Wang Dou said: "The slaves and thieves are well defended, are we going to attack their dangerous places and be led by their noses?" ”

"Besides, if we capture Loess Ridge, our army can also threaten Shishanmen and Rufeng Mountain from the side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And the army is stationed in the Loess Ridge, so it will be much more convenient to get water from the Xiaoling River for drinking in the future. My army of more than 100,000 people, relying only on some wells, can not solve the problem of drinking water. ”

Wang Pu echoed: "Yes, yes, we can't be led by the nose by the Tartars." The heavy troops of the Tartars are deployed in Rufeng Mountain, this is a measure to block the danger, and we cannot fall for them. ”

Everyone was stunned, is there such a plan? But he was excited when he heard Wang Pu say: "There is also this drinking water problem, which is the same as grain and grass, which is a key." On the edge of this Songshan Fort, there is a lack of rivers, my hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed here, there are only a few wells, and the soldiers can only use a little water a day, and they don't have to think about washing the water, even if they drink water, it is also a little bit. ”

He stretched out his little finger and gestured a little bit: "This scorching sun, be careful of the epidemic." ”

Many people in the hall responded, and they felt that the army was camped, and there was indeed a lack of water, and there were many complainants in the army. Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion, also agreed, and said: "Yo, Uncle Zhong Yong and General Wang are right, this water is really important, so it is certain to occupy the Loess Ridge first." Wang Pu nodded to Fu Yingchong and continued to say excitedly: "There is another sentence, it is called lying on the side, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?" This is what Song Gaozu said, and it is definitely not wrong. Not far from the southeast of our Songshan Fort, is Songshan Ridge, and now the Tartar soldiers are stationed there, can our Ming officers and soldiers allow them to wander under our noses? It must be destroyed first. ”

Everyone was talking loudly, hundreds of officials and generals gathered together, and every word you said to me seemed to be arguing into a pot of porridge. In this situation, Hong Chengchou still looked kind, and the prison guard Zhang Ruoqi frowned, but he didn't say anything.

But seeing that Wu Sangui ignored Wang Pu and smiled at Wang Dou: "Sangui has a sentence to ask Uncle Zhongyong, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Wang Dou smiled and said, "Elder brother, please speak, Dou listens." ”

Wang Pu saw Wu Sangui throwing himself aside, his face became ugly, he snorted coldly, picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.

Wu Sangui said: "Fang Cai is loyal and brave, after capturing the Loess Ridge, he can threaten Shishanmen and Rufeng Mountain from the side? According to the information found by General Mo, there are also heavy soldiers of slaves and thieves stationed on the side of Xishimen. Now that the city of Milk Dumplings is also occupied by the slave chiefs, it is not so easy to attack the mountain. ”

Wang Dou said: "Brother Elder Brother is right, but relatively speaking, the main force of the thief mountain is concentrated on the main road to Jinzhou in the west of Rufeng Mountain. There are fewer troops on the West Shimen side and the mountain is gentle, which is conducive to the large army attacking the mountain. If you attack Xishimen, you can go down the mountains and hills to the daughter river, threatening the army of thieves besieging the south of Jinzhou. ”

"The lesser of two evils! Strategically speaking, after capturing the Loess Ridge, our division will have more ways to operate. You can cross the Xiaoling River in the east, attack Shimen Mountain in the west, and walk freely without being led by the nose of the Tartars. ”

Wu Sangui was speechless, Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed, and he nodded approvingly, at present, Wang Dou's strategy is the most practical. Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising army, was even more commended, and Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, also nodded again and again.

Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, said calmly: "The last general will be attached to General Wang." ”

Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanxi, also agreed to help suppress the general soldier Zuo Guangxian, and also thought that Wang Dou said it very well, not to mention Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong.

