Li Zhi looked at Hong Chengchou quietly and didn't speak for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hong Chengchou was a little nervous, looked at Li Zhi and said: "The immortal strong soldiers under the command of Xingguo Bo should have pulled out his sword at the critical moment to give Dongnu a thunderous blow. If you use it everywhere, you will have to worry about the fatigue of the soldiers. ”

Li Zhi smiled and didn't say anything about Hong Chengchou's thoughts. He stood up and looked at the map, and asked, "I heard that the Tartars have trained tens of thousands of firecrackers, but in this camp, are there firecrackers?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Among the 20,000 Qing soldiers, there are 10,000 firecrackers, and there are more than a dozen small Hongyi cannons. ”

Li Zhi walked around the map and said with a smile: "This camp must have dug a ditch to protect the village, and there is an earthen wall built in it." ”

Wu Sangui was stunned and said: "Xing Guobo is right, there is a ditch dug outside this camp, and an earthen wall is built on the edge of the camp, and there is a wooden shed on the earthen wall to protect it from rain. ”

Li Zhi nodded, knowing that Tartar had learned the camp he had built at Qingshankou. He smiled and said, "Okay, Benbo will supervise the battle in the rear, and watch your soldiers and horses attack the city in front!" ”

Hong Chengchou was overjoyed when he heard this, and held Li Zhi's shoulder and said: "Xingguo Bo understands righteousness and is really a pillar of the country. ”

He turned around and waved his hand at the other generals, and said loudly: "Everyone, go back and reorganize the army, and tomorrow morning my army will be exhausted and attack the camp of Dongnu!" ”

The generals sang their promises loudly and withdrew from their tents.

Li Zhi also left, leading several regiment commanders to ride into his camp.

Halfway through the ride, Zheng Kaicheng said: "Uncle, Hong Chengchou clearly uses us as bitter masters, and we want to go up to attack the fortifications, and let us go down for merit." What is this? ”

Li Laosi also said suspiciously: "The owner, Hong Chengchou treats us like this, why doesn't the owner fight for reason?" If it really doesn't work, let's go back to Tianjin and stop fighting! ”

Li Zhi smiled: "This is not Hong Chengchou's idea, this is what the people above meant." I think Hong Chengchou is very obedient to the people above and will not change his course easily. If we quarrel with Hong Chengchou now, and then make a discord between the generals, it will be our responsibility to have a little flaw in this decisive battle. ”

Zheng Kaicheng asked, "What does Uncle mean?" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Hong Chengchou relies on him to have 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he doesn't take the 20,000 Tartar camp in his eyes. But he didn't know that the Tartars had learned all the camps we had built at Qingshankou and defended them with firearms, which were not so easy to attack. Since Hong Chengchou is afraid that we will go up to grab merit, let them suffer some hardships in front and see what a hot weapon is. ”

When Zhong Feng heard this, he laughed.

Zheng Kaicheng arched his hand and said: "Uncle is clever! ”

The next day, the army marched out and attacked in the northeast direction. Hong Chengchou was cautious in governing the army, releasing countless scouts along the way, carefully reconnoitering the surrounding situation, and it took three days to reach Beacon Hill, where the Tartars were encamped.

When they arrived at Bijia Mountain, the 40,000 Ming army was like a rainbow, surrounding the Tartar camp. Li Zhi's 15,000 soldiers and horses guarded the rear road as the palace army to supervise the battle.

Li Zhi rode a horse and stood in the Chinese army, holding a telescope to observe the Tartar camp in the distance.

The camp of the Tartars was built on a raised knoll. The hill was not high, and there was a gentle slope below the foot of the camp. The gentle slope has a drop of three or four meters and is more than 40 meters long. The whole camp is built according to the topography of the hillock, in a circle, with a circumference of about five or six miles. Four deep trenches were dug outside the camp, all of which were a foot wide and impassable. There was a small river to the south of the camp, and the water flowed into the moats of the moat, turning them into moats.

Tartar suffered a big loss at Qingshankou, and he admired Li Zhi's thermal weapons camp very much, and this time he went to learn everything. Li Zhi looked carefully with a telescope and found that there were thorns on the ground outside the camp, and behind it was thistles. Wooden sheds were built on the walls of the camp to protect them from the rain, so that the arquebusiers could still fight in the rain.

Li Zhi looked at the tight defense of the camp and secretly admired it. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was one of the most viable military organizations of this era. Although the mounted archery skills they had been relying on were defeated by Li Zhi's thermal weapons, they immediately turned the corner and began to equip them with thermal weapons to meet them, and their reaction speed was really fast.

On the other hand, the Ming army used a large number of hot weapons from the time when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country. But over the years, it has been worse every year. Not to mention the large number of armaments up to now, there are not many cannons in the field. Now the Ming army and the Qing army are fighting, and there are not as many cannons as the Qing army.

With such soldiers and horses against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how many years can the Ming army last?

Seeing Li Zhi using a telescope to observe the enemy camp, Hong Chengchou and the others were very envious. Looking at Li Zhi's careful peeping with a telescope, everyone knew that this telescope must be able to see far away. I heard that Xiyi has a clairvoyant mirror, which can see characters more than ten miles away. I don't know how Li Zhi's binocular tool compares to Xiyi's clairvoyant?

There are so many new weapons in Li Zhijun's array, and each one of them is very practical. Hong Chengchou and others had the intention to borrow a few binoculars to take a look, but they were embarrassed to speak.

Li Zhi put down the telescope and discovered the embarrassment of Hong Chengchou and others. After thinking about it, Li Zhi said with a smile: "This thing is called a telescope, which can spy on the enemy's reality dozens of miles away, which is very practical. ”

Hong Chengchou and the others listened to the meaning of Li Zhi's words, and seemed to be preparing to let everyone try it out, and they were very excited and nodded one after another.

"I see!"

Li Zhi said with a smile: "When you march and fight, you can't do it without a telescope." I sent four binoculars to the military gate and the three general soldiers! ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Hong Chengchou and the three general soldiers were overjoyed.

Hong Chengchou had to say a few polite words, took the telescope and said: "This thing must be precious, let Xingguo Bo break the bank!" ”

Wang Pu took a telescope from Li Zhi's personal guard, and said with a smile: "Xingguo Bo is really a bold person, I Wang Pu has written down this kindness!" ”

The four of them got the telescopes and raised them to look into the distance. After looking at the past, everyone discovered that this telescope was really amazing.

Yang Guozhu looked at the Qing army camp ten miles away with a telescope, put down the telescope and looked at it with the naked eye, and said in surprise: "Good! I actually saw the face of the Qing army behind the wall! ”

Wu Sangui took a closer look with a telescope and said, "The Tartars are well defended, and there are wooden thorns and thistles in front of the wall!" ”

Hong Chengchou grabbed the binoculars and looked at it, and said: "The various defenses outside this camp are really vicious, revealing a murderous aura everywhere, and I don't know who came up with it." ”

Wang Pu said loudly: "I didn't expect that there were such talents in the Tartar army. If he is caught by me, I will definitely chop him to death with a knife and eliminate this harm for me! ”
