Tie Xuan's deceptive plan completely angered King Yan.

Under the city of Jinan, the cannon mouth of the black hole hole was opened, and the Yan soldiers loaded the gunpowder soil and iron balls into the cannon in turn, and with a loud bang, Jinan City suffered the baptism of the first wave of artillery.

The earth shook the mountains, and the sound shook the sky. Standing 100 meters away, you can still feel the heat wave set off by the moment the cannon is fired.

Such is the power of firearms.

Under the city of Zhending, outside the city of Beiping, the Yan army and the southern army used artillery on a large scale. Half of the roaring cannons outside Jinan were gifts from the Southern Army, including gunpowder and iron balls, and most of them were moved from the warehouses in Texas.

If Dao Yan is here, there is a chance that eight or nine times out of ten will fold his hands and give Li Jinglong a good person card.

Send people and send guns and food, be generous and selfless, don't want a copper plate, is there anyone better than Cao Guogong?

The cannon roared, and there were completely two moods inside and outside the city.

The defenders of Jinan City hid in the fortifications, covered their ears, and scolded Yan Jun one after another for not being a thing, and giving birth to a son without XX.

The frustration of the Yan army for many days was vented, and if it were not for the fear of the danger of exploding, the sound of artillery would have become more intensive, and the iron balls flying on the city wall would have at least doubled.

Gradually, the defenders at the head of the city could not hold on.

Dizziness and tinnitus, the smell of blood in the air, fear arises, and morale plummets.

The two armies fought against each other, going head-to-head, and life and death were just moments. The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the current situation is that the Yan army does not give the defenders a chance to meet at all.

Chop each other? Not interested. It's fun to smash it directly with an iron ball.

Can't beat Jinan? Then knock it down!

With a whistling sound, an iron ball crossed the city and smashed down a fortification, burying all the defenders hiding inside under wood and masonry. The fire ignited instantly, with a burnt smell that was disgusting.

The nearest defender looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and kept retreating in horror, tripping over the broken wood.

Another iron ball fell, blood splattered. There was not even a scream, and the soldiers were crushed to pieces.

In between the artillery bombardments of the Yan army, Tie Xuan personally walked up to the city, and a team of soldiers followed him, holding a few wooden cards for each of them, risking being hit by iron balls and flying arrows, and hanging the wooden cards on the city wall in turn.

Most of the soldiers were illiterate, and what was written on the wooden plaque could only be guessed.

After the wooden sign was hoisted, Tie Hyun did not listen to the dissuasion of his subordinates to return to the city, and insisted on staying on the top of the city. Looking down at the Yan army outside the city, he wanted to see if King Yan dared to continue firing!

Yan Jun noticed the abnormality at the head of the city, saw the big wooden sign hung by the defenders, sensed that something was wrong, and immediately flew to report to King Yan.

Looking at the wooden cards with a complicated expression, Meng sighed, sure enough, the time to come is still here.

Seeing that the soldiers still had to continue to fill the gunpowder, he hurriedly said: "Wait, don't fire the cannon yet, wait for the prince to order!" ”

Before he could do so, a team of iron horsemen rushed out of the camp, led by Zhu Di.

Seeing the wooden sign hanging at the head of the city, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned pale, his teeth creaked, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "Tie Xuan!" ”

Above the city, more wooden plaques with the words "Tai-Zugao Emperor Divine Tablet" were hung.

Under the city, the deafening sound of artillery was never heard again.

King Yan's face was gloomy, black as the bottom of a pot, and the expressions of the generals were also quite ugly. No one thought that Tie Hyun would play this hand.

What is this? Clever or cunning?

King Yan pressed the long knife in his hand, and he couldn't wait to rush into Jinan City immediately and unload Tie Xuan into eight pieces.

Hanging out the ranking of Emperor Hongwu, even if he knew that it was fake, King Yan did not dare to continue to fire. As soon as the cannon sounded, Fengtai, Emperor Zugao's posthumous training of the soldiers, would immediately become a joke!

Tie Xuan put one hand behind his back and twisted his beard with the other, looking down at the city with contempt in his expression.

Snort coldly, you have the ability, open the cannon!

Once these wooden plaques are damaged, the reason for King Yan to raise troops is no longer tenable. What vassal king Jing'an Qingjun is on the side, he is clearly a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone in the world can punish him!

There was fire above King Yan's head, but he didn't dare to really do it, so the Yan soldiers could only push the artillery back.

