Chapter 422: Hundred and Thousand Urgent

Dongjiang Town.

Pi Island.

Shang Kexi was supervising in the dock and directing the craftsmen to transform warships. Since the warships in Dongjiang Town are not the kind of sea ships that can fight from the ocean, they are all small warships that can only walk near the coast and along the coast. So how can they pick some tonnage from these small warships just right, but they are more sturdy? This has become a problem. The ship is too big and cannot drive up, the ship is too small and cannot fire many guns, and the ship is not good enough. It is even worse. Before the gunship is fired, it falls apart.

Fortunately, when he was in a war in Dongjiang Town, he lived on the sea, but there were many boats, and there was room for selection, so he would not use all boats for use.

Peter also followed Shang Kexi to Pi Island, specializing in the modification of the warships. He was shaking a glass of wine, while tasting it while supervising the work of the craftsmen. If he found some problems, he would run over to negotiate with the craftsmen. It would be different for the monk Kexi to roll up his sleeves and work with the craftsmen.

"Hurry..., hang that cannon up..." Shang Kexi directed the craftsmen to sweat and dry.

Peter shook his head in the distance and tasted the fine wine in his hand carefully. This wine glass was a goblet made by Liulizhai. It was specially used for wine. It was the latest popular thing in the Ming Dynasty. Peter was no exception. He made a set of things. According to him, he lived a life that the counts had never lived. Peter was quite satisfied with this. He served His Majesty the Emperor in the Ming Dynasty, which was much more comfortable than being a colonial chief in the East India Company. He thought that once he helped the emperor win this war, his identity and status would undoubtedly be higher. It was not impossible for him to lead a fleet to teach the Japanese.

"Shang, don't have to do it yourself like that. As a supervisor, you should have your own place. Come and take a break..." Peter immediately prepared a drink for Shang Kexi when he saw Shang Kexi coming in sweat.

Shang Kexi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Peter, there are still forty cannons that do not have suitable ships to be placed. Either the ship is too small or too big, or it is impossible to bear..." Shang Kexi drank a large pot of tea in one breath and said.

"Is that true? If you really can't, just pick a smaller boat and install a few more. It's the same..." Peter said directly without too much thought.

"Well..." Shang Kexi said no, and nodded. The two of them said nothing and fell into silence.

"Yuan Ji! Peter!" A familiar shout surprised both the silent people. This voice was obviously Lei Dayong. How could Lei Dayong come here? When they divided the labor, Shang Kexi and Peter returned to Pi Island, specifically responsible for supervising the transformation of warships, while Lei Dayong stayed at the mouth of the Yalu River, specifically responsible for monitoring the movements of the upstream. Unexpectedly, Lei Dayong actually ran to Pi Island in person, not knowing what had happened.

"Dayong, why are you here?" Shang Kexi asked in surprise. Peter also put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Lei Dayong with a solemn face in surprise.

"Yuan Ji, Peter, this is not a place to speak, where is the war room? Hurry up, the situation is urgent..." Lei Dayong changed into a hint of anxiety on his serious face, which surprised the two of them even more!

The three of them soon arrived at the "war room", a big house with sand tables and maps.

"What's wrong? It's a big deal?" Shang Kexi asked anxiously.

"An emergency news came from Mr. Ma Qian upstream. The Tartars are now arresting people everywhere in North Korea. If they catch people, they will rush to Zhenjiang Fort. The number of people is quite large, and it is estimated to be several thousand..." Lei Dayong said anxiously.

"This..." Shang Kexi didn't come back to his senses after hearing the news for a long time. Why is this news so urgent?

Peter also looked at Lei Darong with confusion.

"Don't you understand yet? Why are the Tartars crossing the river? Why are the Tartars arresting people?..." Lei Dayong was very thirsty, drank a large cup of tea and said loudly.

Shang Kexi and Peter looked at each other, but they didn't understand why.

"... The Tartars dug trenches outside Zhenjiang Fort and caught so many people in North Korea. At night, there were many people below, and the city walls were not visible, and they were still grenades that could not be released to death... According to the Tartars' method in North Korea, they were afraid that they would catch tens of thousands of people in the future. It won't take long to take long, and the grenades from the Grand Marshal's place would be consumed..." Lei Dayong said anxiously.

