In an unknown small village in front of Gaoyou, the people of the Ming Dynasty had long been evacuated, the crops and rice around were also looted, and the rivers and drinking wells were actually thrown a large number of crotons.

Then the Azig front army that withdrew from Henan was taught a hard lesson, and by the time Dolgon and them arrived, tens of thousands of horses and personnel were sluggish, which greatly affected the morale of the Qing army.

"Brother Twelve, how could you and Haoge be so careless, didn't Ben Shuai have long ordered the army to be careful about food and drink everywhere they go? You ...... such common sense," Dolgon rubbed his forehead a little helplessly.

"Fourteenth brother, this kind of trick must have been done by Shen Xingxiao'er, I suffered a big loss from him before, you don't know how cunning and treacherous he is, you really can't blame us for this matter, we also let the livestock try the water first, but who knows that the Han people are not deadly poison, but croton, it will only appear in four or five hours, and it is common for livestock to be thin! Eh...... If you want to punish it, you will punish it, your twelfth brother will lead the army! ”

The people sitting in the big tent are the backbone of the Aixin Jueluo family, and they also know that the relationship between Dolgon and Azig is the same mother, and the relationship is far from being comparable to them, although everyone has the element of watching the excitement, but after all, it is very irrational to punish the commander of the first army when the war is imminent.

So for the sake of the overall situation, many people pleaded for mercy, and the fifteenth prince, who is also a mother, naturally took the lead in speaking out. "Fourteenth brother, the Han people will also play some conspiracy, this matter really can't be blamed on the twelfth brother, and he also remedied it in time and didn't have much impact, you punished him now, there must be rumors in the army, the war is imminent, please also ask the fourteenth brother to focus on the overall situation, let the twelfth brother make meritorious contributions, right?"

"Okay, you don't have to say more, it's not this thing that is annoying Ben Shuai, is it just a few tricks to stop our million-strong army? Can't you see Shen Xing's intentions clearly, although he has not been here in person, there are signs everywhere that the defenders of Yangzhou are following his usual fighting style, that is, they will do everything to stop the pace of our army! This strong wall is clear, and the poisoned water source should be the first side dish! ”

Dorgon said angrily and slammed his fist on the desk. Hauge walked out of the table at this time and knelt on one knee, hugged his chest with his left hand and said, "Dashuai, aren't they just some horse traps and barbed wire?" I am willing to ask for my life to be a striker, and I will guarantee to step on the Gaoyou defense line within two days! ”

"Big brother, why do you and my brother need to be polite, get up and speak, you are so confident, but what kind of countermeasure have you come up with?" Dolgon's tone calmed slightly. Hauge stood up and looked around at the crowd, a contemptuous smile on his face. "It's an old trick on the battlefield, he Shen Xing really can't do it when we are stupid, doesn't he just want to intimidate us and delay time? What they fear most is nothing more than artillery and hand bullets! But how many defenders can be put down by the little Gaoyou, I personally observed the day before yesterday, and 30,000 people is already the limit. ”

Hearing Hauge say this, many people nodded in agreement, so Hauge continued. "The Ming army's artillery cover is huge, but now it is not what it used to be, now the Qing Dynasty also has red-coated cannons, although the shooting distance is somewhat insufficient, but to deal with 30,000 people nested in the trench is not to be captured, it is difficult to see far at night, we sent thousands of deadpools, first fill in the trap of horses, and wait for dawn to use red-coated cannon fire to suppress the enemy's artillery attack, several times, the enemy has no place to hide, there will be heavy casualties, and the heavy cavalry will open the way to break through the barbed wire, so that the door of the Gaoyou defense line is wide open, is it not to let our light cavalry cut and kill!"

More than a dozen elder brothers were all happy, if they did what Hauge said, casualties were inevitable, but compared to taking the forward position of Gaoyou in one fell swoop, such a price was simply negligible, and Dolgon also agreed very much after listening to Hauge's entire combat strategy, but he was still undecided, and it was difficult to make a decision. What bothered him the most was that the 300,000 people of the Four Kings Han Army Banner, who would have come as planned, had not come for a long time at this time.

If there are more than 300,000 cannon fodder, why should he be so sad and laborious at the moment, but now the little Gaoyou wants to let his Manchu Eight Banners hurt his muscles and bones, it is really impossible to make his own Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, but if one of his children dies, there will be one less, and the slightest carelessness will affect the stability of the overall situation. At present, there are more than 100,000 Han troops on the road, but he does not dare to risk letting these people charge.

Because these people are not led by an appealing commander like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, the reason why they surrendered themselves is also to survive, if they are sent to die at this moment, Dolgon can know with his toes that these guys will defect before the war has even begun. Rather than let this happen, it would be more effective to make good use of these people to cut down trees and pave roads to transport materials.

"Dashuai, time is running out, if you are undecided like this, the fighter may be lost at any time! If you're afraid that I, Hauge has other intentions, send someone to watch over you! Hauge thought that Dorgon was deliberately obstructing his position, and he was a little out of control at the moment.

