Chapter 348 Murder like fire
There are two reasons why Jianlu took the risk of bypassing Liaodong and went deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty from Xifengkou: First, they had a certain understanding of the reality of the Ming Dynasty. Under the raid, the threat to them by the Ming Dynasty was within a controllable range. Second, Liaodong was suffering from increasingly serious disasters. They were not engaged in production and had a sparse population. If they could not plunder enough food, livestock and population from the Ming Dynasty, they might collapse on their own.
Therefore, this battle was a risky move that Jianlu had to do!
The next morning, Amin and Haoge replaced Yuetuo and stared at Andingmen and Deshengmen.
They were different from Yuetuo, who came from far away. After a night of rest, their 20,000 people had recovered and their siege equipment was prepared very well. With Yuetuo's test, their strategies and tactics were also very clear.
Amin aimed at Deshengmen and the 10,000 troops slowly advanced forward.
"Give Benbeile the capital of the Southern Barbarians, gold, food, and women, you have everything you want!" Amin rode on the horse and shouted in a deep voice.
"Kill!" The Jiannu army rushed towards Deshengmen like a tide, full of murderous aura, determined to win!
Man Gui at Desheng Gate saw the difference between this army and yesterday, with a solemn expression and responded solemnly.
Opposite the Anding Gate, Haoge and Yuetuo said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take down Anding Gate first, give Amin a good look, and let you explain to your father Khan."
Yue Tuo lost yesterday and was very angry and said, "Well, you attack first, I will support you at any time."
Yue Tuo attacked the city yesterday, killing and injured nearly 5,000 people, but he still has 15,000 people, which should not be underestimated.
Haoge didn't say anything, pulled out his knife, pointed at Andingmen, and shouted: "Let the Nanman know our power, kill me, and keep no one!"
"kill!"
The Haoge is Zhengbai Banner, which was originally from Huangtaiji, and its momentum is even more different, rushing towards Andingmen with tsunamis.
Zhou Zheng at Andingmen looked at him. Perhaps he had the confidence to fight yesterday. Zhou Zheng lost his tense face yesterday and said to Cao Bianjiao: "Twenty cannons, tell the soldiers that they should let go of the cannons, as long as they don't explode the chamber."
"Yes!" Cao Bianjiao was much calmer than yesterday, and raised his hand and said.
I won once yesterday. The soldiers from Yongping Mansion on the city wall disappeared from yesterday's panic and fear. I held the knife and looked excited, and there was a hint of evil spirit.
The soldiers in front of the twenty cannons stared at the soldiers under the city, and looked at the cannon in front of them from time to time.
This is what the Military Weapons Bureau has just completed and has not been sent to Yongping Mansion. It is said that it is even more powerful than Ningyuan's Red Cannon!
When the Jianlu army was entering within two hundred feet, with the order from the city gate, twenty cannons fired almost at the same time.
Bang bang bang
A solid iron bomb shot out and fell into the tide of Jianlu.
These iron bombs will not explode, but they are too fast and may become meat paste once they are hit! Moreover, in order to increase their power, iron sheets, debris, etc. will be mixed into it, which is even more terrifying.
The sudden burst of artillery on Andingmen shocked the Jianlu army.
They had a shadow on this, and even Haoge, who was sitting on the horse behind, had a gloomy face and ugly look.
This thing seems to be their nemesis. They failed repeatedly in Liaodong, and they have all the credit for this thing!
"Attack me, I'm going to remove their cannons!" Haoge roared.
Cao Bianjiao at Andingmen seemed to be able to feel the anger of Jianlu people, with a cold expression, drew out his sword, and was ready to face the battle.
"kill!"
Soon, the Jianlu army rushed to the front and fought with the Ming army on the city wall.
Under the cover of the sound of cannons, the fighting was not as violent as yesterday, but its influence was even greater.
Jianlu attacked the city like crazy, and the soldiers defending the city tried desperately to stop it. The battle between the two sides was even more fierce than yesterday.
In the capital, with the huge sound of cannons at the city gate, many people were shocked and ran out of the door in panic.
Even Chongzhen was frightened and sat on the chair, unable to settle down, panic, and even had cold sweat on his head.
The adults were not much better. The sound of the cannon made them tremble, their bodies were chilling, and even trembled continuously.
Not to mention those low-level people, especially censors, who were restless and frightened, eventually turned into anger and wrote a letter to impeach Zhou Zheng and Man Gui. They accused them of being "incompetent in defending the city and being rampant in the enemy", "make the emperor worried, the officials frightened, and the people were uneasy", and "shake the country, and the crime was great".
Of course no one cares about these things for the time being, but the whole city of the capital was worried, and it was a fact that it could not be stable amid the sound of cannons.
Shen Yongmao ran around the city, inspected the city gates, allocated supplies, and dealt with all kinds of people.
Bi Ziyan is as busy as Zhou Qingli, and raising food alone is enough for them to have a headache.
Listening to the constant sound of cannons, Bi Ziyan frowned and tried to calm down. He told Zhou Qingli who came in: "After that incident, I will ask your son to immediately apologize for his crime and resign from his post. Don't delay any delay."
Zhou Qingli was holding a plan for distribution of grain and grass. Listening to Bi Ziyan's words, his expression moved and knew that he was trying to save the situation. He said, "Let's talk about it, the grain and grass are here, how to distribute it now? Yuan Chonghuan has urged him many times. If he doesn't give it to him, he will have to mutiny."
Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said, "What else are you talking about now? Everyone is staring at the North Gate."
Zhou Qingli couldn't help but jump in her eyelids as she listened to the constant sound of cannons, took a deep breath, and said, "Then I'll write a letter to Yuan Chonghuan to comfort him. At this time, we must not be confused!"
"I have written it." Bi Ziyan said: "We will enter the palace again to comfort the emperor in the evening."
Bi Ziyan was also a person in the officialdom for many years and knew that the troubles of the Ming Dynasty were not outside but inside.
Zhou Qingli understood Bi Ziyan's meaning and nodded.
The north gate of the capital is still fighting fiercely.
Jianlu had no time and no too much force, so he could only attack.
At Andingmen, Jianlu was murderous intent and rushed up desperately. People kept carrying bodies and wounded soldiers down the high wall.
Cao Bianjiao's armor was covered with blood. He came to Zhou Zheng and said, "Sir, let's go. Today's Jianlu is much stronger than yesterday, so we can't hold on."
Zhou Zheng stood on the Arrow Tower, which was the highest point of the city wall. He could overlook Jianlu and see clearly on the city wall. He said, "Hold on for a little longer."
This is very similar to yesterday's scene. Cao Bianjiao also recalled it and knew Zhou Zheng's intention, saying, "Yes!"
Not long after, the soldiers on the city wall knew that Zhou Zheng was about to send troops to support him, and his morale remained unabated, and he fought with Jianlu on the city wall.
The more than twenty cannons were constantly firing, extremely hot, constantly watering, and the white mist was pouring.
These cannons are powerful, and each cannon will take away many people, especially the deterrent effect, which is unparalleled.
After an hour, Andingmen was shaking, but it was not broken and was still in the hands of the Ming army.
Seeing that more and more casualties were killed and injured, his eyes were full of blood-red, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent with extreme anger.
