Chapter 416 Slowly torture

The large piece of horse meat was stewed in a large pot, and the aroma spread far. The soldiers of Dengzhou camp looked at the meat in the pot eagerly, but why was it not cooked? Many people were swallowing. The compressed biscuits and canned food were already tired of eating it. After so many days of fighting, they finally could eat fresh meat. The horse meat tasted very average and was definitely better than canned food and biscuits.

Compared with the soldiers of Dengzhou camp, the Manchu and Han prisoners were completely incomprehensible. Isn’t it just horse meat? That thing is so unpalatable. The canned food and biscuits in front of me are delicious. This thing produced in modern times, with starch and various additives, has become a delicious food in the mouths of these prisoners. Please, it is the taste of seasonings, and it really has no nutritional stuff.

A Yuan likes to eat canned food, cut it into slices, skewed it with wooden sticks, and grilled it on the fire. When the hot oil drips down, the browned lunch meat is very hot, but the little girl is not afraid, and she eats it very vigorously with bites.

Wang Ben looked at her skillfully eating a can, and looked at the other cans in the box reluctantly, and was really unable to complain. He quickly said, "If you like it, take it away, and there are biscuits."

"I took it away, what do you eat?" A Yuan looked at him in disbelief. There is such delicious food in this world that he actually gave it to others casually? This is unscientific! Wang Ben tried hard to make himself more serious, and said to his clear eyes very seriously: "I like to drink millet porridge. It would be better if I could put some meat and peeled eggs. Pancakes and white flour steamed buns are also good, and they also need to have green onion dipping sauce."

"Oh, I understand. I will make it for you tonight. But I will agree first. I can only cook porridge and meat, and I won't know anything else." A Yuan, who was full of joy, left with a box of canned food and went to the hospital to find her brother. Before leaving, he said: "Thank you, master." Wang Ben almost fell down and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. The woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was still time to correct her thoughts.

The soldiers were scalding steamed buns with horse meat, and they were very happy to eat. The prisoners were also very happy to eat the fighting rations. The scene was unexpectedly harmonious. No one tried to escape. Later, Wang Ben realized that one didn't want to run away because the food was very good, and the canned food and biscuits tasted so good. The other didn't dare to run away. Following the rules, running away one person. Others would be in trouble. Therefore, the prisoners of war were very conscious and supervising each other. Maybe they were discovered and taken down by their own people before they ran away.

Manchus respected the strong. Dengzhou camp was the strong. Since he was defeated and became a slave, he would obey his life. It seemed that life here was very good. Even if he later changed to fried noodles, the taste was much better than dry meat.

The captives had unexpected obsession with iron tools. After the fire in Huangniwa was extinguished, many people asked to go back, but Wang Ben agreed. He sent a small team of soldiers to watch them. When he came back, there were almost everyone who returned, and almost everyone holding an iron tool in his hands. The most were iron pots, and then hoes and other things.

After confirming that the Mongols were withdrawn, Wang Ben left a team that did not take over at night to continue supervision, and the main force began to continue cleaning in the direction of Liaoyang. Shandong soldiers and a Yi battalion that were behind came up, carrying a large amount of supplies. The Liaohe River was about to be frozen, and the fleet had to go back, which was impossible.

After the two armies merged, Wang Ben had more than 30,000 troops in his hands, and he became even more courageous. He went east and divided his troops into two groups. He continued to go north, pulling out Changsheng Fort and Changyong Fort to be alert to the Mongols who might still come. The main force went east, pulled out Chang'an Fort, and after Wang Daren stationed, he threatened the Qing army's reinforcement route from the west.

Chang Shiren cleaned the surrounding area in an orderly manner, and took five days to clean up the area south of the Prince River and a 50-mile radius. The main force set up camp in the south and southeast directions and set up a battle formation. After the weather was cold, the land of Liaodong would become very hard, and there was no need to rely on digging tunnels. Similarly, on the outer positions under Liaoyang City, the Qing army also gave up digging more gullies.

The battlefield became unexpectedly calm, and both sides knew that this was the tranquility before the fierce battle.

When Fan Wencheng met Haoge, his first sentence said: "Big Beile, the emperor said he was staying in Shengjing, and the servant invited him to help. If he went to fight, he would not be able to kill the enemy. If he could give advice, he could still do it."

Haoge didn't like this guy very much, but he didn't show up at this time. He pulled him up to the top of the city and pointed to the camp outside Mianyuan without realizing it and said, "Look, what can I do to defeat them?"

Fan Wencheng answered honestly: "It is impossible to defeat, you can only hold on for one day. Just like the Ming army guarding the capital, we can't stand it. We also have to turn Liaoyang City into a large tomb, bury Dengzhou Camp, and bury ourselves." This sentence is extremely firm. Fan Wencheng is already old and he doesn't have much life anymore. This is to pull Haoge to die together.

Haoge was very unhappy, but he also knew that this was an opportunity. As long as he defended Liaoyang, no one would shake his heir position. "Okay, you say, I will do it." Haoge knew that at this time, he would definitely be better than his random thoughts.

