Chapter 1591
"Kill!" Jia Lazhangjing Zhu Shichang, holding a spear in one hand and a wooden ladder in the other, bravely climbed up the city.

At this moment, a few stones were thrown from the city, and he hurried forward, only to hear a scream from below.

Without bowing his head, he also knew that this was hitting the soldiers below.

However, he didn't panic, instead, he took advantage of the gap between the rebels throwing stones and continued to climb up.

Although it is said that because he took refuge in the "Tarzi", this led to the destruction of the whole family.

But he didn't regret it, he just regretted not being able to move the whole family to Shengjing in time, so he suffered this disaster.

When he thought of the heads of his father and brother covered in blood and dirt outside the city, he couldn't help but get angry.

Kill, kill, kill!

Now he has no thoughts in his mind, only one thought.

It is to kill all the "shun thieves" in the city, kill all the big households in the city, and even kill all the people in the city to avenge his whole family!

Seeing that he was about to climb the tower, Zhu Shichang couldn't help being overjoyed, but when he looked up, he saw a cauldron set up on the city.

The cauldron was steaming hot, and a pot full of yellow and white things was constantly tumbling in it.

"Ha, come up and throw him!" The soldier who was boiling the pot saw a tartar rushing up, couldn't help saying, scooped up a spoonful of yellow and white stuff and poured it over his head.

"Ah!" Zhu Shichang didn't expect this, he was drenched all over at once, only felt the burning pain on his face and body, he quickly dropped his spear and jumped down.

The height of the city wall is three feet five, which is almost equivalent to the height of three or four stories in later generations.

Zhu Shichang, who was wrapped in iron armor, fell down with a thud, and only fell down.

After finally getting up, he felt a pain in his left leg and almost passed out.

It turned out that this jump was not important, but it broke the calf bone.

"General, are you alright, general!" Two loyal house slaves rushed forward, one on the left and the other on the right.

"I'm fine, let's go back and talk!" Zhu Shichang responded, and quickly limped away from the battlefield with the help of two house slaves.

"Boring, boring, boring!" Just as Zhu Shichang was retreating, the sound of gold ringing resounded, and the aggressive Houjin soldiers retreated like a tidal wave.

"How is it?" Daishan asked quickly when he saw his son Wakda and the limping Zhu Shichang entering the account.

"No, I can't attack!" Wakda shook his head, a little helplessly.

"The current Liaoyang City is monolithic, and no one is willing to support our army. It seems that the red-clothed cannon must be used!"

"What do you think?" Daishan frowned, turned his head and asked Zhu Shichang again.

"The slave thinks so too!" Zhu Shichang hurriedly stepped forward to agree after hearing the words.

It turned out that after Zhu Shichang surrendered to Houjin, he was included in the inlaid red flag, and his master was Prince Li Lie Daishan.

"Okay then, then write to Anping Baylor and ask him to send someone to deliver the cannon in red!" Daishan frowned, but finally ordered helplessly.

Although the Jin soldiers were fine, they were good at night fighting and clumsy at siege.

Previously, when the old slaves raised their troops, the reason why they were able to conquer the city and occupy Liaodong mainly depended on the cooperation between spies and the big households in the city.

Now Huang Degong took the risk to get rid of Zhu, Wang, Duan and other families in Liaoyang City, and then tied Li, Cui, and Han's family to his chariot. beated.

"The false king of the Tartars has arrived in Liaoyang?" Not long after Daishan arrived outside Liaoyang City, Zhang Sanbai, who had moved to Niuzhuang, got the news.

"Yes, there are about 5000 people in the Shuotuo section; and more than ten thousand in the Daishan section." The messenger hurriedly reported.

"Three thousand against five thousand, it's not a good fight!" Zhang Sanbai frowned and couldn't help sighing.

"How about...how about asking His Highness for more troops?" Cavalry general Zhang Dashou couldn't help suggesting after hearing the words.

At the beginning of the rebel army's large-scale eastward expedition, a total of 20 soldiers and horses were mobilized.

