Chapter 426: Festival of Lights

Suddenly there was a loud cannon fire outside the city, Qiu Guang stopped and stopped talking, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

Of course, Chen Baichuan also heard the sound of cannons, and the Chen army on the city wall was gathered in a hurry, and it was rare and commendable that the Chen army still retained the basic order in the hurry.

"General." Chu Hui was already in the city before the cannon sounded.

Chen Baichuan cast an inquiring look at him, and when he heard the sound of the cannon, he hurried over, not knowing what was happening.

Chu Hui told what he had seen and heard: "The people of Qingguo suddenly fired at the city gate, but the accuracy was relatively poor, and only four soldiers were found to be injured, and one was too late to rescue and died. ”

Chen Baichuan frowned slightly, he pointed to the place where there were obvious traces of artillery fire, and said, "The people of Qingguo are really hateful. If he dares to hurt my soldiers, I will dare to return the favor. Ordered the artillery corps on the city to prepare. ”

As soon as the order was given, Chen Baichuan saw the smoke rising from the camp tent in the city, and suddenly realized.

This cannon was just a harassment tactic by the Qingguo people, who were disturbed by the smoke rising slowly from the cooking smoke in Guangyang City, judging that the soldiers in the city were about to eat.

If it weren't for the sudden blessing of his heart, Chen Baichuan might really have to follow the strategy of the Qing army and make a big move. At that time, he followed the thoughts of the Qing army, causing the soldiers in the city to be exhausted.

Chen Baichuan half-raised his hand to stop Chu Hui's movements.

He said, "Leave aside the order just now, let me think again." ”

I saw that while he was pondering the coping strategy, there was another cannon roar. This time, the shell fell far from the last time.

Chen Baichuan suddenly remembered that when he was in Anling City, he led a mere 3,000 men and horses, and he was also harassed like the Qing army.

But that was back then. The people in the city were replaced by Chen Guo's army, and the people outside the city were also replaced by Qingguo people. Chen Baichuan's troops were not just a simple Sichuan army, but gathered the elite of Chen Guo's army, and the number of them increased dozens of times.

"The people of Qingguo have been abandoned by the times." Chen Baichuan muttered in his heart.

Qingguo people think that they have learned Chen Guo's firearms, but they don't know the real essence of them.

Chen Baichuan said to Chu Hui, who was still waiting for orders: "Don't say that the Qingguo people are just bluffing, even if they really attack in a big way, just our soldiers on duty can resist for a while." ”

He turned to the soldiers and said, "It's just Qingguo." Everyone should eat and eat, and everyone should be on duty, and everything is as usual. ”

The military order is like a mountain, not to mention that the soldiers also respect Chen Baichuan from the bottom of their hearts. As soon as Chen Baichuan's words came out, all the soldiers were like the East China Sea that had obtained the Dinghai Divine Needle, and their hearts instantly settled down.

As for the Qingguo soldiers under the city, it is not yet known the movements of Chen Guoren.

………………………………

Countless Kong Ming lanterns rose, and the sapphire blue night was like stars shining for a while.

Actually, there aren't many stars tonight.

The clouds accumulated during the day until the sun sank in the west, and still covered the sky behind the clouds. The darkness of the night, even more intense.

Today is a little special.

I don't know when it began, Chen Guo set up the Lantern Festival. Every year on this night, every house lights up their lights.

Qualified wealthy families compete with each other to see whose house is brighter and more gorgeous. The winner is proud, and the loser is not discouraged, quietly putting down the cruel words, and must not lose again next year.

The atmosphere of luxury has nothing to do with Daling City.

It's just that after a teenager came by boat a few years ago, the entire Daling Province was reborn.

Ordinary people have no worries about food and clothing, while the gold, silver and jewelry in the homes of large families are about to become moldy. The more you have money, the more you want to spend it.

Daling Province has never been willing to fall behind in the Festival of Lights for several years.

In particular, there are several Qinglou restaurants in the city, and the beauties of the painting boat are simply born for the Lantern Festival. The big boat leaning on the shore of the lake is decorated with many lanterns of various colors.

I want to burn the whole ship tonight.

The bustards understand a truth, the painting boat that is beautiful tonight will be able to move Daling City in the morning.

At that time, the cost of the lanterns will soon be exchanged for the white flesh of the girls, and if you can hold an Oiran, it will be even more wealthy.

It's just that you can't take the first place, as long as you can show off tonight, there will naturally be guests coming to the door.

In short, it's a sure-fire deal.

There was a bearded man in the lake, pointing to a painting boat, and said with admiration: "I think I can see this one tonight, and what else is there to see." What are those pretends, what are they pretending to be. ”

The girl next to him looked in the direction of his finger and blushed suddenly. The girl was quite helpless, and the boat that the bearded man spoke of was notorious among the nobles of the city.

The girls on the boat are all scantily clad in revealing clothes, and through the fabric that wraps the intimate place, you can get a glimpse of the faintly indescribable place.

The beautiful name is called: half-covered.

This lantern festival is also the most vulgar in his house, and it is almost piled up with large lanterns. Among the other antique families, it is simply a flock of chickens and cranes.

"Wu Changwen, if you dare to fool around in that kind of place, see if I don't skin you." Wu Changwen's wife said angrily.

It turned out that the bearded man turned out to be Wu Changwen.

When Chen Guo's army set out, it was when Wu Changwen's wife was in labor. Wu Yuqing used this as an excuse, coupled with the obstruction of others, and finally left Wu Changwen at home.

It's just that Wu Changwen is not compatible with Chen by nature, so he can't stop, and he doesn't want to take it at home at all.

His wife also had a big belly in Dalingcheng, so he ran to Dalingcheng and waited for the birth of his second child.

In addition to these two people, there is also a beautiful woman.

Daling Province has actually become the territory of the Chen family, and it needs a principal. And the Chen family is not prosperous for the time being, and it is difficult for Bai Shuang, the housewife of the Chen family, to leave Chen Capital.

I had to let Jiang Shiluo run this trip.

Jiang Shiluo looked at the brightly lit lake and couldn't help but wet his eyes.

At this time, far away in Guangyang City, Qingguo, the soldiers were also happily talking about the Lantern Festival. Anyone who has seen the illumination can take it out and brag about it.

Chen Baichuan had already ordered a lot of Kong Ming lanterns to be raised, so that the soldiers' nostalgic hearts were a little safe. People in a foreign country always miss more.

There is no Lantern Festival on Qingguo's side, but when they see the bright lights on Guangyang City, they can't help but miss it.

Liu Tingfeng said to himself in the tent:

"On a day like tonight, the soldiers of Chen Guo must be prepared, if they want to sneak attack, I am afraid it will not be easy to succeed."

He didn't know that for Qingguo, it was already a catastrophe. And it's the kind of catastrophe that wiped out the whole army.

Chen Baichuan originally planned to consume the Qing army.

And now, an even better opportunity is just around the corner. He couldn't help but choose a better opportunity.