The defenders at the head of the city immediately rejoiced, looking at the Yan army under the city, taking advantage of the excitement to scold, the voice was varied, the content was rich and varied, and the scolding made the Yan army's forehead burst into blue tendons, and they all wanted to draw a knife to cut people.

Shen Xuan pressed the knife and rode on the horse, looking at Jinan City from afar, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly said, "Meng Tongzhi." ”

"Humble duty."

"This method seems familiar."

Looking over with black eyes, Meng couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and laughed dryly, "Humble duty...... Lizhong once used this method to keep the imperial army out of the tun. ”

"What do you think?"

“…… Be. ”

"Is there a way to crack it?"

"Back to the command, I have also thought about it, there is really no good way."

If the artillery is powerful, you can avoid the city wall and directly hit the door.

However, due to the constraints of the conditions, the firearms at this stage are really not flattering, and they are generally guided to fight the north and the east to the west. Aim at the wild boar on the ground, and fifty percent of them are likely to shoot down the birds in the sky.

How did the queue for gun-kill develop? The root cause is that the number of people is not enough.

Therefore, it is not feasible to gather artillery to bombard the city gates.

Continuing to siege the city can only be fought with human lives, and the battle will return to a protracted rhythm of see-sawing.

Meng's words failed to relax Shen Xuan's expression, he clenched the reins of the horse, and looked at Jinan from afar, his expression even more solemn.

Nearly four months of siege warfare almost exhausted the morale of the Yan army. Although there was no shortage of food and grass, the desperate siege of the city was quite unfavorable to the Yan army. The number of dead and wounded was too high, and it was likely that the soldiers would mutiny.

Besiege without attacking, trapping the defenders in the city? More unlikely.

Shandong is not Hebei, and King Yan only occupies one place in Dezhou, and the rest is in the hands of the imperial court. Not just to attack, but even to withdraw troops is a considerable risk.

The appearance of Tie Xuan proved to Zhu Di that there were straw bales like Li Jinglong in the imperial court, and there were also officials who were not afraid of death.

Ping An and Xu Huizu are both military generals, and it is not unusual for them to be able to fight with Zhu Di on a par. Tie Xuan is a civil official, but he was able to keep Jinan under Zhu Di's onslaught, which was equivalent to a punch in Zhu Di's body.

The bones were not broken, and the internal organs were not injured, but the face was trampled on the ground, and by the way, he stomped on his feet.

King Yan was unusually angry, but he couldn't think of a solution.

He raised the king's tent and summoned all the generals to discuss what to do now.

The artillery could not be fired, and the losses were too great to continue the siege, and the retreat was ...... If King Yan didn't say it, no one dared to mention it.

Zhang Yu was silent, Zhu Neng's big voice was also dumb, Tan Yuan has never been a talent for advice, and Zheng Heng, Chen Hui and others have no good way.

Shen Xuan didn't say anything, and Meng naturally stayed honest. What if King Yan remembers that he borrowed Tie Xuan's method and gets angry?

There was silence in the king's tent, and King Yan's mouth was bitter.

After more than 20 years of fighting, the iron cavalry under his command made the Northern Yuan frightened, and now he was blocked by a scholar who did not know about military affairs, how ridiculous!

Outside the tent, the soldiers patrolling the camp lit torches.

Inside the tent, King Yan's face became more and more ugly, and everyone's foreheads began to sweat.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the camp, and King Yan's anger finally broke out, and he slammed the table, "Zheng He!" ”

"The slave is here."

King Yan shouted: "Who dares to make noise in the camp? Military disposition! ”

"Obey."

Zheng He received the order, with a fierce face, and was caught by him, at least twenty military sticks.

After a while, the military stick was not beaten, and Zheng came back with a strange face. Before Zhu Di got angry, he bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, it's not the noise in the camp, it's really for a reason." ”

"What happened?"

"The slave maid heard that a small banner found the spies of the southern army, led several soldiers to chase under the city of Jinan, and was ...... with the defenders" paused, Zheng He seemed to have a toothache, "arguing." ”

This is a mild statement, in fact, the two sides are scolding each other.

Zhu Di's brows furrowed, and everyone also looked at each other. Meng's eyes rolled, who has the guts?

Under the city of Jinan, Ji Gang held a torch, scolding while paying attention to the movement behind him, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he immediately became energetic, "Brothers, success or failure is in this move, continue!" ”

Suddenly, the scolding war between the two sides further escalated.

