Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 102 Start Siege

Five miles away from Yunmeng, Kong Youde set up camp, and then took his personal guards to check the terrain.

Originally, Kong Youde thought that as long as his army approached, maybe the bandits would open the city and surrender.But what happened along the way let Kong Youde know that this battle might not be as smooth as he thought.

After entering Hanyang Mansion, the roads and bridges in the direction of Kong Youde's army were destroyed and demolished.It took Kong Youde a lot of effort just to clear the road obstruction and restore the bridge.

In addition, the peasant guards in those villages also rose up to resist instead of surrendering, which made Kong Youde very strange.Although their combat strength was almost zero, Kong Youde was very surprised that they were unwilling to kneel down and beg for death even though they knew they were going to die.In fact, this is Kong Youde's own weird thinking. He didn't resist when the knife was almost on his neck. How stupid?But that's the way it is in the world today.Even if they encounter three or two enemies, the vast majority of those hundreds of thousands of people are waiting to die, pinning their hopes on the enemy's kindness, or hoping that the enemy may let themselves go after killing others when they are tired.

After expanding the scope to the entire country and the entire nation, it is not surprising that Han Chinese with a population of tens of millions or hundreds of millions are repeatedly bullied and slaughtered by alien races with a population of tens of thousands to 10.

What happened on the road was much more cautious in Kong Youde's heart.In this way, Kong Youde will be cautious and inspect the battlefield himself before the battle, instead of relying solely on scouts.

Yunmeng is a small city. After years of war, the city wall was severely damaged.After the security team came, they didn't have enough money and food to repair it, so they just filled in a few gaps.However, after learning that the Tartars were about to send troops, Qiu Tianxing did some research and estimated that Yunmeng might be the front line.As a result, many materials looted from Hanyang Mansion were left in Yunmeng City.After getting these materials, Ni Zhan started to repair Yunmeng City.It's just that the time was too short. When Kong Youde's troops approached the city, Ni Zhan only dug deep trenches and roughly repaired the city wall. Less than [-]% of the defense equipment was in reserve.It can be said that Yunmeng's city defense ability is extremely weak.

After probing, Kong Youde weighed it in his heart.It is not difficult to break the city. I brought ten cannons with me. If I continue to bombard the city wall, it will collapse.However, if the gangsters in the city were like those who were unwilling to surrender on the road, then the battle after entering the city would be much more difficult, and the casualties might be heavy.Yunmeng is just a small town owned by bandits, and there are as many as ten bandits in this small town.The casualties in Yunmeng were heavy, and it would be difficult to fight back.

After searching the southeast and northwest of Yunmeng City, Kong Youde went back after seeing the bandits and found that he had sent a cavalry.

After learning that the Tartars camped five miles away from the city, Ni Zhan felt nervous.I used to be a small escort, and I joined the security team for less than two years.Although he once led troops to sweep Yunmeng, but at that time the Tartars were all guarding soldiers Xiangyong. As soon as their own army arrived, they thought about how to surrender.

But now, tens of thousands of Tartars have come. According to reliable information, it is known that King Gongshun among the three kings with great military exploits leads the army.What are you?Just a little bodyguard!

Although Ni Zhan now commands a battalion of troops stationed in Yunmeng, he is a hero, but his mentality has not completely changed, and he is still silent in his identity as a bodyguard.

The reason is that Ni Zhan lacks self-confidence, and he doesn't have the confidence that an attack must be won and a battle must be overcome.It is not a good thing that Ni Zhan Nanzheng went too smoothly before, so it lacked the tempering of the war.Famous generals are formed from the accumulation of other people's bones, and the more battles they have fought, the more experience they will have.Kong Youde's army in front of him is a whetstone for Ni Zhan.

Due to the new expansion of the security regiment, the combat power is low, so this battle is mainly defensive.But defense does not mean no offense, pure defense is just sticking to it.So Ni Zhan placed [-] regiments in the city, and the remaining [-] regiments ambushed in the surrounding villages, preparing to fight back defensively.

On the first night, Kong Youde's army was stationed at the south gate, building weapons and preparing to attack the city tomorrow.Ni Zhan followed the advice of Xu Cheng, the training officer of the Seventh Battalion, and sent a brigade to carry out a night attack. As a result, the veteran Kong Youde had already built a dike, and he had to retreat to the city if the night attack failed.

After losing the first battle, Ni Zhan's heart was even heavier.

On the second day, when the sky was just dawn, Kong Youde buried the pot to make food, and at Chenshi the whole army came to the city of Yunmeng.

In this siege, Kong Youde only left one thousand green battalion soldiers and three thousand auxiliary soldiers to guard the camp, preparing to conquer Yunmeng in a battle.

As the sun rose high, a dark army stood outside the south gate of Yunmeng. This place was wide enough for a large army to gather.

Kong Youde led his troops to one mile from the south gate of Yunmeng, where Shuai Qi was stationed.Auxiliary soldiers are carrying soil in front to prepare to fill the trench, and a group of archers are behind to monitor the auxiliary soldiers and suppress the regiments on the top of the city.The elite Eight Banners soldiers surrounded the left and right, serving as the main force of the second wave of siege.There are also ten cannons lined up in front of the formation, most of which are tiger crouching cannons and Frang machine cannons.

At this time, Yunmeng City was also crowded with people, Ni Zhan looked at the crowd of Tartars, and he was even more worried, there are so many Tartars!Yunmeng is hard to defend.And some members of the regiment may have mass phobia. Seeing the huge crowd of Tartars standing together densely, they almost fainted.

At this time, Kong Youde pointed his whip forward and ordered the flag to be raised. Thousands of auxiliary soldiers shouted and rushed towards the trench with sacks full of soil.

The siege began.
