The next morning, when the Wei soldiers came to their senses, Zhao Mingchong came to Xiayang Fort, ready to urge the soldiers to repair the earthen wall that had been smashed by the cannonballs, and at the same time let people rearrange the horses and antlers outside the trench, and sprinkle some thistle terrestris.

Yesterday's First World War, the Wei army annihilated and captured more than 5,000 Qing troops, which made the Wei army full of confidence in the defense line.

Zhao Mingchong came to Xiayang Fort in a good mood, thinking, "If the Tartars continue to attack today, and defeat thousands of them again, when the king sends troops, it will be easy to take Hedong." ”

At this time, Zhao Mingchong, who was wearing a mountain-patterned armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a black cloak behind him, came to the defense line, but a commander of the brigade bumped into him.

"General, there is a military intelligence report for your humble position!" The commander saw Zhao Ming hurriedly coming up and hugging his fists.

Zhao Mingchong smiled on his face, "Do you remember to eat or not, are you going to attack early in the morning?" ”

"It's not! The Tartars dug trenches and built walls opposite us, as if they were not fighting! The Commander pointed to the northeast.

Zhao Mingchong frowned, a little surprised, "Let's go, take a look!" ”

Not long after, Zhao Mingchong came to the earthen wall, looked at the distant wilderness, and saw a gray line appear on the distant wilderness. He hurriedly pulled out his clairvoyant mirror to observe, and many heads leaked on the horizon, and the Qing soldiers were digging deep trenches and raising a spade of dirt.

Zhao Mingchong's face was stunned, his brows were twisted, the turtle grandson was shameless!

"Quick, go and inform the governor!" Zhao Mingchong turned his head and ordered, and then picked up the clairvoyant mirror again to observe the movement on the opposite side.

~~~~~~

About three miles away from the Wei army's front, the Qing army dug a deep trench parallel to the Wei army's defense line overnight and built an earthen wall.

At this time, Azig led many Qing generals and watched tens of thousands of Qing troops sweat in the wilderness, while the 3,000 cavalry on the hillside monitored the Wei army's defense line to prevent the Wei army from interfering with the Qing army's trenches.

"Back then, when we were in Daling River and Jinzhou, we were also full of deep trenches and walls to lock the city." Azig raised his whip and pointed to the wilderness, "Zunta, this king has commanded you to build at least three defensive lines, each with walls twice as thick as those of the barbarians, and the ditches deeper than the barbarians and wider than theirs. ”

"Wow! The prince can rest assured, his subordinates have already asked people to recruit young people from Jiangzhou, Jiezhou, and Pingyang to build a defense line according to the prince's requirements! "Zhun Ta saluted.

Azig bowed slightly, and then commanded: "Outside the trench, horse stakes and antlers should also be arranged, in short, this king should let the barbarians taste what they made themselves!" ”

After killing 5,000 people in half a day, Azig decided to copy a set of things from the Wei army and strengthen them, and he must make Gao Yihuan suffer as well, so that he knows how disgusting he is.

Zhun Ta nodded, but then asked again: "Lord Wang, what about the mortar cannon and flowering shell?" ”

Azig groaned for a while, but Shang Kewei on the side said: "Lord Wang, you can use a stone thrower to launch a sky-shaking thunder." Wei Jun had done this earlier. ”

Azig's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Shang Ke approvingly, and then said, "This is a good method. If the range is not enough, you can put it behind the second line of defense! ”

"Subordinates understood!" Zhun Ta nodded, "Lord Wang, after our side is completely on the defensive, are we going to turn around and deal with Jiang Xiang?" ”

Azig shook his head, "No, this king has to attack again. After entering the customs, the king has not yet been defeated, and the name of the first generation cannot be folded here. ”

Azig looked at the Wei defense line in the distance with fire-breathing eyes, and said hatefully: "This king, digging trenches and building walls here, the Wei army on the opposite side must think that this king will turn to the defense, and it is inevitable that he will slack off, and this king will wait for Ye Chen to collect the boat, send a group of soldiers and horses to go down by boat, go around the Wei defense line, and attack the Wei army on both sides." If he succeeds, the king will take advantage of the situation to recover Pujin Pass, drive the Wei army back to Guanzhong, and then turn around to clean up Jiang Xiang, if it fails, then the king will go on the defensive, and then directly clean up Jiang Xiang. ”

After hearing this, Zhun Ta and the others' eyes lit up, "The prince is really wise!" ”

"Haha~" Azig smiled rarely, "Speaking of which, this king also has to thank the barbarians, if it weren't for them, this king would not have come up with such a plan, if it weren't for seeing that the defense line they built was difficult to break through, this king wouldn't have been sure to turn around and solve Jiang Xiang." ”

For a while, Azig felt a little complacent in his heart, he was prepared with both hands, if the sneak attack was successful, then he would take Pujin Pass directly, if it failed, he believed that with this defense system, it was enough to resist the invasion of the Wei army's 100,000 troops, and he had time to solve Jiang Xiang, stabilize Hedong, and then turn around and continue to rely on defense to consume the Wei army.

