Chapter 160: The Slave and the Dog
When the enemy attacked, the musketeers got up and fired back, and after the enemy retreated, the crossbow guns came again, and everyone continued to hide in the trenches, and when the crossbow attack was over, everyone lay down on the trenches and shot downwards......
The cycle goes on and on, and it seems that there is no end to it.
Li Dingguo's ability to lead the army is not bad, but when it comes to this almost boring tactic, he has not summed up too much useful information until now.
Jiannu pushed the giant shield up the hill slowly, and would be blown up by the rolling grenades, and if Jiannu wanted to advance quickly, he would be densely shot by muskets, and when the enemy transported the crossbow to the position and fired, everyone would hide in the trench and watch the crossbow guns pass overhead.
As a result, war became a game in Li Dingguo's eyes.
In fact, this kind of war situation really reflects Yun Zhao's tactical level - his understanding of war all comes from his own understanding of the game.
In this kind of ideologically guided war, the current situation of see-saw has naturally formed.
If the opposite Jizig can't change his tactics, or bring a large attack weapon such as a trebuchet, with the equipment of Li Dingguo and others, they can hold this place for a year.
This is a problem that Zizig has never encountered.
It was also the first time that Li Dingguo fought in this way.
Seeing the rout of Jizige, Li Dingguo did not leave the trench to chase after him, he has seen a lot of such a situation, seeing that the strong attack could not be carried out, he pretended to be defeated to attract the enemy to pursue, and then turned back to fight with the enemy, the two sides of the people and horses mixed together, which can greatly weaken the advantage of occupying the advantageous side, if you can defeat the pursuing enemy, you can even escape back to the fortifications with the opponent, and then achieve the goal of seizing.
He often does this kind of thing, that is, he can deceive the officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard, and in the face of an enemy like Jiannu, Li Dingguo has no carelessness.
Sure enough, Jizige retreated less than fifty zhang, and seeing that Li Dingguo and they had no intention of jumping out to pursue, they stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Looking back at the dirt bag, which was not a mountain, Zizig was annoyed and angry.
This time, they got a lot of thick wooden planks to block in front of everyone, and found a lot of large square tables, covered them with quilts, and after loess, they attacked the mountain bag again.
I have to say that Jizige's method still worked, and once advanced to the front twenty steps of the ditch defended by the Blue Sky Army.
The bird can't penetrate these thick planks, nor can it penetrate the large square tables covered with quilts and loess, and even the grenades can only blow up the Jizig's formation a little chaotically.
Li Dingguo held the long pole that he snatched from the team's forehand, and saw the situation outside clearly through the mirror at the top of the long pole.
When Jizig was about to give the order to attack with bows and arrows, the turf on the left and right sides was lifted, and a dense burst of gunfire rang out from the left and right sides.
The artillery began to bombard the camp wall again, and this time several shells fell into the camp, and it didn't take much effort for these solid shells to be placed in front of Yue Tuo and the others.
Lu Xiangsheng had gone 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 a decisive battle, and did not retreat at all, but took the initiative to shout to Du Du and ask for battle.
Once Du Du stopped approaching, Lu Xiangsheng's troops would slowly retreat, keeping a mile away from Du Du, which was the distance at which the cavalry wanted to fully charge, and the strange thing was that it was us who had the advantage in the cavalry. ”
Yue Tuo flicked the heavy cannonball, and said: "The battle in the Ma'anshan part seems to be fierce, but in fact, it does not hurt the overall situation, after all, Ma'anshan is too small, even if it is close to our army's camp, the number of people is too small to want to raid us is purely a dream."
Our sentinels have been running out for sixty miles, and they have not found a large force of the enemy approaching, what are they trying to do? ”
Du Du was not there, Yue Tuo was naturally a man of his word in the army, and although there were many generals under his account, no one dared to speak at this time.
Fan Wencheng arched his hand and said: "Baylor, in the view of the minions, whether it is Ma'anshan or Lu Xiangsheng in the north direction, it seems that they are luring us to take the initiative to leave the camp, the minions think that it is not easy to move, and now, the minions are contacting the Mongolian princes here, if these people can be used by us, the mysterious Lantian City has no secrets for us."
Baylor, it's better to be still than to be still. “
Yue Tuo shook his head and said: "People have calculated that we will move, Wen Chenggong, our food and grass are not enough, and it will not be good for us to stay here for a long time."
It is still possible to make a proper move, and I am ready to send a large army to the north, and I have heard that the crops west of the Yanghe River will be harvested in half a month.
It's important for us to replenish some food. “
Fan Wencheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Baylor, the reason why Lantian City will take away the grain storage in Zhangjiakou and exterminate Fan Xiaoshan and others before Baylor arrives, the reason is probably not so simple, the slave thinks that Yun Zhao's plot against me in the Qing Dynasty Naturalization City is not an overnight thing, at least it has been prepared for three years.
