Cai Mingren looked at Li Qingyuan with a tangled look and asked: "If it doesn't work, then we will still fight on the outside line, this enemy is coming from Linfen, and Lujia Town is the only place to go to Pu County, as long as we occupy this place and hold it, then the Qing army will naturally retreat without a fight." ”

Li Qingyuan's eyes lit up, this is a choice, of course not now, but to wait for the right time to give the Qing army a counter-encirclement.

Li Qingyuan said: "You don't need to say any more, go back and train the troops, I believe that the Third Division can hold it, and now the matter is not yet an emergency, as for jumping out of the outer line, this time is different from the past, our land reform in the base areas has just begun, and we can't easily shake it, so let's wait." ”

Li Qingyuan sent Cai Mingren away, and asked Hou Zheng again: "Where is the second batch of barrels in Taihang?" When will it arrive? Let Taihang transfer the third batch over, the third batch of 3,000 rods, and ship it as soon as possible..."

Hou Zheng nodded and went out to give orders, and came back after a while and said, "The second batch of generals has crossed the Fen River and is expected to arrive here within three days." ”

Li Qingyuan smiled happily, with this thousand guns, Li Qingyuan's grasp is even greater.

The musket factory on Luliang's side has also entered a stable production period, and the output of 100 poles in three days is still available, so that Li Qingyuan will have an extra 5,000 musketeers in his hands in a month, and they can give a devastating blow to the Qing army if they are put into any battlefield.

Li Qingyuan's series of clear orders were passed down, everyone moved, an arrow was shot at the head of Puxian County at night, and when the soldiers in the city reacted and looked down, there was indeed nothing below, and the sharp eyes saw that the arrow was tied to something and removed it to see that it was a letter, everyone saw the mess on the letter paper and immediately passed it to the division commander, the division commander was sleeping on the city tower, and was shouted by the deputy division commander Qin, the two looked at the letter and immediately let the herald decrypt it, and after unraveling it, the two came up to see it, and after reading it, the two were speechless for a long time.

Deputy Division Commander Qin frowned and asked, "Divisional Commander, is a month too much..."

The division commander looked at him and said: "The general thinks that if we can hold out for a month, we can hold out for a month, and if we can't hold on, it must be that we have a problem with our tactics and thinking!" ”

Division Commander Qin hurriedly explained: "Division Commander, you see, I didn't mean that, you see, the Qing army has attacked very fiercely in the past two days, and today they almost climbed to the top of the city, if we fight like this, we won't even be able to hold on for ten days..."

The division commander sneered: "Hmph! The general said that this morale is such a thing as one victory, then decline, and three exhaustion, and the Qing soldiers will be jumping up and down in the first two days, don't you see that there will be no overnight attack today? ”

The division commander was talking about the sudden shouting of killing under the city, and the two were stunned for a moment, and the deputy division commander Qin hurriedly said: "The Qing soldiers of the dog day steal the city, and the division commander will go!" ”

The division commander grabbed him: "You have been keeping watch for half the night, I will come in the second half of the night, you go to rest and rest." ”

Deputy Division Commander Qin patted his chest: "It's okay, let's be strong, but you haven't slept for two days and one night, you have to rest well, you see that the bloodshot in your eyes is still there!" ”

The division commander shook his head lightly: "Forget it, I can't see anything with the musket this night, I'm not at ease, I'll go, you rest and rest, and you will be for me tomorrow." ”

The division commander strode out of the city gate, and the soldiers outside had already begun to put their guns down the city, and the division commander came to see the black area under the city, only heard human voices, and did not see the human figure, frowned and asked, "Is there a way to make the bottom light up?" ”

The second regiment commander looked at the city and said: "Only when the explosive package explodes, the fire can illuminate it, and there is no other way." ”

At this time, a squad leader looked at the two people and said: "Division commander, regiment commander, we heard that Zhuge Liang burned the grass dumplings of the Bowangpo regiment and ignited the Cao army, we can also use the grass regiment to form a regiment, and then we can burn the Qing army and illuminate it..."

The division commander patted his leg happily: "Good way!" Give you a credit, go find someone to tie the grass dumplings, add some rags and oil, go quickly! ”

The people below hurriedly prepared, at this time the Qing army began to set up a ladder on the city wall, the division commander hurriedly asked the troops to select a part of the shooters to put guns under the ladder, and the Qing army under the city also took the opportunity to put guns on the city wall, the bird gun was no different from the troops on the city at this distance, the city received snipers, and the efficiency of dealing with the Qing army climbing the ladder was reduced, the Qing army took the opportunity to quickly climb up the city wall, two or three places The Qing army had climbed the city wall, and the division commander immediately ordered: "Put the explosive pack!" ”

Dozens of explosives were thrown near the ladder, and there was a scream below, but tonight's Qing army didn't know what to be inspired by, surprisingly tenacious, and after a while, the ladder was erected again, and someone climbed up, and the division commander roared angrily: "The sword and shield hand is ready to go with me to drive the Qing army down!" ”

Ten sword and shield men are a squad, each squad deals with a ladder, and the three hundred sword and shield men are divided into thirty groups to guard the four city walls, and there are only eight groups on this side, but the Qing army did set up dozens of ladders on one city wall.

A Qing army climbed up, and when you solve him, he may be able to keep up with two or three Qing soldiers after his death, and the division commander will fall into a bitter battle after a short time, and he has no choice but to continue to order to throw explosive bags, and after another round of explosives bags, the logistics company commander came up and said: "The division commander has more than a hundred explosive bags left..."

The division commander sighed helplessly, although the explosives package is easy to use, but I heard that it consumes gunpowder, and they only prepared more than 400 in one division.

The division commander looked behind him, and the black balls in the rear were carried up, and the division commander said happily: "Throw it down for me if you light it, the musketeers are ready, and the light is up below to give me continuous shooting!" ”

The Qing army was attacking, and suddenly saw that the fireballs suddenly ignited on the city, and then the fireballs were thrown down along the city wall, some scattered and ignited, some did not scatter and burned there, and the unlucky ones were just hit by the grass balls and were burned alive.

Then the gunfire on the city wall became lively, the Qing army began to fall in large numbers, the place where people gathered and gathered was also taken care of by the explosives package, the Qing army's attack intensity was instantly reduced, they had tasted the sharpness of the bandits' firearms in the past two days, and they had already been frightened.

When the second wave of grass dumplings in the city was pushed down, the Qing army saw that the sneak attack was already ineffective, and the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops finally came from the rear.

The division commander stood at the head of the city with a solemn expression, just now the doctor came to report, thirty-seven dead, more than fifty seriously injured, this sneak attack killed nearly 100 people in the third division, and although the grass dumplings are effective, but the firewood and grass in the city are limited, and they cannot support their continuous use, and the residents of the city still have to eat, how can they use all the firewood to make grass dumplings.
