Chapter 149: Shimen Village (changed to four changes today)
The Han soldier confessed that they came from Shimen Village!
Qin Shuhuai, Zhao Shujiao, Li Decheng and others first looked at each other after hearing this, and then laughed at the same time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In this way, Huang Taiji really hit the plan, and he should have led the army back to Daankou at this moment!
Because of the sudden location of Shimenzhai, once there is an incident, the Jin army will not be able to rescue immediately, Huang Taiji must be worried that in case the Ming army comes to attack, relying only on the five hundred Jin soldiers and two thousand troops in the city will inevitably repeat the mistakes of Luo Wenyu, so simply let all the defenders in the city withdraw and go to Da'ankou to converge.
And these Houjin troops were probably afraid that they would run into the Ming army that had already arrived at Da'ankou by taking the main road, so they chose to take a small road and bypass near Catfish Pass, thinking that they would be safe.
If you want to die, it just so happens that Qin Shuhuai is also afraid of running into the Houjin army who came to help, and in line with the principle of running really exciting in Da'ankou show, he also chose to take a detour from near Catfish Pass to Shimen Village.
So, the two groups of people met without warning.
It's all fate!
Thinking of this, the three of them burst into laughter again.
After a short rest, the army did not dare to stay longer, and immediately counted the men and horses and set off again. As for those unlucky soldiers, they are about to be tired into dogs, and they have to carry back the things that the Tartar soldiers have robbed, but this time there are half fewer people, and the weight on everyone's body has naturally doubled, and the tired green tendons are exposed.
The army marched all the way and arrived at Shimen Village at noon on the third day of November.
In the Shimen Village, there are 2,000 Ming troops stationed. The original garrison Chen Ji not only lowered the Houjin, but also shaved his hair, since the governor to the present, even if he surrendered to the Ming army, it would be difficult to escape death, so with the feeling of a dead fish, he was determined to fight to the death.
Several of his henchmen also spread rumors in the army, inciting the defenders in the city to resist desperately on the grounds that "as soon as the Ming army enters, everyone who shaves their hair will die".
Therefore, when Zhao led the sect to Shimen Village, the gate of Shimen Village was closed, and the soldiers were all in full array, and not a single soldier surrendered.
Zhao Shujiao couldn't help but be angry, and scolded in the tent, "I'd rather surrender slaves than kings, what kind of face do these dogs have to survive in the world! When the city is broken, the old man will definitely cut them with a thousand knives!"
Immediately ordered people to cut down huge trees and make siege tools. In addition, he sent people to call for battle outside the city.
"The king has arrived! Open the city gate quickly! The king has arrived, open the city gate quickly!"
But no one paid any attention to him.
Qin Shuhuai came to the city and saw that the heads of the soldiers on the city were all bare, only a thin rat tail braid on the back of the head was messy in the wind, so he probably knew what was going on.
Psychological warfare, he's still good at this.
So he immediately drew a drawing, called a few sergeants who knew how to carpenter, and asked them to make it immediately. This thing is also simple, it's just a small cylindrical thing with a big mouth on the outside and a small cylinder on the inside, Qin Shuhuai told them that this is called a megaphone.
The megaphone was quickly made, and Qin Shuhuai called a few more soldiers who surrendered, and asked them to take the megaphone to the city to shout.
The guards cautiously asked, what should I shout?
So Qin Shuhuai cleared his throat and demonstrated it in person.
"Listen to the brothers in the city, you are surrounded! Surrender is your only way out......! Ahh Look at us, although we surrendered to Jiannu, it's not good, right?"
"Brothers, think of your relatives, your family, who are still at home waiting for you to return. Surrender is the decision of your commander, and it has nothing to do with you! They betray the Ming Dynasty and will surely die, so they want to drag you to die together, do you still want to die for such a commander?"
After thinking about it, it seemed that something was missing, so I added a few more words.
"Chen Ji, you bastard! You are not human! You take your sister-in-law to eat and drink spicy food, but let the brothers work for you here!"
