Chapter 144

Daming, the 11th year of Chongzhen, on the tenth day of December, at noon, the sky was dark, the sun was hidden behind layers of dark clouds, only the cold wind was blowing, blowing dust, and flying all over the sky.

In the south of Julu City, on the official road east of Jiazhuang, Lu Xiangsheng's Chinese army was stationed here, and the Qing army was found in the southwest, southeast, and northeast of him.

Although the number was only over [-], there were Qing troops rushing from three directions. This situation was very strange, but we had to be cautious.

Now all the generals, generals, and guerrillas in Lu Xiangsheng's army are gathered around him, discussing the next countermeasures.

Hu Dawei followed Zhang Yan's words and said: "There is Jiazhuang under the official road, and the walls of the village are quite complete. There are three wells in the village. It is quite convenient to fetch water and can last for a long time."

All the generals nodded their heads in agreement, Zhang Cheng came out more and more, and added: "Minister, two military gates, a few miles west of Jiazhuang, there is Haoshui River, the river is vast, my army can rely on Jiazhuang, and general The battalion extended westward and formed a stronghold,
In this way, it is difficult to deploy troops in the place where the slaves are. Our army and the slaves are facing each other, and we only need to stick to the north, east, and south. "

Zhang Yan, the general of Xuanzhen, said: "Although our army is short of food and grass, we can still last for a day or two, but we have plenty of firearms, so we can arrange them properly. With the benefits of firearms, we can frustrate the front of the soldiers and wear off the captives. vigor,
When the reinforcements from the High Superintendent Army arrive, it will be a joint attack from both inside and outside, and our army has a great chance of winning. "

Lu Xiang raised his head and nodded slowly. The words of the generals were roughly in line with what he thought in his heart. As expected, they are veterans who have experienced many battles, and they can think of the safest method at a glance.

Especially the guerrilla Zhang Cheng in Xuanzhen, as far as Lu Xiangsheng knew, although he had been in the army for many years, he lacked the experience of the war. He did not expect to have such insight.

"It's a pity... If I cultivate it carefully for a few years, this son can become the head of the whole town!"

He sighed secretly in his heart, and then thought again:
Don't let this son die in your own hands, you should leave him to Guochao, maybe one day, this son may save the country from the crisis.

…………

"Then set up camp in Jiazhuang to wait for slaves and thieves."

Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered the army to camp on the spot in Jiazhuang to wait for the slaves.

The army immediately got off the official road and spread out along Jiazhuang to the west. Although all the soldiers heard about it, there were Tartars from all sides telling me that the army surrounded me.

However, at this time, Xuanda's army had already fought vigorously in Gaoyang, and their self-confidence was unprecedentedly high. In addition, they hadn't encountered a captive cavalry for several days, and the soldiers were all suffocating in their hearts. Although they were a little panicked, they were not very afraid of the captive cavalry.

Soon, more than 1 soldiers left the official road and marched in the wilderness. The army crossed Jiazhuang and began to build a wall in the west field.

The artillery, luggage and other carts in the army were all pulled into Jiazhuang along the sandy road, and there were only teams of fine riders on the official road, galloping back and forth. go.

A sandy soil road runs from the village gate on the west side of Jiazhuang to the direction of Haoshui River, and the army camps along both sides of this sandy soil road.

From this sandy road to the northwest for about two miles, you can rush to another official road. At the end of this official road, there is a majestic stone bridge spanning the Haoshui River, which is called Haoshui Bridge by the locals.

Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse on the official road, looking around, there was an endless loess wilderness, except for some trees or dilapidated villages as far as the eye could see, there was nothing.

His eyes were deep, and under his order, the soldiers of each battalion were busy, taking out tents from under their respective baggage vehicles, and setting up camp in an endless stream.

Soon, the continuous camps slowly unfolded before everyone's eyes.

In a spacious courtyard in Jia Zhuang, Zhang Cheng and generals of Xuanda's army were gathering together to discuss military affairs, each expressing their opinions on how to defend the camp.

Zhang Cheng has won many victories and has his own unique insights. His status in the hearts of Lu Xiangsheng and the two chief soldiers is increasing day by day.

Although he is only a small guerrilla general, everyone here, including Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, etc., attaches great importance to Zhang Cheng's opinion.

"Ministers, all the troops, all the generals, the general thinks that we can set up as many horses, wooden fences, earthen walls and other things as possible outside our camp, but it is not appropriate to dig too many trenches to avoid trapping us in them.

Zhang Cheng believes that when our army fights against the slaves, we must not stay out. If the slaves attack, we will defend, and if the slaves retreat, we will pursue. We can defend and attack, so that the slaves will not dare to underestimate me, and we can also defeat the slaves to the greatest extent. . "

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng and the other generals nodded silently in approval, Zhang Chengxin became more enthusiastic, and he continued to say: "The last general thought that our army should take advantage of the artillery and concentrate the artillery in one place as much as possible. , giving slaves maximum damage.

Within the range of our artillery, instead of building earthen walls, we dug more than ten feet of trenches in front of the artillery, so that the slaves could not directly charge our artillery.

On the left and right sides of the distance of ten steps in front of the artillery, a half-person high earth wall can be erected. A platoon of musketeers can be used to shoot at the slaves to cover the gunners. Attack hand-to-hand slaves to protect gunmen. "

The proportion of firearms in the troops of Daming Border Town is extremely high, and their cavalry often use three-eyed guns for convenience. After firing the three guns, they can be used as a sledgehammer without changing other cold weapons for cavalry warfare.

The infantry army is dominated by matchlock guns and fast guns, both of which have their own advantages.

Fan Jingwen's "Master's Law" also mentioned: "You don't need to abandon the fire in the back hand, and you don't shake it, so there are eight or nine hits in ten shots, that is, all birds in the forest can be shot down, so it gets its name."

It is recorded in Zhao Shizhen's "Spiritual Artifacts" that "there is a door in the back, and a star in front. The machine will shoot out, keep your hands still, aim at a millimeter, and hit a square inch. In addition, the tube is long and the gas gathers, and it can reach far and destroy."

The advantage of the fast gun is that after shooting, it can be used for hand-to-hand combat after the gun head is attached. The disadvantage is that it can only be fired once, and cannot be fired continuously to form continuous firepower.

The generals of Xuan Town who joined the King of Defense this time are all equipped with elite soldiers, especially the infantry with a very high proportion of firearms. What they lack is fighting spirit and morale. As long as they are used properly, it is difficult for slaves to break through.

Zhang Cheng also had his own ideas about the deployment of these firecrackers, that is, dig two deep trenches about forty steps ahead of the firecrackers' line, and the two trenches are [-] steps apart.

The first ditch is sixty steps away from the gunmen, as soon as the slaves cross the first ditch, they will be within the range of the gunfire. Even if they rush up, there is a wider ditch twenty steps away, but it is not easy to jump. Pass.

Where the infantry is located, there is a half-person-high earth wall, which is convenient for driving guns and can play a protective role. In front of this earth wall is the third trench. Even if slaves rush, the trench and earth wall are more than one person High, it is also very difficult for them to climb over.
