"What? You are deaf and mute. Can't you hear what I say?"
In the imperial tent, Kangxi was so angry that he punched the imperial tent with a "bang" punch, knocking the teapot to the ground with a "bang". The clear cracking sound frightened all the courtiers to kneel down, and everyone bowed their heads to serve.
The little eunuch who served in the chamber was also too frightened to move, and his hands were hanging down and trembling.
"On weekdays, aren't you all capable of martial arts, resourceful, and knowledgeable about the world and geography? Why are you all acting like mutes now, unwilling to share my worries?"
Looking at the silent ministers, Kangxi suddenly felt discouraged and tired. The anger in his stomach could no longer be released. He sighed secretly and waved his hand to signal everyone to go down. He wanted to be alone.
A moment of silence.
"Emperor!"
Seeing that the emperor was worried about the traitor and the general, although Gao Shiqi was not a military commander, as a great scholar, he had no reason not to fulfill his duty as a minister. Looking at the people in the account, there were princes, generals, and generals.
No one dared to speak out, which made Gao Shiqi feel very uncomfortable. He decided that it was up to him to break the deadlock.
"If I have to say it, slaves, they all feel that the bandit army seems to have set a trap for us in Qingyuan. Just imagine the partial division of the bandit army that suddenly entered the pass. Combined with what the bandit general said today, if the slaves thought well,
I'm afraid that the leader of the bandit army is the one who led the troops into the pass, and the Qingyuan bandit army is just a cover to confuse us."
What Gao Shiqi said was exactly what Kangxi thought. After listening, Kangxi nodded slightly, raised his eyelids and glanced at the courtiers who were still kneeling there silently.
"What do you think?"
Someone took the lead, and Prince Su Fu Sui was naturally not the queen. He immediately said without thinking: "What Gao Shiqi said is reasonable, and I think it is true."
Fu Sui said, and Yabu followed suit: "I also thought that the traitor army was cunning. The traitor used a trick to escape the golden cicada, leaving some troops to act as a blind eye for the Qing army, while he led the troops to rush thousands of miles into the pass.
Already."
Because of the defeat the day before, Prince Kang Jie did not dare to speak so loudly, nor did he dare to take the initiative to speak. After listening to Fusui and Yabu's words, he thought about it in his heart and said: "I am afraid that we are serious."
The thieves have been fooled."
Mingzhu and Laita saw that the princes had spoken, so they didn't say much and knelt down to listen.
"This thief has mastered the essence of the art of war, and I have mastered his method."
Thinking that he had been plotted by the traitor Wu Sangui left behind, Kangxi couldn't help but sigh, "If the traitor general is really not in the opposite army, do you think it is necessary for me to stay here?"
Hearing what Kangxi said, Tong Guogang became anxious and hurriedly advised: "The emperor must not abandon his will. I believe that the most urgent task is to wait for the Hongyi artillery to arrive and annihilate this bandit army. Then the emperor will return to the army and enter the pass."
, give the thieves who broke into the pass a place to catch turtles! This is the strategy. If they return now, the Qing army will attack Shengjing. The foundation of their ancestors is in Shengjing. If they are to be occupied by thieves again, there will be more than one.
It’s a matter of devastation and suffering for the people..."
At this point, Tong Guogang did not continue, but Kangxi and everyone knew what he wanted to say, and some in the crowd had already begun to think about the consequences of what Tong Guogang said. Yes, if he left like this, Shengjing would be in danger.
"Catching turtles in an urn?"
After muttering to himself, Kangxi's tense face relaxed and he nodded: "Well, uncle's words are very kind. If uncle hadn't reminded me, I would have almost thought of leaving. By then, all my previous efforts would have been wasted."
His face hardened, and he ordered loudly: "Before the Hongyi cannon arrives, the three armies must not move lightly. When the general's cannon arrives, all the troops and horses will be mobilized. I will have a showdown with the traitor again!" He was determined.
The idea is to wait for the arrival of Hongyi Artillery to deal with the traitors in Qingyuan first.
The military officials did not dare to have objections and responded to Kangxi in unison: "I obey the order!"
…………
"A sure win? No, what the emperor wants is a leak. The thieves and generals on the opposite side are not ordinary people. There is no reason why we should not make second-hand preparations in the earth city. What I worry about is that while he strengthens his defense on the front, he may also be preparing to attack behind his back.
Fleeing in the direction of Ninggu Pagoda in the northwest. You guys, since he spent so much effort to defend the front, why didn't he put his military camp here as well. According to me, he is deceitful. If we don't plan well, the traitors will be killed.
If it leaks, then it will be difficult for us to send troops to the emperor! Therefore, the Hongyi cannon cannot be placed all in the front, but only ten cannons are divided to prevent the rebels from being unable to hold on and fleeing to the northwest."
In a military tent in the camp, Mingzhu and a group of generals were arguing, but they were arguing over how to use the forty Hongyi cannons that came from Shengjing.
"But the emperor did not make such an arrangement. The emperor meant that all forty cannons should be concentrated in the south, and only one side of the bandits could be defeated. If Mingtang said that ten more cannons should be sent to the northwest, I am afraid that the frontal attack force would be very large.
Much weaker."
The person who refuted the pearl was Fei Yanggu. He was appointed by Kangxi as the forward general of tomorrow as the minister in charge of the bodyguard. He was responsible for presiding over the army to defeat the enemy. Since he was in charge of the full power, he had the final say on how to use the forty Hongyi cannons.
