Chapter 100 The Killing Weapon of Jianlu

"The county lord has said that the reinforcements will arrive soon, so let's persevere!"

"Are there any reinforcements? That would be great!"

"..."

Zuo Yingxuan faintly frowned when he heard these excited words.He immediately turned his head and said to the servant Liu who was protecting him, "Go and see what's going on?"

"Yes, my lord!" Yamen Liu agreed, and hurriedly got off the watchtower.

After a while, I saw Liu Ya servant hurried back with a gloomy face amidst the louder and louder cheers, and said: "The people in the city are saying that the reinforcements are coming, and they are the soldiers of the ancestors of Shanhaiguan. The villain checked Excuse me, it's...it's...the rumors spread by the little man's mother-in-law!"

He has been with the county lord all the time, and he can be sure that the county lord has never said such a thing, so he can be sure that Liu Wang's rumor is the first time.

Speaking of this, he suddenly knelt down, looked up at Zuo Yingxuan, and said earnestly: "The villain just beat her, it's because the villain can't discipline her well. It's just that the mother-in-law is ignorant and sensible, please punish the villain." Bar!"

Zuo Yingxuan figured out what was going on, and immediately frowned.But before he made a statement, Li Shiqi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, look!"

Zuo Yingxuan heard the sound, turned his head to look, and saw that the morale of the guards on the city wall had obviously increased a lot. They seemed to be alive and well again after being exhausted. Can't take the lead.

Obviously, this rumor is very beneficial to the current defenders.Zuo Yingxuan turned back in silence, and said without any emotion: "Get up now!"

After speaking, he turned his head and looked outside again, focusing on the battle situation.But he sighed secretly in his heart, it would be great if reinforcements really came.However, it is obviously impossible to say that the reinforcements are Zu Dashou's Guan Ning Army.

A few days ago, that Zu Dashou didn't even guard the capital, and ran back to Shanhaiguan overnight. How could such a person come to save this small county!

This rumor is nothing more than drinking poison to quench their thirst. If they don't see the arrival of reinforcements later, their morale will become even lower.Hey, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, you have really created a problem for the county. How do you ask the county to deal with this matter afterwards?

Outside the city, Azig couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the morale suddenly rising on the top of the city. After a while, when his subordinates came to report the news, he couldn't help grinning, obviously not believing it.

But when he finished laughing, he ordered to step up the siege and try to beat it all at once, and at the same time sent scout horses to spread ten miles in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

The battle in Changli continued to be fierce, and in the capital, the war also kicked off.

Hu Guang was in the archery tower, listening to the thundering drums of the Jianlu camp, and watching countless Jianlu come out of the camp gates.I have to say that Jianlu's military record is really good, at least in the marching queue, it is much better than the Beijing camp.

On the top of the city, military orders were passed down from Mangui, and the soldiers on the top of the city began to move.

Hu Guang went to the back to have a look. On the spacious street, thousands of soldiers selected from the Beijing camp had gathered. The lieutenant led the soldiers of the Fifth Army Bing Ma Si to watch, and loudly ordered them to stand in line.

He also saw in the distance that factory guards leading groups of folks were slowly gathering here.

It can be seen that among these people's strong teams, they are dressed in different clothes. There are servants in brocade clothes from various prefectures, and refugees and poor people who are patched up.The factory guard's scolding was mainly aimed at those servants in brocade clothes, to make them calm down.At the same time, there were several factory guards with loud voices talking loudly, which attracted many people to look over.Many people who heard it had expressions of excitement on their faces.

Hu Guang can probably guess that it should be the person who announced the outstanding defense of the city, and will have the opportunity to become a fan of Dongchang.

In the distance, a group of soldiers can be seen pushing a catapult towards this side. It seems a bit heavy and moving slowly.This should be rushed out by the Ministry of Industry, and one was built, and one was sent over.

Hu Guang watched the overall situation from the top of the city. Although there was a little panic in the city, there were generally no major problems.
He walked back to the outside again and looked out of the city.In such a short period of time, the number of Jianlu troops deployed outside the camp had exceeded [-], and Jianlu continued to emerge from the gate of the camp.

The Jianlu outside the camp gate were roughly divided into three square formations.Pretty much the same layout.Most of the people in the front row were Jurchen and Mongolian Tartars in leather armor.Basically, no long weapons can be seen on these people, only long bows are carried on their backs.

Behind these Tartars, there are teams of soldiers.Hu Guang knew that most of these people should have come from Han slaves.They will also be the cannon fodder for Jianlu's first wave of siege.Then Chen Er, maybe he is also among these people, I hope he has a good life!

Behind the servants are the well-equipped Jianlu.These Jianlu were carefully selected from the perspective of body shape, and they belonged to the type of charge.

In addition, there were teams of cavalrymen who ran out from the camp gate from time to time and gathered on both sides of the phalanx one after another. The sound of rumbling horseshoes, mixed with the sound of drums shaking the sky, made the battlefield even more bleak.

Suddenly, another group of Jianlu came out from the gate of the Jianlu camp. These Jianlu pushed carts one by one, and slowly and very noticeably reached the front of the phalanx.The number is large enough to make people staggering.

Under the winter light, the shield chariot reflected the luster of metal, obviously it was made of iron, at least covered with iron sheet, it was far from comparable to those chariots temporarily built by Azig for the city of Changli.

When Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp, saw it, he was not surprised but pleased, and hurriedly approached Hu Guang and introduced: "Your Majesty, the shield on Jianlu's chariot is made of thick wood covered with cowhide and iron. The requirements of the car are that small bricks will not move when hit, big bricks will roll down when hit, and firewood will not be burned. For firearms such as my Daming firearms, the defense is also very effective, and it is basically difficult to penetrate. A big killer!"

When Hu Guang heard this, he looked at Li Fengxiang curiously. He didn't expect that Li Fengxiang, who was useless in his mind, would know so much.

When Li Fengxiang saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, it seemed that he had made the right bet, the news he heard from Man Gui could win His Majesty's favor.

He was more energetic at this time, and hurriedly introduced to Hu Guang: "Jianlu has regulations. Every 100 people in each cattle record must be equipped with four such chariots, and they must be operated by 30 people. Jianlu relies on this chariot. , has captured our Daming city many times, and broke through the assembled army of our Daming. Therefore, Jianlu has a military order not to go to battle if he does not have a chariot when he encounters the enemy, and there are even cases where generals were punished for not carrying a chariot in battle .”
