At noon, the soldiers in the mountain col woke up one after another. Yuan Wentian's logistics had prepared soup and rice waiting for them. If there was no war, this kind of life would be comfortable. The scenery was beautiful and there were people waiting on it. Except for mosquito bites, it was almost perfect.
.
Duan Wuhu was sharpening his knife by the stream. He was eager to achieve success and felt a little regretful that he did not start fighting last night. The team had already reached the mountain pass. As long as he rushed out, it would be a surprise attack that would surely cause heavy casualties to the Qing army attacking the city outside the west gate. However, the soldiers
Sharpening their swords, the superiors never gave the order, and even waited for nearly half an hour before letting them return to the base to rest. There will be no fighting today!
Duan Wuhu was not the only one who couldn't figure it out. Several commanders in Lu Xing also wondered why such a good opportunity was missed in vain, but they had full trust in the young eunuch. Maybe it wasn't time yet.
The sky is still gloomy, and the officers and soldiers in the mountain col have nothing to do after having enough food and water to have fun. For them, starting the war one day later means they can live an extra day. Living in the present is important. For example, they are currently cleaning up mountain streams and waterways.
...I'm all wondering if I can find another golden stone!
Chang Yu slept until noon. When he woke up in a daze, he found that there were guards around him holding branches to help him drive away mosquitoes. He sighed in his heart, this must be the welfare of Admiral Dongchang.
When Kuang Ren saw the little eunuch woke up, he quickly set up a fire to barbecue game for him. Chang Yu walked out of the hay shed and stretched his body to look towards Qingzhou City, Zhengdong. Li Muchian came over and handed him the telescope: "I guess King Heng is going to be scared right now."
Get sick".
Chang Yu took it and looked at it for a while. It was still a mess outside the city. Bodies were strewn among the rubble under the city wall. The siege ladders and siege vehicles left by the Qing army were staggering and scattered around. Several groups of Qing army spies were wandering nearby.
I looked inside the city again and saw that there were crowds of people near the city wall. The guards were demolishing nearby houses and transporting stones and wood upwards. It was obvious that they were preparing for the next storm.
Looking to the northeast, I saw that the Qing army camp was peaceful. There were several patrols swimming back and forth around it. Further north, I couldn't see clearly. In addition, there was a large number of people near Fan Gongting in the northwest corner of Qingzhou City, cutting wood and making siege equipment.
"It's calm today, everyone can have a good rest." Chang Yu put down his telescope. After the Qing army learned the strength of Qingzhou's city defense after a test last night, they would no longer waste their energy and energy on teasing. They will only wait until they are fully prepared to win it in one fell swoop. The general attack
It should be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and he guessed that Li Yan would take action today.
Chang Yu is located just halfway up a hill to the west of Qingzhou City. There is Yaowang Mountain to the north, and the main peak of Mingzu Mountain blocks the view. Otherwise, you can still see the movement of Beiyang River to the north. However, when it dawned in the morning, Chen Ruxin had already
I sent people to the top of the mountain over there. If there is any movement, a message will be sent over.
The game was delicious. Chang Yu himself ate a hare and half a pheasant. After being full, he walked around in the nearby woods and asked about the situation of the soldiers in the mountain col. Chen Ruxin told him: "I'm almost going crazy catching fish."
Shrimps dug out bird's nests to catch game, and the surrounding hills were searched over and over again."
Chang Yu smiled slightly, but then sighed slightly: This may be the last time for many of them to have fun.
After chatting for a while, Chang Yu left Chen Suole and more than ten people watching here, and then he and Li Muxian Kuangren were going to take a walk in the mountain col and wash themselves.
As soon as we got down to the foot of the mountain, we saw Wu Hu from Zhengnan Mountain Road approaching with more than ten people. It turned out that they were bored in the mountain col and came to Wufanyu.
"Factory Supervisor, aren't you going to fight today?" Duan Wuhu saw Chang Yu from a distance and ran over.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "I'm so hungry and thirsty."
