The moon in Beijing is very round and bright, and the moon in Gansu is also very round and bright.

Li Hu became inexplicably upset for more than half a month. There were no Mongols making trouble in his defense area. After Man Ye led the First Cavalry Division to join the battle group, the Ming army had the ability to respond quickly.

As long as the Mongols pushed long-barreled guns to sneak attack on the outpost, the cavalry of the First Cavalry Division would teach them how to behave. After annihilating several waves of sneak attacks, the Mongols gave up this behavior of meat buns beating dogs.

As for rocket attacks on outposts, they are almost extinct. Perhaps the Mongols have also figured out that it takes more than a dozen rockets to blow up a outpost after painstakingly transporting them thousands of miles, and it is uncertain whether there are Ming troops inside.

Even if there is a Ming army, there are only three or five people. Do some calculations. On average, it takes a hundred and ten silver coins to kill a Ming army. This is too damn expensive! If the battle can go on like this, the Ming army will only have to endure the bombing.

Can bring Batur Hutaiji to bankruptcy.

Logically speaking, it is a good thing that the Mongols don't come to cause trouble. But for some reason, Li Hu was so upset that he couldn't sleep tonight.

After standing up and putting on his clothes, Li Hu walked out of the tent. When the security team saw Li Hu coming out, they immediately cheered up and followed.

Ten miles away behind you, more than 3,000 migrant workers are building a military camp. It is said to be a military camp, but it is actually not much different from a city. The winter in Gansu is not as cold as that in Liaodong, but the wind and sand are much heavier than those in Liaodong. If the troops are stationed here in winter,

Neither humans nor weapons can survive it.

It was Li Hao who came to choose the site, and this boy actually had the ability to read Feng Shui. The boy named Xiong Cilu walked around with a compass, and Li Hao pointed to a place and said that that would be the center point of the new city.

Li Hu asked him why, and Li Hao said there was a spring in that place.

Li Hu didn't believe it, so he asked someone to dig it out. It turned out to be a spring. The spring water was clear and sweet. These days, it was this water vein that provided water for the whole group. There was a shortage of water in the northwest, and water was often more precious than food. He didn't eat for three days.

, at most very weak. If you don’t drink water for three days, you will almost die.

From this incident, Li Hu really saw that his fourth brother had grown up. He had a dark face, tattered boots, and was covered in wind and frost. He said that he had traveled all over Shanxi and Guanzhong this year. It should be true.

of.

Li Hu was very surprised that the fourth brother was so successful. The one Li Hu looked down upon the most since childhood was this youngest brother. He was greedy, lazy and crying all day long. He was so timid that he would tremble for a long time when he met a praying mantis.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he would achieve great success.

That night, Li Hu and Li Hao drank a lot of wine. When talking about the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the years, the two brothers hugged each other and laughed. When talking about the tragic death of their parents and relatives, the two brothers held their heads and cried again. When talking about their encounters over the years,

, full of longing again.

The two drunken brothers hugged each other and slept together all night. When they got up early the next morning, they held hands and parted ways.

Li Hu is going to the front line to lay the recently delivered barbed wire, while Li Hao is going to continue surveying to find the most suitable path for the railway from Guanzhong to Yinchuan.

Li Hu's regiment headquarters was already halfway up the hillside of Shizui Mountain. Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well go directly to the top of Shizui Mountain.

The moon in the sky is big and round, hanging high in the sky like a silver disk. Under the silver moonlight, you can see ten miles away.

Li Hu is very familiar with this place. Shizuishan is the north gate of Yinchuan City. It is the defensive core of the northern part of Yinchuan City. If the enemy wants to attack Yinchuan City from the north, there is only one way to go through Shizuishan Mountain.

Li Hu's regiment has been stationed in this area for more than half a year. From the water town in the south of the Yangtze River to the dry and hot Gansu, everyone seems to have shed a layer of skin. In half a year, Li Hu has transformed the area within ten miles of Shizuishan into

It became a real battle fortress.

There are four layers of bellows-shaped barbed wire and two layers of stretched barbed wire. The barbed wires are connected to form trenches. The edges of the trenches are dug diagonally downward, and a roof is added inside to hold them firmly in place with sleepers.

