414 Arrive at the Hun River to comfort the heroic spirit
How can one stay for ten days if a border city is plus 150,000 troops?
If you ask this question before the rise of the Crazy King, it will definitely make people laugh.
What a joke, can't 150,000 troops still defend a majestic city?
Unless a person like Hong Chengchou who has ulterior motives deliberately lets water out, it will be no problem for ten days, not to mention ten years.
You know, there were less than 100,000 people in Xiangyang City, but they had been holding on to the invincible Mongol Army for decades!
Unfortunately, since the rise of the Crazy King, the city seems to have lost its meaning. No matter how strong the city is, it becomes like tofu in front of the Crazy King's army, and it will be broken as soon as it is touched.
Chengdu, Xiangyang, Wuchang, Jinling, etc., I won’t talk about these famous cities in the world. Wu Sangui doesn’t know how the Crazy King’s army was captured, and how Jinan and Liaoyang were captured, but Wu Sangui is quite clear.
This time, Hong Chengchou did not let go of the water, and Shang Kexi had a 100,000 army and dozens of giant red cannons under his command. As a result, he was still vulnerable to the army of Crazy King.
It is really difficult to stick to the army of Crazy Kings for ten days!
After Wu Sangui witnessed Dorgon leading a huge team away, he began to think about it in his mind.
Although Dorgon had given up on them in most cases, if they could hold on for ten days or even longer, the Crazy King army would suffer a huge blow or even suffer heavy casualties, things could still turn around.
After all, Dorgon gave up on them because he could not see the hope of victory. If he had some hope of winning, who would not want to win?
Question, why do you stick to the army of Crazy King for more than ten days?
Wu Sangui racked his brains and really came up with a solution!
The main reason why the Crazy King army was invincible and invincible was that they had many artillery, so many that they could flatten the stack of arrows and the female walls in about a day.
Once the city wall is gone, there is basically no need to defend the battlements and women's walls. They can easily attack under the cover of muskets and artillery.
In other words, the key to defending the city is to not let the Crazy King army flatten the arrow bush and the female wall.
The solution Wu Sangui came up with was very simple, which was to add a layer of shield to the Arrow Pagoda and the Women's Wall.
The Crazy King's army has many artillery artillery, so he will definitely not be able to fight against bombing. He has no choice but to add shields to the city walls and prevent the Crazy King's army from flattening the arrow bush and the female walls. If time is enough, he can even add a layer of iron shield to the arrow bush and the female walls.
Of course, cast iron shields are very troublesome and take too long. It is impossible for them to give him so much time. What he can do now is to add a layer of wooden shield to the arrow pile and the female wall.
The wooden shield is much simpler to process, such as door panels, bed boards, tables, benches, even beams, columns, etc. After a little processing, it will be almost done by putting it on the stack of arrows and the female wall.
At this moment, all the Eight Banners children in the city ran away, and there were not too many materials in their mansions.
With the order of Wu Sangui, the 100,000 Mongol Yuan infantry immediately began to demolish the house. They demolished the houses with a lot of timber in the city as soon as they saw them, regardless of whether there were people living inside.
After one day, the entire Shenyang City seemed to have encountered a catastrophe, with ruins everywhere. Those who don’t know thought that Shenyang City had fallen.
In fact, this is not the case at all. It was not until the evening that the Crazy King's army arrived more than ten miles south of Shenyang City. Moreover, there were only more than 100,000 elite chariots and more than 200,000 infantrymen still arrived behind.
Zhu Qizhu was not in a hurry to attack the city. This was the last strong city controlled by Jiannu. After fighting Jiannu, it was basically over. He had no need to take risks.
Wu Sangui made a day in vain.
The next day, Wu Sangui made money in vain because Zhu Qizhu's more than 200,000 infantrymen had not arrived yet.
However, Zhu Qizhuo brought a group of generals to the south bank of Hunhe River early that morning, where the Qi family army and the Baigan soldiers fought bloody battles in Jiannu.
More than 20 years have passed, and there is no trace of the battlefield at that time. Only a large grave like a small hill stands alone in the place where the battle was fought.
This has been a long-standing custom. After a war, the victorious party will dig a big hole near the battlefield to bury the enemy's body, and then build a large grave on it. No matter how great the hatred is, it is no exception.
After all, it is too scary to have corpses everywhere. It will affect the lives of ordinary people under the control and easily form plagues, so it must be buried.
As for building graves on it, it is mainly because the people are afraid that they will accidentally dig them when they are building land or building houses.
Zhu Qizhe stood silently in front of the grave, and did not speak for a long time. Until his personal guards arranged the incense table, he lit a handful of incense with his own hands and served it solemnly. Then he bent down and bowed three times, comforting him: "General Tong, General Chen, all the Qi family army and Bai Gan soldiers, your bravery is admirable. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. After taking Shenyang, I will definitely erect a monument for you and let you be remembered forever."
After saying that, he bowed three times deeply, and then Muran retreated aside.
At this time, the generals who participated in the bloody battle in Hunhe were already in tears.
Qi Jin couldn't help but lie down in front of the incense table and choked and said, "General Tong, General Chen, soldiers, I'll come to see you. We have finally fought back. It's been more than 20 years, and we have finally fought back. If you wait, I will definitely kill Jiannu, avenge you, and I will definitely avenge you!"
He has also grown up at this age, and he is overly excited and is a little nonsense.
Seeing this, Ma Qiancheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, then knelt down and prayed: "General Tong, General Chen, soldiers, Ma has lived up to his original oath. Today, he finally led the army to fight here. Don't worry, Jiannu has been defeated like a mountain and cannot jump for long. We will definitely recover all the old mountains and rivers, unify the world, rest in peace, warriors."
After saying that, he put on a scent and kowtowed three times respectfully. Then Muran got up and helped Qi Jin to the side.
Next, Qin Bangping, Qin Minping, Ma Xianglin and other generals went up one by one, kowtowed and burned incense. The whole scene was extremely solemn.
Zhu Qizhe looked at the rolling water of the Hunhe River, then at the vague city in the distance, with a faint complexity in his eyes.
Is this really the last battle?
To be honest, he has no clue.
Because Jiannu was so slippery, they didn't care about their face at all, so they ran away if they couldn't beat them!
Originally, because of the Jiannu's cavalry, it became extremely difficult for the Secret Guard to spy on information since entering the Liaodong battlefield, and he was not sure about the specific movements of Jiannu.
However, just yesterday, Jiannu seemed to have started to relax. The spirit cavalry that was originally scattered between Liaoyang and Shenyang suddenly disappeared, and it became easier for the secret guards to spy on the news.
This is not a good thing, because according to the Miwei report, all the Jiannu around Chenyang City disappeared, leaving only some Liao people behind.
Moreover, these Liao people said that Jiannu suddenly ran away yesterday morning with his family and headed straight to the north without leaving a word.
To the north, that is the Korqin Grassland!
If Jiannu really escapes to the grassland, it will be troublesome.
Alas, it’s still a missed one.
