But after getting out of the side wall, Mi Yan Gao Keng and his party knew that Mo Nan's trip was unpredictable, even if they had been mentally prepared for a long time, they were still stumped by the predicament in front of them. When they crossed the last mountain beam, there was an endless grassland in front of them, and there was no end and no edge as far as the eye could see, where should they go? What's even worse is that the grassland is open and boundless, and there is no cover, which is equivalent to exposing its whereabouts to the public, once it is targeted by the Tartars, it is tantamount to dreaming if you want to get out.

Gao Keng and Zhao Baisheng's opinion was that Li Xin must be in the east at this time, and he should go east, walk along the dense forest outside the mountain beam, and hide in the mountains in case of a situation, so as to ensure the safety of a group of more than a dozen people.

However, Mi Yan, who had been silent, had a different opinion, "Otherwise, according to rumors, isn't it the opposite of the general to go east between the Xiashui Sea and the Qi'er Sea?" Let's go west first, and then turn north! ”

Zhao Baisheng asked puzzledly: "If it's Qi'er Sea, wouldn't it be more straightforward to go directly to the north?" ”

Gao Keng was stunned for a moment, and then all the thoughts said: "Okay, go west and then north, avoid the Tartars as much as possible, they all say that the general is at war with the Tartars, and the further west you go, the safer it is!" ”

Zhao Baisheng suddenly saw that this explanation really broke into it. The three men agreed, and galloped westward, until nightfall......

As night fell, after a day of anxiety and a high degree of mental concentration, Li Xin was still in a state of euphoria, not because of the victory in the battle, nor because the crisis was solved, on the contrary, not only did this battle have no hope of victory, but what worried him even more was that after a day and a night of waiting, the supplies that should have arrived had not arrived.

None of the rangers sent out to investigate the situation returned, and by now Li Xin already had a sense of crisis, but at this moment he had been put on fire, and it was impossible to retreat, but fortunately, the other party did not attack during the day today for some reason, but fell into a state of confrontation with the tribal alliance and the Three Guards.

The Three Guards repelled the opponent's vanguard army in a battle last night, and after the battle, the ammunition ran out, and the ammunition of the musket was exhausted, and it was not much stronger than the burning stick, and the musket phalanx was lost, and the entire Gustavus phalanx, thinking that it could resist the impact of the opponent's army with only the spear phalanx, was a bit of a fool's dream.

Li Xin could only hope that the opponent's firepower advantage in the Three Guards would delay the decisive battle of the general attack as long as possible. Supplies, supplies, at this moment, Li Xin's mind was already full of supplies, he had never been so anxious about supplies, and when it was midnight, the scouts sent to the camp in the sea came back.

Under the acropolis, the Qing army surrounded this small castle with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the Qing army carried out three strong attacks during the day and were repelled by the opponent's powerful firepower, Turg scolded him bitterly, the Han army flag is not as good as the banner of the full eight banners, and he is brave and good at fighting, attacking such a small city, not to mention that there is no progress for a whole day, and there are thousands of dead and wounded, which is simply intolerable. The main thing is that he can't live up to Dolgonbeylor's entrustment to him.

"Gushan really doesn't need to be angry, if you want to be in Gaoyang City, isn't the army of His Royal Highness King Rui helpless? In the next place, I know the Ming army's method of defending the city, especially Li Xin's method of defending the city! ”

Turg said angrily: "What's the use of knowing, isn't there nothing you can do with such a small city?" ”

At this point, Turg suddenly stopped, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone was full of excitement. "Sir, sir, tell me quickly, is there a way to crack it? Baylor must have had a great purpose in sending Mr. here. Sir must come up with a countermeasure, we can't lose to Nabeintu, otherwise, otherwise Baylor's hard work will be done, and it will be ......."

Turg did not continue, he naturally did not want Dolgon to collapse, and the gentleman that Dolgon had sent him had rekindled the flame of hope in his breast.

The gentleman in Turg's mouth is none other than the Ru Domain who took refuge in Dolgon.

Lu Zhifan used to be Li Xin's boss, and he led the battle of Gaoyang City to defend the city, so it can be said that there is no second person in the entire Qing Kingdom who can better understand Li Xin and Li Xin's firearms to defend the city. Because only by having an in-depth understanding of the essence of the other party's defense of the city can we prescribe the right medicine and break the city in one fell swoop.

Turg, who figured out this reason, regretted it again and again, and only cared about hating Lu Zhifan, a southern barbarian, along the way, but ignored Dolgon's good intentions, if he could figure it out earlier, I am afraid that he would have been comfortably taking a hot bath in the Acropolis of Zhenyu.

