In the sixth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, the nineteenth day of the first month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Early in the morning, before dawn, Li Yuanqing led the army to assemble outside the east gate of Ningyuan City, preparing to start entering the city.

Because a compromise had been reached with Inspector Yuan last night, Ningyuan's defenders did not make too many difficulties for the sons and daughters of the Changsheng Battalion, but were busy and quite hard.

Originally, Li Yuanqing thought that this was Inspector Yuan greeting the guards in advance, but as soon as he saw Wu Xiang, the guard of the East Gate, the two chatted carefully, and Li Yuanqing understood the outline.

Inspector Yuan has always been very wary of him, and it is the station of the Immortal Camp, which is also close to the east gate.

But according to the topography of Ningyuan City, if you think about it with your buttocks, you can also understand that the terrain outside the east gate is narrow, and it is adjacent to the sea, so it is impossible to use it as the main battlefield, and even the sub-battlefield may not be able to be used.

Wu Xiang also noticed that Li Yuanqing's expression was not very pleasant, and hurriedly explained: "Li Shuai, Ningyuan City is not as good as other places, inside and out, it is soaked in Lord Yuan's hard work. Therefore, in terms of defense, Lord Yuan may be a little harsh. But at this time, the enemy is at present, and there is no reason why Lord Yuan is not like this! ”

Wu Xiang, as Lord Yuan's 'doorman', can talk about this at this time, which is already quite good.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "Brother Wu, Yuanqing admires Lord Yuan's majesty and strategy. In this battle, a certain one brought eyes and ears. ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing understood the general trend so clearly, Wu Xiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai's wisdom is admired by his humble position." Li Shuai, at this time, the war is coming, and the dog is also gearing up, at that time, please ask Li Shuai to give the dog a guide or two! ”

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Uncle Chang, this kid, I like it very much." When the camp is settled, let him come to see me!" ”

Wu Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "With Li Shuai sitting here, Ningyuan City will sit back and relax." ”

…………

With the help of Wu Xiang, the head snake in the field, the camping and settling down after the Changsheng Camp entered the city became much smoother.

However, although the east gate is Wu Xiang's defense area, in this area, Wu Xiang has only one guerrilla rank of 1,000 general guards under his command, and the main defense regulations of Ningyuan City are still at the north gate and the west gate, which is also the direction in which the main force of the Later Jin is most likely to attack.

The station of the Changsheng Camp is a small school yard that is less than 1,000 general regulations, covering an area of about four or five acres, and the housing site is complete, but it is still a little stretched to accommodate these 7,500 people.

Fortunately, Ningyuan is a pure military city, adjacent to the city gate and city wall, the streets are very wide, and there is a lot of open space reserved in advance.

However, although the grain and grass were brought by the Changsheng Battalion, in terms of charcoal, it was to be allocated by Inspector Yuan.

Li Yuanqing thought that he would have to go to Inspector Yuan's side again to spend some words, but it didn't take much effort, Wu Xiang had already brought dozens of truckloads of charcoal, plus the reservation in the original camp, it was enough for the sons and daughters of the Changsheng camp to cope with it for more than ten days.

As soon as he settled here, Wu Sangui, who was dressed in a personal soldier uniform, quietly came to the camp to 'report'.

"Little nephew Wu Sangui, I have seen Uncle Li Shi, Uncle Li Shishu is in good health and has a bright future."

After not seeing him for many days, Wu Sangui has grown a lot taller, faintly, and can already reach Li Yuanqing's nose.

His body is also a lot stronger, between his eyebrows, although he is still a little immature, but his eyes are firm, and the arrogant temperament of the noble children is undoubtedly displayed, full of young and upward vitality.

According to Huaxia's imaginary age, this kid is fifteen years old this year, which can be regarded as a young man.

"Uncle, you're here. Not bad. Very good! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Wu Sangui's shoulder and motioned for him to sit aside.

