Chapter 21: Under the Castle of Jiangyin (First Update)

"Eat meat, kill tartars!"

That inexplicable pathos echoed in the camp, only to make the thousands of soldiers of the forward battalion nearby all look at the group of soldiers of the backbone battalion who were holding the meat and biting wildly there.

In the Zheng family's army, the "Houjian Battalion" composed of northerners has always been raised by the queen, and the food and salary have always been the worst. They have always been despised by the Zheng family's army battalions, but looking at these soldiers of the Houjian battalion with sad expressions, their expressions became complicated.

Fifteen hundred!

Take Jiangyin City in two days!

How is this possible?

These 15,000 people are not going to be sent to death!

At this time, although the camp was full of a kind of admiration and pathos, the scene was hot, and for the more than 1,500 brothers in the Houjin camp, they had never eaten a meal of meat except when they had sworn to leave Fujian.

Now, they were eating meat and drinking wine, and Zhu Mingzhong walked up to them and toasted them next to the table with the wine cup, and it was not until after the last table of toasts, when this pathetic atmosphere reached its peak, that he looked at these people and said.

"Brothers, now I will lead 100 brothers to smash this wall down, and I don't know if those brothers are willing to go with my brothers!"

Staring at these red-faced soldiers, when he said this, Zhu Mingzhong's heart beat a drum, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether anyone stands up!

From instilling in them the idea of not being satisfied with the status quo last night, to now stimulating them with wine and meat, if no one takes the initiative to stand up, they will be finished......

"Damn, people die and birds face up, and they don't die for thousands of years......"

Yu Xiaobao, who had already eaten and drunk, wiped the oil on his hands, scolded first, and then shouted loudly.

"Thank you for the wine and meat, the villain is willing to go!"

When someone started the way, someone naturally shouted.

"The villain is willing to go!"

Then people kept standing up, they may be drunk, but they know very well what this so-called "smashing" is, it is a death squad that lives and dies!

"Thank you, thank you, brother!"

Zhu Mingzhong clenched his fists and bowed over the top, from the moment the first person stood up, he knew that this was done!

When the noon sun was scorching the heavens and the earth, Wang Yuan on the head of the city yawned from time to time, he was holding a tasseled gun, and looked at the outside of the city weakly, the camp outside the city had been set up for eight days, and in these eight days, the prefect and the garrison had made a desperate decision to hold on. They even ordered the gates to be blocked with bricks and stones.

Anyway, no matter how they scolded and shouted outside, they would guard the city wall, and if the Ming army came, they would fire cannons and arrows, and they would not go out of the city anyway.

"Grandson in the city, listen well, you guys who have forgotten their roots, the rat's tail is left on the head, it's so comfortable......"

Again, there was a shouting and scolding from outside the city, and looking out from the battlement, you could see that there was another group of Ming soldiers scolding outside the city, and they even deliberately showed the bun on their heads.

Looking at the bun from a distance, Wang Yuan only felt that his eyes were hot, and his face suddenly became hot, and he looked left and right, the big guys were hanging their heads, and their expressions were extremely complicated.

This is Jiangyin, just more than ten years ago, people here did not hesitate to throw their heads for the clothes on their hair buns, and now they are ...... Feeling the pigtail like a rat's tail on the back of his head, an inexplicable humiliation permeated his heart.

"I don't shave my head......"

Again, more than ten years ago, when he was forcibly pulled by his father with a razor, the crying teenager returned to his mind again, it was a distant memory, and he couldn't bear to pick it up.

"I have no face to see my ancestors and ancestors......"

Just then, suddenly, a voice sounded in their ears.

"Get up, get up and stand up, all the like a dead mother, tell you, if any of you dare to surrender, don't blame the garrison for being ruthless, this city is full of fire oil, pile up dry firewood, as long as a fire, you can burn this Jiangyin City!"

Unlike these people who have the word "Yong" written on their bodies and temporarily recruit village warriors, this person who scolds and speaks northern dialect has "Bing" written on his uniform. He is a Green Battalion soldier. There are only 800 green battalion soldiers in this Jiangyin City, but they are the backbone of guarding Jiangyin, as for the other temporary recruitment of Xiangyong, most of them are forced by swords and guns, and even for fear of their uproar, the Jiangyin garrison Cao An Gang also poured fire oil and dry firewood in the city as a threat, of course, in addition, there are also temptations - in addition to the military salary of 2 taels of silver per month, if you can hold Jiangyin City, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels at that time!

Under such threats and temptations, this Jiangyin City will not fall due to the mutiny of Xiangyong.

"Oh, that's it, that's it......"

Sad in his heart, when Wang Yuan looked out of the city, he unexpectedly saw that there seemed to be some reed pipes moving on the river outside the city, and he could vaguely see the mud rolling at the bottom of the river, that is...... When Wang Yuan was a child, when he played in the water, he didn't know how many times, he used a reed pipe to ventilate and hide underwater.

When he subconsciously wanted to scream, as soon as the words reached his throat, Wang Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes drooped, and he pretended not to see.

What do they want to do? Did you want to get in through the Water Gate?

No!

Thinking of the water gate under his feet, Wang Yuan muttered to himself in his heart, the fence of this water gate is made of wrought iron, and there is an iron-clad wooden gate on the water surface, although the water gate is not blocked by bricks and stones, but it is not easier than the siege gate.

Just when Wang Yuan was curious about why the Ming army outside the city sneaked to the water gate, Zhu Mingzhong, who swam to the bottom of the water gate with a reed pipe in his mouth, had already jumped to the water gate, and at the water gate, several wooden planks several meters long floated on the water surface, which was specially floated before.

"My lord, what are you going to do next?"

Yu Xiaobao and the others, who poked their heads out of the water, looked at the water gate of the black hole, looked at the gate gate blocking the way, and looked at Zhu Mingzhong with some nervousness, what do you want to do?

"Stuck the board on this, yes, this is the ......"

Pointing to the stone crack under the Watergate Opening, Zhu Mingzhong instructed them to nail a few iron nails, and then put the wooden planks in the Doorway, forming a place for people to stand under the Watergate Opening. The big guy came out of the water and stood on the board, and they saw the big man take the package from the board.

When the package was opened, Yu Xiaobao looked at the contents of the bag, and his eyes suddenly became stupid.

"My lord, this is ......"
