Dozens of rapid-fire cannons are being prepared for firing. As the only cannon in the entire camp that can hit Gushan Fort, these days, every time a cannon is fired, many soldiers and officers from other battalions come to watch.
.
Although they stood far enough away, even being dizzy and staggering when the cannon was fired, these people were happy to come to the artillery camp every day.
They couldn't even see clearly the busy movements of the soldiers in the artillery formation. They could only see the figures of the soldiers in the artillery camp moving between the positions one by one. But after every huge roar, they were cheered and cheered, and the scene was complete.
It was so enthusiastic that it was like watching a big show.
Today, as usual, many people have gathered around. These people have no rotating duties and are not even combat soldiers. As long as the people from the artillery battalion don't drive them away, no one cares about them.
They gathered together and pointed at the artillery array in the distance, but a horse came galloping from a distance, said a few words to the commander of the artillery team, and then moved away the soldiers who were blocking the cannon one by one.
They began to move the coverings back again.
"What's going on? Are you not going to fight today?"
Everyone immediately started talking, and some people thought they were smart, "There must be not enough shells. We are waiting for the shells. Don't worry, we can wait!"
After a while, the person who went to inquire about the news came back with a look of lack of interest: "Let's all disperse. Let's disperse. There is an order from above. There will be no fighting today!"
"The Tatars surrendered?"
"What good thing are you thinking about? If you surrender so easily, are you still called a Tatar?"
"That's not true. This is what we did when we were in Liaoyang. What's the difference between now and Liaoyang? This Gushan Fort is much smaller than Liaoyang..."
Everyone started talking again, but they all dispersed and returned to their military camps. After a while, everything on the artillery array returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
In the Gushanbao camp, Li Zicheng and Sun Yuanhua were staring at each other with big eyes.
"I have given the order to stop the bombardment today, but Mr. Sun, with just such a letter, if the Tatars deceive us and prepare a back-up plan, then we will have to deal with it very hard!"
"The war is your business!" Sun Yuanhua looked at Li Zicheng in front of him and said seriously: "The order given to me by the commander is to contact the Tatars, try to get what we want from the Tatars, and bombard Gushan
The purpose of the fort was to punish the Tatars for not keeping their promises, but now the Tatars are anxious, of course we have to give them this opportunity, and this is also an opportunity for us!"
He looked at Li Zicheng earnestly and said: "General Li, if our Overseas Defense Department wants to capture Zhenjiang Fort, there is no need to wait until today!"
"One day, I'll give you one day!"
Li Zicheng shook his head. He didn't think that shelling the opponent's military fort was punishing the opponent. After all, he had to force out the opponent's troops and kill thousands or eight hundred of them. Is this called punishment?
There is a letter over there, so stop it, there is still a war here, it has become a child's game of playing house.
"After one day, if you don't give me a result, we will continue. Lord Jiang's order is for the Gushanbao camp to maintain the offensive against the Tatars. If we don't fight, how can we say we maintain the offensive!"
"Then you have to at least wait until I come back from there tomorrow!" Sun Yuanhua laughed: "Old rule, decide the location at the artillery camp. If the Tatars cheat, I will drag them all to be buried with them even if I die!"
"I'll send someone to take you there!" Li Zicheng waved his hand: "If something happens to you, no matter where I put my face, just go, just go!"
It was already past midnight, and by the time Sun Yuanhua led his people to the mountain col, Hauge was already waiting there with his people. In the distant horizon, the sun was already slowly setting, and night would come soon.
"Is it Mr. Sun?"
Hauge greeted him from a distance, as if he was meeting a friend for many years: "Hauge has been waiting for a long time again. Thank you, Mr. Sun, for coming to the appointment!"
"Did the commander change before the battle?" Sun Yuanhua looked at the opponent and behind him. The opponent's guards seemed to show a trace of sincerity. Hauge's guards only had one or twenty people, and they were far from threatening the Ming Dynasty.
"It's not me, it's Dorgon!"
Hauge said seriously: "Dorgon succeeded Abate and became the coach of Gushan Fort, and I am just here to continue the previous agreement with the Zhenjiang Fort Ming Army!"
"It's the Overseas Town of the Ming Dynasty!" Sun Yuanhua said: "How do you plan to continue the agreement between us and you!"
"My father Khan wants to meet with Mr. Jiang to have a good talk about the relationship between Daikin and you!" Hauge said: "If Gushan Fort continues like this, it will be of no benefit to Daikin or you.
Isn’t that so?”
"It's Commander Jiang!" Sun Yuanhua once again corrected the mistake in the other party's words and said with great dissatisfaction: "Until now, don't you know who you are fighting with?"
"Okay, it's Commander Jiang!" Hauge said in a very talkative manner: "Commander Jiang is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he knows that the current situation is not caused by either of our two families. As far as we know, Commander Jiang
The troops of the Overseas Zhenfu Division do not seem to be under the control of the Liaodong Ming Army, which shows that there are still topics that can be discussed between Commander Jiang and my father Khan!"
"Then what?" Sun Yuanhua smiled coldly: "You don't think that our coach will be put in danger so easily just by your invitation!"
"of course not!"
Haug smiled and said calmly: "The meeting location is of course a place acceptable to both parties. Security issues should not be an obstacle to this meeting, and we will also show enough sincerity to promote this meeting."
The meeting can take place!”
Sun Yuanhua pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I can't make the decision on this matter, and I can't give you any answer. However, I can report your invitation to my commander. As for whether my commander has this intention with you."
Meeting with the Great Khan, that is his choice!"
"Of course, this is what it should be!" Haug nodded: "No matter what Commander Jiang's reply is, I will be waiting for his reply at Gushan Fort!"
After both parties finished speaking, they were cautiously preparing to leave. Suddenly, Hauge stopped Sun Yuanhua: "Master Sun, it is best to keep this matter a secret. Even the generals of the Ming Army on your side, it is best not to disclose it.
Whether it is for Commander Jiang or my father Khan, it will be beneficial to everyone if this matter is not known to outsiders!"
"Of course I know the seriousness of the matter!" Sun Yuanhua nodded coldly: "The next time we bombard Gushan Fort, that's when I bring a reply. Then, just wait for me here!"
