Darkness is coming, the white bird is returning to its nest, the sound of chirping is still echoing, gradually weakening, north of Huangcun, in the camp of Yang Lin's army, a fire is burning, hanging a kettle, or an iron pot, three or two soldiers are sitting around, a team of soldiers are patrolling, wandering between the various camps.

At this time, a soldier stood up, held an iron kettle in one hand, walked straight to the iron pot next to him, scooped out the soup from it, filled the entire iron kettle, and then returned to his seat, looked at the steaming soup, enjoyed the general sniffing, and then drank it all with satisfaction.

smashed his lips and said with emotion: "It's still the marshal's troops, not only can they eat and drink enough, they have money to eat, and beef soup to drink, even if they die, it's worth it, this army is not in vain!" ”

"Hehe, brother, it's good, I've been a soldier all my life, I've never seen beef, mother, the Tartars simply didn't treat us Han people as people, worked hard for them, were born and died, not only had a low status, but also often deducted food and salary, but fortunately, the marshal's army came, and we have a good life today." A soldier took a sip of the beef broth and echoed comfortably.

"Hey, brother, you came from over there, too?" The soldier who spoke first asked with a look of surprise and a look of deep disapproval.

As he spoke, the soldier lifted his buttocks, moved towards the man, made a gesture of intimacy, and asked, "By the way, where are you from?" ”

"Well, yes, I also defected from there, but it may be earlier than you, I am from Suzhou, when the marshal led the army to attack Jiangsu, I heard that the treatment of the rebel army was good, and it was a benevolent and righteous army, so I defected to the marshal's command."

"Ah, it turned out to be a senior, who was just thrown into the army for less than half a month, and was a native of Baoding Mansion in Zhili." Hearing this, the first soldier immediately became respectful, said again and again, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly asked: "By the way, senior, our camp is so big, the marshal is in the camp, except for the guard in front of the camp, why is there no one patrolling outside the camp?" If the Qing army sneaks up on our camp at night, wouldn't it be bad? ”

At this moment, when the veteran didn't know how to answer this question, one of the original soldiers of the Qilin Army said loudly: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that you have not been in the army for a long time, and you don't know anything about some of our weapons, like the old men of the Kongtong Army, the Qilin Army, and the Thunder Army, we all know that we have a weapon called a mine, which can be buried in the soil, and as long as someone steps on it, it will explode." ”

While speaking, the veteran covered the hot iron kettle, looked at the surrounding night, glanced beyond the fence around the camp, and continued in a proud tone: "Just outside the camp, near the fence, a large number of mines have been buried there a long time ago, and a minefield has been arranged. ”

"Oh... I said how could the army be stationed here so reassuringly and not send a single unit to patrol. The first soldier showed a stunned look, then took out something from his waist, spun it in the air, pointed to it with the other hand and asked, "Hey, by the way, veteran, are the mines you said look like this grenade?" ”

"Hmm... It's pretty much the same, it's somewhat similar in principle, however, the mines are all round, they are about the same, the grenade has to pull out the lead and throw it, while the mine is covered with floating earth, and as soon as the enemy steps on it and walks over, it will explode. The veteran explained.

......

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the candlelight flickered, and the dim and dim light filled every corner, Yang Lin and the commanders gathered here, sitting there, and the dim light shone on the faces of these people, making them even more resolute.

At this time, Yang Lin glanced at everyone one by one, and said calmly and calmly: "Everyone, Commander Chao, Commander Huo, and Staff Officer Zhuge have successively conquered the Fengtai Battalion, the Xishan Jianrui Battalion and the Tongzhou Battalion, and now they are stationed in the northwest and east directions of the Beijing Division, and now, it is time for us to start acting." ”

Although they had expected it for a long time, the generals still couldn't hide the excitement of the imminent war, and their faces were ruddy for a while, faintly excited, and immediately one of the generals asked: "Then marshal, when are we going to act?" Attack the Kyoshi, attack the outer city of the Kyoshi. ”

This sentence asked everyone's thoughts, obviously, although Yang Lin's expression was calm and calm, but his mood was really good, after all, it was only a matter of time before the Qing court was overthrown, so he didn't blame the general for his sudden interruption, but replied: "Hmm... If there is no accident, the day after tomorrow will launch an offensive at the latest, attacking the outer city of the Beijing Division. ”

"Anyway, our three major forces have just gone through a big battle, with a lot of casualties and need to be repaired for a few days, and our action is to feint and cooperate with them to attack the inner city."

At this time, Bailihe, who was sitting on one side, also said: "Yes, although the actions of the three major troops are very smooth, but the most difficult bones are still behind, the city is heavily defended, the city has many soldiers, and the Qing court has long been prepared, not only a large number of red-coated cannons are arranged on the city wall, but also giant crossbows are placed everywhere for air defense and threaten our airship troops to approach." ”

"Therefore, before attacking the Jingshi, we must make all preparations, have sufficient food and grass, replenish ammunition, and restore the strength of the soldiers and troops to meet the upcoming battle in the best condition."

As the head of the intelligence department and the deputy hall master of the Deaf and Dumb Hall, Qu Kun was not idle, and said: "Taking advantage of the past few days, I am contacting our internal response, hoping to find out the situation of the Beijing Division, the deployment of the city, if we can contact them and get the city defense map, our next attack on the Beijing Division will get twice the result with half the effort, make corresponding troop deployment, and attack the weak place of the Qing army's city defense." ”

Everyone is nodding, agreeing with Bailihe and Qu Kun's words, although the generals present are bloodthirsty and warlike, they are not reckless, and they know the truth of knowing themselves and their opponents.

Immediately, Yang Lin didn't say much, and said directly: "Okay, since that's the case, now I'll assign tasks and arrange specific actions." ”

Immediately, with a hula, everyone stood up, and Yang Lin turned sideways, and while pointing at the hanging map of the Beijing Division, he began to issue a series of generals: "Xue Kaiqi, Guo San, monkey, out of the ranks." ”

"Yes, marshal, the last general, listen to your command!" The three of them answered in unison.

"Xue Kaiqi, you lead an army of 30,000 to set off immediately, stationed in the west of the outer city of the Beijing Division, and are responsible for attacking Guang'anmen!"

"Yes, Marshal, the last general will take the order!" Xue Kaiqi's body immediately tensed, and while saluting, he shouted loudly.

"Guo San, you lead an army of 40,000 to set off immediately, stationed in the east of the outer city of the Beijing Division, and are responsible for attacking Guangqumen."

"Yes, Marshal, the last general will take the order!" Guo San responded in the same way, tensing his body while saluting.

"Monkey, you lead an army of 30,000 to set off immediately, stationed in the southeast of the outer city of the Beijing Division, and are responsible for taking Zuo'anmen."

"Yes, Marshal, the last general obeys orders!" The monkey responded.

At this time, Yang Lin paused, his throat squirmed slightly, swallowed his saliva, moistened his throat, and then continued: "And You'anmen and Yongdingmen, I will lead an army of 50,000 to attack. ”

Speaking of this, when he saw that everyone was about to oppose it, Yang Lin said loudly: "Remember, our actions are really a false attack, creating a false appearance, so as to attract the main force of the Qing army, gather in the outer city, and create a good opportunity for Huo Xiong, Chao Sheng and Zhuge to plot for them, and take three of the other six gates of the inner city in one fell swoop." ”

"As long as the three-way army captures any gate of the inner city, the overall situation will be settled, and the defensive momentum of the Qing army will be completely collapsed."
