In the land of Yueyang, when Shi Lei and Azig each led the army in the inspiring battle, the Henan army led by Li Yan was not idle in Wuchang Mansion, and unlike the Yueyang battlefield, the main goal on the Yueyang battlefield was to kill the Manchu soldiers, but the goal of the Wuchang battle was very clear, that is, to take Wuchang Mansion as soon as possible to interrupt the connection between the Azig army and the land south of the Yangtze River, so as to surround the Manchu army in the land of Yueyang in disguise and catch turtles in the urn.

Therefore, Li Yan in Wuchang Mansion is under more pressure than Shi Lei, but even so, Li Yan did not rashly attack, you know, the land of Wuchang was originally located at the confluence of the Jianghan River, convenient water transportation, and has the reputation of "the thoroughfare of nine provinces", with the increasing development of the south, especially since the Song Gaozong crossed to the south, the position is more important, and it has become a strategic place to protect the south, second only to the land of Xiangyang, and later overthrew the Manchu Dynasty. The Wuchang Uprising was launched here, and it was precisely because of the importance of the land of Wuchang that the Manchu Qing Dynasty quickly collapsed after the loss of Huguang, and finally was completely overthrown.

If it's just that, there's nothing, more importantly, Wuchang was called 'the city of a hundred lakes' in later generations, which shows how difficult the terrain here is, especially, now it's Wu Sangui who is defending Wuchang Mansion or Wu Sangui, who has rich defensive experience, very skillfully makes full use of the favorable terrain of the entire Wuchang Mansion, forming a series of very favorable defenses, so that the Ming army suffers enough.

"When dangdang, when dangdang" autumn, although the weather is relatively cool, but in the afternoon, the sun is still very scorching, but even so, the Ming army still wears thick armor to attack Wuchang City, but unfortunately, in the face of the difficult terrain, with the Qing army's strict defense, the Ming army can only helplessly return with a feather, and this sound of Mingjin is the order to retreat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen the situation in the past few days, if it goes on like this, let alone take Wuchang Mansion as soon as possible, I am afraid that by the time we are exhausted, this Wuchang Mansion will still stand intact in front of us, when the time comes, it is a trivial matter for us to lose people, if we break the plan of the adults, thus affecting the mission of this army, we are afraid that it will be too late even if we all commit suicide and apologize, so we will discuss it today and strive to come up with a reasonable plan." Looking at the soldiers who slowly retreated, Li Yan, who had been watching the battle behind, said to the many generals around him with a sad face.

"Dudu, in my opinion, we don't have to care so much, directly press the whole army at once, I have also seen the defense of the Qing army, as long as we are ruthless and lose some soldiers, we will definitely be able to take them all, when the time comes, as long as we attack under the city wall, we will be able to do it, those cannons are not vegetarian, when the time comes, bombard him for several days and nights in a row, and directly collapse his city wall, and we will succeed." After listening to Li Yan's words, Tian Jianxiu on the side was the first to say anxiously.

"Nonsense, see Xiu, I originally thought that you went to the martial arts hall to study for a few months, and you could grow better than before, but how do you think about it, it is still the original Liukou's set, taking people's lives to fill up, this is the most taboo thing for Lord Shi, if we really do this, when the time comes, even if we take Wuchang Mansion, I am afraid that not only will there be no merit, but also punishment, the original court will not be used to us in the old department of the king, if it weren't for Lord Shi to protect us, I am afraid that we would have been assassinated by those tricky villains, Now we must give Lord Shi a long face and not make any mistakes, you know? After listening to Tian Jianxiu's words, Li Yan didn't speak, but Liu Zongmin on the side couldn't help but scold him angrily, Liu Zongmin is not only the oldest here, but also the highest, although he is now in the Shaanxi Imperial Court, he is just hanging an idle position, but in front of these old ministries of King Chuang, he is still very majestic.

So after he finished speaking, Tian Jianxiu immediately became honest, bowed his head and muttered, "Aren't I also in a hurry, you know, this time Lord Shi gave us an order to take Wuchang Mansion in the shortest possible time, cut off the connection between the Qing army and the land south of the Yangtze River, surround them, and annihilate them all, but if we don't take Wuchang Mansion quickly, if something goes wrong, this plan is not completed, and when the time comes, we will lose our adults." ”

"No matter what, we must not risk the lives of soldiers to achieve success, this is an iron law, none of us can disobey it, and now it seems that if we want to solve the defensive front laid by Wu Sangui, a traitor, it will take a lot of effort." Song Xiance on the side also interjected.

..........................

Just when Li Yan and the others were looking at the endless defensive front outside Wuchang City and their faces were full of melancholy, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui and the others above the city were full of joy on their faces.

"King Pingxi, it seems that the general really underestimated you, I didn't expect your defensive front to really work, you see that it has been four or five days, but the Ming army has advanced closely for a distance of less than two hundred zhang, with this speed, when they come to our city, I am afraid that the world has already been pacified by us, good, really good, so let's do it, as long as we can successfully defeat the Ming army this time, when the time comes, this general will definitely tell Prince Ying and the regent of your merits, and you will definitely be indispensable for promotion and wealth." While looking at the defensive front outside the city, Ao Bai said to Wu Sangui.

After hearing Aobai's words, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, for the current Wu Sangui, it can be said that it is the lowest point in his life, whether it was in the Ming Dynasty before, or later after taking refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he Wu Sangui is a famous figure, but after the battle of Henan, his backer, tens of thousands of Guanning iron cavalry suffered heavy losses, since then, he has changed from a big man who has attracted everyone's attention, into an inconspicuous little person, fortunately, because he is famous enough, the Manchu court still needs him to be a benchmark, In order to attract more local forces to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they did not do anything to him, nor did they let Hong Chengchou do anything to him, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been dead for a long time, not to mention those big men in the Manchu Dynasty, it was Hong Chengchou, and now he is also suppressed and extremely uncomfortable.

