I am the carpenter king

Chapter 268 Burning Guangning City

Although Guangning City has experienced the last war, it still stands there, and there is no difference.It's just that the streets in the city are very desolate, and there is no one to be seen at all. Occasionally, the cavalry of Jian Jian slaves roar past.There are still bloodstains on the wall at the corner of the street, indicating that the place has just experienced a fierce battle, and occasionally dead bodies can be found in the corner.The doors of some houses on both sides of the street were open, the tables and chairs inside were all overturned, and there was blood on the walls of the houses.

In Guangning City, the most prosperous street no longer exists at this time. After the fire, the entire street no longer exists.There are ruins and ruins everywhere, and the burnt black wood is horizontal in the middle of the street. Occasionally, charred corpses can be seen on the street, giving off a pungent smell.Occasionally, wild dogs would run over and grab the dead body a few times, obviously it was too hungry.

Not far from this street is the residence of General Guangning. At this time, this place has become the garrison of Jiannu, and most of the troops are stationed here.Dorgon was drinking tea in the hall of the back house of the mansion. Dorgon liked this kind of fine tea very much. He put down the tea bowl gently. Dorgon said with a smile: "Duo Duo, can you not go away?" Coming and going? Just say what you have to say."

"Second Brother, we have been in Guangning City for three days, and the situation with Father Khan is also very critical. We can't wait here forever!" Different from Dorgon, Duoduo has little interest in tea. None, in comparison, he prefers the spirits of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at Duo Duo who looked rather anxious, Dorgon said with a smile: "Calm down, don't worry too much, we don't need to worry about Father Khan."

"We took away one banner of troops, Huang Taiji took away one banner of troops, there was still one banner of troops in Kaiyuan, and there were only five banners left in Fu Khan's place. Although they have formed an alliance with the Mongolian tribes, they can come out There are not many soldiers and horses. They followed Huang Taiji to 9, and the rest is about 15. Father Khan can command [-] horses. Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department brought [-] horses. , we should go back earlier to help Father Khan." Duoduo sat on the chair and looked at Dorgon.Said with a rather anxious look.

Smiling and shaking his head, Dorgon said in a soft tone: "Duo Duo, as a general, first of all, the mountain collapses and the color remains unchanged, and read more books in the future! Father Khan raised his troops with thirteen sets of armor, so There have been hundreds of battles over the years, with few defeats. Sarhu has come here when it is so dangerous, let alone now? If it wasn’t for his father Khan’s tricks this time, would Lin Dan Khan come? Lin Dan Khan, who has 20 horses, is right Father Khan fears him like a tiger. Naturally, he has his reasons."

Slowly nodded, Duoduo still frowned and said: "But even so, we can't stay in Guangning! I don't feel good doing nothing now!"

"Don't worry, we will have things to do soon, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will not let us occupy Guangning City." With a confident smile, Dorgon said calmly.

"Second brother, if people from the Ming Dynasty come, what should we do? Do we stick to Guangning City?" Looking at Dorgon with a calm face, Duoduo said hesitantly.

Gently shook his head.Dorgon said with a smile: "Our Dajin is cavalry, and we are good at field battles. Defending cities and attacking fortifications has always been our weakness. In comparison, although the army of the Ming Dynasty is not good at field warfare, it is good at defending cities and attacking fortifications." But he is much stronger than me. Among other things, as long as the troops of the Ming Dynasty bring over a dozen cannons, how long can Guangning City last?"

Looking at Dorgon for some unknown reason, Dodo asked hesitantly, "Then what shall we do?"

"Our things are almost packed. When the army of the Ming Dynasty arrives, we will leave Guangning City. Before leaving, set a big fire in the city, and we will go back along the original road. Ten miles outside Guangning City place. We can wait for the troops of the Ming Dynasty, and if they dare to come after them, then we can play with them!" Dorgon said with a smile, looking forward to it.

"But second brother, if the Ming army surrounds Guangning City, won't we be unable to get out?" Looking at Dorgon with a frown, Duoduo said worriedly.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Dorgon said helplessly: "Duo Duo, you! I really don't know what to say about you. What are our Dajin cavalry good at? We have fifteen thousand elite cavalry , How many Ming troops can block our impact?"

Nodding slowly, Doduo wanted to say something, but another soldier ran in quickly from outside.The soldiers came to the house, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Report! Dutong, the Ming army is coming outside!"

Dorgon glanced at Duo Duo, and said with a smile: "How is it? I said that we will not be idle, and the Ming Dynasty will not look at those who occupy Guangning City. You see, it is here now?"

Smiling at Dorgon, Dodo said anxiously: "Second brother, let's go up the city wall!"

Slowly nodding his head, Dorgon stood up slowly, and strode outside.

