Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 142 Watching Our Siege

"Why is the Liao army still silent?" A Min and Yue Tuo couldn't understand Chu Yun's routine recently.

Originally, the group was sure that Chu Yun would use the method of soil attack, but the tunnel outside the city slowed down halfway through digging, and it took a whole day to advance a few meters!

According to this speed, even if Huang Taiji led the army back, the tunnel might not even be able to dig under the city!
"Is this a trick?" Amin looked at Yuetuo.

"No way, thousands of people were used to deceive us?" Yue Tuo looked at Amin.

"Could they have other plans?" Amin and Yue Tuo thought about it carefully.

Then they start rich associations.In the ancient siege, the most common ones were storming and siege, and the more subtle ones were defrauding the city, cooperating with inside and outside, and surprise attack.

"Could it be that we have a traitor?" Amin became more and more flustered as he thought about it.

"It's very possible! The Liao Army has never played cards according to common sense. You think, when they attacked Fuzhou, they rebelled against Liu Xingzuo. When they attacked Haizhou City, they apparently destroyed the southern city, but their main force captured the eastern city. It's all about making a move. Then if you think about it this way, they are digging tunnels under the city. It is very likely that they are just to divert our attention. No siege." Yue Tuo forcefully explained.

"What you said is very true. Some ministers in the court often have the intention of treason. Now that our Dajin is killed, they are eager to make trouble!" Amin agreed, "Let your father send troops to monitor the officials and generals in the city. Don't give them a chance to cause civil unrest in the city!"

"Well, I'm going to inform my father and let him control the people in the city." Yue Tuo nodded.

Chu Yun outside the city did not make any moves yet, but some civil servants and generals inside the city suffered disaster.They found that there were red flag soldiers next to their house!Moreover, some officers of the servant army in the Eight Banners were controlled by the soldiers of Zhenghong Banner, and were temporarily relieved of their command!
"Let us out, what did we do?!" Some military officers who were temporarily detained in a house tried to break out to reason with their masters, but were stopped by heavily armed soldiers guarding the door.

These soldiers looked indifferent and stabbed them with long spears, causing the officer to retreat.

"You guys, don't waste your efforts in vain. Isn't that the reason? They can't trust us." Other officers who stayed calmly in the house saw their companions struggling needlessly, and couldn't help persuading them.

"Ma Balazi, I have made great contributions, and even risked my life to help them at a critical moment. I didn't expect that they not only refused to accept our favor, but also didn't trust us at all!" An officer threw his helmet to the ground angrily.

After a few bangs, the iron helmet rolled on the ground a few times and hit the wall before stopping.

"Hey, when we betrayed the Ming court in the past, there was no loyalty at all. How can others trust us? It's no use worrying. Let's stay here to watch this big battle. If the Liao army wins, we Most of them will be executed, and if the Liao Army loses, we will still be dogs, almost, almost." An old officer was sitting on the stone steps, holding a straw in his mouth, and said indiscriminately.

"I've heard that the Liao army gave preferential treatment to prisoners. Generally, it's not that the crime is too serious to pay for the crime. Most of them are educated and then serve in their factories for several years to decades."

"According to the crimes committed by each of us, we would have died two or three times just for treason. Alas, if we hadn't betrayed the Ming court, how would we have ended up in such a state today?"

"If the Ming court had such a strong army as the Liao army at that time, how could we have been captured and turned to the Jin people? You and I have seen the corruption of the Ming court at that time, and even those of us would intercept the military pay."

A group of military officers talked a lot, and when it came to the dispute between Da Ming and Da Jin, there was another burst of sighs.

Of course, digging tunnels is not to deceive people, but to play hard to get, and it will be of great use.

On the fifth day of the siege of Shengjing City, Chu Yun assigned the combat missions of each battalion and brigade, and specially dispatched a brigade from the Artillery Brigade to serve as the blasting team. Moreover, the members of this brigade were required to be kept strictly confidential before the battle began. Only the captain and squadron leader are eligible to know. As for the other members, they just need to follow orders.If they knew what they were going to do, they would be scared to death.

After Chu Yun cooperated with Wolfe, Dong Dawei, Liu Xingzuo, Yang Tai and others to prepare the layout for attacking Shengjing City, he finally sat down on the wooden chair to rest in peace.

He's also been under a lot of pressure lately.According to the information from the intelligence department, Huang Taiji's troops have repelled the Ningyuan defenders who came to intercept them, and are gradually withdrawing from Datong Town, and will soon return to Shengjing City.If the two banners of Huang Taiji and the three banners of Mongolia return, then Houjin, who has an absolute advantage, will definitely be able to come back. At that time, Chu Yun may have to give up Shengjing, even Xining Fort and Haizhouwei. .Therefore, the capture of Shengjing City is imminent.

"Master, bring Du Du, the banner owner of the Xiangbai Banner!" During Chu Yun's rest, Grand Duke Karl of the West Route Army sent someone to send the captured prisoner Du Du, the banner owner of the Xiangbai Banner, to Chu Yun's army.

A young Baylor was tied up and pushed into Chu Yun's military tent.Dudu only became Baylor three years ago.He is also the grandson of Nurhachi, the same generation as Yue Tuo, and the third generation of military figures in Houjin.

It has to be said that after Jin rose to defeat Daming, it can be seen from these young Baylor.From the beginning of the post-King Kong period, several generations of talented people emerged in large numbers. After Nurhachi, there were Huang Taiji, Daishan, Amin, Mangurtai, and later Yuetuo, Azige, Dudu, and Duoduo and Duoduo who had not yet grown up. Dorgon, Jierhalang and others are indeed terrifying.

It's just a pity that these people could not escape the fate of becoming prisoners in front of the cold artillery.

"Du Du, the banner owner of the inlaid white flag? Have you ever imagined that one day you will become a prisoner of our Daming?" Chu Yun couldn't help being curious when he saw Baylor who was the first to be captured by him, "The legendary Houjin Baylor , and have two hands and two feet like normal people, nothing special."

"You are Chu Yun, the leader of the Liao army? You are just an ordinary person, nothing special!" Du Du retorted unwillingly.

"Is there anything special about me?" Chu Yun couldn't help laughing.Lao Tzu is a big hanger with the industrial revolution system.

"You can kill if you want, and cut if you want. I, Du Du, will never surrender, nor will I reveal any military information about our Daikin!" Du Du said stubbornly.

"Oh, don't worry. I didn't invite you here to interrogate you. I sent 3 people to set up a big stage in Shengjing, and I just wanted you to accompany me to the theater." Chu Yun showed a sly smile.
