Chapter 212 Longyan Night Battle (2)
At night, a pile of dry firewood was burning on the stone bridge outside the east gate, illuminating the stone bridge as bright as daytime.
Tu Lai's physical strength has been restored. Accompanied by Shi Changsheng, he came to the East City Gate to observe the movement.
On the city tower, the soldiers were on high alert and observed the movements of the Ming army under the city vigilantly. Tu Lai wanted a soldier's quiver and looked at it. Seeing that it was full, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Changsheng, be careful and never get distracted." Tu Lai reminded.
"Master, please rest assured. I'm here to watch me personally. Do you go and take a break first?" Shi Changsheng said with a smile on his back as if he was curled up like a shrimp.
"Okay, it seems that you are still filial. Then I will go and take a break first and report it immediately if you have any questions." Tu Lai said with satisfaction.
"Yes, I will rest peacefully, and the servant will stand on the city without blinking." Shi Changsheng expressed his determination while sending Tu Lai under the city.
"Little bastard, you're pretty good at being flattered. Mr. Qian has been working for two years, right? After this battle, I will raise your official position one more time." Tu Lai said.
"Thank you!" Shi Changsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and shook his horse's hooves and hit him a thousand times.
"Forget it!" Tu Lai didn't even look back and actually left.
Tu Lai's surname is Tong, the son of the late guerrilla general, Tong Yangzhen, and the nephew of Prince Zheng Jiergalang. He is Gushan Ezhen of Zhengbai Banner, that is, the banner owner. As Shi Changsheng, who is under Zhengbai Banner, should flatter him.
Tu Lai returned to the house next to the East Gate - this was his temporary tent, and he lies on the bed with a robe. He didn't dare to sleep to death. The powerful enemy soldiers were at the city, and the battle was about to come, how could he dare to sleep? It was just that Shi Changsheng was staring at the city that he was able to lie down a little.
The surroundings were very quiet. Gradually, Tu Lai, who had originally wanted to sleep, fell asleep.
Suddenly, Tu Lai was awakened by the rushing screams of his personal soldiers: "Sir, wake up!"
Tu Lai was shocked in her sleep and turned over and sat up: "What's the matter? Minggou attacked the city?"
"Sir, the north forage farm caught fire!" said the personal soldier anxiously.
Tu Lai was shocked, kicked his boots in a few seconds, walked out of the house quickly, walked to the city wall and looked north, and saw the fire in the north, reflecting half of the sky. The city was already in chaos, with rapid gongs everywhere, and there were people clamoring: "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Go to put out the fire!"
"No, Minggou's spy had already been involved in the city. This was to create chaos and lure me to divide the troops, with the purpose of siegeing the city..." Tu Lai made a teaser and instantly guessed the conspiracy behind the fire.
"Master, do you want to send troops to put out the fire?" Shi Changsheng rushed over at this time, and asked quickly without even being able to greet him.
"Bang!" Tu Lai turned around and admired Shi Changsheng with a big mouth, opened his mouth and cursed: "You asked you to guard Longyan, but you actually let Minggou get in. What to save? This is Minggou's suspicious plan, and the purpose is to let me divide the troops. Are you a pig?"
"Your Majesty goes to Mr. Beizi to discuss military information. You can guard the city gates well. If there is any mistake, you can wait to be slaughtered!"
"Yeah!" Shi Changsheng fought a thousand times and replied loudly.
Tulai was very smart and used the excuse to go to Boluo to hand over the defense of the East Gate to Shi Changsheng.
After Tu Lai left, Shi Changsheng came to the city wall and looked east. Under the light of fire, he saw the Ming army pressing up in a black way.
"Hurry up, the Ming army is coming up, prepare to shoot arrows!" Shi Changsheng shouted loudly, and the soldiers from the soldiers immediately cheered up their spirits, rolled the arrows, staring at the movements of the stone bridge.
The Ming army did not rush up at all, but threw a few grenades from a distance from the fire.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", three loud noises came, and the Qing soldiers were so scared that they were trembling. When they saw the firewood piles were blown up, only a few firewood that had exploded to the side of the city wall were still burning "crackling", but the bridge was sinking into darkness again.
"Ah, can grenades blow up the fire?" Shi Changsheng was stunned by the scene in front of him. The pile of firewood that had been working hard for a while was blown out by three grenades?
"Woo..." A horn sounded in the Ming army formation. Shi Changsheng knew that this was a signal of the Ming army's attack.
"Hurry, shoot arrows! Shoot towards the bridgehead..." Shi Changsheng ordered loudly.
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." The Qing soldiers did not dare to be negligent and shot towards the bridgehead. Although they could not see clearly and shoot accurately, as long as the bridgehead was blocked, the Ming army should not be able to attack.
Just when he was extremely nervous, Shi Changsheng found a group of people coming up from the city wall corridor, wearing Qing soldiers' uniforms, probably his own people, but what was strange was that these people did not hold knives, guns, or bows and arrows. Everyone was carrying buckets in their hands, and some even carried bamboo baskets.
Why did the firefighter get on the city wall?
"Go to put out the fire to the north, why are you here for here? Go quickly, go quickly!" Shi Changsheng said impatiently.
"General, we are not a firefighter, we are here to deliver things to you." The first person was more than two meters away and said with a smile.
"Send something? What's your name? Why don't I know you?"
"General, my name is Wang Sheng. I will give you a taste of the iron melon." The visitor said, and found something black from the bucket.
"Wang Sheng? Why haven't you heard of it? What kind of iron melon?" Shi Changsheng was still suspicious, and saw Wang Sheng pulling the black thing, waved his hand and threw it over: "Let's go!"
...
Li Chengdong doesn't plan to have a night fight.
The emperor's words "You must rush and fight hard, and don't leave a chance to breathe for Boluo" are still in his ears, and his intention to make contributions is like hot charcoal. He wants to take advantage of the fact that the Tartars have not yet established a foothold and are trapped in the face of the lack of people and horses, and it is best to raise Boluo's head to report his merits to the emperor in a battle.
Yuan Pengnian disagreed with the strong attack, because although the Qing soldiers were at the end of their strength, they still fought with trapped beasts. People often exuded strong combat power at the moment of life and death. Relying on the defense of the strong city, and with superb archery skills, if they attacked for a strong attack, our army would pay a great price.
His suggestion is to fight at night, and it is best to use night cover to try to weaken the advantages of the Qing soldiers, so as to achieve greater results.
Meng Wenjie and Sun Zhongming disagreed. They believed that if the Qing soldiers recovered their strength, the price we paid for siege in the city would be greater.
Both sides felt the opinions of the two parties, and Li Chengdong was thinking about it and was unable to make up his mind. When he was in a dilemma, he heard from his personal soldiers: "Brother, Du Yong and General Du sent someone."
"Oh? Please, please." Li Chengdong's eyes lit up and he said to Yuan Pengnian: "Yonghe must have made arrangements for him. If he doesn't do it well, he will have a brilliant plan."
The person who came was not wearing military uniforms, dressed as a farmer. After giving gifts to Li Chengdong, he took out a letter from his body and handed it to Li Chengdong.
Li Chengdong took the letter, looked at it at a glance, read it quickly, and then laughed: "Yonghe did a pretty job! Brother Weimei, Boluo can't escape this time!"
