Chapter 544: Planning

Thank you very much for the reward from Song Song'er (100)!

The generals were all curious in their hearts, but seeing Luo Xin's calm face and closed his mouth, they didn't dare to ask each other, so they only kept guessing in their hearts.

Luo Xin's eyes suddenly froze, and he saw a scout team outside the city galloping towards them, entering the city, and soon came to Luo Xin's face.

"Report, Master Ma's headquarters will arrive in the capital in the early hours of tomorrow morning."

As soon as the scout's voice fell, the generals couldn't help but let out a commotion. Everyone knows in their hearts that since Ma Fang's rout army will arrive in the capital in the early morning of tomorrow, the time for Huang Taiji's army to come to the city will not be far away.

Seeing the commotion of the generals, Luo Xin frowned slightly, and his eyes glanced over coldly, and the generals felt a chill in their hearts, and they immediately fell silent. And while they saw Luo Xin's cold eyes, they also felt Luo Xin's calmness, which made their flustered hearts calm down. After calming down, he felt that he was timid in front of Luo Xin, and he couldn't help blushing one by one.

At this time, these generals were like students in front of Luo Xin, waiting for the teacher to punish them. Seeing that they all lowered their heads, Luo Xin did not reprimand them, but looked at the scout and said:

"Did you see Master Ma?"

"See."

"Do you know how many troops Master Ma still has?"

"Less than six thousand!"

The faces of all the generals were pale, and there was a look of panic in their eyes. Ma Fang is also a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, before Luo Xin was born, Ma Fang can be described as the first general of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, Qi Jiguang did not have a reputation. However, it is such a famous general, with an army of 100,000, but in the end Huang Taiji broke through Datong, and now there are more than 5,000 people left by his side.

Will Luo Xin really be able to hold the capital?

"How far is Huang Taiji behind Master Ma?"

"Huang Taiji didn't follow closely behind Master Ma, he just sent a small force of cavalry to chase and kill the rout, and his army was slaughtering the counties and villages around Datong and looting all kinds of supplies."

Luo Xin's face turned pale, this Huang Taiji is really preparing to slaughter the country, presumably now the people of Daming around Datong have been killed by him. took a deep breath and calculated silently, even if Huang Taiji had already begun to leave Datong at this time and was approaching the capital, the army would not be too fast, and at least Luo Xin would be given five days to prepare.

Luo Xin stared there and pondered, the surroundings were silent, and a pair of eyes converged on Luo Xin's body.

"Hoo ......"

Luo Xin let out a long breath, held the city wall with his hand, looked in the direction of Datong, and muttered in a low voice:

"Huang Taiji, how can it be enough to just beat you? I want your head. ”

Although his voice was soft, in this silence, the generals behind him could hear it clearly. couldn't help but look uplifted, and looked at Luo Xin's back with burning eyes.

"Ordered Ma Fang, after arriving in the capital, the army was encamped outside the city, and he came to see the official immediately."

"Yes!"

The scout's heart jumped, and he took the order. The eyes of all the generals flickered a little, and they secretly said in their hearts:

"Could it be that Luo Xin is going to take Ma Fang under the knife? Or has His Majesty already issued a secret decree, and as soon as Ma Fang arrives, he will be arrested and put in prison? ”

Luo Xin stood there again without saying a word, his brows gradually furrowed, and the more he wrinkled, the tighter he wrinkled. Tonight, he would take the craftsmen of the Ordnance Division to take the thunderbolts out of the city, and connect those thunderbolts with bamboo pipes and use them as land mines. Give Huang Taiji a slap in the head.

Of course, he also knew that this would not cause much casualties to Huang Taiji, because he could not wait for Huang Taiji to camp before detonating the ground mines, because then the land mines under the ground would be found when Huang Taiji was camped, so only before Huang Taiji set up camp, this effect would be much worse.

This is Luo Xin's idea of taking the initiative, but he has not come up with a better idea in terms of defense, and Luo Xin knows that there is probably only one time to take the initiative to attack, and Daming will be on the defensive in the next few months, so defense is the top priority.

But......

What can be done to make the defence more solid?

Luo Xin's brain hurt a little at this time, he took a deep breath and calmed down his anxious mood, Luo Xin's previous life was a historian, not a military strategist, he had a limited understanding of war, and he was really a little tricky at this time. As a last resort, he began to recall the war movies he watched in his previous life, although he knew that movies were fake, but now he can only find inspiration from the movies he watched in his previous life.

"Barbed wire!"

Luo Xin's eyes flashed countless World War II movie shots, without exception, every movie has barbed wire, from the movie he can see, the barbed wire in the fortifications is the nightmare of the infantry, only later after the appearance of tanks, the barbed wire lost its power.

Luo Xin began to look at the city wall, and his fingers began to gesture over the wall, and everyone behind him looked at him curiously, not knowing what he was doing there.

Luo Xin had already formed a clear impression in his heart at this time, made a batch of two and a half long iron rods, bent them at a forty-five degree angle one meter away from the upper end, and then inserted the iron rods on the city wall, and put the upper end towards the outside of the city wall, inserting one on the city wall at each distance, and then hung the barbed wire on it, and laid it down from the upper end to the corner, and rolled up the rest of the part.

In this way, there is more than one meter of space from the corner to the city wall, from this space to shoot arrows, throw rolling wood and stones without delay, when the defensive pressure to the limit, the enemy is about to attack the city wall, then the wire fence wrapped in the corner of the iron rod is pulled down, fixed on the city wall, so that a complete barbed wire fence is formed.

In this way, if the steppe tribes wanted to attack the city, they had to climb through the barbed wire. But this barbed wire is not straight, but bent outward at forty-five degrees, it is extremely difficult to climb through such barbed wire, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not watch them climb the barbed wire, the mesh of the barbed wire Luo Xin is ready to make it bigger, so that the spear can pierce through the barbed wire.

Besides......

At this time, isn't it the time for the Divine Machine Battalion to show its might?

The Shenji Battalion is actually a musket battalion, but the power of the musket in the Ming era is really not very good, it is not accurate, and the speed is also slow.

However, with barbed wire it is different.

Those people from the grassland tribes are hanging on the barbed wire, and the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion can completely put the muzzle of the gun on the opponent's body and shoot, which is a dozen and one accurate.
