Kong Youde looked at a passage left by the Ming army. This passage was not blocked. On the surface, the Qing soldiers could enter the village through this passage. He knew very well that if the Ming army arranged guns and cannons in the passage, the attacking Qing army was crowded into a straight line and bombarded by artillery fire, it would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of this, Kong Youde suggested to Duoduo: "Prince, I still think we should attack in three ways! You should not concentrate all attacking forces on the front passage! Prince, just imagine, if thousands of people attack from the only passage, how long will it take to pull out? The Mingdog inside just set up six red cannons and shoot in turn, and each shell can penetrate our formation. When we rush in, how many people will die?"

After thinking about it, Duoduo felt that what Kong Youde said was indeed very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Then let the troops divide into three groups of attacks! Let Ahha push the cart, you follow Ahha, and I will let the Mongols cooperate with you. As long as your people break a hole, our warriors will follow. Also, your cannons are placed on the front. If you find the cannons of Minggou Nikan, you will concentrate on bombardment and destroy the Minggou Nikan artillery."

Li Guodong had already begun to set up defenses in the city. In the twelve sandbags on the periphery, bird gunners and nine-headed bird heavy musketeers were arranged as needed. Each bay could have up to fifty bird gunners and ten nine-headed bird musketeers, and two hundred-pound Folang machines were strengthened.

In fact, these sandbags are also temporary fortifications. After all, the height is not high and it is difficult to stop the Qing army's infantry from breaking through. Once the Qing army directly attacks the basin and is about to be broken through, Li Guodong will ask the firearm soldiers guarding the sandbags to retreat, retreat to the village, and then resist the Qing army's attack step by step. Although it is a temporary basin, it can at least delay the Qing army for a few days.

The only entrance and exit of the village is the key defense area. On the avenue outside the entrance, a trench has been temporarily dug, and the digging of soil has been piled into a wall of sheep and horses that is one person high. Behind the wall of sheep and horses, a half-person high chest wall has been piled up, both walls of water. The weather is cold, and after the water is poured on, it is frozen as hard as steel.

Six twelve-pound copper field artillery were all arranged on the front, and two twelve-pound howitzers and twelve six-pound field artillery were strengthened. As long as the Qing army attacked from the front, the power was comparable to the shells fired by the twelve-pound field artillery of the Red Barbarian cannon, and the shield chariot array can be penetrated from the beginning to the end! Each twelve-pound field artillery can be smashed! The six-pound field artillery has much less power, but one cannon can be shot out and knocked over two or three shield chariots. As for the twelve-pound howitzers, it is mainly to wait for the Qing army to get closer and fire shrapnel can kill large Qing soldiers.

Before the Qing army began to attack, they went to prepare the shield cart. Li Guodong predicted that the Qing army would launch an attack early the next morning.

As night fell, wisps of smoke came from the village where the war was about to come. Li Guodong promised that the soldiers could eat well for dinner before the war, because for many people, this meal might be the last dinner in his life.

Li Guodong took out the frozen beef and mutton, boiled steamed beef bone soup in the pot, and put the beef and mutton into the pot to rinse it. How delicious it was.

"Beef? Where did you get the beef? The Ming Dynasty does not allow slaughtering cows." Lu Xiangsheng looked at the sliced ​​beef and asked curiously.

Li Guodong smiled and said, "When I returned to the commander, I was the cow and sheep brought back from outside the pass. After returning to the pass, some suitable oxen to stay or gave it to the ward station commanded by Wang. There were also some Mongolian cows, which were specially slaughtered beef cattle and were not suitable for plowing land. They were brought here a few months ago. After the weather was cold, they were slaughtered and made into beef. But there were not many. After eating this beef and mutton today, they could only eat horse meat."

"Hahaha!" The soldiers in the lobby burst into laughter.

