Anti Qing

Chapter 26
After the military discussion, Li Zijing walked out of the main hall and found that it was already bright, so he took Liu Fangliang to the Shenhang hangar.

Li Zicheng pressed his hands on the table, and after everyone retreated, they turned their heads slowly.

"Military Master, do you think my brother can defeat Duoduo?"

Song Xiance looked down, looked at the three characters on the table again, and sighed.

"Disaster."

Song Xiance shook his feather fan slightly, his thin face full of regret.

"King Xiao Chuang's masterpiece is self-respect. Respect belongs to wood, wood produces water, and the five elements belong to water. Your Majesty, this battle is dangerous!"

Li Zicheng got up and stood in front of the map, with his hands behind his back, and sighed.

"Send the cavalry to go back to Xi'an first, and tell them: Five days later, the army will retreat to the south, and Ma Shiyao, uncle of Wushan, will lead [-] strong troops to guard Tongguan."

"As for today, let him try it. If he loses, he will give up."

After finishing speaking, Li Zicheng stopped the old soldier who was about to go out to deliver orders, and gave instructions deliberately.

"The southward retreat to Xi'an must be carefully prepared so as not to affect morale."

The old soldier of the Chinese army in blue arrow suit nodded and left. Li Zicheng and Song Xiance stood together, staring at the map hanging on the surface in a daze.

Both of them knew in their hearts that Duoduo was good at fighting and the Qing army was strong, so the good or bad of this battle was unpredictable.

The sky after the rain was cloudless, as clean and clear as it had been swept by a strong wind.

There are still a few days to attack Duduo's camp, and now Li Zijing's all thoughts are on the upcoming battle.

The purpose of this battle is very simple, just to completely repel Duoduo.

To defeat the Qing army's camp, at worst, some of the Qing army's supplies would have to be burned, so that Duoduo would not have enough strength to attack for a period of time.

As long as the situation is opened at Tongguan, even if Azig's cavalry arrives at the city of Xi'an, they will go deep alone and cannot fight alone.

History will be rewritten accordingly!

The final decision has been made, and unlike the original history of attacking the Duduo camp head-on, with the experience of winning the last field battle, Li Zicheng directly adopted Li Zijing's strategy this time.

Li Zijing didn't know that Li Zicheng was secretly preparing to evacuate Tongguan. Of course, even if he knew, it wouldn't affect anything.

The key to rewriting the battle situation is in his hands, and Li Zijing is also very nervous, but fortunately, he only needs to do his job well.

As for commanding large-scale attacks and adapting to changing circumstances, this is the business of Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and other generals who have led the army for many years.

What Li Zijing had to do was to lead more than 100 people in his department to supervise many ordinary soldiers digging tunnels.

As for where to dig, we have to wait for Li Zijing to observe the battlefield. The key to breaking the game is to find the loose soil under the Niutou plateau.

As long as you can find a suitable passage for digging a tunnel, you can have a surprising effect.

When he came to the magic hangar, Li Zijing was surprised to find that the magic hangar, which was usually crowded with people, was full of people at this time.

Many Dashun generals led people to choose firearms here, and even Liu Zongmin stood at the door with his hands on his hips, commanding his subordinates to carry them.

The last battle allowed them to see clearly the power of these seemingly useless and messy front firearms. Bringing some of them may really have a miraculous effect on the battlefield.

"Little King Chuang is here!"

With an exclamation, everyone turned around.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Li Zijing no longer felt nervous at the beginning, and he led people into the magic hangar.

"Little King Chuang, show me what kind of firearms we can use?"

Li Zijing looked at the person who came, he was wearing a blue arrow jacket, a hat on his head, and a goose feather knife on his waist, he should be under the jurisdiction of the Chinese army.

"What kind of firearm works depends on where your troops are located, and it works best according to local conditions."

The man scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"I'm under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Army, and I'm in charge of Chuangwang Dazhu. My brothers call me Hao Yaoqi, and you can call me whatever you want to call Little Chuangwang!"

Hao Yaoqi?
Li Zijing's face was slightly marked, and only then did he start to look carefully.

This Hao Yaoqi was a lot stronger than the others, his waist was as thick as a bear, his back was as broad as a tiger, and his whole body was unusually burly and strong.

Although the eyes were fierce, they revealed a clear stupidity.

Li Zijing recalled that in history, Hao Yaoqi was also a fierce general who fought against the Qing Dynasty until his death, but his life was rough.

