Chapter 41: The two armies fought outside the high wall, and a group of people besieged the city

The next day, Zhao Zhen and Li Li came to the city together.

On this night, there was a lot of wind and rain. Zhao Jin put on his clothes, wore a hat, and inspected the barracks. Looking up at the dark night, the raindrops kept hitting my face. Thinking of Xiangzhi, I didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and a tingling feeling went straight into my heart. I really want to capture the city immediately, but even Ye Xieyi's wall is very high and solid, so I'm afraid it's not easy to attack it.

Li Da came to look for Zhao Yu and reported, "Lord, it's raining heavily. It's time to move tomorrow." Du Longhan beside Zhao Jin was puzzled. Zhao Jin nodded and said, "It's reasonable. Although the Mogilio people may not know how to dig rivers into our army in the heavy rain, we should still beware. As the saying goes: be careful. Du Longhan was very smart and suddenly realized that there were so many wonderful strategies available for war.

In two days, Wuda will arrive with his own soldiers. Zhao Jin then gathered the generals to discuss the strategy of attacking the city. He Pan shouted, "Why is this so difficult? According to the opinion of the general, I will be the vanguard, and the army will attack the city!" BRUI Abbasi, BRUI Titiqin, BRUI Abegg and BRUI Agil all said, "That's right!" Li Qingxi said, "Hang slowly. The lord was on the top, and the generals listened: The city is difficult to attack. If there is no good plan, I'm afraid that the casualties will be great if I attack the city by the ladder alone..."

As soon as he said this, Buri Agil interrupted, "Do you have the courage to be a man? If you don't have the courage, you will step back! I will wait for the ladder to attack the city and die without regret!" His three brothers called it together.

Li Qingxi smiled and thought that he was a new general and did not dare to express his opinions. He only nodded and stopped talking. Zhao Jin noticed and asked, "Li Weiwei, do you have any ideas? If there is, it's okay to say it. With the master's question, Li Qingxi explained, "Master, it has been difficult to attack the high wall since ancient times. And from the end of the general, there is an enemy general in Ye Xieyi's city, who can command very well. If this persontong forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the ladder to attack the city. Li Da said, "I also know this person. He called Beschuyerkhev. On that day, our army designed to lure the enemy and defeated the East Sisi army. Unexpectedly, he had an ambush and injured General Xiao. Zhao Jin heard this and gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of husband? Tell me again! I must remember this thief and hold him to pieces!" Li Da said, "Beschu Yerkhev." Dai Degong interrupted angrily: "This man who suffothed the ball! There is no need for the lord to be powerful. The last general will capture him to avenge General Xiao!" Yan Shizhong also patted his thigh heavily: "This thief deserves to die! If General Xiao hadn't been injured..."

Speaking of this, everyone knows what Yan Shi said. If Xiao Qian hadn't been injured, the lord's sister Xiangzhi would not have left the city of Talyab; if she had not left the city, she would not have been attacked and taken captled. Zhao Jin waved his hand and stopped Yan Shizhong: "Well, let's not talk about it. Let's discuss the topic as soon as possible. Li Weiwei, go on." Li Qingxi said, "The enemy has good generals, and it is even more difficult to attack the city. However, Ye Xieyi is not the four walls. Zhao Jin heard this, and his heart pounded and said quickly, "Go on. Everyone else listens quietly, don't interrupt!" Li Qingxi then said, "At the end of the day, he looked around the city and asked the local Dongsi people to learn that the city has three high walls and one facing the river. Although there are also walls near the river, they are not very high, and there are several ferry beaches, which is a gap. According to the opinion of the last general, it is better to build a boat, select strong men, smuggle away at night, and attack the city from the beach. When there is chaos in the city, it's not too late to attack the city with a ladder outside the city!"

When Zhao Jin heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "It's a good plan. It's worth trying!"

