Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 306 Burning Ningdu?
In the Xu Mansion, Yang Dianfeng took several gulps of water, and the clothes on his body were already a little tattered.
Xu Xiang remembered that this dress was purchased for Yang Dianfeng before he left Linzi.
Now that so much time has passed, he still has these clothes, although Xu Xiang has no cleanliness habits, but this masculinity is still a bit heavy.
Xing Yang Dianfeng also noticed Xu Xiang's action of covering his nose, did not drink any more water, and said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, young master." In the past few days, I have been in the Ming family's military camp, and my body will inevitably be stained with some sweat smell. ”
"I'm going to change my clothes first!" He said.
"Well, go ahead." Xu Xiang was not in a hurry, Yang Dianfeng went to the barracks to find out whether Mingjing was in the barracks, and naturally came back to find himself after getting the results.
Xu Xiang raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson Mingling, who was half-lying in the branches, and the eldest grandson Mingling pinched the leaves he picked into a ball and threw them down.
"He didn't shower." The eldest grandson Mingling pointed at Yang Dianfeng and said.
Yang Dianfeng was stunned for a moment, pinched his clean clothes, and didn't smell anything, his face was dazed and puzzled.
It didn't take long for Yang Dianfeng to change into gray clothes and walk out.
"Young master, bring your brothers to ...... these days"
"What's wrong? Mingling? As soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted by Xu Xiang.
"How? Is Ming Jing in the barracks? Xu Xiang regained his serious expression and asked.
"The Ming clan has more than 60,000 troops in Ningdu Ming. Among them, 10,000 were the border troops transferred by Wu Kai from Zitong Pass, and the remaining 50,000 were the elite soldiers of the Ming clan who were originally stationed outside Ningdu City. There are three armies and seven battalions, the three armies are the Chengfeng Army, the Wind Fighting Army, and the Wind Breaking Army. ”
The Wind Riding Army is now besieging the Imperial Palace, and it is being surrounded by the family, if you don't have some ability, you will definitely not be able to get in, and you will definitely not be able to find out the situation.
"Kukukuku....." Xu Xiang couldn't help but let himself laugh out loud.
"Young Master, if that's the case, then I won't say it." Yang Dianfeng saw Xu Xiang's cold appearance, and deliberately interrupted him just now, just to laugh at the smell on his body.
"Don't, don't! Lao Yang, I don't laugh anymore. Xu Xiang hurriedly stopped Yang Dianfeng, who was about to leave.
"Except for the fact that the Wind Riding Army could not find out the situation, I found that the commanders of the other battalions did not seem to be in the camp. The soldiers who had asked the Ming clan from the side, and these chief generals had not appeared in public for a long time. ”
Will the Lord not be in the camp? What is this special SAO operation?
It's wartime! Wartime Lord is not in the camp? And more than one, all the other armies and battalions are the same?
"Will Ming Jing be in the Wind Riding Army?" Xu Xiang frowned and thought.
"In addition, I found a problem." Yang Dianfeng said again.
"What's the problem?" Xu Xiang hurriedly asked, he needed more clues.
"yes."
"Then what power does the Ming clan have in secret?"
"This ...... If it was so easy to be investigated by his subordinates, then there would be no need for the Ming clan to hide, right? ”
What the hell is Ming Jing doing?
If you want to say who can dispatch the commanders of all armies and battalions, in addition to Ming Heng, it is estimated that only Ming Jing is available, right?
"Wait, you're talking about Ming's strength on the surface, right?" Xu Xiang suddenly seemed to have captured something, but he scattered again.
"Isn't it that the news that His Majesty's army has hit Tongxin City has reached Ningdu, so those doglegs of the City Patrol Division began to prepare for defending the city, and transported all those city-guarding equipment! The oil in those oil drums seemed to be full of oil drums, except for the Zhenchuan Gate, the other city gates were full of oil drums. ”
"Oil drums?" Xu Xiang was stunned, why are you piling up so many oil drums?
According to common sense, if it is to defend the city, it is natural to use fire oil.
"Hmm...... By the way, didn't the Ming clan still control the City Patrol Division? And I remember that the Ningdu Xiao clan also surrendered to the Ming clan, right? What have they been doing lately? ”
"Xiao Shi, I only sent one person to keep an eye on it, and there is nothing in return for the time being. Everything is normal in the City Patrol Division, but I feel that they are a little too nervous, this battle has not started yet, and even if it does, it has nothing to do with them! Yang Dianfeng said.
"Too nervous? How did you know that the people at the City Patrol Division were nervous? ”
But now, so much oil is being transported up, which is obviously a bit illogical.
This kind of thing is a strategic reserve material, and the City Patrol Division does not have such a great authority to mobilize it, it must be ordered by the Ming royal family to be transferred.
What are they going to do? Xu Xiang suddenly had an ominous premonition.
This oil is the oil of later generations, extremely scarce, if the enemy along the ladder to attack the city wall, along the city wall to pour the oil down, after ignition, the siege soldiers on the ladder will be burned to the bones, is an extremely important means of defending the city.
