I am the carpenter king

Chapter 501 Cannon Burns the City

Seeing Xiong Tingbi standing in front of him, Sun Chengzong in military uniform was slightly surprised, raised his head and asked, "Feibai, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

"Returning to my lord, several groups of people left Tieling City this morning, some went towards Fushun, and some went to the northwest grassland. I guess these are the people who were sent by the slaves in the city to ask for help. Does the official think you should send someone to chase after him?" Xiong Tingbi frowned slightly, as if hesitating, waiting for Sun Chengzong to make a decision.

Slightly taken aback, Sun Chengzong looked at Xiong Tingbi in surprise, and finally said with a smile: "Fei Bai, there seems to be no quarrel between me and you, if you have anything to say, you have to go around in circles!"

Xiong Tingbi blushed suddenly, even though his face was as thick as iron, he was also a little embarrassed at this time.The few groups of people asking for help did not need to intercept them at all. Now Jiannu is no longer able to organize a large-scale rescue force. The few who come are just sending heads to the Ming army, so don't worry about it at all.

When he came to find Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi naturally had other things to do, but he didn't have any good excuses to speak up, and he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to expose him for an excuse.Smiling awkwardly, Xiong Tingbi said in a very helpless way: "Your Excellency is very aware of the details, and of course the lower officials are not trying to hide from your Excellency, but just"

"It's just that there are some things that are hard to say, isn't it?" Looking at Xiong Tingbi playfully, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Of course I can pretend to be confused, but I think Fei Bai doesn't need to be so out of touch, so feel free to say anything!"

"My lord, I want to direct the siege battle in person!" Xiong Tingbi was moved in his heart, his face became serious, and he said to Sun Chengzong.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi with a serious face, Sun Chengzong's surprised expression flashed across his face, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Where did Fei Bai say this? Can you talk to the old man?"

"My lord, since the last battle of Shenyang City, I have not made an inch of merit so far, and I am ashamed of my trust in the emperor. The army of Liaodong has just been established, and as a strategy of Liaodong, I have no real achievements. I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down. Your subordinates!" Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Chengzong with a somewhat troubled look on his face. [

Sun Chengzong is the governor of Liaodong, so naturally he doesn't have to come in person every battle, and the people below will naturally have his share of the credit for winning.But he didn't expect Xiong Tingbi to have such worries, but he always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, Sun Chengzong understood.

In the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were used to control military generals. This rule has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Xiong Tingbi, as the Liaodong strategy, how dare the people below refuse to accept it?However, reverence and fear can't be equated, but it's not as serious as Xiong Tingbi said.

"Feibai, I'm afraid there is one more, Feibai didn't say anything!" Sun Chengzong put down the pen in his hand, took the helmet on one side and put it on, took his own sword from the weapon rack, and said with a smile.

Naturally, Xiong Tingbi didn't tell the truth, whether he wanted to compete with Sun Chengzong for credit, he didn't have the ability and didn't think about it.It's just that he hasn't fought for so long, so it's inevitable that he feels itchy. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to give up.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong even guessed his little thought, Xiong Tingbi didn't explain, but bent down again, and said, "Please help me, my lord!"

Walking over to help Xiong Tingbi up, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Why does Feibai have to be like this? Is this old man unreasonable? Besides, the matter is left to Feibai, so I don't have anything to worry about. Today I am watching the battle for Feibai! Look!" Don't let this old man down when you see Fei Bai's tough pawns!"

Xiong Tingbi immediately beamed with joy. Although he was very confident in his heart, he was only relieved when the matter came to an end.Looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, Xiong Tingbi nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Nodding with a smile, Sun Chengzong looked at Xiong Tingbi approvingly, but Xiong Tingbi never saw the worry that flashed in Sun Chengzong's eyes.With a wave of his hand, Sun Chengzong signaled Xiong Tingbi to go out, while he stayed quietly in the tent.

