Duoduo also seemed to be frozen, and stood there for a long time.

"Master? Master? Master? He Luo would shout three times in a row, but Duoduo did not respond.

"Master?" He Luohui couldn't help but gently poke Duoduo with his hand, and Duoduo fell straight down.

"Master!" He Luo let out a heart-rending wail, and hurriedly rushed forward with Ah Shan to help Duoduo up, only to find that in just a moment, Duoduo's face had turned into white paper.

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and call Lang Zhong!" He Luo would hiss and roar again.

"What else are you looking for, the prince is frozen, carry it back!"

After Ah Shan finished speaking, he yelled at Fan Chengmo and Hou Fangyu: "You two dog slaves, why don't you hurry back to the bunker to burn the kang up, why do you want to freeze the prince?" ”

Hou Fangyu hurriedly followed Fan Chengmo and ran back in a panic.

While running, he was secretly frightened, and the Qing court lost this battle miserably today.

The wave just now, to say the least, also buried more than 2,000 elites with two white flags!

This Yan Yingyuan, I really didn't see it before, it was so powerful!

……

Hou Fangyu is not the only one who has the same sigh.

Mao Xiang and Fan Zhongjie were also secretly frightened, especially Fan Zhongjie, everyone was stupid.

After a long time, Fan Zhongjie finally came back to his senses, sighed and said: "When I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when I was young, I was often amazed by the endless conspiracies and tricks in the book, especially when I read the empty city plan, I was even more excited that I couldn't help myself, and I hated Zhuge Liang who couldn't be substituted for the book until I grew ......up."

"When I grew up, I realized that it was just the nonsense of the family."

"Where did so many intrigues come from on a real battlefield?"

"What there is on the battlefield is nothing more than the sacrifice of soldiers on both sides, but the consumption of grain and grass on both sides, and the competition of national strength between the two countries."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "But this time in the battle of Shanyang, I began to believe that there was really a plan, Jian Heng burned Jiannu three times before and after, and today he flooded Jiannu with no less than 5,000 people, such a plan is really breathtaking, that is, Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is here, I'm afraid it's just that?" ”

Hearing Fan Zhongjie praise Yan Yingyuan so much, Mao Xiang was not jealous, but felt first-class and honored.

This is Yan Yingyuan, this is the scholar of the Shizi Battalion, and he is also one of the Shizi Battalion!

At that moment, he asked Fan Zhongjie with a smile: "Fuzun, now you shouldn't be worried about the safety of Shanyang City, right?" ”

"Don't worry anymore, with you and Jae-hyung here, what else is there to worry about." Fan Zhongjie smiled and said, "If it weren't for my duty, I would like to go back to the mansion to sleep." ”

Fan Zhongjie couldn't stop laughing after speaking.

Mao Xiang also laughed.

……

Duoduo was still in a state of confusion.

Lang Zhong gave Duoduo the most comprehensive examination.

"How?" He Luohui asked with concern.

"My lord, the prince is fine." Lang Zhong shook his head and said.

"What, it's all right?" Ah Shan frowned and said, "If the prince is really fine, why didn't he react when I waited to talk to him?" ”

Speaking of which, Ah Shan shouted Duoduo again: "Lord Wang? ”

He Luohui also shouted eagerly: "Master? ”

However, Dodor remained unresponsive, just staring at the wall in front of him.

"You dog, you still say that the prince is fine." Ah Shan grabbed Lang Zhong's shirt with his chest, and said angrily, "Do you want to excuse your incompetence, me?" ”

"Your Excellency, the prince is really fine."

Lang Zhong said in a panic: "The prince was just stimulated and had a hypothesis." ”

"Hypothesis?" Ahsan and He Luo met and looked at each other, which was terrible.

The so-called hypothesis, in modern terms, is actually autism.

suffered losses under Yan Yingyuan's men in a row, and the losses suffered were more ruthless and miserable every time, especially this time today, Duoduo had been carefully planning for many days, and even sent an express delivery to Beijing, and swore in the express delivery to Dolgon, saying that this time he would definitely take Shanyang, but in the end, he ......

How does this make Duoduo embarrassed? So it was just self-contained.

……

Duoduo had been beaten to the point of self-sufficiency, but Yan Yingyuan did not relax in the slightest.

As soon as Jiannu retreated, Yan Yingyuan began to strengthen the defense of the corner tower.

Thanks to Duoduo can't see this, if he sees this scene, he will probably scold his mother: You unconscionable Yan Yingyuan, you are already so scheming, you have to go around when you see the ghost, and you are still working so hard, and you have to be so cautious and careful, you dead pervert, and let the unpleasant siege of the city? Do you want to force this king to death?

