Chapter 299 Hu Ben Army joins forces with Zheng Jiajun to seek the moon
I didn't know if I didn't look at it, but when I saw it, I scared Zheng Jing and Li Shitou.
Marines and wars are really not something that can be done with just one enthusiasm.
Perhaps if they meet ordinary miscellaneous army king Ermazi and others, they can still resist one or two. If they really meet the powerful Eight Banners Army, they will only be slaughtered.
Li Shitou tirelessly explained to the soldiers how to defend the city, when he was so young that he could throw wooden rocks, when he shot arrows, when he poured oil and gold juice.
There are two reasons.
One is that he really wants to see someone besides the emperor, King Jin and King Zhong, who can stand up to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Of course, this takes time and price, so Li Shitou is willing to do his best to teach.
Secondly, they are now grasshoppers on a rope. Jiaozhou City cannot be defended, not only can he not complete the mission assigned to him by the emperor, but it is very likely that the entire army will have to be defeated here.
Zheng Jing's attitude was probably the same, and he still agreed with what Li Shitou said.
If you want to defend Jiaozhou, you can't rely solely on him and Li Shitou. All the soldiers and even the young and strong have to do their best.
Only by perfecting the details can we avoid being at a disadvantage when the Tartars attacked the city in large numbers.
While the Tartars have not arrived yet, teach these soldiers basic skills as much as possible.
Of course, it is impossible to achieve perfection.
In such a short time, I can only pick up important teachings. As for how the soldiers can learn, it depends on luck.
In fact, Zheng Jing himself does not know much about the skills of defending the city.
After all, the Zheng family started out with maritime affairs, and compared to Zheng Jing is better at commanding naval battles. This is engraved in the bones and cannot be changed easily.
Therefore, when Li Shitou was explaining, Zheng Jing was listening very seriously, hoping to learn something from it.
Li Shitou went into battle with both hands and feet, and danced with his hands and feet to teach the soldiers some basic things.
As for the effect, I can only wait until the Qing army sieges the city.
But one thing is certain, at least it has been greatly improved compared to before his teaching.
"General Wang, the Tartars are here!"
At this moment, the words of the personal soldiers made everyone's hearts reach their throats.
Although Zheng Jing and Li Shitou have experienced many big and big wars, it is actually the first time that the enemy they faced alone.
They actually had no idea what this battle could be like, so they could only cross the river by feeling the stones.
"If the order is sent, the entire army will enter a wartime state, and the young and strong people will be ready to go to the city to help defend the city at any time."
Wang Ermazi's reaction was still very fast. Since this day is coming sooner or later, it would be better to come earlier.
"Your Highness, General Li, the city is dangerous, why don't you stay in the county government first?"
"General Wang, what are you saying? Aren't you asking the soldiers to poke our backbone? I, Mr. Li, are here and don't go anywhere."
Zheng Jing also nodded and echoed: "One more person, one more effort. This prince must also stay at the top of the city."
Seeing this, Wang Ermazi stopped persuading him, and just nodded and said, "It will be hard for you to do this."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Accompanied by the low sound of cow horns, the Qing army's siege began.
Now it seems that the fortress group established by the Rebels outside Jiaozhou City was useless, and it did not even stop the Qing soldiers for much time.
The Green Camp soldiers rushed in the front, and they trotted along the way along the ladder.
The Ming army had no artillery available, so they could only watch the Qing army rushing towards the foot of the city.
The distance with arrows did not have a good effect, so I could only wait for the Qing soldiers to rush closer.
Tolerance, now there is only tolerance.
When the Qing army rushed to only one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall, Li Shitou ordered: "Arrowers are ready."
This order was given to him by the 5,000 Tiger Army.
Because he was skeptical about the archery ability of the Rebels.
Even the Hu Ben Army has only completed the volley after a year.
As for accuracy, you can't be demanding.
Compared with archery, the use of firearms is easier.
However, the number of guns and cannons of the Hu Ben Army was limited, and this trip only brought a certain number of flintlock guns and ammunition. Even if it was used, it must not be used at critical moments.
As for grenades, they have brought a lot of them. This thing has been mass-produced by the Ming Dynasty. At least the Hu Ben Army can be fully equipped.
One hundred and fifty steps are still a bit far away, and even if you shoot down from the top of the city, the arrows will appear soft.
So Li Shitou just asked the archer to prepare, and did not let the archer shoot the arrow immediately.
He was waiting for the Qing army to rush closer.
One hundred and thirty steps, one hundred steps...
That's now!
"Shoot the arrow!"
Li Shitou shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army shot out arrows one after another.
Arrows woven into a large net and covered the charge of Qing soldiers.
Unlike the Eight Banners soldiers, ordinary green camp soldiers only wear ordinary cloth armor.
Therefore, even ordinary arrows can pose a great threat to them.
The Qing soldiers were shot by arrows from time to time and screamed.
Those who were shot at the eye were the worst, desperately trying to pull out the arrow, but this was just accelerating death.
"General Li is mighty!"
Seeing this, Wang Ermazi felt a little relieved.
How great would it be if his men had the execution ability of the Hu Ben Army.
The Hu Ben Army not only has strong execution ability, but also has high archery standards. He is really envious.
Seeing this, Zheng Jing naturally refused to fall behind. He looked at Gan Hui and ordered: "The whole army is ready to shoot arrows!"
Similar to the Hu Ben Army, the Zheng family army is more accustomed to using firearms.
But being used to using firearms does not mean that they do not know how to use crossbows.
To a certain extent, the Zheng family army was even more proficient in using bows and arrows than the Hu Ben Army because they had been in contact with each other for longer.
It usually takes at least three years to train a good archer, and sometimes even longer.
The addition of the Zheng family army made the bow and arrow denser, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties during the impact.
But Jishha was not panicked at all.
In his opinion, these green camp soldiers were just cannon fodders for charge, and it didn't matter if they all died.
Anyway, Jiaozhou will be captured and captured on the spot, and then there will be tens of thousands of green camp soldiers.
As long as the main force of the Eight Banners is not damaged, they can suppress these rioters at all times, and the Green Camp soldiers will be shocked and willingly work hard for the Qing Dynasty.
So in Jixiha's view, how to preserve the strength of the Eight Banners Army is his first priority now.
He would not send out the Eight Banners soldiers until the last moment.
The strength of the Ming army gave Wang Ermazi confidence, and he ordered the soldiers to join the ranks of archery.
However, these mobs that were pieced together were obviously not of the level of the Zheng family army and the Hu Ben army. Their arrows were tilted and their strength was soft. Not to mention killing enemies, even killing chickens.
Wang Ermazi was extremely embarrassed and kept coughing to cover up.
