019 [rebellious general]

The city wall can't be attacked, and the city gate can't be opened. I don't know how thick the gate of Ningxia City is. In short, the huge crash can't shake the gate at all with the concerted efforts of dozens of people, not even a little movement.

Li Rusong looked at the tragic siege, shook his head and said to himself, "I underestimated Ningxia."

"Mingjin withdraws troops!" Li Rusong finally gave the order to collect the troops. Li Ning led the remnants to escape back and lost nearly 1,000 people.

"The siege of the city should be put away first. It seems that it has to be discussed in the long way." Li Rusong frowned.

"Hmm, crazy, you're just such a little capable," Ma Gui secretly sneered in his heart.

Li Rusong did not dispel his enthusiasm because of a failure, and soon came up with a countermeasure. He called Ma Gui to his big tent and ordered, "I'll give you seven days to prepare 30,000 cloth bags for me, which are full of dirt."

Ma Gui wondered why he wanted a cloth bag for a war. But he did not dare to ask, let alone disobey, and came out after receiving his order. Fortunately, there were many people under him. Moreover, he was still the deputy general of the coalition army. He still obeyed when he commanded the army. Tens of thousands of people worked at the same time and completed the task in only five days.

Li Rusong looked at the mountain of earth cloth bags, nodded with satisfaction, and then called Ma Gui: "This evening * these bags are all placed under the wall of Ningxia. Isn't this wall high? Then we will lower him!"

Only then did Ma Gui understand Li Rusong's original intention, but who should let him do such a lifeless and dangerous thing as a cloth bag? Ha ha, by the way, didn't I set up a special army for this purpose? Let them go.

Ma Gui called Huo Fangyi over. Huo Fangyi is fighting with the horse he chose these days. He hasn't ridden the horse yet, so he has been taught by others these days and has been practicing. He was so busy that he didn't even think seriously about the intention of preparing the cloth bag. After Ma Gui gave him such an important task, he realized the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately objected: "That's too dangerous! I can't let my soldiers do such a thing.

As a soldier, he had to obey the command. Huo Fangyi dared to refuse the order in front of the leader, which annoyed Ma Gui. He said angrily, "You dare to disobey the order!"

Huo Fangyi quickly realized that this is not in modern times, and there is not so much freedom of speech, so he said, "I don't mean that, but this kind of thing is too dangerous. I'm afraid I can't complete the task better."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense! You should know that you should do such a dangerous thing. Since you don't want to disobey my order, then hurry up and prepare! Remember, it's tonight!"

"In this case, I wonder if the general can give us some horses, so that it will be more, faster, and less dangerous."

Ma Gui nodded and said, "This is a good way, but the number of horses is limited, and these horses are very expensive. I can't let my cavalry do such a dangerous thing. Why don't you go to the logistics to get hundreds of chariots and transport them by car."

Damn, are these horses more expensive than human lives? Huo Fangyi really didn't realize that the war horses were very expensive in that era. These war horses were bought from the Hetao area and the Liaodong area. Generally, they couldn't buy them if they wanted to buy them. Ordinary Ma Magui and Li Rusong didn't bring much, because their main task this time was to attack the city, except for the cavalry from outside. Killing the enemy can't play much role, so most of the coalition is infantry except for a small number of cavalry. And one is really more expensive than ordinary soldiers, not to mention these surrender soldiers under his subordinates, which is even more cheap!

Huo Fangyi thought that General Ma was right. His team was all from the enemy. If he didn't let them die, who would go? But now that they have been submissive, they should no longer be treated unfairly! Alas! The military order is like a mountain, and you can't resist it!

Huo Fangyi has just condensed his troops into a whole, and now he wants to push them into the fire pit. It's too sad. The only thing he can do now is to motivate them to complete the task better.

In the evening, Huo Fangyi ordered the chef to bury the pot to make rice. He told the chef alone: "Make the best food and let the soldiers eat well. Tonight is a tough battle!"

Everyone ate happily. They all wondered what happened to General Huo today and whether something good had happened. But they are all wrong. It's not a good thing, but a very dangerous thing.