Uda laughed and said, "If I talk about shipbuilding, I will build a fastboat called 'hoach ship'." So Uda explained the style of this ship to the lord and the generals. It turns out that the hull of this kind of ship is pointed and long, and can sit four ranks of sergeants. The two rows on the outside are rowed with hand-held oars, and the two rows on the inner side use their feet to move the turbine to pull the propeller blades at the bottom of the ship to rotate, so it has dual power and extremely fast. Zhao Jin was overjoyed and said, "I have only heard of the Archimed spiral pump before, but I didn't expect you to be able to apply the spiral principle to the ship's power!" Wuda said, "This was presented by a great craftsman when my ancestors supervised the warship. Now the world knows who built this ship, I'm afraid there are no other people!" The implication is that no one can build this kind of boat except Wuda. Uda used to be the leader of craftsmen in the Yuan Dynasty and the Golden Curtain Khanate, and did not offer this kind of ship. Now he has become a general and is valued by the winner. Of course, he will offer it. Zhao Jin asked Wuda by the way, "What was the name of the great craftsman back then?" Uda shook his head: "I don't know." Zhao Jin sighed, "Our East really despises the working people and inventors!" Because I want to discuss military affairs, stop gossiping here.

There are many craftsmen in the Yanhan army, so it doesn't matter if the next two thousand craftsmen have not arrived yet. In order to enter the city as soon as possible to listen to the news of Xiangzhi, Zhao Jin ordered Uda to build ships overnight. There is no need to build more, just build two ships first. One can accommodate 100 people and two ships for 200 people. Zhao Jin drew up a battle plan and personally led 200 strong men to smuggle, landed on a beach closest to the southern wall, kill the wall, and receive the army outside the city to enter the city. The generals dissuaded, and the general should not take risks in person. Zhao Jin doesn't follow. Li Da said righteously, "The son of a daughter can't sit down. What's more, Lord? Although the lord cherishes his sister, he still hopes to put the great cause first. Zhao Yu had to obey. Yan Shizhong volunteered to take on important responsibilities, and Dai had to go with him, so Zhao Yu ordered the two generals to take a boatman each.

The plan has been made and the ship has been built. Uda personally led a group of skilled craftsmen to build two mandarin boats, and other craftsmen and sergeants made dozens of ordinary paddle boats ready to use. It took five or six days to rush to work overnight, and the army of Yanhan had arrived one after another and surrounded Lianye Xieyi on three sides. Zhao Jin ordered the besieged Han army to bluff in the northeast of the city, but the main force of the siege quietly moved to the south.

What's the scene in the city these days? It can only be described as a "ran" word!

On the day of the failure of the battle out of the city, Malmoskov and Bei Liao Zuowei were uneasy and afraid of the Grand Duke of Templudorf. Unexpectedly, the Grand Duke didn't even come out of the palace. The two went in and asked the prince's own soldiers, only to know that the prince might be tired from having fun and was sleeping soundly. The two looked at each other and didn't dare to disturb them, so they retreated.

The residents of the city are afraid that the Orientals will slaughter the city after breaking through Lianye. They respect Beschuyelkhev, who shot back the Orientals and saved the crisis of the whole city. They are very disgusted with Chevalov, who was defeated and almost lost the city. They pointed to Chevalov's back and scolded.

Since his expedition, Chevalov has been unlucky, and now he has become the target of public criticism. The generals despise him, and the civilians are so angry that he is about to go about to go. Thinking that he had no face to stay any longer, Chevalov led the remnants of the headquarters to the ferry and returned to the Principality of Bensa. The military and civilians in the city are in an uproar! Due to the strict order of the Grand Duke, no one can cross the river to leave Lianye Sheyi except to move supplies and reinforcements in Hexi! This is an escape! So Mogiglio's soldiers clashed with the soldiers of Bensa and fought. The soldiers of Pnza finally ignored the order of the Grand Duke and fled with Chevalov.

The chaos in the city is more than that. Next, Grand Duke Templudorf has not come out to preside over the overall situation for several days and has been nestled in his bedroom. With only one exception, he rarely came out of his bedroom that day, but he did not go out to comfort the soldiers, nor did he ask about the situation of guarding the city. He only went to the warehouse to get a few good silks. It is said to be used to make clothes for the princess of the East.

This can make Grand Duchess Luo Lei Jiawa angry! Since the wedding, except for the days when the Grand Duke went on an expedition, which day does the Grand Duke not sleep in his arms? Now for many days in a row, the Grand Duke doesn't even pay attention to himself! Luo Lei Jiawa is also a top beauty, and how many men have pursued her! It was because the Grand Duke broke Luo Lei Jiawa's motherland and took a fancy to the beauty of Luo Lei Jiawa, and Luo Lei Jiawa, who came from a noble family, also yearned for power and glory, so she married the Grand Duke regardless of the age difference. Now, the Grand Duke actually spoiled the princess of the East and completely left his wife behind!