, except for the emperor, no one else could interfere, but Mingzhu interfered and insisted on dividing ten gates to the northwest. Not to mention that the emperor would not agree to this matter. From the perspective of using troops and concentrating firepower, Fei Yanggu could not
Agree with Mingzhu's opinion.
After being refuted by Fei Yanggu, Mingzhu's face immediately darkened: "Why, does General Fei think that I don't even know the common sense of military use? Let me ask you, there is only one way for the rebel army to escape to Ning from the northwest.
Ancient pagoda, if the bandit soldiers really cannot resist the arrangement of fleeing to the west from Ninggu pagoda, then they will be seeking death. Don’t forget, the bandit army does not have cavalry, and we still have more than ten thousand cavalry. If the bandits flee to the west, they will die.
, our army can use cavalry to pursue it, but in this case, will the thieves still have a way to survive? Can these two legs outrun four!"
After hearing Mingzhu's words, Fei Yanggu was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to refute it, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "What I said makes sense, but the official's instructions failed to reach this point."
Seeing that Fei Yang's ancient clothes were weak, Mingzhu was a little proud, but General Laita shook his head and asked him: "If we allocate ten cannons to defend the northwest, the frontal offensive power will be weakened. If we cannot attack, it will become a confrontation."
In such a situation, sir, how can we send a message to the emperor then?"
"The rebel army already has Rakshasa soldiers. What if the Rakshasa Kingdom knows that we are tied with the traitor army and suddenly sends troops to reinforce the traitor army? Now the emperor is in a hurry to send troops to enter the pass. What if we
If we can't defeat the bandit army in one fell swoop, the emperor will definitely not spare us." Shengjing General An Zhuhu expressed his worries. He had no good impression of Mingzhu to begin with. Now that he saw him commanding blindly, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he said
It was still very tactful, but the words were full of meaning.
The words of Laita and An Zhuhu made Fei Yanggu stunned again. Mingzhu was the Minister of War, the Minister of Housing, and a popular person around the emperor. He had to listen to his words, but if he listened, no one could predict the consequences.
No one can bear it. Asking the emperor for a ruling is suspected to be a complaint against Mingzhu. In that case, don’t you remember a lifelong grudge?! Well, what can we do? He won the battle, and he was the first to merit the victory.
, he has no responsibility at all. If he makes a mistake, I will be blamed for it. No, no matter what I say, I can’t let the traitor escape. Once he escapes, I won’t be able to explain to the emperor even if I behead him. Thinking of this, Fei Yang
Gu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Tang, I'm not going to refute your face. The forty red barbarian cannons must all be used in the south. If the enemy's line cannot be broken through because of insufficient artillery fire, I will have ten of them."
My brain can’t bear the responsibility!”
While Laita and the others were talking, Mingzhu's mind was not idle. He thought that sooner or later, this dispute would not be hidden from the emperor. If things were as expected by Laita and An Zhuhu, how could the emperor be willing to let him go easily?
The crime of walking away.
Since the risk is too great, it’s better not to persist, but to do as the former emperor said. I just want to grab credit, and I am not in a hurry at this moment. There will always be a chance. Thinking of this, Mingzhu suddenly changed
With a smile on his face: "Since you all insist on not dividing them, let's not divide them. It's not a good thing to have more cannons. Now let General Fei show off his skills in the battle tomorrow!"
Mingzhu lowered his body, and Fei Yanggu hurriedly said: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. In the battle tomorrow, I will do my best to clear a bloody path for the army!"
As soon as the sky dawned, the horns of the Qing army camp kept ringing. It seemed that the Qing army was gathering. Only visible to the naked eye, the Qing army camp opposite was lined with fully armed Qing soldiers on three levels inside and outside.
When he heard the trumpet sound, Hu Wang and a group of generals looked towards the Qing camp, while assessing whether the Qing army was going to attack again. Three days had passed since the second battle. During these three days, there was no movement from the Qing army.
No, it was so quiet that it was surprisingly quiet. If the Qing army continued like this, Hu Wang was really worried and uneasy. But when he saw the Qing army on the opposite side finally dispatching again, his anxious heart finally dropped.
I am not afraid that you will come, but I am afraid that you will not come!
The weather today is good, the temperature is not low, but the wind is strong, which makes the flags of the two military camps whistle loudly.
After waiting anxiously, Guan Ning's army finally arrived. The densely packed Qing troops gathered from all directions to the south, and finally formed an airtight mass. On the distant horizon, from three directions, they poured darkly towards Guan Ning's army's defense line. This time
Different times, instead of cavalry charging into the formation, they were all infantry, each holding a shield, slowly coming in rows.
"What, the Tatars have changed their tactics this time?"
Guo Pu didn't know about soldiers, but he also knew that the Qing army's attack this time was obviously different from the previous one. He looked at Hu Wang beside him with doubts and wanted to know the answer from him. But Hu Wang was also very puzzled, looking at the overwhelming and overwhelming force from far to near.
The Qing soldiers who arrived felt uneasy in their hearts for some unknown reason.
Although the infantry's large-scale charge was larger in number, it was still significantly less powerful than the cavalry's charge, so the officers and soldiers of Guan Ning's army did not feel much nervous about the upcoming battle.
"wrong"
His right eyelid suddenly twitched violently, and Hu Wang became more and more worried. He always felt that the Qing army had some trick, but he didn't know what was wrong. Just when he was confused and worried, he found that the Qing army in front of him suddenly divided into two lines.
Moving to the left and right. When the crowd dispersed, what appeared in front of Hu Wang and Guan Ning's soldiers were the muzzles of dozens of black cannons.
"Hongyi Cannon?!"
Doubts and shock instantly arose in everyone's mind.
