Chapter 556: Flood
~~~~~~
The 20-member Ming army's 'corpse throwing squad' had a very smooth journey, and in the middle of the night the next day, they successfully returned to Haizhou City without a single casualty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The main reason is that Li Yuanqing's timing is very vicious, he left the city in the early morning, 'threw the corpse' at night, and stayed away from the warning range of the Houjin army, and it was difficult for them to predict that Li Yuanqing would use this way to 'treat others in the way of others'.
However, the news is not all good news.
The rain continued to rain for two days, but instead of stopping, it intensified, and the river was about to reach the maximum warning line.
On the land outside Haizhou City, an ocean has formed that is clearly visible to the naked eye, and it must be at least a finger deep.
In such a state of affairs, let alone a war, it is difficult to take a step.
Early in the morning of 19 May, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Wei Liang, Zhang Qiliang, and dozens of other principal generals of the two ministries went to the river at the east gate to inspect the situation.
At this time, the river was rolling and tumbling, turbid, and there was no longer the clear and deep comfort when Li Yuanqing first entered the city, but like a raging and tumbling dragon.
Chen Zhong said: "Yuanqing, the situation is not good. Looking at this appearance, it is likely to be flooded! We have to figure out a way as soon as possible. ”
Wei Liang was also busy: "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, when the miscellaneous family was a child, there was a big flood in the old family, it was like God eating people." Most of the parents and relatives of the miscellaneous family were lost in that flood. Look at the appearance in front of me, this, this is even bigger than the big water when I was a child!
Zhang Qiliang also nodded again and again, his face full of horror.
Fire and water are ruthless.
In the face of this majesty of God, what can mortals do?
Duan Xiliang said: "General, looking at this situation, we may have to give up Haizhou City." Otherwise, once the water rushes up, it's ......"
Guan Canghai also said: "There is no big water, only a heavy rain is missing." General, we must make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Junzi hurriedly said: "This~, is this going to abandon the city?" If the city is abandoned, and there are still so many women and children, if the Tartars catch up, then how should we deal with it? ”
Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, and he never expected that things would develop like this.
In the history of his memory, he never remembered that there was a big flood in Liaodi, wasn't it always a great drought?
But at this time, the facts are in front of him, and Li Yuanqing can only choose to accept the reality.
Could it be that history has changed?
Li Yuanqing stepped aside, picked up a stone the size of a leather ball, and threw it into the river.
Everyone looked at Li Yuanqing with blank eyes.
Li Yuanqing sighed deeply and glanced at everyone: "What everyone said is good. The situation is out of our control. We have to make a decision as soon as possible. If the river rushes into the city, the consequences are unimaginable. I mean, we have to break through as soon as possible. ”
"Breakout? This ......"
Everyone was a little speechless for a while.
Chen Zhong was also entangled, "Yuanqing, if you break through, we will be under a lot of pressure." ”
Li Yuanqing suddenly sneered: "If you are under pressure, you have to break through." Fire and water are merciless. If the flood rushes into the city, I'm afraid none of us will want to run. Prepare now. Big brother, your department will go out of the city first, and my department will be cut off. Half an hour later, break through from the south gate! ”
Li Yuanqing's authority is beyond doubt.
At this time, Chen Zhong didn't dare to refute Li Yuanqing's meaning, and hurriedly nodded and beckoned his headquarters to do it, and the generals of the various departments of the Immortal Battalion also quickly got busy.
…………
At this time, the Houjin camp was also noisy.
Unlike the Ming army, which had the advantage of the city, the tents of the Houjin army were all set up on the ground, and at this time, the flood was almost over people's ankles, and the tents could not live in them for a long time.
In the middle of the night, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs in the Houjin camp, and it was obvious that no one could sleep well.
At this time, the old slave's tent had been moved to the small dirt slope to the west, but even so, the bottom of the tent, the luxurious carpet of gold wire, had been soaked and could hardly be used again.
The most terrifying thing is that since this morning, some warriors have begun to have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, which is quite a trend of getting worse and worse, which is very worrying.
Outside the old slave's big tent, Dai Shan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and other post-gold magnates gathered around the old slave and inspected the surrounding situation.
But even on the dirt slope, the water flows down the grass roots, almost reaching the soles of the shoes, and the feet are wet, which is very uncomfortable.
The old slave's face was gloomy, and he stared straight in the direction of Haizhou City.
Dai Shan said: "Khan Ama, in this weather, this battle, I'm afraid it can't be fought anymore!" If there is a big flood, the consequences will be unimaginable! We have to be prepared in advance. ”
Dai Shan knew very well that in the event of a flood, property damage was secondary, and it was easy for large-scale plagues to occur.
Especially at this time, the signs of plague had begun to appear in the rear army, which made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
Amin also gritted his teeth and said, "It's really cheap, Li Yuanqing, this dog thief!" This guy is so lucky! ”
Yue Tuo shook his head, "Second uncle, Li Yuanqing's luck may not be better than ours, once there is a big flood and the city is rushed, it will save our strength." ”
Amin also reacted and couldn't help laughing: "Not bad." I'm looking forward to it, God came to collect Li Yuanqing's dog offal earlier! ”
At this time, the old slave let out a long sigh.
