Taramu, who was beside him, saw that he could put the blame on Ban Zhifu, so he naturally finished it without hesitation.

Two Mongolian Niu Lu Erzhen saw that the Jurchens had put their shit pot on Ban Zhifu's head, so they naturally followed them to take advantage of the situation.

Ban Zhifu saw that everyone's spearhead was aimed at him and wanted to take him as a scapegoat. He couldn't help but be anxious and angry. He didn't care much and immediately shouted loudly: "Okay, after defeat, you are all counted as our Han army. Our Han army has only a few hundred people, and your army has more than two thousand people. Even if a few Han army escaped at the battle, why not harm the overall situation? Humph, if it weren't for General Shang's order, I wouldn't have come to your muddy waters."

Ban Zhifu was really anxious, but his complaints instantly ignited the agitation of Jiala's true love Bali.

"Ban Chanling, what do you mean? Do you think your Han army is not a member of my Dajin Jin, and I am so useless to the Blue Banner?" Aibali snorted coldly, his eyes full of fierceness.

"Master Jiala, this is not what the slave means." Ban Zhifu knew that he had made a mistake and felt very regretful and hurriedly decided.

"Hmph, don't be clever and arrogant. I will watch the battle all the way, and I will understand it in my heart. At that time, I will send your troops to fight, so you will be hesitant. Then the Han army took the lead in fleeing. The defeat of this battle is the main cause. If you don't punish me, how can you convince the public?" Aibali said with a final word, and then slapped the table and shouted: "Come, pull Ban Zhifu out of the tent and beheaded on the spot!"

Two white-armored soldiers responded, rushed towards Ban Zhifu, pulled him out of the ground, and dragged him out of the tent.

"Master Jiala, please spare me! I am wronged, I am loyal to Dajin!" Ban Zhifu looked pale and begged for mercy loudly.

"Pull it out!"

"Master Jiala! Even if the slave dies, he still has something to say. If we continue to attack like this, our army will be unable to take over this Jinjiazhuang Fort!" When he was about to be pulled out of the military tent, Ban Zhifu shouted this sentence as quickly as possible.

"Oh,...come back."

Hearing Aibali's faint sentence, two white-armored soldiers let Ban Zhifu down and earned their lives back from the brink of death. Ban Zhifu's body became weak and lay on the ground.

Aibali's stubby eyebrows leaped, and a sarcastic smile flashed across his face: "Since Ban Shenling said that, I'm going to want to hear the reason. If it makes sense, it can be avoided from death."

"Thank you, Lord Jiala, thank you, Lord Jiala!" Ban Zhifu walked forward and kowtowed repeatedly, "Sir, please forgive me for saying that the Ming general Li Xiao has guarded the Jinjiazhuang Fort very firmly. If our army attacks the city wall like this, it will be difficult to win except for losing its own soldiers. Unless otherwise set up another plan, our army will be trapped if this Jinjiazhuang Fort is not defeated!"

"Oh, according to your opinion, what new strategy does Bantangling have?"

"Sir, I have been thinking about this plan for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to explain it to you. Now, I hope you will hear the words of your servant."

"speak!"

Ban Zhifu walked a few steps, approached Jialae Zhenai Bali, and whispered his plan.

"Well, Ban Chan is good at taking this plan. You Han people are not good at fighting, but there are many conspiracies and tricks. Not bad, I am sure. If you break this Jinjiazhuang Fort in the future, I will be the first contribution of your Han army." Aibali grinned.

"I thanked Lord Jiala for his behalf." Ban Zhifu looked happy when he saw that his plan was adopted, and kowtowed to Jiala Ezhen again.

.........

Three days passed in a flash.

In the past three days, Li Xiaojun seized the time to reorganize his troops in preparation for the next battle.

In addition to the death of the soldiers who were seriously injured in the past three days, in the last battle, Li Xiao's army killed a total of 115 soldiers and 76 auxiliary soldiers, and nearly 200 wounded people are still under treatment.

In order to supplement the loss, Li Xiao added nearly 200 auxiliary soldiers to the combat ranks. Except for the Lumi Gunners who had no extra Lumi Guns to use, only 56 were left, the remaining three teams of shield soldiers, five teams of spearmen, and 100 teams of rampant soldiers were all supplemented.

The weapons that were depleted by the shield soldiers and spearmen, Zhang Tongzhu's blacksmith shop, have also been urgently repaired, so that these newly recruits who have joined the team can be used well.

Then, Li Xiaojun began to change his clothes and gave priority to the captured armor to different combat teams according to the degree of elaboration.

All the rampant teams were dressed in white-swinging armor and fine iron armor.

All the spearmen were changed to iron armor, and only one team of people wore cotton armor because of insufficient number of iron armor.

The shield soldiers and the Lumi gunman were all wearing cotton armor.

The remaining 260 auxiliary soldiers were all replaced with cotton armor to increase their defense.

As for the more than 200 pieces of cotton armor, Li Xiao replaced the Liaodong army of Jin Dakui's army and the local Xuanfu army of Du Shaoru's army who performed outstandingly. Li Xiao's generous approach made them very grateful.

Although this battle to defend the city by Chenggong made the morale of Li Xiao’s army greatly increase, Li Xiao knew that the real hard battle had not yet arrived.

What will the enemy do next?

This is a question that Li Xiao has been thinking about these days.

He didn't think the enemy was so stupid, and he would always use the last attack method to fight to the end. So, what would they do and what new siege method should they use to attack?

No one can answer Li Xiao's question.

Li Xiao slowly paced on the cleaned city wall. He looked at the connected Tartar camp in the distance, his face as steep as iron.

