At this time, the Ming army had already stopped steadily one mile outside the south gate of Lianshan Pass.

Li Yuanqing rode on a tall and strong war horse, slowly took off his raincoat and cloak, and looked at this majestic Guancheng with great interest.

The wall of Lianshanguan is about 11 to 12 meters long, running from east to west and from north to south. It looks very majestic against the backdrop of the majestic twilight.

Different from ordinary cities, the city wall of Lianshanguan was built according to the terrain, as if carved into two hills, but it seemed to have been integrated with the hills.

A large river, almost forty to fifty meters wide, is completely made of living water, flowing slowly under the wall. It is simply a natural moat.

"Damn, this city is really not bad."

Chen Zhong couldn't help but admire him, looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "Yuan Qing, I'm afraid this is a tough guy."

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "It is indeed a great pass in Liaodong. If it weren't for the financial resources of the imperial court, ordinary people would not be able to build it! It's a pity that such a good thing fell into the hands of the dog Tatars."

Chen Zhong nodded with deep understanding, "The erosion of the Liao land is like a painful pain. Yuan Qing, this moat is too wide. It has been raining continuously in the past few days. The water in the river may have risen a lot. We think it will not be easy to get through."

.Especially, there isn’t much time left for us.”

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled: "Brother, only when it is difficult can you be passionate. If it is not difficult, what's the point of it?"

At this time, on the wall of Lianshan Pass in front, someone was shouting in Chinese at the top of his lungs: "Li Yuanqing, you bastard! You dare to be so reckless and run to our Lianshanguan City! You really deserve to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"

Ah! If you are sensible, kneel down and kowtow a hundred times right now, and my master will forgive your sins and leave you a whole body. Otherwise, you will be skinned, cramped, and chopped alive!"

"You're a fucking bitch, you're really looking for death!"

"Dog Tartars, when our brothers break the city, they will leave no chickens or dogs behind!"

"You damn Tatars, I'm going to tear your heads off and play them with balls..."

This man was so arrogant that he dared to insult Li Yuanqing in person, which immediately caused a commotion in the Ming army formation and endless curses.

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and an unspeakable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He has traveled across the vast land for so many years, and this is the first time that when he meets such an interesting person, he starts to curse before he even starts.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to signal the boys to be quiet.

Immediately, the originally turbulent Ming army quickly calmed down. Only the horses under their crotches were snoring constantly due to exhaustion from running around.

At this time, Kong Youde, who was not far from Li Yuanqing, had an extremely serious expression on his face, like an eagle, staring straight at the man shouting in the direction of Lianshan Pass.

Li Yuanqing also noticed the look on Kong Youde's face.

As a general, having eyes to see six directions and ears to listen to all directions are the most basic qualities.

Not to mention, he was a confidant of Li Yuanqing like Kong Youde.

"What? Xiao Kong, do you know the person who shouted?"

Li Yuanqing looked at Kong Youde with a smile.

It took Kong Youde a moment to react, and he hurriedly raised his hands respectfully and said: "General, this person's name is Shi Yuan. As soon as I heard that voice, I recognized him! It can't be wrong! Even if this bastard turns to ashes, I will never admit his mistake.

!Back then, the reason why Beizhong and my father fled from Tieling in embarrassment was because this bastard went to report a letter to the Tatars! What a shame, my father tried to cover Beizhi's escape, but... even, even Xiaoya, Xiaoya also

He was robbed by this bastard!!!"

As Kong Youde spoke, tears flowed out of his eyes. The endless regret made his eyes almost burst into flames.

Everyone around him was a little surprised for a moment.

Kong Youde was Li Yuanqing's first-rate general at this time. He was deeply trusted by Li Yuanqing and had made numerous military exploits.

In everyone's ordinary memory, Kong Youde was calm and courageous. Especially when fighting, he would hardly involve any personal feelings and would never be swayed by personal feelings. It can be said that he was the most stable general in the Changsheng Camp.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he...

Li Yuanqing was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Kong Youde would have such a big mood swing. Fortunately, he discovered it early. Otherwise, something might have happened.

"Xiaokong, a real man, why are you crying?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and whipped Kong Youde with a horsewhip. Of course, the force was not very strong. "Men, don't ask where they came from! No one is born from his mother's womb, but he is a warrior who can be defeated by ten thousand enemies! If we lost before, let's fight back!"

Woman, let’s just snatch her back!”

Why didn't Kong Youde understand what Li Yuanqing meant at this time?

He hurriedly wiped away his tears, clasped his fists respectfully and said: "General's teachings, I will always remember them in my heart! It's just that, General, I want to be the vanguard of the siege this time!"

Li Yuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "Okay. But we have to sort things out first!"

With that said, Li Yuanqing said to Chen Zhong: "Brother, let the fire soldiers bury the pots and cook, while the other men prepare to attack the city. In half an hour, the army will attack the city. Try to capture Lianshan Pass within an hour!"

