This night, Li Jinglong was even more frightened than Xia Xun.
Li Jinglong led the army to the city of Beiping, set up camp, surrounded a Beiping city to the point of impassability, built fortifications outside the nine gates, siege vehicles, ladders, moats, artillery, stone throwers, all kinds of siege equipment emerged in endlessly, in terms of tactics, such as digging holes, sprinkling leaflets, and burning the city wall with fire, hoping to burn the city wall down and crack it, in short, all kinds of siege methods that the Ming army was familiar with were all used in Beiping City.
However, under the careful deployment of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Beiping City had deep ditches and high bases, thickened city walls, and the artillery in the early Ming Dynasty was not sharp enough, and the 500,000 Ming army was helpless to defend the city for a while.
Of course, in fact, the most important factor is still people.
The defenders in the city of Beiping are limited, and the heart of death is very strong, and King Yan is a virtuous king in Beiping, which is very popular and highly respected.
In particular, Daoyan and other Buddhist monks were very successful in brainwashing the religious brainwashing of the people, and women and children were sent to the city to defend themselves to help the Yan soldiers resist the enemy, which greatly made up for the lack of strength of the defenders.
Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of King Yan, went out to fight with his father, Zhu Gaochi, the third son Zhu Gaosui and his mother were guarding the city, Princess Yan was fully clothed, and he was guarding the city with arrows and stones.
He often went to the top of the city to direct the battle with his mother, and even picked up a boulder and threw it off the city.
The princess and the prince can do this part, which is a great encouragement to the morale of the army and even the people.
Despite this, the Ming army not only has a large number of people, but also professional soldiers, which is incomparable to the people who have not had military training in the city of Beiping, but the Ming army of 500,000 people, from different factions, different regions, the generals have a bit of a mountain idea, and the soldiers also have some meaning of comparison, Li Jinglong, the commander of the three armies, is in a hurry to take care of one or the other in command, so they originally had several opportunities to break the city, but they were all missed by themselves.
For example, the Ming army that attacked the main gate of Li in Beiping once broke through the city gate, and the Yu Yan army launched hand-to-hand combat in the urn city area within the city gate.
No matter how impregnable Beiping City is, as long as a gateway is breached, it will be easy for the whole city to fall.
However, what is amazing is that such a good fighter plane was actually let go by Li Jinglong in vain, I really don't know what this rebellious general who was standing on the top of the watchtower at the time and condescendingly saw everything clearly was thinking, he didn't send the reserves at the first time.
This is a fact recorded in history, and we have no way of knowing why Li Jinglong reacted so slowly.
It's just that, just because the reserves were not sent in time, Princess Yan and Shizi led the reinforcements to the Li main gate in time, the big fat man Zhu Gaoxu held a knife in one hand and a stick in the other, and sweated and commanded the death squad to counterattack, and the Ming army that broke through the Li main gate saw that the Yan army was desperate to counterattack, and the reinforcements were delayed, so they retreated.
At this time, Princess Yan led a group of women, children and children to throw bricks and stones from the city to prevent the Ming army from continuing to increase troops.
A perfect opportunity that should have changed the entire history floated by like a floating cloud in front of Li Jinglong, who didn't look like a pig at all, but was actually a real pig.
At the same time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was not idle, he asked his second son Zhu Gaoxu to lead a light cavalry to sabotage the supply lines of the Ming army, burn the grain and grass of the Ming army, and led the main force to attack the Ming army from time to time.
On the night when Xia Xun and Saihazhi stayed at the house of Wu Enqi of the Batlun tribe, the prince of Yan led the army, with Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng as the left and right troops, and attacked the military camp of the governor Qu Neng at night.
This camp is the Chinese army camp of Li Jinglong, the commander of the three armies, the Ming army death squad dared to fight and kill, and went straight to the Chinese army camp, among which there was a monk with a bald head and big sleeves and a dark monk's robe, which was like a demon King Kong, seemingly tall and thin, killing in and out of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, but like a tiger, Li Jinglong was shocked, for fear that he would make a mistake in the chaos, and immediately ordered a retreat.
The officers and soldiers of the rest of the battalions did not know why, and suddenly saw the battalion of the commander of the Chinese army retreat suddenly, and the three armies were shaken for a while, and they retreated one after another.
Li Jinglong was frightened by this, and resolutely refused to camp under the city of Beiping, this benevolent brother led the Chinese army to be stationed in Zhengcunba, which was more than ten miles away from Beiping, and commanded the offensive and defensive battles in Beiping by remote control In this case, Xia Xun and Saihazhi found King Yan's military camp.
