Borrow the day to change the day

At the head of Changli City, the defense of the city head without wooden rafts is very difficult. The archers of the Tazi are really not built, and they shoot up concentratedly, so that the town soldiers at the head of the city can't raise their heads to fight back.

The Tartars under the city were tired of shooting a batch, so they retreated and changed to another batch to shoot again, so that they could shoot continuously.The arrows seemed to be free of money, covering a large area in the city.

Many of the city and town soldiers in these areas saw the heads of Tartars on the ladders, but luckily they were all shot down by muskets.

Today's musketeers don't have to stand up and aim at all. They estimate the direction of the bow and arrow. They just stick out their muskets and shoot, and there will be screams from the city.

The leaders of the township soldiers in these places felt that they could not hold on anymore, so they sent someone to the county lord to ask for instructions on using the ultimate weapon, but Zuo Yingxuan still disagreed after observing and considering, and asked them to use golden juice. [

The inside of the city wall had already boiled human and animal feces and urine in a cauldron. After hearing the order from the yamen servants, a group of four peasants carried the pot and rushed to several parts of the city wall without wooden rafts.

Although it stinks, none of these peasants covered their noses and mouths.After arriving at the destination, the township soldiers took it over.In addition, some soldiers held up earthen shields to help the soldiers carrying the gold juice block the arrows that shot up.

In order to make space for them, those township soldiers who were defending and counterattacking inevitably had to move out of space, so that the counterattack was weakened.

The counterattack at the head of the city was not strong in the first place, and if it was so weak, the Tartars below would soon attack the top of the ladder.

As he climbed up, the Tartars thought that the Ming army at the top of the city could not bear it anymore, and wondered in their hearts whether they would be the first to climb to the top of the city.

With the cooperation of several township soldiers, a pot of simmering golden juice was poured down the direction of the ladder.

The tartar who had climbed up had just raised his head, ready to see what was going on at the top of the city, when he turned over, a strange smell came over his face.

The golden juice was splashed on the face of the Tartar who had just emerged, and before he had time to appreciate the screams of the Tartar who had fallen, the soldiers withdrew and handed the empty pot in their hands to the waiting peasants.

After a while, he took another pot of golden juice and repeated the action just now.

Zuo Yingxuan was watching the tartars' ladders in Changli City, more and more being broken and unusable, and slowly heaved a sigh of relief.Thinking that when these ladders are exhausted, no matter how many Tartars there are, they can only retreat.

But soon Zuo Yingxuan was disappointed. He saw a lot of ladders being transported from the Tartar camp in Guanhou Temple in the distance, and then distributed to the Tartars who attacked Changli from all sides.

It seems that the Tartars are going to take Changli City even though they have suffered heavy casualties today.Zuo Yingxuan's heart was very heavy for Tazi to make such a big determination.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery rang out again, and the town soldiers on the top of the city, including Zuo Yingxuan, were all refreshed when they heard it.

But Zuo Yingxuan's mood didn't last long, and the yamen servant came to report that several wooden rafts on the city wall had been destroyed by the Tartars.

Zuo Yingxuan looked at the city walls without rafts, and after watching the battle scene for a while, he ordered a yamen servant to call Shi Guozhu.

He told Shi Guozhu the general situation, and then gave his suggestion.

Although the artillery fired cannonballs to hit the Tartars at close range, they still couldn't hit the Tartars under the city wall.

Under the few sections of the city wall that were not protected by wooden rafts, the place where the Tartar archers were standing was just within the coverage of the hail.Therefore, Zuo Yingxuan suggested that the artillery should be defended separately, and the slower the firing, the slower it would be, but it could effectively suppress the archers.

Shi Guozhu felt that what Zuo Yingxuan said made sense, so he prepared to go down to direct.As soon as he reached the stairs, he was stopped by Zuo Yingxuan again. [

Zuo Yingxuan was worried about the situation at the west gate of Changli, because he couldn't see the situation at the east gate, so Shi Guozhu was relieved to go over and stare at him.

Shi Guozhu didn't talk nonsense, he clasped his hands in agreement and left in a hurry.

When the cannons from the top of Changli city rang out again, the heads of the Mongolian tribes outside the city shuddered, thinking how many children would never return to the grassland.

At this time, they have already regretted it greatly. You said that you have already robbed so much property, and you are still not satisfied. You want to believe in Huang Taiji's good intentions, and you are not greedy enough to come here to fight Changli.