Wu Sangui respectfully saluted Li Yuanqing: "Uncle Shi traveled thousands of miles, and he was able to come to Ningyuan City to rescue, and the eldest uncle is grateful." The eldest uncle treats Ningyuan's 100,000 fathers and elders, and thanks to Uncle Shi's righteousness. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, you kid is very good." I've really grown up! I accept your gratitude. Come, sit down. ”

"Yes. Thank you, Uncle Shi. ”

After the formal process was completed, Wu Sangui regained some of his childish temperament and sat on the stool next to him with a smile.

On this occasion, Xiaolian and the others all went inside to clean up the house, so naturally they would not be easily exposed.

Tea was served by the soldiers, Li Yuanqing took a sip of tea with a smile, looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Uncle, what do you think about the old slave personally leading the army to invade my hinterland in western Liaoning?" ”

With Li Yuanqing's identity at this time, he and a teenage hairy child actually want to talk about military affairs, and if they spread it, they may become the laughing stock of others.

But at this time, the hairy child in front of him is the famous Wu Sangui, and Li Yuanqing also wants to take the school examination to test him, to see what is different from ordinary people about this Jiangmen Huzi who was born with a golden spoon!

Wu Sangui seemed to have been prepared, and respectfully bowed his hand to Li Yuanqing, and then said: "Uncle Shi, look at it as a little nephew." Although Jiannu is menacing, it may not be able to achieve the climate. ”

Wu Sangui said, looking at Li Yuanqing's eyes respectfully but fearlessly.

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly and became interested, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Li Yuanqing's interest was mentioned smoothly, Wu Sangui also came to the spirit, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew looked at Shenyang and Liaoyang, including the later Battle of Guangning, one of the big reasons why Jiannu was able to take down these fortified cities of my Ming Dynasty was because of internal thieves. This is true in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning. But Ning Yuan ------"

Wu Sangui paused for a moment, and said with a confident smile: "Uncle Shi, although Ningyuan City has not been established for a long time, only less than three years, but its city is strong, the walls are high, the army and the people are united, and the materials are abundant, which is far from being comparable to the above-mentioned cities. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, but said: "The old slave has an army of more than 100,000 people, all of whom are the elite of the Eight Banners, just based on what you said, I'm afraid it's far from enough!" ”

Wu Sangui smiled, "Uncle Shi, having said that, ~~, on the battlefield, it is not who is strong, who will definitely win." At this time, although our army is small, but it is united, just like when the old slave defeated my Ming in Salhu, until the last moment, who can tell the final outcome? ”

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few years, you really impress me!" Very good! That's great! However, you must know that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books! The art of war and the situation are of course important. But ~~, it is the sons and daughters under his command who really implement it! Therefore, even if you have formulated a thorough strategy, you can't be sloppy in terms of implementation! ”

…………

chatted with Wu Sangui for more than an hour, and had lunch together, and Li Yuanqing's mood was also brought up by his youthful vitality.

In the afternoon, Man Gui's personal soldiers came over and invited Li Yuanqing to inspect his military camp together.

Li Yuanqing thought about it for a while, and then brought Wu Sangui with him.

To a large extent, Wu Sangui is indeed a sinner of the Chinese nation, but there are really too many entanglements.

But at this time, Wu Sangui was still a child, and he could be regarded as a blank sheet of paper.

For Guan Ning's door, Li Yuanqing obviously couldn't interfere too much, but Wu Sangui at this time was like a 'small door', giving Li Yuanqing a chance to 'reach in'.

Wu Sangui is naturally overjoyed.

Although he is a powerful son in the Guanning army, it is a pity that Man Gui and these generals can't easily urinate in a pot. But at this time, for some reason, Man Gui was the highest military system in Ningyuan City at this time, two levels higher than his son Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang was only a general of the Chinese army, but at this time, Man Gui was the deputy chief soldier of Ning Yuan.

Wu Sangui also really wanted to see what kind of military appearance Man Gui was.

After a brief tidying up, the group came to the camp of Mangui in the north of the city.

Man Gui had been waiting here for a long time, and after greeting him, he directly led Li Yuanqing and his party to the head of Beicheng to inspect his defense in this section.