Everyone couldn't help but hurriedly looked in the direction of the old slave, not daring to say more.
Looking at the ocean in front of him, the old slave felt very uncomfortable.
Originally, this time, he made a big determination to take down Li Yuanqing, but at this time, it was obviously difficult to achieve.
However, in a way, this also found a step down for him.
Otherwise, with Li Yuanqing, he is not too sure at all.
Even in his heart, he still looked down on Li Yuanqing a little, but with countless bloody realities in front of him, he no longer dared to touch Li Yuanqing's brows easily.
After a while, the old slave sighed and said, "God, it's really cheap Li Yuanqing." However, for the time being, we should focus on dealing with the flood first. Passing on the order of our army, the whole army pulled out camp and retreated to the heights to the west. ”
The people around him were afraid that at this time, the old slave still couldn't think of making Li Yuanqing tougher, and when he heard the old slave's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Khan Ama is wise."
"The Great Khan is wise. Let's retreat to a high place, God has come to collect Li Yuanqing's dog offal! ”
"Yes. Isn't Li Yuanqing ruthless? Look at him or God is more ruthless! Hahaha! ”
“……”
At the edge of the crowd, Tan Bai clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth twisted back and forth.
How could he not see it? These people, I'm afraid that they have already been frightened by Li Yuanqing, the flood is just an excuse.
Especially this morning, some soldiers began to have diarrhea, which made Tan Bai have a very ominous premonition in his heart, which was probably Li Yuanqing's move.
Unfortunately, in such a situation, there is no way to verify.
In the face of the general trend, he can only choose to give in.
"I still want to get more rights!" Tan Bai clenched his fists.
At this time, suddenly a servant quickly came over to report, "Great Khan, masters, the Ming army has a vanguard out of the city from the south gate, it seems that it is going to break through from the south gate?" ”
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
The old slave also reacted, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
In a moment, the group turned on their horses and quickly pressed towards the south.
It's a pity that the ground under their feet is too muddy, and the war horses can't rush up at all, but they have walked for more than half an hour for more than three miles.
At this time, the south gate of Haizhou City has been completely opened, and the Ming army has lined up three phalanxes on the west side, I am afraid that there are six or seven thousand people, and in front, there are all pikemen, sharp spearheads, and they are aimed directly at this direction.
"This lowly mud khan! He actually wanted to run? Great Khan, the minions are willing to lead troops to attack Li Yuanqing's spear array! Amin couldn't help but be furious.
I was counting on God to accept Li Yuanqing, but who would have thought that Li Yuanqing would actually want to run.
Tan Bai didn't care about his identity, and he was also busy: "Great Khan, the minions are also willing to rush into battle." ”
On the side, Dai Shan shook his head, "The land is so muddy, how do you rush into battle?" You can only fight on foot! Li Yuanqing is cunning and cunning, and he must have been prepared. Let's wait and see what happens, and don't act rashly! ”
Mang Gurtai also said: "What the second brother said is right, Li Yuanqing must have also discovered that the situation was not good, so he wanted to escape." The point is that the flood is too big now, and it is difficult for our main force to cross the river. It's really unwise to attack rashly. ”
Amin was a little anxious, "Second, fifth, are you afraid of a bird's feather?" We have quite a few rafts and will definitely be able to cross the river. If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Amin said that he was about to hurriedly call for deployment.
"Wait!"
The old slave suddenly shouted.
Amin was taken aback, but he also came back to his senses, and hurriedly looked at the old slave respectfully, "Great Khan, minion, minion is a little impulsive." ”
The old slave glanced at Amin a little fiercely.
But in a moment, the ferocity gradually dissipated.
Amin's eyebrows and eyes resemble those of his brother Shulhaqi.
Although Shulhaqi is not authentic, he is his mother's flesh and blood brother after all, especially when the brothers were on an errand together under Li Chengliang, and several times, Shulhaqi once blocked the whip for him.
And Amin, he was almost raised by his own hands, just like his own son.
At this time, of course, the old slave can also understand Amin's mood, Li Yuanqing is a thief, it is really too jealous.
"Amin, you are also the eldest person, and even more so the big Baylor. Can you do things so impulsively? The old slave tried to keep his tone as soft as he could.
But Amin still sounded a little too harsh, and he hurriedly lowered his head respectfully, "Great Khan, the slave knows that he is wrong. ”
The old slave knew that he was still unconvinced, so he had to explain carefully: "Li Yuanqing has few war horses, how fast can he go?" As long as the heavy rain stops, don't we still have a chance? And why rush to this moment? ”
Amin also came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The slave knows that he is wrong, thank you for the Great Khan's teachings." ”
Seeing that Amin's attitude was much more sincere at this time, the old slave nodded with some relief, "Pass my military order, let's withdraw first!" Another ~~, Dai Shan. ”
"The son is here." Dai Shan hurried out of the ranks.
The old slave's eyes suddenly sharpened, "You can make your elite minions firmly monitor Li Yuanqing's every move!" Once the time is ripe, let's take down Li Yuanqing with one blow!! ”
"Wow!"
