~~~~~~

Different from the tranquility of the Ming army's camp, at this time, in the official hall of Zhenjiang City, dozens of princes of the Eight Banners of Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Du Du gathered here and were arguing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the bonfire in the middle brazier, there are already two fat sheep roasted and cooked, the meat is shiny, the fat is dripping down, dripping on the charcoal fire, making a 'zizi' sound, the aroma of meat and charcoal fire grease mixed in has begun to rise in the room, it is simply making people drool.

But at this time, no one had the heart to eat this fat roast leg of lamb.

Amin shouted irritably: "He said it lightly, exterminate Li Yuanqing!" What can you do to kill Li Yuanqing? Why didn't he come himself? Deal with Mao Wenlong's gang of dog offal, I am also sure! ”

Mang Gurtai hurriedly said: "Second brother, you don't have to say a word." Aren't you deliberating? ”

"Counseling? Discuss what? Old Five, tomorrow, are you going to take the lead? Amin was like a leopard, staring straight into Mang Gultai's eyes.

"You~~~."

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but be angry, he was also kind, reminding Amin to stop complaining, who would have thought that Amin was like a mad dog, catching and biting whom.

"Humph!" Mang Gultai simply ignored Amin, didn't overdo it, and stopped looking at him.

Amin was even more irritable, looked at Dai Shan and said, "Second brother, don't you think the most on weekdays?" At this point, what do you have to do? Won't you be scared by Li Yuanqing, right? ”

Dai Shan just rushed over this evening, and his main force of the Red Flag has not yet arrived, but he has already received the news that the old slave is very concerned about the battle in Zhenjiang, and he is already on the way, so he naturally can't be left behind.

Dai Shan glanced at Amin and then glanced at everyone, and everyone also looked at him.

How could Dai Shan be more serious with Amin?

After a moment, he calmed down and said slowly: "Presumably you have all received the news, Khan Ama is already on the way to Zhenjiang. We're still arguing here, but what's the point? ”

Amin couldn't help but be stunned, it was the first time he had heard the news.

Although Amin was unruly and his eyes were above the top, he would never dare to make a mistake for the uncle of the Great Khan who raised him, and said busily: "Second, second brother, the Great Khan is coming?" ”

Seeing that Amin was suppressed, Dai Shan smiled slightly, "Not bad." Yue Tuo's main force with red flags will rush over with the Great Khan. This time, the two yellow flags will also be exhausted. So, let's not make any more pointless quarrels here. This time, since Li Yuanqing has been sent to the door, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future! ”

The old slave came over, and Amin also had a backbone, and said busily: "Second brother, what you said is right. But Li Yuanqing is cunning and cunning, and his firearms are extremely sharp. Du Du had already suffered a loss a few days ago, and at this time, their camp had been erected, and we still had no good way but to attack hard! ”

Du Du hurriedly said: "Two second uncles, that's exactly the case." Li Yuanqing's immortal camp is not only sharp in firearms, but also cunning and weird, if we want to do it, we must do a good job. ”

Dai Shan smiled faintly and looked at Mang Gurtai, "Old Five, what do you think?" ”

Mang Gurtai also eased up a little at this time, and it was the first time he heard that the old slave was coming, and he muttered for a while: "Second brother, you have a hard time, what you say you do, I will do it." ”

Dai Shan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "This matter, I think it's difficult to say, but in practice, it's not as difficult as we think!" Li Yuanqing's house, the tossing time is long enough, this time, we must kill his vitality! ”

…………

The next morning, the snow continued to fall.

As expected, the whole world was white, and the ground beneath his feet was frozen.

Although he was a little tired yesterday, he slept comfortably, Li Yuanqing regained his endless vitality, and in the morning, he had a 'morning exercise' with Nian'er, and gave her rain and dew as a reward for last night, and the little girl has not gotten up yet.

Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong also got up early in the morning and hurried to the central fort to join Li Yuanqing.

At this time, although everyone's faces pretended to be relaxed, but after the Jin soldiers pressed the realm, who would dare to slack off for half a point?

"Yuanqing, looking at the way it looks today, the Tartars seem to be going to make a big move!" Zhang Pan stared at the camp tent of the Houjin army not far away, his expression solemn.

At this time, although the heavy snow has not stopped, the sky is already bright, and the visibility is not low.

In the field of vision, it can already be clearly seen that the Houjin army camp is reorganizing the army, there are about three or four Niu Lu and more than 1,000 people, who have already assembled in the open space outside the camp, and more people are pouring out one after another.

Chen Zhong's face was also very solemn.

Li Yuanqing has already made it clear that he will hand over the initiative to him in this battle.

In the past, although Chen Zhong fought side by side with Li Yuanqing every time, to a large extent, Li Yuanqing was the main one.

At this time, he suddenly changed to be in charge, and he also felt endless pressure on his body.

Even if there is a beautiful concubine in the tent, after understanding Li Yuanqing's mind from yesterday, he directly settled this beautiful concubine in the auxiliary tent and no longer set foot in half a step.

Of course, Chen Zhong understood what Li Yuanqing meant, this was a great merit given to him by his brother, although the Changsheng Battalion was not the main force, but it would provide the strongest fire support, once they could not hold on, the Changsheng Battalion, as a reserve, would fill the position in the shortest possible time to ensure the safety of the camp.

