As expected, it snowed a few days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the city, a group of soldiers wearing Ming army uniforms were wailing at the gate of the city, asking the generals guarding the gate to let them into the city.

However, it was Zhang Dake who defended the city.

He said to the generals guarding the gate: "They are not allowed to enter the city, these people are useless and unsafe to use in front of the battle, and their sudden arrival is unpredictable. Don't be unguarded, and if necessary, you can dispel it with heavy hands! ”

So, his soldiers hurriedly drank and retreated from the stragglers under the city, and when they saw that they could not retreat, some of them even took arrows.

It was at this time that Sun Yuanhua came.

"It's all for the official to put down."

Zhang Dake heard that it was Sun Yuanhua's voice, and when he turned his head, he saw Sun Yuanhua striding up to the city, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord Sun, there are some routs outside the city, claiming to have escaped and returned, and there is a conspiracy inside, and the lower officials are about to expel them." With the heart of the army! ”

Sun Yuanhua walked to the edge of the city, looked at the group of routed soldiers in tatters under the city, and his brows were locked.

Zhang Tao, another general who accompanied him on the side, had a sudden burst of thought. A few days ago, he led a team to test the rebel army, but the Liao soldiers under him collapsed at the touch of a button, and many of them took the initiative to run to the rebels, and the manpower was obviously insufficient.

This made him lose face a little in front of Sun Yuanhua, and he felt that he couldn't raise his head, and now he saw that there were soldiers returning. He thought it could be regarded as a reduction in losses, so he wanted to let them into the city. So he asked Sun Yuanhua for instructions, hoping to let them enter the city.

Zhang Dake was furious after hearing this, and said, "How can General Zhang be like this? Li Jiucheng stationed troops outside the city, and he and other rebels had no reinforcements to expect, although we were surrounded on three sides, but there was a water city as the back road. All you have to do is hold on to the city until the rebels are exhausted, and no suspicious person is allowed to enter the city. ”

"General Zhang is too worried, I can identify them one by one under the city gate before releasing them, they are all subordinates brought by the lower officials from Phi Dao. I haven't worked with Li Jiucheng and others for a long time, what are the benefits of following Li Jiucheng's rebellion, we have the righteousness of the imperial court, Zhang Zongbing should not be overly guarded, this matter is all up to Lord Sun. Zhang Tao is Sun Yuanhua's confidant, and he opened his mouth to disapprove of the proposal.

Sun Yuanhua looked at those Liao soldiers silently, and thought: Dengzhou City is nine miles in circumference, the height of the city wall has reached the same as that of the Beijing Division, the wall is two feet thick, the outside is all covered with bricks and stones, the moat outside the city is two zhang wide and one zhang deep, plus a large number of artillery at the head of the city, it is indeed a strong city, and the heart is stable.

After a while, he said: "There are still many Liao soldiers in the city, and if these soldiers outside the city are allowed to starve to death or be killed by the rebels, it may damage morale." I think that most of these Liao soldiers are still good, even if there are one or two detailed works in them, let Zhang Shen carefully screen them. ”

I have to say that Comrade Sun is not an official material, and a technical official can only be a technician.

Obviously, this time he was on the road to death again, and he was racing all the way.

Zhang Dake on the side had a constipated expression on his face, but he couldn't say anything to the number one in the city, so he had to agree depressedly.

When Sun Yuanhua was far away, Zhang Dake stared at Zhang Tao next to Sun Yuanhua for a while, he was now disgusted with this person from the bottom of his heart, scolded in a low voice, turned around and brushed his sleeves away......

Night falls, and the wind is biting.

Several soldiers stood guard on the inside of the gate, almost huddled together. Seriousness is almost 0!

Two dark shadows came out of the camp, and the guards were about to stop, when one of them called out the name of the team, and the team immediately shut up.

Immediately afterward, several dark shadows flashed from a dark shadow on both sides of the barracks, hidden in some rooms.

And the most obvious is Geng Zhongming's residence.

Geng Zhongming (1604-1649), the word Yuntai, was one of the three feudal clans in the early Qing Dynasty in the original unchanged history. Ming Wanli thirty-two years (1604) was born in Gaizhouwei, Liaodong, Chongzhen was a general in Dengzhou at the beginning, and Mao Wenlong's old department.

After Mao Wenlong's death, Geng Zhongming was transferred to the command of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong.

