Chapter 752: Ginger is old and spicy

There was a "boom", and an iron egg sprayed out of the muzzle. In just the blink of an eye, it slammed into the door, and with a "crash", a big hole came out.

It can be seen from this hole that it is blocked with various things, but the power of the iron egg is really strong, and it also knocks open a lot of things blocked behind it. You can even see from the broken doorway that people who are busy inside have been hit by iron eggs, with arms and legs broken, and blood spurting out.

There was another "boom" sound, and another iron egg shot out rapidly. It was just two cannons, taking turns firing without any fuss. Even so, the face of the person standing behind the wall was full of despair.

It is estimated that before long, the gate will not be able to withstand the bombardment and will completely rot. Outside, a group of heavily armored cavalry were already mounted, arranging their equipment, calming their horses, and were immediately ready to attack.

Behind them was a group of light cavalry and infantry, which were ready to attack. Behind them, there is a group of soldiers guarding a large number of war horses. Needless to say, those foot soldiers should have come on horseback.

Not far from the two artillery pieces, a burly man wearing armor was looking at a map. It seems that he doesn't care much about the things in front of him. Beside him, there was another petite figure. The contrast between the two of them was huge.

There was another "boom" sound, and the door was completely penetrated. As soon as the heavy armored cavalry at the front saw it, they immediately drove their horses and rushed towards the city gate without anyone's orders. Behind them were light cavalry and infantry. There is a tacit understanding of cooperation between them, and it seems that this kind of thing has been done more than once or twice.

The petite man looked up, then turned to the tall man and said, "Master Zhongcheng, this town is broken!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng did not raise his head at all, but pointed at the map with his hand and said: "We will go here for the next stop. This town is also relatively big, so we can clean it up once!"

After hearing this, Wei Mulan didn't care at all that the general didn't pay attention to the war in front of him. It is not difficult for the Hussars Battalion to attack towns and villages like this, and it also carries two artillery pieces.

I saw her lowering her head and looking at the map, and then said: "If Master Zhongcheng has decided, then I will report it to the emperor!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and decided on the itinerary. With a slight signal, the guard on the side stepped forward to collect the map.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and glanced at the one-sided town. The outcome had been decided when he came. He stopped paying attention, turned to look in the direction of Gaizhou, and said with a little worry: "I wonder if we can mobilize Jianlu to share the pressure on Gaizhou!"

Mao Chengzuo, who was standing next to him, heard this and immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhongcheng. The new army is all trained in the Qi family's art of war. We also saw it in the battle of Jinpu Town. Such a powerful army, even if it is built If the captives are going to be wasted there, I will believe that nothing will happen to them!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but did not loosen his brows, and said slowly: "The slave chief is indeed a capable person. There are no absolutes in this war!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Mulan came back to her senses and said in surprise: "Lord Zhongcheng, the Emperor just said that Aisin Gioro Yuetuo has come over with two thousand cavalry troops from Gaizhou!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately turned to look at Wei Mulan and said with surprise: "Oh, just come!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered the personal guards around him: "Give me the order, rush to the scene again, destroy the next town, and then go back to spend the winter!"

"Haha, just follow the emperor's wishes and torture Jianlu as hard as you can!" Wei Mulan also said with a smile.

By the time they finished speaking, the commotion in the town had subsided, and it was obvious that the war was over.

But at the same time, in the Mongolian camp outside Gaizhou City, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes gathered together to discuss matters.

I heard the leader of the Bart tribe say: "I don't know exactly what Yue Tuo is leading the two thousand cavalry troops for? But I guess it's definitely not a good thing!"

After hearing this, the other leaders also expressed their opinions.

"Yes, I think so too! Huang Taiji is still smiling, I think he is crying!"

"I think so. When the war in Gaizhou also requires troops, how can we divide our troops unless we have to?"

"With our relationship with the Qing Dynasty now like this, does Huang Taiji really trust us? Go ahead and lie to the devil!"

"..."

After discussing for a while, we almost came to the same conclusion. The Patriarch of the Bart tribe suddenly suggested: "How about we leave tonight?"

Upon hearing this, many other leaders were moved. But the head of the Naiman tribe objected loudly at this time: "No, at this moment, do you think Huang Taiji, an old and cunning man, would be unprepared?"

Upon hearing this, many Mongolian leaders who originally wanted to speak fell silent. It is undeniable that Huang Taiji does have a great influence in their hearts, and they are afraid!

Seeing that the chief of the Bute tribe wanted to speak, the chief of the Naiman tribe quickly said: "The Tushan Mountain is already under construction. This time, I think the Ming army will be in trouble! Why don't we wait a little longer until the Tushan Mountain is built? Let’s see if we can capture Gaizhou. If we can go back in peace, it’s better than taking the risk and leaving directly, right?”

There was silence in the big tent for a while, and then the leader spoke.

"I think it's better to be safe. After the construction of Tushan is completed, the Ming army should not be able to fight back. The only way is that the Qing can capture Gaizhou. Huang Taiji is happy, and we can leave safely, right?"

"Yes, I think this is better. Otherwise, what will happen next if we run back to the grassland? Will the Ming Kingdom definitely accept us? If the Ming Kingdom does not let us go and is enmity with the Qing Kingdom, where can we go? Is there still a place for us?”

"It should take two more days, and the earth mountain will definitely be built. It only takes two days. If it still doesn't work, we won't care about it. How about that?"

"..."

After all, in the end, what these Mongolian leaders wanted to do was to wait until the mountain was built and see how the battle progressed before deciding.

Sure enough, after two days, Tushan was already quite large, and it was estimated that it would be almost there in another day. At this time, the earth mountain was already relatively high, and the Ming army's artillery could not pose a threat to the earth mountain. If it hit the earth mountain, it would only lose a layer of soil.

Huang Taiji looked at these and felt relieved. When he looked at the top of Gaizhou City, he saw that the Ming army had only then begun to panic and build high-rise buildings on the top of the city, trying to regain the commanding heights.

Haha, isn’t it too late to start now? Huang Taiji was thinking in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh. After all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still young, and the generals he appointed were also young people. Didn't he know that Jiang was too old? After saying this for so many years, would it be unreasonable? Young people will eventually make mistakes!
