Chongzhen shouted again: "Block Yinxi." ”

Gu Yinxi stepped forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

Chongzhen said: "When the towns launch a counterattack, they will lead the people of Xuzhou to go out of the city to fill in the blockade ditch, and the more than ten miles of blockade ditch between Yunlong Mountain and the Yellow River will be filled in first!" ”

"Command!" Plug Yinxi promised to do so.

Chongzhen said again: "Jin Xuan." ”

Jin Xuan stepped forward and responded, "The minister is here." ”

Chongzhen said: "Jiannu has eight banners Mongolia and foreign Mongolia, after our army launched an attack, the Mongolian cavalry will definitely arrive in a short time to help the battle, our army infantry may not be afraid of the Mongolian cavalry, but the lack of protection of the people, once attacked by the Mongolian cavalry, a large number of casualties, and then affect the operation of filling the blockade ditch." ”

After a pause, he said: "Therefore, your cavalry battalion needs to follow Minzhuang out of the city together, responsible for covering Minzhuang's landfill operations, and if there is spare time, you can also help the infantry to fight." ”

"Commandment." Kim Hyun bowed his hand and stepped back again.

Chongzhen turned his gaze to Zheng Hongkui again: "Zheng Hongkui." ”

"The minister is here." Zheng Hongkui stepped forward and promised loudly.

Chongzhen said: "When Jin Shenghuan and they break through the blockade line, they will attack the pontoon bridge on the river, and after destroying the pontoon bridge, they will first cooperate with the infantry to destroy the Jiannu Fort on the west bank of the Yellow River, and then take the foot soldiers of Jin Shenghuan to the east bank, continue to destroy the Jiannu Fort on the east bank of the Yellow River, and be sure to completely destroy the river defense and penetrate the Caoyun!" ”

"Commandment." Zheng Hongkui waved his hand and agreed.

Chongzhen finally shouted outside the Xingyuan Gate: "Yang Ponu." ”

Yang Ponu, who was guarding outside the line, entered the room: "The villain is here." ”

Chongzhen said: "You pick a dozen good water-based, go out of the city now, go to Xiazhen and Pizhou to report the news, let Huang Degong and Lu Zhenfei send troops, and drag the house slaves at all costs!" ”

"Command." Yang Ponu turned around and ran out.

Chongzhen's gaze finally fell on Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude.

Seeing this, Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian subconsciously straightened their chests.

Chongzhen smiled and asked Gao Qiqian first: "Gao Companion, does your butt hurt?" ”

Gao raised his sorrowful face and said: "Long live Lord, the old slave is honest, it really hurts." ”

The chief soldiers and civilian officials present wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and it was really hard to hold back.

"If you know that it hurts, you should remember it for a long time, and you must be cautious in speaking and doing things in the future." Chongzhen snorted, and said, "The two of you will take the eunuchs and soldiers of the two towns under your command to organize all the old, young, women and children in Xuzhou City, and just wait for the people to fill in the trenches and immediately go out of the city and cut the wheat seedlings!" ”

"Lu Companion, Gao Companion, you must tell all the fathers and villagers that you don't work in vain."

"I will buy the wheat seedlings they harvested, and every 100 catties of seedlings is worth one tael of silver, and the children are not deceived!"

After saying this, Chongzhen said solemnly: "But if anyone dares to use green grass as wheat seedlings, not only will they have no silver to take, but they will be beaten up!" ”

"The old slave is waiting for the order!"

Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian were so excited.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go back and prepare." ”

"The ministers are leaving." Zheng Hongkui, Du Yinxi, Kim Hyun and others retired one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a group of civil officials and military generals and dozens of scholars left, and only Chongzhen's father and son and Li Xiangjun were left in the line, and Li Xiangjun looked a little unhappy. …

Zhu Cihong pulled Zhu Cijiong's sleeve.

"Big brother, what are you doing by pulling my sleeve?" Zhu Cijiong said with a confused face.

Zhu Cihong said in his heart, you boy chicken, you really don't understand anything, and you dare to stay here to hinder your father's eyes?

At that moment, Zhu Cihong hooked Zhu Cijiong's shoulder and said as he walked out: "When I read the Taigong Art of War yesterday, there was one article in it that I couldn't understand, you can help me refer to it in detail." ”

"What is the art of war?" Zhu Cijiong looked dazed.

"Let's go, let's go." Zhu Cihong couldn't help but say and pulled away.

Seeing the two Zhu Cihong brothers leave, Li Xiangjun finally found an opportunity: "Shengshang, the minister also wants to go to the battlefield, so you transfer the brothers and sisters in the national disaster drama troupe to the minister." ”

There was a faint hint of coquettishness between the words.

Chongzhen coughed dryly and said: "How can the tricks of the national disaster drama troupe know how to fight, you take them to fight with Jiannu, isn't that looking for death, it's better like this, when this battle is over, you go back to Nanjing to recruit a battalion of female soldiers, and then you can train them well, and then go to the battlefield when you have the opportunity in the future." ”

Li Xiangjun said: "What the saint says counts. ”

"You don't joke." Chongzhen pulled Li Xiangjun into his arms.

There are some things that are difficult to put back once they start, such as women.

However, Chongzhen is very sure that he can't reach the level of King Xu, King Zhou You, or Li Longji, and women are just a means of decompression for him, and it is impossible to indulge in addiction.

……

The moon is like practice, and the warm breeze is blowing.

Shang Kexi is taking Geng Jimao, Zu Zepu and other family members to inspect the pontoon bridge.

