The moon in the capital is very round and bright, and the moon in Gansu is also very round and bright.

Li Hu was inexplicably upset for more than half a month. There were no Mongols in his defense area, and after Man Ye led the first cavalry division to join the battle group, the Ming army had the ability to react quickly.

As long as the Mongols attacked the outpost with long-barreled cannons, the cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Division would teach them how to behave. After annihilating several waves of enemy troops, the Mongols abandoned this practice of beating dogs with meat buns.

As for the rocket attack posts, they are almost extinct. Perhaps the Mongols also figured out the rockets that had been transported thousands of miles with great difficulty. It takes a dozen to blow up a post, and it's not clear whether there are Ming troops in it.

Even if there is a Ming army, it is only three or five people. Calculating, it takes an average of 100 silver dollars to kill a Ming army. It's so fucking expensive! If this can be fought, the Ming army only needs to carry the bombing, and it can bankrupt Batur Huntaiji.

It stands to reason that the Mongols don't come to make trouble, which is a great thing. I don't know why, Li Hu is so troubled that he can't sleep tonight.

Standing up and putting on his clothes, Li Hu walked out of the tent. When the guard squad saw Li Hu coming out, they immediately cheered up and followed behind.

Ten miles behind him, more than 3,000 migrant workers were building a military camp, which was not much different from a city. The winter in Gansu is not as cold as Liaodong, but the wind and sand are much greater than those in Liaodong. If the troops are stationed here in winter, they will not be able to survive either men or weapons.

The location was chosen by Li Hao, and this kid actually has the ability to look at feng shui. The kid named Xiong Cilu walked around with a compass, and Li Hao pointed to a place and said that it would be the center point of the new city.

Li Hu asked him why, and Li Hao said that there was a spring in that place.

Li Hu didn't believe it, so he found someone to dig it and it was a spring, the spring water was clear and sweet, and it was this water vein these days, providing water for the whole group. There is a shortage of water in the northwest, and in many cases water is more precious than food. I didn't eat for three days, and I was very weak at best. If you don't drink water for three days, you're almost going to hang.

From this incident, Li Hu really saw that the fourth brother had grown up. His face was black, his boots were tattered, and he was covered in wind and frost. He said that he had traveled all over Shanxi and Guanzhong this year, which should be true.

The fourth child is like this, Li Hu is very surprised. Since he was a child, Li Hu looked down on the youngest brother the most. Hungry and lazy all day long and crying nose, timid to death, I have to tremble for a long time when I meet a praying mantis.

I didn't expect that in just a few years, there would be a big success.

That night, Li Hu and Li Hao drank a lot of alcohol. Speaking of the changes in Daming over the years, the brothers hugged and laughed. Talking about the tragic death of their parents and relatives, the brothers cried again with their headaches. Speaking of the encounters over the years, it is full of longing.

The drunken brothers hugged each other and slept all night, and the next morning they got up and parted ways.

Li Hu was going to the front line to lay the barbed wire that had just arrived, while Li Hao was going to continue to survey. For the railway from Guanzhong to Yinchuan, find the most suitable path out.

Li Hu's regimental headquarters was already halfway up Shizui Mountain, and since he couldn't sleep, he simply went directly to Shizui Mountain.

The moon in the sky was big and round, and it hung high in the sky like a silver platter. Under the silver moonlight, you can see ten miles away.

Li Hu is familiar with this place, Shizui Mountain, the north gate of Yinchuan City. The defensive core of the northern part of Yinchuan City, the enemy wants to attack Yinchuan City from the north, and there is only one way to go.

Li Hu's regiment has been stationed in this place for more than half a year, and everyone has come to the dry and hot Gansu from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone seems to have taken off a layer of skin. In half a year, Li Hu has turned Shizui Mountain into a real battle fortress within a radius of ten miles.

Four layers of snake-bellied barbed wire, two stretches of barbed wire. The barbed wire fence was connected into a trench, the edge of the trench was dug diagonally downward, and a roof was added to it to hold it with sleepers.