Huo Fangyi organized the team and began to teach: "I know that everyone came from the enemy, either a soldier or a prisoner of war, but one thing is that we are the same as them. We are all soldiers! We are all soldiers who don't want to fight! I know that everyone has suffered a lot of grievances these days, and I think you can understand that we are different from them in a sense. Although they accepted us, they didn't believe us very much. Tonight is the best opportunity for us to prove ourselves! General Ma gave us an extremely difficult task, that is, to move all the mountain of earth cloth bags in front of us under the wall of Ningxia City. I believe that with these bags at the bottom, the Ming army attacking the city tomorrow will be extremely smooth! Then we can be reunited with our family!"

The whole tone of Huo Fangyi is full of excitement and sadness. He didn't even believe the last sentence. Who knows how many people would be left in his team after that night. However, his speech infected the members of the army, and they also wanted to change their image in the whole coalition through a battle. Although they also realized the danger, compared with the ridicule and discrimination they received, those are nothing. There are no immortals in war!

Li Rusong led his soldiers to watch the mission. He had made a good idea. When Huo Fangyi put these earthen bags, he ordered to start attacking the city without giving the enemy in the city a chance to breathe and taking Ningxia City in one fell swoop! At the same time, in order to prevent Huo Fangyi and these soldiers from being passively lazy, he has prepared to supervise the army. Whoever retreats will be killed!

In the past few days, Ningxia City has strengthened its city defense. After all, the strength of the Ming army has increased many times. Who knows when they will launch an attack, so they are ready to fight at any time day and night.

Although Huo Fangyi wanted to fight in person, which could better motivate his troops, he was still a little afraid of death. He felt that this matter was not worth it, and he said that he wanted to leave it to the rear command, so this became the best reason why he did not go to the front line. He divided his troops of more than 900 into two groups, one divided into 400, and the rest as backups. Each batch of chariots is fifty taels, and every eight people push a car.

As soon as the night fell, Huo Fangyi issued the order to attack all! A cloth bag weighs up to 100 catties, and a car can hold 20 bags. In this way, each car weighs 2,000 catties. Eight soldiers push it up a little laboriously, but in order to minimize the danger and the number of round trips, they can only do this. The first 400 people pushed the chariot full of cloth bags and drove at the same time. They completed it smoothly and lost almost zero, because the enemy on the wall had been under the wall from the time they found them to attack. They leaned the chariot to the root of the wall, turned it over hard, poured all the cloth bags at the foot of the city, and then pushed the car and turned back.

Someone hurriedly told the matter to Bai, who took people up the city wall. So that's it. I want to use this method to attack the city! It's too underestimated me!" Bai immediately ordered all * to defend the wall, and the other soldiers threw stones under the city! The pots placed on the wall were all boiling water. They sneered and said, "Let them have no return!"

While the first group of people rushed back, the second group of people had pushed the chariot and rushed over, but they were obviously not as lucky as the first people. The cannonballs and arrows fell from the sky and hit the ground, cloth bags and their bodies beside the soldiers. Some lucky people rushed left and right, and there were no shrapnel and arrows to hurt themselves. Some tragic people were directly shot through, and some were blown with blood and flesh, and the number of people was not enough. The reserve team members directly made up from behind to ensure that the cloth bags could be smoothly transported to the city.

"Damn, after fighting for so long, why are there so many arrows in Ningxia City? How many weapons have been prepared!" Ma Gui scolded.

Li Rusong frowned and said, "It seems that this thief has long been prepared to guard Ningxia for a long time. This time, he must capture his head, so that all the thieves in the world who are rebellious dare not rebel again!"

The battle was extremely tragic. The soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the city had to face hot boiling water and huge stones. Some people were directly burned by boiling water, revealing their white bones and muscles. Some people were directly smashed by the boulder, broke their legs and injured their arms. Dozens of people were lost in this group, and Huo Fangyi immediately ordered the follow-up team members to make up for it. The only comforting thing is that the boiling water can't boil for a while, and this time it will take at least a quarter of an hour. However, at this time, because Bai ordered to help all the gunpowder on these arrows, with the support of gunpowder, the lethality will be amazing. If this arrow goes down, if it pierces people's body, it will directly explode.

The most difficult thing is not to transport them, but to transport them under the city walls. Someone has to pile up these bags and make them into a ladder. In this way, it will take a lot of time under the city. Time is equivalent to life. Most of the soldiers die under the city and in the process of stacking bags.
