Since Boyan Nemohu insisted, the Nar Sutra asked people to prepare these two things.

Ropes are readily available, but wattles are not.

But this is not a difficult matter, since this place is called Hongshui Mountain, it is a mountainous area, and wild wattles are all over the mountain, so send someone to cut a handful.

As a result, the young soldier who went to cut it must have been a farmer's child, and after a while, he got a big hug.

Seeing the real thing, everyone knew what Jingtiao was.

It turned out that it was not a square stick or something, nor a thick stick, but a thin strip.

This is the wattle used by farmers to weave baskets, baskets, cages, baskets, and dung baskets!

This is also the magic weapon of the farmer to discipline the children!

Since that thing can weave all kinds of utensils with a strong load-carrying capacity, it means that it is very strong and flexible, so if you beat someone, you can whip people to the skin and flesh, but the wattles will not break.

In ancient times, when Lin Xiangru went to Lian Po to ask for sin, it should be this kind of thorn on his back, not to mention anything else, it should be very convenient to take local materials.

Later, when people saw that story, they inevitably looked at the text, especially the illustrations in the enlightenment books, Lin Xiangru even carried two square wooden sticks, which was even more misleading.

Seeing such a thin wattle, Boyan Nemohu didn't insist on using two, so he chose about twenty thicker bundles and put them on his back.

When Lin Xiangru bears the thorn, he still has to carry his back, that is, he has to be bare-chested, which is more difficult to do, after all, there are still dozens of miles away from the emperor; besides, the current climate is still winter, too cold.

So Boyan Nemohu decided not to imitate this article.

Boyan Nemohu did this, but what about Qishan?

He absolutely refuses to take responsibility, and he will definitely be held responsible for defeat. But he also feels that there is a limit to what he can do, and even if he tries hard, it is still difficult to get out of this situation.

So, he attributed this defeat to irresistible.

In the face of an irresistible end, man is powerless.

Therefore, he is not going to voluntarily confess his guilt.

Again. He reached this position because of his family background and years of work, not a special imperial grace.

Also, his old man has been tested by failure for a long time, not only internal failures, but also failures for foreigners.

How young is a little like Boyan Namohu?

Although he didn't intend to plead guilty, Boyan Nemohu did so, and he was embarrassed to continue to wait here to suppress the shock, so he had to go on the road with Boyan Nemohu, who was carrying a bundle of thorns on his back.

Nar watched the two go away. A strong sadness of the dead rabbit and fox rose in his heart.

Recently, there has been no good news, and bad news has been in succession.

Not long ago, I just heard the news of the defeat of the army of the East Road, the defeat of the governor of Caoyun, and the defeat of the army of the Northeast Road, and today I saw the army of the Northwest again, and the unique cavalry corps has also embarked on the road of destruction.

He was still thinking there, and Li Hongzhang said next to him: "Your Excellency, we need to be more vigilant against the Heavenly Army that defeated Lord Qishan! They come and go like the wind, and they may arrive at the next moment! All transferred over, stick to Hongshui Mountain?"

Now Li Hongzhang is very anxious. Although he still has the title of envoy and has great power in supervising Huaiyong's affairs, the emperor came to such a desperate plan, and he came to a royal expedition in person, and gathered the military forces that the gentry from all over the country had gathered with great difficulty. So many things are disrupted!

Huaiyong, who originally protected the township and defended the land, was transferred here as the army, this is the territory of Henan Province, let those Huaiyong guard, where are their enthusiasm?

It's still not the worst!

The worst of all is this Governor-General. Nar warp!

Although he is also loyal to his duties and conscientious, but at this point of time to get along, he deeply agrees with the evaluation of this governor by others, that is, four words - never know the soldiers.

I don't know the soldiers, if I don't care about anything, it's okay, and I leave it to the soldiers to do;

Now, Li Hongzhang is a tragedy.

He is not too knowledgeable about soldiers, but he is better than this governor who has never known soldiers; the remaining generals are all martial arts in nature, and they are not in the battle and say, don't look for him for advice.

It turned out that there was also the commander of the Chinese army, Boyan Nemohu, who was considered handsome, but he was transferred to the northwest to lead the cavalry;

"Since Master Li has this concern, how about I hand over the first line of defense to you? No matter how you dispatch troops, I will not interfere, as long as you ensure that the first line of defense is not lost?" replied Narjing.

The Nerr Sutra is really scared now!

Whether it is the Eastern Defense Line or the Northeast Defense Line, the defeat there, for him, he will not be touched, he thinks that it is the nest of those Han governors.

Now, the two non-Han pairs of Qishan and Boyan Nemohu have also failed, and the feeling is very different to him! Although he has never known soldiers, he has always been arrogant, and he does not think that he can be better than this pair.

Besides, their 400,000 army is really inferior to their 200,000!

