Jining Prefecture is under Yanzhou Prefecture, with Huitonghe in the south, Machan Lake in the west, and Luqiao Town Inspection Department in the southeast.

Its jurisdiction has three counties, divided into Jiaxiang, Juye and Yuncheng.

Jiaxiang County is east of Jiningzhou City, while Juye and Yuncheng counties are both located in the northwest of Jiningzhou City.

Jiningzhou City is a typical four-sided city, with bricks in the Hongwu period.

The city walls on all sides are all three miles long, with a wall of twelve meters high, with 700 marches, twenty-one turrets, and three thousand six hundred female walls.

There are four gates in Jiningzhou City.

Among them, the south gate is called Xuanfu, the north gate is called Zonghan, the east gate is called Suihua, and the west gate is called Cuicheng. There is a urn city outside each of the four gates.

A moat was dug outside the city, and suspension bridges were set up outside the four gates for passage.

The south gate bridge is called Feihong, the north gate bridge is called Chaotian, the east gate bridge is called Tongsi, and the west gate bridge is called Tongjin.

There is also a water gate built on the south side of the east gate, which connects to a small river flowing from the southeast.

It can be said that Jiningzhou is a strong city with a scale of no less than Yanzhou Prefecture City and complete defense.

It was Liu Liangzuo's idea to capture Shandong to present a gift to the Qing court, and he also formulated the marching route along the north of the canal. Now that he encountered a tough situation, Liu Zeqing naturally would not rush to speak out, but waited for Liu Liangzuo to stand up first.

Sure enough, seeing Liu Zeqing silently, Liu Liangzuo gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zeqing, why would I lead my troops to attack the east gate and the north gate. You lead my troops to attack the south gate and the west gate. What do you think?"

Liu Zeqing smiled and said, "It's over here, so what can I do if my brother says. But I reminded my brother that I must fight quickly."

After all, Liu Zeqing was once the general of Shandong and had a good understanding of Jiningzhou.

Jining Prefecture is close to the canal, with a prosperous business and a dense population. There are more than 100,000 people in the city, and there are tens of thousands of young and strong people who can be mobilized. Although Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo have an absolute advantage in their troops, if they cannot break the city quickly and give the Shen Ce army in the city a breathing opportunity to mobilize young and strong people to help defend the city, they will be very passive.

Liu Liangzuo nodded slightly, held the whip and pointed a little at the head of the city: "Brother Zeqing is right, you must overcome this city quickly."

After saying that, he stepped onto a small hill to command the battle. Seeing this, Liu Zeqing also urged his cavalry to follow.

The view on Xiaotugang is very good and you can clearly see the battlefield situation.

Liu Liangzuo narrowed his eyes and stood quietly on the horse's back like a shrimp.

The golden drums were roaring and the battle flag was waving. The soldiers under his command were divided into two parts, one of which moved towards the Suihua Gate of the East Gate, and one of which approached the North Gate Zonghan Gate.

Liu Liangzuo's troops were slightly more than Liu Zeqing, so the number of people attacking each city gate was about 15,000.

Liu Zeqing attacked the South Gate, while the West Gate had only 10,000 troops each.

Of course, this does not include the people they brought in.

These people were forcibly arrested by the second Liu and drove them from Fengyang Mansion. Their role was mainly reflected in filling the trenches.

Jiningzhou City is a big city, and the moat outside the city is very wide and deep. If it is not filled, it is impossible for soldiers to launch an attack on the city.

Of course, siege of the city is also an option, but it is not suitable for Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's current situation.

The sudden change occurred, and the Ming army dragged down to the north was likely to react and rushed to Jining Prefecture to provide reinforcements.

For quick battles, Er Liu has only one choice.

On the way from Fengyang Prefecture to Jiningzhou, 20% of the captured men died. When the rest learned that they had to fill the trenches, they burst into tears. Some even knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly.

But the soldiers under Liu Liangzuo did not have any sympathy.

Damn, who will fill in these strong men if they don’t fill in the trenches?

The soldiers drew their swords and shook them out of their sheath, threatening them to kill them immediately on the grounds of disobeying military laws if they did not fill the trenches.

Now the strong men did not dare to cry anymore, and they shrank their necks and stared at the soldiers timidly.

The impatient soldier began to hit the back of the bracelet with the back of the knife, forcing them to move the sandbag to the chicken bus.

The capture of Shandong was temporarily decided by Er Liu, so there was no one who built siege equipment such as siege, siege hammer, etc.

As for the spire-topped wooden donkey trench trucks that can protect their personnel from arrows, they will naturally not have one.

The strong men could only push the unobstructed chicken bus and rushed towards the moat with a tough bullet.

Behind them was a row of vicious soldiers holding single swords, and they were chopped to the ground by the soldiers if they were slightly slower.

The high-pressure strategy is still effective, and most strong men choose to obey.

Seeing the black crowd moving towards the moat, a smile appeared on Liu Liangzuo's face.

A strong man is really a good thing. Not only does he not have to spend money to raise him, he can also slaughter and cook meat and make soup when there is a shortage of food.

When siege, the strong men are even more consumables. They can not only fill trenches, but also consume a large amount of arrows from the defenders.

Liu Liangzuo would not feel sorry for many of these strong men. At worst, he would catch another batch next time.

As long as the losses of his soldiers could be reduced, Liu Liangzuo's goal would be achieved.

In troubled times, having soldiers in your hands is the king's way. These soldiers are the capital for Liu Liangzuo to become more and more entitled.

Resign as early as possible.

Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming surrendered to him early and had already been named the king.

Liu Liangzuo surrendered late, so he could only offer a larger gift of meeting and perform harder, so as to gain favor from the Qing court.

Kill him, kill him, one of the blood flows into a river, and one of the rich and prosperous people will emerge.

A general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone. The road to a famous general is not paved with dry bones. In order to win the favor of the Qing court, even if Liu Liangzuo and slaughter lightly every person in Jining Prefecture, he would not frown.

......

......

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

On the top of Dongcheng City, Shen Fu, the general general of the Shence Army Xiaoguo Camp, was anxious and sweating heavily.

Although he had expected that Er Liu would launch an offensive against Jiningzhou, he was still a little panicked and at a loss when all this happened.

Shen Fu was the only one who led the soldiers of the first battalion for no more than a month, and many things were still being explored. In this case, the strong enemy was invading him and his mood was a little broken.

Fortunately, there are enough cities in Jining Prefecture, so there is no need to worry about using it up.

Shen Fu ordered the soldiers of Xiaoguo Camp to rush to the tycoons near the moat to shoot, killing the danger as soon as possible.

As long as the moat is not filled, the second Liu will not pose a substantial threat to Jiningzhou City.

Like a locust's feathered arrow, it was like a huge fishing net falling from the sky.

The strong men who rushed in front had never seen such a posture, and they stood there one by one.

Although the power of the arrows shot by the Shen Ce Army has been reduced a lot, they are still very lethal to the strong men without inch armor.

As soon as the arrow rained down, more than a hundred strong men were shot to the ground. Some were not dead yet, and they rolled on the ground in pain, making heart-wrenching wails.