Even the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Ke and Miyun General Soldier Tang Tong were a little swaying, only Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, said with a big grin: "Hitting Rufeng Mountain is a fight, and hitting Loess Ridge is also a fight, and not all of them are the same." ”

After that, the opinions in the hall tended to attack the Loess Ridge and Songshan Ridge first, but how to attack, everyone expressed their opinions, and the quarrel became a pot of porridge. …,

The subtle thing is that although some people in the hall are brave enough to fight, and some people do not want to fight for the time being, no one seems to propose that the Jingbian Army fight.

Their mentality is like not being able to do without Wang Dou, and with Wang Dou in the army, everyone can feel at ease. But I don't want Wang Dou to go to war and rob them of their credit, the effect of Wang Dou and the Jingbian Army is a bit similar to the nuclear deterrence of later generations.

Hong Chengchou attaches great importance to Wang Dou and regards him as a bold man in the army, so he naturally doesn't want Wang Dou to fight at the beginning.

He sighed: "According to the report of the sentinels, the Songshan Ridge is mainly stationed in the Dongnu Blue Banner, the Blue Banner, and some Mongolian cavalry, with more than 10,000 people, and it is difficult to find out how much. ”

"The Loess Ridge has a large number of Eight Banners Han Army, with many Hongyi cannons, bird guns and other firearms, as well as some white flags and white flags inlaid with Tartars. The Han army fought in the mountains, and the cavalry of the Tatars galloped down from the mountains and attacked from the side. If our army attacks the Loess Ridge, the front ridge of Rufeng Mountain, the slave cavalry of Songshan Ridge will respond to the attack, and there are Shimen Mountain and other slaves and thieves to help, it is quite difficult. Everyone frowned and pondered, and Cai Maode had been in Songshan for a long time, and he had a good understanding of the shape, so he offered a plan: "Hongdu, you can dig a trench in Pingchuan between Loess Ridge and Songshan Ridge, and cut off the communication between the two sides. In this way, the two cannot be connected, and they are both fighting alone. ”

Zhang Dou, the soldier, disagreed: "Even if the slave cavalry of Songshan Ridge can't support Loess Ridge, and there are slave cavalry of Rufeng Mountain and Shimen Mountain, they can't break it." ”

Cai Maode said: "Indeed, but it is better to be able to break one place than to have three or four of them together." ”

Everyone nodded, and that's all.

After quarrels, it was not until late at night that Hong Chengchou decided on the candidate to attack the Loess Ridge Zhude.

Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and Li Fuming, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, attacked Loess Ridge head-on. Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Jizhen, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, responded to the Qing cavalry attack on Songshan Ridge. Wang Pu, the general army of Datong, set up a formation in the northeast of Songshan to prevent the slaves of Rufeng Mountain from riding, and from the north direction, flanked Yang Guozhu and Li Fuming's troops who attacked the mountain.

The general army of Shanhaiguan Ma Ke and the general army of Miyun Tang Tong deployed to the west of Songshan Fort to prevent slaves from attacking from the western wilderness.

As for the reinforcement of the general soldier Zuo Guangxian, he fought with the loyal and brave Bo Wang as reinforcements, and tried to fight everywhere.

The Tartar thieves arranged a large number of artillery guns in the Loess Ridge, and the attack on the Loess Ridge required a large number of artillery cover, which required the Shenji Battalion to dispatch. Fu Yingchong patted his chest and promised that he would definitely provide the greatest artillery support to the friendly forces attacking the mountain.

However, his guarantee naturally could not reassure Yang Guozhu and others, and Hong Chengchou was not at ease. For cannons, Wang Dou naturally has the most say in Daming, so everyone urgently needs Wang Dou to make a statement.

Wang Dou was thinking about a problem, at this time, they were all solid bullets, not exploding, and the Hongyi cannon was hitting down the mountain, and it was naturally powerful against the dense array.

However, attacking the mountains can't form an effective ricochet, can this lethality come out? The Qing army hid behind the wall, not to mention the extremely low hit rate, the killing effect was poor, and the artillery became empty. And there is also the problem of elevation angles, the mountains are slightly higher, and when you shoot at the mountains, the angle of the artillery cannot be lifted at all, and you cannot shell.

