"Xiaosheng Hou Fangyu, please kowtow to Prince Jin An."
Hou Fangyu awkwardly rolled his sleeves and knelt down on one knee, giving Duduo a thousand blows.
"No need." Duduo didn't show it on his face, but he was a little disdainful in his heart. He was just a weakling, far different from those noble scholars.
Duduo then asked: "Have you ever been to Yunlong Mountain?"
Hou Fangyu nodded and said: "Xuzhou is not far from Shangqiu, and it is on the only way to Nanjing. Every time Xiaosheng goes from his hometown to Nanjing, or returns from Nanjing north to his hometown in Shangqiu, he will stay in Xuzhou for a few days, and when he stays in Xuzhou
I will definitely invite a few friends to climb Yunlong Mountain and chant poems to remember the past."
Speaking of this, Hou Fangyu started to let himself go.
Then he continued: "Xiaosheng has quite a few poems in Yunlong Mountain. Please correct me..."
Seeing Hou Fangyu preparing to recite a poem, Duduo's face immediately fell. What do you mean? This is mocking us Eight Banners disciples who only know how to wield swords and guns and don't understand poetry, right? I'm giving you shame?
"Shut up!" Duduo shouted with a dark face, "Who asked you to recite poetry?"
"Uh?" Hou Fangyu just woke up from a dream, and in front of him was the ferocious Jian Nu!
Although Jiannu treated the gentry in the city pretty well after entering Shangqiu, the accusations against Jiannu by the National Disaster Troupe and the Scholar Camp were not all groundless, and most of them were true.
At that moment, Hou Fangyu quickly shut his mouth.
Duduo snorted and asked again: "Since you have been to Yunlong Mountain many times, you must be very familiar with the terrain of Yunlong Mountain. Now please explain the terrain of Yunlong Mountain to me in detail."
"Yes, yes." Hou Fangyu nodded and said, "Yunlong Mountain generally runs northeast to southwest. There are nine peaks in total. The length from north to south is about nine miles, the width from east to west is about one mile, and the highest mountain is about fifty feet."
Duduo asked: "So is there an underground tunnel or a small path such as a cave in a rock crevice that can go directly to the top of the mountain?"
Good guy, after realizing that a frontal attack would not work, Duduo began to use his crooked brains to prepare for a surprise attack. But then again, this was actually the traditional craft of establishing slaves.
Back then, Lao Nu often carried out various surprise attacks in Liaodong.
"A secret passage in the rock crevice cave?" Hou Fangyu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "There used to be many such paths, but now they are all unusable. They have all been blocked by rammed earth and stone walls."
"Build it up?" Duduo frowned, "You mean the entire Yunlong Mountain is surrounded by rammed earth or stone walls?"
"Yes." Hou Fangyu nodded and said, "Before the Qing soldiers arrived, Xiaosheng went to Xuzhou once in the name of visiting friends and climbed Yunlong Mountain. At that time, those diligent scholars were building rammed earth and stone walls, and they had already built them.
It's almost the same, it must have all been repaired by now, the entire Yunlong Mountain is surrounded by a three-foot-high protective wall, and there is still one on the mountainside, but it is a little shorter."
"Really?" Duduo was greatly disappointed. If this was the case, the surprise attack would not work.
A forceful attack will not work, nor a surprise attack will work. Duduo is really at his wits' end now, Xuzhou is really difficult to defeat.
He Luohui said: "Master, if it doesn't work, just bring the red cannon in! Let the Eight Banners Han Army set up the red cannon at the foot of Yunlong Mountain and bombard it for three days and nights. If it doesn't work for three days and nights, then bomb it for ten more days and nights. That's it.
If you don’t believe in the bullshit gun towers built by the Ming Dogs, as long as they are destroyed, the Ming Dogs on the mountain will be nothing more than native chickens and tile dogs.”
"That's easy to say." Duduo said angrily, "Where are you going to place the red cannon?"
"This..." He Luohui was suddenly speechless. Where to place the red cannon is indeed a problem. It is safer to place it in the trench dug by the slaves, but it cannot hit the Ming army's gun platform.
But if it were placed on the ground, the Ming army's cannon towers on both sides of the trench would not be polite.
The Ming army's Tiger Crouching Cannon had a range of 500 steps, which was enough to cover the red artillery position.
Moreover, there are also red cannons of the Ming Army on the top of Yunlong Mountain, which are also a huge threat.
After a long while, He Luohui said again: "Then clear some more of the gun platforms on both sides of the gap to create a large gap with a width of more than five miles. In this way, the red cannon can be pushed forward at least five hundred meters."
With one step, we can hit the gun platform at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, and the next battle will be easier to fight."
"It's a bad idea." Duduo said angrily, "How long will it be clear?"
He Luohui was speechless again, because Duduo was right, time was indeed a big problem. It only took almost half a month to clear the current gap of more than 400 steps.
How long will it take to really expand the gap to five miles?
What's even more troublesome is that the gap of 400 steps in the middle is relatively easy to clear.
Because it was in a blind spot, the red cannons on the top of Yunlong Mountain were unable to hit the trenches.
But if you want to expand the gap to the east and west sides, you have to work against the red cannons of the Ming army.
The power of the red-coated cannon is not comparable to that of the Crouching Tiger Cannon. The trench will collapse with one shot. The coated slaves responsible for digging the trench and clearing the slope protection will suffer numerous casualties. Even if all 70,000 to 80,000 coated soldiers are used up, it may not be enough.
