Chapter 762: The Situation Turns!
Happy Valentine's Day, brothers and sisters~~
~~
The discovery of the coal mine is undoubtedly a super 'timely rain', which not only solves the most urgent need of the model army, but also completely stabilizes Xu Changqing's heart and brings up the momentum of the children.
It's getting dark.
The model army garrison in Quantou Village is full of blazing fires, and that kind of warm hope directly kills the snowflakes falling and the cold weather!
Xu Changqing was really dreaming at this time and was about to wake up laughing.
He also truly understood the true meaning of the local friend's phrase 'the bottom is hollowed out'.
As long as you are not unlucky, as long as you are willing to dig into the ground, you will definitely be able to dig good things.
The people of the Great Qing Kingdom think really well, and the implementation is also extremely in place, almost every detail, it is almost perfect!
However!
But they have neglected the most important one - God's love for the creatures of this land!
In particular, this coal mine is almost not much different from an open-pit mine, and even if the reserves may not be rich enough, it is enough to allow the model army to tide over the crisis, and on the contrary, to crucify the Qing army to the gallows.
……
The exuberant flames of the model army battle array soon attracted the attention of the Qing army.
After a short time, Dolgon, Dordor, Zilharan, and Daishan all came to the front line to check the situation.
Seeing that the fire of the model army battle array was obviously much worse than last night, Duoduo was already a little uncontrollable excited, licked his tongue and said: "Xu Changqing, this dog Nikan should not be able to stand it, no accident, tomorrow, he must have a big move!" I just don't know whether this dog Nikan is going to take the eastern route or the southern route! ”
Zilharang said: "Eighty percent will take the eastern front. Xu Changqing is as cunning as a fox, and he knows the risks of taking the southern route. Prince Yu, do you need everyone's support over there? ”
"This ......"
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, although he couldn't stop scolding in his heart, he smiled meaninglessly on his face: "Support is definitely needed." If Xu Changqing really wants to jump off the wall in a hurry, he will have to spend a lot of time. Second brother, not only Prince Zheng's side, but also your side should send some people over. Our brothers work together, and their profits are cut off, this time, Xu Changqing must be pressed to death! ”
Dai Shan didn't expect Duoduo to divide such a big benefit at this time, and it took a moment to come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's okay." If Xu Changqing is wiped out in this Quantou Village, I will be able to sit back and relax! ”
Seeing that Dorgon was so interested at this time, Dorgon couldn't help relaxing.
Even Duoduo is willing to give up his interests, what reason does the Great Qing Kingdom have not to win this battle?
……
Early the next morning, there were more than a dozen elite troops of the Eight Banners of True Manchuria, which were in full swing on the line of Jiuxian Mountain on the eastern front, strictly guarding against death, and preparing for the breakthrough of the model army.
Xu Changqing is also bad.
Seeing the movement of the Qing army, the model army also pretended to move, gathering a lot of troops on the Eastern Front, with great momentum and eagerness to try.
However.
waited until noon, and the model army did not make any next move, as if they were just in formation.
Dord, Zilharang, and Daishan, who had been carefully preparing for a long time, were already a little impatient.
"What's going on?"
"Xu Changqing, this dog Nikan, has broken through?"
Duoduo was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, and on such a cold day, he had already begun to sweat constantly, constantly wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead.
It is important to know that although armor is safe, the load on the body is also very serious.
Even if Duoduo's fine armor has a lot of treasures, some gold and silver, but it is at least forty or fifty pounds, and he has put on his armor early in the morning, ready to do a big job, and has been boiling until now, and the taste is not pleasant.
"Master, there seems to be something wrong with the situation."
A slave who had been staring at the model army hurriedly climbed down from the earthen wall, and said a little weakly: "Master, the model army doesn't seem to have any intention of breaking through, and their catapults and heavy ordnance haven't come up." ”
"Huh?"
Duoduo couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked a few minions to help, and also climbed the earthen wall to check.
Really.
The model army looked at the battle was not small, but the main ordnance did not move forward, and seemed to be hesitating.
Duoduo couldn't help but sneer: "Dog Nikan, now you know that you are afraid?" It's late! ”
After staring at it for a while, Duoduo confirmed his judgment more and more, Xu Changqing must have fallen into a quagmire and was in a difficult struggle.
It would be better if Xu Changqing and the Model Army did not break through today.
Because if it continues to drag down, it means that Xu Changqing has less and less room for it, even if he has the quality of a model army, he will definitely make mistakes in his busyness!
Their opportunity to clear the kingdom has come!
……
It lasted until the evening, and the model army did not break through, and although all the units of the Qing army were a little tired, they didn't care much.
Just like Duoduo's judgment, they also thought that Xu Changqing was now struggling and would not be able to hold out for a few days.
And this entanglement will inevitably pull the model army into the abyss.
But what they don't know is...... At this time, Xu Changqing was tasting the dinner cooked by the red lady with great interest......
……
One day, two days, three days......
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed, and the model army still has no intention of breaking through, although it is still pretending, it is becoming more and more restrained.
The Qing army also began to fall into embarrassment.
It's about to enter the middle of October, the snow has stopped, but the weather is getting colder and colder, and the raging north wind is like a knife, almost like a knife to cut people's faces, and the key is that the surrounding area is plain, and there is nothing to cover at all.