The slave has been sleepless all these days and sorted out all the news related to Lantian County, and finally came to a conclusion that Yun Zhao never does things that he is not sure of, and this person has an extreme preference for conspiracies and tricks.
A person who prefers intrigue and intrigue must not be very heroic, which is the old saying that a wise soldier is not brave.
Lantian County still refused to raise the banner to rebel in such a powerful situation, but was the best in paying taxes every year, and tolerated the imperial court everywhere, no matter how harsh the oppressive conditions promulgated by the imperial court, they did not seem to complain.
Yun Zhao's strength lies in governing the place, and his reputation in this area is well-known all over the world, but there are not many places worth mentioning about the soldiers and horses in Lantian County.
Baylor, this further confirms the minion's guess - Lantian County is not strong in soldiers and horses, perhaps this is the reason why Yun Zhao tolerated the Ming court in every way.
When they came to Saishang, in addition to fighting for righteousness, the slaves and maids thought that recruiting Mongols into the Blue Sky Army was also an important reason.
The minions contacted some of the Mongol princes, and they all said that the biggest horse thief in the steppe, Battelmerin, might have taken refuge in Yunzhao.
Therefore, the slave thought that Yun Zhao was ready to use these Mongols into the Central Plains to help him fight the world, and his intentions could not be described as vicious. ”
Yue Tuo smiled: "In that case, Wen Chenggong, do you think it is possible for Yun Zhao to use those Mongols he recruited to fight against us?" ”
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Mongols have never won a victory in the battle against my Qing Dynasty, and they have no victory in front of Prince Shuorui before, and the slave thinks that it is the same in front of Beile."
What a slave can think of, Yun Zhao's kind of hero can't be unexpected, he can't send the Mongols who were scared by my Qing Dynasty to attack us, if he does that, the slave thinks it's self-defeating. ”
Yue Tuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard Fan Wencheng's words, not only Yue Tuo laughed alone, but also the big and small generals in the military tent laughed together.
Some of the generals who participated in the pursuit of Lin Dan Khan even smiled and leaned back, panting to share their past achievements with their colleagues.
They seem to have forgotten Lu Xiangsheng not far away, and Li Dingguo, who is making Jijige disgraced on Ma'anshan.
Eighty miles north of Zhangjiakou, Luomagou is a lively scene of people neighing and barking at this time, countless cavalry like wolves have gathered to Luomagou, long carriages, camel caravans loaded with countless materials have also concentrated in Luomagou.
Yun Zhao sat on a snow-white rock, witnessed the glorious scene of the gathering of the cavalry, and couldn't help but say 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, but I didn't expect this guy to be a captain for two years, and he actually had some ideas of his own."
You also know how terrible it is for a dog to have an idea of his own, and it must be killed.
Ah Zhao, why do you say that the hearts of people in this world do not have a time of satisfaction?
Even though I have snuffed out all hopes, Battle can actually find himself again from the pleasure that power brings him, and the impact of power on people is really terrible. ”
Yun Zhao smiled: "Since you have made a decision, I support it, by the way, you haven't told me until now, how you controlled Battle." ”
Qian Shaoshao said: "I used to think that when I was young, the most thing I did in Mingyue Tower was to hand whips to the old bustard to punish those strong women.
I have seen countless women who are three chastity and nine fierce, under that leather whip, from fierce to stubborn, to bent on death, to die better than to live, to forget what they insist on, to begin to give up on themselves, and finally to the flattering old bustard to introduce her to more golden benefactors.
After seeing a lot, I think human nature can be changed, so I tried it on Battle, but the intensity is far greater than that of the old bustard in Mingyuelou, and you have seen the final results.
Now Battle hates me to the bone marrow, and I am afraid to the bone marrow, and now Battle still feels afraid of me.
In another year or two, if he wins two more battles, I think it's time for this guy to turn against me. ”
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Shaoshao with a smile and said: "You will play less with human nature in the future, human nature is the most complex and difficult thing in the world, this time you are very sure, I am worried that you may be ruined in this matter next time."
I'll tell you one more thing, your sister wants me to ask for your opinion. ”
Qian Shaoshao said with a smile: "I don't think I will have a chance to play so big in the future, it depends on the situation, what did my sister ask you to bring me?"
She is in charge of my personal affairs, I have no opinion. ”
"Won't you listen to what your sister is going to do?"
Qian Shaoshao looked in the direction of Lantian County and said slowly: "She is my only flesh-and-blood relative in this world, she also respects the four words of flesh and blood, and my parents are also worthy of these four words, so, Ah Zhao, I must also be worthy of these four words."
It's probably the only thing I'm going to stick to in my life.
You just tell my sister, whatever she wants me to do, I'll do it, no two words! ”
