    The flames of war were thickening, and flames pierced the night sky. Under the city of Tai'an, the sound of killing shook the sky.

    Siege at night was the suggestion of a low-ranking officer in Yang Hu's army.  He was originally a military officer, but Liu Jin's people seized the farmland assigned to him by the guard during Qingzhang period, pretending it was a local hiding land. With no land to grow, he had to become a refugee and escaped from the guard.  In Shandong, he simply joined the army.

    According to his idea, Yang Hu's army attacked the city day and night, especially at night, because the guards at the top of the city could not see the specific deployment and movements of the white-clothed army below the city at night, so they could not predict the enemy planes and prepare in advance.  This method really hurt the defenders in the city. The offensive outside the city is sometimes tight and sometimes loose, day and night, especially at night, it is impossible to see the opponent's number clearly. It is impossible to predict where the four cities will feint and where the real attack will be. They can only defend day and night intensely. They are already exhausted  .

    Yang Hu's patience was almost exhausted.  He originally planned to use Tai'an as bait to lure the Jinan defenders out of the city to fight, so the offensive was not very fierce. Unexpectedly, the Jinan defenders have been standing still.  There is not much left, and if Tai'an City is not captured, the whole army will face a situation where there is no food available.

    Therefore, Yang Hu has given up his plan to besiege the city and fight for aid these two days, and he will attack Tai'an City with all his strength. He must take this city, use the food stored in the city as supplies, and use the rich and beautiful women in the city to boost the morale of the whole army, which is declining day by day.

    Yang Hujun has four cannons, which were transported from nearby county towns with great effort by horses and oxen. The officers from the original guard who came to serve did not know how to use cannons.  Set up iron trippers and pile up earthen walls. As for the elevation angle of the artillery, the target distance, etc., I don¡¯t know, but such a large city is placed there, and every shot can always hit the wall or shoot into the city.

    The city gate was built with layers of stones to prevent it from being blasted away by Yang Hu's cannons.  But the iron pellets ran out.  Han Bai, the forward of Yang Hujun, was unmoved, still waving the flag, and ordered his troops to attack the city with all their strength regardless of casualties.

    The artillery at the top of the city made earth-shattering noises and spewed gunpowder smoke. Explosive shells violently suppressed the attack of Yang Hu's army. Catapults, trench bridges, and ladders continued to gather at the dead corner of the artillery. Stones, fireballs, and poisonous smoke balls were constantly  Throwing towards the top of the city, people's lives were continuously buried on the battlefield, but no one cared to take a look at them.

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hu frowned and walked back and forth anxiously. Mu Yun, Doufu Lang and other trusted generals stood aside silently.  I can't attack, now the artillery is exhausted, Liu Liu's army is blocked by Yang Ling outside the city of Dezhou, and the most terrible thing is that the food and grass are about to run out. Do I have to give up Tai'an? Not reconciled, not reconciled!"

    Tofu Wolf rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, otherwise, I will lead a group of people to search the nearby prefectures and counties again. How can the food we find be able to support the army for another ten days? We are exhausted now, but the guards in Tai'an City  I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for the army, but I don't believe that they can survive for ten days."

    Mu Yun said: "Brother, in my opinion, we might as well send our troops south. There is enough food and grass in the south, which is enough to supply our army. If we occupy Nanjing and raise a member of the Zhu family's royal family as a puppet, at worst, we can fight with the capital."  Plan the river and govern."

    Tofu Wolf sneered and said: "The surname Mu seems to take all the land of Shandong, and use Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi to form an iron chain to strangle the throat of the capital. It's your idea, right?  They clamored to go to Jiangnan again."

    Mu Yun smiled slightly and said: "March and war are all about adapting to the situation. Our original plan was to seize all the land in Shandong, and then go north to the capital to kill its leader. But no one expected the court to adapt so quickly. They  Our army no longer follows us in futile campaigns, but divides up the land and defends against us, relying on the advantages of the city to compete with us. Our advantage lies in field battles. The only current plan should be to make other plans.¡±

    The tofu wolf snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "I am! You are a hunter, and you still think you are Zhuge Liang. What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be? If you take Tai'an early, you will be fine. It's not that you said to encircle and not fight.  Fake fighting to lure the Jinan army, now Tai'an has already taken it down."

    "Okay, okay, stop arguing!" Yang Hu waved his hand in annoyance, looked outside the tent, the sky was already twilight, and Yang Hu sighed: "Order Yi Chenfeng and Li Yeyin's troops to immediately cooperate with Han Bai to attack the city with all their strength.  .We will fight until daylight. If we still can¡¯t take Tai¡¯an down, we will immediately withdraw our troops and go south by way of rebellion!¡±

    "Yes!" Upon seeing Yang Hu doing it,If you attack, the bandit army will be defeated."

    Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Wait a little longer!"

    After a short while, there was another report from the scout: Yang Hu's central army moved, and judging from the direction of its movement, it was about to escape from Taipingzhuang, and the siege troops were retreating and gathering.