~~~~~~

On the Wei army's defense line, Huang Bingzhong led a group of generals to the earthen wall and took the clairvoyant mirror in the hands of his subordinates to watch.

Zhao Mingchong on the side hurriedly said: "Governor, the first line of defense of the Tartars has begun to take shape, and they may build a second or third." In this way, we will be in trouble when we attack! ”

Huang Bingzhong accepted the clairvoyant mirror, was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This governor must report to the king immediately!" ”

~~~~~~

At the end of September, Guanzhong.

On both sides of the Danshui River, groups of slender men leaned forward, struggling to drag the big boat, moving forward with difficulty.

On the high slope in the distance, a team of cavalry is stationed, Gao Yihuan overlooks Danshui, on the river is a large ship one after another, on both sides of the bank are a string of slender men, as well as walking soldiers, it looks magnificent.

"Hey~Stepping on the big riverbank, pulling the fiber forward bravely~"

"Hey~ After Jingzikou, the front Longju Village ~"

Gao Yihuan listened to the sound of trumpets coming from both sides of the river, and he didn't feel goosebumps on his body, this kind of primitive trumpet, coupled with the scene on the river, made him feel excited.

"King, this batch of materials has food, gunpowder and weapons made in Xiangyang, as long as they are transported to Guanzhong, the army can move!" Chen Mingxia said to Gao Yihuan.

This time, the Western Wei State claimed to have sent 300,000 troops, but in fact, only 140,000 troops were mobilized.

Although only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, it was still a challenge for the Western Wei State.

First of all, the people of the Western Wei Kingdom, in order to fight Sichuan, they smoked Ding, did not rest for a few months, and the farm work at home was not finished, and the Qing army attacked and disturbed Guanzhong, and the people served several months of hard labor.

I thought that after annihilating the plundering Tartars, I would be able to stop for a while, but who knew that the feudal government was going to go on a big crusade again.

Therefore, the people must have complained about this, but fortunately, there is training and publicity, and there are literary and artistic teams to perform, so that they know that if they don't fight the Tartars, the Tartars will come again next year. Do you want the Tartars to come to your house again next year to rob them, or do you want to fight and destroy the Tartars?

In this way, the people also understand that the road from Huguang to Guanzhong, from Jingzhou to Nanyang, and from Sichuan to Xi'an is full of people transporting materials.

For the common people, it is a challenge to endure long hours of hard labor.

For the feudal government, the war affected production, affected the resettlement of refugees, and at the same time, it was also a challenge.

In particular, the Wei army had too many firearms, and after a battle, the consumption was huge, and the output of gunpowder was very limited, which limited the Wei army's operations.

Gao Yihuan listened to Chen Mingxia's words and nodded, "Okay!" Xuanyi Wei beat the report, Nanjing secretly assembled an army, has been preparing for the Northern Expedition, since the materials are ready, then the king should also go on the expedition! ”

At this time, Li Laiheng climbed up on horseback and saluted: "King, the beating from Puzhou!" ”

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and said, "Take it!" ”

~~~~~~

At the beginning of October, Puzhou Mansion, the place where the Wei army and the Qing army were opposed.

Gao Yihuan led a group of generals to the front line, picked up a clairvoyant mirror and observed the opposite side, the first thing that caught his eye was rows of stilted wooden stakes, and then obstacles such as antlers and horses covered the earth, and there were trenches and earthen walls, which made Gao Yihuan frown, and only felt that he was on a battlefield somewhere on the Western Front of World War I.

Huang Bingzhong, who was on the side, introduced: "King, the Tartars are completely copying our ideas and building a line of defense. Now they have built the first road, and are building the second and third~"

"Shameless! Turtle Sun is so fucking disgusting! Gao Yihuan couldn't help but scold, he wanted to hurt the Tartars, but he didn't expect to hurt himself instead.

At this time, he looked at the other side with some anger and asked, "You can't let the Tartar continue to cultivate, do you have any ideas?" ”

Huang Bingzhong said: "King, the minister has come up with an idea these days~"
