s my hard work and life!

While he was feeling unhappy, two great counselors, Zheng Feng and Liu Maoxia, entered the tent.

"Your Majesty, the city of Jinan is strong and the enemy has sharp cannons and artillery. It is better to be surrounded by deep ditches and barriers for a long time. Then divide the troops to attack Dongchang Mansion, Qinglai, and ascend to the three prefectures," Zheng Feng reported.

"Your Majesty can order Pucheng Bo Ma Bao and Wu Jingbo Wang Guoxi each to lead 10,000 troops to capture Dongchang Prefecture and Qing, Lai, and Deng Prefectures respectively. You can lead an army of 100,000 troops to besiege Jinan," Liu Maoxia suggested.

Zhu Hengjia sighed: "Today I know why Yan Zungao refused to attack Kaifeng. What you said is very good. However, to attack Dongchang, Wang Guoxi's rate of 5,000 people is enough; for Ma Bao, I will send him 10,000.

Five thousand people.

Liu Maoxia was surprised, "Your Majesty, there are more than 13,000 people stationed in Dongchang Mansion by Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong and Jin Guangzu, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty. You only gave Wang Guoxi 5,000 troops. Is that too little?"<

/p>

"Liu Qing, don't worry, I have my own opinions. The secret cannot be leaked." Zhu Hengjia mentioned the secret.

After hearing the emperor's words, Zheng Feng narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.
