Night falls. Tents are erected on the high slopes of the loess. The lanterns are like stars lit up by the stars. There is no end in sight. In the barracks of the Qing army. In every tent, the officers were boosting the morale of the soldiers. Warriors who are well fed and drunk. Sharpen your guns and wait for the dawn to come.

Yang Dawazi's department is already on the front line. Rest for seven days in the original town of the township. Yang Dawazi volunteered to go to the front line. If you want to get fame and fortune, you have to fight with your life. He never thought about guarding a beacon in the future. All of them are outlaws. As long as he gives the order. will sacrifice life and death to climb the city.

Although it's time to turn off the lights. But none of the soldiers in his barracks could sleep. You can see the sparks burning from cigarette butts. In the military tent that swallows the clouds and spits mist. People who are overly excited are talking about it.

Yang Dawa fried to create anti-time. The elders will unite several rudder masters. At most, there are tens of thousands of soldiers. stirred up Zuo Zongtang to a mess. The scenery of the past is vivid. A puff of smoke in the mouth. sighed: "Lao Tzu did not live in vain. That's enough. Cao Kezhong, this kid likes to rob the most. There are a lot of money-making 'women' in Lijiabao. As long as there is life. Let the high guard be a witness for you tomorrow night."

"It's such a hassle." There is a brother in the darkness who seems to be reluctant. He's still young. Didn't want to get married so early.

"Smack." Someone next to him slapped the speaker. Mu San shouted angrily: "'Bastard'. We are Qing officers and soldiers. How can it be irresponsible. The high garrison said. Or don't eat it. Put it in my pocket when I eat it. I have to raise it for a lifetime. Don't pick and choose. The monkey soldiers of Toast. As long as the mother is on it."

There was a burst of laughter in the tent. They're bandits. Now it's changed to a 'door' court. Became an officer and soldier of the Qing Dynasty. That's the good thing about the 'troubled' world. Sit on both sides of the hedge. Nirvana reborn. They are very relaxed. It's also very relaxing. followed the right big brother and lived a good life. When you are full of food and drink, you want to get into the wrong.

Yang Dawazi said loudly: "The high guard took us in. This is our lord. The best way to repay the Lord. It is to grow a face for the master. The monkey soldiers of the toast. You still want to compete with us. I'm phew. Just practice the fake handle style that doesn't hit. How can you compare with us. Tomorrow we will go up to the top of the city. Be sure to 'plant' the military flag before the east 'gate' of the city. Let Vice Marshal Xu see that we are not just cavalry. The battle of the city is no less fearful of death. Vice Marshal Xu will give us the establishment of two battalions. Next, Dong Zhiyuan's 'fat' and 'meat' will be our turn. Wherever we go, we have a say."

"Fuck it." A bunch of big guys. Stand up angrily. Extinguish cigarette butts. I am confident that I will climb the city tomorrow. The lesson from the past is that Guo Baochang's Anhui army boarded Xiaokongtong in one go. Not to mention the fact that they are supported by a powerful artillery battalion behind them .

In the dark night, Yang Dawazi's eyes flashed with 'fine' light. Twinkle and glitter and shine brightly.' The prodigal son is home all over the world.' After losing his 'nature' and 'wandering', he realized that it was best to embrace his mother. No worries about the day. Let him slow down. Tomorrow is the time when the Qing Dynasty will test him. Wash away the shame with blood.' Planting the 'flag of glory. Prove to the world that the 'prodigal' son will not change his money.

Ascending battles are technical work. It's like a chaotic charge. In fact, there are traces to follow. The counselors in the Chinese military tent are meticulously doing war deductions. As the main general, Xu Zhanbiao never sleeps. A pair of bloodshot eyes. Staring at the model of Lijiabao.

The Qing army has been trained for more than ten years. A fixed mode of combat has long been formed. Assault a strong fortress. They all used a large amount of explosives to blow up the city gate. On the surface, the Qing army built a fort outside the city of Lijiabao. In fact, another engineering unit had already dug the tunnel under the 'gate' of Lijiabao.

The name of the Sichuan rat is not given for nothing. For excavation tunnels under high slopes of loess. It's so simple. In the middle of the night. Get under the 'gate' of the east and west cities. The news that the explosives 'charges' have all been put in place. There was jubilation in the tent. Xu Zhanbiao's worried heart finally fell. The war is not as orderly as it is written in the war report. A lot of things are military secrets. It won't be mentioned in the battle report. Just like the war requires. The Qing army could boast artillery to the sky . It is also possible to bury the merit of the sappers . On the surface, I saw how brave the warriors were when they charged into battle. No fear of death. Secretly, there are many branches of the army working together.