These 400,000 were basically infantry, not to mention, many of them were recruited temporarily, in fact, they were peasants.

Therefore, at the very moment when Li Hongzhang proposed to build yì, he made a decision to completely hand over this first line of defense to this Han colleague.

The first reason is to shirk responsibility, and the second reason is that he also wants to see how Li Hongzhang is doing.

"Okay, I'll take it!" Li Hongzhang groaned for a while, and then resolutely took this hot potato.

Li Hongzhang thought thoroughly at this moment, if you follow you and fail, you will also be responsible;

Rather than that, it is better for me to do it myself, so as not to be angry.

After Nal Jing left, he immediately summoned his third brother Li Hezhang and put him in charge of the defense of Hongshui Mountain!

There are six brothers Li Hongzhang, he is the second, and Li Hezhang is the third, not only the two brothers are the most angry, but also the three brothers are the most talented in military affairs. It was for this reason that he placed him on the strategic point of defense.

In addition to arranging the commander-in-chief, he also transferred all the main front-line defense forces here, with a total strength of 100,000 troops!

These people are basically Huaiyong, and they have fought countless battles with the rebels who rebelled against the Twist Army, and they are all brave and experienced.

Li Hezhang immediately readjusted the defense of Hongshui Mountain.

The next moment is a lot of earthwork.

I have to say that Li Hongzhang's feeling is really sensitive, and in the evening, the first army of the Heavenly Army arrived.

However, this was not Hu Yihuang's cavalry, but infantry, which was sent by Chen Yucheng, and the purpose was also to meet the Northwest Army.

Although the Celestial Army is also divided into ten routes, none of the corps only cares about itself and does not care about the entire decisive battle of the two rivers.

Today, Chen Yucheng, commander-in-chief of the Central Corps, knew that the cavalry of the Northwest Corps had won the battle and was about to come to the central battlefield to help them, so he sent Cheng Tunjin to meet them, and instructed him that his first goal was to take the fortress of Hongshui Mountain.

Cheng Tongjin was born in Funiu Mountain, and although he joined the Heavenly Army, his warlike and courageous habits were preserved.

When he came to Hongshui Mountain today, he wanted to show his skills!

So, regardless of the fatigue of the forced march, he immediately launched a strong attack on Hongshui Mountain!

He brought with him four divisions, each full of 10,000 men.

Of course, the defenders of the city will not show weakness, and the defensive battle will start immediately!

Hongshui Mountain originally had some fortifications, but after the Huai army came, there was a significant increase.

It's a pity that before it was done, the Celestial Army arrived.

Now the Heavenly Army is attacking fiercely, and the two-person high wall battlements were crossed by those bandit-born Heavenly Army in one fell swoop, and then roared from the sky, taking advantage of the situation to cut down the Xiangyong who was blocking in front of him.

The other defenders rushed to the scene, trying to plug the gap and kill the invading enemy.

I saw a young hero holding a red tassel gun, like a dragon out of the water, killing it like a gust of wind.

The first to jump onto the battlements narrowed his eyes, knowing that this was a fierce enemy, and flew forward, trying to stop his attack, and the short knife quickly met the spear!

I only heard a loud sound from the cabin, and the short knife was knocked away!

Then the spear was like a strange python, and with a soft snort, it pierced into the chest of the brave heavenly army!

The Celestial Army was in full swing to dispatch troops, and the Manchu Qing was not idle.

The emperor's personal conquest, regardless of the reason, regardless of whether his imperial power is running at full blood, is an extremely important event with far-reaching implications.

One of the far-reaching effects of this was that the ten governors of the country came to the front together.

All of them are high-powered, official-minded, supervising one side, and they can't leave their own jurisdiction, but now they are all here.

If you don't come, you can't do it, the emperor is here, can't you get rid of yourself more than the emperor? Your life is more precious than the emperor?

Since there is only one answer, these important ministers of the country, whether they are old or in the prime of life, have a prosperous future and rush to fight side by side with the emperor.

Today, the first meeting of all the ten governors, was not many, only twelve.

These twelve, in addition to Emperor Xianfeng and his chief military advisor Regent, are the top ten governors.

The place where they camped was close to the military town of Xuzhou, and the entire idyllic village of the two natural villages was full of troops.

These two villages, the one in the north is called Willow Spring, and the one in the south is Qingshan Spring.

Both were obscure, and were chosen as the garrisons of the army only because of their relatively large area.

After the ten governors came in, Xianfeng looked at it and found that more than half of them didn't know him!

Therefore, after everyone bows, they will first introduce themselves.

The first one to come out was a Manchu nobleman, who looked like he was living a good life, and he was quite rich, holding a wat board, taking a step forward, and said loudly: "The governor of Chenzhili is here for the emperor to drive." ”.
