The most important thing is that the grassland tribes don't use long spears. They are accustomed to using scimitars, blocked by barbed wire. Their scimitars can't show the slightest power at all. But Ming is different. The soldiers of Ming are accustomed to using long spears. Even if they don't have muskets, With only a long gun, through the barbed wire, the grassland tribes who climbed the barbed wire were also aimed at each other.

Luo Xin firmly believed that simply putting a barbed wire fence on the city wall would turn into a nightmare for the grassland tribes.

"General Zhang, you are in charge of arranging the city defense!"

"Respect!"

"Master Jiang, follow me."

Luo Xin took Jiang Song to the Armament Department in a hurry, and then drew the drawings of iron rods and barbed wire on the paper, explained it to him again, and asked:

"Master Jiang, I want to cover the city wall with barbed wire before Huang Taiji arrives. Can you complete the task?"

As a veteran military department, Jiang Song knew the size of the capital city wall, and quickly calculated it in his mind:

"My lord, I need four days. Counting from tomorrow, it will take three days to make these iron rods and barbed wire, and one day to install them on the city wall. But... this may delay the production of some other ordnance."

"Tighten the barbed wire first."

"Yes, my lord!"

Luo Xin did not leave the Armament Division, but rested there. At dusk, Jiang Song hurried over and said:
"My lord, more than [-] people from the Armament Division have assembled, and the [-] Thunderbolt bullets, gunpowder fuses, and slender bamboo tubes are all ready."

"go!"

Luo Xin strode out of the gate, someone had already brought the horse, Luo Xin got on the horse, and led more than [-] people from the Armament Division towards the city gate.

Arriving at the gate of the city, the two admirals of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion each led [-] soldiers and were already waiting there.

"Open the city gate!"

With Luo Xin's order, the gate of the city was rumbled open, and more than [-] people rushed out of the gate, and quickly arrived at the place where Huangtai Ji's camp was supposed to be. Team, explore ten miles away.

Luo Xin dismounted from his horse, recruited the great craftsmen from the Armament Department, and taught them how to lay land mines under the torch, and then each of these great craftsmen led a small team to start laying land mines.

midnight.

After the laying of a mine net was completed, craftsmen were asked to deal with the ground, and then everyone returned to the city.The lead wire of land mines has been laid to the moat and buried under the ground.

early morning.

Luo Xin was sleeping in the fifth army camp when he heard Lu Zhonglian's voice outside:
"Master Hou, Master Ma is here."

Luo Xin turned over, wiped his face twice, pushed open the door, and saw Ma Fang standing outside with a look of exhaustion and despair, and shame mixed with Luo Xin's gaze.

"Get some food." Luo Xin said to Lu Zhong, and then said to Ma Fang: "Master Ma, please come in."

Ma Fang came in like a puppet, stood there, and Luo Xin said, "Master Ma, please sit down."

Ma Fang shook her head and said: "The guilty minister dare not sit down." Having said that, she looked at Luo Dao in despair: "Did His Majesty have ordered me to be thrown into prison?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head.

"Then... why did you let me go into the city alone?"

"That was my idea."

Ma Fang was shocked and said, "No, why?"

"Because I don't want Master Ma to be a sinner, I want Master Ma to make meritorious service, and I want Huang Taiji's head."

Ma Fang's desperate eyes lit up suddenly, her face flushed with excitement, and immediately said without asking Luo Xin what plan he had:

"No, what do you say, what do I do, the old man will die."

"Okay!" Luo Xin took Ma Fang's hand and let him sit down, "Brother, you and I were able to kill Alatan Khan back then, and we were able to kill his son as well."

Ma Fang nodded excitedly, looking at Luo Xin earnestly.Luo Xin said in a concentrated voice: "Brother, do you still remember the land mine?"

"Remember!" Ma Fang's eyes brightened, "Is it the things that were buried in the Yinlong River?"

"Well! I will give you 20 pieces, and I will give you the method of use. Then you will take the soldiers outside the city and wander around. When Huang Taiji retreats to the grassland, you will adapt to the situation and choose a place to plant land mines. , intercept Huang Taiji head-on, and I will chase after him. When the time comes, our two armies will join forces to attack Huang Taiji from front to back. As long as we succeed this time, the grassland tribes will not be able to invade Daming again within [-] years."

Ma Fang looked at Luo Dao seriously: "No, are you sure you can hold the capital?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded firmly.

"I believe you!" Ma Fang said with a still serious expression, "If you can't hold on to the capital, Daming really has no hope."

"There is no hesitation, let's act now." Luo Xin stood up and said: "Brother, remember, when Huang Taiji besieged the capital, you could gather Datong's defeated soldiers outside, or you could seek opportunities to harass, or Annihilate the small grassland tribes that went out to look for food and grass, but don't confront the main force of the grassland tribes, your purpose is to give Huang Taiji the final fatal blow. Even if the capital looks very dangerous, you have to hold back."

"I see!"

Ma Fang nodded earnestly, and the two hurriedly left the Fifth Army Battalion. First, they went to the Weapons Department and taught Ma Fang how to use land mines. Finally, Luo Xin was still not at ease, so he selected a dozen craftsmen who knew how to use land mines. He followed Ma Fang to leave, and then sent another team to deliver some food to Ma Fang's army. In less than an hour, Ma Fang left the capital.

Standing on the city wall, Luo Xin watched Ma Fang leave with more than [-] troops, thinking about the upcoming war in his heart.Just sticking to the capital and letting Huang Taiji leave calmly in the end, this is definitely not the result Luo Xin wanted.He wants to defeat the prairie coalition forces, and only by defeating the prairie coalition forces can Ma Fang create an opportunity to ambush Huang Taiji.

In his mind, Luo Xin divided the future war into three steps.

The first step is to ambush the grassland coalition forces with land mines and give the grassland coalition forces a head-on blow.In this way, it can not only attack the arrogance of the grassland coalition forces, but also improve the morale of one's own side.This fall and rise have laid a solid foundation for sticking to the capital.

The second step is also the most difficult part, which is the protracted defensive battle. It is necessary to ensure that the city is not lost. Only when the city is not lost can the subsequent plan be realized.With the first step to improve morale, the capital has no shortage of food and weapons, and Luo Xin has come up with barbed wire again, and Luo Xin is confident to defend the capital.Luo Xin has already ordered Jiang Song to make more barbed wire fences for backup. Once some barbed wire fences are damaged, they can be replaced in time.Make sure that this barbed wire position always exists.
