Chapter 111 Burning grain

This day.

Just night.

He Xuan walked out of the horse circle, and two thousand households, Su Ding and Li Jie, came towards him.

The top leader Su Ding held He Xuan's shoulder and said, "Brother, go, go, go with me to a place."

"Where do you go?" He Xuan was a little confused.

"You'll know when you go."

"Anyway, it must be a good place. Can we both harm you?" Li Jie Qianhu said with a chuckling smile beside him.

Su Ding and Li Jie pulled He Xuan and walked towards the city. They arrived at a corner in the southeast. There was a little more purity and not so many people. Not far away, there was a three-story building with the words Ruyifang written on it. The laughter of Wen Xiang Jieyu came from the inside of the building.

"This?" He Xuan couldn't help but be stunned: "This seems to be a brothel."

"Yes, it's the brothel. Brother He, life is short, you don't have to bear all the pressure on yourself. If you have any anger in your heart, just vent your anger to the girl, and you don't have to vent your vent. With Brother He, your appearance and reputation must be a romantic figure in the brothel, and girls will pay you back." Li Jie and Li Qianhu said.

"Don't worry, this Ruyifang is the highest-end brothel in Songshan City. The girls inside are quite expensive, so ordinary soldiers cannot afford them. These girls are pretty clean. And they have many methods, so they will make you comfortable." Su Ding and Su Qianhu patted his chest: "This is the best brothel I chose, and I am also looking for the most expensive girl in it."

He Xuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. After a long time, they thought that they were psychopathic and had too much psychological pressure, so they brought themselves to find girls. They were just for the sake of negative emotions. But they couldn't say this, so they could only smile helplessly: "I really have no interest in brothels."

"I've come here, I have to go and see it anyway." Su Ding hurriedly advised.

"Yes. The girl inside is really amazing. I drooled when I saw it. What I wanted to do was Brother Su, who insisted on leaving it to you, Brother He." Li Jie Qianhu also joined in the persuasion.

At this moment, the fire rose in the northeast direction, and instantly ignited the sky over there.

"That direction is not very good." Su Ding said with a somewhat ugly expression.

"It's really not good." Li Jie Qianhu also forgot to pull He Xuan to the brothel at this moment, and said with a somewhat ugly expression.

"What's going on? What's wrong with that direction?" He Xuan asked.

"There is a Bijia Mountain in that place, next to the city wall to the east. The environment inside our Songshan City is a bit narrow, so most of the food is stored in Bijia Mountain. Of course, 20,000 troops were also used to guard it. Hong Tianming, the confidant general of the Hong Emperor, went to guard it. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Songshan can go to support it at any time, so we are quite at ease. However, looking at this, a fire broke out in Bijia Mountain. I am afraid that the Tartars took the opportunity to attack and burned our food in Bijia Mountain." Su Ding said with a ugly expression.

He Xuan's expression changed when he heard this.

When the two armies were in a stalemate, what they feared the most was that they had no food.

Whichever side is robbed of food, it is basically a must-have on which side.

For example, in the Battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms era, Yuan Shao had a lot of troops and attacked Cao Cao, which was the upper hand at the beginning. However, at that time, Cao Cao applied a plan and sent people to Wuchao to burn Yuan's army's food. After that, Yuan's army was disorganized and was finally defeated by Cao Cao.

"It's hard, it's hard. Our army could not defeat the Qing army. With He Shen General there, he could barely kill the opponent's cannon. But if the food and grass were burned out, it would be really over." Li Jie Qianhu also shook his head.

Su Ding suddenly had a whim: "Brother, aren't you a god general? You can shoot the enemy six hundred steps away. Can you suddenly bring rain and directly extinguish the fire?"

He Xuan's mouth twitched: "You think I am a god. I am just a little stronger than normal people and faster than normal people."

If it were normal, Su Ding would have made fun of it. But seeing that the food and grass were burned out like this, he no longer had the intention to make fun of it.

"Do you want to put out the fire?" He Xuan asked.

"I guess people will be sent to rescue me, but the Qing army is also outside the city. They will take the opportunity to harass me. Seeing that the fire is strong, the wind is as fierce as a monster tonight. If the wind takes advantage of the fire, it probably won't be able to save the fire." Su Ding shook his head.

...

Two hours later.

The Supreme Military Conference of Songshan City was launched.

The meeting was chaired by the Superintendent Hong Chengchou.

Those who participated in the meeting were Wang Pu, General of Datong, Yang Guozhu, General of Xuanfu, Tang Tong, General of Miyun, Bai Guangen, General of Jizhen, General of Anhui Association, Cao Bianjiao, General of Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke, General of Qiantun Guard, Wang Tingchen, General of Ningyuan, Wu Sangui, and other middle- and senior officers.

When He Xuan broke in, the meeting had not started yet, but everyone's expression was not very good.

Seeing that everyone was together, Hong Chengchou coughed lightly: "The news came just now. Li Yan, the deputy general of Hong Tianming who was guarding Bijia Mountain, was a traitor. This man sent Hong Tianming away, took the lead in setting fires, and burned the food of Bijia Mountain. Today is a strong wind, and the fire is burning very fast, and there is no time to save us. Our military rations are over."

"What should I do?" When Datong General Wang Pu spoke, his face was a little pale and his calves were shaking. Although the generals of other people had nepotism, they mostly climbed up after fighting countless battles. But only Wang Pu, who was too rich at home, and his father was also a high-ranking official, so he sat in this position at a young age and never fought many battles at all. He was still a playboy-like person.

In comparison, the other seven generals were much more solemn, and they had already thought of several possibilities.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "It is not possible for the army to have no food. Now our army's food is only reserved for the city, which is only enough for seven days at most. Moreover, the matter of burning food is burned and burned, and it is impossible to hide it. The soldiers below also know that. Now, we have no other way, only one way, fight to the death!"

"Shou dies, and if you don't fight, you will die. Tonight, everyone will go back and do some mobilization work to their officers and their subordinates."

"Tomorrow, we will leave Songshan City and fight to the death with the Qing army."

“This is also the only chance.”

"If you are lucky enough to temporarily defeat the Qing army, you can return to Ningyuan, where there is food and grass."

"I'm the suggestion, what do you think?"

"No problem. Now I can only fight hard." Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuanfu, nodded and said, "He is a man who fights old wars and agrees with this view."

"I agree, too." General Tang Tong, the general of Miyun, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "This is indeed the only way now."

The other generals nodded in agreement.

"I...I agree too." Datong General Wang Pu said with a few trembling voices.

Hong Chengchou looked at He Xuan: "He Shen General, where are you?"

"I came here to kill the Tartars. I will go to bed first when I go back today. I will have the energy to kill the Tartars tomorrow." He Xuan responded calmly.

Tomorrow will be a duel that gathers more than 200,000 Ming and Qing soldiers.

If you are alone, you will probably be able to kill a thousand people in the end. In such a big showdown, you can't do much.

Tomorrow, I can only try my best to see if I can hunt down some senior Qing army officials.
