In the face of absolute strength, any resistance is futile. Fuman wants to resist the Ming army with his strong city walls to gain time for the retreating tribesmen and reinforcements, but in their opinion, it is already very strong.

The city walls only added some trouble to the Ming army, especially when hundreds of artillery bombarded a certain point on the city wall, the power of the artillery was amplified to the limit. In just a few rounds of volleys, the

A large gap was collapsed in the city wall of Fuman Village.

Seeing that the city wall was blown, Li Anliang's flag waved downwards. The Japanese vassal army, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately rushed towards the gap. The thousand people rushing in front were even more suicide squads selected by the vassal army.

Their mission is to rush into the city from the gap and then establish a temporary position so that the troops in the rear can rush into the city. This was originally a common tactic for Li Anliang to break through the Jurchen villages before, and it has always been very effective, but today

Have encountered a problem.

According to past experience, when the city wall is bombarded by artillery, it will cause a huge blow to the soldiers in the city. Moreover, most of the original soldiers were crushed to death by the collapsed city wall, and there was no time for the soldiers around them to replenish, so they would also be at the gap.

There was a period of defensive gap, and the one-thousand-man suicide squad was enough to open the situation in the gap.

However, the suicide squad that rushed in this time was furiously counterattacked by the Jurchens. Although Fuman Village was relatively large, after Fuman concentrated 20,000 people in the village, the entire village seemed a little crowded, so when the city wall was

After the blasting was opened, the Jurchens in the village immediately replenished, and in order to defend their homes, these Jurchens fought their lives. Even if they died, they would have to send a suicide squad to bury them.

The Jurchens grew up in bitter and cold places. They usually make a living by hunting. Therefore, the adult men in the tribe are relatively excellent soldiers. Although their weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Japanese minions, they rely on the blood and blood in their hearts.

Everyone seemed crazy. As the saying goes, one person was desperate and the centuries were invincible. So no matter how elite the suicide squad was, it could not stop the crazy attacks of the Jurchens around him. As a result, just after rushing in, he was injured due to death.

Most of them had to withdraw.

Regarding the defeat of the suicide squad, Li Anliang snorted coldly and organized a suicide squad of 3,000 again. Under his command, he rushed into the city through the gap for the second time. However, at this time, Fuman in the city had already mobilized his troops to guard it.

Around the gap, this three thousand army still suffered its first failure, and when it finally retreated, it lost one-third of its manpower.

Li Anliang did not even blink his eyes after suffering such a huge loss twice in a row, but he did not let his subordinates die. Instead, he ordered the artillery to continue firing, and the direction of the shooting was still the direction of the gap.

In this way, not only can the gap be expanded, but it can also effectively kill those Jurchens gathered in the gap.

Li Anliang's tactic immediately achieved excellent results. After several rounds of artillery, the original gap was immediately expanded by half. Moreover, the Jurchens in the city were also seriously injured. The screams even the Ming army camp heard a lot.

clear.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Anliang sent a suicide squad to attack the gap again. As a result, the results achieved this time were much greater than the previous two times. At least after the suicide squad rushed into the gap, he immediately made a defensive formation, and the servants behind him also began to rush into the city.

In the middle, but the Jurchens in the city were all fighting for their lives. In addition, the terrain at the gap was narrow, and the number of servants could not be expanded at all, so they were still driven out of the gap by the Jurchens.

All three charges failed, and three or four thousand lost. This was a big blow to the Ming army, which had been smooth sailing since the war. And when the third charge failed, the sun was about to go out.

It's going to fall. After dark, the Jurchens who are familiar with the terrain will have a greater advantage. So Li Anliang did not plan to fight at night and directly ordered the withdrawal of troops and to attack the city after dawn tomorrow. Fuman in the city also seized the time to repair it.

Although the gap in the city wall cannot be completely repaired, at least some defense can be added to the gap.

General Li Anliang's camp is located in an open area ten miles away from Fuman Village. It is surrounded by flat fields, which can be guarded against enemy attacks. The entire camp is divided into two areas. The most central area is naturally Li Anliang and his relatives.

The guard stationed area outside was 10,000 Ming soldiers led by Xu Cheng, and the outermost part was 50,000 Japanese vassal army. However, after these days, especially today's casualties on the battlefield, the number of vassal army was less than 50,000.

It's right.

Before dinner, Li Anliang general Xu Cheng and other major generals in the army convened a small meeting, mainly to let everyone express their views on Fuman Village and what tactics to use to attack this city tomorrow.

