The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 121
Since the last time Zou Xiaohu saw the power of the explosion, he looked at the things that Ning Qi was holding in his hand and trembled a little, and immediately nodded:
"It's done, twenty straw men, all rooted in the mountains."
"Okay, let's go."
It's still the back mountain last time, but this time Ning Qi placed twenty straw men in the test position, about the same height as a person, and he buried TNT and gunpowder in the middle of the straw man, which is three times more distance than the "trench" dug last time.
This time, Zou Xiaohu squatted in the pit very well-behaved early, and he also retreated to the pit after Ning Yi arranged it:
"Are you ready?"
Zou Xiaohu held two big shields on the heads of the two:
"Ning Gongzi, I'm ready."
Ning blamed himself on the lead of the gunpowder and set it on fire.
There was a sound of "boom", and for a moment, Ning Ji only felt that his eardrums were almost cracked, the ground under his feet and the dry branches in the entire mountain forest were shaken, the soil was splashed up for five or six meters, the heat wave rolled up, and the flying dirt and steel balls made Ning Ji and Zou Xiaohu dare not raise their heads at all.
This time the movement is much bigger than the last time, when the world returns to silence Ning Qi raised his head, the two people were all covered with soil, Ning Qi walked out, at this moment the pit is 10cm deeper than the last time, and the innermost layer of the twenty straw men around the explosives has been completely blown up at this moment, turning into charred black, the straw man "stumps" scattered on the ground are still on fire, and the outer layer has been half of the body is black.
Ning Qi measured the distance, the radiation range of this TNT can reach more than ten meters, and Ning Qi dug out the steel ball from the straw man's body, the steel ball was extremely deep, you can imagine how powerful such a weapon will be on the battlefield.
Zou Xiaohu was stupid when he got up, he thought that the explosives last time were scary enough, how could there be something more scary than the last time?
Ning blame has not done anything else in the past few days, but buried himself in the room to make TNT, and used up all the benzene left out last time.
Lu Liang did not wait for His Majesty's condemnation, but waited for the news of the imperial court's increase in troops, Li Qi's attitude was obvious, even if he filled it with the number of people, he would destroy Yan Yunzhou.
Lu Liang looked at the holy decree coming down from the middle of the court, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, these days he has been calculating the strength of the northern territory, the last time Yan Yunzhou had at least 1230,000 people in his hands, but the total number of soldiers and horses in the northern territory is limited, according to Yan Yunzhou's character, he will never sit back and watch several border cities in the north become empty cities, so there must be garrisons left behind in the border cities in the north.
He looked at a location on the map, the lair of Li Yan, the king of Jingjun, Youzhou, except for those brought out by Yan Yunzhou and those who stayed in the north, there will definitely not be many remaining troops left in Youzhou, and there is almost no strength in a battle, if you can win Youzhou, then the two sides will attack, even if it is Yan Yunzhou, there is no time to look around.
He looked at the location of Youzhou, the closest city to Youzhou in the north is Suizhou, which has become a ruined city, there can be no guards there, and Baicheng, which is farther away, will take at least a day to march from Youzhou, so the only reinforcements that can rush to Youzhou are the army in the hands of Yan Yunzhou.
It's just that he can't bypass Yan Yunzhou's defense and reach Youzhou at all, which is why Yan Yunzhou dares to bring so many people out, Lu Liang's eyes fell on Jinpan Mountain on the west side of Youzhou, if he can turn over Jinpan Mountain, then Youzhou is in danger.
But this road is too difficult to walk, he shook his fist, Yuzhou reinforcements are already east of Jinpan Mountain, he doesn't believe it, this mountain can't be overturned, even if 10,000 people can go over the mountain, he will admit it, not to mention that there are 40,000 reinforcements.
The idea of defeating Yan Yunzhou had become a demonic obsession in Lu Liang's heart, and he had forgotten the soldier who he had regarded as a sibling before, and only the thought of winning by any means was left in his mind.
"Use my talisman to send an order, the 40,000 defenders of Yuzhou who are reinforced don't have to rush to the general."
Even if 10,000 people are lost on the road, 30,000 is enough to capture Youzhou City, as long as he drags Yan Yunzhou, takes Youzhou, and attacks from both sides, he will still be the ultimate winner.
The author has something to say:
Director Ning's highlight is almost here, and he is sparkling
Chapter 93: Youzhou Danger
After more than ten days, there was no head-on confrontation between Lu Liang and Yan Yunzhou's army, both sides were resting and probing, and on this day Yan Yunzhou summoned the guards:
"Our grain and grass are not as sufficient as Lu Liang's, and if we continue to grind like this, we will be even more disadvantaged when Lu Liang's vitality recovers."
He raised his hand to circle a dot on the map, and Li Yan spoke:
"Luoshui Town?"
Yan Yunzhou nodded:
"Although Luoshui Town is a small town, it produces barley, which should be a relatively wealthy town in the north, but because it is backed by Zhangzhou, Zhangzhou Taishou connived at the local rich merchants to suppress grain prices, and collected barley from Luoshui Town at a low price, and then shipped it out at a high price.
Officials and businessmen colluded, among which Zhangzhou Taishou borrowed the generals under Shen Congfeng, and the people of Luoshui Town hated the surname Shen.
You see, from this road we can go around the back of Luoshui Town, the gate tower of Luoshui Town is the strongest of all the towns in this vicinity, with the river mouth in the southeast and the mountains in the northwest, which is much better than if we had camped here. ”
Yan Yunzhou has been fighting for more than ten years, and he knows all the cities in the north of Daliang, even a small town, very well, Li Yan nodded at the moment:
"There are no soldiers in Luoshui Town, we can sneak attack late at night, and then negotiate with the officials in the town, if there can be fewer conflicts, there will be fewer conflicts, and we can also reduce the damage to the city wall."
Yan Yunzhou nodded approvingly, they were on the side of the Qing monarch, and they were not too disturbing the people along the way.
"Lord Wang, Luoshui Town is not far from us, but it is not far from Lu Liang and them, as soon as we have movement here, we will definitely bite it over there."
Yan Yunzhou lowered his eyes, he was naturally not just for a Luoshui Town, he raised his hand and pointed at the map, his eyes sharpened:
"Luoshui Town is just piggybacking, what I want is the Chinese army that eats him.
Lu Liang will not stop for too long, after this battle, he will definitely be afraid of the power of gunpowder, and to avoid the large-scale killing of gunpowder, he will not choose to confront us head-on.
He will definitely take advantage of his large number of troops to create a siege, and Luoshui Town is on the northwest side of the mountain, and we only need a team of men and horses to ambush the top of the mountain to solve the western defense.
But once the division of troops is also a disadvantage for them, we will not separate confrontations with them, Li Han, if you encounter encirclement and suppression, you lead two thousand silver armor guards to raid from the southeast, the flanks are closed, and the silver armor guards are closely followed, and the whole army quickly becomes a first-line breakthrough.
To the position of Liangjia Mountain, pass through the ridge, behind the firearms camp, once you reach Liangjia Mountain, you don't have to be stingy with artillery fire, and I will destroy Lu Liang's Chinese army in Liangjia Mountain. ”
"Yes."
After a few days of quiet, the war was rekindled in this land, and Yan Yunzhou ate Lu Liang's mind to death, and sure enough, after the last battle, Lu Liang did not dare to meet Yan Yunzhou's edge head-on, and sure enough, he adopted the strategy of besieging and outflanking the whole line.
On the night of the next day, Yan Yunzhou's army occupied Luoshui Town, and Lu Liang's side moved quickly, and began to press up, almost giving them a chance to breathe, and the days of fighting made Yan Yunzhou's face very bad, and he had no appetite, but he didn't dare to have anything at this time, even if he didn't have an appetite, he would force himself to eat.
Li Yan saw that his state was really not good, so he opened his mouth to persuade:
"Brother Yan, you go back and rest, I haven't slept much this night, I will keep an eye on the front, and Lu Liang's people will not all surround for a while."
Yan Yunzhou was wrapped in a cloak, coughing, and did not refuse again, this battle could not be avoided, and they were going to break out in the afternoon at the latest:
"Okay, Your Highness, be careful."
Yan Yunzhou lay on the couch, the wound on his left arm Yang changed the dressing for him on his birthday, and every time he would apply allicin, he used to smell the smell of headaches and seemed to be used to it at the moment, smelling this smell, he could think of Ning Zhi, he was very tired in every part of his body, but he couldn't sleep.
He took out the letter of Ning Zhi that had been covering his heart, the edges of the letter were thin, and he saw a recent letter, sprinkled with doctor's orders, which explained in detail what condition he needed to use, and a picture for him to pass on to Yang Sheng.
The above is painted with two villains, a villain is lying down, a villain rubs his heart beside him, and even the position and posture of his hands should be drawn clearly, Ning Zhi knows that there must be a lot of blood loss from injuries on the battlefield, and Yan Yunzhou's body will increase the burden on his heart even more, and he even regrets why he didn't teach Yang Sheng hand in hand before he went out.
After Yan Yunzhou received this letter, he asked Yang Sheng to copy a copy of the picture by himself, and he still kept the original manuscript, he read Ning Yao's advice and instructions over and over again, and then re-packed the letter and slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, in Youzhou City, Ning's previous method has begun to bear fruit, and under the leadership of Mrs. Li, many military wives, women and children in the rear have joined the entire logistics army.
Luo Yueli is very efficient in doing things, spinning threads, raw materials have been divided early, and the prices for military shoes and uniforms have been set, and they are collected according to the time, and the money is paid on the spot.
Don't worry about sales, and don't owe money taels, the enthusiasm can be imagined, Ning Ji looked at the account books of the past few days and was finally relieved, Luo Yueli quipped:
"The women and children of the entire Youzhou City should thank you, you don't know how high you are now, your immortal cards in the Lu'an Temple in the north of the city have been placed from the hall to the outside of the hall."
Ning Qi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then touched his nose, and couldn't laugh or cry:
"It can't all be set up for me by these old and young women and children, right?"