Sun Chengzong knew very well in his heart that he could be said to be an anomaly in the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If it is about powerful people, he can definitely be ranked among the top few.As the teacher of two generations of emperors, the chief minister of the cabinet, and at the same time commanding so many soldiers and horses.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng was probably the only one who was more powerful than himself, and those eunuchs who usurped power could not get on the table at all.When the emperor uses it, it is naturally majestic. Once the emperor has the intention to kill, it will be all dead bones in the valley.

As the saying goes, not being jealous is a mediocrity, but Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Sun Chengzong's psychology is very clear.If the general wants one to be reused, it is definitely a very good way to raise bandits, but Sun Chengzong will not do this, he just wants to pacify Liaodong

Sighing softly, now that the emperor thinks highly of himself, it is inevitable that one day he will not doubt himself, telling himself several times to know how to advance and retreat, but knowing how to advance and retreat is not the same as being able to advance and retreat!The situation in Liaodong had just opened, and Sun Chengzong couldn't let go of his mind.

Listening to the sound of horns outside, Sun Chengzong's expression became more and more determined. Even if he died in the future, this Liaodong must be calmed down. As for the merits and demerits, let future generations comment!

He strode out of the tent, looking at the assembled team, Sun Chengzong stepped forward with a serious face, and got on his horse.The Ming army had already prepared, and at this time, under the command of Sun Chengzong, they marched towards Tieling City.

In Tieling City, Abai stood at the head of the city with a serious face, his armor made him look very majestic.At this time, Abai no longer had the original elegance, and now he is more like Nurhachi's son. [

"Master Baylor, the Ming army is coming up!" A commander ran over quickly, panting with panic on his face.

Looking at the commander with a slight frown, a look of surprise flashed across Abai's face. He didn't expect that Laot, who had been with him for a long time, would do the same.After glaring at Laot fiercely, Abai lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Look at your appearance, are you still that Batulu who is not afraid of life and death?"

Laot immediately stood where he was, his face flushed red, he opened and closed his lips a few times but said nothing.Looking at the Ming army in the distance, Laot's face is no longer worried and fearful, but full of fighting spirit and determination.

Nodding his head slowly, Abai felt relieved, no matter what he must defend Tieling.Once Tieling was occupied by the Ming army, Kaiyuan would not be able to keep it, that was for sure.If Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost, Abai couldn't imagine the consequences.

Now that Nurhachi is leading troops to fight in the northwest, once Kaiyuan and Tieling are lost, it means that the back road is cut off.Nurhachi wanted to break Sun Chengzong's blockade, but Abai found it difficult.If you take a detour, it will be even more troublesome.It is already October, and winter has quietly come. If we make a detour at this time, I am afraid that the army will be buried by heavy snow.

I don't know why the Ming army stopped attacking Tieling at this time, or why the Ming army has so many troops, Abai can't think about it, let alone dare to think about it.Thinking of the consequences of losing Kaiyuan and Tieling, Abaddon shuddered and clenched his fists tightly, even if he died in battle, he could not lose Kaiyuan and Tieling.

The Ming army had already formed an formation outside the city, and Abaiqin's command on the top of the city represented his banner standing on the top of the city.He has passed down the order, as long as he persists until the arrival of the Great Khan's reinforcements, everyone will be rewarded.

It was Xiong Tingbi who commanded the siege battle, and it was the newly formed infantry who stretched out their hands this time. As for the [-] cavalry, Sun Chengzong would not expose it too early.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi was dressed in military uniform, with a serious face, but his eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed.I have been waiting for this day for too long, and today I finally got my wish.

Taking off the knife from his waist and poking it on the ground, Xiong Tingbi ordered the messenger on the side: "Give me an order to let the artillerymen bring all the artillery to me and come to the front, this time I want to bully and bully others! "

The orderly walked away quickly, and soon the infantry in front of the formation spread to the two wings, and several artillery pieces came out in the middle.The Ming army's cannon bearings were unfolded, fully two miles long, facing Tieling City in a semicircle.

