I can't sleep for a while. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info kneeling and begging for subscriptions, red tickets, and boats, thank you.

The fire burned for more than an hour before it gradually stopped.

The sea breeze swept by, and everywhere was filled with an indescribable smell of burning, mixed with an inexplicable stench, which made people dizzy and indescribably disgusting.

Everywhere you look, it's dark everywhere, and in many places, you can vaguely see the silhouette of a black shadow in the shape of a human, but unfortunately, it's no longer the same.

Perhaps affected by the fire, the microclimate was changed, and the clouds in the sky gradually converged, and the originally bright sky gradually dimmed.

Li Yuanqing stood on the lookout at the height of the city gate building, quietly overlooking the remaining battlefield not far away.

A breeze swept by, Li Yuanqing frowned slightly, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

Today's fire, burning is happy, but it has consumed a lot of inventory, just now, the statistics have come out, the gold clay pot and the fire oil bomb, nearly half of the consumption, others such as oil, arrows, etc., also consumed a lot.

Fortunately, the Houjin army did not attack the city in a frenzied manner, and in terms of gunpowder, it has not come in handy for the time being, and there are still a lot of stocks.

This also gave Li Yuanqing a lot of confidence.

War requires not only the bravery of the soldiers, but also the logistics, grain and grass.

To tell the truth, after years of campaigning, the battle has reached such a point, even Li Yuanqing is a little tired, not to mention the officers and soldiers below.

But Li Yuanqing also knew that the initiative in this matter was not in his hands, and if he wanted to change, he could only beat these dogs to pieces, and if they were afraid, they would not dare to act recklessly.

In the city, most of the soldiers rested in the corners, and countless auxiliaries and civilians were coming and going, constantly carrying all kinds of supplies.

Even if the battle was won, the Tartars had not retreated, and the soldiers did not dare to slack off, even if they rested, they had to keep one eye open and be ready to deal with the next wave of the Tartars' offensive at any time.

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, fortunately, in the past few days, the Ming army in the city has not suffered too many casualties, the supplies are quite abundant, all affairs are on the track, and his side still maintains enough initiative.

"Yuanqing, it's going to rain." Chen Zhong didn't know when he came behind Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, opened his palm and stretched it into the air, and sure enough, there was already a trickling rain in the sky, falling in the palm of his hand, cool and cool, and soon dissipated.

"Huh. It's raining. Wash this heaven and earth, and save people to see disgusting people. Li Yuanqing smiled, and his big hand gently stroked the carved wooden handrail in front of him.

Chen Zhong sighed and patted Li Yuanqing's shoulder hard, "Yuanqing, it's hard work." You don't have to think too much about it. God won't blame you. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but laugh, but he also admired Chen Zhong's carefulness, this big brother didn't make friends in vain.

"Big brother, don't worry. I'm fine. These tartars, in my eyes, are no different from pigs and dogs. How can I be distracted by these dog chords? ”

Chen Zhong saw that Li Yuanqing's expression was not different, so he relieved his heart and said with a smile: "It's a pity, these heads." But it's all merit. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "There's no way." Being able to defend the city is our greatest achievement. ”

Chen Zhong nodded, and looked at the sky with some concern: "Yuanqing, look at this rain, will it rain?" Like last time? ”

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Chen Zhong was frightened by the storm, and he was a little nervous when he saw the rain.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "This should be fine." The storm season has passed. Let's go, big brother, I still have that wine, let's go have a few drinks. ”

Chen Zhong also smiled, "Call Lao Zhang." ”

The two of them smiled when they saw each other, and the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed.

The dwellings on this side of the north wall have basically been demolished, and Li Yuanqing and the three of them have no place to rest in the past few days, so the camp tent is built behind the city gate.

Now, it is raining, and it is impossible for the Houjin army to attack the city, and the three of them finally have time to really rest for a while.

Zhang Pan was directing the soldiers to cover the catapults and slingshots with cowhides, through today's fire, Zhang Pan really understood why Li Yuanqing spent so much effort, on these things, now, these things, but they are all his treasures.

"Lao Zhang, let's go, go have a drink." Chen Zhong greeted Zhang Pan.

"You two wait for me, I'll pack these treasures first." Zhang Pan didn't have time to greet the two, so he hurriedly beckoned his own soldiers to cover these treasures to prevent them from getting wet in the rain.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong glanced at each other, and a relaxed smile appeared on their faces.

The two waited for a long time, and when Zhang Pan finished cleaning up, the three of them returned to the camp together.

The two jars of old wine, which were originally used as weapons, were also taken out by Li Yuanqing, and he personally poured bowls for Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong, and finally his own bowl.

"Come, two brothers, do this bowl." Li Yuanqing picked up the wine bowl, signaled to the two, and drank it all.

Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong also drank all the wine in the bowl, and Zhang Pan laughed, "Yuan Qing, Lao Chen, happy, happy." Hahaha. It's been a long time since I've had such a good time. ”

In this day and age, there is almost no entertainment.

The literati are better, such as Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, Chen Zhong and other martial artists, and there is very little entertainment.

