In a blink of an eye, seven or eight days have passed, and the time has reached the tenth day of the second month of the fourth year of Apocalypse.

During these days, the Hou Jin Army was still tepid and did not rush to attack. It was always advancing steadily. At this time, outside the south gate, a huge fortification group of the Hou Jin Army had been formed. There were snow walls and bunkers everywhere.

The ladder foundation of Houjin also became wider and wider, reaching a scale of almost 00 steps, covering less than half of the area on the west side of the south gate.

However, due to the suppression of the Ming army's cannon soldiers, their foundations were only piled up to about 1 meter, and there was still a gap of meters from the top of the city.

If they want to make up for the gap of this meter, these dog Tatars can only take human lives to make up for it. Naturally, they dare not act impulsively.

During these days, Li Yuanqing and the sons of the Changsheng Camp were not idle either.

Li Yuanqing's "fire oil" is already quite large-scale, with reserves reaching more than 3,000 kilograms.

Of course, the fat of livestock and the fat of Tartar carcasses mainly have auxiliary functions, and their core component still relies on resin oil.

If the number of iron pots in the city were not limited, more than half of them would be used for cooking, and this number would have to be expanded several times.

In fact, Li Yuanqing had already used the "kerosene" offensive as early as the Lushun Defense War.

It's just that at that time, the time, place, people and people were favorable, so it didn't have to be as strenuous as it is now.

Here, if you want to use kerosene, the most important thing to ensure is the temperature of the kerosene.

Otherwise, once the fats cool down, the animal fats will condense and float on top, making it difficult to burn again when blown by the biting north wind.

But everything is relative, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Kerosene will not burn easily and is much more convenient to store.

Pour it directly into a wooden barrel and it will freeze quickly. When needed, just take it out and heat it in a pot.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing also ordered ten craftsmen to disassemble part of the explosive bag, take out the gunpowder, and make some simple grenades.

The process is actually very simple.

Dig up the snow layer in the city, touch the ground, and continue digging until you dig out sand and gravel.

Heat the sand and gravel, select the solid and hard parts, and wrap them tightly with bark and cloth together with the gunpowder, draw out the fuse, and store them in a dry and warm tent to prevent them from freezing.

When it's time to use it, just take it out, light the fuse, and throw it at the enemy.

Although the method was a local one, the Ming army had favorable terrain, so as long as it was done properly, it might not be ineffective.

In these days, the craftsmen have rushed to more than 100 grenades. Li Yuanqing also personally selected the 50 strongest pitchers from the sword and shield soldiers, personally guided them every day, and incorporated them into his personal soldiers.

sequence.

The actual throwing is not troublesome, just throw it out.

But this thing can hurt others and hurt itself. Li Yuanqing can only force these pitchers to develop their instincts and follow the throwing process completely.

Xu Heizi also trained fifty or sixty pitchers, but they mainly threw explosive packets.

If the situation is as tense as last time, this explosive pack can be directly added to the battlefield to instantly widen the distance between the two armies.

After all, it's only early February.

If we wait for the ice to melt and lakes and rivers to thaw, we may have to wait until at least April, or even summer at the end of May.

During this long period of time, Li Yuanqing did not want his sons and sons to suffer too many casualties, so he had to think of other ways.

At this time, both Houjin and Changsheng Camp were extremely well prepared and were waiting for the decisive battle at the last moment.

…………

The 12th day of February in the fourth year of the Great Tomorrow.

The sky has been clear for two consecutive days, and there are no more miscellaneous snowflakes. Houjin's snow wall has piled up to a height of 14 meters in front, and the soldiers can already climb directly to the top of the Ming army's city.

Early in the morning, as the sun had just emerged from the eastern horizon, something big happened at the Houjin camp.

Tens of thousands of soldiers poured out of the camp and headed straight for the city of Changsheng Camp.

Although the surrounding Tatar tribes continue to support various supplies, there are more than 20,000 people, all strong men, plus the Tatar slaves, they are probably more than 10,000 people, plus nearly 100,000 horses and livestock, the number of people every day

If they eat horse chews, their financial pressure is much greater than that of Li Yuanqing.

I'm afraid the old slave can't wait any longer. Even if Daishan wants to delay, it will be difficult for him to delay it any longer.

With the long honking of antlers, more than a dozen cattlemen from each banner, almost more than 5,000 people, under the cover of two to three thousand Tatar slaves, pushing cowhide chariots, advanced towards the Ming army's city.

