"How can such a city be captured by a group of wild people who have just emerged from the old forest?"

Yang Feng looked at Liaoyang City in the distance and exclaimed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he knew that the Ming army fought very badly in Liaodong back then, but when he saw the majestic square city in front of him, he was still defeated by the group of wastes back then, although this evaluation was not very good for Dong Zhonghua and others who died in the battle, but he really couldn't think of how many people would have to die to conquer such a city in the era of cold weapons, under the condition of sufficient troops to defend, and under the condition of sufficient logistics supply!

This is the sense of déjà vu of Beijing!

"Grandpa's hard work, it's so bad!"

Yang Feng said sadly.

The surrounding group of generals all bowed their heads.

It's a shame indeed.

At this time, Liaoyang is not an ordinary city under the cover of Shenyang in later generations, this is the current first city in Liaodong, the circumference of the city is twenty-four miles, this concept is not direct enough, more direct is the upper half of the convex word in Beijing City, that is, the inner city of Beijing, the perimeter of Liaoyang City is basically the same as the inner city of Beijing, and the height is basically the same, slightly shorter but not put together can never be felt, are ten meters level.

Such a city, with the Prince River as a barrier to the north, and then let the wild boar skin be so easily conquered.

"Anyway, Yuan Yingtai has to be killed if he doesn't die!"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

Of course, there was no point in discussing any of this, and now he needed to figure out how he was going to conquer the city.

The invincible general of Shenwei bombarded the city wall and rushed in to kill, this is definitely not good, there are 20,000 defenders and 100,000 bannermen, they will turn Liaoyang City into a meat grinder, and the Ming army will not be killed or injured by thirty or forty thousand, and this casualty figure is something he can't bear. Change the flower bombs to keep bombarding the city, this is not good, he doesn't have so many flower bombs, this is not those small castles with a circumference of several miles, a half-meter flower bomb bombs bombarded half a street, this is a big city at the level of Beijing, take a cannon to raze such a city, before it evolves to the firepower level of World War I, it is still a province! Throwing incense jiao water to ignite shao bombs and setting fires, this is also useless, that has to use trebuchets, and there are a bunch of cannons waiting on Liaoyang City, and not to mention that they can't burn a few to death, so the Qing army is probably already prepared for this.

Yang Feng found that he had encountered a hard stubble.

He can defeat Liaoyang, but the casualties will be unbearable for him, after all, he doesn't have many troops in his hands now, and the tens of thousands of casualties in the Battle of Sanchahe have already made him very painful, and if he kills and wounds tens of thousands of people in Liaoyang, his descendants will be gone.

"Wai!"

He said viciously.

"Spread the order to all armies and build camps on the periphery of Liaoyang!"

Then he said.

This is the best way at present, now the Ming army is not afraid of field battles with the Qing army, and the Qing army does not dare to go out of the city, so just like in Guangning, completely surround here, and then carry out a protracted siege, before the arrival of winter, he does not need to worry about the transportation of materials, and the smooth waterway can ensure all the consumption of the front line.

As for the siege until winter......

I'll talk about it then.

"Your Majesty, some people who are anyway ask to serve in front of the army."

Just when Cao Youyi went to order the armies to set up camp, Liang Cheng reported to Yang Feng.

"Bring them here!"

Yang Feng said.

Soon Liang Cheng brought dozens of ordinary people with braids on their heads, these people were all young and middle-aged, and many of them had been on the battlefield at a glance, and after seeing him, they all knelt down on the ground and shouted long live in fear.

"Which of you is the coat?"

Yang Feng asked sternly.

More than a dozen of them looked at each other and quickly got down to plead guilty.

"You are very honest, are you convinced by my treatment of the coating? Don't be duplicitous, that won't do you any good. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Back to Long live, the minions are convinced, the minions have followed the Tartars many times before and have been enemies of the imperial army, and have also killed the king, long live to be able to spare the lives of the minions is already grateful, and how dare they be dissatisfied, and to be the slave of the Long Live Lord is small and supremely glorious, and the slave would rather be a slave for generations to come."

One of the coatings said.

"What's your name?"

Yang Feng asked.

"The slave's surname is Jin, the cheap name is Jin Fu, he is a traitor Jin Yu and his clan, Jin rebelled to the Tartar after being coerced and also surrendered to the Tartar, and later because he did not dare to be the enemy of the king on the battlefield and was condemned to the slave status as the yellow flag wrapper, His Majesty's army recovered Liaodong, the Tartars were panicked and chaotic, and the slave took the opportunity to escape with his family, and he was the enemy of the king division before, and he came to hope to serve in front of the army in order to atone for his sins."

The coat said.

"You're a smart man, so I'll give you this opportunity, how many people are hiding like you around here?"

Yang Feng said.

