Chapter 50: Advice

Although the amount of work is very huge, the time is also very tight, but after all, the place is not large, tens of thousands of people can not be used at the same time, after carefully observing the surrounding terrain, so Diao Zheng ordered in the camp outside the outermost ditch, send a large number of Ding Zhuang, under the protection of the soldiers of the Xingtian army, the village on the northeast and west sides of the flat land, try their best to dig out some soil pits, as far as possible on those flat land, dig potholes, so that once the official army to attack, these three directions can not use heavy attack tools such as turrets, the official cavalry could not rush close to the camp in these three directions, so Diao Zheng could arrange the main force to the south of the camp as much as possible to block the attack of the official army.

As soon as the order was issued, for the sake of his own life, tens of thousands of people immediately started together, and began to work hard outside the camp according to Diao Zheng's instructions, and these three flat ground were dug into the surface of the moon in an instant, not to mention sending a cart to attack, even if the infantry wanted to advance in these three directions, it was difficult, and these people were still a little lacking in virtue and lazy, digging some pits very small, but very deep, and temporarily covered the pits with the grass they caught, once the horses of the official cavalry stepped on these pits, Even if you break the horse's leg, even if you accidentally step on it, you may not twist your leg.

In short, if the real official army comes to attack, it can only send the main force to attack the camp from one direction due south, so as to reduce the defensive pressure in the other three directions, and try to concentrate some troops in the south to resist the enemy.

Moreover, Diao Zheng sent his subordinates to patrol outside the village to prevent the officers and soldiers from raiding and protecting the people who were working to dig the trenches as soon as possible, while the scouts went out in groups to attack the officers and soldiers scattered around the area, forcing them to move away from the distance and preventing them from hindering the progress of the project.

In short, as long as they can move, they all move, and everyone, including the women, are busy, the women bury the pot to cook, boil the water, and provide the men who are working in the field to drink heat to quench their thirst, and cook and send out the village for the people to eat and work, while the men are in the cold wind, crazy to dig ditches and build walls, almost more than an hour later, deep trenches appeared in the flat fields around the village, and low walls appeared on the flat ground, which was as fast as magic, Even Diao Zheng couldn't help but be amazed by this.

Under the brainstorming, someone proposed to use the water in a small river ditch here and pour it on the pass wall that had just been built, so that under the cold and the earth, the water would be frozen immediately, and the pass wall, which was not very strong, would immediately become an ice wall, which made the defense of the pass wall suddenly improve a lot.

There are many people who are easy to do, more than 1,000 people were immediately sent to the side of the small river ditch, smashed open the thick ice with all hands and feet, everyone lined up in two columns, and began to use buckets to carry water from hand to hand, and transported the water to the pass wall, splashed on the pass wall, these water were blown by the cold wind, and it really began to freeze quickly, and it didn't take long for the earthen pass wall to begin to become shiny, forming a wall of ice, even if it was bombarded with Hongyi cannons, it was estimated that it was not easy to collapse them.

And this time Diao Zheng led his troops south, and among the materials he carried with him, there were also a batch of Tartars who seized the armor from the hands of the official army, and then they were seized by the Xingtian Army, and now they have also unloaded the truck and began to distribute them, and thousands of brave men signed up spontaneously, and were selected by various management teams and began to distribute weapons to them.

And Diao Zheng ordered the soldiers under his command to receive some armor and wear it on their bodies, temporarily enhancing the protection level of the generals, which can almost be said to be one person with two armors, arming them to the teeth.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was also sent to the village, and someone took care of him, but Lu Xiangsheng also learned the news, and couldn't help but get nervous, as a member of the imperial court with troops, he naturally knew the virtues of the officers and soldiers, if so many people fell into the hands of these officers and soldiers, with these arrogant Guan Ning soldiers, they would not be polite to the people, and I don't know how many people will die in the hands of these officers and soldiers, and how many women will be harmed by the officers and soldiers, so Lu Xiangsheng struggled to sit up, wanted to get out of the car to see the situation, but was persuaded by Li Qi, Lu Xiangsheng had to ask Li Qi to ask Diao Zheng to come over again.

Diao Zheng was very busy, and after learning the news, he had the heart not to deal with Lu Xiangsheng, but thinking that this Mr. Lu was like a god, maybe he would give him some useful advice, so he was patient and boarded the car in the village to see Lu Xiangsheng.

"Who is in command of the officers and soldiers who came? How many soldiers and horses are there? Lu Xiangsheng didn't talk nonsense and asked.

