Nanming Engineer

Chapter 253 I have a plan

Liu Yun stood on the Guanlou of Jianmen Pass, looking far into the distance, at the place where the mountains and mountains rise in the distance in the sunset and dusk, the Qing army's flags and banners are stacked one after another, densely arranged in the gaps between the treetops and grass tops, and there are countless camps hidden Among them, the occasional sound of horns, bells and drums, as well as the shouting and shouting of teams of patrolling guards, all showed that outside Jianmen Pass, there were heavy troops of the Qing army gathered.

And in the distance below the Guancheng, where the arrows can't reach, some shop soldiers Nikan are busy carrying the corpses of the fallen Qing soldiers. It can be seen from the above that the reaction to the closure is very apprehensive.

Liu Yun touched the scratches on the stone crenels, which were formed by countless solid shells shot up from the pass. The small siege cannons used by the Qing army were all small Franco cannons that were easy to carry. No more than two hundred catties, basically small guns of about one hundred catties, the projectiles fired are no more than five taels, which can be used in field battles, but used in sieges is equivalent to tickling the city walls.

However, although the projectiles are small, they can still kill people if they are hit, so these small cannons are set up at the foot of the mountain, and whenever they attack the city, they shoot all over the sky. Either hit the city wall, but the sound of the cannon firing and the stern power of the shells whistling are still very shocking. In addition, the dead soldiers who rushed forward and charged forward with shouts of determination, and the Eight Banners soldiers who followed behind and fired bows and arrows shot out. The rain of arrows all over the sky, and the momentum of destroying the city formed, can definitely scare the timid and cowardly people so much that they can't lift their hands.

Standing on the pass, Liu Yun witnessed the Qing soldiers attacking the city the next day after he came to Jianmen Pass, once again witnessed the fierceness of the Qing army, and naturally recalled in his mind the scene when the Daxi army confronted him. The miserable situation made me feel cold all over, and the hairs all over my body stood on end. I almost had the illusion that this small pass city would be occupied by the Qing army in the next moment.

Correspondingly, he also saw the Kuizhou army fighting for the first time. The Kuizhou army stood on the city wall and hid behind the crenel, methodically like a sophisticated machine, doing their own things according to their respective division of labor. The hand shoots the crossbow arrows from the small hole in the crenel, and the bird is also copying the bird, aiming slowly and carefully, aiming at the target and shooting, while more people are sweating profusely operating the huge The bed crossbow and the heavy boulders were carried, and the boulders were thrown from the long slide rails that protruded from the outside of the wall, and the round boulders fell along the slide rails to the stone plank road below. Or on the soil slope, and then rolled all the way along the mountain, rolling into the pile of Qing soldiers.

The number of guards on the city wall has always maintained a sufficient range, and it does not appear to be crowded, and the soldiers do not appear to be afraid of their hands and feet going weak. They are doing their own things calmly and attentively, and they look very well-trained.

When someone was injured in battle, someone would come up and carry him down, and then someone would immediately rush up to take over from the cave where soldiers were hidden under the city.

Liu Yun stood there for a whole day, but he didn't see anyone killed in the Kuizhou army. The few wounded were all careless, so they got out of the protection of the city wall and the shield of the arrow shield, and were injured by the arrows.

What would happen if the Great Western Army came to defend the city?Liu Yun thought to himself, could it be so easy?Would the casualties be that small?In other words, if other Ming army troops guarded the pass, would the effect be the same?
Elite soldiers, this is elite soldiers, a strong enemy will not be chaotic, and a threat will be on the top without yielding. It is rare in ancient times. Even the elite guards of Daxi can't reach this level. It is fashionable to fight with the wind. Once there is a trace of defeat, except for a few loyal personal guards, most of the soldiers will disperse in fear, and then the whole army will be defeated.

Li Tingyu and Ma Xintian did not delay Liu Yun too much. When the Qing army's offensive was beaten back, they immediately sent a squad to protect Liu Yun and left behind Jianmen Pass. Someone was sent there to inform Li Dingguo, who was a savage in the deep mountains, to find his way out of the mountain from the direction of Baoningfu.

Considering that Li Dingguo was injured, a doctor from Baoning Mansion would return with Liu Yun with a medical kit of medicinal materials to treat Li Dingguo's injuries on the spot to avoid delaying the treatment.

Liu Yun walked away full of sighs. Behind him, the sword gate was closed and smoke billowed, killing the sun. The offensive and defensive battle between the Qing army and the Kuizhou army continued.