Every five hundred meters, there is an underground troop garrison cave. Gansu is a good place. If there is no water veins below, even if you dig ten or twenty meters, not a drop of water will come up. Where is the trench like Jiangnan?

Dig two meters deep into the ground and water will flow upward.

Since he had this advantage, Li Hu would not waste it in vain. He dug a hole ten meters deep for troops, covered the passage and the hole, and used thick wood to support it. This kind of bunker could not be damaged even by heavy rocket launchers.

In front of the position, there are many stones placed irregularly. There are also many small pits that are as thick as a bowl and one foot deep. This is a trick used by the Liao army to deal with cavalry. If the cavalry charges in this area, it is necessary to turn their backs on their backs.

.The horse's hooves are inserted into those small holes, and the horse's legs can be bent at high speeds.

Coupled with the help of the barbed wire fence, no matter how many cavalrymen came here, it would be in vain. What's more, there are more than 3,000 landmines and directional explosive devices placed in the middle of the barbed wire fence.

Landmines are traditional weapons. There is nothing to say about this. Directional explosive devices are interesting. As long as the soldiers light the fuse, this thing will explode. The most interesting thing is that when it explodes, the steel balls and iron sand filled in it will move in one direction.

Spray, as long as the men and horses are sprayed, they will be covered in holes. Even if they are not killed by the explosion, they will still be hurt to death.

The artillery position is hidden behind the position, so concealed that even Cao Wenzhao, who came to inspect it, did not notice it. In addition, Shizuishan is the only commanding height nearby, so the Mongols' attack here will definitely be in trouble.

Cao Wenzhao, who was inspecting the position, just watched silently. When he left, he didn't say anything and just patted Li Hu on the shoulder.

Later, I heard from people in the division that when Cao Wenzhao went back, he said that the people of the Li family were born to fight.

Is it natural? No! Li Hu knows how much he has sacrificed over the years, leaving his beloved wife and concubine thousands of miles away on Changxing Island. He is suffering in this dry Gansu!

My only belief is that one day when someone introduces me, they say that this is Commander Li, the commander who beat the Mongols so that they dare not go south. Instead of bowing and introducing him, this is Commander Li, the marshal’s brother.

Head of the group.

The status I have today is the result of scars all over my body. I didn't get it by cheating on my eldest brother's name.

When he was in Jiangnan, Li Hu was holding back his energy. But the people in Jiangnan were like the ghost weather there. They were as soft as a puddle of water. No matter how you slapped them, they would return to normal after taking your hand out.

Original loading.

Every time he competed with the Donglin Party in Jiangnan, it was like punching his fist into a water tank. This feeling almost drove Li Hu crazy. Several times, Li Hu wanted to lead his troops to kill the sour Donglin Party.

Man.

Coming to Gansu saved Li Hu. In the constant tug of war with the Mongols, Li Hu enjoyed the joy of war. It should be said that the Mongols are not as powerful as the Jurchen Tatars, but they are more cunning than the Jurchens.

The long-barreled artillery harassment some time ago made Li Hu very annoyed. His subordinates also began to suffer casualties. When Li Hu was helpless, Master Man came with his First Cavalry Division. With the help of the cavalry, Li Hu

Tiger fought a few good battles.

In particular, he commanded the artillery to ambush the long-barreled artillery. A group of artillery shells exploded and sent the Mongols running wild. The First Cavalry Division behind them chased them closely and killed more than 300 Mongolians in that battle. The Mongolians were beaten until they cried.

Mom, I will never dare to harass you again with a long-barreled cannon.

Master Man is here, and so is Nie Dahu from the First Division and Regiment. It is said that this guy was supposed to be promoted to deputy division commander, and orders were given. But this guy just refused to leave and refused to leave, even if he said he would die, he would die with his brothers. He was

Ao Ye cursed and had to ask Li Xiao to revoke the order.

More and more Liao army elites gathered in Gansu, and Li Hu's intuition told him that this battle must be a big one. Otherwise, there would not be such familiar faces coming to this sleepy Gansu.

Li Hu raised his telescope and admired his carefully arranged position. He was thinking about how he would respond when the Mongols attacked.