"This!!" Shang Kexi heard Lei Dayong's analysis and immediately understood why Lei Dayong said that the situation was urgent. Zhenjiang Fort defended by grenades and firearms. Now the Tartars are digging trenches and catching North Koreans again. Obviously, they are trying to encircle the Koreans to attack the city to consume the grenades and firearms of Zhenjiang Fort. In this way, Zhenjiang Fort is really dangerous.

"What should I do? Great use, we have to reinforce immediately! Otherwise, the Grandmaster's place will be really dangerous..." Shang Kexi said anxiously, already a little panicked.

"I also know the reinforcements, but now there is no water in the river and the river is too narrow. The Tartars are fighting for losses and use their riding and shooting to seal the river. Those small warships cannot withstand it and cannot reach it at all. They have to have a big boat, but there is no water rise, so the big boat cannot reach it at all! Alas... That's why I rushed to Pi Island and discussed with you specifically what to do when I see it!" Lei Dayong said with concern.

"This..., we still have more than 40 cannons here that can't find a suitable warship. The others have been transformed and can be used at any time. Unfortunately, there is no water..., this..." Shang Kexi said anxiously. Without water, there is nothing to do, even if they have transformed the warship.

...

"It's okay to have a cannon matter. The news I received is that as soon as possible, the reinforcements will reach the Yalu River Estuary. If you choose a few suitable warships from those reinforcements, you should not have much problem with our face..." Lei Dayong thought for a moment and said.

The warships and cannons were resolved, but Shang Kexi could not be happy. The situation facing Zhenjiang Fort was nearly 100,000. At the critical moment, the Tartars used so many Koreans to attack the city. The consumption of grenades and firearms would be amazing. Once the grenades were consumed, they could only make their lives a life. There were only a few thousand people in Zhenjiang Fort?

Once Zhenjiang Fort cannot support it, it will fall immediately. Zhenjiang Fort fall, what they do will be meaningless. The thousands of miles of front arranged by the emperor will collapse immediately. This will be another great blow to the Ming Dynasty after Sarhu. It will undoubtedly be a considerable blow to the morale of the Ming Dynasty. It will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the emperor's prestige. If you want to organize an offensive against the Tartars again, you don't know that it was that year or month. If this battle fails, the emperor and their Dongjiang Town will undoubtedly be a big loser, and he will never be able to afford to lose.

"...This time, no matter what, we have to think of a solution. The Tartars are already arresting people and will soon be used to attack the city by North Koreans. The general is afraid that it will not last long..." Lei Dayong said anxiously.

"... Once Zhenjiang Fort is broken, your Majesty's efforts will be completed, and the entire arrangement will be destroyed. These thousands of miles of fronts will be afraid that the Tartars will immediately turn the tables. If Zhenjiang Fort fails, it will definitely be another Sarhu! I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot lose again..." Lei Dayong said anxiously with concern, gradually tracing the urgency of this news.

In the "war room", there was silence. The meaning of this news was very clear. It was not an exaggeration to use 100,000 urgent news. It was related to the result of the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Lu battle. Its involvement was beyond the reach of the two of them. The winner was only in these few days. So, what should we do next?

After a while of silence, no one said anything.

"Peter, when will it rain?" Shang Kexi couldn't help but ask Peter. They had already prepared for the support, and they were waiting for the rain and the river to rise. If there was no water in the river, so many preparations would be in vain and reinforcements could not be reached. The fall of Zhenjiang Fort is only a matter of time, and it is likely to fall in a very short time. The Tartars will not cherish the lives of the North Koreans.

Peter sat there seriously, as if thinking about the problem. When he heard Shang Kexi ask him, he came to his senses and said, "I have to ask those who are familiar with the weather for this matter. After asking them, you will know... However, according to the records, there will usually be rainfall in October and water rises. It is almost the third week of October. At least we have not seen precipitation before. So, there will definitely be precipitation in the next two weeks, unless... unless God does not help us, so that there will be no rainfall in the whole October..." Peter said, he dare not guarantee that the forecast of the weather will be like. If it does not rain at that time, these two young men will pull out his skin.

