All the generals became curious, but when they saw Luo Xin's face was serious and his mouth was tightly shut, they didn't dare to ask each other, they could only keep guessing in their hearts.

Luo Xin's eyes suddenly focused, and he saw a scout team galloping towards the city outside the city, entered the city, and soon came to Luo Xin.

"Report, Mr. Ma's troops will arrive in the capital in the early hours of tomorrow."

As soon as the scout's voice fell, the generals couldn't help but let out a commotion.Everyone knew in their hearts that since Ma Fang's defeated army would reach the capital in the early morning of tomorrow, it would not be long before Huang Taiji's army approached the city.

Seeing the commotion of the generals, Luo Xin frowned slightly, and glanced at the past coldly, the generals felt a chill in their hearts, and immediately fell silent.And when they saw Luo Xin's cold eyes, they also felt Luo Xin's calmness, which calmed their flustered hearts.After calming down, they felt that they were timid in front of Luo Xin, and they couldn't help but blush.

At this time, these generals in front of Luo Xin are like students in front of the teacher, waiting for the teacher to punish them.Seeing that all of them lowered their heads, Luo Xin did not reprimand them, but turned his eyes on the scout and said:
"Have you seen Master Ma?"

"seen."

"Do you know how many troops Master Ma still has?"

"Less than six thousand!"

The faces of all the generals turned pale, and panic appeared in their eyes.Ma Fangna was also a famous general of Ming Dynasty. Before Luo Xin was born, Ma Fang was the number one general of Ming Dynasty. At that time, Qi Jiguang had no reputation.However, it was such a famous general who had an army of 5000, but in the end Huang Taiji broke through Datong, killing him so that there are only more than [-] people left by his side.

Can Luo Xin really hold the capital?

"How far is Huang Taiji behind Lord Ma?"

"Huang Taiji didn't follow closely behind Mr. Ma, he just sent a small group of cavalry to chase and kill the rout. His army is massacring the counties and villages around Datong and robbing all kinds of supplies."

Luo Xin's face turned livid, this Huang Taiji was really ready to slaughter the country, presumably all the people of Ming Dynasty around Datong had been killed by him.Taking a deep breath, he silently calculated that even if Huang Taiji had already started to leave Datong and approached the capital, the speed of the army would not be too fast, at least he would give Luo Xin five days to prepare.

Luo Xin stared there thinking, the surroundings were silent, all eyes were focused on Luo Xin.

"call……"

Luo Xin let out a long breath, leaned on the city wall, looked in the direction of Datong, and whispered:
"Huang Taiji, how can I just beat you? I want your head."

Although his voice was soft, in the silence, all the generals behind him could hear it clearly.He couldn't help but his expression lifted, and he looked at Luo Xin's back with burning eyes.

"Order Ma Fang, after arriving in the capital, the army will set up camp outside the city, and he will come to see the official immediately by himself."

"Yes!"

The scout's heart skipped a beat, and he took the order and left.The eyes of all the generals were a little flickering, each of them secretly said in their hearts:

"Could it be that Luo Xin intends to take Ma Fang under the knife? Or has His Majesty issued a secret decree that as soon as Ma Fang arrives, he will be arrested and thrown into prison?"

Luo Xin stood there silently again, his brows gradually wrinkled, and the frowns became tighter and tighter.Tonight, he will lead the craftsmen of the Armament Department to pop out of the city with thunderbolts, connect those thunderbolts with bamboo tubes, and use them as land mines.Give Huang Taiji a blow to the head.

Of course, he also knew that this would not cause too many casualties to Huang Taiji, because he could not wait for Huang Taiji to set up camp before detonating the land mines, because he would find the land mines under the ground when Huang Taiji set up camp, so he could only Before Huang Taiji set up camp, the effect would be much worse.

This is Luo Xin thinking of taking the initiative to attack, but he has not come up with a better idea in terms of defense, and Luo Xin knows that there may only be one time to take the initiative to attack, and Da Ming will be on the defensive for the next few months, so defense is the only way to defend. is the top priority.

but……

How can the defense become more stable?
At this moment, Luo Xin's brain was aching from thinking about it. He took a deep breath and calmed down his anxious mood. In Luo Xin's previous life, he was a historian, not a military strategist. His knowledge of war was limited. At this time, some donkey skills are really exhausted.As a last resort, he began to recall the war movies he watched in his previous life. Although he knew that movies were fake, he could only find inspiration from the movies he watched in his previous life.

"Barbed wire!"

Luo Xin flashed countless movie shots of World War II, without exception, every movie had barbed wire. From the movies, he could see that the barbed wire in the fortifications was the nightmare of infantry, but after tanks appeared later, , the barbed wire lost its power.

Luo Xin began to look at the city wall, and began to gesticulate on the city wall with his fingers. Everyone behind him looked at him curiously, not knowing what he was doing there.

Luo Xin had already formed a clear impression in his mind at this time, to make a batch of 45-meter-long iron rods, bend them into a [-]-degree angle one meter from the upper end, and then insert the iron rods on the city wall, pointing the upper ends towards the outside of the city wall. , Insert one on the city wall at a certain distance, and then hang the barbed wire on it, lay it down from the upper end to the corner, and roll up the rest.

In this way, there is more than one meter of space from the corner to the city wall. Shooting arrows from this space, throwing logs and rocks will not delay. The barbed wire fence was pulled down and fixed on the city wall, thus forming a complete barbed wire fence.

In this way, if the grassland tribes wanted to attack the city, they had to climb over the barbed wire.But the barbed wire is not straight, but bent outward at 45 degrees. It is extremely difficult to climb over such a barbed wire, and the soldiers of Ming Dynasty will not watch them climb the barbed wire. The letter was going to be bigger so that the spear could pass through the barbed wire.

Moreover……

Isn't this the time for the Shenji Camp to show off its power?

The Shenji Camp is actually the Musket Camp, but the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were really not very powerful, not very accurate, and the speed was slow.

However, with barbed wire it is different.

Those people from the grassland tribes were hanging on the barbed wire fence, and Da Ming's Shenji Battalion could put the muzzle of their guns on the opponent's body and shoot.
