The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 574
It was night, and the Mohe army retreated, recharging their energy and recharging their energy to prepare for the next day's siege.

But Guo Jing came up with a new idea, to attack the enemy at night.

Tonight, Mohe's internal traitor plot failed to break through Jinyang City, but it still put a huge psychological pressure on Zhou Jun.

According to common sense, the Zhou army should strengthen the city defense and purge the traitors. The Mohe army would never have thought that under such circumstances, the Zhou army would choose to go out of the city to fight at night.

"Vice Chief Guo, what do you mean?!" Zhao Tianlin asked after listening to Guo Jing's analysis.

"Guo believes that the biggest threat to Jinyang is those catapults. Without these catapults, the pressure on Jinyang's defenders will be much less! It would be difficult for Mohe people to attack the city!"

Although the catapults of these Mohe people seem to have a short range, the ants kill elephants more often.

Although Zhou Jun's catapults far surpassed those of Mohe people in terms of performance, the manufacturing process was complicated, and they were basically transported to Jinyang City for reassembly after they were manufactured in the prison of the general in Beijing.

But the Mohe people were different. Nurhachi plundered a large number of craftsmen and asked them to make catapults, regardless of the quality, as long as the quantity.

In the past seven or eight days, the Mohe army at the east main gate of Jinyang City has produced more than 370 catapults.

The soldiers of the Mohe army didn't care about their accuracy, they just threw their brains on the city wall of Jinyang.

Although the range of the catapults is not far, but the ants kill the elephants, the power of more than 370 catapults firing stone projectiles together is really astonishing.

Although Zhou Jun's catapults had a long range and destroyed many catapults, they could not keep up with the speed at which a large number of craftsmen in the Mohe Army rushed to make them day and night.

The large area of ​​trees outside Jinyang City was the inexhaustible material for the Mohe army. They used local materials to make catapults.

And after days of fighting, Zhou Jun's special stone bullets are running out!
The stone bombs used by Zhou Jun at this time are not traditional hard boulders, but brittle and hard stones, so that when they hit the ground, the stone bombs will shatter, producing a large number of fragments to kill the surrounding enemies
It's like the difference between a high-explosive bomb and an armor-piercing bomb.

But now this kind of stone is not much in Jinyang City!
Yesterday's Zhou Jun had already started using dried mud bombs instead of specially made stone bombs.

And the Mohe army outside the city can push these temporary and disadvantaged catapults to the front of the city wall, and continue to attack the city wall and towers.

If things go on like this, even though Jinyang City is strong, it will collapse under stone bullets.

Therefore, Guo Jing seized the opportunity after the enemy's sneak attack failed, and proposed a night attack to destroy the enemy and destroy the enemy's catapult.

Zhao Tianlin also nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "Guo Zongbing's plan is very clever! The Mohe villains at this moment must think that we are strengthening the city's defenses. If they attack now, they will definitely catch him by surprise!"

Yu Yanyi also nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's fight! We are also angry with the defense for days!"

Although Yu Yanyi is a civil servant, the orthodox civil servants of Dazhou are not easy to mess with!

Before everyone came to the sand table map, Guo Jing pointed to the camp of the Mohe army and said.

"Nurhachi set up a camp three miles outside Jinyang City. Obviously, he doesn't think our army has the power to fight back. I went to investigate near the Mohe barracks at night before, but because there were some masters among them, I didn't dare to approach. But generally Also know the enemy's defenses."

"Nurhachi holds an absolute superior force, and the army under his command is good at fighting. However, our army is mostly prepared troops, prepared barbarians, and gathered defeated soldiers. Therefore, Nurhachi's camp is not strict. His horses are We can't deal with the rear army, but for the convenience of attacking the city, the enemy put all the catapults and other siege equipment in the left front battalion."

Although Guo Jing looks dull in normal times, when it comes to war, he is a general who is proficient in the art of war.

"There are 5000 elite cavalry in the city, but we are only doing a sneak attack, so we don't need so many! We can divide our troops into two groups, one to lure the enemy and the other to ignite fire!"

Yu Yanyi nodded, "The specific arrangement!"

"Before dawn, we quietly left the city and divided our troops into two groups! Before dawn, the sky is darkest and the guards are most lax. Attacking at this time will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. First of all, I will lead two thousand cavalry to go around the enemy's right. Side camp, launch an attack, set fire to the enemy camp with rockets, mainly to attract the enemy's attention and disturb the enemy!"

