Chapter 49: The Siege of Blackwater Camp 3
"Sister Yuan Zhi, as soon as the war is over, I will take you back to the Central Plains!" , Seeing her with a sad face, Chen Jialuo comforted.
"Back to the Central Plains?" , Li Yuanzhi's eyes lit up and quickly dimmed, "Isn't your Red Flower Society determined to oppose the imperial court?" Now that Brother Chen has helped Mu Lao Hero defeat General Zhaohui and married her daughter, wouldn't it be right to borrow troops to start an incident at that time? Why do you want to go back to the Central Plains? ”
"Hehe, I never thought of asking Mu Zhuolun to borrow troops." , how many people are Mu Zhuolun's subordinates? How many people can you lend to yourself? Besides, these subordinates do not think the same as themselves, Chen Jialuo does not want these people to obtain the knowledge of later generations taught by himself and then divide the northwest, "I am a Han Chinese, and we Han people have to do the overthrow of the Manchu court; This time, helping Mu Zhuolun just wanted to consume the strength of the imperial court; As soon as Zhaohui is finished, Qianlong will have to transfer troops from the mainland, so that our Red Flower Society will have a chance. I guess it won't be long before we can get back to the Central Plains. Chen Jialuo comforted.
"What about Sister Huo?" , Hearing that Chen Jialuo would not stay in the northwest, Li Yuanzhi was much happier, but immediately worried about Huo Qingtong again.
"If Zhaohui is destroyed, Mu Lao Hero will be able to recuperate for a while, I want Qingtong to go back to the Central Plains with me!" , Chen Jialuo looked at Li Yuanzhi sincerely, "Yuanzhi, a man should be a promise, I will not disappoint you in the future, and I will not fail Qingtong; Maybe I'm greedy, but both of you cherish me equally, and I can't give up either. ”
Li Yuanzhi suddenly remembered what Chen Jialuo told her about Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, and she didn't know how Zhang Wuji made the choice in the first place; Thinking about the days when she got along with Huo Qingtong in the past, Li Yuanzhi couldn't get angry for a while, turned her head and glared at Chen Jialuo, "I'm the daughter of the Admiral's family, so I won't marry you, a thief!" ”
Chen Jialuo knew that if a girl made an angry appearance towards you, she was usually not really angry, so he said with a smile, "Since I am a thief, then you still want to run away if you fall into my hands?" From now on, I will look at you closely, and when I return to the Central Plains, I will find a mountain to set up a village, and arrest you as the wife of the village. ”
"Humph!" , Li Yuanzhi snorted angrily, threw off Chen Jialuo and ran to the front, pressing Mrs. Zhai? Thinking of these four words, Li Yuanzhi's face couldn't help but turn red.
When she returned to Huo Qingtong's tent and saw that she was still asleep, recalling that she was really tired enough this time, Chen Jialuo sat at her bedside for a while and then returned to his tent. At night, he heard a shout of killing from the Blackwater camp, but when he was about to get up to look, there was no sound again.
On the second day, he went out and met Huo Ayi, and learned from him that when he was sleeping last night, Zhaohui sent people out to rush out and kill for a while, and the troops did not expect that Zhaohui would dare to take the initiative to attack under the heavy surrounding, and was suddenly killed hundreds of people, and the team felt that it was about to counterattack when the Qing army retreated back to the camp.
"Sure enough, it's a veteran!" , Chen Jialuo praised, no wonder Zhaohui in the history books was able to persist from being besieged in October to January, comforting Huo Ayi a few words, Chen Jialuo went to Huo Qingtong's account again, and naturally did not mention the night attack last night, and after feeding her breakfast, he talked for a while, knowing that she was a little sleepy, Chen Jialuo said goodbye and went out.
What Huo Ayi didn't know was that last night's night attack was just to cover the other team, and taking advantage of the attention of his troops to be attracted by the Qing army leaving the camp, Isam, the third-class guard of the imperial front, rushed out of the encirclement with Zhaohui's letter and four cavalrymen, and rushed in the direction of Lai Ning City.
On the way to Laining City, Issamu and Shi Shuangying and others met unexpectedly, Zhang Jin was just about to make a move, but remembered Chen Jialuo's move to let the messenger go, and it was difficult to decide for a while, so he had to let them go.
"What are you going to do?" , came out of Huo Qingtong's tent, and happened to meet Huo Ayi rushing to the south with thousands of people; There are no Qing troops in the south now? Thinking of this, Chen Jialuo asked curiously.
Huo Aiyi now completely regarded him as his brother-in-law, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Aren't there often stories of digging water and irrigating camps in your Han books?" We also give Zhaohui such a hand this time! ”
Judging from Zhao Hui's previous command of the battle, there is not much loophole except for the fact that the enemy is rash to advance, and Hoayi's idea may not have any effect; However, Chen Jialuo will not point it through, and after praising Huo Ayi for a few words, he went to the hillside opposite the Heishui camp to watch the battle, all his military knowledge is just from military training in college and some movies, television and forum posts, it is really the first time to experience the war, and he naturally refuses to let go of the good opportunity to observe the scene.
Seeing that the water flow in the Heishui River at the edge of the camp was getting thinner and thinner, the river broke off at about noon, and after two hours, the sound of roaring water sounded upstream, and the turbid river roared towards Zhaohui's camp, and the safflower group on the hill suddenly burst into applause, but Chen Jialuo stared at the wall of the camp.
It turned out that Zhaohui had already taken precautions when he saw the large group of people and horses going upstream, and ordered people to dig a circle of trenches around the wall, the water of the Heishui River was not very abundant, and the time for Huo Ai and others to block the river was short, and the river water quickly flowed downstream along the ditch. When everyone saw the failure of the water attack, they all sighed.
After the flood receded, Zhaohui still frowned, there was not much food in the camp, and if he went down, he would probably kill the horses; But without a horse, you can only hold on and not attack, and you can't last long if you go on like this.
"Report, something strange was found in the camp, Lord Ming asked the general to come over and take a look!" , followed the messenger to a corner of the camp, Mingrui was squatting on the ground regardless of his image and carefully examining a piece of land soaked by the river; Seeing Zhaohui coming, Ming Rui was overjoyed, "General! We are saved! ”
"Oh? What did the Master discover? Zhaohui hurriedly walked over.
"Your Excellency, please look!" , Mingrui pointed to a wet mark on the ground, "The wet mark here is very different from other places, it can be seen that there must be something strange underground!" ”
When did you pull me over and mess around with you! Zhao Hui's face instantly pulled down; Seeing that Zhaohui didn't understand what he meant, Mingrui hurriedly added, "My lord, after coming to the northwest, I will inquire about the local customs in many ways; Knowing that there are many wars in this generation, so the people often dig cellars to hide the grain in the ground, the wet marks here are different from other places, and there are buried things in the ground at a glance. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhaohui immediately ordered, "Dig it up for me!" ”
Looking at the historical data, I knelt down at this time, Zhaohui was really lucky, and there was a grain cellar under the camp casually. Thank you Jun Ning for your 588 tip, recommend it today, kneel and beg for support, and add more thanks for a while
