Chapter 424: The Wind Rises

Zhenjiang Fort was shrouded in night, and a piece of fire exploded from time to time, illuminating this world slightly.

Zhang Heng couldn't remember how many times the Tartars had attacked the city, and he didn't remember how many days it was, he only knew that he was very tired, and took advantage of the gap between the Tartars' sieges to take a nap against the city wall.

"My lord, the Tartars are attacking the city." A personal entourage on the side immediately woke Zhang Heng up.

Zhang Heng woke up violently and immediately began to observe the situation under the city.

"Ermáo, prepare to still grenade......" Zhang Heng shouted loudly without thinking about it. There are not many grenades in Zhenjiang Fort, and they will not throw grenades casually unless they have to, and those who can throw grenades are all two máo These grenades are jīng soldiers, and the grenades they throw are quasi-head and foot, which can effectively stop the Tartars, so they have become a timely rain for emergency relief, and they will rush wherever they are needed.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

There was a sound of grenade explosions, and the grenades that exploded in the middle of the siege easily defused the siege, and the Tartars simply retreated, leaving only some corpses, as if they did not hesitate.

Zhang Heng saw the Tartar retreating, and immediately rested against the city wall. In the past few days, the non-stop siege of the city has made the people of Zhenjiang Fort tired, and no one will have a chance to take a nap.

Zhang Heng sat under the city saucer, closed his eyes, and began to rest, these days, the North Koreans captured by the Tartars, who were sleepless and rushed to Zhenjiang Fort, used to consume the grenades of Zhenjiang Fort, especially at this kind of night, true and false siege of the city, the people on Zhenjiang Fort had no choice but to use grenades to consume the people below.

Zhang Heng half-closed his eyes, calculating the hour in his heart, why is it not dawn yet? It stands to reason that at this time of the day, the sky should be bright, and if the day is dawn, the Tartars will not be so arrogant in attacking the city, and they can take a nap a little, instead of this, they will not sleep for half a moment, and they will make noise to attack the city.

Well, the wind is blowing? Zhang Heng stretched out his hand to touch the darkness, in the dark, there was obviously a different taste from Zhenjiang Fort, and a cool wind blew the human brain.

Zhang Heng stood up violently.

Forget that this is a battlefield, forget the rule that you can't stand up in battle. This cold wind blowing from nowhere made Zhang Heng forgetful.

"It's going to rain?" Zhang Heng muttered to himself.

"My lord, xiǎo heart" The relatives around him immediately pulled Zhang Heng down, this kind of action of standing up straight, on the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, it is strictly forbidden to have him, stand up straight, the head will come out, there is an archer with a Tartar outside, and if you don't xiǎo heart, the head will be shè dòng, open a groove.

Zhang Heng came to his senses, squatted down very cooperatively, and smiled stupidly in the dark: "Hehe, the wind is blowing, the wind is blowing."

More cool cold wind poured into Zhenjiang Fort from the darkness, making this already exhausted Zhenjiang Fort feel vibrating.

……

Houjin Daying.

"It's going to rain" Huang Taiji looked up at the sky, the dark sky couldn't see anything at all, only the explosion sound from time to time on the side of Zhenjiang Fort would illuminate a trace of the sky, and before it was time to observe, the glimmer of light was gone.

"Great sweat, it's going to rain when the wind is blowing" The cool wind blew the entire darkness, and Fan Wencheng, who was aware of it, immediately rushed to the sweat tent, and the wind was rising, indicating that it was about to rain, and if it rained, the battle situation would change.

"What does Xiandou think of this rain, is it good or bad for my big kin?" Huang Taiji frowned and asked, if it rains, it will obviously be bad for Dajin, but although he knows, Huang Taiji still asks his adviser.

"Back to the Great Khan, if it rains, it is not good for my Dajin siege, it rains, there will be water in the trench, the trench can no longer be used, if you want to get close to the city wall, it is estimated that it is impossible during the day, it is in the middle of October, the sky is already cold, it has been rained, it has been rained, and it is easy to get sick, and Zhenjiang Fort has no problems, so this rain is very unfavorable to my Dajin" Fan Wencheng thought about it and said, this unusual cold wind blew, obviously, it was going to rain.