In addition to wine, the greatest entertainment is probably only in the evening......

With such a high-intensity life, no one is a saint, and Li Yuanqing also needs to use alcohol to stimulate his somewhat tired nerves.

"Wine is a good thing." Li Yuanqing burped comfortably, "But we can't drink more, let's have two bowls per person." The old slave suffered such a big loss today, and he will definitely not give up. ”

Zhang Pan's face was a little red, "Yuanqing, I'm afraid of him." As long as they dare to come, we will dare to go back. This is Lushun, not Shenyang, not Liaoyang, not Xipingbao. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Not bad." Come, let's go one more, brothers. However, I can't drink them all, so I can only taste them in small bites. ”

Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, arrogant.

…………

Soon the rain began to fall heavily, and 'crackling' fell from the sky, dispelling the dirt of the world, and the air suddenly became fresh.

After a short drink, Li Yuanqing's mental state of the three of them has improved a lot, but it is far from the time when they can rest assured.

Zhang Pan went to check the logistics, while Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong came to the city to continue to inspect the defense.

When it rained, the soldiers at the head of the city were miserable, there was not much shelter from the rain, the soldiers could only cover their bodies with improvised tarpaulins, and three or five people gathered together to talk about today's war.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong came over, and they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted this one's shoulder, pounded that one's chest, and warmly encouraged the army to encourage him.

The same is true for Chen Zhong, the originally quiet city has suddenly become a lot more lively.

Although it was summer at this time, it was already the end of summer, and Lushun was in the north, and this heavy rain fell, and the temperature dropped a lot, and there was already a faint chill.

Li Yuanqing was also thinking about it, the soldiers' equipment was too simple.

In this kind of weather, let alone a raincoat, even if it is a coat or cloak, it is extremely luxurious.

This is still in the city, with the backing of the mainland.

Of course, Lushun is only newly established, and if it is in the orthodox imperial court official and military sequence, the situation should be much better.

However, for the imperial court, Li Yuanqing never had much hope.

Not to mention supplies, as long as the bigwigs don't come to add to the chaos, then thank God and burn high incense.

At this time, someone from the soldier next to him shouted: "Look~~, someone is coming over there." ”

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to the battlement to check, not far away, there were seven or eight people, dressed in robes, who were running quickly towards the city, and the two soldiers in front of them were holding two small white flags high.

Someone shouted loudly in Chinese: "Don't fire arrows, don't fire guns." We are the messengers of Daikin. I want to meet with the three generals Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan. ”

The figures were getting closer and closer, and soon, they were 50 paces away.

The battlefield had not yet been cleared, and the ground was in a mess, and Li Yuanqing could clearly see that a short and stout officer at the head looked around with disgust and horror.

But the Ming army at the head of the city did not respond, and they did not dare to come forward again, standing still in place, letting the heavy rain wash over their bodies.

"Emissary?" Chen Zhong's brows couldn't help frowning, "Yuanqing, what do these dog days mean?" ”

Li Yuanqing's eyes also narrowed slightly, he had already imagined several means of revenge after the old slave was angry, but he never thought that the old slave would actually send a messenger......

Is this an olive branch?

Chen Zhong's face was already gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, do you want to shoot them?" These shitty days, there's not a good thing. ”

Li Yuanqing shook his head slowly, "The two countries are at war, and they don't come to make it." Kill them, and we'll be left behind. Let them come over first, and see what the old slave means. ”

Chen Zhong nodded and waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, "Let them come." ”

"Yes."

His headquarters was guarded by the city gate, and soon his own soldiers shouted to the city: "Even if you are a messenger, then come to the city first." ”

After the city was under the city, the golden envoy was amnesty, and hurriedly ran towards the city.

Li Yuanqing suddenly said: "Big brother, do you look at the generals in the middle, are they a little familiar?" ”

"Familiar?"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the general Li Yuanqing said, but unfortunately, at this time, he had already run under the city gate.

"Your army, please open the city gate and let us in." The stout general shouted to the Ming army at the city gate.

Chen Zhong saw his face clearly at this time, and couldn't help but pat his head, "That's right." Acquaintances indeed. Isn't this the guerrilla surnamed Sun in Quang Ninh? At the beginning, it was he who supplemented us with personal soldiers. ”

Li Yuanqing also saw Sun Degong's face clearly, and he didn't expect that when he said goodbye that day and met again, it would be in this kind of scene.

It's interesting.

However, in this situation, it is raining and visibility is very low, how can the soldiers easily open the city gates?

Soldiers shouted from the top of the city: "The gates will not be opened." We'll put down the basket. Only one of you can come up. ”

"What?" Sun Degong couldn't help but be furious.

Originally, he was already full of anger when he was assigned this drudgery that might have to lose his head, but the small Ming soldiers on the head of this city dared to pinch him......

How can he, who used to be the head snake of Quang Ninh, accept it?

"We are the messengers of Dajin, we have something important, we want to meet the three generals Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, and Chen Zhong, and ask your army to open the city gate and let us in." Sun Degong suppressed the anger in his heart and reiterated it again to the Ming soldiers at the head of the city.
