War doesn't come when you're ready.

Otherwise, it would not be called war.

Zhai Zhe'an slept peacefully all night, and opened his eyes when the fish belly was white in the eastern sky. The grass on the mountain is very soft, and although it is not as soft as the duvet at home, you can't breathe such clear air in the house.

After working for half the night, Qinglu did not attack the city again in the early morning.

Twenty iron cannons will be transported outside Yuqian City tonight, and each one has a range better than the Ming army's garrison cannons. So far, Bolo still firmly believes that as long as he does not hesitate to pay, he will be able to capture Yuqian County within two or three days. But the capture of Yu Qian was only the beginning, and he didn't know what else he would encounter in these rolling mountains, so he couldn't lose too much here. The tired psyche of the army could hardly withstand two more hard battles.

The general Zhai Zhe was in the dive, and this news attracted the attention of all the Qing generals in a few days.

The besieged Zhang Cunren is the bait, and Zhai Zhe himself is also the bait. Everyone thought that after the appearance of General Pinglu, Zhang Cunren was in great danger.

The shelling of the city of Hangzhou ceased.

Xiao Zhiyan and Feng Qin stood side by side at the head of the city, watching another group of Qing captives go west. Xiao Zhiyan felt like there were tens of thousands of ants crawling in his heart, because he knew best what kind of people the soldiers in Xiao Shan's camp were, but now he was under the command of Feng Qin.

The best soldiers in eastern Zhejiang are in the city of Hangzhou, where there are skillful foot soldiers, the most elite cavalry, and the generals who are the best at using cavalry.

They are far from the battlefield, they are ready to wait. Zhang Cunren is not the target, but the camp under the city of Hangzhou is the real target.

Yu Qianxian County can hold for a few more days, and Duoduo will inevitably transfer troops from here to the west.

On the top of the north hill of Qianxian County.

Zhai Zhe rinsed his mouth with salt water as usual. After getting enough rest, he felt like every inch of his muscles were filled with energy. Breakfast was a bowl of gruel, half a bowl of rice, and a piece of Jinhua ham meat. Zhai Zhe eats very slowly, slower than all the soldiers in the army, whether in the barracks or at home, breakfast has always been his most relaxing time.

The simple movements exude a kind of calmness from the inside out, perfectly blending with the peaceful early morning, making his whole person look like an inconspicuous saber, without sharp eyes, only quietly sharp.

The young Fang Jin didn't sleep all night, he looked like he was still in good spirits, it was not easy to be a personal soldier for Zhai Zhe, but he could learn a lot, of course, you have to learn to think.

The calm of the battle is precious.

In the hidden city, the people are demolishing the house, and a young Confucian is distributing the accumulation of various materials. He is Yao Qisheng, a new staff member of the Pinglu General's Mansion, a native of Shaoxing, shrewd and capable. Zong Mao took a fancy to his strategy for the examination papers, and after managing the general's mansion for a while, he was quite appreciated by Zong Mao, so he was sent to Yu Qianlai.

This is the most dangerous battlefield, but for those who have a heart, there is also the best opportunity to express Xiàn, because General Pingyu is by his side.

Yao Qisheng rolled up his sleeves, the surface of his head was covered with a layer of pale yellow dust, and there were more than a dozen spots of dirt on his clothes, except for the robe, he was no different from the people who were carrying the goods.

"Move the firearms storehouse here, get rid of all those houses!" He stood in front of a pile of ruins and danced with his hands, and the sun showed his face, already sweating.

The demolition of the house was to allow firearms to be moved to the city more quickly, and the gravel and earthwork were moved to the city to be used as a tool for the defense of the city. Yuqian County is not big, and the more than 50,000 people who came in were a little crowded, but under Yao Qisheng's arrangement, the recruits of each battalion were in good order. There were many wounded soldiers in these days, and they were placed in the western part of the city, so as not to affect the morale of the defenders in those cruel scenes.

