My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 142 The tentative attack begins

Less than [-] days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the war between Ming Dynasty and Jiannu was rekindled.

This time, Xiong Tingbi faced a more severe situation than in Wanli 48.

He knew clearly in his heart that this time, Nurhaci would definitely launch all his troops to try to capture Liaochen.

"What on earth does this slave-builder want to do?"

In Shenyang City, all the generals gathered in the Jinglue Mansion.

Looking at the map in front of him, Xiong Tingbi covered his head with a headache.

Smoke was ignited in Puhe Suo, Fushun Suo, Dongzhou Fort, and Magendan Fort.

Sanyangyu Fort has been breached by Jiannu, and all [-] Liao soldiers were wiped out. Jiannu's troops pointed directly at Fengji Fort.

"Has Ye Bushou not sent back the location of the Eight Banners of Jiannu yet?"

Suddenly, Xiong Tingbi looked at Zhu Wanliang in the hall and asked.

"Back to the story, not yet."

Hearing this, Zhu Wanliang stood up and bowed.

"We have been sent out for more than a hundred nights to investigate, but no one has come back alive yet."

"waste!"

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi hammered the table, hating the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"Are all the local soldiers in Liaodong like you? Fighting with your head down at home, you can't even figure out where the enemy is."

"..."

Listening to Xiong Tingbi's dirty words, all the Liaodong generals in the hall bowed their heads one by one, while the generals transferred from other towns had gloating written on their faces.

"General, recently there have been a lot of fugitives from the Jiannu slaves coming to the city, asking to be taken in. May I ask what the manager should do?"

At this moment, Tong Zhongkui, the deputy commander-in-chief of Sichuan's aid to Liao Dynasty, stood up and asked.

"What to do? Kill them all."

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi sneered.

"I'm addicted to playing Neiying. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Kill outside the city?"

Hearing Xiong Tingbi's murderous words, everyone in the hall bowed their heads. Only Tong Zhongkui asked bravely.

This man doesn't look like a civil servant at all.

"You take three thousand Sichuan soldiers and escort one thousand fleeing soldiers to Baitapu."

He took out a military talisman from the wooden tube in front of him and threw it down, Xiong Tingbi ordered.

"When we got to Baita Pu, we told them that it was all about building slaves to train the new soldiers."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Tong Zhongkui didn't hesitate, stepped forward to pick up the military talisman, and walked out of the hall.

"If we don't close this hole in Fushun, we will always be in a passive position."

Looking at the map in front of him, Xiong Tingbi continued to stroke his beard and wonder if there were any loopholes in the current layout of the Liaodong army.

Zhang Mingshi and Qi Jin led 300 Cheying Zhejiang soldiers stationed in Shenyang. Among them, the only real Qi family army was [-] real soldiers led by Qi Jin.

But what his men can really fight are the more than 1 soldiers mobilized from Shanxi, Ningxia and other places led by He Shixian.

Tong Zhongkui led [-] Sichuan soldiers to Baitapu and joined [-] Liao soldiers led by the former garrison general Zhu Wanliang.

Three thousand stone pillar chieftain soldiers led by Qin Bangping were stationed in Liaoyang, plus seven thousand Wujing camp led by Jiang Bi.

Four thousand chief Yang chieftain soldiers led by Ran Tianlong were stationed at Hupiyi.

Fengji Fort is stationed with commander-in-chief You Shigong, Li Bingcheng, Zhang Liangce and others, with [-] troops.

In this case, how does Jiannu want to fight?
"Qi Jin, Hou Shilu."

"The end is here!"

Hearing this, the two people named by Xiong Tingbi quickly came out and handed over.

"After I leave the city, you two will be responsible for the city's defense. Block all the city gates. I will not open the door until I return to Liaoyang."

"The last general takes orders!"

Hearing this, Qi Jin and Hou Shilu had solemn expressions on their faces, indicating that they were going to defend Liaoyang City to the death.

