Chapter 231 Ive been waiting for you for a long time!
Duduo really has a conspiracy.
And He Luohui has been asked to prepare secretly.
"That's it." He Luohui said with a proud smile, "This time not only did we keep Xianglan Qi in the dark, but Yan Yingyuan in Shanyang City was also deceived to death by you, Master."
After a pause, he continued: "I really can't wait to see what the reaction of Yan will be when the elites of our two white flags pour into Shanyang City one after another."
Hearing this, Duduo showed a proud look on his lips.
The unknown people are, in the final analysis, still the unknown people.
Even though he is a little clever, he never makes it to the stage.
He Luohui asked again: "Master, what should we do with Yan Yingyuan after the city is broken?"
"It goes without saying." Ashan on the other side gritted his teeth and said, "This man burned so much of our food, grass and baggage, and killed so many of our two white flags. He must be skinned and cramped!"
"No, this person cannot be harmed." Duduo said sadly.
"This man has great talent. Keeping him alive will be of great use to our Qing Dynasty."
"Master's mind is as broad as the world." He Luohui immediately sent another flattery to Duduo, "That person surnamed Yan has the blessing of countless lifetimes to meet you, master.
"
Duduo smiled and said: "The Qing Dynasty has always been kind to talented people."
…
Shanyang East City, on the north gate tower.
Zhi Tingjian was leaning behind the hole in the battlement to look at the situation outside.
Although the north gate tower was hundreds of steps away from the east and west turrets, Zhi Tingjian was still wary of the Jiannu archers on the earth platform outside the turrets, so he did not dare to poke his head rashly.
Seeing Jiannu finally retreat through the hole in the battlements, Zhi Tingjian immediately fell down on the road, as if he had collapsed. It was so difficult.
Finally, another demolition was repelled.
But Zhi Tingjian also saw it.
Jiannu was really determined to demolish the turret.
I wonder how long the turret can last?
Just when he was worried, Master Qian Gu came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan has sent people to urge for fire oil again. Let's quickly send two more barrels of fire oil to each corner building."
"Send, send, send, send it over quickly." Zhi Ting admonished.
"As for Yan Xiaoyou's side of the northwest corner building, I'll leave it to the county to deliver it personally."
Zhi Tingjian and Xiang Yong came to the northwest corner building with two large barrels of fire oil.
"Why did you come here in person, Lord County?" Yan Yingyuan came down from the turret to greet him, "Just send someone to deliver it."
"Yan Xiaoyou, you are not afraid of life and death. As the parents of this county in Shanyang, what should we be afraid of?" Zhi Tingjian said that he was not afraid, but he did not dare to climb the turret after all.
There is still some danger in going up to the turret.
The earth platform built by Jiannu outside the city is already more than three feet high.
Moreover, the servants who built the slaves are still carrying the soil to build higher.
Zhi Tingjian added: "Yan Xiaoyou, just now at the North Gate Tower, I saw that a large piece of the northwest corner tower has been dug out. If we continue to allow the slaves to demolish it like this, I'm afraid it won't last long.
"
"It doesn't matter." Yan Yingyuan said, "The county magistrate doesn't have to worry."
Seeing that Zhi Tingjian was still frowning, Yan Yingyuan comforted him and said: "This will reassure the county magistrate. Even if the turret collapses, Jian Nu will never even think about stepping into Shanyang City! I already have a perfect plan!"
After sending Zhi Tingjian away, Yan Yingyuan went up to the northwest corner tower again.
"Erdan, come over here." Yan Yingyuan waved to Wu Erdan to come over.
Wu Erdan, who was squatting behind the battlements, immediately bent over and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Yan Yingyuan said: "First bring up the two barrels of fire oil below, and then move all the gunners and musketeers to the walls on both sides of the northwest corner tower. By the way, send a signal to Xicheng Xiangyong to let them
We also moved all the tiger squatting cannons and bird cannons to the city walls on both sides of the northeast corner tower and set up an ambush."
"Tiger crouching cannon? Musketeers?" Wu Erdan was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment, "Sir, but the tiger crouching cannon mounted on the city wall can't hit the Jiannu slaves who are doing demolition under the corner, and the musketeers, fifty paces
It’s basically impossible to hit from a distance, and it’s not even as accurate as Jian Nu’s big bow, so it’s completely useless.”
Yan Yingyuan said: "Go if you are told to go, what are you talking about?"
Wu Erdan made a soft sound and obediently went to arrange for someone to send the signal again.
Maoxiang on the opposite side was also very confused after receiving the signal.
However, Maoxiang did not question Yan Yingyuan, but did as he was told.
…
Outside Shanyang City, the banners with blue flags were moving again.
The damaged carriages were quickly repaired, the vault skins were replaced, and the hundreds of wrappers that had been burned to death were replenished. After everything was ready, the demolition started again.
Zhentunqi, the leader of Gushan Mountain in Xianglan Banner, has personally climbed up to one of the earth platforms.
Holding a large bow and a heavy arrow on the string, Tun Qi shouted: "Listen to me, I must be keeping an eye on the bright dogs at the top of the city on the opposite side. They can't even put their heads in the air."
