Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 211: Clear the siege?

The sky-high fire at Yushikou burned for a whole night. The fire made the sky in a radius of ten kilometers shine red, and many people could no longer sleep. This fire is destined to affect the eyes of everyone in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the hearts of everyone.

Until dawn, a team of Qing troops from the Guangzhou Green Camp crossed the Tan River, and then sent the exact information they had probed back to the other side of the river.

The bad news came one after another. First, the fire and explosion of the drug depot in the navy camp caused most of the navy warships docked at the wharf to be damaged. Then, the large army of food and grass that had just been transported from Guangzhou was burned. Once again, the navy officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. It can no longer be established, and it can no longer undertake the task of intercepting and blocking Tan Jiang.

The news of Liang Biaoxiang's whereabouts, the general manager of the navy, was passed along among these bad news, but this news failed to make Shang Zhixin grieve, but made him violent, and he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart and roared: "Bastard. , bastard, Liang Biaoxiang is a bastard, he deserves to die for his crime, he deserves to die for a crime, I want to chop off his head, chop off his head!"

He couldn't help but get angry, it would be over if the navy was finished, but this fire destroyed not only the navy, but also the army's food and grass! Without food, what will the army eat and drink, and what will they use to besiege the city! What's even more irritating is that Liang Biaoxiang's whereabouts are unknown. God knows if the pirate ran away in fear of crime!

"The dog can't change to eat shit, the mud can't stick to the wall, Liang Biaoxiang is extremely incompetent, kill my navy, destroy my food and grass, and now I'm running away in fear of crime, I will definitely kill this person with a thousand swords! Come on, go right away Bring Liang Biaoxiang to me, and I will chop him up with my own hands!"

The generals in the tent knew that His Royal Highness was quick-tempered and prone to anger, so they were so frightened by Shang Zhixin's rage that they kept silent. Dare to say a word, lest the anger of the prince will be brought to his own head by this opening.

Now that he heard the prince's order to arrest people, the generals immediately looked at each other: Where should we arrest Liang Biaoxiang at this juncture, and what should we use to arrest him? This person was originally a pirate, unfaithful and unjust, without a king and no father. If such a big thing happened, he would be a ghost if he didn't run! Even if he didn't go to sea, what could he do with him? The two major defeats in Xinhui and Qinzhou Island in the previous episode left a navy tossed to the bottom of his family, but King Pingnan couldn't help him?

Said a thousand words and ten thousand, the robbers recruited from the sea are the monkey Sun. If they don't have enough strength, they can't handle him. And Daqing is just lacking in strength in the navy area. If it weren't for the Nanming navy who surrendered one after another and the pirates recruited from the oceans, I'm afraid the Qing army would not even be able to stand up as a navy. I didn't see that Liang Biaoxiang led the crowd to vote, whether it was the King of Pingnan or the court in Beijing. Which one didn't offer him up, and even if he was defeated, he was like nothing, why? It's not just because I don't have the ability to form sailors, and I don't have sailor generals who can show their hands!

So, this Liang Biaoxiang really ran away in fear of crime, and that was not what His Highness said to be arrested, and even if someone was sent to arrest him, no one could catch him!

The generals saw this matter thoroughly and knew that His Royal Highness was just talking out of anger, but who would dare to make it clear, saying that Your Highness, it is impossible for you to catch someone? Really said so. The thief Liang Biaoxiang didn't have bad luck, but his family was going to have bad luck first. His Royal Highness Er Lengzi has the same temperament, who can save him in this camp?

The cold field was silent, and none of the generals spoke or moved. This scene stunned Shang Zhixin for a moment, and then became even more angry. When he was about to open his mouth to curse, Zhou Yuanliang, the deputy commander of the vassal, accompanied Qin Guocheng, the military commander of his family, into the tent.

Zhou Yuanliang and Qin Guocheng were both old men who joined Shang Ke in the Qing Dynasty. Like Ban Zhifu, Xu Erxian and others, they were deeply trusted by Shang Ke. In terms of seniority, they are all uncles of Shang Zhixin. After Ban Zhifu was recalled to Guangzhou by Shang Kexi, Qin and Tuesday became the generals in the army second only to Shang Zhixin, and they were also the right-hand man whom Shang Kexi specially left for his son. There are these two. Shang Kexi is not worried about any troubles in the siege.

After Qin Guocheng and Zhou Yuanliang entered the tent, the generals in the tent breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts as if they had seen a savior. Qin Guocheng didn't look much, just from the atmosphere in the tent and the expression of His Royal Highness, he knew what happened just now, he sighed secretly, and Zhou Yuanliang stepped forward to greet the prince.

Seeing the two of them, Shang Zhixin's expression softened slightly.

Zhou Yuanliang first said: "Your Highness. I have searched carefully, and the food and grass stored in the navy has been completely burned by the fire, and I can't grab a grain of food."

Hearing this, although it was known that the food and grass brought from Guangzhou had been destroyed by the fire, Shang Zhixin's heart still trembled. Thinking of Liang Biaoxiang, who did not know his whereabouts, he could not help gnashing his teeth, but he quickly restrained his anger and asked Zhou Yuanliang calmly: " How much food is left in the army?"

Zhou Yuanliang said: "There is not much food in the army, it is only enough to last three or four days." After a while, he said: "If the people's husband's labor food is deducted, it can support two more days, but it can only be maintained for six or seven days. If there is no food supplement at that time, it is bound to run out of food.”

Hearing these words, Shang Zhixin frowned deeply, looked at Qin Guocheng, and asked him, "How long will it take for the Guangzhou side to deliver grain again?"

"This..." Qin Guocheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, the burning of food and grass by the navy was done by the prince, together with Jingfan and the Governor's Yamen. Most of them were collected from the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou, and they are now destroyed by fire. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Guangzhou to prepare so much food and grass again. Moreover, all the food and grass transfers have been carried out by the navy. Now, most of the ships of the navy have been damaged. It is impossible to transport by water. It can only be transported by land, which takes time and time. For too long, it may be difficult to deliver food before the army runs out of food."

"So, after 6 or 7 days, our army will be out of food and will not be able to relieve the siege!" Shang Zhixin was a little unwilling. The Taiping army in Xinhui City was obviously a turtle in a urn, and the food would not last long. Going to the city, but now his own food has to be cut first, how can he be reconciled! It felt as if I had clearly caught a good hand~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but found out that I was a mate.

Before coming to Qin Guocheng and Zhou Yuanliang, they had already discussed all feasible solutions, but the final answer was that it was impossible for Guangzhou to deliver food to Xinhui within six or seven days, so the only solution for now is to relieve the siege first, otherwise the army Once the food is cut off, the consequences are unimaginable.

For the safety of the army, Qin Guocheng and Zhou Yuanliang both persuaded Shang Zhixin to withdraw their troops, and the generals in the tent also spoke up, believing that the army would not be able to surround Xinhui City even if they ran out of food.

The generals' speech made Shang Zhixin extremely annoyed, and after a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "I naturally know the current situation, but we still have a way to go beyond the siege!

"

Is there another way?

Qin Guocheng and the others were stunned.

"Siege the city!" Shang Zhixin's face was hideous, "I don't believe that the thieves in the city have been surrounded by me for several months and still have the heart to hold on!" (To be continued.)
