Hearing the horn of Geng Shang's coalition army Mingjin to withdraw his troops, Cheng Xiaolian was also relieved, every time he fought, as the defender, once he heard the voice of the attacking side Mingjin, it was as easy as winning a battle.

As the general of the defending side can make the attacking side return in vain, it is indeed a victory, the soldiers at the head of the city are a little unhappy, although they did not have an advantage in the battle a few days ago, and when they returned to the camp, they were also reprimanded by their own commanders: "Look at the stinky appearance of your usual training, I thought that you could all fight the heavenly soldiers and generals, and then fight such a humiliating battle, the face of our mountain and river army will all let you throw you into the Yangtze River!" ”

Since the day of the fight, the intensity of training has increased again, but the food of the Ming army has always been good, and the salary is also paid on time, so whether it is from the ** or from the spirit, they can stand it, and they are just looking forward to another big battle, which can save face, and let the commander take a good look, they are not fools who can just eat and can't do it.

Now that they have not yet reached the city, let everyone stand in vain for a day, except for the archers and artillerymen, no one else even has a chance to make a move, so they began to taunt: "Run back before dark, are you a hero?" ”

Later, the soldiers at the head of the city began to shout, but they felt that this sentence was too long, and shouting it had no effect, so they simplified it: "Don't go if you have eggs, come and fight!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city shouted hotly, and their morale was high, and the soldiers of the Geng Shang coalition army in the water were really holding back their stomachs, just like you knew that you could beat the person on the other side, he was constantly provoking you, and you couldn't beat him The feeling of nesting fire made the morale drop instantly.

Geng Jingzhong also gritted his teeth: "When we kill the city, we must kill them and leave no chickens and dogs." ”

Shang Zhixin glanced at the lieutenant general beside him: "How is the iron cable dismantled?" ”

"Back to the prince, we haven't attacked for the past few days, and they have rebuilt the iron cable, so the iron cable will take a few days."

"Bastard, every time we are bombarded here, just to cover you to dismantle the iron cables, you tell me how many more days it will take? Do you eat rice? ”

The deputy general also looked aggrieved: "Lord Wang, this iron rope was not built in a day, and the brothers can't dismantle it so quickly even if they work hard." ”

Geng Jingzhong sighed: "Don't blame them, it's not that they don't care about this matter, let's ask them to remove the iron rope one day, it's really a bit difficult for a strong man." ”

Speaking of this, Geng Jingzhong also reluctantly laughed: "We are practicing swimming, and people are naturally not idle, our opponents are not as vulnerable as we thought at the beginning, so we have to fight wits and courage with them to win, they have a good plan, and we also have to cross the wall ladder." ”

Shang Zhixin's eyes immediately widened when he heard him say this: "Do you already have a good way?" ”

Geng Jingzhong laughed: "I have checked the nearby county records these days, when Liao Yongzhong, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, attacked Qutang Pass, and set fire to the iron cable while diverting the tiger from the mountain. After the rope was burned, it was broken by a large ship. ”

If Cheng Xiaolian is here, he will definitely educate him well, the melting point of iron is more than 1,500 degrees, not to mention in the water, even if you put it on the shore and burn it, you won't be able to boil it for a while and a half.

However, in ancient times, there was basically no pure iron, all of which contained impurities, Ming Yuzhen was called the emperor in Sichuan and Shu, and the national strength was weak, so it was naturally impossible to take out too much fine iron to build iron cables, so after the iron cable array was burned, it was possible to be broken by a big ship.

Although Cheng Xiaolian's iron cables are not pure iron, it is not easy to burn them in the water to a state where they can be destroyed by a collision.

Geng Jingzhong thought that he had found the secret weapon to crack Qutang Pass, but he suffered the loss of not learning chemistry, of course, this could not turn him, they were also iron cables, how did he know what the difference was between these iron cables.

So after the Geng Shang coalition army returned, they began to prepare fire oil, and on the other side, the Ming army began to replenish the artillery shells on the rock wall, filling the firewood burning on the rock wall with some firewood.

Who knew that it was raining heavily that night, Geng Jingzhong immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity, when it rained, the firewood on the rock wall could not be illuminated, and they could better disassemble the iron cable, so they immediately gathered the soldiers of the three armies and launched an attack.

When the heavy rain first fell, the firewood on the rock wall was extinguished, and the guards at the head of the city immediately realized that something was wrong, and the heavy rain was pouring, not only the firewood on the rock wall could not be illuminated, but even the artillery on the rock wall must have been damp, so he immediately reported to Qin Yue.

At this time, Yang Youcai also found Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, the rain is pouring, the light is all lost, the artillery is useless, I am afraid that the carrier pigeons on the opposite side will not be able to fly, if the enemy sneaks up today, we will suffer a big loss." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded hurriedly: "You're right, let's go to Lord Qin immediately to discuss this matter." ”

Who knew that he hadn't gone out yet, Qin Yue had already stepped into the house: "Your Highness, something happened." ”

"I was about to look for you, it was raining heavily today, it was a good time to attack, I guess Geng Jingzhong Monk Zhixin would definitely not let go of this opportunity."

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Your Highness is very knowledgeable, I am here for this matter." ”

"But now it's raining heavily, and our eyes are dark, and we can't let our soldiers go to guard the iron cable."

"Your Highness, I can't care about so much now, even if these soldiers suffer from the cold, we will be responsible for healing, if they break the iron cable, it will not be a few casualties, and you don't want the kindness of a woman at this time."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It's that what I think is too simple, just do as you say, but we have to arrange three groups of people and change people every hour, so that the brothers under our command can also stand up." ”

There was a rapid drum beat in the barracks, and the soldiers of the whole army immediately prepared to go to the city wall except for the camp gate, the rain was so loud that it was basically impossible to hear what Qin Yue, who was at the front, was saying.

At this time, the quality of the soldiers is very tested, if the soldiers are all rabble, in this case, they cannot hear the general's orders, and they are likely to collapse at the first touch.

However, they could not see the enemy for the time being, because dozens of soldiers had already entered the water.

Cheng Xiaolian looked at Qin Yue and said worriedly: "If they don't attack tonight, I'm afraid we people won't have the spirit to fight again tomorrow." ”

Qin Yue also smiled bitterly, and said loudly in the face of the heavy rain: "If they really attack, it will be too late for us to gather people and horses, we can only gamble for today's plan, Geng Jingzhong has not made an inch of progress these days, I believe he will not let go of this golden opportunity." ”