But what's the use of just being angry? Lorejava had nothing to do with Templudorf. He is the Grand Duke! What can Luo Lei Jiawa do? She is angry with others. The ladies who followed her were a little careless and slapped her in the face.

On this day, Luo Lei Jiawa walked out of the palace for a walk and drank some wine. She blushed after drinking, but her mood did not improve. This is exactly "more sorrowful by drinking". It was cloudy and rainy outside, and Luo Lei Jiawa only felt more depressed. When he came back, he saw a large number of soldiers crowded outside the gate of the palace, blocking his way back.

These soldiers gathered because the Grand Duke did not take over, including Vzovicnov and Beschuyilhev. Although they are not convinced of each other, they all feel that it is impossible for the Grand Duke not to be a director, especially when the Orientals besiege the city and the weather is bad. The morale is low, and the Grand Duke must come to boost it himself. In addition, the Grand Duke has always been stingy, the barracks lacks repairs, and the rain keeps leaking. Foreign soldiers are treated worse, and they simply sleep in muddy water. They thought that they were so hard, but the Grand Duke was sleeping with the Oriental Princess in his arms in the warm and soft quilt. Do they still want to fight in their hearts?

Therefore, Beschuelkhev and Vzoevichsnov coincidentally came outside the grand duchy's palace and wanted to have a good talk with the grand duchy, but the grand duchy refused to come out. The soldiers said, "The Grand Duke has to sleep during the day, and we are strictly not allowed to let people disturb! If we are disturbed, the guild will whip us in the face and fine our salaries! Therefore, we dare not let you in!"

In this way, a group of Dongsi soldiers were helpless and stayed outside the gate, very angry. Luo Leijiawa came back from drinking wine and was also very angry. Seeing so many people blocking the road, she was even more untempered. She came forward to pull a person, indiscriminately, and shook her hand was just a slap in the face!

A group of soldiers were stunned and watched the Grand Duchess slap in the face and walk on the separate road. Vzovicnov had always admired his wife but did not dare to show it. At this time, he hurried forward and blocked the road to try to take advantage of luck. After a while, it really came true, so Vuzovicnov stroked his hot face, giggled, and watched his wife walk into the door.

When the soldiers saw that it was the lady, they flashed and let her go. Luo Lei Jiawa entered the palace and saw that there were soldiers in the way. She bit her teeth, raised her eyebrows, and slapped her before she could see it clearly.

The one who was beaten was Bei Liao Zuowei. Don't let Liao Zuowei be overjoyed. It turned out that he had liked the stepmother very much since Luo Lei Jiawa got married, but his stepmother didn't like him. He was polite between his words, but under that polite appearance, it only made people feel a cold heart. Don't worry about this. Don't be depressed. Now Luo Leijiawa is willing to beat her. Obviously, she doesn't see her again - this is similar to "playing is kissing, scolding is love"! So Liao Zuo Wei was happy, nodded and bowed, and retreated to guide Luo Lei Jiawa in.

Malmoskov saw that his brother had such luck and was very jealous. He also came forward to give him "blowing is kissing, scolding is love". However, Luo Lei Jiawa hit many people in a row, which made her hands very painful, so she stopped beating. Compared with the pain in her hand, her heart really hurts, and Luo Leijiawa is extremely sad. She glanced at the Grand Duke's bedroom and cursed a word that others couldn't hear. A group of ladies followed their wives into another palace. Malmoskov and Beliao Zuowei met each other and looked at each other and felt that they were not pleasing to each other. But now is not the time to argue. They smiled at each other understandingly and chased the corner of the corridor that the lady's class ladies had just turned. The two prince's attendants wanted to keep up, but they waved their hands to stop them. They had to watch them disappear and didn't know what to do.

The soldiers outside stood unpreparably for a long time, and the sky had darkened. Vzowicznov discussed with Beschuyelkhev and felt that there was nothing he could do if the Grand Duke could not come out. He had to lead his own headquarters to defend well. The Grand Duke is lustful, and the Oriental Princess is very beautiful. It's not surprising that he has been fascinated for a while. Let's wait until he has enough of his mind!
