Chapter 422: One hundred thousand urgent

Dongjiang Town. **Fastest Update**

Phi Island.

Shang Kexi is supervising and directing the craftsmen to transform the warships in the dock, because the warships in Dongjiang Town are not the kind of big ships that can fight in the ocean, they are all small warships that can only go in the near sea and along the coast, so how to pick some of these small warships from the tonnage is just right, but they are relatively strong, this has become a problem, the ship is too big to drive, the ship is too small to put many guns, the quality of the ship is not good, and the ship will fall apart before the gun.

Fortunately, he fought and lived by the sea in Dongjiang Town, and there were a lot of boats, and there was still room to choose, so he wouldn't use any boat.

Peter also followed Shang Kexi to Phi Dao, who was in charge of the refit of the battleship, and was shaking a glass of wine, tasting it, and supervising the work of the craftsmen. If some problems are found, they will run over to negotiate with the craftsmen, but it is different for the monk to roll up his sleeves and work with the craftsmen.

"Hurry up, ...... that cannon quickly......" Shang Kexi commanded the craftsmen to sweat like rain.

Peter shook his head in the distance, and carefully tasted the wine in his hand, this wine glass, is a goblet made by Liulizhai, specially used to drink wine, is now the Ming officialdom, the latest popular thing, Peter is no exception, got a set, according to him, lived a life that the counts have never lived, this, Peter is quite satisfied, in the Ming Dynasty for the emperor's majesty, far more comfortable than being a colonial governor in the East India Company, and then think that once he helped the emperor win the war, then, There is no doubt that his identity and status will be even higher, and it is not impossible for him to lead a fleet to teach the Japanese people a lesson.

"Shang, don't be hands-on like that, as a supervisor, you should have your own place, come, take a rest......" Peter saw Shang Kexi coming sweating, and immediately prepared a drink for Shang Kexi.

Shang Kexi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Peter, there are still forty cannons that are not suitable for the ship, either the ship is too small, or the ship is too big, or it can't afford it......" Shang Kexi drank a large pot of tea in one gulp and said.

"Really? If you really can't do it, just pick a smaller ship and install a few more, it's the same......" Peter said directly without much thought.

"Hmm......" Shang Kexi was noncommittal, so he hummed. The two men had nothing to say and fell silent.

"Motoyoshi! Peter! A familiar shout surprised both of the silent men. This voice is obviously used by Lei Dayong, how did Lei Dayong come here? At the beginning, they divided labor, Shang Kexi and Peter returned to Phi Island, specifically responsible for supervising the transformation of warships, while Lei Dayong stayed at the mouth of the Yalu River, specifically responsible for monitoring the movement of the upstream, but unexpectedly, Lei Dayong actually ran to Phi Island in person, and he didn't know what happened.

"Dayong, why are you here?" Shang Kexi asked in surprise. Peter also put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Lei Dayong with a solemn face in surprise.

"Yuanji, Peter, this is not the place to speak, what about the war room? Hurry up, the situation is urgent...... "Lei Da replaced a trace of anxiety with a serious face, which made the two of them even more surprised!

The three of them soon came to the "war room", a large house with a sand table and a map.

"What the hell is going on, big use?" Shang Kexi asked anxiously. ##看小说必去##

"There is urgent news from Mr. Ma Qian upstream, the Tartars are now arresting people everywhere in North Korea, and if they arrest people, they will rush to Zhenjiang Fort, which is quite a lot, and it is estimated that it is thousands of ......" Lei Dayong said anxiously.

"This ......" Shang Kexi heard the news, and didn't come back to his senses for a while, how could this news be considered a hundred thousand urgent?

Peter also looked at Lei Dayong with a puzzled expression.

"You still don't understand? What are the Tartars doing when they cross the river? What are the Tartars doing when they catch people? ......" Lei Dayong was very thirsty, drank a large cup of tea, and said loudly.

Shang Kexi and Peter looked at each other, not knowing why.

“…… The Tartars dug a trench outside the Zhenjiang fort and captured so many people in North Korea that at night, the figures below were longing, and the city walls could not be seen realistically, and grenades were still not allowed to be released,...... According to the Tatars in North Korea, I am afraid that it will not be long before tens of thousands of people will be caught, and it will not be long before the grenades in Dashuai will be exhausted......," Lei Dayong said anxiously.

