When the clang was clang, the hammer in his hand fell down weakly, hitting the icy and snowy ground, making a dull and crisp sound.

In the sun, Li Jinglong panted and sat decently on a large piece of ice without any gust of ice, tremblingly stretched out his hand and looked at the blisters on his palm.

I'm suffering from my mother's swelling!

Li Jinglong was spraying with heat in his mouth, and he was scolding with gritted teeth, and he couldn't move!

Since Ping An took his troops away, he began to manage his positions in the place where he was stationed. The place he is now in is the only way for the Uryanha tribe to retreat. Li Jinglong not only wanted to block the Tartars here, but also looked at the mountain-like baggage in the camp.

The battle was about the supplies. The cavalry on Ping'an went into battle lightly, but threw the logistics here, gunpowder, food, medicine, and weapons, etc.

Li Jinglong's side has only 26,000 people, and it can be said that the heavy responsibilities are as heavy as a mountain.

Fortunately, this place is an abandoned high ground. The military fort in the Han and Tang dynasties can be repaired slightly to accommodate soldiers, store supplies, and use them as part of the position for defense.

But the key is how he defends.

He could have imagined that if the real Tartars came from him, they would have to fight to break out of the Ming army's encirclement.

If the Tartars do not take down his position, they will run far and unable to run fast, and may even be cut off in half and split into two.

Head of the family! Li Laowai, the leader of the Li family's personal soldier, ran over sweating and muttered, "The brothers can't dig out anymore!"

From the day Ping An took the cavalry away, Li Jinglong started to do one thing, dig a hole!

An lonely city cannot be guarded, and an lonely formation cannot last long!

If you want to use less to more and hold the position, remember not to shrink blindly. Relying on the terrain, defend in a tiered manner......

On the day he was stationed here, Li Jinglong thought of the military books that his father taught him step by step when he was a child. He had long since lost somewhere to him, but after thinking about it carefully, the words and pictures were still clear.

After all, his father Li Wenzhong used a stick to force him to learn it. Even if he couldn't understand it, he still memorized it until he died.

In his father's words, it's no harm to learn more.

Sure enough, it's used now.

The Ming army's position was a lonely fort built on the mountainside. The fortress extended to a long slope. If the enemy wanted to come, they would have to attack. They could not rush up by riding horses, so they could only fight on their horses and stairs.

Then if you dig up the outer periphery of the Ming army's positions and dig out a circle of light and dark ditches, three layers inside and three layers outside, it is the ladder defense mentioned in the military book, and it can also weaken the disadvantage of one's own number and dilute the advantage of the opponent's number.

Just imagine, when the Northern Yuan army came over and found that there were dense ditches outside the Ming army's positions. What should they do?

Moreover, there were countless vicious mechanisms hidden in the ditch, such as iron nails taken out of the dung pile and bamboo thorns that hung dead rats. Above the ditch, at the highest point of the Ming army's position, there were bows, arrows, cannons, muskets, and aiming here.

Whoever comes here will die!

At the same time, Li Jinglong also remembered the things his father taught, food, supplies, etc., and asked his personal soldiers to take care of them. When they did not see the enemy, they would let the soldiers eat 60% full. After fighting, they would eat 80% full. The commander and the soldiers share the joys and sorrows, and the things like gold and silver were placed on the position, ready to reward the soldiers at all times.

In this way, food is saved and the soldiers have hope. Moreover, once a person is hungry, he will be energetic. If the commander said that he would exchange the enemy's head for white flour buns, the soldiers below would definitely scream.

Sadly, it is winter now, it is frozen like iron, and once you dig a white dot, your arms are dislocated, but you can only dig out the shallow ditch, which is so dry!

They have been busy these days, but nothing is left.

I just dug a little ditch during the day, but when the wind blew at night, his grandma's froze again the next day!

The head of the family! Seeing Li Jinglong sitting there in a daze, Li Laowai shouted again.

Li Jinglong slowly came back to his senses, blinked his frosty eyelashes and said in a muffled voice, since he couldn't dig, then don't dig, save some effort! As he said, he sighed and sadness came from it.

Your Highness, it’s not that I’m incompetent, but that I haven’t learned it before, so why do I fight in winter? My father taught me all the military tactics he used to fight in Jiangnan. The military tactics he fought in the north were gone before I could learn it!

Dad, you died too early!

Li Jinglong complained in his heart, "I can't say I can come, you insist on me." I'm going to do such an errand. It's not that I'm incompetent, but that's really him... I can't beat me!

When I thought of this in my heart, I hated Ping An to death. You rely on my peers to my father and the adopted son of the old man, so I just bullied me! Let me guard here, why don’t you guard here? You clearly want to harm you Grandpa Li! Damn, don’t let me get through this level. When I pass this level, I will have to find this place back!

However! Li Jinglong suddenly became depressed. If he couldn't stop the Tartars, if he let the Tartars go, what else would I talk about? I'm afraid that in an instant, it would become a laughing stock of the nobles in Huaixi. At that time, the crown prince wanted to use me, but he couldn't use it!

Seeing Li Jinglong being dumb and full of worries, Li Laowai squatted down and persuaded him, "Master, don't think so much in your heart. Isn't it just a war? The Tartars gave us one knife and we gave them three knifes. The brothers came here like this when they were with the old master!

It's more dangerous than this. With us here, even if we are dead, you won't be able to hurt your hair at all!

Yes! Li Laowai's words made Li Jinglong realize it suddenly.

Who stipulates that the war must be won? If the Tartars come overwhelmed and there are only these people here, how can I stop them?

I just have to do my best, but I have never fought. It is not a serious crime to let the Tartars rush over, right?

If others talk, why don’t they just wrap the Tartars up and not come over?

I am doing it! Li Jinglong was happy. It was different from not being able to beat him or not. I was nailed here like a nail, standing in command of the central army, doing enough things to be honest. If I really couldn't stop the Tartars, I didn't need to fight with the Tartars!

At that time, I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince that it is not that I am incompetent, but that there are too many enemies. I will not retreat in bloody battles and cannot stop the other party. I am wrong, but my friendly forces are also wrong! I know that I am just a few people, but I still drive the Tartars here?

Thinking of this, Li Jinglong felt very happy.

But the next second, I became depressed again.

Damn, if you tell the crown prince like this, isn’t it not that the old birthday boy hangs him and he is despised to have a long life? When did the military laws of the Ming Dynasty have been in charge of these? The orders given to you will be enforced even if you die! Either win or die, it’s that simple!

When the founding of the country, the main reason was that the Duke and the County Marquis were killed in battle. No matter whether you can fight or not, at least you must die!

Besides, Li Jinglong felt a clear mind. No one could listen to his reasons or justifications except himself.

If he died here in battle and did not block the Tartars, he would still be a hero.

If he hadn't died, the Tartars would have passed, and I'm afraid he would not have been able to wait until he returned to the capital to meet the crown prince. Lan Yu, Zhu Di, Fu Youde, and Ping'an would have been able to peel him off first.

Who cares about those people who Li Jinglong’s son is? Who cares about his grandfather?

I'm suffering from my mother's swelling!

Li Jinglong suddenly started to curse with hatred like crazy. Li Laowai and his personal soldiers took several steps back at once, not knowing what their head was doing.

This is not OK, that is not OK, what can I do?

I have only such a little manpower, stuck in such a dangerous place, how can I fight?

If you have the ability, you will come and guard it. I will take people to charge. Damn it, I have brought cavalry before!

Li Jinglong roared loudly on the snow.

Suddenly, my feet slipped, and I staggered, falling on the ice with a slap.

The head of the family! The soldiers exclaimed.
Chapter completed!