Even if many Qing troops are hiding behind earthen walls, there are still three sides of the wind leaking, even if many real Manchuria wrap themselves like zongzi, but in this weather a squat is a whole day, war horses can't stand it, let alone people?
This also made complaints begin to be heard in all parts of the Qing army.
There's no such way to play.
If this continues, before they can fight the model army, they will freeze to death first.
Dolgon, who had been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, was also a little breathless, and hurriedly convened a military meeting.
It's a pity that the Manchu and Mongolian royal families don't have any constructive opinions at all except scolding this ghost weather and scolding Xu Changqing.
Finally appeased them and asked them to retreat first, and Dolgon hurriedly summoned Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan and others to discuss.
"This, the regent, the minister, and the minister are also a little unsure of Xu Changqing's plan for a while. Their firewood can't hold up anymore, but where does so much fire come from at night? ”
Hong Chengchou frowned, he was really about to think out his braincase, and he really couldn't understand how Xu Changqing was playing.
Next to him, although Ning Wan was happy to see Hong Chengchou deflated, he couldn't think of a way to break the enemy for a while, so he could only frown and continue to think.
Sonny said, "Regent, isn't it...... Where did the accident happen, we didn't eat the layout of the quasi-model army? The minions heard that the hot air balloon of the Model Army needs to be driven by charcoal fire, maybe they used up the charcoal fire of the hot air balloon? ”
Dolgon's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and sighed, "No! Xu Changqing is a person who really has a unique vision and is very ruthless. The hot air balloon is his sharpest knife, how can he cut off his hands and feet? Maybe something went wrong, we didn't think about it for a while. ”
Sonny frowned and said, "Regent, our slaves have already arrived here, it's so cold, if it drags on any longer......"
Dolgon couldn't stop being irritable when he heard this, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only endure and say: "Sony, I've been bothering you for the past few days, keep an eye on that side." It is estimated that it will not be far away, and in just these two days, we will definitely see! ”
……
Just when the Qing army changed from excitement to restlessness, and then gradually turned into unrest, Xu Changqing also got more and more core information from the model army battle array.
Especially the grain and grass of the Qing army!
Although the Qing army was still very good at this time, it was still as meticulous as a 'ground mouse', but because a large number of elites gathered on the eastern front, their grain and grass began to show clues.
So many people have to eat, even if they bring it themselves in the morning, but it needs a process of convergence after all.
And this convergence process, which only appears in the morning and evening, has been captured a lot by the model army.
"Dashuai, now it can be basically determined that the grain and grass of the Tartars on the eastern front are mainly divided into three areas. One is in Xiaomagou in the north of Jiuxian Mountain, the other is in Damiao Village, which is more than ten miles away in the south of the mountain, and the third is in the south direction, on the side of Konglin, and the largest of them is on the side of Damiao Village, where there is not only grain and grass, but also a lot of horse feed......"
In the wooden shed of the command platform, Zhang Taiping, who had been promoted to the general of the army, was carefully reporting the situation to Xu Changqing.
All this information was personally explored by him in a hot air balloon.
The red lady was also a little uncontrollable and excited: "Dashuai, the time is ripe, we can strike at the Tartar first!" Let the hot air balloons prepare first tonight, and when it dawns tomorrow, they will directly sweep the dawn past and burn all the three grain and grass gathering places! When the time comes, see how the Tartar can still sit! ”
Xu Changqing glanced at the red lady angrily: "It's okay if you burn elsewhere, is it possible, you want to burn Kong Lin too?" Then, the world's scholars still have to fight with you? ”
"Huh?"
The red lady came back to her senses, was speechless for a while, and said in a coquettish voice: "Tartars, this is too bad, they pile grain and grass on people's ancestral graves......"
Ignoring the red lady, Xu Changqing looked at Zhang Taiping: "Taiping, tell me what you think." ”
The more he came into contact with Zhang Taiping, the more he got to know him, the more Xu Changqing discovered his good qualities.
is not only highly perceptive, but also studious and good at learning, Xu Changqing does not hesitate to promote him.
At this time, although Zhang Tianping was only the acting general manager of the pro-military camp, everyone could see that this kid's future was already on track, and the future was not limited at all.
When Zhang Taiping heard Xu Changqing's question, he became more and more calm, and he pondered for a while before he said: "Dashuai, lowly duty, lowly duty, I think that although the grain and grass that burned the tartar is good, it may not be our best choice at this time." Because once they burn their grain and grass, the Tartars will surely jump over the wall. At the same time, it was also extremely detrimental to the many Han slaves they captured. Now, the Tartar has a tired appearance, perhaps...... We should still consider going for the ......."
"Go front?"
The red lady also caught something at once, and was busy looking at Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing smiled faintly, and slowly took a sip of the wine in the cup: "Tonight, keep an eye on Lao Tzu!" However, it is also necessary to take a proper rest and ensure that the energy of tomorrow is good, can it be done? ”
How clever is Zhang Taiping? In an instant, he understood what Xu Changqing meant, and he was busy standing upright: "Yes!" ”
Seeing Zhang Taiping leave with excitement, the red lady also fully understood what Xu Changqing meant, and the whole person was a little excited without speaking, "Changqing, let's start walking with the Tartar tomorrow?" ”
Xu Changqing stood up with a smile, looked at the scattered fires in the east and said word by word: "Not only do you have to walk to the front, but you also have to eat everything you can eat!" ”
