Borrow the day to change the day

Daishan watched the noisy scene in the military tent, and patted the table hard.When they all calmed down and looked at themselves, they said: "Can you see the difference between Changli City and other cities?"

These Mongolian Tartars are not fools to be tribal leaders. When the troops were preparing, they had already visited Changli City.

Therefore, when Daishan asked, a leader replied loudly: "Lord Baylor, other cities don't seem to have the wooden raft at the head of Changli City."

Daishan nodded, and then explained the functions of the raft to them one by one.

These Tartars came empty-handed, and the siege tools in their hands were only ladders. Hearing what Dai Shan said, they couldn't help but look at each other. [

Seeing their expressions, Daishan was secretly proud, and then pretended to be inscrutable and said: "Don't worry, Ben Baylor has a way to capture the small city of Changli with only a ladder."

In the expectation of the Mongolian leader, Daishan explained his method.

First, shields are tied to both ends of the ladder to protect the soldiers climbing the ladder and reduce the damage to them from the battlements at both ends.

Second, don't spread the ladders too loosely. It is best that the ladders can be combined to attack the city.

These two methods are actually aimed at the wooden rafts placed at the head of Changli City, which can only attack the siege enemy through the crenels of the city wall, and the attack firepower is greatly weakened.

After Daishan explained, the leaders of various Mongolian ministries suddenly realized, and expressed to Daishan that they would go back to prepare again, transform the ladder, and select the first batch of siege warriors.Only after the preparations were completed, the four directions of the southeast, northwest and four directions attacked the city together, and captured this small county in one fell swoop.

Daishan nodded while listening to their plans, and then ordered the meeting to end.

Just when everyone in the tent was about to leave, someone broke in and stopped them.

Seeing the person coming, Dai Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "Oboi, why are you here?"

"Excuse me, Baylor, is this going to attack the city?" After Obai stopped the leaders of the various Mongolian tribes, he ignored them and asked Dai Shandao directly.

"Isn't it siege? Is it hunting?" Isn't this obvious, there is no need to ask.

"So the persuasion to surrender failed? Where is the person who persuaded him to surrender?" Obai asked hastily.

Ah, persuading to surrender, since Daishan saw the army of Mongolian servants coming, he had long forgotten about persuading him to surrender.After Oboi mentioned this, he realized that the matter of persuading him to surrender has not yet been resolved.

"Why do you ask the person who persuaded him to surrender?" Daishan felt that Oboi didn't really care about the success of the persuaded surrender, but came to the person who persuaded him to surrender.

"The Great Khan has an order to recover those who persuaded them to surrender. They must be well protected and sent back to Yongping." When Oboi mentioned the Great Khan, he was as solemn and respectful as ever.

"Why?" Daishan didn't understand, isn't that just a Han dog.

The leaders of the various Mongolian ministries present did not know about the persuasion to surrender. Seeing that Dajin attached great importance to it, they all paid attention to it. Don't stop fighting. If Changli is persuaded to surrender, they will lose their share of the city's property.

"This man is proficient in firearms and can make Hongyi cannons." Oboi replied.

When Daishan heard this, he realized the importance of the Han dog, so he ordered the Mongolian tribesmen to take the lead in preparing for the siege, and then sent his confidant Dai Song'a to the dignitaries in Changli. [

Since the arrival of the Tartar army last night, the city of Changli has been preparing for battle.The number of township soldiers on duty at night has doubled to prevent Jianlu from attacking the city overnight.

Fortunately, it happened overnight, and early the next morning, the Tartar camp began to make noise. The city leaders of Changli thought that the Tartars were going to attack the city, so they entered the first level of combat preparation.The villagers all wondered in their hearts what the new Tartar was up to.

Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan stood on the watchtower, looking at the Tartar camp in the distance, seeing the noise of the Tartar camp just now, he was afraid that there would be a siege battle on an unprecedented scale.

Changli City has held firm for six days, and the supplies in the city are being consumed rapidly.It was originally a small city, and the living supplies in the city were limited. When the war broke out, people from all around went to the city to take refuge. Who could bring as much food with them when they fled, which added to the burden on the small city of Changli.

Fortunately, the squires in the city are reasonable and understand big things.Now a lot of money and food have been donated to maintain the stability of Changli City.