"It's already mid-October, huh? Xiandou doesn't say, Ben Khan should be the first month, at this time of the year, it should be snowing in Mobei and Khalkha, why is this Zhenjiang Fort still so warm? If it weren't for the sudden cold wind, Ben Khan would have almost forgotten that it was already mid-October......" Huang Taiji stretched out his hand, felt the cool breeze in the dark, and asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, Great Khan, at this time in previous years, it has begun to snow in Mobei and the sea here, so it is estimated that it is not the same as Mobei, and it is estimated that this cold wind blew today, and after a rain, it will be cold." Fan Wencheng listened to Huang Taiji's words and also said. ,

It's snowing on one side, and it's still so warm on the other hand, this different weather makes Huang Taiji suspicious, it's hard to understand, the sea? Yes, the sea, this place is close to the sea, so it is different from Mobei, Huang Taiji thought sullenly, perhaps, he missed something.

"Then according to the meaning of Xiandou, what should I do now with Dajin? Once it rains, the roads are muddy, and the trenches are flooded, there is no way to attack the city," Huang Taiji said sullenly.

"Great Khan ,......"

……

The cold wind that suddenly blew up also blew to the mouth of the Yalu River.

Smelling this different cold wind, Shang Kexi ran to the deck like crazy, shouting: "Wind, wind, rain......"

On the deck, Lei Dayong, Peter and others also came out, and this cold wind blew in the darkness, and it was obvious that the weather was about to change, that is, it was going to rain, and it had been hot for so long, and the weather that had been warm for so long was going to change.

"Shang, I didn't lie to you, I said, there will be rain in the next few days......" Peter was finally relieved, no more wind, no more rain, he was probably going to be pulled by Shang Kexi's neck.

"Hahaha...... yes, Peter is really good, and now, it's really going to rain, so are we going to act according to the original plan?" Shang Kexi laughed and said, the original plan was to start when it rained, and if it didn't rain, then it would have to take another path.

"Yuanji, it's still night, wait for dawn, gather everyone, let's talk about it......" Lei Dayong was also happy, this God, it's finally raining, if it doesn't rain again, he will have to fight with the Tartars on land, which is the last thing he wants to see.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's useful, I'm too anxious, anyway, it's almost dawn, and when the day dawns, let's gather all the relevant people, arrange the strategy, and prepare to reinforce the marshal, this time, we have to do a big job, let the Tartars see how powerful we are" Shang Kexi said very excitedly, anxious and worried for many days, in this cold wind, turned into excitement and fighting spirit.

……

Forbidden city.

Yang Reform didn't sleep all night, these days night nightmare every day, today, do half of it, suddenly don't do it, I don't know what's going on, Yang Reform got up, outside the Qianqing Palace to the east for half a night, according to Wang Chengen, the emperor suddenly likes to watch the sunrise.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yang Reform rushed to the platform, this half-cut nightmare, does it indicate that there are great changes in Dongjiang Town? The nightmares I have had in the past few days seem to be related to Dongjiang Town.

……

It was finally dawn.

The Tartars' offensive also receded, and during the day, the Tartars did not dare to be as presumptuous as at night, even if they came to attack the city, they could see it clearly, and they could deal with it calmly on the city wall, Zhang Heng felt that he could go and sleep well. Turning his head, he thought that he still had something to do, so he walked towards the other end of the city wall.

"Dashuai, this wind is blowing, it looks like it's about to rain......" The news of the wind is not only known to Zhang Heng, máo Wenlong has gathered all the generals to discuss the matter of the wind.

"Well, the wind is rising, look at this cloud, it is estimated that it is about to come down, hehehe, it rains is a good omen, once it rains, the Tartars are going to attack the city, it will be even more difficult...... we can finally breathe a sigh of relief......" Máo Wenlong said with a scruffy beard and dark circles in his eyes, tired but happy.

"Yes, Dashuai, it's rare to rain, we can finally get a good night's sleep, these days, the Tartars have been making noise day and night, and they haven't even slept well......" A general said with a tired voice and an excited face, these days, almost no one has had a good rest.

"Dashuai, we don't have many grenades, do you want Lei Qin downstream to send them to replenish some, if you don't take this opportunity to replenish, our Zhenjiang Fort will be difficult to defend, these days, all rely on grenades to fight tartars......" A general said with tiredness and worry.

Máo Wenlong's face was full of exhaustion, but the light in his eyes told everyone that Máo Wenlong was very divine.