No matter how bold the defenders are, they can only greet the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Yan army, and they dare not touch Zhu Di even a little bit. Greeting the ancestor of King Yan is greeting the ancestor of the emperor, who dares to do this if he doesn't want to die.

Ji Gang is different, he has no scruples at all. All of Tie Hyun's relatives were greeted by him, and Tie Hyun himself was not spared.

is also a scholar, Ji Gang naturally knows what a scholar cares about most. In his mouth, Tie Hyun kicked the widow's door at the age of three, dug the grave of the house at the age of five, wrote lewd lyrics and songs at the age of eight, and formed a super friendship relationship with the staff of the Fenghua place at the age of ten. Cheating in exams, corruption and bribery are too numerous to mention.

Ji Xiaoqi scolded heartily, the defenders at the head of the city were stunned, and the Yan soldiers who followed Ji Gang were also stunned in an instant.

Did you see it with your own eyes? Otherwise, how could Tie Fangbo describe the process of watching the little daughter-in-law next door take a bath at the age of six in such detail and vividly?

Ji Xiaoqi scolded too much, and didn't notice who gave him a horn, and when he looked at the horn, his voice suddenly amplified several times.

Tie Xuan's heroic deeds in his early years were also magnified several times, and they clearly reached everyone's ears without any discount.

After handing over the horn, Meng's task was completed, and he took a step back, worthy of being the future commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the ability to reverse black and white accusations can not catch up with ordinary people.

I sighed to myself.

Shangguan was scolded so bloodied, and the generals at the head of the city naturally couldn't sit idly by, and immediately took the lead in refuting it.

Struggles and refutations are futile.

The former scholar and the future Jinyi Guard are all commanders, and their eloquence is not comparable to ordinary people. With the horn, the sound is more stable than the opponent. In this war without gunpowder, there was no suspense about the outcome of the war, Ji Gang won by a big score, and the defenders tore their throats and ended in a fiasco.

Although the means are not in the stream, in the end there is a bad breath.

Ji Gang knelt under King Yan's horse, with a dumb voice, beating his chest, holding the horse's legs, and swearing that he would not hesitate to smear King Yan's liver and brain.

"Humble and talented, I am willing to go to the soup for the prince."

Zhu Di was in a good mood, and shook the horsewhip to let Ji Gang get up.

At first glance, he saw that Ji Gang was a villain. But villains have the usefulness of villains, and there are some things that only villains can do, and only villains can do well.

It's a good use, but it's a dog. Give a few pieces of meat and bones, and you can release them to bite at any time. If one day the dog is disobedient, there is no pity to kill it with a knife.

After returning to the camp, Ji Gang was promoted to 100 households, and he was still under Chen Hui's orders. The eyes of his colleagues looked at Ji Gang very differently, but he didn't expect that this inconspicuous little man would have this ability.

Chen Hui is not interested in people like Ji Gang, even if he has won the praise of the prince, he is just a flattering person. has been in the officialdom all the year round, he is a military general, and he is also extremely accurate in looking at people.

Ji Gang didn't care about this at all. His goal is far from being met by a hundred households. Even if the means are exhausted, even if they are scolded by thousands of people, it doesn't matter. The victor is the prince and the loser Kou, who switched to the Yan army in order to get ahead, he longs for power, he wants to stand taller!

King Yan let out a vicious breath, but Tie Xuan spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Ji Gang did grasp his pulse, what is more important to a scholar than fame?

Overnight, all kinds of "interesting stories" in the early years of Tie Fangbo were also spread in Jinan City. Such unfounded rumors are extremely absurd, but there is no way to explain them, and the more they are explained, the darker they become.

If there is a good official who is idle and does not participate in a book, Tie Xuan will not be able to argue, and the fake will become true.

Relying on his strong will, Tie Fangbo withstood the rumors and never fell.

The Yan army spent another half a month under the city of Jinan, and he never finished his work. Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong took the opportunity to send a small group of soldiers to constantly attack and harass, and they always succeeded once in five times, making the Yan army unable to defend themselves.

You can't keep fighting.

King Yan decided to withdraw the army, and Dao Yan sent the ladder in time, saying, "The army is tired, please return to Beiping for the time being." ”

This letter came too timely, and King Yan immediately summoned the generals to announce the decision to return to Beiping.