"In the Ming army, the Three Guards Army is very different from other border armies, almost self-contained, on the surface they rely on large-scale firearms, in fact, this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, what they really rely on is tactics, tactics invented around firearms! Only by fully understanding the essence of their tactics can we formulate strategies and crack them one by one! ”

"Tactics? Please explain in detail, what kind of powerful weapon is this tactic? ”

Although Turg can also speak Chinese, he is not as proficient as Dolgon, and many words cannot be understood flexibly, as far as the tactics in Lu Zhifan's mouth are concerned, he understands the meaning of a powerful weapon.

Lu Zhifan smiled: "There is really no need to worry about Gushan, there will be a countermeasure in the next morning, as long as it is ......."

Turg burst out laughing after hearing this, "How difficult it should be, isn't it just a lot of logging to build a building car?" Is this called tactics? But then his face sank again, "We still have a barbarian surnamed Hong in the east, today's battle, this person's army is not bad, he is a strong opponent, I am afraid that my Qing army is the biggest obstacle to attacking the city!" ”

The thought that the siege would be constrained made Turg very depressed, and the excitement that had just been made by Lu Zhifan's strategy fell again.

Who knew that Lu Zhifan sneered: "Although Gushan Ezhen lets go of the siege, then Hong Chengchou will never really be restrained before my Qing army conquers the Acropolis!" ”

Turg was stunned, "Why did you say that, sir?" ”

Lu Zhifan smiled a little miserably, and shook his head, "Although Gushan Ezhen let go of the siege and guaranteed the head of the next item, Hong Chengchou will never let go of the decisive battle before the Acropolis is broken!" ”

"Please sir!" Although Turg had limited qualifications, he was better than self-aware, and he knew that Dolgon could send this Nanban to serve as a senator for him, and it was not arbitrary. After the defeat of the siege of the city with his own strength, he immediately changed his attitude towards Lu Zhifan, and when he was in Shengjing, he heard that Dolgon was almost obedient to this person, so after receiving this person's initiative, he put away his disdainful attitude.

"Does Gushan really know who the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty is?" Lu Zhifan did not answer Turg's words, but instead asked another question.

"Who else? Naturally, it's me Daqing! Turg said this with pride.

Lu Zhifan suddenly sneered, but there seemed to be a hint of bitterness in this sneer. "Please forgive me for saying bluntly, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty!"

Turg was stunned, and then asked angrily: "Sir, is this the old master?" ”

"Gushan is really angry, in the Ming Dynasty is only a nine-grade sesame petty official, and His Royal Highness the King of Daqing Rui is a guest of honor, which is more important and which is more important? However, everything that is said below is true! ”

"You don't dare!" Turge threw out a sentence dissatisfied, but continued to guess: "Could it be that Zhang Li of the Ming Dynasty rebelled?" ”

Lu Zhifan shook his head again, and then said word by word: "The biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty is neither the Qing Dynasty nor Zhang Li's disciples, but the Ming Dynasty itself!" ”

Turg made Lu Zhifan's words amused, got up from the bed, and shook his legs, which were a little numb because of the blood for a long time. "Sir, don't be joking, how can the Ming Dynasty become its own enemy? Isn't it ridiculous to say it? ”

Lu Zhifan didn't laugh along, but looked at Turge solemnly, "It's not a joke, no matter how big an official wants to do something in the Ming Dynasty, the difficulty is far from what Gushan really thinks!" ”

"Oh? How hard is it, exactly? Sun Chengzong is just a bachelor, didn't he still block Baylor's army? "Dolgon has been demoted by Huang Taiji at this time, and Turg naturally does not dare to usurp the title, but it is the identity of Lu Zhifan, in order to show his loyalty, he has always called him King Rui.

Lu Zhifan sighed, and then said slowly: "The emperor is stupid, ignorant of people, and useless of people's courage. This is not ......" He seemed to be unable to write again, paused and continued to say angrily: "The entire Ming officialdom has rotted to the bones, and everyone has their own future in their hearts, as for the court, family and country, it is just a cloth of shame on the mouth!" ”

Even if Turg was stupid, he understood that Lu Zhifan meant that Hong Chengchou would not let go to stop him from attacking the city for some personal purposes, but he was puzzled again.

"The barbarian surnamed Hong is fighting with the Qing army today, and the momentum is very fierce, it doesn't seem like there is room for it!"

"This is the cunning of this person, he fought so hard and retreated, he can give an explanation to the court!"

"Then, what good will it do him after the city is broken?"

"Of course there are benefits, as long as we break the city, he will do his best to attack us, and when the time comes, the credit for defeating my Qing army and the three guards of Kefu will all be in hand, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!"

Turg was shocked, Hong Chengchou's Xuanfu army combat power he had fully comprehended during the day, if he really tried his best to capture this castle, then the division veterans were tired, and it might not be easy to withstand the opponent's full force!

"How? Is there a way to deal with it? He suddenly asked again: "Where is the third eagle?" ”

Lu Zhifanzhi said two words: "Li Xin! ”