Luo Yueli picked up the teacup and pursed her lips and chuckled:
"Naturally, not all, the epidemic in the northern suburbs a few months ago, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many people would die, those who have recovered and their families, they are all grateful to you, and those immortal cards are all you deserve."
The corners of Ning's lips hooked up a very light smile, and he was thanked by the patients and their families, which was a common thing in the past, but at this moment he still felt as if something was full in his heart, he didn't ask for gratitude, but it was naturally best to be treated sincerely.
At noon, Ning Ji left Luo Yueli here to have lunch, and before he finished eating, the battle report in front came over, Ning Ji immediately put down his chopsticks, Luo Yueli unfolded the letter, and after reading it, the expressions of the two people were a little solemn:
"It's another fight, Yan Yunzhou wants to eat Lu Liang's Chinese army this time."
In this letter, there was only one decent military report, and neither Li Yan nor Yan Yunzhou sent a separate letter, so it is conceivable that the battle situation ahead must have been very stale.
And the front is indeed as Luo Yueli and Ning Qi expected, Lu Liang is about to be ashamed this time, more than twice the force is pressed on the whole front, Yan Yunzhou is in charge of the Chinese army, and Li Han has been ordered to bring two thousand silver armor guards to break through to the route that Yan Yunzhou had rowed before.
Li Han's courage Lu Liang had already expected that he suffered his loss last time, and this time he also concentrated the cavalry, and the battle ahead was dark.
Lu Liangjunzhong:
"General, the silver-armored guards under Yan Yunzhou are too strong, we can't surround them."
Lu Liang's face was gloomy, but this time there was no fear in his eyes:
"Wrap up on the flanks, no matter how powerful the silver armor guard is, it is flesh and blood, can it still be invulnerable? Remember, those who dare to retreat will not be spared. ”
"Yes."
Lu Liang's hand clenched the reins, and he understood Yan Yunzhou's awesomeness, but so what? The news from Yuzhou has already arrived, and by this afternoon at the latest, the army of Yuzhou's reinforcements will be able to pass through Jinpan Mountain and go straight to Youzhou, what if Yan Yunzhou is like a god?
He didn't believe that the thousands of defenders in Youzhou could still hold the city gate, he almost saw Yan Yunzhou's appearance of not caring about each other, and the secret excitement finally made him feel a little proud in his heart, but he didn't realize that he used almost three times more than Yan Yunzhou's troops to get to where he was today.
Ning Qi was a little uneasy when he received the battle report at noon, Luo Yue left the mine in the west of the city to build weapons to watch the progress, he really couldn't sit still in the palace.
Only then did he take Zou Xiaohu to the Lu'an Temple that Luo Yueli said in the morning, it happened to be a troubled time, and people were uneasy, but the temple was a place to pray for blessings but there were more people than the teahouse that made trouble.
Ning Qi never believed in ghosts and gods in the past, but now he can understand the world's sustenance for good wishes, he climbed the stairs, Zou Xiaohu pointed to the immortal card:
"Ning Gongzi, look, these are all set up for you."
The pride in his words was as if those immortal cards were set up for him, and Ning Yi glanced at him with a smile:
"Read?"
There are not many generals in the north who have read books, and Zou Xiaohu scratched his head:
"It's literacy, and my mother let me go to the study hall for a few days in the early years."
Ning Ji looked at the Buddha statue on the top of the main hall:
"It's all here, let's go up and put incense on the pillar."
As soon as he entered, Ning Yi heard the voices of several people around him praying for blessings, and the wishes of the incense in this temple were almost the same, nothing more than to bless the men in the family to come back safely.
Ning Qi clasped his hands together, held the three pillars of fragrance in his palms, raised them above his head, and after three bows, he knelt down, and his mind was all about the person wearing silver armor, and at this moment that person should be on the battlefield, fighting bloodily:
"Buddha, if you have mercy on me and saved the lives of so many people, then bless Yan Yunzhou to come back safely."
And just as he was stepping down the stairs of the temple, a fast horse rushed towards this side.
The horse neighed and stopped in front of Ning Qi, Zou Xiaohu hurriedly blocked in front of Ning Qi, but saw that the person who came was Luo Yueli's personal guard, and the blood on his body made Ning Qi's heart sink suddenly:
"What's wrong?"
"There is an enemy attack, there are many people, Lord Luo is injured, you can go back and take a look."
Ning Qi's face changed, and he quickly returned to the palace when he grabbed the horse he was riding, and the soldiers and generals were running towards the city gate along the way, and Youzhou City, which had been silent for many days, fell into the flames of war again.
The military doctor in Luo Yueli's courtyard had already arrived, and as soon as Ning Qi entered the courtyard, he smelled an obvious smell of blood, and when he saw the person on the couch, his pupils shrank, Luo Yueli's abdomen was hit by an arrow, and the light-colored clothes he liked to wear on weekdays were already dyed red with blood at the moment.
Ning Ji didn't have time to ask what was going on, so he quickly ordered someone to boil the anesthetic and let someone take his medicine box.
Luo Yueli's hand pressed against her abdomen, the corners of her aching forehead were covered with cold sweat, and her bloodless lips were trembling, but her consciousness was very clear.
