"Entering his mother, I didn't expect that the one guarding the fort was actually Li Xiao who entered this dog!"

In the vast cowhide military tent, Jia La's true love for Ba Li, after listening to the reply of the Han people, he angrily slapped the table and shouted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, on the ground, Niu Lu Ezhen Talam, Cha Bulu, Ban Zhifu, the deputy chief of staff of the Tianzhu Army, and two Niu Lu Ezhen from the Mongolian Alu Korqin Division, were kneeling in a row in the open space in front of Aibali.

These leaders, who had lost the battle, were prostrating themselves before Aibali to plead guilty. At this time, hearing the words of the Han people, these people looked at each other, and their faces were full of surprise.

"That Li Xiao, I heard that he was quite brave and resourceful, and when he was in Liaodong, he attacked and killed 43 elite sentries of my Eight Banners. Unexpectedly, this person is here now. Niu Lu Ezhen Talam whispered.

"This is strange, on the day of Abataibeizi's expedition to Liaoxi, didn't it mean that Li Xiao's foothold in Liaodong had been burned by our Dajin army, and then this person had no way to go, and he had fled Shandong? Why are you now stationed in this Xuanfu land? Chabulu looked puzzled.

Ai Bali also sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that he would meet Li Xiao, a bad star, in the remote border fort of Xuanfu Town, but his luck was not good.

It's just that this Li Xiao, even if he has the ability, is now stationed in this remote fort, with few soldiers and no reinforcements, where can he jump! I sent troops this time, but I am determined to completely strangle this difficult guy who has been against Dajin.

If it can be done, it will not only be the flag master, but also the Great Khan's side, I am afraid that he will also favor me very much, and I will be rewarded with a generous reward。。。。。。

"Hmph, no matter how he got here, this is not something our army should think about at all! Do you think that this fort is garrisoned by Li Xiao, so you can excuse you from defeating the battle this time?! Aibali snorted coldly, and looked around the crowd hatefully, his eyes as fierce as knives.

"Minions don't dare!"

Everyone kneeling on the ground trembled, and the whole tent was silent in an instant.

"In this defeat, there will be so many soldiers, which greatly reduces the morale of our army. But who is it to blame, you say? Aibali's words were fierce, and the two deep scars on his face were particularly hideous.

"Master, the slave believes that everyone is responsible for the defeat of this battle, but the biggest reason lies in the Han army!"

Niu Lu Ezhen Chabulu raised his head and said loudly to Aibali.

"Where do you start with this, those who flee in a rout, the Jurchen and Mongolian soldiers are all there, how can I blame our Han army alone!" When Ban Zhifu heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and he was anxious to distinguish it.

"Humph! Why can't I blame you, at this time in the siege battle, compared to the Jurchen and Mongol soldiers, the Han army suffered the least damage, and it was the first to escape, this matter was seen with my own eyes, the squad leader, but you can't deny it! ”

Cha Bulu replied unceremoniously, squinting at Ban Zhifu's eyes, full of hatred.

He couldn't help but hate Ban Zhifu, if it weren't for Ban Zhifu's Han army being the first to flee, the Niu Lu soldiers under his command would not suddenly face Li Xiaojun's all-out attack, so that the damage was so serious, and only more than 80 of the 300 soldiers in the full formation fled back, which was already a great injury.

"Chabulu is right! These Han dogs, not my race, will have different hearts! Who knows if they had some shady deal with that damn Li Xiao behind their backs, so they escaped from the battle like this, mistook our fighter plane, and even caused my Jurchen sons to suffer from the enemy on their backs, so far defeated. ”

Talam on the side, seeing that there was an opportunity to put the responsibility on Ban Zhifu's head, naturally unceremoniously mended the knife.

The two Mongolian cows recorded the truth, and when they saw that the Jurchens had buckled the basin on Ban Zhifu's head, they naturally followed suit.

Ban Zhifu saw that everyone's spearheads were aimed at him, and they all wanted to use himself as a scapegoat, so he couldn't help but be anxious and angry, and he couldn't care about a lot, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Okay, after losing the battle, you are all counted on the head of my Han army." Our Han army is only a few hundred people, and your army has more than 2,000 people, even if a small number of Han troops escape, why not affect the overall situation? Hmph, if it weren't for General Shang's order, this general wouldn't have come to your troubled waters. ”

Ban Zhifu was really anxious, but his complaining words instantly ignited the raging anger of Jia La's true love for Bali.

"Leader Ban, what do you mean by this, do you think that your Han Army is not a member of my Dajin, and I can't call the blue flag?" Aibali snorted coldly, and his eyes were full of ferocity.