During these three days, the Tartars asked the people to carry soil and sand every day, and had filled all the deep pits and trenches outside the north and south walls of Jinjiazhuang Fort. However, Li Xiaojun, who was short of soldiers and generals, did not send troops to attack and drive away these people.

Instead of using the bodies of the people to fill these deep pits and trenches in the future, they will fill them in as soon as possible.

After all, no matter what, these deep pits and trenches are completely ineffective for the Tartar soldiers. Since they can no longer play a protective role, Li Xiao naturally does not need to spend more energy on this.

......

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Xiao's entire army had just had breakfast. The loud swan roar came from the enemy formation outside the city, announcing a new attack by the enemy's army and began again.

Li Xiao's entire army began to respond urgently.

They carried 10 siege ladders from north and south each carried far away. However, Li Xiao noticed that these siege ladders had changed from the common people last time to the Ming army captured by the Tartars.

Tian Wei, the general leader of the aristocratic family, smiled teasingly: "Fuck, these dogs and Tartars, have their old tricks again! OK, I will send you to the West just like last time!"

Tian Wei's words made the fortress guards beside him burst into laughter.

Every military soldier felt that these Tartars attacked like this again, and it seemed that their skills were exhausted.

Li Xiaojun's optimistic attitude only lasted for a very short period of time.

"Look, what is that?"

A fort soldier looking at the top of the fort building suddenly said loudly.

Li Xiao held up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and looked carefully. He saw that there were ten strange objects that were pushing out of the Tartar formation and slowly pushing towards the two north and south city walls.

Seeing these strange things, Li Xiao's entire army was full of shock.

At this time, as the Tartars pushed closer and closer, Li Xiao finally saw it clearly.

This strange thing was made by the Tartars assembled together with four shields, two tails, and a large piece of open space was empty in the middle to hide inside. A thick wooden board was nailed on it, and the wooden board was covered with cowhide and wet quilts to prevent spilling and dust bottles. From the entire appearance, it looked a bit like a car from later generations.

"What's the point of making these things?" Tian Wei was also very surprised when he looked at the things he pushed closer and closer.

These things followed the siege ladder. When the siege ladder was shaking towards the city wall, these things slowly leaned towards the two north and south fort walls.

Until now, Li Xiao finally understood its purpose.

"The Tartars! They want to dig the city wall!"

Li Xiao's loud shout shocked all the fort guards.

Digging the city wall?

The enemy's army actually had such tricks?

"The wall of Jinjiazhuang Castle was made of rammed earth and was not covered with bricks. It was old and the inside had been loosened. The enemy's attack was fierce!" Li Xiao gritted his teeth and sighed.

"Mr. Li, what should I do if this is the case?" Tian Wei next to him asked anxiously.

"Quickly organize two military troops from Jin Dakui's troops and Du Shaoru's troops to burn coal blocks, and then dump them down the wall. Be sure to burn all the rigging trucks used to poach walls!" Li Xiao ordered urgently.

"Get orders!"

As soon as Li Xiao finished setting up the arrangement, the sound of "click! click!" was heard everywhere. The captured Ming troops had already leaned against the city wall and began to climb and attack the city.

The splashing feces and gold juice and the rising quicklime bottles fell almost at the same time. At the same time, the ladder hammer also began to smash the siege ladder hard on the siege ladder.

Li Xiaojun's defensive cooperation this time was much more skilled than last time. The enemy troops attacked this time were the depressed Ming troops and were captured. It was rare that a few Ming troops climbed up to the top of the city and were immediately injured by Li Xiaojun's defensive mission, which was very easy.

Li Xiao saw that many Ming soldiers were scalded by boiling feces on the city walls, and the rapid limes even turned into a large area of ​​deadly white mist, scalding these Ming soldiers who were sprinkled to death or burning their eyes.

In a very short period of time, three siege ladders were smashed by Li Xiaojun, and the enemy troops on it fell down screaming.

Only a few enemy troops climbed up the city wall, and were immediately assassinated by Li Xiaojun, who was waiting for battle.

In this seemingly smooth situation, Li Xiao's face was very serious.

He heard clearly that the sound of jingling and striking chisels came from under the fort wall.

Under the north and south walls, there were five such carts leaning against the walls, and the sound of chiseling was very harsh, as if a slight vibration was coming from the city wall under his feet.

Li Xiao understood the enemy's tricks.

The captured Ming army attacked the city wall in a feint attack, in order to restrain its own troops. Digging the city wall below is the enemy's key attack.

Whether these rigging can be burned in time has become the key to whether the fort wall can be preserved.

In the square in the fort, An Qian led the people to ignite piles of coal. After each pile of coal burned, there were soldiers from Jin Dakui or Du Shaoru's troops, which were respectively packed in iron barrels, lifted them to the south or north walls, and then poured them down from the top of the city wall.

There were plenty of coal in Jinjiazhuang Fort. Jin Dakui's troops and Du Shaoru's army were running madly between the square and the city wall, repeating the movements of loading coal and dumping.

At this time, the Tartars, who were standing outside the trench, began to shoot light arrows again.

From time to time, there were Li Xiao's army auxiliary soldiers, Jin Dakui's army soldiers, and Du Shaoru's army soldiers fell down by arrows. However, now everyone is wearing cotton armor, and compared with the last time, the number of casualties is much smaller.

Finally, five such shield cars modified from the folding gear began to burn and catch fire.

The people who poached under the belt did not dare to escape, and the beating tatars outside ordered them to continue to speed up their progress in excavation.

"Boom!"

A cart like this finally collapsed, smashing most of the people inside into meat sauce. Only a few people who were burning like fire people ran a distance, howling, then fell to the ground and died until they were burned to a piece of coke.

Two such riggings were burned down one after another, and the people inside could not escape death.
To be continued...
