The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 702 I am Ding Yi, Gaizhou will be destroyed
"You Han people have a saying, yes, when soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the soil." Du Abo laughed and said, "We have been beating Ding Yi all these years, and we have suffered a lot. Let him beat us this time." it is good."

There was a resonance all around, everyone was afraid of beating Ding Yi all these years, and finally today we can wait until he comes to beat us.

Let Ding Mouse see the iron walls of our Qing Dynasty.

It is normal for them to have such confidence. After all, in the past ten years, the entire Gaizhou has been constantly rebuilt and reinforced. It is definitely an impregnable defense.

Even Huang Taiji was amazed after seeing it. It is almost impossible to attack a city like Gaizhou, except for ants attaching no casualties, non-stop day and night, and fatigue tactics.

In mid-August, Li Sutai's urgent letter for help first went to Shengjing, and then to Huangtaiji on the front line of Songjin.

Huang Taiji laughed after seeing it at the time, saying that Ding Shuo didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he was willing to attack Gaizhou. He also said that Ding Shuo wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao, but I was not as good as he wanted.

Huang Taiji replied at that time, ordering all the ministries to strictly guard the city and kill Ding Yi's minions to the maximum extent, to see how many soldiers and horses Ding Yi had that he could consume.

Obviously, Huang Taiji was very confident in the city he built, and he didn't plan to go back to rescue it.

At that time, they had just completed the tactical arrangement for Hong Chengchou, and they were going to send troops to Bijia Mountain to seize food. Huang Taiji was very sure of victory, how could he retreat and stop his troops when he failed.

Sure enough, it was not until September that the news came that Ding Yi's soldiers and horses had just arrived at the city of Gaizhou. Other small fortresses had been breached, but the big city was safe.

At this time, Huang Taiji had already defeated the Ming army and surrounded Songshan.

Huang Taiji was even more convinced that Ding Yi was encircling Wei and saving Zhao. He made up his mind to destroy Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou first, and ordered all the cities in the country to strictly guard them so as to hold back Ding Yi's troops.

With Huang Taiji's strict order, and everyone believed that they could defend the city, the defenders of Gaizhou, Subbandai, Du Abo, etc. were very confident, and even wished that Ding Yi would attack the city immediately.

"If Ding Mouse dares to attach himself to him, he must bear the consequences of our attack on Jinzhou." Du Abo gritted his teeth even more.

It was the two white flags that rushed in to fight against Jinzhou back then. As a result, thousands of people were killed and injured, and the two white flags were severely damaged.

Du'abo's elder brother was also trapped in the city and burned alive.

Every time he thinks about this, Abo can't eat Ding Yi's flesh or drink Ding Yi's blood.

"Ding Shuo is such a lowly person, how can he be willing to let the infantry ants attach him." Li Sutai laughed.

All the generals nodded one after another, thinking it made sense.

Then they saw the Ming army resting under the city for two days. The Ming army was very strange and didn't do anything, just built a camp and rested.

Ding Yi's siege is also different from others.

Regardless of the Qing army and the Ming army, when besieging a city with heavy troops, they usually surrounded the city in a circle.

Ding Yi did not have many troops, only more than 1 people, and Gaizhou City was large, so he guarded the south and west gates with heavy troops, and some cavalry patrolled other sections of the city wall. The battalion was guarded by hundreds to thousands of people.

In this way, if the Qing soldiers wanted to escape, they could only escape through the Nanxi Gate, or put a hanging basket on the city wall.

Li Shuitai watched for two days, the Ming army didn't even bring the siege equipment and ladders, and they didn't move at all. He thought that the Ming army planned to fight Songshan just like Huang Taiji, and waited for them to surrender.

"Mice Ding must be stupid." Subanti said with a smile that day, "The grain and grass in our city is enough for us to eat for a year. Let me see if he can survive for a year."

"When the Holy One defeats Zu Dashou, he will return to the army to deal with him." Du Abo also said.

Both of them hoped that Huang Taiji would destroy Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou soon, and then come and destroy Ding Yi.

But just when everyone was complacent and thought that Ding Yi had nothing to do with him.

Early in the morning of the third day, a fast horse from the Ming army came over.

The Qing soldiers on the city wall immediately became vigilant. Li Sutai lived and boarded on the city wall these days, so he was very careful. Wen Xun rushed to the south gate immediately.

Some subordinates asked if they wanted to shoot. Li Suitai saw that there was only one Ming army, and the cannon might not hit him. He shook his head immediately: "Let's see."

After the Ming army approached, someone asked again, do you want to shoot arrows?
Li Sutai shook his head, the Ming army seemed to have sent someone to deliver a message, and so on.

Sure enough, seeing that they didn't shoot arrows, the Ming army became more courageous. After approaching 50 meters, he shot an arrow at the city wall, turned around and ran away.

The letter arrived in Li Sutai's hands immediately.

Li Sutai didn't dare to look at it alone, so he immediately summoned Subbandai and Du Abo to prove that he was interested in the Qing Dynasty.

When the three of them opened the letter, it was actually Ding Yi who came to persuade him to surrender. He also said, once the city is attacked, the whole city will be destroyed. It doesn’t matter if you die, don’t hurt the people in the city. You have an hour to open the city gate and surrender, and you will be spared. .

The three of them cursed at each other, and Subanti said, if he had known that it was a letter of persuasion, he should have ordered to shoot the arrows just now, and shoot the Ming army to death.

