Chapter 754 Sudden Crisis(1/2)
Quantou Village is one of the inconspicuous small villages north of Qufu. The surrounding terrain is relatively flat, perhaps because of God's favor. There is groundwater flowing from Jiuxian Mountain not far from the next door. There are a few Quanzis with very good looks in the village.
In the past, Kong Yinzhi and the Kong family had to send people here to get spring water to make tea every day. The people in the village were basically tenants of the Kong family. They might not live a wealthy life, but there is no problem with a stable life.
Unfortunately, the Qing army was raging and everything was not going well.
Quantou Village is actually a little lucky in comparison.
Because the architectural settings in this small village have not been destroyed much, the original outline still remains, and the surrounding villages have long been transformed into ruins.
In the warm sunshine, the mud in the world has begun to appear, and the huge bright red battle formation is moving forward against the mud, and the speed is not as fast as it can be.
In particular, we must be wary of the Qing army that might rush over from all sides to directly rush forward. The body and mental pressure of each unit of the model army is relatively high.
Even Xu Changqing's nerves were always tense.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
Just like when a business was started in the early days of the Republic in later generations, foreign companies would just block the technology and would not give you it to death. You would really not find a way for a while.
Or you have to suffer the loss of this mute, pinch your nose and endure it, and pay.
Or you have to work hard and strive to master this technology as soon as possible.
At this time, Xu Changqing and the Model Jun were seemingly paying off their debts to the original "Battle of Guangning".
However, although it was tense, Xu Changqing was not afraid.
It would be fine if the main force of the Qing army did not fight. As long as they dared to fight, Xu Changqing and his men would definitely teach them how to be a new person!
At this time, nearly 400 hot air balloons in the battle formation were already ready!
Xu Changqing even took advantage of this time to chat with Kong Yinzhi's envoy and one of his son-in-laws for a while, and more accurately determined the situation in Qufu City at this time.
As noon approached, it was like a model army completely entered the track arranged by the Qing army and arrived at Quantou Village.
The people quickly set up defenses at night, checked the water quality of the springs in the village, and dozens of hot air balloons also cruised back and forth, determining the movements of the Qing army around them, and many fire soldiers and supplies gathered here quickly, preparing to bury the pot and make rice.
Everything looks harmonious and organized.
At noon, when the main force of the Model Army was completely connected to Quantou Village, there was a hot air balloon above his head and suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack, the enemy attack, and Tartars came to the west!"
"not good!"
"There are also Tartars coming to the east!"
“There are also in the north!”
“There are also in the south…”
Almost in an instant, the rhythm suddenly changed, and even the quality of the Model Army was restless.
Soon, there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves from far away from far away, and countless men had no time to have lunch. Under the urgent orders of the generals of various departments, they quickly entered a state of fighting.
This is the biggest disadvantage of the Model Army!
Still can't control even a little bit of initiative...
However, in the chaos, Xu Changqing relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
The darkness before dawn is often the most terrifying.
The Qing army kept silly, not knowing what they were going to do, even Xu Changqing felt a little confused, but once the Qing army showed up and its strategic intentions were exposed, there was nothing to be afraid of.
In one sentence, ‘Just do it!’
Amid all kinds of shouts, the formation of the Model Army condensed very quickly.
Taking the unit of each thousand brigade, the entire model army battle formation quickly gathered into more than ten pieces, and the more than ten pieces were divided into many small pieces, in units of thousands of brigades, in units of the group, and even in units of the general flag and small flag.
It looks messy from afar, but the heads and tails of each tribe echo and are closely connected. Each small group has combat power, and can be gathered or divided.
The sound of horse hooves was fierce.
However, the Qing army was obviously acute and did not rush directly to the formation. Instead, it rushed to the model army's battle formation for five or six miles, and stopped six or seven miles away, and began to make continuous arrangements and adjustments.
Xu Changqing quickly stepped onto the tallest building in Quantou Village and checked the situation on the roof of a ancestral hall.
At this time, the Qing army surrounded almost from all directions, with each flag, and the scale was probably no less than 50,000 or 60,000. Most of them were strong Manchus, and they were constantly surrounding here in the future.
