"If you like to dig, dig it, slow down their excavation progress!" Li Guo put down the binoculars and said lightly.

As a result, on the side of Yaozhouyi, the contest between Jianyu and the Ming army turned into a struggle between digging trenches and anti-trenches.

Under the on-site command of Ning Wan, the Jianyu risked the shelling and began to dig trenches at a distance of what they could afford to lose.

Indeed, as I said, this area is suitable for excavation work, and it is all dirt. The soil dug up by Jianyu was not transported later, but was piled up at the mouth of the tunnel, slowly forming a large mound of earth, which became an effective barrier to block the shells.

That's it, not counting, the soil that was dug up next began to go forward again, becoming a lump of east and west, and continued to be used to cover their trenches, and also to facilitate the transportation of troops forward.

The trench excavation under my command was not perpendicular to the Ming army's defensive line, but bent forward like a snake, so as to avoid the penetration of iron bullets and the capture of the entire trench.

On the side of the Ming army, no matter how high the level of artillery is, the delay in the trench excavation process for the construction of the captives is limited after all.

The cavalry fought again, and the first time it was successful, burying all the prisoners who were digging hard in the ditch. However, after that, Jianyu was on guard, and there were cavalry troops covering them, and as long as the Ming cavalry dared to rush over, they would also pounce. Fighting in close quarters and using troops to consume is what Jianyu is most willing to do.

After digging closer, the archers on the Ming side began to take out their positions and shoot covering arrows into the trenches within a safe range. At the beginning, he shot and killed a group of trenchers. But in the rear, wooden planks were quickly brought in and erected on top of the trench, effectively defending against the killing of bows and arrows.

But no matter what, under the interference of the Ming army, the trench of Jianyu had to be dug as high as one person, and it should be spacious enough to facilitate several Jianju to rush up at the same time.

As time passed, the trench stretched forward, and it became closer and closer to the Ming position. When Duoduo saw this scene, the smile on his face increased a little. In a report to Shengjing one day, he has already expressed that the battle of Yaozhouyi and the Qing Dynasty must be a big victory. The elimination of nearly 10,000 Ming troops in World War I will be a rare victory for the Qing Dynasty this year! However, this is nothing to him Duoduo, his purpose is to take back Gaizhou and kill all the Ming troops who came to invade the Qing Dynasty!

As for Duoduo's offensive strategy, Dorgon and the others felt that it was no problem; However, Emperor Chongzhen never showed up with his Imperial Forest Army, especially the hussar battalion, which has always worried Dolgon and others, and every day's reply is to tell Duoduo to be careful and pay attention to the intrigues of the Ming Emperor.

Yaozhouyi's side, for the time being, is waiting for the trench to be dug to the end, and then usher in the final decisive battle. Until then, the two sides were at peace.

At this pass, although Jianyu's Tanma had monitored the coastline near Gaizhou, they could not monitor that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, whose regent was most worried, had actually landed on the other side of Lianyun Island Pass with the remaining three battalions such as the hussar battalion, and was resting to let the war horse recover its strength.

Emperor Chongzhen played chess with Lu Xiangsheng every day, drank tea, talked about the experience of leading troops to fight, and talked about the key points of people's livelihood governance. If you don't know, you think that Emperor Chongzhen is not here to fight, but to go on vacation!

Now the cavalry army on the shore, on the side of the Ming army, there are only 3,000 cavalry in the hands of Li Dingguo, which is still the total number counted from the original night in the hands of the Ming army in Gaizhou. And the Jianyu cavalry, just between Yaozhou Station and Gaizhou, there are tens of thousands of cavalry troops, and the entire Gaizhou area is full of Jianyu exploration horses, so Lu Xiangsheng does not know the situation of Yaozhou Station, and he is actually very worried in his heart. Because he didn't know what the battle situation was on Yaozhouyi's side, if the battle was fierce, then there would be a lot of food and grass consumption, and he had to give him support.

However, he didn't know, Emperor Chongzhen knew! Although Duoduo has not yet eavesdropped on the seed to learn the news, however, Duoduo reports the battle situation to Shengjing's side every day. Emperor Chongzhen was able to learn about the relevant battle situation through the news fed back by the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Dolgon's body. As long as you calculate according to the time, you can probably know how the battle situation of Yaozhou Station is!

