Obviously, this is the dead target that Suarez said, he tested the cannon in advance, hit the amount in advance, took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army's shield car to clean up, gave the opponent a thunderous blow, and then fired a few shots at the wide and heavy infantry phalanx, and completed the task.

"Okay, you have a job now, Yihou asked you to prepare to retreat, and I am here to cover you." Tang Tong said.

Suarez shook his head: "Dear Don, it's good here, the view is clear, and the Tatars like to use that kind of cart, my artillery can easily break them, and from here you can also knock the people of the enemy cart to the ground, you don't see it in the front, another shell took the legs of at least a dozen people, but it's a pity that the boy told me that the man who pushed the cart was not a soldier, but a slave."

But it was also the most wonderful sight I've ever seen. ”

Tang Tong took out the rope from his arms and said, "General Su, this is not a discussion, it is an order. The order of the Marquis of Yi, he authorized me to tie you up with a rope and bring you back if you did not agree to retreat. ”

Suarez got up: "Yes, so to speak, he is willing to accept the tactic I designed for him?" ”

Tang Tong's eyes flashed a little suspicious, because he didn't know what the hell the tactics Suarez was talking about, but Tang Tong realized that this was a good opportunity to persuade him to leave, Tang Tong didn't want to provoke the red man around this righteous marquis, and maybe in the future, his troops would also need Suarez's 'Miss Long Legs' to come a few shots?

"It should be, I think it should be, he had a conversation with our manager, I was far away, but I heard your name." Tang Tong said ambiguously, and Suarez immediately stood up and said: "God testifies, that is definitely the most genius idea, and the best way to defeat the Tatars." ”

As he spoke, Suarez staggered to the artillery company to prepare to retreat, his trademark loud voice sounded like thunder on the hillside, and his voice could be heard throughout the artillery position, knowing that the four-pounder field gun would only deploy a gun every fifteen meters.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, and although the front line was under important pressure, Tang Tong still chose to persuade Suarez that as long as he agreed, Yihou's precious artillerymen could be saved.

And by the time Tang Tong arrived at the front line in armor, the battle was over, Li Laiheng was covered in blood, and when he came, there were blood clots falling from his body, and he said: "General Tang, thank you for your support, otherwise I will have fifty more people under my men." ”

Tang Tong thought that after his arrival, it would be a fierce battle, because before coming, he found that the Qing army had broken through the first line of front and thrown hundreds of armor soldiers into the gap, but now it seems that it was a ploy.

The gap was full of corpses, seven or eight layers, and there were corpses on both sides, and there was a flame that had not been completely extinguished that was still licking and eating the corpses of the dead, and behind the flames, there were layers of corpses, and the air was full of the smell of blood, and there was a moaning sound everywhere.

Tang Tong fought for more than ten years, and it was clear at a glance that the Qing army's breakthrough of the gap was a conspiracy, and when hundreds of people filled it, Li Laiheng immediately ordered to set fire to the blockade, and then killed more than 200 people in the gap.

"Are you here to replace me, I should be under your command." Lee Rae-hyung put away his knife.

Tang Tong shook his head: "No, Yihou asked me to pick you up and go back, there is no need to guard here, there are too many dead and wounded." ”

Li Laiheng looked around him, and the 1,000 elites who followed him to assist in the defense of the artillery position, only half of them were still standing, you know, the Qing army only charged twice.

Tang Tong saw Li Laiheng hesitating, and said: "General Li, the two sides are facing each other, each has its own army, no matter how you do, you can't just fight in this one place." A good man has made great achievements, are you afraid that there will be no chance? ”

Li Laiheng nodded slightly: "I obey the order to retreat, forget the dead, and the wounded must all be brought back." ”

Tang Tong said: "You lead the team to retreat with the artillery first, and I will arrange for the cavalry to be the rear of the palace, if the Dongyu side does not find it, I will also bring back the corpses of our brothers." ”

Half an hour later, Tang Tong also retreated to Zhang Nai's banner, among the people who came down, the people led by Li Laiheng were resting and eating, and Suarez ordered his artillery to go to the second position to arrange, this side-shooting madman chose the second position on a high platform between the right wing and the Chinese army, still a little protruding outside, fortunately, it was only a few dozen steps out, whether it was the Chinese army or the right wing, it could easily receive him.

Zhang Nai, who was shedding his armor in the tent, had at least four wounds on his body, but fortunately they were not fatal.

"You stinky boy, you really don't spare your life." When Zhang Nai, when he saw Li Laiheng, he remembered his younger self, and the same was true when he was in the children's army.

Li Laiheng thanked him again and again, and Tang Tong came in at this time and said: "Yihou, General Li, our wounded have been rescued, Dongyu's head has been cut by more than two hundred and forty, and some are scattered outside. ”

"Seeing that he retreated before rushing to the mountain, the general who led the troops on the opposite side must be a fool." Li Laiheng cooperated with the military doctor to bandage the wound and complained. In the matchup, he also felt that the opponent's tactics were very brainless, just to fight hard.

