516 Prepare for yin
The sun sets and the sun rises, and a new day has arrived.
The first thing Mao Caigui did when he woke up was to ask his companion in the same room: "Did Jianyu come to look for death last night?" ”
When his companion who woke up earlier than him heard this, he said with a look of disdain on his face: "Just Jianyu, those uncivilized barbarians, can they fight the chief?" If you can't crack the chief's strategy, and if you still come to die, you're sick in the brain! ”
When Mao Caigui heard this, for some reason, he suddenly sighed, which made his companion very curious, and immediately asked, "What, what are you sighing for?" ”
"You said that if there was a talent like the head of the imperial court, wouldn't we have to go through so much suffering?" Mao Caigui sat on the kang and looked up at his companion.
At this time, one of the companions who was woken up by them heard the conversation and interjected with a little disdain: "Don't dream, will the lords in the court tolerate a young man like the chief in power?" ”
When the people in the room heard this, they were silent. Those of them who do not want to stay in the Heavenly Army naturally have a stronger force behind them, and they have heard relatively more news.
The party strife of the lords in the court, even if it is them, has heard of it. And in the current situation, even the scientific expedition has fallen.
In the imperial examination, regardless of your knowledge and talent, the first thing to look at is where you come from and who is behind you, then whoever has a higher chance of being admitted. With a background like the chief, it is impossible to take the road of scientific research at all.
Thinking of these, Mao Caigui and others couldn't help but sigh, and their good mood was much worse.
They didn't know that the Fushe Society, which was established in Wujiang, Jiangsu Province last year, would grow into a monster. Its leader, Zhang Pu, is known as the son of heaven in the wilderness, and anyone who wants to take the road of scientific research must join the Restoration Society. It's only about his relationship.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was actually really rotten.
Besides, Hu Guang had already climbed the arrow tower at the south gate at this time, condescendingly, holding a telescope to observe the movements of Jianyu.
After arriving in Guihua City yesterday afternoon, he learned in detail about the fighting in recent days. This kind of first-hand experience in the field of war. Compared with listening to the news remotely in the eagle's beak ditch, it is naturally not the same.
Looking at the rows of Jianyu heads hanging on the head of the city, Hu Guang understood that the countermeasure of using the naturalized city to consume the living force of the Jianyu was right. Through the estimation of the number of these heads, Huang Taiji is afraid that he will die of distress.
If they can seize the opportunity to beat Jianyu again, it is estimated that their strength will be greatly damaged, and the next time they want to go on an expedition from Liaodong to Naturalize City, they will have to think twice.
In this way, if the Heavenly Army is called to expand again, it will have enough strength to ensure that crops will begin to grow on the Hetao Plain. Estimated on the basis of the current situation. It's hard to say about sweet potatoes and corn, but potatoes can definitely be planted on a large scale next year, and the food problem needs to be solved soon.
Hu Guangzheng was thinking about things while observing, and suddenly Hu Hansan's voice sounded beside him, only to hear him ask a little puzzled: "Chief, why don't you let the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion go out, you see that there are a lot fewer Jianyu sentinels outside, and you have the strength to fight with them!" ”
"yes. Chief, I'll be able to drive those sentries back to their camp! Cheng Mouse listened. hurriedly echoed.
When Hu Guang heard this, he put down his binoculars, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said, "Jianyu has set up the big camp as far as his eyes can see, even if the reconnaissance battalion can drive away the Jianyu Sentinel Cavalry, it will not be interesting." The most important thing is that I want to show weakness. ”
Speaking of which. He turned to the right and said to Hu Kuan, who was standing beside him: "Big brother did a good job in this, and did not send a cavalry regiment, so that Jianyu did not know our true strength." ”
When Hu Kuan heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face. Then he replied solemnly: "Didn't you say that you would use the Naturalization City to consume the Jianyu's troops, and I was also afraid that the Jianyu would play any tricks, so I focused on defending." ”
"Chief, since we have made up our minds not to fight from the beginning, we can actually keep some less war horses at the beginning." Rakshin interjected, "With so many horses left in the city, they have to store a lot of grain and grass alone. ”
When Hu Kuan heard this, his eyes swept around, and he found that they were all senior generals called the Heavenly Army, so he preemptively explained in place of Hu Guang: "The chief's original plan, if we can't hold the Naturalization City, we can have war horses break through and return to the eagle's beak ditch." ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a while, and they were suddenly moved in their hearts.
But at the moment, it seems that there is no need for it, Hu Guang pointed to the outside of the city and said: "We will show the enemy weakness first, if there is a chance, I don't mind taking the initiative to attack, if we can knock out a large battalion of Jianyu, Jianyu will definitely be greatly injured." ”
As soon as he heard that the chief said that he might take the initiative, several senior generals around him became excited. But before they could speak, Hu Kuan had already frowned, pointed to the two camps in the east and south of Jianyu and said: "Jianyu is divided into two large camps, and they are each other's horns, and if you hit one of them, the other battalion will inevitably come to the rescue, which is probably very dangerous!" ”
"Ah, if they had been a battalion when Dordor or Dolgon had been in the past, and we had taken the initiative to attack at that time, we wouldn't have had this trouble, and the number of troops in the building would have been small!" When Hu Hansan heard this, he clapped his palms in annoyance and said, "It's a pity that you have an opportunity!" ”
Liu Daneng listened and nodded in agreement. As far as the field army is concerned, the cavalry regiment under him is the strongest, and if he wants to fight, he must dispatch his cavalry regiment.
At this moment, Hu Guang suddenly picked up the binoculars again and looked at the Jianyu camp in the distance.
When several other high-ranking generals saw this, they noticed something was wrong and picked up binoculars one after another to observe the situation.
"Jianyu is out of the camp, as if he is going to attack the city." Hu Guang concluded while watching.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Daneng pointed to the big camp on the other side and said: "There are also prisoners over there, and there are siege equipment, it is really going to attack the city!" ”
Hu Guang put down the binoculars and immediately said to several senior generals around him: "Then take your place, see how Jianyu attacks the city, and act according to the rules!" ”
"Yes, Chief!" The senior generals were in high spirits and agreed loudly.
Hu Wan and Hu Hansan immediately prepared to go down the arrow tower and go to the east to command the battle, but they were immediately stopped by Hu Guang. I only listened to his instructions: "Big brother, remember to show the enemy to be weak." Don't have too many people in the city, don't use the conscienceless cannon until the critical moment, use the incendiary bombs sparingly, and let the firearms too, so that the Jianyu feel that our reserves are insufficient, and they are almost consumed. ”
Hu Kuan's face was serious, knowing that the second brother was going to be yin. So, he nodded meticulously and said, "Don't worry, chief, I know it in my heart." ”
After saying that, he went down the arrow tower and left.
Hu Guang then turned his head and instructed Uncle Mo, who had been standing without speaking: "Leave behind the archery masters in your regiment and the accurate soldiers with firecrackers, remove thirty percent of the number, and stand by under the city." (To be continued.) )
