"Mastermind, this whole city is soaked in water. Although General Belgutai led his troops to desperately bury them with soil, they had little effect."

In a mansion at the highest point of the Ningxia city wall, Bibai and all the rebel generals gathered among them, and a guy dressed as a strategist said anxiously to Bibai.

When the morale of the Ming army was high here, when Huo Huo was preparing to enter Ningxia City tomorrow, the rebels in the city were a sad scene of rumors and trees:

For a whole day, a large amount of river water poured into the city. In the lower parts of the city of Ningxia, the river is waist-deep, and in a few places it has even reached the neck. Although the rebels desperately tried to rescue firewood, food, gunpowder and other supplies, the number of rebels in the city was seriously damaged due to the previous battle, and most of the supplies were finally soaked in water.

What's even more terrifying is that as night falls, the temperature begins to drop, and the soldiers need a lot of firewood to keep warm. But apart from the city walls, they couldn't even find a place where they could not soak their bodies in the water, and many soldiers squatted on the houses on both sides of the road, barely collecting some messy fires, lighting a bonfire, holding their wet bodies trembling, their eyes without the slightest brilliance, all lifeless looking at the bonfire in front of them, full of worries about their future.

The generals did not treat themselves badly, and they gathered in the highest position in the city, wearing the precious mink fur and other clothes that had been plundered. Charcoal fires were lit on several tall shelves around me, and the whole room was very warm. As they drank the spirits, they discussed their next steps:

"Damn it! Li Rusong, this little bastard! is so vicious, this guy wants to force us out of the city to break through, or the city wall will collapse, and our people have no other way out than to surrender! A frustrated fist slammed into the armrest of the chair, and Baba almost roared.

"General, I've fought hard today. But our men were so few that we were busy for six hours, and we only got back enough gunpowder for the soldiers defending the city for three days, and if the firewood was only for the defenders on the city walls. Can be used for five days. There is a lot of food, but most of it has been blistered, and if you don't eat it quickly, it will be easy to get moldy," Belgutai on the side took a sip of the liquor and said with a sad face.

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, and then the sadness on their faces deepened. It's already September, and the weather is getting colder. I can deal with it in normal times. But now most of the place is flooded by the river. The soldiers' movements in the city were all naked and fruited through the water, and their body temperature dropped extremely quickly. Without a large amount of firewood for heating, many soldiers would have fallen ill or even frozen to death.

Originally, in order to rebel, Bibai carried a large amount of food and medicine in advance, all of which were hoarded in various treasury of Ningxia City. According to the estimates of these rebel generals, these materials, together with the tall walls of Ningxia City and the assistance of reinforcements from the surrounding areas, could hold Ningxia City for at least five months.

But now Ma Shun has been captured alive, and the reinforcements have been wiped out; The whole city of Ningxia is soaked in water, or the city wall will be loosened and collapsed in a few days; Most of the gunpowder in the city was blistered and completely unusable, and the Ming army could only use their lives to kill them.

All kinds of things continue to linger in the hearts of every rebel general and minister, so that these guys who have always looked down on the self-righteousness of the imperial court have completely lost their former arrogance and arrogance, and they have lost the spirit of bullying men and women in the city and taking captives by women. On the contrary, now they are all frightened and overwhelmed, and they look at Bibai with a frightened face, hoping that he can come up with a good solution.

"It turns out that my hands are full of a group of rabble, and as soon as I met a famous general like King Yama, I was completely beaten back to my original form! Alas, it seems that this time it is a catastrophe" I felt a burst of sadness inexplicably in my heart, and I looked at these overwhelmed subordinates, and suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.

To tell the truth, at this time, he had already retreated, he didn't speak on the surface, but in fact he was thinking about how to escape from the city, whether it was incognito, bribing the court officials, saving his old life, and finding a place to be a rich man comfortably with the looted gold, silver and jewelry.

"Ma Jun, you bring a thousand people. Take away all the things that can be used as firewood in the homes of those untouchables in the city, and gather them, and all the places where you can hide from stagnant water must be given priority to the soldiers" Thinking of this, he had to interrupt his thoughts, and continued to order to support hard, the king of Yama outside is a murderer without blinking, and if you want to do anything, you have to wait until the king of Yama is repulsed.

