The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

Wang Wu didn't expect the stories he had read in his previous life to impress Niu Wancheng anyway, and he didn't expect Niu Wancheng to understand why someone should persist like him.

However, Niu Wancheng revealed an important piece of information, that is, Mulima, the general of Qingjingxi, would launch a general attack on the Maolu Mountain base area on the second day of February.

Therefore, there is not much time left for the Ming military war.

Where is the direction of the Qing army's main attack, and what are the main attacking soldiers and horses, Wang Wu is not clear about these important information.

Because Niu Wancheng doesn't know.

I know that I probably won't say it.

After all, he Niu Wancheng did not collaborate with the enemy, but only used each other.

Wang Wu's analysis may have something to do with the fact that the offensive was led by the Manchurian Eight Banners from Beijing, rather than being formulated by Huguang.

All he can do now is to do everything he can to improve his combat readiness.

In particular, special attention was paid to the more than thirty artillery pieces that were pulled up the mountain.

Artillery is a professional branch of the army, the technical content is quite high, and the gunner is more valuable than the infantry and cavalry.

At that time, the reason why the Qing army was able to defeat the Ming army without the ability to parry was because the Qing army's high-level attached great importance to artillery, and built an artillery unit called "Wuzhen Chaoha" with the surrender of the Han army as the main investment.

With the suppression of Wuzhen Chaoha's firepower, the Qing army was able to grow step by step and finally enter the customs to steal China.

This is completely different from the previous life when some people thought that the Qing army relied on cavalry and archery to fight the world.

In the area of firearms, the Qing army was already one level higher than the Ming army.

It's just that there are not too many gunners under Wang Wu's subordinates who can fire cannons, and there are only a dozen of them, and these dozen people can only operate a few cannons.

Helplessly, Wang Wu selected gunners from among the captives, but he didn't expect that there were many Qing gunners hidden among the captives, more than 50 people.

There was also a sentinel among them.

That is, the commander of the artillery company.

At the age of sixteen, he joined the new army trained by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai in the Ming Dynasty, and became a gunner.

After Kong Youde's Wuqiao Mutiny, the new army built by Sun Yuanhua went bankrupt.

However, Wang Dazhu did not cross the sea with Kong Youde and others to reduce gold, but followed Zuo Liangyu. Later, he descended with Zuo Mengeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu.

Because people have a bad temper and often offend their superiors, the result is that they are in their forties, and they are just a small sentinel. Many of the gunners in Zuo Liangyu's army who were with him back then were promoted to generals and deputy generals.

After the death of Guo Yi, the deputy general of Mu Shenghui's artillery battalion, Wang Dazhu and the remnants of the gunners were surrounded by the Ming army, and they were killed and wounded.

In desperation, Wang Dazhu had no choice but to surrender to the Ming army with the remaining gunners, and was escorted into the Beiting Village by the Ming army with the captive team.

These days, he has been helping the Ming army strengthen the fortifications and doing some manual work of lifting wood and moving stones.

Soon, the former commander of the artillery company of the Green Battalion and a group of gunners were brought to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu didn't say much to these captives, only asked them if they would open fire.

After getting a positive answer, Wang Wu waved his hand and said, "After you finish this battle for me, I will let you go back and never break your word!" ”

Hearing this, all the gunners were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, although there is no expression or words, but there is nothing unwilling to do.

Who doesn't have a wife or children?

Who wants to die in this hellish place?

Wang Wu asked Cao Diwei to take these green battalion gunners to the gun emplacements to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Another gunner is assisted by two auxiliary gunners, and two more broadswordmen are assigned to each gun position.

If these captives dare to play fake guns with him, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

A few days later, news came from the main village.

Mulima sent Li Youshi, the chief soldier of the previous Qing Dynasty, to persuade Hu Shuai to surrender, saying that as long as Hu Shuai was willing to surrender, the Qing court would not hesitate to reward the duke, and could give Hu Shuai and other senior generals the honor of raising the flag, and serve as the commander and deputy commander of the Han army.

In addition, as long as the Ming army was willing to go to the dreadlocks, Mulima even allowed the Ming army to move to Jingzhou and Wuchang as a whole without being disrupted.

This condition cannot be said to be unfavorable, nor can it be said that there is no sincerity.

But as soon as the lobbyist Li Youshi finished saying the conditions, he was pushed out and beheaded by Hu Shuai.

Since ancient times, the two countries have fought against each other.

Hu Shuai broke this rule, he was telling Mu Lima clearly, and also telling all the soldiers and civilians in this Maolu Mountain base area - he Li Lai Hengning would not surrender!

The news spread to the villages, and the morale of the army was boosted.

Fight to the death, there is no room for anything!

On the 27th, Tian Wen said that he had found something good in the river below the terraced fields in the distance, and asked Wang Wu to go over and take a look.

After arriving at the place, he found that the treasure that Tian Wen said was a huge stone grinding disc placed on the river.

During the dry season, there is not much water in the river, but in the summer, when the water is abundant, the stream will rush down to drive the stone mill to rotate, which can not only help the people remove the rice husk, but also grind the flour.

In Maolu Mountain, which lacks labor production tools, this stone mill is undoubtedly a treasure for military and civilian production, but Wang Wu doesn't understand what Tian Wen wants him to see this thing for.

You can't bring this big guy with you when you break out.

Tian Wen means that this stone mill can be carried to the stockade and then fixed above the main road leading to the stockade.

"If the Qing army breaks through the defensive point in front of us, we will push this stone mill down at that time, and at least we can crush him to death dozens of armored soldiers!"

Tian Wen excitedly slapped the stone mill covered with moss.

There is a huge difference between the top and bottom of the stele pavilion village, and if you really want to carry this stone mill up and down the village as an attack weapon, not to mention the double-armored soldiers, even if you wear ten sets of iron armor, you have to be crushed into meat foam.

And the Qing soldiers who can even break through several defense points in front of them must be elites who are not afraid of death, so Wang Wu agreed to put the stone mill on the stockade without thinking about it.

asked Liu Yuan, who was with him as a herald, to go back to the village and ask someone to pull the stone mill back.

However, this stone mill weighs hundreds of pounds, and the mountain road is steep, so there are not hundreds of people who are afraid that they will not be able to move.

As soon as the matter of the stone mill was dealt with here, Zhao Jinzhong, who was in charge of the first line of defense, sent someone to urgently report that there was movement in the Qing army's defense line opposite.

Didn't Niu Wancheng say that the Qing army would attack on a large scale on the second day of the second month of February, that is, five days later, why did it move now?

Wang Wu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people back to the village, came to the defense line that Zhao Jinzhong was in charge of, picked up the clairvoyant mirror that Yuan Zongdi gave him, and looked ahead.

In the line of sight, the mountains behind the Niu Wancheng defense line were full of Qing troops who were setting up tents.

A large number of people are pushing and pulling artillery pieces and vehicles full of food and supplies to the material distribution center behind the defense line.

Is it the Green Camp or the Eight Flags?

Wang Wu didn't know which part of the Qing army arrived at the Niu Wancheng defense line, and how many people there were, but when he was confused, yellow flags, white flags, blue flags, and red flags suddenly appeared in the camera!

Behind the military flag, a large group of Eight Banner soldiers wearing armor and pointed helmets were coming from far and near, and the long line could not be seen at a glance.

As the distance narrowed, Wang Wu saw a large banner embroidered with the words "General Jingxi".

Mulima!

Wang Wu's heart sank, could it be that he is the main direction of attack of the Qing army here?
