Chapter 284 The Crisis at Qingshuimingyue Pass

Besides, after hearing the news, Namtai, the coach of the army after the establishment of the captives, found that the Ming army would not receive them at night, which was both expected and unexpected.

He knew that the Ming army would appear sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the Ming army would follow soon after they left Yongping.

Namtai couldn't help but hate those Ming soldiers who appeared at Qingshui Mingyue Pass. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have to return to Yongping City to transport siege equipment.

After delaying back and forth like this, he was followed by the Ming army.

He looked at his team of more than 3000 people and couldn't help but secretly worried.

Having had so much fun in Yongping City, the organizational system between soldiers at all levels has long since disappeared.After the soldiers withdrew from Yongping City one after another, they didn't all leave in a team, they all came out in batches.Among them, Amin brought a group, Shuotuo brought a group, and his own group.

So now the command of my own team is not handy at all. This is not a joke on the battlefield, so I can only withdraw as much as possible and talk with Shuo Tuo.

Thinking of this, Namtai ordered to speed up to get closer to Shuotuo, and sent someone to report to Shuotuo first.

But Ye Bushou of the Ming army followed Jianlu's buttocks cautiously, not coming forward to make contact. [

After following for a period of time, they felt strange that this Jianlu was completely different from the Jianlu they usually fought against.

The former Jianlu, who would let him follow them with peace of mind, would have sent their elite scouts to drive him away.

The more abnormal, the more careful Ye Bu Shou would be, but no matter how careful he was, there would always be contact, and after the two sides fought, Ye Bu Shou was surprised again.

These Jianlu, who were behind the brigade, seemed to have low combat power, and they solved it without much effort.

What they didn't know was that these stragglers were originally stationed in Zunhua and Qian'an, and rushed to Yongping overnight.Then these Jianlu had too much fun during the massacre of Yongping, and their physical strength was too exhausted, so they were easily solved by these nights.

What surprised Yebushou even more was that a large amount of property was seized from the Jianlu they had solved.

These properties were obviously snatched from Yongping City, because many of the properties, especially gold and silver jewelry, were stained with blood, and even a white jade wrench was found still attached to the severed finger.

Ye Bu Shou, who had been seized, made a fortune for nothing, which made them overjoyed, and at the same time made Ye Bu Shou, who did not get the property, extremely jealous.

The Yebushoumen of the Ming army began to become active, and they kept getting close to the rear army of Jianlu, trying to kill a few more Jianlu and rob them of their belongings.

At the same time, the news that Jianlu was carrying a large amount of property was like blood dissolved in the sea attracting sharks from a distance. The Ming cavalry who was sent to carry out the diversion task also knew the news.

There is no need to confirm it again, just think about it and know that the news must be true.The general soldiers from all walks of life immediately dispatched cavalry to attack Jianlu, but when they found that other general soldiers had the same thoughts as themselves, they refused to show up again.Looking forward to other Ming troops attacking first and taking advantage of themselves, this gave Jianlu some more breathing opportunities.

Besides, before Qingshui Mingyue Pass, Jianlu, under the cover of his archers, actually set up a wooden frame within the bow and arrow range of the Ming army at the head of the city.

These Jianlu wore several layers of leather armor. Within this distance, as long as the Ming army did not hit their vital points, they could do nothing to them. The land is under construction.

This situation surprised Yan Yingyuan, who was on duty at the head of the city, and quickly sent someone to wake up Zhong Jinwei and Lu Xiangsheng who had gone to catch up on sleep before the Jian captives attacked.

The two of them came to have a look, and they were also very surprised. [

This Jianlu is obviously bullying their shortcomings of not having guns and artillery, and having few bows and arrows, it is so arrogant!

But Jianlu is a conspiracy, even if he knows, there is nothing he can do.

After the three of them discussed, the only way was to select people with good archery skills from more than 700 people to go to the city to suppress them, slow down the construction speed of Jianlu as much as possible, and wait for the reinforcements of the Ming army.

As a result, all the Min Zhuang who were recovering from sleep were also awakened, and they selected people with superb archery skills to go to the top of the city, and with the help of the cover of the top of the city, they began to attack the Jianlu who had built a wooden frame.

As a result, the construction speed of Jianlu has obviously slowed down. From time to time, injured Jianlu are carried down, and then new Jianlu are replaced.

No matter how slow Jianlu builds, it is still building.

Bellesutuo watched as the wooden frame was being raised slowly, and in less than an hour, it would be level with the top of the city.At that time, let's see where the group of rural soldiers at the head of the city will hide.

Thinking of his pride, he couldn't help laughing.

But he didn't feel complacent for long, and his good mood was immediately ruined.

