The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

After the Jin army fled in confusion, Haizhou City, the Ming army is a jubilant.

Before that, hundreds of elite Tartars who rushed to the head of the city had already been attacked and killed by the Ming army.

The soldiers stripped off their clothes and armor, seized their weapons, cut off their heads, and threw their bodies into the burning fire in the moat, adding fuel to the fire.

At this time, even though the fire in the city was gradually extinguished, the fire still began to burn.

"Ha ha! Yuanqing, happy, so happy! It's good that you kept your hand. Otherwise, we'll have a dog Tartar's way this time! "

This wave of surprise attack in the later Jin Dynasty is invalid, and the overall situation has been decided.

There is no sign that the heavy rain will stop at all in this weather, and I don't know when it will last.

The land under their feet was already very muddy. The later Jin army could not say that it was tonight. Even tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it would be difficult for them to organize an effective offensive.

Otherwise, the city will be attacked by force against such muddy land. Once the heavy rain stops, or the heavy rain does not stop, as long as the Ming army builds rain proof works on the head of the city, they will become the living targets of the soldiers of the Ming army.

At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong came to the gate tower to wipe their bodies and change into clean clothes.

At this time, Chen Zhong took a cloth to wipe the water stains on his body. He laughed and said to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, this fire oil is really a treasure. What the hell is going on here? In such a heavy rain, they can still burn so much? "

After drying his body, Li Yuanqing put on a soldier's cloth robe, sat on the simple bedding beside him, and said with a smile, "elder brother, people often say that water and fire are not allowed. It is true that water can extinguish fires, but in many cases, the two are not incompatible. It's a long story. Let's have a drink and talk when we have time. It's just a pity. These precious kerosene should have played a greater role. But these Tartars are forcing me to use them tonight

Chen Zhong also responded and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, are these kerosene cheap tonight?"

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "almost eight thousand taels of silver. Fortunately, we have more than 200 Tartars in the first place. With these weapons and armor, it's not too bad. "

These kerosene were purchased by Li Yuanqing from Denglai. At the beginning, it was still cheap. However, with the increasing demand, these profiteers in Laizhou raised the price more and more. Fortunately, Yuan Keli helped Li Yuanqing a lot and left three good mines for him.

Next, the cost of Changsheng camp to obtain kerosene was reduced by more than half, and the production cost was basically negligible. Only the freight and packaging cost some silver.

However, Li Yuanqing also found the disadvantages of the fire oil offensive.

The main reason is that the purification of the kerosene is not clean enough, and there are still too many impurities, which leads to the weak combustion power. Otherwise, if it can meet the standards of later generations of gasoline, the incendiary bomb can even be used as a bomb directly. In normal weather, the post Jin army has no chance to resist.

"Hehe. As long as we can win, what is a little silver? Yuanqing, the old rule, we are half of each other. By the way, Yuanqing. Let's scare the Tartars back this time. Next, things will be difficult to handle. We can't afford to be stuck in the city

Li Yuanqing just wanted to say, "what's the value of this silver?" but he was attracted by Chen Zhong's topic and nodded slowly.

Chen Zhong's question is not only a problem of Changsheng camp and Chen Zhongbu, but also of the whole Ming army.

At this time, if we talk about guarding the city, as long as there is enough food, grass and ammunition, Li Yuanqing will not lose a cent of the later Jin army, even if the old slaves come in person?

But once in the field, there are too many variables.

Even for Changsheng camp, if it wants to fight with the main force of the later Jin army, it must maintain its formation at all times. Moreover, it must be assisted by a large number of chariots and be on high alert at any time.

But even so, Li Yuanqing did not have enough assurance.

Because the impact of cavalry is too much.

As the real king on the land of this era, even if Li Yuanqing has the advantage of foresight, without the escort of the equivalent mobile force, Li Yuanqing will never dare to rush.

Otherwise, once the gap is broken by cavalry, the consequences will be disastrous.

Not to mention, there are so many Han slaves and women in Shanghai.

"Brother, don't worry too much about it. If we don't have enough food and grass, the later Jin army may not be rich. How can living people be suffocated by urine? Hold on, we'll have a good chance

………

After a short rest, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong came to the head of the city to command the battle situation and strengthen the deployment.

At this time, it was almost three or four o'clock in the morning. The heavy rain had been reduced a lot, but still did not stop.

Officers and soldiers began to use animal skins and oilcloth to build simple sheds on the head of the city.Before that, Li Yuanqing actually wanted to build sheds on the city's head, mainly to protect the soldiers from heatstroke.

But this project is not small after all.

On the one hand, it costs a lot of materials and manpower. On the other hand, sheds were built on the top of the city. If the later Jin army attacked the city, the long spearmen and the sword shield soldiers would be tied up, and there was not enough room for them to play.

but at this time, the weather changes, Li Yuanqing can only choose to fight against the heavens first.

However, just after the bloody battle, Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect the disinfection work.

More than 100 soldiers carried bags containing quicklime and sprinkled a large amount of quicklime on every corner of the city, even in the moat.

