Chapter 391 City Head Stew
Xiong Tingbi looked back at Li Guangrong and said jokingly: "I have asked you to read more military books for a long time, but you just don't listen. Look at what strategy you are proposing now?"
After hearing this, Li Guangrong's face suddenly showed an embarrassing look on his face. He said hesitantly: "Please give me advice from the general."
"The reason why the enemy is not firmly established or sneak attacks at night is mainly to increase morale and attack the enemy's morale. This is mainly because there are insufficient guards in the city."
"But are we short of people in the city now? Are we not good at weapons and equipment? Why do we have to go out of the city to attack? Is there any benefit? If we win, we just kill a little bit of people in the wild boar skin. If we fight with a little bit of people, we can turn the situation around with just killing a little bit of people? It's not at all."
"What if we lose when we go out of the city? What should we do with our morale? Why do we do this kind of thing that has little benefits to win and has a lot of disadvantages to lose? Just like a gambler bet on money, I bet ten taels of silver, but I can only win one tael; but if I lose, I lose all the ten taels of silver. Why do I bet on this kind of bet?"
"Tell your subordinates to be more cautious at night. If someone in the city causes trouble, kill him immediately. As long as we are not in chaos in the city, it is a delusion to want to break through Shenyang City. Don't have such dreams in this life!"
Li Guangrong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and finally he reluctantly responded: "Yes, Grandmaster."
After looking at Li Guangrong, Xiong Tingbi walked downwards directly.
After walking two steps and turning the steps, Xiong Tingbi reached out to greet a confidant and whispered: "Please keep an eye on Li Guangrong. If he has any abnormal movements at night, please tell me any time."
He looked at Xiong Tingbi in surprise. Although his subordinates were a little confused, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, the Grand Marshal."
At this time, Xiong Tingbi didn't have to doubt Li Guangrong, because his behavior today was too abnormal.
Li Guangrong kept inspiring Xiong Tingbi to go out of the city to fight, and even came up with such a bad trick of night attack. If Li Guangrong hadn't been stupid, then he would have been bad.
Although Xiong Tingbi and Li Guangrong have a good relationship, they have nothing to do in the face of major events. If Li Guangrong really wants to do anything, the losses caused can be imagined.
Xiong Tingbi didn't want to make a mistake just because he was alone. This not only concerns his own life, but also Shenyang City and the Ming Dynasty's strategy in Liaodong.
Be careful, no mistake can be made.
After his subordinates agreed to retreat, Xiong Tingbi continued to walk.
He made up his mind and would stay in the city gate tower tonight to ensure that there was no problem and that no news could be spread.
Li Guangrong was still standing on the city tower, looking at Xiong Tingbi's back as he left, and shook his head helplessly.
After sighing, Li Guangrong looked at the sky. He was a little hungry, so he might as well go to have a meal first. After the meal, he had to patrol some time before he could rest.
In fact, Li Guangrong is already a little dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi.
In Li Guangrong's view, the Ming Dynasty's official army had the strength to fight with the wild boar skin. Xiong Tingbi seemed to be scared out of fear. He defended the city all day long and never thought of going out to attack.
Even if one of the official troops could not annihilate Nurhaci, it would be okay to give them a heavy blow. However, Xiong Tingbi had already said that he could not leave the city, and Li Guangrong could not violate military orders.
In a room under the city tower.
Wei Chao was sitting on a chair, holding a string of rosary in his hand and slowly twisting it.
Next to the Wei Dynasty was a middle-aged man, Zhao Wuji, a thousand-household Jinyiwei from Liaodong.
Wei Chao and Zhao Wuji are considered brothers and brothers in Liaodong. For the Jinyiwei, the situation in Liaodong is also a top priority.
"There is no strange place, right?" Wei Chao looked at Zhao Wuji and said slowly: "If there is any strange place, you have to tell us the first time. In this place of Liaodong, we are all the people."
Zhao Wuji glanced at Wei Chao, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Don't worry. We know that we will not disappoint our father-in-law. However, there are no messy people in Chenyang City. Our great general cares a lot about this and how many people have been captured."
In fact, Zhao Wuji had a smile on his face and his tone was relaxed, but he was very nervous.
Chenyang City has always been a key location for the Jinyiwei spy war.
Since the attack was setback, Nurhaci has sent countless infiltrations into Chenyang City, and his heart has never died of trying to cause trouble in Shenyang City.
The Jinyiwei did not dare to be careless at all, and I was afraid that there would be any mistakes. However, Zhao Wuji would not tell Wei Chao about these things. Although the two looked very friendly, the Jinyiwei and the eunuch were also very compatible, some things could not be said.
After taking a deep look at Zhao Wuji, Wei Chao nodded.
That night, Chenyang City was quite calm and nothing big happened.
The next morning, after dawn, Chenyang City recovered from its deep sleep.
Xiong Tingbi walked out of the room, took a breath of the slightly cool air, and felt energetic.
