Chapter 1078: The Jurchens Gnashing Their Teeth (Page 1/1)

Mang Gurtai didn't have any confidence in attacking Gaizhou City, which was different from their Jurchens' usual siege of cities.

The reason why the Jurchens were invincible was because they encountered the Ming army infantry in the field. Dealing with the kind of Ming army that has no fighting spirit can naturally be invincible, but if it encounters the victory or defeat of the Changxing army, it is really difficult to predict.

Moreover, in the past, before the Jurchens attacked the city, they always had to capture a large number of Han people to consume the equipment to defend the city, and the captured Han people were dead, and there were cannon fodder such as Han army flags that could be used.

But today it is different, the Han people don't know where to go, and they haven't caught a few at all.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were exhausted in front of Xiping Fort, and this battle was completely fought by the Jurchens themselves.

Thinking about the performance of the Changxing Army in several Changsheng Island offensive and defensive battles, Mang Gurtai's heart was half cold.

At the beginning, the Changxing army only had thousands of men and horses, and they had no way to take Changsheng Island, but now that the Changxing army has grown, can Gaizhou City still be defeated?

Regardless of whether he can beat it down or not, Mang Gurtai will try his best. Even if it can't be defeated, let Gaizhou City ask Zhang Dou for help, only in this way can the Jurchens have the possibility of turning the tables.

But before the attack, Mang Gurtai made another difficulty, he didn't know whether he should attack the dock of Gaizhou City? Or directly attack Gaizhou City!

Ten miles outside the city, the wharf of Mang Gurtai had been carefully investigated, and warehouses had been built there.

The supplies of the Changxing army must have been all placed there, but the warships anchored in the open sea of Gaizhou made people look a little daunting.

The sheer size of the battleship alone gave it a sense of oppression, and if it were possible, Mang Gurtai was reluctant to approach these flaming monsters.

The city itself is not large, and the defenders in the city will not exceed 5,000. If you attack Mang Gurtai here, you still have a certain certainty, but what is the use of capturing a Gaizhou city?

Will Zhang Dou return to the army for the sake of a Gaizhou city?

After thinking about it for a long time, Mang Gurtai decided to attack the dock first, in case the Changxing army in Gaizhou City went out of the city when he attacked the dock, it would just give him the opportunity to raid the cavalry.

Ma Bao stood at the head of Gaizhou City for a long time before he took back the clairvoyant mirror, and Zhao Xiaosi, who had been standing beside him, opened his mouth and asked, "My lord! Jiannu should go to attack the docks, should we go out of the city to help them! ”

"Help what? There is Zhang Huan's kid on the dock, and Jiannu will definitely not be able to ask for benefits. Let's just use this time to strengthen the defense of the city, Jiannu will naturally storm Gaizhou City when he touches a nose blood, and you kid will be busy when the time comes! Ma Bao was very relieved about the dock, and he had no intention of sending troops to help.

On the huge battleship, Zhang Huan ordered softly: "The soldiers go ashore and don't defend along the dock, the battleship is ready, if Jiannu dares to come, give me a hard beating!" ”

When Mang Gurtai and his men approached the dock, the warships opened fire fiercely on the sea.

Hundreds of shells smashed into Mang Gurtai's men and horses, and before Mang Gurtai could order an attack, the battle was over.

Under the blow of such artillery fire, no soldier can attack indifferently. The ground trembled under his feet, and he couldn't stand still, let alone charge.

Mang Gurtai had no way to try again at night, first being blocked by thousands of soldiers in the fleet, and then the cannon fire of the fleet fell on the heads of the Jurchens again.

In the face of so many artillery, it was impossible to attack, and Mang Gurtai left more than 2,000 corpses and could only obediently come back to attack Gaizhou City.

Moreover, Mang Gurtai, who attacked Gaizhou City, did not dare to put all his troops into it, for fear that the fierce soldiers on the dock would sneak up on his back road.

After Zhang Dou learned that Huang Taiji had divided his troops, he ordered the Changxing army to advance towards the Jurchen Zhenwu Fort, and the Changxing army advanced very distinctively.

Instead of swaggering towards Zhenwu Fort, he sent people to dig a new trench in front of the trench at night.

In this way, the Changxing army was able to advance the battle line towards Zhenwu Fort by a big step, and if the Jurchen armor soldiers ignored it, the Changxing army would dig a trench again.

If the Jurchens contributed, the Changxing army would stop defending on the spot, and the Changxing army would already be handy in trench warfare, and the Jurchens would not want to grab any trenches without paying several times the casualties.

And even if they grab it, they won't last long, and the Changxing army will launch a surprise attack at night to recapture the trenches.

If Huang Taiji invested a large number of troops in the trenches, it would be a result that Zhang Dou was very happy to see.

Huang Taiji, who was tortured by just a simple defense, wanted to die, and he could only hope that Mang Gurtai's actions could be faster, and he must defeat Gaizhou, the supply point of the Changxing army.

In fact, Mang Gurtai had already tried all means to attack the city, and since all of them were cavalry, he could only make some ladders to overwhelm the city.

Soon this siege was defeated by the fire of the Changxing army and grenades, and then Mang Gurtai came up with another way to hit the city gate.

After finally smashing the city gate with great effort, Mang Gurtai found that the Changxing army had built an urn city at some point.

The Jurchen armor soldiers who rushed into the urn city did not have the slightest resistance at all, and were blown up by grenades falling from the sky.

These two methods didn't work, and Mang Gurtai came up with a trick to dig tunnels, but the groundwater in Gaizhou City was too rich.

There must be water below three feet, and the tunnel dug out by the Jurchens standing in the muddy water will be filled with water in less than one night.

In order to attack Gaizhou City, Mang Gurtai has already appeared a lot of gray hairs on his head, but Gaizhou City is like a hedgehog and has no way to speak.

Even if he forcibly attacked, his head would break and bleed, and as time passed, Mang Gurtai's heart cooled down little by little.

Not only him, but even the Jurchen armor soldiers could see that they couldn't capture Gaizhou City at all.

Chewing hard horse meat like a stone every day, the morale of the Jurchens was extremely low.

Many people are starting to miss their days at home and wonder why the comfortable life they used to have never returned.

Aren't the Han Chinese born slaves of their Jurchens? Why does this Changxing army fight them in disarray every time it appears?

Could it be that Changxingjun is really the nemesis of the Jurchens?

The demoralized Jurchens had no intention of attacking the city, and attacking every day was just a show. In this case, even Mang Gurtai didn't have a good way, and he could only delay it for a day.

Every morning is the most uncomfortable time for the Jurchens, and it is okay to eat a little horse meat that is not easy to digest.

If you use this as a staple food for all meals, you won't be able to defecate at all, and every time it comes to the moment of Gonggong, you can always see the Jurchens gritting their teeth.

This kind of day torments the nerves of every Jurchen, like a tense bowstring, which will break one day.
