Before the departure of the combined Houjin army, the leader Aisin Jueluo Babuhai mobilized the whole army:

"The warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, if you don't defeat the current Han army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNot only can't I take away the things I loot in the future, I'm afraid I'm afraid that even my life will be lost in this foreign country. Think about the parents and wives waiting for you on the grassland, fight hard, and get more wealth in this battle! ”

Being in a foreign country is tantamount to a desperate situation.

Looting gold, silver, treasures and more money, this is the motivation, parents and wives are young, this is family affection.

For a while, whether it was the Houjin soldiers or the newly arrived New Mongolian cannon fodder soldiers who didn't know the previous war situation, they were all excited.

After learning that Houjin came to support, Li Zilong did not order the whole army to run to us. The first is that everyone should rest, and the second is that the logistics staff cannot give up. Third, if the Houjin army is contained here, it is equivalent to solving the threat of Zaozhuang and Shandong.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Zilong decided to conduct defensive operations on this high ground.

When it comes to defensive operations, this is definitely the strength of the Ming army.

Isn't the Houjin army going to attack?

Come on, we don't run, we dig trenches and ditches on the spot, build fortifications, and conduct positional warfare.

This is more than hand-to-hand combat, who is afraid of whom!

According to what the Zhu family learned in the barracks, as long as they were just within the effective strike range of their firearms, they dug deep trenches one after another to surround themselves. You can limit the pace and difficulty of the enemy's attack to a very limited extent!

In addition, the excavated earth was built in front of the trench into a small wall, which was not high, half a man or half a man high. It can hinder their progress and make it impossible for them to cover themselves.

Then, between each section of the trench, there will be empty spaces of a dozen or twenty steps. It is convenient for the Qing soldiers to charge, but it also directly causes their charging forces to be crowded, so that they can form intensive fire on their side and double their killing ability.

In the ravine, you can also put the spikes of plants, preferably thornwood, of course, if there is no condition.

Of course, it's the perfect magnificence.

Time is limited, only one or two days, Li Zilong's front has not been able to achieve such a perfect highland.

But it's easy to do, it's still possible.

However, it may be that the heavens are as they wish. Unexpectedly, on the third day, it rained a little, and for a while, the siege of Houjin came much slower.

Therefore, Li Zilong and others had a few more days to arrange the work-style position.

The cold wind was biting, and many of the sergeants' hands were swollen from the cold, their lips and faces were also swollen high, and the pickaxe was swung the frozen hard ground, and only a shallow hole could be punched.

However, as long as you think that if you work hard more now, you will lose one less life when defending, and the officers and men of the Zhu family army all work hard.

So, despite the bad weather, the sergeants were in full swing.

And so, a few days down. The related trench earthen wall facilities are completed!

In addition, between the earthen walls, many empty spaces were set aside for artillery or for the battalion sergeants to attack.

Behind the high ground is a big river, there is no need to arrange anything here, if the Houjin army attacks from here, you can hit the river, and the water flow is the best screen.

The last time I fought, because it was in the plains, some things were not easy to arrange.

But now that it's a positional war, it's easy to take it out.

For example, this tiger squat, the cannon Buddha wolf cannon, and even the copycat Daming rocket inventory.

Such an arrangement can be said to be in good order, and the defense line is three-dimensional, which made the thousands of soldiers and civilians under Li Zilong's command immediately rise in confidence.

In the end, Li Zilong calculated that the grain, grass and gunpowder in the army were enough to support half a month.

I believe that in half a month, enough changes can already occur.

After a tiring afternoon, everyone was also tired, and the rain was light. Soon, smoke curled from all over the tents of the defensive line, and laughter continued to sound. There is plenty of food and grass in the army, as well as a large amount of enemy horse meat that was stolen before, so it is natural for everyone to let go of their bellies and eat.

While eating, an eagle chirped in the sky.

Another intelligence package was thrown down, and the soldier picked it up and immediately handed it to Li Zilong.

When he opened it, Li Zilong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly handed it over to the generals to see, and everyone laughed out loud after seeing it.

It turned out that as written above, Hauge's department, tens of thousands of troops surrounded Lu Xiangsheng's army, and as a result, when Ma Xiaosan led the victorious division back, he was caught off guard.

Now, after the two armies have merged, they have entered the defense of the Beijing Division.

In the future, Jin's ability will not be able to capture the Ming Jingshi. As soon as they retreat, they will attack, come and go, and they will surely defeat the enemy. Hurt their muscles and bones!

On the letter, Ma Xiaosan told Li Zilong and others that as long as they hold on for about half a month, there will be a turnaround.

Moreover, the letter mentioned that it is believed that Long Hou should also come back in a few days.

As long as Master Longhou (Zhu Zilong's body) returns to Shandong, he will definitely increase the confidence of the Shandong army and people, and at that time, his old man will definitely be able to lead the Zhu family army and the fiefdom militia in North Korea to counter-encircle the Houjin army.

This will be a historic turning point, and persistence is victory.

When this letter was read in the army, for a while, the confidence of the soldiers and civilians stationed in Li Zilong's department skyrocketed.

For the future defensive counterattack, persist in the battle, all of them are full of confidence.

That night, according to the report that the night was not collected, the Houjin coalition army only had one day less to arrive.

That night, Li Zilong hosted a banquet for the generals in the camp to cheer them up.

A few low tables were put together to form a large table, on which several pots of boiling horse meat were burning in the fire. Add some old ginger and a little salt, and eat it hot and hot, which is very delicious. From the logistics side, take some old godmother's spicy chicken, drink a few sips of the second pot head and nod until the beef jerky is packaged and eaten, so unpleasant.

It was obviously a cold season, and many people were covered in sweat after eating. Bursts of laughter kept ringing out of the tent!

In the Zhu family's army, there has always been no distinction between rank and inferiority, and all the generals are very happy.

In the second half of the night, when it was almost dawn.

After the family banquet, everyone had already slept beautifully for a few hours, and they were in good spirits. Suddenly, the night did not receive the report, "The Tartar soldiers are coming." ”

The officers and soldiers of the Zhu family army hurriedly got up and checked with binoculars, only to see that at the end of the sky on all sides, there were flags like oceans. Countless knights of the Qing army are rushing forward!

The coalition forces of Tabai and the Babu Sea are coming!

That's just more than 20,000 people!

The Zhu family's army, which has more than 4,000 people, is facing the Houjin coalition army of more than 20,000 people, and the positional defensive battle is about to begin!

Soon, the Houjin Coalition Army was stationed not far from the foot of the Highland Mountain, obviously, this was to put pressure on Li Zilong and the others!

They showed the dense layers of various flags around them, as well as the Qing soldiers and knights in various armors. Gathered several miles away, densely packed, surrounding the high ground.

The slave thief is far more powerful than before.

Before, there were 15,000 men and horses in Tabai, but there were only eight or nine thousand real Houjin soldiers. And now the coalition army, more than 20,000 people, only less than 15,000 are Houjin soldiers, the rest are Mongolian and Korean soldiers and so on.

Moreover, knowing the previous battle, it is natural that there will be some ways and arrangements to deal with it, and the combat effectiveness is not the same.

Fortunately, Zhu Jiajun is now fighting the best defensive positional warfare. And I have been prepared for a long time, if it is in the wild, I will bump into this kind of Houjin coalition army, even if I have a first-mover advantage, it is estimated that it will be enough!
