Daming: From the end of Hongwu

275 Chapter 273 - Li Jinglong's Thoughts and Yan Jun's Arrival

Near the city gate, because the Southern Army temporarily retreated, most of the defenders in Beiping City and the Women's Army led by Xu Miaoyun gathered together to rest.

Therefore, naturally many people were paying attention to Xu Miaoyun's movements.

But when many people heard Xiao Liu's words, they were stunned and couldn't help laughing.

What kind of girl is this?

Somewhat different from ordinary people.

Xu Miaoyun also couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Zhu Yuying angrily: "Here, take it away, if you don't take the little girl to eat, I'm afraid you will blame me in your heart."

Zhu Yuying, Erxian, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister all showed a bit of embarrassment.

With such a younger sister, they don't know whether it is a matter of long face or low face.

Xiao Liu didn't think so much. Hearing what the concubine said, he happily came to Zhu Yuying's side, and looked at Zhu Yuying eagerly.

Zhu Yuying smiled shyly at Xu Miaoyun again, then greeted Erxian, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister, and walked towards the house together.

On the way, Zhu Yuying couldn't help complaining to Xiaoliu: "Look at your greedy mouth, there has never been a lack of food for you at home, the food in Wangyue Tower, Wangyun Tower, and Wangxian Tower has never seen you eat less, and now you still pay for it. You're so greedy, you're really useless."

"Sister-in-law is talking nonsense again, I was just at the top of the city, and many people praised me for being promising." Xiao Liu retorted unwillingly.

The two sages on the side gave Xiao Liu a brainstorm: "Sister-in-law said you, just listen to me honestly, why don't you talk back, let the big brother spoil you, it doesn't matter how big or small it is."

As soon as the words fell, the fourth and fifth sisters immediately had something to say, and they criticized Xiaoliu one after another.

"Well, if it weren't for the elder brother who always supported her, how would she have the courage today."

"Who says it's not? When I was young, it wasn't Liu girl who my elder brother loved the most."

Xiao Liu was jumping and running anxiously, with a small mouth to distinguish him from Zhu Yuying.

……

Several people talked and laughed and walked away slowly, Xu Miaoyun looked at Xiao Liu who was jumping up and down with a smile on his lips, 15 years old is really the best time for a girl.

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyun's eyes fell on her most beloved eldest daughter.

It suddenly occurred to me that when my daughter was 15 years old, she seemed to have formed an indissoluble bond with Zhen Wu.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smiled again, looking at it now, her daughter's vision is really good, she chose a good man and a good family for herself.

……

Warm moments are always short-lived in war-torn times.

It was just after noon.

The Southern Army attacked aggressively again, and the Women's Army had adapted in the morning, and both their courage and their actions had improved significantly.

They helped guard the Xuanwu Gate, listening to the sound of cannons, crossbows and the constant screams, they forgot all about their clean faces that they regarded as life in the past.

What is regarded as life.

If life is really unstable, many things that we cared about before will become worthless.

They grow.

In this experience, they gradually understand more and more about the kind of scenes their husbands or brothers are struggling and living in.

This is of great help to the shaping of their values ​​and the days to come.

As time passed slowly.

The southern army has been attacking for two hours.

The days of winter are short, and the boundless gray world is gradually deepening silently. Because of the help of the Women's Army, Xuanwumen managed to survive several times, but Chongwenmen survived under the pressure of the Southern Army. Under the onslaught, they were finally unable to catch up, and the southern army broke through the gate when it was dark.

Governor Qu Neng held back the bad breath from Li Jinglong, and it was only at this moment that he could release his arrogance. He was looking forward to the scene when he went to meet Li Jinglong with the achievement of breaking the city.

He had to ask himself, a dog's brain might be able to defeat Beiping City.

Qu Neng laughed wildly, led his two sons, and led the Jingqi straight into the city gate and started a tragic fight with the defenders. Master Daoyan, Gu Cheng and others who were responsible for assisting Zhu Gaochi in defending the city sent people early They went to other city gates to mobilize reinforcements, but there were too few soldiers. No matter which city gate it was, there was not enough strength at all, so how could they spare any strength to support them.

Dao Yan looked at the situation of Chongwenmen from afar, anxious and shocked.