For this expedition, Sun Chengzong didn't bring much of that kind of red cannon, but he did bring a lot of the improved Frankie cannon.This kind of cannon capable of firing five guns, after being rifled and improved, has an astonishing range of six miles, and its power has doubled.

Sun Chengzong gathered all the cannons in Liaodong, a total of [-] cannons, and now Xiong Tingbi has deployed them all.Cannons are brought up by trucks, solid iron balls, blossoms, and the latest combustion from the firearms factory.This kind of cannon wrapped in kerosene is the latest achievement of Daming Firearms Factory. This is the first time it has been used on the battlefield, but Xiong Tingbi is very confident.

Seeing this scene, Sun Chengzong, who was behind the battle formation, could only shake his head with a wry smile. It seemed that Xiong Tingbi did not plan to keep Tieling City this time, and rebuilding the city in the future would be troublesome.However, Sun Chengzong will not interfere with Xiong Tingbi. This battle must be won, and it must be won easily. Otherwise, how can morale be boosted?

The soldiers were constantly moving the cannons, and as long as Xiong Tingbi didn't order them, they would keep busy.Although the soldiers were busy quietly, everyone could see their excitement from their excited eyes.

At this time, Abai on the top of the city wall also received the report. He leaned on the crenel of the city wall and looked down. Abai suddenly felt his scalp go numb.The best way now is to withdraw the people. After all, it is too dangerous here. Wait for the Ming army to attack the city, otherwise there will be heavy losses.But Abai wouldn't do that, no matter how many people died or injured, he wouldn't do that, then Tieling wouldn't be able to hold on!

Hurriedly going up to defend the city, the Ming army made preparations before the artillery fire stopped. After all, Abai didn't know when the Ming army would come up.Looking to the west, Abai had a trace of gray on his face, and murmured, "Father, I'm afraid my son won't be able to see you again this time!"

However, his eyes quickly became firm, he touched the knife in his hand, turned to the people behind him and said, "Let people find a place to hide, and withdraw half of the people to the city, Tieling ben Baylor must guard! "

The expression of the man behind him changed a few times, and he said hesitantly: "Master Baylor, the situation is critical now, and this slave thinks that Kaiyuan and Tieling cannot all be defended, that way they can't be defended. Now that Tieling is critical, Kaiyuan's men and horses should be transferred here! Otherwise, the two We can't keep it!"

Looking back at the person who spoke, it was Hetu, his coat slave, and sighed, "You don't need to say this, Ben Bayle has already sent people, not only Kaiyuan, Fushun and Hetuala, Ben Baylor Baylor has sent someone to go!"

Hetu looked up at Abai, and said in a respectful tone: "Master Baylor, you should go down to the city too! This place is too dangerous. If something happens to Master Baylor, Tieling will not be able to defend it!"

Taking a deep look at Hetu, Abai turned around slowly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are a good slave, but you can't rely on Ben Bele to defend Tieling, you have to rely on these warriors. What you said Maybe it makes sense, but they don't think so. I am here, more than anything can boost morale! You remember, no matter what, you must live well and bring the situation here back!"

Looking at Abai in disbelief, Hetu suddenly knelt down, his lips trembling, and he said with disbelief on his face, "Master!"

"You have to remember that you have to live no matter what. Give this letter to my Fujin." Handing a letter in his arms to Hetu, Abai turned around and said loudly: "On what happened No matter what happens, Ben Baylor will be on the top of the city! We Jurchen warriors, you are all Baturu! Even if we die today, we must die bravely, so that we can live up to the title of Baturu!"

All of a sudden, roars were heard all over the city, and before the battle started, Tieling City had already begun to permeate the breath of death.Every soldier has red eyes. Originally, the chances of going to the city to survive are much greater, but now no one is vying to go to the city. Everyone has to stay on the top of the city. This is a mortal battle, and we must embrace the mortal determination.

