"The soldier who supervised the defense of Shanyang City is your classmate?" Duoduo was a little surprised.

"Exactly." Hou Fangyu said, "This person's surname is Mao, a single name is a Xiangzi, the ancestor is said to be a Mongolian, Xiaosheng and he are both Guozi Gongsheng, and the friendship is extremely good." ”

"Oh?" Duoduo was even more surprised, "The friendship is still excellent? ”

"Yes." Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "We and the other two friends are called the four sons of Jinling, because the four of us have the same family background, our talents are generally the same, and even our hobbies are about the same......

"Stop." Duoduo interrupted again, "This king asks you, this person has participated in the camp of scholars?" ”

"Yes." Hou Fangyu was a little embarrassed, "Mao Xiang was slapped by Emperor Chongzhen's dog for a few words, and he was enthusiastic, and he really believed what Chongzhen said about taking the world as his own responsibility." ”

Duoduo asked again: "Then this Mao Xiang was sent by Chongzhen to Shanyang to train troops and defend the city?" ”

"Yes." Hou Fangyu nodded, and said, "But in addition to this classmate of mine, there is another scholar, this person used to be the history of Jiangyin, and it is said that he fought with Haikou. ”

"Haikou?" Duoduo and Holo would laugh at each other.

What kind of war is a war with a pirate? It's just a child's house.

After a long time, Duoduo continued: "This time God really helped me in the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen actually sent two scholars who didn't know anything but knew how to read to come to Shanyang to train and defend the city, hahaha!" ”

The nobles of the Eight Banners respected prestigious and capable celebrities, such as Hong Chengchou.

But two little-known scholars still forget it, what is the use of just two scholars?

Duoduo and these Eight Banner nobles didn't know that Suining County, Taoyuan County, and Qinghe County were also soldiers from the Shizi Camp guarding the city, if they knew this, I am afraid they would not think so.

It's a pity that Duoduo and the Eight Banners nobles didn't know this at this time.

"Master." He Luohui licked his lips and said with a cruel smile, "What if the city is broken this time?" ”

"You don't need to be reminded of this, a dog minion." Duoduo smiled and said, "After the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed for three days!" The goods, people, and livestock obtained during this period are all owned by the bannermen! ”

"Master Shengming!" He Luo was overjoyed.

"Lord Wangming!" The rest of the nobles were also overjoyed.

At this moment, Fan Chengmo, who was following behind Duoduo, suddenly sighed.

"What's that?" Duoduo turned his head and glared at Fan Chengmo and said, "You dog slave, this king hasn't beaten you for almost half a month, and you're itching, right?" ”

"Well, no." Fan Chengmo hurriedly said, "Master, haven't you found out?" ”

"Found what?" Duoduo raised his whip reluctantly, and made a gesture to smoke Fan Chengmo's face door.

Fan Chengmo didn't dare to hide, but just closed his eyes and said, "Master, there is no one in the platform outside the city." ”

"Huh? No one in the platform? Duoduo was a little stunned and looked at the Ming army in front of him.

Almost at the same time, the white flag-inlaid Pala Lama Rinja Kiniyaha also galloped back.

When he came to Dord's horse, Nyaha suddenly saw darkness and almost fell off his horse.

But fortunately, he reacted quickly, and Nyaha grabbed the saddle bridge with his quick hand to avoid falling off his horse.

"Nyaha, are you alright?" Duoduo frowned and said, "Your face is very bad, do you want to rest?" ”

"Back to the master, the slave is fine." Niyaha didn't want to miss the good opportunity to make a contribution, shook her head and said, "The minions have already found out the situation outside Shanyang City. ”

……

At the same time, Yan Yingyuan and Mao Xiang had already ascended the northeast corner tower of Xicheng.

Standing in the northeast corner tower of the west city, you can just condescendingly see the Jiannu army coming along the canal in the north, only to see the black pressure Jiannu army spread all over the earth, extending from near to the end of the field of vision.

"Brother Jianheng, can you see how many people there are in Jiannu?" Mao Xiang asked.

"The exact number is uncertain, but it is still possible to tell more or less." After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again, "If nothing else, the strength of Jiannu should be between 70,000 and 80,000. ”

"Seventy or eighty thousand? It's all cavalry! Mao Xiang's expression was heavy.

Yan Yingyuan said: "The saint said that Jiannu will bring their coats with them when they go out on the expedition, so among these 70,000 or 80,000 people, half of them should be coat slaves, and the real Jiannu is more than 30,000 people." ”

Mao Xiang said: "More than 30,000 Jiannu is already terrible. ”

After saying this, Mao Xiang asked again: "Brother Wanheng, do you really want to give up all the platforms outside the city?" ”

"Really give up." Yan Yingyuan said with great certainty, "Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and although the Shengshang's battle method is sharp, it is harmful to our Shanyang's city defense. ”

Yan Yingyuan's defensive strategy in Shanyang City was very different from the defensive strategy adopted by Huaxia in Suining County and Lu Xiangtong in Taoyuan County.

The reason is also very simple, because Shanyang does not have a sufficient number of tiger squat guns.