There is enough food and grass in the city to feed an army of [-] people for two months, so there will be no need to worry about food and grass in the short term.As long as they don't run out of the city and fight with Jiannu in the field, Liaoyang City will never be broken.

"He Shixian."

"At the end of the day, I will go to each camp and select five hundred elite cavalry to serve as the eyes and ears of the army. I will find out where the main force of establishing slaves is."

"The last general takes orders!"

When He Jiu Mengzi heard that he was asked to go out of the city to fight with Jiannu, and that he could also choose cavalry from other battalions, he immediately handed over the offer happily.

"Instruct all battalions to assemble and stand by, so that they can go out of the city with me at any time to fight against Jian Nu!"

"Yes!"

When the generals in the hall heard Xiong Tingbi's words, they all raised their hands in response.

And just when Xiong Tingbi began to gather his troops and prepare to confront Nurhaci again.

Nurhachi also had a headache.

This is a tiger eating from the sky, there is no way to eat it.

The soldiers stationed by Xiong Tingbi at Dongzhou Fort, Magendan Fort, and Sanyangyu Fort were all local Liao soldiers. They did not even let in the guest soldiers, making it clear that they did not intend to defend.

"This son-of-a-bitch bear doesn't look like a man at all."

After entering Fushun Pass and entering Fushun City, after hearing the report about Shenyang, Nurhachi whipped his horse whip on the city wall.

Except for the three thousand soldiers and horses who escorted a thousand Jiangmen to Baitapu, there was no movement at all in Shenyang City.

"Is there any news from Huang Taiji?"

"Back to the Great Khan, not yet."

Hearing this, Baoyi hurriedly replied beside Nurhachi.

"Don't release it so early! Wait until it's close before releasing it!"

On the wall of Fengji Fort, Ming army generals were shouting loudly.

Zhang Liangce patrolled back and forth on the top of the city, directing his soldiers to defend.

"Keep the rhythm, fire the firecrackers first, and then fire the crossbows after firing the firecrackers. Don't leave any gaps. Leave all these wild boar skins under the city!"

The Ming Dynasty's army might not be able to defeat Jiannu in a field battle.

But I'm really not afraid of fighting a siege. I have no choice. The geographical advantage is there.

Even if it is a tentative siege, the losses of the slaves will be greater than those of the Ming army defending the city.

On the highest watchtower, You Shigong and Li Bingcheng were observing the Jiannu soldiers and horses outside the city.

"How many people are here? What about the flag soldiers and horses?"

Looking at Jiannu who was already lined up, You Shigong asked confused.

"It looks like there are three or four thousand, and it looks like they belong to the two blue flags."

Putting down his hand on his eyes, Li Bingcheng replied.

"Damn, you're wasting my gunpowder."

Seeing Jiannu's soldiers and horses charging halfway up, the Ming army fired a few cannons before Jiannu ordered his troops to retreat, You Shigong couldn't help but cursed.

"Tell the brothers, keep it tight for me, don't fire before we've advanced two hundred steps!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, a messenger immediately went down to deliver the order.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

At the same time, on the city wall of Hupiyi, Ran Tianlong looked at the Jiannu arrayed outside the city, and looked at his brother, Ran Yuelong, a native official of Chief Yang.

The chieftains of Emirate Yang can be said to be a 5000-cent party that prepares their own dry food. [-] of them came, but most of them didn't even think about going back.

And the purpose is also very simple, to prove his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, so as to win the seal of the Xuanwei Envoy.

Yes, the current boss of Chief Yang Chieftain is still called Tuguan, not Xuanweishi.

"Damn it, 3000 people dared to attack Hupiyi. Who are you looking down on? If it weren't for Xiong Manzi's military order not to leave the city to fight, I would have to go out and let you know why the flowers are so red."

Looking at the Jiannu soldiers who had completed their formation outside the city, Ran Yuelong only felt his hands itching.

I really want to go out and do something.
