Seeing that the morale of the men was instantly lifted, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan were a little stunned. They asked themselves, they would never have such ability.

Especially at this time, Li Yuanqing's tall figure stood on the mound, like a god. Even Chen Zhong, who was closest to Li Yuanqing, felt that Li Yuanqing was like a holy saint, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach him.

But as long as Li Yuanqing is here, it is like a lighthouse hanging in the sky, and everyone will have a direction.

At this time, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

The wave of noise dissipated in an instant, and the crowd was as silent as water. No one dared to make any sound, only the rustling north wind blew past their ears.

Li Yuanqing pointed at one of the thick bosses and said: "Li Hu, get over here!"

The general named Li Hu was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he couldn't help but smile and hurriedly came to Li Yuanqing. He knelt down on one knee respectfully and said, "Li Hu, a humble official, has seen the general before."

But before Li Yuanqing could kneel down firmly, he kicked him hard on the chest, knocking the guy to the ground.

Li Hu felt a little aggrieved, but how could he dare to refute Li Yuanqing? He quickly got up and knelt down respectfully in front of Li Yuanqing, not daring to breathe.

Li Yuanqing stared at him and shouted loudly: "What is the second military rule of our Changsheng Camp?"

Only then did Li Hu react. He hung his head and said, "All my colleagues are brothers! Anyone who threatens, insults, or beats his colleagues will be severely punished."

"Then what did you yell just now?"

Li Hu knew that he was wrong, but he did not dare to refute, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "General, I know I was wrong in this humble position, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Li Yuanqing nodded, "You have a good brain."

As he said that, Li Yuanqing kicked him angrily, "Get up! Brothers are all hungry after a fierce battle? What are you doing standing around here? Why don't you go wash your hands and eat quickly?"

"Eh? Yes!"

Li Hu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He hurriedly ran into the crowd and shouted in a loud voice: "Brothers, what are you doing so stupidly? Why don't you wash your hands and eat?"

Although he is a little reckless, he is by no means stupid.

Today, it seemed that he was kicked hard by the general, but he was thick-skinned and covered in three layers of armor. The general didn't use his full strength at all, so he didn't feel anything at all.

Although the general asked him to memorize the military regulations, he did not punish him. This was obviously a deliberate act of "loud thunder makes little rain".

To be honest, Li Hu, who was so beaten and suppressed by the dog Tatars today, had a bad temper, and he really felt a lot of anger in his heart.

Just now I heard Li Yuanqing say that someone was disobedient and wanted to break the rules, and he couldn't help but get angry.

But after he said it, he also regretted it. As the military regulations said, after all, they are brothers Pao Ze. Even if there is a mistake, it should not escalate to a conflict between ourselves and the enemy.

Especially when Li Yuanqing called his name just now, he was really shocked.

But later looking at Li Yuanqing's methods, he understood that the general just wanted to find a reason to suppress the matter.

As for Li Hu, although he was kicked twice by the general, his name was also remembered by the general. This business is not a loss.

Watching Li Hu leave, the soldiers returned to normal order, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth.

The army should have an unruly spirit.

As the old saying goes, 'When a soldier is raging, a general is raging in a den.'

Although Li Hu was a bit reckless and had a bad temper, it was undeniable that during critical war times, Li Yuanqing admired a bloody man like him more.

Just now, Li Yuanqing saw clearly that on the right side of the center, it was Li Hu and his group who, under the desperate shouts of this guy, took the lead to rush forward and withstood the surging Tatar wave.

This guy has always performed well and is someone who can be promoted and reused.

The matter has passed, and Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan have relaxed a lot.

Both of them also understood Li Yuanqing's intentions, and they understood Li Yuanqing's determination for this battle more clearly, which also gave them a stronger backbone in their hearts.

At this time, some soldiers brought broth to Li Yuanqing and Zhang Pan respectively.

After Li Yuanqing drank a few sips, his body became much warmer, his face gradually gained color, and his spirits improved a lot.

Zhang Pan also drank some, and gradually came to his senses, and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, today we have blocked the Tatar attack at any time. But tomorrow, they will definitely not give up. We must take advantage of this period to do everything possible."

Prepare."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Brother Zhang, this is exactly the truth! So we can't rest yet! Come on, let's eat first. After eating, we'll all go and watch."

…………

After a simple meal, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan were all on the front line taking command, and all departments quickly began to operate in an orderly manner.

In addition to food hygiene, camp hygiene is also a task that Li Yuanqing attaches great importance to.

The main reason is that the camp is located downwind, and the original dense forest has been cut down. This is a very unfavorable and unstable factor, and Li Yuanqing will never dare to neglect it.

Fortunately, the Hou Jin army was frightened by the grenades and did not dare to continue the offensive rashly, which also gave Li Yuanqing and his men more time.

Soon, the bodies of these Tatars were stripped naked, their heads cut off, dumped on makeshift wooden rafts, and dragged from both sides of the camp to the rear.

Wherever they passed, quicklime was sprinkled.

Beside the earth wall, the engineers also began to work quickly, repairing the damaged parts of the earth wall and cleaning up the mess. The auxiliary soldiers also began to climb in front of the earth wall and clean up the sand and earth bag steps piled up by the Tatars, as well as the Tatars they had not had time to take away.

corpse.