"Lord Jiala, that's not what the minion meant." Ban Zhifu knew that he was speechless, and he was very remorseful in his heart, and he was anxious to defend himself.

"Hmph, you don't have clever words, this official watched the whole battle, and he understands it in his heart. At that time, the general sent your troops to fight, and you were hesitant and dissatisfied, and then the Han army took the lead in breaking and fleeing, and the defeat of this battle was really the first reason. If there is no punishment, how to serve the public. Aibali made a final decision, and then slapped the table and shouted: "Come on, pull Ban Zhifu out of the tent and behead him on the spot!" ”

The two white-armored soldiers said yes, strode towards Ban Zhifu, dragged him from the ground, and dragged him out of the tent.

"Lord Kara, spare your life! The slave is wronged, and the slave is loyal to Dajin! Ban Zhifu's face turned pale and begged for mercy loudly.

"Pull it out!"

"Lord Kala! Even if the slave dies, he also has something to say, if he continues to attack like this, it will be difficult for our army to take this Jinjiazhuang Fort! When he was about to be pulled out of the military tent, Ban Zhifu shouted this sentence as quickly as possible.

"Oh,。。。。。 Come back. ”

Hearing Ai Bali's faint sentence, the two white-armored soldiers put down Ban Zhifu, and Ban Zhifu, who had won his life back from the brink of death, was weak and lay on the ground.

Ai Bali's stubby eyebrows jumped, and a sarcastic smile flashed on his face: "Since the class counselor said so, he would have wanted to hear the reason, and if he said it reasonably, he could be exempted from the death penalty." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Ban Zhifu walked forward on his knees, kowtowed again and again, and said: "My lord, please forgive the servant for being blunt, that Ming general Li Xiao has defended Jinjiazhuang Fort extremely firmly. If our army storms the city wall like this, it will be difficult to win except for self-inflicted soldiers. Unless there is another plan, otherwise, this Jinjiazhuang Fort has not been conquered, and our army is already in a difficult situation! ”

"Oh, listen to you, but what new plan does the class leader have?"

"My lord, I have been thinking about this plan for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to explain it to my lord. Now, I beg my lord to listen to the words of the slave. ”

"Speak!"

Ban Zhifu took a few steps on his knees, approached Jiala's true love Bali, and whispered his plan.

"Well, the class staff led this plan, but it was good. You Han people, you can't fight, but there are a lot of intrigues and tricks. Yes, this official is approved, if you break through this Jinjiazhuang Fort in the future, this official will be the first merit of your Han army. Ebali grinned.

"The slave represents all the Han army, thank you Lord Jiala." Ban Zhifu saw that his plan was adopted, and he was also overjoyed, and kowtowed to Jia La's forehead again and again.

.。。。。。。

Three days passed in a flash.

In the past three days, Li Xiaojun seized the time to reorganize his troops in order to prepare for the next battle.

In addition to the deaths of the seriously wounded soldiers in the past three days, in the last battle, Li Xiaojun's total number of casualties was 115 soldiers, 76 auxiliary soldiers, and a total of nearly 200 wounded are still being treated.

In order to replenish the loss, Li Xiao added nearly 200 auxiliary soldiers into the battle team, except for Lu Mi Gunner, because there was no extra Lu Mi Gun to use, so there were only 56 people left, and the remaining three teams of shield soldiers, five teams of spearmen, and 100 people were all replenished.

As for the weapons worn out by the shield soldiers and spearmen, Zhang Tongzhu's blacksmith shop, has also been urgently repaired, so that these new recruits can be used well.

Then, Li Xiaojun began to change his clothes, and gave priority to replenishing the captured armor to different ranks of soldiers according to the degree of sophistication.

The rampant team was all dressed in white fang-flare armor and fine iron armor.

All the spearmen were changed to iron armor, and only about one group wore cotton armor because of the lack of iron armor.

The shield men and the Rummy Men were all dressed in cotton armor.

The remaining 260 auxiliaries were all replaced with cotton armor to increase their defense.

As for the more than 200 pieces of cotton armor, Li Xiao put them on the Liaodong soldiers of Jin Dakui's department and the local Xuanfu soldiers of Du Shaoru's department. Li Xiao's generosity made them very grateful.

Although the battle to defend the city this time greatly boosted the morale of Li Xiaojun's entire army, Li Xiao knew that the really hard battle had not yet come.

What's next for the enemy?

This is a question that Li Xiao has been thinking about in the past few days.

He doesn't think that the enemy is so stupid, and he will always fight to the end with the same attack method as last time. So, what will they do, and what new siege methods will they use to attack?

