Chapter 84: The Great War Begins

Thank you book friend 55947327 brother for your support, and thank you to the boss.

Kneel and beg for all kinds of support.

~~~~~~

By midday, the hill camp was already quite impressive.

The earthen wall has been reinforced to a height of more than three meters and a thickness of more than a meter, and the trench under the wall has been dug almost two meters deep.

At this scale, even if the Qing army comes with a thousand people, it is not too easy to manage.

However, Xu Changqing understands very well that this is just the beginning, and it is far from enough.

At this time, he did not have strong firepower, these trenches and earthen walls were actually just decorations, and if the Qing army attacked, he still had to fill them with human lives.

After that, the camp had to be more carefully planned and arranged, so that the pikemen had a good space to play.

Of course, if the Qing army really came with two or three thousand people, then Xu Changqing could only abandon this camp first, retreat to the sea, and then find other ways.

Just about to have lunch, Li Zhu and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived with catapults, 10,000 enemies and bamboo tube flowering bombs.

Xu Changqing's spirit was suddenly lifted!

With catapults and these flowering bombs, burning. Bullet help, even if the Tartars come with 2,000 people, I'm afraid they may not be able to try to defend a wave.

He personally went to greet Li Zhu and the others, and watched them move the catapults to the camp one by one, and brought thousands of enemies and bamboo tube flowering bombs, Xu Changqing beckoned Li Zhu and the officers to have lunch together.

Because of the appearance of those tartars with yellow flags and blue flags, many people have not eaten breakfast until now, and they have long been hungry.

After lunch, let the sons and daughters rest for a while, and nourish their mental strength, Xu Changqing took Zhao Zengjin, Ergou and other major officers to the small hillside and began to plan the planning and design of the camp.

At this point, an earthen wall trench is certainly not enough.

After that, maybe Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu will send troops over, Xu Changqing's original plan for the scale of the camp is to connect these three hills to form a large camp, which can be attacked and defended.

This hill camp is the heart of it, designed according to the specifications of the 'inner city'.

But at this time, manpower is limited, the overall situation is still unclear, Xu Changqing can only abandon some of the initial big settings first, and come down-to-earth according to the current conditions.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was too poisonous to work, and Xu Changqing had enough time to brainstorm.

It's just that there is no news from the main force so far, so Xu Changqing is slightly worried, there won't be another accident, right?

Just when Xu Changqing was planning the camp and the sons were recuperating, the Haoge camp dozens of miles away, not far from Jinzhou City, had just had some lunch, and Haoge, who was about to take a nap and rest, was suddenly exploded by the news that had just come.

In the spacious and luxurious tent, seeing that Haoge's entire body was full of anger, he couldn't help but tremble, Shungutu's forehead was tightly pressed against the delicate sheepskin carpet on the ground, his buttocks were facing the sky, and he didn't dare to breathe.

What could he do?

What else can be done?

Even the Ming army's hair didn't reach it, but he had already died with a leader, a white armor, and a vest...

It must be known that at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already at its peak, but the real Manchuria, which was full of combat power in adulthood, was only 100,000 people.

This is really a dead one, one less bone and blood.

If it was a dead Mongolian minion, the Han military banner, Haoge would definitely not be too distressed, but at this time, the inexplicable three minions were just gone.

Especially Daigu is still related to him, and he is his real clan......

Shungutu was ready for Hauge's storm, his throat constantly stirring, swallowing his saliva.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get by without being whipped today, but fortunately I didn't take off my armor.

However, Shun Gutu waited for a while, and found that the imaginary storm did not come, and Prince Su actually sat on the throne with an indescribable exhaustion.

This, what's going on?

Haoge didn't beat him, but Shungutu became a little unsteady, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Prince Su, it's useless to be a slave, if the slaves are careful, come back and report to you immediately, Daigu and they won't ......"

"Okay, okay, one less look like a dead father! If you are truly loyal to this king, you will not kneel here now! ”

Hauge waved his hand irritably.

“……”

Shun Gutu was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

At this time, Hauge also eased up a little.

Now is not the time to hold accountable, but to get to the bottom of the situation!

If it had been a few years ago, even a few months ago, Hauge would have ruthlessly whipped Shungutu, a waste whip, even if Shungutu was a person with a yellow flag.

But at this point, the situation is different!

This morning, there was news from Shengjing again, and Huang Ama's body seemed to be ...... It's not as strong as you think......

He Hauge has endured humiliation for so long, how could he not endure such a long time?

"Shungutu, you talk carefully about the appearance of those Ming troops, remember, if you say a wrong word, this king will screw your head off and kick it as a ball!"

Hauge glanced fiercely at Shungutu.

Looking at Haoge's appearance, Shungutu is relieved, this is the normal appearance of Prince Su...

Busy said: "Master, this Ming army is very weird, there is no banner, and there are many recruits, many of them are without an army. Wear. It can be seen that they should be the new army. But they also had warships, and there were more than two dozen of them, which should not be underestimated. The minion guessed that it was very likely that this was Xu Changqing's new army. However, where did these warships come from, the minions couldn't say for a while, and the minions didn't dare to be sure about the news......"

"Xu Changqing?"

Listening to Shun Gutu carefully recount the details, Hauge's brows have been wrinkled into the word 'Chuan'.

The more you are afraid, the more you come.

This Xu Changqing is really haunted!

In particular, he actually got a warship......

In Shungutu's words, although there are many hidden cautions, I dare not guarantee it, but how can Hauge be a fool? I already understand that these nine achievements are Xu Changqing!

This little bastard, do you really think that he Hauge is easy to mess with?

