Chapter 62: The Bloody Battle of Datong XV

I heard that the Qing army had besieged Datong, and the crisis in Taiyuan was not far away.

Chen Yongfu sat on the desk with a scroll in his hand, wanting to calm down with the words of the sages, but the thoughts in his mind were full of the war in Shanxi.

Distraught, a subordinate outside the door asked softly: "Master, there are outsiders who want to see you." ”

"Nope." This Han and Li Zhiyi didn't think about the danger, and the drunk fans all day long even wanted to pull themselves in, and sent people to invite them to their homes for several days, Chen Yongfu was very annoyed by this.

"It is a shame for my generation to be in the company of such a young man!" After that, he snorted coldly and put the book down heavily, and he was not interested.

Seeing the figure outside the door, Chen Yongfu asked, "What are you still doing here?" The subordinate who was standing at the door of the room trembled when he heard this, and said, "That... The man asked the little one to bring a message to the master. ”

"Say."

With the permission of the master, the subordinate swallowed the saliva that had been in his mouth for a long time, and conveyed it word for word: "He said, the white king of the sun and the moon, the alliance under the city." ”

After saying that, there was no movement in the room, and the subordinate put his ear to the door and listened carefully.

After a while, Chen Yongfu's voice came out: "Bring him to the study to see me." ”

When the subordinate heard this, he hurriedly walked to the gate, and in front of the outsiders who asked to see him, he sighed and said, "Our master said, I don't see a guest today, please go back." ”

The man was dressed in coarse cloth but wore a hat veil, hiding the true face of Lushan. Hearing such a reply, without saying much, he took out five taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed them into his hands.

"The master is in a bad mood, so you have to pay attention to what you say." Accepting this second piece of silver, the next person turned his head with a smile and led the way, and did not forget to tell him on the way.

"It should."

...........

When the door opened, he could smell the smell of soup and medicine, Yang Lianbing walked out with a wooden box with tears on his face, bowed to everyone outside the door, and turned his head to the back kitchen. Then there was Li Xuan, who was sweating profusely in the medicine box, Wang Chengen gently closed the door of the room, and said to the people who were waiting anxiously outside the house: "Long live the lord sleeps, let's go back." ”

Hearing that His Majesty was ill, there was an endless stream of visitors. After Wang Chengen finished speaking, Sun Xuanhuai took Li Xuan's hand and asked, "Doctor Li, what is your majesty's illness?" ”

"Alas, the Son of Heaven became ill from hard work and contracted the wind and evil into the body, and he needs to take medicine on time and rest for half a month to recover."

"That's good, that's good." Everyone was relieved to hear that the Son of Heaven was fine. But in this current situation, if the backbone of the main heart falls, what should be done next? The Qing soldiers were still eyeing the outside of the city.

Song Xiance wanted to step forward to talk to Wang Chengen, but Sun Xuanhuai took the lead. Sun Xuanhuai also didn't stop for a few days, his spirit seemed a little sluggish, and he cheered up and said: "Princess, this is ..... next."

"We don't know, alas." Wang Chengen looked back at the door with a sad face.

"Princess, did you hear the voice?" Song Xiance asked with his ear sideways, Wang Chengen immediately stopped listening carefully, but there was a sound in the room, and he hurriedly turned back to the house. After a while, Wang Chengen leaned out of the door and beckoned to Sun Xuanhuai, who immediately understood.

Chongzhen was lying on the couch with beads of sweat in his head, and Yang Lianbing boiled ginger soup to feed, and a bowl of ginger soup made his stomach sweat, and he woke up for a short time.

Wang Chengen took a hot towel to wipe Chongzhen's body at the head of the bed, and Sun Xuanhuai stood aside with his body bowed.

"Xingsheng."

"The minister is here."

"I'm going to let you see the jokes..... Chongzhen was still thinking about making a joke about his illness, but he felt a feeling of dizziness and nausea hit him, so he immediately changed his mind and made a long story short.

"Outside the city, Wang Jinchao still needs to be in charge, call Yang Bo back first, and try to hold it for two more days." Chongzhen's words were intermittent, and he had to think for a long time between each sentence, and Sun Xuanhuai listened quietly.

"I have two strange soldiers, all the way around and running, all the way to kill the tiger's mouth."

Chongzhen's voice became weaker and weaker, "Two days.... We must keep it for two more days..."At this point, Chongzhen was no longer able to support it, and fell asleep again.

Wang Chengen stopped his movements and nodded at Sun Xuanhuai, who quietly retreated.

.......

After ten days of fierce attack, Dagubian, who had not made any achievements in the south, was not happy, and returned to the camp with his troops to find the theory of harmony.

"Lord Belle, where am I not as good as Mengchai?" Dagubian was very dissatisfied with Hedu's arrangement, and all the men in the flag were brought out, and they ate all the food they brought, but they didn't fight a battle, how will they do it in the future?

With the delay of time, Hedu also felt that he was too worried, Dashun and Daming are mortal enemies, where is the reason for mutual aid. He was also a little embarrassed about Dagubian's dissatisfaction, so he smiled and comforted: "Dagubian, don't be angry, when the grain comes, I'll just give you more." ”

"Little prince, food is secondary, my people are going to attack the city today!"

"Okay, yes." For Dagubian's eagerness to fight, he is very appreciative. Moreover, in fact, he is also in a hurry, if he continues to drag on, the credit will be Amma's.

"I'll give you the command, and within a day, I'll see results."

Dagubian was overjoyed, and immediately returned to the camp with the order to recuperate, and the incompetent Mengchai! Even the Ming army fought so hard, and if he Dagu was in the north, he would have captured it a long time ago.

........

Hedu set off in a hurry, and the soldiers' rations were only brought for about ten days, and the follow-up supplies still needed to be transferred from Xuanfu. The Qing soldiers of Xuanfu were all taken to the front line of Datong by Hedu, resulting in no escort from the grain transport team sent from Xuanfu, only more than ten horsemen accompanied them.

In Hedu's opinion, the current Ming army in Guannai is too weak, so weak that it has no ability to surprise his rear.

The procession of transporting grain was immense, the carts were pulling grain and grass collected from all over Xuanfu, and the Mongol cavalry was loitering in front and behind the procession, urging the Nikan slaves to go quickly.

"Look, sir." He Qiu pointed to the black dot in the distance.

Jiang Huo squinted his eyes and looked in the direction, and soldiers kept coming out of the mountains and forests behind him, and they were only a few miles away from the official road of Tianzhen County under the mountain.

"It should be the food team of the Tartars, and the order should be sent down so that the brethren can rest on the spot."

"Yes."

Climbing all the way over the mountains, Jiang Huo took the remaining 2,200 soldiers and appeared near the official road connecting Xuanda. And by chance, he ran into Hedu's logistics food team, in this case, how can there be any reason not to do his vote?

The grain cart was slow to move, and it was bold to let it go first, and wait for his soldiers to recuperate, and then follow the night attack with leisure.

"You two come with me." Jiang Huo ordered two family members to go with him to investigate, and he wanted to find out the strength of the grain team and the location of the overnight stay.
