Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 228 Dodo is so angry
The soaring fire that ignited from the camp of Jiannu alarmed the bravery in Shanyang City.

Villagers went up to the top of the city to watch the fun, and Mao Xiang was awakened by these villagers, and immediately put on a cotton robe and returned to the northeast corner of the west city.

Seeing Maoxiang, Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "Brother Pijiang, why are you back?"

"Brother Boheng, why did the slave camp catch fire all of a sudden?" Mao Xiang asked in amazement.

"It's nothing, I sent someone to send them a big gift." Yan Yingyuan said with a smile, "Anyway, after all, they are guests from afar, don't you think so? Hah."

"You set the fire?" Mao Xiang was stunned.

Then he complained again: "Brother Baoheng, you are so uninteresting. You didn't call me for such a lively event? If it wasn't for those brave men who woke me up, I would have almost missed this big show."

Yan Yingyuan waved his hand and said, "Hey, I just want you to sleep a little longer."

"Why are you still sleeping?" Mao Xiang said excitedly, "The loss of Jiannu should not be small."

Yan Yingyuan hummed and said: "Judging from the intensity of the fire, the dozens of piles of grain, grass and luggage that caught fire should have been burned. I estimate that half a month's rations of Jiannu can be burned."

Mao Xiang counted with his fingers: "Based on [-] people, plus the minimum standard of one liter of rice per person per day, half a month is [-] shi! Good guy, Duoduo should be mad."

"The most important thing is that we can save half a month from defending the city!"

Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "There is an old saying that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and if you attack for a long time, you will be defeated. If you can't reduce the ration supply of Jiannu and let Jiannu attack the city for a long time, Shanyang will fall sooner or later."

"Well, it makes sense." Mao Xiang deeply agreed.

Now the hope of keeping Sanyo is greatly increased.

……

Doduo was indeed about to go mad with anger.

What made Doduo angry was not only the fact that most of the food, grass, and supplies bordered with white flags were burned, but that they were still laughing at Chongzhen's servants yesterday, mocking the embarrassment of the two scholars sent by Chongzhen to Huai'an Prefecture to train troops and defend the city Da Ren, the result was that he was slapped mercilessly in the face by the other party before dawn, and his face was almost swollen.

At this moment, Duoduo really felt the burning shame on his face and panicked.

As a veteran soldier who has led the army for nearly twenty years, his camp was unexpectedly attacked by two fledgling white-faced scholars. Doesn't this mean that he is inferior to the two scholars?
When this matter was reported back to Xuzhou, Luo Luohun and Luck Dehun didn't know how to laugh at him and bury him. They were the only ones who stole the Ming army's battalion, but his Duduo's battalion was the only one that the Ming army succeeded in sneak attacking.

This alone is enough to make Duoduo the laughing stock of the Eight Banners.

Thinking of this, Doduo's whole body is about to split apart, he's so ashamed!

"Ge Ge, Ge Ge Ge." The voice of chattering teeth sounded from behind Duduo.

Turning around, Doduo saw He Luohui who was wearing only an obscene garment and tied to a stake.

In this cold weather, He Luohui was only wearing an obscene dress, and He Luohui was completely bruised from the cold.

"Dog slave, you are so elegant, you were still thinking about this before the war?" Duoduo hated him so much that he really wanted to count He Luohui on the spot.

It's not that you, He Luohui, can't find a woman. As for finding a man?
If you're looking for a man, you're looking for a man. When can't you find it, but last night?If you bear it, you will die?

What did my lord tell you before camping last night?I asked you to carefully check every blunderbuss platform to guard against the Ming army's sneak attack at night, but you are so guarded against it?Into the mother thief!
"Master." He Luohui's face turned purple from the cold, and he wanted to beg Dodo to let him add a cotton coat, but he was worried that he would offend Dodo even more, and instead invite an extra beating.

"Don't call me master, I'm not your master."

Duoduo roared with a dark face: "I don't have a slave like you."

It was not until the moment of ignorance that the fire finally slowly extinguished.

The losses of each Jiala in the Xiangbai Banner were also summarized one after another.

Niyaha came over quickly, flicked his sleeves and gave Duduo a thousand slaps: "Master."

"Niyaha, your complexion looks very bad." Duoduo frowned, "Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"Returning to the master, the slave has already seen the doctor." Niyaha said, "The doctor said that there is nothing serious, maybe it is because he is tired after not taking him in all night."

"Then don't hold on."

Duoduo said something with concern, and then asked again: "Have you found out everything?"

Niyaha said with a dark face: "A total of [-] gun platforms were attacked by Ming dogs last night, seven of them were seen through by Qi Ding or Bao Yi, and they failed to succeed. The remaining [-] gun platforms all caught fire."