The taste of horse meat is much worse, with a sour smell. However, the most meat in Li Guodong's hands was horse meat. It was all the Qing army's war horses that were killed or seriously injured when the Qing army invaded this time. Some of his seriously injured war horses, as well as horses who died, were also slaughtered and cut their flesh. Therefore, there is no shortage of horse meat, but the horse meat tastes too bad, and can only be regarded as food to fill hunger and supplement nutrition, but not as delicious food for the pre-war tooth sacrificial tooth festival.

There was a hot hot pot on the table, the charcoal was burning, and the beef bone soup in the pot was boiling. The soldiers drank the hot beef bone soup, put the thinly sliced ​​beef and mutton into the pot, rinse the cooked meat slices, and put them in chili oil to dip them. Although it was winter, they were sweating all over.

The staple food is sweet potato vermicelli, which is also cooked in the pot and steamed. It is also cooked in a bowl. There are also mushrooms, tofu and cabbage in the pot and cooked.

Tomorrow morning, there will be an unprecedented tragic war. Li Guodong knew that the Qing army that besieged Xuan's army this time far exceeded the Qing army's forces in history. In the Battle of Haoshuiqiao in history, the Qing army surrounded 15,000 of Xuan's army, of which 5,000 of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army were the first to be attacked. This time, the Ming army's troops, in addition to the 15,000 people brought by Lu Xiangsheng, also had 3,000 people from Li Guodong and 14,000 people from Wang Quan, and the total strength of the Ming army reached 32,000 people, but the Qing army's forces reached more than 70,000 people, not including the young and middle-aged people who were robbed by the Qing army. Many young and middle-aged people immediately shaved their heads and incorporated them into the cloak after being robbed by the Qing army. The Ming people who were forced to be incorporated into the cloak ranks, had at least 20,000 people.

Whether it is the Tianxiong Army or the Xuan Dajun, the food on weekdays is very poor, and there is almost no meat or fish to see. It is good that they can fill their stomachs. Today, they eat with their belly, with meat and vegetables. Everyone eats it all over the mouth and shouts of joy.

After dinner, Li Guodong asked everyone else to rest and talked with Lu Xiangsheng all night.

"My Nephew Guodong, if you hadn't made a plan in Julu, I would have been in danger this time. But I don't understand a problem. How did you know that Jiannu would wait for me in Julu?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

Li Guodong replied: "When I return to the commander, the last general has an inside line in Jiannu, and can send back the information in time, so the last general's information cannot be wrong."

"You are the inner supporters who are mixed into Jiannu, and you are shaving your hair and dressing like Jiannu?"

"Of course, it's a helpless move. If you don't shave your hair and dress, how can Jiannu trust them? If you don't shave your hair and dress, you have to do something bad? For example, you are forced to kill a few Han people, or rob and plunder the population with Jiannu. They can only do as little evil as possible, but it's impossible not to do it at all, otherwise Jiannu will be suspicious."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "That's a forced one. They can endure humiliation and shave their hair and braids. They are already loyal and righteous people of the Ming Dynasty! They are all a group of heroes!"

Li Guodong said again: "In fact, the general of the General of the Imperial Army said something inappropriate. Originally, intelligence work should be the affairs of the court. However, the imperial court weakened the factory guards, causing the Ming Dynasty to become blind and deaf when it faced Jiannu. If it weren't for the imperial court's name, the general of the Imperial Army would not have to let his brothers endure humiliation and take this risk, and he had to do something bad without his conscience."

"Guodong, do you know the disaster of the factory guards? During the Tianqi period, the eunuch party used the factory guards as their minions to frame the loyal and kind! It made the people complain! Now that His Majesty has wisely weakened the factory guards and made the people in the world feel like they were clearing the sky. This is a great move to satisfy the people. How can the factory guards be restored? Even if they recover, they can only treat Jiannu and not do evil to the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Guodong smiled bitterly: "There are many benefits for the supervisor of the army. I will dare to ask you why the people in Shaanxi rebelled?"

"Isn't it that the eunuch party left behind the disaster? When eunuch party was in power, the people were in trouble and the people were about to starve to death, so they had to rebel." Lu Xiangsheng snorted coldly.