If it was so easy to fight, Jin Guo himself beat Changli down, and now Erlang has died too much, it's really hard to explain when he goes back.

While time is ticking, the siege continues.More and more wooden rafts on the city wall were destroyed, and there were only six artillery pieces, which could not suppress a few places.

Fortunately, although Changli City is small, there are many people, so there is no need to worry about the raw materials of the golden juice.Many local residents in Changli went home and took their own iron pots to cook the golden juice.

The shouts of killing outside the city continued for a long time, which inevitably affected the people in the city.

Those people who are busy with tasks don't have time to think about whether they will break the city, but those people who have nothing to do for the time being are different. They have plenty of time to worry about whether the place on the city wall can't be defended or the Tartars seem to be going to attack. Things that come in.

People are like this, when they don’t think about it, it’s nothing, but when they think about it, the more they think about it, the more afraid they become, and the more afraid they become, the more they think about it, a wave of panic slowly began to spread in the city.

At this time, the fairy "Han Xiangzi" appeared, and he strolled leisurely in various streets, followed by a boy holding a flower basket.

While pretending to be Han Xiangzi, Wanjie spoke to the common people about the prophecy that the immortal told him in his dream that the Tartars would be defeated, that Changli was about to happen, and that imperial reinforcements would arrive soon.

Wherever he passed, the uneasy people suddenly quieted down. This is the power of faith.

At this point in the siege battle, Dai Shan outside the city was secretly startled.He didn't expect that the Ming army in the small city of Changli would be so tenacious, they didn't collapse in such a high-intensity siege battle, and they fought back tenaciously.

He also saw the battle of the Mongolian servant army. In such a siege battle, if the Dajin warriors were replaced, the result would be similar, but the casualties were not something he could bear.

Daishan raised his head to look at the sky, and then carefully looked at the fighting on the city wall.I estimated in my heart that if I persisted for a while, the defenders at the head of Changli City should not be able to hold on.

He looked at the Mongolian tribal leaders anxiously watching the battle, thinking that after Changli City was defeated, he might not be able to compete with them for the property in the city, so he could only get the honor of winning the city.Otherwise, these Mongols would not be desperate for themselves.

After the tartars suffered the damage of the golden juice for an initial period, they transferred some shields.The tartars in the area under the city wall that were injured by the golden juice each held a shield to block the direct damage of the golden juice.

Although some golden juice will be poured on the body, the clothes worn in winter are very thick, which can well weaken the damage of the golden juice.Of course, the smell of the golden juice had been ignored by them.

Although the shield blocked the golden juice, it couldn't stop the attack of the rolling stone, and the damage of the Tartars was still increasing.

Without the protection of wooden platoons, although the rolling stones could still be smashed down, the number of soldiers shot by arrows inevitably began to increase.

The four walls of Changli City were under attack, and the original reserves of rolling logs and stones had been exhausted, and now all the ones being used were improvised. [

The order of Zuo Yingxuan, the magistrate of Changli County, was handed down to the leaders of a village in the city. Soon, jars of earthen jars were sent to several dangerous city walls.

The leader of the township soldiers immediately asked the township soldiers to take over the earthen jar and smashed it on the ladder.Just hearing a "bang", the crock burst, and the liquid inside splashed down.

Before the Tartars around the ladder understood what was going on, the torch was thrown down, igniting the mixed oil that had just been sprinkled.

These oils were collected from door to door in Changli City for backup, and the amount was not much. Now that the battle was at a critical moment, they had to be taken out for use.

The leaders of the various Mongolian tribes watched the ladders being burned, and all the children around them turned into people of fire, crying and wailing, so they couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Daishan: "Baile, the ladders have been burned. Burn, if you don't order Ming Jin to withdraw, we will withdraw our troops ourselves."

Daishan's eyes were a little cold, and he looked at them and said, "Don't think that our Dajin army is just for display. If anyone dares to withdraw before receiving the military order, don't blame Ben Baylor for being rude!"

After finishing speaking, the tone became friendly again: "Look, there are still some ladders that can be used. The fire pot on the top of the city is not enough to burn all the ladders. What does this mean? There is not much kerosene in Changli City, and a quick plan can be implemented. We will be able to break through Changli City in no time, and if we persevere, we will be victorious!"

These Mongolian leaders looked at the Jianlu army on the periphery of the siege army, and at the head of the city where the battle was fierce. Fearing the might of the Jianlu army, they had to grit their teeth and continue to fight Changli City.