"What about the loss?" Dodo asked, "How many casualties? How much food and supplies have been lost?"

"There were no casualties." Niyaha replied, "The burnt supplies included more than [-] stones of grain, more than [-] carriages and vans, more than [-] arrows, and fodder and armor. And the car."

Listening to Niyaha's report, Duduo's eyes went black for a while. This wave of losses was too heavy.

The loss of so many supplies will inevitably seriously weaken the continuous combat capability of the entire army. If they cannot obtain food and livestock supplements from the territory of Huai'an Prefecture, they can last another month at most.

After a month, they will have to withdraw their troops due to running out of food.

There were originally two months of rations, but now there is only one month left.

Niyaha said again: "Master, Xianglan Banner has caught another alive."

"Live?" Doduo hated him so much, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bring it up."

Niyaha signaled Banner to bring the living Ming army captured last night to Duoduo.

"Hello, what's your name?" Dodo still wanted to ask carefully at first.

If he can ask for some useful information, he doesn't mind giving the other party a good time.

But Ming Junhuo opened his mouth and spit bloody phlegm on Duoduo's face.

Duduo was so angry that he flew into a rage, and immediately ordered the two flagmen to control the Ming army, then drew a sharp dagger from his elbow, cut off a large piece of Ming army's upper and lower lips, and knocked off the Ming army. Teeth, using a dagger to poke into Ming Jun's mouth and twist his mouth and tongue into a puddle of minced meat.

But the Ming army was also a ruthless person, after being severely injured, he glared at Duo Duo angrily.

Then, taking advantage of Dodo's unpreparedness, another big mouthful of blood was spit on Dodo's face.

There was still a lot of minced meat mixed in this mouthful of blood, which covered Duoduo's face.

Duoduo was about to go mad with anger, and immediately ordered Banner Ding to strip off all the clothes of the Ming army, and then personally cut off the roots and eggs of the Ming army's descendants.

He Luohui immediately felt a chill in his lower body.

Duoduo cut at least a hundred knives on the Ming army, and did not give up until the Ming army had died.

"These smart dogs must die! After the city is broken, all of them will be executed!" Duoduo threw the dagger on the ground, motioning Fan Chengmo to wipe his hands.

Fan Chengmo hurriedly took a hot towel and wiped Dodo's hands.

After wiping off the blood on his hands, Duoduo said again: "Niyaha, go and find out which dog servants were in charge of guarding the sentry last night? After you find out, no matter whose family's coated servants are, they will all be executed!"

"Hey!" Niyaha yelled again, turned around and left with a murderous look.

Duoduo said again: "Beat the drums and call the banner masters of each banner, Baylor's army, to discuss matters."

The sound of horns and drums soon sounded continuously in the Jianshou camp.

……

"Jiannu is beating drums and gathering generals." Yan Yingyuan said quietly, "The attack on the city will begin soon."

Hearing this, Mao Xiang became nervous instantly: "Then call Xiangyong to the city quickly?"

"Well, Xiangyong can go to the city now." Yan Yingyuan nodded, and said, "Brother Pijiang, you and I should split up. The west city will be handed over to you, and the east city will be in charge of me."

"Okay." Maoxiang nodded and said again, "If you have any questions, let me know in time."

"Okay." Yan Yingyuan agreed, and then said, "Under normal circumstances, the canal gate bridge connecting the east and west cities must be unimpeded, but everything is not afraid of [-], just in case. Let's communicate according to the sign language taught by the Holy Majesty, and remember to be at the east gate when the time comes."

"Okay, brother Boheng, take care."

"Brother Pijiang, take care too."

The two bowed to each other and left separately.

……

At the same time, the flag owners of the two white flags and the bordered blue flag, Baylor, Beizi, and generals such as Meilezhangjing and Jialazhangjing have gathered in the Guntai bunker where Duoduo lives.

This is a large gun platform, and the bunker hall is large enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people.

At this time, Duoduo was furious at the nobles with two white flags.

"It's a shame, it's really a shame, the face of the two white flags has been completely humiliated by you."

"No, not only the two white flags, but the entire Qing Dynasty has lost all face!"

"I, Duoduo, followed Lao Khan to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. I have been on the battlefield for [-] years, and have fought more than a hundred battles, big and small. I have never fought such a shameful battle. Because of you, I, Duoduo, will become the laughing stock of the Eight Banners! "

Including He Luohui, who had already put on cotton clothes, all the nobles of the two white flags bowed their heads.

Only the nobles of Gushan Ezhen, Mei Lezhangjing, Jiala Ezhen, and Jialazhangjing of the Xianglan Banner were secretly laughing, thinking that you two white flags have today?Happy!

