The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 143 Good General Li Soltai

"Master Ezhen, let's take a look from a distance. The Ming army has about 5000 troops. From the banners, there are Xu, Chen, and Mao. It should be Xu Fuzuo, Chen Shishi, and Mao Yongyi."

In Jinzhou city, the rear golden sentry cavalry is reporting to Chidu.

Chidu is also eating at this meeting. He is drinking wine and gnawing on the leg of lamb, his mouth is full of oil.

"Hahaha, knowing that our big gold has entered the customs and the main force is not here, Minggou is so courageous, how dare he take the initiative to deliver it to your door?" Chi Du laughed loudly, and bit the lamb leg hard: "Since it is delivered to your door, don't eat it. Don't eat for nothing."

"Chidu Ezhen." Li Sutai hurriedly said: "Fourteenth Baylor has orders, let us guard it."

"Hehe." Chi Du sneered, slowly breathed out a mouthful of alcohol, and said: "Ming people are cowardly, incompetent waste, and they will collapse when they rush. You let me, a big gold warrior, also nest in the city, like Ming people Do you generally learn from turtles?"

He accused Sang of being ashamed, and deliberately scolded Li Soltai, who was born in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Shuitai blushed, but he was not angry, he thought for a while and said: "In the battle of Shenyang, if He Shixian and You Shigong, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, did not fight and defended the city, they would not be as powerful as our Dajin."

What he was talking about was the battle of the later Jin army attacking Shenyang. If He Shixian and You Shigong had defended the city, the later Jin army would not have been able to defeat Shenyang City.

He Shixian had defeated the Eight Banners Army before, and then he defended the city quite well. Later, Jin came to attack several times, and he suffered a loss. He began to underestimate the enemy in his heart, drank every day, and finally led his troops to rush out. As a result, the entire army was wiped out. He was also beheaded.

"Bastard." Chidu was furious, and threw the unfinished leg of lamb on the ground. How dare you compare me with Minggou?

Li Soltai is referring to him now, who underestimates the wise and drinks alcohol, exactly the same as He Shixian back then.

Chi Du threw away the leg of lamb, kicked the table in front of him with a slam, turned around and drew his knife, and with one lunge, it reached Li Shitai's neck: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

With a thud, Li Sutai fell to the ground on the spot: "If we can defend Jinzhou, the little one would have exchanged his life."

Li Shuitai was not well-known in history. At that time, he was still young. After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, he made great achievements many times, beating Li Zicheng, beating King Gui of the Southern Ming Dynasty, attacking Xiamen, and forcing Zheng Jing to return to Taiwan. He made great contributions, very powerful. .

Chidu was holding a knife, his face was flushed, and he almost wanted to kill Li Shitai with a knife, but he is not a brute, he must be really good, calm down and think about it, it is more important to guard Jinzhou.

"Dog, get out, the person who brought you, guard the city gate for me, if there is a mistake, you are the only one to ask." Chi Du finally gave up the idea of ​​going out and killing him.

"Hey." Li Sutai hurriedly withdrew. After going out, he wiped the sweat from his brow and shook his head again and again.

He quickly came to the city gate. At this time, the Ming army was still on the other side of the river, and he didn't know what the Ming army wanted to do.

But he immediately ordered, first, the whole army goes up the city wall, everyone prepares for a big battle, firearms, rolling logs and other defensive equipment must be ready.

At the gate of the city, send half a leader (Niulu of Houjin) to patrol back and forth, not to let the Ming people in the city approach, if anyone approaches, kill Wuhe.

Now the whole city is under strict ban, all Ming people in the city are not allowed to go out to the streets, and those who go out will be killed.

Li Shuitai is a good general, without Ding Yi, it would be difficult for the Lushun group to capture Jinzhou City with twice as many people.

It's a pity that what he met was Ding Yi who had changed his mind against the sky.

It was around two o'clock modern time in the afternoon.