"Kublai and you, you take five hundred men to find some tools, some rafts and other things, and be responsible for transporting supplies to the city. Belgutai took your men and horses, divided into three shifts and continued to dig in turn, plugging all the water gaps in the city wall" Under some arrangement, these panicked rebel generals and strategists finally found a trace of the backbone and barely pressed their hearts.

Ming army camp outside the city:

Li Rusong was wearing crimson armor, wearing a vicious wolf swallowing helmet, and carrying a huge horse chopping knife at his waist, and he was energetic and patrolling back and forth in the camp. Behind him, Monk Greenqin and others followed closely behind, and every soldier's eyes were full of awe when they looked at Li Rusong.

At this time, Ningxia and other places have entered winter, the weather has turned cold, and it is said that it has begun to snow in a few places close to the outside of the fortress, and the land of Ningxia City is also bitterly cold at night.

The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.

Scattered into the bead curtain wet curtain, the fox fur is not warm and thin.

The general's horn bow is uncontrollable, and it is difficult to protect the iron clothes.

The sea is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed.

The Chinese army returned with wine and drinks, Huqin pipa and Qiang flute.

The snow is falling in the twilight, and the wind and red flags are not overturned.

Luntai East Gate sent Jun to go, and when he went, the snow was full of Tianshan Road.

The mountain loop turns around, and the snow leaves a place for horses.

Looking at Ningxia City in the dark night in the distance, Li Rusong couldn't help but recite this song by Cen Sen's "Bai Xue Ge Sends the Military Judge Back to Beijing".

"Brother, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I still think you haven't changed at all. I didn't expect to follow those sour talents in the capital, but I learned a lot of sour water! Teach me a few tricks, I want to find a daughter-in-law as soon as possible" The monk Greenqin on the side was confused when he heard it, and when he saw Li Rusong's smug face, he couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, monk. What kind of woman does our men in Liaodong like, just grab it directly. Where is the need to pretend to be like those sour showmen? If a man doesn't have a little strength, he can't even protect his own woman, and he is worthy of being a man? I'm thinking: let's be comfortably wrapped in thick cotton clothes and quilts here, and have a full meal and enough wine. Those rebel kings and eight lambs are estimated to freeze to death tonight," Hearing this, Li Rusong turned his head and said with a smile towards Seng Lingqin and the others.

Ningxia City is actually Yinchuan City in later generations, and Li Rusong couldn't be clearer about this place where he had lingered many times in his previous life:

Yinchuan is located in the northwest inland plateau, belongs to the middle temperate arid climate zone, the four seasons are distinct, the winter is cold and long but not strangely cold, the summer and summer are short but there is no extreme heat, the spring is warm and fast, the autumn is cool early, the rain and snow are scarce, the climate is dry, the sunshine is sufficient, the wind is big and the sand is more. The frost-free period is 150-170 days a year.

Yinchuan climate is also characterized by large diurnal temperature differences, long sunshine hours, strong solar radiation, and the average annual sunshine hours are as high as 2000-3000 hours, ranking among the best in the country. The average annual temperature in Yinchuan is between 8-9 degrees. Summer temperatures reach a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius or more, but generally not for long. The cold snap arrived in October and lasted for half a year until March of the following year. The coldest month of January has an average temperature of less than -8 degrees Celsius, and the extreme low temperature is below -22 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, Li Rusong knew very well that digging water to pour water into Ningxia City would not only cause the collapse of the city wall, but also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the defenders and other things.

"General Gong Zijing, how are tomorrow's manpower preparations?" With a joy in his heart, Li Rusong turned his head and asked Gong Zijing, who was standing aside.

"General rest assured, the last general has mobilized more than 300 Miao soldiers, tomorrow as long as the general gives an order, the last general will definitely take the lead in killing" Hearing this, Gong Zijing's face tightened, and he stood straight and clenched his fists and said loudly.

"Hehe, with your words, I will personally go to the city wall tomorrow to cheer you on the drums!" (To be continued......)
