The Later Jin army fled in embarrassment, but at the head of Haizhou City, the Ming army was jubilant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before, the hundreds of Tartar elites who rushed to the city had already been attacked by the Ming army and all of them were killed.

The soldiers stripped them of their clothes and armor, seized their weapons, cut off their heads, and threw their bodies into the raging fire in the moat, which continued to fuel the fire.

At this time, even though the rain was pouring down, the fire oil in the moat still burned for more than half an hour, and then gradually weakened, and then there were signs of extinguishment.

"Haha! Yuanqing, happy, really happy! It's good that you kept a hand, otherwise, we would really be on the road of dog tartars this time! ”

After the invalidation of this wave of surprise attacks, the overall situation has been decided.

In this weather, the heavy rain shows no signs of stopping, and it is not known how long it will last.

The ground under their feet was already muddy, and the Houjin army didn't say that it was tonight, even if it was tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it would be difficult for them to organize an effective offensive.

Otherwise, if they forcibly attack the city on such muddy land, once the heavy rain stops, or the heavy rain does not need to stop, as long as the Ming army builds rainproof fortifications on the top of the city, they can only become the living targets of the Ming army's birds.

Li Yuanqing also came to the city gate building with Chen Zhong at this time, wiped his body, and changed into clean clothes.

At this time, Chen Zhong wiped the water stains on his body with a cloth, and said to Li Yuanqing with a laugh: "Yuanqing, this oil is really a treasure." What the hell is going on? Under such heavy rain, they can still burn so strongly? ”

Li Yuanqing wiped his body, casually put on a soldier's cloth robe, sat on the simple bunk on the side, and said with a smile: "Big brother, people often say that water and fire are incompatible. Water can extinguish fires, but in many cases, the two are not incompatible. It's a long story, so let's talk over a drink sometime. It's just a pity, these precious oil should have played a greater role. But tonight these dog tartars forced me to use them. ”

Chen Zhong also reacted, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, these fire oils are not cheap tonight, right?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "It's almost eighteen thousand taels of silver." Fortunately, we still have more than 200 Tartar heads in the account, and with these blades and armor, it is not too much of a loss. ”

These hot oils were purchased by Li Yuanqing from Denglai one after another, and when they first bought it, it was quite cheap, but as the demand became larger, these profiteers in Laizhou raised the price higher and higher, fortunately, Yuan Keli did Li Yuanqing a big favor and left three good mines for Li Yuanqing.

Next, the Changsheng Camp obtained the oil again, and the cost was reduced by more than half, and the production cost was basically negligible, leaving only the freight and packaging to cost some silver.

However, Li Yuanqing also discovered the drawbacks of this fire oil offensive.

The main reason is that the purification of the oil is not clean enough, and there are still too many impurities, resulting in weak combustion, otherwise ~~, if it can meet the standard of gasoline in later generations, the burning ~ burning ~ bomb can even be used directly as a bomb, in normal weather, the Houjin army has no chance to resist at all.

"Hey, hey. As long as you can win the battle, what is a little bit of silver? Yuanqing, the old rules, our brothers are one and a half. That's right, Yuan Qing. Let's scare the Tartars back this time, and then things will be a little difficult to handle. If we continue to be trapped in the city by them, we can't afford to spend it with them. ”

Li Yuanqing just wanted to say, 'What is this bit of silver?', but he was also attracted by Chen Zhong's topic behind him, and nodded slowly.

The problem that Chen Zhong said was not only the problem of the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's Department at this time, but also the problem of the entire Ming army.

At this time, if you talk about defending the city, as long as there is enough food, grass, and ammunition, Li Yuanqing will not be in vain at all, even if the old slave is there in person?

But once in the field, there are too many variables.

Even if it is the Changsheng Battalion, if it wants to fight with the main force of the Houjin Army, it must maintain a formation at any time, and it must be assisted by a large number of chariots to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.

But even so, Li Yuanqing is not sure enough.

Because the impact of the cavalry is too great.

As the real king of the land in this era, even if Li Yuanqing has the advantage of foresight, without the escort of equal mobile forces, Li Yuanqing will never dare to be rash.

Otherwise, once the gap is broken by the cavalry, the consequences will be catastrophic.

Not to mention, there are so many Han slaves and female dependents in Haizhou City.

"Big brother, don't be too anxious about this matter. If we don't have enough food and grass, the Houjin army may not be abundant. How can a living person be suffocated by urine? Be patient, we will definitely have a good chance. ”

…………

After cleaning up the situation here and resting for a while, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong came to the city again, commanding to clean up the battle situation and strengthen the deployment after that.

At this time, it was almost three or four o'clock in the morning, and the heavy rain had already lightened a lot, but it still did not stop.

The soldiers began to use animal skins and oilcloth to build simple sheds on the city.

In the past, Li Yuanqing actually thought about building a shed at the head of the city, mainly to shade the sun and prevent the soldiers on duty from suffering from heat stroke.

But this is not a small amount of work after all.

First, it would take a lot of materials and manpower, and second, a shed was erected on the top of the city, and if the Houjin army attacked the city, the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers would be tied up and there would not be enough room to play.

But at this time, the weather changed, and Li Yuanqing could only choose to fight against God first.

