Dolgon was waiting for reinforcements with tens of thousands of people in Panjin City, more than a hundred miles away, and Zhang Feng was also waiting for reinforcements, waiting for the arrival of the Second and Third Infantry Brigades. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now, Zhang Feng has two brigades, about 10,000 people, and Dolgon's tens of thousands, the first few times, Zhang Feng can achieve a big victory, a big reason is that Dolgon does not know enough about himself, as the number of battles between the two sides increases, Dolgon will know more and more about himself, and the battle will become more and more difficult to fight.

With 10,000 of his own, tens of thousands of opponents, or maybe more than 100,000 (because Dolgon is waiting for reinforcements), and facing several times, or even ten times his own Tartars, Zhang Feng was not arrogant enough to win for himself.

This time, Zhang Feng's purpose was to train the troops, not to annihilate the Tartars as the main purpose, the Tartars stayed in the Panjin area, and Zhang Feng also camped in this market town, preparing to settle down in this area.

The two armies confronted each other, and neither was busy attacking the other.

Zhang Feng was waiting for the arrival of the other two brigades, and Dolgon was preparing food and grass, preparing soldiers and horses, so that there would be no fighting for the time being.

Even in Liaodong, because it is already spring, the weather is gradually warmer, the ice and snow melt, showing a bit of greenery everywhere, if it is Jiangnan, this time has already bloomed in spring, a scene of late spring.

Outside the market town, a vast, typical plain terrain, and some wasteland have become temporary training grounds for soldiers, and many battalions and companies go out for training every day.

On the ninth day of the third lunar month, the second infantry brigade arrived in Liaodong and was stationed in Shuangjiangji, and on the 25th day of the third lunar month, the third infantry brigade arrived in Liaodong and was stationed in Huangjia Town.

At this point, Zhang Feng's four brigades all arrived in Liaodong, except for some of the ports and wharves, the rest of the brigades and regiments were stationed in the above three market towns, each of which was only a few miles apart, forming horns from each other.

The reconnaissance work on the Tartars has never stopped, after the defeat of Dolgon, it has been more than a month since the retreat to the Panjin area, and the number of Tartars in the Panjin area is approaching 100,000, in addition to the Manchu Tartars, there are many Mongolian Tartars, as well as some soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Zhang Feng wanted to go through actual combat training, and Dolgon wanted to take revenge, and now, the two sides had gathered strength and prepared for a big battle.

Today, Zhang Feng went to inspect the military camp outside the town, and also fired a few shots at the shooting range outside the town, and at noon, accompanied by Wang Chaoyong and others, he returned to the headquarters in the town.

At the intersection of entering the town, a person who looked like a person from Fang Dao walked over, walked up to Zhang Feng and said, "This is Mr. Zhang?" ”

Zhang Feng stopped and said, "I am Zhang Feng." ”

At the same time, Zhang Feng looked at the other party and said in his heart, is this a fortune teller? Not like. Is it a traveling doctor? Not like that. Zhang Feng's mind was questioned.

However, there is one thing that makes Zhang Feng feel slightly strange, the other party looks about fifty or sixty years old, but he is very energetic, his eyes are bright and clear, although his clothes are a little old, they are clean, and his face is ruddy and his body is thin.

This person felt Zhang Feng's scrutinizing gaze, without a little panic, smiling, and very calm.

This is certainly not the average person!

"Mr. Zhang, it's presumptuous." The person who came introduced himself: "Old Meng Mingzhao, the person from the traveling party, Zhang Zongbing, can it be convenient to speak further." ”

Wang Chaoyong glanced at it worriedly, and was about to say something, Zhang Feng naturally knew what Wang Chaoyong meant, Wang Chaoyong was worried about Zhang Feng's safety, because Meng Mingzhao was not an ordinary person at first glance, in case it was sent by the Tartars, in case it was not good for Zhang Feng......

Zhang Feng waved his hand slightly, signaling Wang Chaoyong not to worry, Zhang Feng said briskly: "No problem, let's go to the town, to my headquarters." ”

Headquarters, back hall.

Zhang Feng beckoned Meng Mingzhao to sit down, the orderly served hot tea, Zhang Feng and Meng Mingzhao chatted, while Wang Chaoyong was a little uneasy, standing outside the lobby in person, and also prepared more than a dozen guards on standby, as soon as something was wrong, he would rush in immediately.

Zhang Feng seemed very casual and talked about a lot of topics, when Zhang Feng asked about Meng Mingzhao's own situation, Meng Mingzhao replied like this.

Meng Mingzhao said: "Lord General Soldier, old night stargazing, calculated that the Ming Dynasty will run out, there will be a new master to replace it, recently calculated, found that the new master is in Liaodong, the villain took the liberty to come, the villain judged, Zhang Zongbing is the new master in the future." ”

Zhang Feng saw that what Meng Mingzhao said was mysterious, of course he didn't believe it, Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Meng Mingzhao, I am the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, you explain in front of me that the vitality is about to run out, are you not afraid that your head will fall to the ground?" ”

Meng Mingzhao smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I believe you won't want my head." ”

Zhang Feng naturally didn't want Meng Mingzhao's head, Zhang Feng knew history well and knew that the Ming Dynasty would fall in a few years, Zhang Feng was strange, if this Meng Mingzhao didn't brag, he could calculate that the Ming Dynasty was close by calculation, it would be very powerful.

Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Meng Mingzhao, how do you know that I am the new master, not the Manchu Qing, and the Manchu Qing are also in Liaodong." ”

Meng Mingzhao said: "Mr. Zhang, the villain believes in his own ability. ”

Seeing that Meng Mingzhao was so confident, Zhang Feng also became interested, and chatted with Meng Mingzhao in this back hall for at least half an hour.

Meng Mingzhao is not only proficient in mathematics, but also proficient in the art of war, martial arts and medical skills, is an all-round talent, Zhang Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and thought in his heart, could it be that his own Wang Ba Qi was released, and a capable person took the initiative to vote.

Now, the title between the two has also changed, Zhang Feng called Meng Mingzhao "Old Meng", and Meng Mingzhao called Zhang Feng "Gongzi", which has the meaning of assisting Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng was ready to take the test for Meng Mingzhao, so Zhang Feng said: "Old Meng, you can calculate the weather conditions in the next few days." ”

Zhang Feng has watched a lot of film and television works in later generations, and knows that Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and others have such skills, and can accurately calculate when the southeast wind will start, when there will be thunder and lightning, etc.

Meng Mingzhao seemed to know that Zhang Feng was comparing himself, smiled slightly, stretched out a hand, calculated it a little, and after a little calculation, Meng Mingzhao said.

"Childe, the old man calculated, it will gradually clear up in the afternoon, one has five sunny days, the sixth day begins to change the sky, the seventh day begins to rain heavily, the rainy weather lasts for four days, and then begins to clear."

Zhang Feng was slightly surprised, and didn't think about it, Meng Mingzhao calculated so specifically, which day it rained, which day it was sunny, please be clear, even the weather forecast in later generations was not so accurate, not to mention that Meng Mingzhao also calculated it to more than ten days later.

Intuition told Zhang Feng that Meng Mingzhao might be that kind of cattle man, and he estimated that he had picked up a treasure, so Zhang Feng left Meng Mingzhao as his military advisor, that is, a think tank-type person.

When there was no one, Wang Chaoyong was complaining, "Lord General Soldier, this Meng Mingzhao is too mysterious, I think he is bragging, saying that the sky will be sunny in the afternoon, I don't think it will be, now that the sky is so gloomy, I think it will definitely rain in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Master Wang, just take a look." ”

Sure enough, the sky was still gloomy in the morning, but after noon, the sky gradually changed, and gradually became clearer, and later, the sun was revealed.

In this way, Zhang Feng believed in Meng Mingzhao even more, thinking that Meng Mingzhao said that it was sunny for five consecutive days, the sixth day was changing, the seventh day was raining, and it was a rainy day for four consecutive days, so Zhang Feng had to prepare.

Rainy days definitely have an impact on gunpowder, as well as the shooting of muskets.

………..

Panjin City.

After more than a month, Dolgon was well prepared, with plenty of food and grass, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and many ideas for the opponent's musket.

Dolgon didn't know enough about Zhang Feng's opponent before, but after several encounters, Dolgon gradually got to know Zhang Feng, and gradually got to know Zhang Feng's musket and artillery.

"Those damn old stubborns."

Dolgon even thought so indignantly, as he learned more about Zhang Feng and the deeper his understanding of multiple guns and artillery, Dolgon understood more and more the horror of these things, and the idea of developing firearms in his heart became stronger and stronger.

However, the current Dolgon is not yet the regent, and the Manchu Qing is not Dolgon's sole decision, and there are many opposition voices in the Manchu high-level, most of whom oppose the development of firearms, insisting that the development of Manchu iron cavalry is the king's way.

In particular, the firearms battalion that Dolgon had worked so hard to develop had been almost wiped out a month earlier, and there was even more opposition.

However, Dolgon was temporarily unable to develop firearms, and could only use cold weapons, cavalry, heavy armor, archers, and so on.

"Master, everything is ready, you can go."

Hearing the report, Dolgon thought in his heart, this time he must win, he must defeat Zhang Feng, so Dolgon waved his big hand and said, "Start early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!"

The next day, a huge Manchu army set out from the Panjin area and marched in the direction of Jinzhou, which not only included cavalry, but also heavy armor, in addition, chariots, heavy cavalry, and so on.

There are even a lot of strange things, which were thought up by Dorgon and others, and these things are the muskets used against Zhang Feng.

Panjin to Jinzhou, about two hundred miles, if all the cavalry, you can get there in one day, but if there are heavy armor soldiers, the speed is much slower.

Nearly 100,000 people, very large, on the road, the Tartar army stretched so far in sight. Of course, the movements of the Tartars naturally cannot be concealed from Zhang Feng.

With such a big goal, Dolgon also knew that Zhang Feng would know it, and he did not hide it, and moved along the avenue.

Two days later.

Dolgon had nearly 100,000 men, only more than ten miles away from Zhang Feng's position, and in this position, the Tartars stopped and prepared for the attack.

"Master, you see, the sky is starting to change today, and it is estimated that there will be heavy rain."

Dolgon looked at the sky and said happily: "The heavy rain is good, the heavy rain is good, as long as it rains heavily, Zhang Feng's musket will become a burning stick, and then it will become our world." ”

Dorgon knew that in heavy rains, muskets were largely impossible to fire, while his own cavalry, archers, heavy armor, and so on were almost unaffected.
