Chapter 449: The Mysterious Letter Comes Again(1/2)
“Woo woo…”
Early the next morning, the main force of the refugee army launched a fierce bulldozing offensive.
Against the backdrop of the snow-white frost, more than 20,000 refugees were hungry, one after another, and as glorious as ants, gradually pushing the battle formation to more than three miles away from the Model Army camp, and began to burn fire and smoke the ground, preparing to excavate fortifications.
For a moment, the world covered with frost and whiteness rose everywhere, and the pungent smell spread rapidly in the air.
"Da da da da da da da da da..."
Soon, thousands of elite cavalry led two or three thousand war horses to expand in front of the model army and launched a yelling attack again.
"Lord, the thief is a little proactive today."
On the Central Army's observation stage, the refugee army struggled for a long time. Xu Changqing had just arrived, and Li Yan hurried over to report.
"Um."
Xu Changqing responded, squinted his eyes and looked at the offensive of the refugee army.
Last night, Xu Changqing was just dealing with business, so he was ready to pinch his nose. After all, the deep palace and courtyard have been going on for decades. The water is too deep, so it is not surprising that there is no dark history.
How did Eunuch Wei get to power back then?
Didn’t it that Wei Chao, the old prime minister of Keshi, drove away, and acted as his “food” target?
But what surprised Xu Changqing was that the two palace maids Tao Hong and Xiao Ye who he accidentally caught were very clean and clean.
Moreover, I have been raising it in the deep palace courtyard. The two women have excellent skin and figures, far from the appearance of the bloated palace clothes on the outside. After washing them, their faces are much more beautiful than usual, and they are more proficient in secret techniques.
Especially Taohong, who is already twenty-eight, entered the palace at the age of eleven. She not only served the passers-by, but also served Tianqi, and was really proficient in many secrets in the palace.
This also made Xu Changqing understand why these two girls dared to come to her side, and they all had their own confidence!
Then again, if the two women were incompetent and unclean, how could they come to Zhu Meiyu to serve her?
After savoring for a while, Xu Changqing gathered his energy again and focused his attention in front of him.
The thief is still quite large today.
It stretches for five or six miles.
To bake soil at such a large scale, the firewood consumed alone is astronomical.
The old saying goes: "Food, rice, oil and salt."
At this time, firewood is an important resource, and even a core resource that is directly related to life and death.
Although Xu Changqing had already had some reserves and brought a lot of coal and wood before, there were basically no forests in the hinterland of the capital. The model army is now restricted and has to save money.
Even though Li Zicheng had a wider space at this time, he had to work at least several times the labor to get so much firewood.
And in the provocation, the caution of the refugee army could be clearly felt.
In the past, the tactic of cursing was basically to hit the face. If you could reach 150 or even 100 steps, you had to show your power. But at this time, these elite cavalry only dared to scold most of them inside and outside, and were blown by the north wind, and they could not hear clearly in the camp.
This is a bit of a clown curse.
Xu Changqing's previous battle was gradually exerted by the power of infantry to hard-press the cavalry.
However, although the situation is under control, as Li Yan said, the refugee army was a little "active".
At this time, the refugee army seemed to be an offensive, but in fact it was a defensive, but it was an offensive!
This may seem a bit of a twist, but it is not difficult to understand.
The attack of the refugee army at this time is actually defense, to stabilize their position, but after all, the general trend is on their side, and the world is in full swing and has reached the capital. They are just defense. As long as they do a good job of defense, they will attack, which will bring pressure to the model army and the entire Ming Dynasty.
It also responded to the famous saying of the Hong Kong boss: "Justice is not in the hearts of the people,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Right and wrong are only in the times!”
"Military advisor, what do you think?"
After watching for a while, Xu Changqing handed Li Yan a cigar and ignited it in a slow and orderly manner.
Li Yan also lit the cigar, took a deep breath, thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "Lord, the thief is very powerful, and the weather is not good recently. I may consume more and more firewood, so we should make more preparations."
Xu Changqing nodded.
If we talk about positional warfare, Xu Changqing is not worthy of anyone in the current Ming Dynasty, including the entire world.
But at this time, Xu Changqing also had a headache for the logistics supply capacity.
It is indeed a great benefit to leaning on the capital, but it is also the biggest burden for the model army at this time.
The capital's material reserves are a bit urgent, and it is difficult to subsidize the Model Army, not only does it mean that the Model Army is limited to this small space.
