Chapter 231 Siege of Daxing Fort

Chen Guoqi looked at the closed gate of Daxing Fort and sighed. For the first time, he complained to Sun Chengzong, who was in charge of the construction of the Liaodong Castle Group. Old man Sun did not train troops to build the fortress. The enemy came and only knew that he could hide in the city to pretend to be a turtle. Now, the turtle shell has become someone else's, and he will only cheat his own people.

In fact, the Guanningjin defense line is not a bad thing. From the map, it is a narrow and long castle group that is approaching Jiannu vertically. When attacking Jiannu, these castles can guarantee the logistics supply of the offensive troops. However, in the strategic stalemate stage, the castles have little effect. Moreover, the control range of these castles is too small to maintain military consumption at all. They can only rely on the Ming Dynasty's blood transfusion to consume the Ming Dynasty's national strength. Moreover, as a defense line, its word "defense" is also questionable: the Guanningjin defense line is too narrow and long, and at most it can only protect Shanhaiguan. The Great Wall is not just a breakthrough point. Jiannu can completely bypass the Guanningjin defense line and break through other gates of the Great Wall to attack the Ming Dynasty. This was exactly what Jiannu did in history.

Chen Guoqi did not send people to attack the city, the Jinyiwei had never had the experience of attacking the city, nor did he come with heavy firearms. Siege the city just caused a humiliation.

However, Chen Guoqi did not wait passively, but divided his troops to guard the front and back gates of Daxing Fort. Daxing Fort is a relatively small castle with only two gates. This is a good thing, so it will not allow Chen Guoqi to divide his troops too far.

Seeing Jiannu who was celebrating on the city wall, Chen Guoqi was furious, so he held a hunting competition in front of Daxing Fort, and the prey was naturally the enemy on the city wall. Anyway, Jiannu's bow and arrow range was less than 100 steps, so he asked the soldiers to look for prey just two hundred steps away from the city wall.

A Jiannu was wiping the cold sweat on his head on the city wall, glad that he had found a place to escape. Chen Guoqi saw from the telescope that Jiannu was too ugly and was shaking his eyes. With a command, he knocked down the ugly ghost with a "bang". The other Jiannu looked a little pretty. If he kept his hair and put on the Ming Dynasty clothes, he could be considered a handsome guy. "Beautiful than me?" Chen Guoqi was jealous and fired a gun with his own hands, and beat the guy who was competing for the title of a handsome man with him, and his face was full of peach blossoms. He could no longer see him. There was also a Jiannu who was sneaking on the top of the city. He knew that there was a problem with his character at a glance, so he also gave him a gun. There was also a Jiannu here, who was neither ugly nor beautiful, and his behavior was quite appropriate. However, the uncle of the Jinyiwei was in a bad mood, so he had another gun...

The sparse sound of guns almost stopped. As long as Jiannu dared to show his head, he would not care about it. Just a gun made Jiannu complain. Finally, no matter how Niuluezhen, Jiala's urged or offered a reward, no one dared to look at the movements of the Ming army, and all hid behind the pile of arrows. Just kidding, the Ming army's firearms are so sharp, who would dare to die? Although the superiors offered high bounties, they had to have the life to get them.

The three Jialae of Zhenglan Banners really had no choice. They knew that even if they forced people out, it would be useless, because the magic gunman of the Jinyiwei was aiming outside the city. It would be a gun to see who showed his head. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the troops outside the city did not have a siege ladder or artillery, so it would be safe as long as they guard the city gate.

Now the spring is chilly, and Jiannu, who was hiding behind the arrow bush, was numb with his hands and feet. He saw three big heads hiding in the city to avoid the cold. They also slipped down the city walls and demolished the wood from the people's houses to ignite the fire to keep warm. A Jialazhen was furious and jumped and cursed, but these soldiers pretended to be deaf and just roasted the fire. This Jialazhen held the hilt of the knife in his hand. He wanted to marching, but when he saw the angry expressions of the soldiers, he was worried that he would cause a mutiny and took his hands away from the hilt.

He was very surprised, why the soldiers became disobedient and dared to openly disobey him, a senior official of Jiannu. How could he know that this was the characteristic of the robber group. When the weather was smooth, the robbers were prone to joining each other and could obey orders. Once they encountered major setbacks, the internal situation would fall apart and be disloyal.

He thought for a long time and finally shouted: "If you don't go, I'll go. I'll let you see how the real Jiannu warrior did it."

As he said that, he strode up the city wall with great force. Before he could wave to Jiannu under the city, he heard a loud "bang". He felt like he was punched in his chest. He took several steps and landed the city wall, and died. Before he died, he thought, you guards on Juehua Island are too unfavorable. I don't really want to stand guard, but I just want to set an example for my soldiers. Just shoot me. How bad is it. Besides, you are too diligent, aren't you tired after staring at the city wall?

Even a Jiala Ezhen was beaten to death, so the Jiannu soldiers were even more afraid to step onto the city wall. They just focused on demolishing the house to burn the fire to keep warm. The houses near the city wall were demolished in a mess.

Chen Guoqi had no choice but to know that Jiannu would hide in the city wall, so he would have to bring a few tiger squat cannons over no matter what he said. He had to set up camp outside the city and stalemate with the soldiers of Zhenglan Banner here.

When it was dark, Wu Huping led his men to Daxing Fort. Originally, their speed was not that fast, but Zhu Youcheng handed over the task of attacking the hinterland of Jiannu to Chen Guoqi and asked them to follow behind to clean the battlefield. This order made his troops angry, but the military order was as high as a mountain, so they had no choice but to rush over the horses. Fortunately, they brought a lot of bean cakes to supplement the horses with enough nutrition, otherwise they would be afraid that dozens of horses would be exhausted.

"What's wrong? Are you trapped in front of this castle?" Wu Huping asked sincerely.

Under Zhu Youcheng's leadership, the Jinyiwei had a benign struggle within the Jinyiwei and would not undermine each other. Although he was a little envious of Chen Guoqi's task of killing the enemy, he was not jealous.

Chen Guoqi said in annoyance: "Oh, don't mention it. Jiannu seized Daxing Fort and hid in it, but he just couldn't come out. I didn't bring siege weapons and couldn't catch it. However, if I give up this enemy and pursue Jiannu's main force, they would probably attack us from behind. I'm in a dilemma here."

Wu Huping carefully observed Daxing Fort and saw that the wall of this small city was not too high, only about two meters high, but there was no enemy on the wall.

Wu Huping was puzzled and asked, "Brother Chen, there are no enemies on this city wall. Is there any information wrong?"

"Haha, there were sentries on the city wall, but we killed one by one. After killing more than 40 Jiannu soldiers, they were so scared that they hid behind the city wall that they dared not show their heads again."

Wu Huping smiled. The Jinyiwei's muskets were amazing. It seemed that the Jiannu in the city was abused so miserably.

Wu Huping looked at the empty city wall and felt that it was not too high. He thought it was a plan and said, "When it is the beginning of the Mao hour tomorrow morning, I will help you take down Daxing Fort."

Chen Guoqi was overjoyed and asked, "What are the tricks Brother Wu?"

Wu Huping pretended to be mysterious and said, "Brother Chen will know at that time."

Chen Guoqi was a young man. After asking questions again and again, Wu Huping just said nothing, and the two of them had a fight.

Wu Huping said: "Brother Chen, this night attack is mainly me. I will lead the soldiers to rest for a night now, so please ask Brother Chen to guard us. Anyway, I can't see the road clearly at night, so you can't pursue Jiannu's main force."

Chen Guoqi nodded and said yes, preparing to see how Wu Huping broke through Daxing Fort. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
