Chapter 19: Breaking the Circle (1)

Huaiyin has been cloudy for several days, and it finally rained lightly today.

The tall and solemn city wall, in such weather, seems to be unable to stand the pressure of heavy troops, and it looks slightly rickety. Countless cracks are overgrown with weeds, and the scars left by the previous sword and axe are still there, and now they are about to face a new round of baptism.

The two armies confronted each other under the city of Huaiyin, and behind the battlements and shields, the hidden archers bowed like a full moon, and they were about to fire.

"Lord Wang, look at this posture, this group of turtle grandchildren is planning to defend to the death." The long halberd is in the hands of Zang Shuanghu, he is the commander of the rear military camp, but he is a rough man, and he will inevitably swear when he opens his mouth, "His mother's misbreed, it's rare to be a little backbone." ”

Yang Shao didn't answer, only looked at the city from afar with cold eyes.

On the head of the city of Huaiyin, the three big flags of the coalition army are hung high in the three directions of the north, south and the middle, the largest one in the middle is ochre and yellow, embroidered with a dragon, standing silently in the rain, it is the symbol of Dayong standing in the world for three hundred years.

Behind the battlement walls, the red tassels on the tops of countless helmets appeared and disappeared, and many people were crowded. Clusters of shears with a shining silver light were hidden behind each battlement, layer upon layer, almost in a continuous line over the broad walls.

"What kind of hero is it to shrink in the city, if Kaecheng is single-handed, I will kill them without leaving a piece of armor." Ding Li is a young general, he charges the most bravely on weekdays, he has a pair of translucent and clear tiger eyes, and his sharp spirit is high-spirited at this time.

"The upper army is plotting, the second is the army, and the bottom is the siege, but the commander of the Yong Dynasty is a little strategic, and he will not let you do this." Yang Shao was still carefully watching the enemy's situation, and when he heard his words, he didn't reply, so he said coldly.

"Lord Wang, according to the report from the spies, this time the Yong Dynasty sent the second prince Zhao Youli to lead the army, and asked Yue Quan to be his deputy general, the commander of Yongcang is He Jin, and Tianfeng sent Chen Zhi." The dragon and tiger general Han Guangce is nearly half a hundred years old, and a glaive knife is stuck straight into the soil. He swore to follow King Xianming to the death, until Yang Shao once sucked a poisonous sore for him, and he handed over the second half of his life to this new commander of the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhao Youli has a straw bag, Yue Quan is a character, but he doesn't know how to choose a good tree to live in, and he is talented." Yang Shao turned his head to look at Han Guangce, and smiled slightly, "Concubine Qi of the Yong Dynasty has been fighting for the crown prince and Concubine Yao for decades, and this time her son has rushed to the front line, and he really paid a bloody price." ”

Han Guangce nodded: "Since the Yong Dynasty took off the armor of General Jiang Yan sixty years ago, there was also a Lu Yuanzhong, and he was killed by the party fight. The number counted over the years is one Yue Quan, one Guan Yizhong, and one Wei Yang. ”

In the fierce battle of Luoyang that year, Guan Yizhong would rather die than surrender, relying on 30,000 horses to defend the lonely city, resisting 200,000 Ming troops to hold out for three months, and finally spilled blood on the battlefield.

"Lord Wang, or I'll call the battle?" Ding Li couldn't stand this stupid waiting, and rode the war horse to move left and right, he tightened the reins, and the silver spear in his hand was as bright as snow.

Yang Shao was silent, and his fingers struck the Longquan sword on his waist one by one.

"Lord Wang, there seems to be fire oil lit in the city." Wei Chi is the commander of the right military camp, good at attacking with fire, and has the most acute awareness in this regard.

The spring breeze in April is as soft as a sympathetic kiss. A gentle breeze blew through the city, faintly, where there was a rising beacon fire.

"It seems that they are really well prepared this time." Han Guangce squinted his eyes and looked at it from afar, then nodded, "If it is hard to hit, the rolling stone giant tree and the flames will make the cloud ladder attack us and fill a lot of lives." ”

"That's better than waiting here." Ding Li patted the horse's back, hating to kill the Quartet immediately.

Gradually, the thick black smoke rose higher and higher, breaking through the thin rain, as if black dragons were hovering over Huaiyin City.

"Pass my order, the whole army will retreat ten miles first, find a water source and go to the village." Yang Shao slowly drew his sword, but it was not a clarion call for attack. Zhao Yunqing, who had been following him closely and silently, immediately made a promise and beckoned two soldiers to pass on his life.

Ding Li was anxious, Ying Ting's eyebrows were twisted together, and he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Lord Wang!" We're all in the city, and it's a shame to go back like this. The scum of the Yong Dynasty, don't think we're afraid of him. ”

"At this time, the Yongjun army is showing its edge, ready for a desperate battle," Wei Chi patted his armor and comforted his young colleague, "Why bother touching this moldy head." ”

"The lives of the Ming soldiers, each one is much more important than your face." Yang Shao glanced at him, his deep voice was as steady as Mount Tai, and the Xuandi Blazing Military Flag swaying in the breeze set off his unquestionable solemn majesty.

In the distance, snare drums sounded, and in bursts and bursts, it was a continuous transmission of retreat orders.

"First fence Huaiyin City, eight city gates, not a single bird is allowed to enter." Yang Shao turned the horse's head, and the majestic black horse obediently turned a corner.

"Hey......" Ding Li sighed to the sky in frustration, but listened to Yang Shao's command behind him, "Ding Li, you come to call the battle tomorrow." ”

Three days later.

