When the morning sun rose again, Qi Fei, the leaders of the eight families, and Gao Yingxiang stood on one of the best peaks in the east of the city, observing their final prey, Pinglu.
Pinglu, who seems to be easy to defend and difficult to defend, standing here makes everyone take a deep breath, in fact, everyone is fooled by Pinglu's honest name.
From the point of view of the attacker, the city wall of Pinglu County is complete and tall, the outside of the city is surrounded by intermittent and staggered ditches like three small oblique passes, the south is bordered by the Yellow River, the large army can not be used at all, the branch of the Yellow River in the Shajian of the East Forest King, and Lu Hanqiang has established a large-scale ferry in this branch, the most infuriating thing is that on the west bank of this branch, a strict military barrier has been established, and the distance between the two places is simply close to the horse race can be reached in just an hour, which is simply a sister city.
All that remains is the west and north sides, which gives the defenders the ability to deal with both sides.
Difficulties are difficulties, but the wealth of Pinglu did make all the observers take a deep breath and let out a heartfelt cheer.
Just in Chaoyang, Pinglu County did not see the decadent dilapidation of the general county town, the houses were neat and regular, and the flags and sails of countless shops along the street were simply dazzling, especially at this time, the chimneys of every house were smoking, which showed that everyone was starting to make breakfast.
This alone is different, not to mention the completely dilapidated Shaanxi, that is, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there can be a few counties and a place called rich in the early morning where every household can cook smoke, and half of the houses can rise when cooking, which can be shown off and boasted, where is such a scene Look at the Wangshajian ferry again, at this time, not only the new area has been covered with smoke, but the countless big boats staying in the ferry make people greedy, those big boats almost cover the entire river, and at this time, although the allies are approaching, but under the protection of the military fortress on the west bank, there are still big ships with a deep draft to the Yellow River, as soon as they get out of the dock and enter the Yellow River, or go south, or pull up the sails and go upriver against the south bank of the Yellow River, the sacks stacked on top of the mountain show that Lu Hanqiang is about to come when the big war is coming, They are still going out to get food, and these ships are going upstream, directly going to Yuncheng and the north of Shanxi.
And every time a boat goes, there will be grain ships that have long been moored on the Yellow River and cannot enter the wharf, under the guidance of small boats, unhurriedly approaching the wharf, and then countless coolies immediately board the ship and begin to talk about various materials in an orderly manner, mainly grain unloaded into the factory warehouse.
"That's a lot of food."
A tiger couldn't help but moan.
Qi Fei replied softly: "Just look at this period of time, there are at least no less than 50,000 stone loading and unloading, how many do you say he can have in a day?"
All the people took a hard breath together, and a tiger lamented: "My mother, it's just a morning, it's 50,000 stone of grain for such a period of time, I am working hard in the cottage, I have never seen so much food in my life, this time it is not in vain, this time it is developed." ” All the poles emitted the same sentiment together.
This is what Qi Fei wants, only in this way can everyone risk their lives to continue fighting.
"However, don't be optimistic, this time the battle of Xiaoxieguan took us five days, so that our grain and grass were almost exhausted, and into Pinglu, we did not get replenishment at all, I tell you, three days, we only have three days of grain and grass, take the county, we eat and drink spicy, can not take the county, we can only sit and wait, this time we are fighting against the water, everyone must fight bravely, I still have that promise, according to the original number of people in the alliance to divide the money and food, I will never break my word, the pension for the war will be doubled."
When Qi Fei said this, of course, he directly ignored the three pole allies who were already missing, they wanted to get a share of the spoils, but everyone was dead, and it was not counted where there were still people to collect the dead.
Then he turned his head to look at Gao Yingxiang, "How many livestock have you collected this time?"
Gao Yingxiang stepped forward tiredly and said in a deep voice: "Qiqi Great Alliance Leader, this time I scattered people and horses, and I didn't sleep all day and night, but I only collected less than three thousand, I didn't expect their strong walls to be so thorough. ” Qi Fei couldn't help frowning, but after thinking about it, he said: This is what I should have thought of, after all, we wasted five days in Xiaoxieguan, but it doesn't matter, with these three thousand, I can use them to charge the battle and cooperate with us to fill the trench.
As soon as it was said that the ditch Qi Fei's heart was blocked, this absolutely damaged trench appeared again here after the first appearance of the small oblique pass, not only longer than the small oblique pass, but also one more layer, that is, to fill these trenches to open the way for the charge, it will take countless manpower time, time, is the key that both sides are fighting for.
"Okay, everyone has also seen the battlefield situation, I decided."
Then he glanced at his teammates majestically, "The whole army takes the north gate of Pinglu as the main direction of attack, and the west gate sends a thousand brothers to contain it."
Then he looked at Gao Yingxiang, who was hard but did not fight hard: King Gao Chuang, I will send you between Pinglu and Dukou this time, and you can't let a single soldier in the Dukou New Area appear behind the flank of my attacking army under any circumstances, affecting the rhythm of our attack.
Gao Yingxiang's bloodshot eyes were cold, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, the leader of the Great Alliance, if a soldier misses in the direction of the ferry, I, Gao Yingxiang, am willing to serve it with my head." ” "Okay, that's it, now let's get ready to attack."
But back in the camp, Qi Fei still discussed with Gao Yingxiang, who is now relying on him, and a few good brothers: "This time we came to Pinglu, we didn't stop along the way, so there was no time to prepare for the grain and grass. ” In fact, the word grain is a common word in the peasant army and the official army in the late Ming Dynasty, the meaning is simple and easy to understand, the task is to be rich and oily, originally everyone will be enthusiastic about this matter, but this time is different from the past, seeing the rich Pinglu, in the face of their own 30,000 troops, no one wants to leave a little half, in case it is in this half moment, capture the county, then the first-hand looting will have no chance for themselves.
At this time, no one wants to leave half a step.
Gao Yingxiang expressed his sincere admiration for Qi Fei's steady approach, in this world, how can there really be a desperate way to do things and reserve a back hand.
Qi Fei turned his head again, looked at the pole leader behind him, and said to the mountain tiger, "Big boss, you have three thousand brothers, this time the task of going out to collect food for the army will be handed over to you, you must get enough food and grass for the army."
Looking at the reluctant Xiashan Tiger, Qi Fei's face sank, and he said sharply: "This is a military order, do you want to take it?"
Seeing Qi Fei's little white face suddenly turned blue, the Xiashan Tiger immediately trembled in his heart, Xiao Xieguan, a guy who looked weak, cut people up, that is, he didn't blink his eyes, he didn't need to touch this moldy head, so he reluctantly gave a salute: "I'll take this job." ” t1706231537:
