After listening to Zuo Liangyu's words, Ni Yuanlu said with a smile: "General Zuo can't forget to ridicule his subordinates even if he is injured?" ”

Zuo Liangyu said: "Our generals have no status, how dare we laugh at you civil officials?" It's just because there is a little emotion in my heart and I don't say it, like that fish bone stuck in the roar. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "It's like a fish in the throat! ”

Zuo Liangyu said: "Yes, in this sense, you civil officials are knowledgeable, but what the last general said is also the truth, Lord Ni, don't you say?" ”

At this time, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong next to him, said: "General Zuo, don't talk nonsense, Lord Huang and Lord Ni are both civil officials, but they are also people with scheming. ”

Zuo Liangyu was recommended to Liaodong by Hou Sui when he was working under Wang Huazhen, and he was promoted to guerrilla in just a few years, although it was because he was attacking the enemy, but it was also inseparable from Wang Huazhen's other eyes, so he still maintained a certain respect for Wang Huazhen. Wang Huazhen was imprisoned because of the defeat of Guangning, but now the official has been reinstated to this Anmin, and now he is staying in this Yuezi Pass City with 20,000 reserves and their families, listening to Zuo Liangyu ridiculing the imperial history and supervising the army, afraid that he will suffer losses in the future, so he spoke out to persuade him.

Seeing that Wang Huazhen opened his mouth to persuade him, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly defended and said: "Forgive me, the last general has no intention of going against Lord Huang and Lord Ni. ”

It's better if he doesn't explain, and Wang Huazhen is not happy with this explanation, and said with a calm face: "There are only three civil officials here, you said that you didn't target them, are you talking about me?" ”

Zuo Liangyu became even more anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The last general has the grace of knowing the last general, and the last general will not dare to be disrespectful to the big commander no matter what, it is the last general who is clumsy and asks the big marshal to forgive!" Because the salute touched the wound, the voice of the speech was painful, and blood oozed from the wrapped shoulder. Huang Daozhou and Wang Huazhen hurriedly came over to help him up, Wang Huazhen said: "This official knows that you are straightforward and fast, and I don't blame you, but you have to change it if you are always like this." ”

Zuo Liangyu listened and agreed, and then Ni Yuanlu said: "Everyone pay attention to the enemy is about to attack. ”

A few people ran to the city to take a look, only to see about 10,000 Jurchens lined up in a thick formation more than a mile wide and slowly moved over, which was also a thousand-year-old unchanged formation with the chariot in front of the archers and then the cavalry. Behind the 10,000 people, there were two 10,000 phalanxes, and it seemed that the real women were going to attack in turn, everyone's hearts slowly sank, and the five thousand archers on the city wall were also frightened at this time.

It's no wonder that seeing that 7,000 people were surrounded, who knew that they were rescued, which made Dai Shan furious, and ordered 30,000 people to attack in turn to attack this round-shaped strange city, and it would be easy to separate Ningyuan City and Ningyuan Pass when the time came.

Ningyuan Pass and Ningyuan City each have 10,000 defenders who can't move, 5,000 mountain infantry battalions have entered Ningyuan City, and now the city gate is blocked and can't get out, 5,000 Marine Battalions and 20,000 City Repair Reserves took ships to attack Lushun in southern Liaoning, and the remaining 20,000 City Repair Reserves are lying on the head of the Yuezi Pass City Wall, and it would be good if they don't run away if they don't have fighting spirit, and the reason for not running away is probably because their wives and children have no place to run here, and several seem to be almost crying, and it is impossible to expect them to meet the enemy. The remaining 10,000 cavalry lost 4,000, the 5,000 cart battalion lost a small amount of men, but half of the carts were lost, the 800 hammer soldiers lost more than 300, plus the wounded were basically more than half of the losses, and they were ineffective for a while.

In terms of generals, Zuo Liangyu was stabbed in the shoulder and couldn't dance the knife, Cao Wenzhao also suffered a few knife wounds on his body a few times in and out, Zu Dabi was even more out of strength and fell asleep on the side, and Lu Xiangsheng, who was left with a civilian official and a military general, was estimated to be difficult to support alone. Huang Daozhou thought for a while and said: "Retreat the wounded, order the archers in the city not to retreat lightly, the enemy can dig down the city and retreat one section at a time, see how much the enemy can dig, and it will not be completely defeated at once, which is also the benefit of Yuezi Guancheng." ”

Ni Yuanlu said at this time: "Don't panic, everyone, wait for the lower officials to block it, and if you can't stop it, it's not too late to retreat." ”

