Chapter 780 Getting Ready
At the end of 1648, the situation in the north was changing. The Ming army's 30 soldiers marched to the north, and the army was approaching the front line of Xuzhou.

The Western Wei Dynasty also mobilized half of the army, and the troops continued to march to the front line, making Man Qing tired of coping.

At this time, Gao Yihuan didn't know when to break through Azig's block, and was still a little worried. What if the Wei army couldn't break through the Qing army and was blocked in Puzhou?
Therefore, Gao Yihuan was quite entangled, so he gave Gao Yicheng several contradictory instructions, not only notifying his uncle Zhu Cihong to prepare for Dorgon's mobilization of elite soldiers, but also secretly stumbling Zhu Cihong, which was a split personality.

Although Gao Yihuan is not optimistic about the Ming army, the strength of the Ming army is there. The 30 army plus Zhu Cihong's personal conquest cannot be underestimated.

Everything is just in case.

If the Ming army fought well, what if they defeated the Qing army, regained the Lianghuai Mountains, and approached Beijing directly?Didn't Wei Jun make a wedding dress for Zhu Cihong?

Now Gao Yihuan is afraid that the Ming army will lose quickly, let the Qing army win a big victory, and their morale will greatly increase, and then turn around and push him back to Hedong, and he is also worried that the Ming army will win a big victory, pick Beijing, and seize the fruits of victory.

If the Ming army is defeated, Doer Gun will stabilize his position in this way, and the battle between Qing and Wei may last for more than ten years.

However, if the Ming army progressed smoothly and captured Beijing before the Wei army, then he would be busy for nothing, and Zhu Cihong's prestige was at the height of the sky, he would be regarded as the master of ZTE, attracting talents to join him, and strengthening the cohesion of the Ming Dynasty , making him lose the upper hand and be in a passive position.

As far as Gao Yihuan is concerned, what he hopes is that the Ming army will contain the Qing army for him, but it is best not to win the Qing army, and not to lose too early.

Even in comparison, Gao Yihuan would rather see the defeat of the Ming army than Zhu Cihong's recovery of Beijing.

That was his Gao Yihuan's achievement. He didn't want to be snatched away, even if millions of lives were lost because of it. That's why he made a few contradictory orders.

Gao Yicheng understood this. After hearing Gao Yihuan's words, he nodded quickly and said in a low voice, "I understand that Qing is our immediate enemy, and Ming is our future enemy."

Gao Yihuan didn't say much, he waved his hand and said, "Go and do it!"

~~~~~~
At the end of October, the weather in the north was getting colder. The trenches of the Wei army had advanced to [-] steps away from the Qing army's line, and the mortars had advanced [-] steps to the back of the earth wall.

From a few days ago, the mortars of the Wei army had already begun to bombard the first line of defense of the Qing army, but it was difficult for the artillery of the Qing army to hit the mortars in the trenches, and the catapults that threw stones and thunders had insufficient range. , so they can only be bombed passively.

At this time, on the artillery formation of the Wei army, soldiers wearing cotton armor and leather boots put a flowering bomb into the mortar.

The soldiers ignited the fuze first, and then lit the cannon. There was a loud "boom", the tilted cannon sat down, and a cloud of white smoke instantly rose. An arc slammed towards the Qing army's line.

"Bombardment! Dodge quickly!" Sun Maosheng yelled, greeted a few coats, and jumped into the anti-cannon pit.

There was a loud bang, and the shell exploded behind the earth wall, splashing dust all over the sky.

The mud clods on the dirt wall were blasted into the air, and then fell with a crash, hitting Sun Maosheng and the Baoyis like hail.

Sun Maosheng was fine as a bannerman. He was wearing blue cotton armor and an iron helmet on his head. He was well equipped. The packers were wearing thin gray cloth clothes.

The Wei army mortars bombarded from time to time, behind the earthen wall of the Qing army, the anti-gun ditch was crowded with secret red-topped bamboo hats, the Qing army silently endured the shelling and endured the rain of mud.

In the distance, Azig looked gloomy looking at the smoke and dust on the front line.

As he expected, the Wei army dug a trench and went forward, and indeed bombarded his defense line with mortars. Besides, the Wei army's trench had already been dug thirty steps ahead of the front line, and the Wei army with stronger hands was already able to shake the sky. Lei, throwing it directly on the dirt wall, Azig already had a premonition that a big battle was coming.

It was night, and the Qing army launched another surprise attack, trying to destroy the artillery array of the Wei army. The sound of artillery and firecrackers resounded through the middle of the night.

······
At this time, in the big tent of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan gathered all the generals together, surrounded in front of the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, bombarding and clearing the formation every day consumes a lot of gunpowder and shells. If there are enough medicines and shells, the lonely king will not I will fight with the lives of the soldiers, but according to the daily consumption, the gunpowder and shells can't last long. Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a while, I have called everyone here today to tell you that when you see the real chapter, you will die! It's time!"

"The ministers are willing to die for the king!" The general in the tent clasped his fists solemnly.

Holding the waist knife in his hand, Gao Yihuan glanced at the many Wei army generals, then lowered his head and pointed at the sand table and said, "Now the lonely king and Azig are both clear cards, and whoever makes any move can't hide it from anyone. This battle can be said to be the tip of a needle. As for Maimang, it depends on who is tougher."

As he said, Gao Yihuan pointed to the defense line of the Qing army, "At this time, Azig has already set up his posture, sharp wood, horses, antlers, traps, barbed caltrops, thunderstorms, etc. are all ready to wait for the lonely king, The Gu Wang's method is also very simple, there is nothing wrong with it. First, the mortar is used to cover a round, and then the thunder-throwing hand throws mines, suppressing the Qing army on the earth wall, creating smoke and dust, and finally the soldiers jump out of the trench and attack the earth wall. Fight with your life!"

The faces of the generals in the tent became serious, and Gao Yihuan directly nodded and said: "Wang Yongqiang, your department will be the vanguard tomorrow, and the lonely king wants to see your general flag on the first line of the Qing army. Can you do it?" ?”

Wang Yongqiang didn't expect Gao Yihuan to order his generals, but after thinking about it, this time the idea was hard and it was obviously not easy to fight. It might be a tug-of-war. If the Wei army sent elites up from the beginning, if they didn't win, King Wei wouldn't be able to come down. Therefore, the morale of the Wei army will also be greatly vented.

After all, the elite couldn't take it down, so the other troops naturally felt discouraged.

Send the Type C battalion first, if you can't beat them, you won't be ashamed. The king of Wei hasn't used his full strength yet, and you can increase the weight one by one later.

Although the first attack must have caused a lot of casualties, it was also an opportunity for Wang Yongqiang.Because King Wei would not have too high expectations for him, as long as he played a little better, King Wei would be pleasantly surprised.

"I take orders, and I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations!" Wang Yongqiang immediately flicked the cloak behind him, and went out to clasp his fists.

······
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and there were signs of mobilization in various departments of the Wei army.

The Wei army was right under the eyes of the Qing army, so what actions they made, naturally they couldn't satisfy the Qing army.

Azig got the report soon, and rushed to the front line to check. He saw that the trench was full of Wei soldiers wrapped in turbans and wearing iron helmets. The brigade was moving forward from the trench.

Azige's face sank, and he summoned Zhang Cunren and said, "The barbarians will attack aggressively today, so you have to get another five hundred thunderbolts to defend the first line of defense!"
