Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 234 Dodo Is Autistic

Dodo also seemed to be frozen, standing there without moving for a long time.

"Master? Master? Master?" He Luohui called three times, but Dodo didn't respond.

"Master?" He Luohui couldn't help poking Dodo lightly with his hand, but Dodo fell straight down.

"Master!" He Luo would let out a heart-piercing wail, and rushed forward with Ah Shan to help Dodo up, only to find that Dodo's face had turned white in just this moment.

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and call Lang Zhong!" He Luohui hissed again.

"What doctor are you looking for, the prince is frozen, take him back quickly!"

After Ah Shan finished speaking, he yelled at Fan Chengmo and Hou Fangyu: "You two dog slaves, why don't you hurry back to the bunker and burn the kang, what are you going to do if you want to freeze the prince?"

Hou Fangyu quickly followed Fan Chengmo and ran back in panic.

While running, he was secretly shocked, the Qing court lost the battle today.

The wave just now, to say the least, ruined more than [-] elites from the two white flags!

This Yan Yingyuan, I really didn't see it before, is so powerful!
……

Hou Fangyu was not the only one who had the same sigh.

Mao Xiang and Fan Zhongjie were also secretly shocked, especially Fan Zhongjie, everyone was dumbfounded.

After a long time, Fan Zhongjie finally came back to his senses, and said with a long sigh: "When I read Romance of the Three Kingdoms when I was young, I was always amazed by the endless conspiracies and tricks in the book, especially when I read about the empty city plan, I was so excited that I couldn't control it. Zhuge Liang, who was substituted into the book, grew up..."

"When I grew up, I realized that it was just a novelist's nonsense."

"On the real battlefield, where are there so many conspiracies?"

"What is on the battlefield is nothing more than the sacrifice of soldiers on both sides, the consumption of food and supplies on both sides, and the competition of national strength between the two countries."

Having said this, he paused, and then said: "But in this battle of Shanyang, I began to believe that there was a real plan. Wu Heng burned Jiannu three times before and after, and today even flooded Jiannu with water, no less than [-] people. The trick is really amazing, even if Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is here, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that?"

Hearing Fan Zhongjie's praise of Yan Yingyuan so highly, Mao Xiang was not only not jealous, but felt first-class and honored.

This is Yan Yingyuan, this is the scholars of the Scholars Camp, and he Maoxiang is one of them!

At that moment, Mao Xiang asked Fan Zhongjie with a smile: "Fu Zun, now you won't worry about the safety of Shanyang City anymore, right?"

"Don't worry anymore. With you and Bo Heng here, there is nothing to worry about." Fan Zhongjie smiled and said, "If it wasn't for my duty, I would have gone back to the government office to sleep."

Fan Zhongjie couldn't stop laughing after finishing speaking.

Mao Xiang also laughed.

……

Dodo is still in a dazed state.

The doctor gave Duo Duo the most comprehensive examination.

"How?" He Luohui asked with concern.

"My lord, the prince is fine." The doctor shook his head and said.

"What, nothing serious?" Ah Shan frowned and said, "If the prince is really all right, why didn't he respond when I talked to him?"

Speaking of that, Ah Shan called Duoduo again: "My lord?"

He Luohui also shouted eagerly: "Master?"

However, Dodo still didn't respond, just staring at the wall in front of him.

"You bastard, you also said that the prince is fine." Ah Shan grabbed the Langzhong's lapel by splitting his chest, and said angrily, "Are you trying to excuse your own incompetence, oh?"

"Your Excellency, the prince is really fine."

Lang Zhong panicked and said, "My lord is just stimulated and has a hypochondria."

"Conjection?" Ah Shan and He Luohui looked at each other, it was too bad.

The so-called hypocrisy, in modern terms, is actually autistic.

Suffering under Yan Yingyuan's hands continuously, and each time the loss is more severe and miserable, especially this time today, Duoduo has been carefully planning for many days, and even sent an urgent delivery to Beijing, and vowed in the urgent delivery He promised Dorgon that he would win Sanyang this time, but in the end...

How can this make Doduo feel uncomfortable?So shut down directly.

……

Duduo had been beaten to the point of autism, but Yan Yingyuan did not relax at all.

Immediately after Jiannu retreated, Yan Yingyuan began to strengthen the defense of the turret.

Thanks to Duoduo, he couldn't see this place. If he saw this scene, he would scold his mother: Yan Yingyuan, you are so conscientious, you are already so scheming, and you have to go around when the ghost sees you. Work hard, and be so cautious, you pervert, you still let the unpleasant siege?Do you think you want to force this king to death?
Seeing Yan Yingyuan staring at the turret without saying a word for a long time, Zhi Tingjian couldn't help asking: "Wu Heng, do you have any ideas?"

