Chapter 681: Rolling Heaven's Will!
Early the next morning, the rain had already stopped, and the model army had already cleared out more than a mile of quarantine around Peacock Ridge.
These are quicklimes.
The mountains are truly a treasure trove.
At this time, the Model Army had already built several lime kilns in the rear of Peacock Ridge.
The output is certainly not comparable to the normal area, but it is enough to control the situation at this time.
At the foot of the mountain, in a dry and airy shady area that is downwind, countless lime-soaked headers are piled up on wooden shelves under the canopy to dry like specimens.
The open space at the upwind outlet, a few hundred meters away, was filled with all kinds of blades and armor.
Because the Tuban Department was smoked to death, these blades and armor were basically not destroyed, and they could be used when they were used, and this alone was already worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.
The craftsmen of the Great Qing Kingdom would never dare to cut corners when making these blades and armor!
It's a pity that in the mountains and forests, these iron armors are not needed for the time being.
As Xu Changqing expected, in yesterday's battle, the model army had almost no casualties, which was completely negligible.
However, what Xu Changqing was most worried about still happened, and some sons had begun to get sick because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.
After listening to the reports of Zhao Zengjin, Zhang Hu and others, Xu Changqing nodded and said: "This area where the head level is stored, plus a mud wall, pile the mud wall a little higher." In addition, first of all, ensure the food of the quarantined soldiers, and be sure to take care of them! ”
"Yes!"
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, nodded heavily, and their hearts were warm.
Over the years, even in the most dangerous state, as long as he could have a choice, Xu Changqing would never let go of a brother in the model army.
This also makes the centripetal force of many children of the model army more and more huge!
After the inspection was over, the red lady returned to Peacock Ridge with Xu Changqing, looked at the east direction, and said with a slight worry: "Changqing, the Tartar seems to have a long memory, this is to trap us here......"
Xu Changqing smiled: "I am beaten every day, and it is strange if I don't have a long memory." Don't panic, our grain and grass can last for ten days without hindrance. ”
The red lady relaxed slightly, but muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you say that we should set up an ambush for the Tartars, why are the Tartars now surround us?" Changqing, I don't know how to say it, and maybe I shouldn't say it, but it's not practical not to say it. Although the terrain is good at this time, it can ...... I always had a bad feeling in my heart. This kind of terrain is really unrealistic......"
Xu Changqing glared at the red lady.
The red lady hurriedly lowered her head weakly, not daring to look at Xu Changqing.
These words slapped Xu Changqing in the face......
However, Xu Changqing was not angry, and soon smiled: "Sister Hong, have you seen this rolling stream?" Each of us is like a drop of water in this stream, this rolling and flowing, like the will of heaven. Do you really think that we can casually disobey the will of heaven with a drop of water? ”
"This ......"
The red lady didn't expect Xu Changqing to say such philosophical words so seriously.
Xu Changqing smiled and patted her back, "Don't worry. Calm down. The rhythm is actually under our control. If we continue to wander in the mountains and hide from the Tartars, we will fall into the rhythm of the Tartars. We still know too little about this mountain. At this time, the Tartar is fixed, and the follow-up main forces will definitely come in one after another, and we have more choices. ”
"Changqing, what do you mean ......"
The red lady had faintly touched Xu Changqing's thoughts, and her beautiful eyes lit up.
Xu Changqing smiled and lit a bag of cigarettes: "As long as the Tartars are introduced into the mountains and they are not allowed to go out, we will succeed most of the time!" However, the mountains are unpredictable, we really can't delay for too long, we must find a way to break the enemy as soon as possible! ”
……
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Go, the time has come to July 13th.
At this time, the main forces of the two red flags had basically arrived in this area, and between the layers, they surrounded dozens of large and small hills, imprisoning the model army.
Looking at the past from afar, the dense mountain forests that used to be verdant and beautiful were already in shambles, with black ash and broken everywhere, and even smoke curling during the day, and visibility was extremely low.
In the Qing army, there were obviously good border soldiers of the Ming army.
The Ming army has a tradition of burning mountains since ancient times, especially the border army, which has to burn every year to burn dangerous mountains and prevent accidents.
At this time, there was enough water in the mountains, and although the fire did not burn much, they successfully used this method to force the model army to move.
This state of affairs is not at all suitable for large-scale operations.
And the 'biological and chemical weapons' that Xu Changqing prepared before did not come in handy.
These miscellaneous creatures were more clever than monkeys, and the next day they collected the remains of the Tuban Department and buried them directly on the spot, and distanced themselves from these mountains, as if they were very careful.
On a hill at the end of the peacock's right wing, Du Du looked gloomily at the many banners of the model army on the Peacock Ridge immersed in smoke, and he was still a little uneasy.
What a shame!
This is definitely the greatest shame in his life!
Tuban, this waste, not only lost his little life, but also lost his Du Du and the face of the entire Qing Dynasty.
When Dolgon got the news, he scolded him in the letter, and he was bloody.
But at this time, Shi Shan has already established a strategic goal, mainly to besiege the model army, not to mention the depression in Du Du's heart.
"Master, it's not normal for the model army to be a little quiet these days. There's no way for us to drag it out like this...... Why don't we find an opportunity to secretly send some warriors over to test the water? There are not many people, one or two hundred is enough. ”
Seeing that Du Du was depressed, his other henchman, Ah Dai, rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
At this time, although the main force of Tuban was wiped out, they couldn't bear to have wives and children, this is a big fortune!
Adai has been coveting it for a long time.