In the beginning, peasants rebelled, but they were not reused either in Dashun or later in the United Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty.

As for why Hao Yaoqi was not reused by Li Zicheng in history, Li Zijing did not know.

Now is the time for employing people, the headquarters is short of manpower, and there is not a reliable subordinate yet, but it can be recruited at the right time.

It's better to make a good show first and test his tone. Even if you can't recruit him, it's good to have more friends and more ways.

Thinking of this, Li Zijing searched in the magic hangar while walking.

The God hangar was originally built by the Mingtongguan garrison to store firearms. It not only has all kinds of firearms, but also stores a large amount of gunpowder, so it is very dry.

The sun shines in from the long and narrow windows, and if you look along the sun, you can see the dust floating in the air for a long time.

"Brothers Waving the Flag are in the central army and are in charge of the big flag. They must be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Qing captives. In this battle, our army is attacking the Qing army and defending it."

"The Chinese army is fighting against the Qing captives, and it needs a way to break the formation."

"In yesterday's battle, it was really difficult to break through the large formation of the Qing army. This thing should be useful."

As he spoke, Li Zijing bent down and picked up a shield.

Hao Yaoqi followed, picked up the same shield and looked it back and forth, stroked it carefully with his rough hands, and knocked it a few times.

"Isn't this shield made of raw cowhide? How much protection can it provide, can it block the swords and guns of the Qing soldiers?"

Li Zijing didn't reply, just came outside the magic hangar with the shield in hand.

Everyone was very curious, and they all followed, and surrounded Li Zijing, forming a large hollow circle.

Li Zijing looked around at the crowd, holding the rectangular shield made of raw cowhide steadily in one hand, pondered for a while, and said loudly.

"Brothers, if you need to break the formation, this is the best thing."

Li Zijing paced back and forth in the circle, his eyes constantly scanning the crowd.

"What Brother Waving Flag said, I think it's also what you brothers think. What kind of protection can this raw cowhide shield have?"

"indeed!"

After saying that, Li Zijing suddenly pulled out the Yanling Saber and slashed at the shield in Hao Yaoqi's hand.

With a click, the shield made of raw cowhide was split open in the eyes of everyone, leaving only fragments on the ground.

Hao Yaoqi was also taken aback by the sudden knife, but he didn't move. He stared at Li Zijing with a twinkle in his eyes.

But Li Zijing had already walked away on his own, put the Yanling saber back into its sheath, and held the shield with both hands.

"This shield can't stop Qinglu's goose-wing knives, nor can it stop their steel spears, but it can break through!"

"The name of this shield is Shenxing Formation Breaking Fire Blade. It is not for your defense, it is for you to break the formation!"

"Bring torches!"

Liu Fangliang was also curious as to what kind of novelty this was, so she personally fetched the torch and handed it to Li Zijing.

Li Zijing got the torch, looked around the crowd, saw Liu Fangliang, Liu Zongmin and others were also watching from a distance, then looked away, and used the torch to ignite the black letter of medicine exposed on the shield.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke hit their faces, and everyone looked shocked, and subconsciously dodged.

Li Zijing adjusted the shield and raised it towards the open space.

The next moment, dozens of tiny fire dragons spewed out from the small holes hidden between the rawhide, and the furthest distance was two or three feet!
Two or three feet, that would be nearly ten meters!
In combat, with such a distance and a sudden fire-breathing attack, even if the Qing army is surrounded by three layers of heavy armor, they still cannot avoid the fate of being cooked!
A strong burning sensation hits the face, and the raging fire dragon is reflected in the eyes of the onlookers, who are all shocked and frightened.

Hao Yaoqi's eyes were burning. He really didn't expect that this unremarkable raw cowhide shield would have such devastating power.

On the one hand, if this is the case, if thousands of people hold this shield and suddenly shoot countless fire dragons at the Qing army, what a spectacular scene it would be!

"nice one!"

The flames were completely consumed, and the ground was scorched black. Everyone stepped forward, surrounded Li Zijing, asking him to name some novel firearms.

Liu Zongmin's eyes lit up, he raised his hand, and lowered his voice.

"Send someone to the god hangar, first get three thousand pieces of this broken sword card, and equip it to the front line."

　Mao Yuanyi's "Wubeizhi·Firearms Illustrated Eighth": "(Shenxing Breaking the Array Fierce Fire Knife Card) is made of raw cowhide, painted with fire dragons and beasts, hidden fire and other fire 36 barrels."