"Is this person Qu Neng? Why is he so brave? He is no less fearful than our army Zhu Neng."

Gu Cheng said anxiously at the side: "Master, this is not the time to praise him. Find a way quickly, or the whole of Beiping will be in danger."

The city of Beiping is in danger, and everything is closed.

There is no need for Gu Cheng to remind this matter, Dao Yan also knows, he suddenly turned around to look at one person, and said in a deep voice: "The current situation has no choice but to do this dangerous move, you go and incite the people in the city to help the war, don't let the people fight with knives , but there must be a large number of people, let them gather together and shout."

"A bluff?" Gu Cheng asked.

"good."

Dao Yan nodded: "At present, this is the only way to delay time. At this time, it is dark, and Qu Neng can't tell the truth, and he doesn't know our details. Even if he can't retreat the enemy, he will scare Qu Neng to stop. The southern army is weakest in the morning and at night, and it must be because they are not tolerant to the severe cold. We just need to wait until the middle of the night when it is cold, and then fight hard, and we will be able to force them to retreat."

"But..." Gu Cheng was a little puzzled. There were some problems. If Li Jinglong's army flooded into Beiping City, no matter how many people bluffed, how could they be frightened?

But just as Gu Cheng opened his mouth, he met Dao Yan's cold eyes.

Gu Cheng instantly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. At this moment, no matter what, he had to give everyone confidence.

Once the army's morale is in chaos, there is no need to fight anything.

The words in Gu Cheng's mouth changed into something else: "But...what do you need to prepare for?"

Dao Yan shook his head: "No need."

After finishing speaking, Dao Yan urged the person who gave the order at the beginning: "Don't go down to do things?!"

The man came to his senses and hurried down to activate the trusts hidden among the people one by one.

In front of Chongwen Gate, Qu Neng was unstoppable. Not only did the killed defenders retreat again and again, but after a few quarters of an hour, Qu Neng chiseled the formation, and the killed garrison collapsed.

But when Qu Neng rushed into the street and was about to drive straight in, there was a huge noise erupting from behind the houses in the street not far away.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Neng heard countless footsteps in the left and right houses.

Qu Neng was shocked, all doubts surfaced in his heart, he instinctively thought that there were soldiers and horses hiding in front of him, intending to ambush him, and made a decisive decision, Qu Neng reined in the horse suddenly, he looked at the front in surprise, and then looked back at him soldiers and horses.

At this time, the soldiers and horses they attacked into the city were not too many, and Qu Neng's entire vanguard army had been fighting for a day, and everyone was already exhausted.

In view of these two points, Qu Neng dared not rush forward.

Qu Neng's son also discovered the problem, stepped forward and said to Qu Neng, "Father, beware of fraud."

"What do you think?" Qu Neng asked, he knew that his son was smart since he was a child.

His son, after a brief thought, said in a deep voice: "Father, now that we have breached the city gate, it is better to retreat slowly, and then defend the city gate for help. We are not the only ones outside the city, and it is not only our responsibility to attack Beiping, anyway. We have already captured the city, and it is time for other people to contribute, and we need to be more cautious at this time, not only to avoid the results of the battle, and then hand it back, but also to avoid being ambushed, and don't let our son die in vain .”

Qu Neng thought about it, what his son said made sense, and they were already in a state of exhaustion and lack of successors. It was impossible to capture the entire city of Beiping, and naturally it was not suitable for them to attack again.

Therefore, Qu Neng waved his hand decisively, and a group of soldiers began to retreat slowly. After they exited the street, they immediately distributed in front of the city gate, putting on a defensive attitude, and Qu Neng sent someone to ask for reinforcements from the other battalions. .

Although the messenger was tired at the moment, he didn't dare to delay the important matter, so he rode on his horse and ran towards the nearest military camp.

However, when he arrived at the barracks, the barracks general rejected the messenger's request.

Without a commander-in-chief, don't move lightly.

The messenger had no choice but to rush all the way to see Li Jinglong, but even if he beat the whip again, it still took a lot of time.

When he finally met Li Jinglong and told Li Jinglong the matter in detail, to the surprise of the messengers, Li Jinglong was not as excited as he imagined, and he did not immediately send a large army to help him, but directly Jumped up from his seat.