"...I know that there is a high possibility of rainfall in October, but the Grand Marshal may not last for two weeks. Don't you know? The Tartars have already caught people everywhere, and the Tartars have carried so many Koreans to attack the city. The grenades in the Grand Marshal's place are not enough. Do you know?... You must rain as soon as possible, and water must rise as soon as possible... Must..." Shang Kexi shouted in dismay, and in the end, he was almost nonsense.

Peter smiled helplessly, he was not God, no matter the rain.

"Okay, Yuan Ji, don't blame Peter. He can't control the rain. Now the Tartars have just started to arrest people. Before they take over a large number of Koreans to attack the city, there are still some days. No matter what, the Grand Marshal can still hold on for a few days. Besides, our reinforcements will reach the mouth of the Yalu River tomorrow, and the next day, we can go up the river. At most, we can go up the river in the old and the next day. If it really doesn't work, we will go ashore in Linjiang Village. Even if there is no water rise, the big boat can drive there. However, there are still more than ten miles of Zhenjiang Fort there, so we have to fight it..." Lei Dayong was in front of the sand table. After thinking for a long time, he heard Shang Kexi talking nonsense in an anxious manner. He immediately took the conversation and pointed at a place on the sand table with a small stick and said.

Shang Kexi and Peter hurriedly followed the direction pointed by Lei Dayong. This place was Linjiang Village on the Yalu River. From this place, the river water of the Yalu River quickly widened and deeper, from a few hundred steps to a river surface of thousands of steps. With such a wide river surface, it is enough for a large ship to sail, which is why Lei Dayong said so.

"Well, great use, if it doesn't rain then, we can only get ashore in this place..." Shang Kexi blushed and said word by word. If he gets ashore in this place, there will undoubtedly be a road paved with blood from Linjiang Village to Zhenjiang Fort. He has to pile up corpses. The supply team will suffer huge losses. It is undoubtedly very difficult to transport the supplies supplied to Zhenjiang Fort to Zhenjiang Fort.

On the water surface, the Tartars are undoubtedly not good, but when they go to land, if they want to compete with the Tartars for their strengths and weaknesses, Lei Dayi, Shang Kexi, no one has the courage and no one has the confidence. The failure to reinforce Zhenjiang Fortress means that the fall of Zhenjiang Fortress and the fall of Zhenjiang Fortress means that the failure of His Majesty the Emperor's layout, which means that the failure of the war on these thousands of miles of fronts is undoubtedly another Sarhu. The situation that His Majesty the Emperor has made after great hardships immediately takes a sharp turn for the worse. This is undoubtedly something they cannot bear, and it is undoubtedly something they cannot afford.

Shang Kexi and Lei Dayong both looked terrible red.

"Two, I'll ask if it will rain in the past few days. If I can be sure it will rain in the past few days, it would be better. If it doesn't work, then let's find a way." Peter was frightened by the terrifying faces of these two people and found an excuse to go out.

Peter went out, and even the monk Lei Dayong ignored him.

The situation is already very critical.

"At most three days, three days later, if there is no rain, then I have to take the reinforcements up and go to Linjiang Village first. If it does not rain, I will go ashore. Even if I die, I have to climb to Zhenjiang Fort..." Lei Dayong was under tremendous pressure and had no good idea, so I could only make the worst plan.

"Okay, I'll call more brothers from Dongjiang Town to gather more warships, and there will be warships and merchant ships that transport supplies. We will pull all the brothers that can be pulled up and transport them all to Linjiang Village, and fight to the death with the Tartars..." Shang Kexi's bright red face was ferocious and terrifying, and was under tremendous pressure, thinking of fighting to the death.

...

Zhenjiang Castle.

It's almost dusk.

Zhang Heng stood on the city wall, holding the Qianli Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Miles Mi

"Staff Officer Zhang, what's the situation?" Mao Wenlong received the news and also went up to the city wall to observe the situation. Seeing that Staff Officer Zhang was observing, he immediately came over and asked.

"Master, the situation is not good!" Zhang Heng frowned and said lightly.

"Why is it a bad method?" Mao Wenlong asked, his eyes staring at the already blurred crossing team. The sky was already dark and I could no longer see clearly.

