The incineration of the garbage continued until noon the next day, when it was nearing its end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the river outside the west gate of Haizhou City was already pitch black and smelly.

If the Houjin army wants to get water from this river again, without a month or two of recovery and precipitation, they will never think about it.

However, just after the afternoon, the dust and smoke began to roll in the distance, the earth seemed to tremble, and countless banners quickly gathered in this direction, and the black and oppressive cavalry line could not see the end at a glance.

The main force of Houjin has finally arrived.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong got the news as soon as possible, and hurriedly came to the city to check the movements of the Houjin army.

In fact, they didn't go far, just had lunch under the city gates.

"Holy shit, it's finally here!"

At the head of the city, looking at the Houjin battle array in the distance, where there was no end in sight, Chen Zhong spat fiercely, his fists clenched tightly, and 'creaked'.

Li Yuanqing also narrowed his eyes and quietly looked at the dense battle formation of the Houjin army.

Today, it's May 15th, and it can be said that most of our feet have already stepped into summer.

At this time, it was the afternoon again, and the scorching sun hung in the sky, like a giant fireball, scorching the ground.

Even if you stand in the shade and don't do anything, the sweat will be like beads, and you can't stop surging out instinctively.

Not to mention, like ants, the Houjin army standing stupidly in the sun.

At this time, although the food and grass materials in the city were not sufficient, Li Yuanqing was not in too much of a hurry.

Fighting in the summer is a lot more difficult to control than fighting in the winter.

In terms of these variables, up to now, Li Yuanqing has been very well prepared, and on the old slave's side, even if he borrows hundreds of heads, how can he have Li Yuanqing's knowledge and coping methods?

Not to mention anything else, just in this hot weather, if these wrapped Houjin warriors like zongzi suffer from heat stroke, it will be enough for the old slave to drink a pot.

At this time, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also got the news and hurried over.

"Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, how is the situation? How many troops did the Tartars have? Wei Liang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Zhang Qiliang also watched from the sidelines.

For these two prison lords, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can be said to be almost meticulous.

Not only did they choose the best house for them to live in near the official hall, but also the highest standard of eating, drinking, and Lazar at this time, except that there were no women, they were all in need.

Chen Zhong said: "I roughly counted, I'm afraid there must be at least seventy or eighty Niu Lu, and there may be some who haven't rushed over later." In this battle, I'm afraid they will have at least a hundred oxen. Look over there, that's the old slave's big book. ”

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang hurriedly focused their eyes on the direction of Chen Zhong's finger, and soon, they discovered that in the middle of the Houjin Battle Array, a huge bright yellow Daxu was waving in the wind.

"Tartar is not small. I don't know how these dogs are playing in Mongolia? Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, do you two have any ways to deal with it? ”

Zhang Qiliang said, looking at Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but sneer: "Means? What is the means? It's no wonder that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it! As long as the dog tartars dare to come up, Lao Tzu will definitely let them understand! ”

In the past, although Li Yuanqing had never regarded Chen Zhong as a subordinate and had always regarded Chen Zhong as a big brother, Chen Zhong was one level shorter than Li Yuanqing in terms of military rank, and in all aspects, even if he didn't say it, Li Yuanqing could feel that he was a little depressed.

But at this time, Chen Zhong had been promoted to the chief military officer of Guangludao, even though he was still half a level lower than Li Yuanqing in terms of rank, but he had the confidence to speak, and he could finally stand on an equal footing with Li Yuanqing as before.

However, Chen Zhong is also clearer and clearer, whether it is his vision or means, he is far from being able to compare with his brother, so although he will also put forward his opinions on many major matters, he still has to wait for Li Yuanqing to make a decision.

The two still maintain the most trusted intimacy.

At this time, listening to what Chen Zhong said so simply, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang were a little calm.

But Li Yuanqing knew that Chen Zhong couldn't wait anymore, and he couldn't wait for the Tartars to attack now.

Seeing Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang's eyes looking at him, Li Yuanqing smiled faintly: "The two prison lords don't have to worry too much. According to this situation, the Tartars must have a few more days to set up camp and prepare, and according to humble estimates, it will be difficult for them to attack the city without ten days and eight days. We have more time to plan for it. ”

Hearing Li Yuanqing's words, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang suddenly felt more at ease, but Zhang Qiliang said carefully: "Li Shuai, but our current grain and grass reserves in the city are not enough." If, if it drags on like this, this ......"

Wei Liang also looked at Li Yuanqing nervously.

If it is about defense, even if the Houjin army is pressing, the old slave is also here, but over the years, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang have already had enough confidence in Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, especially Li Yuanqing, as long as Li Yuanqing is here, they seem to have a Dinghai Shenshen needle in their hearts.

But at this time, the shortage of materials is the biggest concern in their hearts.

Once the ammunition is exhausted, even if it is Li Yuanqing, 'how can a good woman cook without rice'?

Chen Zhong was also worried about this, and hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, what Gonggong Zhang said is right. We won't be able to drag on for too long in this battle. If we can't solve it quickly, it will be difficult for us to get out of it. ”

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, nodded and said, "I have been thinking about this matter as well. But this kind of thing, it is absolutely unwise to attack rashly. We have to take advantage of the opportunity. Either you don't fight, if you want to fight~~~, you have to kill with one blow! The old slave should have brought back a lot of livestock from Mongolia on this trip, and we still have time. ”

…………

At this time, in the battle array of the Houjin army on the opposite side, the old slave was also accompanied by hundreds of Houjin magnates, and he was looking forward to exploring the situation in Haizhou City from a mile and a half away.