And now with Aobai's words, he can successfully take refuge in Aobai, although Aobai's current status in the Manchu court is not too high, but among the young Manchu generals, he is one of the few, the future growth space is still very large, as long as there is the support of Aobai in the future, he will no longer have to be afraid of Hong Chengchou, when the time comes, with confidence, he will be able to quickly recruit troops and expand his strength, when the time comes, it will not take long for him to be able to re-pull up the team that has been strong, when the time comes, Wu Sangui, who was once famous, will rise again on the land of China.

"Although the general can rest assured, this king's starry array, is not in vain, as long as there is no big accident, then the Ming army wants to break through him, without damaging tens of thousands of people, it is simply impossible to complete, but if the Ming army really sends out the whole army to attack it, then even if they can break this large array, but in the end their soldiers are also heavy losses, strength will definitely be greatly damaged, when the time comes, it will not be them who come to attack us, but we will go out of the city to annihilate them, if that is really the case, The general's credit is great. Wu Sangui suddenly said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, good, good, that's it, General Ben must avenge the hatred of the first battle of Tongguan and avenge those dead brothers." After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Ao Bai said with a laugh.

............................

"General, through these days of observation, the last general found that the Qing army's defensive front outside Wuchang City, although it looks very exquisite, but there is a huge flaw, that is, they complement each other, as long as we can break through a defensive line, the rest of the defensive line can be broken very easily, but what really makes us feel difficult is that the Qing army's defensive line is very closely connected, and when we want to attack one location, it can be supported by other locations at any time, which creates a dilemma for us. In addition, the terrain outside Wuchang City is complicated, which is not suitable for a large army to attack the city, so it is very difficult to break the defense of the Qing army now, unless they make their own mistakes, but it is not absolutely impossible, but that kind of probability is no less than the probability of their surrender. After Li Yan and the others returned to the big tent, one of the generals spoke.

In fact, the defensive front of the Qing army outside Wuchang City, that is, what Wu Sangui said about the starry array, that is, Wu Sangui according to the topography of Wuchang City with many water and lakes, and then let the Qing army connect various waterways, water networks, and lakes, and divide all places outside the city into pieces of waterways of different sizes, and then, build simple bunkers on top of these different sizes, so that these bunkers will successfully protect Wuchang City tightly, and more importantly, These bunkers are all connected to each other, that one bunker is attacked, and the bunker connected to him next to it will help him defend, and more importantly, if the Ming army wants to attack these bunkers, it will also pass through which dense water nets, so that when passing through the water net, there will definitely be flaws, so that the Qing army in the bunker will be shot, either injured, or directly killed.

Although Li Yan's side has a variety of more advanced weapons, whether it is a primitive rocket or a small but powerful siege crossbow, or a more powerful artillery, these things are not omnipotent, especially in this place where the water network is intertwined, the power of artillery cannot be exerted at all, and the primitive rocket and siege crossbow are both straight line attacks, which have little effect on the Qing army hiding behind the pillbox, which is what makes Li Yan and other Ming generals feel embarrassed.

"Could it be that we are just watching the enemy in front of us, and we have no way at all, and more importantly, if we can't take Wuchang City this time, we won't be able to complete the plan made by Lord Shi, and when the time comes, if we let the Manchu army escape, our intention to go south this time will be a complete failure, and next time, if we want to find such an opportunity, we don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey?" After hearing the words of this general, Tian Jianxiu suddenly shouted anxiously.

Hearing Tian Jianxiu's roar, Li Yan and the others next to him were also full of helplessness, although they were as anxious as Tian Jianxiu, but now they couldn't think of a suitable way at all, they didn't have any good way at all except for being anxious.

Just when everyone was racking their brains helplessly towards how to break the Qing army's defensive formation, they heard a small voice next to them say, "Actually, their defense is not really impossible to solve. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the person who spoke, and saw that the person who spoke was sitting at the back of the big tent, which was the most remote place in the whole big tent, which proved that the person who spoke was also the person with the lowest status in the big tent, of course, although his status here was low, but his actual official position was not low, you know, the generals who can sit here are all generals above the brigade commander, in the Ming Army in Shaanxi, a brigade commander can command more than 12,000 soldiers of senior officers.

"Hahaha, Shen Ping, talk about it quickly, Lao Tzu knows that your kid is silent all day long, and he must have a plan in his heart, speak quickly, let us all listen to it, if you don't say it earlier, I'm afraid we will be suffocated." It was the impatient Tian Mishu who spoke, and he called out the name of the person who spoke in one mouth.

Shen Ping can be regarded as the first group of people to follow Shi Lei, starting from Yulin City, among the first batch of soldiers recruited by Shi Lei, one of the best people, and over the years, Shen Ping and Yang Guoguang, the earliest people who followed Shi Lei, except for the war dead, the rest have been ascended to heaven, and the lowest one is now also a five-grade official, and Shen Ping and Yang Guoguang are outstanding people, the speed of progress is even faster.

Shen Ping is different from Yang Guoguang, Yang Guoguang was transferred to the Sichuan Army in order to pacify Sichuan after Li Dingguo entered Sichuan, and Shen Ping has been staying by Li Yan's side since his follower Li Yan entered Henan, learning the means of leading troops, and then through these years of hard work, he has finally been promoted to the position of brigade commander, and he is just in his twenties this year, which shows that his future prospects must be limitless.