"On the other side, the man picked up the bell and the horse picked the bell, and quietly approached the enemy's left front battalion. Once we launched a sneak attack and attracted the attention of the Mohe army, they would immediately rush out, attack the left front battalion, and ignite the siege equipment with kerosene. But there is one thing , Our soldiers and horses are difficult to carry a large amount of fire oil, so we must choose the most important ones to burn!"

But Huang Rong, who was silent at the side and had nothing to say, spoke.

"Actually, this matter is not difficult! Although our soldiers can't bring much kerosene, the equipment of the Mohe army has already been prepared for you. I remember that the catapults fired by the Mohe army the day before yesterday were all fired. There must be no shortage of kerosene in their equipment battalion! I will use their kerosene when the time comes."

Yu Yanyi nodded when he heard the words, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, one is good at strategy, the other is quick-witted, they are indeed a complementary couple.

Yang Qingyuan sent this couple to help him, which really lightened his burden a lot!

"Since this is the case, the old man will lead two thousand cavalry to lure the enemy, and Mr. Guo will take the elite soldiers and horses to light the equipment camp. This plan was proposed by Mr. Guo, and Mr. Guo is familiar with the enemy's camp. Soldiers and horses are definitely more suitable!"

As soon as Zhao Tianlin said this, he was opposed by a general.

"Old General Zhao is as respected as Master Yu. He is the backbone of my Jinyang City. How can he take the risk himself?! The last general, Tao Jin, went to lure the enemy!"

This time, Lao Zhao was furious, "Do you think that the old man can't wield a big sword anymore?! When the old man was in the northern border, you didn't know where to play with mud? ! "

Although it is a defensive posture at this moment, the general Zhou Jun's spirit that was spent in the Tumu Fort has recovered.

Not afraid of war, not afraid of death.

Seeing such a situation, Yu Yanyi nodded repeatedly, his efforts were not in vain.

"You don't have to fight!"

Of course, time is running out, and it is impossible for Yu Yanyi to let several people continue to fight.

Seeing the commander speak, everyone stopped talking and listened quietly to Yanyi's military order.

"Guo Zongbing used to be the Grand Marshal of Zhengxi, he is the most proficient in cavalry guerrilla tactics, and his archery skills are superb. In fact, it is safest to leave it to him to handle the matter of luring the enemy! Although the key point is to incinerate the equipment, the most difficult part is to attract the attention of the Mohe army and delay enough time, it is most suitable for Guo Zongbing to do this!"

Guo Jing nodded. This was exactly what he wanted to say but didn't say.

His character was still a bit dull, and when Tao Jin and Zhao Tianlin were arguing over this matter, he stopped talking.

"As for the burning, General Tao will lead a thousand cavalry. As for General Zhao, he will lead his troops to support Guo Zongbing and General Tao. Once the enemy pursues, we will rely on General Zhao to repel the enemy!"

After Yu Yanyi made some arrangements, no one wanted to argue.

Half an hour later, everyone was ready, and under the cover of night, three teams of soldiers and horses quietly left the east main gate of Jinyang.

Guo Jing led his soldiers and horses to the right side of the Mohe camp quietly.

Outside the east main gate, Mohe's army has 20 people, and its camp stretches for several miles, and there is no end in sight at a glance.

Guo Jing is a master of the Profound Realm, his five senses and six senses are far beyond ordinary people, and the night has become his best assistant.

It was approaching dawn at this moment, and the Mohe soldiers who were in charge of guarding the guards were at their most sleepy, yawning again and again.

Damn it, it's finally dawn!I'm so sleepy!The commander-in-chief took a sip of water to refresh himself.

The soldiers on the side also complained, "Who says it's not?! When the siege is underway, there will be horns flying all over the city. Brother, I haven't slept well for several days!"

When everyone was complaining, suddenly a centurion who seemed more energetic among the crowd said, "Listen, everyone!"

All the people who had originally complained quieted down and listened attentively, but they heard nothing except the constant snoring in the barracks.

"What are you listening to?! Don't scare yourself with a sudden surprise."

The centurion did not give up, but immediately leaned down on the ground, and in an instant, his originally dark face turned white.

"There are cavalry approaching! It's..."

Before he finished speaking, a feathered arrow shot out from the darkness, piercing his throat.

After the arrow pierced the centurion's throat, the bloodthirsty intent continued, and it pierced through a short soldier behind him again, nailing the third man with the arrow to the wooden post behind him. above.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The people who were drowsy suddenly lost all sleepiness, and the sound of horns sounded in the Mohe camp.

"Rocket! Projectile!"

The cavalry who started galloping, led by Guo Jing, fired a salvo of rockets in the direction of Mohe Youying.

Two thousand rockets turned into sparks in the sky, and fell into Mohe's right camp in an instant.