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know this, and when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry at all, and was still drinking tea and chatting with him, he naturally admired it in his heart. With this calm kung fu alone, Lu Xiangsheng is ashamed of himself!

If Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care about the life or death of the Yaozhou Yiming Army, it is absolutely impossible. The only explanation is that Emperor Chongzhen is sure that the Ming army in Yaozhouyi is fine!

Thinking of these, Lu Xiangsheng also regarded it as an opportunity to cultivate his mind and use this matter to hone his mind. Of course, he is a person who is both civil and military, and of course it is impossible to wait blindly.

He also asked Emperor Chongzhen to know what the emperor used to judge the battle of Yaozhouyi, and felt that there was no problem, so he didn't panic.

Regarding this question, Emperor Chongzhen did not pretend to be unfathomable, nor did he say that everything was in the hands of the mountain people. Instead, according to the reaction of Jianyu Tanma, as well as the composition of the soldiers of Li Guo's department, the grain and grass materials he carried, as well as the situation faced by Duoduo's department, and even the possible mentality of Duoduo, he told Lu Xiangsheng again.

Here, there is a bit of a flattering place.

If Emperor Chongzhen didn't have eavesdropping seeds in his hands, he would definitely not be so confident in analyzing these, and he might have missed some factors. However, in fact, he knew the battle situation on Yaozhouyi's side, and even knew Duoduo's thoughts, so to speculate backwards on this basis would be extremely confident and comprehensive.

This is like hindsight, as long as you are not a person with a poor IQ, you can speak the truth, and everything is under control.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen told the story, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be impressed, he felt that Emperor Chongzhen had opened his eyes again. It seems that although he boasts of being both civil and military, if he compares with the emperor, he still has to learn more! Especially in the areas of strategy, insight and self-confidence.

On this day, Lu Xiangsheng went to see Emperor Chongzhen as usual, thinking that he would continue to play chess and chat, but who knows, Emperor Chongzhen did not let people play chess, but was wearing armor. When he saw him passing, he smiled and commanded him, "It's almost time, it's my turn to appear!" ”

In fact, according to Emperor Chongzhen's estimate, Yaozhouyi can still hold on, and it can wait a little longer. In this way, we can continue to spend a little more money, food, and troops. However, the autumn harvest is just around the corner, and we can't afford to wait any longer. The ultimate purpose of launching this war, Emperor Chongzhen has not forgotten.

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly received the order.

During this period of time, whether it was the Ming army in Gaizhou or the Ming army hiding in Lianyundao Pass, they were all stationary. And on land, it has always been the Jianyu who is arrogant, running around, and they are everywhere.

Now, it's time to pack them up!

An hour later, in the north of Lianyun Island Pass, countless Ming ships suddenly sailed out, and on the vast and boundless sea, they were paved with a red layer, undulating with the waves.

On the shore, countless seabirds were suddenly startled, and there were many Jianyu horses. I saw that they were all panicked, and in each team of scouting horses, there would be several horses, galloping away, and they all felt more frightened than being chased by tigers behind.

Without the escort of any battleships, the transport ships of the hussar battalion rushed directly to the beach. Just after rushing onto the beach, the baffle on the bow side of the boat turned out to be movable, and it was lowered at once, forming a slope to get off the boat. The hussar battalion soldiers on the ship immediately drove their horses down from the boat.

If it was just a boat, there might not be many hussar battalion soldiers who had just disembarked. However, on this piece of sand, there are all transport ships rushing ashore, and the first wave of hussar battalion soldiers who disembarked reached as many as 100 horsemen.

They did not stop on the beach, but when they gathered, they immediately killed the Jianyu Tanma, who was watching the landing of the army in the distance.

One team, another team...... Soon, Emperor Chongzhen was on the bow of the flagship and saw that there was no trace of Jianyu Tanma on the shore. Everywhere the eye could see, there were traces of the soldiers of the hussar battalion. With more than 10,000 hussar battalion soldiers, the strength of this cavalry army is enough to control the entire battlefield!

In less than an hour, Emperor Chongzhen had already arrived on the shore and watched the teams of Ming soldiers drive to Gaizhou City. And Gaizhou's guards He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao had also rushed over, and with irrepressible excitement, they ran to Emperor Chongzhen's side to greet him.