In the city of Hanzhong, Malaxi could no longer sit still. The news coming from the south, west, east and west of Hanzhong were not optimistic. To the west, Hauge had been stationing troops at Jiange for a long time without making any progress; to the south, Tan Bai and He Zhen were there. In the Ankang confrontation, although the Qing army had the upper hand, it could not completely wipe out He Zhen in a short period of time. The two sides were engaged in a fierce tug-of-war, with tens of thousands of people dying; and in the direction of Xi'an, which was originally peaceful in the east, since the wave of fire coming from Yinping Road The Ming army that emerged after killing Li Guohan disappeared in the Qinling Mountains, cut off the Chencang Road from Hanzhong to Xi'an, killed several generals who were escorting grain, robbed and burned several batches of grain and grass, and no one left Xi'an. Rice can be transported here, but Hanzhong is barren. All the grain and grass were wiped out by He Zhen, and the people could not squeeze out any grain. A large number of people fled to Gansu and Guanzhong. Hanzhong was already uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the villages were dilapidated, leaving him in Hanzhong. Sitting in the city, my belly is empty.

Maraxi also led his troops to search for the Ming army, but the vastness of the country and the vast Qinling Mountains, where can he find it?

He wanted to divide his troops, but he was worried that there were too few people. After all, there was a precedent. Those Qing troops who were escorting grains, each of which had more than 2000 people, were killed to the point where not even the dregs were left.

Therefore, Malaxi was in a state of desperation, and every day he led his soldiers out of the city to search aggressively, and then came back dejectedly, but he did not find any clues of the Ming army.

Seeing the passage of time, June is about to pass, Haug's temper is very clear to Marashi. If this continues, it will be a matter of time for his head to move. He is so irritated and desperate that he will commit suicide.

At this moment, Su Le, who was ordered to repair the road, came.

Suler came here with his own escort of hundreds of Bagala soldiers. Apart from that, he had no one else. Hauge did a great job and didn't even send him a handyman. He called it euphemistically. When you arrive in Hanzhong, you can naturally recruit civilian husbands from the local Han people.

Su Le didn't care about it, because in his heart, this trip was not for the purpose of repairing the road of Naluoshizi.

Wang Huan!This name made him very eager. When he finally asked the name from the mouths of the white soldiers who were finally captured on Wuchang Road after torture and torture, Su Le was very surprised. It turned out that there was a thick fog. , The mastermind who played him around and abducted priceless gold and silver property was not Li Tingyu, but a young monk named Wang Huan!
Fortunately, these white-pole soldiers didn't know much, so Suler didn't ask about the whereabouts of the property. However, Suler had a good memory and quickly recalled that there were indeed a few young monks of unknown origin in Li Tingyu's supply camp at that time. , I once met him face to face, and I can vaguely recall the appearance of that skinny novice monk with a cunning look on his face.

Suler's teeth were itching with hatred. This man had almost ruined his future. If Duduo hadn't taken care of him, he might never have been able to turn around in this life. From then on, the words "Wang Huan" haunted Suler, more than women. If you want to make him interested, you have to inquire about this person's whereabouts whenever you have the chance. Now that you know that the little monk at the time has become the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, this is amazing!
So Su Le stepped on his horse and rushed into the city of Hanzhong, grinding his teeth.

When Malaxi heard that Sule was coming, he didn't care too much. Although he had the aura of the regent, he was not afraid of this junior.

So Malahi sat in the lobby, waited for Sule to come in, asked a few words, and then wanted to send him away.

Su Le was not angry. Malaxi had made great contributions and had high qualifications. He had been reining in the battlefield since Huang Taiji came to power. He had fought countless bloody battles in his life. He was a respectable veteran and he admired him very much.

However, when Malaxi picked up the teacup impatiently to see off the guests, Su Le spoke.

"Master Guan Erzhen, the last general, is frowning, and seems to be entangled in his thoughts, and he doesn't know what to do? Su Le is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries." Su Le said respectfully, his tone full of respect.

Malaxi was a little distracted, holding a teacup in a daze, Su Le paused for a moment after speaking, and then realized, "Ah", said: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

He didn't want to show his incompetence in front of the juniors.

Su Le knew what he was thinking, so he didn't bother him, and pointed it out directly: "Could it be that what Mr. Erzhen is worried about is the group of Ming soldiers wandering in Hanzhong?"

Malaxi frowned, a little displeased, and kept his mouth shut. Seeing him like this, Su Le smiled and said: "There will be a plan in the end, which can relieve your worries!"