But a passage in the letter caught Li Shuitai's attention. After the letter, Ding Yi said, Li Shuitai, you are a relatively good general among the Tartars, and you have fought against me, Ding Yi, many times. You should believe me, I, Ding Yi, never fight uncertain battles.

I didn't come to fight Gaizhou before because I was not sure, but this time I came, Gaizhou will be destroyed.

You are a wise man and a Han Chinese, surrender, I will save your life.

Li Soltai fell into deep thought.

As Ding Yi said, he is a smart man, and he also knows that Ding Yi never fights uncertain battles.

Is he really sure to break the city?

At the end of the letter, Ding Yi said again, I will give you a chance to attack the city in a while, if you feel that you can't hold it, you should order Subbandai and Du Abo to be killed, open the door and surrender, and I will not attack later. Give you a way to survive.

Otherwise, if you don't open the city gate, I will keep attacking, and all of you will be wiped out.

At the end, the three looked at each other.

Subbandai's expression was different from Du Abo's when he saw Li Soltai.

Li Sutai immediately cursed: "Ding Shuo is really a lowly man, he is the best at using this kind of trick to sow discord."

Du Abo immediately cursed: "He is the most shameless smart person I have ever seen."

Before Ding Yi started the fight, a letter was shot over and the three of them had a gap.

After lunch at noon, the Ming army camp began to move.

The three of Li Sutai stood on the city wall and watched intently.

But the Ming army was far away, and the camp was five miles away from them, so it was impossible to see what they were doing.

After waiting for about half an hour, many large vehicles of the Ming army began to move forward.

There are horse mules in front of the cart, and there seems to be something dragging behind it.

Li Sutai kept sending people running around, watching from four directions, east, west, north, and east, and gathering the news to him.

Gaizhou City was expanded, the area became larger, and it became difficult to communicate with each other.

If Li Soltai wants to understand the dynamics of each side, he must have his own soldiers constantly running between the various sects.

After a while, the news from the four directions of southeast, northwest and north came over.

On all sides were drawn carts by the same mules.

There are more gates in the south and west, and the Ming army dragged about 300 vehicles each, lined up with a width of about [-] meters.

The southeast and north sides of Wucheng Gate are relatively small, and the Ming army dragged about ten vehicles each, also lined up.

There are also a small number of infantry following behind the cart.

The Ming army invested very few troops, and they probably knew that the Qing soldiers would not dare to come out.

Don't mention it, it will be difficult for Li Sutai to send troops out at this time, because they have blocked the city gates with mud bricks.

Even if it is not blocked, he is full of pits within 500 meters outside the city, and it will be troublesome for his soldiers and horses to go out.

Therefore, a city like theirs can't hold out and wait for the enemy to attack.

So far, he can only wait and see.

"Subandai, you go west."

"Du Abo, are you going east or north?" Li Sutai asked the two generals at this time.

Without hesitation, the two generals said in unison: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, we will defeat the Ming army."

"Break the Ming army."

After Li Sutai sent the two away, he immediately summoned his confidant Li Erniu: "Who is guarding the south gate?"

Li Erniu said in a low voice: "Du Abo's subordinate Dadan is here with more than 100 people."

Damn, if you don’t believe me, Li Shitai was shocked and angry. The three of them read the letter together just now and were picked up by Ding Yi. under.

This rat is really a pile of shit, even if Li Sutai refuses to accept it, he shoots a letter at random, making the guards suspicious of each other.

However, Li Soltai had no other thoughts.

Based on his understanding of Ding Yi, he already had a faint feeling that today is not a good day.

"Gather all my cronies, stay below on the left side, and draw another five hundred elite rifles, and wait for my order." Li Sutai said to Li Erniu.

"Promise." Li Erniu clasped his fists and walked away.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo" At this moment, the Ming army below suddenly blew the horn of attack.

Large vehicles dragged forward one after another, and kept opening the distance. Originally, there were 300 vehicles in the south, lined up at about [-] meters, but now they kept pulling away, pulling away.

The south of Gaizhou City is 200 meters long, and the last fifty vehicles are lined up on this 1000 meters.

Each vehicle is more than 20 meters apart.

The outer pit of Gaizhou City was dug to about a mile, and the cannons on it were only a few Hongyi cannons with a range of one mile.

The Ming army's carriage quickly reached a mile, and then stopped. At this time, their horses went back and pulled away the cart, which was placed a few meters behind the trebuchet.

Li Shutai and other Qing soldiers commanded, and finally saw what was behind the Qing Ming army.

"Tabuchet?"

Subbandai and Du Abo looked in disbelief, what year is it?Anyone else use a trebuchet?

This thing was popular in the Yuan Dynasty. After entering the Ming Dynasty, firearms became the army, and no one used them anymore.

Moreover, the current cities are all covered with bricks, wide and thick, so they are not afraid of trebuchets at all.

"Haha, hahaha." Du Abo looked at the east side and laughed. Ding Shuo was out of his mind and wanted to throw us with a trebuchet?

On the castle, they learned from Ding Yi and built countless bunkers. Not to mention trebuchets, they are not afraid of artillery bombardment. Many buildings in the city have been rebuilt and covered with sandbags to prevent artillery. They completely followed Ding Yi's Jinzhou and Fuzhou .

Even Kong Youde said that even if the Ming army Ding Yi had a thousand red barbarian cannons bombarding Gaizhou City, they would be able to withstand it.

"Master, do you want to fight?" At this moment, the people around Li Shuitai asked if he should use the Hongyi cannon to fight.
