Chapter 620 Fighting Tiger Brothers, Father and Son Soldiers
In the city of Liaoyang, flags were flying.
Daishan stood under the banner at the top of the city, watching the Ming army set up camp in the distance, watching the Ming army file out of the camp, like ants, and began to dig deep ditches around Liaoyang City.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Do you want to imitate the Battle of Daling River? That Jiang Wan is nothing more than that!"
Beside him, his eldest son Yue Tuo looked solemnly at the Ming army in the distance. Before the Ming army besieged the city, he came to Liaoyang City with two thousand soldiers and horses with red flags at starry night.
The only support force from Beijing came.
While the other Baylors were still arguing about who should lead the army and how many troops each banner should send, Yue Tuo couldn't bear it anymore. After begging to see Huang Taiji alone, he finally got permission to let him take these two thousand soldiers with him.
people to reinforce Liaoyang.
It was a credit to him that he rushed here in a hurry, otherwise, if it had been a day or two later, after the Ming army came to the city, even if these two thousand people arrived, it would not be of much use except to increase the results of the Ming army.
The Ming army was divided into two camps, the east and west. Each camp had at least 10,000 people. Between the east and west camps, the Ming army seemed to have intentionally left a huge gap. In addition, the Ming army arrived at the bottom of the city.
, apart from starting to dig deep trenches, there was not even a large-scale attack on the city.
"We won the battle of Daling River!" Dai Shan looked at his son. His complexion did not look very good, but when he saw the Ming army outside the city, there was no trace of emotion on his face.
The fluctuations seemed to have been expected for a long time.
"It's just that now it's reversed. It's us who are surrounded in the city, but it's the Ming army outside the city!"
"It's useless!" Yue Tuo is not an incompetent person. Seeing the situation in front of him, he felt more relieved: "Ama, to be honest, if the Ming army attacks the city headlessly, maybe the child will still have some
I’m worried, if the Ming army arrives at the city with great momentum and plans to slowly siege the city like we did at Daling River, then I won’t be worried at all!”
"Oh, do you have a way to defeat the enemy?" Daishan looked at his son and shook his head slowly; "Together with the soldiers and horses I transferred from Xiguanbao, there are less than 10,000 soldiers available in the city, and the people outside are obviously
There are a total of 20,000 to 30,000 troops!"
"Why do we need to defeat the enemy!" Yue Tuo said confidently: "When we first besieged Dalinghe, the Ming army in Jinzhou sent several reinforcements, but Dalinghe City was completely defeated by us because of the reinforcements. There is no more
We have no choice but to surrender if we count on them, and if the Great Khan and my Eight Banners elites come to help, how can a mere 20,000 to 30,000 Ming troops be able to stop us!"
"The famous general Jiang Wan is not worthy of his reputation. If his troops are delayed for one more day at the gate, our chances of winning will be even better!"
"He is this guy who does not deserve his name, but he almost killed your Ama!" Daishan glanced at his son: "This man is brave and resourceful, and even you can see the situation.
There are many good soldiers and generals, how can you not recognize any of them?"
He looked at the busy Ming army outside the city: "I feel that the actions of the Ming army are not that simple!"
"Ama, you are overthinking!" Yue Tuo raised his head proudly: "There are these sixteen cannons in the city. No matter what the Ming army wants to do, as long as they walk into the range of the cannons, we must let them see them.
The power of these cannons that I bought with my own money. By the way, Ama, you have done a really good job in this matter. If the Khan were here and knew that you had collected so many Ming people's cannons, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so worried about Liaoyang.
situation!"
The corner of Daishan's mouth moved. He really couldn't say it in front of his son. It was because he personally encountered the firearms of the Ming army on the opposite side that he came to Liaoyang and began to pay attention to collecting and repairing these cannons. Even those Ming people who could fire cannons
He also treated the soldiers like treasures and did not allow other men under his command to bully, kill or kill them.
A few days ago, the Ming army's vanguard troops tested it. These surrendered Ming troops he collected and fired those several cannons on the city. He was very sure that it was because
With those few cannons, even if the Ming army arrived, they did not immediately start attacking the city.
The Ming army, who were good at using firearms, naturally knew how powerful firearms were.
Daishan and his son, one of them was at the top of the city at all times, guarding against the Ming army's attack on the city. Although Yue Tuo said he was not worried, he never relaxed for a moment about defending the city.
Whether it is the soldiers and horses with the red flag or the soldiers and horses of the Mengba Banner, they are all quite unfamiliar with the battle of defending the city. Without the familiar horses, their combat power seems to be compromised.
, not to mention the various strange defense equipment left behind by the Ming army in the city, many of which they had never heard of.
If you haven't even seen it, how can you talk about using it?
Fortunately, these soldiers and horses have attacked many cities of the Ming army in recent years. The previous attacks on Liaoyang are still vivid in their minds. Although they are not good at using these defensive equipment, they have been able to withstand these defenders.
When it comes to beating with city instruments, you can fiddle with your own experience of being beaten, which is somewhat useful.
As for how useful it really is, we have to wait until the Ming army attacks the city to see the true chapter.
But in the final analysis, we don't care about the equipment they use to defend the city. On this battlefield where lives are often at stake, the only things they can trust are the swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands.
But the Ming army was right under their noses, digging holes in full swing every day. It seemed that they were not given any chance to experiment with these equipment. The generals above were confident and not in a hurry, but the soldiers below were a little worried.
Became anxious.
Even many soldiers who had never fought against the Ming army began to scream and ask their generals to fight. According to their experience, the Ming army on the opposite side was only 20,000 to 30,000 men. With the soldiers and horses in the city now, they were dignified.
In field battles, the Ming army lost most of the time. It was really frustrating to be huddled in the city like this.
Regarding these howling soldiers, Daishan did not discourage them. Instead, he told the generals and soldiers below that they were waiting for the opportunity in the city, waiting for the army from Shengjing to cut off these Ming troops.
The way back, when that time comes, is when they leave the city and defeat these arrogant Ming troops.
The general said so, so the soldiers below naturally believed it.
However, as the Ming army dug holes outside the city for a longer time, these soldiers calmed down. However, Daishan himself looked at the two huge mounds of soil that the Ming army had built outside the city with excavated soil.
