There is enough food and grass in the military fort to support everyone for a month. However, whether the Ming army can survive in the wilderness for a month is a question.
Moreover, the news has been sent to Shengjing. When he learned that the Ming army was invading, even if the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners guarding Shengjing were stationary, the Great Khan would definitely gather a support force to support Zhenjiang. Fort.
When the time comes, the inside should be coordinated with the outside. No matter how many trenches the Ming army outside the city digs, these are just graves they did not dig themselves.
Feng Wanli was not in a hurry.
Because he saw with his own eyes the enemies from the south entering the military fort.
He knew that his commander not only mobilized the soldiers and horses of Pidao, this time, even the Tatar troops and horses were mobilized. Everything was as the commander expected. The Tatar troops and horses in North Korea actually took the initiative to get in. Got into a trap.
Yes, this is a huge trap.
If he simply wanted to capture Zhenjiang Fort, Feng Wanli would have been 100% sure that he could capture it before the Tatar reinforcements arrived.
The Ming army gathered at the city under his command had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from Huwei Camp and Huben Camp. These were the two most powerful battalions in Pidao, and no matter how powerful the enemies in Zhenjiang Fort were, they were no more than One to two thousand people.
In fact, after these days of harassment and counter-harassment by the opponent, he even judged that there should be no more than a thousand Tatars in Zhenjiang Fort. Otherwise, the opponent's attack on him would be larger and more frequent. More.
He cooperated with the Tatars in Zhenjiang Fort to perform such a scene, and he was waiting for this moment.
At night, the trenches from the southern city gate sounded the movement of the Ming army again. When it dawned the next day, Dawu'er, Qi Wu and others on the top of the city suddenly discovered that the three trenches were neatly arranged. Under the city, the trench in front of the south city gate not only communicates with the trenches in other places, but the nearest trench has even advanced to a stone's throw from the city head.
The Ming army's siege trenches were finally encircled.
"The Ming Army is crazy!" Daul muttered to himself. He couldn't believe his eyes. To achieve such a result, the Ming Army mobilized at least a thousand people to work all night last night.
And since they had been able to do this for a long time, why did they wait until reinforcements arrived in the city?
He expressed his doubts, but Wei Qi had a sneer on his face. He understood the Ming army's intention.
"Old Jiu, do you want to go out to attack the Ming army?" Obai looked at the Ming army under the city. There were trenches in front of him, and there were many people in the trenches. This made him who was used to fighting the enemy with iron horses and flying arrows quite uncomfortable. Look down on the Ming army's cowardice.
"Sir, your subordinates have been harassing the Ming army!" Daul said: "If the Ming army hides in the ditch and does not go out to fight, our sons will really not be able to do their best!"
He said naa: "Moreover, the Ming army's trenches have been formed, and the harassment at this moment will not have much effect!"
"Wei Qi and I are participating in the discussion, do you have a say?" Obai looked at each other with disdain: "Or are you teaching me how to fight?"
"Don't dare!" Daur lowered his head, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
"No need, let people prepare the equipment to defend the city!" Wei Qi shook his head: "Wait until they die on their own!"
However, from that day on, the Ming army seemed to have forgotten about attacking the city, and everything was peaceful both above and below the city. Until the third day, the watchmen on the top of the city sent word that a group of troops came from the south.
"It's them!" Wei Qi breathed a long sigh of relief: "I know what the Ming army outside the city is waiting for. They are waiting for this Ming army. It seems that they plan to join forces!"
"Stupid!" Oboi commented: "This is obviously to achieve our reputation. I have seen people seeking death, but I have never seen anyone seeking death like this!"
He looked at Wei Qi: "Fight, Lao Jiu, I'm almost going crazy!"
"You think I don't want to fight?" Wei Qi looked at Obai: "No matter how incompetent Zhuo Butai is, he is still my biological son. Don't I want to avenge his murder?"
"I thought you had forgotten this matter?" Obai said coldly: "While they are not yet firmly established, I will attack them!"
"The Ming Army thought so too. If you go out, you will play into their hands!" Wei Qi shook his head: "Zhenjiang Fort was built by the Ming Army. What they are good at is relying on city defense. We should let them have a taste of themselves.
It's a trick, don't be impatient, hold on, we can win!"
At the Ming Army camp under the city, Jiang Wan led Li Zicheng, Jiang Yanran, Mei Xiaofei and others into the Ming Army camp. Zhang Zhulin, Tan Chun, Kong Youde and others who had already been subordinated to Feng Wanli were all in the camp.
Greeted at the door.
"Commander, you are finally here!"
Feng Wanli was the first to greet him: "Brothers, we are all depressed. If it weren't for the commander's order, I would have ordered the massacre of this city!"
"Do you think so too?" Jiang Wan looked at everyone with a smile, and everyone laughed.
Entering the camp, Jiang Wan sat in the commanding position without hesitation, and the generals sat on either side. Even Jiang Yanran, because she had given herself the title of Commander of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Marine Regiment, could be ranked among the generals.
Once you get into a position, you no longer have to make up the numbers as a family member like before.
"According to the commander-in-chief's order, Zhenjiang Fort has now been surrounded by our legions, and three trenches have been dug and connected at intervals to ensure that the Tatar cavalry has no place to fight under the city!"
"Not bad!" Jiang Wan praised: "Have you tried to attack the city?"
"Well, it really doesn't happen!" Feng Wanli glanced at Jiang Wan with a grimace: "I'm not afraid that if I accidentally capture it, I'll miss the commander's big event!"
All the generals under the tent had knowing smiles on their faces. If it weren't for the discussion in the army, everyone would have burst into laughter.
"Where's the food and grass?"
Jiang Wan asked Feng Wanli: "I ordered Fan Zhen to transport grain and grass with all his strength after sending Huwei Camp and Huben Camp ashore. Is there anything wrong?"
"The army's food and grass can currently last for half a month!" Feng Wanli said: "Moreover, food and grass are constantly being delivered. However, once the weather turns cold and the sea freezes, our food and grass will be interrupted!"
"We can't wait until then!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "But we have occupied the Zhenjiang Fort in front of us. We can supply food and grass from North Korea, and we don't have to rely on Pi Island!"
"Commander please give the order!"
Feng Wanli bowed and said: "As long as the commander gives the order, I will take this fort for the commander!"
"We are all already trapped, don't worry!" Jiang Wanzhizhu said: "Continue digging trenches all the way to the city. It will only take a while to capture this military fort, so why let the soldiers work hard!
Half a month is enough for us to dig down this military fort!"
Still digging!?
Feng Wanli looked at the generals under his command. Just like him, they all had grim faces and looked extremely depressed.
