"If Jianlu likes to dig, dig. It's time to slow down their digging progress!" Li Guo put down his telescope and said lightly.

Therefore, in Yaozhouyi, the battle between Jianlu and Ming army turned to the struggle of digging trenches and counter-digging trenches.

Under Ning Wan's on-site command, Jianlu risked artillery attacks and started digging trenches at the distance they could withstand the loss.

As Ning Wan said, this area is suitable for excavation operations, and it is all soil. The soil dug by Jianlu is not transported later. They are piled at the entrance of the tunnel, slowly forming a large pile of soil, becoming an effective barrier to block artillery shells.

That's all, the soil dug out then began to build forward again, becoming a lump of east and west, and continued to be used to cover them to dig trenches and facilitate transporting troops forward.

Ning Wan's digging of the trench under my command was not vertically towards the Ming army's defense line, but was bent forward like a snake, so that the iron bullets could be penetrated and all the Jianlu on the entire trench were taken away.

On the Ming army, no matter how high the artillery level was, the slowness of the trench excavation process of Jianlu was ultimately limited.

The cavalry fought again, and the first time they succeeded, burying all the Jianlu who were digging hard in the ditch. However, the Jianlu was prepared and specifically covered by cavalry. As long as the Ming cavalry dared to rush over, they would also pounce. The close contact and the use of troops were what Jianlu was most willing to do.

After digging closer, the archers on the Ming army began to leave their positions and cover the trench within a safe range. At the beginning, a group of Jianlu who dug trenches were shot to death. However, the rear of Jianlu soon transported wooden boards and put them on the trench to effectively defend against the damage of the bows and arrows.

However, no matter what, under the interference of the Ming army, the Jianlu trench had to be dug more than one person high and was spacious enough to facilitate several Jianlu rushing up at the same time. It was not straight-line excavation, so you can imagine how big the excavation project of the trench was.

As time passed day by day, the trench extended forward and approached the Ming army's position. When Duoduo saw this scene, his smile on his face became more and more. In a daily report to Shengjing, he had already expressed that the Qing Dynasty would definitely have a great victory in the Yaozhou Post War. Eliminating nearly 10,000 Ming troops in one battle would be a rare victory for the Qing Dynasty this year! However, this was nothing to him. His purpose was to take back Gaizhou and kill all the Ming troops who invaded the Qing Dynasty!

Dorgon and others felt that it was fine for Duoduo's attack strategy; however, Emperor Chongzhen never brought his Imperial Guard, especially the Cavalry Camp, which made Dorgon and others worried. Every day's reply reminded Duoduo to be careful and pay attention to the conspiracy and tricks of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

For the time being, Yaozhouyi is waiting for the trench to be dug and then usher in the final decisive battle. Before that, both sides were in peace.

At this pass, although Jianlu's horses were monitoring the coastline near Gaizhou, they could not monitor the Ming emperor, who was most worried about by their regent, had actually landed on the other side of Lianyun Island Pass with the remaining three battalions of troops such as the Cavalry Camp. They were resting and resting, allowing the horses to recover their strength.

Emperor Chongzhen played chess with Lu Xiangsheng every day, drank tea, talked about his experience in leading troops to fight, and talked about the key points of people's livelihood governance. If you don't know, you would think that Emperor Chongzhen was not here to fight, but to take a vacation!

Nowadays, the cavalry on the shore, there are only three thousand cavalry in the hands of Li Dingguo, which is the total number calculated as the original Ming army in Gaizhou. As for the Jianlu Cavalry, there are tens of thousands of cavalry between Yaozhou and Gaizhou alone, and Jianlu provoked horses everywhere in the entire Gaizhou area. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng did not know the situation of Yaozhou and was actually very worried. Because he didn't know what the battle situation was in Yaozhou. If the battle was fierce, the food and supplies would be consumed a lot, and he had to support him.

However, he didn't know, Emperor Chongzhen knew! Although Duoduo had no seeds on his body to learn the news, Duoduo reported the situation of the war to Shengjing every day. Emperor Chongzhen could learn about the relevant situation through the feedback from the Class A seeds on Dorgon. As long as you calculate it based on time, you can roughly know the situation of the battle in Yaozhouyi!