"Okay, since everyone asked about the supplement, then, Ben Shuai is here to solemnly say that Lei Qin sent them, and soon we will replenish a large amount ......of supplies to our Zhenjiang Fort, including grenades, and the Tartars want to use up our grenades, that's a dream," Máo Wenlong announced loudly.

This news is undoubtedly quite good news, and everyone here believes that as long as there are enough grenades, even if it is 10,000 years, the Tartars will not want to break through Zhenjiang Fort.

The generals began to talk about it. ,

"Father, did Retin send them to come up with a battleship?" A subordinate general asked happily.

"Dashuai, doesn't this mean that Lord Lei is coming up?" Another general also said happily that what the desert longed for was water; What a hungry person craves is food; The people who were besieged were most eager for reinforcements, and when they heard that reinforcements were coming, everyone's mood rose to a new level, and the fatigue of continuous battles for several days and nights was swept away.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet," Máo Wenlong said with a smile, just let everyone talk about it, and then, it's time for him to speak.

Everyone quieted down and waited for their own handsome to speak.

"The reinforcements for this operation have long been planned, I'm not dazed, I'm not dazed, I'm here to send everyone to death, beforehand, there is a careful plan, it is Your Majesty's personal approval, this time, we are not fighting alone, this time, there will be a large amount of reinforcements from Your Majesty, people, things, and silver. There are 80,000 grenades alone, as well as a large number of red-coated cannons, 1,000 catties of Buddha machines, and food, not to mention, Your Majesty knows that we are cold here, and prepared 10,000 sets of the latest cotton coats for us in advance, as well as 10,000 sets of quilts, our people in Zhenjiang Fort, one set per person, enough, I heard that this cotton coat, but it is made of four or five catties of high-quality cotton, it is a first-class good cotton coat, hehe, we have these cotton clothes, with these cotton covers, the whole winter is warm, hehe, Just guard this Zhenjiang Fort and the Tartars to the death, see what the Tartars can do to us" máo Wenlong saw that things had developed in the predetermined direction, so he broke out this inside information, and now, it has reached the most dangerous juncture, and this news should be used to boost morale.

"Good"

"Okay"

"Great"

Not many people knew the news, and as soon as they heard the news, so many reinforcements, the generals immediately began to get excited and began to talk about these things, these things, they are really too generous, they are too timely.

"So everyone, next, let's hold Zhenjiang Fort and wait for Your Majesty's reinforcements to arrive, as long as Your Majesty's reinforcements arrive, the Tartars will definitely be defeated,...... Everyone has seen the direction of the wind today, the north wind has already blown, and the sky is also rolling dark clouds, it will rain at any time, once it rains, the water in this river will rise, and once the water rises, downstream, our warships, will rush up, and reinforcements will arrive......" Máo Wenlong continued.

The generals discussed again, although this news is good news, but, after thinking about it carefully, there are still a lot of flaws, many people know what kind of situation the water camp in their own Dongjiang Town is, as soon as the water camp arrives, they can disperse the Tartars, and they can send reinforcements to Zhenjiang Fort, some people are skeptical, but on this occasion, it is not convenient to say it.

Máo Wenlong is actually dizzy and swollen, he hasn't rested well in the past few days, and his brain is inevitably a little húnluàn, and he forgot to say the most important thing.

"Are you doubting the strength of the water camp?" Zhang Heng saw the people present, many people had the word suspicious huò written on their faces, Zhang Heng hurriedly came out to explain the situation, máo Wenlong didn't know how to do it, and forgot the most important thing.

When everyone heard Zhang Heng speak, they immediately turned their heads to look at Zhang Heng.

“…… Your Majesty also knows that the strength of our water camp in Dongjiang Town is weak, so he hired a fleet of Yiren in Nanyang early, and on this Yiren fleet, there are two or three hundred mén cannons, and they fire together. Now, this fleet, in the downstream of our Zhenjiang Fort, the mouth of the Yalu River, did not tell you before, just because there is no water, so, the battleship can't come up, now the weather has changed, it will rain soon, the river will immediately rise, as soon as the water rises, the battleship will drive in, when the time comes, the Yiren fleet will have two or three hundred mén cannons, we still have a lot, and the cannons reinforced by His Majesty, everyone calculate, how many cannons do we have? Don't even recognize your parents if you don't bomb the Tartar? Zhang Heng was also dizzy, and when he saw that Máo Wenlong said that something was missing, he hurriedly made up for it.