When they arrived at King Yan's camp, King Yan was instructing his subordinates to take the opportunity: "You go, tell Gao Xu, temporarily stop the attack on the supply of the Ming army, and let them transport the military rations and weapons over." ” As he was talking, he suddenly saw that Xia Xun and Saihazhi had arrived in front of him, Zhu Di was surprised and delighted, hurriedly stepped forward, and hurriedly asked: "Wenxuan, what is the result of the trip outside the Guan?"
Xia Xun clasped his fists and saluted: "Congratulations to Your Highness, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored" "What" Yan Wang Zhu Di was so surprised that his voice trembled: "Succeeded, Wen Xuan really persuaded the seventeenth brother" Xia Xun said: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Ning has promised to give everything he has to help His Highness to calm the trouble, but at present, King Ning still has a catastrophe, and His Royal Highness needs to relieve him from the siege." ” Xia Xun signaled slightly, King Yan hurriedly retreated left and right, Xia Xun and Sai Hazhi reported to him secretly for a long time, Zhu Di laughed: "What's the matter, I will kill outside the Guan, save the seventeenth brother out, as long as I can get the elite iron cavalry of Taining, Duoyan, and Fuyu Sanwei, and then get the 80,000 elite divisions outside the Guan, Jiujiang Xiao'er is so afraid." ” Xia Xun asked: "Fang Caichen listened to His Highness's orders, don't let the second prince continue to attack and harass the enemy's supplies, why is this?"
King Yan smiled and waved his hand and said: "What about this king's fish, the line is too tight and the fish will escape, now the weather is not cold enough, and the southern army cannot realize that the grain, grass and military clothes are a big problem, we have to keep them, and wait until the cold winter comes, and then pinch off all the supply lines, so that his 500,000 army has no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground."
Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't wait to say: "Don't care about him here, tell me quickly, how do you and the seventeenth brother make a living, and how will this king send troops to relieve him from the siege."
Zhu Di is missing.
Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, learned from the pain, and transferred a few people to encircle and suppress the army of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, so that he would constantly pull his hind legs on the side, but as soon as the army was sent out, Zhu Di suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Two days later, news came that near Yongping, traces of King Yan were found, and Yongping was once again in the hands of the imperial army.
Li Jinglong was taken aback, and hurriedly gathered the generals to hurriedly discuss, afraid that King Yan would reuse his old tricks and recapture Yongping, so he divided his troops all the way to aid Yongping, and notified Yang Wen, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to be on full alert to prevent King Yan from sneaking up on Shanhaiguan.
The enemy who can't be found is the most terrible enemy, Li Jinglong didn't know where the king of Yan was fighting, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, while sending a probe horse to find out the news of the king of Yan, and on the other hand, he transferred two guards and horses from the siege force to strengthen the defense of Zhengcunba where he was located, at this time, the army of the king of Yan had bypassed the Songting Pass and was about to arrive at Liujiakou.
Liujiakou, Liu Kuigang, the general of the general flag officer, sent a guard to Funing County for him, Funing County is in the Qinhuangdao area, his home is now located there, the family brought a letter, saying that his son was seriously ill, and it had been half a month since the doctor asked for medicine, and he was not very good, Liu Kui was worried, so he took some money and made a personal soldier go home to see.
After sending away his own soldiers, Liu Kui returned to his residence sullenly, and saw that the old family in the town outside the pass was waiting there, Liu Kui said impatiently: "Isn't the monthly case already given to you, what are you going to do?"
The old butler nodded and smiled, leaned in front of him, and said very mysteriously: "Master, that young lady is here again, I want to see you." ” "Hmm" Liu Kui was stunned, slightly surprised, although Sha Ning always has the opportunity to come over a few times a year, but it is the first time that the interval is so short, he doesn't know how Sha Ning came so often this time, he wants to ask, but this old family only knows that he is in the golden house, and the extremely beautiful little lady is not his wife, and he doesn't know anything else, and he can't ask if he wants to.
Liu Kui thought for a moment before saying, "You go back and wait for Miss Hao first, and I'll arrange the affairs of the close." ” "Yes, yes, yes" The old steward walked away with a smile, he usually guarded the empty house, and there was nothing to fish, so he often rented out the house to the past guests as an inn, but every time this unknown young lady lived here, the old man was much more generous, and the young lady's reward was also very generous, standing in his position, I wish that the young lady lived here all year round.
Liu Kui's father was originally just a slave captured by the Duoyan tribe, and Liu Kui's status was not high, it can be said that it was thanks to Shaning that he had today, he had a family and a business and became an official.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, Vice President Wang vaguely knew that Lord Zongqi had set up a house in the town and raised an outer room, and when he heard that he was going to live in the town for two days, Wang Yan smiled and agreed to come down.
Liu Kui changed into civilian clothes, and did not bring any guards, so he hurried to the town along the path that he was accustomed to walking in the mountains To be continued:
