Chapter 98 Negotiations Failed

As soon as the day dawned, Qiao Dudu took a small boat to the Han army camp, and he began to be afraid when he saw the boundless men and horses of the Han army yesterday. He also kept scolding these cheap bones of the Zuo family army in his heart, and he bought his life for the Han army in a blink of an eye, otherwise the Han army would never be able to shake Yancheng in a short time.

More than 60,000 people are spread on three city walls, and there is no end to the crowd. It's all morale-high troops, which is even more frightening.

The army lord has a big tent, and all the army commanders and commanders are also waiting for Qiao Dacai like yesterday.

Qiao Dudu shook his head to dispel the dark circles under his eyes that he hadn't slept all night, he scolded the Han army all night last night. It was dark and dark, and the Han army even fired at the city wall. After a shot, he ran away, and after a while, he came to attack the city and hit the artillery. In the morning, the moat was almost filled, which frightened the Governor.

Glancing at the big tent, Qiao Dudu smiled bitterly and sighed and walked in, but he didn't expect that he would come uninvited again for a day.

Chen Xiong couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Qiao Dacai: "Haha, isn't this Qiao Dudu?" I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to sit down and drink two glasses and stay for three days. ”

"I've seen King Annam." Qiao Dudu immediately found a place to sit down after seeing the ceremony, the small stool and small table are not of grade, but it is better than standing stupidly.

"I'm happy today, come and warm up with food and drink." The progress of the siege was unexpected, and Chen Xiong was also satisfied.

When the wine and meat are served, the charcoal under the meat basin is red and hot, and the steaming fragrance makes people's appetite move.

"You're welcome, drink and eat first."

Everyone moved, and even Qiao Dudu reluctantly put down his chopsticks, after all, these foods were too rude and had no sense of refinement.

"You've done it." It is rare for everyone to drink, and Chen Xiong is very happy.

", lord."

"Good job." Qiao Dudu was also brought up by the atmosphere and began to eat and drink.

Knock knock knock ~ The war drums in the distance came, and Qiao Dacai felt a headache when he heard this sound. All the strategies in my mind seem to be useless in this war. Although there is a lot of artillery in the city, it should not be moved lightly, after all, the more the shells and gunpowder are fought, the less they are fought.

Chen Xiong drank a few glasses and began to stop. Everyone was almost full, but the black ball was still eating, and it didn't look like he was full at all.

Seeing that it was almost there, Qiao Dudu immediately raised his hand and said: "King Annan, I, Yancheng, am willing to offer three million taels of silver to help the Han army return south, and forget that King Annan no longer blames peace for preciousness." Of course, medicinal herbs, food and other materials are also negotiable. ”

This ~ three million taels! Wu Jiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and Daming's annual finance and taxes were less than 10 million taels.

Three million taels! Chen Xiong smiled faintly, he didn't think that silver was of any use, because he was not short of food, and he would make it and grab it directly.

"So be it! Yancheng can hand over 10 million taels of sponsorship fees, as well as a year's salt for one million people, and 5,000 medicinal materials for various craftsmen. "This is Chen Xiong's minimum condition, anyway, if you want to farm recently, you can use Yancheng to train the crime cleansing army who has nothing to do.

Qiao Dudu's eyes almost fell out, which was about to hand over more than fifteen million taels. Their Qiao family has been buying a house for more than 100 years, and they can't get so much silver.

"Annan Wang Yancheng is the industry of the Huaiyan Chamber of Commerce, and each family is extremely widely distributed, so it is impossible to come up with so many silver taels. Do you think five million taels is okay? This is already the limit! "Qiao Dudu is very aggrieved, and he knew that he would not accept the position of this bullshit governor. The prefect of Huai'an Min did not say that the Han army was tired and did not have much combat effectiveness.

Chen Xiong shook his head and nodded: "Okay!" In that case, please go back! Tomorrow, our pro-army will personally handle it. ”

"King Annan, why bother us, he really can't get this money! If you give it a few days, I will send for the heads of the houses to consult. "Qiao Dudu really wants to break the jar and break it up, and then go back to his hometown to live his chic life.