Diao Zheng didn't hide it, and immediately replied: "The person who is known to be coming should be the Guanning army led by Gao Qiqian, with a strength of about 20,000 people, but now they haven't arrived here yet, and they are rushing towards this side, and they are only less than ten miles away!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "I have learned about the things outside, you are right to arrange this, it is indeed a good strategy to gain a foothold in this place first, and it is indeed a good strategy to protect these people, but you must remember that you must not defend it with this, with the strength of the Guanning army, more than 2,000 of you can't hold it for long, and there are Hongyi cannons in the Guanning army, once it is bombarded, it will not be able to stop it with such a simple wall!"

So according to what I see, sitting and guarding at the moment is waiting for death, it is better to go to the field and fight with them, I have seen the way your Xingtian army plays, your firearms are very sharp, even the Guanning army is much inferior to you, and your military discipline is strict, the soldiers are not chaotic, but a strong soldier in a strong army, this is also your only advantage, you can only lead the soldiers to the high dive head-on attack, to fight a little harder, to hurt them, disrupt them, in order to solve this danger! Otherwise, it will be unimaginable! ”

After listening to this, Diao Zheng admired this Mr. Lu's opinion, so he immediately nodded and said: "I am also thinking about it in the next place, I will leave a small number of troops to lead the people who have temporarily organized here to defend here, while I will lead the main force out and strive to defeat them in a battle!" I wonder if there is any other suggestion from the sir? ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and again: "General Diao is really powerful, and this ...... Lu thought of one! You have to remember one thing, Gao Qiqian is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, although he is known as a soldier, but he is just a vain name! Since you want to fight, you go directly to fight his Chinese army, if you fight well, Gao Qiqian will be scared, as soon as the Chinese army retreats, other officers and soldiers naturally have no intention of fighting with you, which is also the best way for you to break the enemy! Now that General Diao has already arranged it, then Lu will wish the general a victory! Without further ado, the general should go quickly! It's a pity that I, Lu, can't act right now, otherwise I'll go with you! ”

Diao Zheng nodded again and again after hearing this, with this Mr. Lu's reminder, he was a little more sure, and he saw that this Lu Xiangsheng had a kind of superior's bearing, and from the medical officer who accompanied the army, he heard that the injuries on this Mr. Lu's body were all swords, guns and arrow wounds, and seeing that this Mr. Lu is also a person who knows soldiers, he must be an official who was rescued from the battlefield by the marshal, and he can now put himself in the shoes of the Xingtianjun and give him advice, Diao Zheng is also very grateful.

So Diao Zheng didn't talk nonsense, nodded and saluted: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, please rest assured that even if Diao Zheng fights for his life, he will maintain the safety of you and these people!" Farewell! ”

After saying that, Diao Zheng threw off the car under Lu Xiangsheng's return salute, and after a while, Lu Xiangsheng heard the sound of Diao Zheng striding away.

Looking at the back of Diao Zheng leaving, Lu Xiangsheng nodded slightly, he couldn't think of how Xiao Tianjian led the troops, he could bring all the generals into such brave men, from the subordinates of the Xingtian Army he had come into contact with these days, he could see an indescribable vitality in these people, everyone looked at their lives very lightly, from their words, they could hear their kind of worship and loyalty to Xiao Tianjian, they seemed to know what they were going to do, and in order to achieve their goals, they could even give their lives for it, If it were other armies that encountered ten times the enemy today, Lu Xiangsheng might not have any hope for them, and he might even be desperate, but in the case of these soldiers of the Heavenly Army, he secretly had an expectation and trust, feeling that these subordinates of the Heavenly Army might break through the interception of the high dive.

With the change of mood, Lu Xiangsheng's perspective on the problem began to change dramatically, he no longer worried about the imperial court, but began to think about the problem from the interests of the Xingtian Army.

"Li Qi, go and ask those soldiers of the Xingtian Army who protect me not to stay here anymore, you are enough here! Let them all do what they have to do, and don't stay here just for the sake of the old man! Lu Xiangsheng then instructed Li Qi.

Li Qi nodded and said, "Obey!" The little ones are going! ”

The one responsible for protecting Lu Xiangsheng was a team general, who was actually in a hurry to die at this time, and after listening to Li Qi's words, the team patted Li Qi hard and said, "Then there are brothers here!" Please take good care of your husband! Let's go, brethren! Go deal with the officers and soldiers! Grandma's, don't let them see how powerful we are, they really don't know how many eyes this horse prince has! Doctor Song, I'll entrust you here! Let's go! ”

And the twenty Xingtian Army soldiers who followed this team general were already jumping up and down one by one, and with the order of the team general, they cheered and immediately rushed out of the village, and Li Qi also took off the bow, knife, and spear he was carrying from the car, put on his armor, and stood majestically next to the cart.