Fighting a war is an economic account. As the main general, it is necessary to calculate the most reasonable income and expenditure situation. Not a last resort. The Lord will not be willing to fight for consumption. So you can destroy more enemies. And you can save your own strength. Why not.

The stone in Xu Zhanbiao's heart fell. Officers looking around. Haha smiled and said, "It's all bullshit to return to the army. He also proclaimed himself a marshal and a general. Build a fortress on a high slope of loess. Ben Shuai dug it down and dug it down. Tomorrow we will take Lijiabao in a battle. Don't give the enemy a chance to kill 'women' and children."

"Ordered." The Tusi Peng Dingyue of the Tu Bing and the Tusi Mo Baoguo of the Tu Bing were proud. It was as if Lijiabao was already in their hands.

"I'm going to have lunch at Lijiabao at noon." Xu Zhanbiao is in high spirits. Flick your sleeves and turn around to sleep. He had nothing to worry about. Just a big earthquake at dawn. The walls of Lijiabao no longer exist. No one can stop the charge of the Qing warriors.

In fact, Xu Zhanbiao couldn't fall asleep on the 'hairy' blanket. But as a party manager. It means to be fearless. It also makes his subordinates feel awe. The defenders of Lijiabao are no longer to be worried. He's already set his mind on the next battle. The trapped beasts still want to use fortresses to restrain the footsteps of the Qing army. Wish for the moon.

Oil lamp flashing. Xu Zhanbiao took out his pocket watch. Inside the cover is a picture of his wife. Missing family. Hopefully this pointless civil war will end soon.

Li Guolou stayed up all night. He asked Liu Yu, the officer in charge of the sappers in Xinwutang, and others to check the tunnels. Learn to fight on the battlefield. Tunnel warfare is the best weapon for solving siege warfare. Tenkyo, the capital of the Tenpei Heavenly Kingdom. It was the city wall that was blown down by tens of thousands of catties of explosives.

I usually love the clean Li Guolou. Like a dog. Climb into the filthy tunnels. This feeling is weird. Climb in long tunnels. There is a distance of more than 1,000 meters, and they are all used hand and foot. Climb forward little by little. Finally came to the huge 'hole' in the ground. There are piles of explosives all around, boxes and boxes of explosives, and there is no need to open the boxes.

"Oh." With dim lights. Li Guolou can see the layout of the 'hole' clearly. It turns out that the explosives were stacked like this. Immersive. Only then do I know the insignificance of people.

"Let's go." Liu Yu sees the layout clearly. Don't dare to delay more. Nodding to the sapper who was guarding next to him. Show your respects.

I spent more than five minutes in a huge 'hole' in the ground. And the oil lamps went out. The air is thin in the 'holes' in the ground. Can't light the fuel lamp for a long time. Li Guolou and his five men. He turned and climbed back.

Liu Yu climbed behind Li Guolou's ass. There is only admiration for Li Guolou. No officer has ever drilled a dog's hole. No one in the court would know that Li Guolou had climbed through the 'hole' in the ground, and he was next to tens of thousands of catties of explosives. Seemingly just five minutes. Need to endure the atmosphere of death. Learn to fight on the battlefield. How much courage and perseverance is required. Like Weng Tonggong, hang a headmaster title in Xinwutang. Those who don't know soldiers become the Minister of War. Li Guolou is qualified to become a new generation of military leaders. After the danger is in place. Li Guolou's ability has been affirmed by everyone.

War is a strange thing to everyone. But Li Guolou turned the new martial arts hall on paper into a real battlefield drill. After this trip to the Great Northwest. Liu Yu is the same as the school officials and students of Xinwutang. Learn to fight in war. I feel like I've grown. They have become a qualified veteran.

"Thrilling." Li Guolou climbed out of the 'hole' in the first sentence. won the favor of everyone. He didn't beat the dust off his body. It's the habit of 'sex' to take out a pocket watch. Take a look at the time. The long dark night is coming to an end. Dong Zhiyuan's new day is dawning.

The bamboo basket is full of white film. There is also a steaming 'meat' soup in a huge iron pot. Cook brings a delicious breakfast. Brought to the forefront. Fighters hiding in trenches gnaw on white membrane. Drinking hot soup. With a spear in his arms. Wait for the moment when the bugle sounds. In accordance with military regulations. The fighters did not say a word. Wait in silence for the moment of eruption.

In the long fortifications. There are also five huge ladders. Climb the tall city walls. Not only bamboo ladders are needed. A ladder is also needed. This is a necessary weapon for siege warfare.

The military work of the Song Dynasty official Xiu "Wujing General Essentials and Siege Law" recorded: "The cloud ladder takes the big wood as the 'bed'. Ascend the second ladder. Each long zhang remains. Zhongshi shaft. Raw cowhide is shielded on all sides. Advancing with people inside. and the city takes off the ladder on the ladder."

