The Houjin army did not rush to bulldoze and fill the ditch and launch an offensive, but stretched out the battle array continuously, and set up a rolling camp tent on the north, east and south sides of Fuzhou City, but did not set up a formation in the west. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Night had fallen, the wind was very strong in the city, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang had already gone to rest, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong leaned against the bonfire, observing the formation of the Houjin side.

"Dog's day, this is trying to circumvent three and missing one. This Huang Taiji is nothing more than that. Chen Zhong sneered disdainfully.

Entering Fuzhou, he and Li Yuanqing have been planning for several months, and the preparations are quite sufficient, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, Huang Taiji still wants to use the old routine, how can he take advantage?

Li Yuanqing ignored Chen Zhong's words and carefully observed the formation of the Houjin army.

Fuzhou City is a big city, the city wall is very high, about eleven or twelve meters, remove the height of the battlement, the position of the platform at the head of the city, at least ten meters above.

The outside of the city is surrounded by plains, and standing at Li Yuanqing's angle at this time, you can clearly overlook the surrounding overview.

After a busy afternoon, the battle array of the Houjin army was basically completed, extending from north to east and south, wrapping Fuzhou City in it, except for an area of the west gate, like a piece of moon cake, which was bitten off from the west.

At this time, in the direction of the Houjin camp, the lights continued, and through the distribution of the lights, you could clearly see their formation.

A large and vast area outside the north gate, densely lit, is afraid of the scale of no less than 5,000 people. By the faint light of the fire, you can vaguely see that the king flag of the white flag is waving lightly in the north wind.

From north to east, the firelight gradually thinned, but a short distance away, there was a small ball of firelight, which stretched to the direction of the east gate, and another battle formation of the main force of Houjin.

Between the firelight of these small regiments, there were sometimes many Houjin sentinel riders, patrolling back and forth.

On the east gate and south gate, Li Yuanqing hasn't had time to inspect yet, but he thinks that it should be similar to this side.

Take the point and bring the surface, and then connect the starting point from the surface, which is also a kind of arrangement method used by Houjin.

At this time, Huang Taiji's array has more contact points and is more compact, making it difficult for people to find flaws.

They are not afraid of the Ming army going out to steal the camp at all, as long as it is not heavy rain and fog weather, the visibility on the flat ground is extremely high, no matter which side the Ming army goes to steal the camp, such a dense contact point, they can always quickly gather counterattack forces in the shortest possible time.

And the Ming army has no horses, once they react, they will face a catastrophe.

"Big brother, Huang Taiji, we must not underestimate it. It's a character. We must be completely prepared, and we must not be careless. Li Yuanqing solemnly instructed Chen Zhong.

At this time, although Huang Taiji was also one of the four great Baylors, in terms of fame, whether it was Daishan, Mang Gurtai, or Amin, they were all much higher than him.

Including Chen Zhong, when he heard that the Houjin side was the main general of Huang Taiji this time, he shouted 'easy', as if he was blessed by the Bodhisattva, and picked the weakest opponent for the Ming army.

But Li Yuanqing, who came from later generations, knew very well that even if the old slave was far from Huang Taiji, this was a real hero.

At this time, it was only the third year of the Apocalypse, and Li Yuanqing thought that Huang Taiji would be suppressed for a few more years in the Houjin Center, but he didn't expect that this time, the old slave had already promoted him to the main general......

With Huang Taiji's shrewdness, how could he waste this opportunity to almost 'set the crown'?

Chen Zhong saw that Li Yuanqing said so solemnly, and he also put away his smile, "Yuanqing, it's not so serious, right?" I counted it carefully today, and there are only 15 bulls in the white flag, and the red flag and the blue flag are the big ones. Even if the old slave appoints Huang Taiji as the main general, I'm afraid that Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai have the final say. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "It's best if their brothers have contradictions." However, we'll have to stop their three-plank axe first. Big brother, in everything, we have to leave a way back for ourselves and prepare for the worst in advance. These brothers are our roots, and there must be no mistakes in this battle. ”

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, these sons and daughters under his command are the 'wives' of the two of them, if this battle can be won, the Cotai Avenue will be open for them, but if it is the other way around......

"Yuanqing, don't worry. The eldest brother knows it. Even if it is not for others, for the sake of our wives and children, this battle must be won. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder, "Big brother, in this way, from today onwards, every night, you and my brother will take turns to be on duty at night." Today, I'll come first. There are no people in this vicinity, even if Huang Taiji wants to find Han slaves, he has to go to Gaizhou, and we still have some time to let the sons and daughters integrate into the state of war. ”

Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "That's good." Yuanqing, let's do this. Come tonight, I'll come tomorrow night. Tomorrow during the day, the children will practice as usual. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "That's right." ”

Chen Zhong went back to the military tent under the city to rest, while Li Yuanqing, accompanied by Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde and dozens of personal soldiers, patrolled along the city wall.

Not surprisingly, the direction of the north gate should be the main offensive direction of the Houjin army, and here, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong also made a bloody investment.

Li Yuanqing's 1,000 Corps, eight generals, Chen Zhong's 1,000 Corps, nine generals, and more than 2,000 of the two most elite soldiers were deployed on the North Gate defense line.

There is a river outside the east gate, there are several tributaries converge, the terrain is not very open, here, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's deployment of troops is slightly weak, there are only seven generals, led by Wang Hai, deputy commander of Li Yuanqing's Changsheng battalion.