Fan Wencheng smiled with satisfaction. He knew Haoge's attitude towards him very well, but he still came. Why? Because he knew Haoge very well and knew what he wanted in his heart? "There are 30,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners in Liaoyang City, 20,000 Han troops and Eight Banners. There are more than 50,000 people. These forces must be mobilized. Before that, let me ask, how about the food and grass?"

Haoge answered very simply: "One hundred thousand people, two months of eating will definitely be enough."

Fan Wencheng said: "That's good. I think two months should be enough. As long as there is heavy snow, Dengzhou Camp will have to retreat by itself. Seeing that there are no trenches and fences outside the city? The troops are too few now, and 20,000 Han army and Eight Banners soldiers are sent out. Then, block the city gates. The people in the city, under forty and over fourteen, must be armed and go to the top of the city to help fight. Women cannot be idle either. The old and weak help cook and wash clothes, the middle-aged help take care of the wounded, and encourage the soldiers who are fighting. The houses in the city must be made some changes, and they must be prepared to rush into the city once the Dengzhou Camp rushes into the city. In short, everyone must understand that Liaoyang City is a dead land and no one can go out alive unless they defeat the green soldiers in Dengzhou Camp."

Haoge felt cold in his heart. This old servant with gray hair was so cruel. He was cruel to others and even more cruel to himself.

Haug knew he was right and nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll do what you said, I'll shoot you a thousand people."

Fan Wencheng bowed lightly: "The slave devoted his life to his death."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hot air balloon floated from the sky. Haoge glanced helplessly and pulled Fan Wencheng to squat down. When Fan Wencheng was puzzled, a thud in the sky. Less than fifty meters away, a guy who was not hidden was shot and the soldier who fell in a pool of blood screamed. The place where he was shot was on his back, and these hot air balloons were ghosts.

Fan Wencheng saw it clearly and immediately suggested: "Master Beile, please let me remove the door panel, apply a layer of mud, tie pillars to the battlements, and build some sheds. I have tried it and it can block the gun."

Haoge was almost driven crazy by these hot air balloons these two days, and immediately nodded, "Okay, recruit immediately." He was thinking in his heart that scholars still had many ideas, no wonder Ama wanted to use Han scholars. Fan Wencheng said again, "Now prepare first, it's time to get it at night." Haoge nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. In two days, the cold gunmen on these hot air balloons killed and injured more than 200 people. The city was full of frightened birds.

At night, the city was busy with torches everywhere. Hot air balloons would not be moved at night, and this would have no impact on their work. After receiving the report, Chang Shiren immediately came to an observation post in front. After careful observation, he sneered twice: "Let the hot air balloon not bring sharpshooters tomorrow. Take a few strong people and throw iron bombs down."

This is a new weapon, casting pig iron, loading 50 kilograms, plus iron shells, weighing more than 100 kilograms. The disadvantage is that you can only carry three such bombs at a time. Chang Shiren has more than 20 hot air balloons in his hand, and it is a little less, and it is still possible to do concentrated bombing. Anyway, I didn’t think about going to Liaoyang too fast and slowly torture the opponent’s nerves.

As for the Jiannu army in Zhili, Chang Shiren had never been worried. Lord Zhongcheng personally brought elite cavalry to fight. Even if Jiannu wanted to retreat, he could not withdraw smoothly. The feeling of being sneak attacked by rockets along the way must be very soul-stirring.

After working hard all night, Haoge felt safe. A shed was built on the top of the city. When the hot air balloon flew over again, there was a cheer on the top of the city. If you have the ability, you can shoot a cold gun again. The hot air balloon that flew very slowly slowly to the sky above the shed. This time the height was close to one hundred meters. A black thing was thrown away. When the Qing army on the top of the city didn't understand what it was, it blew up! The bomb exploded, and the onlookers stared at the falling bomb and looked curiously, and more than a dozen were killed by curiosity.

The splashing iron sheets easily penetrated people's bodies, and the door panels and tents were also blown out of sieve-like holes. Several people hiding in the shed were still hit by iron fragments and fell to the ground screaming.

Boom boom boom, one after another, bombs fell down, and there were chaos on the top of the city, and people kept running below the city. In an instant, this section of the city wall, which had not much fighting will, was pulled out one layer.

Guangzong, thirty miles away from Julu, and thirty miles away from Jize. Chen Xie personally led the main force to camp here for rest and recuperation. Sun Lin, who turned into a combat staff member, walked into the tent and saw Chen Xie who was thinking, and stepped forward and said, "Zhongcheng, the news is back. Supervisor Lu retreated to Julu, and the military commander Gao was in Jize. Did he send someone to deliver a letter to them?"

Chen Xie shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go to Julu tomorrow morning. What a bullshit battle I'm fighting? I have tens of thousands of people in Guangzong. They don't even know that they won't send anyone to contact him."

Sun Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhongcheng, General Secretary Lu has only more than 5,000 people. Gao Jianjun has 50,000 people."

Chen Xie sneered disdainfully: "Gao Qiqian is afraid of the enemy and waits for Lu Jiandou to defeat. I understand what he feels so peaceful. It's so cruel. Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia have divided Lu Jiandou's troops twice. This is to die!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