Hearing the roar from the top of Tieling City, Xiong Tingbi was slightly taken aback, but soon there was a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth.This time, Jiannu must be hurt, and the first battle of Ming Dynasty's troops must be fought with prestige!

Ignoring Jiannu, Xiong Tingbi turned around and asked the lieutenant beside him, "How is it? Are the artillery ready?"

"Go back to your lord, everything is ready, just wait for your lord's order!" The deputy general hurriedly bowed to salute, with a cold smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Nodding his head slowly, Xiong Tingbi turned his gaze to the other general on the side, and asked with a serious face: "Is the Death Squad ready?"

"Go back to your lord, everything is ready! A death squad of 500 people can start at any time! This time, I will lead the team personally, and I will never let you down!" The general bowed and saluted. At this time, he was wearing a special The black armor, this kind of black armor has strong protection, but is lighter in weight.

Patting the general on the shoulder, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute for me to go over, I will see off the brothers of the Death Squad!"

"Yes, my lord, go back and wait!" The general nodded, turned and left!

With everything ready, Xiong Tingbi turned his attention to Tieling City. This time, he won the first battle without dragging his feet.This is Xiong Tingbi's inner thoughts, and he must win Tieling City in one go.

"Send the order, fire!" The order was very simple and the voice was not loud, but before the order was blown away with the wind, the Ming army's artillery began to roar.

There were three hundred cannons, and for a while, only the roar of the cannons could be heard. Tieling City was not buried in the gunpowder smoke, and soon lost its trace.The cannon was smashed into Tieling City as if it didn't cost money. The solid iron ball was okay, but the flower blossom killed many people.But the most lethal thing is burning, wherever it touches, there will be a big fire.Many people were burned to death in this way, and the screams continued one after another, but they were all suppressed by the sound of artillery.

After an unknown amount of time, the artillery finally stopped roaring, and the gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield, choking people's lungs.But no one cares about this, everyone is waiting for the smoke to clear.

Xiong Tingbi was holding a large bowl of wine in his hand, and in front of him was a crowd of death squads, each with the same equipment in their hands.The black armor and the knife are different from other people's. It was modified from the Qi family knife, and it is a melee weapon similar to the Tang knife.

Lifting the wine bowl high, Xiong Tingbi shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, brothers, go all the way!" After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl and threw the bowl in his hand hard. on the ground.

"Go all the way!" A shout suddenly sounded from behind the barracks. The shouts of mountains and tsunami, and the sound of 500 people throwing bowls were drowned in the shouts.

The death squad rushed up, carrying ladders in their hands, and several teams carried large explosive packs. Their task was to open a gap for the troops behind, and hold the gap until the soldiers behind followed.They still need the first wave to attack the city, and the death squads cannot enter unless they are brave.

For a moment, there was another cry of killing on the battlefield, and Xiong Tingbi's siege soldiers were closely behind the death squad.

Soon the smoke dissipated, and the city wall of Tieling City once again appeared in front of everyone. The originally very strong city wall was already riddled with holes.Thousands of cannons came down, and this time it was dilapidated, and several sections of the city wall had completely collapsed.

The Death Squad has already rushed in, and the soldiers of the Ming Army are also constantly rushing in. The end of this battle has been decided!

"Lord Belle, the Ming army is attacking! The city wall was blown down by the artillery, and the Ming army is attacking!" The soldier who reported the letter came to Abai, his face was terrified, he had been frightened by the Ming army's artillery fire. .

After shaking his body for a while, Abai's face became as pale as paper. He really didn't understand why things turned out like this?Originally thought that I could at least guard for a few days, so that I would have reinforcements, but I didn't expect it to end like this!

"Come on, let's leave Tieling City, and all the living people will go to Kaiyuan." There is no point in staying here any longer, Abai gritted his teeth and prepared to lead the people away.There is no need to hold on here anymore, he doesn't think that the soldiers of the Ming army can catch up with him, and he can calmly feel Kaiyuan.