After shouting a few times, I felt good about myself, so I let the guards start to memorize. After the guards had a meeting, they were asked to hold a "megaphone" and a big shield under the city wall and shout non-stop, "playing" these sentences in a loop.
Chen Ji, who was on the city tower, couldn't help but be angry when he heard the shouts from the city. Especially when I heard the paragraph of "I took my sister-in-law to eat and drink spicy", my beard trembled with anger. People shouted and scolded in front of the battle, they all scolded the old horseman, the old turtle and the like, and I had never heard of talking about my sister-in-law! What was even more unfortunate was that I really had a little sister-in-law, and I did accept her as a concubine, and I don't know how this group of bastards knew!
In a fit of rage, he immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows. But those soldiers are hiding behind the big shields, where can they shoot?
I have to say that this trick is still effective. The low-level soldiers in the city surrendered to the Tartars out of desperation, but now that the Tartars are gone, and the king is here, who doesn't want to return to the Ming Dynasty?
Originally, their fighting spirit was not high, but they had heard a few fools before, saying that those who shaved their hair would be killed, so they were determined to resist. However, just now I heard the shouts outside the city that shaving your hair will not kill, and seeing with your own eyes that those Han soldiers in Houjin are also safe and sound, I was suddenly a little shaken.
The sins of those Han soldiers are much greater than ours, and they are not dead, so we don't have to die.
The soldiers were all ready to move, but because of the total pressure of a few bullets, no one dared to act rashly.
After several hours of rushing work, the Ming army outside the city made a siege pestle from a giant tree. This kind of siege pestle is very simple, it is to take the main trunk of the giant log, round it in front, and then press the handles that can be lifted on both sides. When attacking, it is carried by dozens of strong soldiers, and the front is protected by shield soldiers, and after rushing to the city, the soldiers carrying the siege pestle move in unison, and work together to hit the city gate with the siege pestle.
Qin Shuhuai and Zhao Shujiao both thought that the fighting spirit of the troops in the city was extremely low, and they expected that there should not be too fierce resistance, so in the absence of other siege tools, in the afternoon, they decisively ordered the army to attack the city.
The first to charge were two hundred heavily armored infantrymen, the strongest of whom were forty men in charge of using siege pestles. The remaining 4,000 Ming troops stood only 300 meters away from them, and if the defenders of the city left the city or the city gates were smashed open, they would immediately rush up.
Chen Ji naturally did not dare to open the door to meet the enemy, so he only let the soldiers fire arrows and pour hot oil on the city. However, the two hundred Ming troops came prepared, except for the forty pestlemen who smashed the door, everyone else brought large shields, and when they arrived at the city, they were held up like umbrellas, and the defenders at the head of the city had no choice, and they only killed and wounded a dozen of them after working for half a day.
Don't say they can't help it, even if they have a way, those defenders are not willing to do it.
"Hey, ha, hey, ha!" shouted forty strong men.
"Boom, boom!" the door shook incessantly, and the dust on it kept kicking down.
Behind the city gates, hundreds of defenders stood weakly behind the city gates, puffing and spitting dust that fell into their mouths.
Behind them, a sword that was always shaking the white sword and shouted hoarsely, "Hold on! Brothers, hold on! Lord Chen said that as long as we survive this wave, the Dajin Army will soon come to save us, and everyone will be rewarded at that time!"
Everyone sneered in their hearts. Will those Tartars come to save us? If they do, we'll be able to run away on our own? What about the three-year-old doll?
An old soldier got tired of hearing this, and quietly flicked the big bolt behind the city gate, but the big bolt was heavy and not so easy to move. This move was seen by the other defenders behind the door.,Soon it spread.,Everyone, you dial it.,I'll dial it.,At first, it was still quiet.,Later, I found out.,Hey,Everyone wants to open the door?
So they gritted their teeth, and everyone worked together to pull out the two latches at once.
The gate slammed open, and the forty pesticilists outside the gate slammed into each other, so that they staggered and fell to the ground.
Looking at the city gate with a confused face, they all thought to themselves, what is the number of roads?
But when they saw the soldiers guarding the door, they all knelt down and shouted, "Welcome the king into the city!"
