Although Mang Gurtai is unruly, he is very convinced of him, the eighth brother. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

From childhood to adulthood, Huang Taiji has solved a lot of troubles for him, and he is a brother, so there are always some plots in his heart to protect the child.

At this time, hearing what Huang Taiji said, the anger in Mang Gurtai's heart disappeared slightly, and he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Eighth brother, the forage is gone, and our war horses will be hungry." Do you have a good idea? ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile, he understood very well that forage is a trivial matter, and the death and injury of hundreds of Han Army Banner soldiers is also a trivial matter, and what really makes his fifth brother unable to let go is a big matter of face.

After all, as Nurhachi's descendant bloodline, Mang Gurtai is also a strong contender for the position of Houjin Khan.

Different from the 'Iron Hat King' who was raised in captivity by the Manchus in later generations, Nurhachi's bloodline, which can be said to be heroic, is the most trusted subordinate and support of the old slave, and has made countless contributions to the establishment, growth, and expansion of Houjin.

"When the fodder is gone, we can mobilize it again. But this Zhenjiang City must be taken at an accelerated pace. Let people like Mao Wenlong live in this world, maybe they will really become a threat to my Dajin. ”

Huang Taiji said in the end, his eyes were cold and fierce, and Mang Gurtai was also surprised. He understood that with the eighth brother's eyes, someone must be unlucky.

"Eighth brother, do you have a good plan to break the city?"

Huang Taiji smiled faintly, but looked at Dai Shan, "Second brother, how to break the city, you still need to get an idea." ”

Dai Shan's biological mother is the original partner of the old slave, the concubine Tong Chunxiu, he has the deepest relationship with the Tong family, and Zhenjiang is the territory of the Tong family, plus he is the head of the four Baylors, Huang Taiji's question contains many meanings.

Dai Shan opened his eyes slightly, "Although Zhenjiang City has only been captured by Mao Wenlong for two months, looking at its fortifications, it is tight and orderly, stable and not chaotic, if you want to attack it, it is really unwise." And inside Mao Wenlong in Zhenjiang, the skeleton is all promoted by soldiers, and it may be difficult to separate from each other. What I mean, we still need to work steadily, bulldoze and fill in the ditch, and push forward slowly, not impatiently. ”

Da Baylor, who is worthy of being the oldest senior, did not have other emotions because of his mother's relatives, his analysis was reasonable, and Huang Taiji nodded again and again.

Even Amin and Mang Gultai also nodded in agreement.

These people, although they are arrogant and arrogant, and no one obeys anyone, but they have all followed the old slave to fight in the north and south since they were young, and they almost grew up on horseback, and their understanding of war is deeper than anyone else.

Although Houjin was powerful at this time, they were more cautious in the face of the hard bone of Zhenjiang City.

Mang Gurtai said: "In this case, what are we waiting for? I will start filling the soil today, I want to see, what is this Mao Wenlong? ”

…………

Since the afternoon, there has been movement on the Houjin camp.

Countless Han civilians who had been captured in the course of the fighting on the northern front, under the watchful eye of groups of Han soldiers, began to fill in the first line of defense on the periphery of Zhenjiang City.

At the head of Zhenjiang City, Li Yuanqing watched this scene quietly, his expression was indescribably solemn. What he feared most happened anyway.

Just like the Chinese national football team, against the Brazilian team, if the opponent does not make a fatal mistake, the national football team will not have a chance at all.

To be more direct, even if the opponent makes a fatal mistake, the national football team may still have a chance.

This is the difference in strength.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing's hard work last night did not provoke the anger of the Houjin army, they still maintained enough calm and adopted the safest method.

On the side of Zhenjiang City, there is no powerful long-range strike weapon at all, and it cannot go out of the city to fight, so it can only watch the Houjin army fill in the soil like this, without the slightest way.

This has entered the rhythm of slow death, but there is nothing there is to change it.

On the side, Chen Zhong's face was not good-looking, and he spat fiercely, "These dog tartars who kill a thousand knives." ”

Not long after, Mao Wenlong got the news and rushed to Beicheng, seeing the scene of the Houjin army, his face was indescribably cold. All the officers around him also had solemn faces.

From Quang Ninh all the way to here, the military quality of all officers has also been greatly improved, and they will not fail to see that Jiannu is encroaching on their own living space step by step.

Once the bulldozing is under the city, it will be the time when the great war breaks out.

But even if he knew this, Zhenjiang didn't have much to do.

If you rashly go out of the city to meet the enemy at this time, it is likely that there will only be one result, and this is probably what Houjin wants to see the most......

For a moment, the atmosphere above the city was as silent as stagnant water.

Mao Wenlong seemed to be ten years old in an instant.

At this time, everyone no longer dared to have the heart of underestimating the enemy, and finally understood why~~, the Houjin army was able to sweep through Liaodi.

After a while, Mao Wenlong said: "Go back to the official hall to discuss matters." ”

"Yes." Only then did the officers come back to their senses and hurriedly kowtow and say yes.

…………

But at this time, this state, the congenital conditions are already doomed, which can no longer be made up for with acquired efforts, no matter how you discuss it, even if Zhuge Kongming is alive, I am afraid that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'.

Mao Wenlong could only appease the officers and encourage the army, appease the people in the city, and give the Houjin army a battle first, and then see the specific situation.

When Li Yuanqing returned to the North Gate station, it was already evening, and at this time, under the action of the crowd of the Houjin army, they had already filled the first trench on the edge of the forest, and were slowly advancing towards the wilderness on this side of the city.