The result of the discussion was that today's old method was still used. After all, the Jurchens could not maintain their morale on the first day for a long time. In addition, as the gap expanded, the opponent's defense forces would be diluted. Today's third charge

I almost rushed in, so as long as I work harder tomorrow, it will not be too difficult to break through Fuman Village.

After discussing military affairs from Li Anliang, Xu Cheng and several young generals who graduated from military academy returned to the military camp. At this time, the supper was ready, and the cabbage vermicelli plus large pieces of pork and mutton were placed in the marching pot.

Replenish the oil and salt and cook it hard. Although the method is very rough, the taste is actually pretty good. At least, the young generals such as Xu Cheng who graduated from the military academy each served themselves a large bowl, a steamed bun with a bowl of mouth in the left hand and a chopstick in the right hand.

It tastes very fragrant.

It is also worth mentioning that the 10,000 Ming soldiers under Xu Cheng all ate the same meal tonight. If such food was placed in the past, I would probably only be able to eat it after the victory. However, now the Ming Dynasty is rich.

He was also very generous to the army. In addition, Zhou Chong's supervision was given to the court, so the Ming army had always had no shortage of logistics supplies, so the soldiers in the barracks could eat a meal of meat and vegetables almost every day.

However, in comparison, the most casualties today, and the Japanese minions stationed at the outermost periphery of the military camp did not have such treatment. Their daily food was sweet potatoes and corn, and sometimes rice and flour were included when improving the food. As for meat,

Either they snatch some from the enemy, or they will only eat meat in the military camp when they defeat the enemy and celebrate. Moreover, for this unfair treatment, both the Ming and the Japanese, they take it for granted, after all, the minion army

The name is not for nothing. In a sense, the Japanese vassal army is actually the servants of the Ming army. They do the most dangerous work and eat the worst food. Otherwise, what would the Ming Dynasty raise them to do?

"Senior, I usually see those Japanese minions fighting very hard, but today I will be defeated immediately when I meet those crazy Jurchens. If we were asked to use musketeers, I'm afraid we will be eating in Fuman Village now

It's dinner!" A military school student was eating big, while complaining to Xu Cheng beside him.

"You are stupid. The servant army is used to consume it. The meaning of their existence is to help us, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, deal with some dangerous battle situations, so as to reduce the casualties of the regular army. Although the Jurchen city in front of us is not a strong city.

, but under the Jurchens' vow to defend themselves, they would have to suffer huge casualties if they wanted to fight. Such a dangerous thing could only be dealt with by those servants. Could it be that you still want us regular soldiers to fill in their lives?

This hole?" Before Xu Cheng could answer, another student next to him rushed to speak, and he looked down on the fool's words in his tone.

After hearing the second student's answer, the others were also making a big fuss. After all, in their opinion, the suggestion made by the first student was indeed a bit stupid. The Servant Army was originally some advanced cannon fodder, so it can be said that there is no such thing as

The danger requires these servants to make up for it. After all, in comparison, the lives of the regular Ming army, such as the Ming Dynasty, are much more valuable than those of the servants.

The guy who was teased by everyone was also a little annoyed. He was actually not stupid either. He just saw that the Japanese minions had not opened up the situation three times today, so he said those words without thinking, but now he is ridiculed by everyone.

However, after everyone's laughter stopped, Xu Cheng smiled and said, "What the junior said just now is right. The servant army is used for consumption, and they can even be regarded as our regular army on the battlefield.

Cannon fodder, but while driving the minion army, don't forget one thing, that is, keep ourselves strong. Only when we are strong enough can we drive the relatively weak minion army to work hard for us, otherwise if it were us

The strength of the Servant Army is not strong, and even the strength of the Servant Army is above us. At that time, if we imagine driving the Servant Army like before, we may be the Servant Army take the lead and eat us, the regular army, directly!”

Hearing Xu Cheng's words, the military academy students who had just laughed were all silent. In the battles with the Jurchens these days, most of them were servants, but their regular troops rarely had contact with the Jurchens, and even

When resting at night, they also live in the center of the guards' protection. Although this can indeed reduce casualties of regular troops, it will also make them gradually lose the strength and courage of some troops. Even if this continues, the strength of regular troops will gradually become slow.

If it deteriorates, it is really possible that in the end, the situation will happen like what Xu Cheng said.

"Thank you for reminding me that we just lost our hearts. No matter what others do, as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we must first ensure that we have the strength to defend our country. Only in this way can our Ming Dynasty last forever!"

After a while, some students slowly spoke. They thought that after experiencing the war, they were already not much different from Xu Cheng, who was his senior, but it was not until then that they realized that what they were going to learn was still