"Qing History Manuscript": Youde, Zhong Ming, Mao Wenlong's trilogy; Gratifying, the Dongjiang is biased; Zhixiang and the rest of the dragon trilogy. Wenlong is not dead, and everyone is not a good general? Dashou Dalinghe was defeated, and Jinzhou was reinstated, holding each other for ten years. The Ming soldiers can help, and the remnants of the territory can be defended.

Obviously, the rebellious army that hid into the city this time wanted to pull him in to make a mess and respond internally.

However, this time things will not go as smoothly as in the original history.

Geng Zhongming was a general in the middle battalion of the pacesetter, and he had always had a close relationship with Li Jiucheng and others before the accident. After Sun Yuanhua confirmed the news, it was said that he would go to the court to punish Geng Zhongming, and let Zhang Tao take care of him early, and he was not allowed to go out of the house for half a step, and the people who detained him came from Zhang Tao's camp.

So, this time, on the surface, he didn't do much.

In the middle of the night, the lanterns on the city walls resemble fireflies dancing in the dark night.

The infiltrators of the Zhu family army came along the water gate. The circumference of Shuicheng City is only three miles, and the side of Zhenyangmen is relatively narrow, and at this time, the dark and dreary night is quiet.

The waterway was frozen, but it was not long in time, and it was only a layer that was not thick.

These people had a makeshift plan, and they were going to use explosives to blow up the ice on the river as soon as the signal came. And this plan has already made a few of them send out through the secret passage during the day.

It's just that the rebels are about to launch, and the ambushes and sentry cavalry on the road will multiply. So, in case the signal doesn't come in place, they have prepared the second plan, which is to let people dive out from here again now. Sit on the hidden boat and take the waterway to inform Zhu Jiajun!

It's just that these people are not at a loss, they are the elite of the night.

The first wave of men and horses who went out of the city during the day, after accidentally colliding with the chaotic army, simply abandoned their horses and entered the forest, and were seriously injured in the counterattack, and successfully ran out of the encirclement.

Half a day later, they, the lurkers of the Zhu family's army, did not accept the lurkers at night, with a few bows and arrows on their backs, and ran to the Zhu family's army camp hundreds of miles away.

As soon as he entered the camp, he handed over the paperwork, and one after another fainted on the ground.

Zhu Zilong hurriedly asked the medical team in the army to rescue them, and he picked up the information to convene a meeting of the officers.

The team of doctors led by Xiao Qiuxiang looked at these strong night guards and said to themselves: "The injuries are so serious, they can run so far, these people are really loyal and reliable people." ”

Before waiting for the officers to come over, Zhu Zilong read the information.

At this moment, he sat in a chair with his eyes closed and pondered, without saying a word.

After the officers and men waited for Qi, the general meaning of the intelligence was explained, and everyone fell into thought.

Zhu Zilong spoke first: "Our army has one more offensive line, and immediately ordered the Navy to come over overnight. However, don't get too close to the edge of the city, after all, you can only save Dengzhou when it's early, and Dengzhou is still the same Dengzhou, at most one governor will be replaced. It doesn't mean much to us, you say? ”

A strategist on the side, who was Zhu Zilong's henchman, pondered and said: "Master Hou, but if it is too late, the rebel army has a solid city defense, the city is rich in baggage, and there is Hongyi artillery to help, it will be much more difficult to attack." The most worrying thing is that if the rebels further conquer Shuicheng, it will be difficult for our sailors to do anything. ”

Listening to the following people with different opinions, when he was young, Zhu Zilong sat up straight, his eyes kept changing.

In the end, I was ruthless, knowing that the information could not always be clear, and that the decision of the commander was needed when it was time to gamble.

shouted: "Order, let the Chinese army sentry cavalry pretend to be a merchant to go out first, clear the enemy's ambush army along the way, and set up night signs." Except for the sentinels, the rest of the army had to eat from time to time, and began to march rapidly when they were ugly. The same is true for the Navy Division! ”

Everyone knew that Zhu Zilong had made up his mind, so they stood up and saluted one after another, and promised loudly: "Yes!" ”

And at the same time!

Just when Zhu Zilong's side was ready to gamble, and there was an internal response, a plan, and a navy, a three-pronged approach.

Suddenly there was a new change in the city of Dengzhou!

In the night, Geng Zhongming, who was supposed to be trapped in the mansion, suddenly appeared near the middle camp of the pacesetters. He also has a secret passage in the mansion, and sneaked out through the secret passage, what is this going to do?
