After seeing off Song Xiance, Chang Yu returned to the back hall of the Yamen to question the Jin Yiwei who delivered the message. He learned that Li Yan sent Liu Zeqing's five tiger generals to fight tens of thousands of people for more than an hour without breaking the city, and there were hundreds of large and small artillery pieces.
Suppression, this made him a little surprised. Gao Yigong defended the city so firmly, and Zhang Guozhu made him a little surprised. The real rise of this guy in history was after following Wu Sangui. During this period, he was still unknown.
He is a small lieutenant, but his first victory in the imperial court and then his first victory in Dali is a sign that he will be awesome in the future.
Some things are indeed very evil, just like there are so many people in this world, but most of them are very mediocre ordinary people, and there are only a few rare characters, and these people have some unique shining points, such as
Their momentum, aura, eyes and luck.
Then Chang Yu asked the Hejin side again and learned that they were still under siege, but as long as Dali moved, the siege there would be lifted, or the same would happen if Tongguan was captured. The latest news Jin Yiwei told him was that the Tongguan side was still gathering.
The war hasn’t started yet!
Perhaps the weather was about to change as soon as he woke up. Chang Yu dismissed the Jin Yiwei who was delivering the message and started working in the Yamen. He listened to various intelligence reports and made some judgments and instructions. Unknowingly, he felt sleepy and fell asleep on his chair.
, after all, the drunkenness has not passed yet.
When I woke up again, it was almost noon. Fanzi came to report that the emperor had left Zheng Zhilong in the palace for dinner, and asked Chang Yu to come and accompany him if he was free.
The emperor's banquet is a very high reward and favor for his ministers. This is extremely rare, so it is regarded as a great honor by his ministers.
Of course Chang Yu chose to waste time. He had done all the tying up and hammering, so he didn't bother to eat that awkward meal. Moreover, from the fact that the emperor left Zheng Zhilong to eat, he knew that the two of them talked very harmoniously, so he could have a quiet drink.
Have a cup of tea to wake up at the bar.
The eunuch in Beijing was drinking tea to sober up while doing official duties. Thousands of miles away in Dali City, Tian Jianxiu was using cold water to wake up. After staying up all night, his eyes were completely red, which was very scary.
"Damn Li Gou!" Gao Yigong next to him cursed in a low voice. Last night they predicted that the officers and soldiers would launch an attack in the early morning when the soldiers were most sleepy, so they had been bracing themselves for the attack.
Who would have thought... I waited all night in vain!
Except for the hundreds of knights outside the city who were shouting and disturbing from time to time, the main force of the officers and soldiers did not make any movement. But the more this happened, the more uneasy they felt, and the more they thought about whether the other party was going to launch a surprise attack or something...
Until daybreak, there was still no movement from the main force of officers and soldiers. The poor soldiers guarding the city were almost nervous. They were too sleepy, too tired, and their mentality was about to collapse!
"Will the capital side..." Gao Yigong had a sudden thought, and Li Yan suddenly started to guess that it was to cooperate with the negotiations on the capital side, but then suddenly stopped, has it been reached...
Tian Jianxiu shook his head: "You go to sleep for a while, and I will take over when you wake up."
I mean, you are confused right now!
This guy is really confused. He thinks things are too simple or too complicated. This is actually the mental tactics of the officers and soldiers, which makes you endure in fear. Another reason is that the first wave of attacks consumes the soldiers.
A lot of energy needs to be fully repaired, and ammunition and other military supplies must also be replenished, because the second attack must be more fierce than the first to be able to break the city, so all preparations need to be more complete, otherwise the first
After the first wave of attacks failed, the second wave of attacks was rushed, and the results were predictable!
So after the first wave of attacks, Ma Huabao and others discussed when to attack the second wave. Some said it would be at night, some said early in the morning, and the final decision was to sleep well and not fight at night or early in the morning.
Eat and drink enough to sleep well!
As a result, at dawn, the bandits in the city were exhausted, sleepy and tired, while the officers and soldiers outside the city had recovered and were all active and vigorous. At this time, Ma Huabao sent an order to sharpen his sword!
grass!
The people in the city managed to stay up until dawn in fear. Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief and think about taking a nap, they suddenly saw the officers and soldiers outside the city moving. Thousands of them slowly approached and then began to encircle and launch an siege posture!
This made the rebels in the city feel itchy with hatred and fearful in their hearts from top to bottom. Can we stop them in this state?
Morale suddenly plummeted!
When it was almost noon, Zhang Guozhu had just woken up from his sleep in the village by the Beiluo River. It was not that he stayed in bed, but in fact he had woken up countless times throughout the night and could not sleep well. On the one hand, he wanted to guard against thief troops infiltrating into the city. On the other hand, he
I was also worried that I would be attacked by a sneak attack. I was actually very tired from waking up and sleeping like this, and it wasn’t until dawn that I finally fell asleep and felt at ease.
Before I could wash my face, my subordinates hurried in and said, "Sir, the fight is starting over in Dali."
Oh, Lao Ma is so calm. Zhang Guozhu had actually been waiting for some movement last night, but there was nothing going on in Dali City all night, so he waited until now to take action, "Hey, why can't you hear any movement? Could it be that our cannon
Out of ammunition?"
This place is only about ten miles away from Dali. If there is any gunfire, you can faintly hear it.
"Come back to my lord, we are besieging the city and haven't started yet."
Zhang Guozhu said "oh" and ordered his spies to be careful and run away, so as not to lose the chain at the critical moment!
Today is another fine day, with a gentle breeze and a bright sun. It is neither cold nor hot, suitable for doing anything.
Including fighting!
But in Tian Jianxiu's eyes, this bright sunny day was an obscure one. As far as he could see, the crowds of heads outside the city guard were worse than yesterday. Can he withstand it today? He suddenly felt that he was worried in his heart.
No bottom!
Turning around and looking northwest, I saw a vast wilderness.
I hope Liu Fangliang comes in time!
All the actions of the officers and soldiers today reflected four words: take your time.
Get up early in the morning and light a fire to make food. After eating and drinking and taking a short rest, you will drag the guys to the siege of the city. Then they will bask in the sun outside the moat while preparing for the attack. This is true for the siege troops and the artillery troops.
In the tense and depressing atmosphere in the city, the officers and soldiers seemed too calm and composed.
At three o'clock in the morning, the officers and soldiers completed the encirclement. They were sharpening their knives outside the city. Just waiting for an order, they would launch a crazy attack, and they would also attack the east and west cities for the second time!
Tian Jianxiu, who was on the top of the city, looked extremely tired, but he shouted with all his strength: "Today is a matter of life and death. If the city is broken and Li is ruthless, we will have no chance of survival. If we want to survive, we must work together to achieve what we did yesterday."
Defeat it, sons, the way to survive is in our own hands... I still have foreign aid, as long as we hold on today, reinforcements will come to save us..."
Regardless of whether it was chicken blood or ginger soup, Tian Jianxiu drank it all at once for the thieves guarding the city, and these thieves had no way out at this time. Whether it was feces, urine or dog blood, they drank it all. Everyone was thinking
Understand that this is a life-or-death moment. Only by uniting as one can we have a chance to find a way out!