"No, we have to fight early or later. We brothers can't wait." Duan Wuhu looked ready to make a move. Chang Yu said with a smile: "It's not too late to have a good meal, and the surprise attack has to be delayed, so be early."
If it were any later, it could be a huge difference, and the result would be very different."
Duan Wuhu didn't understand either, so he just scratched his head and said, "Okay then, we can do it whenever the factory supervisor says."
As the group said this, they headed towards the mountain col. At this time, there was a shouting sound behind them, but a bodyguard ran down from the mountainside: "Inform the factory sir, General Li's troops have arrived. At this time, they are at the entrance of Beiyang River.
Confrontation with the Tatar army at the mountain pass!"
Chang Yu said "oh", remained silent for a while and then asked: "Is the Qing army's supply camp coming from behind?"
The guard nodded. He had crossed the Beiyang River and was slowly heading south. He estimated that he would reach the outside of Qingzhou City in the evening.
Chang Yu's face was solemn and he looked up at the sky without saying a word for a while. Li Muchian stroked his beard and said: "As the old saying goes, the rain is about to come and the wind fills the building, but at this time, the wind and waves are calm. It's terrible."
"What's the matter, the Taoist master plans to make some waves?" Chang Yu asked with a smile, but Li Muchian nodded solemnly: "It's not a bad thing to stir it up a bit."
"The Taoist Master is not afraid that we will be exposed?" Chang Yu asked again. Li Muchian hesitated for a moment and frowned slightly: "It depends on the method of the factory supervisor. Appropriate exposure can reassure the city guards and boost their morale."
Chang Yu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Well, I have nothing to do in my free time." He turned to Duan Wuhu and said, "There is Nanyang River in the west of the city. Do you dare to accompany me to take a bath?"
Duan Wuhu slapped his chest: "Why don't you dare? I will accompany the factory director even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Why should I be afraid of the Nanyang River?"
"But there are a lot of Tatars by the river," Chang Yu said with a smile. Duan Wuhu held his heart in his hands and said, "Oh, I'm so scared." Everyone burst into laughter.
Qingzhou City, Prince Heng's Mansion.
Zhu Youyi sat on the imperial chair with a worried look on his face and sighed. Next to him, Chief Shi Shen Chengde held an account book in his hand and whispered something to him.
"I don't care how much money I spend or how much money I donate, as long as I keep this Qingzhou City and keep the century-old foundation of Prince Heng's Mansion, I will go bankrupt without hesitation." Zhu Youyi interrupted Shen Chengde's words with a low roar.
"Your Majesty, don't be upset. At this time, the army and the people are united to defend the city. There are tens of thousands of reinforcements outside. The Tatars will undoubtedly go to heaven if they want to break the city. Please be patient, Your Majesty, and don't think wildly..." Shen Chengde kept comforting.
But how could Zhu Youyi listen? Although he was timid, he was not as easy to fool as a three-year-old. He had eyes and ears to see and hear. Yesterday, the Qing army caused more than a thousand casualties in the city with just one trial attack.
If it hadn't been for this guy, Qingzhou City would have been in ruins long ago.
Two years ago, thousands of Tatars came to attack. Thanks to Li Shiyuan's cleverness, he discovered that the Tatars tried to resist and defended Qingzhou City. But looking back, compared with now, they are nothing compared to the past and are not worth mentioning. Although the Qing army attacked the city
He was not in the city at that time, but it was the first time in his life that he heard the shocking murderous shouts outside, and he was really frightened to the extreme.
Shen Chengde kept talking nonstop, but Zhu Youdi was silent and suddenly said something incomprehensible: "I heard that Zhu Cunji seems to be still alive, and he seems to have been given an official title."
Shen Chengde was startled at first and then was horrified: "Your Majesty, please don't let anything happen by chance. Tatars are not the same as thieves."