The messenger sent by Namtai arrived and reported to Shuo Tuo the news that the rear army was bitten by the Ming army at night.

Shuotuo felt awe-inspiring, and after detailed questioning, he ordered to speed up the construction of the wooden frame regardless of casualties.

Although the Minzhuang archers at Qingshui Mingyue Pass shoot diligently and have achieved results, there are really many Jianlu, and there are enough replacements.And as the shooting time went on, the arms started to get weak, and their tension started to increase.

Seeing this situation at the observation point, Zhong Jinwei was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.If Jianlu really built a wooden frame, as long as it was about the same height as the top of the city, Min Zhuang would have to be forced to go down the top of the city.

He thought about it, looked around and tried to find a way.

It’s true that where there is a will, there is a way. When Zhong Jinwei saw the corpses of Jianlu piled up in a corner of the city, he seemed to see a treasure, and immediately said happily to Yu Haijing beside him: “Hurry up, call someone to strip Jianlu’s armor. Come down and send it to the soldiers at the top of the city."

At that time, when the villagers were cleaning the battlefield, they collected all the weapons, money, and the like. Most of the armor on Jianlu’s body was damaged. For the time being, they were only hiding at the top of the city for defense. The demand for armor was not great, so no one wanted to Go pick it up.

Now that the threat of Jianlu bows and arrows to the city has increased, the demand for armor has increased.While the minzhuang inside the city were resting, the minzhuang at the top of the city nervously watched the movement of the Jianlu outside the city, forgetting that there was still a pile of armor available in the city.

On the contrary, Zhong Jinwei, an idler, watched and watched, and was reminded of him when he saw the pile of corpses.

When Yu Haijing heard Zhong Jinwei's order, she was also overjoyed, and immediately went to greet the minzhuang in the city to pull Jianlu's armor and send it to the minzhuang at the top of the city.

Not long after, Jianlu outside the city suddenly discovered that many companions appeared at the top of Qingshui Mingyue Pass, all of whom were soldiers dressed in gold.

They were stunned and realized that the Ming army had stripped off the armor of their companions who had been trapped in the city. They were all furious, and sent arrows to the top of the city regardless of whether they could shoot or not.

Lu Xiangsheng was on the watchtower, seeing so many more armors, and seeing the situation of Jianlu outside the city, he began to think about it.

Thirty or forty steps away from the city stood archers, suppressing the top of the city, and behind them were some unarmed Jianlu busy building wooden frames, none of these Jianlu capable of close combat.

But a few hundred paces away there were thousands of Jianlu, who were sitting on the ground to rest.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyesight is good, and he can see that many Jianlu are actually dozing off.

If you choose soldiers to fight out of the city with you, the wooden frame will definitely be destroyed.It's just that the Jianlu are all battle-hardened. Although they are resting now, they may react quickly. If they stick to themselves, the troops who went out to fight in the city may not be able to return.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and looked out of the city. The gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too huge, so that although he had the heart, he fought hard.

Right now, I'd better wait a little longer, and don't go out to take risks unless I have to.

Jianlu's craftsmanship is really not very good. After two layers of wooden shelves, they can't be put up. The height is only about half of that of Guancheng.

Shuo Tuo was very dissatisfied, and when he was about to order to forcibly put them on the shelves, Namtai sent another messenger to inform that the cavalry of the Ming army had also caught up with the rear army and asked for reinforcements.

While reporting bad news, there is also good news that the siege equipment brought from Yongping will be delivered immediately.

The Jianlu were all cavalry troops, and the reason why they didn't get rid of the Ming army was because they had to escort the siege equipment.

Shuo Tuo was overjoyed when he heard that, and after carefully asking about the siege equipment, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​building a wooden frame up by force, and then asked the archers to stand on the wooden frame half as high as the city wall and shoot arrows into the city. All have effects, and the siege mainly depends on the batch of ordnance sent by Namtai.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered to make more ladders, and all the ladders were ready to be used at once.

Shuo Tuo's idea was to capture Qingshui Mingyue Pass at once, because the main force of the Ming army did not have much time left for him to attack the city calmly.

Under the oppression of Jianlu archers on the wooden frame, the folks at the top of the city were forced to hide close to the base of the wall.On the one hand, he also took the opportunity to recover his strength.

Yan Yingyuan went to the archery tower, and went to discuss countermeasures with Lu Xiangsheng to see how to change the situation of being passively beaten.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the archery tower, before he had time to talk to Lu Xiangsheng, he heard Jianlu's huge cheers from outside the city.

The two hurriedly looked over, and were surprised to find six catapults approaching from a distance. Although they were not the biggest ones, they were not something they could handle.

The other townspeople at the top of the city secretly saw the catapult, and their hearts became heavy.