The old slave wore a black silk robe today, wore a golden helmet, rode on a black sweaty and bloody horse, and quietly watched the movement of Haizhou City.

After all, he is about to turn seventy.

Although his spirit is still very good, as in the past, he has always been full of strong fighting spirit, but the money rat braid on the back of his head has turned white, even if he is dressed luxuriously and his momentum is still pressing, but the fatigue of the long-distance run cannot be covered up on his old face at all.

Coupled with the scorching sun, his face was indescribably pale, as if he would turn his back at any time.

If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were still open, I'm afraid, no one would have been able to see that he was still alive.

"Khan Amma, it's too hot this day, let's come back to investigate the situation later." On the side, Dai Shan persuaded with some distress.

Dai Shan was still in the prime of life at this time, but he was already sweating profusely, not to mention, it was the old slave's old bones.

"Khan Ama, Haizhou City can't run, let's wait for the evening, the sun will fall, and then come and investigate." Mang Gurtai also said.

The weather was so hot that he was going crazy, and he couldn't help but want to kill.

The magnates around him were also looking at the old slave, waiting for the decision of this 'old' tiger.

For several days in a row, they ran thousands of miles, and they were already tired enough, but they didn't want to be dried under the sun.

The old slave glanced at everyone, but slowly shook his head, "Don't worry, look at it for a while." ”

Although his old eyes are a little cloudy, but the power is still here, these post-gold magnates, either his sons, grandsons, nephews, or his sons-in-law and brothers-in-law, who dares to refute his majesty?

Even if they are about to be roasted into 'hot dogs', these Houjin magnates can only endure their temperament, and the dogs stick out their tongues and wait for the old slave to observe the situation.

It's just that although the old slave maintains enough composure on his face and maintains his dignity as a king, he is already violent and restless in his heart.

He never dreamed that in the past, a seemingly inconspicuous small character had grown into a big trouble for Dajin's henchmen at this time, and even had already killed Haizhou City, and then threatened his Shenyang and Liaoyang.

The most important thing is that at this time, he actually has not the slightest way to deal with it.

With the experience of several previous battles, the old slave deeply understood that Li Yuanqing was defending the city, and he basically had no chance to capture it, and would only waste the lives of his warriors helplessly.

It's simply ......

But this is already the case, Li Yuanqing is already powerful, and he can only accept the somewhat tragic reality in front of him.

This trip to Mongolia, with the great help of the Horqin Department, he also gained a little, and captured a lot of horses, cattle and sheep of the Mongols, and there were seven or eight thousand slaves.

It's a pity that several big tribes attached to Lin Dan Khan ran faster than rabbits, he had already gotten the exact news of several tribes, and was preparing to drive straight in, who knows, Li Yuanqing actually killed Haizhou City, and Mao Wenlong was haunting Laozhai again......

In a trance, the old slave seemed to remember the scene when he relied on his thirteen pairs of armor to start his business.

How high-spirited he was then......

After a long time, the old slave suddenly let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said, "Let's camp on the spot." Come and recruit Hong Qiang. ”

…………

The Later Jin army soon followed the city of Haizhou in a fan-shape, extending the camp to the north and east.

However, because the river was polluted by garbage and pitch black, they had to draw water from the small river far to the north and the upper reaches of the big river to the east.

From the afternoon until it was almost dark, Houjin's camp had some appearance, but it was not defensive at all.

Chen Zhong scratched his ears and cheeks when he looked at the city, he couldn't wait to go out and rush now.

But he also knew that the Ming army had no cavalry, and the daylily would be cold when they rushed over.

On the side, Li Yuanqing was not in any hurry, standing by the battlement with a smile, quietly looking at the layout of the Houjin army.

At this time, the layout of the Houjin army seems to be chaotic, but in fact, its head and end are connected, and the front and back can be taken care of, unless the Ming army can have tens of thousands of cavalry, it can directly break up their formation, so that they can not take care of the end of the tail, otherwise, according to the absolute mobility of the Houjin army, the Ming army does not have much chance of winning at all, and it is easy for them to 'wrap dumplings'.

"Yuanqing, I'm convinced of you. Ay. Even if I am promoted to the general soldier, but brother, I am a qi cultivation kung fu......" Chen Zhong looked at Li Yuanqing a little speechlessly, and shook his head dejectedly.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, this is not to raise qi. How so? What we can't do now, just think about it. Do you still have to have dreams? But the most important thing is to be down-to-earth, start and think according to the current situation. Since we can't break through the Houjin army and camp at this time, why don't we learn from their advantages? ”

Chen Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "That's the same truth." Although these dog tartars should be cut by a thousand cuts, their camping still has a lot to offer. ”

The two of them were talking about this here, and at this time, there was a report from the front soldiers: "Two generals, there are Tartars coming ahead." They held white flags as if they were lobbyists. ”

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong hurriedly gathered their eyes to the front, and sure enough, three fast horses were hurrying to the city.

The leading man shook the white flag in his hand desperately, and shouted: "Don't release arrows, don't shoot guns, I am Li Yuanqing's old man, and I have something important to meet Li Yuanqing!" ”