"Oh"

"Good"

"Great"

The generals smiled at this time, if there were really so many cannons and Yiren warships as Staff Officer Zhang said, then the Tartars wanted to get close to the river, it was delusional, and it was possible to transport materials and things to Zhenjiang Fort, otherwise, with the cannons of the Dongjiang Zhenshui Camp, it would be impossible to blockade it.

"Dashuai, is there really such a large number of cannons, three hundred mén? Oh my mother, this cannon is still shaking? One of the generals' eyes widened, and he had already put his sleepiness and tiredness behind him, and laughed strangely. ,

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

However, many generals are still a little unaccustomed to this kind of unexpected reinforcements, over the years, Dongjiang Town has always relied on itself to fight, and has never only deducted the things of Dongjiang Town, and drifted away the things of Dongjiang Town, this kind of extravagant reinforcements can be said to be unaccustomed to some generals.

"Dashuai, is there really such a thing?" Some generals asked in disbelief, not because they didn't believe it, but because there were too many reinforcements, and it was hard to believe.

"Uh......, when did Your Majesty shorten our silver? When did Your Majesty deceive us? Now we have huā in our hands, use in our hands, take them in our hands, and beat the tartars, isn't that from Your Majesty? Máo suddenly said.

This sentence immediately dispelled the doubts of some generals, thinking about what the Holy Lord has done since he ascended the throne, these generals immediately felt that this matter was true, and that suspicion disappeared completely, yes, an emperor who can take out 10 million taels of silver for disaster relief, will he care about them?

"Father, the boy will immediately tell the brothers the news, so that the brothers can have a good time...... "After the news was conclusive, some people immediately prepared to spread the news, which greatly improved morale, military morale, and combat effectiveness.

"Good ......"

……

At the mouth of the Yalu River, on a battleship, there were many people in the warship war room, and the space in the war room was so narrow that it was a little crowded.

The sea breeze was blowing, the battleship was shaking, and everyone surrounded a xiǎo sand table in the middle.

"God bless me Daming, now the wind is blowing" Lei Dayong stood in front and said loudly.

Originally, it was not Lei Da's turn to speak with this xiǎomáo child, however, who let Lei Dayong wear a hat of "Qincha" on his head, as the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft, whether it is Dongjiang Town or Yiren, they all eat the emperor, take the emperor's, and the people sent by the emperor are naturally superior, although there is no explicit decree that Lei Dayong is a Qincha, but others are fully responsible for this reinforcement, with this, you can let Lei Dayong stand at the forefront.

Everyone glanced at the sky slightly, although they could only see the wooden battleship, but on the sky outside the battleship, there were dark clouds rolling, and a heavy rain was coming.

"After the rain, the river will definitely rise, after the rise, it is the time for us to set off, this battle plan, has been approved by His Majesty, all departments must strictly abide by the combat deployment, if there is any slackness, dereliction of duty, ineffective work, severe punishment." Lei Dayong first said in a stern tone.

"Obey" the crowd gladly received the order.

"This reinforcement is divided into two major departments, one is the warhead and the other is the transportation department......"

"Among them, the warhead is divided into the attack fleet and the cavalry ...... of Lord Ma, and the attack fleet includes the warships of the Yiren, including the converted battleships, under the command of Peter and Rekaz......"

"Among them, the cavalry part is commanded by Ma Teng, and Master Ma is responsible for commanding ......," Lei Dayong said.

"My lord, the lower official xiǎo is a humble ......, I'm afraid this is not suitable." Ma Teng is just a thousand generals, garrison officers, it is indeed a little surprising to be able to come to this meeting, I heard that I am responsible for commanding a warhead in such a big scene, I can't believe it, and prevaricate.

"Master Ma, don't be like this, your record is obvious to all, a few days ago, on the bank of the river, you cut hundreds of Tartars jīng Rui, everyone can see it, not to mention, to promote you to be the commander of this combat department, is the meaning of the marshal, according to your record, it is more than enough to be a general, and when the performance of the report is approved, you can officially serve as a general, you don't have to shirk, just concentrate on this reinforcement is ......, since the commander believes in you, I also believe in you, I believe that you will be able to do a good ......job." Lei Dayong didn't wait for Ma Teng to say more, and immediately rushed to say.