The two attendants tied the leather ropes tightly on the left and the right, and the armor made of stainless steel instantly fit the body, and Ding Li put on his helmet and turned around to pick up the silver spear.

This gun, the gun tassel is made of rhinoceros tail, the head of the gun is three inches and three points long, sharp as frost, he was bored in the tent to play a spear flower, a turn back, cut off half of the candle on the desk.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, you're obviously a good baby, but you have to be taken by me to drive women......" he muttered and sighed as he touched the barrel of the gun, "If Jiang Tieyu knows about this, he won't have to laugh off his big teeth." ”

Ding Li was born in a hussar guard, and Jiang Youhe was a good brother he knew when he was in the fourth guard, and the two were called Iron Feather White Dragon.

In accordance with the order of the regent, he has led people to call the battle for three consecutive days, and circled around Huaiyin City a few times, except for a few cold arrows, he found almost nothing.

I didn't see any of them, not even anyone to deal with.

As a result, early this morning, the regent ordered him to bring five hundred armor soldiers again, but he gave a special instruction to bring dozens of camp prostitutes who knew how to play music and dance.

Ding Li opened the tent door, and outside the military tent, the cowering girls had already been taken by the camp leader and waited for a long time.

"I've seen General Ding." They bowed down together, and a piece of red clothes was scattered like peach blossoms, but Ding Li had a calm face and flew on the horse impatiently.

"It's all vulgar powder." He was arrogant, and had always looked down on such colors, and when he saw that a prostitute was peeking at him, he could not help but feel uncomfortable, and he tilted his head and yelled: "Look at it, go!" ”

The sky was bright, under Huaiyin City, the armor soldiers held their shields to gather the formation, Ding Li sat alone on the white horse, a silver spear was pinned behind his neck with both hands, and the black cloak hunted in the wind.

It was only a hundred steps away from the tall city wall, and the girls in bright makeup and red clothes slowly came out from behind, driven by two armor soldiers with swords, and lined up in front of the high wall and fortified city.

It was vaguely visible that the soldiers of the Yong Dynasty were vigilantly pulling their bowstrings, but they were all silent and obviously quiet.

"Hey! Listen, people from the towers! Ding Li pointed the tip of his gun straight into the sky, and his young and handsome face was heroic, "You are timid and afraid to fight, don't dare to come out, it's okay!" General Ben is in a good mood today, look at you pitiful, please watch the song and dance! ”

As soon as Ding Li's words fell, the sand behind him was dusty, the strings and drums were raised, the smiles on the soft and pale faces were stiff, and the song and dance were slowly performed.

"Twenty-eight enchanting, painting the soul and jade, and not stingy with good scenery on the side of the road......"

The melodious flute sound floated out, and the lyrics lingered, Ding Li kept staring at the crowded city tower, but he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Tut! He saw that the soldiers had strange expressions, and they all changed.

However, the three pillars of incense, a large number of people came from front to back on the city tower, led by the man with a golden crown and a black robe, surrounded by layers of guards.

Caught off guard, the man pulled out half of his face from the battlements, glanced at it and quickly retreated.

"Huh?" Ding Li fixed his eyes and saw that this outfit was ......

"Zhao Youli, your grandfather, I see you coming, and the turtle is shrinking in the city day by day, isn't it that your body is heavy and you are raising a fetus?" The young general was shocked, and he raised his silver gun and shouted, "What's the matter, it's just a group of girls singing and dancing, and you are so scared that you don't dare to come down?" ”

There was a commotion on the tower, and the guards quickly put on the defensive, but no one answered.

"Zhao Er! Your emperor Lao Tzu, isn't he romantic, and loves singing and dancing the most? Ding Li rode his war horse back and forth, and continued to shout arrogantly, "You turtles are cowering in the city, don't dare to go out, you Laozi, you are cowering in the south of the Yangtze River, don't dare to cross the river." You are indeed his own son, in the same lineage, ancestral cowardice! ”

Behind Ding Li, the soldiers laughed loudly and mocked.

"Listen to the thieves downstairs!" A loud voice sounded, and above the city tower, a general finally stood up, "If you don't retreat quickly, Your Highness said that you will have no return!" ”

Ding Li was unmoved, the weapon in his hand waved and waved back the horse pistol, and the shout echoed under the empty city:

"Zhao Er, I finally understand why you don't dare to come down! I just forgot, you only like to watch Concubine Yao dance, but you are, the ugly monster surnamed Qi! It's no wonder that you only love peerless beauties, why don't you know how to choose a good mother? ”

"Dare to fight against the thief!" Above the city tower, there was a sudden shout of annoyance, and Ding Li was excited, "You...... If you dare to speak wildly, you will definitely know how powerful Your Highness is! ”

As soon as the words fell, a flurry of arrows was like locusts, and the girls screamed and ran in all directions, and the armorers immediately raised their long knives and waved them to block the rain of arrows.

"I'm amazing, you don't know, but you're not as good as your big brother anyway! Even the dancing girls are afraid of the bad seeds, what kind of prince are they fighting for? Ding Li slowly raised his spear, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Since you don't dare to come down, it's better to go back to Jinling as soon as possible, so that the world can know that you don't dare to fight the girl Zhao Erlang!" ”

The armor soldiers struck their shields with their swords, and the sound of shouting and beating gradually became the sound of mountains and seas under the city walls:

"Don't dare to fight the girl Zhao Erlang! Don't dare to fight the girl Zhao Erlang! ”
