Chapter 259: A belated siege

~~~~~~~

For five or six days in a row, the Houjin army did not bulldoze and fill the ditches, launched an offensive, and did not make much moves, as if they were here for vacation, not to fight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But they are not in a hurry, and Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry.

In addition to taking turns with Chen Zhong every day to be on duty at night, Li Yuanqing added a new action to the deployment of the Changsheng Battalion, every dinner, all the officers of the Changsheng Battalion above the general level had to come to Li Yuanqing's big tent to eat.

Nominally, this is a daily routine summary meeting, but at the root, it is Li Yuanqing who connects feelings, envelops the hearts of the army, and firmly holds the power of this army in the palm of his hand.

Even if Wei Liang, the prison guard, knew that Li Yuanqing had selfish intentions in this matter, Li Yuanqing had a firm foothold in righteousness, and even if he wanted to provoke thorns, he couldn't find a way.

Slowly, Wei Liang also felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the power center of the Immortal Camp.

As a last resort, he had to abandon his beloved Xiaozao and join the dinner meeting.

It's just that every day at dinner, Li Yuanqing just eats, drinks, talks and laughs with a group of generals, and briefly summarizes the battle of the day, and there are no superfluous major affairs.

And these little things are Li Yuanqing's business, even if he wants to interject, he can't interject, so he has to accompany this group of vulgar martial artists to eat together.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was very respectful to him, and whenever there was a major event, such as which unit changed guards and what the morale of the soldiers was, Li Yuanqing would report to him, which also made Wei Liang's heart feel a little better.

Slowly, Wei Liang also wanted to open.

With Li Yuanqing's state at this time, Jian is in the emperor's heart, and he is so strong, fighting in the ring with him, it is simply an old birthday star eating arsenic~ Frost ---- find guilt for himself.

Anyway, he is the prison army, and he has also made a lot of money in the city, as long as Li Yuanqing can win the battle, there will always be his merits.

He simply stopped mixing these things, ate his small stove with peace of mind, walked around the city every day, brushed up on his sense of existence, and went to the big tent in the city to raise it with peace of mind.

On Chen Zhong's side, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang became the most comfortable people in Fuzhou City at this time.

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang are sensible, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are here, and there is more space.

After the Jin army did not attack the city, the city practiced as usual, basically the physical training, queue, and military posture of the morning exercise, but compared with the time on Changsheng Island, the training intensity has been weakened to a certain extent.

Coming from later generations, Li Yuanqing knows very well the terrible force of this huge inertia.

Once these soldiers are allowed to form an instinct for his orders, he will have more choice and control in the face of a crisis.

And the night patrol at night has become the moment that Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde are most looking forward to, because at the end of each night patrol, Li Yuanqing will teach them by word and deed, and teach them carefully, so that the two of them have made a huge qualitative improvement in both military quality and military vision in just a few days.

But on the seventh day, this eerie balance was upset.

More than 1,000 sturdy auxiliaries of the Houjin army began to bulldoze and fill the ditches, and in the distance, there were also auxiliary soldiers of the Houjin army cutting off the rivers and leading them to the right track.

Although this work was not done by Han slaves, these Houjin army auxiliaries were obviously more professional, and at this rate, at most 2 days, these trenches and river fortifications outside the city would be pushed under the city.

Last night was Li Yuanqing's night, but as soon as he fell asleep, he was called up by Wei Liang.

Although the Houjin army was only a small move, it had already scared the prison army half to death, as if Li Yuanqing was not by his side, and the Houjin army would immediately attack the city.

At the head of the city, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Wei Liang, Zhang Qiliang, and the four top commanders of the two departments were already present.

Chen Zhong said: "Yuanqing, Huang Taiji can really endure his temperament. It seems that the day after tomorrow, they are almost about to attack the city. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Huang Taiji can win this errand, and the pressure must be extremely great.

Li Yuanqing also knew that according to his shrewdness, he must not have been idle these days, and he must have made all preparations before he began to attack the city.

"There is no need to rush in this matter. It is business as usual in the city, and the exercise is not to be interrupted. The morale of the sons and daughters is good, what tricks he makes, let's follow. Li Yuanqing looked at the three of them with a smile.

Wei Liang hurriedly said: "General Li, here, after this, the Jin army will be pushed to the city, don't we go out of the city to snipe?" Are they allowed to push the fortifications under the city? ”

Li Yuanqing glanced at Wei Liang, "Lord Supervisor, the Houjin soldiers are sharp in combat power, all of them are brave and invincible, if you go out of the city to snipe, in case you encounter trouble, this city will be ......."

"Huh?"

Wei Liang couldn't help but be taken aback, but also reacted, and hurriedly said: "General Li, this matter, this matter is not properly considered, and the military is subject to you." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Wei Jianjun also has no actual combat experience, and there is no coincidence in this, if you experience it a few more times, you will understand." Let's not stand here anymore, if the Houjin army wants to fill in the soil, let them fill it. Wait until the siege of the city. ”

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang saw that Li Yuanqing said so lightly, and they were also a little relieved, but they were still in the city and refused to leave.

Li Yuanqing didn't bother to pay attention to them, explained a few words to Chen Zhong, and went back to rest.

The war is about to begin, and he must recharge his energy and wait for Huang Taiji's challenge.

…………

The time had come to the end of March, and the Houjin army's bulldozing offensive had been completely completed, but after waiting for another five or six days, on the morning of March 23, the Houjin army was in the battle formation, and only then did it begin to make big moves.

Early in the morning, the trumpets in the battle formation of the Houjin Army sounded in unison, and the white flag, the red flag, the blue flag, as well as the red flag and the yellow flag, almost fifteen or sixteen Niu Lu, were in full swing.