Wang Dou communicated with Zhao Xuan behind him for a while, and slowly said this question in the expectant eyes of everyone, and for a while Hong Chengchou, Yang Guozhu, Fu Yingchong and others were stunned.

Do your own artillery want to become scrap metal?

Wang Dou said: "Otherwise, in the Shenji Battalion, there are a large number of rocket vehicles, as well as many large rockets such as the Divine Fire Flying Crow and the Sky Thunder Flying Thief. There are also a large number of fire and thunder cannons that penetrate the mountains and break through, which can shoot poisonous bullets, ash bullets and other objects, and when they go out with the army, they will definitely be able to kill and injure a large number of thieves and prisoners, and cover the battle of the king of the mountain. ”…,

Of course, the Shenwei General cannon in Fu Yingchong's camp also has to be pulled out, what is the effect, and we will see when the time comes.

In fact, to attack the walled city, a large number of Hongyi light artillery small cannons, as well as scattered shells of the Franc machine gun are the best, and shooting at close range is the arrival of death. In that year, Wang Dou attacked Yuetuo's village, and under the bombardment of his own artillery, Yuetuo's walled city soon fell.

Of course, the walled city of Yuetuo was a wooden structure in the plains, and they did not have artillery guns at that time, so this experience was obviously different from previous years, and it was much more difficult.

Do you want to dispatch the Jingbian Army Artillery Battalion by yourself at that time? Wang Dou thought to himself.

After being reminded by Wang Dou, Fu Yingchong patted his leg and said, "Ah, I almost forgot about the Divine Fire Flying Crow and other sharp weapons in my army. ”

He grinned: "Yes, when the time comes, a large number of poisonous arrows will be shot, and there will be sharp weapons such as divine fire crows, flying in the air to attack thieves and thunderstorms, and thunder cannons that can be broken through the mountains, loaded with poisons, ash bullets, etc., and fly into the thief camp, which will definitely make them unable to eat and walk around." ”

No wonder Fu Yingchong has such a spirit, in his Shenji battalion, the sergeants are self-generated with big guns such as Lu Mi Gong, Nine-headed Bird, 300 rocket vehicles, and nearly 1,000 rounds of Divine Fire Flying Crow and other big rockets. There are also twenty-five Shenwei General Cannons - originally there were thirty, but after supporting the defense line of Wang Dou Changling Mountain, five Hongyi heavy cannons, two bronze cannons, and three iron cannons, only twenty-five remained.

At the same time, Fu Yingchong also supported Wang Dou with five large-caliber mortar cannons, fifteen catties of artillery, and twenty small-caliber mortars, five catties and ten catties of cannons, all of which remained in the Changling Mountain defense line. In addition, Hong Chengchou supported Wang Dou's 50 gates, and the defense line of Changling Mountain was indeed impregnable.

Even so, in Fu Yingchong's army, there are still 50 large-caliber mortars and nearly 100 small-caliber mortars, which are indeed abundant.

Seeing him say this, Yang Guozhu and Li Fuming were a lot more relieved.

Hong Chengchou also decided to collect a large number of rockets from the army's inventory to attack the mountain, and Wang Dou also decided to support Yang Guozhu with a large number of poison bombs and ash bombs to attack the wall.

After Wang Dou also said that all kinds of small artillery were advantageous, Hong Chengchou decided to gather chariots, collect hundreds of thousands of Franc machines, hundreds of guns and other artillery to fight together, with the power of fierce tigers and rabbits, a steady stream of offensives, and was determined to capture the Loess Ridge.

Wang Dou said: "You don't have to be too afraid of the thieves' Hongyi cannons, as long as they resist their range, they will fight from the mountain to the mountain, but it will be useless." ”

He briefly explained the problem of blind spots, although the mountains were far away, but because of the field of vision, as long as they rushed through their range, the artillery could not hit the target.

As soon as Wang Dou said that, everyone understood, and it was like a cannon on the city, isn't it the same? It's just that the blind spot is not so big. (To be continued.)
