I am the carpenter king

Chapter 496 2 Army confrontation

Standing on the top of the wall with a serious face, Mangui's face is very serious, his brows are slightly frowned, as if he is thinking about some serious problem.When the moon is in the sky, Mangui always feels that something is going to happen in his heart, and he can't sleep no matter what.

Suddenly heard footsteps behind him, Man Gui didn't turn his head, but asked lightly: "Is there anything? Don't bother me if there is nothing!"

"General Man seems to have something on his mind, I wonder if I can talk to this officer?" The visitor was taken aback when he heard Man Gui's words, then smiled lightly, walked to Man Gui's side, and said softly.

At first he thought it was his own soldier, but he realized it was not when he heard the words. Man Gui hurriedly bowed and said rudely, "The last general didn't know that your excellency was coming, it is really rude!" The person who came was none other than the governor Wang Yuanya.

Gently waving his hand, Wang Yuanya said with a smile: "General Man, don't be too polite, don't care about these empty courtesy at this time."

"Yes, my lord! I heard that the people seem to be not very stable these days. Is there anything I can do for you?" Mangui looked sincere, as if he really wanted to discuss this matter with Wang Yuanya.

However, Wang Yuanya was obviously not in the mood. Most of the people came to help. After these few days of persistence, the people's confidence increased greatly.Glancing at Man Gui, Wang Yuanya said in a low voice, "General Man, I see that you seem to be worried. I wonder what you are worried about?"

"My lord, the last general is just thinking about the war and why he is worried about it!" Man Gui quickly denied it. He had dealt with the civil servants, and he made many mistakes. The best way is to say nothing.

He glanced at Man Gui differently, but Wang Yuanya knew what he meant in an instant, and said with a smile: "General Man. It's just you and me here. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it! Don't worry about it, just treat it as a friend We chatted!" [

Mangui knew that he was hiding something, so he really didn't know how to praise him. He nodded respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, just ask. If you don't know how to say something, you can't say enough!"

"General Man, how long do you think Zunhua can hold on?" Wang Yuanya didn't ask what Man Gui was thinking, but Wang Yuanya's expression was quite complicated, as if it took a lot of effort to ask this question.

After thinking for a long time with his head down, Man Gui said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, my lord. If Zunhua can't be defended, I will send the most elite cavalry to escort you out of the city! I will personally kill you, and I will definitely keep you safe!"

Mangui is a Mongolian general. Although he has had some fights with civil officials, he is still very naive.Not to mention that Wang Yuanya didn't have such an idea, even if she had such an idea, she couldn't say it so bluntly!

Wang Yuanya's face turned red.Pointing at Mangui with his hand, he could only smile bitterly and say, "You! I am the governor, and no one who runs away from me can run away. Otherwise, even if I survive, the emperor will cut off my head! My official It is the duty to defend the land, and if the city of Zunhua is destroyed, the official should die for the country with his own body."

"Forgive me, my lord, I won't say it in a lowly position!" Man Gui also felt that what he said was not pleasant.Said with an apologetic face.

After waving his hands, Wang Yuanya asked in a deep voice, "Jianu has been attacking fiercely all day, and I am a little worried. The reinforcements are nowhere to be seen."

Hearing Wang Yuanya's words, Mangui sighed slightly, and said with some reluctance: "Jiannu's attack is crazy. Although there is plenty of food and grass in Zunhua City, there are not many defenders. If the fight continues like this, I am afraid that at most Persevere for ten days, and after ten days, I will not be sure of my humble position!"

Followed by a sigh.Wang Yuanya looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Now we can only do our best and obey the destiny. The urgent report has been sent out long ago. As for when the reinforcements will arrive, it is not up to us to decide!"

The two stood at the top of the wall indifferently.Enjoying the rare tranquility, both of them knew that there would be a fierce battle at dawn.

"My lord, there is a situation!" The official Li Xianming ran up and came behind Wang Yuanya, and said respectfully.

Wang Yuanya and Man Gui looked at each other, both of them were a little worried, and turned their heads to look at Li Xianming at the same time.Wang Yuanya frowned tightly, and said, "What is it?"

"My lord, just now another commoner came to report that he heard the sound of digging in his backyard!" Li Xianming said quickly, and at the same time pulled out a man in coarse clothes from behind.

That person seemed to know that Wang Yuanya was a high official, so he quickly dropped to the ground and kowtowed to Wang Yuanya.

Wang Yuanya glanced at Man Gui, and said with a serious face: "General Man, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Wang Yuanya is very self-aware, and knows nothing about war, so it's better to let Man Gui decide. [

Mangui didn't dare to delay the slightest, reached out his hand to greet his messenger, and said loudly: "Assemble the general's personal guards, and let Lieutenant General Li gather [-] sergeants, hurry up!"

