100 The Killing Weapon of Jianzhu
"Mr. County Master said that reinforcements will arrive soon, we will just stick with it!"
"Are there any reinforcements? That's great!"
“…”
Zuo Yingxuan faintly heard these excited words and frowned. He immediately turned to Liu Yahai Run who was protecting him and said, "Go and see what's going on?"
"Yes, sir!" Liu Yahai promised and quickly went down the arrow tower.
After a while, Liu Yajiao came back with a gloomy face amid the cheers of getting higher and higher, saying, "The people in the city are rumoring that reinforcements are coming, and they are the general general of Shanhaiguan Zu. The villain checked and found that it was... it was... the rumors spread by the woman in the villain's house!"
He has always been by the county master. He can be sure that the county master has never said such a thing, so he can confirm that Liu Wang's rumor is spreading rumors as soon as possible.
Speaking of this, he suddenly knelt down, looked up at Zuo Yingxuan, and said earnestly: "The villain has just beaten her, but the villain is incompetent in discipline. But the wife is not knowledgeable and ignorant. Please punish the villain!"
Zuo Yingxuan figured out what was going on, and his brow frowned immediately. However, before he could express his opinion, Li Shiqi whispered: "County Master, look!"
Zuo Yingxuan heard the sound and turned around and saw that the morale of the strong people guarding the city walls had increased significantly. They were originally exhausted and seemed to have become more alive again. Jianlu was forced to no avail at all.
It is obvious that this rumor is very beneficial to the current defending the city. Zuo Yingxuan turned around silently, saying without hearing any emotion: "Get up!"
After saying that, he turned to look outside and focused on the battle situation. But he sighed in his heart that it would be great if reinforcements really came. However, it would be impossible to say that reinforcements were Zu Dashou's Guanning Army.
A few days ago, Zu Dashou actually didn't even guard the capital and ran back to Shanhaiguan overnight. How could such a person come to save this small county town?
This rumor is just a drinking poison to quench your thirst. If you don’t see reinforcements coming, your morale will become even lower. Hi, Liu Wang, Liu Wang, you really have a problem with our county. How should you deal with this matter afterwards?
Outside the city, Ajige saw the morale suddenly rising on the top of the city, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. After waiting for a while, after some subordinates came to report the news he heard, he couldn't help but laugh, obviously not believing it.
However, when he finished laughing, he ordered the siege to step up and fight with one go, and sent a siege to scatter ten miles toward Shanhaiguan.
The war in Changli continued to be fierce, and in the capital, the war began.
Hu Guang was in the arrow tower, listening to the sound of drums from the Jianlu camp, and watching countless Jianlu emerge from the camp gate neatly. It has to be said that Jianlu’s military records are really good, at least in the marching queue, they are much better than the Beijing camp.
On the top of the city, military orders were passed down from Mangui, and the soldiers on the top of the city began to move.
Hu Guang walked to the rear to take a look. On the spacious street, thousands of soldiers selected from the Beijing camp had gathered. Behind them, there were still thousands of civilians. The soldiers from the Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Captain looked at them, and shouted loudly to queuing up and stand.
He also saw factory guards slowly gathering here in the distance.
It can be seen that among these civil and military teams, there were different dresses, including servants from various prefectures, as well as refugees and poor people who were fully patched, etc. The rebukes from the factory guards mainly targeted the servants from the brocade, so that they could settle down. At the same time, there were several factory guards who were loudly saying something loudly, attracting many civil and military managers to look over. Many of the people who heard it were excited on their faces.
Hu Guang could probably guess that it should be the one who declared that the city was outstanding and would have the opportunity to become a Dongchang player.
Along the way, you can see a team of soldiers pushing a catapult cart towards this side. It seems a bit heavy and is moving slowly. This should be the worker from the Ministry of Works to build one and then send one over.
Hu Guang was watching the overall situation on the top of the city. Although the city was a little panicked, there was no big problem. He could barely be in order and everyone should do their own jobs!
He walked back to the outside and looked out of the city. In just a while, the Jianlu army that had deployed its formation outside the camp had exceeded 8,000, and Jianlu was still emerging from the camp gate.
The Jianlu outside the camp gate are roughly divided into three square formations. They are almost the same arrangement. The ones in the front are mostly Jurchens and Mongolian Tartars wearing leather armor. These people basically cannot see long weapons on them, but they only carry long step bows on their backs.
Behind these Tartars were teams of soldiers. Hu Guang knew that most of these people should be from Han slaves. They would also be cannon fodder for Jianlu's first wave of siege. Then Chen Er might be among these people, I hope he can live a good life!
Behind the Sizhu were well-equipped Jianlu. These Jianlu were carefully selected in terms of body shape and belonged to the type of charge.
There were also teams of cavalrymen who ran out of the camp gate from time to time and gathered on both sides of the square formation one after another. The rumbling sound of horse hooves mixed with the sound of drums that made the battlefield look even more desolate.
Suddenly, there were teams of Jianlu camp coming out of the Jianlu camp. These Jianlu pushed cars one by one and arrived at the front of the square slowly and very eye-catchingly. The number was enough to make people shocked.
Under the winter illumination, the shield reflects the metallic luster. It is obviously made of iron, at least covered with iron sheets, which is far from comparable to the carts that Ajige temporarily created to deal with the front of Changli city.
When the Beijing Admiral Li Fengxiang saw it, he was not surprised but happy. He hurriedly approached Hu Guang and introduced: "Your Majesty, the shield on the Jianlu car is made of thick wooden boards covered with cowhide and iron sheets. Jianlu's requirement for this kind of car is that small bricks and stones will not move, large bricks and stones will not be hit, and firewood will not be thrown out. For firearms such as our Ming Dynasty, the defense is also very effective and it is basically difficult to penetrate. It is a major killing weapon for Jianlu!"
When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately looked at Li Fengxiang with a little curiousness. He didn't expect that Li Fengxiang, who was useless in his mind, could know so much.
When Li Fengxiang saw it, he was immediately happy. It seemed that he had a bet right. The news he heard from Man Gui could win His Majesty's favor.
He was even more motivated at this time and hurriedly introduced to Hu Guang: "There are regulations for Jianlu that in every ox record, every 100 people must be equipped with four such chariots, operated by thirty people. Jianlu relied on this chariot to capture our Ming city many times and break the military formations assembled by our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Jianlu had military orders to not fight if he had no chariots when encountering an enemy, and there were even cases where generals were punished for not carrying chariots during the battle."
