Cao Zhenyan's teammates sold extremely beautifully this time, and it was also extremely crucial. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As a result of the timely organization of nearly 1,000 guns to carry out intensive blocking and shooting against the Nanyue Army that was rapidly pursuing, not only was the northern part of Guo Ding almost completely annihilated, but even the Nanyue Army with the trailing army also suffered heavy losses.

Hundreds of corpses fell before the trenches.

Later, although the Eastern Soldiers and the garrison brigade took turns to attack and captured the four trenches, it was also getting late, and the physical strength of rushing through the four trenches was exhausted, and this earth-shattering angry wave was finally stopped before the trenches. The battle situation has finally stabilized.

Looking at the flickering lights in the trench that originally belonged to him more than 100 steps away, there was a faint sound of shovels and pickaxes digging the earth and the whispers of soldiers and people, thinking that the Nanyue Army was repairing and renovating the fortifications and preparing to use them in the next war. Several generals set their eyes on Cao Zhenyan, trying to get instructions from Lord Jueluo, whether we should stick to it or take back the lost fortifications, but Cao Zhenyan sat on the ground and didn't have the strength to say a word for a long time.

"Lord Jueluo, four of our seven trenches have been captured by the Nanban, are the minions waiting for late at night to take people to touch them and take back the position?"

After a little panting, he took the teapot mixed with a lot of white sugar from the hand of the house slave, poured half a pot of hot sugar tea in one go, and rested for a while, so that he had the strength to respond to the request of the slave in front of him.

"You go and choose some elite soldiers and horses, not too many, seven or eight hundred people are enough, and if there are more, you will send meat to him Nanban. All bring big swords and sharp axes, assemble on the third watch, set off on the fourth watch, and take back the trench for Lao Tzu! Also, tell those minions that whoever is selected will be given five silver dollars as a reward for each person, and the coat will be carried by the flag. The new annex immediately became its own. ”

"After regaining the position, each person who is alive will be rewarded with twenty silver dollars, and those who are dead will be given thirty yuan for settling in, and five yuan for burning and burying money!"

There will be brave men under the great reward. Anyway, on this battlefield where flesh and blood are flying and life is fleeting, everyone has long seen through life and death, and if you have money, naturally some people are willing to sell your life. The silver dollars of the white flowers were placed in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and there were many of them, and more than 700 members of the selection team were selected.

Just wait for the third watch to quietly find out of the barracks, fight with the Nanyue army at night, hand-to-hand combat, kill him with a head, and take back a few trenches.

At night, Cao Zhenyan received an order from Duoduo to meet him in the camp. There was nothing to say all the way, and after seeing Duoduo, Cao Zhenyan found that this prince was a master of inciting grief, only to see that he had his own soundtrack function, the shouts of the wounded soldiers, the busy sound of the auxiliary soldiers, the patrol sound of the armored soldiers, and the sigh that he did not make, but could be seen at a glance, filled the entire camp with the atmosphere of the orchestral music of failure. However, Lao Cao automatically ignored these atmospheres, and still saluted and waited for his master's orders.

Duoduo was not in the mood to be polite, and said straight to the point: "Lao Cao, we have suffered a big defeat today and suffered heavy losses, and the responsibility lies with me." But we have received the great favor of the regent, and we cannot always repay the defeat with defeat, so if you have any strategy for defeating the enemy, come and teach me quickly. Cao Zhenyan grinned, and said in his heart that if I could win, I would have done it a long time ago, and I would talk nonsense to you. Of course, you can't say that, after all, Duoduo is the master. Moreover, he was also very moved by Duoduo's ability to take responsibility, after all, people didn't learn to slaughter Guo Dingbei by themselves, so Cao Zhenyan said: "The slave will die, and he will return after a big defeat, which will damage the military prestige and disgrace the master." If it is said that it is a strategy to defeat the enemy, the slave is really uncertain for the time being, but he has a little experience. ”

Duoduo hurriedly asked, "What do you know?" ”