The generals clasped their fists at the same time and said, "The prince is wise!" ”

No one suddenly had a twitch in their head and was in the opposite tune at this point. Jinan can't be defeated only temporarily, save the strength to make a comeback, and will go down to this city!

The Yan army began to pull out the camp one after another, and the actions of more than 100,000 troops naturally could not hide from the defenders in the city.

"Yan Rebellion is going to retreat!"

Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong combined to pursue the Yan army on the way back, but they could not be annihilated in one fell swoop, nor could they let the enemy retreat too smoothly.

Seeing Tie Xuan gritting his teeth, looking as deep as the sea, Sheng Yong expressed his understanding, and anyone who was splashed with dirty water couldn't be calm.

"Uncle Fang, don't worry about Yan Rebellion's villain tricks. The official and his peers were convinced that Uncle Fang was an upright gentleman. ”

Tie Hyun was moved, "General ......"

Sheng Yong: "Besides, the six-year-old hair hasn't grown up, and peeking at the little daughter-in-law taking a bath is considered X!" ”

Tie Hyun: "......"

"Why did Uncle Fang vomit blood again? Yan Rebellion is really hateful! ”

Tie Hyun: "......"

In mid-August, the Yan army withdrew from Jinan and returned to Beiping via Dezhou.

Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong sent troops to pursue, defeated the Yan army's palace rear troops, and took advantage of the situation to attack Texas, but they were unsuccessful. The Yan army in the city repelled Sheng Yong's two attacks, and with the help of the people of Texas, stopped the imperial army outside the city. Sheng Yong's troops were insufficient, and he could not attack strongly, so he could only retreat.

Since then, Texas has completely fallen into the hands of King Yan.

Historically, Sheng Yong was supposed to recover Dezhou when the Yan army retreated, but he didn't want Meng Heng to intervene, King Yan took the opportunity to gather the hearts of the people, and Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu, guarded by Wu Jie, with Sheng Yong's troops at hand, it was an impossible task to recover Dezhou.

Even so, holding Jinan and forcing King Yan to withdraw his troops was also a great achievement.

Emperor Jianwen of Nanjing finally heard the good news, and his first reaction was not to order a reward, but to repeatedly confirm the authenticity of the battle report.

Zhu Yunwen was really scared by Li Jinglong, he was played once, and he resolutely couldn't be played a second time.

Fortunately, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong are not Li Jinglong, and the battle report and song are clearly written and realistic. He didn't hide anything in the matter of Texas, and Emperor Jianwen couldn't help frowning while being relieved, too sincere.

King Yan is very successful in gathering the hearts of the people, and he needs to write it once in the war report, and emphasize it again? It's really a big blockage.

On second thought, it's better to be honest than to be cheating.

The will of the reward was quickly drawn up, Sheng Yong was named the Marquis of Licheng, and the officers under his command also had their own rewards. Tie Xuan's reward has not been awarded for a long time. Emperor Jianwen originally wanted to promote Tie Xuan to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, but the holy decree was drafted, and the seals were stamped, but before they were issued, the military department and household science suddenly impeached Tie Xuan for having a life style problem and being suspected of corruption.

The duty of the official is to give a sarcastic admonition to the commander and picket the hundred officials.

To impeach an official, it is better to have tangible evidence, and it is not a big problem to have no evidence. The word "supposedly" was originally prepared to catch the wind and catch shadows.

"The minister heard that Tie Xuan misbehaved in his early years and harmed the township, and his words and deeds were outrageous......"

Recently, the imperial history of the DPRK and China is setting off a wave of impeachment of Li Jinglong. Although Huang Zicheng was white, he was still frequently summoned by Emperor Jianwen, and when he faced the saint, he knelt directly on the ground and cried: "Li Jinglong has two hearts, if you don't kill him, you can't thank Zongshe, I'm sorry for the soldiers who died in battle!" ”

Yushi Lian Zining went up many times and asked the emperor to issue an order to revoke the title of Duke of Cao Guo and immediately behead him.

To kill or not to kill? Emperor Jianwen was very hesitant.

With Li Jinglong's performance on the battlefield, it is enough to die a hundred times. But in the end, he is his cousin, the former Duke of Cao Guogong or the righteous son of Emperor Tai-Zugao. Killing him violates Emperor Jianwen's consistent benevolent image. Moreover, the order to recall him from the battlefield was to cover up the scandal of the coach's escape.