Du Du didn't give Ah Dai a good face: "Dog minion, don't fucking fart!" Isn't it enough to be ashamed! In case something happens again this time, you can vouch for it with your head! ”
"Forehead ......"
Ah Dai was choked and almost vomited blood, but he also understood Du Du's thoughts, 'Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years', and now like this, without conclusive certainty, Du Du didn't dare to mess around again.
But this is not difficult for Adai.
He rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Master, we don't have to move, we can let Luo Luohun them move." The model army entered the mountain in a hurry, and at this time it was surrounded here, and there must not be much grain and grass. It's a good idea for us to drag here at this time, but that's for Luo Luohun and them. It's not a wise choice for us to drag it out like this......"
Du Du also understood what Ah Dai meant at this time.
That's right.
Now anyone can afford to drag it, but he Du Du can't afford it.
If you really want to wait until the model army runs out of ammunition and food, everyone will rush up, even if he can grab the merits, he Du Du will still have to carry this big black cauldron......
"It's not that you can't try it. So, Ah Dai, you dog slave go see Luo Luohun and ask him to send someone over to try it. The model army's gang of dogs, Nikan, are quiet and a little unusual! ”
"Wow!"
Ah Dai was overjoyed, and he was busy and left quickly.
Du Du couldn't help frowning, he always felt that something was wrong.
……
"Send someone over and give it a try?"
The two Luo Luohun brothers were having breakfast, and when they heard Ming Adai's intention, the two brothers couldn't help but look at each other.
After a moment, Luo Luo said: "It's not impossible. Ah Dai, you go back to Tongbing Banner Lord immediately, and I will act as soon as I have breakfast here. ”
"Okay, thank you Master Bei."
Looking at the back of Ah Dai's excited departure, Luo Luo hurriedly said: "Brother, this dog thing is clearly displayed."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If you use us as guns, why should you still do it? ”
Luo Luohun sneered: "If you want to use me as a gun, how can it be so easy?!" San'er, we should take a long-term view, we should focus on the overall situation! ”
“……”
Luo Luohuan was speechless for a while, but he also understood what his brother meant, at this time, some personal grievances are nothing, and the overall situation must be the first priority!
Soon, the two or three hundred sentinels of the Luo Luohun Department were divided into more than a dozen teams and cautiously approached the battle formation of the model army.
After a short time, they all touched the 'quarantine area' of the model army and came to the stream.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang ......"
In a moment, the terrible chirping of birds continued to sound, and the sons of the model army hidden by the creek suddenly opened fire, and several unprepared Tartars were directly put to the ground. How dare others slack off? Busy is to crawl on the ground in a hurry.
Du Du and Luo Luohun all saw it very clearly from the high platform on their respective hills, and their minds were all settled, the model army did not run around, they were still in this mountain.
Soon, the sentry in front did not dare to rush forward, and brought many hunting dogs to make a test.
"Wow!"
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
The hound barked quickly, and it was obvious that there were a lot of people in the area controlled by the Model Army!
Du Du and Luo Luohun finally put their minds at ease, as long as the main force of the model army did not retreat westward, everything would be easy to say.
But what they don't know is!
At this time, several units of a group of more than ten or twenty people formed a model army squad, each person's body and face were dyed camouflage by the juice of flowers and leaves, hidden in the inner and outer areas that they did not notice, and they had been enduring for five days, and the situation around the official road in front of them and behind them was almost investigated!
In the evening of the same day, Xu Changqing received accurate news!
The main peak of Peacock Ridge.
In Xu Changqing's big tent, the commanders and generals of all the departments of the Model Army gathered together.
"Whoa!"
Xu Changqing personally unfolded the accurate map drawn by the night guards, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is clear now. Several grain and grass camps in the Tartars are all around the official road. Although they came in with some artillery and built some high platforms, the number of artillery pieces was not large, and the power was not strong enough! I am ready to launch a general assault on the Tartars at dawn the day after tomorrow! ”
The generals suddenly perked up, and they all looked at Xu Changqing with some excitement.
Xu Changqing didn't ink, and carefully analyzed: "The three grain and grass camps of the Luo Luohun brothers are five miles northwest of the official road due east, four miles away from the southeast, and four miles away from the north. The four grain and grass camps of the Dudu Department are all displayed in the south direction, and the layout is similar. This also means that it is very difficult for us to destroy the grain and grass of the Tartars! Therefore, we must choose the target accurately! ”
Everyone nodded.
The range of the model army hot air balloon is actually good, if it is not loaded, and it is full of fuel, it will not be a problem to fly fifty or sixty miles, or even more.
But not bearing weight has no effect.
This campaign is still to be carried out with hot air balloons as the core.
Giving everyone some time to think, Xu Changqing continued: "The narrowest part of the northern part of the official road, located eighteen miles east of us, there is a small valley here, which can be used as a 'plug'!" ”
As he spoke, Xu Changqing's big hand pressed here fiercely, and pointed to another node in the south: "Here is a bridge in the south, a wild bridge, which is the downstream of this stream!" Although the Tartars have a cow lu stationed there, the firepower is not strong, and the sealing problem is not big! But it takes time! So, we have to create time to attract the attention of the Tartars and let the balloons pass! ”
Everyone understood what Xu Changqing meant, and they all straightened up.
Xu Changqing looked around at the generals, and his momentum suddenly froze: "Now, I order!" ”
"Whoa!"
All the generals immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, "Humble duty!" ”
Xu Changqing nodded with satisfaction, and simply and decisively arranged the task!
