When the enemy attacked, the gunmen stood up and fought back. After the enemy retreated, the crossbows came again, and everyone continued to hide in the trenches. After the crossbow attack was over, everyone lay down on the trenches and shot down...
This cycle goes on and on, seemingly with no end.
Li Dingguo's ability to lead an army is not bad, but when it comes to this almost boring tactic, he has not summarized much useful information until now.
Jiannu slowly pushes the giant shield up the mountain, and will be blown up by the rolling grenades. If Jiannu wants to advance quickly, he will be shot at intensively by muskets. He waits for the enemy to transport the crossbow to the position. When it was fired, everyone would hide in the trenches and watch the crossbows pass overhead.
As a result, the war became a game in Li Dingguo's eyes.
In fact, such a war situation truly reflects Yun Zhao's tactical level - all his understanding of war comes from his own understanding of the game.
In this kind of ideologically guided war, it is natural to form the current tug-of-war situation.
If Jijige on the opposite side cannot change their tactics or bring large offensive weapons such as trebuchets, with the equipment of Li Dingguo and others, they can hold on here for a year.
This is a problem Jizige has never encountered before.
It was also the first time for Li Dingguo to fight in this way.
Seeing Jijige's defeat, Li Dingguo did not leave the trenches to pursue him. He had seen this kind of situation many times. Seeing that he could no longer attack by force, he pretended to be defeated to attract the enemy to pursue him, and then turned back to fight the enemy. , the two parties are mixed together, which can greatly weaken the advantage of the party occupying the geographical location. If it can defeat the pursuing enemy, it can even force the opponent to escape back to the fortifications, and then achieve the purpose of seizing it.
He often did this kind of thing, that is, he could deceive the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Guards. Facing enemies like Jiannu, Li Dingguo was not careless.
Sure enough, Jijige retreated less than fifty feet. Seeing that Li Dingguo and the others had no intention of jumping out to pursue them, they stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Looking back at this dirt bag that was not a mountain, Jijige became angry with shame.
This time, they got a lot of thick wooden boards and blocked them in front of everyone. They also found a lot of large square tables, covered them with quilts and loess, and then launched another attack on the mountain.
It has to be said that Jijige's method worked, and at one point he advanced to twenty steps in front of the Haogou defended by the Blue Sky Army.
Cannons cannot penetrate these thick wooden boards, nor can they penetrate the large square tables covered with quilts and loess. Even grenades can only make Jijige's formation chaotic.
Li Dingguo held up the long pole he took from the team leader and could clearly see the situation outside through the mirror on the top of the pole.
When Jizige was about to give the order to attack with bows and arrows, the turf on the left and right sides was opened, and a burst of intense gunfire sounded from the left and right sides.Under fierce musket attacks from both sides, the Jianzhou people once again retreated in panic.
The artillery began to bombard the camp wall again. This time, several shells fell into the camp. In a short time, these solid shells were placed in front of Yue Tuo and others.
"Lu Xiangsheng went crazy on the other side of Zhangjiakou City. Du Du led 6,000 people to approach repeatedly, but Lu Xiangsheng showed that he wanted to fight decisively, and did not retreat at all. Instead, he took the initiative to confront Du Du clamored for battle.
Once Du Du stopped approaching, Lu Xiangsheng's troops would slowly retreat and stay within one mile of Du Du. This was the distance that the cavalry wanted to charge completely. , we have the upper hand with the cavalry."
Yue Tuo moved the heavy cannonball and said: "The battle in Ma'anshan seems fierce, but it actually does not harm the overall situation. After all, Ma'anshan is too small. It is a sudden attack on our army camp. There are too few people and it is a dream to attack us.
Our sentinels have traveled sixty miles and have not found any large groups of enemies approaching. What do you want to do?"
With Du Du absent, Yue Tuo naturally kept his word in the army. Although there were many generals under his command, no one dared to say anything at this time.
Fan Wencheng raised his hand and said: "Baylor, in my opinion, both Ma'anshan and Lu Xiangsheng in the north seem to be tempting us to leave the camp voluntarily. I think we should not move out easily. Now, I am here." Contact the Mongolian princes here. If these people can be used by us, the mysterious Lantian City will have no secrets from us.
Beile, a movement is worse than a silence. "
Yue Tuoyao. He shook his head and said: "People have predicted that we will move. Wen Chenggong, our food and grass are not enough. It will not be good for us to stay here for a long time.
It is okay to move appropriately. I am going to send a large army to go north. I heard that the crops west of Yanghe will be harvested in another half month.
It is very important for us to add some food. "
Fan Wencheng quickly raised his hands and said: "Baylor, the reason why Lantian City took away Zhangjiakou's grain reserves and exterminated Fan Xiaoshan and others before Baylor arrived is probably not that simple. I think this is because Yun Zhao is plotting against me. Guihua City is not something that happens overnight. It has been prepared for at least three years.