More than two hours later, as flames burst out from the Tatar corpses in the south of the camp, most of the affairs were finally coming to an end.

Li Yuanqing's tense spirit all day could finally relax a little.

The stability of the earthen wall meant that he and his sons could finally sleep peacefully.

Xu Heizi quickly came to Li Yuanqing's side and whispered: "General, it's obviously getting a lot colder at night. We can pour water in front of the earthen wall. It won't take long before it freezes. It should be beneficial.

The stability of the earthen wall.”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Due to the limitations of natural and topographical conditions, the Ming army's earthen walls were piled very quickly. Although they were four to five meters wide, they were not rammed earth, but ordinary earth accumulated and not stable enough.

If it were a solid city, the effect of splashing water and freezing would be quite good, but at this time it was just an ordinary earthen wall, and Li Yuanqing was not sure.

"Brother Xu, I'm afraid that the weather will get warmer tomorrow and the ice will melt, which will cause trouble."

Xu Heizi nodded and said: "Looking at the day, the changes shouldn't be too big, and it's time to get cold. General, I want to give it a try."

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook Xu Heizi's hand hard, "I believe you!"

Xu Heizi was overjoyed and even more moved. For such a major matter, Li Yuanqing almost chose to believe him without reservation. How could this not make him feel moved?

"General, just leave this to the humble officer. Tomorrow, the Tatars may attack the city early in the morning. You should have a good rest!" Xu Heizi said with some distress.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry. I know what's going on."

Xu Heizi nodded heavily and hurried to the front to work.

His combat mission is not heavy, but these projects are all his responsibility. Tonight, he is afraid that he will never sleep.

Li Yuanqing was just going to inspect the earthen wall in the north. Chen Zhong was almost done with his work. He hurried over and took a deep breath and said: "Yuanqing, are you old or something? Damn it, why do I always feel semen?"

Are you not as energetic as before?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, it's almost time. Go get some rest early. I'll just keep an eye on things here."

Chen Zhong said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, how can this be done? You are our backbone! Now we have half a day to spare. Chen Amao, go and get some pots of good wine. Let's fry some simple side dishes."

"Yes!" His personal soldier Chen Amao hurriedly left.

Chen Zhong smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, call Lao Zhang over and let's have a drink."

Drinking in the North is not a bad thing. First, it can keep you warm. It can also prevent or even cure many diseases.

During this trip, in the army, Li Yuanqing also prepared a lot of wine, but it was limited, including for himself.

It was already past midnight, and the night wind was already very cold and whistling, showing signs of winter.

Li Yuanqing did not refuse, nodded, walked to the side of the ditch and sat down on the mound of dirt.

Tonight, it was not just a superficial defensive task. He and Xu Heizi had discussed before that some gunpowder fortifications would be deployed in the moat.

To put it simply, it is like the ‘land mine’ of later generations.

Li Yuanqing knew very well that simply fighting with cold weapons, the men of the Changsheng Battalion would never be able to match the heroic Hou Jin warriors, let alone Chen Zhong. Their biggest reliance was the power of firearms.

The Chinese invented gunpowder, but they did not use it in the most dominant way. But at this time, Li Yuanqing wanted to correct all of this to the right way.

Although the explosive power of gunpowder is far less than that of explosives, it is better because of its low cost, and the engineers of the Changsheng Battalion are more mature in its use and understanding.

At this time, the bayonet was already red, and Li Yuanqing naturally did not dare to hold back anymore. He had to open up the distance between the Ming army and the Jin army, leaving enough room for maneuver for himself.

After all, although grenades have a certain degree of dominance, it may be difficult to achieve a huge effect when the opponent is prepared.

For everything, you must be prepared with both hands.

Not long after, Zhang Pan also rushed over, and the three of them sat together, drinking and chatting.

Today, despite being scolded by Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan understood Li Yuanqing's temperament better and what Li Yuanqing cared about more. The atmosphere among the three of them quickly became harmonious.

Li Yuanqing picked up a glass of wine and clinked it with Zhang Pan's glass with a smile, "Brother Zhang, I have this temper. You know me after we have been together for so many years. I am not right for the person or the situation. Don't mind.

.I drank this glass of wine, and I owe you the apology."

Zhang Pan didn't expect that Li Yuanqing would actually apologize to him in front of Chen Zhong. He was shocked and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, why is this necessary? We brothers..."

Li Yuanqing smiled and drank down the glass of wine, "Brother Zhang, one yard is one yard. If we talk about it, we brothers can walk longer!"

Zhang Pan was stunned and understood what Li Yuanqing meant. He drank the wine in one gulp and laughed loudly, "Yuan Qing, that's right! That's exactly what it is! A man should be able to take it up and put it down! In this regard

, Brother, I am not as good as you!"

Chen Zhong also laughed, "That's right. We are all brothers. Let's talk about it. Is there anything we can't get over? Come on, let's have another drink."

But just when Chen Zhong was about to raise his glass, a soldier came quickly and said respectfully in a low voice: "Generals, the results of our battle have been calculated."
