Chapter 21 Miscellaneous Liu Siege

Liu Liangzuo did not take Jiangyin seriously. He did not rush to attack because his subordinates did not want to lose their troops.

The warlords all rely on the generals below to carry the sedan chair, and he has to listen to the opinions of the generals.

Besides, in his opinion, Jiangyin is there, and the city with a bigger booze will not run away. He wants to take it, and he can take it at any time, so he is not in a hurry, and wants to take Jiangyin City at the lowest price.

Most green camps have this mentality. They just make a living by changing their boss. Anyway, they should be willing to offer the city, so why do they have to work hard?

Of course, people with this mentality are mainly those middle and lower-level green camp soldiers who do not seek progress and make a living.

The superiors have long no longer had to worry about the issue of eating, but they have other pursuits, not only to eat well, but also to have the glory and prosperity of their descendants.

How to achieve this by serving the Qing court is to make meritorious service and carry the flag.

Liu Liangzuo still pursues progress and can become a member of the Manchu ruler by raising the flag, so he cares about the opinions of the Manchu ruler on him.

Since he decided to attack the city, Liu Liangzuo acted quickly. As soon as Boluo left the camp, the Qing army began to prepare for the attack.

"Master, what should I do in the city?" Zhang Tianlu couldn't help asking.

Liu Liangzuo had a gloomy face, "If they saw me attacking the city and knowing each other, they would cause chaos in the city. I would spare their lives. If there was no action, the city would be broken and the city would be killed."

Do it as soon as possible. Under Jiangyin City, the cavalry of the Green Camp roared and controlled the battlefield, and beware of the chaos in the city taking advantage of the army's formation and the army's formation was unstable, and the people in the city came out to make trouble.

People in the Qing army camps shouted horses neighed, and the sound of drums kept coming. A large number of green camp soldiers left the camp and set up formations one mile away from the city wall.

There were no red barbarian cannons in Jiangyin City, and the green camp soldiers were calmly lined up, and the rebels on the city wall were also ready for battle. Zheng Sen and others shouted loudly, directing the rebels to carry rolling stones and wood and prepare defensive equipment.

In the camp in the city, Zhao Ming also gathered the soldiers of Taiping Camp together and prepared to go to the city to reinforce at any time.

Five hundred soldiers, after his training, looked a little bit, but they had not changed in their hearts, and they were still some soldiers.

These people are definitely better at abilities than local heroes, but it is difficult to really put in their strength.

At this time, Zhao Ming was dressed neatly, wearing fish scale armor, phoenix winged helmet, a beast's headband, a big red cloak, and a long knife in his hand, majestic.

Seeing that the soldiers were lined up, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Jiannu was cruel. If Yangzhou resisted a little, hundreds of thousands of people would die under the butcher's knife. If Jiangyin was broken, it would be impossible to keep the chickens and dogs. What should you do? You weigh the pros and cons by yourself, and I don't want to say more."

In the crowd, most of the veterans were unmoved. Liu Si hurriedly raised his arms and shouted, "Defend Jiangyin and fight against Jiannu."

However, there were very few people following his shouting, only a small number of people, and the remaining soldiers still did not respond.

Wang Deshun looked at Liu Si with contempt and disdain, then raised his arms: "Fight against Jiannu and defend Jiangyin."

Many soldiers and oil soldiers shouted at each other. Liu Si was indignant. Unfortunately, he was just a small flag before. He relied on relying on Zhao Ming first to get into a hundred households, but his subordinates didn't buy his account, so he could only swallow his breath.

Zhao Ming put this scene in his eyes. Apart from shocking them with his fierce power, he could not do anything to them.

One or two soldiers can be solved, but more than 500 people, 99% of them are soldiers, so he has no choice. The Ming Dynasty's army has been rotten to the core.

Zhao Ming has no high demands on them now, and he just hopes that they can talk about the conditions before the war like the Chuzhou soldiers under Qi Jiguang, and just be able to work hard after giving them enough benefits.

In his conversation with Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang once said that his subordinates recruited the army in Chuzhou, Zhejiang. They were brave and fierce in combat, and were very active in charging forward. However, they also had a disadvantage, that is, before each battle, the Chuzhou soldiers had to negotiate conditions with Qi Jiguang, requiring that they must know who the combat opponent was and how many people the other party had, and then discuss it internally.

If they think they can fight, they will fight and think they can't fight, even if Qi Jiguang goes through all his words, they will never work hard.

Zhao Ming glanced at the five hundred soldiers and said in a deep voice: "I know you are still a little unwilling to accept it, but the matter of defending the city is not only my business, but also your own business. I will kill the magistrate appointed by Jiannu. At that time, Jiannu will be angry and will die together after the city is broken."

In the team, Wang Deshun and others immediately changed their expressions, and they cursed Zhao Ming in their hearts, "I'm so vicious."

When Zhao Ming saw the soldiers in an uproar, his face showed glory. A group of fools still fought with me and couldn't kill you.

At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "Since Heng and Shu are dead, don't complain, you will have a chance to fight against the Qing Dynasty with me. If you defeat the Qing army, you can give me any rewards you want. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

At this time, outside the city, the Qing army had completed its formation and the artillery had been deployed. An officer was checking the artillery's launching medicine packages and iron bullets. The experienced gunners took tools, observed the city head, and adjusted the gun position.

In the Qing army formation, Liu Liangzuo was stationed under the banner of a large number of horses, glanced at the city wall with a thousand-mile mirror, and sneered: "A group of rioters also want to fight against the army, which is really overestimating their abilities."

Zhang Tianlu echoed: "That's right, the local bravery is effective, what should the court raise our army to do?"

His words were very unreasonable. The Hongguang court raised them, but it was indeed useless. Instead, it accelerated the demise of the Hongguang Dynasty.

Liu Liangzuo did not answer this and suddenly sighed: "I have given them a chance, and I don't want to kill more, but they don't cherish it."

"The general is kind and does not know the current affairs of Jiangyin, so no wonder the general is the general." Liu Liangchen and others said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Liangzuo, who was observing the city with a thousand-mile mirror, suddenly frowned. He put down the Qianli mirror and looked at it with his naked eyes. Then he held the mirror again and saw five people coming out of the city, one wearing a magistrate's robe and bare-headed, and the other four people were wearing Eight Banners armor. It was the magistrate Fang Heng, and the four flag soldiers who escorted him into the city and implemented the shaving order.

A sword flashed at the top of the city, five heads fell to the ground, and the heads were quickly hung on the city.

Liu Liangzuo's muscles twitched on his face, he put down the Qianlijing, immediately waved his hand, and said angrily: "Siege!"

As soon as the military order came, the sound of drums and whistles sounded under the city. A cannon on the cannon formation suddenly retreated back. A black shell flashed past and hit the city wall. The bricks were sunken, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

At the top of the city wall, Yan Yingyuan held the battlement with one hand and shouted loudly: "Everyone will return to his position, the Qing soldiers are about to attack the city!"