The flag of the Ming Dynasty outside the city of Guangning was fluttering in the wind. Below the flag were two generals sitting on horseback, with a group of soldiers from the Ming army behind them.Every soldier is full of energy, and it can be seen that these are elite, well-equipped and well-trained.

There are more than 30 cannons lined up in front of the Ming army, all of which are tiger cannons, which were invented by General Qi Jiguang. More than 30 artillery pieces lined up there, looking very imposing, and the gunners were already ready on the side, waiting for the order of the general behind him.

Zuo Liangyu, who was sitting upright on the horse, looked quite relaxed. He glanced at Luo Yiguan beside him, and Zuo Liangyu asked curiously: "General Luo, where did these people get their artillery? They don't even think about me when they are good. How about getting some doors for me!"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Luo Yiguan said helplessly: "General Zuo, don't embarrass me. These artillery were pulled from Shenyang City to attack Guangning City, and they were all used by Qi's army back then. Marshal Xiong is an abnormal baby. After you use it up this time, you must send it back intact. How can I, Luo Yiguan, have such a good thing? How many doors do you want, General Zuo? Except for those stupid guys on the city wall Besides, how can I give you anything good?"

Shaking his head slowly, Zuo Liangyu said helplessly: "The court is poor! It's not enough to make ends meet, and it can't even pay for the military, let alone make firearms. At that time before, when Zhang Taiyue was here, the court treasury was full. Only with the prestige of the Qi Family Army. Given such good equipment, I, Zuo Liangyu, may be able to train an elite soldier, and that will be the Zuo Family Army!"

Smiling and pointing at Zuo Liangyu, Luo Yiguan said helplessly: "Just think about it, I wonder if there will be that day?"

Smiling calmly, Zuo Liangyu said confidently: "You don't know about this, don't say there are good things I won't tell you, we are going to set up a new army in Liaodong, do you know about this?"

Shaking his head lightly, Luo Yiguan asked curiously: "General Zuo, is this true?"

"Of course, how can I, Zuo Guangdou, tell lies? Of course it is true. Last time Marshal Sun came to Youtun, I had already inquired with Marshal Xiong about this matter. This matter was settled years ago. Yes, the emperor is the master, but after the new year has not calmed down, this matter has been delayed. A few days ago, I heard that Chen Hong and Eunuch Chen, who is next to the emperor, have come. Unlike the previous eunuchs, the former All the eunuchs came to Liaodong to scrape land, but now it is different. Chen Hong and Chen Gonggong are here to give money. This time the emperor is going to vigorously rectify the Liaodong army, prepare a new Liaodong army, and establish a new cavalry unit in Liaodong. I have already As Marshal Xiong and Marshal Sun have said, my requirements are not high, a cavalry commander of 1 people." Zuo Liangyu looked at Luo Yiguan and said happily.

Contrary to Zuo Liangyu's expectations, Luo Yiguan did not show any excitement, but a dignified expression.Frowning and thinking for a long time, Luo Yiguan sighed softly and said: "Luo is not like General Zuo. Although he has been in Liaodong for many years, he is really not good at cavalry training. Otherwise, he must fight hard."

Laughing loudly, Zuo Liangyu said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter. After the formation of the cavalry, many generals will definitely fall into the cavalry. At that time, it will be the time for General Luo to show his skills. General Luo's talent is obvious to all, and there must be a place for General Luo among the pawns."

Slowly nodding his head, Luo Yiguan said with a smile: "Commanding pawns is Luo's strong point, so of course Luo won't give in."

"General, the artillery is ready!" Just as the two of them were about to say something, a general walked over quickly, saluted the two of them, and said respectfully.

Slowly nodded, Luo Yiguan said with a smile: "General Zhang has worked hard, let's start!"

Seeing the general leaving, Zuo Liangyu asked with a smile: "Who is this? Why are you so polite to him?"

"General Zhang Shen is not my subordinate, he is from Shenyang City, he is the commander of these gunners. How can such a person disrespect? This is a treasure to Marshal Xiong!" Luo Yiguan looked at Zuo Liangyu with a smile, Said lightly.

"It's a treasure! I, Zuo Liangyu, don't have such a person. If I do, I must be a treasure!" Zuo Liangyu looked at General Zhang's back and said with a big smile.

While the two were chatting and laughing, thick smoke billowed suddenly in Guangning City, and the rising flames could still be faintly seen in the thick smoke.Seeing this scene, Zuo Liangyu and Luo Yiguan looked at each other, both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.Immediately afterwards, the two heard the shouts of killing from Beicheng. Obviously, Jianu came out from Beicheng, and shook his head with a wry smile. The worst result is yet to come. (To be continued..)
