East Factory Governor

Chapter 591
Qin Shuhuai thought that there were not many defenders in Qian'an City, so he did not prepare any large siege equipment, but only prepared ladders.

5 people can make one hundred aerial ladders, as long as there is a clear division of labor and assembly line work, it will take half an hour.

Qian'an City has a rectangular shape. The city walls at the south and north gates are narrow, only 500 meters long, while the east-west walls are 200 meters long.

Qin Shuhuai decided to attack the east and west gates, so that it would be easier for the troops to deploy, and at least 200 people could be charged at a time, giving full play to the superiority of troops.

After half an hour of repairing and emergency construction of the ladder, Qin Shuhuai ordered an attack at the end of the day.

Zhang Xiao commanded the Jianghe Gang Zhuquetang as the vanguard, and launched the first round of charge in the west of the city.And He Kegang commanded the coalition army composed of disciples from Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, and Emei sects to launch the first round of charge in the east of the city.

The Tazi soldiers defending the city immediately launched a counterattack.

Originally thought that there were not many Tartar soldiers in the city, but judging from the heads protruding from the west and east of the city, there were nearly 6000 people on these two walls alone.These Tazi soldiers were all well-trained, whether it was bows, arrows or blunderbusses, they were all very accurate, and even the three French cannons on each of the two city walls were also very accurate, causing heavy casualties to the coalition forces.

Zhang Xiao hurriedly sent someone to report to Qin Shuhuai, saying that there were far more Tartar soldiers in the city than expected.

After Qin Shuhuai heard this, his heart tightened. If there were many Tartar soldiers in the city, then as long as he could hold out for a day, the army of Tartars from Yongping and Santun camps would be able to arrive. At that time, it would be a disaster for them to attack from both sides!

He finally understood that he was not a genius for calculating, at best, he was just a dick who was familiar with history and liked to read military novels.This misjudgment was entirely due to the fact that I had won consecutive battles and was so dazzled by the victory that I was so conceited that I believed in every decision I made.

If this continues, it is likely to lead to a disastrous defeat for the coalition forces!

He immediately ordered to stop the attack and discuss countermeasures.

The Ming army quickly stopped the attack. They sacrificed more than 500 people in vain in this attack, and the morale of the Tartar soldiers at the top of the city was boosted. They laughed wantonly at the top of the city, mocking the Ming army.

Qin Shuhuai called He Kegang, Zhang Xiao, Wang Datong, Zhiren and other experts.Everyone sat down and discussed for a while, and decided to change the style of play and attack the south gate and the north gate instead.At the same time, the old tactics were adopted, and masters such as Wang Datong and Zhiren went to the wall to attack the enemy's city.Compared with the west gate and the east gate, the walls of the south gate and the north gate are much shorter, which is convenient for the masters to maximize their impact ability.

Among them, the south gate is the main direction of attack. At that time, all top experts will gather on the wall of the south gate and strive to win it in one fell swoop!
After the arrangements were made, without any rest, Qin Shuhuai immediately ordered to attack again!
Now he counts every second, and every time he wastes, the possibility of reinforcements from the Tartars will increase, and the crisis of the army will also increase.

Inside Qian'an city.

Wu Dahai, the leader of the left-wing Zhongxie of the Jinnan Expeditionary Army, sat firmly in the city defense yamen.He is the son of Nurhachi's brother Murhazi. Although he is under 30, he has experienced many battles and has been playing under Dorgon in recent years.Roaring in the battle of Abatai, Yuetuo and other generals, Dorgon began to emerge. This time he served as the commander of the left-wing army in the Southern Expedition, so Wu Dahai also ascended to heaven and became the leader of the left-wing army Zhongxie .

Wu Dahai originally had only 1 people in his hands, but after Dorgon captured the Santun camp, he immediately reinforced him with 7000 people to consolidate Qian'an's defense.These soldiers arrived early this morning, so now he has [-] people on hand.

With [-] elite soldiers in hand, he didn't believe that he couldn't hold out even a day in Qian'an.

"General, the Ming army has changed direction and is now attacking the north and the south." A person came to report.

Wu Dahai nodded and said, "Tell Nurke and Adahai to follow the established plan. As long as the warriors are not afraid of death, the Ming army will not even think about entering the city! As long as we defend for one day, our reinforcements will arrive. At that time, Qin Shuhuai's 6 people were the turtle in the urn! Hmph, without these [-] troops, who else in the Central Plains is our opponent?"