Especially to the east, there are seven or eight people in the flat area adjacent to the famous scenic spot Jiuxian Mountain, and nearly 10,000 people gather.
These people were the hot air balloons of the Model Army before, and they didn't know where they were.
At this time, the Hongniang climbed to the top of the ancestral hall panting. Her full chest was fluctuating and undulating, but her spirit was much calmer: "Master, all the troops have already formed a formation, and I'm just waiting for the Tartars to come!"
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, "Please continue to order, all departments remain calm, Huo Bing continues to cook, and wait for the next turn to have dinner."
"yes."
Seeing that Mrs. Hong went to pass the orders in person, all the departments in front began to quickly build fortifications, Xu Changqing breathed a little relieved.
What he feared the most was that the Qing army was like a naughty man who said nothing but started to do it.
If Xu Changqing directly fought like this, he would have no other way. He could only use his life to withstand the impact of the Qing army first.
At this time, the Qing army slowed down, just in line with Xu Changqing's wishes, and entered the rhythm that the model army was best at.
Of course, all this was expected by Xu Changqing.
At this time, the world was quite muddy, and it was difficult for the Qing army's herd of war horses to show their power. If they ignored it, they would first be confused.
This is precisely why Xu Changqing has been dragging him and did not advance into Qufu as soon as possible.
The innate gap is here. We must use all the ways we can use to find the flaws of the Qing army, strengthen or give full play to the advantages of the model army. We must never "strike the enemy's strengths with our own shortcomings"!
These seemingly not very conspicuous details can often become decisive factors that change the situation on the battlefield and even change the historical process.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Changqing's efforts in this work are "unable to anyone".
...
Seeing the model army quickly stabilized in a short period of time, Dorgon's eyes couldn't help but feel solemn.
The model army is a model army?
This is completely different from the ordinary Ming army, and it is not even a creature at all...
"These gangsters are really like turtle shells!"
Next to him, Duoduo spat in anger.
He thought very well, and almost everything was under control, but when facing the model army, feeling this huge red tide like a tide, Duoduo still couldn't help feeling a little weak and had to give himself courage.
Nikan from this model army is simply dead soldiers...
Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty had been preparing for this for a long time!
Thinking of this, Duoduo relaxed a little and turned around and said, "Brother, you probably can't make it. Xu Changqing, the dog Nikan, has been on guard. Let's take the two holes of Dong and Nan according to the original plan."
"Um."
Dorgon nodded slowly: "If necessary, then Jiuxian Mountain will burn directly. The terrain on the east is a bit unfavorable. We should let them go south and break through the direction of Qufu City!"
“…”
Duoduo was a little speechless.
The east is the area he finally grabbed and was about to use this gap to build more of the heads of the model army. Who knew that he was a little coward before he started to attack Dorgon.
However, for the sake of the overall situation, Dodo also knew that Dorgon was right, so he did not directly refute it. He thought for a while and said, "Brother, don't be in a hurry. Wait for a day or two. If the situation is wrong, we will set fire to the mountain immediately!"
"It's OK."
Dorgon nodded: "Notify all departments and repair the fortifications immediately!"
"twitter!"
...
As Dorgon's order was passed on, the Qing army no longer acted in many battle formations from all directions, and began to build fortifications at a rapid pace.
Many real Manchus asked their servants to unload their armor, dig holes and pile up soil walls by themselves.
For a moment, the Quantou Village Model Army battle formation was surrounded by passion.
This shocked the model military men.
What does Tartar mean?
What about the promise to work hard?
Why did it become a fortification?
This made many of the men's breathing start to dissipate. It's too useless to play like this.
Xu Changqing was also a little speechless.
Dorgon is really a bit of a "shocked bird".
However, Xu Changqing soon understood his strategic intentions. He still dared not confront the model army head-on, and could only use this method of "three in scope and one missing" to consume.
Soon, the double convenience reached a strange balance.
You repair your fortifications, I repair my fortifications, and everyone does not interfere with each other. It seems that the two people who don’t know each other have contracted two unparalleled projects in this area.
To be continued...
