- Chapter 489: Let the Mongols bleed dry under Shenyang City (second update)
"Where are Shilong and the others now?"
Looking at the Mongolian army under the city, Xiao Mingqian confirmed to Song Jia standing next to him.
"The news just arrived, they have just arrived on the west bank of the Liaohe River, and they will probably arrive in Shenyang early tomorrow morning."
"Let them not come in a hurry. We have to keep Lin Danhan's hope of capturing Shenyang for a while longer! The order was told to Qin Keren and Feng Xuejun, asking them to send fewer soldiers to control the strength of the defense when they were defending the city. Let the Mongols always feel that they can capture Shenyang with more force. I want the Mongols to bleed their blood dry under the city of Shenyang." Xiao Mingqian said with a sneer.
"yes!"
After receiving Xiao Mingqian¡¯s order, Qin Keren and Feng Xuejun decided to send only two thousand people in each direction for defense, and in the early stage of defense, heavy weapons such as artillery were not used.
There were no Han troops in the Mongolian army, so they couldn't even see the trebuchets used to attack the city. Although Genghis Khan used weapons such as the Huihui Cannon hundreds of years ago, his descendants hundreds of years later have completely forgotten these things.
Looking at the tall city walls of Shenyang City, Lin Danhan realized that he was too confident. Thinking that Nurhachi could easily capture Shenyang, he could do the same.
But now he realizes that it is not that easy to capture the city of Shenyang without internal agents and without the Han people who can be driven out to serve as cannon fodder.
However, Lin Danhan will not be stumped by such a small difficulty. It is difficult to build a trebuchet without craftsmen, but something like a ladder is not that difficult.
After arriving at Shenyang City, Lin Dan Khan ordered 30,000 troops to continuously surround Shenyang City and shoot arrows inside. He threatened that if the people in the city did not surrender, when the powerful Mongol Khan captured Shenyang, he would massacre the city as a massacre. revenge.
This kind of low-level measurement may be of some use in front of the Song Army whose courage has been broken, but facing Taiwan's elite hundreds of years later, this can only make people laugh.
Facing the Mongolian cavalry and shooting, Qin Keren and Feng Xuejun suppressed their men, allowing them to regard this verbal abuse and threats as farts.
For most of the afternoon, the Mongols fired tens of thousands of arrows into the city, but no one died. Only a few soldiers were shot in non-vital parts and were slightly injured.
Seeing that the city did not respond at all to their attacks and insults, the Mongols thought it was a sign of cowardice on the part of the Han people. As long as the army attacks the city tomorrow, they will definitely be able to defeat them in a single battle.
The next day, the Mongols, who did not know the art of war, rigidly adopted the method of surrounding three and missing one to attack the city. It seemed to make sense, but he didn't want to think about it. With the strength of Shenyang City and its internal defensive strength, there was no way this strategy would work. Even if they were defending the Ming army, they would not be intimidated by such low-level skills.
On the first day, the progress of the siege seemed very smooth to Lin Danhan. Thirty thousand troops stormed, and the resistance on the city wall was small.
The sparse shooting caused the Mongols to stand on the city wall several times. But it is a pity that all the Mongolian soldiers who climbed onto the city wall were killed by bullets fired from unknown directions without exception.
This made Lin Danhan¡¯s adrenaline secretion accelerate, but in the end he could only wait for the next surprise with great disappointment.
In the end, a whole day of strong attack cost nearly 20,000 casualties, but still failed to capture Shenyang City. This made Lin Danhan furious after he came back.
However, looking at the effect of today's siege, Lin Danhan believed that Shenyang City could be captured only by increasing the intensity of the siege.
However, it was still the same the next day, except that there were more people who could climb the city wall, and Shenyang City was still unable to be captured. And there were still about 20,000 casualties on his side.
¡°At this moment, the leaders of some other tribes felt hairy. Lin Danhan, your family, still has an army of over 100,000 people. You are not afraid of death, but we are no match for you. The army you brought this time accounts for 60-70% of the troops that the tribe can mobilize, but it cannot withstand such consumption.
So they approached Lin Danhan one after another and asked him to give up this barbaric siege method, and maybe bypass Shenyang City to attack other smaller cities.
????????????????? However, Lin Danhan could never give in to the temptation to capture Shenyang several times. In the end, he convinced the tribal leaders to attack with all their strength again. If that failed, he would make other plans.
"It should be almost done. Order the cavalry division to attack from behind tomorrow morning when the Mongols attack the city again. WarningQin Keren and Feng Xuejun can go out and fight tomorrow. "
After these two days of siege, Xiao Mingqian estimated that the number of people killed by the opponent should be almost 20,000, and the number of injured was almost the same. Under this situation, if this happens once or twice at most, the opponent will definitely be unable to bear the huge losses and give up the idea of ????attacking the city. Xiao Mingqian does not want to let it escape.
Early the next morning, Lin Danhan, who had eaten and drank enough with a big belly, led the army to a place eight miles outside Shenyang City. Looking at Shenyang City still standing in the distance, Lin Danhan gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Warriors, no matter who he is, as long as he has a firm foothold on the city wall, then I will make him a captain of thousands. After the capture of Shenyang, everything grabbed will belong to the warriors themselves."
Today is the last chance. Lin Danhan had to spend a lot of money to boost the morale that was a little low due to the failure to capture Shenyang City in two days.
Hearing Lin Danhan say this, all the Mongolians, whether they were soldiers or generals, had greedy lights in their eyes. In the past, the trophies obtained had to be picked out by the leaders first. Now being able to take possession of the trophies yourself completely aroused the greed in the hearts of the Mongolians. For the sake of wealth and women, they have determined to capture Shenyang in front of them.
"Mr. Qin, how do you arrange the scene today?"
Looking at the crazy Mongolians, Feng Xuejun walked to Qin Keren and asked.
"Before the cavalry arrives, we can just act as we did the previous two days. As soon as the cavalry arrives, we can let the Mongols see our true strength."
Qin Keren sneered as he looked at the Mongolians whose morale suddenly became strong. Most of these people will become corpses in the subsequent battles. Now let their dreams last a little longer.
Although the play will still take a while, the preparations that need to be made cannot be less. The number of defensive troops on the city wall suddenly increased to 10,000, and the covered heavy city defense guns on the specially built forts also had their coats removed. Everything has been prepared, just waiting for the cavalry to appear.
