Zhou Xian and Huang Fei rode their horses, followed by dozens of soldiers, walking together on the streets of Deli Yingcheng.

It was originally the second strongest city in Fuzhou after Fuzhou City, and it was even more a place where Haoge led his troops to attack Jinzhou to store military supplies. But later, Han Kuo led his troops to land at Beixinkou, broke into Fuzhou, and took it down in one fell swoop. Then the Qing army was in a hurry, and Han Kuo had no choice but to lead his troops to evacuate and burned it into a white land with a fire.

At this moment, looking around, there was a broken image of fire burning.

There are collapsed houses everywhere on both sides of the street, and rocks and bricks are thrown everywhere. Half of the burned wooden stakes are dark, pointing straight to the sky like spears, giving people an inexplicable sense of tragic and desolation. The soil and walls are burned to purple and black, and dust covers the ground, and they float around with the wind.

Occasionally, I would see some people who looked like three people and seventy-seven-thin-like ghosts constantly flirting in the ruins, looking for everything they thought they could be available. When I heard the movement, I saw soldiers walking on the street. I suddenly scattered and ran in different directions. They were deeply afraid of the soldiers.

Zhou Xian turned his head and looked at Huang Fei, and asked with some anticipation: "Huang Qianshi, how is this place?"

Huang Fei nodded gently and said, "Built by the river, there is a ferry not far away, and it is only 12 miles away from Fuzhou City. Although the city is seriously burned, the city walls are preserved intact. If the waste in the city is cleaned up, the four walls are reinforced, and barracks are built in the city, it can be turned into a military city in a very short time. But the military gate, is it really necessary for us to divide our troops to station here at this place?"

Zhou Xianxiao said, "Be prepared for any trouble! Although we currently occupy Fuzhou City, most of the surrounding areas are occupied by local tyrants. These people have different thoughts and different goals. Who knows how they will choose in the future! Building such a military city is to help each other on the one hand and help each other. On the other hand, it is also to prepare a retreat for our army. Even if we fail in the future, we can retreat south from here. After all, Fuzhou City is covered with plains on all sides, so it is difficult to defend Jinzhou City."

"Before you say you're going to win, you'll be defeated first. The military is far-sighted and beyond what Huang can do."

Zhou Xian waved his hand and smiled, "Huang Qianshi, when did you learn to flatter? This is completely different from your style!"

Huang Fei smiled and did not answer this, but said, "Military Sect, Han Kuomingrui is at ease, I will leave this matter to him!"

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Well, let's leave it to him! Huang Qianshi, our army has already taken the Jin and Fuzhou. The next goal is to be guarded by the Qing army and Gaizhou, which is mostly dominated by plains. There, the Qing army can fully utilize their cavalry advantages, which is exactly our disadvantage. In addition, there are not like Jinzhou and Fuzhou, where there are complex and changeable hilly terrain, and there are not many places for us to use. What do you think we should do next to gain an advantage in the battle with the Qing army?"

Huang Fei frowned and said, "Military Army, after I captured Fuzhou, I have also carefully considered this issue. But after thinking about it, I found that if I want to win, I can only strengthen the military strength of our army, especially a cavalry that faces the Qing army directly."

Zhou Xian brigades and said, "This is also what I have always considered. Before winning the battle, our army won more than 5,000 best war horses, and I plan to hand them all over Jimu. In addition to the fifth battalion, another cavalry camp will be added, and the number of people is temporarily set to be 4,000."

Huang Fei smiled and said, "It's good, it's just that I'm afraid of Gao Yi. Tan Shimai and others will have a lot of opinions on this. They have always felt that equipping a certain number of cavalry in infantry will be more conducive to combat. After capturing so many horses this time, I have been jealous of them and have asked me about the allocation plan for this batch of horses in private many times. If all the military gates were given to Jimu, they wouldn't be so angry."

Zhou Xian said "ah" and patted the back of his head and said, "This... it seems that I have promised them before that they will equip the infantry with some cavalry, but I accidentally forgot."

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do it! There are more than a thousand horses on Jimu, and the captured ones are also a little extra. Two thousand horses are drawn out, each battalion is 500. As for whether to use them in a concentrated manner or in a scattered manner, the leaders and generals of each battalion will be the main points."

Huang Fei nodded and said, "It's so good."

Zhou Xian continued: "Huang Qianshi, in addition to this, I have another suggestion. Please listen first and see if it is feasible?"

As he said that, Zhou Xian turned off his horse, looked for the flat ground beside him and squatted down. He took out the Yangwen dagger from his arms and drew it on the ground, which seemed to be very casual.

Huang Fei squatted down and looked at the graffiti on the ground, his face a little confused.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Xian had finished painting. He pointed to the ground and said, "Look, there are many mountains and forests between Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and there are not many roads for the army to pass through. And now they have been guarded by the Qing army with heavy troops. If you want to attack Gaizhou in large numbers, you must first break through these dangerous passes in front of you. At present, our army is insufficient and does not have the strength to take them down. Even with that kind of strength, it may not be able to succeed under the strict defense of the Qing army."

Huang Fei nodded and agreed very much.

Zhou Xian continued: "But the Qing army has its own shortcomings in defending like this, which is the outer wall and the inner paper drum. Most of the troops are deployed in the front, which will inevitably lead to the empty force behind the rear. If our army can directly bypass these passes and raid directly to the rear of the Qing army, it will not only put huge pressure on the Qing army to guard the pass, but also directly disrupt the Liaodong hinterland controlled by the Qing Dynasty. After all, there are few Manchus, and most of the people in Liaodong are still Han people. Although they are afraid in their hearts, they will inevitably be full of hatred for the Qing Dynasty. If we can connect these people and encourage them to incite to invade the Qing Dynasty. On the one hand, the war can be burned to the controlled area of ​​the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, it can greatly restrain the Qing Dynasty's troops and create opportunities for our future march."

Huang Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Military Sect, your idea is very good, but how can we bypass these checkpoints in front of us! The Qing army is now focusing on these checkpoints!"

Zhou Xian said: "Although the pass was controlled by the Qing army, they could not have enough troops to control all the mountain paths. Even if they control the mountain paths, they could not control the entire mountain forest. Do you see these paths I have drawn? They can lead to the hinterland of Liaodong."
