The Qing army in Qingzhou City would not sit still, and organized a death squad to go out of the city overnight to attack a thousand good hands, barebacked, holding a big knife and touching the dark outside of the city. Their tactical goal was not to conquer the enemy's camps, but to seize the outer trenches, and then carry out the same tunneling operations.

On this day, it happened that the moon and the black wind high-definition army death squad all wrapped the whip around the back of the head **, and the face was also black and swarthy, and the face was also swarthy, and when they opened their mouths, they could see two rows of white tooth steel knives that were also smeared with mud, which would not reflect the light, and everyone in addition to weapons also brought fire starters and quietly crawled out of the city to approach the trench of the Ming army.

The Ming army only had some torches shining on the camp, and the light could not take care of the trenches in the distance, and it was still dark outside the vast Qingzhou city, and the Qing army did not wear shirts, and it was often difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me in the night attack, as long as one mouth would reveal the identity, so the best way was not to wear clothes, reach out and touch it to know the enemy and me, although this method is simple, but it is very effective, it is the night attack tactics studied by Zhou Peigong.

How do you know that the magic is one foot high, the road is one foot high, and there is still some distance from the first trench, when there is a dog barking on the Ming army's position, they don't know where to get hundreds of grass dogs in the countryside, the right to use this grass dog as a warning dog, the ability to use this grass dog is not much worse than that of a hunting dog, just give some food, the rest of the dog's head is very satisfied, at night, the crawling of the Qing army with two ears erected high can hide the Ming army sentry shock, but these dog ears immediately barked wildly, a dog barked caused countless dogs to bark, and there was an uproar on the position.

The Qing army knew that it was exposed, so they simply got up and rushed violently, and they knew that there was a sudden light in front of them, and the eyes were dazzled by the arc lamp erected high, and the trench of the Ming army suddenly became a line of fire, and countless fire guns bombarded the daredevils who had nothing to hide under the light, and hit hundreds of their corpses and retreated into the city in a hurry.

The next day, Zhou Peigong simply sent troops to force the shield soldiers in front, and the fire soldiers opened the back city gate, surging out, filling in with human lives, and also taking the trench.

This kind of trench warfare has no tactics to talk about, what to fight is bravery, Liu Ziguang personally beat drums in the camp to cheer, the generals took their own soldiers to supervise the formations everywhere, and the Qing army fought a positional battle.

In the era of cold weapons and primitive firearms, the defending side always had the upper hand, and the Qing army spent a huge price to pounce on the first trench, but they were indeed greeted by short-barreled flare shotguns.

This kind of firearm was originally developed for the five-city terracotta patrol team, it is a kind of urban riot weapon, but it is used for trench warfare, but the effect is wonderful, it is not easy to dodge in the trench, the long weapon can not be used, and the effect of a single firearm is not good, but this kind of firearm is the most powerful and does not need to be aimed directly, a gun can knock over a group of people, although it can not be killed immediately, but at least it can lose resistance, so even if the Qing army entered the trench, it was not able to continue to expand the results, and after a stalemate, it was finally driven back by the Ming army.

The Ming army was on a posture to fight a protracted encirclement war, Zhou Peigong was anxious, and the strategy formulated by Hong Dashuai was all in vain, but the Zhending Mansion was besieged by Jing **. Dengzhou Mansion Feige passed a message saying that it was also surrounded by a trench by the Ming army, and he could not divide troops to save him, so he could solve it by himself.

Zhou Peigong is a handsome man, after careful consideration, he decided to surrender the city of Qingzhou, and finally erected a flag to surrender, more than ten members of Zhou Peigong will kneel all the way to the Ming army camp with their upper bodies and thorns, and come to the Ming army camp to beg for surrender, Liu Ziguang was overjoyed to greet him, took off the thorns on Zhou Peigong's back, took off the cloak and draped it on Zhou Peigong, laughed: "This handsome Peigong is like Liu Xuande, Kong Ming." Zhou Peigong bowed his head and said that the guilty minister died ten thousand times, how could he be compared with Zhuge Kongming.

Qingzhou City was lost and regained, the siege was only half a month, hundreds of casualties, it can be regarded as a complete victory, and the people of Qingzhou were not affected by the military disaster, the loss was reduced to the lowest point, the only regret is that the messy landscape outside the city was dug by the Ming army, and the messy landscape has been changed.

The remaining 20,000 Qing troops in the city were immediately reorganized into Jing ** military uniforms, and the banner did not change, and they went directly to Dengzhou to fight, most of these people were Han people, and they didn't want to work for the Qing State for a long time.

Liu Ziguang has a theory, his Red Shirt Army is like a dog raised by his own family, needless to say, loyalty, and Jing ** is a leper dog that he picked up halfway, and the owner can kick them out at any time, so his loyalty is especially worse than that of the Red Shirts, so he didn't even have a personnel change, and let Zhou Peigong lead the army to fight his former colleague Wang Fuchen.

