The Qing army once again rose like a tide, and then retreated like a tide.

Eji. He Mueller was very unwilling, although he had also doubted before why the forward troops had been within a mile of Ma'anshan for so long, and the anti-thieves did not open fire.

Although he was told that it might be the anti-thief's shells.

But Eji. Homuller knew that these were just words of comfort. Judging from the defensive structure of Ma'anshan, how could it be possible to finish the shells in one moment of bombing?

But as far as the situation at that time is concerned, even believing that words is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst. Homuller also had to swallow it. Because there is no other way but to take your life to fill the fire.

And the troops of the vanguard also believe this, which will save a lot of trouble, after all, as long as they can get close to the bottom of Ma'anshan, the army can press up and attack.

It's a tough battle, Eji. Homuller now knows. But he didn't expect the thief to be so bold, and even the artillery dared to close the distance before firing.

Know that artillery is different from muskets. The musket can fire several rounds in a row within ten breaths, but the time of ten breaths is only one or two rounds for artillery.

The distance of one mile, if the cavalry charges, it will only take ten breaths, even if it is infantry, it will only be about thirty breaths.

As far as cavalry charges are concerned, if it is only one or two rounds of artillery strikes, this mortality rate should be completely bearable. And once the cavalry charges into the anti-thief artillery position, the anti-thief artillery will be like a lamb to the slaughter.

However, the thieves had such courage, and they did indeed repel the attack of the Qing army.

"It seems that it's just a hard bargain with the anti-thief, no, you have to think of other ways." Two miles away, looking at Eji, whose forward rout was finally stopped. He Mueller couldn't help but think.

Ma'anshan, as a big mountain in the plains, must be able to attack more than one side. Although the bandit army built Ma'anshan as solid as an iron barrel, as long as you look for it carefully, you will definitely be able to find a suitable place for attacking.

Eji. He Mule raised his clairvoyant eyes and searched quietly.

At this moment, follow in Eji. The Qing generals beside He Mule were quietly looking at Eji. Ho Mueller.

The rout of the striker Green Battalion has deeply shocked them. They were also afraid that they would make some noisy noises and anger Eji, who was in a bad mood at the moment. Ho Mueller.

After a small half of incense

Eji. He Mueller was still raising his clairvoyant eyes, looking around in the direction of Ma'anshan.

Silent, calm, and not even showing a trace of emotion on his face.

Originally, I thought that the Qing army's attack was weak and the rout of the forward troops would make Eji. He Mueller was furious. But now it seems that Eji. He Mueller is not as mediocre and simple as rumored to be.

Along the Eji. The direction that He Mueller is looking at, Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi also raised his clairvoyant eyes and looked over.

"Lord He, is this looking for a new offensive point to deal with Ma'anshan?" After watching for a while, Aixinjue Luo Yongqi seemed to feel something. He Mueller asked.

"That's right, Fifth Brother." Eji. He Mueller nodded in response.

"But I've just taken a closer look at their defenses, and they're all very symmetrical. And their guns seem to be very easy to move. If this continues to be the case, attacking Ma On Shan with a point of view, it is estimated that the result will be similar. ”

Hearing this, Aixinjue Luo Yongqi once again raised the clairvoyant eyes in his hand and looked at Ma'anshan.

A moment later

"The situation is indeed similar to what Lord He said, and I just took a look at the low walls of the trenches they built, and it seems that they are also very particular. And in front of the low walls of their trenches, there seemed to be some barbed wire. This team is no less difficult than a wall for the troops who attack it. Aixinjue Luo Yongqi sighed.

"It can only be said that the person who designed this defensive structure is an out-and-out master."

"Fifth Elder Brother, now is not the time to praise the good anti-thief defense structure!" Eji. He Mule said with a slightly wry smile.

"Yes, yes, Lord He taught me a lesson. I was also shocked by the mountain defense structure designed by the anti-thieves for a while, and I really couldn't imagine that a mediocre hill could be designed so strongly. I don't know what kind of person it is who can design such a powerful fortification. If it can be used by my Qing Dynasty, it will be really great. "Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi sighed again. There was even a hint in his eyes that he wanted to recruit the master in his mouth for the imperial court at all costs.

"Fifth Elder Brother, although I don't know who the person who designed this kind of defense structure is, but the person who can design this kind of defense that has never been seen since ancient times. It is estimated that it is inseparable from the anti-thief Shou Zhang Rui, who I know you and I know, but I have never seen it, how can such a person be used by my Qing court? "Eji. He Mueller replied.

"Lord He is right, I have not thought about it. If I could, I would really like to meet that thief Zhang Rui and see what kind of person he is, I heard that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. "I remembered that Zhang Rui was about the same age as himself, and he loved Xinjueluo. Yongqi was still a little looking forward to it, and he was quite sorry for the hero and the hero.

"People say that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. To be honest, it's not just you, I'd like to meet him. Only by understanding him can we understand what he thinks in his heart and find a way to defeat him. ”

"However, since I went south, most of the information I have learned about him has come from hearsay, and the real information about him has rarely been disseminated. Most of the rumors are not credible, and some are even ignorant. So it's really hard to analyze him. "Eji. He Mule also calmly echoed Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi's words came.

"The only thing that is certain now is that he is indeed very capable, otherwise it would be impossible to fight such a force by himself."

"Yes, if there is such a person, it would be good if the court could recruit peace. As long as he is willing to return to my Qing Dynasty, I am even willing to guarantee him a vassal king similar to the three feudal clans back then, who can support his own troops and respect himself. "Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi thought about it and said seriously.

"The fifth elder brother's idea is very good, it would be great if the imperial court could recruit them. They fought us to the death, but they just wanted to enjoy the blessings. If you can solve the problem without fighting and without dying, then why not? "Eji. He Mueller echoed with a smile on his face.
