The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 305 Breaking the City in Seven Days
Gao Qiqian hurriedly asked Ding Yi to sit down and elaborate.

Dan Ding Yidao, after the siege of Dengzhou, I had been diligently training rare soldiers, specially used to break through the city. Unexpectedly, Zhao Baihe from the capital came here and messed up my deployment.

Gao and Zhu hurriedly scolded Zhao Baihe first, but they knew in their hearts that His Majesty must have listened to the slander.

That day everyone said it was the courtiers, the courtiers, but in fact they dare not say Chongzhen.

Ding Yi sighed again, "Right now I don't dare to do meritorious service, and I don't want to use all my strength. I'm too good at fighting. Others say I can destroy a hundred thousand soldiers. If I can't fight, others will say I'm useless."

"General Ding, you can't do this. We still believe in you." Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian quickly persuaded Ding Yi.

Ask him to put the bigger picture first.

Ding Yi said again, I offended Jin Yiwei, what if I don't have credit for the victory?
Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian knew what it meant, and Ding Yi was afraid that Chongzhen would be angry about this matter, so he would not give credit afterwards. The two of them patted their chests together and promised that as long as you can quickly break through Dengzhou, we will guarantee your credit.

Zhu Dadian even said, what do you want, you say.

This meaning is also very obvious.

Ding Yi finally got to the point.

I can break Dengzhou in seven days.

But I have conditions, and I will tell the two of them about a few conditions.

The two hesitated for a while, argued with Ding Yi, and quickly reached an agreement.

On the second day, he rose up and sneaked up to the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the guerrilla troops gathered in the above tent.

Gao Qiqian said angrily, "Although we have won a great victory when we send troops from Changyi, they cannot conquer the city for several months. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers have consumed a lot of food. The local people are already miserable."

"The ministers of the court and the central government made a lot of accusations, saying that the most elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are here. The small Dengzhou City has not been captured for several months. What should we do?"

As he spoke, Gao Qiqian patted the table and scolded.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Gao Qiqian was still in a good mood a few days ago, and he didn't get angry, why did he suddenly get angry.

The commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom has a strange way, and when the Hongyi cannons in the capital come over, they will surely be able to overcome them.

Keeping up the latent anger, the cannon came and went for another month, and if we continued to fight, we would run out of food.

The generals were speechless, not knowing what to say.

Gao Qiqian said again: "I have made up my mind. I want to prepare for a general attack. The whole army must conquer the city."

When all the generals heard this, they persuaded them one after another.

Kong Youde was very good at using troops, and Dongjiang also had elite soldiers and horses. Last year, the officers and soldiers attacked many times, and the casualties were insignificant.

Even Zhu Dadian advised Gao Qiqian to calm down.

Gao Qiqian glared at the surroundings: "Soldiers, generals, no one dares to attack the city?"

All the generals bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look directly.

Ding Yi in the crowd stretched out his hand and tugged at Xu Fuzou, winking.

Xu Xin understood, took a step forward, cupped his fists, and said loudly: "Dongjiang soldiers invite you to attack the city."

There was an uproar all around, and many people glared at Xu Fuzou.

Ants attacked the city, causing heavy casualties, and all the generals didn't want to fight like this. What can you do with the surname Xu?
But right now I have to admire Xu Fuzou for having the courage to attack the city.

Gao Qiqian was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is courageous, Dongjiang soldiers are elite, how many troops and horses do you want to attack over there? How long will it take?"

Xu Fuzuo was stunned for a moment. He trusted Ding Yi unconditionally. After seeing Ding Yi's face, he reflexively said that he really wanted to fight, and he didn't know.

Can't help but look back at Ding Yi.

Ding Yi also hurried to his side: "Dongjiang only needs a section of [-]-meter wall, and our troops and horses will be enough to attack within seven days."

"There is no joke in the army, General Ding, you can be regarded as a military order." Someone in the big tent immediately said in a strange way.

When everyone turned their heads, it was Liu Zeqing, the volunteer general.

Gao Qiqian also felt that Ding Yi was a bit daring, everyone in front hadn't captured it for more than half a year, you only need seven days?

"General Ding, have you thought it through?" He reminded carefully.

Ding Yi glanced at Xu Fuzou, and the two said in unison: "Think very clearly."