Wang Fuchen's troops were stationed in Denglai Erzhou, and now Dengzhou also suffered from the same trench siege, but this Ming army was not a regular army, but the Shandong People's Zhuang Volunteer Army organized by Shi Kefa, the volunteers were all peasants, and they were more skilled at playing hoes than knives and guns, and they dug trenches to be much more ruthless than the official army, and they insisted on digging the inner and outer three layers outside Dengzhou City, and the three layers were intertwined beyond recognition.

The army drove to the place where the two armies converged in Dengzhou, Liu Ziguang took the generals into the camp of the volunteers, and everyone was surprised to see that this camp was exactly the same as the camp they built outside Qingzhou City. ”

Liu Ziguang laughed, hurriedly picked up Shi Kefa, and introduced to everyone: "This Shi Zhifu can be regarded as the teacher of Ben Shuai, and the tactics of digging ditches and besieging the city are what he taught to Ben Shuai, and you have made military achievements, but I have to thank Master Shi a lot." ”

Everyone was shocked, it turned out that this set of methods to fight in a daze was actually known to him, look carefully, this person is wearing a dilapidated official uniform, wearing chain mail inside, with an iron helmet on his head, and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general, although he is only a small prefect, but the handsome man gives him face like this, and everyone will not slack off, and the number of courtesies has stepped forward to compliment.

！ Shi Kefa is a member of the Donglin Party, but he has always been on Liu Ziguang's side, he is the prefect of Qingzhou, Liu Ziguang in order to thank him and help him get an errand, this humanities and military shuangquan resolute and decisive, although he is a civilian official, but familiar with military books, practice a good archery, when Hong Chengchou's army conquered Qingzhou and drove it to Qingdao, he began to think about how to deal with the mobile Qing army, with a few sleepless nights, developed such a set of systematic tactics, considered the characteristics of both sides, turned the disadvantage of the Ming army into an advantage, and achieved the purpose of "controlling people but not controlling people". As the saying goes, "The good keeper hides under the nine earths; The Good Attacker moves above the Nine Heavens". With this set of tactics, not only did the officers and troops led by Liu Ziguang win a complete victory, but also the peasant army hastily formed by Shi Kefa also beat the brave and warlike Wang Fuchen's troops out of temper.

This set of tactics was once sent to Xu Zengshou's desk, but it was not taken seriously at all, so it was thrown aside, or Liu Ziguang turned these pieces of paper out from the waste paper pile in the Shuaifu, and it can be regarded as a fate between the two.

Shi Kefa is a smart person, naturally he will not be stupid enough to ask why the things given to Xu Zengshou fell into the hands of Liu Ziguang, everything is for the Qing army, who is not used for it, he was very polite and modest, and let everyone into the handsome account, Liu Ziguang was not allowed to sit on both sides of the generals, and listened to his orders.

Liu Ziguang said: "Dengzhou has been surrounded by my regiment, and the enemy of Wang Fuchen in Shandong will be ten or seven or eight, if the long siege is afraid that the lives will be ruined, the people will suffer, it is better to send a general into the city to persuade Wang Fuchen to surrender, if he is willing to surrender, he will bombard Dengzhou until he surrenders." ”

As soon as Zhou Peigong heard it, he knew that the handsome man was on his own, and hurriedly went out of class and said: "The last general and Wang Fuchen have always made friends, and they are willing to go into the city alone to persuade them to surrender." ”

Liu Ziguang was waiting for him to say this, and immediately said: "In this way, there is General Lao Zhou, if the army is completed without blood, and the commander of Dengzhou is taken, he will definitely ask for merit and merit for you in front of the emperor, and you will be indispensable to you." ”

Zhou Peigong didn't know what Liu Ziguang said in his mouth, whether this emperor was the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty or the Emperor of Gongrong of the Qing Dynasty, but logically speaking, they seemed to be under the name of Emperor Gongrong, alas, and now they can't control that much, Wang Fuchen persuaded him to surrender, it is best to persuade him not to surrender, and he has to take the lead with his own army, no matter what, he has to be hard-headed.

Wang Fuchen was also depressed, this battle was really heartwarming, and was actually surrounded in the city by a group of militias, fortunately, he took advantage of the autumn harvest to rob a lot of wheat, and entered the city to store enough grain to last for a year, but the confidence was insufficient, I heard that the commander of the army had changed people, and Qingzhou Mansion had been surrounded, and the connection between him and Zhou Peigong all relied on flying pigeons to pass the book, and there had been no carrier pigeons flying for several days, could it be that Qingzhou had been broken?

Just puzzled, his subordinates reported that Zhou Peigong had come, Wang Fuchen was shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to welcome him in, and he spoke in the palace, Zhou Peigong was still wearing Qing army clothes, but after coming in, he took off his hat and braided it, and it was gone.

Wang Fuchen said: "Could it be that Pei Gong has already descended? ”

Zhou Peigong smiled and did not answer, Wang Fuchen knew it in his heart, and said: "Could it be that you wrote to persuade you to surrender?" ”

Zhou Pei said fairly: "Brother Feiye is here to save your life." ”
