Zhang Li laughed, glanced at everyone meaningfully, and said lightly: "This matter should be a topic, and I will test you." Now the choice made by this officer is to shrink in Tuanshan Fort and stand still, and even Tieshan Fort will not care about it. As for why, you all think about it, and whoever understands it can come and tell me. ‘

After saying this, Zhang Zhang sat back on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, and two words popped out of his mouth: 'The meeting is over.' ‘

……

Tuanshan Fort Fort Wall.

The temperature in Tuanshan Fort at dawn in early winter had dropped to zero degrees, and the wood pulled the cuffs of the cotton clothes on his body and added a handful of firewood to the bonfire.

His own small flag and his own total of nine soldiers are all on duty at the fortress wall at the moment.

Because it was so cold these nights, it was impossible for the soldiers to stand up straight in the cold wind all the time.

So Pan always ordered that each flag must have three soldiers at the same time to keep an eye on the situation outside the fort walls, and that the other soldiers could keep warm near the campfire to conserve their strength - but in the event of a police call, everyone must be there as soon as possible.

Now the big bull is in charge of the lookout with two recruits, and he rests with the pimple and the other four soldiers.

It is said to be resting, but in fact, it can only be a shallow sleep for a while.

When Mr. Pan came to inspect just now, he woke up with the pimple and couldn't sleep anymore......

Wood sighed and was rubbing his hands together, but he heard the pimple speak.

'Brother Mu, do you say that Ning Yuanwei's ancestral general soldier really dares to come to fight our regimental mountain fort? ‘

Wood glanced at the pimple and pouted, "This is not for us to discuss. However, since Lord Zhang asked us to strengthen our vigilance, there must be some truth in it. ‘

Pimple puts his hand in front of the campfire. Rubbing it vigorously: 'That's right. ‘

Wood smiled and said, 'You kid be content!' How did we get winter in previous years? Now Lord Zhang mobilized the women and children of Tuanshan Fort to make cotton clothes for us, and they are not afraid to be on duty at night. ‘

The pimple nodded heavily. agreed: 'The Tartars will not come to attack the city in winter, didn't we spend the winter in Ning Yuanwei in the barracks like a kennel in the past?' Gee. Or Lord Zhang has a way, as soon as this cotton coat is put on, we are not afraid to go out to the field! ‘

'Well, you're struggling again. Still in the field, last time a dozen or so Tartars on the shallow rocky beach shot our Bailai people......

As soon as he heard the wood's words, the pimple's expression darkened: "Fortunately, the Tartars will definitely not come in winter." ‘

Wood's brows furrowed, and he glared at the pimple: "What, are you scared?" ‘

'Huh? - No, not afraid! Pimple hurriedly explained. I'm afraid that Brother Mu will look down on him.

With a disdainful look on his face, the wood said coldly: 'In the future, if you kid dares to be greedy for life and afraid of death, Lao Tzu will be the first to chop you!' ‘

'Enemy attack! -- Enemy Attack -- '

A terrible shout was heard, interrupting the conversation between Wood and Pimple!

Wood swished to his feet, his eyes looking beyond the fortress walls—

Little black dots!

More and more!

Wood was anxious and kicked the few people who were still sleeping by the campfire to wake up: 'Quick, get up!' ‘

A piercing gong sounded, and the entire Tuanshan Fort was awakened!

'Enemy attack, everyone is in place!' In the distance, Pan's general shout came, and Wood immediately repeated: 'Stand still.' Check the firecracker! ‘

……

Zhang Zhang rushed to the fortress wall as soon as possible, Gao Yuanliang stood behind him, and Pan Batian and Yi Ze went to lead their own teams.

The entire regiment of more than 2,000 people gathered on the fortress wall.

Zhang Li looked at the bright red flag under the fort wall with the word 'Dai' written on it. A sneer crossed his lips.

Gao Yuanliang frowned, obviously a little surprised.

Previously, everyone thought that Ning Yuanwei's goal was to recapture Iron Mountain Fort, but Master Zhang did not move. Only the forts of Tuanshan Fort were strictly ordered to be strengthened.

Now it seems that Ning Yuanwei's goal is really Tuanshan Fort.

Zhang Zhang rubbed his hands. After a sigh, he said slowly, "Old Gao." None of you came up with the question I came up with that day. ‘

Gao Yuanliang looked embarrassed: "My lord, my subordinates are stupid. ‘

Zhang Li glanced at the Ning Yuan guards who were still gathering under the fort wall, and said in a deep voice: "If they want to fight Tieshan Fort, they don't need to mobilize the whole city at all. ‘

Gao Yuanliang's eyes deepened, and he began to keep up with Zhang Li's thoughts.

'Zu Zepu is young and can become the chief soldier of Ningyuan, although his identity is a big help, but he is not an ordinary person. He has already read the battle report I wrote in the previous battle at the shallow rocky beach. ‘

Gao Yuanliang's eyes flashed, and he asked, "My lord, do you mean-"

Zhang Zhang nodded: "Siege and field warfare, which is easy?" ‘

Of course it's a field battle. The art of war is cloudy, and ten rules surround it. If the combat power is about the same, the siege will require much more troops. ‘

Zhang Li bowed slightly, indeed. However, the premise is that the combat power is about the same, for example, the combat power of the Tartars is N times higher than that of the Ming army, and this law will naturally be invalid.