Every 500 meters, there is an underground cantonment cave. This place in Gansu is a little good, if there is no water vein below, even if you dig more than ten or twenty meters, there will not be a drop of water coming up. Where it is like Jiangnan, the trench is dug two meters deep and water gushes up.

Since there is this benefit, Li Hu will naturally not waste it in vain. The cave was dug to a depth of 10 meters, and the passage and the hole were covered and supported with thick wood. This kind of bunker can't help even heavy rocket artillery.

In front of the position, many stones were placed irregularly. And there are many small pits with thick mouths and a foot deep. This is a trick that the Liao army can use to deal with cavalry, and if the cavalry charges in this kind of area, it is necessary for people to turn their horses on their backs. The horse's hooves are inserted into those small pits, which can be used to break the horse's legs at high speeds.

Coupled with the divine assistance of barbed wire, how many cavalry will come here will be in vain. Not to mention the fact that more than 3,000 mines and directional blasting devices were placed in the middle of the barbed wire.

Landmines are traditional weapons, there's nothing to say about that. Directional blasting devices are interesting, as long as the soldiers light the fuse. This thing will explode, and most interestingly, when it explodes. The steel balls and iron sand filled with it will be sprayed in one direction, and as long as the centaurs are sprayed, it will definitely be full of holes. Even if you don't get blown up, you can still die of pain.

The artillery position was hidden behind the position, so hidden that even Cao Wenzhao, who came to inspect it, did not notice it. Coupled with the only commanding height near Shizuishan, the Mongols will definitely encounter a nose of dust when attacking here.

Cao Wenzhao, who inspected the position, just watched silently, and didn't say anything when he left, just patted Li Hu on the shoulder.

Later, I heard from the people in the division that Cao Wenzhao went back and said that the people of the Li family were born to fight.

Innate? No! Li Hu knew how much he had paid over the years, and his wife and concubine were thrown on Changxing Island, thousands of miles away. I am suffering in this dry Gansu!

The only belief is to think about the day when someone else introduces you. said that this was Commander Li, and the Mongols did not dare to go south. Instead of bowing down to introduce, this is the elder brother of the handsome, Captain Li.

Lao Tzu has today's status in exchange for scars. didn't use the name of the eldest brother to deceive him.

When he was in Jiangnan, Li Hu was holding back his strength. But the people in that place in the south of the Yangtze River are like the ghost weather in that place. It's as soft as a puddle of water, and no matter how you beat it, when your hand is withdrawn, it returns to its original loading.

Every time I fought with those Donglin parties in Jiangnan, it was like punching my fist into a water tank. This feeling almost suffocated Li Hu, and several times, Li Hu wanted to take the soldiers to kill those sour people of the Donglin Party.

came to Gansu to save Li Hu. In the constant tug-of-war with the Mongols, Li Hu enjoyed the joy of war. It should be said that the Mongols were not as tough as the Jurchen Tatars, but they were more cunning than the Jurchens.

The harassment of the long-barreled cannon some time ago made Li Hu very annoyed. His subordinates also began to have casualties, and when Li Hu was at a loss, Man Ye came with his first cavalry division. With the help of the cavalry, Li Hu fought several beautiful battles.

In particular, he commanded the artillery to ambush the long-barreled artillery, and a group of shells blew up the Mongols. The 1st Cavalry Division in the rear pursued closely and killed more than 300 Mongols in that battle. The Mongolian people cried and cried for their mother, and never dared to push the long-barreled cannon to harass them.

Master Man is here, and Nie Dahu from the first division and one regiment is also here. It is said that this goods was supposed to be promoted to deputy division commander, and the orders were given. But this thing was stunned and didn't leave, saying that he would die with his brothers if he died. was scolded by Ao Ye, and had to ask Li Xiao to revoke the order.

More and more elite Liao troops gathered in Gansu, and their intuition told Li Hu that this battle would be fought hard. Otherwise, there would not be such a familiar face running to Gansu, where this bird doesn't.

Li Hu raised his binoculars and admired his carefully arranged position. I was thinking about how I would respond when the Mongols attacked.

Suddenly, Li Hu saw a bright light in the telescope. His eyes immediately shrank to the size of a pin's nose.
