In recent years, a new layer of wall bricks has been added to the periphery of the city wall of Daning City, which is very solid from the outside.

However, according to the "internal response" in the city, the city wall in the northwest is nothing but dilapidated, and it cannot withstand the heavy bombardment of artillery fire at all.

In the spirit of "hitting a pole with dates without dates," Li Yutian arranged half of the artillery there, and as soon as the sky dawned, he began to bombard it in turns.

In the city, the general defending the city is Shuosai, the king of Yujun in the Qing Dynasty, since he was trapped in the city, he has been trying to find a way to break through, but the Mongolia on the east side of Daning City has surrendered, and the Mongolia on the west side has been transferred by Azig The main force has been withdrawn, and it is powerless to support.

Yongning and other cities have also been abandoned by Dolgon, and it is really difficult to support a lonely city by itself.

But as the king of the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible for him to surrender, so he had to use 2,000 captives in his hands to forcefully suppress the Mengba Banner soldiers in the city and try his best to defend the city.

Boom......

Bursts of artillery rang out, and Shuo Sai was shocked, "So fast? Is the Ming army ready to start the general offensive? ”

"Lord Wang, the Ming army outside the city began to shell the city wall."

Shuo Sai listened, and hurriedly led people out of the mansion and went straight to the east gate.

He galloped all the way, and gradually heard that something was wrong, "Why is the artillery sound in the northwest more dense, but there is no movement on the east side of the city where the Ming army camp is located." ”

"Turn around and go to the northwest of the city!" Shuo Sai drank.

The royal soldiers reacted quickly and headed northwest.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Listening to the increasingly dense cannon sound, Shuo Sai's heart was extremely nervous.

In the past two years, with the smooth progress of the battle of Zhengming, Daning gradually changed from the front line to the rear, Shengjing almost never gave the city materials, he could only use the limited materials in the city to "whitewash" the outer wall, one is to confuse the Ming army that is almost impossible to attack, but also mainly to show the regent of Shengjing, in order to show his talents, so that he can return to Beijing as soon as possible and leave here.

He knew that the northwest city wall of Daning was the weakest, and the Ming army's bombardment method would collapse sooner or later, and he said in his heart: "Is the Ming army seeing the clues, or is the blind cat touching a dead mouse?" ”

When he ran to the head of the city, he opened his eyes and saw more than 30 cannons displayed outside the city, roaring in turn.

"The Ming army has moved most of the artillery here!" Shuo Se muttered.

A Niu Lu came hurriedly and said: "Master, in just this short time, the newly added city bricks outside the city have almost fallen off, and I believe that the Ming army will soon be able to discover the mottling of my city wall!" ”

Shuo Sai was frightened, paced back and forth, and asked: "My cityhead artillery, may hit the Ming army's artillery array?" ”

"Master, the range of the Ming army's artillery is 100 steps farther than ours, even if we borrow the height of the city wall, we can't fight back!"

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened, could they only watch the city collapse and be captured?

At this time, a weak man slowly stepped forward and said, "Lord, we can requisition the door panels and bed boards in the city, cover them with straw or quilts, and hang them on the periphery of the city wall to reduce the damage of artillery." ”

When Shuo Sai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "This method is feasible!" Hurry up and get ready! He turned to his head and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Before the man could answer, Niu Lu said: "This person's name is Zhu Da, and he is a strong man who was pulled back from the southwest side of Duoyan Mongolia when the slave was in the clear field. It's a Han Chinese. ”

Shuo Sai wanted to be rewarded, but when he heard that this person was Han, he changed his words, "You did a good job, you must reuse it,"

Niu Lu listened to it and understood it, and said yes again and again.

After Shuo Sai left, Niu Lu said to Zhu Da: "Seeing that you are weak, I think it is useless, I don't want you to have some knowledge, do you have any good ideas for defending the city?" ”

Zhu Da nodded: "General, I just said casually, where are there any good ideas." ”

Niu Lu snorted, "Then you can defend the city well, if you have any good ideas in the future, tell me first, don't say it casually, be careful of the misfortune coming out of your mouth." ”

Zhu Dalian said yes and retreated to the area where he let go.

When a few people with black cloth wrapped around their heads saw Zhu Da coming back, they hurriedly surrounded him, "Big brother, can you talk about the method of wooden boards?" ”

"Having said that, the prince immediately ordered to prepare, and I believe it will be arranged tonight."

"Great, when the eldest brother gets out of trouble, we believe that we will be saved in a few days." One person said excitedly.

When the words fell, several loud bangs exploded at the head of the city, killing many people.

Zhu Da looked at it and said: "Great, I don't want someone to be killed by the bombing at this time, if I get out of the city smoothly, Niu Lu asked, you can say that I was killed and buried, so as not to make him suspicious." ”

"Listen to big brother!" Several people replied.

That night, Jianyu really found hundreds of door panels and bed boards, firmly tied straw and other soft things, hung them with thick hemp rope, and hung them on the outer wall at night to block the potted city wall.

In the second half of the night, Zhu Da took advantage of the opportunity of his group to take turns guarding the city, climbed out of the city wall, and climbed down carefully along one plank after another.

Daning City is not too high, and it took Zhu Da less than a quarter of an hour to easily land, bend his waist, and secretly go west.

Walking not far from the camp of the Ming army, he took out a dagger, carefully cut off his rat tail, shaved a big bald head, and recited loudly at 70 steps outside the city: "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad!

Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing; When the courtiers hate, when will they perish. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the Ming army in the first battalion heard it, and after listening to it for a long time, he felt that it was a poem of the Han people, and hurriedly reported this strange thing inward.

After the military Chinese learned about it, they walked to the outer wall of the camp and listened carefully.

At this time, Zhu Da had already recited it for the third time, and he was already faintly anxious in his heart.

"Who is outside the camp, why did you come here late at night to recite Manjianghong?" There was a question from inside the camp.

Zhu Da was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "I am Daning Neiying, alias Zhu Da, please ask the general to inform Governor Li of the Chinese army, and say that I have important military information." ”

When the civil officials in the camp heard this, they were suspicious, "This person actually called Li Yutian the governor, not Liaoxi Hou, could it be that Lord Li sent it two months ago?" ”

"Do you have a certificate?" He asked aloud.

"Don't you have a certificate for the time being, you can tell Governor Li that I am the King of Song who is a thief." Zhu Da responded.

The civil official was even more suspicious, "Shun thief? Li Zicheng's person? Or, is this the code of the Marquis of Liaoxi and him? Thinking of this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the Chinese military tent.

At this time, Li Yutian was not asleep, and when he heard someone report, he put on his clothes and walked out of the big tent, "In the middle of the night, what's the matter?" ”

"Master Qiyu, just now someone outside the camp recited Manjianghong, claiming to be the king of Shun thief Song, and Daning Neiying."

"Oh?" Li Yutian frowned when he heard this, and asked, "How many people are coming?" ”

"Listen, it's just one person." The civil official replied.

"Be on guard, send someone to hang you from the camp wall, and send it to me secretly."

Li Yutian watched the civil official walk away, and thought to himself: "Self-proclaimed thief? King Song again? Who could it be? ”

He paced back and forth, analyzing the letters that had been ejected from the city in recent days, and suddenly rushed to the table and looked through it for a while.

I saw that every letter was signed, and there was the word "eldest son".