Yan Yingyuan said thoughtfully: "Although we have stockpiled tens of thousands of catties of kerosene, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for a long time based on this consumption. If there is no accident, our kerosene will definitely be consumed before Jiannu's military rations." So, if we can’t take precautions in advance, we will be in trouble.”

"Ah?" Zhi Tingjian said, "You burned the food and grass of Jiannu twice with fire, so there should be very little left."

"Hey, you can't be so hasty." Yan Yingyuan said, "If you predict the enemy, you should be lenient when you estimate the enemy. What's more, although we have tried our best to clear the walls and clear the field, there will definitely be omissions. Jiannu can still grab as many people as possible. Some, so the first one that can't hold it must be our fire oil."

Zhi Tingjian said solemnly: "Then what should we do?"

Yan Yingyuan stared at the turret and said: "In short, there is no doubt that the turret was demolished by the slaves. In this case, there is no need to do unnecessary repairs. The so-called blockage is worse than sparse. Instead of spending a lot of money to repair the collapsed turret, then Why not just let Jiannu into the city, yes, just let them into the city!"

"Ah?" Zhi Tingjian lost his voice, "Let Jian slaves enter the city?!"

"Yes, simply let Jiannu into the city!" Yan Yingyuan said, "After they are put into the city, they will close the door and beat the dogs!"

"Huh? Put it in the city and beat the dog?" Zhi Tingjian's expression changed immediately, and he said, "You mean?"

"Just as the county lord thinks, build an urn city!" Yan Yingyuan said with a smile, "You Lao County lord led the people to demolish all the houses within [-] steps from the turret."

"The demolished houses will be compensated according to the market price."

"After demolishing the houses, build an urn city."

"This urn city doesn't need to leave a gate, it doesn't need to be too high, and it doesn't need to be built too strong."

After a short pause at this point, Yan Yingyuan said: "Just build a two-foot-high and one-foot-wide earthen wall to enclose the area inside the turret into a closed urn city with a radius of [-] steps. Grain, wheat straw, sulfur, fire and nitrate, etc., once the Jiannu pour in from the gap in the turret, they will attack with fire!"

"Ah? Fire attack again!" Zhi Tingjian was shocked when he heard the words.

……

At this time, Tunqi, He Luohui, and Ashan, the three Gushan Ezhens, as well as more than a dozen Meile Zhangjing and Baya Latuzhangjing from two white flags and Xianglan flags, had gathered in front of Duoduo. We are discussing.

As the commander-in-chief, Doduo has already suffered from hypochondriacs, and the fate of this army can only be decided by nobles like them. This is also the traditional rule of Jianshou.

In fact, it mainly depends on the three solid mountains.

Although He Luohui is a sycophant, he is actually quite capable.

He Luohui said: "The battle of Shanyang City has been fought for the present, and it is absolutely impossible to withdraw. This is not only because of the face of our Eight Banners soldiers, but also has a bearing on the success or failure of the Xuzhou battlefield. If we can't raise Food, what can Xuzhou's army continue to besiege Xuzhou? Can it rely on farming?"

Ah Shan frowned and said, "Even if it's farming, someone has to farm it."

He Luohui said: "So, the battle of Shanyang must continue, and the hundreds of thousands of shi of the Chongzhen army's rations hidden in the Shanyang warehouse must be grabbed. This is not negotiable."

Tun Qi said coldly: "You don't need to talk about it, but the question is how to fight?"

Ah Shan went on to say: "There is another problem. The food we have left can last half a month at most. If we still can't take down Shanyang City within half a month, what will we do then?"

He Luohui and Tun Qi fell silent immediately after hearing the words.

In the end, the picture of Jingshi of Meilezhang, inlaid with a white flag, said: "Otherwise, the army will still stay in Shanyang and continue to attack the city. I will lead the bannermen of Wuniulu to collect food around. I don't believe it. All the grain within a radius of dozens of miles of Shanyang City was collected into the city, and not a single grain was left behind."

He Luohui said decisively: "Success, then you will lead Wu Niulu to collect food, and go now."

"Hey!" Shi Tu got up, knelt down on one knee and slapped Duo Duo a thousand times, then turned and left in a hurry.

He Luohui said again: "Okay, the question now is, how to fight next? My opinion is to continue to demolish the eight turrets. What do you think?"