Zu Zepu is the second son of Zu Dashou, after the eldest son Zu Zelan was captured by the Ming army in the Battle of Xiazhen and escorted to Nanjing Jinchuan Gate to be beheaded, the second son Zu Zepu took the position of Zu Zelan.

Looking at the mighty Yellow River under the moonlight, Geng Jimao always felt a little uneasy.

At that moment, Geng Jimao walked a few steps and caught up with Shang Kexi: "Uncle, the little nephew feels that something is not right, something will happen tonight." ”

Zu Zepu who followed behind couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Zu Er, what are you laughing at?" Geng Jimao said angrily.

Zu Zepu said: "I didn't laugh at anything, but last night you said that it didn't feel right, and you didn't feel right the night before yesterday, and it still didn't feel right tonight, so little brother, I wondered, which night was right?" ”

"Eldest nephew, are you tired?" Shang Kexi smiled and patted Geng Jimao on the shoulder, "Otherwise, you can go back to sleep first." ”

"Uncle, even you don't believe me?" Geng Jimao suddenly became anxious, "Little nephew, I really don't feel right, something will happen tonight, we have to be prepared......"

While he was talking, there was a sudden sound of killing in the direction of Xuzhou City.

"Huh?" Shang Kexi's expression froze, and at the same time he looked up to the west.

"Look, what am I talking about?" Geng Jimao said urgently, "I said that something is going to happen, Zu Er, you didn't believe it just now, what now?" Nothing to say, right? ”

Zu Zepu ignored Geng Jimao and asked Shang Kexi: "King Zhishun, if the Ming army goes out of the city to counterattack, it will never only counterattack by land, there will definitely be action by water, we must be prepared in advance." ”

"Hmm." Shang Kexi nodded, "Light the beacon fire on the ship." ”…

"The prince has an order, light the beacon fire!" Zu Zepu immediately gave an order.

With the transmission of Shang Kexi's order, the beacon towers on more than 600 fishing boats that served as pontoon piers were lit one after another, and more than 600 beacon fires instantly illuminated the entire river.

As of today, the Eight Banners Han Army has collected more than 600 fishing boats.

And use these more than 600 fishing boats as bridge piers to build five pontoon bridges.

Of course, these pontoon bridges were only accessible to foot soldiers, not cavalry, because the two adjacent "piers" were spaced a dozen paces apart, connected by four strands of hemp rope in between.

Two of the strands of hemp rope were tied to planks three feet wide.

There is no problem with such a pontoon bridge, and the cavalry will shake badly.

Shang Kexi stood in the center of the first pontoon bridge upstream, looking upstream, only to see a quiet place under the moonlight, not to mention the bird boat of the military and naval division, not even a sampan.

However, Shang Kexi did not dare to take it lightly, and transferred the remaining Han musketeers to the pontoon bridge, and at the same time ordered the batteries on the east and west banks to burn the iron drill red and prepare for the fire.

However, there has been no movement in the direction of the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

However, in the direction of Xuzhou City across Yunlong Mountain, there was a sound of killing that shook the sky, and there were fires rising into the sky, almost illuminating the night sky in the western half, indicating that the fighting there was extremely tragic.

Moreover, as time passed, the war soon spread to the Yellow River on the eastern side of Yunlong Mountain.

I saw that the Ming army continued to bypass the north and south sides of Yunlong Mountain and launched an attack on the blockade ditch where the Qing army was stationed, and even the Ming army stationed on Yunlong Mountain also launched a dive.

The cannon roared, the fire soared into the sky, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Not good!" Shang Kexi's heart sank for a moment when he saw this.

Zu Zepu also cried out: "The West Bank Fort is in danger!" ”

"Quick!" Shang Kexi immediately made a decision, "The musket team is a team of 100 people and rushes to the west bank battery!" At the same time, the commanders of each fort were not allowed to take half a step back before the reinforcements of the Ten Kings arrived! Those who violate the order will be exterminated! ”

"Yes!" Zu Zepu made a thousand, got up and ran away.

Geng Jimao quietly slipped out to the east bank of the Yellow River.

The west bank of the Yellow River is no longer safe.

……

The Ming army of Jin Shenghuan, Wang Zuntan and Ma Huabao has also launched an attack.

It is difficult to attack from the foot of Yunlong Mountain, but it is easy to dive down from the mountain.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Jin Shenghuan's 5,000 border troops were killed in front of the Jiannu blockade ditch.

At this time, the Jiannu outside the blockade ditch had already been alarmed, and they were already standing behind the parapet wall of the blockade ditch in rows.

In the firelight, looking at the rows of Jiannu guarding behind the parapet, more than a dozen lieutenants, staff generals and guerrillas under Jin Shenghuan began to retreat.

How is this possible to win?

"Boss, Jiannu is ready."

"How can you fight this, if you rush forward, you will be sent to death."

"Boss, or let's howl a few times, and we'll have a good idea."

In a word, these generals have long been scared of Jiannu, and they have no eggs.

"Shut up!" Jin Shenghuan still has a little eyesight, he can already see that Chongzhen is very determined this time, so if the border army of the Ten Towns is really too cowardly and makes his old man lose face, he will definitely kill someone.

Therefore, if you don't contribute this time, you will definitely not be able to do it, and the saint has to give face.

But you don't have to work too hard, as long as it's not the worst performing town.

In this case, even if the holy butcher's knife is cut off, it will not be able to cut off his head.

At that moment, Jin Shenghuan shouted: "Set up the tiger squat cannon and give Lao Tzu a round first!" ”

Dozens of tiger squat cannons were quickly erected, and the tiger claws were fixed with iron drills, and the cannons were fired immediately.