Seeing that Ni Yuanlu was very confident, Huang Daozhou didn't say anything, Wang Huazhen, Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything, but there was obviously disbelief on their faces, Zuo Liangyu's mouth itched again at this time, he looked at Ni Yuanlu and said: "Lord Ni, you are the Imperial History Supervisor, and the only two hundred people around you also guard ten city heads, and I am already very impressed that I can persist until now without wetting my pants." The last talk thinks that Lord Ni's spirit is very good, but it is best to have a sense of participation, it is the business of our generals to take risks alone, there are not many all-rounders like Lu Jianjun after all, and besides, if you have three long and two short, we are not good to explain to the emperor, right? ”

Ni Yuanlu laughed and said, "Thank you General Zuo for your concern, you guys just watch it from the side." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and the Jinyi Wei officer next to him immediately handed him a red flag, which was not over, several Jinyi Wei officers dragged out two large iron boxes, opened a box and took out a few gongs. Ni Yuanlu raised the red flag, and the Jinyi guard officer next to him immediately struck the gong loudly, as soon as he heard the gong sounded here, the Jinyi guard officers on both sides of the adjacent city wall also struck it, and the ten city wall heads struck the gong together It was also spectacular, not only the people in the city were strange, but even the Jurchens under the city were also puzzled, this is a red flag and a gong, is it going to sing?

Ni Yuanlu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The emperor sent officials to kill the enemy, not to watch the battle, everyone squatted down and covered their ears." ”

Cao Wenzhao asked excitedly, "Lord Ni, is this a magic weapon?" The last general has listened to the commentary but has never seen it, and today has opened the eyes of the last general. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Don't worry, the enemy hasn't rushed to the city yet, wait." ”

The Jurchens under the city began to feel very strange when they saw the sound of gongs and red flags in the city, could it be that the Ming army really wanted to sing for everyone to show before the war? However, only the gong sounded, there was no other movement, it is estimated that it is not a big show, at most it is a monkey play, after a while, there was no movement, I knew that I was being played by a monkey, and in a rage, 10,000 people continued to rush up, pounced on the city, screamed, dropped the knife, picked up the hoe, and began to cut the corner of the wall, at this time, Ni Yuanlu put down the red flag, and saw that twenty Jinyi guard officers put down the gong, each took out a rope iron lump from the iron box, lit it with fire, and threw it down to the city, Zuo Liangyu wondered in his heart: "This iron lump with lines on the outside is a magic weapon?" ”

There were a total of 200 people on the top of the ten city walls, and each person had one grenade, which was 200, and the power of the two hundred grenades exploded together was quite large. I only heard a loud bang in a row, like a series of thunderstorms before the rainstorm shook people's ear drums, accompanied by a loud sound of shrapnel flying sideways, from different angles and different directions whirling into all the objects that could be pierced, the people digging the corners of the city wall and the archers looking for an opportunity to throw upwards suddenly all fell, and the face, body, hands and feet were all pierced with blood holes, at the same time, the ground was also filled with thick smoke and choking gunpowder smell, making the explosion full of mystery and fear.

The people at the center of the explosion were blown to pieces on the spot, their clothes and broken arms flew around, and those who were lucky enough not to die were running around in the smoke. The cavalry behind was also stunned, and some of the horses with poor endurance stood up neighing, threw the cavalry on their backs to the ground, and then turned around and ran. At this time, the second wave of blows followed, and two hundred grenades were thrown out, this time they were thrown forward with force into the Jurchen cavalry array, and there was a series of loud noises accompanied by thick smoke, and the screams of people before they died and the mournful screams of horses before they fell to the ground came and went.

At this time, there was a Jurchen archer who was blown off his leg and fell unconscious under the city, and was awakened by the second round of explosions, and when he saw that his bow and arrow were still there, he lay on the ground and endured the pain, bent his bow and arrows, and looked at the city wall with hatred. Looking down from the top down, there is a white expanse everywhere, and the smoke after the explosion of gunpowder is everywhere, and it is impossible to see anything clearly, but the small soldiers lying below can see it through the mist, aiming at Ni Yuanlu's head is an arrow, watching this arrow pierce into the head, the Jurchen archers under the city finally deflated and died crookedly.

Ni Yuanlu was carefully observing the battle situation, and suddenly saw a sharp arrow shooting up from under the city, because it came suddenly, he didn't even have the consciousness to dodge, and the moment the sharp arrow hit his head, he thought: "Am I just dead?" Then he fell and lost consciousness at the same time.