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know this. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry at all and was drinking tea and chatting with him, he naturally admired him. With this calm skill alone, Lu Xiangsheng felt ashamed!

It is absolutely impossible to say that Emperor Chongzhen does not care about the life or death of the Ming army in Yaozhou Post. The only explanation is that Emperor Chongzhen is sure that the Ming army in Yaozhou Post is fine!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng also regarded it as an opportunity to cultivate his mind and cultivate his nature and use this thing to hone his mind and nature. Of course, he is a person with both civil and military skills, so of course he cannot just wait.

He also asked Emperor Chongzhen, and wanted to know what the emperor used to judge the war in Yaozhouyi. He felt that it was fine, so he was not in a hurry.

Regarding this issue, Emperor Chongzhen did not pretend to be unfathomable, nor did he say anything about the control of the Shanren. Instead, he told Lu Xiangsheng about the reaction of Jianlu's horse, the composition of the troops of Li Guo's troops, the food and supplies they carried, the situation faced by Duoduo's troops, and even Duoduo's possible mentality.

There is something to beg for here.

If Emperor Chongzhen had not had the seeds of eavesdropping, he would never have been so confident about these, and he might have missed some factors. However, in fact, he knew the situation of the war in Yaozhouyi and even knew Duoduo's ideas. Therefore, if he speculated in reverse on this basis, he would seem extremely confident and comprehensive.

This is like hindsight. As long as you are not a person with poor IQ, you can speak well and everything is under control.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen told the story, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be amazed. He felt that Emperor Chongzhen had opened his eyes again. It seems that although he claims to be both civil and military, he still needs to learn more if he compares with the emperor! Especially in terms of strategy, insight into military intelligence and self-confidence.

On this day, Lu Xiangsheng went to see Emperor Chongzhen as usual, thinking that he would continue playing chess and chat, but who knew that Emperor Chongzhen did not let someone play chess, but was wearing armor. Seeing him over, he smiled and told him, "It's almost done, it's my turn to appear!"

In fact, according to Emperor Chongzhen's estimate, Yaozhou Post can still hold on and wait a little longer. In this way, he can continue to consume more money, grain and military strength of Jianlu. However, the autumn harvest is imminent and he cannot continue to wait. Emperor Chongzhen did not forget the ultimate goal of launching this war.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly received the order.

During this period, both the Ming army in Gaizhou and the Ming army hiding in Lianyundao Pass were still holding their troops. On land, Jianlu had always been arrogant, running around, and their figures were everywhere.

Now, it's time to deal with them!

One hour later, countless Ming army ships suddenly sailed out from the north of Lianyun Island Pass, and a red layer was spread on the vast and boundless sea surface, rising and falling with the waves.

On the coast, countless sea birds suddenly appeared, and many Jianlu horses were exploring. They were all panicked. There were several horses in each team of horse exploration teams, galloping wildly. It felt even more terrifying than being chased by tigers behind.

Without any warship guards, the transport ship where the Cavalry Camp was located rushed directly to the beach. But as soon as it rushed to the beach, the baffle on the bow of the boat could move, and it was immediately put down, forming a slope to get off the boat. The soldiers of the Cavalry Camp on the boat immediately drove down from the boat.

If it was just a ship, there might not be many soldiers in the Cavalry Camp who had just got off the boat. However, on this beach, there were all transport ships that rushed ashore. Just the first wave of soldiers in the Cavalry Camp who had got off the boat had as many as hundreds of cavalry.

They did not stop on the beach, but gathered together and immediately rushed to Jianlu, who were watching the landing of the army in the distance.

One team, another... Soon, Emperor Chongzhen saw on the bow of the flagship that there were no traces of Jianlu exploring the horse on the shore. Wherever he looked, there were traces of the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp. More than 10,000 soldiers of the Cavalry Camp, the power of this cavalry army was enough to control the entire battlefield!