Cao Zhenyan stabilized his mind before saying: "Master, we all fought hard from Tashan, but in the past, we still didn't know enough about the Southern Barbarians. In the Battle of Tashan, Li Huamei, a madwoman, relied on artillery and rockets to commit murder, which gave us an impression that as long as the southern barbarians did not have the advantage of firearms, it would not be difficult to deal with. However, it turns out that we are wrong, and the best skill of the Southern Barbarians is not firearms, but fighting! The defeat of our army in this battle was defeated in the field wave battle, and the fighting skills of the southern barbarians were compared. The southern barbarians are fierce and not afraid of death, and they fight in formation, and there are always several people against our army. In a corner of the land to fight more and less, in the overall situation is to be one as ten, our army is not not heroic, but because it does not learn the art of fighting the southern barbarians. Every time they were in battle, countless Bayala soldiers and white-armored soldiers suffered a big loss in this trick. The minions also taught the tactics of the Southern Barbarians, so they sent cavalry to drill according to the laws of the Southern Barbarian Cavalry, but the result was not in accordance with the law, but was defeated. According to the slaves, the method of fighting this southern barbarian is good, but it can be learned in a short time, so if our army wants to be undefeated, the main point is in six words. ”

Duoduo hurriedly asked, "You speak quickly?" Cao Zhenyan spit out six words unhurriedly: "Tie hard and fight in a daze!" Duoduo listened and thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, but he still asked with a little worry: "Lao Cao, you have a way, and this king agrees, but what should we do exactly?" ‘

Cao Zhenyan said: "The specific tactics are naturally to try our best to avoid field battles, dig trenches as deep as possible, consolidate the camps, and concentrate superior forces in every battle, and only fight with them in the barracks and trenches. If you have to fight in the field, the distance between the phalanxes should be widened. In this battle, the distance between our army's phalanx is too close, and the enemy still has the strength to break through our army's six formations today, and if they do not exhaust their physical strength, it is difficult to have a chance of victory. ”

After talking about his tactical concept, Cao Zhenyan paused for a while, giving his master a little more time to digest and think. Seeing that Duoduo's expression had softened a lot, he continued.

"In the art of war, it is said that the right match is the best way to win. What the slave just said was to fight against Nanban by dignified means. However, if you want to win, you have to surprise yourself. ”

"What odd soldiers? How does this king come out? Where? Seeing Cao Zhenyan mention the victory of the strange soldiers, he couldn't help but lift Duoduo's spirits, and he held Cao Zhenyan's hand tightly, eager for him to say it immediately.

"Master, the slave said that the slave was also trained by Li Huamei with cannon fire in Tashan. After that battle, the minions were thinking about how to deal with the Nanban's artillery superiority every moment of the day. Today, with the blessing of my ancestors and ancestors, I finally let the slaves have a little experience! ”

"The slave of the dog day, don't go around in circles in front of this king to sell the guanzi, hurry up!"

"Master, you can think about it, whether it was Li Huamei back then or Li Huayu now, their cannon fire, cannon rockets, and sub-medicine are all fired into our formation as if they don't need money. How much can they carry in the army? It's not like it's going to be transported from the rear! ”

"You mean to say that we can emulate Cao Cao once? Also play the Black Nest Grain Raid?! "Duoduo is also a smart man, and his years of experience in war have made him even more transparent.

"The master is really a seven-trick exquisite heart! On the same day, we fought a decisive battle with the Ming army and horses in Jinzhou Guangning, didn't we just cut off the grain route of the Ming army? ! If we stand out with strange soldiers, rush to Li Huayu's grain road, burn and blow up his sub-medicine with a fire, his artillery team will have no cannon gunpowder, and the firecracker soldiers will have no gunpowder lead, our soldiers will have a place to show, forcing him to fight with us with white blades! ”

Duoduo paced back and forth in his tent, calculating in his head, comparing forces to see if the army could accomplish such a task.

"Alas! The most hateful soldiers and horses in their hands are overstretched! The soldiers and horses did not dare to move. As soon as you move, there is a hole in the line of defense. Moreover, we were so close to the Southern Barbarians that the sentry horses on both sides were haunted by each other. As soon as our soldiers and horses move, the Nanban will hear the wind immediately! ”

"Master, the slave is a bit foolish. It's just that this matter is too big, and the slave is afraid of making the master angry, so he doesn't dare to say it. ”

"You minion! The battle has come to this juncture, do you still care if the king is angry or not! ”

"Master." Cao Zhenyan paused, began to consider the vocabulary, and spoke to Duoduo.