Except for the Hong Chengchou section of the South Road, there are at least one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses entrenched in Xuandaji Town and the vicinity of the capital.

Among the [-] horses, only [-] were transferred to Liaodong, so Zhang Dashou made this suggestion.

"No, no!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanbai shook his head and said.

"Brother Zhang doesn't know that besides my rebel army, there are more than 11 old soldiers in Liaodong, a total of [-] soldiers and horses here."

"Eastern Liaodong has experienced wars, and the farming and mulberry fields have been abandoned. Most of the food and salaries depend on the supply from Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places."

"If there are more troops, I'm afraid we will run out of food and grass!"

It turns out that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Liao land was barren, and more than [-] shi needed to be transported for food and salaries every year.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, set up a guard station here to carry out farming. By the time of Yongle, 70 stones had been expropriated, and the income and expenditure were roughly balanced.

During the Wanli period, the system of garrisoning farmland was corrupted, and the Liao incident gradually arose. The imperial court used troops repeatedly, and the land of Liaodong had long been unable to make ends meet.

After the killing and destruction of the old slaves, Liaodong's economy was almost on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, if the rebel army wanted to support the war in Liaodong, all food and salaries could only be transported from the interior.

However, today's rebel army only occupied parts of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and Beizhi, and there were many disasters and disasters in the territory, so it was difficult to raise food and salaries.

Not to mention that the new navy based on the Tianjin Navy of the former Ming Army is still very weak, and it is even more unable to transport grain and grass on a large scale for a long time.

Unlike Zhang Dashou, who was a pure general, now that Zhang Sanbai has become the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he is naturally aware of all this.

Zhang Shun will not send him any reinforcements for this battle, he only has these [-] soldiers and [-] defenders under his command.

"Then... what should we do then?" Zhang Dashou was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

If he is allowed to fight in battle, he is a first-class expert.

If he is asked to solve the problem of food and grass, he has only one old method, and that is to rob!

"It's not easy!" Zhang Sanbai shook his head and said, "The most urgent thing is to quickly determine where the main force of the Tartars is."

"Once he takes advantage of it, we will be in trouble!"

"Report, there is an urgent military situation from Liaoze!" Just as Zhang Sanbai finished speaking, a person rushed in and reported loudly.

"Oh? Submit it quickly!" Zhang Sanbai was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly ordered.

"Okay, okay, God helped me too!" Zhang Sanbai said with trembling hands when he opened it, suddenly exulting.

"What's the situation in Liaoze?" Zhang Dashou and others couldn't help asking when they saw Zhang Sanbai's expression.

"Hahaha, the pontoon bridge, the main force of the Tartars, was repeatedly burned by our navy, and it was trapped in the Liaohe River, unable to cross eastward for a while!" Zhang Sanbai finally realized, and quickly handed it to Zhang Dashou and others.

"Ah? This... this is really surprising!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

It turned out that when Na Duoduo led the main force of Houjin to the west bank of the Liao River, the navy sent by Zhang Sanbai happened to burn down the pontoon bridge.

Nadodo couldn't cross the river, so he ordered people to build a bridge again.

It's just that the trees in Liaoze are scarce and difficult to build, so reeds can only be used to replace them.

This reed is thin and dry, how can it stand up to the fire boats of the rebels when it touches the fire?

Therefore, Hou Jin built one, and the rebels burned one; the Tartars were destroyed by two, and the rebels burned a pair.

Only Burning Duoduo was furious, and repeatedly ordered the soldiers to capture and drive them away, but Houjin had no boats, and Liaoze was muddy and difficult to move, so it was impossible to pursue them.

He could only watch helplessly as seven or eight ships of the rebel army criss-crossed the Liaohe River, causing the [-] troops to stare at the sea and sigh.

"Then...then let's rush to help Liaoyang?" Seeing this situation, Zu Dashou immediately understood that the opportunity to fight had appeared.

"En!" Zhang Sanbai nodded, and then ordered, "Zhang Dashou stays to defend the city, and the others follow me by land and water to Liaoyang!"
