Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 290
"Your Majesty, there is only a letter from Mr. Lin, the prefect of Xizhou, and it is still uncertain. If there is an intelligence error over there, we will send troops to rescue us instead, which will be bad. This matter must be resolved. Only after it is confirmed, the imperial court can send troops." Minister of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said.

"It's absurd, it needs to be confirmed. How to prove it? Is it necessary to send someone to investigate again? If that's the case, Xizhou will be captured soon?" Mingyu was a little anxious, so his tone was not very good.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. This is our rule. We don't need to send people to investigate. Xizhou is under the jurisdiction of Longzhou. If you want to come to the prefect of Longzhou, there will be a memorial to Beijing in the near future. When the time comes, we will let you know You can understand everything. In the past few days, we can dispatch troops and generals first, and after confirming that Bei Yuan dispatched troops, we can send troops to the north and have a good fight with Bei Yuan Kingdom." The Minister of the Ministry of War smiled. , and then explained it to Mingyu. "Furthermore, there are 5 people stationed in Hanzhou. If Bei Yuan soldiers really invade, General Mo will send troops directly. The prince can rest assured."

After Ming Yu heard this, he controlled his emotions slightly, "But, who knows when the prefect of Longzhou will be able to send the memorial to Beijing?" "Besides, this Mo Hongfan refused to be stationed in Xizhou at the beginning. This time, I don't know if he can send troops in time. If there is a delay, Xizhou will be in danger."

The emperor pondered for a while, and then said, "It's a matter of great importance to the court. Mo Hongfan dared not to rescue him after thinking about it. Let's wait for a while, and when the memorial from the prefect of Longzhou arrives, we should know how to arrange it." The court dispatched troops , It is indeed not too hasty.

Everyone discussed together for a while, and they had already thought about where to transfer troops.If Beiyuan really invaded Xizhou, it would definitely not be as simple as 3 people, and a large number of troops would definitely pass by in the future.So the imperial court has to make good preparations.

In the end, it was agreed that 5 soldiers would be transferred from Gyeonggi, and another 5 soldiers would be transferred from Shencheng. If the [-] soldiers from Hanzhou were added, even if Bei Yuan continued to increase troops, it would be enough to resist.For the army to go out, there must be sufficient preparations for food, grass, luggage and other things, so in the past few days, these things should be prepared first. Once confirmed, the army will set off immediately.

The people discussed it until it was dark, and then they had a clue. The emperor saw that it was getting late, so he left these people to eat in the palace.Mingyu had the situation of Changshun and the others in mind, so he bid farewell to the emperor and went back to his residence.

Back at the mansion, the doctor came, "My lord, there is nothing serious about these three people. It's just that they were too tired all the way, and they couldn't eat well. They fainted after being tired and hungry. Let them rest for a few days. Then eat something and you'll be fine."

Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief after listening, "I'm sorry."

Someone here sent the doctor away, and then Mingyu returned to Jingxian's room, and told Jingxian about these things.

"My lord, if Bei Yuan really comes to commit an offense this time, I'm afraid he won't let it go easily. Has your lord thought about leading troops to fight by himself?" Jing Xian asked Ming Yu.

"I think so too, but I'm a bit reluctant to part with you and the children. Let me think about it first." Ming Yu really wanted to lead the army.Now the Northwest Army is in the hands of the Mo family, and 5 people in the Northeast are also in the hands of the Mo family.If this situation is allowed to continue, it will not be a good thing for the court.

"Why think about it again? Just let the prince lead the army. Jingxian is a woman, she can't raise her sword and defend the country immediately, can't she take care of the palace? Just rest assured, the prince." Daughter put down, the little guy has fallen asleep.

"Since the concubine said so, it's fine for my brother to say it tomorrow. The brother has always treated me like a brother, and has never been indifferent. It's time for me to share my worries for the brother." Ming Yu stepped forward and kissed Daughter's forehead, and then smiled. "This little thing, besides eating and sleeping, is easy to coax."

On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty began to attack the city.This time a total of 10 people came, and the four city gates attacked together.I saw that the people under the city were all dark and crowded, rushing towards the city gate like a tide.

On the city wall, all the guards cheered up and looked at the Beiyuan army below the city.When those people entered the range of the attack, all the trebuchets that had been made on the city wall in the past few days were loaded with bombs.Someone ignited the fuse with a torch and fired the bomb.

These dark jars flew through the air and landed right into the crowd.Just as it was about to hit the ground, it exploded with a bang.Immediately, countless people were injured by the bomb, and some of them were even blown off a certain part of their bodies at once.The attacking team immediately became confused. The soldiers who had never seen such a strange thing were all frightened and stood there, not daring to charge forward.

