Chapter 81 The Battle of Ninggu Tower
Chapter 81 Battle of Ninggu Pagoda
"Uh-huh, Ninggutacheng sent an envoy to ask our army to retreat."
"Where is the messenger?"
"I just shouted from a distance."
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian was a little disappointed: "I thought I was caught."
Kalama and other tribal leaders who were discussing matters by the fire in Zhu Youjian's big tent nearby laughed ferociously when they heard this. They were all obviously very interested in catching the other party's envoy.
In other words, if they catch the messenger from the opposite side, they will be very interested in what happens to the messenger.
Zhu Youjian naturally scorned the rule that no one had followed since the Zhou Dynasty, "Do not kill the envoys when two armies are fighting." However, among the savage women, there was no such thing.
"How is the construction of the siege equipment going?"
"If it's true, 70% of what was expected has been built."
But then, Jiannu, who saw that the Black Flag Army had advanced within the shooting range, naturally had the musket in his hand.
"Turn around and charge the rocks!"
The reason for later expansion into a new city was that the Manchus had conflicts with Tsarist Russia in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. After the territory was ceded, the city was expanded to increase the number of troops to protect the butt.)
Therefore, the Black Flag Army spent a lot of time building siege facilities.
But considering the siege battle, unless there are special conditions, the number of people on the siege side should be several times that of the defenders. It is reasonable to have an absolute advantage.
While building the camp, allocate the positions of troops, and all kinds of siege equipment are very complete! The quantity seems to be very large!
Those who are lucky enough to have a decent knife in their hand, but those who are unlucky have nothing. Thirty percent of them are old and weak women.
I almost couldn't help but kill them with a knife on the spot!
Cheng Kuo sighed in admiration, and then called for the other elm gun carriages to be fired for a test firing. At the same time, he was always ready for the people behind to replace the elm cannons.
Subsequently, the Black Flag Army began to advance directly relying on siege equipment.
Some scouts said that they had set up camp early and used their equipment to cut down a large area of forest!
When Xingjia looked in the direction of the savage, he felt dizzy.
After waving his hand for the Jin Yiwei to retreat, Zhu Youjian stood up and walked out of the large tent located at the top of a high slope under the eyes of the leaders, looking at the small city in the distance.
After doing this, the Ninggu Pagoda defenders looked back at the Black Flag Army, and the sense of security they had gained from the operation suddenly disappeared.
Aixinjueluo's Jueluo!
It can be regarded as breaking all the good thoughts of the Ninggu Pagoda defenders.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the Ninggu Pagoda defenders was a dozen ramming vehicles that seemed a bit weird to them.
But this is not good news for the soldiers and generals in Ningguta City.
"How did these damn savages come here!"
Hey! My hometown has been raided!
Xingjia immediately gritted his teeth. It would not sound good to say this! But there are only more than 600 soldiers in Ningguta City!
After all, the forest near here is the largest and most lush, with the best-growing trees. If we don't cut it down, we won't have to cut it down.
The Black Flag Army began to advance towards Ninggu Pagoda early in the morning.
It is the place where Emperor Gaozu Longxing lived!
After another day of this, Ning Guta received fifty reinforcements. These troops were squeezed out by two nearby Niu Lu and rushed over quickly.
Because going south is the top priority! Even though Ninggu Pagoda is located in a remote location, in order to increase our military bargaining power during the confrontation at Shanhaiguan, the Qing Dynasty also transferred a group of them!
The general Mele'er has really left, so it's great to leave him alone!
"Although it's a little slow, let's continue practicing. There's no rush."
The cities in his memory were all big cities like the capital city. The city walls often started at ten meters, and the gate towers even ran twenty meters away.
Zhu Youjian naturally didn't know that the forest he pointed at was the hometown of Jiannu.
“Bang bang bang!”
That’s Jue Luolin!
Immediately, they felt extremely regretful for their previous behavior of mocking the plundered cattle in the north.
The purpose is to ensure that the tribal warriors have more cover and support when charging, and to alleviate the fatal shortcoming of the savage warriors who have no experience in siege warfare.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers climbed onto the city wall, and at the same time, a large number of people in rags and ragged clothes, mostly unkempt, were also scaled up.
This specification makes people feel so familiar!
After listening to the scout's report, Ninggu Pagoda guard Xingjia thought for a moment and then patted his head!
