Chapter 308: Broken Umbrella (Three Watches)

The day is slightly white, and the dawn is rising!

Looking at the miserable white sky in the east, Su Baiyi felt a little chill on his body, and took a armor set handed over by Li Suo and put it outside, which made him feel a little warmer.

Outside the city, in Luo Rucai's barracks, countless people wailed and wept, and all the soldiers were in a mess, some went to extinguish the fire, and some surrounded the panicked people.

After about half an hour, the barracks gradually became quiet.

Two attacks in one night can be said to have taken a huge advantage, but at this time, Su Baiyi was not half happy, he looked at a few wisps of green smoke on the opposite side, and his brows furrowed tightly.

In two attacks, the first killed more than 3,000 enemies.

The second kill is at least 5,000 or more.

Who are the beheaded?

Those are ordinary people.

Luo Rucai's real main force and backbone troops were not affected in the slightest.

In other words, Luo Rucai still has nearly 100,000 combatable troops stationed under the city, waiting for the day, looking at Shangqiu City with fierce eyes.

In addition to this, there are nearly 100,000 displaced people.

And starting today, Luo Rucai will definitely not give himself a chance to sneak attack and take advantage of it.

Then, the next step is the battle between the siege and the defense of the city, and the tough battle of real swords and guns is coming soon.

Luo Rucai rode on horseback and looked at the city coldly, he was not as angry and angry as he was after the first sneak attack last night, but his face was very cold.

"Complete the change of defense today!" Luo Rucai looked at the surrounding generals: "50,000 foot soldiers are stationed in the outermost camp near the inner city, and at least 5,000 people are selected to patrol and defend the city every night. It is said that eating a trench will grow a wisdom, fuck it, Lao Tzu has eaten two trenches in a row, can he not grow a wisdom? ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Lu Xiong bowed his hand with a dark face.

Because of the enemy's attack on the camp, he has been scolded by the marshal this morning.

Although, yesterday it was the marshal himself who said that he was not more worried.

"How much food do we have?" Luo Rucai turned his head towards Song Zuzhi, the military division.

Song Zuzhi immediately bowed down and said, "Go back to Dashuai and ask, our grain and grass can support a month." ”

"Not enough!" Luo Rucai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he threw himself at the west gate of Shangqiu City again, and saw the tall Su Baiyi standing at the head of the city from a distance, and said: "I underestimated this Mr. Su in Guide Mansion, hehe, hehe, no wonder, this guy is talented, single-handedly Dingshan, and has the power of Huoshentai to preach the Tao, and his disciples are innumerable, even Chongzhen calls him Suzi, and he is really a capable person."

It's Ben Shuai who underestimated him, all of this is Ben Shuai's fault, it's impossible for us to capture the inner city in a short time, and you are all prepared for a long-term siege of Ben Shuai. ”

"Yes!" Song Zuzhi and the others nodded.

Luo Rucai said again: "We don't have much food in stock, let those women and children go to the wilderness." Isn't he Su Baiyi a strong wall and a clear wilderness, let's go to the wilderness ten miles away, the Central Plains, and we can't find anything to eat. ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Song Zuzhi said again: "It's early autumn now, just wait for more than a month, and the crops in the fields of the people in Sixia are also ripe, and we can get grain on the spot." This lack of food is not a cause for concern. ”

"Okay!" Luo Rucai showed some smiles on his face, and said hehe: "It's Su Baiyi in this city, Ben Shuai heard that he not only moved the people from the outer city, but also took the people within a radius of ten miles. Today, the inner city is small, but there are 50,000 people. Hehe, 50,000 people, eating and drinking every day, he Su Baiyi can last for a few days. He can't hold out for a few days, but Ben Shuai has no risk of lack of food, so it is difficult for him to be undefeated. The victory or defeat of the Guide Mansion has been decided, but the commander still has a ......"

"What is the marshal worried about?" Song Zuzhi asked.

"I heard that Emperor Chongzhen is quite fond of Su Baiyi, and if the imperial court knows that Guide Mansion is besieged, he will definitely send troops to support. Not to mention Sixian and Kaifeng, Yuan Mo of Luoyang alone has 30,000 horses under his command. Luo Rucai's face was heavy: "Yuan Mo's kid sent someone to collude with Ben Shuai in private, maybe it is not a concern, but this battle is extremely unfavorable to us for a long time, and we must take it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

"Pass my orders!" Luo Rucai waved his hand: "All the soldiers repaired all morning, and after lunch, they moved together from the four gates of Shangqiu City to attack the city with all their might." Ben Shuai wants to let Su Baiyi understand that a little smart can be ambitious for a while, but not for a long time, and if you want to win this battle, it is still a big fist that has the final say. ”

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, seeing that Luo Rucai had no intention of attacking the city, Su Baiyi went down to the city, and the defense of the city head was handed over to Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and Li Suo, and each of the four guarded one direction.

The city wall of Guide Mansion is not too big, and the entire city wall is densely packed enough to accommodate 3,000 people stationed at the same time, but if it is full of 3,000 people, there is no space for other materials to be stacked at the head of the city, so there are only 2,000 people stationed on it at ordinary times.

The 6,000-strong railway guards were divided into three shifts, and the system of three shifts was also adopted to defend the city.

As for the main general, naturally he could not leave the city for a moment, and he would eat, drink, and sleep in the city.

