Chapter 9: Bloody Battle (2)
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan on Ningyuan City was extremely calm on the surface, but in fact he was worried. When dealing with the iron iron car in the city, the stones were light like scratching the surface. However, when he was defending the city in the morning, he had used a lot of huge rocks and rushed to fight. In order to deal with the iron car, almost half of the rolling stones had been used. If the people in the city contributed to the demolition from their own houses, they would probably not be able to hold on. If they could not think of a way to deal with the iron car, Ningyuan City would become a treasure in their own pocket until noon tomorrow.
The bigger problem is that the hearts of the people in the city have begun to fluctuate, and the hearts of the people are floating, and the unstable hearts and morale of the army are caused by the unstable hearts and morale of the army. Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan looked at the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty who was commanding the siege of the city, Nurhaci, and frowned slightly, and instantly calmed down again.
"Master, more and more iron carts are gathering under the city. We don't have enough stones. What should we do now?" Mangui ran over with sweat on his face. He was commanding the iron cart with huge rocks. He relied on his natural divine power to throw down more than a dozen huge rocks weighing thousands of pounds at once, which made the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty under the city cry and howl.
Zhao Rujiao also rushed to the city tower. He reported more anxiously than Man Gui: "Master, it's not good. Several spies incited the people in the city, saying that you will be promoted to the title in order to make your own achievements. Regardless of their lives, they are clamoring to give you an explanation. Finally, the leader has already taken care of several leaders."
When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he was furious and pointed at Zhao Rujiao's nose and cursed: "Nonbao, you not only harmed me, Yuan Chonghuan, but also harmed Ningyuan City, but Nurhaci who was outside the city!" He was worried about how to use how to call on the people in the city to defend the city. To put it nicely, it was "guarding", but in fact it was arrested and locked up. This would make the people believe more of these rumors. Without the support of the people, even the strongest city could not be kept.
Zhao Rujiao was immediately awakened by Yuan Chonghuan's scolding, and hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "The general was wrong, please punish him!"
"It's useless to do it, killing you." Although Yuan Chonghuan was angry, it was the time to use people. It was not good for him to deal with Zhao Lujiao. He was just not considering it. However, the consequences of his behavior at this critical moment were much greater. Then he asked: "Have you ever tampered with those people?"
Zhao Shujiao felt relieved. The mistake he made now was to cut him ten heads. Hearing Yuan Chonghuan's tone, he knew that his head had been temporarily saved. He hurriedly said: "The general arrested those suspicious people and reported to the general, and ordered that no one would be allowed to impose punishment on them!"
"That's good!" Yuan Chonghuan left Man Gui who was so anxious that he was walking around, and rushed with Zhao Shushu.
When Yuan Chonghuan appeased the people, the people's hearts had just become available again and decided to unite and defend Ningyuan City. When he arrived on the city tower, he found that the walls of Ningyuan City were in danger.
Just when the generals were wandering, the judge Jin Qiyan came up with a plan and threw the fire on the reed mattress and sheets down the city. Then the city generals, rockets, nitrite, etc., threw the mattress and sheets immediately burned. The nitrite was flammable. The iron cart was originally a wooden rack but only a layer of iron sheet was wrapped on it. The wood was flammable. There were all these iron carts under the city. Once it burned, the north was dry and it would inevitably cause a lot of fire and burn the enemy to death. Therefore, it was named "Enemy of Ten Thousand People".
Just as he thought of a way to defeat the enemy, he suddenly heard a huge collapse. The city wall was dug by the Later Jin at this time and collapsed one foot long. When Yuan Chonghuan saw it, he rushed over and carried a stone and said loudly: "Hurry up, pass on the order of the general to block the gap!"
When Man Gui and other generals saw the coach rushing over, they followed one after another.
Nurhaci, who was commanding outside the city, found that a gap had been dug and collapsed in Ningyuan City, and immediately commanded his iron armored army to rush over. He himself rushed up, which scared Dai Shan and others behind him, and rushed up.
The coaches of both sides personally took the battlefield. This was a melee. Zhu Yinglong and others who were outside the battlefield were all in their throats. Everyone had a cold sweat behind them. Xiong Hu's delicate face turned pale. She clenched her palms and stared at the battlefield ahead, obviously she was extremely nervous.
Zhu Yinglong had more worry than them. At this time, he felt that knowing history was a burden. Simply put, he was afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would lose. If Yuan Chonghuan lost, all his plans would be disrupted, and then he would be futile when he came to Liaodong.
"Dad, look, you guys, suddenly throw the bedding down from the city!" Xiong Hu suddenly called out in surprise.
Zhu Yinglong also saw it, and was very strange. He only knew the result of the war. As for how to win, he didn't know, so he didn't understand why he suddenly threw bedding under the city while fighting. He looked at Xiong Tingbi, and found that he was also confused. He looked at him in a daze, looked at each other, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and continued to face the telescope and look up the city tower.
Smoke was everywhere in Ningyuan City, and dust was flying where the collapsed place. Where the Ming and Later Jin concentrated their most elite forces to engage in a cruel battle.
The knife in Yuan Chonghuan's hand had already been slashed with blades, and there was no clean area on his body. The battle helmet was also splattered with blood and blood was flowing down. He was so good that he was very skilled in martial arts, but in just a few moments, he was besieged by several fierce Later Jin officers. He had suffered a minor injury on his legs and left shoulder. Seeing the head coach injured, Man Gui and other generals rushed over and roared over, killing a "Niu Luezhen" with one knife. They rushed to Yuan Chonghuan to approach and said, "Master, you are the head coach, so here is the last future!"
Zuofu also said while fighting: "Yes, Grandmaster, you are already injured. Ningyuan City can have no last general, but it cannot be without you. You should step back and plan!"
Yuan Chonghuan was merciless and slashed at a soldier in front of him, slashing the man over, and said to the two people beside him: "Although Ningyuan is only a mere city, it is related to the survival of our Ming court. If Ningyuan does not defend, our parents and brothers will become slaves of the Tartars in a few years. If I am timid today, if I do not fight and retreat, even if I can survive by chance, what's the fun and what's the face to meet the emperor!" This passage was said several times. Every time an enemy fell down, and finally he took advantage of the gap to tear off the wound of the battle robe that wrapped his left arm, and rushed up to fight. Under his leadership, the defenders of Ningyuan City gradually drove the rear golden braid out of the collapse of the city wall, and then held on while repairing the city wall, finally blocking the gap temporarily.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a strange sight. Ningyuan City shot rockets. Because of the lack of supplies, the Later Jin Dynasty was basically stolen. Therefore, the Later Jin Dynasty braided soldiers fought for the mattress thrown from the city, and they were in chaos. Because there was a fire hidden in the bedding, a little spark could be lit. Suddenly, the fire broke out under Ningyuan City, burning into a piece, burning countless Later Jin troops to death.
Nurhaci was not much better than that, and he was also slightly injured. Seeing that with the strong combat power of his Iron Armored Army, Yuan Chonghuan was able to withstand his attack with such a few people and caused his army to suffer heavy losses. Yuan Chonghuan is indeed worthy of being a person praised by Fan Wencheng. He was indeed capable in the battle. Nan Ming was indeed full of talents. It would be great if he had such talents under his command!
As the sound of the trumpet of the retreat of the Later Jin Dynasty sounded, the first day of the tragic siege came to an end. Zhu Yinglong and others, who were hiding behind the hillside behind the Later Jin army, were extremely amazed that Yuan Chonghuan could come up with such a clever plan, and were relieved by the war on the first day.