No one can answer Li Xiao's question.

Li Xiao paced slowly on the cleared city wall, and he looked at the contiguous Tartar camp in the distance, his face as calm as iron.

In the past three days, the Tartars let the people carry soil and sand every day, and have filled in all the deep pits and trenches outside the north and south walls of Jinjiazhuang Fort. And Li Xiaojun, who was short of generals, did not send troops to drive away these people.

Rather than filling these deep pits and trenches with the corpses of the people, they should fill them up now.

After all, no matter what, these deep pits and moats are completely ineffective for the Tartar soldiers. Since it can no longer play a protective role, Li Xiao naturally does not need to spend more energy in this regard.

。。。。。。

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Xiao's whole army had just had breakfast, and from the enemy formation outside the city, the loud sound of the swan horn came from the enemy's formation, announcing that a new attack by the enemy army had begun again.

Li Xiao's whole army began to respond urgently.

It was also carried from the north and south with 10 siege ladders from afar. It's just that Li Xiao noticed that these teams carrying siege ladders have changed from the common people last time to the Ming army captured by the Tartars.

Tian Wei, the head of General A, had a teasing smile on his face: "Fuck, these dog tartars, it's fucking old again!" Okay, Lao Tzu will send you to the west like last time! ”

Tian Wei's words made the soldiers guarding the fort next to him laugh.

Every soldier felt that these Tartars were attacking like this again, and it seemed that the donkey skills were exhausted.

Li Xiaojun's optimism lasted only a short time.

"Look, what's that?"

A soldier looking out from the top of the fort suddenly said loudly.

Li Xiao held up the clairvoyant mirror and looked carefully, he saw that there were ten strange objects that were being pushed out of the Tartar array and slowly pushed towards the two city walls in the north and south.

Seeing these strange things, Li Xiao's entire army was full of consternation.

At this time, as the Tartars pushed closer and closer, Li Xiao finally saw clearly.

This strange-looking thing was made of four shield carts assembled together with two ends and two tails, and a large open space was left in the middle to hide from people. The top is nailed with thick wooden boards, and the wooden boards are covered with cowhide and wet quilts to prevent spills and ash bottles. From the whole appearance, it looks a bit like a car from later generations.

"What is this dog-in-the-Tartar doing with these things?" Tian Wei looked at these things that were getting closer and closer, and he was also very surprised.

These things, immediately following the siege ladder, swayed and approached the city wall, these things also slowly leaned towards the north and south fortress walls.

By this time, Li Xiao had finally understood its purpose.

"Dog-in-the-tartar! They want to dig down the walls! ”

Li Xiao's shout made all the soldiers guarding the fort unconscious.

Digging up the walls?

How could the enemy have such a trick?

"The city wall of Jinjiazhuang Fort is made of rammed earth, not covered with bricks, it is old, the interior has long been loosened, and the enemy army is attacking like this, but it is ruthless!" Li Xiao gritted his teeth and sighed.

"Master Li, if that's the case, what should I do?" Tian Wei next to him asked urgently.

"Quickly organize the soldiers of Jin Dakui's department and Du Shaoru's department, burn coal, and then dump the wall, and be sure to burn all these vehicles used to dig the wall!" Li Xiao gave an urgent order.

"Order!"

Li Xiao had just finished arranging, "Click! Click! The sound rang out, and the captive Ming army had put the siege ladder against the city wall and began to climb and attack the city.

The dung-water gold juice and the fluttering quicklime bottles fell almost simultaneously, and at the same time, the battering hammer began to smash the siege ladder.

Li Xiaojun's defensive cooperation this time was much more skilled than last time, and the enemy troops attacking this time were those Ming troops who were demoralized and captured, and it was rare for a few Ming troops to climb to the top of the city, and they were immediately attacked by Li Xiaojun's defensive task, which was very easy.

Li Xiao saw that a large number of captive Ming soldiers were scalded by boiling dung water on the city wall, and the scattered quicklime was even raised into a large area of deadly white mist, scalding to death or burning the eyes of these sprinkled captive Ming soldiers.

In a very short period of time, three siege ladders were smashed by Li Xiaojun, and the enemy troops on them fell screaming.

Only a few enemy troops climbed the city wall and were quickly assassinated by Li Xiaojun, who was waiting for him.

In this situation where everything seemed to be going well, Li Xiao's face was very grim.

He could hear the clanging chisel from under the walls of the fort.

Under the walls of the north and south forts, there were 5 such carts leaning against the wall, and the sound of chiseling was very harsh, and it seemed that the city wall under his feet was also shaking slightly.

Li Xiao understood the enemy's tricks.