    This time even the two guerrilla generals in command of the cavalry were anxious. They looked at Yang Ling eagerly, Yang Ling smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer."

    Adni's plan is good, but the improvised troops from all walks of life have one of the biggest weaknesses: they don't want to be under the leadership, and the integration is not good.  Although Yang Ling had expected it a long time ago, he had already ordered several generals to be selected from the cavalry teams sent by various ministries to serve as the coaches. It was hard to predict whether this kind of temporary integration would fail if it encountered a crazy counterattack by the bandits.  He dared not take the risk.

    ?He can issue a death order and order all the reinforcements to behead their generals before they arrive within the time limit, but he cannot unreasonably stipulate that any reinforcements that fail will be beheaded.  In the first battle, you have to fight by yourself. If you fight beautifully and neatly, if you beat the mountain tigers into dogs in the water, the reinforcements from all walks of life will immediately turn from rambunctious dogs into a pack of vicious wolves.

    The rebirth stems from morale. What the Ming army lacks is morale. Take a closer look, except for your cavalry subordinates who are cold and calm, the officers and soldiers in Dezhou and Jinan are more or less nervous.  The mentality can be imagined.  Prompting reinforcements from all walks of life to rush to attack can only turn into a bad battle.

    But what about the White Army?  What kind of army is the White Army?

    There was a sneer in the corner of Yang Ling's mouth, and he said lightly: "They can fight hard, but they can't fight tough. Ruthless and hard are two different things. Cruel and merciless desperadoes don't mean they don't spare their lives. When they feel desperate, they will run away. They can fight  Tough fighters cherish life without fear of death, never admit defeat lightly, have strict military discipline like iron, and the white-clothed army is a gang of bandits, can they do it?"

    Yang Ling put his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "Xin Guixi, the frontier army suddenly purges and transfers the army during the battle. If there are 100,000 people, how long will it take?"

    Xin Guixi was the commander of his 3,000 cavalry, a guerrilla in the frontier army. He was startled, thought for a moment, and then said cautiously: "The military order has been issued to the entire army. After the assembly and purge are completed, the camp will be set up   about an hour".

    Yang Ling smiled and said: "The frontier army is well-trained, and it will take an hour for a hundred thousand troops to assemble, let alone this group of thugs who don't know military discipline? They can't attack the city, and their momentum has weakened; suddenly they are trapped, and the morale of the army is unstable; they have to gather in a hurry  , the formation will be chaotic! The upper part wants to retreat, and the lower part wants to escape. At this time, stab it in the confidant, hehe!"

    The first ray of sunlight had already shone on the top of the mountain, and it suddenly lit up in front of my eyes. The mountains were green and the trees were green, which was very bright.  Immediately, the first ray of sunlight gushing out was covered by the clouds, and the sudden light dimmed again.

    Yang Ling said vibrately: "Xin Gueran, order your troops to charge. While his army is gathering and unable to launch an effective attack formation, quickly cut open their stomachs, get in and throw grenades around, blowing him upside down! If a battalion is in chaos, the whole battalion will be ruined."  If a hundred horses are frightened, ten thousand horses will be frightened, and by that time they will no longer be able to prevent an effective counterattack except to flee all the way."

    Xin Guixi cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Follow the general's order!" Then he brushed off his shirt and strode down the mountain.  A strange cloth bag was embroidered on his tripe armor, one grid at a time, with a row of short wooden handles inserted in the grid, which swayed slightly with the movements of his body, which seemed to have some weight.

    Holding a black cannon barrel in his arms, Peng Xiaochang gave Yang Ling a ghostly look. Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to him at all, he also tiptoed along.

    Yang Ling recruited generals from various armies in Dezhou and Jinan, and discussed with the two for a long time before they took the order to leave, Yang Ling smiled at Adni: "Come on, let's go up and see clearly.  ".

    "Look what are you looking at?"

    "Look at the 100,000 troops falling down like a mountain!"

    "Hey, don't worry, I always feel that the number of charge is a bit thin," Adney sighed softly.

    Yang Ling said disapprovingly: "What is there to worry about? War is not just about punching, kicking, weapons, money and food, but also about psychology and human nature. I also observed and tasted the combat style and quality of soldiers of thieves and bandits along the way. That's why I dare to be so sure  ".

    Yang Ling held up the warm and soft little hand of his own woman, and said triumphantly: "Besides, the words and deeds of the commander-in-chief are watched by the subordinates, so the closer to the battle, the more calm and calm you must be. Look, that mountain over there is the world  The first mountain is Taishan. A person who is a coach must have the psychological quality of not changing the face of Taishan collapse."

    "Boom~rumble boom~~!" There was a loud bang, and the ground under his feet trembled.  It just so happened that the thick clouds drifted away from the sky, and thousands of rays of sunshine came down, and the eyes were brightly lit, as if the sound of thunder shook the sky a crack.

    As soon as Yang Ling grasped Adni's arm, he was shocked and said, "What what is this sound?"
