The terrain outside the city is beneficial to the defenders, which is the first impression of Ma Jinzhong.

At the foot is an open field, the houses in front of the city walls are demolished, the trees are cut down cleanly, only the harvested rice fields, light rain, the rice fields are full of mud, stepping on the slippery and sticky feet, unable to run quickly.

This terrain is very annoying, if the soil back stone laying forward the road, the direction of attack can only be limited to a few points, the defenders can calmly deal with, if a large area of repair the road, thousands of people together to do, at least half a day.

Half a day is not enough, at least for a whole day, Ma Jinzhong shook his head again.Far from the city wall, it is good to say that to the vicinity of the city wall will be attacked by archery and arrows, if the defenders dare to go out of the city to disturb, a day may not be enough time, but will increase casualties.

“Is the city of General Wang of the Gongyi Camp?”

Closer to the wall, he held a trumpet in his mouth with his hands and shouted a voice, saying that he was not hostile, but a messenger of shouting.

“Yes, who are you?”There was a sound in the distance from the city.

"This will be Ma Jinzhong, who has served under the left handsome, is the old man of General Wang..." Ma Jinzhong answered while looking at the Chongyang County in front of him.

The city defense is very solid, which is the second impression of Ma Jinzhong.

Although it is only a small county town, there are almost all of them, there is a moat in front of the city wall, there is a trench outside the moat outside the moat, the middle is covered with plum piles and antlers, the city wall can be seen night fork, wolf tooth beats, stone canons and other guarding equipment, there are two moon cities in front of the city gate.

This trench is more than half deep, about a foot wide, the attacking soldiers can not jump over, can only jump down and climb up, the speed of the charge will be greatly delayed.What is more troublesome is that the more bulky siege equipment such as a semi-truncated ship cannot pass through, and the outer trench must be filled with soil and made several passages.

How much does it cost to fill this trench?If there is no equipment, it will take at least half a day, hundreds of casualties.

“Since it is the left-hand man, why is it under the banner of the Qing army?”The city heard the sound of the bright.

"This, since the ancient knowledge of the time of the day for Junjie ..." Ma into the loyalty of the dark, the old man also did not want to approve this tirritator skin, this is not a way!

The outer trench is a dense antlers and plum blossom piles, close to see clearly, there are a lot of iron parasites in the middle of the antlers, this thing is all hard spikes, it is easy to pierce the soles of the shoes, hurt the footboard and horseshoes.

How long does it cost to remove these antlers and plum blossom piles?In two days, the casualties will be at least 200...

Ma Jinzhong fought for half his life, and it was estimated that there was no difference in sight, if the city was attacked, it would take about three or four days to pay more than 300 casualties before it could attack the moat river.

And then there is the worse fight.

"General Wang, the eight flags are invincible in the world, you Chongyang projectile land, in any case, can't hold..." Ma Jinzhong's voice was higher and higher, fearing that Bor Hui could not hear after the battle, but in his heart, he was secretly scolding himself for giving up his bullshit.

This moat is very careful, the river is straight and neat, the slopes along the river are carefully leveled, it takes a lot of effort to see, and even looks a little extravagant for a small county.Ma Jinzhong can be sure without checking, the bottom of the river must be filled with sharp bamboo sticks and antler guns, regardless of the people, falling into it will be pierced out of a bloody hole.

The moat must be filled, there are plum piles and antlers on the other side of the river, and if the other side has bird coffins or even artillery, the number of casualties will increase exponentially after entering the range of the firearm.

It takes three days to get under the wall?Five days?Five hundred killed?A thousand people?This figure is not easy to estimate, but Ma Jinzhong can be sure that if the defenders fight to the death, it is definitely a nightmare for the attacking side.

It is just a small county town, the geographical location is not important, Ma Jin loyally can not understand, why the Ming Army spent so much effort to guard the city, almost like a hedgehog as impossible to down.

"As long as you donate to the city please fall, the Qing soldiers to ensure that there is no crime in the autumn, do not hurt a person in the city, if you dare not fall, the city after the break, the chickens and dogs will not stay..." Ma Jinzhong shouted dutifully, while secretly muttering in his heart, people clearly put out a kind of dead posture, scared two words will surrender, it is a joke.

In order to break through Chongyang, we must find the flaws of the Ming Army, such as where the wall is relatively dilapidated and low, but Ma Jinzhong looked back and forth, Chongyang City Wall seems to have been repaired and strengthened, there is no obvious weak link.

The walls of the small county town have no urn city, and the city gate is relatively thin, but the defenders built two moon cities and guarded them before the city gate.

The two moon cities about two feet high, significantly lower than the Chongyang city wall, even if the Qing army attacked the moon city, can not be a threat to the Ming army on the wall, the back of the moon city bare, no female wall bunkers, under the attack of the other bows and arrows, certainly can not hold.

The Qing army rushed in, only two three hundred pounds of artillery, these two moon cities built so strong, hit by one or two shells and tickled, unless 3,800 pounds of Shenwei general gun, it is possible to destroy these two moon cities.

"General Wang, Mr. Borhui said, as long as you are willing to go out and down, you can be promoted to third class . . . Ma Jinzhong dare not threaten Wang Kefan again, so as not to irritate the other party's life is in danger, he directly put out the conditions of Bolhui, intend to complete the task as soon as possible to leave."

