In the past month, after the Mongolian coalition army invaded the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that it had been overwhelming all the way, but because all the places were fortified and clear, and the city was defended with all its might, the Mongolian coalition army did not have much actual gain, and the only record was that it only defeated thousands of Ming troops on the south bank of Weishui, and took the opportunity to capture the Zhenning Acropolis and several surrounding military forts.

Therefore, the Mongol coalition army seems to be aggressive, but in fact, after they penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, they were just rootless, and only the Zhenning Acropolis captured a few days ago could be used as a fulcrum and retreat.

This is obviously the biggest flaw of the Mongol coalition!

In fact, this Zhenningwei was originally deliberately given to the Mongolian coalition army by Zhao Junchen, and Guan Wuyuan appointed the young and frivolous and meritorious Han Zhang to be in charge of the defense of Zhenningwei, which was originally instructed by Zhao Junchen, and Wang Ying, a hundred households of Zhenningwei, defected to the Mongolian coalition army and won the trust of the Mongolian coalition army, which was also part of Zhao Junchen's plan!

For Zhao Junchen, Zhenningwei is an outcast, so as to establish a greater strategic advantage!

First of all, deliberately sending Zhenningwei into the hands of the Mongol coalition army was not only to let the Mongol coalition army know the marrow, prevent the Mongol coalition army from withdrawing from the territory of the Ming Dynasty in advance, let them rest assured that they would boldly attack Jiezhou City, and delay time for Zhao Junchen's plan;

Secondly, if the Mongolian coalition army did not have the fulcrum and retreat of Zhenningwei, their future actions would be unpredictable, but now that they have the Zhenning Acropolis, once the Mongolian coalition army encounters an accident, they must first think of retreating to Zhenningwei to stabilize their foothold, so that Zhao Junchen can guess their whereabouts in advance;

In the end, after the Mongol coalition army captured the Zhenning Acropolis, they would definitely temporarily store the grain, grass, ordnance, etc. of the army in the Zhenning Acropolis to reduce the burden of the march, so once Zhao Junchen took the Zhenning Acropolis back in his hands, the Mongol coalition army would inevitably be in turmoil and have no follow-up power!

Therefore, the Zhenning Acropolis was deliberately created by Zhao Junchen for the Mongolian coalition army!

Now, the big war is imminent, and Zhao Junchen plans to take Zhen Ningwei back into his hands!

In fact, before this, due to Wang Ying's internal response, Zhao Junchen had already arranged a foreshadowing in Zhenningwei, but for the Mongolian coalition army, this foreshadowing was a time bomb!

*

So far, the Acropolis of Zhenning has fallen for six or seven days, but it is still a mess, after the Mongol coalition army occupied Zhenning City, naturally there is no business idea, just random scourge, the soldiers and civilians in the city are regarded as slaves and livestock, not only heavy labor, hungry, but also from time to time will be tortured and scolded by the Mongols, suffering a lot.

If Zhao Junchen hadn't found a reason in advance to summon all the women and children in the Zhenning Acropolis into Jiezhou City, I don't know how many human tragedies would happen in the Zhenning Acropolis!

In a way, the soldiers and civilians of Zhenningwei are all Zhao Junchen's outcasts, but they may never realize this!

However, although the interior of the Zhenning Acropolis was a mess, the garrison was very tight, because the Mongolian coalition army also realized that the Zhenning Acropolis was their only fulcrum and retreat route in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the grain, grass and ordnance of the Mongolian coalition army were also stored here, so they naturally did not dare to ignore it.

Since the capture of the Zhenning Acropolis, Bagan has stationed more than 3,000 Junggar elites here, and sent his henchman Badar to garrison here, and at the same time all the Han men in the city were used as slaves to accompany the army!

In this way, in addition to the elite warriors of Dzungaria, only the Han people are left in the interior of the Zhenning Acropolis, and coupled with the defense of the city walls of the Zhenning Acropolis itself, it is naturally foolproof.

However, two days ago, because of Wang Ying's suggestion, Bagen sent more than 300 Han prisoners back to the Zhenning Acropolis again, according to Wang Ying, these more than 300 people are craftsmen and can make a large number of siege equipment for Bagen in Zhenningwei's workshop, so they also got Bagen's permission.

And these more than 300 Han army prisoners are the foreshadowing laid by Zhao Junchen in advance!

On this day, the afternoon is a moment of devotion.

In the workshop of the Zhenning Acropolis, under the supervision of the Mongols, Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng were carrying a long piece of wood.

Both of them were low-level military attachés from Jinyiwei, first followed Guan Wuyuan to Shaanxi and Gansu to support, and then because of the whimsical desire of the leading general Han Zhang to sneak attack the Mongolian coalition army, they suffered a crushing defeat on the south bank of Weishui, and the two of them became prisoners of the Mongolian coalition army!