The man immediately became excited and shouted, "Cha!"

The Ming army launched a fierce attack on the south gate and the north gate.Since there are no large siege tools, they can only climb the ladder with shields on their hands and attack in the most primitive way.Fortunately, the Ming army had enough shields. The Jianghe gang alone brought over [-] shields. These shields are light and strong, and they can play a huge role at this time.

At the same time, within ten miles around Qian'an City, the elites of Jinyiwei and Dongchang went out and searched all possible roads leading to Santunying. camp for help.

However, Wudahai has experienced many battles and naturally designed an extremely efficient intelligence system.He had already received the news when Qin Shuhuai was still seven or eight miles away from Qian'an. At this time, his horse post had already run more than 20 miles away from Qian'an City.

27 miles northwest of Qian'an City, three horses are galloping.

At this moment, a tripping rope suddenly turned up on the ground and straightened with a "bang".

The three fast horses couldn't dodge in time, they fell one after another, and the three men with pigtails on the horses also rolled to the ground.

"kill!"

Accompanied by a burst of roaring, I saw twenty or thirty men in ragged clothes rushing out from both sides of the road.Without saying a word, these people rushed to kill the three with their knives in hand.

The reaction of the three people was not slow, they immediately drew their waist knives and started a fierce battle with these people.

Among the 30 or [-] people on the other side, one of them was very tall in life, with a strong back and a strong waist, and even more brute strength.What he used was a Guan Gong broadsword, which danced vigorously, and it seemed to have a mighty force when the knife was struck down, making people's arms numb.

Although the three resisted desperately, they were helplessly outnumbered and were quickly wiped out.

A thin man with a pockmarked face said to the hulking man, "Brother, why do you think this tartar has a pigtail like a rat's tail? It doesn't look good at all."

The thick-backed man said, "How do I know? Maybe the Tartars have less hair. In short, it's just Tartars."

The thin man chuckled, "That's right! If we kill the Tartars, it's equivalent to accepting the nomination certificate. Now that kid surnamed Qin won't suppress our Jinfeng Village, right?"

It turned out that this group of people were bandits entrenched here.Jin Da, a man with a strong back and a waist, was born with brute force. Later, after being instructed by a master, he also developed a good skill. He quickly unified the bandits and robbers in this area. Now there are five or six hundred people under his command. I suppressed him several times but failed to suppress him.

However, Kim Dae is a smart guy.He felt that being a bandit would not last long, especially when he heard that Qin Shuhuai's army had come to Ji Town, he felt that he would not be a bandit for long.Lord Qin, who is that?That is the martial arts star descending to earth!Although he came here to fight the Tartars, but what about after beating the Tartars?Didn't he just wipe out his own Jinfeng village?You must know that what he is doing in the three sides is the work of suppressing bandits, and even the Devil's Cult has never been able to do him!

So he decided to join Qin Shuhuai early.But going there empty-handed would definitely not work, so he decided to kill a few Tartars to present to Qin Shuhuai.

He had already heard that Lord Qin Hou was the most righteous of the nation, if his Jinfengzhai was successful in killing the Tartars, and then he sincerely went to seek refuge, at least he would not kill everyone.

As an old bandit, his brain is extremely active, and he knows that he can't fight head-on with the Tartars, but the Tartars have troops stationed between Santunying and Qian'an, should they contact them?If you want to contact, you have to send a horse post, and the horse post usually only goes with two or three people, so they can fight!

Therefore, Jin Da led his brothers to set up ambushes on several roads between Santunying and Qian'an. Unexpectedly, he harvested three shortly after leaving the house today.

Jin Da was in a good mood, but he still patted the skinny man on the head, cursing with a stern face, "That kid, that kid, that's called Lord Hou, Lord Qin Hou! The pillar of our Daming, I'll cut your tongue if you shout like that in the future !"

The thin man chuckled, "I remember, I remember."

"Search and see, what's on these three people." Jin Da said.

A few thieves searched carefully, and found a letter in addition to a few taels of silver.

Jin Da looked at the group of brothers around him.

Hmm... a group of mountain goods, none of them can read.

But it must be the information sent by Qian'an.No matter, send a brother to send it to Lord Hou first, so it can be regarded as a meeting.

Thinking of this, he said again, "Move the people and horses quickly, I'm afraid there are still a few waves of Tartar horse sentries coming, let's keep guarding for Lord Hou."

……

Wu Dahai never expected that his horse post was not intercepted by the Ming army, but was robbed by a group of bandits!