Seeing Yan Yingyuan staring at the corner tower for a long time, Zhi Tingji couldn't help but ask, "Wan Heng, do you have any ideas?" ”

Yan Yingyuan said thoughtfully: "Although we have tens of thousands of catties of Menghuo oil in reserve, but according to this consumption, I'm afraid it won't last too long, if nothing else, our Menghuo oil will definitely run out of military rations before Jiannu, so if we can't take precautions in advance, it will be troublesome." ”

"Huh?" Zhi Tingzhi said, "Jiannu's grain and grass have been burned twice by you with fire, so there should be not much left." ”

"Hey, you can't be so hasty." Yan Yingyuan said, "If you expect the enemy to be lenient, you should still be lenient when estimating the enemy, not to mention that although we have done our best to clear the wilderness, there will definitely be omissions, and Jiannu can still grab some of them, so the first thing that can't hold it out must be our Menghuo oil." ”

Zhi Ting said solemnly: "Then what should we do?" ”

Yan Yingyuan stared at the corner tower and said: "In short, there is no doubt that the corner tower was demolished by Jiannu, since this is the case, there is no need to do unnecessary repairs, the so-called blockage is better than sparse, rather than spending a lot of money to repair the collapsed corner tower, it is better to simply let Jiannu into the city, yes, simply let them into the city!" ”

"Huh?" Zhi Ting's voice was lost, "Let Jiannu enter the city?!" ”

"Yes, just let Jiannu into the city!" Yan Yingyuan said, "After you put it in the city, you will close the door and beat the dog!" ”

"Huh? Put into the city and close the gate to beat the dog? Zhi Tingji's expression suddenly moved, and he said, "You mean? ”

"Just as the county lord you think, build an urn city!" Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "Youlao County Zun led the people to demolish all the houses within 30 steps of the corner tower. ”

"The demolished houses will be compensated according to the market value."

"After demolishing the houses, we will build an urn city."

"There is no need to leave a gate for this urn city, it does not need to be too high, and it does not need to be built too strong."

Speaking of this, Yan Yingyuan paused for a while, and said: "Just build an earthen wall two zhang high and one zhang wide, enclose the area inside the corner tower into a closed urn city with a radius of thirty steps, and prepare more firewood, wheat, straw, sulfur, fire and nitrate and other fire-causing things on the head of the city. ”

"Huh? It's fire attack again! The Zhi Ting's advice was awe-inspiring.

……

At this time, Tunqi, He Luohui, and Ahsan, the three solid mountain Ezhen, as well as the two white flags and the blue flags, more than a dozen Mel Zhangjing, Baya Laxu Zhangjing, had already gathered in front of Duoduo and were deliberating.

As the commander, Duoduo has already suffered from hypothesis, and the fate of the army can only be decided by the nobles of them, which is also the rule of Jiannu.

In fact, it mainly depends on the three solid mountains.

Although He Luohui is a sycophant, his ability is actually good.

He Luohui said: "The battle of Shanyang City has been fought to this point, and the withdrawal must not be withdrawn, this is not only the face of our Eight Banners soldiers, but also related to the success or failure of the Xuzhou battlefield, if we can't raise food, what can the army of Xuzhou do to continue to besiege Xuzhou?" Do you rely on Tuntian? ”

Ah Shan frowned and said, "Even if it is Tuntian, someone must farm." ”

He Luohui said: "Therefore, the battle of Shanyang must continue, and the hundreds of thousands of stone military rations that Chongzhen hid in the Shanyang treasury must be grabbed, this point is not negotiable." ”

Tun Qi said coldly: "You don't need to say this, but the question is how to fight?" ”

Ah Shan continued: "There is another question, our remaining food can last for half a month at most, if we still can't take Shanyang City within half a month, what will we do then?" ”

He Luohui and Tun Qi immediately fell silent when they heard this.

In the end, he still inlaid the white flag Melle Zhangjing Shitu and said: "Otherwise, the army will still stay in Shanyang and continue to attack the city, and I will lead the bannermen of Wuniulu to collect grain around, I don't believe that Minggou can really collect all the grain within a radius of dozens of miles from Shanyang City to the city, and not even a grain will be dropped." ”

He Luohui immediately said: "Cheng, then you will lead Wuniulu to collect grain, and go now." ”

"Huh!" Shi Tu got up, got down on one knee and punched Duoduo, then turned and hurried away.

