Chapter 193: Chrysanthemum ......

~~~~~~

The old slave started from burning, killing and looting, from a small Jianzhou to the current overlord outside the Guanwai, and has quite rich experience in warfare. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hou Jin Nanding, from the age of 10, has to go through various military training, relying on war to sharpen and grow.

Therefore, in the Houjin Army, whether it is a high-level general or a grassroots soldier, the war quality is far superior to that of the Ming army by several times.

In front of you, on the periphery of the Houjin camp, there is a layer of sparse wooden fences, some long and some short, most of which are pine and cypress, which are mainly durable hardwoods.

Inside, there is a buffer of about ten meters, and there are many dilapidated small tents set up in twos and threes, which should be the dwellings of grooms and handymen, and a dozen steps further in, this is the stables and hay piles.

There are many horses and livestock in the Houjin war, when marching and fighting, the transportation capacity must exceed the Ming army several times, and there are many slaves of various ethnic groups, the same camp size, the Ming army needs 100,000 people to build, and the Houjin army may only need 20,000 people.

In normal times, without the help of heavy rain, it would be almost impossible to get close to such a defensive camp.

At this time, the location of Li Yuanqing and the others was exactly between the two corner towers, and the distance leading to the two sides was about 100 steps.

Xu Heizi climbed to the front of the fence, carefully investigated, and quickly returned, and said in a low voice: "General, it is raining heavily today, and we don't have much time." It's not difficult to make an opening in the fence, so let's go straight in. ”

Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

The raindrops 'crackled' on the ground, the sound was very loud, and the Jin army was a tent after that, and the raindrops hit the tents, and the noise was even louder, as long as it was not a big move, the people inside were difficult to detect the strangeness outside, and the only thing that needed to be careful was the two corner towers nearby.

Wealth is only sought in danger.

At this time, in such a state, it was too late for Li Yuanqing to think carefully, he shook Xu Heizi's big hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, I believe in you." How sure you are, let's do it. ”

Xu Heizi was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly, "General, without further ado, let's act immediately." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's all close." Don't be reckless. ”

Soon, Xu Heizi took the lead in crawling under the fence, took out a small shovel, and dug up quickly.

These fences look tight from a distance, but when you get closer, you can see clearly, because of the different terrain, and there are many differences in them.

Xu Heizi dug a few times, and then found the root, he carefully took down a fence, put it next to it and erected it, waved his hand to the people behind him, and took the lead in getting into the gap.

In this state, everything is scattered on each soldier, and it is impossible to transport it over with a few people, Li Yuanqing did not hesitate for a moment, followed Xu Heizi closely, and quickly climbed to the camp of the Houjin army.

Behind him, Zhang Pan did not hesitate and quickly climbed in.

Seeing that the two main generals are like this, how can the soldiers behind them hesitate? Like loaches, fish rush in.

The ground under him was a mixture of sand and mud, soft and muddy, and it was easy to get stuck if you walked up, but as you crawled forward, the surface area of your body in contact with the ground suddenly became much larger, and although the journey was difficult, it was not too much of a problem.

Soon, the crowd crossed a few small tents and came to the stables and haystacks.

Watching Xu Heizi take a few people to work under the hay pile in front of him, Zhang Pan said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, this rain is so heavy, I'm afraid the hay pile won't burn." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, most of the hay piles are fresh grass, very wet, even if the weather is good, if there is not enough ignite, it is not easy to light, but Li Yuanqing's goal is not limited to one time and one place, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, don't worry." Let's take it one step at a time. ”

Li Yuanqing said, carefully untied the oilcloth bag on his back and put it in front of him.

Although Zhang Pan was anxious, he didn't want to ask too much, so he hurriedly did the same, and also untied the oilcloth bag on his back and put it in front of him.

Soon, Xu Heizi was already busy with 3 hay piles, he quickly climbed back and said in a low voice: "It's not easy to get in inside." Let's go get the stables. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "You go and get busy, we'll give you a hand." ”

Xu Heizi nodded hurriedly, and with a few people, he quickly came to the stable here.

Zhang Pan also understood what Li Yuanqing meant at this time, burning the hay pile was obviously not as effective as directly frying the horses, but there were so many stables, and there were so many people on his side, how could he be busy?

Li Yuanqing didn't have time to explain to Zhang Pan, and commanded the soldiers around him in a low voice, and quickly wrapped the oilcloth and handed it over to Xu Heizi.

About half an hour later, Xu Heizi had already laid out a little bit in several places, pulled a thick line the thickness of a baby's arm with an oilcloth, and said a little excitedly: "General, it's almost." We need to get out of here. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Don't worry, we'll wait for you later." ”

Xu Heizi was even more moved, nodded emphatically, and carefully led the thick line outside.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, crackling and smashing on the ground, the whole world is full of rain and fog, and the temperature is afraid that it will drop by more than ten degrees.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone had already exited the Houjin army camp and came to 20 steps away, and Xu Heizi also led the line here.

Zhang Pan was not confident at this time, and said in a hurry: "Yuanqing, let's order?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Zhang, come with your own hands." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Pan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay." Then you're welcome. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took the flint from his own soldier and lit it carefully.

It's a pity that I may be too nervous, and I wiped the plate a few times, but I didn't light it and cremate.