But Zuo Yingxuan knew that such days could not last for a few more days.Ordinary people can still live by cooking porridge and hanging their lives, but the soldiers defending Changli, including the civilian husbands who support the war, cannot just eat porridge.

Jianlu's siege ability is relatively poor, and according to Zuo Yingxuan's observation, Jianlu doesn't have the heart to fight to the death, otherwise Changli might not be able to persist until now.

Looking at the movements of Jianlu outside the city in the past few days, Zuo Yingxuan felt that Jianlu must take Changli.

Zuo Yingxuan was secretly anxious. The Jianlu troops outside the city were getting stronger and stronger, and the supplies in the city were getting less and less. When will the reinforcements from the court come?

That day, after Mingjun Ye Bushuo showed up for a while, he heard from him again.Zuo Yingxuan thought about sending people to ask for reinforcements, but the hope of breaking through the encirclement and interception of Jianlu was slim.

Moreover, Zuo Yingxuan was not like those rural soldiers. He was in the officialdom and knew more things than them.

Changli is just a small county town, with officials from the imperial court or relatives of the emperor and other people included.In the case of the people in the court, it is a question of whether they will send out a large army to rescue this small city with only ordinary Liming people.After all, there are as many as [-] to [-] Tartars outside the city, which is enough to make ordinary people fear.

Let's just pretend that there is no imperial reinforcements, confront the Tartars, and keep it day to day, Zuo Yingxuan secretly made up his mind.Then, after tidying up his appearance, he went down from the watchtower and began to inspect the situation in the city.

On the city defense, Shi Guozhu was watching. He was on duty yesterday, and the Jianlu didn't move, so he rested in the watchtower for a while. Just now, the Jianlu made a fuss, so he went to inspect the city defense again.Zuo Yingxuan thought in his heart, if he could keep Changli one day, he must lift him up.

Zuo Yingxuan first inspected the situation of the civilians supporting the city head in the city. They were all in their positions and stayed not far from the city.

Then Zuo Yingxuan went to see the porridge distribution in several main streets.Although the porridge is not the kind of thin porridge that can reflect the silhouette of people, it is not that the porridge can not be inserted into the chopsticks.There is no way, the food is limited, so we have to save some.

When Zuo Yingxuan was walking to the next soup kitchen, he suddenly heard a child's voice from a street corner: "Grandma, I'm hungry."

"Hey, grandma still has some porridge here, you can drink it." An old voice came with a hint of weakness.

"No, it's from grandma. Yue'er can't drink it." The child's voice said firmly.

Zuo Yingxuan stopped in his tracks, listening to the movement on the street corner over there.

"Grandma, I want the porridge over there, there are a lot of them."

"No, there are others who want to drink the porridge over there. The county lord said that there is not much food in the city, so each person can only drink so much." The old man patiently explained to her granddaughter. [

"But I saw an uncle asking for a lot, grandma..." the little guy called grandma in a long voice.

"Be good, that uncle is going to help your father beat the tartars outside the city, and he will have the energy to do things when he is full. Be good, grandma can't finish this porridge, can you help grandma drink it?" The old grandma Kindly coaxing his granddaughter.

"No, Yue'er heard grandma's stomach rumble. Father told Yue'er before that this is because the stomach needs to eat." The little girl was not so easy to coax, and insisted on refusing to drink the porridge from grandma.

Zuo Yingxuan heard this, walked over quickly, turned the corner of the street, and saw a row of old and weak lying under the eaves, an old woman and a girl were eating a bowl of porridge with each other.

He understood that these people were in Changli, where it was difficult to escape, and it was overcrowded, so they rested on the side of the street.

Zuo Yingxuan approached quickly, then knelt down and asked, "Old man, where is the father of this child?"

The old woman saw that the person in front of her was the county lord, she struggled to get up, and dragged the girl to see the county lord.

Zuo Yingxuan hurriedly helped them up and said, "Old man, don't be too polite, what the Ming Dynasty values ​​is respecting the old and loving the young."

Seeing that she couldn't go on worshiping, the old woman had no choice but to sit back and said: "The child's father was selected as a village soldier and guarded on the top of the city."

Zuo Yingxuan looked at this girl, with two small braids, her delicate little nose was a little red from the cold, she looked about three years old, and her big eyes stared at him with twinkling eyes.

"Uncle Xianzun, can you give me some porridge, grandma and I are both hungry." The little guy said suddenly.