Shun Gutu looked at Haoge's expression, and was busy respectfully and tentatively: "Master, do you want to, do you want the slaves to order a few Niu Lu and go to destroy that Xu Changqing?" His camp is not yet firmly established, so it doesn't take much effort to think of it......"

Hauge nodded, just about to speak.

"Report ————"

"Matsuyama Urgent!"

At this time, the screams of the heralds came from outside the door.

"Huh?"

Hauge frowned.

Shungutu's complexion also changed, and he was busy looking out of the tent.

Soon, the herald stepped into the account quickly, and knelt down respectfully: "Master, Songshan is urgent!" Just a quarter of an hour ago, the vanguard of Yang Guozhu's division in Xuanfu Town of the Ming army had arrived at the foot of Rufeng Mountain, and the striker of Ruijun Wang was tentative with them. A wave of battles has successfully introduced them into the war zone......"

After the herald finished reporting, he left respectfully.

Hauge and Shungutu were also silent, lost in thought.

After a moment, Shun Gutu cautiously tested: "Master, the main force of Minggou has already come." This ......"

Hauge understood what Shungutu meant.

If the main force of the Ming army came over, and he wanted to exterminate Xu Changqing, he would not have so much time and manpower.

After thinking for a while, Haoge stared at Shungutu's eyes and said, "I can only give you three Niu Lu, before tomorrow night, if you can't take that Xu Changqing's dog head, you won't come back!" ”

"Three cows?"

Shun Gutu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he could rub one more Niu Lu, but he didn't want Hao Ge to give only three, but there were also thousands of people in the three Niu Lu, which was a lot.

In addition, some Han slaves, bulldozing and filling ditches today, and starting the attack tomorrow morning, it should not be a big problem, and this field will definitely be recovered.

Busy is respectfully kowtowed: "Chi! ”

At the end of the Shen period, the sun went down.

On Xu Changqing's side, the wharf has begun to be built, and the planning of the camp is also clear, and many auxiliaries and young men are leveling the land behind the earthen wall, forming a leveling soil slope with a slight slope.

More than ten meters behind the earthen wall, more than a dozen platforms higher than the earthen wall were piled up, which were used to place catapults.

After all, there is no real long-range covered firepower, and once the Tartars break through the defenses of the trench earthen wall, it will only be hand-to-hand combat!

Therefore, Xu Changqing could only choose the most suitable way to frame the camp in hand-to-hand combat.

As for the other, more sophisticated ideas, none of them can be established at this time, the time is too short, and the manpower is too small.

Moreover, the Tartars may come over at any time, and Xu Changqing also has to save manpower to ensure that he can cope with various fluctuations at any time.

Xu Changqing's three arrows are mighty today, and at this time they have also gained a snowball-like effect, although this kind of pure strength work is exhausting, many children are in good spirits, talking and laughing from time to time, and they have gradually come out of the shadow of fear.

When he first arrived in Youyou, Xu Changqing was about to go to the beach to see the construction of the wharf, when several small boats came quickly from the south.

It was Wang Anshan and others who went to communicate with the Chinese army.

Soon, Xu Changqing got a lot of information about the main force.

Hong Chengchou was very happy to get Xu Changqing's map, at this time, the main force of the Chinese army had already arrived in Xingshan, and it was estimated that he would be able to reach the Songshan front line the day after tomorrow at the latest.

And Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu were both arranged on the right side.

Cao Bianjiao's main force had already arrived in the Songshan area at this time, and Wang Pu was slow but fast.

Moreover, at noon today, Yang Guozhu's forward elite cavalry conducted a wave of tentative conduct with the white flag of the Qing army. In the exchange of fire, the Qing army was cautious and retreated.

The vanguard of Yang Guozhu's division should have occupied a part of the favorable terrain in the southern part of Rufeng Mountain at this time.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

The curtain has finally opened!

This kind of thing, Xu Changqing is also difficult to say at this time, he can't express it, after all, he has a low position and a very limited right to speak, and what he can do before has basically tried his best to achieve the limit, and he can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.

Unfolded the map, roughly marking the locations of the various units of the Ming army, as well as the main garrison points of the Qing army that are currently known.

Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the situation is very serious, at present, everything is still on track, and the deployment of the Ming army is still very calm, and there are not too many flaws.

In addition, he has instructed Yang Guozhu several times before, Yang Guozhu should be on guard, as long as he is not beheaded by the Qing army as soon as he comes up, he will be hit with a big stick, and it should not be a big problem.

Just about to let Wang Anshan rest, Wang Anshan suddenly patted his head and said busily: "That's right, general." When I came back just now, something happened, and there seemed to be something wrong in this area. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing looked into Wang Anshan's eyes.

Wang Anshan was clever and hurriedly explained: "General, in order to be in a hurry, we originally wanted to ride a fast horse to rush over, but we found that there were many Tartar rangers in the surrounding area, and they were all extremely elite, blocking a large long line seventeen or eighteen miles south of us, so we had no choice but to turn back and change boats." Isn't it ...... over here?"

"Enemy situation!"

"Enemy situation!"

"Enemy Spotting!"

Before Wang Anshan finished speaking, a soldier on the watchtower screamed.

Xu Changqing didn't have time to pay too much attention, so he quickly rushed to the high platform built at the top of the mountain to check the situation.

Suddenly, Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed fiercely, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly!

Fortunately, Xu Changqing had instructed the soldiers on these watchtowers before, not letting them directly explode the enemy numbers.

Otherwise, the camp, which has finally stabilized, may be rioting again!

At this time, there were at least a thousand war horses in front, with banners and a large area of black pressure, and it was impossible to see how many people there were, and they were slowly coming towards the camp!
