Ling Zhiqing is also unlucky, he was originally a regimental commander, but because he was born in the green camp of Fujian Province, he was kicked out of the front-line troops in Zheng Jun's continuous spit out of the old and the new, and now although the official has been promoted to the first rank and has become the captain of Zhengliupin Chengxin, as well as the deputy lord of Qianhu, he had to be reluctantly sent to Shenglong as the so-called national messenger attendant military attaché.

What kind of position is this, not only can he not run in front of Lord Zheng to criticize his excellent soldiers, but he is also embarrassed to seize the command of the lieutenant (team leader) from the eighth rank in the embassy of the festival, so he can only wander around Thang Long City with nothing to do, and ponder where is the best position to attack the city with the eyes of a soldier.

Of course, if you think about it seriously, Ling Zhiqing actually still has a job. When he arrived, it happened that when Lord Zheng gathered a large army to prepare for the southern expedition, the special director of the Privy Council ordered him to collect a report on the situation of Zheng Zheng, but this matter was handled by the staff of the Department under the name of the Military Attaché, and Ling Zhiqing, who had no experience in intelligence, signed at most for approval.

After a few months of doing nothing, Lord Zheng's army finally assembled and headed south, and the noisy Thang Long City finally quieted down.

In fact, there is still a garrison in Thang Long City, the 5,000 troops monitoring the Li Emperor and the Li Huang family have not moved at all, and the 6,000 excellent soldiers of the Zheng Emperor and the main mansion of Yiwei have also left 2,000 people, and the five government governors, government affairs and more than half of the governors of the five armies have also stayed in Thang Long, of course, this is not to guard against a team of guards in the Ming Zheng Embassy, but to worry that Zheng Fan, who provoked this war, will not be stabbed in the back.

Three days after the army moved south, Ling Zhiqing received an order to go to the front line to observe the combat strength of Lord Zheng's army. He immediately went south and chased after Lord Zheng's army all the way. Good guys, this is still an army, it's clearly a group of armed coolies. Not to mention the ragged clothes and poor equipment, everyone has to carry and carry 100 catties of rice on their backs to march, which is really a strange thing that has never been heard of in the history of Chinese affairs.

After chasing for a few days, Ling Zhiqing finally saw the main force of Zheng Zhu's army, although these excellent soldiers were also Cheng dù trained by the domestic township brave regiment, but only the "advanced" firearms such as bird guns and arquebuses began to appear, and the materials no longer needed to be transported by manpower, and the shoulders of people were replaced by ox carts that were also moving slowly.

But the road is still extraordinarily difficult, on the one hand, it is muddy, on the other hand, even the mud road is blocked by the large group of soldiers who are swarming south, and it is also thanks to Ling Zhiqing that the main government sent a high-ranking official at the level of the governor to monitor him when he went south, and it is by using the honor guard of the governor to open the way, Ling Zhiqing can stand out from the tens of millions of troops, otherwise he can only fall into the sea of Beihe peasants and soldiers because of the language barrier.

It was with this governor surnamed Li that Ling Zhiqing got a jaw-dropping "common sense" of Annan. Originally, the dignified first-class governor and the second-rank general soldier could only manage the strength of one battalion of 800 people at the front line, and as for the second level, they could only manage the basic combat units of about 200 people, such as Qi and team.

"Nima, it turns out that Lao Tzu is not a general soldier when he arrives in Annan, and the governor can be regarded as a general and a guerrilla." Ling Zhiqing scolded with a secret smile, isn't it, the strength of a regiment in Ming Zheng has more than 400 people, and it is half of the battalion of Lord Zheng's army in Annan. "But this general and guerrilla is not worth much."

With such a slander, Ling Zhiqing finally rushed to the front line, and before he had time to enter Zheng Gen's camp, he roughly swept the garrison of Zheng Gen's army, and was immediately surprised, this is a military camp or a market, is this preparing for war or an outing.

Fortunately, the defense and construction of Zheng Gen's camp were quite unsatisfactory, so that Ling Zhiqing said to himself with a hint of the aftermath of the catastrophe: "It's okay, it's okay, Lao Tzu is finally not here to send him to death." ”

However, Ling Zhiqing didn't expect that as soon as he entered Zheng Gen's camp, he met Xia Ma Wei, and he didn't know if it was Zheng Gen's own intention, as soon as he sat down, someone on the side asked: "Ling Envoy, can you see the majesty of the main mansion along the way?" ”

Ling Zhiqing wanted to say that Bingwei didn't see it, only a group of refugees, but after all, this was someone's home field, and he was not a guest who was too much to evaluate, so he prevaricated: "The little envoy is here with a strict order, only with eyes and ears, and is not allowed to open his mouth to evaluate, so please forgive King Dingnan and a few adults." ”

Originally, it was polite to ask Ling Zhiqing to open his mouth to comment, but when he refused, Zheng Gen stopped asking. In fact, although Zheng Zhu relied on the army to control the country of Beihe, but after grasping the authority, Zheng Zhu was extremely wary of the warriors and learned from the Ming and Qing dynasties to implement the national policy of civilizing and martial arts, so he didn't really value Ming and Zheng military attachés like Ling Zhiqing. Therefore, Ling Zhiqing's subsequent request to go to the front line was also agreed, and he seemed to have no idea of keeping military secrets at all.