Gao Yuanliang seemed to have some understanding: "My lord, do you mean that Zu Zepu deliberately made a gesture of attacking Tieshan Fort, attracting our regimental mountain army to go out and set up an ambush, and then he came out in the field to counter-encircle? ‘

Exactly. ‘

Hiss - Gao Yuanliang gasped, this strategy is really vicious!

There are only more than 2,000 people in the Tuanshan army, and if they want to go out to ambush, they will definitely go out of the nest - this is a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

Zhang Li glanced at Gao Yuanliang and said, "This is just one of them, and the most important thing is not this. ‘

Gao Yuanliang exclaimed: 'Huh? One of them? And the second one? ‘

Zhang Li nodded: "They're sure they want to get rid of me, but it's really not a good idea to siege the city. If my side holds out for a few days, the war will leak out, and they will not be able to explain it to the court. ‘

Gao Yuanliang somewhat understood: "So, Ning Yuanwei's best choice is to fight with us in the field and defeat the Tuanshan Army in a battle?" ‘

Tension bowed slightly. But he didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the Ning Yuan army that had been assembled under the fort wall.

Zu Zepu under the fort wall was a little depressed, originally thought that the Tuanshan army would come out to ambush his 10,000 army, but he carefully searched and advanced along the way, and until he reached Tuanshan Fort, he found that Zhang Li did not move at all.

He came under the banner of Dai Jian, the governor of Guangning, but Dai Jian and Zhao Gonggong were unwilling to participate in the war, only saying that they had set up a celebration banquet in the Ningyuan Acropolis and waited for them.

'Damn, these two turtle grandsons! ‘

After Zu Zepu scolded in a low voice, his brows were also locked.

The walls of this hill fort have obviously been repaired, and they are much stronger than before.

I didn't bring siege equipment with me, how could I attack it? Do you want to fill it with your life?

Ning Yuanwei's Hongyi cannons were all fixed on the acropolis wall, and it was impossible to dismantle them. The jack Franc machine is too bulky and I don't have it with me, only some light Furlong cannons, how can this be attacked?

The ladder can be made temporarily, is it really necessary to attack the city with ants?

Zu Zepu is a little dilemma, although he has the advantage of troops, but if 10,000 people do not have heavy siege equipment and artillery, it is not an advantage to attack a fortified city of 2,000 people.

His plan itself was to attract tension out of the city to ambush, and the requirements for mobility were very high, and he did not bring heavy equipment.

Tension is not fooled, when a turtle, this is tricky......

For a while, the atmosphere inside and outside Tuanshan Fort was quite strange, and the two Ming armies were tense, but they did not immediately start fighting.

The situation is still standoff, but the wood has a new job.

Master Zhang asked all the soldiers of the regimental mountain army to carry water to the fort wall, and then poured down the wall bricks from the top of the wall.

The temperature was already below freezing, and soon the walls of the fort were frozen and slippery.

The man with this small flag on the wood has already run up and down the fort three times, and all the fort walls in his defense area are frozen, and he can't climb at all.

After some tossing, the bones of the body also moved, and the wood even untied the collar and gasped for breath.

Mu Tou glanced at the two teams of soldiers who wielded thousands of pounds of furlong machine guns on the east and west arrow towers with some envy, they were the best treated people in the entire Tuanshan army.

The gunner's monthly salary is ten taels - Lord Zhang is really willing to spend money!

However, the danger and responsibility of operating a gunner is much greater than that of a gunner like himself. There have been no cases of self-made firebolts exploding their chambers, arquebuses do, but at most they are injured.

But once the Fran cannon is blown up, the gunner's bones must be gone.

In addition, Master Zhang also has strict requirements for shooting, requiring one mile away and one out of three guns.

That is, a hit rate of 30%, which is really a bit unbelievable.

In the past, Ning Yuanwei was not without a thousand catties of Franc machine, as long as the direction of the cannon was correct, it didn't matter if he hit or not, there were always one or two cannons that could hit people with ten shots, just try to hit the enemy's dense places

But Master Zhang can't do it here, the cannonball must fall in the middle of the lime circle he drew a mile away, one out of three. If you can't reach it, you can eliminate it at any time.

Although the requirements of his self-made firecracker team are also three in one, but the accuracy of shooting is much higher than that of the first, and the standard of three in one is basically reached by the musket team at present.

As soon as he thought of this, Mu Tou suddenly thought of a terrible fact - Master Zhang would not ask for the second middle school after a while, it would be too difficult......

Confrontation, the two sides confronted each other nervously in front of Tuanshan Fort.

It seems that no one wants to speak first, this kind of thing is clearly a Ming infighting, how to say it?

If whoever fires the first shot first, that's fine.

Zhang Li didn't have the slightest interest in firing the first shot, and soon the smell of meat came from the fort wall.

Zhang Zhang actually set up several cauldrons on the fortress wall and cooked mutton soup for the soldiers!

The soldiers of Ning Yuanwei under the fortress wall were cold and hungry, and the regimental mountain troops on the fortress wall drank the hot mutton soup and looked at the 'colleagues' under the city wall with a smile.

Zu Zepu was furious, and scolded viciously: 'Tension, I will slash you!' ‘

With a wave of his hand, Zu Zepu summoned a herald to step forward: 'Shout, just say ......' (to be continued......
