Chapter 327 Seize the opportunity
"That"
Wan bit her lips tightly and seemed a little embarrassed.
"If you want to fight, you will beat him hard. I don't believe that I can't beat an exhausted army."
Sha Dingzhou clenched his fists and said viciously.
Wan thought about it carefully and made some sense.
This Ming army is said to be led by Qin Liangyu. They must have been very tired after trekking from east Sichuan to Yunnan. Most of the reason why they were able to take Fengwu was because they were lucky.
If Shadingzhou had been in charge of Fengwu, the Ming army would not have taken it down.
Such an army seems to be in full swing, but in fact it is at the end of its strength and is not afraid of it at all.
All they had to do was wait for their labor and stay in Kunming City and wait for the Ming army to attack.
"Well, then my husband should still order martial law throughout the city to prevent Ming army spies from entering the city to create chaos."
Sha Dingzhou nodded lightly and said, "This is natural. But for the husband, I am not prepared to order people to block the city gate. Instead, I set up a temporary camp outside the city gate so that I can leave the city to pursue the Ming army at any time."
There are generally two ways to defend the city, one is to completely defend.
In this case, the city guards will order people to block the inner city gate with huge stones.
In this way, it is impossible for the siege party to use an ordinary siege ram to break the city gate, so they can only choose the Ant Attachment to attack the city.
This kind of siege method will cost a huge price, and even if the city is finally taken down, it will fall a little more.
But if the guardian blocks the city gate, it is naturally impossible to break through the city gate.
Generally, in this case, the defenders are preparing for a battle against the enemy and do not consider the possibility of retreat.
Another way to defend the city is what Shadingzhou said to build camps outside the city gate for blocking.
This tactic is very suitable for cities with Weng City.
This is true in Kunming City.
In the case of Weng City, there is no danger even if the first gate is conquered. On the contrary, the siege may be pocketed and beaten up in a mess.
In this case, the defender will set up camps outside the city.
If the siege party wants to attack a city gate, it must first attack the camp in front of the city gate.
If the defending city cannot defeat it, he can still withdraw to the city. If the siege continues to pursue, he will face volleys from all sides.
If the defending city is dominant, you can even go out to pursue the village.
Even in the worst case, the city is about to be broken, and the defender can choose to break through without being trapped in the city.
Generally speaking, when the defending city feels confident, they will choose the second method. If they feel pessimistic, they will generally choose the first method.
Of course, Shadingzhou thought he was the dominant party, so he chose to build a camp outside the city gate without hesitation.
Sha Dingzhou laughed unrestrainedly and said, "It seems that no one is available to the Ming court. He actually sent an old woman in her seventies to command the troops. It's really a laugh. I will capture Qin Liangyu alive this time!"
After Qin Liangyu led the army to Kunming City, he did not immediately order the attack, but ordered the soldiers to form a formation.
At the same time, she ordered the soldiers to start digging the tunnel.
What she wanted to use was a tactic that Gao Jie had tried and tested during the Northern Expedition, which completely exploded the city wall.
This tactic can reduce the losses of the siege's troops to a large extent to protect the lives of soldiers.
However, Qin Liangyu had never used it before. Although she heard it was very useful, she was inevitably a little nervous.
Seeing the Ming army began to dig tunnels, Shadingzhou on the top of the city laughed and said, "Madam, you see it. This old woman didn't even dare to attack the city with ant, so she started digging pits."
Wan also smiled happily: "This Qin Liangyu seems to be really confused. How can it be possible to dig tunnels and siege the city without a month? And as long as we do a good job of defense, they will not succeed."
Sha Dingzhou nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the gradually bulging mound.
"What do you think if we send someone to fill the hole in?"
Wan's eyes lit up and said, "This plan is very wonderful, it will suffocate them to death!"
The space in the tunnel is small and the air is thin. If the person inside the cave is blocked, he will be suffocated to death.
Of course, this move will not hurt the Ming army. It is more of a demonstration, telling Qin Liangyu that Sha Dingzhou is not easy to bully.
"Okay, then do that!"
"Look at me, handsome man!"
Zeng Ying saw a team of cavalry fighting out of the camp and rushed towards the mound, and hurriedly rushed to Qin Liangyu and reminded him.
Qin Liangyu said majesticly: "General Zeng Shen, please bring five hundred cavalry to block them."
Qin Liangyu was not worried that the cave entrance would be filled with the rebels, but that the rebels would see the truth and reality in the tunnel.
After all, ordinary tunnels are very wide, so that a large number of soldiers can be transported into it.
But the tunnels excavated by Mingjun this time were only digging the size of a coffin.
If the rebels saw the details inside and reported them to Shadingzhou, they would probably doubt the Ming army's true intention.
Qin Liangyu didn't know that Shadingzhou had heard of the tactics of bombing the city without a coffin, but he should still be careful.
This kind of tactic will definitely have better effect.
Zeng Ying immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"
Zeng Ying turned his horse and pointed at five hundred people and rushed to the rebel cavalry.
The speed of the cavalry showdown is the key.
Whoever can speed up can get a greater chance of winning in the hedge.
At this point, the Ming army led by Zeng Ying obviously had an advantage.
Their mounts have stronger explosive power than the rebels' Dian horses, and their acceleration ability is transcendent in a short period of time.
The rebels were not panicked when they saw the Ming cavalry suddenly coming. They adjusted their formation and decided to fight head-on.
I saw yellow dust rolling, and the two teams of cavalry rushed head-on, and suddenly they were overturned and neighed.
Zeng Ying had a lot of combat experience. He cleverly used the length advantage of the horse spear in his hand to sweep several rebel soldiers under his horse.
Most of these rebel soldiers used swords, which did not pose any threat to Zeng Ying.
The other Ming cavalry were also very brave. They were all Zeng Ying's personal soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was significantly higher than that of the rebel soldiers. They rushed to pieces in just one round and then stormed the rebel formation.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rebel general quickly signaled to retreat.
If you continue to fight at this time, not only will you not be able to gain any advantage, but you may also lose yourself in it.
The Ming cavalry would not let them go so easily.
They skillfully controlled the horse and chased, and during the pursuit process, nearly a hundred rebel cavalry were killed by the horse.
The rest of the rebel cavalry fled in panic and dared to breathe a sigh of relief after escaping all the way into the camp.
Seeing this, Shadingzhou was furious.
"This bunch of trash is really embarrassing to me."
Wan comforted, "Don't get angry, husband. It's better if you haven't filled the hole now. When the Ming army tunnel is about to be dug and a large number of soldiers are transported in, we will pour back the water channel and drown them alive!"
