This night, Li Jinglong was more frightened than Xia Xunshu.

Li Jinglong led the army to the city of Beiping, set up camp, surrounded a Beiping city to the point of impassability, built fortifications outside the nine mén, siege vehicles, ladders, trenches, artillery, stone throwers, all kinds of siege equipment emerged in endlessly, in terms of tactics, such as digging the ground, sprinkling leaflets, and burning the city wall with fire, hoping to burn the city wall down and crack, in short, the Ming army was familiar with all kinds of siege methods used in Beiping City.

However, under the deployment of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Beiping City had a deep ditch and high fortress, the city wall was thickened, and the artillery in the early Ming Dynasty was not sharp enough, and the 500,000 Ming army was helpless to defend the city for a while.

Of course, in fact, the most important factor is still people.

The defenders in the city of Beiping are limited, and the heart of death is very strong, and King Yan is a virtuous king in Beiping, which is very popular and highly respected. In particular, Daoyan and other Buddhist monks were very successful in brainwashing the religious brainwashing of the people, and women and children were sent to the city to defend themselves to help the Yan soldiers resist the enemy, which greatly made up for the lack of strength of the defenders.

Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan, went out to fight with his father, Zhu Gaochi, the third son Zhu Gaosui and his mother were guarding the city, Princess Yan was fully clothed, and he was guarding the city with arrows and stones.

He often went to the top of the city to direct the battle with his mother, and even picked up a boulder and threw it off the city. The princess and the prince can do this part, which is a great encouragement to the morale of the army and even the people.

Despite this, the Ming army not only has a large number of people, but also are professional soldiers, which is incomparable to the people who have not had military training in the head of Beiping City, but the Ming army of 500,000 people, from different factions, different regions, the generals have a bit of mountain thinking, and the soldiers also have some meaning of comparison, Li Jinglong, the commander of the three armies, is in a hurry to take care of one or the other in command, so they originally had several opportunities to break the city, but they were all missed by themselves.

For example, the Ming army that attacked Lizheng Mén in Beiping once broke through the city, and the Yu Yan army launched a ròu fight in the urn area within the city, if Li Jinglong could seize the fighter at this time and immediately send a new force to expand the results of the battle, Lizheng Mén would be broken. No matter how impregnable Beiping City is, as long as one of the mén households is breached, it will be easy for the whole city to fall.

However, what is amazing is that such a good fighter plane was actually let go by Li Jinglong in vain, I really don't know what this rebellious general who was standing on the top of the watchtower at the time and condescendingly saw everything clearly was thinking, he didn't send the reserves at the first time. This is a fact recorded in history, and we have no way of knowing why Li Jinglong reacted so slowly.

It's just that because the reserves were not sent in time, Princess Yan and Shizi led the reinforcements to Lizheng mén in time, the big fat man Zhu Gaoxu held a knife in one hand and a stick in the other, and sweated and commanded the death squad to counterattack, and the Ming army that broke Lizheng mén saw that the Yan army was desperate to counterattack, and the reinforcements were delayed...... They retreated.

At this time, Princess Yan led a group of women, children and children to throw bricks and stones from the head of the city to prevent the Ming army from continuing to increase troops. A perfect opportunity that should have changed the entire history floated by like a floating cloud in front of Li Jinglong, who didn't look like a pig at all, but was actually a real pig.

At the same time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was not idle, he asked his second son Zhu Gaoxu to lead a light cavalry to destroy the supply lines of the Ming army, burn the grain and grass of the Ming army, and led the main force to attack the Ming army from time to time.

On the night when Xia Qing and Saihazhi stayed at the house of Wu Enqi of the Batrun tribe, the prince of Yan led a large army, with Zhang Yiù and Zhu Neng as the left and right troops, and attacked the military camp of the governor Qu Neng at night.

This camp is the Chinese army camp of Li Jinglong, the commander of the three armies, the Ming army death squad dared to fight and kill, and went straight to the Chinese army camp, among which there was a monk with a bald head and big sleeves and a monk's robe, just like the demon King Kong, seemingly tall and thin, in the thousands of horses and thousands of troops, but like a tiger, Li Jinglong was shocked, for fear that he would make some mistakes in the chaos, and immediately ordered a retreat. The officers and soldiers of the rest of the battalions did not know why, and suddenly saw the battalion of the commander of the Chinese army retreat suddenly, and the three armies were shaken for a while, and they retreated one after another.

Li Jinglong was frightened by this, and resolutely refused to camp under the city of Beiping, this benevolent brother led the Chinese army to be stationed in Zhengcunba, which was more than ten miles away from Beiping, and commanded the offensive and defensive battles in Beiping by remote control.