"At the moment, we don't have any extra soldiers and horses in our hands to attack Li Huayu's rear, cut off the river, and cut off his supply of grain, grass and medicine. However, to the west, Prince Ying's army of more than 200,000 was pursuing the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Li Chuang from Shanxi. In the humble opinion of the slave, the prince can repair a book to explain the situation here. Ask the master of the Prince of England to select thousands of elite horsemen, and one person will come with thousands of miles of horses. All it takes is a fire in the river to make a big difference. It's just, it's just... ”

Cao Zhenyan's meaning is very clear. With the help of Azig's soldiers and horses, this is the great thing. Among his subordinates, there are not only the surrendered troops of the Dashun army, but also the soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui, who are not only familiar with the situation of the Dashun army, but also familiar with the situation of the Nanyue army, and can completely break through the road.

However, in this way, the great achievement of defeating Li Huayu will have to give Azig a large amount of money.

"It's okay! As long as Li Huayu can be defeated, Prince Ying, this king will order someone to repair the book! That's the king's own brother, how about giving him some credit?! ”

"The prince is wise, generous-minded, and can pretend to be thousands of miles away!"

"Don't shoot the king's ass there!" Saying that, Duoduo still had a smile on his face.

"Then, the minions have organized people to dig trenches in the past few days?"

Duoduo nodded and said, "Old Cao, what you said is very reasonable, but you seem to have overlooked a point. Cao Zhenyan hurriedly asked, Duoduo sold the pass a little and said: "That's money and grain, whether you dig a ditch or hold on, it is in vain if you don't have enough money and food, and this king is now, I'm afraid that there are many people in this capital who are not willing to give us money and food." ”

Cao Zhenyan roared angrily at that time: "How can this be reasonable, which traitors actually dare to stumble on their masters, and my old Cao went to kill them." ”

Duoduo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If you can kill it, the regent will kill it, and it will be the king's turn to worry about it." I'll tell you a few people and you'll know, Sony, Fan Wencheng, and Ning Wan me. Listening to Duoduo say the names of these people word by word, Cao Zhenyan was stunned at first, but in an instant he suddenly realized that Sony was Huang Taiji's old confidant, and when he bought the treetops, he really had two white flags. And Fan Wencheng Ning and the two of us, although they also defected to Dolgon's sect early, but they were firm lords and factions on the issue of the Nanyue Army. Cao Zhenyan said: "These traitors, although they have their own ghosts, are all prepared to be unfavorable to the regent. Master, you say, what should I do, if it's a big deal, I'll pull the artillery team to Beijing and send them to the west one by one. ”

Duoduo smiled and said, "Don't get excited, Cao Jueluo, although they have some dealings with the Southern Barbarians, there is no evidence yet, I just guess they will oppose it." But no matter what, this king wants you to go back to the capital, tell the regent about the battle situation and ideas, and let him decide. ”

Speaking of this, Duoduo paused and said, "Cao Jueluo, now, I can only trust you. The two yellow flags are unreliable, the blue flag is unreliable, the red flag was disabled by Li Huayu, and the Mongolian Eight Banners are even more waste. The only ones who can fight reliably are you and your minions, as well as those newly surrendered Han troops. ”

Cao Zhenyan's eyes were full of tears when he heard this, and he choked up and said: "Master, it's good to say that I will return to Beijing, but what about this front line?" Duoduo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't forget, your master and I are the ones who have carried Li Huamei's sea of fire, and I still have unfulfilled wishes, so I am absolutely reluctant to die?" ”

Cao Zhenyan said: "What is the wish of the master, the slave is willing to share the worries of the master." ”

Duoduo smiled and said: "This Li Huamei is so fierce and spicy, it must be more flavorful in bed, the master is ready to marry Li Huamei if he defeats Li Shouhan in the future, and let him be the master's father-in-law, well, if Li Huaying is also together, it will be better." ”

Cao Zhenyan also smiled and said: "The master is ambitious, and the slave is ashamed, but since the master has the ambition of the bronze bird lock Erqiao, the slave must do his best to achieve it, please rest assured that this day will not be too far away." ”

As the saying goes, there are those who cry and those who laugh, contrary to the sad scene on the side of the Qing army, in the camp of the Nanyue army, there is the fragrance of wine and meat, laughter and laughter. As a common practice, after the victory, it is natural to hold a celebration party, Li Huayu called several heroes of this battle together, and there was a staff office in the shogunate that had the merit of planning, and a group of people in Li Huayu's big tent pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so it was not lively.