When the hour passed, the soldiers at the head of the city shouted, and the cannons rang out again.

The rugged road between seven and two miles from the city wall was strewn with iron bumps, and the Qinglu rushed through the iron cannon bombardment area amid hysterical roars. Under the walls, they were safer. In the past few days, it was these six iron cannons that hindered the progress of the follow-up troops of the Qing Dynasty and reduced the pressure on the defenders at the head of the city.

Bolo was watching the battle, and although the cannon arrived tonight, he didn't want to let the defenders get easy during the day.

Because the Ming army was stationed in the north mountain outside the city, the layout of the siege was very cumbersome, and the armor soldiers with white flags had to risk passing through the bombardment of iron cannons and stick to the outside of the city wall to protect the flanks of the siege soldiers and horses. On the way, it is inevitable that some people will be smashed into pulp, and those are warriors who have survived a hundred battles.

Today's Qing captives did not attack as they did in previous days, and the archers kept looking for opportunities to kill and wound the defenders at the head of the city and demoralize the defenders.

The battle was uneventful, after three days of tempering of blood and fire, and then Meng Kang and other fierce soldiers pressed the formation, the defenders' response was a little more organized. Zhu Dadian no longer throws thunder like he threw garbage two days ago. When Yao Qisheng handed over the amount of firearms reserves and the consumption list for the past three days to him, he didn't say anything in his mouth, but knew it in his heart.

Zhai Zhe watched from the top of the mountain for a moment, threw the clairvoyant mirror aside, and summoned Yang Shouzhuang.

Yang Shouzhuang bowed and saluted, "Meet the general!" "Zhai Zhe is a general of Pingyu, but it is a consensus in the army to call him a general.

"Tomorrow is the fifth day, Yuqian County will face the most difficult situation, I will enter the city tonight, and leave you to guard the North Mountain." Zhai Zhe handed the clairvoyant mirror to Yang Shouzhuang, "You can see the battle at the head of the city clearly with this, and when I erect the banner of "Yang" at the head of the city, you immediately lead the army to kill it."

"Yes!" Yang Shouzhuang cautiously took the clairvoyant mirror.

"After winning this battle, you and I will make immortal feats for the Ming Dynasty, and after eating Zhang Cunren's soldiers and horses, the Qing Dynasty will not have an advantage over the Ming Dynasty."

In order to strengthen Yang Shouzhuang's confidence, Zhai Zhe said a few more words, and his voice and demeanor flattered Yang Shouzhuang.

The news of eastern Zhejiang, even Jiangnan and Jiangxi, is converging in Qianshan District, because Zhai Zhe is here. When the iron cannon will leave Hangzhou City and when it will arrive in Fuyang, a qiē is under control.

If the defenders in the city were a little more mature, Zhai Zhe would not have entered Yu Qian. He could almost imagine what kind of panicked scene there would be in Qianxian County tomorrow morning when the Qing Dynasty's giant cannon fired. After he is gone, the defenders of Beishan will lose seventy percent of their might. If Beishan is taken away, Yuqian County will not have to be guarded, and it will be useless to put no number of people.

"Zhu Dadian and Meng Kang are not handsome, they are not as good as Yan Yingyuan in Jiangyin!" He thought of the distant Jiangyin City, and also thought of the promise he made to Yan Yingyuan in his letters. As soon as the war in eastern Zhejiang ended, the army immediately went to aid Jiangyin.

The defenders of the North Hill had a busy day, reinforcing the fortifications. The sun rises in mid-air and sets in the west. Today's battle is finally over, and Zhu Dadian dragged his tired body down from the city.

After resting for less than half an hour, the defenders at the head of the city came to say: "General Zhai came to the north gate and asked to enter the city." ”

"General Zhai is here!" Zhu Dadian struggled to stand up, "Come with me to greet him." He knew that his expression in the past few days had fallen in Zhai Zhe's eyes, and he was faintly embarrassed.