Isn’t this the path of the Ming army?
Our Qing Dynasty also uses it!
These savages are so professional!
And unlike the new city of Ningguta that was later moved and rebuilt, the old city of Ningguta was the pinnacle of construction projects before Jiannu started its career. It was built with the hard work of Jiannu craftsmen and should not be underestimated.
Being able to be appointed by Mele Erzhen, who was guarding Ninggu Pagoda, as his general after he left, Xingjia naturally had some martial arts skills.
The Black Flag Army camped five miles outside the city. It could be said that they were riding on the face of Ningguta City. If both sides took a few steps and climbed higher, they could see each other's silhouette from a distance.
Then a large number of messengers were sent to the Niulu settlements and towns in the rear to seek reinforcements.
“Bang bang bang!!”
"Listen! This battle is the first time that Ningguta City has suffered from a crisis since the founding of the Qing Dynasty! It is of great significance! If we win this battle! I will report your achievements! By then, you slaves may be able to regain the flag.
I will change my status as a Ding! Or I will be assigned my place of origin! These are not impossible! The day of turning over is today!"
A bloody battle that cannot be explained is right in front of you!
Xingjia gritted his teeth and comforted himself that although the defenders only had more than 600 troops, there were still nearly 2,000 prisoner slaves and armored men in the city available! But our army has the advantage of the city! It is not impossible to stop the savages!
(Ninggu Tower is divided into New City and Old City. The New City was built in the late Shunzhi and Kangxi years. However, the responsibilities of Ninggu Tower City have not changed. They control the east and north of Shengjing. The reason why it is a small city is that there is nothing to do on these two sides at this time.
Regarding the value of defense and expansion, Jiannu focused all his attention on the Ming Dynasty.
When the Black Flag Army approached and tried to hunt down the Ningguta sentry, they were finally able to confirm that this army had jumped out of the savage den.
For some reason, there was a hole in the wooden fender at the front of the car, and four hollow tree stumps poked out of it. The people who saw it were puzzled.
Then he roared angrily, and after several explosions, Xingjia's eyes widened immediately. He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, plumes of green smoke rose from the savage array.
As soon as the Black Flag Army started cutting down trees, Ning Gutana was still unaware of the savages' intentions and immediately sent a message to Shengjing, thousands of miles away, in a hurry.
Now I can only watch the savages wantonly cutting down the woods in my hometown.
Then, pebbles the size of eggs were splashed on the wall of the east gate of Ninggu Pagoda like water!
One thousand armored savages and two thousand savage warriors, this kind of power cannot be stopped by ordinary Niu Lu!
Not to mention Niulu, who is internally empty and whose main force has gone south.
After a few words, the slaves on the wall became much more stable.
You continue to grab those Niulu stations! Isn’t that relaxing and enjoyable!?
After a small series of muffled sounds, it was difficult to see how many casualties the Black Flag Army had suffered in the smoke and dust, but the slaves were frightened!
The whining and scumming made Xingjia feel dizzy!
The outer wall of Ninggu Tower City is only more than three meters, and the inner city wall is only more than four meters. As long as you stand a little higher, you can have a clear view of the internal layout of the city. Zhu You, as the attacker, inspected the city.
, I find it very pleasing.
There are also many door-ramming and tower-ramming vehicles, and there are countless baffles with shooting holes for shooters to advance.
Amidst the bursts of screams of pain, the Jiannu and the slaves who were not wearing armor on the city wall were suddenly smashed to the head and bleeding!
"Oh, you're lucky that there aren't even any cracks! Sanshui is fine! If you bake it over a fire for a while, it will become much stronger!"
In half an hour, the army arrived at the city.
"oh!"
At this time, the savage warriors, who were in the mood of a child setting off fireworks, were in high spirits and cheered.
They were happy, and Cheng Kuo and others were also very comfortable.
I have to say, compared with the Ming Dynasty’s previous cannons that produced thousands of taels of gold once fired, this elm cannon only required gunpowder, and there was no psychological burden to light it!
What's even more amazing is that most of the gunpowder currently in the Black Flag Army was stolen!
Zhu Youjian's hands felt a little itchy when he saw it.
Even if this elm cannon explodes, it won't kill anyone as long as you stay away from it. Wouldn't it be a pity not to give it a try?
Chapter completed!
