Chapter 295 Siege again

Watching these soldiers talk to each other and telling the hard days in the past, Kong Youde felt sincerely relieved. Only soldiers who pursued can burst out with the most powerful combat power.

Not long after, lunch ended, and the soldiers slapped their round belly, enjoying the warm sunshine, and enjoying the brief comfort before the next battle. They also knew that although the enemy failed to siege the city, they would definitely not give up. After all, they still had more than 2,000.

At this time, Meng Sizhe also came back and said to Kong Youde with a spring breeze on his face, "Sir, the results of this battle have been counted. In this battle, our army killed a total of 187 enemies, seriously injured 35 people, and captured 65 people slightly injured. Some injured enemies were taken away, and the number could not be counted!

Four hundred and fifty-one weapons of various colors were seized, and the siege equipment was incurred! Our army only killed eight people, slightly injured thirteen people, and seriously injured five people! Sir, this is a perfect victory!"

"The main loss in this battle was caused by fighting the enemy on the city wall. When the body was cleared, it was found that there were almost all of Liu Yuanhang's personal soldiers, which caused so much damage, and the enemy's arrows only caused 6 casualties."

Kong Youde also smiled and patted Meng Sizhe on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you did a good job. Let the wounded keep taking care of them properly! The soldiers who fell, together with the soldiers who died yesterday, will be restrained first, and when the war is over, they will be transported back to Dengzhou together and handed over to their relatives for burial!"

Then he said to the messenger, "Send the command, now they have eaten and drunk enough. If you have a good rest for a while, the enemy will definitely not give up. They will definitely come back to attack the city and make them ready to face the enemy again! Instruct the scouts to pay close attention to the enemy's movements and report at any time!"

Judging from Kong Youde, Liu Yuanhang would not give up easily. He is a vengeful and arrogant person. He was defeated twice by himself. He will definitely not be able to stop when he is done, and there will definitely be continued actions.

Suddenly, Kong Youde had an idea and said, "Old Qin, do you say that Wu Anbang doesn't care about us and leads the main army to Fushan City. Could it be that Liu Yuanhang did it? He was defeated once yesterday morning and was very unwilling to accept it. In order to be able to capture this Qishan City alone, he avenge his previous shame and take the credit by the way, he deliberately did not tell Wu Anbang the news?"

After Kong Youde said this, Qin Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, "Yes, sir, this is very likely, otherwise Wu Anbang would not leave us alone and leave Liu Yuanhang to fight the Fushan City with stronger defense!"

Kong Youde also sighed, "Liu Yuanhang is really petty. I heard before that he didn't get along well with Wu Anbang. Now it seems that he is really doing it for his own selfishness, taking credit for his own contributions, and completely disregarding the overall situation! There were so many generals in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how could it be that hundreds of thousands of troops could not do anything to the Tartars outside the pass! Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to do anything to the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Kong Youde stopped and almost let his mouth go.

There are many reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, including various natural disasters, invasion of foreign enemies, and endless internal struggles, of course, this also includes this situation. The generals leading the army completely ignore the overall situation for their own selfishness. This is the case for Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui, and Zuo Liangyu.

"Sir, I can't do anything either?" Qin Zhiyuan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I'm just sighing!" Kong Youde laughed and revealed this paragraph.

Kong Youde secretly made up his mind and refused to let generals like Liu Yuanhang appear under his command. If they appeared, even if they had talent, they would rather not use them than leave hidden dangers.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it will be broken through from the inside. If the internal unstable is not enough, how can it be said to resist external enemies?

At this time, Liu Yuanhang, who was looked down upon by Kong Youde, was furious. The generals at all levels below were silent and did not dare to speak out, so as not to attract anger.

After losing his temper, his anger almost subsided. Liu Yuanhang calmed down and began to analyze the situation in front of him.

Yesterday and today, the two consecutive defeats were defeated by the rebels at a small price. If the first time was a failure caused by underestimating the enemy, then this time it was well prepared and highly morale. The attack on the entire army still failed. It would be impossible to explain the underestimation of the enemy. I know better than anyone else what the soldiers under my command looked like. It was definitely not the failure caused by their fear of the enemy.

Among the more than 100 soldiers who attacked the city wall, there were forty or fifty personal soldiers, and even they were killed. Although the rebels had the advantage of terrain and number of people, their power was definitely not weak.

This means that Kong Youde is really in Qishan City. Although he doesn't know what purpose he is staying in Qishan City and not leaving, as long as he takes down Qishan City, destroys this rebel army, and kills Kong Youde, his contribution is undoubtedly the biggest in this anti-rebellion war, and it is not a big problem to be promoted to the general.

Although he had failed twice and the rebels were very strong, he would never retreat. As long as he could achieve his goal, it would not matter if he died in many people. No matter how many lives he was, in his eyes, it would be just a number.

The next step is to formulate a combat plan. Although the casualties in this battle are not only not very large relative to the total number of troops, but the casualties are mainly concentrated on the soldiers of the garrison. This is why they arranged the soldiers of the garrison at the forefront.

The biggest loss was the forty or fifty soldiers wearing heavy armor. The losses of the soldiers were not very large. In general, his strength did not suffer much loss. Although he lost a lot of weapons, fortunately he still had some spares, so there would be no soldiers going to the battlefield empty-handed.

After discussing with several major generals of the direct line, Liu Yuanhang finally made up a combat plan, and then the entire camp began to become busy again, preparing for a new offensive operation.

"Report to the Lord, the enemy is preparing to attack the city again!" Kong Youde was taking a nap when he was shouting by his personal soldiers. It was three hours since the first battle ended.

After washing his face a little, Kong Youde followed his personal soldiers to the city tower to check the formation of Liu Yuanhang's troops.

This time, the situation was a little different. Liu Yuanhang no longer had the entire army pressing over like the last time, and even could not see a few soldiers in his sight. Instead, he built a lot of equipment, and the most conspicuous ones were the siege cars.

At the front was a row of tall siege cars, which were slowly advancing towards Qishan City. The speed was not very fast, but it was still advancing steadily. When it was almost a mile, Kong Youde saw clearly the appearance of these siege cars from the telescope.