“Normal, is the officer big?”Wang Kefan suddenly asked in the city.

"Yes, yes, almost with the guerrilla general..." Listening to his tone without malice, Ma Jinzhong urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and the face of the Ming Army on the wall gradually became clear.

The military discipline is good, this is another impression of Ma Jinzhong.

The armor weapons of these Ming army are very neat, although it is cloudy, but still full of gold and iron cold light.What is even more rare is that this Ming army is neatly shaped, standing on the wall in a row of brushes, hundreds of people are silent, except for their own riding hooves, the walls are up and down the needles can be heard.

This kind of strict military force, attacked by the Qing army will not easily collapse.The defense outside the city is done so meticulously, it is not difficult to imagine that the city must also be arranged, the barricade trenches, the knife and the car refused the horse or something.

Bad to deal with.

Even if you are under the wall, the real battle has just begun, how many casualties and time will it take to attack the wall and break the city gate?Two thousand people?Three thousand people?Ten days?Twenty days?Even if you try to break a section of the wall, the defenders will insist on resisting on the second line of defense.

Ma Jinli has already made a judgment, unless Borhui brain into the water, worms, otherwise will never attack Chongyang.

On the wall, Wang Kefan suddenly interrupted him.

"Go back and tell Borhui that Wang Kefanning is a southern ghost, not a king of the north!"

Ma Jinzhong, did not speak for half a day, suddenly put his left hand quietly to his chest, blocking the Qing soldiers behind him, and then raised his thumb!

“Since General Wang does not want to descend, Ma Mou has gone...”

He turned his horse's head and returned to this array, and hundreds of soldiers from the camp shouted in unison.

“Nin, not the king of the north!”

...

“That, you’ve heard...” Ma Jinzhong looked embarrassed and ashamed, bowing his head to Borhui and asking for guilt.

Bor Hui snorted, suddenly two legs a horse's belly, crotch iron horse rushed to the Chongyang city wall, fifty white armor soldiers followed closely behind, mud splashed, hoofed like thunder.

From the two arrows of the city wall, Borhui jumped off the horse, from the bag (including the bow and arrow, including the two parts of the bow and arrow) to pull out the strong bow and iron, standing in shape, the two arms forcefully, suddenly stepped back, the body squatted down at the same time, and the raw support opened the three-stone hard bow.

(The super-strong bow must be squatting down, the strength and weight of the waist and abdomen are used, and the strength of the two arms is not pulled open.))

The bow opened like a full moon, the arrow went like a shooting star, Borhui lifted light weight, in one breath, only to listen to the sound of the arrow, the arrow is in the middle of the city tower of the door plaque, "Chongyang" in the middle of the two words.

“I will come back and kill this city!”

The door staggered, Borhui's voice echoed in the city up and down, and the Ming Army saw that he was so brave, they were all changed color.

“If you’re unscrupile, fight now!”Wang Kefan suddenly smiled and pointed to Borhui and said, "If you dare to come again, I will pull up your white armored soldier dragon flag!"

“Smit it now!”He shouted at the moon city, and he looked at the tall officer who was not good, but he was too far away, and the bow and arrow bird bruises could not hurt him.

“Smit it now!”The city's army shouted together, and morale was renewed.

"Well..." Borhui was full of anger, and I would like to immediately order the siege of the city, the golden dragon flag of the Battalion represents the pride of the white armored soldiers, and has never been insulted like this, if he is alone, he would rather pay the price of his life, but also to defend the honor of the dragon flag.

However, he has just seen that the small Chongyang business like an iron walnut, want to smash the need to carefully prepare, but also to pay a lot of time, pay a lot of blood.

The general of the army cannot be enthroned.

The eight flags are the best at the field war, encountering this kind of firmness in the city, there is really no good way to think that the emperor Taiji besieged Jinzhou, forcing the ancestors of the city to eat human flesh, but also a long-term siege, failed to directly break the city.

What's more, he is also responsible for the task of chasing Yuan Zongdi, to rush to Jiujiang as soon as possible, to participate in the decisive battle against Li Zicheng, Chongyang is too far away from Yuezhou, the strategic position is not important, it does not have much significance to play it...

“Go!”

To stay is to humiliate yourself, Borhui turned his horse's head and walked away with the white armored soldiers in a gust of wind, and behind them, there was still a long way from the Ming Army's "hit now" shout...

“Yunnan, weren’t you afraid?”Afraid of irritating the Tatar General, what if you really attack the city?”Again and again, the two factions rebuked and looked at it, to determine that the Qing army had gone far, and Xu Bingzhong was still in a state of remorse.

“It’s a little scary, and it’s hard to say how hard it would be if they really were desperate to attack the city.”

Chongyang is not big, the walls are not high, Wang Kefan does not know how long the camp can persist, maybe a few days, maybe ten days, maybe a month..., but the initiative is always in the hands of Borhui, Wang Kefan has no good policy to withdraw from the enemy.

“And you still . . .?”More fear in the middle.

"We must not be weak in morale when we meet with the tirritators today, or the soldiers will not be afraid of the tallets, and the battle will not be fought."Wang Kefan's mood was also very calm, he knew better than anyone, from now on, the Qing army is the biggest enemy of the Gongyi camp!