Ningdu, as the national capital of Great Xia, naturally has abundant equipment to defend the city, and a lot of fire oil will be prepared.
Under normal circumstances, at the gate of a city, as long as two barrels of fire oil, can ensure that the fire burns for seven or eight hours, and if the attack is delayed for seven or eight hours, the city will naturally be defended.
The eldest grandson Mingling came back and forth for less than an hour, and he learned about the current situation of the major city gates in Ningdu.
Some of those oil drums were hot oil, but some were sulfur, all kinds of things that ignited fires.
Except for the Zhenchuan Gate, everything is normal, and all the rest of the gates are piled with these barrels.
"Mingling! You go and confirm one thing for me! Xu Xiang raised his head and said to Mingling, the eldest grandson on the tree.
"Crazy! Mingjing, you madman! Xu Xiang brushed away the cups and teapots on the table, and the porcelain pots fell to the ground and shattered into tens of millions of pieces.
His muscles were exposed, and he was almost crazy.
"Burn Ningdu City? How can it be? "Yang Dianfeng didn't believe it at all, how could Ning Du be so big, how could it be burned down?
"When these thirteen gates were built at that time, why did they choose such a location, do you know?"
"Isn't it that these gates are connected to the main roads of some other cities, which is much more labor-saving and convenient!"
As long as an order is given, all the barrels will be broken, and the entire Ningdu will fall into a sea of fire!
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Seeing Xu Xiang so angry, Yang Dianfeng asked puzzled.
"Mingjing, this madman, wants to burn Ningdu City!"
Yang Dianfeng and eldest grandson Mingling both showed a strong look of fear in their eyes.
"It's ....... It's unlikely, right? Yang Dianfeng said a little at a loss, if Xu Xiang's guess is true, then this Ming Jing is a complete madman!
"How could it be, otherwise these oil drums would really help them defend the city? Do you need so much brimstone and fire to defend the city? ”
"That's just one of them, and the other is the moat! Ningjiang! You look at the trend of Ningjiang, going from east to west, wrapping the entire Ningdu in it. Once the opening between the Ningjiang River and the moat outside the Zhenchuan City Gate is blocked, then the Ningjiang River will be cut off from the Yellow River. ”
"When the time comes, all the fire oil will be poured into Ningjiang, and the things that cause the fire will be thrown, and the entire Ningdu wrapped in Ningjiang will fall into the sea of fire."
"Moreover, some of the main streets, all the places related to the water of the Ningjiang River, are also places where the Ming clan is heavily guarded. If I'm not mistaken, he has stored a lot of ignition in these places. Once a fire breaks out in Ningjiang, it will quickly spread throughout the city! ”
"Can the City Patrol Officers agree?"
"I don't know. The people of the City Patrol Division are not stupid, and some people should be aware of it, but they can't do anything about it. ”
At this time, three things should be clarified.
"If Ming Jing wants to burn Ningdu, there are indeed enough things, but who will light this fire? And to ask twelve gates to do this at the same time, the people of the city patrol division are not stupid, right? Will none of them think of this? The eldest grandson Mingling said guessingly.
"He's going to sacrifice everyone in the City Patrol Division." Xu Xiang said lightly.
Once the fire broke out, the fire was so big that the people of the City Patrol Division would not be able to escape at all, and Ming Jing had no intention of letting the people of the City Patrol Division leave.
The last thing is that Mingjing should have been laying out this matter for a long time. From the time Ming Heng was assassinated, he disappeared with Yue Linglong, and then began to plan this matter.
At that time, the spies from Zhongning City to Ningdu were still tightly sealed by the Great Xia Dragon Bird, so the Ming clan definitely didn't know the news from Xuanyuan Ding's side.
Therefore, this decision of his was made before knowing that Xuanyuan was going to attack Ningdu!
First of all, when Ming Jing plans to set the fire, this matter is very important, and only when the time is determined, will there be a way to stop it. The elite soldiers of the Ming clan would definitely not stay in the city, so he deliberately kept the Zhenchuan Gate, first, to cut off the Ningjiang River from the Yellow River, and secondly, to transfer his own people. As long as it is found that Mingjing has a change in the transfer of troops, you can know the time of arson. However, when it was really time for Ming Jing to transfer troops, it would be too late to find another opportunity to sabotage his plan.
Secondly, the Chengfeng Army is the strongest combat force under the Ming clan, and now it is besieging the palace, but it is counter-surrounded by the family, these 10,000 people, Ming Jing will never give up. Then if he wants to withdraw these 10,000 soldiers, he must reach an agreement with Lin Chong, otherwise he will not be able to withdraw.
Therefore, it is also very important to break his agreement with Mingjing.
In other words, no matter whether Xuanyuan will attack Ningdu or not, he plans to burn Ningdu!
The key to all this, Ming Jing has this idea, that is, starting with the assassination of Ming Heng.
Yue Linglong, what kind of secret is hidden in her body?