"Big brother, what do you say? Now this battle is the future of the Qing Dynasty's national fortunes, how can the marshal have such thoughts, you are too worried! Yue Tuo saw that Haoge was emotional, and stepped forward to grab him gratefully.

Dorgon awoke from his musings and laughed at Hauge's angry expression. "Big brother, do you think I, Dorgon, am such an ignorant person? Although your plan is a little insufficient, it is also very practical, Ben Shuai gives you 100,000 soldiers and horses, can you win Gaoyou in two days? ”

"This king doesn't need so much, 50,000 is enough! If you can't get Gaoyou within two days, you don't need to punish this king, and you will see you by yourself! "There is no joke in the army, Haoge is so big, all the princes in the tent silently sweat for him in their hearts, and Dolgon just smiled, did not refuse, and did not say anything to stop it, invisibly has already expressed his attitude, Gaoyou can't take it down, Haoge is asking for his own death.

That night, in the sturdy cement bunker, Shi Kefa and some generals discussed the war all night with tea instead of wine. "Xiao Gao, hanging a water curtain in the dark hole in this trench can really hide from the artillery attack! If not, the lives of 20,000 soldiers will be in danger! ”

"General, don't worry, the military academy has done hundreds of live-fire exercises, and even the most powerful mountain artillery can hardly cause heavy casualties! What's more, he is only a red-coated cannon, to be honest, if we are not to hold back the main force of the Qing army, but to repel him, the 100,000 new army will not be afraid to deal with his millions of people, and the power of our new rifle is unimaginable to ordinary people! There is also Mr. Bi's newly researched machine gun, but unfortunately there are only five in our army! Otherwise......"

Shi Kefa's expression was relaxed and abnormal while drinking tea, and he laughed helplessly when he listened to Gao Linguo's words, where is this big war, hard fighting, vicious fighting, it is clearly an annihilation plan to invite the army into the urn, there are good weapons that can't be used to throw off their arms, for fear of scaring people away, and it is too obvious to lose and not lose, he has been in the army for more than ten years until today.

Just the canned military meat and vegetables on this table, he couldn't dream of it, and the logistics materials can still be done like this, Yangzhou City made four or five fortresses to store all kinds of canned food like a hill ten days ago, and he was worried about the grain road before, but now it seems that he is simply ignorant, because he Shen Xing has already planned everything. Medicine, cisterns, even salt, sugar, and spirits should all be prepared.

The few hairy young men in front of them don't look like veterans who have really been on the battlefield, but they can think about everything from the overall situation to the small details, and the night attack is the longest and most difficult combat mode to prevent, but these people actually came up with the idea of using Kong Ming lanterns to illuminate the entire battlefield, you say it's infuriating.

"Report, the outpost found a small number of enemy troops crossing the barbed wire fence and carrying tools to fill the trapped horse pit!" Shi Kefa raised his finger and pointed at several chiefs of staff, "You are really about to catch up with Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms, you are willing to gamble and lose, and these packs of Chinese cigarettes sent by Hou Ye before will be cheaper for you!" Sniper attacks a few rounds and then pull them off! Daming's red-coated cannon is no joke! ”

Several staff officers smiled happily, and while giving orders according to Shi Kefa's intentions, they unceremoniously pulled Chinese cigarettes from in front of him. As a staff officer in the army, cigarettes are naturally indispensable for ordinary supply, but like Zhonghua, who has money for a pack of silver and may not have a place to buy good cigarettes, they are also eager to buy them. Although there is a suspicion of deceiving the officials, who can bear it in front of the good smoke.

Hauge launched a secret raid on time at midnight, and 5,000 men and horses quietly crossed the blockade line, carrying short knives and iron tools, climbing all the way, digging all the way to bury them, but a tenth of the trapped horse pit had not been completed, and hundreds of Kong Ming lanterns were floating into the air one after another.

Although Hauge knew that something was wrong, he still did not give the order to withdraw, and of course Deadpool was not sent to death in vain, they found that the situation was wrong, and quickly took out the shield on their backs to cover their bodies.

But where can the small shield completely block the creeping body, so the dozens of snipers who have been waiting for the rabbit for a long time began to perform time, some hit the feet, some hit the waist, every round of Kong Ming lantern was raised high, dozens of Qing soldiers were beaten all over the ground rolling and wailing, luck almost couldn't help but lose the shield and could not escape the fate of being shot in the head with two shots on the ground.

The angry Lei Ling was furious, and the red-coated cannon shells were scarce and scarce, and he also knew that it was impossible for a small sporadic gunner to use them, but the catapult was different, and the fire oil as a standing military substance was not enough for the cannonballs, so hundreds of rubbles were loaded with large cans of fire oil and launched an attack on the enemy's ambush, and the area around the horse pit was burned into daylight in an instant.

The Qing army, which was originally lying on the ground, also stood up boldly at this time, and the speed of the burial doubled, which made Haoge strange that the expected artillery attack was delayed, which made him greatly relieved, and the east gradually turned white, which also expected this first large-scale attack to come.