Looking forward to the stars, waiting for the moon, and finally waiting for the moment of the counterattack, it's time to push it over! At the same time as running over to see the emperor, they asked for war and asked to attack, but the other generals didn't have time to say, so the two of them gave a bunch of examples, saying that they were familiar with Liaodong and so on, and strongly asked to fight, and they didn't want to defend Gaizhou.

The final result was that Lu Xiangsheng led the remaining forces of the Dongjiang Army to defend Gaizhou, and the men and horses brought by the three major battalions under the other imperial horse supervisors and the Beijing camp totaled about 15,000 cavalry and more than 35,000 infantry troops, totaling more than 50,000 troops, and slaughtered Yaozhou Post in a mighty manner.

It is a total of sixty miles from Gaizhou to Yaozhouyi, and for the cavalry, such a little road really doesn't take much time, not to mention, Jianyu Tanma used the ability to eat milk, and galloped wildly at all costs.

On the Yaozhou Post side, Jianyu had just started construction, because the trench was almost finished, and Duoduo personally came out to inspect the progress of the project. Of course, that's not really his main purpose.

The reason why he didn't wait for the completion of the construction before coming out was that he wanted to see the Ming army in Yaozhouyi, and when the trench was dug step by step, he looked desperate and helpless. Even their constant intensification of harassment of the trenches was watched with relish by Dodor. Because in his opinion, this is the fear of the Ming army under despair, just dying and struggling!

"Lord Wang, in just these two days, it is estimated that it will be dug up." Ning Wan said respectfully in front of Duoduo, "At the exit of the trench, it still needs to be widened, as long as my Qing warriors rush out enough at one time, the Ming army will not have time to defend at all." If it weren't for the urgency of time, Xia Guan would have even thought about transporting some horses over......"

Listening to him look to the future, Duoduo's temper became good, and he smiled as the Ming army hurled stones with catapults, trying to break the planks laid on top of the trench.

"The prince is really wise and powerful, and only the prince can kill the Ming army. This battle is a rare victory for me in the past few years, and it is really a day worth remembering! ”

Hearing Ning Wan's emotion, Duoduo was proud in his heart, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, so he turned his head to look at Ning Wan, and pointed at him with a finger holding a horse whip and said, "Aren't you Han officials good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Come on, come on, draw the scene in front of you for the king, and the king will send it to Shengjing! ”

When I heard this, I patted my forehead, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Ah, yes, if it weren't for the prince's reminder, the lower officials would have forgotten about it." The prince waited, and the lower official immediately asked people to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

Speaking of this, he ordered his entourage, and then turned back to accompany Duoduo, and continued to grovel and say: "Xiaguan has thought about it, Xiaguan will draw the prince into it, and in the posture of the prince, he will point out the country and have the spirit of strategizing." In front of the prince, my Qing warriors were brave and good at fighting, and they were jumping out of the trench and slashing at the Ming army who were trying to stop it. And the face of the Ming army was full of panic and despair......"

After listening to Ning finished my description, this picture of him appeared in Duoduo's mind, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied, and immediately said lightly: "Yes, it's okay." Let's have two such paintings. Send a pair to Shengjing, and the king himself will keep a pair as a commemoration! ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but imagine that Sheng Jing's side, especially Yue Tuo and Haoge would be jealous to death after seeing it, and he was happy to think about it, so he laughed out loud.

It didn't take long for Ning Wan and my entourage to send a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I immediately put on a very professional posture, and after holding the pen in my hand, I said with a smile: "Lord Wang, Xia Guan is about to start painting!" ”

He didn't dare to ask Dordor to pose for him to draw, because he didn't know if Dordor would not cooperate, but he was sure of one thing. In this battle, because of his advice, the capture of Yaozhouyi was only in these two days, and nearly 10,000 Ming troops were eliminated, which was a rare victory in the Qing Dynasty. If he presents such a painting again, in the future, he doesn't know what Duoduo will do to other Han officials, but he will definitely not shout and kill him like before. Maybe you'll call him "sir"!

He was thinking about it when he heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing through. This voice is a bit harsh at this time.

So, whether it was him or Duoduo, they couldn't help but look up and smell the past.