In the end, Emperor Jianwen dismissed the imperial history, and ignored Huang Zicheng's bitter crying. He even wondered if Huang Zicheng was so desperate for Li Jinglong's life to get away with it? After all, he was the one who recommended Li Jinglong in the first place, and he was the one who helped conceal the war report.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jianwen's gaze on Huang Zicheng became a little unkind. Because Huang Zicheng exonerated Li Jinglong with clever words, he would reward a defeated general! The prince and the prince, go to his prince and the prince!

Emperor Jianwen's anger soared, Huang Zicheng suddenly didn't dare to cry anymore, Qi Tai stepped forward to persuade a few words, and Huang Zicheng was not sent down on the spot. After being summoned by the emperor, he didn't dare to mention the matter of cutting off Li Jinglong's head.

Huang Zicheng did not mention it, which does not mean that the DPRK and China will be quiet.

The officials are all fierce people, and the motto of life is to insist that Qingshan will not send his mouth, and the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he becomes.

Emperor Jianwen rejected Lian Zining's dismissal, and the impeachment of Li Jinglong immediately flew into the Tongzheng Envoy like a snowflake, not only Emperor Jianwen had a headache, but also the Tongzheng Envoy's eyes were black. When it comes to talking about officials, there is basically no way to be good.

Li Jinglong knew that he was in trouble, and he was in great trouble. simply hid in the Guogong Mansion and didn't come out, learning Gao Wei to think about it behind closed doors.

After thinking about it, there were few visitors, and everyone thought that Cao Guogong was going to be unlucky, so naturally he would not take the initiative to come to the door.

Xu Zengshou, the governor of Zuodu, was an exception, and he came to Li Jinglong with good wine every once in a while. After getting drunk, Li Jinglong took Xu Zengshou's hand, tears flowing, "Tribulation sees the truth, and I can only understand it now!" ”

Xu Zengshou laughed twice, picked up the wine jug, and poured another glass for Li Jinglong, "What are you talking about, drink!" ”

Li Jinglong was drunk again, and after getting drunk, he scolded Huang Zicheng for not acting righteously, and the emperor listened to slander and disregarded family affection. A strange expression flashed on Xu Zengshou's face, perhaps, he didn't expect Li Jinglong's skin to be so thick.

Is it really necessary to win him over?

Li Jinglong's matter has not yet been resolved, and Yanguan is on the same page with Tie Xuan again.

Tie Xuan's defense of Jinan was a great achievement, but the impeachment was sparse, but Emperor Jianwen could not be rewarded as planned. He can imagine that with the order of the reward, the muzzle of the imperial history will no longer be aimed at Tie Xuan, but at himself on the throne.

No, he could only suppress Tie Xuan's promotion order, temporarily transfer him back to the court, and listen to the order at the military headquarters.

Satisfied with the impeachment of Tie Hyun, he high-fived another victory that defied the might. In addition to being happy, don't forget to praise the emperor, the emperor who can listen to the official words is a good emperor.

Emperor Jianwen was so angry that his liver hurt, and he still had to hold on to his smiling face, yes, Aiqing was right, I must continue to work hard.

King Yan, who returned to Beiping City, got the information, and he was also happy for a long time. After writing down a few things about the impeachment of Tie Xuan, it was decided to give a few people a generous reward as soon as they arrived in Nanjing, and immediately ordered them to go home to farm.

Such an "upright" official is suitable for Zhu Yunwen to work, Zhu Di resolutely refuses to use it, and he will let them go home and eat himself immediately if he is hired.

The Yanshan defender was newly promoted to a fellow intellectual, and the burden on Meng's shoulders was much easier. Take care of the work at hand and sleep until dawn. After tidying up and opening the door, Shen Xuan, who was dressed in a scarlet military attache uniform, happened to come over, looked at Meng, and bent the corners of his lips, "Meng Tongzhi slept well?" ”

"I've seen the conductor, Commander Xie cares, and it's very good." Meng Xing saluted, "Is the conductor resting well?" ”

The deep eyes are dyed with a smile, and they look more and more handsome.

"Meng Tongzhi is in good spirits, so if this is the case, it should be okay to go with me tomorrow."

Meng looked up, his expression puzzled. Just came back and are going on another expedition?

"Xuan once said that after returning to Beiping, he should be prepared with a generous gift and visit the house of Twelve Lang." The fair-skinned fingertips brushed Meng's cheeks, "Twelve Lang has not forgotten?" ”

Meng: "......"

If you accidentally forget, will it be humanely destroyed?
