"Get up!"

Yang Feng sat on the rhinoceros and said to the generals in front of him.

The rhinoceros had been armed at this time, and it was covered in plate armor, and those wrought iron plates five millimeters thick, coupled with its already outrageously thick skin, formed a protective force against all firearms attacks, including the Dangkou, and there was basically nothing to hurt it except for the direct hit of the cannonball. And what's even more terrifying is that there is also a steel sleeve attached to the mask on its sharp horns, which is more than half a meter long, with a slight backward arc, and the little eyes on it are completely like a monster in a nightmare.

Because of its powerful weight-bearing capacity, Yang Feng was finally able to carry his battle axe and lead his subordinate cavalry to charge.

And that's not all.

He can even wear a full set of plate armor, in the past, due to weight limitations, in fact, he only wore a cuirass many times, but with this rhinoceros, he can already wrap himself in a five-millimeter stainless steel can, and in addition to the scrap steel battle axe, other things like the pair of iron are also hung next to the rhinoceros, especially a giant bow and arrow made especially for him, and two pistols that are also made especially for him......

Uh, hand cannons.

What is a hand cannon with a caliber of more than an inch called?

This thing is loaded with scattered bullets, dozens of projectiles are stuffed inside, specially used to paste the enemy's face in a critical moment, of course, it can also be replaced by a single projectile, that is, the range is short, but the power is quite violent, not inferior to Remington and the like, this is specially prepared for the defense of the Qing army's bullets, as long as someone is found to be close, the emperor can directly pull out a pistol within thirty meters, of course, this is only in theory, in fact, it is really to the point where the emperor needs to draw a gun and shoot angrily, and the brocade guards behind should also die.

And then there's a meteor hammer.

The small hammer head is not large, only a 100-kilogram solid iron lump, and a fifteen-meter-long iron chain is attached to it, which is designed for many times when the emperor is blocked by dead corpses and cannot attack the enemy in time......

If the force value is too high, it is also troublesome.

In short, Yang Feng at this time can be said to be fully armed, even the four-meter-long Mo knife is in the special socket behind him, the giant battle axe is used with both hands, specially to create a meat grinder effect in a crowded place, once the terrifying weight is picked up, let alone a person, even the war horse can be smashed together, and the cannon can be smashed with an axe. But this thing consumes energy too quickly, and if you continue to fight, you have to rely on the Mo knife and the iron Laos, and at a long distance, use the Mo knife and the meteor hammer, and the Mo knife in one hand and the meteor hammer in the other, and replace the close combat with a more suitable double iron Laos, as for the battle axe......

Just take it and pretend to be a force.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor at this time was enough, and the monster-like rhinoceros stood in front of Wu Sangui and other generals, and the terrifying steel horns were lowered, and even these generals who had been fighting on the battlefield for half their lives shuddered.

Soon Wu Sangui and others got up and invited His Majesty the Emperor to the front-line headquarters, that is, the Yutian County Ya, at this time there were still three days before the decisive battle, all the Ming troops were in place, dozens of balloons were released, dragged by the winch below, from a height of more than 1,000 meters overlooking the Qing army on the west bank of the Ji Canal below. This magical oversized Kong Ming lantern has become more and more popular with the generals of the Ming army, with which the battlefield has almost become transparent, in the past they had to find the highest terrain command, but now they only need to board the hot air balloon, they can overlook all the enemy's movements in the sky and make corresponding adjustments at the same time, and then mobilize their subordinates with the flag prepared by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Jiannu's 500,000 army is divided into three parts, 50,000 green battalions are in Lutai, this part is on alert, and the main force is deployed on the line from Baodi to Jizhou, a total of 300,000 Qing troops in Jizhou all the way to Shangcang, Dolgon is in Jizhou, and in Jizhou City is almost all the Eight Banners Manmeng and the old Eight Banners Han Army. Jiang Xuan's Jin army, Mongolian cavalry, and the newly attached Eight Banners Han Army were all deployed on the Ji Canal defense line, and there was also a monk army composed of monks, with a total of about 10,000 people, led by the abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple. ”

Wu Sangui said to the sand table.

This thing has also become popular in the Ming army, although it cannot be as delicate as a regular sand table, but there is no problem in expressing the battlefield environment.

In fact, the battlefield delineated by the two sides is not complicated, the Ji Canal is the natural demarcation, at this time the Ji Canal is not a small river ditch in modern times, this is one of the important shipping lifelines of the Ming Dynasty, and the supply of materials for the defense of Jingbei is completely dependent on this canal. And the most important points on this canal are three points, one point is Lutai, which is the entrance, and the other two points are Baodi and Jizhou, but this section between Baodi and Lutai is not suitable for military operations, it is all large and small rivers traversing, and they are all flooding areas downstream of the river, and it may be better in winter, but this season is completely a Ze country.

And between Baodi and Jizhou, this is suitable for military operations.