The slave has been staying up all night to sort out all the news related to Lantian County, and finally came to a conclusion. Yun Zhao is here. People never do things they are not sure of, and this person is extremely fond of intrigues.
A person who is partial to intrigues will inevitably not be very brave. This is the old saying that a wise soldier cannot be brave.
Lantian County still refused to raise a flag to rebel despite being so powerful. Instead, it ranked first in the Ming Dynasty in paying taxes every year and was tolerant to the court. No matter how harsh the conditions for oppression were promulgated by the court, None of them seemed to complain.
Yun Zhao's strength lies in local governance, and his reputation in this aspect is world-renowned. However, the soldiers and horses of Lantian County are not.Not much to write home about.
Baylor, this further confirms the slave's guess - Lantian County's soldiers and horses are not strong. Perhaps this is the reason why Yun Zhao tolerated the Ming Dynasty court in every possible way.
They came to the fortress. In addition to fighting for justice, the slave thought that recruiting Mongolians into the Blue Sky Army was also an important reason.
The slave has contacted some Mongolian princes, and they all said that the biggest horse thief on the grassland, Barthel Merin, might have defected to Yunzhao.
So, the slave thought that Yun Zhao was planning to recruit these Mongolians to enter the Central Plains to help him conquer the world, and his intentions were very vicious. "
Yue Tuo smiled and said: "In that case, Lord Wen Cheng, do you think it is possible for Yun Zhao to use the Mongols he recruited to fight against us? "
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Mongols have never won a victory against our Qing Dynasty. They have never won in front of Prince Shuorui before. I think the same is true in front of Baylor.
This is something that only a slave can think of. It is impossible for a hero like Yun Zhao to think of it. It is impossible for him to send the Mongols who are afraid of our Qing Dynasty to attack us. If we do that, the slave will think that it is self-destruction. . "
Yue Tuo couldn't help laughing after hearing Fan Wencheng's words. Not only Yue Tuo laughed, but all the generals and subordinates in the Manchu army also laughed.
Some of the generals who had participated in the pursuit of Lin Danhan were laughing, panting and sharing their past achievements with their colleagues.
They seemed to have forgotten Lu Xiangsheng not far away, and who was in Ma'anshan. The disgraced Li Dingguo was sent to Jijige.
At this time, there was a lively scene of people neighing and horses neighing in Luomagou, and countless cavalrymen rushed towards Luomagou like wolves. Gathering, long carriages and camel teams loaded with countless supplies also gathered towards Luomagou.
Yun Zhao sat on a snow-white rock and witnessed the glorious scene of the cavalry gathering. He couldn't help but. He said to Qian Shaoshao: "Is your decision to kill Battle a little rash? "
Qian Shaoshao said: "After this battle, I will kill Battle. I thought he was already a loyal dog under my command. I didn't expect that this guy has become a captain of ten thousand men for two years, and he actually has something of his own. idea.
You also know how terrible it would be for a dog to have a mind of its own and must be killed.
Ah Zhao, why do you think there is never a time when people’s hearts in this world are satisfied?
Even though I had killed all hope, Battelle was able to find himself again from the pleasure that power brought to him. The influence of power on people is really terrible.
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Now that you have made a decision, I support it. By the way, you still haven't told me how you controlled Battle." ”
Qian Shaoshao said: “I used to think that when I was young, the most important thing I did in Mingyue Tower was to hand whips to the old madam to punish those strong-willed women.
I have personally seen countless women with three virtues and nine virtues,Under that whip, she went from being strong to being stubborn, then to wanting to die, to living better than death, to forgetting what she insisted on, and starting to give up on herself, and finally to the flattering old madam who introduced her to more money. benefactor.
After seeing it a lot, I feel that human nature can be changed, so I tried it on Battelle, but the intensity was far greater than that of the Madam of Mingyue Tower. You have also seen the final result.
Now Battle hates me to the core of his bones, and is afraid of me to the core of his bones. Today’s Battle still feels afraid of me.
In one or two years, if he wins two more battles, I think it will be time for this guy to bite me.
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Shaoshao with a half-smile and said: "You should play less with human nature in the future. Human nature is the most complex and elusive thing in the world. This time you are very sure, and I will Worried that you might be ruined next time.
Let me tell you another thing. Your sister wants me to ask your opinion.
Qian Shaoshao smiled and said: "I probably won't have the chance to play so big in the future. It depends on the situation. What message did my sister ask you to bring me?"
As long as she decides on my personal matters, I have no objection. "
"Don't you want to listen to what your sister is going to do? "
Qian Shaoshi looked in the direction of Lantian County and said slowly: "She is my only flesh and blood relative in this world. She also deserves the words "blood and flesh relatives", and my parents also deserve this. Four words, so, Azhao, I must be worthy of these four words.
This may be the only thing I have to insist on in my life.
Just tell my sister, I will do whatever she wants me to do, no questions asked! ”