Xu Heizi hurriedly took out a small oilcloth bag from his arms, carefully cared for it under his body, and slowly opened it, there were some dry cotton wool inside, and he carefully handed it to Zhang Pan, "General Zhang, light this first, let's block the wind here." ”

Zhang Pan instantly understood what Xu Heizi meant, and hurriedly aimed at the cotton wool with a flint, carefully wiped it a few times, and sure enough, the cotton wool was led, he carefully cared for the small flame and lit the fuse.

In an instant, the lead of "rubbing" was like a rapid fire snake, quickly spreading towards the Houjin camp.

Li Yuanqing dared to hesitate and shouted, "Brothers, retreat quickly." ”

As he spoke, he quickly crawled behind him.

Everyone also reacted and quickly crawled behind them.

As soon as he climbed out of a dozen steps, there was a sudden 'boom' behind him, and the sand and gravel rain splashed, and Li Yuanqing and the others were already sixty or seventy steps away, and they were also affected.

"I'm a mother, this baby is so fierce?" Zhang Pan instinctively wanted to look back.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly pressed his head and said in a low voice: "Be careful! Get down on your stomach. Don't mess around. ”

Before the words fell, there was a continuous roar behind him, there were seven or eight sounds, the earth seemed to tremble, and the inexplicable grains of sand and mud, accompanied by the rain, slammed towards everyone overwhelmingly.

Behind him, the Houjin camp has exploded.

"Enemy attack."

"Enemy Attack ------"

Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, all kinds of tones are mixed, people are shouting, smoke is rising, fires are rising, and there is chaos.

Zhang Pan touched the mud on his face hard, and wanted to look back, Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, look back, let's go to the beach first." ”

As he spoke, he got up and ran to the beach first.

Seeing a faint figure in the Houjin camp rushing towards this side, Zhang Pan reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Sons, retreat quickly." ”

The group didn't have time to think about anything else, so they ran wildly towards the east.

It wasn't until they ran out of more than 2 miles, came to the beach, and got on the warship that Guan Canghai came to meet them, that everyone dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Pan hurriedly washed his face, threw his wet clothes on the place, and said to Li Yuanqing with great reluctance: "Yuanqing, what did you pull me just now." I didn't even see how we were doing tonight. ”

Li Yuanqing also stripped naked, and the soldiers handed over the new clothes to dry, Li Yuanqing put them on in twos and threes, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, what's the hurry." We'll know tomorrow when the rain stops. You see, there's a Tartar chasing after you. ”

Zhang Pan hurriedly turned around and looked behind him, only to see that there were seven or eight hundred Tartars, who had already rushed to the beach, and they all opened their bows and arrows, and scolded the warships in the sea.

Zhang Pan couldn't help laughing, "These stupid Tartars of the dog days, running so slowly, still want to chase Lao Tzu?" ”

As he spoke, he understood, and couldn't help laughing, "Tonight, this rain is not in vain." ”

…………

The group had just returned to Arthur City, the sky had already brightened, and the rain was a little lighter than before, but there was still no sign of stopping.

Chen Zhong couldn't wait any longer and came to the south gate to greet everyone.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing and Zhang Pan were all fine, Chen Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "Bring wine and warm up the children." ”

The two jars of wine could not be kept, and they were soon drunk by the people.

A small half bowl of white wine went down to the stomach, although there was not much, but there was heat rising in the chest and abdomen, and everyone's faces were much better.

Zhang Pan smiled, "Lao Chen, Yuan Qing and I didn't see the scene at that time, you are in the city, you should have seen it, right?" ”

Chen Zhong couldn't help but smile, "Wonderful, very exciting." ”

Zhang Pan's heart couldn't help but be even bigger, "What is the situation?" Tell me about it. ”

Looking at the cheerful smiling faces of everyone around him, Li Yuanqing's expression was also a lot more relaxed.

Last night, even if it did not cause too large-scale damage to the Houjin army, it must have been a big blow to their morale, and coupled with this continuous rain, it was difficult for the Houjin army's offensive to continue.

instructed the soldiers to let the firefighters boil some hot soup to ward off the cold for the sons and daughters of the battle, and Li Yuanqing finally had time to sleep well.

…………

By the time Li Yuanqing woke up, it was already afternoon, and the soldiers had already prepared a meal, a big bowl of steaming beef soup.

After eating and drinking, Li Yuanqing came to the city, and Zhang Pan had just gotten up, stretching his waist and yawning.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Zhang Pan couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, look, look over there." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhang Pan's finger and looked at the Houjin camp.

At this time, the rain was much lighter, like a bead line, and although the sky was a little overcast, the visibility was very high.

In the direction of the Houjin army camp, there was a lot of noise, the flow of people was surging, constantly going back and forth, and in the east direction, there was faint black smoke rising.

Although they can't see the details, it is obvious that they have not yet dealt with the impact of last night's explosion.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, at this time, the old slave's face must be very exciting, I don't know that the unlucky slave is going to be unlucky again.

Although Li Yuanqing doesn't like the old slave's chrysanthemums, it is undeniable that this method is direct and the most effective......

"Huh. Brother Zhang, today, is there a messenger coming over from Houjin's side? ”
