Beside Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Zhang Yan, Wang Dou and others gathered in a pile, and Wang Dou held a simple topographic map of the surrounding area of the giant deer in his hand. There is a lot of grain and grass in the army, there are enough firearms, our army is fighting against the water, and after grinding the sharp spirit of the captives, the reinforcements of the Gaojian army will also come, so the front and back attack, our army has a great chance of winning. ”

Lu Xiangsheng and the others nodded slowly, and Hu Dawei's words also said that Feng Wangdou's heart was worthy of being a veteran soldier who had been in battle for a long time, and he came up with the safest method at a glance.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered a rapid march to the northwest, although the soldiers of each battalion faintly heard that there were Tartar armies surrounding them on all sides, but these days the Xuanda army was full of vigor and self-confidence was unprecedentedly high. Although the people were not frightened, they just went northwest in an orderly manner.

Soon, 100,000 soldiers arrived at the Artemisia River, and sure enough, the river was wide and the waves were turbulent. Along both sides of the river, there is a thick layer of ice. However, in the center of the river, there is only rolling ice, and people and vehicles cannot pass.

A sandy official road leads to the opposite side of the river, and across the river from the official road, there is a majestic stone bridge, which is called the Artemisia Bridge by the locals. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless loess wilderness on both sides, with nothing but a few trees or ruined villages as far as the eye can see. "And they set up camp here."

Lu Xiangsheng was deep in both days, and under his order, the soldiers of the various battalions of Xuanda took out the camp tents from under their respective baggage vehicles and set up camp in an endless stream. Soon, a continuous camp slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

In Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army tent, Wang Dou and Xuanda generals gathered together to discuss military affairs, and each expressed their opinions on how to defend the camp.

Wang Dou fought successively, and had the grace of transporting grain, and had a high prestige among the generals of Xuanda at this time. Although he was only a small guerrilla general, everyone, including Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and others, took Wang Dou's opinion very seriously.

"Governors, military gates, generals, the last general thinks that we can set up horses and wooden fences, earthen walls, and other things around our camp, but there is no need to dig trenches around the camp and trap ourselves inside."

Wang Dou believes that when a large army fights, it cannot just defend and not attack, but can defend and attack, so as to deal the greatest blow to the enemy's morale and sharpness.

"The last general thinks that all the fronts of our artillery can not be repaired earthen walls, but only dig a trench more than ten feet deep in front of the artillery, so that the forces of the slaves and thieves will be directly enveloped in our artillery fire. Wang Dou had explained the course of the battle of Tongzhou, and everyone was deeply convinced that with the assistance of Wang Dou's artillery and firearms, the defense of the camp could be said to be a loss of 10,000 yuan.

But then Wang Dou said again: "Of course, isolation and no aid is a taboo in the army, fortunately, the Gao Jian Army has led tens of thousands of troops to the south, we can ask him for help, and after the enemy's sharp spirit is exhausted, the tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops of the Gao Jian Army can give the enemy a thunder blow, perhaps, the slaves and thieves who entered the prison this time can be a drum Xiping." ”

Historically, there were 30,000 Qing soldiers who surrounded Lu Xiangsheng in Julu, and I don't know how many will come this time, and Wang Dou is worried about being outnumbered. Although he has 5,000 new troops in Baozhou, those recruits have never fought hard battles, and they have not even suppressed bandits. In addition, it is thousands of miles away from Baoan Prefecture to Julu, the road is unpredictable, and the supply of grain and grass is also very difficult, so the idea of reinforcements from Baoan Prefecture was dispersed by Wang Doushengsheng, and he could only count on Gao Qi to dive.

In history, Gao Qiqian saw death and did not save him, but this time it is different from history, there are 100,000 people in the army who hold on, and there is no need for Gao Qiqian and others to fight any tough battles, as long as they get up when the Qing soldiers are exhausted, they may be able to completely destroy all the Qing soldiers who entered the customs in the eleventh year of Chongzhen. This kind of great merit, such a great temptation, he should come.

Lu Xiangsheng also frowned and groaned, the information came, Gao Qiqian had led the army to Ren County, "It's not far from Julu and Ji Ze. Well, I started my past experience with Gao Qiqian, whether Gao Qiqian would come, "Lu Xiangsheng, I am not sure in the scene.

However, at the beginning of the national war, there is a good opportunity to calm the slaves and thieves, and the Gao Jian Army should abandon the gap between the two and lead the Guanning reinforcements to come. Well, at this point, Lu Xiangsheng wrote a handwritten letter, sent a few guards, rode fast horses, and asked Yang Tinglin in the army to go to Ren County in person.

Wang Dou's plan can be said to have no problems, and the staff officers in Lu Xiangsheng's tent have already drawn the graphics of the defense line agreed upon by the generals.

It is still Wang Dou guarding the front of the camp, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Feed, guarding the left wing, Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi, guarding the right wing, and the Buddha wolf machine artillery under Wang Dou to aid part of the two wings. Lu Xiang was promoted to the Chinese army, with nearly 1,000 people under the cliff, plus 2,000 people from Zhang Yan, a general of the Xuanfu, who served as the reserve of reinforcements for each battalion and guarded the Artemisia Bridge. However, everyone thinks that the Qing soldiers should be able to play the old trick of encircling the three queyi, and the area of Artemisia Bridge is not to worry about ().

After the discussion, everyone went out of Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army tent, at this time, Wang Dou's camp in the night did not collect hundreds of people but came in a hurry, he was red and swollen for both days, and his expression was extremely sad. In Wang Dou's impression, this tough guy shows people with a fierce god or a tyrannical face, and has never seen him look like him. Wang Dou felt a bad feeling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen Bai, what is the matter?" ”

Wen Daxing knelt down on one knee and handed a piece of information to Wang Dou: "Li Youde, the team officer who did not close the night, sent back important information. ”

Then he said in a low voice: "Team Officer Li was attacked by a large number of slave thieves and sentry spies on the way, and Team Officer Li covered the sergeants in the team to return to the camp, but he himself died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country. Wang Dou was stunned for a moment and asked, "...... his body?"

Wen Daxing's voice was low: "When I came back, I didn't accept my brother at night, and said that Captain Li was surrounded by the enemy" detonated the grenade he was carrying, and died with the enemy. His conjoined body can't be recovered......"

Wang Dou closed his eyes weakly, this was the first officer-level officer in his army to die in battle, and he was still the most elite officer in the army, and the loss was huge. Yang Guozhu around Wang Dou, his Chinese army general Guo Yingxian and others all patted Wang Dou's shoulder comfortingly.

Lu Xiangsheng was also out of the tent at this time, Wang Dou and Wen Daxing's questions and answers, he heard them all, and he sighed long: "Warriors fought on the battlefield, horses and grass shrouded corpses, these good sons, this governor will definitely write to the court after the war, and ask for sympathy and praise for them." Wang Dou calmed down and said to Wen Daxing: "You have worked hard, go down and rest." Wen Daxing arched his hand and stepped back silently. After a few steps, his tears rolled uncontrollably.

Wang Dou looked at the information in his hand, and finally put the information in Lu Xiangsheng's hands, Lu Xiangsheng snorted after looking at it: "To the north of the giant deer, most of the slaves are coming with white flags. To the east, most of the slave red flags are coming. In the south, there are most of the slave inlaid blue flags, and there are the remaining slave flags, and the eight banners of Mongolian flags. It seems that they are determined to win and to wipe out our Xuanda soldiers. He shouted: "Pass on the order of the governor, all battalion soldiers, step up the construction of camp defenses!" ”））$