The sound of explosions one after another resounded among the army of Beiyuan Kingdom.For a moment, blood and flesh flew across the front line, many people died directly, and the rest were also seriously injured.

Seeing the situation ahead on horseback, Ede couldn't help turning pale.He never dreamed that this attack would encounter such a strange thing.Although those soldiers holding shields could resist bows and spears, they couldn't resist the impact of the explosion.As for the archers of our own side, they still can't play a role at this time. The range of bows and arrows is not so far, and they can't interfere with the actions on the city wall.

Yide was a little reconciled, and he shouted loudly, "Keep running, no one is allowed to back off, and rush over. As long as you can get in, that thing won't work. Even if you use people to fill it, you have to rush until the archer can reach it." The location of the attack."

In front of the two armies, the commander's order is a military order. Even if they know that they are going to die, these soldiers must rush forward.

On the city wall, dozens of trebuchets were all loaded with bombs, and then the second batch of ignited bombs were thrown down.The result was naturally predictable. The soldiers below were blown away again.

The Northern Yuan soldiers below were a little bit red-eyed. They rushed forward recklessly, shield hands covering the archers, and approached the city wall little by little.Gradually, the archer's bow and arrow can do its job.

But at this time, the trebuchets on the city could not drop the bombs in a convenient place.Seeing the situation, Ziwen hurriedly shouted, "The trebuchets are separated, and one group moves back two feet. When throwing, the strength is slightly weaker. The second ancestor is still the same as before, so don't be negligent."

With such layered throwing, the archers below will suffer, and many of them will be killed in an instant.

Yide saw the situation and knew that such a siege might not work.Unless he really made up his mind and used people to fill it up, but the ones in front of him were all his personal guards who had gone through life and death with him, so how could he be willing to let them go to death like this. "Mingjin, withdraw troops."

A burst of gongs sounded, and all the Beiyuan soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually retreated back.

In this siege, the soldiers of the Beiyuan Kingdom lost nearly 8000 soldiers, and many of them were seriously injured, some of them were directly disabled.When Yide saw this situation, he was really furious, but there was nothing he could do.He had to order the army to rest and make every effort to treat the wounded soldiers.

And on the city wall at this moment, some soldiers of Daqi were also injured by bows and arrows. This is how wars are, and it is impossible that there is no damage at all.However, compared with the loss of the Beiyuan Kingdom below, this small injury is almost like two mosquito bites.

"Hurry up and bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers. In the current situation, we have nothing to lose." Zixuan said quickly after seeing the situation.There are a total of about [-] people available in the city, and there are four gates to be guarded, and the stability of the city must be maintained. This manpower is really too small.That's why Zixuan was a little anxious, "Is there any way to increase the lethality of the bomb?"

"Brother, what else do you want? We only suffered minor injuries to dozens of people. Look at the following, how many people would have died. You can be content. If it weren't for sister-in-law, how could we go this time?" Guard this city." Ziwen said a little dumbfounded when he heard Zixuan's words.

Zixuan's eyes lit up, "By the way, your sister-in-law, maybe she will have a solution." After saying that, Zixuan hurried home.

Jing Han was also worried at home.There were explosions outside one after another, Xiao Qingning was a little frightened, and kept crying.Jinghan had no choice but to hold the child in her arms and keep coaxing her.

"Ma'am, Miss, this is not an option. Do you need some medicine for Miss?" Chuncao asked from the side.

"My aunt prescribed some anti-shock medicine a while ago. Get some and I'll feed her. The child must have been frightened." Jing Han had no other choice but to nod.

So the master and servant quickly got some medicine powder, dissolved it in water, and then fed Qingning to drink it.Fortunately, this kid Qing Ning is not too picky about anything, the medicine is terribly bitter, but the little guy drank it all without blinking an eye.After drinking the medicine, the sounds outside gradually stopped, and Jinghan coaxed the child for a while before he fell asleep.

At this time Zixuan came in from the outside, "Jinghan, can you help me find a way to make the bomb more powerful?" Zixuan said as soon as he entered the room.

Jinghan put her index finger on her lips and made a quiet gesture.Then he said softly, "Hush down, the child just fell asleep. The little guy is a little scared."

Zixuan walked up to his wife and looked at the little daughter in Jinghan's arms, his heart suddenly softened. "Oh, the child is suffering." Xiao Qingning's nose and mouth corners were a little blue, and she was really frightened. "A few days ago, you should have sent your mother and daughter away, so as not to let the children suffer along with them."
