Haoge looked at Du Du with disdain and said, "Du Du, you are scared of being beaten by Li Zhi, then Li Zhi is powerful in the field, and defending the city is not necessarily powerful." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Du Du panicked and said, "We can abandon Qingshan Pass and attack other Great Wall Passes!" Get out of the jam from the other gates! ”

Hearing Du Du's words, all Baylor were a little contemptuous, feeling that Du Du was really defeated by Li Zhi.

How easy is it to attack other gates temporarily? The Ming Dynasty has been operating the Great Wall for hundreds of years, and the major passes of the Great Wall are high walls and deep trenches, waiting for the battle. The Qing army had to cooperate carefully in all the passes of the Great Wall to know which passes were empty in defense before they could attack.

Even so, it may not be able to be captured, and it is necessary to cooperate carefully and wait for the right opportunity to break through. For example, this entry into the customs was when the detectives got the information, and when Wu Guojun, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, went to congratulate the prison army Deng Xizhao on his birthday, and was drunk, he suddenly launched an attack to succeed.

Sometimes the border walls near Gyeonggi were so well defended that the Qing army had to make a detour of thousands of miles to Xuanfu, Datong and even Shanxi in order to break through a fortress with empty defenses. It can be seen that it is difficult to break through.

As long as the pass of the Great Wall is slightly tighter, it is not something that Dorgon can break. The Qing army's ability to attack fortifications is not strong, as long as the Ming army is not too weak, the Qing army is generally helpless against the fortified city. There were only 1,000 weak soldiers on the city of Jinan, and this time Dolgon's tens of thousands of troops besieged Jinan for two months, but they failed to take it.

At this time, Dolgon was in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty all over the Ming Dynasty reported to the Emperor Taiji, and Dolgon could not get information for a while, and he did not know the reality of the passes of the Great Wall of the Ming Army, and he could not break through the pass at all. Attacking the well-defended pass was to give the lives of the Qing warriors to the Ming army for war in vain.

If you abandon Qingshan Pass to attack other Great Wall passes with high walls and deep trenches because of Li Zhi's four trenches, it will undoubtedly be easier to abandon than to seek difficulty.

Abatai didn't pay any attention to Du Du's words, but said to Hauge: "Using giant trees to make a wooden bridge across the trench, you can try, as long as you rush through these four trenches, our 70,000 people can defeat Li Zhi's 10,000 men!" ”

Haoge nodded and said: "Ordered general, we can give it a try, if 70,000 people give up Qingshan Pass because of the four trenches, where will our warriors dare to meet Li Zhi in the future?" So how can our warriors enter the customs and plunder? ”

Hauge is right, fighting in the era of cold weapons is the most important about morale. If the 70,000-strong army fled because of a few trenches, and later met Li Zhi, the Qing army could only flee as soon as they met.

Dorgon thought for a long time, then turned to look behind him.

Behind Dolgon, 70,000 Qing soldiers lined up behind the Chinese army, like a sea of iron armor in full swing. Seventy thousand people stood in the valley, covering every corner of the valley, looking boundless. The tassels on the helmets of the tens of thousands of warriors swayed in the wind, looking like flowers blooming in the valley in spring, which was dazzling. The flags on the backs of the warriors formed one cloud after another. 70,000 people are mighty, making people feel invincible.

How could such an army stop because Li Zhi was a small fortress?

Dorgon exclaimed, "Just make a wooden bridge, as Hauge said!" ”

The generals sang loudly, and each led his people down to camp, made a fire and made food, and prepared to go to the nearby mountains to cut down trees and make wooden bridges.

Li Zhi personally climbed into the pole car and used a telescope to observe the enemy in front of him.

The number of Qing troops was too large, 70,000 people, and the mighty momentum was daunting. Coupled with the robbery of more than 200,000 Ming people, the ranks of the Qing army spread all the way to the outside of the valley more than ten miles away. Looking from the pole car, the Qing army felt like an ant occupying the entire land, boundless.

Between heaven and earth, it seems that they are full of Qing army.

Li Zhi took a breath and carefully observed the details of the vast Qing army with a telescope.

Li Zhi looked at the past carefully, and only felt that the Qing army had a good command and a reasonable arrangement. The soldiers of each banner camped in groups in the valley, and they chose the higher ground and easy access to water, and arranged it in an orderly manner. In front of the baggage cart next to the Chinese army of the Qing army, the auxiliary soldiers pushing the cart were waiting for them, standing solemnly one by one, without the crowded noise of the Ming army when distributing grain, it was obvious that the military discipline in the Qing army was strict. The 200,000 Ming people were divided into twenty large groups and arranged in the belly of the Qing army. Although more than 200,000 Ming civilians and more than 100,000 livestock were in charge, there was no chaos in the Qing army's array.

Qing cavalry and sentries were stationed within two miles of the camp, blocking anyone who tried to enter the camp. Although Li Zhi's troops were small, the Qing army still dug two trenches outside the camp to resist the enemy. As a warring nation, the Jianzhou Jurchens did not have the slightest loophole in the war.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, compared to the whole world, were also an elite soldier. If Li Zhi hadn't mastered weapons far beyond this era, how would he dare to go head-to-head with such an enemy.

Even though the fortress was covered with various fortifications and the defense was tight, but at this time, seeing the mighty momentum of the Qing army, Li Zhi was still a little nervous because of the momentum.

Li Zhi looked at the various strict arrangements in front of his fortress again, and felt a little more at ease.

This time, the Qing army took Dolgon as the general who was ordered, and there were eight banners of Manchuria, including white, white, red, red, and blue. The banners of the Eight Banners of Mongolia poured out of the nest and all participated in the war. After several months of fighting, the Ming army had basically figured out the configuration of the Qing army. Among these 70,000 people, there were about 25,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, 20,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, and more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers.

Such a vast army is enough to defeat more than 100,000 Ming troops. The so-called whipping is nothing more than that, but Li Zhi wants to stop them with a fortress.

Li Zhi carefully checked his front layout again, and repeatedly imagined where there were loopholes.

On the morning of 16 February, Li Zhi was immediately observing the Qing army with a telescope, but he saw that the middle gate of the Qing army camp was wide open, and the Qing soldiers walked out of the camp holding a huge wooden bridge. One by one, the wooden bridges were lifted up and lined up in front of the formation. Twenty or thirty Qing soldiers stood under each wooden bridge.

Li Zhi observed with a telescope and found that the wooden bridges were more than three meters wide and more than six meters long. Each wooden bridge is made of three giant logs more than six meters long as keel, and then the keel is covered with dense small logs to make the bridge deck, which is fixed with ropes. Not only that, but there is also a wooden barrier in front of the wooden bridge, similar to a wooden shield hanging in front of the wooden bridge, probably to prevent Li Zhijun's rifle shots.

Li Zhi took a closer look at the wooden bridges and found that the Qing army had built a thousand wooden bridges within three days. (To be continued.) )