However, the bloody battle had just been fought here, and Li Yuanqing did not dare to slack off on the disinfection work.

More than 100 soldiers carried bags of quicklime and sprinkled large quantities of quicklime in every corner of the city, even in the moat.

It was mainly the fulcrum of the Houjin army's bulldozing, which had blocked the flow of the moat, and with so many headless Tartar corpses thrown inside, it would definitely not work without sterilization.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the soldiers from catching a cold in the rain, Li Yuanqing ordered the firefighters to boil hundreds of pots of broth with a large amount of ginger in the inner wall to dispel the cold and enhance the immunity of the soldiers.

When these tasks were almost busy, it was already dawn, and Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also rushed over.

In fact, they heard the movement on the side of the city last night, but Li Yuanqing had told them very well before, once there was an accident, it was best for them to stand still and wait for rescue.

After all, their identities dictate, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong must not leave them alone.

But once they are like headless flies scurrying, then ~~, no one can guarantee their safety.

took Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang to briefly inspect the situation in the city, and reported to them the results of last night's battle, and both of them couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In the open space under the city, Wei Liang personally ordered the more than 200-level Tartar heads that had been wrapped in quicklime, and smiled: "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, this relationship is good, this is a good start!" ”

Zhang Qiliang also smiled busily: "That's right." I'm afraid that eighty percent of them are real slave heads. Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, this is another great achievement for the two of you! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, "Father-in-law Zhang, this is our great achievement." ”

Zhang Qiliang also reacted, and said with a smile: "That's right." It's our great achievement. It's our great achievement. Hey, hey, hey......"

Chen Zhong was also in a good mood, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Two fathers-in-law, this morning, I have to bother you two to be on duty in the city for a while, Yuan Qing and I are tired all night, and we also need to rest for a while." ”

"That's nature, that's nature." The two hurriedly nodded.

After arranging everything, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong went back to rest.

…………

When I returned to the official hall, it was almost past seven o'clock.

The sky was still gloomy, and the drizzle showed no signs of stopping, washing the streets of the city very clean, and the grass and moss on the side of the streets were more vigorous, and the air was extremely fresh.

Breathing hard into the moist air mixed with the aroma of earth and grass, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

The land under your feet is the most beautiful land in the world.

With the inheritance of 5,000 years of civilization, how could these barbarians be allowed to wreak havoc here?

Although there is no accurate information, Li Yuanqing has an obvious premonition that the grain and grass of the old slave and the main force of the Houjin army are by no means as abundant as imagined.

At this point, they should be more anxious than their own.

This will be your best chance!

"Master, are you back?"

Seeing Li Yuanqing walk into the courtyard, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong were overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

Although they had already received the news of the army's victory before, it was more reassuring than not having Li Yuanqing come back safely.

Li Yuanqing hugged the two girls with a smile, "Last night, you didn't sleep until you were noisy, right?" ”

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Master, next time you fight, it would be good if you could take us there." We can serve him by his side. ”

Shu Murong also said cleverly: "Maybe, I can also help my master kill an enemy." My archery is very accurate. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Fighting a war is a man's business. Now is not the case, so don't mix with each other. Qiao'er, are you ready for breakfast? ”

Liu Qiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, the servant will go and prepare it for you immediately." ”

Seeing Liu Qiao leave proudly, Shu Murong hurriedly led Li Yuanqing to sit down on the soft couch in the room, and obediently rubbed Li Yuanqing's shoulders.

Smelling the familiar aroma around him, Li Yuanqing's mind gradually relaxed a lot.

If you want to grasp the glory and wealth in front of you, you can only let yourself stand higher, go further, and firmly control your destiny in your own hands.

It was a little cold today, Shu Murong wore a slightly thick cloth skirt, and Li Yuanqing groped with his big hand for a while before reaching into her clothes.

After a while, Shu Murong's pretty face was already full of redness, and she seemed to be dripping water, so she whispered in Li Yuanqing's ear: "Master, let the servant serve you, right?" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "You're not afraid of being seen by Qiao'er?" ”

Shu Murong's delicate body was almost tired of Li Yuanqing, and her red lips were tightly pressed against Li Yuanqing's earlobe and said: "Master, the maid is not as good at serving people as that fox, so I can only serve the master well in this regard." ”

She said, lowered her voice again, and said, "Master, the rockery in the backyard is good, and the maid is willing to accompany the master to see the scenery over there......"

There is a rockery on Li Yuanqing's house, which is a place where Li Yuanqing often lingers.

It's just that Shu Murong gave birth to a daughter, and Li Yuanqing was busy outside most of the time, and it was difficult for her to rank up when she returned to the house.

At this time, seeing that Li Yuanqing's interest did not seem to be high, Shu Murong hurriedly made a 'killer move'.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, Shu Murong, a little girl, really understands a man's mind, although in the details of life, she is too far worse than Liu Qiao, but in these feelings ~ fun, Liu Qiao is by no means her opponent.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "It's okay." I've been in Haizhou for so many days, but I haven't taken a good look at the scenery here. The weather is nice today, let's go, let's go and have a look. ”

Shu Murong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Master, you wait a minute, the maid goes to get the umbrella." ”

Looking at Shu Murong's more and more charming and plump shadow, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show a trace of an indescribable smile.
