Chapter 947: Life is a Process of Temptation
"Quack, quack, quack......"
On the trees in the distance, there were suddenly a few crows, and the curtain brought some life to this quiet battlefield.
But it was soon swept away by the cold spring breeze, only to let the bloody smell spread wider, thicker, and clearer.
At this time, the sons and daughters of the model army were already eating all kinds of fast food to replenish their strength, and Xu Changqing also beckoned Zhang Baozhu to eat something.
But at this moment, even Xu Changqing doesn't have so many privileges, he eats dry cakes, crispy fish and pickles, and there is no hot water, only the cool white water prepared when he set off in the morning in the kettle.
Zhang Baozhu didn't feel that some dry food was difficult to swallow at this time, and he was really hungry, and the food was very sweet.
Xu Changqing is also average.
The two only occasionally made eye contact, but they didn't speak, but everything was silent.
After eating, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened up as if they were returning to light, Zhang Baozhu finally couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "Changqing, do you still want to fight......
Xu Changqing nodded: "Baozhu, don't think too much." Relax a little. This big battle is about to begin! ”
Zhang Baozhu was busy biting his red lip hard, looking at Xu Changqing and looking at the handsome side face on the battlefield.
In fact, she really wanted to ask Xu Changqing more questions, and continued to understand a lot, but looking at Xu Changqing's state, she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only try her best to adjust her state, and really perceive the battlefield through her eyes and body and mind.
At this time, seeing that the children of the tribes had almost eaten, Xu Changqing also issued a new order: "Dispose of the surrounding corpses, especially the corpses of war horses, and dig fortifications on the spot!" ’
Soon, the periphery of the entire model army battle formation was quickly busy, countless engineers, auxiliaries, and civilians flew with sappers in their hands, many messy trenches were dug out, and various earthen walls were quickly piled up in front of the battle array, and they immediately took on the appearance.
The main thing is that the rain has been going on for a long time, and the soil in the ground is very soft to dig and does not require much effort.
……
"These dogs Nikan! Xu Changqing, a mongrel, has a nose that is really smarter than a dog! Brother, things seem to be a little bad......"
In the middle of the Qing army, Duoduo saw the appearance of the model army, his eyes widened, and he quickly gritted his teeth again.
The faces of the people of Zilharang and Azig were not good-looking.
Zilharang said: "In such a state, today's fighter plane, I am afraid, has lost ......"
Azig said: "Damn it, success is also this weather, defeat is also this weather, there are too many gaps in the battlefield and too big." Ay! ”
Fan Wencheng hurriedly laughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is actually not a bad thing. The model army has gathered so many slaves at once, and I am afraid that there are at least tens of thousands of people, and their food and salary will definitely be insufficient. If we come here a few more times, perhaps, we can go to the army without a fight. ”
Hong Chengchou sneered: "Master Fan is really good at talking, the sky is already clear, do you really think that the model army will be idle at night?" They're capable of fighting at night! ”
"This ......"
Fan Wencheng was speechless for a moment, and the picture of the terrifying hot air balloon all over the sky appeared in his mind.
There was some silence in the crowd.
After a while, Ning Wan frowned and said, "Today, this is really a non-war crime." Who would have thought that Xu Changqing would use this method to defuse so many slave attacks...... Lord Regent, my lords, we must find a way to solve this problem. ”
Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others were also busy answering.
Dolgon scanned the crowd with cold eyes, without any expression on his face, as if his face was paralyzed.
At this time, he was also deeply aware of the advantages and disadvantages of their strategic approach.
The idea was very good, the planning was very good, and the implementation was also very good, but in the face of Xu Changqing's flexible decision, they were a little unable to keep up.
Who would have thought that Xu Changqing would actually order to camp directly?
Even though in the long run, it is very beneficial for them to camp on the spot now, but the various terrifying firearms of the Model Army, especially their ability to fight at night, are like nightmares, and they can't help but shroud the hearts of everyone in the Great Qing Kingdom.
But what can be done?
Can this be wished that Wu Sangui and them will not contribute?
No!
They have already contributed today, and they are very contributing, and even when the model army cavalry went out to fight just now, they would rather give up these living forces to cultivate the fighters behind.
But it is......
was lightly ordered by Xu Changqing to build fortifications on the spot, and it was directly destroyed......
At this point, even Dolgon was a little confused, and he really didn't know what to do......
Their biggest advantage is the cavalry, which uses cavalry to charge into battle, but at this time, the model army is a kind of fortification, even if it is very simple and mottled, the cavalry is not powerful.
At this time, it is no longer a matter of unwisdom, but self-destruction......
"Whew."
After a while, Dorgon breathed a long sigh of relief, "Let's stop today." Ordered all departments to withdraw at least thirty miles, no matter what, never give the model army a chance to attack at night! ”
Only then did the messy crowd stop arguing, and they were busy in unison.
……
"The Tartars are back, haha, the Tartars are back......"
"Haha, we won, we've won, we've won......"
"I'm a model army and a thousand victories!"
"Wansheng, Wansheng ......"
As all the units of the Qing army began to rush out of the camp, a warm call soon sounded in the battle formation of the model army.