Tun Qi said coldly: "It's not a problem to demolish it, but our Xianglan Banner has been demolished for six days, and we have paid a heavy price with the death of thousands of bannermen, so it's your two white flags' turn next."

"What are you talking about?" Ah Shan angrily said, "In the Battle of Shanyang, you Xianglan Banners were the only ones who died? Our two white banners killed more people, and seven Niulu were killed in the battle today!"

Tun Qi retorted: "We still died more than two thousand coats."

Ah Shan was furious: "Our two white flags died with more than [-] coats!"

"Okay, what are you guys doing for this? Is it glorious?" He Luohui said angrily, "The battle of Shanyang has been fought so far, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to me, so at this time we must not fight internally anymore, but must We need to work together to get through this, so we might as well take a middle-of-the-road approach.”

"What method?" Ah Shan and Tun Qi asked in unison.

He Luohui said: "The two white flags are responsible for the demolition of six turrets respectively, and the remaining two turrets are demolished by the inlaid blue flag. It is then agreed that which flag will be demolished first, and only that flag will be allowed to be demolished on the first day." Enter and loot!"

"Agreed." Tun Qi said coldly, "We will be responsible for the two turrets by the canal."

After the discussion, the three flags continued to carry out demolition.

While demolishing, continue to raise the earth platform for cover.

……

The brutal demolition continued for another six days.

Both the two white flags and the bordered blue flags paid a high price, and the Ming army Xiangyong also suffered a lot of casualties. What's worse, all the fuel for the fierce fire has been used up.

Now I can only be forced to use straw balls, straw balls and ten thousand enemies.

But the killing effect is much worse than that of fierce fire oil, so the speed of demolition is obviously accelerated.

In the twinkling of an eye, the time came to March [-]th. At dusk, Jiannu finally withdrew to the camp and dragged the chariot back. The Ming army Xiangyong who was standing on the turret sat slumped on the ground.

The Battle of Shanjiu has been going on for half a month now.

The number of dead and wounded Xiangyong has exceeded [-].

As the number of personnel decreases, the load of each villager will increase accordingly.

So after a day of fierce fighting, Xiangyong who was guarding the top of the city felt first-class collapsed.

Yan Yingyuan was also very tired, but he couldn't sit down and rest. He had to collect the body of the fallen Xiangyong, settle the wounded Xiangyong, and check and replenish various supplies for the defense of the city.

When checking to the southeast corner building, I happened to meet Zhi Tingjian.

"County Honor?" Yan Yingyuan said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Puheng, what do you see over there?" Zhi Tingjian pointed to the side of the guide.

Yan Yingyuan looked in the direction of Zhi Tingjian's finger, and his expression froze. The thing he was most worried about happened after all. Jiannu sent his teachers to loot the surrounding villages and towns after all.

Judging from the ruts left by the carriage when it ran over the ground, it was clear that Jiannu had returned with a full load.

"Puheng, I counted them just now, and there are more than two hundred and forty carriages in total." Zhi Ting remonstrated, "If one cart holds seven shi, that's [-] shi of grain, which is enough to feed the slave army for three days. And more than enough."

After a pause, he said again: "So I don't understand, where did the food come from?"

"The magistrate really doesn't know?" Yan Yingyuan was clearly prepared for this.

"How does this county know?" Zhi Tingjian guessed that he really didn't know, he shook his head and said, "Do you know, Wuheng?"

"I know a thing or two." Yan Yingyuan said sarcastically, "It's nothing more than those gentry clans who can't trust the court and are unwilling to transport all the grain to Fucheng. Instead, they look for places to hide, but they are found by Jiannu."

"These people should be damned." Zhi Tingjian stomped his feet and said, "They are the enemy, the enemy!"

Yan Yingyuan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, it is meaningless to say these things now. Instead of complaining here, we should prepare as many fire starters as possible, and give Jiannu a head-on blow at the turret that is about to collapse!"

"Oh, yes." Zhi Tingjian Rumeng Fangxing said, "Now is really not the time to settle accounts with these people."

Watching Zhi Tingjian leave, Yan Yingyuan thought, not only is it not the time to settle accounts, even if Shanyang has been defended, even if the Huanghuai line of defense has been completely defended, it is not the time to settle accounts.

The Holy Majesty's national policy is to rely heavily on the gentry clans in the south of the Yangtze River.

But in the long run, these people will be liquidated sooner or later.

Yan Yingyuan not only had a lot of wit and tactics in battle, but also had a unique vision in terms of political opinions. He had even seen Chongzhen's future governance strategy, which he could see from the original Chongzhen's edict to seek captives.
