In terms of pure military level, Yu Qian was not absolutely outstanding among the entire Ming Dynasty.
Even excluding those in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the stars were equally bright in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were good at short assaults, ambushes, and interludes. Yu Qian had never used them, and he would not be like Wang Yue in the Chenghua period.
, Wang Zhi and others marched thousands of miles away, caught him by surprise, attacked him unprepared, and broke through the royal court!
But there is no doubt that Yu Qian is a top-notch figure when it comes to boosting morale and overall planning.
Not only did it mobilize the people in the city, but it also arranged the people in the city properly, dividing them into groups to perform their duties, maximizing the use of the city's manpower.
"Immediately send an order to Yan Beikuan, Li Xingba, Ming Dao, Meng Wen, and Meng Wu to personally participate in the siege." Li Shi took a breath and sent out all his powerful generals.
"promise."
Yu Qian had been paying close attention to Yan Beikuan, and when he saw that he finally personally participated in the siege, his heart couldn't help but feel anxious.
Yu Qian knew that if he wanted to defend Tongtai, the biggest problem was not the enemy army that was ten times his own, but to stop the fierce generals like Yan Beikang. After all, no one in Tongtai City was his opponent at this time. It was no exaggeration to say that,
In today's Tongtai County, the only remaining generals combined are no match for the opponent.
Once they are allowed to climb onto the city tower and wreak havoc, more than half of the battle to defend the city will be lost.
Once the opponent is allowed to board the city tower, given their current situation, it will be difficult to expel such a fierce general. And once the opponent cannot be driven off the city wall in time, the enemy troops will continue to climb the city wall, and the city will eventually be unable to
Keep it longer.
After all, most of the fierce generals in the entire Zhendong Army system are now within Tianlang Pass, and many generals from Hebei Road, Yannan Road and even Xiping Road have been temporarily transferred there. Next, there are those in a special position.
Xiping Road is here, and there are a large number of generals stationed here.
The remaining generals were divided equally into Yannan Road and Hebei Road.
Even within the entire Hebei Road, the strong generals headed by Zhang Kui had to be nailed to the Wei Pass to guard the south passage to Henan Road.
And it is even more impossible for these generals from Hebei Province to gather in just one place like this!
However, although there are no generals in the city who can compete with Yan Beikuan, even if all of them combined are not Yan Beikuan's opponent, it does not mean that Yu Qian will be captured without mercy!
There has never been a saying in this world that there should be no war if a strong general cannot outmatch the opponent! Otherwise, the war would just be a battle between the strong generals of both sides, and there would be no need to fight for strength, strategy, commander-in-chief, or even national strength.

"Gather all the kerosene in the city and don't waste any more kerosene!"
"Once Yan Beikuan gets close to the city wall, use kerosene to force him back immediately!" Yu Qian ordered calmly.
The amount of kerosene in the city was limited, so it was necessary to use it sparingly. Fortunately, Yu Qian simply used all the kerosene against Yan Beikuan. Even if he couldn't be burned to death, he still had to minimize the threat to the opponent.
However, there were not many decent defensive equipment in the city, and now even the small amount of kerosene was concentrated, which invisibly put greater pressure on the defenders.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Although the pressure of defending the city increases with this arrangement, it is better than letting Yan Bei climb the tower crazily and eventually lose control at all.
Under Yu Qian's special targeting, Yan Beikuan managed to get close to the city wall every time, but before he could climb up the ladder, he was forced to flee by cans of kerosene.
The same situation also happened in the direction of the other two city gates. Even Li Xingba had several burn blisters on his back because he was splashed with kerosene, and his hair was also burned by the flames.
.
Fortunately, during the siege, the accompanying soldiers were carrying a large amount of sand and soil ready to extinguish the fire, so there was no danger, with only minor injuries at most.
"Hua Gong, now, our army has wasted nearly half a month under Tongtai County! But it has never been able to break through this city. I'm afraid it is not a good thing to be blocked here for a long time!" Gu Yeming looked at him with a confused expression.
In the middle, there is a hint of sadness without any trace.
The news I received today is not good news!
"Although Wang Ni's main force is gathered on the front line of Tianlang Pass in Yanbei, the troops in Hebei still cannot be underestimated. Not to mention, Han Xin and Han Chongyan are the biggest obstacle to our army at present. Commander Chu, the old emperor is a man of heaven,
But it failed at the hands of Han Zhongyan!"
Gu Yeming was not blinded by the mere small victory. Although they attacked more than a dozen counties in a row with lightning speed, that was because An Tianwu was the internal agent.
Afterwards, the successful encirclement and reinforcements were only defeated by the county soldiers from the two surrounding counties.
These victories do not mean that when they meet Han Xin's main force, it will still be so smooth. If they continue to be dragged here, they may really be delayed until Han Xin's main force arrives.
Hearing Han Xin's name, Li Shi's heart felt heavy. Today's Han Xin, I'm afraid not many people will feel relaxed after meeting him! Even the most famous generals in the world are the same.
However, now that Wang Yu's main force is concentrated in Tianlang Pass, this is their only chance. This is why Li Shikai would rather bear the infamy of future generations than choose to launch this battle at such a special time.
"Can Mr. Mingli send back the news?" Li Shikai asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Hey! Mr. Mingli's letter just arrived today. The traitor from Qingbei Road originally intended to move, but Da Feng from Tianshi Dao was also in Qingbei Road that day. In the end, he was stopped by the traitor from Da Feng!" Gu Yeming said seriously!
He sighed.
"Are those two thieves from Tianshi Dao and Qingbei Dao getting involved again?" Li Shikai said with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Humph! These two people are now inseparable. If one dies, the other will not feel better. What's the surprise that they get mixed up?" Gu Yeming snorted coldly.
Da Feng, a hidden figure in a random summons card. According to records, this person is the emperor's minister. And the identity implanted in him after he was born also became Xuanyuan Huang's minister. His surname was Da and his name was Feng.

"Guanzi·Five Elements" records, "The Yellow Emperor obtained the six phases and ruled the heaven and the earth, and the gods came to the fore. Chiyou understood the way of heaven, so he was the one at that time; Dachang was aware of the geographical advantages, so he was the one in Lin; Shelong discerned the east, so he was the one who was here.
Tu Shi: Zhu Rong is in the south, so he is Situ; Dafeng is in the west, so he is Sima; Hou Tu is in the north, so he is Li."
As one of the Six Phases of the Yellow Emperor, this one was also a famous heaven-level figure. He was sent by Xuanyuan Huang to contact King Wei, and that's when he happened to encounter such a thing.
