"Woo ......"

Early the next morning, the main force of the Displaced People's Army launched a raging bulldozing offensive.

Against the backdrop of the snow-white frost, there were more than 20,000 hungry people of the homeless army, one after another, brilliant like ants, and gradually pushed the battle array to more than three miles away from the model army camp, and began to burn the ground and prepare to dig fortifications.

For a while, billowing black smoke rose everywhere in the frost-white sky, and the pungent smell spread rapidly in the air.

"Da Da Da, Da ......"

Soon, thousands of elite horsemen led two or three thousand war horses to expand in front of the model army formation, and once again launched a shouting offensive.

"My lord, the thief is a little active today."

On the viewing platform of the Chinese army, the exiled army tossed for a while, Xu Changqing had just arrived, and Li Yan hurriedly came over to report.

"Hmm."

Xu Changqing responded, squinting his eyes and looking at the offensive of the Wandering People's Army.

Last night, it was just to deal with business, Xu Changqing was ready to pinch his nose, after all, the deep palace compound has been the same for decades, the water is too deep, and it is not surprising that there is no black history.

How did the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong get to the throne back then?

Didn't he drive away the old friend Wei Dynasty of the Hakka clan and act as his 'opponent' object?

But what surprised Xu Changqing was that the two palace maids he inadvertently caught were very clean, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were clear and jade.

Moreover, they have been raised in the courtyard of the deep palace, and the skin and figure of the two girls are excellent, far from the appearance of the external bloated palace clothes, and after washing, the faces are much more beautiful than what they usually see, and they are proficient in secret arts.

Especially Taohong, who is already twenty-eight years old, entered the palace at the age of eleven, and not only served the Hakka clan back then, but also served the Apocalypse, and was really proficient in many palace secrets.

This also made Xu Changqing understand why these two girls dared to come to his side, they all had their own confidence!

Then again, if the two girls are incompetent and unclean, how can they come to serve Zhu Yujiao?

After reminiscing for a while, Xu Changqing regathered his spirit and focused his attention on the present.

The scale of the thieves today is still not small.

It stretches for five or six miles.

To roast soil on such a large scale, the amount of firewood consumed alone is astronomical.

As the old saying goes: "Firewood, rice, oil, salt." ”

At this time, firewood is an important resource, and even a core resource directly related to life and death.

Although Xu Changqing already had some reserves and brought a lot of coal and timber before, there were basically no forests in the hinterland of the Beijing Division, and the model army was now restricted from the bureau, so it had to be used sparingly.

Even though Li Zicheng has a broader space at this time, he has to pay at least several times more labor to get so much firewood.

And between the provocations, the caution of the exile army can be clearly felt.

In the past, the tactic of scolding the street was basically to slap the face, and if it could reach 150 or even 100 steps, it was necessary to show its majesty, but at this time, these elite horsemen only dared to shout and curse most of the way away, and when the north wind blew, the camp could not be heard clearly at all.

It's a bit of a clown scolding street.

Xu Changqing's previous battle with the effectiveness of the infantry hard-topped cavalry has gradually been brought into play.

However, although the situation is under control, as Li Yan said, the Wandering Army is a bit 'active'.

At this time, the Wandering Army seems to be on the offensive, but it is actually on the defensive, but it is an offensive again!

This may seem like a bit tongue-twisting, but it's not hard to understand.

The attack of the Liumin Army at this time is actually defense, it is to stabilize their position, but after all, the general trend is on their side, the world is turbulent, and they have already hit the Beijing Division, they are just defending, as long as they do a good job of defense, it is an offense, and it will bring pressure to the model army and the entire Ming Dynasty.

It also responds to the famous words of the Hong Kong Island bigwig: "Justice is not in the hearts of the people, right and wrong are only in the current situation!" ”

"Strategist, what do you think?"

After looking at it for a while, Xu Changqing handed Li Yan a cigar and lit it slowly.

Li Yan also lit his cigar, took a deep breath, and thought for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Lord, the thieves are powerful, and the weather has been bad recently, so I am afraid that more and more firewood will be consumed, so we still have to make more preparations." ”

Xu Changqing nodded.

If you want to talk about positional warfare, in the current Ming Dynasty, including the whole world, Xu Changqing is no one.

But at this time, Xu Changqing also had a headache in the material supply capacity of logistics.

It is indeed a great advantage to be backed by the Beijing Division, but it is also a great burden for the model army at this time.

The material reserves of the Beijing division itself are a bit urgent, and it is difficult to subsidize the model army, not to mention the model army, and also confine the model army to this small space.

"If you can save it, you can save it, but if you can't save it, you must not save it! We must not let our sons freeze. In addition, let the military draw up a battle plan to see if you can find an opportunity to rush into the camp of thieves and grab more firewood to come back! ”

"Yes!"

After chatting with Li Yan for a while and exchanging some core arrangements, Xu Changqing no longer looked at the movements of the thieves, and walked directly down from the command platform to inspect the front line of the troops.

At this time, in this state, as long as the exile army is not really attacking, then there is no need to ignore them and waste time.

……

Just when Xu Changqing went deep into the front line of the army, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Liu Fangliang and others were also on a command platform they piled up, watching the actions of the model army.

The calmness of the model army really made them uncomfortable.

In the past, the tactic of scolding the street was an extremely important tactic for them, and they tried and tested, but at this time, the model army's firepower was strong, so they didn't dare to get too close, and the effectiveness could only be greatly reduced, and the model army's morale was also extremely stable.

