In the arrow tower at the head of the city, Hu Guang's mood was also slightly high, and he said to Man Gui with an excited face: "I remind you of one thing, the purpose of this battle to defend the capital division is to kill and injure as many people as possible to attack the city and build prisoners, not just to defend the Beijing division. ”

"The last general understands!" Man Gui was very confident at this time, after all, the emperor had done all kinds of things for him, and guarding the city was the most basic.

Hu Guang nodded after hearing this: "Over there in Shanhaiguan, Zu Dashou has led more than 10,000 of the most elite in Guanning to rescue Changli, and the captives on Changli's side are mainly Mongolian tribes, and there will be news about victory or defeat in these two days, what do you think the result is?" ”

When Man Gui heard this, he thought about it carefully, and immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, as long as Zu Dashou makes up his mind, he will not lose!" ”

He had also been staying in Guanning before, and at present, he was the first person in the Jingshi to solve the strength of Changli and us, and his answer should be the most reliable.

Hu Guang listened, smiled and said: "I don't dare to worry about the ancestor Dashou, so at least the battle of Changli will not be lost." In this way, when the news reaches here, Jian Yu may retreat, can you understand what I mean? ”

Man Gui was not stupid, after thinking about it for a while, after receiving the news of the results of the battle in Changli, the Nu Chief could basically guess how Jianlu would act, so he assured loudly again: "In these two days, as long as Jianlu dares to attack the city, he will definitely kill and injure Jianlu in large numbers!" ”

At this moment, the eunuch sent back to the palace by Gao Shiyue returned, and the telescope appeared in front of the palace.

Hu Guang took the monocular, it was very simple, very old-fashioned, he looked at it a little, and then turned his head with the telescope to look at the camp in the distance.

This telescope is about four or five times the size, and you have to close one eye to see it, the effect is average.

Hu Guang looked at it for a while, and handed the telescope to Man Gui a little strangely: "This thing will be left to Qing, and you can observe it more carefully." Man Qing came to see, does Jianyu usually eat at this hour? ”

Countless cooking smoke rose from the camp, apparently cooking on a fire, which could be seen without binoculars. Man Gui turned his head and saw it, and immediately told Hu Guangyu: "Back to Your Majesty, Jianyu wants to eat enough to attack the city, and the war will be earlier than expected." ”

"I see!" Hu Guang nodded.

The city has long been prepared for defense, so it doesn't matter if the prisoners are not in advance. Whether it was Man Gui or Hu Guang, they didn't panic about it.

At this time, the fire had just been burned for cooking, and there was still a lot of time before Jianyu went to war, so Man Gui did not immediately advise the emperor to leave. He took the telescope with both hands, followed Hu Guang's example, and took it to his eyes.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was startled when I saw it, and then turned my head to look at Hu Guangdao with a surprised face: "Your Majesty, what is this, it is so magical?" ”

At that time, the telescope was indeed a magical thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty, so much so that the Westerners took this tribute to the emperor and wrote "Wangjing Said" to make a name for themselves.

But for future generations, as long as they have gone to middle school, the principle of this thing will definitely be clear, so Hu Guang said nonchalantly: "It's not magical, it's just the principle of using a convex lens." The magnification of this telescope is not high, and it can't see far enough, so I will go back and have some of it made and distribute it to the army! ”

Man Gui's eyes widened when he heard this, first with a look of surprise, and then all turned into admiration, and said happily: "This is really good, Your Majesty is really a god!" ”

He, a straight martial artist, rarely slaps the emperor's sycophants in person, which shows that he really cares about this telescope.

Li Fengxiang, Gao Shiyue and others heard it, this is worth it, you are all sycophants, how can we lag behind, and hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, you are really a god!" The slave and maid admired it so much! ”

The corners of Hu Guang's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, what's the big deal? He suddenly remembered something, so he asked Man Gui: "Man Qing, are you illiterate?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Man Gui suddenly became a little embarrassed, he involuntarily reached out and wanted to scratch the back of his head, but found that he was wearing a helmet on his head, so he put down his hand again, and said a little embarrassedly: "Back to Your Majesty, the last general has been fighting all the time, and he has no chance to read and write!" ”

Man Gui is not from a family, he has worked all the way from a small soldier to his current official position, and it is actually reasonable that he is illiterate. In fact, not only him, many military generals in the late Ming Dynasty, except for those from families, such as Wu Sangui, were generally illiterate.

Hu Guang listened to it and groaned slightly: "What Man Qing said is not right, as long as you really want to learn, there is still time to read and write." If Qing's ability wants to go further, reading and literacy is inevitable, since you don't have to worry about it, I will arrange it for you later. ”

"......" Man Gui was speechless, at his age, he still wants to read and write? However, he could hear that the emperor was sincere for his own good, so he immediately thanked him.

"Okay, I won't delay you in commanding the battle." After Hu Guang turned his head to look outside the city, he turned back to Man Gui and said, "As before, I am on the arrow tower on the inner wall, watching the soldiers kill the enemy and cheer for the soldiers!" ”

When Man Gui heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if there is an artillery or a large trebuchet in Jianyu, please also pay attention to the dragon body, and the arrow tower on the inner wall is not safe!" ”

"I don't need to say that, I know." After Hu Guang finished speaking, he drove the arrow tower on the inner wall.

After sending Hu Guang away, Man Gui immediately issued an order, Jianyu was about to attack, the emperor watched from the arrow tower on the inner wall, and personally beat the drum to cheer, if anyone dared to snub the military situation, he would be severely punished!

As soon as they heard this military order, the soldiers who were originally high in morale were all excited. Just imagine, since all dynasties, there has been such an army that will have such treatment, and the emperor can personally beat the drum and cheer!

On the arrow tower of the inner wall, the war drums were found and placed, and the eunuchs with long arms and waists stood there with drumsticks in their hands, waiting for the war to be together.

What, Hu Guang didn't take a drumstick? This is whether the emperor is good or not, the eunuch beats the drum, and the emperor watches from the side, this is the emperor himself beating the drum and cheering!

At this time, Hu Guang consciously entered the chat group and saw that Liu Wang had a message, so he clicked on it to listen.

"Pudu sentient beings, there has been a fight on the head of the city, and the west and south sides of the city wall are all built, which is at least twice as many as the previous times."

"Pudu sentient beings, the county lord has issued an order, so that women and other women who have a little strength have to carry the wounded and bandage them."

Just these two messages, about half an hour ago, left a message, and then there was no more, obviously, it should be the fierce battle in Changli, Liu Wang's family has no care about leaving a message, and has been busy.