He Luohui said again: "Okay, then the question now is, how to fight next?" My opinion is to continue the demolition of the eight corner towers, what do you think? ”

Tun Qi said coldly: "There is no problem in demolishing it, but we have been breaking the blue flag for six days, and we have also paid a heavy price of thousands of flag soldiers killed, so it is the turn of you two white flags next." ”

"What are you talking about?" Ah Shan said angrily, "In the battle of Shanyang, you put the blue flag and died? More people died in our two white flags, and a whole seven Niu Lu were killed in the battle today! ”

Tunqi retorted: "We also have more than 2,000 dead. ”

Ah Shan said angrily: "We have more than 3,000 dead coats of two white flags!" ”

"Okay, what are you doing about this? Is it glorious? He Luohui didn't have a good breath, "The battle of Shanyang has been fought so far, and the situation has been extremely unfavorable to me, so at this time, we must no longer have internal friction, but must work together to tide over the difficulties, so we might as well adopt a compromise method." ”

"What's the method?" Ah Shan and Tun Qi asked in unison.

He Luohui said: "The two white flags are each responsible for demolishing the six corner towers, and the remaining two corner towers are demolished by the blue flag, and then agree, which flag is the first to be demolished, only this flag will be allowed to enter and loot on the first day!" ”

"Agreed." Tun Qi said coldly, "We are in charge of the two corner towers by the canal. ”

After the discussion, the three flags were demolished.

At the same time of demolition, continue to raise the earthen platform for covering.

……

The brutal demolition continued for another six days.

The two white flags and the blue flags have paid a lot of price, and the casualties of the Ming army are not small, and what is worse is that the Menghuo oil has been used up.

Now you can only be forced to use straw balls, wheat straw balls, and 10,000 enemies.

However, the killing effect is much worse than that of Menghuo oil, so the speed of demolition is significantly accelerated.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the twenty-fourth of March, and in the evening, Jiannu finally withdrew to the camp, and also dragged the cart back, and the Ming army and townsmen who were sticking to the corner tower sat on the ground.

The First Clan

The battle of Shanjiu has lasted until now, and it has been half a month.

The number of dead and wounded villagers has exceeded 5,000.

As the number of people decreases, so does the load on each villager.

So after a day of fierce fighting, the townspeople guarding the city all had a feeling of prostration.

Yan Yingyuan was also very tired, but he couldn't sit down and rest, he had to collect the body of the fallen Xiangyong, settle the wounded Xiangyong, and check and replenish all kinds of materials for defending the city.

When I checked the southeast corner tower, I happened to encounter the branch court.

"County honor?" Yan Yingyuan was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

"What do you see over there?" Zhi Tingzhi pointed to the side of the guide.

Yan Yingyuan looked in the direction of Zhi Ting's finger, and his expression suddenly froze, what he was most worried about had finally happened, and Jiannu had finally sent a partial division to the surrounding towns and villages to loot.

Judging from the ruts left by the carriage when it ran over the ground, it was clear that this trip was a full load.

"Wan Heng, I have counted just now, there are more than two hundred and forty carriages in total." Zhi Ting admonished, "If a cart contains seven stones, it is 1,900 stone of grain, which is enough for the army of Jiannu to eat for three days." ”

After a pause, he said, "So I don't understand, where does the food come from?" ”

"The county really doesn't know?" Yan Yingyuan was obviously mentally prepared for this.

"How does the county know?" Zhi Tingzhi estimated that he really didn't know, shook his head and said, "You know? ”

"Here's a little bit of it." Yan Yingyuan said suddenly, "It's nothing more than those gentry clans who can't trust the imperial court, and are unwilling to transport all the grain to the city, but find a place to hide, and they are found by Jiannu." ”

"These people are damned." Zhi Ting stomped his feet and said, "They are the enemy, the enemy!" ”

Yan Yingyuan said suddenly: "County Zun, it is meaningless to say these things now, instead of complaining here, we still prepare as many fire-igniting things as possible, and give Jiannu a head-on blow in the corner tower that is about to collapse!" ”

"Oh, yes." Zhi Tingzhi woke up like a dream and said, "Now is indeed not the time to settle accounts with these people. ”

Seeing Zhi Tingzhi leave, Yan Yingyuan said in his heart, not only is it not the time to settle accounts, even if Shanyang is defended, even if the Huanghuai defense line is completely defended, it is not time to settle accounts.

The national policy of the saint is to rely on the gentry clan in the south of the Yangtze River.

But in the long run, sooner or later these people will be liquidated.

Yan Yingyuan is not only full of wisdom in fighting, but also has a unique vision in terms of political opinions, and he has even seen Chongzhen's future governance strategy, which can be seen from Chongzhen's edict at the beginning.