Duoduo scolded the nobles of the two white flags for half an hour.

Finally, he said: "Since the matter has already happened, it will not help to regret it any more. In short, the more than [-] stones of grain and hundreds of thousands of arrows that were burned will never be retrieved!"

"But some things can still be found."

"I, Doduo, can still get back my face."

"The reputation of the two white flags can also be regained!"

"If you don't want the two white flags to be a laughing stock, if you don't want me, Duoduo, to be a laughing stock, then today, you will take down this Shanyang city for this king!"

After this pause, Duoduo said with a ferocious face again: "Take down Shanyang, wash Shanyang with blood, take the heads of hundreds of thousands of dogs in Shanyang City to correct my crimes, take the blood of hundreds of thousands of dogs in Shanyang City Let’s wash away your shame! Take the mountains of food and wealth in Shanyang City to prove that our two white banners are the strongest among the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty!"

Hearing Duduo's hoarse roar, the noble blood of the two white flags was about to burn.

Niyaha even beat his chest fiercely with a fist the size of a sandbag, and yelled: "Master, look well, the slaves will definitely take the sons and daughters to take down Shanyang City today!"

"Okay, I will wait to see your performance."

Duoduo nodded, and said again: "Command, start attacking the city!"

"Hey!" He Luohui responded loudly, "The general ordered to attack the city..."

"General order, start to attack the city..." Duoduo's order was quickly conveyed.

The bannermen of the two white flags and the bordered blue flag immediately left the camp continuously.

……

Yan Yingyuan has arrived at the north gate of Dongcheng.

It happened that Zhi Tingjian, the magistrate of Shanyang County, was also at the north gate.

Zhi Tingjian was the magistrate of Shanyang County who took office in the [-]th year of Chongzhen.

"The county lord." Yan Yingyuan said, "It's fine if I'm here."

"Anyway, I can't sit still in the county government." Zhi Tingjian shook his head, and said again, "So I simply came to the top of the city, Yan Xiaoyou just treats me as a villager and dispatches me."

To be honest, Zhi Tingjian is the same as Fan Zhongjie, and he has reservations about Chongzhen sending two scholars, Yan Yingyuan and Maoxiang, to Shanyang to practice Xiangyong and defend the city.

But Zhi Tingjian, like Fan Zhongjie, knows the priorities.

Now that the Holy Majesty's decree has been issued, it is useless to say anything else. The only thing they can do is to cooperate with Yan Yingyuan and Mao Xiang as much as possible, and try to defend the city as much as possible.

Yan Yingyuan is also well aware of this.

At that moment, Yan Yingyuan stopped being hypocritical and said: "In this way, there will be Lao Xianzun who summons the people to wait under the city. Once the defense equipment of a certain city wall is in an emergency, it can be replenished in time."

"Alright." Zhi Tingjian immediately turned and went down to the city.

Yan Yingyuan called Wu Erdan over again, and said, "Erdan, let Xiangyong set up the cauldron and boil the golden juice! There are also thirty tiger squatting guns and six hundred bird guns in Dongcheng, all of them Transfer to the north city wall! Jiannu's intention is already obvious, that is to attack the north gate city wall, then let's gather all the firearms and give Jiannu a blow!"

"Yes." Wu Erdan agreed, and immediately went to mobilize the tiger squatting gun and bird gun.

There are specialized artillerymen and musketeers in Shanyang’s Twenty Thousand Townships, and they have also practiced firing tiger squat cannons and bird guns. However, in terms of business, they are definitely not comparable to the frontier army and scholar battalion. The key is to be skilled. Not enough.

After a while, a smoky stench and the smell of golden juice began to permeate the city wall.

Yan Yingyuan carefully inspected the rolling wood and stones piled up on the top of the city, as well as the ten thousand enemies and other defensive equipment.

By the way, after Yan Yingyuan arrived in Shanyang, he set up a gunpowder soil workshop and produced more than [-] catties of gunpowder. The quality of the gunpowder is not very good, but it is just right for making ten thousand enemies.

Yan Yingyuan also specifically told Xiangyong, who was guarding thousands of enemies, to be careful and pay attention to Jiannu Huogong.

After the inspection, Yan Yingyuan also settled down: Shanyang City is ready. If Jiannu is not afraid of death, then just let him come here. I, Yan Yingyuan, will definitely give you a big surprise.

When he looked up again, a group of infantry had already been separated from the Jiannu formation.

This team of infantry probably consisted of more than [-] people, pushing dozens of chariots as they approached the city wall of the North Gate step by step, and the battle was imminent.

【Happy National Day everyone】
