When Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang soldiers arrived in northern Xinjiang, they stood still in the rain for several hours, and the military appearance and military discipline shocked the northern army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the discipline of Li Zhi's soldiers and horses today is probably not weaker than that of Qi Shuai's Qi family army back then. The shock caused by such a soldier was not weaker than Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang soldiers.

And the well-made firearms on the shoulders of the soldiers of the Tiger Division, the heavy artillery and light artillery dragged by rows of military horses, and the full-body armor tied to the baggage carts made Hong Chengchou shake his head and sigh even more. I haven't seen him for more than two years, and Li Zhi's soldiers and horses have become stronger. It is really a blessing for the country that I will have such a strong army.

At this time, the general soldiers behind Hong Chengchou included Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Xuanfu, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan. Especially Wu Sangui, who had never seen Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, at this time he saw that the Xingguo Bo army was so well-equipped, he was dumbfounded and admired.

Li Zhi's cannons, firearms, and armor, as well as those military horses that were used as riding tools by the infantry, any one of them can be used to equip a certain army, and this army can immediately become an iron-blooded army. And these things are actually armed with a force at the same time, what a gorgeous soldier and horse is this?

Only soldiers and horses like Xingguobo can destroy the thieves in the south and the Tatars in the north, and make great achievements.

Finally, Li Zhi's Chinese army banner appeared in front, and Hong Chengchou led the three general soldiers under his command to meet him quickly.

Seeing Li Zhi on the horse, Hong Chengchou arched his hand and said: "Xingguobo came all the way north, and the trek on the road was hard!" ”

Li Zhi turned over and dismounted, arched his hand and said: "Serving the country, how dare you say bitterness?" However, Li Zhi was late and asked the governor to wait. ”

Hong Chengchou took Li Zhi's hand and said, "I heard that Xing Guobo is busy publishing newspapers in Shandong this month, how is it now?" ”

"It's been successfully issued!"

Hong Chengchou is extremely good at being a man, and his current honor and disgrace are all in the result of the Jinzhou War, so he does not reject Li Zhi's newspaper like other civil officials, but puts on a posture of concentricity with Li Zhi. Hearing Li Zhi's words, he laughed and said, "That's fine." When Xingguobo kills the Eastern Slaves in Liaoxi, everything will be worry-free. ”

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was so good at talking, Li Zhi also laughed, and the scene was very harmonious for a while.

Yang Guozhu walked up and said loudly: "Xingguobo hasn't seen him for many years, and the soldiers and horses are even more prosperous than at the beginning!" ”

Li Zhi saw Yang Guozhu, who had fought with Lu Xiangsheng with him, nodded and said, "General Zhenshuo is still strong, but Governor Lu is no longer there. ”

Yang Guozhu arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Xing Guobo's righteous words in front of the Son of Heaven, Lu Duchen was favored by the imperial court, and we were even exempted from the crime of losing our teacher by the Son of Heaven." ”

The two sighed for a while, and Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, stood up and said with a laugh: "The scene of killing slaves with Xingguobo in Gyeonggi three years ago is still vivid. Today, we support Jinzhou, and if we can kill some more Tartars, we will avenge Governor Lu again. ”

Wang Puji was able to speak, and immediately turned the topic of Li Zhi and Yang Guozhu to the current battle situation.

Li Zhi nodded, and said to Hong Chengchou: "Governor, since the army has been gathered, we will enter the big tent of the Chinese army and discuss how to retreat from the enemy!" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "What Xing Guobo said is very true, so we will go to the Chinese army to discuss the soldiers." ”

Everyone stepped on the war horses, Li Zhi and Hong Chengchou walked side by side, and walked towards Hong Chengchou's tent.

Passing by the military camps along the way, the heralds of the various armies rushed into the camps and shouted loudly, spreading the news that the soldiers and horses of Xingguo had arrived in Ningyuan. When the soldiers in the towns in the camps heard the news, their morale was greatly boosted.

The Tartar army went south to challenge the Ming army this time, preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army. Where has the Ming army fought a decisive battle with the Tartars over the years? Every time they saw the Tartars, they ran away, and they didn't dare to fight at all, and the Ming soldiers were very worried about the outcome of this battle.

But now that Xingguobo is here, the situation is different.

The story of Li Zhi's defeat of the Qing army in Fanjiazhuang and Qingshankou has spread all over the country with the interpretation of storytellers and drama troupes. The soldiers in all towns had already regarded Li Zhi as the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, when they learned of the arrival of Xingguobo's army, the soldiers' anxiety about the victory or defeat of this decisive battle calmed down a lot.

The Ming soldiers whose tents were close to the edge of the camp crowded to the edge of the camp to see what Xingguobo's soldiers and horses were like. When they saw the large number of guns and cannons in Li Zhijun's army, they couldn't help but let out a wave of admiration.

Li Zhi asked Xue Sanku to lead the soldiers and horses to camp, and he took the three regiment commanders into the Chinese army's tent to discuss the plan of killing slaves with other generals.

Entering the big tent, Li Zhi saw two large chairs side by side in the middle of the big tent, each with a bear skin on it. Hong Chengchou entered the tent, pointed to one of the chairs and said, "Xingguobo, please take a seat." ”

Now Li Zhi, as an earl, is among the nobles, and he is no longer an ordinary general soldier. Hong Chengchou asked Li Zhi to sit side by side with himself, which was to put Li Zhi in a position to fight against him. The other generals could only stand on both sides of the tent during deliberations.

Hong Chengchou is a veteran person, he has been a veteran in the military for a long time, and his way of thinking about problems is very different from that of ordinary civilian officials. He knew that Li Zhi was not only an earl, but also had a strong army and a different status. When he came up, he gave Li Zhi different treatment, and let Li Zhi sit on an equal footing with himself, with twelve points of courtesy.

If he treats Li Zhi with such courtesy, Li Zhi will be polite to him and respect his command. If he let Li Zhi stand like the rest of the general soldiers, where would Li Zhi obey Hong Chengchou's dispatch when he was dissatisfied?

Li Zhi thought about it in his heart, knew what Hong Chengchou meant, and was not polite, laughed and sat on the bearskin chair on the right. Zheng Kaicheng and several other regiment leaders stood behind Li Zhi.

Hong Chengchou also sat down, and with a wave of his hand, a large map was held up by the four guards and spread on the ground in front of the two big chairs. What is drawn on the map is the geography of mountains and rivers in the north, south, east and west of the Ningjin defense line, and the fortress of the city.

Hong Chengchou waved his hand, pointed at a general, and said, "Wu Sangui, you are the local town guard, and you know the geography of the mountains and rivers here best. Tell me about the current situation! ”

When Li Zhi heard the name of Wu Sangui, his heart was shocked, and he secretly said that this is the big traitor in history. He looked up and saw a young general in his thirties walking out. This general was dressed in white lacquer scale armor, a red cloak on his back, and a phoenix-winged helmet on his head, and he was in good spirits. He had a tall nose and sparkling eyes.

Wu Sangui walked to the front of the map, arched his hand and said, "The last general will be ordered." ”