Ekui and the others are okay, Tuha was originally a wine basket, and he was happy to win the battle, so he began to have no door on his lips: "I said the eldest prince, if you want me to say, why did you let Li Zicheng become a thief, our Nanyue army is invincible!" He Li Zicheng was beaten by the Liao thieves and fled, but we can't hold on to it! After two days to defeat the group of Liao thieves from Duoduo, let's defeat this guy Azig and defeat Beijing, I think Liang Guogong should be the son of heaven, the eldest prince, you are the prince, everyone says right? ”

Although it is said that since Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, there have been a lot of people in the Nanyue army who have been in tandem in private, and they are all under the idea of letting Li Shouhan be in a yellow robe, but it is unprecedented for Tuha to say so bluntly in the public.

As soon as he said this, he almost made Ekui angry, he got up, pointed at Tuha and scolded: "There are no rules, a few cups of yellow soup are full of nonsense!" Don't hurry up yet! ”

Li Huayu smiled and waved his hand and said: "General Ekui, forget it, General Tuha is straightforward and naïve, and besides, he is drunk and gaffes, so naturally he doesn't have to take it seriously." Just say whatever he says today, if it weren't for General Tuha's decisive and brave attack, our army would not have won so beautifully. ”

Tuha saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, I am a big old man who has never read a book, and I am a fool." Don't be surprised, everyone. Actually, I think I should pay tribute to Staff Officer Fan, you people who have been to the martial arts hall have a lot of ideas, and what tricks such as luring the enemy away from the fortifications are enough for me to learn for a lifetime. ”

The person named by Tuha is called Fan Xiaozeng, although he is just a little-known figure, but since he can be sent to Shandong, he is naturally not a wine bag and rice bag. This man is very young, but he is also a man who has experienced several major wars. At the beginning of the civil strife in Nanzhong, he had just graduated from the military academy, and he performed well in the Nanyang security war, so he was recommended by Shi Lang to Li Huayu and appointed him to Shandong to serve as the chief of staff and give advice to Li Huayu.

Seeing Tuha toasting him, Fan Xiaozeng didn't shirk and had a toast with Tuha. Seeing that Fan Xiaozeng was so bold on the wine table, Li Huayu borrowed the wine and said: "Staff Officer Fan, our army's morale is like a rainbow now, how to break the enemy next, do you have a chance?"

These words made Fan Xiaozeng embarrassed, and he seemed to want to stop talking.

However, he couldn't stand Li Huayu's questioning, so Fan Xiaozeng had to say carefully: "My lord, I can't hide it, the unanimous opinion of our staff office is to temporarily stop the attack, deep ditches and high bases, and winter on the current front." Wait until next year's wheat harvest to be the most appropriate time to attack. ”

"Oh." Although Li Huayu did not express his position directly, this word has already indicated his attitude, obviously, he is not very satisfied with Fan Xiaozeng's opinion. He is like this, and so is Okuituha, they all looked at Fan Xiaozeng with suspicion, obviously, if Fan Xiaozeng couldn't give a reasonable explanation, they were going to have a seizure.

What's more, at present, Li Huayu's subordinates have more than 100,000 troops, plus mules, horses, and hedgehogs gathered in one place, not counting wars every day, and the money and food consumed in daily life alone is also a huge amount.

Fan Xiaozeng naturally did not dare to slack off, and he elaborated on the views of the General Staff Office: "Ladies and gentlemen, our army has come all the way here in order to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost. During the entire course of the operation, the people of our staff office have seen that the combat effectiveness of the Liao thieves should not be underestimated. There are many firearms, the training is good, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, although they were broken six times by our army's bayonet assault, they can rely on the trenches and hold on. In addition, its trenches and fortifications are quite lawful, and it is not easy for our army to attack. If we had to fight to the death with them in the trenches, although our army would not be defeated, the losses would not be low. Therefore, the General Staff Office believes that it is better to fight with them for supplies than to fight with them, because there is a shortage of food in the Liao thief jurisdiction, and there is such a big burden as the capital, no matter how much they struggle, before the summer harvest, the grain stock will inevitably bottom out, and at that time, our army will attack again, and the army without food will be distracted, and it will be easy to win a battle.