Soon, they were forced to a hundred steps below the city.

The Tatar slaves began to push the cowhide chariot in front, and behind them, the main forces of the Tatar banners were eager to try, ready to rush forward at any time.

On top of the city, Li Yuanqing could see clearly.

I'm afraid Daishan also has a long memory.

Almost all of these Tatar soldiers were wearing iron armor, with breastplates on their chests, shoulder pads, elbow pads and wrist guards on their arms, and their backs were filled with various small flags.

The Wangqi of Daishan, Manggurtai, Amin, Yuetuo, and Dudu was just 150 steps away. It seemed that they were all out and ready to make a desperate move!

"The dog Tatars are going to fight for their lives!" Kong Youde stared at the Tatar war ahead with a very solemn expression.

Although we are fully prepared, the Tatars' 5,000 elites are all elites of various banners. This kind of pressure will be weighed by the gods and gods.

Shunzi's teeth kept grinding, "I'm afraid they won't come! If the dog Tatars dare to come up, they will have to give them a try."

Xu Heizi was also supervising the battle before the battle, and said coldly: "The Tatars have committed too many crimes! This time, let us do justice for heaven!"

Li Yuanqing's pretty face didn't show much expression.

Liu Qiao and Shu Murong were still watching the battle behind them.

As the saying goes, 'The winner is a prince, the loser is a bandit!'

The Tatars are desperate, and Li Yuanqing has no choice!

If it doesn’t work out, then be benevolent!

Even if he is destined to cause countless murders, Li Yuanqing can only stand up and bear it bravely!

Soon, as the cowhide chariot was pushed to the front, the main force of Houjin also pressed forward.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Open the gun and drive these bastards away for me!"

"yes!"

After a moment, a continuous sound of "bang bang bang" was heard, and intensive shots were fired in the direction of the Tatars.

These Tatar slaves did not dare to show their heads at all, and hid behind the cowhide chariots. They only dared to use the gap between the Ming army's muskets and carefully advance forward.

But the fiercer the resistance of the Ming army gave them more confidence. Facing Daijin's elite, Ming Gouzi was afraid.

The road was almost piled with corpses, and before long, the Tatar's cowhide chariot had been pushed a few steps below the city wall.

The elite Tatars behind them rushed forward one after another, with arrows raining down from them.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Ming Army rushed to the front, held up their shields, and surrounded the brothers behind them.

Seeing the crowds of Tatars from all banners below, Xu Heizi could no longer bear it any longer and hurriedly said to Li Yuanqing: "General, is it almost done?"

Li Yuanqing smiled coldly, "Don't worry, let them move closer and bring in more people."

Xu Heizi had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anxiety in his heart and focus his eyes on the battlefield ahead.

As the first group of Tatars rushed to the city, the spearmen of the Ming army rushed forward with lightning speed and drove them down hard.

However, more and more Tatars gathered behind them. There were probably more than 2,000 people on the entire slope of the stairs, and the spearmen on the city walls were obviously starting to get tight.

On the side, behind Li Yuanqing, Liu Qiao's two little hands were tightly intertwined, looking nervously at everything in front of him.

These days, Li Yuanqing was extremely pampered to her, and she also felt that her body was much better than before.

For Liu Qiao, her good days have just begun. All her dreams, all her longings, everything, have already been integrated with Li Yuanqing and cannot be separated at all.

But at this time, these Tatars are like devils, who may tear her dreams apart at any time and rob her of everything she has.

In Shenyang City, she had lost her home and parents, but here, she was absolutely unwilling to lose it all!

Unfortunately, at this moment, she could do nothing but scream in her heart, "Lord Buddha! You must bless the general! Bless the sons of the Changsheng Camp!"

Shu Murong was also extremely nervous.

She has broader military knowledge than Liu Qiao.

At this moment, she clearly understood that the moment to decide the outcome of this war was coming.

Although there were all her tribesmen in front of her, at this moment, Shu Murong did not want the tall man in front of her to fail.

She bit her red lips tightly, hoping that this man would bring her surprise and hope again like before.

By this time, the battle on the city had already entered a fever pitch.

More and more Tatars rushed to the top of the city and fought desperately with the Ming army's spearmen.

Xu Heizi couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly said: "General, it's almost done!"
To be continued...
