Chapter 898: A Quiet Afternoon
In the woods halfway up the mountain a few miles west of Qingzhou City, Chang Yu was hot like a second ha, sticking out his tongue and sweating profusely, he only knew that the end of the Ming Dynasty was in the Xiaoice River period, and the winter was so cold that he froze to death, but he didn't expect that the summer was so hot, although there was shade in this mountain forest, it was still hot without wind.
It's so hot that Chang Yu took off his clothes, leaned on a rock with his bare arms, and a bucket of mountain spring water was placed next to him, the scorching heat went away a little, Li Muxian almost took off his essence like a model, and his figure was still good-looking Chang Yu was slightly surprised: "Fang Dao Chang, why do you have a twenty-year-old body and muscles but a fifty-year-old face?" ”
Poof, Li Muxian almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood: "What the factory father said, does the poor road look so old?" As he spoke, he looked at the guards who were still in the middle of the situation.
Everyone nodded vigorously: "Sixty have."
Li Muxian rolled his eyes: "How can it be that Poor Dao looks like he is in his early thirties at most, but it is not a secret that Poor Dao is only twenty and eight ...... this year" Before the words were finished, everyone was disgusted.
"I guess the Taoist chief is deliberately like this, so it looks like a crane with a childish face and a fairy style to fool the common people," Chen Suole grinned beside him, and several of them were influenced by Chang Yu and were not interested in Li Muxian's various pretenses.
Chang Yu stroked his palm: "Reasonable, reasonable...... If he doesn't have a hair on his mouth and doesn't do things firmly, he will be as young as Chunfeng, who will believe that his magic power is boundless."
Everyone laughed, Li Muxian was slightly embarrassed, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Qingzhou City to divert the topic: "Look at the many Tartars outside the West Gate, will they be staring at us."
Sure enough, everyone's attention and attention were drawn over, and there were dozens of Qing soldiers hanging around on both sides of the Yang River in the southwest of the city, some enjoying the shade of the trees on the riverside, and some wandering around outside the mountain pass, obviously to keep an eye on the horse thieves in the mountain.
But these Qing troops only walked outside the mountain pass and did not dare to enter the mountain, after all, from time to time on the hill there were a few horse thieves who appeared to show their faces or raise their cheeks or scolded a few provocative words, which also made the Qing army clear about the horse thieves' warning to them: demarcate the land as a boundary, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Although the Qing soldiers were not afraid of these horse thieves and felt that they were very hateful and wanted to serve them in a pot, but there was really no way to see them in general, first of all, the siege of the city was important, and it was better to have more than one thing, and secondly, the horse thieves were entrenched in the mountains, and it was not easy to suppress them, so why bother to contribute to the Ming court.
So just keep an eye on it, as long as it doesn't go out of the mountain to make trouble, everyone can still be friends.
"Factory father, why don't we do another vote!" Chen Suole was about to move, the last time he was sleeping on duty, Chang Yu went out of the mountain to plot that the Qing army spies didn't take him, and he always felt that there was one less wonderful thing in life.
Chang Yu shook his head and denied, although the Tartars came prepared, although dozens of people could really calm Yuan Wentian's hundred and ten people, but if the identity of the guards was easily exposed, there was no need to risk dozens of Tartars at this juncture.
"This may be the last tranquility before the Tartars attack the city," Li Muxian looked up at the scorching sun between the branches and leaves, and his color was slightly dignified.
Chang Yu nodded slightly and hummed softly: "It's a quiet summer, and the sky is full of stars...... Hey, it's not quite appropriate."
Li Muxian and the others were stunned: "The factory can actually sing, sing beautifully, who made this song with a catchy melody?" ”
Forehead...... Chang Yu scratched his head: "Who is the composer, but our family has forgotten, but we know that the original singer is Liang Jingru?" ”
Everyone was confused, they didn't know who Liang Jingru was, and even thought that it was a certain Qinglou Oiran or a famous actor in a certain opera troupe.
It doesn't matter if you don't know it, Chang Yu quipped: "The song is good, come and come to our house to sing her courage ...... to the big guys" said and let go of his voice and sang, this can shock everyone around him.
Halfway up the mountain, the "mountain song" was loud, listening to a kind of personal guard stunned and fascinated, the three thousand Ming army trees in the mountain col under the shade of the mountain stream to take refuge in the summer, Qingzhou Chengshang Township Yong stared at the Qing army camp outside the city in a thoughtful daze, Zhu Youdi in the Hengwang Mansion stared at a few green leaves in the teacup motionless as if he had lost his soul.
In the camp of the Qing army in the north of the city, Dolgon stood under the tree outside the tent and looked at Qingzhou City under the scorching sun, stroked the sweat on his forehead, and cursed in a low voice, this damn day is much hotter than outside the gate.
In the village under Mingzu Mountain, Li Yan drank a bowl of cold water, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji helped him change the medicine and check the injury, and joked: "If General Li can catch another Tartar under Qingzhou City, it is best to capture Dolgon, then this injury is worth it."
Li Yan laughed heartily: "Thanks to the two auspicious words, Dolgon's house will stay in the two, and he will not dream in the future, as for the Duoduo, he can catch them and let the three brothers get together in the capital."
The crowd burst into laughter.
The various units of the two armies were ready to move but very restrained to enjoy this short and quiet summer afternoon. They all know very well in their hearts that they will never be able to calm down after this day.
Happy times are always very short, in the woods halfway up the mountainside, Chen Suole and other guards are gambling on silver, not far away under an old locust tree, Chang Yu and Li Muxian set up a chess game, several battles have won and lost each other, and the sky is getting late, when the hearts of the people who see the sunset are flying, there are scouts who are in a hurry to report, and the Tartars have begun to besiege the city!
Chang Yu was slightly startled and asked the guards to quickly go to the col to order the soldiers to gather and prepare for battle, and then groaned a little and took more than ten guards from the woods along the slope of the mountain to the northwest to lurk, he wanted to reconnoiter nearby.
Zhou Yuji's expectations were still a little off, although the speed of the soldiers was meaningless to the Qing army, but they didn't dare to grind and chirp so as not to have many dreams at night, after all, the Ming army still had tens of thousands of infantry who didn't know where to go, or ambushed around or on the way to come, but no matter which one it was, it might be unfavorable to themselves, so when they were well prepared, they had to fight quickly.
After finding out the details inside and outside the city, the Qing army rested for half a day, at this time all kinds of equipment were almost ready, Dolgon ordered the siege of the city to prepare for the attack, 10,000 soldiers and horses opened the Beiyang River to block the Ming army reinforcements, 3,000 guarded the camp, and the rest went to Qingzhou four gates and drove thousands of cannon fodder.
The first to be found was the defenders of the northern city, Jia Waixiong frowned, the fuck finally came, so Ming Jin warned, the city was suddenly in chaos, the people were panicked, and the townsmen rushed to the city, even Song Luoyu, who was recuperating in the palace, ignored Zhu Yan's persuasion and ran towards the city: "I am the general of the East City, and I should be with the city gate!" ”
"Hate is not a man's body," Zhu Yan looked at Song Luoyu's back and whispered leisurely.
