The first thousand eight hundred and seventeen chapters come to the city again
"Please calm down the anger of the army," Jiang Yingzhao said, "This battle is not because the last general and Liaodong soldiers are not incompetent, but because the siege equipment is not prepared enough. When the siege equipment is complete, it will be the time to take down Yongning City."
Jiang Yingzhao said with confidence.
"When will the siege equipment that General Jiang mentioned is ready? It can't be a day off. Our family will spend a day with you. Even if our family can afford it, how long can the military rations consumed in the army be supported?" The military supervisor looked at Jiang Yingzhao and said, "I didn't forget to take a cigarette when I finished speaking.
Jiang Yingzhao said: "The siege equipment is already on the way. It will definitely be delivered to the army tomorrow at the latest, and it will never delay the use of the army."
The army lacked siege equipment, so he arranged people to prepare early and calculated the days. He knew that he would be able to deliver it in half a day.
"We will give you another day. Before it will dark tomorrow, our family will see the army entering the city. Can the two generals do it?" the military supervisor asked in a sharp voice.
"Please rest assured, the two will definitely take down Yongning City at the end of tomorrow." Jiang Yingzhao promised the letter in front of the army supervisor.
Hearing this, the military supervisor spit out the smoke from his mouth and said, "Okay, you two generals, don't be upset at our house. Go back and prepare. After a defeat, you must calm down the morale of the army and retreat!"
"We'll take a leave."
Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui retreated from the army supervisor's tent.
The two of them walked back together, and Man Gui asked, "You shouldn't have promised to take Yongning City tomorrow. Although Yongning City is not big, it won't be too smooth to get it. Even if the siege equipment is fully prepared, you may not be able to break the city in one day."
"You have seen the situation just now, how could I not agree? Otherwise, how could you and I come out so easily?" As he said that, Jiang Yingzhao turned around and looked at the military supervisor's tent.
Man Gui said: "If it cannot be broken tomorrow, it will be even harder to explain."
"How many defenders can a small Yongning City have? At least you can send more people to attack the city. If you don't believe that you can't take down a Yongning City." Jiang Yingzhao left with great strides.
Man Gui, who was walking behind, looked at his back as he walked away, and always felt uneasy.
Although today's siege can only be considered a test, through a simple battle, he found that the bandits were indeed as rumored, using multiple firearms to defend the city, which poses a great threat to the siege.
One night passed.
The government troops did not come to attack Yongning City. They were safe all morning. Except for a team of official cavalry appearing around Yongning City, there was no big deal.
"Eat something, I think the government army may not be able to come for a while." He Qianyou held a cake in his hand and handed it to Yang Fan, who was standing in front of the chassis and observing outside the city.
Yang Fan took the cake, put it in his mouth and took a big bite.
The meat rolled in the pancake was bitten by him, and the oil sputtered onto his mouth, making it taste fragrant.
He Qianyou gave Yang Fan a cake, and he also held a cake in his hand, which was also stuffed with meat.
"I hope they will not attack the city. The longer they drag, the happier I will be. It is better to withdraw the troops directly to save us." Yang Fan swallowed the pancake in his mouth and said.
He Qianyou said: "It is impossible to retreat. The enemy's cavalry wandered around Yongning City for a whole morning, which means that they have not given up attacking Yongning City."
A big cake quickly ate it into the stomachs of two people.
Yang Fan picked up the water bag, Gudu and drank a few sips of the water inside, and after putting it down, he said: "The guards in the city cannot be used to defend the city. Leave five hundred to support it. If the wall cannot support it, these five hundred people will support it."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." He Qian nodded.
At this moment, the soldiers on the watchtower on the high side of the city wall suddenly shouted: "The government army is here, the government army is here."
He shouted while blew the copper whistle in his hand.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The harsh copper whistle alerted all the defenders on the city wall. Yang Fan picked up the monocular and looked at the distance outside the city.
"It's really a lot of money. It seems that they want to get the best of their achievements and take down Yongning City today." Yang Fan handed the monocular in his hand to He Qianyou beside him.
He Qianyouju, who took the monocular lens, looked out in front of him.
The place where you see is covered with darkness, and tens of thousands of troops are rushing towards Yongning City like a tide.
"Send the order to prepare for battle." Yang Fan ordered the defenders in the city to prepare for war.
A flame rose under the pot of gold juice, and the gunners also carried the cannons and medicine to their respective four-pound cannons to load the cannons.
The musketman behind the cliff checks the musket in the hand of the musket.
The army soon arrived outside the city, and countless people were out of sight.
"The enemy has brought cannons, and I really want to break through our Yongning City in one fell swoop." He Qianyou used a monocular telescope and saw the cannon that he didn't have last time.
Yang Fan asked: "How many cannons do the enemy have?"
"There are twelve gates that pushed to the front of the formation. In addition, there were also many crashes and ladders. If they took out all these things when they attacked the city yesterday, it would not be so easy for us to defeat them." He Qianyou said.
Yang Fan rubbed his nose with his fingers and said, "We must keep it anyway, otherwise the people in the city will not have any good ending."
After the city is broken, even if the city is not massacred, once the official army enters the city, it will plunder the city. Not only will the big households in the city be unlucky, but even the poor families will become the targets of plunder by the officers and soldiers.
Moreover, it is not only the money that is plundered, but also women and young women. Once they encounter obstacles, they will kill people with their swords.
"Let the gunners prepare first, give priority to bombarding the official army's cannons and letting the enemy's cannons bombard them, which poses a great threat to our persistence in Yongning City." He Qianyou said.
Yang Fan waved and called the commander to send orders to the gunner.
Li Kaiyang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "I have something to tell you in advance that Shaanxi is not peaceful now, and there are many bandits rebelling. If it weren't for this, the person who came to Shanxi should have been General Li, and he suppressed the rebellion in Shaanxi, so I brought troops to Shanxi."
"I know." Liu Heng nodded slightly.
Li Kaiyang was stunned and asked, "Can the rebellions in Shaanxi be yours?"
"It has nothing to do with the tiger flag." Liu Heng shook his head and immediately said, "The tiger flag has made such a big noise in Datong, Shanxi. If there is no movement in Shaanxi, I will be surprised."
Li Kaiyang said: "Since you know, I won't repeat it. The only thing the Li family can help you is to take down Yan'an Prefecture. As for other places, if you fall into the hands of the thief, you can only solve it yourself."