, and they are not allowed to pour the fire oil down. If the fire oil burns down the cart again, you will wait for the master's severe punishment after returning to Beijing!"
The blue flag guard on the earth platform was as silent as a cicada. The flag owner's severe punishment was not a joke.
At worst, they could be deprived of their coat or land, or at worst, they could be expelled from the banner and become armored men from then on.
But fortunately, there has been no movement in the corner building opposite this time. Has the fire oil run out?
Just as the bannermen with blue flags secretly said they were lucky, war drums suddenly sounded from the direction of the camp behind them.
"Hey, this is a war drum?" Tun Qi turned around in surprise, "Prince Yu, can't you wait to launch an attack on the city?"
Jiannu who was on the platform looked back at the same time and found that at least one Jia La from Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner had launched an attack pushing at least sixty carts. As for the direction of the attack?
Tun Qi looked forward along the direction of the attack with the two white flags, and then stood there stunned.
"Ah, are the two white flags going to launch an attack from the canal between the east and west cities?"
Tun Qi was stunned and said: "Although the city walls on both sides of the canal are much lower, wouldn't an attack from the canal be attacked by the Ming army from both sides? This is a taboo for military strategists!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
"Being attacked on both sides is a taboo for military strategists."
"In the vast majority of cases, such a choice cannot be made."
Duduo smiled and said to the nobles of the Two White Banners such as He Luohui and Ashan who gathered around him: "However, soldiers have no constant momentum and water has no constant shape. However, under certain specific conditions, this can be done."
"For example, now," He Luohui said, "is a good time to do the opposite."
"You're right, do the opposite!" Duduo said with a smile, "That Yan Yingyuan never thought that we would dare to do the opposite and attack directly from the canal against Ming Gou's attack from both sides!"
"In addition, Xianglanqi has been demolishing the corner building for six consecutive days,"
"The Xianglan Banner paid a heavy price with thousands of bannermen killed in battle."
"So Yan Yingyuan never thought that this was just a cover-up on our part."
"If nothing else, the Ming army's defense focus has completely shifted to the eight corner towers."
After saying this, Duduo smiled and said: "It is too late to adjust the defense deployment at this time, so this time our two white flag warriors can definitely come down with one drum."
…
On the other side, the northwest corner building of East City.
Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw thousands of Jiannu pushing nearly a hundred carts out of the camp, first walking to the river, and then rushing directly along the ice of the canal towards the middle of the east and west cities.
It’s finally here, it’s finally here, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!
Wu Erdan next to him looked at Yan Yingyuan with a look like a god.
Isn't it amazing? Isn't this amazing? Are adults really capable of clever calculations?
How could your Excellency predict in advance that the Jiannu would launch an attack directly from the canal ice?
Then deploy all the squatting cannons and bird cannons to the turrets on both sides of the canal in advance?
Because the ice surface of the canal was flat, Jiannu's advance was extremely fast.
Soon, thousands of Jiannu pushed sixty or seventy carts along the canal and entered between the east and west cities, and reached the lock bridge in the center of the city before finally stopping.
In the blink of an eye, the ice surface of the canal was crowded with Jiannu, and it was a large area of darkness.
Wu Erdan just did a rough count. There were at least a thousand real slaves and a similar number of coated slaves. At this time, there were at least 3,000 people gathered on the ice of the canal!
It seems that Jiannu is really going to fight hard this time.
Immediately after the army wrapped the clothes, they began to assemble the ladder.
Yan Yingyuan was waiting for this moment, and immediately shouted: "Pass my general order, all the musketeers aim at the canal, and fire freely, and all the tiger crouching cannons aim at the Jiannu earth platform outside the turret, and they also fire freely!"
"Your Majesty has an order..." Wu Erdan quickly conveyed Yan Yingyuan's order.
The gunners and musketeers who were ambushing the walls of the east and west cities received orders almost at the same time.
Immediately, more than forty squatting tiger cannons concentrated their firepower and launched a saturation bombardment on the two jiannu earth platforms in the northeast corner of the West City and the northwest corner of the east city. Although the accuracy of the squatting tiger cannons was extremely poor, they could not hold up enough.
By the way, several of the fifty-door Tiger Crouching Cannon have been damaged.
Facing the heavy rain of plumes, the archers with the blue flag were caught off guard, causing many casualties in an instant. The Tunqi had to wear two layers of armor, so they were not in serious trouble.
Just as the gunners fired, the musketeers also opened fire.
A full thousand musketeers opened fire on the ice of the canal between the east and west cities at the same time. The scene was quite brutal.
Because the width of the Grand Canal that passes through the city is only over six feet, taking into account the height of the city wall and the inclination of the city wall, it does not exceed fifty steps, which is within the effective range of the cannon.
Moreover, since the canal ice was crowded with slaves, there was no need to aim.
The musketeers only needed to fire their guns at the canal, and they would definitely hit.
This time, the Jiannu who was covered with armor and stomach was fine, but he suffered heavy casualties.
With a loud "bang bang bang" sound, the coating fell piece by piece on the ice.
Encountered by this surprise attack, the soldiers immediately panicked and began to flee in all directions, no longer caring about joining the ladder.