"What? You broke through the city gate of Beiping?" Li Jinglong's face was shocked.

"General, now we have breached Chongwen Gate, but our army is exhausted and unable to advance further, so we can only defend the city gate. Please send troops to help quickly, and when the army arrives, we will definitely be able to take Beiping City in one fell swoop. .” The orderly urged again.

But Li Jinglong still didn't send troops immediately, but fell into deep thought.

"General!" The orderly couldn't help but urged again.

Li Jinglong looked at him coldly, and reprimanded him: "Why are you panicking? This commander is responsible for the life and death of 50 troops. He doesn't think carefully. Do you want to listen to what you say, a little soldier?"

The messenger immediately knelt down on his knees in fright, not even daring to say anything.

This time, the messenger no longer dared to urge.

This caused Li Jinglong's handsome tent to suddenly fall into silence.

Li Jinglong looked at the messenger who lowered his head and dared not look at him, his eyes suddenly became murderous, but the next moment, Li Jinglong shook his head and vetoed his idea.

Many people in the barracks saw the messenger enter the commander's tent, and there were personal guards on the left and right, so the messenger could not be killed.

But what should I do?
Is it really going to break the city of Beiping, and then tie Zhu Di back to the capital?
As soon as this idea came up, Li Jinglong shook his head quickly.

Not to mention.

Not to mention that he had a good relationship with Zhu Di when he was young, and he was unwilling to tie Zhu Di back to the capital with his own hands.

Just saying that he had suffered a loss before.

The last time he captured the king of Zhou, he was ridiculed by many people in the army, especially Feng Sheng's old subordinates hated him so much that he had itchy teeth, and whenever he found a chance, he would do it for Feng Sheng's son-in-law. King Zhou, come to find trouble with him, which made him regret it long ago.

After all, his roots are in the military.

Don't offend too many people.

Is it necessary to arrest King Yan now?

King Zhu Di of Yan is Xu Da's son-in-law, Xu Da's old subordinates are no less than Feng Sheng, moreover, most of Xu Da's old subordinates and his father's old subordinates have a close relationship, and they were both Taizu's cronies before. If there is an avalanche of two factions, then how can he hang out in the army in the future.

What's more terrible is that he didn't say let go of the water to his old friends, but as soon as his army arrived, he broke through the city of Beiping like a broken bamboo.

Damn, it's too fast.

To let others see how hard he can work for him, there is not even an excuse to make excuses.

Li Jinglong's head turned sharply, his brows were furrowed in worry, and he kept cursing in his heart.

He knew it was not a good job this time.

He is a good Mr. Cao, why should he get involved in this shit.

no!The city of Peiping cannot really be captured.

Li Jinglong made up his mind in an instant. This battle must be played. After all, Geng Bingwen, an old guy, will be fine after returning. He still has the capital to lose the battle by relying on his father's shadow.

It's just that your reputation will suffer in the future.

But it doesn't matter, and it won't delay him listening to music and drinking tea to tease my concubine.

Thinking of this, Li Jinglong suddenly angrily reprimanded the messenger: "How dare you lie to my commander? Before Qu Neng couldn't conquer Beiping City for ten days, why did my commander break down the city gate as soon as he arrived? How could there be nothing wrong with this matter? You have surrendered to the enemy, and if you want to trick me into sending troops to take ambush, it is a trap set up by Beiping City to deliberately lure me over, how could I fall into such a trick."

"Come on." Li Jinglong roared angrily, not giving the orderly a chance to argue: "Press him down and look at him, and wait for the commander to find out before talking about other things. In addition, send me an order to the generals of the battalion. If there is no order for me, anyone Don't move lightly."

"Yes." The soldiers on the left and right supported the messenger and walked out, no matter how much the messenger struggled and defended, he was indifferent.

Looking at this scene, Li Jinglong was slightly relieved.

He thought, he is like this, if Beiping City is breached again, then he really has nothing to do.

After thinking about it, he planned to sit back on the seat again, but he was distracted for a moment, and couldn't help but lift the handsome tent, and walked out, he looked towards the direction of Daning in the northeast.

I muttered again in my heart: Zhu Di, Zhu Di, I can only help you delay like this. If you can’t come back as soon as possible and don’t even give me the chance to release the water, then when I kidnap you into Beijing, you can’t blame me. I miss my childhood love.