In less than an hour, Emperor Chongzhen had arrived on the shore and watched teams of Ming soldiers heading to Gaizhou City. The Gaizhou guards He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao also rushed over. With uncontrollable excitement, they ran to Emperor Chongzhen to greet him.

Looking forward to the stars and waiting for the moon, finally waiting for the moment of counterattack, it was time to push over! While running over to meet the emperor, he asked for a fight and asked for an attack. Before the other generals could say it, they gave a bunch of examples, saying that they were familiar with Liaodong and so on, and they strongly demanded to fight and did not want to defend Gaizhou.

The final result was that Lu Xiangsheng led the remaining troops of the Dongjiang Army to guard Gaizhou, and the three camps and Jingzhou under the jurisdiction of the other Imperial Horse Supervisors brought about a total of about 15,000 cavalry and more than 35,000 infantry, and a total of more than 50,000 troops, and rushed towards Yaozhou Post.

There are only sixty miles from Gaizhou to Yaozhouyi. For the cavalry, such a little road does not take much time, let alone, Jianlu used his ability to rush to run wildly without hesitation.

On Yaozhou Post, Jianlu had just started construction, because he was about to dig the trench and Duoduo came out to inspect the progress of the project. Of course, this was actually not his main purpose.

The reason why he didn't wait for the completion was that he wanted to see the Ming army in Yaozhou Post who was desperate and helpless when he dug the trench step by step. Even their continuous harassment of digging the trench was also seen by Duoduo with relish. Because in his opinion, this was the fear of the Ming army in despair, struggling to death!

"Prince, I will probably be able to dig it in these two days." Ning Wan, I said respectfully in front of Duoduo, "The exit of the trench needs to be expanded. As long as I, the Qing warriors, rushed out at one time, the Ming army would not have time to defend. If it weren't for the urgency of time, the officials would even think about transporting some horses..."

Listening to him looking forward to the future, Duoduo's temper became good, and he watched Ming Jun shoot stones with a catapult cart, trying to break the wooden boards laid on the trench.

"The prince is really wise and powerful. Only the prince can kill the Ming army and defeat it. This battle is a rare victory for my Qing Dynasty in the past few years. It is really a day worth remembering!"

Hearing Ning Wan's feelings, Duoduo was proud of himself. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He turned to look at Ning Wan, and pointed at him with his hand holding the horse whip and said, "Aren't you Han officials good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Come on, let's draw the scene in front of me, and I will send it to Shengjing!"

Ning Wan, when I heard this, I patted my forehead and said with a charming smile: "Oh, if it weren't for the prince's reminder, I would have forgotten that I would have done this. The prince waited for a while, and the prince immediately asked me to get a pen, ink, paper and ink."

Speaking of this, he ordered his follower, then turned around and accompanied Duoduo, and continued to bow down and said, "Xiaoguan has thought that Xiaguan will draw the prince in too. In this position, he will guide the country and have the spirit of planning. In front of the prince, my Qing warrior was brave and good at fighting. He was jumping out of the trench and slashing at the Ming army who was trying to stop it. The Ming army's face was full of panic and desperate expressions..."

Listening to Ning Wan’s description, Duoduo’s picture appeared in his mind. He couldn’t help but feel very satisfied. He immediately said lightly: “No, it’s OK. For such a painting, let’s give it two. Send it to Shengjing one, and I will keep one for souvenirs!”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but imagine that Shengjing, especially Yuetuo and Haoge, would probably be jealous and happy to think about it, and then laughed.

Not long after, Ning Wan, my follower quickly brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Ning Wan, I immediately put on a very professional posture. After holding the pen in my hand, I smiled and said with a charming smile: "Prince, the emperor is about to start drawing now!"

He didn't dare to let Duoduo pose for him to paint, because he didn't know if Duoduo would not cooperate, but he was very sure of one thing. Because of his suggestion, he captured Yaozhou Post and destroyed nearly 10,000 Ming troops in these two days, which was one of the rare victories of the Qing Dynasty. If you present such a painting, he didn't know how Duoduo was doing to other Han officials in the future, but he would never shout and kill him like before. Maybe he would call him "Mr."!

He was thinking, and suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves coming. The sound was a little harsh at this time.
