The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

On the wharf, there were no ships to dock. Before that, Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu had moved all the boats to the other side of the river.

Li Yuanqing vomited a long breath.

Even if you can get through the tunnel leading to the river, you can't get to the other side without a boat. In front of the cavalry of the later Jin army, the soldiers are still like pigs and sheep and can only be slaughtered mercilessly.

If so, it's better to stay in Zhenjiang City and fight the last Jin army to the end. If you kill one, you can earn one.

Li Yuanqing's eyes became more gloomy.

Mao Wenlong's insistence, in fact, has brought the maowenlong division of the Guangning army in Zhenjiang into a dead end, and there is almost no possibility of rescue.

However, with the experience of escaping from Shenyang City, Li Yuanqing always firmly believes that the post Jin army is also a human being, not a fairy. Even if they take full initiative, there will be flaws in some details, and these flaws are Li Yuanqing's escape opportunity.

At this time, Xu Heizi suddenly said in a low voice: "my Lord, I see the terrain here. It's not impossible to hit a tunnel."

Li Yuan Qing a Leng, turned to see Xu sunspot one eye.

Xu Heizi winked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing, meeting his will, waved his hand to show more than a dozen soldiers to step back. With only Shang Laoliu, he came to Xu Heizi's side.

Xu Heizi said carefully: "my Lord, although there are beaches and marshes here, the roadbed of the official road is very solid. We can start from the dwellings under the city wall, bypass the wall, and hit the tunnel under the official road. We don't have to hit it too far. Half a mile is enough. At that time, all we have to do is to bypass the wall and break through from the East in the dark. "

Hearing the words, the sixth merchant was overjoyed and said, "Yuanqing, this method has a bright future. If it's such a short distance, maybe one day is enough. As long as we can get around the wall, we can break out in the direction of iron mountain, where we are familiar with. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, Xu sunspot's plan is really good, but there is still no way to solve the problem of ships.

Shang Laoliu also thought of this and said to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Yuanqing, this, we can only quickly get through the tunnel and send some brothers with good water quality to ask for help from Chen Jisheng."

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a puff of turbid gas.

If so, it is a good escape plan. Unfortunately, Li Yuanqing is not Mao Wenlong. Although he has a good relationship with Chen Jisheng, Li Yuanqing can not guarantee whether Chen Jisheng will send a boat.

Moreover, this matter, after all, is an act of deserting soldiers. If Chen Jisheng grabs this handle again, then

Xu Haizi also saw Li Yuanqing's confusion, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "adults, I hear that coastal people have the same means. If the ship loses water, they can hold a piece of wood and float with the waves. If they can hold on, they will surely float to the shore."

Li Yuanqing nodded and realized that if he wanted to run for his life, he could not escape now. He had to wait until the last moment. When the Jin army pushed the earth to Zhenjiang City, there would be at least one or two days left. With the strength of the Ming army, it would not be a problem to resist for three or five days. In fact, Li Yuanqing had enough time.

"This can be done. However, keep it a secret. Besides, those who do it must choose the most reliable brother. "

"Yes." Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi knelt down on one knee.

Shang Laoliu said: "Yuanqing, this matter should not be delayed, we will start tonight."

Li Yuanqing nodded, silent.

……

Although he prepared for his own way back, but in the face of the next situation, Li Yuanqing did not have any sense of ease.

The plan of Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi is doomed to escape only a small number of people. The rest of the brothers, I'm afraid

Moreover, the gentry and the common people in Zhenjiang city will be reduced to tragic victims.

It is impossible for the latter Jin army not to kill the city.

As for how to cross the river, Li Yuanqing also racked his brains. The best way was to float wood. Unfortunately, there were not many trees on the beach in the East. Even if there were, they were burned by the previous fire.

The best way is to use the tent under his command to make a simple leather raft.

Most of the tents are made of cattle, horses and sheep's leather. It's not too hard to change them into leather rafts that can carry people. It's still October now. Even if it's a bigger life buoy, it plays a decisive role. It's a pity that these women's lives are difficult for the soldiers under their command to complete, and they have to work manually.

What's more, Li Yuanqing's tents are not many. There are only dozens of tents. Many of them are now used by soldiers. If they are forcibly taken back, they will certainly cause a shock to the army.

Originally, Li Yuanqing also wanted to discuss this matter with Chen Zhong, but after careful consideration, Chen Zhong's bad temper, Li Yuanqing still gave up the idea.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had to endure for a while and watch the change.

……

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

The tunnel plan of Shang Laoliu and Xu Heizi has been completed. The tunnel passes through the wall of the east wall, and the exit is hit on the side of the official road half a mile outside the east wall. There is a big tree that has been burned down. From the wall, it is not different. Even if you go to the front, if no one wakes up, it is difficult for anyone to find out.However, although the back road has been completed, Li Yuanqing is not happy at all. After two days of mole ant moving, Houjin's earth pushing offensive has reached the periphery of the north gate of Zhenjiang City, which is less than 100 steps away from the defense line of Zhenjiang north gate.

No accident, tomorrow will be the day when the Jin army will attack the city in the overall situation.

In the evening, Mao Wenlong held another military meeting to inspire the army.

What makes Li Yuanqing unable to express his sadness and joy is that in this state of affairs, the only sensitive level to the crisis is Li Yuanqing's 1000 general level officers. As for the generals, general banners and soldiers at the bottom, they are not aware of the extent of the crisis. They are still immersed in the "invincible" surprise attack on Zhenjiang.