Ding Yi said again: "But we need the help of all the ministries to share the great achievements."

This sentence is still human, Wu Xiang and others listened and nodded secretly.

At present, Gao Qiqian did not hesitate, and decided that all the ministries would cooperate with Ding Yi to attack the city.

This battle was under the full command of Xu Fuzuo, and it was actually Ding Yi who was in command.

After leaving the big tent, Xu Fuzou became anxious: "Brother Ding, how can we fight this? I can only rely on you."

"Don't worry, Brother Xu, can I still trick you?"

Xu Fuzuo thought about it too, Ding Yi is my brother.

Immediately after leaving the camp, the two mounted their horses, led a group of soldiers, and circled twice in three directions along Dengzhou City.

Ding Yi quickly chose the main attack on the west side, which was more than 200 meters away from the gate of the west city.

After choosing a place, he went to Xu Fu's Zou camp and summoned all Xu's soldiers and horses.

Ding Yi rode on his horse, looked at them one by one, and suddenly said loudly: "I want to choose five hundred warriors to attack the city."

"Five taels of silver per person, and the first to go to the city will get another ten taels, and the official will be promoted to two levels."

"If you die in battle, the silver will be given to your family or relatives and friends, and 20 taels of compensation will be given to you."

"After returning to Phi Island, each person will be allocated ten acres of land. Has anyone signed up?"

Xu Fuzuo was dumbfounded when he heard it, rewarding silver is still a trivial matter, and this is the first time he heard about Fentian, but when the matter came to an end, of course he didn't dare to hum, he agreed first before talking.

As soon as Ding Yi mentioned this condition, the eyes of all the troops in Pidao were brightened. Silver is still a trivial matter. Promotion to two ranks and ten acres of land is what attracts people.

"General Ding Shen means what he says?" A general asked on the spot.

Because Ding Yi is not an official on Phi Island.

Xu Fuzuo was furious, and immediately said: "General Ding's words are the words of this general soldier, and they must count."

"I want to attack the city." President Ba stood up immediately.

"Count me in."

"I'll go as well."

A large number of soldiers and horses stood up.

Someone in the crowd raised his hand suddenly: "I want to ask, if I can survive, can I go to Lushun."

There was a sudden silence all around, Xu Fuzuo and Ding Yi were very embarrassed now.

Ding Yi was also a little embarrassed. He poached too many corners before, but now the Dongjiang soldiers all know that Lushun is good.

Xu Fuzuo blushed, thinking in his heart that Ding Yi is my real brother, and nodded fiercely: "Yes, if you are willing to go, I agree."

Xu Fuzou only had less than [-] soldiers and horses, and Ding Yi quickly picked out [-] strong soldiers.

Because there are too many people who signed up, there are still three hundred as the back team.

Eight hundred warriors were taken by Ding Yi to Ding Yi's camp.

Xu Fuzuo also followed, wanting to see how he broke the city.

Of course Ding Yi will not use himself to break the old routine of Fuzhou Jinzhou.

Hou Jin had already learned the routine of hitting the city gate with cannons, and he could never teach the Ming army to learn it.

Moreover, Kong Youde defended better than Houjin, and had more cannons than the Ming army, so this trick definitely won't work.

At this time, the spear and shield soldiers in Ding Yi's battalion were busy.

Ding Yi's shield has two iron rods on the left and right, which are used to nail the shield to the ground when the anti-cavalry charges, and there is another one at the back, which is triangular.

Each shield has three iron bars.

The spear and shield soldiers unloaded the iron rods one after another, and then covered the eight hundred warriors with a piece of wood on the right arm, and then tied six iron rods.

Xu Fuzuo and the others looked puzzled.

After Ding Yi asked one of them to tie him up, the other raised his knife and chopped him down.

The predecessor raised his right arm.

At that time, the other party slashed at his arm, but was blocked by iron rods and wooden boards.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Ding Yi learned this trick from Zhou Fugui in the Battle of Jinzhou.

On that day, Zhou Fugui tied a knife to his chest and blocked a shotgun. Afterwards, the defenders reported to the superiors, and Ding Yi took note of it at that time.

Hou Jin learned from him to attack the city, and he also learned from Hou Jin to attack the city.

Everyone learns from each other.
