Chapter 315 stalemate
The Jin soldiers envoys ran back and forth around the city gate, shouting, and their voices spread throughout the northern gate of Jinzhou.
If you do too much of the Later Jin Dynasty, it will naturally cause fear. The Ming army on the city tower was panicked and looked left and right.
Zhao Rujiao ignored it and only increased the number of soldiers supporting the city walls to five thousand each of the city gates, plus eight thousand people on the city walls!
The military, who was originally panicked, suddenly calmed down. The cannons were shining brightly, and there was enough arrows and gunpowder, and they were ready for battle.
Since the passage of the throne of Tianqi in Liaodong, Zhu Xu has been focusing on it. He has been working hard to build it. Sixty thousand elite infantrymen and artillery are the best, not to mention that the food and grass are all available. Even if the Later Jin Dynasty besieged in March, Jinzhou would support it!
When the envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty saw that Zhao Rujiao ignored it, he had to return again by taking a horse.
After being rejected twice in a row, Zhao Shujiao proposed peace talks first. The people of the Later Jin Dynasty were angry. Even the calm Daishan and Jirgalang also said to Huang Taiji, "Khan, the Ming people are stubborn and must conquer Jinzhou City, otherwise delaying for a long time will only increase their morale!"
Huang Taiji looked at the direction of Jinzhou and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, all talents have their own character. Send people to take arrows and shoot letters of surrender into the city. Then order the troops to prepare. If Zhao Rujiao still doesn't respond, attack the city from all directions!"
"yes!"
The personal soldiers took the order and left, but the others didn't say anything when they saw this, waiting for a reply.
Whoosh swosh swosh
Arrows shot into the city, mixed with letters, and were sent to Zhao Rujiao.
Zhao Rujiao opened it and looked at it, stood at the top of the city, shouting in a deep voice: "The city can be broken, but it cannot be surrendered. If you want to fight, you can fight!"
After he said that, he turned around and said, "Tell all the city gates to prevent Jiannu from attacking the city!"
It was either one or two or three, and the generals such as Zu Dashou also understood that Jiannu was afraid of being angry and sent troops to attack the city. They all scattered out and rushed to the four gates to command the guards.
Sure enough, the Jin soldiers who were walking around the city stopped, changed their posture, and pressed towards the four gates.
"Prepare!"
"Torch!"
"Arrowman!"
As the Jin soldiers advanced, the Jinzhou city gate also stood up solemnly and was ready for battle.
The sudden tension in Jinzhou was also transmitted to various places. Cao Wenzhao, who was closest to Jinzhou, held a telescope and stared at the big basket above his head, watched the little eunuch waving the flag, and slowly interpreted it.
Jin Guoqi stood beside Cao Wenzhao and said calmly, "Sir, is there any danger in Jinzhou?"
Cao Wenzhao had only been to Liaodong for only a month. He put down his telescope and shook his head and said, "It's okay for the time being. Later, the golden army sent troops and besieged the city from all sides."
Jin Guoqi was arbitrarily guarded, and was stunned when he listened to Cao Wenzhao's words, and then said, "Is General Zhao defending the city yesterday, which angered Jiannu?"
Cao Wenzhao nodded, then smiled coldly and said, "Huang Taiji is self-righteous. The emperor has been preparing for this battle for a long time. Isn't Jinzhou City so easy to attack? I'll pass my orders, Songshan, Tashan, Xingshan, and Daxing Fort reinforcements from all over the city to reinforce Jinzhou."
Jin Guoqi also knew that Ning Yuan had sent a message, but he was not sure that Emperor Zhu Xu had arrived. He listened to Cao Wenzhao's order and smiled and said, "I am afraid that this move will be restrained by 10,000 cavalrymen in the Later Jin Dynasty!"
The four cities including Songshan and Tashan are actually not far from Jinzhou, and are formed to protect Jinzhou. If all four cities send troops, even if there are only two thousand cavalrymen in each city to deal with it, they will need eight thousand people. Moreover, Songshan will send 5,000 people at a time, at least three thousand cavalrymen will be required. If the Later Jin Dynasty wants to be fully qualified, ten thousand people will be the lowest!
