When the news of the Tartars' withdrawal reached Dengzhou City, the whole city was boiling, and after being frightened for nearly half a month, he could finally let go of his hanging heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe officials who were originally dissatisfied with the arbitrary Xia Nan were now convinced, and in their opinion, it was Xia Nan's trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, to transfer thousands of pounds in four or two, to win without a fight, and to let the vicious Tartars retreat obediently without spending a single soldier.

This credit fell on Xia Nan, and Lin Weiye, who resisted the attack of nearly 20,000 Houjin troops in the fortress, was selectively ignored.

That night, the officials and wealthy people in Dengzhou City celebrated with their crowns, and many deep mansions and courtyards heard the sound of silk and bamboo music and staggering. Xie Sanbin refused the invitation of his subordinates, gave up going to the banquet, fought at night in the study, and wrote the recital sent to the capital.

In the twists and turns, he used the Spring and Autumn brushwork to skillfully cover up Dengzhou's passive avoidance of the Tatars who were close at hand, attributed Lin Weiye's behavior against the Tatars to his own strategy, and then placed the credit for the retreat of the Tartars on the south of the summer. If you only look at the twists and turns, then you will come to the conclusion that under the command of the governor Xie Sanbin, the soldiers and civilians of Dengzhou bravely resisted the attack of the Tartars and tried to protect the city of Denglai. Xia Nan, the general soldier of Qionghai Town, took the initiative to come to the aid and proposed a plan to clear the wilderness, so that the Tartars had no choice but to retreat.

Xie Sanbin didn't want to rob Lin Weiye of the credit, because he knew that Lin Weiye was behind Xia Nan, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the Dengzhou General Army were all arranged by Xia Nan from recruitment to training, from the appointment of officers to daily management, and the credit was shared equally by Weng and his son-in-law, which was also logical.

Xia Nan was not idle, after learning the news of the Tartars' retreat, he rushed to the military camp outside the city with the guard battalion as soon as possible, and in the evening, rushed to the bottom of the fortress.

After all, it has been besieged by tens of thousands of troops for more than ten days, and the city is still in a state of vigilance, plus the sun has gone down, the light is not good, the defenders can't see who is coming, and they raise their rifles and shout: "What person? Don't get close, or we'll shoot! ”

Yang Youji scolded: "Keep your eyes open and see clearly, the general is coming, don't open the city gate quickly!" ”

The recruits of the independent regiment don't know Xia Nan, but the officers are all veterans who have followed the army and experienced the battle of Qiuyu Mountain, so they naturally know Xia Nan, he is the boss of the regiment commander Su Thick Leg and the general soldier Lin Weiye, and after a closer look, it is really the big boss who is coming. So the officer in charge of the defense of the city gate ordered the city gate to be opened while sending people to inform Lin Weiye and others.

When Lin Weiye heard that Xia Nan was coming in person, he was very excited and hurriedly greeted him. He grabbed Xia Nan's hand and asked, "I really didn't expect you to come...... Are you here to see me or to save me? ”

Xia Nan's eyes widened: "Naturally, I'm here to save you." I thought you were surrounded by tartars and were about to braid, so I came as soon as possible, thinking to myself, I want to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

"you." Lin Weiye said with a smile, and stretched out his fist to hammer Xia Nan. Although he is not good at words, he knows what it is to rush from Lingao to Shandong in such a short time. Xia Nan just returned from Shandong, and he was a newlywed Yan'er, and when he heard that he was in danger, he left his newlywed wife behind, regardless of the tiredness of running back and forth, he could feel this friendship.

He was very touched in his heart and whispered, "Thank you, brother." ”

Xia Nan smiled: "Don't be so hypocritical between brothers, the flesh is very numb." How's it going, come here, take me to see your masterpiece, this fortress seems to be much more powerful than the temporary building of Hirosuke back then? By the way, tell me about your heroic deeds against the Tartars. ”

When it came to the fortress, Lin Weiye immediately switched to the technical otaku mode, took Xia Nan to visit, and served as a temporary commentator.

"The bastion is modeled after the design of Vauban and has a star-shaped cross-section, low walls and sloped design, rammed earth on the inside, and bamboo cement on the outside......"

Xia Nan couldn't help but interrupt him: "I understand the star shape, crossfire." But what the hell is Vauban ? What does it mean to have a low wall with an inclined design? It seems that this wall is shorter than Bosuke's temporary fortress, so isn't it afraid that the enemy will attack the city? ”

Lin explained: "Vauban is the marshal and military engineer of France in this century, but he should only be two years old in this time and space. He was a genius who had never commanded a large-scale battle in his life, but he became a marshal, and it was in his hands that the fortress developed to its peak. This low, sloping wall design, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a thick bottom, was mainly designed to withstand artillery bombardment, and was more difficult to break down than a traditional city wall. In the battle of Bofu that year, we were bombarded by the Hongyi cannons of the officers and soldiers, so we learned a lesson when we built this barracks, and specially built this kind of inclined wall in the style of Vauban - but I didn't expect that the Tartars didn't know whether they came in a hurry or didn't bring a cannon at all, not a single heavy artillery, and they all relied on manpower to attack the city. ”

"Hehe......" Xia Nan smiled proudly, thinking: When he participated in the counterinsurgency last year, he insisted on setting up an ambush at sea and intercepted the Hongyi cannons and craftsmen that Kong Youde was going to take out to sea, and it seems that he has achieved results. Although this trick may not have completely eliminated Huang Taiji's possession of cannons, without the ready-made cannons and skilled craftsmen in Dengzhou, Houjin would not have been able to master the systematic cannon casting technology, and could only capture them from the battlefield, or imitate them in a shoddy way - just like the Ming Dynasty's naval guns in the West - the performance and durability would be greatly reduced. Since cannons are a rare thing for Houjin, a marginal figure like Abatai is naturally not qualified to have it.

When he came to a row of bungalows, Lin Weiye said: "These bungalows can be used as temporary dormitories or warehouses. The row on the right is filled with grain - I have obtained from your father-in-law enough food for 5,000 people to eat for a month, and I can only cope calmly when I am besieged by the Tartars. ”

Xia Nan smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that the Tartars happened to appear, and they didn't die to besiege them, your move would be superfluous in the eyes of many people." I don't know if you should be called a lucky general, or a blind cat crashing into a dead mouse. ”

Lin Weiye disagreed, in his opinion, it was necessary to reserve food, even if the military camp was in the city, he would ask for a certain amount of food to be reserved. Without explaining the problem, he continued: "The row of houses on the left is now used as a temporary confinement room, and dozens of soldiers are housed in it. ”

Xia Nan's expression became serious, even Lin Weiye, who had to be locked up in confinement, must have made a big mistake. He asked in a deep voice, "What have these people done?" ”
