Chapter 607: The Back Road Is Intercepted!
~~~~~~
Lord Yuan is here, who dares to slack off?
Man Gui hurriedly led Li Yuanqing and his party to greet Lord Yuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Inferior rank, I have seen the Lord ...... the Inspector"
The wind is too strong, Lord Yuan is not wearing a black gauze hat today, and on top of the red official robe, there is a thick deerskin hat.
This may seem like a bit of a nondescript, but in the here and now, it's the most appropriate line of action.
Li Yuanqing also added a little bit of understanding of Lord Yuan in his heart, although this guy is a little stereotyped, but it is not that there is no room for flexibility!
Seeing the group saluting respectfully, especially Li Yuanqing, who was also very respectful, Lord Yuan's little face hidden in the deerskin hat showed a slight smile, "Get up!" ”
"Master Xie."
The crowd saluted again, and then they stood up.
Lord Yuan also walked quickly to the hanging house that sheltered the wind, unbuttoned some hats, and said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Li Junmen, how do you think of the defense of my Ningyuan City?" ”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "My lord is really far-sighted. Ningyuan City's defenses were almost airtight. Coupled with the bad weather at this time, even if the old slave comes in person, I'm afraid, he can only eat the ashes behind closed doors! ”
"Hahaha......"
Lord Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Li Junmen, you are a general, don't say good things, let's talk about the shortcomings." The official still trusts your vision very much. You can point out the shortcomings of the officer, and the officer can correct them in time. ”
At this time, Li Yuanqing had actually figured out Lord Yuan's temperament.
Back then, after he passed the imperial examination, he had no way to go to Beijing, so he 'self-recommended' and volunteered to come to Liaodi.
Over the years, Lord Yuan has suffered a lot.
Finally, he looked forward to today, ushered in the opportunity to be the master of his own house, how could he listen to the 'advice against the ear'?
In addition, in history, Inspector Yuan did successfully defend against the offensive of the main force of Houjin led by the old slave, even if the reasons for this are very complicated, but it is undeniable that in Ningyuan City, he is the real king.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to Lord Yuan's words, I think that in terms of defense, all aspects are basically correct. The only thing to worry about is the weather. It is best to add more charcoal fire near the city wall, especially the station of the sons, and it is best to prepare more hot water to help the soldiers keep warm and keep out the cold, and ensure that the soldiers can be more effectively engaged in the battle when the Tartar comes! ”
"Oh?"
Lord Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, but after a moment, he stretched out, and couldn't help laughing: "Li Junmen is worthy of being the general of the Ming Dynasty!" As the saying goes, see the small things! In terms of details, this official is really not as detailed as Li Junmen thought! This matter is according to what Li Junmen said! Someone! The official ordered to immediately add charcoal to the defenders everywhere in the city, and then ordered the firefighters and civilians to boil more hot water to keep the soldiers warm and cold! ”
"Yes!"
There were his own soldiers who hurried down to do their work.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled respectfully: "Lord Yuan is wise. ”
Inspector Yuan laughed, glanced at Li Yuanqing, thought for a while, and then said: "Li Junmen, at the beginning of the afternoon, this official will hold a military meeting in the official hall, you~~, come and participate too!" ”
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, but he reacted for a moment, and hurriedly smiled respectfully: "Thank you, Lord for your grace!" ”
Lord Yuan made a round of patrols here, and soon left, the enemy was close in front of him, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest in this regard.
Watching Lord Yuan and his party leave, Li Yuanqing leaned on the suspension behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Man Gui was overjoyed and said: "Yuanqing, it's great!" You can finally attend Ningyuan's military meeting. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Lord Yuan, this person is really unpredictable!" ”
Man Gui laughed: "Yuan Qing, obviously you have the ability, but he Yuan Manzi also has to beg you, right?" Hahaha! ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, but he was a little undeniable, and no longer took Mangui's words.
On the side, Wu Sangui rubbed his nose vigorously, he obviously felt that Li Yuanqing's words had a great meaning!
…………
In a flash, four days have passed.
Over the past few days, Li Yuanqing has completely understood Lord Yuan's temper.
In everything, in terms of grand strategy, Li Yuanqing will never easily refute him, and whenever he wants to ask Li Yuanqing's opinion, Li Yuanqing always gives him some small suggestions in small details.
Of course, these suggestions seem to be small, but they are all Li Yuanqing's practical experience summed up from one arduous battle after another, and the effect is self-evident.
And with the passage of time, the sentry of the Jin army in front and behind is becoming more and more dense.
At noon on the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, outside the north gate of Ningyuan City, the overwhelming Houjin Army's banners swept like the waves of the mountains and tsunamis.
After waiting for more than ten days, the main force of the Houjin army finally arrived.
When he got the news that the main force of Houjin had arrived, Li Yuanqing was packing up his armament in the camp.
Knowing the essence of history, Li Yuanqing is very clear, 'Ning Yuan's great victory', he can't have too many opportunities to perform.
In this 'play', there can only be one protagonist, and that is his Inspector Yuan.
All of Li Yuanqing's layouts are gathered on Juehua Island.