Since Lord Zheng and the main mansion were so good, of course Ling Zhiqing couldn't ask for it, so when he knew that there was an attack today, he immediately rushed over without caring about tidying up and resting.

By the time Ling Zhiqing arrived, the offensive had already begun, and the target of today's attack was a part of the Great Wall of Nguyen Zheng. The so-called Nguyen-Zheng Great Wall is not a defensive system that stretches for tens of thousands of miles like the Great Wall in northern China, but a defensive position composed of a number of Taisi fortresses and a number of mountains and rivers that are not conducive to marching. Of course, there are parts of the city walls, but they are not very long, and they are connected by several bastions. Since the fortress guards the main road of communication, it is useless to attack the city wall, and you can only knock the fortress area.

It is said that it is a fortress, but the fortress is also simple, the teacher of the Ruan lord, the Portuguese, was originally a fish belly in Europe, and its 6th Army had no experience in large-scale battles, so it was reflected that the structure of the fortress built by the Ruan lord was quite primitive, and there was not much threat in the eyes of Zheng Jun.

It is a pity that Zheng Zhu's army was not Zheng Jun, and the bad-hearted Dutch did not tell Zheng Zhu how to attack the fortress in Europe while selling their arms on a large scale, so every time Zheng Zhu's army invaded the south, they could only use the flesh and blood of peasant soldiers to break through the iron wall that could not be broken through theoretically.

This time it was the same, after a burst of crackling cannons, hundreds of Beihe soldiers swarmed up with sacks full of dirt, ready to fill a section of the opponent's rearranged trench, only to flee with a dozen wounded and five or six dead wolves under the enemy's fire.

The escapees did not escape the impermanence of the demand, and under the command of the hideous-faced Zheng Zhu's subordinates, the unlucky ghosts among the escapees were selected, and these people were pressed to the open space in front of the barracks one by one, and then they were cut down one by one in the crying and begging. The rank was then raised as an example to the monkeys, and under the "gaze" of these vain deaths, a new group of terrified farmers embarked on the journey of death again.

Ling Zhiqing was very strange, this was not because the accuracy of the artillery under Master Zheng was too poor, nor was it because of the swarm of shooting when his artillery opened fire, because these two problems were still very common in the green camp of the Qing army, and the fundamental reason was that the lack of training in peacetime would reflect all kinds of problems in wartime.

In fact, what made Ling Zhiqing strange were two places.

First, why did the "first soldier" not advance under the cover of shelling, but instead attacked the opponent's artillery fire in the interval between shelling?

Second, second, why didn't the soldiers who were ordered to fill the trenches find some shield carts and other protection, knowing that although the shield carts could not block the opponent's shells, they could at least make the arquebus in the hands of the Nguyen soldiers at a certain distance greatly reduce the lethality of the arquebuses.

Although he had this and that question, Ling Zhiqing remembered his statement in front of Zheng Gen and did not mention Zheng Gen's side at all. Even in his opinion, the people of Beihe are not Chinese, and the more they die, the better, and as for whether Zheng Zhu can unify Annan, he has nothing to do with him.

Soon the defeated men retreated, and one of the battalions of this sortie again lost a dozen peasant soldiers, and their only result was to fill the trench with some sacks of the previous dead, and according to the degree of their filling, it was estimated that the trench would be filled with five or six hundred more sacrifices.

So the attack continued, but I don't know if it was to save gunpowder or if the shelling was ineffective at all, but the shelling before each attack stopped, so that the morale of the soldiers was even lowered, but three or five people fell on the front line and fled, and as a result, they were killed more than they were killed in front of the battle.

Hit until the sun went down, this section of the trench was still not filled, and Zheng had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Before Ling Zhiqing returned to the Zheng main camp, he deliberately checked the situation at the head of the camp that he had observed. The result was self-evident, the soldiers who had been killed and wounded looked at their commander with hostile eyes, and ate a simple mixture of cassava and dried bananas, while the rice that the soldiers had painstakingly brought from their homeland was not something they could afford to enjoy.

Seeing this scene, Ling Zhiqing asked thoughtfully, "Are these cassava and dried bananas brought by the soldiers?" ”

"No," replied the interpreter sent by Lord Zheng. "It was collected by a soldier in the surrounding area."

Ling Zhiqing continued to ask, "What if I eat it all?" ”

The interpreter pointed to the back of the camp, and Ling Zhiqing remembered that there seemed to be a vacant lot there: "Don't worry, rice and cassava have been planted in the back, and we will be able to harvest a new season before the grain is eaten up." ”

What, even if you can fight and farm at the same time, Ling Zhiqing is about to faint. But what made him even more dizzy was the unfinished subtext of the translation, thinking that these poor soldiers would continue to act as tenants of the lord's mansion in addition to the battle, providing a steady stream of rice for Lord Zheng and the generals.

Can such an army win battles?
