Chapter 39 Offensive and Defensive Battle (4)
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial." Chen Zizhuang said while everyone was thinking hard.
“Show it.”
Zhu Youlang was not used to this kind of approach for the pattern for the time being. Now it is wartime, so there is no need to be so formal? Is it okay to just say it directly? What kind of question book is written? However, since Chen Zizhuang did this, he had to take a stance and could not say "Don't be so formal, just be casual."
If he made a small hole, the ministers would definitely think of making the small hole bigger. Over time, even if the etiquette of the king and the ministers was not abandoned, they would definitely not be so solemn and generous.
A few days ago, because of confidentiality, there were not so many etiquettes between the monarch and his subjects, and his words and deeds were indeed a little casual. Now, Zhu Youlang's identity has become obvious, so naturally he can no longer be like before.
Chen Zizhuang obviously realized this, so even if the emperor's throne is not solid, he will not lack the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects, so he should have the word "care".
"My teacher Chen Zizhuangqi received a letter from Chen Jitai, the former governor of the previous dynasty, saying that he was willing to be loyal to the Holy Lord, but he begged your Majesty to allow him to allow him to make the troops in the court as the original governor. I would like to temporarily agree to it and then slowly follow the war.
When will it be done, only the Holy Ones.”
After Zhu Youlang finished reading it, a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. Then he suddenly realized that no wonder Chen Zizhuang used the question book to say this, which turned out to be difficult to say.
Chen Jitai had not made any achievements, so he threatened him with 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. He wanted to be the Grand Marshal of the World? Who should he treat me as a person?
Zhu Youlang really wanted to refuse flatly, but when he thought of the current situation, he felt that he could not act on his emotions - a small impatience would cause trouble.
Chen Zizhuang's suggestions are very safe, and they are the old man's advice. As long as you win this battle, it will not be too late to deal with him slowly.
What is there not yet?
"Well, Jisheng's words are very good. He drafted the order, Chen Jitai abandoned the secret and turned to the light, preserved the strength of the Qing Dynasty, and made contributions to the country. He was appointed as the Zhongyong Bo and Pingnu Supervisor. After receiving the order, he immediately led his troops eastward to the South China Sea and formed a joint attack on the Qing army." Zhu Youlang ordered casually.
It turned out that he was planning to let him go to Guangzhou to help defend the city. Since he was so ignorant, he had to prevent him from becoming older.
"I obey the order." Chen Zizhuang responded.
"Another order was drawn up, and Lin Cha immediately acted as planned. Lin Jue's troops entered Guangzhou to assist in defense. Ding Kuichu, Lu Daqi, Li Yongmao guarded Zhaoqing, and Qu Shizi came to Guangzhou immediately."
"Abide by the order." Chen Zizhuang responded again.
Hearing that the emperor had given Chen Jitai and Zhang Jiayu, Chen Bangyan's heart was moved, "What's the question book about Chen Jisheng? Chen Jitai was surrendered? However, he had not made any achievements, so why did he reward the title of Pingnu? These soldiers who fought bloody battles had not yet rewarded him, so why did he reward a surrender first? What does the emperor mean?"
Zhu Youlang did not explain, put Chen Zizhuang's question book into his sleeve, and then said, "There are thousands of things, and there are always priorities. At present, the Qing soldiers are the ones in front of him. My dear friends, if the Qing soldiers use the strategy of carrying the earth to plague the city, how should they break it?"
In fact, he already had an idea, but he had not yet considered mature. Besides, a mature leader cannot express his attitude when he comes up. He should first listen to his subordinates' opinions, then combine his ideas, and finally make a decision. This should be done to maintain a sense of mystery, and secondly, it should also give people the image of a wise ruler who can listen to both sides. Thirdly, it should be more clever to come up with opinions.
"Emperor, if the Qing soldiers are placing soil, then we will use water. How about it?" Jiao Lian said.
Zhu Youlang also thought of this plan. He was inspired by the word "soil erosion".
"General Jiao, do you mean we pour water down the city? We intend to wash away the soil with water?" Zhang Jiayu asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what it means."
"If it is a pile of soil, it is best to use water. However, I think they must use bags to fill soil, and they cannot wash away with water. At most, they will turn the soil in the bag into mud. If the soil bag is washed away, it will be unless the sand river water is drawn over." Zhang Jiayu questioned.
"Yes, the Qing soldiers could also get the wooden cabinets at the people's homes to fill soil, which is not difficult." Chen Bangyan also thought of this festival.
Jiao Lian's proposal was rejected here. Zhu Youlang said intimately, "I didn't say it at the beginning. If someone refutes it, how shameless would it be?!"
What should I do? If the Qing soldiers really used this plan, more than 10,000 people would transport soil in a steady stream, and they would probably be able to build a horse road in less than half a day.
Everyone fell into deep thought.
"Emperor, the Qing army has moved." At this moment, Zhang Hu came to report.
Everyone looked up and saw that the Qing soldiers were moving. Unfortunately, the Qing soldiers were digging the soil, and they really used rice bags to fill the soil.
Everyone looked at each other and a bad premonition surged in their hearts.
"Prepare to face the enemy! Zhang Hu, adjust more archers and prepare more arrows. Where is Su Xiong?" Zhang Jiayu hurriedly ordered.
"Here, here!" Su Xiong had been waiting for his orders from afar. When he heard Zhang Jiayu call, he hurried over.
Su Xiong's face was not washed, his beard was not shaved, and he looked tired.
"Su Xiong, find a way to protect the gunner. Don't let the artillery stop today. Look at the bridgehead and bomb it for me!" Zhang Jiayu ordered.
"As for the order!" Su Xiong took the order and turned around.
"Ling Bin, organize people to carry the water city immediately, and use all the methods you can use." Zhu Youlang added.
"Abide by the order!" Chen Bangyan bowed and turned around and arranged.
...
"Dong", "Dong", "Dong"...
The sound of war drums sounded, and a team of Qing soldiers rushed through Jiuyan Bridge first, and shot at the Ming army at the top of the city. Then a team of Qing soldiers rushed down the city with bags filled with soil on their backs.
"It's useless to charge the people. It seems that what I said to Li Chengyin is effective. Since that's the case, Li Chengdong is not completely ruined." Zhu Youlang said to Chen Zizhuang.
"Is it, or is the emperor who has the foresight to put Li Chengyin back, so as not to suffer the people, it's worth it." Chen Zizhuang said.
"Let's wait and see, Li Chengyin's role will not be just that." Zhu Youlang said.
As the king and his ministers spoke, they saw the Ming army on the top of the city start shooting against the Qing soldiers. At the same time, Su Xiong's cannon also sounded.
Three cannons and three shells harvested the lives of dozens of Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers were prepared for a long time, and the subsequent troops immediately made up to continue to maintain the number of archers.
Under the protection of Qing soldiers' archers, the Qing soldiers who were fighting against the earthen bag rushed up in the rain of arrows. Although people were caught in arrows from time to time, about half of the Qing soldiers rushed to the city, threw the earthen bags, and ran back. Some of them were shot to death by the Ming army just after they ran a few steps.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...
Three more cannons fired, and the cannons fired again.
Wow, so fast?
The cannon fired again, not only the Qing soldiers were stunned, but also Zhu Youlang was stunned. After a closer look, he secretly praised Su Xiong for his intelligence.
Chapter completed!