"Yuanqing, in my opinion, the Tartar should still be the same. If they don't bulldoze and fill in the ditches, they will never attack rashly. Chen Zhong said calmly.

Li Yuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "The two eldest brothers, this period before the war was the most difficult. When it really starts, that's all it takes. We're well prepared, so we don't have to worry too much. We just have to be ourselves. The Tartars want to bulldoze the earth, it's not easy to be freezing this day, how can we make it so easy for them? ”

Chen Zhong immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, and couldn't help laughing: "Damn." Lao Tzu, what's wrong? It's not that I haven't seen the girls, but it's like being a groom official for the first time? ”

Although Chen Zhong's words were vulgar, his expression was suddenly a lot more relaxed.

Zhang Pan couldn't help nodding secretly.

It is no wonder that Chen Zhong followed Li Yuanqing and was able to win consecutive battles.

At this time, everyone was very nervous, but Li Yuanqing dissolved the tense atmosphere with a few simple words, and brought Chen Zhong's spirit and spirit.

Zhang Pan thought that he had no such ability as Li Yuanqing, and he cherished this opportunity even more, and said busily: "Yuanqing, Lao Chen, what should we do?" Do you want to send someone right now to break up the ice in the moat in front of you and release the water? ”

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and shook his head, "Brother Zhang, there is no rush in advance. It looks cold today, but the ice surface of the moat is not strong enough, it should not be able to bear people, they will fill it up sooner or later, let's not waste the strength of our children. ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing smiled, "The dog Tartars should have to wait a while before they launch an offensive, so we don't have to keep ink with them, let's go eat first." It was suddenly cold on this day, and the children's bodies must be protected. ”

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but nod.

"Yuanqing, that's it. Eat first and let the children warm up. Chen Zhong said busily.

Li Yuanqing smiled and took the lead to step off the high platform.

…………

The breakfast was very rich, and the soldiers each had two taels of meat, three taels of fish, enough broth, and enough food.

Of course, these burdens were brought over by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, although Mao Wenlong asked Zhang Pan to supplement some grain and grass for the two departments, but they were mainly based on millet and corn, not to mention meat, even meat stars, don't even think about it.

After breakfast, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan went directly to the command center of the central fort, while Li Yuanqing went to the river bank to inspect.

After many battles with the Houjin, Li Yuanqing already knew the character of the Houjin army very well.

They will never rush until there is not enough support.

At this time, although they have the advantage of being on their home turf, the weather suddenly cools down, and they also need a process of adaptation.

In these two or three days, fierce fighting should not break out directly, and the Houjin army must focus on advancing, paving the way first, and preparing for the subsequent attack.

On the contrary, on the riverside, because the weather is cold, Li Yuanqing is very worried that the riverbank will be directly frozen, which will affect the fleet.

On this side of the river, it is Li Sansheng's defense range.

Although this kid is young, he is better than having a flexible mind, the key is that he is very calm, and he will never be easily impulsive, put him here, Li Yuanqing can rest assured.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Li Sansheng hurriedly greeted him, "General." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "How is the situation on the riverbank?" Is there any icing? ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing strode forward.

Li Sansheng and Niu Gensheng hurriedly followed Li Yuanqing's side.

"General, the shore is frozen, but it's not thick. It is estimated that there should be no major problems today and tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, once the snow stops, I am afraid that the freezing situation will be aggravated. Li Sansheng hurriedly reported to Li Yuanqing.

There is a saying among the common people, "Snow does not turn cold when it falls".

At this time, the temperature plummeted, and the instinctive feeling of human body consciousness was cold compared to before.

But in fact, this kind of cold is only relative, mainly because people have been in a warm climate, and suddenly facing the cold requires a process of adaptation.

And once you get used to it, even if it's much colder than it is now, you won't feel so cold if you get used to it.

For example, at this time, although the temperature has been below freezing, there is still a certain amount of heat storage in the heaven and earth itself, and the river water flows very fast, except for the narrow area on the riverside, the river water will not freeze immediately.

While talking, the group had already arrived at the riverside.

As Li Yuanqing expected, ice slag had formed on the land on the edge of the river, about five or six centimeters, but the river was still wide and turbulent, and it did not have a real impact on the nearby boats.

Li Yuanqing looked at Li Sansheng and said, "In this regard, we can only prepare more." There is still a lot of timber in stock, and there are plenty of men, so in the evening, try to build more braziers on the shore. It is better to spend more manpower than to ensure the safety of the fleet. ”

"Yes!" Li Sansheng hurriedly kowtowed and said yes.

Li Yuanqing patted Li Sansheng on the shoulder, pulled him up, and looked at the wide river.

Although building a brazier is a stupid method and consumes a lot of resources, it is the best way to do it in this state.

Survive the past few days, wait for the children to really adapt to the intensity of the cold, and then drive the fleet into the river, wait for the ice on the river surface to really solidify, and then use the solidified ice to build new fortifications to ensure the safety of the fleet.

After taking a turn on the riverside to make sure everything was on track, Li Yuanqing was ready to leave.

At this time, two cavalry cavalry rushed over from the west direction, hurriedly turned over and dismounted and respectfully reported to Li Yuanqingyu: "General, the Houjin army has begun to push over." ”