It stands to reason that from the military attache of Jinyiwei to a prisoner with an uncertain future, Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng should be in a panic all day long, even if they are not dead-hearted, but Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng's expressions at this time did not show any discouragement, but faintly with a hint of hope and nervousness.

The timber carried by the two of them is more than a foot long and weighs nearly 200 catties, which will be used as the throwing arm of the catapult, and it is naturally extremely difficult for the two to carry it.

Halfway through the move, both of them couldn't hold on, so they put down the wood and rested for the time being.

However, as soon as the two of them put down the wood, they heard someone shouting in an arrogant and domineering voice: "Liu Quan, Huo Sicheng!" Who let you two rest?! Don't hurry up and continue to move the wood! The Mongolian lords want you to build twenty siege engines in three days, and so far you have not done half of them, and you two dare to be so lazy, aren't you afraid that the Mongolian lords will whip you? ”

This voice is authentic Chinese, and the person who speaks is also Han, but it is Ma Hui, the Han supervisor of this workshop and Wang Ying's confidant!

Of course, this is just Ma Hui's identity on the surface, in fact, Ma Hui is also from Jinyiwei! And he is still a brocade guard!

Of course, Ma Hui is also one of the executors of Zhao Junchen's plan! His arrogant and loyal appearance to the Mongols at this time was all just a disguise!

Therefore, after hearing Ma Hui's reprimand, Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng both looked angry on the surface, but their eyes were extremely calm.

When Ma Hui reprimanded the two, he had already taken the opportunity to come to the two, and after looking at the surrounding situation with his eyes, he saw that there were no Mongols watching nearby, so he lowered his voice and asked the two, "How is the situation?" Is the plan still going well? ”

Liu Quan also replied in a low voice: "After these days of secret agitation, coupled with the rumors that the Mongol Tatars want to kill all the Han captives, the more than 300 brothers in the workshop already have the idea of fighting to the death, as long as there is a suitable opportunity and someone takes the initiative to take the lead, I believe they will all act with us!" ”

Then, Huo Sicheng said: "In addition, the weapons and fire oil buried in the underground of the workshop in advance are all ready, and they can be used at any time!" In addition, the thirteen catapults that have been built so far have also been secretly adjusted by us to adjust the angle and distance, and they can project fire oil at the city wall, granary, and stable at any time! ”

After Ma Hui listened to Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng's report, his expression was both nervous and excited, his voice and body trembled a little, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It is the so-called seeking wealth in danger!" As long as we can succeed this time, it is naturally a matter of countless military achievements, coupled with the promise of Lord Qincha, we will definitely soar in the future! If you win or lose, you have a fight here! If we are defeated, Lord Qincha will also come forward to take care of our wives and children! ”

Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng also nodded slightly, their expressions were also a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Then, Ma Hui took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions a little, and said slowly: "According to Lord Qincha's plan, if nothing happens, there will be a large army attacking the Zhenning Acropolis soon!" When the time comes, we must create enough chaos in the city to create an opportunity for the army outside the city to recapture the Acropolis of Zhenning in the shortest possible time! There is no room for error! The two of you go and review all the links again, and all the arrangements must be foolproof! ”

After Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng agreed, Ma Hui scolded the two of them loudly, and then left with a swagger.

As for Liu Quan and Huo Sicheng, after glancing at each other, they continued to carry the wood towards the workshop.

At the same time, under the leadership of He Zhang, the vanguard of the new army of soldiers had appeared twenty miles east of Zhenningwei!

PS: Some readers blame the bugs for resuming the update without explaining anything...... Bugs really don't know how to explain it! The reason is still the same old thing, the family is sick! …… But why does your family keep getting sick? Why haven't I seen other authors' family members suffer so much? …… I remember the last time the bug explained this, I encountered a lot of doubts, so I really don't want to explain it this time, after all, all kinds of things at home are already upset, and after encountering doubts, I will become more and more irritable, I wanted to quietly resume the update, and I didn't explain anything, but I didn't expect some readers to question the sincerity of the bug...... Therefore, the insects will explain the reason here, everyone can believe it if they want to believe it, and if they don't want to believe it, they will think that the insects are making it up.

Recently, it has been very unsmooth, the family was sick again during the New Year, and there were many things, when the mother said to the insect, "You don't dare to be sick, otherwise there will be no one at home", in fact, the insect's knee was knocked out, bruised, but I didn't dare to say anything, just ran around so hard, until two weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to the hospital for examination, when the knee was swollen and not looked good, all were effusion, and the meniscus was also damaged.

Life is always tiring to deal with, and the insects are also very envious of those authors who have a safe creative environment, but it is a pity that they did not cherish the opportunity at the beginning, and they also suffered by themselves.