At this time, on the Ningyuan side, although there is no accurate information about the main force of the Houjin Army, the Houjin sentinels who roam from time to time have often appeared around Ningyuan City, and the defense level of Ningyuan City has basically been raised to the highest state.

It was Inspector Yuan himself, who spent most of the day basically sitting and patrolling in various defense areas on the head of the city.

At the head of the city, the soldiers have long been waiting for them solemnly, and many people, under the call of the officers, are constantly carrying various strategic materials back and forth towards the city.

Li Yuanqing glanced at it, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.

Inspector Yuan said 1,000 and 10,000, in terms of specifications and lineup, it is still the most traditional defensive strategy of the Ming army, and there is basically no innovation to be found.

The only thing to be thankful for is that his patrols are indeed very strict, and each small section of the city wall is supervised by a full-time civil official.

If it is different from the tradition, the biggest difference is that in the middle of the city, the red-coated cannons are firmly covered under the red cloth.

Wu Sangui was obviously also very interested in this red-clothed cannon, but even for Man Gui, this treasure was a forbidden area, and the group obviously had no qualifications to explore it.

Fortunately, although Wu Sangui is young, his self-control ability is quite good, and he did not cause trouble to Li Yuanqing and Man Gui, and followed the two obediently, only looking at ~~, and never talking much.

After a general lap on the city wall, the group came to the northwest side of the city wall under a hanging household to take shelter, Man Gui said with a smile: "Yuanqing, how do you feel?" Brother, this defense is still in place, right? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, tightened the deerskin hat on his head a little tighter, avoided the cold north wind coming from his head, and said with a smile: "Brother Gui, the defense is already good. But the key is to keep it, we must connect the dots into a line, to ensure that we can quickly make up for the problem at the first time! ”

Although Li Yuanqing was not the main general on this trip, he had cooperated with Li Yuanqing in Dajianshan before, and Man Gui had already deeply understood Li Yuanqing's strength.

Therefore, Man Gui also attached great importance to Li Yuanqing's suggestion, and nodded busily: "Yuanqing, you can rest assured of this, I will learn from the patrol strategy of the Changsheng Battalion, and the night patrol soldiers will work in three shifts, and strive to never have flaws." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, but he left the hanging house, faced the cold north wind, came to the wall, drilled to the battlement, and investigated the scene under the city.

At this time, it is the middle of the first month, the second half of the bitterest part of the cold winter, although there is no snow these days, but the wind is like a knife, blowing on people, it is like taking a knife to cut meat, making it almost difficult for people to open their eyes.

Li Yuanqing held on for a minute or two, then couldn't hold back anymore and quickly retreated.

At this time, the wide moat under the city has long been frozen solid, and the ground is afraid that it will be frozen into a ball.

Although Inspector Yuan performed well in all aspects, it was a pity that he was still too tender.

He didn't understand the true meaning of defense.

Especially against the post-war Jin Army.

After many battles with the Houjin army, Li Yuanqing already had practical experience.

If you want to guard against the offensive of the Houjin army and maximize the power of the red-coated cannon, the defense of the city is secondary, and the most important thing is to work hard under the city.

Dig more ravines and traps, such as horses, thistles, and even crumbs such as clay pot fragments, the more the better.

Only by limiting the speed of the Houjin army to bulldoze and fill the ditch to the greatest extent can the power of the red-coated cannon be brought into full play and the advantage of the Ming army can be brought into play.

Fortunately, although Inspector Yuan did not work hard in the city, the weather was freezing at this time, and the weather conditions were extremely bad, so even if the Houjin army wanted to bulldoze and fill the ditch, it must have to pay a lot of energy.

Li Yuanqing also had to sigh, 'The times create heroes', Inspector Yuan's luck is really not to say!

At this time, Man Guigang wanted to ask Li Yuanqing what he was looking at at the battlement, but behind him, a personal soldier quickly came over to report: "Lord Yuan is here!" ”
