As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when he stretches out his hand, Yuan Chonghuan also smiled in return, owes himself, still maintains his posture, and responds loudly: "Deputy Chief Shen, I really look up to him for a long time." Before Yuan arrived in Beijing, he heard your name and served the court as a weak crown. The imperial court did not allocate one or two lines of silver, and Shen recruited more than 1,000 soldiers. With such appeal, you can't be admired. ”

While speaking, Yuan Chonghuan raised the reins, drove the horse forward slowly, and the words changed, and then asked: "Deputy Chief Shen, I have heard that Your Excellency learned from a mysterious old Taoist in his early years, learned Taoism, understood the book of soldiers, and is good at arranging troops, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

At the beginning, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and Wang Chengyin did not bother to talk to Shen Fu, and faintly had the same temperament as Man Gui, and they were very repulsive, looking down on this person who did not have the slightest military exploits, but climbed to the position of deputy commander-in-chief.

However, when they heard Yuan Chonghuan's words, they were all slightly stunned, and then they showed curiosity on their faces, put away their contempt, and looked at Shen Fu at the same time, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Inspector Yuan, I smiled. In his early years, the last general was indeed an old teacher, but it was not mysterious. Moreover, what kind of tricks there are in this world are all deceptive tricks, but some special uses of gunpowder. As for following the old way to learn the art of war, there is indeed such a thing. ”

When Shen Fu answered, Yuan Chonghuan's reaction was still very flat, but he nodded like this. However, when the other party talked about some special uses of gunpowder, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found some kind of treasure.

As for Zu Dashou and He Kegang, how similar are their reactions to Yuan Chonghuan? They resisted Houjin in Liaodong, but they knew the power of gunpowder, and if they used it properly in military affairs, they could win more with less and achieve a surprising victory!

Therefore, when Shen Fu talked about gunpowder, how could the four of them not shine in their eyes? A person who knows how to use gunpowder is far better than the role of a deputy commander-in-chief.

However, although Yuan Chonghuan had great expectations for Shen Fu and was very interested, he still remained calm and had returned to normal, and asked loudly: "Oh, Deputy General Shen knows how to use gunpowder?" I don't know what are the usages? ”

Although he didn't see the huge change in the attitude of the three of Zu Dashou before and after, Shen Fu still sensitively caught Yuan Chonghuan's subtle change in expression, and was very interested in gunpowder. Especially the latter knows himself very well, unusually polite, without the arrogance and aggressiveness of Man Gui, and he has a good impression.

Therefore, when Shen Fu accompanied Yuan Chonghuan to slowly walk towards Guangqumen, he was also telling some of his understanding of the use of gunpowder.

"Lord Qiyu, Lord Yuan, the use of gunpowder that the last general knows is to wrap the gunpowder in iron sheets, and bury it with mud as for the ground. Once the enemy army passes by, it can be detonated very well. Because when the gunpowder explodes, it has a huge impact force, and it can tear the iron sheet apart in an instant. And the explosive power of gunpowder and the destructive power when the iron sheet flies out can cause great damage to the enemy. ”

"Moreover, like the combination of tiger squat cannon and firearm, how to effectively block the enemy, the last general knows a little."

At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan is no longer so simple as being interested, but really feels that he has picked up a treasure and obtained a rare talent.

With the intention of loving talents, he temporarily recognized Shen Fu, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but have the idea of taking the exam in his heart, and even asked: "Deputy General Shen, if you are allowed to participate in the battle to defend Guangqumen, how do you want your troops to join the army?" What kind of role? ”

Hearing this, Shen Fu suddenly became excited. This is the first good news since he was named deputy commander-in-chief. However, this excited light only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a bitter melon face, and looked at the front and his troops bitterly, and said helplessly and sincerely: "My lord, you must also know that these soldiers under my command have only five days of enlistment in the army, and they have no military quality at all, let alone the use of firearms. To be able to understand the orders of the battlefield, the last general is very happy. ”

"Well, this Shen Fu still has some self-knowledge and is not so arrogant." Yuan Chonghuan nodded, and while secretly saying in his heart, the expression of appreciation on his face became even stronger, waiting for the other party's next words.