"yes!"

At this moment, it was like pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. Chen Zhong did not dare to neglect and hurriedly directed his men to get busy.

The fire soldiers were well prepared for fighting in this kind of weather. They and their horses were carrying a large amount of charcoal, and the sparks could be attracted without much effort at all.

Not long after, smoke rose from the Ming army's temporary camp.

The other men quickly cut down the surrounding moso bamboos and built simple rafts.

Li Yuanqing was not afraid at all that these dog Tatars would dare to come out and attack the Ming army's battle formation. Two hundred musketry generals and fifty pitchers had already packed up their weapons and were waiting for these dog Tatars to come out.

Soon, the hot broth in the big pot began to boil, and the men came over to eat in an orderly manner.

In such weather, if you eat a bowl of hot soup with ginger slices, big bones, fat meat, and fat, your whole body will immediately sweat and your whole body will feel warm.

Even on top of Shangguan City, Baiyin Atu's nose was almost crooked with anger.

"Li Yuanqing, this bitch, is really, really brave! He actually dares to eat in such a arrogant manner in front of the young master! Does he really think that the young master is a piece of mud and is worthless? Come on?

Man, let me send warriors out of the city and chop this bastard Li Yuanqing alive!"

Next to him, Ishihara and several real slaves hurriedly grabbed Baiyin Atu who was about to explode.

Shi Yuan hurriedly said: "Master, we, we must not be impulsive at this time. Li Yuanqing is a world-famous general after all. This is our territory, we have the advantage of the city, we just need to fight slowly and defend the city.

It’s over.”

"Yes, yes. Master, this thief Li Yuanqing is very cunning and insidious. If this is Li Yuanqing's trap and our warriors suffer losses, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

"..."

After hearing the dissuasion from the servants around him, Baiyin Atu also calmed down a bit.

He doesn't have much war experience, and he can sit on the throne of Lianshan Pass Commander-in-Chief entirely because of his sister's influence.

Although he is a dandy, he still knows how much he weighs.

This thief, Li Yuanqing, is his brother-in-law, the master-level eldest Beile Mang Gurtai, who has fallen into ashes in front of Li Yuanqing. Not to mention, he is a little chick like him.

"Okay! Since everyone said so, I will let this bitch Li Yuanqing live a little longer! All warriors, please listen to me. Wait, as long as Li Yuanqing's people dare to come up, they will all be given to me.

I'm going to die! I must let this thief Li Yuanqing understand that this world still belongs to me, Da Jin!! He, a despicable Chinese dog, can only be a slave to me!!"

"My master is so wise!"

"My master is mighty..."

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running away.

Although he has no experience in commanding troops, Baiyin Atu is a Jurchen after all. He has been in battle, so he naturally understands the importance of military morale.

To inspire soldiers, he still doesn’t need anyone else to teach him.

At this time, seeing that his military morale had risen, Baiyin Atu waved his hand hurriedly, "Shiyuan! Send me my military order! Tell those cooks and slaves to kill more pigs and sheep and stew them all in the big pot for me!

Once this thief Li Yuanqing is eliminated, I will reward the three armies!"

"You are so wise!"

The surrounding Tatars were overjoyed and their military morale was greatly boosted.

By this time, the Ming army had finished their meal.

In this kind of emergency, it is natural not to be too particular. Two or three bowls of hot soup and a few dry biscuits to fill the stomach and supplement the calories are enough.

If you want to eat and drink well, once you enter the city, you will have everything.

At this time, Chen Zhong quickly came to Li Yuanqing's side and said, "Yuan Qing, everything is ready. However, if we want to build a pontoon bridge, we must first ensure the firepower."

A city such as Lianshanguan is definitely a natural chasm for the ordinary Ming army. If there are not tens of thousands of people, it will be difficult to break through for several months.

But to Li Yuanqing and the men of the Changsheng Camp, this was nothing to worry about.

Even if it is the Heavenly Palace in the sky, with the powerful firepower support of the Changsheng Camp, it is guaranteed to allow them to 'take a plane' and travel to the West for free...

However, this wide river has become the biggest obstacle to the Ming army at this time.

However, the engineering skills of the Changsheng Battalion have long been very proficient. Even if there are not these moso bamboos around, it is not too difficult to build a pontoon bridge.

Not to mention, there are also the help of these moso bamboos.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Order the men with shields and thick armor to cover in front, suppress the cannon fire, and the pitchers also press forward to ensure the intensity of the firepower! Within a quarter of an hour, the pontoon bridge must be erected!"

"yes!"

At this time, Chen Zhong fully assumed the role of Li Yuanqing's adjutant and hurriedly shouted to his subordinates to go to the front and get busy.

Soon, as the strong men holding broad shields and wearing thick armor pressed forward, the cannon soldiers behind them took up their positions, and the pitchers also pressed forward, the Ming army system quickly took shape.

The most important engineers and generals also quickly followed.