This is also the most important foundation for Mao Wenlong to fight with Houjin.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing naturally won't say much.

Life a life, a spring of vegetation.

In the face of the general situation, how can ants compete with heaven and earth?

……

As expected, from the morning of the next day, Houjin's bulldozing offensive became faster and faster.

countless Han people, under the threat of the sword and guns of the Late Jin army, took the spade and hoe constantly and moved the position of the post gold to the direction of Jiangcheng town.

At first, Mao Wenlong couldn't bear the soldiers to shoot and kill the Han people. But seeing that the attack of the later Jin Dynasty was getting closer and closer, Mao Wenlong had to force his eyes to let the soldiers shoot arrows to disperse the Han people.

But the later Jin army was obviously more well prepared. After the offensive spread to Zhenjiang City, they no longer ordered the Han people to dig soil, but made some Han people to pile up a pile of sand bags which had been prepared for a long time under the city wall.

According to their appearance, they didn't even need the ladder. They wanted to use these sand bags to build a "staircase" from the ground to the wall.

In the face of this situation, how dare Mao Wenlong dare to have half of the benevolence of women? As long as it is a threat to the existence of Zhenjiang City, both JianNu and Han people will be shot and killed.

Unfortunately, the wild boar skin is extremely cunning. They are all covered with thick armor. Many of them are assisted by shields, and they have been hiding behind the Han people. The Ming army on the top of the city, even if they have the intention, are powerless. The Han people and the few Han Army flag soldiers are the most shot.

One day and one night later, the sandbag attack under the north gate had been piled up to almost level with the city wall, and the soldiers of later Jin Dynasty could rush from the city to the head of the city.

The war inevitably broke out.

After the Jin army, the first to attack the city was a group of about 5-600 "heavy armour soldiers". They first put on a layer of cotton cloth inside, then put on thin scale armor, and finally put on iron shoulder armor and heart guard. They had a small round shield in their hands. Most of their weapons were heavy weapons such as heavy knives, axes and hammers.

"Kill. Kill minggou

These heavy armored soldiers are like a group of hungry wolves. Against the sound of the trumpet, they climb the steps piled up by sand bags and try their best to kill them at the head of the city.

The sand bag ladder is very wide, about one or two hundred meters, which can provide enough buffer for them.

At this time, the main attack direction of the later Jin army was just near the city gate, the junction of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

Moreover, the attack of the Houjin army was not only in the north gate, but also in the west gate and south gate.

"The dog tartar of dog day, I want to die. Boys, run up to me and cut them down. "

Seeing that the Jin army rushed up, Chen Zhong had already killed his red eyes and led his elite troops to fight with the latter Jin army at the head of the city.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect him. He ordered Guan Canghai and Wang Haibu to take the lead to stop the first attack of the Jin army. The other generals were on standby at any time to serve as reserve teams.

Li Yuanqing himself, however, did not take part in the war at the first time. Instead, he carefully observed the line-up of the post Jin army in a safe place on the side of the city wall.

Most of these heavy armour soldiers were Han people. They only heard their shouting and swearing, which was no different from that of the Ming army.

However, their skeleton is a real slave, often more than ten or twenty people, around a real slave, forming a center, frantically pounding the defense line at the head of the Ming army.

It was also the first time that Li Yuanqing observed the real JianNu from such a close distance.

They are not tall, no more than 1.7 meters, but they are all strong, almost all of them are round legged, with broad shoulders and thick back. Their small pigtails are just like the tail of a mouse. They are all brave and brave.

Chen Zhong's main force, relying on the number of people and geographical advantages, did not fall behind for a while. He was entangled in the city wall line with these heavy armour soldiers of the Jin army.

However, Li Yuanqing, with a small number of people and a new army, was unable to hold on to it before long, killing and injuring.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect him. He called on the sixth and shunzi of the Shang Dynasty, and quickly transferred three of his troops to the top.

This time, Li Yuanqing did not avoid fighting any more. He wanted to see with his own eyes and feel how strong the fighting power of the post Jin army, especially the real slaves, was.

"Hold on, brothers. Your honor has come with reinforcements. Kill all the Tartars. "At this time, Guan Canghai was covered with blood. Several holes were opened on his armor, and blood gushed out from the wound.

He had been exhausted, but Li Yuanqing and the fresh army, who came later, gave him infinite courage and entangled with the latter Jin army.

Not long ago, Li Yuanqing has rushed to the front of the battle, came to the Guan Canghai side, "the general officer, you first take your boys down, this side to me."

Li Yuanqing yelled at Guan Canghai.

"My Lord, I will not retire. You have to fight to the end with your humble position. " Guan Canghai has already killed red eyes, where is willing to step back.

Li Yuanqing is also angry, loud to the side of the soldiers said: "dog day, tie this son of a bitch to me."

Close to the soldiers dare not neglect, hastened to drive the official Canghai backward.

Guan Canghai didn't know Li Yuanqing's love for him. He couldn't stop tears and said, "my Lord, many children, many children My Lord, you have to avenge them... "

Li Yuanqing, however, ignored Guan Canghai directly and urged the fresh troops around him to move forward.

Soon, guancanghai troops retreated one after another, leaving a lot of space for the city head, and the formation of Li Yuanqing's Department was temporarily set aside.

At this time, a real slave with a body like an iron tower noticed Li Yuanqing. With a gloomy smile, he took more than a dozen strong men of Han Army flag to cross the city and quickly wrapped it up to Li Yuanqing.