Su Baiyi had just returned to the small courtyard, and before he saw his family, he was stopped in Zhou Shipu's hall by the students of Yuyuan who came to chase him.

It was Fu Lin and the others who came, and the main purpose of coming here was to report the situation in the past two days to Su Baiyi.

"The people have been properly settled!" Fu Lin said: "Our students have been mobilizing day and night, and now they can also assist in defending the city, and after learning that they have achieved two consecutive night raids, the people's emotions have also calmed down a lot. Now we don't have much of a problem storing the things we need in the city, but there is only one thing that is not enough? ”

Su Baiyi asked, "What is it?" ”

Fu Lin said: "There are not enough arrows. ”

"I'll figure out the materials, you organize the people to make arrows!" Su Baiyi agreed easily.

If it's a bow, it's more troublesome, but an arrow is much better.

After all, it takes more than a year to make a bow, but making an arrow is simple.

After sending away Fu Lin and the other disciples, Su Baiyi returned to his home, his eyes were dark, and he fell asleep when he saw the bed upside down. Yu Mutong took off his shoes distressedly, and said: "Xianggong should pay attention to his body, just defend the city and let those generals go, they have all led soldiers to fight, and let Xianggong do everything himself, even if he is beaten with iron, he can't stand it." ”

Su Baiyi didn't answer, closed his eyes and fell asleep heavily, but he suddenly woke up after less than three minutes of deep sleep, obviously very sleepy, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

Yu Mutong said: "You lie down first, I'll boil you some porridge to drink, and then fry a bowl of herbs to help you sleep." ”

Su Baiyi asked, "Are Qingye and Meishuang okay?" ”

"Okay, don't worry!" Yu Mutong helped him tuck the thin quilt under him, turned around and went out. After more than 20 minutes, he came in again, his face was fine and sweaty, and he held a bowl of porridge in his hand.

Su Baiyi sat up, took a sip gently, and found that the porridge was not too hot, and seeing Yu Mutong's busy appearance, she felt pity for a while, touched her obviously emaciated little face, and said, "It's also hard for you to hold this home during this time." ”

Yu Mutong's eyes were red, and he sighed and said, "This Ming day is so good, how can you talk about it and talk about it?" Two years before the concubine's death, I also heard that these thieves were making trouble in Shaanxi, but why did they get to our Guide Mansion? ”

Su Baiyi said while drinking porridge: "Isn't it all our silver that is to blame? Money attracts people's love, it can be seen that the word fame and fortune is actually a double-edged sword, and there are advantages and disadvantages! Okay, when the sky falls, there is Xianggong here, can you still let those thieves outside the city hurt you? ”

After drinking a bowl of porridge, I felt much better, and then I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes in reverie, thinking about it over and over again, thinking about all the things of the city defense: Are the materials ready? How do the soldiers arrange? How can the people be appeased? How to make the most of them to help defend the city?

Thinking of the upset, but I couldn't sleep, and a pair of brows wrinkled.

"Xianggong still can't sleep?" Yu Mutong asked at the head of the bed.

"Hmm!" Su Baiyi didn't open his eyes, and responded with a heavy voice in his throat. But I heard the sound of rustling, as if someone was taking off their clothes.

So, Su Daguan opened his eyes and decisively found that his lady had stepped down from the bijia, and the figure of Yingying under the profane clothes was undoubtedly revealed, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Lady, what are you doing?" ”

Yu Mutong's face turned red with shame, and he said in a low voice: "The slave family can't sleep when they see Xianggong, thinking that Xianggong can sleep peacefully every time he performs the gift of Zhou Gong, aren't we ......?"

"Lady, great idea!" Su Baiyi pulled her over, and neatly peeled off the only piece of obscene clothes she had left on her body, and the joy inside was like a rabbit, like snow-white skin in the daytime, it looked more amorous, but there was a long knife mark at the back of the lower abdomen, which looked a little shocking.

Su Baiyi's hand gently touched her lower abdomen and said, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Yu Mutong smiled and said: "It's been a year, and it doesn't hurt anymore." ”

"Well, come, I'm so tired today, master, are you okay on it?" Su Baiyi said as he moved his hands up narrowly, only to hear a "hmm" in Yu Mutong's nostrils, and his heart suddenly bloomed. He added: "Speaking of this, the husband remembered a joke. ”

"Huh......" Yu Mutong couldn't help but be emotional, and said, "What kind of joke?" ”

Su Baiyi said: "The name of this joke is broken umbrella. It is said that there is a couple who perform the gift of Zhou Gong, and at the beginning, the husband was on top and the lady was below. Xianggong asked his wife, what do you say my guy looks like? His lady thought for a moment and replied, like a dragon over the mountain, placed in the water jar. ”

Yu Mutong laughed again when she heard this.

Su Baiyi continued: "After a while, the husband and wife were interested again. This time, just like the two of us, the lady is high and the husband is below. This time it's the lady who asks for justice, what does that guy look like now? The husband thought for a while, and the meaningful answer was like a broken umbrella. The lady asked, an umbrella is an umbrella, why do you need to add a broken word? Xiang Gong replied, if it is not broken, how can it flow water on the umbrella pole? ”

Yu Mutong couldn't help it, snorted, and laughed so much that his body suddenly lost his center of gravity.