The right battalion was instantly ignited.

The leader of the right battalion is Bie Bai, he is brave and warlike, and he is a veteran in the battlefield, but his accomplishments in camp construction are mediocre.

This way of camping is not something that can be established simply by relying on talent, and chaos immediately appeared in the right camp.

Biebai put on his armor and walked out of the camp amidst the sound of horns and golden gongs.

"Don't make a mess, it's just a night attack by the Zhou people! Immediately order the army to prepare to attack, and at the same time tell the left battalion general Hauge to send troops to share the defense, guard the right battalion's food and grass, and wait for our army to return from victory."

This wave was God Bless the Great Zhou, before Guo Jing sent troops, he didn't know that the food and grass of the Mohe army were in the right camp.

By mistake, Mohe Jun's sensitive nerves were touched.

Although Mohe's military logistics pressure was not as great as that of the Zhou army, after the capture of Youzhou and Jizhou, Nurhachi and other famous post-gold generals were also constantly learning and absorbing Zhou army's tactics, including logistics transfer.

If they really intend to seek the world, relying on the original method of border looting will not work.

Moreover, the captured white flour rice was also brought to the army by Nurhachi. This is a rare and good thing for ordinary Mohe people, and it can also boost the morale of the Mohe army and win the hearts of the troops.

A quarter of an hour later, the Mohe cavalry from the right battalion moved out in large numbers, and the rest also started to put out the fire and guard the food and grass.

"Bye, do you still recognize me?!"

In the darkness, Guo Jing saw clearly that the leader of the army was the turtle.

Hearing Guo Jing's voice, Biebai couldn't help but shiver.

Originally, Turtle Bai's first big defeat outside Jinyang City was thanks to Guo Jing, who beat him with [-] elite riders.

Then Biebai saw with his own eyes that Guo Jing smashed the boulder thrown by the Mohe army's catapult into pieces with his flesh and blood.

The catapults used by the Mohe army were not the strong and fragile stone bombs like the Zhou army, but genuine stones.

After all, the purpose of one side is to kill and injure the enemy, and the other side is to break down the city wall, so it is naturally different.

Guo Jing's palm that day left a huge shadow in Biebai's heart.

"Since you are such a bastard, Guo will not accompany you!"

Seeing that Mohe soldiers and horses were about to pursue, Guo Jing pulled his horses and left!

Biebai is afraid of Guo Jing, but it doesn't mean everyone else is afraid of him. Biebai has a sharpshooter named Jueluo Yabulan under him.

Towards Guo Jing's direction, he shot five consecutive arrows.

This archery skill is considered amazing, but he found the wrong opponent.

Guo Jing is the former disciple of the archery master Jebe. When the feather arrow was approaching, Guo Jing noticed it. On the galloping horse, he hung it backwards, took out the feather arrow from the quiver hanging from the horse, and rolled it up in his hand The precious bow presented by Zhao Tianlin shot seven consecutive arrows in the direction of howling arrows.

Cut five arrows with three arrows, and the remaining four arrows continued to go towards Jueluo Yabulan.

Jue Luo Yabulan had never seen Guo Jing's archery skills before, he only thought that although this man had high martial arts skills, he was not good at riding and archery. To be able to stop his five arrows in such a short period of time, and to counterattack with four more arrows.

When Feather Arrow whistled and approached, Jue Luoyabran realized it and responded hastily.

But Jue Luo Yabulan, it was still a step too late to fight back, and his archery skills and Guo Jing also had a lot of awareness, the five feathered arrows he shot in a hurry only missed one of Guo Jing's arrows.

After the arrow deviated slightly, it hit the neck of the horse under his crotch,

After a cry of grief, Jue Luo Yabran's horse fell forward, Jue Luo Yabran was thrown off by the horse unexpectedly, rolled forward and turned around, and stood upright.

The remaining three arrows cleanly shot and killed the three cavalrymen around Jueluo Yabulan.

But at this time, Jueluo Yabulan was already covered in dust, and under the dropped helmet, the unique money rattail of their Mohe clan was exposed.

Jue Luo Yabulan, a sharpshooter who has always been known for his archery skills, was so embarrassed by the archery skills of a Zhou, Jue Luo Yabulan's face was a little uncomfortable.He jumped up angrily, kicked a soldier off the horse, then flew to snatch the horse, adjusted some of the armor on his body, and continued to chase.

If he couldn't shoot this person today, what right did he think Royabran had to call himself a god shooter?
When Mohe's soldiers and horses were chasing Guo Jing, the 1000 men led by Tao Jin had quietly moved five hundred steps away from Mohe's left front camp.