The south gate, because it is connected to Nanxinkou, is the material lifeline of the two departments, and the 2,000th corps of Guan Canghai and the fierce general Xun Meng under Chen Zhong are stationed with nearly 2,000 soldiers.

Ximen, although Huang Taiji deliberately let go of this side, Li Yuanqing did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and Xu Heizi of the 3,000th Corps was in charge.

In the two main battalions at the north gate, there are seven or eight generals under the command of Shunzi and Chen Zhong, with a total of nearly 2,000 troops, as a reserve, ready to respond.

These people are all long-range firepower, and they are also the killer features of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

Li Yuanqing inspected the city wall, and the defensive forces of all departments were in a normal state, and there was no abnormality, so Li Yuanqing relaxed a little.

Back at the north gate, it was already about 3 o'clock in the morning, and most of the people were asleep except for the soldiers on duty.

Huang Guoshan said with concern: "General, you go and rest first." I'll just keep an eye on it with Xiao Kong. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and looked at Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde, "Guoshan, Xiao Kong, you also saw Houjin's battle formation today, what do you think?" ”

The head of the pro-army is not only Li Yuanqing's confidant, but to a large extent, this is also the most important reserve of officers.

It's good to be an official around the leader.

Not surprisingly, Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde must be real power figures when they are released.

Of course, Huang Guoshan understood the meaning of Li Yuanqing's school examination, and thought about it for a long time, and then said: "General, the Houjin is not good." Seeing them like this, there seems to be no rush to do it. The veterans don't have anything, but for the recruits, psychologically, I'm afraid it's hard to relax. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, Huang Guoshan can think of this, it is already very good.

The most important thing in an army is the spirit of the army.

Especially in this kind of defensive operation, the Ming army does not have much initiative, and the military spirit of the sons and daughters is even more crucial.

Although these soldiers are basically Li Yuanqing's private property, and they are pressed by Li Yuanqing's high prestige, veterans are a minority after all, and their numbers are still too small and not stable enough at the grassroots level of vested interests on Changsheng Island.

Good times are nothing, but once adversity, the situation cannot be stabilized, and the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Li Yuanqing looked at Huang Guoshan with a smile, "Guoshan, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" ”

Huang Guoshan thought for a while and said: "General, I think it's best for us to have a battle with the Tartars first, it doesn't need to be too big, let's have a small victory first, and boost the morale of the army." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, this is Huang Guoshan's temperament, and he still belongs to the fierce faction.

"Xiao Kong, what do you think?" Li Yuanqing turned his head to look at Kong Youde again, Li Yuanqing had high hopes for this young man.

Kong Youde said: "General, I also agree with Brother Huang's statement, if the Houjin army wants to attack the city, I'm afraid it will take some time." But the lowly office is not in favor of taking the initiative. ”

Kong Youde said, casting an apologetic look at Huang Guoshan.

Huang Guoshan smiled, "Xiao Kong, our own brothers, you can say whatever you want." ”

Being by Li Yuanqing's side every day, Huang Guoshan also understands that his own general admires this young man very much, and the fact is that Xiao Kong, this kid is very clever and has a very good brain, Huang Guoshan also wants to see what he thinks in this situation.

With Huang Guoshan's qualifications, Kong Youde is not a threat to him.

Kong Youde glanced at Huang Guoshan gratefully, and said to Li Yuanqing: "General, these trenches and rivers are an obstacle to the Houjin army, and they are also an obstacle to our army. If our army wants to attack, even if it is a small one, it will have to wade through the ditch and river. I think that these obstacles are all caused by the great effort and effort of our army......"

Li Yuanqing and Huang Guoshan both understood what he meant, and Huang Guoshan also nodded thoughtfully, he didn't think too much about this detail just now.

It's like getting by, spending a lot of money, you can't let it be useless, but become an obstacle to yourself.

"Xiao Kong, then, how should our army's morale be boosted?" Huang Guoshan said with a smile.

Kong Youde smiled, "General, Brother Huang, this is actually very easy to do." The sons and daughters are idle in the city, and they can't help but be nervous. The meaning of lowly duties, let's continue to practice as if we were on the island, so that the sons and daughters feel that this is not much different from when we were on the island. Moreover, the training was so hard that everyone was already very tired after the practice, and they didn't have the heart to think about these things. ”

Huang Guoshan hurriedly said: "What if the Houjin army suddenly attacks the city during the exercise? ”

But as he spoke, he suddenly figured it out himself, and couldn't help laughing: "My brain is really confused." General, to respond to all changes with the same, this is like fishing, do you have to wait for the fish to be baited first? ”

Li Yuanqing laughed, "Respond to all changes with the same." Not bad, very good. You two, you're right. But the specific situation still depends on the situation. As a general, you must be good at thinking, arguing from multiple sources, and consider problems from the perspective of your opponent. For example, if you were Huang Taiji, how would you deal with Fuzhou City at this time? Think in the opposite direction many times, draw inferences from what you can think of, and you will understand where your shortcomings are, where are the shortcomings of the city, and how to make up for them......"

Listening to Li Yuanqing's earnest teachings, Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde's eyes were a little bright, and they knelt down respectfully and whispered, "Humble rank and General Xie's teachings." ”
