It was the middle of the night, but Li Xin had not rested, and there were mountains of official documents on the table waiting for him to dispose of, many of which could not be delayed, and they needed to be solved the next morning, and he was almost so vigorous day after day with a kind of exuberant energy that ordinary people could hardly imagine. The work of plilling is in the final stages, the preparatory work for the rails has been completed, and the construction phase will soon begin, along with the bonds that have been in the works for a long time at the time of Sanwei......

There was also Taiyuan prefect Tian Fuzhen who stayed up all night together, and he was also called here, because none of these major events could not be separated from the cooperation of the prefect's yamen, so the two of them were together almost all night and night in the past few days. However, watching a warrior doing the work that only civilian parents should be responsible for day and night, he felt inexplicably uneasy, and he couldn't tell what the uneasiness was.

It was precisely because of Li Xin's behavior of grasping the military and government affairs in a big and small way that the Shanxi political envoy had become a virtual reality, and the political envoy Liu Lingyu clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Xin to him several times, and even threatened to report it to the imperial court, and buckled a big hat, saying that he was a military man who was chaotic and wanted to rebel, and had ill intentions.

Perhaps this uneasiness comes from this.

At the moment when Tian Fuzhen was distracted, Li Xin put down the brush in his hand and sighed: "I always feel restless, I am far away from the battlefield, but it is better to be in it to calm people's minds." After that, he laughed again, as if he was self-deprecating: "Maybe he was born to charge into battle, and the chair is uncomfortable for a long time, and it is far worse than the horseback!" ”

"The general laughed, how could he compare to this chair that holds the military and political power of a province on horseback!"

"Tianfu Zun Mo said and laughed, this chair is like sitting on pins and needles all the time, and only people who sit on it know the three flavors......"

Tian Fuzhen did not continue to entangle Li Xin with the topic of chairs, but turned back.

"As the saying goes, it is in people and success is in heaven, everything we should do has been done, and the rest depends on whether God is perfect! Heavenly luck, own arrangement! On the contrary, it is a general, as the commander of one side, no matter how big or small, I am afraid that it will make the soldiers in front feel constrained! ”

Li Xin knew very well that Tian Fuzhen was talking about his repeated military reports to the north. This kind of problem of not letting go of his hands, he quickly realized it, and he has been deliberately avoiding it.

"Don't talk about this, come and drink porridge, I'm afraid this lotus seed soup is the only one in Taiyuan City that I can drink in the military camp!"

Tian Fuzhen picked up the soup bowl that Li Xin pushed over like a trick, took a sip, and was really happy.

"Not necessarily, Jin Wangfu is the second! Isn't it true that the general has no clothes and no food for the things sent by the county lord? How did you make another exception? ”

Li Xin was stunned, "It's not a secret, Li Xin, who is so delicious, has already softened his hands, instead of cheapening the land, it is better to sacrifice our five internal organs temple!" ”

Tian Fuzhen sneered rarely: "General Li has always been decisive in people's impressions, how can he be such a mother-in-law in the matter of men and women?" Tian said something that should not be said, so decisive, for the county lord, is it too cruel? ”

Li Xin was embarrassed this time, but how could he go to the General Soldier's Mansion to tell the county lord that he already had a heart and would not marry her? Wouldn't it be more cruel to a young girl who has almost cut off her relationship with her closest father for this?

The plan to attack the city in an attempt to be condescending was broken by the Ming army, and Akzia was a little annoyed, and the pleasure of playing with cat and mouse was not left, so he decided to use mortar cannons to blast open the iron gate of the "Urn City".

Boom!

The two cannons were fired, but they shot into the sky, and the target of the shells was 108,000 miles away from the iron gate. Gun control is a highly technical task, and aiming before shooting is very important, and it is difficult for non-experienced people to do it. Two more shots were fired at the end of the fire, which made Akzia so angry that he snatched the torch from his subordinates and decided to light it himself.

Rumble!

A shot was fired, the projectile hit the iron gate, and the gravel on the city wall fell in a row, but the iron gate was not hurt in the slightest except for some deformation, and a burst of applause immediately sounded behind Akzia. In any case, this shot was hit, and it is still worth cheering.

Akzia disdainfully handed over the torch to his subordinates, telling him to fight hard, it seems that this iron gate is very strong and durable, and it is unrealistic to want to blast it with a few cannons, but he has time to wait, and the Mongols will not be able to transport the food without coming.

But these few cannons caused the people in the "Urn City" to have a serious disagreement.

Among them, the merchant side who joined later proposed to go out of the city by rope after the Tartars were repulsed, leave Xuanfu City, and rescue the Ming army in turn, and then kill it back with superior forces. But Li Fengxiang was unwilling to give up no matter what, after all, he came with the emperor's order and had the responsibility to defend the land. In this way, one side wants to leave, and the other side tries to stay.