Chen Xiong sneered: "Needless to say, hundreds of thousands of Han troops are still rushing back south. ”

The second negotiation also failed, which Chen Xiong is simply unreasonable. Qiao Dudu's face darkened with anger: "In this case, 60,000 horses in Yancheng are waiting for the Han army. King Annam resigned. ”

Qiao Dudu left when he saw the salute, and his steps were still chic. He vowed that the Han army must suffer heavy losses, and it depends on whether the Han army can hold on.

The two armies fought without beheading, and the people did not pay attention to Qiao Dudu and left.

"My lord, will it start tomorrow? Isn't it supposed to be a cloth tomorrow? Wu Jiu asked puzzled, didn't he say that he would plant seedlings tomorrow and start farming the day after tomorrow? As soon as the Han army came, almost everyone was opening up the land. The Huaihai Sea is densely networked, the terrain is flat, and there are large areas of land suitable for planting.

Chen Xiongle smiled: "Haha, although I said that the main attack will be tomorrow, but tonight the Han army will enter the city." ”

Wu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. "Yes, the soldiers are not tired of deceit."

"By the way, send someone to collect the stone and wood! I'm useful after planting. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Wu Jiuxin was overjoyed, and the stone represented the terrifying heavy cavalry.

After the Huaihai was attacked, Chen Xiong was also afraid of being attacked on the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is very wide, if hundreds of thousands of troops attack and kill on both sides of the strait, it will be really difficult to take care of at that time! Therefore, it is necessary to expand the army.

The Cleansing Army still took turns to fight, and the moat became wider and wider, but the Cleansing Army did not directly attack the city. Today it was the same as yesterday, but the archers on the carts were replaced by firecrackers. The musketeers of the two armies never stopped bombarding each other, and the artillery of the Han Fifth and Han Sixth armies also roared from time to time. The artillery was pulled away by the wooden cow after a single shot, and it was not hit by the Hongyi cannon in Yancheng. The artillery hit rate in this era is basically the same as buying a lottery ticket.

After dinner, the last rays of light began to fade.

Boom Boom Boom~~ The artillery of the Han army blasted towards Yancheng on three sides, and the stone bricks at the head of the city were also broken piece by piece.

Boom~Boom~~ The city shook up.

"Damn it, shoot me and kill them." Qiao Dudu yelled and cursed, and he had not been able to sleep well until now.

"It's the Governor." The herald immediately ran to give the order.

Boom Boom~~ The artillery of Yancheng also began to bombard, and the violent sound of the general's cannon was even more harsh, and the Ming army cheered.

"Damn it, fuck them."

"Yes, these bastards, they work day and night, and they don't give people sleep."

The Han military camp is far away from Yancheng, and the noise is relatively small, and the Han army who is besieging the city can take turns to rest.

"Damn, pass the order, there's no need not to bother me." Qiao Dudu, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but fall asleep again.

The guns and cannons on the three walls continued, but the side of the Yunyan River was very quiet. However, the shelling from time to time also made the Ming army here extremely irritable.

"The damn it's endless!"

"If you want me to say just kill and fight with the Han army, you will live and die."

Soldier B laughed: "Haha, you're so good that you'll rush first." ”

"Hmph, keep an eye on the river, don't be attacked by the Han army."

Soldier A also smiled: "The Han army has no boat, how dare they go into the water on such a cold day." ”

"Even if the Han army dares to come, it will be sent to death, and our artillery guns are not vegetarians."

The Ming army in Yancheng was irritable, and the salt people in Yancheng were also extremely worried.

"Hey! It's the second night! ”

"Who said no, if it goes on like this, these Laipi soldiers don't know how many days they can last!"

"Don't talk about them, it's hard to sleep tonight!"

Even if the besieged city is strong and well-fed, the longer it lasts, the lower the morale will be.

Chen Xiong said goodbye to his two little wives and set off with the grass and wood soldiers. After coming to the river, he replenished the energy of the grass and wood soldiers, and it was very energy-consuming to go down the river for a while.