When Shen Fu paused a little lonely, he saw Yuan Chonghuan's approving eyes, as well as the nod of approval, as if he had received great encouragement, and straightened his chest, as if he was encouraging himself, and as if he was organizing language, he set his eyes on a small forest on the north side of Guangqu Gate.

"My lord, if you have to let the last general arrange for his subordinates to participate in the battle, so that they will not be held back, and they can provide some assistance, and even defeat the Houjin army, the last will arrange them there."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fu pointed to the grove with great certainty, and his eyes were full of excitement, as if there was infinite strength to support his self-confidence!

Yuan Chonghuan raised his eyebrows, followed the direction of Shen Fu's finger, and also looked at the grove over there, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Oh, Deputy Chief Shen, how do you say this?" ”

It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, how to arrange his troops to fight, Shen Fu said slowly: "My lord, the soldiers under the last general have not undergone training, and they are all from some poor families in the market. Therefore, it is very unrealistic for them to fight head-on with the fierce barbarians, and they can only take advantage of their own strengths and defeat the enemy's shortcomings. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's impression of Shen Fu was a little better, and he was even more curious, and couldn't help asking, "What are your strengths?" The enemy's shortcoming? What do you mean by that? ”

At this moment, Shen Fu was already very confident, as if he had a bamboo in his chest, and replied eloquently: "My lord, the advantage of the barbarians is nothing more than the powerful charging power of the cavalry, which is extremely destructive. And the last general's subordinates are some unfought recruits, and if they want to defeat the barbarian soldiers, they can only disintegrate the advantage of the Houjin cavalry. ”

At this time, Zu Dashou seemed to have guessed some of Shen Fu's intentions, and questioned: "Even if Houjin's soldiers break into the woods, there are no war horses. However, don't forget, they are all battle-hardened people, not those of your soldiers can fight, why did you defeat the Houjin army? Moreover, they are far greater in number than you. ”

However, Shen Fu did not have the slightest sense of being struck, and the confidence on his face did not fade at all, and after Zu Dashou finished speaking, he immediately replied: "This general, I not only want to take advantage of the momentum of the woods, but also plant enough explosives on the ground. As soon as the explosives are detonated, the woods will be filled with smoke, and it will be impossible to distinguish friend from foe, and then it will be time for my soldiers to play to their advantage. ”

When it comes to this, the meaning is already very obvious, Shen Fu is full of ambition, and the others are also proud.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan stopped, a long distance, about a few hundred meters, still riding a horse, looking straight at Guangqumen, and said loudly: "Deputy Chief Shen, you and Wang Chengyin are responsible for guarding the northwest direction of Guangqumen. ”

Yuan Chonghuan did not continue, but stopped, looked back at Zu Dashou and He Kegang, and ordered: "Zu Dashou, He Kegang, you lead six thousand cavalry to be stationed in the south of Guangqumen, responsible for the right flank. ”

"Wang Chengyin, you lead 5,000 cavalry and Deputy General Shen to guard the northwest, responsible for the left flank. Once the strength is not enough, and the Houjin army cannot be defeated, while moving closer to me, lead the Houjin army to the woods as much as possible, and let Deputy General Shen annihilate them. ”

"As for this division and the remaining 9,000 cavalry, they will sit in the west and present a zigzag formation with you to jointly defend the Guangqu Gate."

There is no doubt that such a troop arrangement is the best choice, and He Kegang couldn't help nodding frequently: "In this way, the three are in a zigzag formation, which can be attacked, and the rout is pursued; The retreat can be defended, and there is the artillery on the city wall as a cover. Moreover, once the Houjin army attacks that side, the other two sides can give good support. ”

At this moment, Shen Fu's heart was surging at the same time, but he was secretly glad that fortunately he didn't follow the conceited guy of Man Gui and die to save face.

The cavalry combat effectiveness of the Houjin Army is not boastful, it is very strong. What's more, there are so many people coming, and there are Mongolian cavalry, and the enemy army is several times larger than itself, how can you fight hard?

This thought flashed in Shen Fu's mind, and then he no longer cared about the Desheng Gate guarded by Man Gui and Hou Shilu, and began to think in his heart, how to arrange his soldiers in the woods to annihilate the enemy army as much as possible?