After looking at it for a while, Li Zicheng's old eyes narrowed slightly.

Sometimes, he also has to admire Xu Changqing's hugeness, many things, he can't do.

However, having Xu Changqing as a benchmark is not a bad thing, at least, it can make them learn a lot.

Seeing that there could be no result today, Li Zicheng didn't want to stay in this cold wind any longer, so he turned his head and asked, "How is the Western Front?" When will there be a letter of approval? ”

Song Xiance hurriedly said respectfully: "Emperor, the arrangement has begun, and there will be a letter in ten days at most, or maybe even seven or eight days." ”

"Hmm."

Li Zicheng nodded: "To become a big thing, don't be too anxious, you must get things sorted out." Take down Tang Tong first, and then take down Bai Guangen! Hehe, at that time, I want to see what kind of storm Xu Changqing can make alone! ”

"Yes."

……

"Why are you here so late today?"

Near noon, Xu Changqing came to the position of the Red Lady's Department.

The position of the Red Lady Department is due south, which is considered to be facing the dangerous area covered by the Wandering People's Army, and the pressure is not small.

This is also the initiative of the red lady.

There are many reasons that she can't say, so she can only use work to numb herself.

At this time, the Red Lady's position stretched for nearly a mile and a half, and the fortifications were layered on top of each other, extremely meticulous, and by this time, she was already an expert-level in this regard, better and more scientific than the general Qing army defense.

"Hehe, let's go to the east and have a look. Sister Hong, don't work too hard, don't freeze on such a cold day. ”

Xu Changqing smiled and handed a small stove in his hand to the red lady.

The red lady's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Xu Changqing: "You still have a conscience." By the way, how about the east side? Did the thieves make trouble? ”

It's a bit ambiguous to talk like this. But at this time, Xu Changqing and the Red Lady have already adapted to this rhythm, after all, both of them know in their hearts and will not mess around.

Xu Changqing didn't reply in a hurry, but walked directly up the steps behind the high wall and walked all the way to the west.

The red lady was not in a hurry, and with a slender leap, she followed behind Xu Changqing.

Around, the two of their personal guards followed one after another.

After a short time, walking to an arc-shaped space that protruded like a fortress, and like a viewing platform, Xu Changqing came to the front, looked at the hungry people who were working hard with hoes and shovels, and said: "There is no movement in the east, and the thieves have been focusing on defense." It is estimated that even if the thieves want to attack after that, eighty percent of them want to go south. Sister Hong, you have to be mentally prepared. Even if they don't attack for a short time, they may be looking for something, especially at night, so they must be more vigilant. ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing looked at the red lady's beautiful eyes, and his expression was very serious.

The red lady Zifang's heart suddenly warmed, but she whispered: "My sons and I are still afraid that they won't come?" By the way, you were okay when you entered the palace yesterday, right? ”

The two chatted with each other, and at this time, a soldier suddenly came to report urgently: "Dashuai, that old man has sent a letter again." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing's brows suddenly furrowed, "Bring it!" ”

In front of the red lady, Xu Changqing did not shy away from it, and opened it directly, and there was still a line of words without payment: "Uncle Zhongyi, it's too big, right?" Don't even have a reply? ”

Xu Changqing's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter.

Originally, Xu Changqing thought that this was a goodwill exchange, but at this time, Xu Changqing suddenly felt that the taste was a little wrong!

He didn't leave any contact information, but at this time he said that he had a big shelf?

The red lady came to Xu Changqing's side, and when she saw these words, her willow eyebrows also frowned: "What's the matter?" Who wrote it? ”

The red lady didn't know how to read before, and the same was true after marrying Li Yan, but since she joined the model army and was subject to the strict military regulations of the model army, she began to officially read and write, and at this time, the level was not low.

"I don't know."

"A person who hides his head and tail must be dealt with as soon as possible."

Xu Changqing replied to the red lady, turned around and walked back and said: "Sister Hong, you have to pay more attention to the defense here, if there is any situation, inform me at any time." ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Xu Changqing's face was slightly solemn, the red lady did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Xu Changqing's side and sent Xu Changqing out of her defense area.

Back in the Chinese army, Li Qilang had already increased his memory, and he had already investigated the matter clearly: "Dashuai, it's still the old man from last time, and I have already brought it." ”

As soon as he waved his hand, a soldier brought an emaciated but dexterous old man over.

The old man hurriedly kowtowed with a flattering smile: "I've seen the uncle, the uncle is auspicious, the uncle is the marquis of Wandai......"

"Old man, who gave you this letter? Is it still the same boy last time? ”

Xu Changqing smiled and handed him three or four taels of silver.

The old man's old face burst into laughter: "Uncle, this time he is not a scholar, but a person who looks like a turtle man, and he is not a good person at first glance." In order to prevent him from harming you, I have carefully cleaned this paper before. ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "That's really hard for you, old man, you have a heart." By the way, old man, you can turn down from the city, and the means are not weak. ”

The old man couldn't help but be even happier, he could get Xu Changqing's appreciation, which was enough for him to brag for a lifetime, and said with a busy smile: "Uncle, it's all small means, small means." When I was young, even if I didn't give the uncles in Beijing silver, I could climb up with my bare hands. ”

The old man's words suddenly made Xu Changqing stunned.

The city wall is not a natural rock climbing, there is nothing to borrow, this is a real means to dare to brag about this cowhide.

Xu Changqing originally just wanted the old man to bring a reply, but at this time, he changed his mind.