Zhang Nai said: "Then you are wrong, the other party must be a smart guy, we withdrew, he rushed up, there will be no casualties, and he can tell his superiors that we were beaten away by him." ”

Li Laiheng was noncommittal, and said: "Yihou, the wounds of the humble post are unharmed, and you can go into battle and charge again." ”

Zhang Nai waved his hand: "You don't have to go into battle anymore." ”

"Humble ......." Li Laiheng also had to explain, but he was held down by Zhang Nai, and he said to Tang Tong: "General Tang, have you caught a prisoner?" ”

"Originally, four were caught, but when I arrived at the camp, there were only two people left, listening to the talk, it should be a savage Jurchen." Tang Tong said.

Zhang Nai nodded: "You ordered someone to send the head to the Marquis of Bo, and the two captives were packed up, tied to the carriage, and returned to Beijing with Laiheng." ”

After Tang Tong got the order, he walked out of the camp, and Li Laiheng said: "Yihou, just a small injury, will you drive me back to Beijing?" ”

Zhang Nai said: "You have something important to do. Li Zhaoji sent someone here, the matter is confidential, you personally escort back to Beijing, and maybe you will escort back again. ”

Li Laiheng was puzzled, but he also became serious and no longer insisted on going to the battlefield, the reason is very simple, the communication channel between Dashun and the Oriental Trading Company has been taken care of by Li Laiheng, although Li Zhaoji has provided a lot of help to the Shun army, but there are requirements, and it must be kept secret as much as possible.

"What people, why is it so complicated?"

Zhang Nai said: "Li Zhaoji heard that we went out of Beijing for a decisive battle, and sent envoys, there are eleven people, including the Tang Mu you are familiar with, they asked to meet the emperor, and also made a request, hoping to leave a few people in the army as a ...... What kind of group is coming, by the way, the observation group. ”

Li Laiheng nodded: "Isn't Suarez's observation enough?" ”

Zhang Nai and others all know that Suarez and Li Zhaoji have never cut off contact, and the two sides have been in constant correspondence, and they have never shied away from Zhang Nai and other generals of the Shun army, and even let Zhang Nai review the letters, and the content is mostly related to the war, especially the experience of fighting with Dongyu and some information about Dongyu, obviously this is the task that Suarez received from Li Zhaoji.

Zhang Nai shook his head: "This is not something I can manage, you go to the capital, go and come back quickly." ”

Li Laiheng nodded, and then rushed to the capital with Tang Mu.

At night, Qianqing Palace.

Song Xiance came to the Qianqing Palace, and Li Zicheng was holding the candlestick and was looking at the map, Song Xiance said: "Your Majesty, put on this." ”

Immediately, new candles were inserted on the candlestick, pure white and flawless, and after burning for a while, the Qianqing Palace was brighter, and there was no smell of oil smoke.

"What kind of candle is this?"

"The whale oil candle is one of the gifts brought by Li Zhaoji's messenger, and it is said that it was extracted from the whales that hunted it." Song Xiance said with a smile.

Li Zicheng nodded slightly and said, "Military advisor, what is the meaning of Li Zhaoji's envoy?" ”

Li Zicheng is now the emperor of Dashun, there is nothing important, naturally it will not be easy for people to see, so he asked Song Xiance to meet on his behalf. Song Xiance said: "There are two intentions, one is to worry that we will go out of Beijing to fight a decisive battle with Dongyu Yedi, and we will encounter disadvantages. ”

"That Li Zhaoji takes Dongyu too seriously, and always wants us to fight with him, thinking that being undefeated is victory, which is really ridiculous." Li Zicheng said lightly, and then asked, "Can you inform the envoy of our military strategy?" ”

Song Xiance shook his head: "Without the emperor's permission, how dare Weichen do this?" It is a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of brothers, how can this kind of secret be told to outsiders? ”

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "What about the second one?" ”

Song Xiance said: "The second thing is to ask us if Dashun needs his help." ”

"Oh, it's interesting, how did he make a move, and what conditions did he make?" Li Zicheng asked.

Song Xiance said: "What he means is that when necessary, his soldiers and horses can cross the sea to attack Liaodong and force the Qing army to return to help, but we need to reimburse the cost of sending troops in Dashun and provide reward silver, and the appetite is not small, this is just that, Weichen listened to the envoy's meaning, they were very confident, as if their thousands of people could do something great." ”

"See, he, Li Zhaoji, is still too pessimistic about our Dashun, thinking that we are not Dongyu's opponents." Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "You tell the envoy that the observation group or something like that, you can let them go to the camp of Marquis Yihou of Bo, let them see the ability of my Dashun Wangshi, and when they have seen it, they will know whether our Dashun will need their help." ”

Song Xiance nodded because he thought in his heart that the emperor had fallen for Li Zhaoji's radical method, and in the name of providing assistance, the emperor allowed the observation group to exist, but at this time, Song Xiance was not easy to debunk.