Xilao finally arrived with his people and a group of Liao people pushing the Hongyi cannon.

The Ming soldiers were all dumbfounded when they saw the cannons brought to the scene.

After all, such a big cannon was usually used by the Ming army to defend the city.

Ding Yi's craftsmen made a cart, four horses pulled the carriage, and Hongyi cannons were mounted on the carriage, and they finally came to the scene.

"Just this gun? What's the use?" Mao Yongyi and Chen Youjue's gun is useless.

Xu Fuzou also felt that it was useless.

But Ding Yi issued a military order in front of him, so he couldn't say anything.

"Let's go, let's go." The whole army set out and crossed the river.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the Ming army arrived at the foot of Jinzhou City, and formed an array two miles away from the gate of the city.

Li Shuitai immediately sent someone to notify Chidu, and at the same time the whole army was preparing to meet the enemy.

There are also cannons in Jinzhou City, but they are all small cannons such as big mouth guns, Franji guns, and tiger squatting guns. There are no Hongyi cannons.

The farthest range was two miles, and there was no accuracy, so Li Sutai didn't order to fire. He was observing the formation of the Ming army.

The front of the Ming army is full of Xu's soldiers and horses, Ding Yi's in the middle, and Chen and Mao's behind and on both sides.

Xu's soldiers and horses raised many flags, which made him unable to see Ding Yi's soldiers and horses clearly in the middle. He only saw that there seemed to be a big carriage in the middle, with something behind it, and it was covered with something.

According to his guess, it may be a firearm or explosives.

Without siege equipment, are they trying to blow up my city gate?Li Sutai watched it for a while, but didn't understand what the Ming army wanted to do.

After a while, the Ming army suddenly separated from the two sides, and the things on the carriage were also pulled away.

"Hongyi cannon?" Li Sutai saw it clearly now, he was surprised and surprised, the Ming people on the other side didn't plan to use this cannon to attack the city, did they?

On the side of the Ming army, Xu's soldiers and horses stepped aside, and Xi Laojing commanded the artillery to quickly establish a position.

The hundreds of sacks used by Liao people were brought over for digging.

Soon, hundreds of sandbags were filled to the brim, and the Liao people continued to dig, and filled another hundred, and then dug again, and each person filled three, nearly four hundred sacks.

Sometimes Chen and the others are inexplicable. Is this to learn from the golden soldiers and drive the people to carry the soil to fill the ditches?
"Go." Wang Weizhong gave an order, and the Liao people rushed forward with their bags on their backs, while all the Ming soldiers stared blankly behind.

On the city wall, the people around Li Shuitai immediately asked, "Do you want to fire?"

"No rush." ​​Li Sutai immediately shook his head, at this distance, even the cannons in their city couldn't hit it, let alone hit it.

Moreover, they are all civilians, so it doesn't make much sense to hit them.

"Is the Ming army crazy? Drive your own people to fill the ditch? Hehe, Daming deserves to die." Li Sutai didn't expect the Ming army to do this.

This is something that our big gold can do.

"When you are under the city, shoot it with an arrow." He ordered.

Hey, all the generals laughed, probably despising the generals of the Ming army.

Everyone on the city wall watched the Ming people move forward.

600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters.

At this time, they have already entered the range of artillery fire at the head of the city, but if they fight at this distance, to be honest, the accuracy is really not great, and it is just a waste of gunpowder.

Suddenly, the Ming people stopped running, and they all stopped in place, and then piled up sandbags on the spot.

"..." Everyone on the city wall was stunned.

These more than 100 people took turns to put down and leave. The speed was very fast. The sandbags were quickly divided into two sides and piled up through the city wall.

After the Ming people piled up, they turned around and ran back.

"Damn." Li Sutai probably knew what Mingren wanted to do.

Build a wall, then push the artillery forward and hit their gates.

"Hit, hit the sand wall." He ordered quickly.

Boom, boom, the artillery on the city wall rang out immediately.
