please make me king

Chapter 1191: If you meet an opponent, you will meet a good talent

At noon on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Huaiqing Mansion, which had just calmed down, suddenly discovered that the right governor of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Sichang, and a battalion led by Zu Dale appeared outside the city.

Yang Sichang first sent his soldiers to persuade him to surrender, but he suffered a disgraceful defeat.

Yang Sichang also knew that there is no reason in the world to surrender without a fight, so he hastily ordered the Liaodong Army to push the siege equipment such as ladder carts and rush carts to Huaiqing Mansion.

At the beginning, the two sides fought against each other at the west gate of Fucheng, and the killing noise shook the sky for a while.

"Wang Zongbing, are you really not going to go over and command in person?" Shi Wenhuan asked anxiously when he heard the sound of fighting coming from a distance outside.

"Mr. Shi, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you are careless!" Wang Ding couldn't help laughing.

"The method of attacking and defending a city lasts for the sun and the moon. If the defender is well prepared, it will take two or three months of effort, and the victory cannot be determined. Why rush?"

"Is it all right?" Shi Wenhuan couldn't help wondering.

"It's all right!" Wang Ding couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

"Although there are many Ming troops, they are all local chickens and dogs, which are not worth mentioning."

"Xiao Si and Zhang Hu under my command, Mr. Shi don't want to see them young, but they are all from the background of generals, and the soldiers under him are all elite servants."

"If it weren't for King Shun's benevolence, who won the allegiance of Yulin's generals, which elite in the world can be so luxurious?"

"If the old man is really worried, I'd like to trouble you to recruit as many young men as possible from the city for a long-term plan!"

It turns out that Huaiqing Mansion was originally the county seat of Yewang County. Later, it was renamed Hanoi in the Sui Dynasty, and it was attached to Huaiqing Mansion. The city has nine miles around the city and four gates.

Therefore, Wang Ding, who was stationed in Fucheng, also encountered the predicament that Chen Yongfu had faced in Zhengzhou's defensive battle before, that is, he was short of manpower and could not spread out his soldiers for a comprehensive defense.

"On this point, please rest assured Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang!" Shi Wenhuan couldn't help but patted his chest to assure him.

"My son applied for the job and was selected. Although he is not a great talent, he still has a bit of a reputation in this Huaiqing Mansion."

"It's a trivial matter to recruit two or three thousand men to help the rebels defend the city!"

"Success, then I will bother Mr. Lao Shi and the two sons!" Wang Ding couldn't help but bowed after hearing the words,

"It only needs a thousand men to guard and patrol the city, a thousand men to detect traitors and punish evil in the city, and a thousand men to deliver food, gunpowder and bullets, and transport the wounded."

"As for the matter of fighting, the old man just leave it to me, and I will discipline him whether he comes back or not. I know my Yulin Wang family very well!"

That Shi Wenhuan once served as the deputy envoy of Guannei Road in Shaanxi, and also suppressed the rebellion in Sichuan, is not a person who knows nothing about soldiers.

Seeing that Wang Ding arranged things in an orderly manner and had a sense of bravery, he felt relieved.

It's just that they agreed to be calm in the back, but Zhang Hu and Xiao Si almost scolded their mothers at the front.

It turned out that the Liaodong army had been fighting with Houjin all the year round in Liaodong, so it naturally developed a sturdy spirit.

And this Zu Da Le is Zu Dashou's cousin, so it is naturally different from Zu Kuan who was born in the family of the Zu family.

The elite servants under his command are indeed better than the "Liaodong cavalry".

Therefore, the confrontation between the two sides felt wrong.

There is a saying that goes, "As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know whether it is there or not." This is true in martial arts competitions, and even more so in wars.

Before starting the battle, Zu Dale thought to himself: Rogues, who has never seen it before, what kind of battle can they fight?

On the other side, Xiao Si and Zhang Hu pondered: It's not like they haven't fought against the Ming army. I almost became the Ming army back then, so I'm so scared!

As a result, as soon as the two sides fought, they immediately jumped out with a "woof".

Wang Ding divided Zhang Hu and Xiao Si into two teams, and took turns to defend. Zhang Hu of Yulin Zhang was in charge of the first team.

At the beginning of the war, Nazu Dale ordered one of the general leaders to shoot and suppress the city from the bottom of the city, and the other to push the general leader and horses to attack the city with siege equipment such as ladder carts and charge formations.

When Zhang Hu saw him in the city, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's pretty standard, come here, let them see how good the Qin army's arrow skills are!"

As soon as Zhang Hu finished speaking, arrows rained down from both sides, and they started shooting at each other.

Due to technical constraints, the density of firepower in this era is still not high, and basically the winner will be determined by hand-to-hand combat, so he doesn't care about it.

It's just that Zhang Hu never expected that there was only a round of arrows raining, and there was a scream in the city.

Zhang Hu turned his head and saw that seven or eight soldiers had already been shot to the ground.

The arrow on the soldier who was hit by the arrow was nailed to the armor plate, and he was shot through the armor plate.

"What's going on?" Zhang Hu couldn't help shouting loudly.

"General, it's not good. The Ming army's arrows are too sharp. Most of them are point steel armor-piercing arrows, which can actually penetrate the armor plate."

"Straight mother thief!" Zhang Hu cursed secretly, and even encountered a hard stubble.

In this era, if you want to use armor-piercing arrows, you must use hard bows and steel arrows. However, anyone who uses hard bows and steel bars is likely to be the best of the best.

And when Zhang Hu was scolding his mother in the city, Zu Dale in the city also scolded his mother loudly.

It turns out that Yulin generals have been fighting against Tartar rangers all year round, and the elite servants under his command are naturally good at archery.

Compared with Liaodong's hard bow and heavy armor, Yulin generals have soft bows and long arrows.

Although the armor-piercing ability is slightly inferior to the former, but the accuracy is far superior.

"Chief soldier, this group of thieves is wrong!" The two sides fought for a round, and someone had already rushed over to report.

"Why not?" Zu Dale said with a cold face.

"Several of our brothers have been shot in the face. I guess...it probably won't happen!" The soldier explained.

"What? Could it be that the northern prisoner is here!" Zu Dale couldn't help but lose his voice.

It turned out that Hou Jin Jun, the old opponent of the Liaodong Army, was good at long bows and heavy arrows. He liked "ten-step shooting" the most, and he specialized in shooting people in the face. That's why Zu Dale had his doubts.

"It's not like." The soldier shook his head, handed over a bloody arrow and said, "Look, chief soldier, this arrow is lighter, not as far away as Beilu's arrow!"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the heavy arrows used by Houjin weighed about [-] grams, and they could completely pierce armor within ten steps. They were called small spears. The shape of the bow and arrow used by the army is completely different.

"So it's Qin Bing, no wonder!" Zu Dale was also a man of knowledge, so he immediately realized it.

Shaanxi soldiers have been fighting nomads all year round, so they like to use soft bows and long arrows.

Although the armor-piercing ability is not as good as the clear bow, but the accuracy is superior, so Zhang Hu's elite multi-shot Liaodong Army has no protection.

"Meet the opponent!"

As the saying goes: When you meet your opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. Zhang Hu and Zu Dale were in the upper and lower walls of the city.