But it's not all, because there is a large swamp wetland in the middle, that is, the Qingdian Depression that is still a flood discharge area until modern times, this wetland separates Jizhou and Baodi, of which Baodi is also surrounded by rivers, so this is not the focus of the attack, the real Yang Feng can choose the direction of attack, that is, from Yutian to the west in the north of the Qingdian Depression to fight the Ji Canal, but ......

He also has to take Jizhou.

It is impossible to sneak over, because Dolgon is not Yuan Chonghuan, and Dolgon will come out of Jizhou and kick him in the ass directly, instead of going around in a big circle to find him.

That is to say, Yang Feng's next decisive battle needs to face two problems, the first is to break through the defense line of the Ji Canal, the second is to conquer Jizhou, of course, their decisive battle cannot be the same as in the commentary, the army is in a position to lead their subordinates to fight, that is just artistic processing, the real decisive battle is that the two sides strategize, in this area each command the army to attack and defend, Dolgon unless necessary, it is impossible to carry a spear and Yang Feng battlefield duel.

Well, he's not a fool.

"Jizhou!"

Yang Feng looked at the model of Jizhou City on the sand table and nodded.

"Your Majesty, we have another trouble."

Wu Sangui said cautiously.

"Say."

Yang Feng said.

"Na Dolgon captured more than 300,000 people and mixed them in the defense line, including more than 100,000 people in Jizhou City, who were also imprisoned by him, and even the old and weak women and children were forced to the city wall, saying that they were made loyal to the Jiannu court, but in fact they were acting as a shield for Jiannu."

Wu Sangui said.

"Huh?!"

Yang Feng was dumbfounded.

He was dumbfounded.

You must know that he has prepared a series of good things for Dolgon, for example, he just brought a bunch of forty-liter steel cylinders filled with hydrogen sulfide, which is ready to be tied with black powder grenades, and then thrown to the other side of the Ji Canal with a trebuchet to smoke those who guard the river Qing army, and for example, he also asked Xiao Qian to prepare a second batch of propylene tong, so that he can summon meteor showers when needed, and his Shenwei invincible general cannon has also been pushed over, ready to bombard the castle with giant flowering shells.

But now, it's all in vain.

"It's madness!"

His Majesty the Emperor said indignantly.

In fact, it's all come to this point, then Dolgon is a fool if he doesn't play like this, in the past, he wanted to play the holy lord Mingjun, and it was really bad to use the common people as meat shields, but at this time, if you can't win, you will be dead, and it is normal to go against the grain and go against the grain, and those gentry are also supportive, anyway, it is not the wives and children of those gentry who are meat shields.

"Your Majesty, not only Jizhou, but also the cities west of Jizhou, the people have been driven into the city, Sanhe, Xianghe, and even Shunyi, Tongzhou, Miaozhou and other places, the people have been driven into the city, and then the green battalion guarded by Huihui, including the defense of Beijing City."

Wu Sangui told him another very unfortunate news.

"Huihui is a kind people who receive the grace of the country, and I treat them well, so I don't want to help them abuse."

Yang Feng said.

"Well, Your Majesty, Na Dolgon has promised to set up the Eight Banners Hui Army, and all the people of Huihui will join the Eight Banners, and enjoy all the same treatment as the Eight Banners Manchu and Menghan, and the slogan shouted by Na Dolgon is that the four clans share the wealth of the world, so the Huihui are in a very high mood. Even their elders have begun to preach among the people what kind of devil His Majesty is, calling on their people to fight against His Majesty, you know, their elders actually have a lot of land, in fact, in the eyes of the ministers, as long as Your Majesty suspends the Holy Pilgrimage system, they will not follow Dolgon. ”

Wu Sangui said cautiously.

"No way!"

Yang Feng flatly refused.

Lao Wu obviously got bribes from those gentry, after all, he is the second minister under Yang Feng, second only to Li Yutian, and Li Yutian, who has always been willing to fall and act as the pawn of the faint king, he has always led troops outside and never participated in government affairs, so it is normal for those gentry to pin their last hope on him, of course, to say that they can buy Wu Sangui to defect......

This one must have been tried.

But Wu Sangui will not be so stupid, he is now a duke, His Majesty the Emperor has promised that once he recovers Beijing, he will be crowned king, it has come to this point, one step away from Beijing, it would be too stupid for him to betray the emperor again, not to mention that the emperor is the land of the gentry, but he is a courtier, and it is not within the scope of the land, once he is crowned king, he will also get a full 50,000 acres of fiefdom, how can he be fooled by those gentry.

O king!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no living minister with a different surname to be crowned king.

Even Xu Da had to die to be posthumously sealed.

And he will be the first, what a privilege, a supreme minister, incomparable.

It is impossible for him to betray Yang Feng, but it is okay to collect some money and give advice.

"I want to see if there are still things that don't know whether to live or die, and dare to jump out to resist my manifest destiny."

Yang Feng said with a sneer.