Letting the captive Ming army attack the city wall was actually a feint, in order to contain their own forces. And digging the city wall underneath is the enemy's key attack.

Whether or not these tools can be burned in time has become the key to whether or not the fort wall can be preserved.

On the square inside the fort, An Qian led the people to light piles of coal, and after each pile of coal was burned, there were soldiers from Jin Dakui's department or Du Shaoru's department, which were respectively loaded in iron barrels, carried to the south wall or north wall, and then poured down from the top of the city wall.

There was plenty of coal in Jinjiazhuang Fort, and Jin Dakui and Du Shaoru ran frantically back and forth between the square and the city wall, constantly repeating the actions of loading coal and dumping.

At this moment, the Tartars, who were standing outside the trench, began to shoot light arrows again.

From time to time, there were Li Xiaojun's auxiliaries, Jin Dakui's troops, and Du Shaoru's troops fell from arrows. But now everyone is wearing cotton armor, and the number of dead and wounded is much lower than last time.

Eventually, five of these shield-powered vehicles began to burn and catch fire.

The people who were digging the wall under the tools did not dare to escape, and the Tartars outside ordered them to continue to speed up the progress of the excavation.

"Boom!"

One of these carts finally collapsed, smashing most of the people inside into meat sauce, except for a few who were burned like burning men, howling and running for some distance, and then falling to the ground and dying until they were burned to the ground.

Two more of these utensils were burned down one after another, and the people inside were also killed.

Finally, when the six wagons had been burned down, at the north and south city walls, there was a Tartar outside the carts, and the flag that the pit had been dug and placed was successfully dug to the main formation.

Seeing the flag coming, Ban Zhifu, the deputy chief of staff of the Tianzhu Army, was overjoyed.

He immediately ordered the two groups of Han soldiers who were carrying two long wooden boxes like coffins: "Wait and set off quickly, if you can successfully blow up the fortress wall, count it as your first merit!" ”

"Order!"

In the Ming Dynasty, such an explosive wooden box was used to destroy the city wall, and it was commonly used by the Ming army and the Liukou, and even in order to save trouble, the coffin was directly used to fill the explosives. A few years ago, in the battle of the counterattack on Dengzhou, King Wu Zhuangyuan came to hire, and it was an explosive wooden box made of such a coffin that successfully collapsed the city wall of Dengzhou, although he was immediately shot dead by the rebels, but let the Ming army finally successfully invade Dengzhou and wiped out the remnants of the Kong Youde rebels who had no time to withdraw.

Ban Zhifu found several craftsmen from the exiles, collected all the gunpowder and fire oil of the whole army, and used these three days to make these two blasting boxes with very powerful explosions.

This is Ban Zhifu's real killer feature.

The two teams of Han troops, carrying explosive boxes made of fierce fire oil and black powder, rushed towards the north and south city walls respectively.

After these Han troops, a large number of Tartar infantry, surrounded by the rolling tide of people, marched towards the fort wall of Li Xiaojun's fort, preparing to use the people to rush into the fort as a cover after the fort wall was broken, and attack the fort and slash and kill.

When Li Xiao saw those Han soldiers striding towards his own north and south fort walls with the wooden boxes like coffins, his face changed instantly.

Fooled!

I thought that the enemy army would only dig through the city wall so slowly, and they still had enough time to throw down the burning coal to snipe, but they didn't expect that they still had explosives!

"All the soldiers go down to the city! Jin Dakui and Du Shaoru continue to guard the city wall and block the enemy soldiers, so be careful that the city wall collapses! Li Xiao hissed and yelled.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After all the soldiers ran down the city wall, a huge explosion sound was heard from under the north and south fortress walls, which almost broke people's eardrums.

Li Xiao felt a violent shock to the ground under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.

He finally stood firmly, and through the dust that filled the castle, he was surprised to see that on the north and south city walls, there were two huge gaps that were both more than three meters wide!

Some of the soldiers of Jin Dakui and Du Shaoru, who had not had time to dodge in time, were hit by the strong air wave of the explosion, and fell into the air like pieces of paper, and then fell to the ground screaming, and died in a blur of flesh and blood.

"Haha, I've got it!" Ban Zhifu, the deputy chief of staff of the Han Army, looked proud, clapped his hands and laughed.

On the side, Jia La's true love Bali had an extremely excited expression, and his eyes were shining with greedy red light. Naked beauty.

"The whole army obeys the order! Ordered the people of the Ming Kingdom to rush forward, and all the infantry attacked the fort and razed Jinjiazhuang Fort to the ground! Chop the dog thief Li Xiao into meat sauce! Aibali raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted loudly.