"If you can save, you can save, but if you can't save, don't save! Never let the men be frozen. In addition, let the military formulate a combat plan to see if they can find an opportunity to rush into the thieves' camp and grab more firewood to get back!"
"yes!"
After chatting with Li Yan for a while, and communicating some core arrangements, Xu Changqing stopped watching the movements of the bandits, and went down the command platform to inspect the front line of the army.
At this time, as long as the refugee army is not a real attack, there is no need to pay attention to them and waste time.
...
Just as Xu Changqing entered the front line of the army, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Liu Fangliang and others were also watching the movements of the Model Army on a command platform they had piled up.
The calmness of the Model Army really made them feel uncomfortable.
In the past, the tactic of cursing was an extremely important tactic for them, and they were unsatisfied with all kinds of trials. However, at this time, the model army had strong firepower, which made them dare not get too close. The effectiveness could only be greatly reduced. Moreover, the morale of the model army was also extremely stable. Their children seemed to be exerting force, but they were almost equivalent to useless work and wasted effort.
After looking at it for a while, Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sometimes, he had to admire Xu Changqing's hugeness, and he couldn't do many things.
However, it is not a bad thing to have Xu Changqing, at least it can help them learn a lot.
Seeing that there was no result today, Li Zicheng didn't want to be too stunned in the cold wind anymore, and turned around and asked, "What's going on the Western Front? When will there be a accurate letter?"
Song Xiance hurriedly said respectfully: "The emperor has already started to arrange the arrangements. There will be a clear message for up to ten days, or even seven or eight days."
"Um."
Li Zicheng nodded: "Don't be too anxious to succeed. You must straighten out the matter. Take Tang Tong first, and then Bai Guangen! Haha, by then, you have to see what other storms can Xu Changqing alone cause!"
"yes."
...
"Why did you come so late today?"
It was almost noon, and Xu Changqing arrived at the position of the Hongniangzi tribe.
The position of the Hongniangzi army is directly south, and it is considered to face the dangerous areas covered by the refugee army, and the pressure is considerable.
This was also taken on by Hong Niang.
There are many reasons that cannot be explained, so she can only use her work to numb herself.
At this time, the Hongniangzi's position stretched for nearly one and a half miles, with fortifications stacked up and extremely meticulous. By this time, she was already at the level of expert in this regard, and she had to do better and more scientifically than the ordinary Qing army's defense.
"Haha, go to the east first to take a look. Sister Hong, don't work too hard. It's such a cold day, don't get frozen."
Xu Changqing smiled and handed a small warmer in his hand to Hongniangzi.
The red lady's pretty face turned slightly red, and she glanced at Xu Changqing: "You are still conscience. By the way, how about the east side? Have the thief caused trouble?"
Although it was a bit ambiguous to speak like this, Xu Changqing and Hong Niangzi had already adapted to this rhythm at this time. After all, both of them knew it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Will do things randomly.
Xu Changqing did not rush to reply, but walked directly up the steps behind the high wall and walked westward.
The Hong Madam was not in a hurry, and she jumped gracefully and followed Xu Changqing.
Around them, the two personal guards followed.
Soon, he walked to a curved space that was as prominent as a bastion, and it was like an observation deck. Xu Changqing came to the front and looked at the hungry people who were waving a hoe and working hard on the shovel and said, "There is no movement in the east, and the thieves have been defending the enemy. It is estimated that even if the thieves want to attack, they will definitely want to go south. Sister Hong, you must be mentally prepared. Even if they don't attack for a short time, they may be looking for something, especially at night, so you must be more careful."
As he said that, Xu Changqing looked at Hong Niang's beautiful eyes with a serious expression.
The Hongniangzifang felt warm in her heart, but she whispered: "I and the sons are still afraid that they won't come? By the way, you were fine when you entered the palace yesterday?"
The two were chatting together, and at this moment, a personal soldier suddenly came to report: "Master, that old man has sent another letter."
"Um?"
Xu Changqing frowned immediately, "Take it!"
In front of Hong Niangzi, Xu Changqing did not avoid it and opened it directly, but there were still a line of words without signatures inside: "Boy Zhongyi, isn't he too arrogant? He doesn't even have a reply?"
Xu Changqing's brows immediately frowned even tighter.
Originally, Xu Changqing thought it was a kind communication, but at this moment, Xu Changqing suddenly felt that the taste was a bit wrong!
He didn't leave any contact information, but at this time he said he was arrogant?
The Hongniang came to Xu Changqing and saw these words. She frowned: "What's going on? Who wrote it?"