Li Fengxiang Bi is the military director of the Xuanfu, and Jiwei also has some soldiers, and most of the soldiers obeyed the order, but the businessman led by him does not seem to give up the possibility of persuading Li Fengxiang to leave.

"Gong Li is in danger of Xuanfu's safety, in case the Tartar cannon blows up the iron gate, who will be able to command the army of thieves in this Xuanfu in the future?"

Li Fengxiang really wanted to raise his ears and tell him that except for the more than 10,000 Shaanxi soldiers who had been dispersed in the city, there would be no more army willing to listen to his dispatch. If it was in the past, if he continued to say a word, even if those turtle grandchildren were unhappy, they would have to break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. But now it's different from the past, his strong ability, that is, the main force of the Shaanxi soldiers is scattered, who else is willing to listen to him among the local guards and border army generals who have been offended by him?

But this belly cannot be spoken, and speaking out will undermine the already low morale. In the end, even Gao Keng came to persuade him, "Gong Li, what this gentleman said is right, the gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, if you have a good body, who will the villains expect to go in the future?" ”

Gao Keng said frankly, Li Fengxiang was also greatly moved, he didn't have many cronies, Gao Keng was one, this young man had a lively head and was reliable in doing things, and he sighed when he thought of this.

"Okay, Gao Keng, you go with them, our family stays and guards the food."

There are too many hundreds of thousands of stone grains, and many people are afraid that they have never seen so much grain in their lives, putting aside other factors, but it is absolutely impossible for Li Fengxiang to give up these hundreds of thousands of stone grains.

As soon as Gao Keng saw Li Fengxiang talking like this, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "How can Gong Li say two words?" Since Li Gong is ready to fight to the death with the Tartars, the villain also fights with the Tartars! ”

"Fight! Fight! ”

Under Gao Keng's inspiration, even the attitudes of many grain depot guards are changing abruptly.

The merchant saw that he had no choice but to give up the idea of leaving Xuanfu City, but could they really hold on? The answer is definitely no, this can be thought out with the toes, but how long can they hold on, the Tartars have cannons, in case this iron gate can't be stopped, let the family catch the turtle steadily, this task can be completely defeated.

To put it bluntly, he still blames Li Fengxiang for being too incompetent, he is wondering, how stupid people are to lose contact with all the armies in the moment the enemy attacks, and what is even more outrageous is that these armies were originally veterans of a hundred battles, how did they become rows of soft-footed shrimp when they arrived at Li Fengxiang?

Seeing that the day was dawning, but the fire in the city had not yet seen a small trend, as the chaotic cries in the city reached a climax again, the soldiers standing on the high city walls immediately warned downward:

"Oh no, Tartar reinforcements are coming, and they're all cavalry! Damn, and plague the people......"

These words made the spirits of the people in the "Urn City" suddenly tense, and the morale that had just been puffed up was like a pig's urine bubble that had been punctured, so don't be deflated immediately. Seeing this, Li Fengxiang knew that if he didn't leave, everyone would have to be stewed, so he no longer insisted and took the initiative to agree to evacuate Xuanfu.

"Alas! Our family knows that this Xuanfu can't be defended, let's go, let's go! Gao Keng, you take the lead, take advantage of the fact that the Tartars are not on the city wall, so that these brothers can land safely outside the city. ”

Seeing that he was pessimistic, the businessman at the head persuaded: "Reinforcements will arrive today, as long as we hold on, the Xuanfu will still be ours sooner or later!" ”

Li Fengxiang finally couldn't hold back, "There will be no reinforcements today, and there will be no reinforcements tomorrow, so let's split up and run for our lives when we get out of the city!" ”

The businessman who was the leader wanted to tell the truth, but he was worried that he couldn't reveal his identity, so he had to endure it, and the infantry soldiers sent by the general were about to arrive, and he would be able to retire when the time came. Then it's better to expect pigs to climb trees!

Seeing that the sky was bright, but the Mongol army that was supposed to arrive in Xuanfu City had not yet arrived, Akzia couldn't help but feel a little impetuous, but he warned himself over and over again that he must guard against arrogance and rashness, he had suffered such losses before, and this time he must not make the same mistake again.

The burning and looting after the horse thief reinforcements entered the city made him a little uncomfortable, but this was promised to others, and it was in exchange for them to send troops, and he now has no capital to break his promise and gain weight, the main force of this army is the Mongols, the protagonist has not arrived for a long time, and this drama is really not good to sing.

As for the hundreds of thousands of stone grain in the city, only his subordinates can transport it away, but this will only make them the target of the Ming army, without a strong army to protect them on the left and right, I am afraid that they will not even be able to get out of the side wall, and they will have to be chased and beaten by others.

"Come on! Gather men and horses, storm the 'urn city', within an hour, the master will do whatever it takes, and cut all the people inside into meat sauce! ”

He completely lost his patience to play with cats and mice, the mortar was reloaded with ammunition, and the rumbling cannon officially kicked off the assault!