The ladder adopts a folding structure with a rotating shaft connection in the middle. And added protection at the bottom of the ladder. Furthermore. The ladder (auxiliary ladder) also appears in a variety of forms: there are "flying ladders", which are two or three zhang long. First run of two wheels.' Want' ant annex to the city in wheels to advance; there is a "bamboo flying ladder". On both sides, the feet are astringent; There are "tiptoe ladders" for two floors. The upper layer is made of bamboo. The shaft is used to lift the ladder. The rod runs through two wheels. Take its annex city and make it easy to rise. These improvements. On the one hand, the height of the main ladder before engaging the enemy is further reduced. Increase the stability of the ladder cart's movement and reduce the possibility of damage by the defenders; On the other hand. It is also equipped with a ladder that can adapt to a variety of complex conditions. It makes it easy and fast to get into the city.

Siege warfare is very cumbersome. There are many contingencies to consider. This explosive 'drug' has been buried though. But in case the walls hadn't been blown up. The warriors still have to climb the head of the city. In addition, copper cannons, howitzers, and mortars need to be dragged to the city. The bamboo ladder can't bear the weight of a cannon. Drag the cannon up the ladder first. Then hang it up to the head of the city with a wheel. The distance is shortened. Just secure the fortifications on the city; After condescending. The street fighting that followed was invincible.

Xu Zhanbiao led a group of generals to the mouth of the 'cave' in the east. The north wind is blowing. On the continuous loess slopes, the snow-capped lion flags of the Qing Dynasty are inserted. A clear dawn brings hope. If it is said that the military does not believe in ghosts and gods. That's wrong. A tribute platform of Guan Gong was placed in front of the generals. Xu Zhanbiao led the generals to kneel three times and knock nine times. There are words in the mind. Meticulous incense prayer. Guan Gong is not only the embodiment of loyalty and bravery. In the Qing Dynasty. Guan Gong is already a symbol of the god of war. And it is an invincible god of war.

Xu Zhanbiao took a bamboo tube with Emperor Guan's spiritual sign. There are a hundred bamboo skewers inside. Holding a bamboo tube in both hands. Non-stop shaking. There are words in his mouth: "Emperor Guan bless the Qing Dynasty. This battle will be won."

"Smack". A bamboo skewer falls on the yellow earth. Xu Zhanbiao leaned over and picked up the bamboo stick. Squinting eyelids slightly. Lang said: "Qiyi signed, Zhongping, Xinjia, Wu returned to his hometown. Su Wu returned to the Han Sign. Text: Good news in front of the magpie eaves. Knowing that the gentleman is thousands of miles "desire" to return to the heart; The leaves are falling and the twilight is cold."

The crowd is still 'scratching' their heads. Some are still lamenting. How is it a draw. It should be signed on the big luck.

Li Guolou was overjoyed. He raised his voice and said, "Good sign, good sign. This is what Emperor Guan told us. Dong Zhiyuan is going to return to the embrace of the motherland. Su Wu went through a lot of hardships to return to Dahan. We also have to endure a long period of hardship to achieve positive results. From now on, you will all be loyal servants of Xianliang Temple."

"Hahahaha. It is worthy of exploring the 'flower' Lang. The level of unsigning is comparable to that of Su Dongpo. That's the reason." Xu Zhanbiao agrees with Li Guolou's statement. happily put the bamboo skewer back into the bamboo tube. I agree with Li Guolou's statement in my heart. What's on the sign. The enemy is not a dead man. There are always hundreds of dead and wounded. There were at least three or four thousand defenders in Lijiabao. As long as this fight. The Qing army suffered no more than a thousand casualties. Even if it's a big win.

All the generals were impressed. The mouth of the civil official is Lisuo. A Zhongping signed in to Li Guolou's mouth, and it immediately became a good thing. Anyway, it's just asking for a peace of mind. This time it's worth incense to Emperor Guan.

The Qing army was not very demanding. All the best. A victorious start. Horse to success. The first ring must be perfect. Xu Zhanbiao used a burning incense. Personally light the fuse. The fuze hissing and sparking quickly jumped into the 'hole' in the ground, looking forward to the moment when the city shook and the mountains shook. Everyone's eyes 'shoot' to Lijiabao.

Carrying the hope of the revival of the Qing Dynasty. I hope for the early reunification of the motherland. Will Emperor Guan help the Qing Dynasty as always? Li Guolou only felt the soles of his feet. The earth shakes and the mountains shake. God is angry. Emperor Guan is powerful. Guan Gong, the god of war, will always assist the Qing Dynasty.
