this day.

It's just nightfall.

He Xuan walked out of the horse circle, and was greeted by Su Ding and Li Jie, two thousand households.

Su Ding grabbed He Xuan's shoulder with one hand: "Brother, go, go, follow me to a place." ”

"Where are you going?" He Xuan was a little confused.

"You'll find out when you go. ”

"Anyway, it's definitely a good place, the two of us, can we still hurt you?" Li Jie Qianhu said with a smile next to him.

Su Ding and Li Jie pulled He Xuan and walked towards the city, and arrived at a corner in the southeast, where it was cleaner and there were not so many people. Not far away, there is a three-story small building, on which are written the words Ruyifang, and the laughter of Wen Xiang Jieyu came from inside the small building.

"This?" He Xuan couldn't help but be stunned: "This, it seems to be a Qinglou." ”

"That's right, it's Qinglou. Brother He, life is short, you don't have to carry all the pressure on your body, what anger you have in your heart, just vent it to the girl, you don't need to vent it to the horse. Why brother, your appearance and name must be a romantic character in the Qinglou, and the girl will post it upside down. Li Jie Li Qianhu said.

"You can rest assured, this Ruyi Fang is the most upscale Qinglou in the entire Songshan City, and the girls in it are quite expensive, so the average sergeant can't afford to consume them, and these girls are quite clean. And there are a lot of means one by one, which is guaranteed to make you comfortable. Su Ding Su Qianhu patted his chest: "This is me, the righteous brother, the best Qinglou I chose, and I am looking for the most expensive girl in it." ”

The corners of He Xuan's mouth couldn't help twitching, and after a long time, they thought that they were fighting horses, they were psychopaths, and the psychological pressure was too great, so they brought themselves to find a girl. I'm simply for the sake of negative emotions. But he couldn't say this, so he could only smile helplessly: "I'm really not interested in Qinglou." ”

"I've come here, so I'm going to see it. Su Ding hurriedly persuaded.

"That's right. The girl in it is really stunning, I drooled when I looked at it, I originally wanted to do it, but Brother Su insisted on leaving it to Brother He. Li Jie Qianhu also joined in the persuasion.

At this moment, I saw a fire in the northeast direction, which instantly ignited the sky over there.

"That's not a good direction. Su Ding said with a somewhat ugly face.

"It's not good. Li Jie Qianhu also forgot to pull He Xuan to the Qinglou at this moment, and said with a somewhat ugly face.

"What's going on, what's going on in that direction?" He Xuan asked.

"There was a Beacon Hill in that place, next to the wall to the east. The environment inside our Matsuyama Castle is a little cramped, so most of the grain is stored in Beacon Mountain. Of course, 20,000 soldiers and horses were also used to guard it. Inspector Hong's henchmen will guard Hong Tianming. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Matsuyama can come to support at any time, so we can rest assured that we'll be there. However, looking at this appearance, there was a fire on Beacon Hill, and I am afraid that the Tartars took the opportunity to sneak attack and burn our grain in Beacon Hill. Su Ding said with an ugly face.

When He Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion.

When the two armies were at a stalemate, what they were most afraid of was that there was no food.

Whichever side is robbed of grain is basically bound to lose.

For example, the Battle of Guandu, which fought for the hegemony of the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms era. Yuan Shao had a large number of troops, attacked Cao Cao, and had the upper hand at first. But at that time, Cao Cao made a plan and sent people to Wuchao to burn the grain of the Yuan army, after which the Yuan army was scattered, and was finally defeated by Cao Cao.

"It's hard, it's hard. Originally, our army couldn't defeat the Qing army, but with He Shenjun, he destroyed the opponent's artillery, and he could barely fight. But if the grain and grass are burned, it is really over. Li Jie Qianhu also shook his head.

Su Ding suddenly thought: "Brother, aren't you a god general? You can shoot the enemy six hundred steps away, can you suddenly attract a rain and directly extinguish the fire." ”

The corners of He Xuan's mouth twitched: "You treat me as an immortal, I just have a bigger strength than normal people, and my speed is faster than normal people." ”

If it was usual, Su Ding would definitely make fun of one or two. But seeing that the grain and grass were burned alive like this, he didn't have the heart to ridicule.

"Do you want to put out the fire?" He Xuan asked.

"It is estimated that someone will be sent to rescue, but the Qing army is also outside the city, they will take the opportunity to harass, and then look at the fire is big, tonight's wind is as big as an evil door, the wind borrows the fire, it is estimated that it will not be able to save the fire." Su Ding shook his head.

......

Two hours later.

Matsuyama Castle Supreme Military Council unfolds.

The meeting was presided over by Inspector Hong Chengchou Hong.

Present at the meeting were Wang Pu, chief soldier of Datong, Yang Guozhu, chief soldier of Xuanfu, Tang Tong, chief soldier of Miyun, Bai Guangen, chief soldier of Jizhen, Cao Bianjiao, chief soldier of the Association of East Asian Compatriots, Ma Ke, chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wang Tingchen, chief soldier of Qiantun Guard, Wu Sangui, chief soldier of Ningyuan, and some other middle and high-ranking officers.

When He Xuan broke in, the meeting hadn't started yet, but everyone's faces weren't very good-looking.

Hong Chengchou saw that everyone was together, and coughed lightly: "There was news just now, Li Yan, the deputy general of Hong Tianming who guards Beacon Mountain, is a traitor, and this person broke Hong Tianming, took the lead in setting fire, and burned the grain in Beacon Mountain. And today is a windy day, the momentum of the fire is extremely fast, there is no time to save, our military rations, is finished. ”

"What should I do then?" When Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, spoke, his face was a little pale, and his legs and stomach trembled a little. Although there are some nepotistic factors in the general soldiers of other people, most of them have fought an unknown number of battles and climbed up. But there is only Wang Pu, he is too rich in the family, and his father is also a big official, so he sat in this position at a young age, he has not fought many battles at all, and he is still a playboy type.

In comparison, the other seven commanders were much more solemn, and they had already thought of several possibilities.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "If the army has no food, it can't work. Now our army's food is only the one that has been stored in the city, which is only enough for seven days at most. And the matter of burning grain, the fire burned the air, and if you want to hide it, you can't hide it, and the soldiers below also know about it. Until now, we have no other way but one way, fight to the death!"

"Defend or die, die without fighting, tonight, everyone go back and do a mobilization work for the officers and subordinates under your command. ”

"Tomorrow, we will go out of Songshan City and fight to the death with the Qing army. ”

"That's the only way to live. ”

"If you are lucky enough to defeat the Qing army temporarily, you can return to Ningyuan, there is grain and grass in Ningyuan. ”

"That's what I'm proposing, what do you think?"

"No problem. Now I can only fight hard. Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, nodded and said, he is an old soldier and agrees with this opinion.

"I agree. Miyun General Tang Tong pondered for a moment or two, and said slowly: "This is indeed the only way now. ”

The other commanders nodded in agreement.

"I ...... I also agree. Datong General Wang Pu said with a few trembling voices.

Hong Chengchou looked at He Xuan: "He Shenjiang, what about you?"

"I'm here to kill the Tartars, and I'll go to bed when I go back today. Tomorrow I have the energy to kill the Tartars. He Xuan responded calmly.

Tomorrow, it will be a showdown that brings together more than 200,000 soldiers of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

By himself, in the end, it is estimated that he can kill a thousand people, and in such a big showdown, he can't do much by himself.

Then tomorrow, I can only try my best to see if I can hunt down some high-ranking officials of the Qing army.

Anyway, now that I have the resurrection fruit in my hand, I am not afraid of anything, and I can try my best to fight.