Chen Zhong had already thought about it at this time, "Yuanqing, afraid of a bird?" It's all two thighs supporting the body and head. If the Tartars dare to come, I will make them pay the price of blood. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, but at this time, he didn't have much of a mood to greet Chen Zhong, "Brother Chen, if the Tartar is going to be pushed over, I'm afraid it will take a day or two, I didn't sleep well today, I'll go to the rest meeting." ”

Chen Zhong looked at Li Yuanqing with concern, "Yuanqing, you worked hard last night, go and rest." I'll just keep an eye on it. ”

At this time, all members of Li Yuanqing's department were stationed in the North Gate Defense Line, and several houses on the North Gate side were requisitioned as temporary stations and command centers.

Li Yuanqing returned to his room, Caizi was busy cooking, she was making scrambled eggs with green vegetables, and when she saw Li Yuanqing coming back, she couldn't help but be happy, "Master, are you back?" Wait a minute, the dish will be ready in no time. ”

Watching Caizi's shadow go to the kitchen outside the door to stir-fry, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

As the ancients said, 'If a man is not for himself, the heavens and the earth will perish'.

The world is so beautiful, and you can't throw your precious life in this cage-like shackle.

After a simple dinner, let Caizi go to rest, Li Yuanqing recruited his own soldiers and called Shang Lao Liu and Xu Heizi to come to the meeting.

At this time, in such a state, the Ming army is full of infantry, and there are only a few cavalry, if you break through the siege strongly, it is difficult to have a chance of winning in the face of the almost invincible Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

The north, west and south sides of Zhenjiang City have been burned by Li Yuanqing's fire, and only the east, adjacent to the Yalu River, is the only way to survive.

It's just that in such a state, if you want to rush out of the east and reach the riverside, if there are only a few people, it shouldn't be difficult, but if you command more than 1,000 people, this goal is too big, and Houjin must not let Li Yuanqing's sons and daughters break through.

Fortunately, last night's night attack on the camp gave Li Yuanqing a lot of inspiration.

Not long after, Shang Lao Liu and Xu Heizi both came to the room, and at this time, their faces were not good-looking.

"Your Excellency." The two respectfully saluted Li Yuanqing and stood on the left and right respectively.

"What do you two think about this battle?" Li Yuanqing's tone was very soft, he couldn't hear too many waves, after the initial fear and despair, now, he was extremely calm.

Shang Lao Liu and Li Yuanqing were close, coupled with the tacit understanding of Xu Heizi last night, Shang Lao Liu also regarded Xu Heizi as his own person, so he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Yuanqing, the Houjin army is strong, and it is so steady and steady, the morale of the army on our side has declined, this is by no means a long-term solution." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, but did not speak, and looked at Xu Heizi again.

Xu Heizi listened to Shang Lao Liu's words, his black face became even more dignified, he considered it again and again, and then said: "My lord, I also agree with Brother Shang's meaning, if you sit still and wait to be killed, it is definitely not the work of a wise man." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and actually swept the eyes of the two of them, "If, from here, to dig a tunnel leading to the riverside, how long will it take?" ”

Shang Lao Liu and Xu Heizi were both stunned, they never expected Li Yuanqing to actually come up with this idea, this, this is a bit crazy.

Shang Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, it's not impossible to dig a tunnel, it's just that there is at least four or five miles from here to the riverside, even if we don't lack manpower, but if we want to complete it, I'm afraid, it will definitely not be possible without ten days and a half months." ”

Xu Heizi also said: "My lord, it has just rained heavily in the past few days, the ground is muddy, the ground is wet, the soil layer by the river is probably not very strong, if you want to dig the tunnel, you must dig very deep, which will waste a lot of time and strength, I'm afraid, it will be ...... at that time."

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven.

has reached this point, Zhenjiang Department really has no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, and has completely become the fat meat on the side of Houjin's mouth.

If the matter really reached the point where it could no longer be recovered, Li Yuanqing could only be ruthless and fled with a few henchmen.

However, as long as there is a point of hope, Li Yuanqing does not want to give up and give up so many good sons, his siblings.

But at this time, Shang Lao Liu and Xu Heizi had already interrupted Li Yuanqing's idea from a technical level at this time.

Li Yuanqing paced back and forth, his brows furrowed.

Shang Lao Liu and Xu Heizi didn't dare to come out, and kept quiet enough that they didn't dare to interrupt Li Yuanqing's thoughts.

After a long time, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled, "It's not a way for us to do this behind closed doors." Let's go and have a look at the city. ”

…………

The night was already completely dark, and Li Yuanqing took Shang Lao Liu, Xu Heizi and more than a dozen personal soldiers to the junction between the north wall and the east wall.

At this time, the main defensive forces of Zhenjiang City were gathered in the north, west and south, and the east side was full of tidal flats and swamps because it was adjacent to the riverside, and in the east, only Wang Fu commanded the total number of troops to defend it.

Li Yuanqing came here, and Liu Changan, the chief officer under Wang Fu, hurriedly came over to say hello.

The eastern front is just the same, so Liu Chang'an's department has always been at the junction of the north wall and the east wall, and Wang Fu's order to him is that if there is a fierce battle in the north, the troops under his command can be used as reserves and new forces to rescue the northern front in time.

After a few words of greeting with Liu Changan and sending him to rest, Li Yuanqing stood a little lonely by the battlement of the east wall, looking at the scene in the east.

Under the light of the moon, the majestic Yalu River, like a silver bond shining with silver light, flows slowly to the south.

On this side of the riverbank, there are continuous tidal flats and swamps, and an official road that is not too wide stretches to the wharf by the river.

It was originally a beautiful wetland with lush reeds and flourishing grass, and it was a popular habitat for many birds.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing's fire has completely destroyed the ecological environment here.

At this time, as far as the eye can see, there is a piece of ashes left behind by the fire, which is incompatible with the majestic Yalu River.
