The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, the 19th day of the first month.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Li Yuanqing led a large army to gather outside the east gate of Ningyuan City, preparing to enter the city.

Because he had reached a compromise with governor yuan last night, Ningyuan garrison did not make much trouble for the children of Changsheng camp. Instead, he was busy and hard-working.

Originally, Li Yuanqing thought that this was governor yuan's greeting to the general in advance. However, as soon as he saw Wu Xiang, the general guard of the east gate, they chatted with each other, and Li Yuanqing understood the gist.

Governor yuan always kept a strong guard against him, that is, the camp of Changsheng was also close to the east gate.

However, according to the terrain of Ningyuan City, we can also understand that the narrow terrain outside the east gate and the proximity to the sea make it impossible to serve as the main battlefield, or even the sub battlefield.

Wu Xiang also found that Li Yuanqing's expression was not very pleasant. He explained carefully: "Li Shuai, Ningyuan city is no better than other places. Both inside and outside are soaked with the painstaking efforts of Lord yuan. Therefore, in terms of defense, Mr. Yuan may have been a bit harsh. But at this time, when the enemy is in front of him, you can't help but be inferior to him! "

As a "disciple" of Mr. Yuan, it is quite good for Wu Xiang to put his words to this point.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "brother Wu, for Yuan's great talent and great strategy, Yuan Qing is extremely admired. In this battle, one of them has eyes and ears. "

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was so aware of the general situation, Wu Xiang could not help but feel a little relieved and said with a smile: "Li Shuai's wisdom is admired by his humble position. Li Shuai, at this time, the war is coming, and the dog is also rubbing his hands. At that time, Li Shuai will be able to point out the dog one or two! "

Li Yuanqing burst out laughing: "elder uncle, the child, likes it very much. When the camp is settled, let him come to see me. "

Wu Xiang was overjoyed and said with a smile, "if Li Shuai is here, Ningyuan city will have no worries."

………

With the help of Wu Xiang, a local villain, the camp and settlement of the Changsheng camp were smoother after they entered the city.

However, although the east gate was the defense area of Wu Xiang, in this area, Wu Xiang had only one garrison with a guerrilla rank. The main defense regulations of Ningyuan city were still in the north gate and the west gate, which was the most likely direction of attack by the main force of the later Jin Dynasty.

The camp is located in a small school, which is afraid to be less than the regulation of the general manager. It covers an area of about four or five acres. However, it is difficult to accommodate these 7500 people.

Fortunately, Ningyuan is a pure military city. In the area adjacent to the gate and the wall, the streets are very wide and there are a lot of reserved spaces in advance. In addition, the children of the long-term camp carry their military accounts very well. After some simple coordination, they soon set up camp in accordance with the regulations.

Although he had to pay for the food, he had to pay for the fire.

Li Yuanqing thought that he would have to go to governor yuan again, but he didn't know much about it. Wu Xiang already had dozens of chariots of charcoal fire. In addition, the reservation in the original camp was enough for the children of Changsheng camp to cope with more than ten days.

Just after settling down here, Wu Sangui, dressed in his own military clothes, quietly came to the camp to "report for duty.".

"My nephew Wu Sangui, I've met Uncle Li. He's in good health and has a bright future."

After a long time without seeing him, Wu Sangui has grown up a lot, and he can reach Li Yuanqing's nose.

He was also strong and strong. Although he was still a little immature, his eyes were firm, and his noble son's arrogance was undoubtedly full of youthful vigor.

According to the virtual age of China, this boy is fifteen years old this year, and he is a big and small boy.

"Uncle, you are here. pretty good. Very good! "

Li Yuanqing slapped Wu Sangui on the shoulder with a smile, indicating that he would sit aside.

Wu Sangui respectfully saluted Li Yuanqing: "Uncle Shi has traveled thousands of miles, and I am very grateful to you for coming to Ningyuan city to rescue you. The eldest uncle treats Ningyuan's 100000 father and father, and thanks his uncle for his righteousness. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "uncle, you are very good. Really grow up! I accept your thanks. Come on, sit down. "

"Yes. Thank you, uncle

At the end of the formal process, Wu Sangui recovered some children's temperament and sat on the bench beside him with a smile.

This kind of occasion, Xiaolian and they all go inside to clean up the house, naturally will not be exposed easily.

Li Yuanqing took a sip of tea with a smile from his soldiers. Looking at Wu Sangui, he said, "Changbo, what do you think of the old slave's invasion of the hinterland of western Liaoning Province this time?"

As Li Yuanqing was at this time, he and a teenage boy wanted to talk about military affairs, which might become a laughing stock for others.

But at this time, the hairy boy in front of him is Wu Sangui, who is famous. Li Yuanqing also wants to take an examination of him to see how this general born with a golden spoon is different from ordinary people!

Wu Sangui seemed to have been prepared for it. He bowed his hand to Li Yuanqing, and then he said, "uncle, let's take a look at my nephew. Although JianNu is coming fiercely, it may not be able to become a climate. "Wu Sangui said, respectfully but without fear, looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes.

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing faint smile, also came to interest, "talk about your idea."

"Yes."

Seeing that Li Yuanqing's interest was successfully mentioned, Wu Sangui also came to the spirit and said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, my little nephew visited Shenyang and Liaoyang, including the later Guangning battle. The reason why JianNu was so smooth was that he was able to capture the strong cities like Daming. One of the reasons was that there were thieves inside. Shenyang, Liaoyang and Guangning are the same. But Ningyuan -- "

Wu Sangui stopped for a moment and said with a confident smile:" Uncle Shi, although Ningyuan city has been established for a short period of less than three years, its city is strong, its walls are high, the army and the people are one mind, and the materials are abundant, far from being comparable to those cities mentioned above. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, but said, "the old slave has more than 100000 troops, all of which are the elite of the eight banners. I'm afraid that's not enough just for what you said!"