"Long live Hui, there are many things, since His Majesty's disposal of the people of Gaizhou anyway spread, the Han people like the slaves who are trapped in the Tartars have begun to run away, and the Tartars are now also afraid that something will happen if we stay in the city, so they are also thrown out, and even some have been killed, but those poor people were not given a grain of food when they were kicked out, and now many of them are starving and dying."

Jin Fu said.

In fact, this is the reason why they came out, the Qing army drove them out to avoid being like Gaizhou, and secondly, to save the already small amount of grain in the city.

"Get them all here, and I will give them a chance to take revenge."

Yang Feng said.

This was enough to solve the problem of his lack of troops, and to mobilize the coats and slaves to pay the blood debt to the Tartars, this kind of thing was very pleasant, these people were familiar with the situation, although it was not appropriate to let them be cannon fodder, but if they were to participate in the siege, they would still be happy. Including their family members, they can also camp in the surrounding fields, and when the time comes, give potatoes and corn seeds to every household, and let them take Liaoyang as the center and build a circle of dock forts around them, anyway, there are many castles abandoned by the Qing army around, and then they cooperate with the Ming army to firmly lock the banner people in the city.

If they don't starve to death this year, they will starve to death next year.

As long as they can't get out of the city, as long as they can't get food supplies, in the end they can only eat people like the defenders of Quang Ninh, in short, the Ming army doesn't have to fight with them, they are all mortal people, wouldn't it be better to consume them in this way. Think about a group of Eight Banners masters, trapped in the city by their Baoyi and Ahani, people are farming and fishing outside, but they can only eat their relatives in the city, and then scold these people for betraying them while eating, this kind of scene is very happy.

And these people are equally happy, there is land near Liaoyang that can be farmed, they eat enough outside, and then lie on the city wall in their leisure to see the masters of the year dying of hunger......

They'll be happy.

"Also, pass the decree, build another earthen wall outside Liaoyang City, encircle the entire Liaoyang inside, and then in front of the city gates, all the cannons, as long as there are Tartars who dare to go out of the city, they will bombard, and if there are not enough people, they will go to Gaizhou, and go to Liaoxi to recruit people, in short, we must pile up this circle of earth walls as quickly as possible, and garrisons are also stationed on the surrounding mountains to prevent the Tartars in the mountains from coming out to attack, by the way, and all the people who come to Liaoyang, one person will send a bag of corn seeds, which is the kind of land planted in Ningyuan with a yield of more than 1,000 catties."

Yang Feng said to Liang Cheng.

"Your Majesty, what about Shenyang? Still fighting? ”

Liang Cheng asked cautiously.

"Fight, of course you have to fight, but you have to fight in a different way!"

Yang Feng said.

Shenyang, this is the capital of our Qing Dynasty, since it is the capital, of course, there must be a way to play in line with its identity, although the current Shenyang City can only be regarded as a little brother in front of Liaoyang, the outer ring of the big copper coin is repaired by Kang Mazi, at this time Shengjing is just the square hole of the big copper coin, that is, the Shenyang Acropolis of the year, and then Huang Taiji rebuilt the four gates into eight gates, but the scope of the city wall has not changed much, and the actual perimeter is still maintained in the nine miles of the original Shenyang Acropolis, Compared with Liaoyang, which is twenty-four miles away, the size is naturally very clear.

The city has to be done by the emperor himself.

Soon the emperor's decree spread around through the clothes and slaves who came to serve, and the common people who were driven out of the city or escaped by themselves, and were starving in the surrounding areas immediately came in a steady stream, and after the necessary screening, they were immediately placed around Liaoyang, and the Ming army came to provide them with food, and then the emperor sent a batch of potatoes and corn seeds to them, and these people were stationed around Liaoyang

At the same time, the Ming army was responsible for guarding the defenders in the city, and some of the people who were transferred began to build walls on the periphery of Liaoyang.

It doesn't have to be too high.

It is enough to have a four- or five-meter earthen embankment, similar to the kind made when the Manchu Qing Dynasty forbade the sea, set up lookouts at intervals, pile up the forts directly opposite the city gate, and erect the cannon gates.

Don't underestimate these stupid methods, in the era of cold weapons, this is usually the most effective means of siege.

And the amount of work is not large.

Liaoyang City is half a mountain on both sides, and there is no need to build a wall in the mountainous area, in fact, there is only one and a half sides of the wall that need to be built, and it is not to say that the city wall in the real sense is built, it is an ordinary earthen embankment, which can survive this year's rainy period.

However, the Qing army in Liaoyang City did not react.

In fact, it's what they welcome.

Their task is to block the Ming army, and being trapped can be regarded as blocking in a sense, after all, the Ming army did not cross them to attack Shenyang, as for the future......

Let's talk about it later!

The city has enough food to last a year!