"Master, the time is here to test Zhenjiang Fort!" Zhang Heng frowned and said calmly.

"Oh, how did you say this?" Mao Wenlong asked, unable to see the situation in the distance, and was shrouded in the night.

"Master, according to the observation of the officials, these people are the Korean people captured by the Tartars. Looking at the number of people, it is estimated that there are about a few thousand. Judging from the number of Tartars coming back, the Tartars have returned a small number. In other words, there are more Tartars arresting people in North Korea. Master, if at night, the Tartars encircle the Koreans to attack the city, can we tell the difference? Or just attack the city during the day, what can we do?" Zhang Heng said lightly.

"This..." Mao Wenlong frowned. Zhang Heng's words were enough to make him understand the danger of the matter. A large number of Koreans participated in the siege. No matter how many Tartars there were, they would not fight back and had to continue grenades. Then, the Tartars could soon consume all the grenades in Zhenjiang Fort with the large number of Koreans, and more than half of the grenades in Zhenjiang Fort have been consumed.

There was a silent silence above the city. The last moment? Yes! It has arrived. Mao Wenlong looked at the red clouds in the sky and seemed to have understood something in his heart.

...

Huang Taiji also stood on the hillside, holding a thousand-mile mirror, watching the situation where Koreans cross the river in the distance.

"Xian Dou! Your method is indeed good. With so many Koreans, we can attack the city day and night. If Mao Wenlong thinks, he will definitely not be able to distinguish the authenticity and will definitely remain grenades desperately. Hahaha, once the grenades are exhausted, it will not be difficult for us to capture Zhenjiang Fort!" Huang Taiji looked at the groups of Koreans crossing the river in the distance and said happily.

"Shank you! This is all Wen Cheng should do..." Fan Wencheng rode his horse, followed Huang Taiji, and said in a low voice.

"Haha, Xiandou is really Zhuge of Ben Khan! Once this plan is made, Mao Wenlong has no way to live!" Huang Taiji was in a very good mood. This time he besieged Zhenjiang Fort, he was 70% or 80% sure. He just waited for the North Koreans to consume all the grenades in Zhenjiang Fort, and then the war could end. Killing Mao Wenlong would undoubtedly be a considerable victory.

"The Khan has been awarded too much..." Fan Wencheng said.

"..., Xiandou doesn't need to be so humble. Xiandou deserves this sentence!... By the way, what about Mao Wenlong's warships downstream of the Yalu River?" Huang Taiji asked again. Last time, the warships in Zhenjiang Fort directly collided against him on the river surface, which gave Huang Taiji a very deep impression. That kind of force of thousands of pounds cannot be resisted by human power, so today's question was caused.

"Wen Cheng has asked, "Mao Wenlong's warships can only reach Linjiang Village at most. After the river crosses Linjiang Village, it will immediately become wider and deeper. Our Dajin's riding and shooting can no longer reach the warships. Therefore, most of Mao Wenlong's warships gathered below Linjiang Village and came up from time to time. Because the river surface is narrow, it was quickly beaten back by my Dajin..." Fan Wencheng replied that it was a last resort to block the river surface with riding and shooting. It was not a good thing to fight with people and warships. Although blocking the river surface can allow Dajin to calmly cross the river upstream and transport North Koreans, it also paid a considerable price. Of course, this price seems worth it now.

"Haha, that's great. As long as there are a few days when the North Koreans catch them, the matter of blocking the river will not be so urgent. Instead, it can be slowed down. In the past few days, this will only be the case..." Huang Taiji said with a smile, looking at the North Koreans who kept crossing the river in the distance, as if victory was already in sight.

"Khan, Wen Cheng has a saying that he doesn't know whether to say it or not..." Fan Wencheng was always a little uneasy. Where did this uneasy come from? He could not touch it vaguely, but that uneasy told him that it was dangerous.

"Oh, hehe, Xiandou just say, what can you and my monarch and ministers not say?" Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"Khan, Wen Cheng always felt a little uneasy. Perhaps Wen Cheng's plan was a bit omitted, but the civil officials could never find the missing place..." Fan Wencheng still expressed the uneasiness in his heart.

"Oh, this..." Huang Taiji asked in confusion, not knowing what Fan Wencheng said to him now.