In this case, Xia Split Xun and Sai Ha Zhi found Yan Bai's military camp

When they arrived at King Yan's camp, King Yan was instructing his subordinates to take the opportunity: "You go, tell Gao Xu, temporarily stop the attack on the supply of the Ming army, and let them transport the military rations and weapons over." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw that Xia Xun and Saihazhi had arrived in front of him, Zhu Di was surprised and delighted, hurriedly stepped forward, and hurriedly asked, "Wenxuan, what is the result of the trip outside the Guan?" ”

Xia Xun clasped his fists and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Highness, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

"What?"

Yan Wang Zhu Di was so surprised that his voice trembled: "Success?" Wen Xuan really persuaded the seventeenth brother? ”

Xia Xun said: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Ning has promised to give everything he has to help His Highness to calm the trouble, but at present, King Ning still has a catastrophe, and His Royal Highness needs to relieve him from the siege." ”

Xia Xun slightly signaled to King Yan to hurriedly retreat left and right, Xia Xun and Saihazhi secretly reported to him for a long time, Zhu Di laughed: "What is it, I will kill outside the Guan, save the seventeenth brother out, as long as I can get the jīng sharp iron cavalry of Taining, Duoyan, and Fuyu Sanwei, and then get the 80,000 jīng sharp division outside the pass, how can Jiujiang Xiaoer be afraid." ”

Xia Xun asked: "Fang Caichen listened to His Highness's orders, don't let the second prince continue to attack and harass the enemy's supplies, why is this?" ”

King Yan smiled and waved his hand and said: "This king will escape if the fish line is too tight, now the weather is not cold enough, and the southern army cannot realize that the food, grass and military clothes are a big problem, we have to keep them, and wait until the cold winter comes, and then pinch off all the supply lines, so that his 500,000 army has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't wait to say: "Don't worry about him here, how do you and your seventeenth brother make a living, and how can this king send troops to relieve him?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhu Di is missing.

Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, learned from the pain, transferred a few people, and specially encircled and suppressed the army of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, saving him from constantly pulling his hind legs on the side, but as soon as the army was sent out, Zhu Di suddenly disappeared without a trace. Two days later, news came that King Yan had been found near Yongping, and Yongping was once again in the hands of the imperial army.

Li Jinglong was taken aback, and hurriedly gathered the generals to hurriedly plan and discuss, afraid that King Yan would reuse his old tricks and recapture Yongping, so he divided his troops all the way to aid Yongping, and notified Yang Wen, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to be on full alert to prevent King Yan from sneaking up on Shanhaiguan, as a result, the Ming army of Shanhaiguan and Yongping waited for three days, and kept it for three days without sleep, yawning one by one, and did not see a soldier sent by King Yan.

The enemy that can't be found is the most terrible enemy, Li Jinglong didn't know where the Yan King was fighting The idea was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, while sending a probe horse to find out the news of the Yan King, and on the other hand, he transferred two guards and horses from the siege force to strengthen the defense of Zhengcunba where he was located, at this time, the army of the Yan King had bypassed Songting Pass and was about to arrive at Liujiakou.

Liujiakou, the general flag officer Liu Kuigang sent a guard to Funing County for him, Funing County is in the Qinhuangdao area, his home is now located there, the emperor brought a letter, saying that his son was seriously ill, and the doctor asked Yào for more than half a month, and he was not very good, Liu Kui was worried, so he took some silver money and made a personal soldier go home to see.

After sending away the soldiers, Liu Kui returned to his residence sullenly, and saw that the old family in the town outside the pass was waiting there, Liu Kui said impatiently: "Isn't the monthly case already given to you, what are you going to do?" ”

The old steward nodded and smiled, leaned in front of him, and said very mysteriously: "Master, that little land," here again, I want to see you. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Kui was stunned, slightly surprised, although Sha Ning always has the opportunity to come over a few times a year, but it is the first time that the interval is so short, he doesn't know how Sha Ning came so often this time, he wants to ask, but this old family only knows that he is in the golden house, and the extremely beautiful little lady is not his wife, and he doesn't know anything else, and he can't ask if he wants to.

Liu Kui thought for a moment before saying, "You go back and wait for Miss Hao first, and I'll arrange the affairs of the close." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The old steward walked away with a smile, he usually guarded the empty dàngdàng house, and there was nothing to fish, so he often rented out the house and used it as an inn for passing guests, but every time this unknown young lady lived here, the lord was much more generous, and the young lady's reward was also very generous.

Liu Kui's father was originally just a slave captured by the Duoyan tribe, Liu Kui's status is not high, it can be said that thanks to Shaning, he has today, he has a family and a business and is an official, knowing that Shaning is coming, how dare Liu Kui be lazy, and hurriedly called Wang Yanxi, the deputy chief banner, to check the defense and represent him. There is no impermeable wall in the world, Vice President Wang vaguely knew that Lord Zongqi had set up a house in the town and raised an outer room, and when he heard that he was going to live in the town for two days, Wang Yan smiled and agreed to come down.

Liu Kui changed into civilian clothes, and did not bring guards, so he hurried to the town along the path that he was accustomed to walking in the mountains."