At the head of the city, Chen Zhong's face was a little cold, he looked directly at the Wang Qi with a red flag not far away, and said coldly: "Yuanqing, Yue Tuo is actually here." ”

Li Yuanqing sneered slightly, and glanced at the banner unfurled in the Houjin Battle Formation not far away, "I'm afraid it's not just Yue Tuo, He Heli is also here." ”

Chen Zhong nodded, and couldn't help sneering: "The old slave dog day is not coming, but the disciples and grandchildren are all alive." ”

Wei Liang hurriedly said: "He Heli? But, but the one who is one of the five ministers of the Later Jin? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Exactly." ”

Wei Liang's face suddenly turned even paler, and he looked at Li Yuanqing with blank eyes, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it at all.

Li Yuanqing smiled and leaned over to him and whispered, "Lord Supervisor, you don't have to worry, although the Tartars are brave, they are not birds. Without wings, they could not fly from the city. ”

Wei Liang of course understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and hurriedly said: "General Li, the command of the Changsheng Battalion in this battle will be handed over to you by this supervising army, and this supervising army will supervise the battle behind you." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and saluted respectfully, "The humble position must live up to the trust of the prison army." ”

At about 8 o'clock, the Houjin battle array has been assembled, with white flags, red flags, and blue flags, one for each flag, 3 Niu Lu, and nearly 1,000 armored soldiers, under the escort of more than 1,000 armored auxiliary soldiers, slowly walked out of the Houjin camp.

Subsequently, more than a dozen cattle from each banner flocked out and came to Fuzhou City a mile away, and lined up in formation.

There was morning fog in the morning, and it was not clear for a while, but at this time, the sun rose, the morning fog dissipated, and on the city, you could clearly see the state of the Jin army on the opposite side.

The vanguard of the Three Banners were all thick-armored heavy infantry, with at least three layers of armor on their bodies, cotton armor and leather armor on the inside, thick iron armor on the outside, huge armor on their shoulders, chest masks and heart guards, and iron plates on their elbows and knees.

In the morning sun, bursts of light are reflected.

Among the auxiliaries behind them, there were already dozens of chariots covered in thick cowhides, ready to go, as well as three tall corner towers, and the auxiliaries on both sides were carrying dozens of ladders, which were obviously just made by looking at their condition.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but take a sip fiercely, "The Emperor Taiji of the dog day is really insidious, he is really not idle." ”

Although the Houjin army had a strong lineup, seeing Huang Taiji show his hole cards, Li Yuanqing relaxed and said with a slight smile: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." Big brother, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions. ”

Chen Zhong also reacted and couldn't help laughing, "Yes, the time has come for us to make meritorious contributions." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "Sons, are you ready to make meritorious contributions?" ”

There was a tidal wave of shouts from the surrounding children, "General, we have been ready for a long time." ”

"As long as the Tartars catch up, we will let the dogs come and go."

Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing glanced at each other, and they both showed a relieved smile, I'm afraid that you won't come.

Opposite side.

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, Yue Tuo, He Heli and other dozens of Eight Banner nobles and generals are also watching the head of Fuzhou City.

After dragging on for so long, they have long been a little impatient.

Huang Taiji glanced at the sun in the sky and couldn't help but smile faintly, "It's almost time." Tell the order to go down and do it. ”

"Wow."

In a moment, the melodious sound of antlers sounded, and the three soldiers and auxiliaries of Niu Lu, pushing dozens of chariots, surrounded by three huge corner towers, carrying cloud ladders, like a tide, slowly but quickly approached the city of Fuzhou.

Maybe it was because Lushun suffered a big loss last time, in order to guard against the fire attack of the Ming army, their formation was very scattered, but they were densely connected and very compact, like a group of jumping and scattered ants, visually, giving people a very strong impact.

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang shrank back nervously, and the dozen or so brocade guards around them were also like great enemies, if it weren't for their identities, they would have already shrunk to the bottom of the city.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were very indifferent.

Chen Zhong sneered slightly, "Yuanqing, here." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, "Don't worry." It's still early. ”

Most of the offensives on the side of the Later Jin Army relied on the sound of antlers, while on the side of the Ming Army, most of them were mainly drums, and many were even Fengyang flower drums......

To some extent, although the drum sound is more powerful, it requires more manpower and is more inconvenient to carry.

In the past, Li Yuanqing did not pay attention to this detail, but at this time, seeing the process of dispatching and adjusting the post-Jin army, Li Yuanqing also had a new idea in his heart.

The assembly mode of the Houjin Army is good, just like the loud horn sound of the Red Army in later generations, as soon as the horn sounds, the soldiers will move forward bravely.

Although Houjin is an enemy, after all, they are the essence of countless wars, and Li Yuanqing naturally doesn't mind learning from the excellent aspects.

Soon, the battle formation of the Houjin army had approached two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, and one hundred steps......

Seeing that they were about to reach eighty steps, Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, and waved his hand to the herald soldiers beside him, "Bird soldiers, ready." ”

"Yes." In a moment, through the flag, Li Yuanqing's order spread throughout the city.

At this time, at the head of the city, Shunzi and the bird soldiers of various departments had 4 generals, close to 600 people, and Chen Zhong's 3 generals, more than 400 birds, they couldn't wait for a long time.

Seeing that the battle formation of the Houjin army had entered the range of shooting, the officers of all departments raised their command knives in their hands.

Not far from Li Yuanqing's side, Shunzi stared directly at the vanguard of the Houjin Army, seeing that they had already entered the effective range of seventy steps, he sneered slightly, gritted his teeth fiercely, "Shoot-------。 Give Lao Tzu a beating to death. ”