……

Peking City.

As the night got darker, the offensive at the other city gates of the Confederate Army had to slow down. On November nights, it was extremely cold in Beiping, and the wind seemed to blow off their ears. Countless Confederate troops were miserable. , and unbearable.

At Chongwenmen, Qu Neng waited for a long time, but the reinforcements had not been seen yet, but Daoyan and others rowed in Beiping City, and finally gathered a group of strong men. They were mixed with the regular army. Attack Qu Neng fiercely.

It is really cold in the north, especially today, the dripping water freezes.

The sergeants who lived in Peiping all the year round could bear it, but most of the soldiers in the Southern Army shivered without waiting for the soldiers to attack in this kind of weather. Some even held weapons and hid their hands in their arms. I dare not stick it out.

This situation made the Beiping soldiers even more happy. They knew that when it was colder, they could rub their hands, but they could not hide them in their arms, because once they were hidden, they would never be able to get them out again.

The warm palm was suddenly blown by the cold wind, and when the remaining temperature in the palm disappeared, what awaited him was a more piercing chill.

It's better to let the palms adapt to the temperature of the sky and the earth.

The fact is indeed the case, Qu Neng's soldiers and horses only resisted bravely for a while, and then they screamed and screamed, and then under the onslaught of the Yan army, even if they were unwilling, they were still kicked out of Beiping City .

Then, the city gate closed again.

The whole city of Beiping cheered in unison, even Monk Daoyan, who had always been indifferent, was a little excited and wanted to jump.

This night was really not easy for them.

Seeing that Qu Neng had finally retreated, Zhu Gaochi felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, twisted his fat body, endured the exhaustion of his body, and planned to go to the top of the city to have a look again.

But when he walked to the steps, he accidentally stepped on a pool of blood, and the pool of blood had frozen when the temperature dropped sharply at night, and he sat down on the ground with his slippery ass .

The people around Zhu Gaochi were startled, and then hurriedly helped Zhu Gaochi worriedly, but Zhu Gaochi waved his hand to stop their movements, and unexpectedly, crawled up to the pool of blood and stretched out his fingers to touch it.

Afterwards, under everyone's gaze, Zhu Gaochi laughed crazily.

"There is a solution, Master, there is a solution." Zhu Gaochi shouted.

Master Daoyan, who came with Zhu Gaochi, understood Zhu Gaochi's actions, and couldn't help laughing.

There is no such thing as a road to heaven.

However, the rest of the soldiers were at a loss.

However, Zhu Gaochi didn't let everyone think too much, even though he was still sitting on the ground, he hastily started to order the soldiers to fetch water overnight, and then let people bucket by bucket along the outer city wall, slowly Downstream toward the outside of the city.

It's cold tonight, dripping with ice.

The water flowed down the outer city wall, slowly forming patches of smooth ice on the city wall and under the city wall.

……

When Qu Neng returned to the barracks unwillingly and rushed into the tent of Li Jinglong's commander angrily, let's not mention the dispute for the time being. When Qu Neng planned to attack the city again the next day, he saw a thick layer of ice forming on the city wall, and Skates spread far away from under the city wall, their eyes widened in astonishment.

Then he went into a rage again.

He knew that his best time to break the city had disappeared last night.

There will definitely not be such a good opportunity in the future.

The facts were exactly as he had imagined. In the next two days, Qu Neng led people to attack twice again, but the slippery ice wall caused them too much trouble, so they had to settle hastily in the end.

At this time, some people in Qu Neng's army started rumors that the general was afraid of being robbed by Qu Neng, so he didn't support them. I don't know who spread these words, but Qu Neng sneered when he heard it.

Robbery?

snort!
Li Jinglong will not go to the front line to fight. No matter who breaks through the city of Beiping, doesn't he have the credit of the great general?
If the tactics are right, the scheduling is reasonable, and the credit for using troops like a god can't escape, will you be afraid that your subordinates will take credit?
joke.

I'm afraid...

Qu Neng didn't dare to think further.

One is that it is too scary, and the other is that Zhu Di's army has appeared in the lonely mountain forty miles away today!
Before the city of Beiping was broken, Zhu Di, Zhenwu and others finally returned with an army.