After glanced at his subordinate who came to report, Xiong Tingbi asked with a serious expression: "What's wrong with Li Guangrong?"
"Go back to the Grand Marshal, no. Yesterday, he went to have dinner after leaving the city. Then he patrols the city and goes back to sleep." The subordinate said quickly.
Xiong Tingbi nodded, his face relaxed a little, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiong Tingbi was just a little worried about Li Guangrong, and couldn't even say anything about suspicion. Nothing happened now is naturally the best; if something really happened, Xiong Tingbi would definitely not feel good in his heart.
After a simple meal, Xiong Tingbi walked out.
After walking out, Xiong Tingbi saw Li Guangrong head-on.
Li Guangrong had a calm face at this time, as if everyone owed him a lot of money.
Seeing his appearance, Xiong Tingbi knew that something was wrong.
"What happened?" Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Guangrong and asked with a smile.
"Master, those wild boar skins are really too bullying!" Li Guangrong said helplessly and somewhat resentful: "They are cooking there openly, and they are not even wary of us at all. It is obvious that they look down on us."
After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi's face not only showed an angry expression, but instead became even more serious.
At this time, Xiong Tingbi was able to conclude that this time Nurhaci came here clearly was trying to lure himself out of the city. It can be seen from what Nurhaci did when he arrived at the city yesterday that the meaning of deliberately luring himself out was too obvious.
Seeing Li Guangrong's angry look, Xiong Tingbi understood that Nurhaci's behavior was still effective. But the more this happened, the less he could not leave the city.
After looking at Li Guangrong, Xiong Tingbi said, "Let's go up to the top of the city to take a look."
"Yes, Grandmaster." After Li Guangrong agreed, he quickly led the way excitedly.
The two of them soon arrived on the top of the city.
Looking down the city, you can clearly see what the people on the other side are doing.
Just as Li Guangrong said, these people were cooking unscrupulously, and clearly looked down on the army in the city. The swaggering posture seemed to say: You just dare not come out to attack us.
After taking a look, Xiong Tingbi ordered Li Guangrong: "Send the order to let those who cook stew meat this morning, bring the big pot and bring the meat up too. Let's stew meat on the top of the city."
After hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, Li Guangrong's chin almost fell to the ground.
Just now, Li Guangrong thought that his commander was going to go to war, but who would have thought that he would say this?
It's so exciting!
Stewed meat on the top of the city is obviously for those wild boar skins. Don’t you eat? We also eat; not only we eat, we eat better than you.
Xiong Tingbi actually means this. If both sides cook on the city and don’t start fighting at all, Xiong Tingbi will be confident to eat them to death.
Compare who has more food, right?
See who can last longer.
My uncle, I will waste you all the money.
Soon someone brought the big pot and the meat was also brought up. The wood was set on the fire, and the iron pot quickly boiled water. After the seasoning was put down, the large pieces of meat were cooked in the pot.
Soon, the fragrance spread over the city and drifted out with a good wind.
Nurhaci stood on the top of the mountain, smelling the scent of stewed meat, and the expression on his face was so ugly.
Of course he could see what Ming Jun was doing on the city wall. Those guys were cooking meat and the fragrance wafted over.
"Father Khan." Amin came to Nurhaci's side and said, "The Ming army was not deceived."
"Then let's have a meal. After the meal, we will attack the city." Nurhaci said with a calm face.
Xiong Tingbi, who was standing on the top of the city, held a big bowl and gnawed a big bone, said to Li Guangrong beside him: "Go to find some people with loud voices, and when you go there, you can shout to me, and the uncle shouted that there is meat in the city, and if you have the seeds, come and eat it."
Li Guangrong glanced at Xiong Tingbi and quickly agreed, "Yes, the Grand Marshal."
Soon, the loud voice soldiers were found.
A group of people stood in a row on the top of the city and shouted at Nurhaci: "My uncle has meat in the city, and you can come in and eat it if you have the seeds!"
They shouted over and over again, and the more they shouted, the happier they became. The laughter was heard, and the meaning of ridicule was too obvious.
Nurhaci was also having dinner at this time. Listening to the Ming army's shouts, Nurhaci's heart sank.
I still underestimate this Xiong Tingbi. This blind man Xiong is really trying his best to do everything, and is not the same as the previous civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.
"Father Khan." Seeing that Father Khan looked very good, Amin shouted carefully.
"It's okay." Nurhaci waved his hand and said, "Let our artillery be ready, and after dinner, you will attack the city and use the artillery to hit the round first."
Whether it was breaking through Tieling or Kaiyuan, Nurhaci seized a lot of artillery in previous battles. Nurhaci had the experience of joining the army in the Ming army and naturally knew very well about firearms.
This time Nurhaci also brought his artillery, with thirty-six sects. Some of these were captured in battles of all sizes, while others were imitated by Ming craftsmen who were captured and enslaved.
Although there are not many artillery numbers, the power of artillery is extraordinary when siege, which is also the confidence of Nurhaci this time.