"Yes!" The orderly didn't dare to delay, turned around and ran down quickly.

Turning his head to look at Wang Yuanya, Man Gui said respectfully, "My lord, I'm going to go and have a look, don't you know my lord?"

"Naturally, I caught up with him, so I'm going to check it out. If it's Jiannu's trick, maybe I can help!" Wang Yuanya thought for a while, then turned around and walked down the city.

A group of people, led by the farmer, came to a courtyard in the north of the city. It was not far from the city wall, but it was not close either. It was indeed a very secret location.

The people outside had already stopped carefully, and Mangui led a few people to the back of the yard cautiously, but Mangui knew that there was no need to look at it as soon as he arrived at the back, because there were already a few people standing in the yard in the dark night.Through the dim moonlight, Mangui could see that they were the men who built slaves.

The battle started right away, there was no nonsense, but it was also very simple, because he was discovered, so Jiannu was beaten back without any effort.The whole battle didn't last long, and in the end the tunnel was also collapsed by Mangui, and the plan of building slaves to sneak attack was completely bankrupt.

The sky brightened and everything returned to normal, neither side seemed to care.However, the defense in Zunhua City has become tighter, and there are people patrolling the city at any time.

However, it seemed that the morale had been hit. Jiannu hadn't launched an attack that day, and the strong attack for a few days suddenly slackened.Mangui frowned and looked at the Jiannu camp outside the city. He knew that Jiannu must have a conspiracy.

At this time, a crucial meeting was being held in the Dajin camp, and the participants were the leaders of the Eight Banners, the heads of the various Mongolian tribes and the main generals.

"Khan, this stalemate is not an option. The walls of Zunhua City are tall, and the defenders in the city are very tenacious. Siege warfare is not our strong point. If we continue to fight like this, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty may come soon!" The first one was a Mongolian leader, Legateji. His face was full of worry. If he could not plunder enough food, this winter would be difficult.

Nurhachi glanced at Legateji who was speaking, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he knew that everyone was waiting for his answer.Outraged, Nurhachi waved his hand and said, "The matter is very simple, because Ben Khan is waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, some understood, while others couldn't figure it out.

"Just now Legateji said that siege is not our forte, so we will attack our forte. The Ming army knew that Zunhua was in an emergency, and would definitely send reinforcements from the Quartet. We just waited for work and caught them by surprise. Seeing that there are still people with blank faces, Nurhachi can only continue to explain reluctantly.

"Great Khan, why did you attack Zunhua? Wouldn't it be better to encircle and not attack?" A Mongolian leader asked. As for the Eight Banners, they would not question Nurhachi's decision.

Really didn't want to explain to these people anymore, Nurhachi glanced at Dabeile Daishan who was sitting next to him, and said in a calm tone: "Daishan, please explain to them!"

"Yes, Father Khan! The attack on Zunhua City is naturally to take him down. If you can't take it down, it will also prevent the defenders in the city from going out of the city, so as not to cause trouble when we call for reinforcements!" Dai Shan Standing up, he saluted Nurhachi first, and then explained to everyone.

After appeasing the Mongols, only Nurhachi and his sons were left in the tent, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Father Khan, these Mongols are really not as good as before. I don't know what Genghis Khan would think if he knew that his descendants had become like this!" Dorgon said intentionally while playing with the dagger in his hand.But his mind didn't seem to be on this, as if he was thinking about something else.

"Okay, don't talk about these things, let's go back now! The reinforcements of the Ming army will be fought in a few days, and this battle must be fought beautifully." Nurhachi waved his hands and motioned to his sons go out.

Several people walked out after saluting, their faces were unprecedentedly dignified, and it was obvious that they had to face the battle below very seriously.Only Nurhachi was left in the tent. Looking at the map in front of him, with a smile on his lips, he said, "Sun Chengzong, Ben Khan really hopes that you are the one who will come this time!"

In the afternoon of this day, twenty miles away from the city of Zunhua, the first support army of the Ming army arrived.But Nurhachi didn't expect that this was actually a cavalry. Although there were only 2 people, it was indeed a real cavalry.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nurhachi ordered the assembly of the troops immediately, and the cavalry must be wiped out tomorrow morning.But the idea was good. Early the next morning, before Nurhachi set off, he received another message that the second support army of the Ming army had arrived.

But this time Nurhachi jumped again, and there were a total of 6 or [-] people, all of whom were cavalry!The current situation is completely beyond Nurhachi's expectations. How could the Ming army have so many cavalry? How is this possible? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass.