The main reason is that the fulcrum of the later Jin army had blocked the flow of the moat. In addition, so many headless Tartars were thrown into the moat. It would be impossible to sterilize them.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the soldiers from catching a cold in the rain, Li Yuanqing made the firemen boil hundreds of pots inside the inner wall and added a large amount of ginger broth to dispel the cold and enhance the soldiers' immunity.

When the work was almost busy, it was already daybreak, and Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also came.

As a matter of fact, they heard the news last night, but Li Yuanqing told them very well before. In case of any change, they had better stay still and wait for rescue.

After all, because of their identity, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can never leave them alone.

But once they run like headless flies, no one can guarantee their safety.

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang inspected the situation briefly at the head of the city and reported to them the results of last night's battle. They were both overjoyed.

In the open space under the city, Wei Liang personally ordered the first level of Tartars with more than 200 grades, which had been wrapped in quicklime. He said with a straight smile: "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, this is a good feeling. This is a good start!"

Zhang Qiliang also said with a smile: "that's right. I'm afraid eight Chengdu is the head of a real slave. Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, this is another great achievement of you two

Li Yuanqing light smile, "Zhang Gonggong, this is a great achievement of us."

Zhang Qiliang also responded to this. He was busy and said with a smile: "that's right. It's our great achievement. It's our great achievement. Hey, hey, hey... "

Chen Zhong was also in a good mood and said to them with a smile: "two father-in-law, this morning, I'm going to trouble you two to be on duty for a while longer. Yuanqing and I have been tired all night, so we should have a rest."

"That's nature, that's nature." They nodded quickly.

After arranging everything, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong went back to have a rest.

………

Back in the official hall, it's almost seven o'clock.

The sky is still gloomy, and the drizzle still has no sign to stop. The streets in the city are washed clean. The grass and moss on the street have more vigorous vitality, and the air is also very refreshing.

Breathing the moist air mixed with the smell of soil and grass, Li Yuanqing could not help feeling relaxed.

The land under our feet is the most beautiful land in the world.

How can these barbarians be allowed to rage here with the inheritance of 5000 years of civilization?

Although there was no accurate information, Li Yuanqing had a clear premonition that the old slaves and the main force of the later Jin army were not as abundant as they thought.

At this point, they should be more anxious than their own.

This will be our best chance!

"Sir, are you back?"

Seeing Li Yuanqing walking into the courtyard, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong are all very happy, so they come to meet him with a smile.

Although they have been informed of the victory of the army, they are more reassuring than Li Yuanqing's safe return.

Li Yuanqing held two girls with a smile, "last night, you didn't sleep well?"

Liu Qiao said with a smile: "my Lord, you can take us to fight next time. You can wait on us

Shu Murong also asked, "maybe I can help you kill an enemy. My archery is very accurate

Li Yuanqing smiles, "fighting is a man's business. At this time, no more than before, you should not be involved. Qiaoer, are you ready for breakfast

Liu Qiao said with a smile, "master, your servant will go to prepare for you immediately."

Looking at Liu Qiao's triumphant departure, Shu Murong leads Li Yuanqing to the soft couch in the room and kneads his shoulders for Li Yuanqing.

Smelling the familiar aroma around him, Li Yuanqing's mind gradually relaxed a lot.

If you want to grasp the present glory and wealth, you can only stand higher and go further, and firmly hold your own destiny in your own hands.

Today, it's a little cold every day. Shu Murong wears a slightly thick cloth skirt. Li Yuanqing fumbles for a long time before reaching into her clothes.

After a while, Shu Murong's pretty face was already full of blush, and she seemed to drip water. She gathered in Li Yuanqing's ear and whispered, "Sir, let your maid serve you?"Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "aren't you afraid to be seen by qiao'er?"

Shu Murong's delicate body was almost tired of Li Yuanqing's body, and her red lips pressed tightly against Li Yuanqing's earlobe and said, "my Lord, your servant is not as good a servant as that Fox flatterer. I can only serve you well in this respect."

She said, and then lowered her voice and said, "yes, the rockery in the backyard is good. I'd like to accompany you to see the scenery there..."

There is a rockery in Li Yuanqing's house, which is the place where Li Yuanqing often lingers.

However, because Shu Murong gave birth to a daughter and Li Yuanqing was busy outside most of the time, it was very difficult for her to rank her number when she returned to her house. Li Yuanqing occasionally went to her yard, but it would be very late, so there was no time to experience the rockery.

At this time, seeing that Li Yuanqing was not very interested, Shu Murong quickly used the "killer's mace.".

Li Yuanqing can't help laughing. Shu Murong, a little girl, really knows what men mean. Although she is far away from Liu Qiao in the details of her life, Liu Qiao is no longer her rival in these interests.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile. Having been in Haizhou for so many days, I didn't take a good look at the scenery here. It's a nice day today. Let's go and have a look. "

Shu Murong could not help being overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Sir, wait a moment. Your maid will go and get the umbrella."

Looking at Shu Murong becoming more and more charming and plump, Li Yuanqing's mouth, can not help showing a trace of unspeakable smile.