"This!!" Shang Kexi listened to Lei Dayong's analysis, and immediately understood why Lei Dayong said that the situation was urgent, and the defense of Zhenjiang Fort relied on grenades and firearms, and now the Tartars are digging trenches and arresting the Koreans, obviously to coerce the North Koreans to attack the city in order to consume the grenades and firearms of Zhenjiang Fort, so Zhenjiang Fort is really dangerous. ,

"What should I do? Useful, we need reinforcements immediately! Otherwise, Dashuai will really be in danger......" Shang Kexi said anxiously, already a little flustered.

"I also know about reinforcements, but now there is no water in the river, the river is too narrow, the Tartars are fighting for losses, and they are blocking the river with cavalry shooting, those small warships can't resist it, they can't go up at all, they have to go up to the big boats, but the water is not rising, and the big ships can't go up at all! Alas...... That's why I rushed to Phi Dao to discuss with you what to do when I see it! Lei Dayong said worriedly.

"This ......, we still have more than forty cannons here that can't find a suitable warship, and the others are remodeled and can go up at any time, but unfortunately, there is no water ......, this ......" Shang Kexi said anxiously. Without water, nothing can be done, even if they remodel their ships.

...... "The matter of artillery, it doesn't matter, I received the news, the fastest, tomorrow's reinforced fleet will arrive at the mouth of the Yalu River, you can pick a few suitable warships in those reinforced fleets, if you want to save face with the two of us, there should be no big problem......" Lei Dayong thought about it for a while, and said.

The situation faced by Zhenjiang Fort is nearly 100,000 urgent, and at a critical juncture, the Tartars are holding so many Koreans to attack the city, and the consumption of grenades and firearms must be amazing, once the grenades are exhausted, they can only fight for their lives, and Zhenjiang Fort is only a few thousand people?

Once Zhenjiang Fort can't support it, it will fall immediately, Zhenjiang Fort will fall, what they do will be meaningless, the thousands of miles of battle arranged by the emperor will collapse immediately, this will be another big victory over the Ming Dynasty after the Tartars after Salhu, it is undoubtedly a considerable blow to the morale of the Ming Dynasty, and it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the prestige of the emperor. If this battle fails, the emperor and their Dongjiang Town will undoubtedly be big losers, and he can't afford to lose.

“…… This time, no matter what, we have to think of a way, the Tartars are already arresting people, and soon they will coerce the North Koreans to attack the city, and the marshal is afraid that it won't last long......" Lei Dayong said anxiously. &&&Latest Chapter Baidu Search:&&

“…… Once Zhenjiang Fort is breached, His Majesty's hard work will be over, and the entire arrangement will be ruined. I can't afford to lose again......" Lei Dayong said anxiously with a worried face, gradually explaining the urgency of the news.

In the "war room", there was silence, the meaning of this news has been very clear, the urgency of this news, with 100,000 urgency, is not too much, implicated in the results of the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern War, its involvement is so wide that it is no longer within the reach of the two of them, the victory or defeat is in these few days, so, what should I do next?

There was silence for a while, and no one said a word.

"Peter, when is it going to rain?" Shang Kexi couldn't help but ask Peter, the preparations for support, they have almost prepared, just wait for the rain, wait for the river to rise, if there is no water in the river, then so many preparations will be in vain, reinforcements can't go up, the fall of Zhenjiang Fort is only a matter of time, and it is likely to fall in a very short time, and the Tartars will not spare the lives of the Koreans.

Peter sat there solemnly, as if thinking about the question, and when he heard Shang Kexi ask him, he came back to his senses and said: "I still have to ask those who are familiar with the weather about this matter, and I will not know ...... until I ask them, but according to the records, there will generally be rain in October, and the water will generally rise, and it is almost the third week of October, at least we have not seen precipitation before, then, in the next two weeks, there will be precipitation, unless ......, unless God does not help us, so that there will be no rain throughout October." ......" said Peter, for he did not dare to pack his ticket for such a thing as a weather forecast, and that the two lads would pluck his skin if it did not rain.

“…… I know that there is a high possibility of rain in October, but Dashuai may not be able to last two weeks, don't you know? The Tartars have already arrested people everywhere, and the Tartars have coerced so many Koreans to attack the city, and the grenades in Dashuai's place are even more insufficient, you know? …… You have to get rain as soon as possible, and you have to get water up as soon as possible...... Must ......" Shang Kexi shouted silently, and at the end of his words, it was almost gibberish. ,

Peter smiled helplessly and bitterly, he is not God, regardless of the rain.

"Okay, Yuanji, don't blame Peter, he can't control the rain, now the Tartars have just begun to arrest people, and there is still some time before a large number of Koreans attack the city, no matter what, Dashuai can still support it for a few days, besides, our reinforcements will arrive at the mouth of the Yalu River tomorrow, and we can go to Phi Island the day after tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, we can go up the river, it's really not good, let's go ashore in Linjiang Village, even if the water does not rise, the big boat can go anywhere, but there are still more than ten miles of Zhenjiang Fort there, It's up to us to fight......" Lei Dayong was in front of the sand table, thought for a long time, and heard Shang Kexi talking nonsense in a hurry, so he immediately took over the conversation and pointed to a place on the sand table with a small stick and said.

Shang Kexi and Peter hurriedly followed the direction pointed by Lei Dayong, this place is Linjiang Village on the Yalu River, starting from this place, the water of the Yalu River quickly widened and deepened, from a river surface of hundreds of steps to a river surface of thousands of steps, there is such a wide river surface, enough for a large ship to sail, which is also the reason why Lei Dayong said so.

"Well, Dayong, if it doesn't rain by then, then we can only go ashore in this place......" Shang Kexi blushed, and said word by word, if you go ashore in this place at that time, there is no doubt that the road from Linjiang Village to Zhenjiang Fort will be a road paved with blood, and you have to pile up corpses, and the supply team will suffer huge losses.

On the water, the Tartar is undoubtedly not good, but on land, if you want to compete with the Tartar, thunder is of great use, Shang Kexi No one has this kind of courage, no one has this kind of confidence. The failure of reinforcing Zhenjiang Fort means that the fall of Zhenjiang Fort and the fall of Zhenjiang Fort means that His Majesty the Emperor's layout has failed, and it means that the war on the thousands of miles of front has failed.

Shang Kexi and Lei Dayong, both of their faces were terribly red.

"Two, I'm going to ask if it will rain in the next few days, if I can be sure that it will rain in the next few days, then it would be great, if not, then we will find a way." Peter was frightened by the terrible faces of the two men, and made an excuse to go out.

Peter went out, but Lei Dayong and Shang Kexi ignored him.

The situation is already critical.

"Three days at most, three days later, if it doesn't rain, then, I have to go up with reinforcements, go to Linjiang Village first, if it doesn't rain, go ashore, even if I die, I have to climb to Zhenjiang Fort......" Lei Dayong was under tremendous pressure, and there was no good way but to prepare for the worst.

"Okay, I'm going to gather more brothers in Dongjiang Town, gather more warships, plus there will be warships and merchant ships to transport supplies at that time, let's pull up all the brothers who can be pulled, all of them will be transported to Linjiang Village, and fight to the death with the Tartars......" Shang Kexi's bright red face was hideous and terrifying, and he suffered from tremendous pressure, thinking of fighting to the death.

…… Zhenjiang Fort.

It's almost dusk.

Zhang Heng stood on the city wall, holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking at it from a distance, in the distance, a team of people came towards the Yalu River, Zhang Heng adjusted the clairvoyant mirror and wiped the lens of the clairvoyant, hoping that he would look more carefully.

"Staff Officer Zhang, what's the situation?" When Mao Wenlong received the news, he also went up to the city wall to observe the situation, and saw that Staff Officer Zhang was observing, so he immediately came over and asked.

"Dashuai, the situation is not good!" Zhang Heng frowned and said lightly.

"What's the wrong way?" Mao Wenlong asked, his eyes fixed on the already blurry river crossing procession, the sky was already dark, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Dashuai, it's time to test Zhenjiang Fort!" Zhang Heng frowned and said calmly.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Mao Wenlong asked, the situation in the distance was no longer clear, and it was shrouded in night.

"Dashuai, according to the observation of the lower officials, these people are the Korean people captured by the Tartars, looking at the number of people, it is estimated to be around thousands, judging from the number of Tartars who have returned, the Tartars have also come back a small number, that is to say, there are more Tartars arresting people on the Korean side, Dashuai, if at night, the Tartars coerce the Koreans to attack the city, can we tell? Or simply attack the city during the day, what can we do? Zhang Heng said lightly. ,

"This ......" Mao Wenlong's brows furrowed, Zhang Heng's words were enough to make him understand the danger of the matter, a large number of North Koreans participated in the siege of the city, no matter how many Tartars were inside, they did not fight back, and had to still use grenades, then, with the large number of North Koreans, the Tartars could quickly consume the grenades of Zhenjiang Fort, and the grenades of Zhenjiang Fort had already been consumed by more than half.

At the head of the city, there was a silent silence, and at the last moment? It's a mouth! It's already here. Mao Wenlong looked at the red clouds in the sky, and seemed to have understood something in his heart.

…… Hwang Tae-gil also stood on the hillside, holding a clairvoyant mirror, watching the North Koreans crossing the river in the distance.

"O Kendoukou! Your method is really good, so many Koreans, we can attack the city day and night, thinking that Mao Wenlong must not be able to distinguish the authenticity, he must still die with grenades, hehehe, once the grenades are exhausted, we will capture Zhenjiang Fort, it will not be difficult! Huang Taiji watched a group of North Koreans cross the river in the distance and said happily.

"Great Khan! This is what Wen Cheng should do......" Fan Wencheng rode a horse, followed behind Huang Taiji, and whispered.

"Hehehe, Xiandou is really the Zhuge mouth of this Khan! As soon as this plan comes out, Mao Wenlong has no way to live! "Huang Taiji is in a pretty good mood, this siege of Zhenjiang Fort can be regarded as a seventy or eighty percent certainty, just wait for those Koreans to consume the grenades of Zhenjiang Fort, and then the war can end, killing Mao Wenlong is undoubtedly a considerable victory.

"The Great Khan has won the prize...... Fan Wencheng said.

"......, Xiandou doesn't need to be so modest, this sentence, Xiandou deserves to speak! …… By the way, what happened to Mao Wenlong's warships in the lower reaches of the Yalu River? Huang Taiji asked again, last time, the warship of Zhenjiang Fort directly collided with his team crossing the river on the river, which gave Huang Taiji a deep impression, that kind of power is by no means something that can be resisted by manpower, so there is today's question.

"Back to the Great Khan, Wen Cheng has already asked, Mao Wenlong's warships, now at most can only go to Linjiang Village, the river surface after Linjiang Village, it will immediately widen and deepen, our Dajin's cavalry, can no longer reach the warship, therefore, Mao Wenlong's warships, most of them are gathered below Linjiang Village, and from time to time they come up for a while, because the river is narrow, they were quickly beaten back by my Dajin......" Fan Wencheng replied, blockading the river with cavalry is a last resort, fighting with people and warships, this is not a good thing, Although the blockade of the river allows Daikin to calmly cross the river and transport the North Koreans upstream, it also pays a lot of price, of course, this price, now it seems that it is worth it.

"Hehe, that's good, as long as there are a few more days, after the North Koreans have grasped enough, the blockade of the river will not be so urgent, but it can be slowed down, these days, it can only be like this......" Huang Taiji said with a smile, looking at the North Koreans who kept crossing the river in the distance, as if victory was already in sight.

"Great Khan, Wen Cheng has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not......" Fan Wencheng was always a little uneasy in his heart, where did this uneasiness come from, vaguely, he never touched it, but that kind of uneasiness told him that there was danger.

"Oh, hehe, Xiandou just say, what can't you and my monarchs say?" Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"Great Khan, Wen Cheng always felt a little uneasy in his heart, maybe Wen Cheng's plan was a little missing, but Wen Chen never found anything missing...... "Fan Wencheng still said the uneasiness in his heart.

"Oh, this ......" Huang Taiji asked suspiciously, not knowing what Fan Wencheng meant by telling him this now.

"Great Khan, Wen Cheng means that this group of Koreans, the Great Khan does not need to be compassionate, everything is based on capturing Zhenjiang For......t as soon as possible, Wen Cheng has always been in a trance in his heart, feeling that this battle cannot be delayed for a long time, the sooner the better......" Although Fan Wencheng did not figure out what was going on, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