Therefore, in addition to maintaining half a month's worth of food and grass, the sons and daughters of the Changsheng Battalion did not carry much war preparation materials, and most of the armament materials were left on the fleet.
Li Yuanqing also discovered a serious 'mistake' in his layout at this time, if the main force of the Houjin army besieged the city for a long time, then ~~~, if he wanted to rush to Juehua Island, it would definitely increase a lot of difficulty.
Fortunately, the east gate of Ningyuan City is not far from the sea, only six or seven miles away, and it is close to the river, and the sons and daughters of the Changsheng Camp are basically lightly armed.
Li Yuanqing also had to sigh, if he wanted to get it, he was destined to pay some.
Fortunately, after these days of hard work, the relationship between him and Inspector Yuan has finally improved somewhat. There are things that are no longer so difficult to talk about.
At most, he is still on the side of Ningyuan City, and after staying for a day or two, Li Yuanqing will have to plot how to talk to Inspector Yuan and garrison Juehua Island.
The one who came to inform Li Yuanqing and the main force of Houjin of the arrival was Yuan Inspector's personal guards and soldiers.
It can also be seen from this that Li Yuanqing's achievements in these days are quite 'outstanding', and Inspector Yuan has instinctively formed a certain sense of trust in him.
Li Yuanqing was really a little honored.
Leaving the affairs of the Changsheng Camp to Xu Heizi, who stayed behind, Li Yuanqing took Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, Kong Youde, Shunzi and other major generals to quickly go straight to the north gate.
By the time Li Yuanqing and his entourage arrived at the head of the North Gate, Inspector Yuan and the heads of the Guan Ning Department had basically arrived.
Inspector Yuan's face was obviously a little heavy, and when he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Li Junmen, you are here!" Come and see, the dog Tartar is not good at coming this time~! I'm afraid it will be at least 100,000 people! ”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly and respectfully came to Inspector Yuan's side, standing at his angle, looking down on the banner formation of the Houjin Army.
Although Inspector Yuan's statement is a little exaggerated, ~~, looking at the scale of the Houjin army's battle array, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people, 8~90,000 people.
Coupled with the minions and miscellaneous servants, it should not be difficult to exceed 100,000.
"My lord, the dog Tartar is menacing! We have to be more vigilant! Li Yuanqing hurriedly said to Inspector Yuan.
Inspector Yuan nodded slowly: "Li Junmen, as far as you can see, when will the dog Tartars attack the city?" ”
Li Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said busily: "Lord Hui, according to the experience of humble duties, if the Tartars want to attack the city, they must set up the camp properly before they can build siege equipment. But they were a few days behind our expected trip, and presumably, the old slave might have been prepared. Therefore, I think that later today, the Tartars are likely to launch a tentative attack on the city, and we have to guard against it! ”
"Humph!"
Inspector Yuan couldn't help but sneer: "Dog Tartar, I'm afraid they won't come!" If they dare to come, they will give them a taste of my treasure! ”
Of course, Li Yuanqing understood what Inspector Yuan said about 'baby'.
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of Liaoxi, and even, including the construction of Ningyuan City, the affairs of artillery were all under Sun Yuanhua's responsibility.
It's a pity that although Sun Yuanhua knows some knowledge of artillery, and in Daming, he can be regarded as a professional talent, but he is not as good as Yuan Inspector.
Inspector Yuan's hometown is in Dongguan, just a stone's throw away from Portuguese-occupied Macau.
Coupled with various human reasons......
In the end, all aspects of Ning Yuancheng's affairs were under the command of Inspector Yuan.
I have to say that this is the tragedy of Sun Yuanhua.
At this time, looking at Inspector Yuan's awe-inspiring and righteous appearance, Li Yuanqing was a little stunned for a while.
Could it be that later, the one who wants to make peace with Houjin is not him Inspector Yuan?
Or ~~~, with the confidence of Ning Yuan's battle, he Yuan Inspector already thinks that he can play with the entire Houjin military group between applause, 'raising thieves and respecting himself'?
Unfortunately, at this time, everything is unknown.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly gathered his mind and focused all his attention on the battle formation of the Houjin Army in front.
Inspector Yuan discussed the specific defense with the generals of the Guan Ning Department around him, and at this time, there were soldiers behind him who hurriedly came to report: "Report ~~~, news from the rear!" ”
Inspector Yuan couldn't help frowning, "Pass it on!" ”
"Yes!"
After a while, a personal soldier rushed up, knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord Qiyu, the sentinel in the rear of our army has just sent back the news, and the main force of Houjin has sent elite cavalry to hoard five miles outside the pass, completely cutting off the connection between our army and the pass!" ”
"What?"
"Shit, when did this happen? How did Lao Tzu not know at all? ”
"Dog Tartar is really insidious! Damn it, this is going to cut off our roots! ”
"My lord, we can't sit still!"
“………”
The officers of the Guan Ning Department around him suddenly came with a burst of sighing and scolding.
Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help but furrow.
The speed of the dog tartar is indeed fast!
During this time, Li Yuanqing had been participating in various military meetings held by Inspector Yuan, but he did not get the slightest rumor.
I'm afraid, Inspector Yuan shouldn't have the slightest news in this regard!