There are more than 200 guns outside Shanyang City, and according to the standards of Xuzhou, Xiazhen and Pizhou, at least 400 tiger squat cannons must be equipped, but in fact there are only 50.

On average, four guns are less than a tiger squat cannon.

However, without a tiger squat cannon, the platform is soulless.

Without the presence of the Tiger Squat Cannon, the adjacent platforms would not be able to support each other, and the Jiannu would be able to move freely in the trenches between the various platforms without worrying about being attacked by the platforms.

"The Evil God"

Jiannu didn't even have to go through the trench between the platforms, and could go directly to the canal.

Because the ice of the canal is more than a foot thick, it is enough for a large army to pass.

In view of this, Yan Yingyuan simply gave up the platform outside the city, and concentrated his forces to defend the east and west cities, as long as Jiannu did not transfer Hongyi cannons from Xuzhou, there was still a great certainty of holding Shanyang City.

In the final analysis, Shanyang's urban defense facilities are much stronger than those of a small county town like Suining.

"Well, the military side is up to you." Mao Xiang nodded, and asked again, "Brother Wanheng, I always feel unsteady in my heart, why don't I let all the villagers go to the city now?" ”

On the first day of his arrival in Xuzhou, Jiannu launched a rapid attack and tried to defeat the Ming army.

In this matter, Chongzhen has specially sent messengers to inform the townsmen of Xia Town, Pizhou and Huai'an Mansion, in order to make Xia Town, Pizhou and Huai'an Mansion more vigilant and not repeat the mistakes of Xuzhou.

Chongzhen has a shizi camp in Xuzhou as a backhand, but there are no shizi camps in Xiazhen, Pizhou and Huai'an Fu.

"Not necessarily." Yan Yingyuan said firmly, "Brother Bijiang, don't worry, Jiannu will not attack in a hurry, not to mention that even if Jiannu really launches a rapid attack, it will be fine." ”

Shanyang City is still different from Yunlong Mountain.

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again: "Let's see how Jiannu will set up camp first." ”

Mao Xiang said: "Do you still need to see this?" Jiannu will definitely stay in the platform we built outside the city, this cold day, how warm it is in the platform, Jiannu also saves setting up tents. ”

"I think so too." Yan Yingyuan smiled slightly.

Mao Xiang's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "Brother Wan Heng, do you have any ideas?" ”

"It's a bit of a lake idea." Yan Yingyuan nodded, then shook his head again and said, "But I haven't completely thought about it yet, I have to think about it again when I go back, and think about it again." ”

Mao Xiang suddenly sighed and said: "If we had known that we had to give up the platform outside the city, and Jiannu would be stationed in the platform, we should really make an article about these platforms, such as burying sulfur and nitrate and other fire-causing things under the ground of the platform in advance, and then wait for Jiannu to settle in and then ignite the platform and burn these barbarians." ”

"It's definitely not going to work." Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said.

"Jiannu is not stupid, and he is not blind."

……

On the other side, Doddor asked Nyahah, "Is there anyone in the platform?" ”

"Yes." Niyaha nodded and said, "We checked more than twenty platforms and found that they were all empty, not only were these platforms empty, but the countryside outside the city was also empty!" ”

Duoduo said, "So everyone has taken refuge in the city. ”

He Luo would say: "People can enter the city, what about cattle and sheep and goods?" ”

"I didn't find it either." Niyahadao, "I guess I was brought into the city as well." ”

He Luohui laughed, and said to Duoduo: "Master, this has become a good thing. ”

"Hmm." Duoduo also sneered, and said, "The surrounding people have all hid in Shanyang City, so we don't have to divide our troops to go out to plunder, and we only need to take Shanyang to get all the cattle and sheep goods." ”

He Luohui asked Duoduo again: "Master, why don't you camp at the platform built by the Ming army tonight?" ”

"Yes." Duoduo nodded and said, "However, you still have to carefully inspect the platform to see if the dog has left any hidden passages in the platform, or hidden sulfur, fire and other things that cause fire. ”

"Master, don't worry." He Luo would sneer, "The agency secretly said don't want to escape the minions' eyes, even if it's just a rat hole, the minions will find out, at least the sulfur and fire nitrate, let alone the minions' noses." ”

Although He Luohui said so, he didn't think that Ming Jun could have such a brain.

Didn't you listen to Hou Fangyu, there are two scholars who are responsible for guarding Shanyang.

It's just a scholar, not Zhuge Liang, can he have such a clever calculation?

However, in his heart, he thought that He Luohui still personally took a team of flagmen, and carefully checked the ten of them, and found that there were no problems in them, and then reported them to Duoduo.

When Dordor received the report, he immediately ordered the army to enter the camp at the Fortress.

……

The sky quickly darkened, and when he saw a team of Jiannu entering the platform, a smile appeared on the corner of Yan Yingyuan's mouth.

"Brother Bijiang, hurry up and go back and get a good night's sleep." Yan Yingyuan said, "In the next period, maybe ten days, maybe half a month, maybe longer, I'm afraid you will rarely get a good night's sleep." ”

"Makes sense." Mao Xiang thought so, and the two of them said goodbye to each other at the moment.

Yan Yingyuan was in charge of military affairs, and he had to live on the city tower for a long time from tonight.