The north gate opened, Zhai Zhe led two hundred personal guards into the city, and at the last moment he left, he ordered Bao Guang to lead the rest of the people to stay.

The torches at the gate of the city were bright, and Meng Kang and others also rushed to greet them, Yao Qisheng specially rushed to show his face, and came out to proclaim: "The last general, Yao Qisheng, is ordered by the head of the sect to assist the cabinet lord to defend the city. He pondered it for a long time, and felt that it would be more appropriate to call himself the last general. He is a showman, and many of the people in Zhai Zhe's army are showmen. Before recruiting staff, only Zhang Huangyan was a lifter, and Fang Yizhi was a jinshi.

But at the moment, there is no place for him to speak, Zhai Zhe waved to the soldiers, and returned to the county office with Zhu Dadian. He did not inform Zhu Dadian in advance of the news of the Qing Dynasty's mobilization of iron cannons, and it will be clear tomorrow.

After defending the city for a day, the soldiers were very hard, and heavy snoring could be heard everywhere in Qianxian County.

In the second half of the night, Fang Fang, who had gone to the city to inspect the city, came in and came back to say, "The iron cannon of the Qing captives has arrived." ”

Zhai Zhe climbed to the top of the city, and the torches of the Qingyu camp were bright more than ten miles away, and the noisy voices of the soldiers spread far and wide in the silent night.

He ordered Fang to go in and invite Zhu Dadian. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Dadian rushed over. He slept very deeply, and the family was really forced by Fang Jin to have no choice, so he had the courage to wake him up.

Zhai Zhe went down to the city to greet him, asked Zhu Dadian to go first, the two of them went to the top of the city, Zhai Zhe pointed to the light, and said: "I can't hide it, I entered the city tonight because the Qing Dynasty mobilized that thing!" ”

"What?"

"Cannons, you can directly bombard the city and blast open the city gates!"

Zhu Dadian's face changed slightly, and finally said angrily: "So General Zhai doesn't believe me!" He first felt it was an insult.

Zhai Zhe chuckled and arched his hand, and said: "The cabinet department has thought too much, and the last general has been watching the top of the mountain for three days, and when he saw the heroism of the cabinet department, his heart was excited, and he wanted to fight side by side with the adults. ”

Zhu Dadian was dragged into the battle by him, and when he asked Zhu Dadian for help, he didn't expect him to send troops. No matter what the ability of the general is, Zhu Dadian's expression is worthy of respect. Zhai Zhe invited Zhu Dadian not entirely for Jinhua's 5,000 soldiers, but deliberately to repair the relationship with Zhu Dadian. He has been laying out the battle between the court and the court in the court of the Tang Dynasty, and he must first ensure the unity of eastern Zhejiang. Several cabinet scholars in Shaoxing Mansion are likely to be reused in the court of the Tang Dynasty, but Zhu Dadian is different, this person has long been connected with the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Zhai Zhe say this, Zhu Dadian's anger subsided slightly, and since he became an official, only Zhai Zhe alone can make him look at the generals.

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. If the Qing captives have cannons, will this city not be defended? ”

Zhai Zhe ignored the displeasure in Zhu Dadian's tone, and said slowly: "I have seen the Qing Dynasty shelling and attacking the city in Hangzhou City, and the defenders at the head of the city have all turned into meat sauce, and the three iron gates have all been penetrated. ”

The city fell silent, and Zhu Dadian didn't say a word.

It was Zhai Zhe who broke the silence first, and then asked: "Can you ask the defenders to go down to the city first, and then go up to the city to meet the enemy after the Qing captives are bombarded, I am willing to guard the city gate for the cabinet lord." He observed Zhu Dadian for a few days, knew that this person was domineering and not so easy to get along with, and had heard some rumors about him, so he gave him enough respect when he spoke and behaved, and acted with the courtesy of a military general to a minister.

Zhu Dadian snorted angrily, his anger dissipated, patted his chest and said, "General Zhai, please rest assured, with me, there is Yu Qiancheng." ”