Wu Sangui said with a smile, "Uncle Shi, that's what he said. However, in the battlefield, whoever is strong is not sure to win. At this time, although our troops were small, they were united as one, just like the old slaves who defeated our Daming in Sarhu. Who can tell the final outcome before the last moment? "

Li Yuanqing laughed: "uncle, I haven't seen you for several years. You really make me look different! Good! That's good! However, you must know that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books! The art of war and the situation are of course important. However, the real implementation is still the children under his command! Therefore, even if you have made a comprehensive strategy, you can't be careless in the implementation

………

After chatting with Wu Sangui for more than an hour and having lunch together, Li Yuanqing's mood was also brought up by his youthful vigor.

In the afternoon, manchui's soldiers came over and invited Li Yuanqing to visit his camp.

Li Yuanqing thought about it for a moment, and he took Wu Sangui with him.

To a large extent, Wu Sangui is indeed a criminal of the Chinese nation, but there are too many entanglements.

But at this time, Wu Sangui is still a child, can be regarded as a piece of white paper.

For Guan Ning general, Li Yuanqing was obviously unable to intervene too much. However, Wu Sangui was like a "small door", giving Li Yuanqing an opportunity to "reach in".

Wu Sangui is naturally very happy.

Although he was a powerful young man in the army of guanning, it was a pity that manchui and their generals could not easily urinate in one pot. But at this time, for some reasons, Manchu was the highest military system in Ningyuan City, which was two levels higher than that of his Laozi Wuxiang.

Wu Xiang was only a general of the Chinese army, but at this time, man GUI was the Deputy commander-in-chief of Ningyuan.

Wu Sangui also wanted to see what kind of military appearance manchui was.

Simply clean up, a group of people came to the north of the city manchui camp.

Manchui had been waiting here for a long time, exchanged greetings, and directly led Li Yuanqing and his party to the head of Beicheng to inspect his defense in this section.

At this time, although there was no accurate information about the main force of the post Jin army in Ningyuan, the post Jin sentries, who roamed from time to time, had often appeared around Ningyuan City, and the defense level of Ningyuan city was basically raised to the highest level.

It was governor yuan himself, who spent most of the day sitting and patrolling in various defense areas at the head of the city.

At the head of the city, the soldiers had been waiting for it, and many civilians, under the call of the officers, kept coming and going back and forth carrying all kinds of strategic materials to the head of the city.

With a glance, Li Yuanqing already has a general idea.

Governor Yuan said that "1000" and "Dao 10000" were the most traditional defensive strategies adopted by the Ming army in terms of specifications and lineups. Basically, there was no innovation.

The only thing to be thankful for is that his inspection is indeed very strict. There are full-time civil servants sitting in every small section of the city wall.

If we want to say that it is different from the tradition, the biggest difference is that in the city area, those red cannon are firmly covered under the red cloth.

Wu Sangui is obviously very interested in this cannon in red. However, even for Manchu, this treasure is also a forbidden area, and the party is obviously not qualified to explore.

Fortunately, although Wu Sangui was young, his self-control ability was quite good. He did not add any trouble to Li Yuanqing and man GUI. He cleverly followed them, only watching, but not talking much.

After slipping around the city wall, they came to a place on the northwest side of the city wall to escape from the wind. Manchui said with a smile, "Yuanqing, how do you feel? Brother, is this defense still in place? "

With a smile, Li Yuanqing tightened his deerskin hat on his head, avoiding the cold north wind coming from the head, and said with a smile: "brother GUI, the defense is good. But the key is to keep it. We must connect the points into a line to make sure that we can quickly make up for the problems in the first time! "

Although Li Yuanqing was not the main general in this trip, he had cooperated with Li Yuanqing in dajianshan before, and manchui had already deeply understood Li Yuanqing's strength.Therefore, to Li Yuanqing's suggestion, manchui also attached great importance to it. He quickly nodded and said, "Yuanqing, you can rest assured that I will learn from the patrol strategy of Changsheng camp. The night patrol soldiers will work in three shifts and try to avoid any defects."

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, but left the hanging house, facing the cold north wind, came to the top of the wall, drilled into the crenels, and explored the scene under the city.

At this time, it was the middle of the first month, the second half of the coldest winter. Although there was no snow these days, the wind was like a knife, blowing on people like a knife. It was almost impossible for people to open their eyes.

Li Yuanqing forced himself to investigate for a minute or two, and then he couldn't help but retreat quickly.

At this time, the city's wide moat has been frozen solid, the ground is afraid to be frozen into a ball.

Although the performance of inspector yuan is not bad in all aspects, unfortunately, he is still too young.

He doesn't understand the true meaning of defense.

Especially for the Jin army after the war.

Li Yuanqing had already had some practical experience in fighting with the later Jin army for many times.

If you want to guard against the attack of the Jin army and maximize the power of the red cannon, the defense at the head of the city is secondary, but the most important thing is to work hard in the city.

Dig more gullies and pits, such as resisting horses, iron thistles, and even fragments of pottery pots. The more, the better.

Only by limiting the speed of pushing earth and filling ditches can the power of red cannon be brought into full play and the advantage of Ming army can be played out.

Fortunately, although governor yuan didn't work hard in the city, it was freezing and the weather conditions were extremely bad. Even if the Jin Army wanted to push earth and fill the ditch, he had to pay a lot of energy.

Li Yuanqing also had to lament that "the current situation makes heroes." governor yuan's luck is really hard to say!

At this time, man GUI just wanted to ask Li Yuanqing what he was looking at on the crenels, but behind him, some soldiers quickly came to report: "Lord yuan is coming!"
