When Su Zhengqing was hesitating, the battle in Wuzhou Mansion entered a white heat.

Fifteen thousand remnants of the defeated army were taken down in three days, and less than 3,000 soldiers and horses withdrew into the city, Feng Shuangli was already anxious, he only had 10,000 directly subordinate troops in his hands, 8,000 soldiers of the new army, and 4,000 remnants of the defeated general.

The enemy has been attacking Wuzhou Mansion for three days, and the artillery has collapsed three city walls, although the city wall is tall, and the collapsed place is more than three meters from the ground, and the enemy wants to attack it, but also has to use a ladder, but if it goes on like this, Wuzhou Mansion will fall sooner or later, will he be defeated and die, and be loyal to the country, although he is not such a shameless person, he will not think that it is impossible to be loyal to the country, but he is unwilling.

Eight thousand soldiers of the new army, four thousand remnants of the defeated army will be sent to the head of the city to defend day and night, three days, at this time they are also very tired, Feng Shuangli has to consider sending his direct army to the city wall to participate in the defense.

On the other side, Kong Youde was calm and calm at the beginning, and now he is also anxious.

Along the way, he lost about 5,000 soldiers and horses, but recruited 50,000 soldiers and horses, although this is not much combat effectiveness of the cannon fodder troops, but half a month under the city, lost his 50,000 soldiers, although these soldiers are not his descendants of the soldiers and horses, but there are also his new army soldiers, more than 8,000, killed in battle, it seems that the Chinese army's trenches, trenches, according to horses, the city combined with the defensive method, is indeed the most advanced defensive method of his era.

Now his barracks are full of wounded soldiers, there are 30,000 people lying down, 8,000 people who are wounded and have lost their combat effectiveness, 20,000 people who have lost patience and whose confidence has collapsed, and 58,000 people who have really died in battle, and only more than 80,000 people are now consumed by his 150,000 army, and the key is not death, injury and consumption, but morale.

The morale of the soldiers is disappearing, and the soldiers are tired of such battles.

How will this battle be fought?

There was also news from Kong Youxing over there, they were overwhelmed in the early stage, and they also chased Feng Shuangli's general and fled to the Trench Gate Realm, but they encountered the same difficulties as him in the Trench Gate Realm.

After fighting for two days, Kong Youxing participated in the battle of the trench gate, and after 10,000 casualties and more than 2,000 surrendered troops fled, he changed his route and took the army to Zhaoqing Mansion.

On the way, he was defeated by Wang Deren's cavalry brigade, and now he has fled in this direction, and his strength is less than 40,000 soldiers.

Whether to continue the attack or retreat back to Guilin Mansion, Kong Youde also made a difficulty.

After Zhang Qiang received the report of the intelligence officer who inquired about the battlefield nearby, he laughed, but his mood was relieved, Zhaoqing Mansion seems that the Qing army does not have to think about it, Zhaoqing Mansion has been saved, it depends on whether the Southern Ming Army has the courage to send reinforcements to Su Zhengqing, Su Zhengqing has reinforcements, and then give Kong Youde a soldier to surround Guilin Mansion, Kong Youde is not in a hurry to jump his feet, and immediately withdraw from the siege to protect his lair?

In that case, Nan Mingguo will move from the dilemma of being passively attacked to the right path of attacking and consuming the strength of the Qing army, which is also what Zhang Qiang hopes.

At this time, Zhang Qiang received two other messages.

First, Li Dingguo sent troops to the Qing troops on the border of Guizhou Prefecture, and at the same time cleared the Guizhou Tusi who opposed him, the whole army of 100,000 troops was exhausted, and only 30,000 elite soldiers were left in Yunnan Prefecture to defend, and the Qing soldiers urgently transferred 30,000 troops from Sichuan Prefecture and Huguang to rescue the Qing army in Guizhou Prefecture, and Wu Sangui also went south again from Shaanxi and Gansu to fight to the death with Li Dingguo.

The other is about the battlefield of the Southern Ming Kingdom, Shang Kexi successfully escaped back to Guilin Mansion, and rebelled against the 30,000 troops who were previously loyal to him who were reorganized by Kong Youde, regained military power, and made a note to the Qing court, and the Qing army continued to canonize him as the king of Jingnan, and let him assist Mang Gurtai in defending Guilin Mansion, which is not good news.

Zhang Qiang's mood fell into a trough again.

He couldn't wait to crawl over immediately to help Su Zhengqing fight this battle.

"Do you want to learn about real-time combat on the battlefield?" The system asked.

"Well," Zhang Qiang's good and bad mood is indifferent, the system is like a conspirator hiding in the corner to spy on you, so that you are suddenly frightened, which is very detrimental to Zhang Qiang's physical and mental health, Zhang Qiang is very indignant, but there is no way, he can't counter it, people are the best helpers of the traverser, and they are also the master who needs to be carefully served by the traverser.

"I think, but it's useless," Zhang Qiang said to the system.

"You don't need to contribute or pay for guns, the self you gave you in the world of riding and slashing has already helped a lot, he has thousands of arquebuses is already very powerful, the enemy will not be as cerebral as him, and you have ambushed five historical celebrities, the system has not rewarded you yet, this time is a big reward."

"I think it's like four, right?" Zhang Qiang wondered.