Cao Wenzhao smiled and said, "Send another message to Ningyuan, please ask Master Sun to cooperate."
"Gao!" Jin Guoqi laughed. If Ningyuan had reinforcements, he could at least restrain the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Cao Wenzhao did not dare to relax, so he looked up at the big basket in the sky, and ordered soldiers to wave the flags from time to time to ask what they wanted.
The Later Jin attacked Jinzhou again.
Attacking from all directions, 80,000 people attacked the city at the same time. The scene was so big and the war was fierce, and there was no such thing as Liaodong!
Huang Taiji personally supervised the army, and all the major belles came out to attack the city with the strongest force, and he wanted to attack Jinzhou with one blow!
The war suddenly became fierce, far better than yesterday.
Zu Dashou, You Shiwei, Zhu Mei, Zuo Fu and others were all fighting to kill the enemy. The artillery fire roared, arrows were like rain, shouts of killing, screams were intertwined, and the city gates were everywhere, with blood all over the ground, broken limbs and broken arms flying across, and corpses could be seen everywhere.
However, Zhao Ruijiao was very calm. He sat in the lobby, looking at the map, and heard reports from outside from time to time. He was as majestic as a mountain, without any movement.
Ji Yong hurried in from outside, his arm was slid by an arrow, leaving a long blood mark, dyeing half of his arms red, but he didn't care about it, ran in and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhao, hurry up and go to the city to boost morale. This time Jiannu is coming fiercely, and all the city towers will not be able to hold on!"
Zhao Rujiao was indifferent and said, "Send the order to increase one thousand people in each city gate every time every incense stick, until the five thousand people are added."
Ji Yong was stunned, but this was OK. After hearing this, he ran out with a trembling sword in his hand, with blood dripping from the sword.
Zhao Rujiao looked at his back and sighed secretly, "If my Ming Dynasty military supervisors were like this, how could Liaodong be so corrupt?"
As reinforcements went upstairs, the morale at the four gates suddenly increased, with strong troops and murderous auras, blocking the Later Jin soldiers outside the city.
Especially the power of artillery, the four city gates were fired continuously, and the shells exploded like rain, and the death toll increased rapidly.
Huang Taiji stood in the distance, looking at Jinzhou City from afar, looking at the black artillery fire, with a cold expression.
Jirgalang came over from a distance, jumped off the horse and ran forward, and said in a deep voice, "Sweat, I can't continue. In just half an hour, I, Dajin, lost nearly 10,000 people!"
Huang Taiji had no expression on his face, and yesterday there were 20,000 soldiers, so the flag was gone.
Fan Wencheng did not expect that Jinzhou City would become so difficult to attack and would be so lethal. He pondered for a while, looked at Huang Taiji's side face and said in a suggestive tone, "Shank you, Jinzhou has the advantage of firearms. It is better to surround and not attack first and take down other cities. Jinzhou is alone, and you must surrender if you do not surrender."
Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, his ambitions have gradually expanded, but they have also hit a wall one after another. He wanted to take Jinzhou in one fell swoop, Ningyuan, and easily do what Nurhaci did not do, increase his prestige, and subdue the other three major belles, becoming the real khan of the Later Jin Dynasty!
If he couldn't win Jinzhou, such a big disturbance would have a great impact on his prestige.
"Han, Songshan, Xingshan has reinforcements coming to Jinzhou!"
"Da Khan, there was an abnormal movement in the Ming army in the direction of Daxing Fort."
"Khan, Ningyuan has troops out of the city!"
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up and said, "I ordered Yuetuo, Haoge, Ajige, and Dege to lead 3,000 each to destroy the reinforcements from Jinzhou. Mangurtai personally led 10,000 to annihilate the Ming army in Ningyuan!"
"Yes!" The personal soldiers took the order and left.
