Chapter 824
Tong Yangxing's military camp in Zhenjiang City was abnormally built into a city within a city, a solid turtle shell fortress, under the guidance of Tong Yangxing's huge fear of Mao Wenlong and his huge vigilance against the Han people.
, and even placed all his wealth in it, including countless grain, grass, supplies, gold and silver treasures. The three thousand Han troops were not only his slaves, but also his personal soldiers. The treatment of the personal soldiers was very high, Tong
In order to survive in this troubled world at the junction of the two countries, Yang Xing spared no effort to arm these soldiers. In this regard, he is different from Li Yongfang; but it is precisely this point that has saved Tong today.
Nourishing life.
He rolled and crawled back into his turtle shell. As soon as he rushed through the door, he shouted an order: "Seal the camp gate, block the doorway, and everyone will go to the city to defend."
A Qian Zong (the Han army of the Later Jin Dynasty, which is still implementing the military system of the Ming Dynasty) came forward and reported anxiously: "My lord, I can't do it. My brothers are on duty to guard the outer city today, and they haven't come back yet."
Tong Yangxing always had a big mouth: "When they come back, the Fu Liao Army will come in. Hurry and execute my orders quickly."
Tong Yangxing was kind to the soldiers to save his life, but he was also more aggressive in killing subordinates who went against his will. Every ten days and a half, he would find some small mistake and burn a few people on the high platform of the military camp.
It was this combination of kindness and power that made the Han people, who were originally alienated from morality, willing to die for him.
Mr. Qian no longer dared to say anything. He could only watch helplessly as his five hundred brothers were abandoned outside and left to fend for themselves. He took the remaining five hundred brothers to close the camp gate and move
The sandbags prepared long ago completely sealed the camp gate, isolating the inside and outside. Now everyone, including Tong Yangxing, breathed a sigh of relief and prayed desperately to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, praying that Mandu could die outside the city.
It is possible to contain the Liao army, and Du Du, the banner leader who was newly assigned to guard against Mao Wenlong, can rush over as soon as possible to rescue himself, the turtle in the urn.
Mao Wenlong, Mao Zhongming, and Wang Fu, the leader of the third battalion, stood in front of the tall military camp of Tong Yangxing, and they really felt helpless.
During the original Battle of Zhenjiang Gate, the leader of the third battalion, Wang Zhi, died in the battle. Wang Fu was promoted to the leader of the battalion, and his deputy was Wang San, who performed well in the second capture of Zhenjiang. After he was sent
After the training in the teaching camp, he was directly promoted to President Qian. Now he has his own name, Wang Yang.
The four people stood here and observed carefully, because this military camp was so abnormal for Tong Yangxing to cultivate. All the camp walls were taller than the Zhenjiang city wall, and they were all made of granite directly, which was not the same at all.
Like other city walls, it is made of bricks and stones on the outside and rammed earth on the inside. It is strong on the outside and dry on the inside.
An old man who had participated in the construction of this barracks was nearby and introduced: "Three generals, this barracks is not only tall on the ground, but also extremely solid underground. That Tong Yangxing dog officer directly dug the foundation to a depth of one foot, reaching a depth of 10 feet.
In the underground rock layer, tunneling methods and blasting methods are ineffective."
Mao Youde said bitterly: "Then I will trap him to death."
As a result, the old man lost his restraint when he saw that the Fu Liao army treated the people with kindness, so he shook his head and retorted directly: "General, it is impossible to die trapped, because this fortress is not only the military camp of that dog officer Tong Yangxing, but also
It's his smuggling warehouse, and there are really too many things stored in it. There is no problem in holding on for a year or two."
"Then let's attack by force." Wang Fu was eager to give it a try.
"No way." The old man retorted again.
"Why?" Mao Zhongming, who had been silent, asked.
"That dog officer Tong Yangxing knows artillery. There is a fort built on this fortress. It can not only attack the attackers at close range, but also cover the entire Zhenjiang City. A direct attack will not work."
Tong Yangxing was later appointed as a general by Huang Taiji. It was because he knew how to cast and use cannons. It was precisely because of this that he made great contributions in the entire war against the Ming Dynasty. In the end, after his death, he was named a county king and given the posthumous title of Qin.
benefit.
After hearing this introduction, everyone couldn't help but fell silent. Zhenjiang was taken down, but the hidden danger of the turtle shell was left. If it cannot be completely removed, when the Sword Slave counterattacks in the future, the cannon on the turtle will be bombarded in all directions.
These people simply cannot hold Zhenjiang and cannot achieve the original goal.
As if to prove the existence of his ability, there was a sudden loud noise on the turtle's shell, and the whistling shells flew over everyone's heads and hit the city wall in the distance. For a moment, earth and rocks flew, making people break out in a cold sweat.
"This Internet cafe nest must be removed no matter what, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Mao Zhongming pounded his thigh with his fist and made up his mind.
While everyone was studying how to capture this fortress, a cry of killing suddenly came from outside the city, followed by a dense roar of two people carrying weapons. Mao Zhongming couldn't help but frowned and asked the members of the detective team around him: "Go and take a look.
What's going on outside the city?"
Before the detective team member could go out to patrol, another member of the army detective team ran over on flying horses and reported loudly: "General Qi, the Eight Banners Jia Le Mandu has just withdrawn, taking his Eight Banners cavalry to detour to the south of the city.
A raid was conducted on our transport convoy outside the city."
When Mao Zhongming heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and asked nervously: "What's the loss?"
"A hundred stones of food and grass were burned, and thirty civilians were killed or wounded. There were no other losses."
Mao Youde breathed out heartlessly: "Fortunately, the loss is not big."
Mao Zhongming glanced at this stubborn brother: "This is not a good sign. Instead of running away, Mandu chose to stay. They roared back and forth outside the city and launched a counter-siege against us. Because we know the local area of Zhenjiang,
There are not many supplies. The food and grass needed by the army, especially the ordnance and explosives for the future defense of the city, are all transported from the rear. Once cut off by these guys, we will be trapped in Zhenjiang. How can we complete what our father has given us?
Task?"
With this reminder, everyone began to worry.
Mao Zhongming was right. There was no food in Zhenjiang, so it could only be transported from the rear. However, the 1,500 Jiannu Eight Banners in Mandu were all cavalry, and all of them were infantry. Facing the roaring cavalry, everyone
It is simply helpless. This is equivalent to cutting off the food supply of this army. If you want to hold on for a long time, you must first reserve food. As a result, it seems that this is impossible now.
And with the Tong Yangxing military camp inside that can hit the four city walls with artillery, and the Mandu cavalry that is constantly harassing outside, plus the main force of the slave establishment that will be attracted in the future, everyone's situation is really extremely difficult. How can we open this place?
The situation has become a major event before everyone.