A fierce look suddenly flashed across Duduo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If it doesn't work, just use Bainiulu to attack!"
"Bainiu Lu general attack?" He Luohui said in astonishment, "Master means to mobilize the Manchu, Han and Mongolian cavalry from Bai Niu Lu to launch a fierce attack on the gun platform and protective wall at the foot of Yunlong Mountain at the same time, right?
"
"Yes." Duduo nodded heavily and said, "At the same time, we launched a frontal attack on dozens of gun platforms and a protective wall more than ten miles long at the foot of Yunlong Mountain. I don't believe that there are so many defenders on the mountain that they can defend dozens of guns at the same time.
There are three gun platforms and more than ten miles of protective walls. As long as one cannon platform or a section of the protective wall is broken through by our Eight Banners warriors, the Mingguo on the mountain will be dead!"
He Luohui frowned and said, "But Master, there is still a problem here."
Duduo said: "You are worried that the Eight Banners warriors will not be able to complete the encirclement of Yunlong Mountain, are you?"
"Yes." He Luohui nodded and said, "Although the dogs dug a trench two feet deep and dozens of steps wide around Yunlong Mountain, the Eight Banners warriors could avoid the Ming army's squatting tiger artillery bombardment by advancing along the trench.
But the Ming Army musketeers on the gun platform could still rely on the cover of the gun platform and the protective wall to shoot at the Eight Banners warriors in the trench."
"Then just let them shoot." Duduo said solemnly, "The Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia can use bows and arrows to fight back in the trenches, and the Eight Banners Han Army can also use blunderbuss to fight back. Judging from the countless previous battles,
The Ming army has always been afraid of confronting our Eight Banners warriors because they knew they were no match."
He Luohui stopped saying anything, because what Duduo said were ironclad facts.
At a distance of fifty steps, the Ming army's muskets were no match for the Eight Banners soldiers' bows and arrows.
The heavy arrows of the Eight Banners warriors not only shot more accurately, but also shot faster, almost giving them a crushing advantage over the Ming army's musketeers. Countless previous battles have fully proven this.

At this time, the sky outside the tent was getting brighter, so Duduo simply stopped sleeping.
"Drum!" Duduo said solemnly, "call all the kings Baylor to discuss!"
The drums soon sounded incessantly in the Jiannu camp.
…
Chongzhen has already descended to the cannon platform at the foot of the mountain.
"Your Majesty." Jin Shenghuan and Xu Yingwei hurriedly came forward to greet him and bowed in greeting.
"No courtesy." Chongzhen paused and asked, "How many casualties were there in the battle last night?"
Xu Yingwei said: "There are no casualties in our scholar camp."
Jin Shenghuan said: "We are okay, even the ambushes who were sent out are all dead."
Chongzhen sighed after hearing this. The ambushes of the frontier army obviously couldn't defeat Jianu's Ye Busuo. I'm afraid only Hu Guozhu's Yiding could compete with Jianu's Ye Busuo.
But it's obviously not necessary right now.
At that moment, Chongzhen said: "Jin Qing, write down the names of all the fallen soldiers. After this battle is over, I will uniformly distribute pensions to the families of all the fallen soldiers, and then include their names in the Shrine of Heroes."
"Yes." Jin Shenghuan agreed solemnly.
Chongzhen asked again: "How many slaves were killed last night?"
As soon as he mentioned the results of the battle, Jin Shenghuan's lips immediately opened up.
The reason is very simple, this is not a slave, but a piece of silver.
The head of a true slave is fifty taels, and the head of the Eight Banners Han Army is also ten taels!
From the beginning of the war to now, not counting last night, 1,500 real slaves have been killed on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain!
At that moment, Jin Shenghuan grinned widely and said: "Back to the Lord, I have just sent people down to the ditch to carve the heads of the slaves' corpses, and they have cut off more than a hundred heads in total, and they are all real slaves!"
In other words, Jiannu sent them more than five thousand taels of silver last night.
Counting the previous ones, you can get 80,000 taels of silver from the reward alone!
Of course, half of the 80,000 taels of reward must go to the Shizi camp. After all, they were all fighting together.
"Killed more than a hundred more?" Chongzhen smiled and asked, "Can you tell which one was killed?"
"Then we must not be able to tell the difference." Jin Shenghuan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Only our town and the Shizi Camp will share the silver reward equally based on the head."
Chongzhen had no objection to this either.
Anyway, he will never withhold the reward.
It is said that a real slave has fifty taels of silver, that is fifty taels!
At that moment, Chongzhen said again: "Jin Qing and Xu Qing, Jiannu has suffered losses many times in a row. He will definitely not let it go. When he becomes angry, he may jump over the wall in a hurry, so you two need to be extra careful next."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what I'm doing." Xu Yingwei said with a serious face.
Jin Shenghuan asked again: "Your Majesty, can you assign another team of soldiers to each musket station at the foot of the mountain?"
"No, when you are a scholar, you are a top soldier like you." Chongzhen flatly refused, "If it weren't for the prominent position of your gun platform, I wouldn't have let Xu Yingwei and the others come to help."
The soldiers in the Shizi Camp are all precious, so how can they be easily thrown into front-line combat?
Chongzhen added: "However, Jiannu's night attack just now did expose some problems. If Jiannu invested more troops to launch attacks from multiple sections of the protective wall last night, you really wouldn't be able to