"Li Guangdi has been recovered by you, this time he dragged Su Zhengqing back to the army is to help the Huaxia Army consume the strength of the Qing army, he already admires you, that is, the new army you helped Nanming Guo train, the performance in Liuzhou Mansion is very powerful, it doesn't take a day to smash the enemy's broken shell, he feels that it is your credit, so now he admires it very much, is impressed by you, and volunteered to serve as the internal response of Nanming like Jin Sheng, unlike before, although it is an internal response, but the work is still towards Nanmingguo."

This is good news, Zhang Qiang said happily.

"So what reward will I be given this time? I don't need to give me riding skills, running, shield defense and other personal ability improvement skills, as the lord of a country, there will not be too many opportunities to go into battle in person, I am a lord of Zhimeiliu, of course, I am hiding behind to command the soldiers and horses to fight, the last time in the trench realm was also an accident, the Nanming army was defeated too quickly, the enemy ran behind me, and it would be bad for me to retreat. ”

Zhang Qiang gave a vaccination to the riding and chopping system.

"No, no, the skills given to you this time are completely suitable for you, the Lord of the Wisdom Stream, a war eagle that allows you to check the real-time situation on the battlefield, can fly thousands of kilometers, and report the facts on the battlefield to you."

This is good news, Zhang Qiang's mood suddenly became excited again.

It is too late to understand the situation on the battlefield in a timely manner, and it does not take a few days or half a month to get the situation on the battlefield, and when the time comes, it is too late to adjust the deployment, and the price of remote command is the same as the old Chiang in the Republic of China era, so that the army is defeated and becomes a transport brigade, which cheapens the enemy and damages itself.

By the way, he patted his head, why didn't he think of it, since the beginning of the millennium, there were stories and examples of flying pigeons in ancient China, how did he not think of such a situation, let the soldiers advance with carrier pigeons, and report the news to the rear at any time, and the rear used carrier pigeons to command the details of the front, so that the details of the army to inform how to march, where the enemy is, isn't it very good?

I forgot about this myself. After a while, we must summon Milin and let him immediately establish a carrier pigeon system to increase the efficiency of the military intelligence department, otherwise the battle or intelligence thousands of miles away will be transmitted through the intelligence officer, at least four or five days, which will require the messenger to go all out, and there must be an intelligence station to answer, and a lot of manpower and material resources will be used, at most half a month or a month, if it is Sichuan, it is estimated that it will take three or four months.

It is very likely that the intelligence agent will completely lose contact with the intelligence because of the ambush of the robbers, bandits, and black-hearted shopkeepers on the way, and the place in the four mountains has been fighting for many years, and it is a poor mountain and bad water, there are no people for thousands of miles, and the intelligence agent is starved to death by starvation, and it is difficult to transmit information.

Have a carrier pigeon intelligence system, although it is possible that the carrier pigeon is caught by the eagle, artificially caught, you can put a few more, there is always one who can pass the information over, far away is only a month, close only a few hours can come.

Miscalculation, now to organize such a system, it will take almost a year to two years to spread all over the country, but in the southeast and southwest, it is very easy for the Huaxia Army and the Southern Ming Kingdom to occupy the land, it is almost two months, and the use of the ready-made system can be paved, and there must be people who raise pigeons among the people, and by the end of the year, the intelligence system in the southeast and southwest can also be rolled out.

The carrier pigeon intelligence system plus his own war eagle can improve the efficiency of commanding operations to two to three days, and the situation in many places will not change much, unless there are special circumstances, such as Feng Shuangli in Wuzhou Mansion, I don't know what his current situation is, whether he has been killed in the city.

"How can I operate the Warhawk?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"The war eagle needs to spend spirit points, every time you go out to the battlefield thousands of miles away, you need three spirit points, and the physical requirements for you are very high, if the spirit is not good, the physical strength can not support, you can't operate the war eagle, otherwise it will reduce the time and distance in the air, at present you have five spirit points, your physical fitness can support the war eagle to stay in the air for twenty-four hours, are you sure to release the war eagle?"

"Then when the war eagle needs to report the situation to me, how can I accept it?" Zhang Qiang did not answer the rhetorical question system.

"You just need to hide in a room and close your eyes to see the battlefield through the eyes of a war eagle." The system answers.

"Can you take my instructions to the generals on the front?" Zhang Qiang thought of the flying pigeon and passed the book, and tied his own letter to Su Zhengqing and Li Guangdi to the legs of the war eagle.

"No, the function of your system cannot be exposed, so you have to use an intelligence agent to deliver messages, or when your carrier pigeon system is built, you use carrier pigeons to deliver messages." The system answers.

Zhang Qiang was very helpless, just a reconnaissance plane that kept him abreast of the battlefield news.

But this is not bad, at least wait a few days here for yourself, rely on guessing to command the war, you are not a famous general from ancient times, you can completely rely on imagination, feel the pulse of the enemy, predict the enemy's next move, and then make targeted prevention, which can also make up for the lack of military command, after all, I have not learned advanced combat command, I used to play related games, with the advanced musket tactics of later generations, with the strength to crush the enemy, but such experience is always useful.

Or the enemy will become more and more powerful, familiar with your set, the ancients are not the big fools that later generations think, they can be played by any traverser.

Hong Chengchou is very good at learning, if it were not for the purpose of reducing losses and dealing with the enemy's huge sea of people, he would not let Nanming go first and mobilize the enemy's troops.

Zhang Qiang handed over the things around him to Mi Chun and his personal guards, turned around and returned to his bedroom, pushed open the window, drank tea, sat in the Taishi chair and looked at the scenery outside, and gave instructions to the system, "The war eagle set off, and the target is Wuzhou Mansion." ”