Zhang Baozhu couldn't stop getting excited, jumped off the horse like a little girl, sang and danced, and vented the unhappiness in her heart to the fullest.
Xu Changqing's brows furrowed slightly, but soon he stretched out, and a smile gradually hung on the corner of his mouth.
I thought that the Qing army would fight for their lives tonight, but who would have thought that they would give up after simply building some fortifications and testing.
From this, it can also be seen that the problems in their internal are definitely worse than they think!
The influence of the Great Qing Kingdom on the great masters of the Han Army Banner is gradually declining!
However, Xu Changqing deeply understands his own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not a good thing for the Qing army to retreat at this time!
The most straightforward point is that the mobility of the model army is not enough!
As a semi-firearms army, and even the firearms arms are close to half, the amount of ammunition required by the model army to go out is a terrifying astronomical amount.
This directly leads to the fact that even if there is a war horse support, the speed of the model army is very difficult, because it has to carry some ammunition for heavy firearms, not to mention that there are not so many war horses to support it, and at this time, there are so many Han slaves who are burdensome.
But whether to make a move tonight, whether to carry out a night attack or not, Xu Changqing also fell into a rather painful entanglement at this time.
It's still the old saying: "It's better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers!" ”
At this time, the retreat of the various units of the Qing army seemed to be messy, but in fact it successfully dispersed the troops, which led to the fact that even if the model army sent hot air balloon troops to pursue, it would be difficult to achieve the desired results.
Not to mention that there was rain everywhere on the ground at this time, and sharp weapons such as incendiary bombs were basically useless.
If you attack rashly and scare these Han army flag troops away, then the problem will be even greater.
After all, the location of the model army at this time is still seventy or eighty miles away from Yangzhou.
But if you don't make a move, let these Han army flags run away, and the model army will march tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid that we will have to face more unpredictable variables!
"Huh. The battle of national fortunes, how can it be so simple? ”
Xu Changqing suddenly chuckled, took out a dry tobacco bag, and lit a bag of cigarettes.
He wants to use the familiar taste of tobacco to calm himself down and calm down, seeking an entry point, maybe not perfect, but it must be malleable, even if it is a small loss.
After thinking about it, Wang Xi rushed over and whispered to Xu Changqing in a low voice: "Dashuai, how to dispose of the corpses in the battlefield?" We don't have a lot of charcoal fire, and we're a little nervous about handling the carcasses of our war horses......"
Xu Changqing frowned slightly, but soon stretched out again.
That's one of the embarrassments.
Here and now, in such a scene, if these corpses are not disposed of quickly, and the spring breeze blows, God knows what will go wrong.
But now it can't be burned, I'm afraid I can only bury it, which will waste the physical strength of the people, and the time of death is staggered, and there is already a risk of infectious diseases.
Moreover, there is no clean water source in the model army battle formation at this time, and drinking it is a problem, not to mention letting these women and children take a bath......
But the problems are all there to solve!
Xu Changqing thought for a while and said: "Ling Ye will not be prepared, wait to go to the surrounding villages and towns to check, choose a suitable campsite, and in addition, Ling Dajun will pack up and prepare to move on!" Another ......"
Xu Changqing lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Wang Xi in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Wang Xi's eyes lit up, and he was busy giving orders.
Soon, the entire model army battle array was operational, and the Qing army rangers who had been wandering around were in a commotion, and many war horses quickly rushed in all directions.
Looking at their appearance, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth.
Ten minutes later, the Qing army rangers outside the model army battle formation quickly increased a lot, and the flies that didn't know where to hide also began to increase, flying everywhere around a lot of blood and corpses.
However, Xu Changqing didn't have the energy to solve the problem of these corpses at this time, so he could only leave it for tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow to deal with it.
When the time comes, it will only be a waste of some incendiary bombs.
"Hot air balloon team, ready to take off!"
After another ten minutes, all the units of the Model Army, including the Han slaves, were ready, and hundreds of hot air balloons suddenly rose in the Model Army formation.
This made the Qing army's sentry cavalry suddenly explode, and no one dared to fight in front of the model army again, so they hurriedly scattered and went back to report the news.
And many model soldiers who did not collect at night also quickly spread out to investigate the surrounding situation.
Not long after, news came that five or six miles northeast of the location of the Model Army at this time, there was a destroyed town, which was supposed to be the garrison of a certain unit of the Qing Army, and it had been cleaned up and clean.
Xu Changqing immediately ordered, the hot air balloon troops continued to spread forward to chase and kill, and the army moved to that small town.
The heavens and the earth quickly became chaotic, and the huge model army battle array, like a giant beast that was moving slowly, actually swept itself to the northeast.
However, at this time, Xu Changqing convened many core generals such as Zhao Zengjin, Zhang Hu, Wang Anshan, Wang Hongyang, and Zhao Qiliang.
Zhang Baozhu also dressed up as a small soldier to observe.
But after listening to it for a while, Zhang Baozhu's heart was mentioned in his throat, and he almost couldn't breathe.
She had long known that Xu Changqing was very bold, but she didn't expect that his courage could be so big......
