    Sun Sanjie knew that the heavy rockets had to be placed in the front, and while feeling regretful, he could only strive for more light rockets, but this was not easy.  After entering this month, although the Jingbian Army has 12,000 light rockets in stock and 1,400 heavy rockets in stock, rockets are consumables. Taking light rockets as an example, with 600 rocket launch slots, only 1,400 heavy rockets are needed.  For every twenty rounds fired from the launch slot, twelve thousand rockets are gone. ???????????????????? There is no overheating problem such as artillery in the launch slot. You can fire as many rockets as you have. If you are not careful, another hundred thousand rockets will not be enough.  Seeing what those rocket soldiers were doing, a large number of sergeants were watching, and the rocket soldiers were all very impressive. Sun Sanjie was thinking about how to ask the general for rockets, especially heavy rockets, just to have fun with one.  They rode their horses and walked along Tangshan Mountain. Tangshan Mountain is not big, only three or four miles from east to west and two or three miles from north to south. The altitude is not high, less than 100 meters. However, there are a large number of mountain springs in the southwest, called Tangquan. Later generations  There is also a resort farm here, and there is only a small village at this time.  There are many mountain springs like this in the east of Changping. There are a large number of mountain springs in Shenling Mountain and Baifu Mountain, especially the springs in Baifu Mountain are more famous.  At that time, Guo Shoujing surveyed the altitude of Baifu Spring to be 55 meters, and the altitude of Wengshan Bo (Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace) was 40 meters. He built Baifu Weir to the west of Baifu Village, and built canals along the way, making a large arc around the west mountain.  The line gathers various springs at Wengshan Park.  It also diverted water into the Jishuitan in the inner city, with a total length of 164 miles and 14 steps. It was a stunning masterpiece in the history of water conservancy. From then on, Beijing had a water supply lifeline.  At that time, the concept of altitude came into being, and it was very difficult to overcome various complex terrains on the way to divert water.  But now Baifuyan has been abandoned, and the water from Baifu Spring flows directly south into Beisha River.  Of course Sun Sanjie wouldn't think so much. There was a lot of mountain spring water here. He was only happy that the army had enough drinking water.  They rode horses and walked along the three mountains and two walls. Seeing that the defense line was strong and their morale was high, the generals around them all said happily: "General Sun, the defense line is strong, the cannons and artillery are sharp, and there are rockets. If the Tatars really come to attack, they will definitely attack."  My head was bruised and bloody under this low wall." Sun Sanjie's soft and feminine "gentle" voice sounded, and he said firmly: "That's for sure, just like the Changling Mountain defense line back then, if the slave thief is real.  If they come to attack, let them come and kill as many as they can. "Like Zhao Xuan, Sun Sanjie is a technical officer. He has a simple and honest temperament and is very bad at intrigues. However, in the Jingbian Army, he does not need intrigues and flattery. In these years, he  Relying on his own merits, he has been successfully promoted step by step.  This made him grateful to General Wang Dou. When Wang Dou first arrived at Shunxiang Fort, Sun Sanjie's wish was to lead a team of outstanding fire rifle soldiers. Unexpectedly, he had led more than 10,000 troops now, and he had no other ideas.  , just work diligently and diligently.   On the 18th, the main force of the Jingbian Army began to move towards Gonghua City, Baerling and other places. In view of the fact that the Tatar thieves spied on more sentries and riders, Wang Dou also sent more soldiers who stayed at night to drive away the cover, especially  The rogue thieves cannot be allowed to know everything behind the barrier.  On the same day, Dorgon also started to move towards the Shah River. The Shah River merged with the Nansha River and the Beisha River. The water was basically a large arc-shaped "7" shape. Going south from Changping, you will encounter the Shah River. Going west from Shunyi  , you will also encounter sand river water.  Dorgon always pays attention to the fight between the bandits and the king, especially the fight between the king and the king. He wants the snipe and the clam to fight, and the fisherman will benefit, so he must hurry up and take advantage of the time.  So after arriving in Shunyi, he only had one night's rest and was busy driving to Shahe in the west.  It was about thirty miles from the west of Shunyi City to Shahe. He did not raise any flags, but only led the Bush Xian camp of his pro-army troops to the west. Along the way were the Eight Banners marching mightily, with people like tides and flags flying.  The sea and the marching sound of horse hooves shook the earth, especially the small carts pushed by the servants of various banners were like ants.  Logistical baggage problems have always troubled Dorgon. He had many soldiers and horses, especially too many horses. The grain, rice and fodder consumed in a month would not be worse than Wang Dou's Jingbian Army, which cost about 150,000 to 600,000 shi in a month.  Or so, not counting losses.  Especially when going into battle, horses cannot eat too poorly and need to be properly supplemented with food. Otherwise, let alone fighting, how far an empty horse can run is a problem.  This is very similar to human food. By analogy, eating grass is equivalent to eating porridge, eating hay is equivalent to eating dry rice, and adding beans and grains is equivalent to adding meat. The higher the ratio, the more meat, and finally there will be enough food.  Physical work.  Therefore, even if the horses of nomadic peoples, fishermen and hunters usually roam freely on the grasslands, they must be replenished suddenly in times of war to supply some grain and beans.  Just like doing heavy work on a construction site, what is the result of not eating meat?  The horses of the Jingbian Army usually have soybean feed, and when they go into battle, they even have half of the hay.With half the proportion of grains and sufficient nutrition, the horses will naturally look tall and strong.  The horses of the Qing Dynasty cannot reach this level, but because of their large quantity, they consume a lot of money. In the two months since he sent troops, the grain and rice that Dorgon looted from Japan and Korea have been rapidly consumed. Especially the supply line is too long, so he cannot  After arriving in Shunyi, they still provided food from the territory of the Qing Dynasty.  Therefore, after entering the pass, the supply of his army was actually obtained by grabbing food on the spot and eating from the enemy. He told Wu Sangui and others that the army would not commit any crime after entering the pass. However, in fact, the place where his army passed was as clean as a bandit.  , every village and town was on fire.  It¡¯s just that Dorgon was very careful not to violate the gentry, especially not to endanger their lives if they didn¡¯t resist.  Therefore, compared with the previous burning, killing, looting, and burning of jade and stone, it gives people a refreshing feeling that there are already gentry praising the benevolence of the Qing Dynasty.  But even so, the massive supply of food and grass still troubled Dorgon. Even including the coating, he had an army of 250,000, oh, it doesn¡¯t stop now.  The daily food consumption is five to six thousand shi, which is too much, so after collecting the grain, Dorgon's first priority was to supply his Manba Banner, then the Mongolian Banner, then the Mongolians of the outer vassals, then the Han Ba ??Banner, and then  The Eight Banners of Korea and Japan, and then the newly surrendered Mingshun Army.  There are countless disputes over food every day. For example, when Ruxin surrendered to the Mingshun army, he wanted to be treated the same as the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and they even robbed each other of food. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Of course, if they win the war, they can plunder ordinary Ming people.  They were doing logistics and other chores in the camp. After arriving in Shunyi, they rushed to cut down trees, collect planks, build pontoons, and make shield carts without rest all day long.  Dorgon arrived at the edge of the Shah River. He rode his horse and looked at a hillside not far from the river. There was already a flow of people like ants on the river bank, especially in some shallow areas. Densely packed people stood in the river. Among the flags  Under Ding's roar, he was desperately building a pontoon bridge.  After the Shah River reaches this point, the water surface is not narrow, it is already more than a hundred paces. At the same time, Dorgon believed that if the army wanted to cross the river quickly, at least ten pontoon bridges were necessary, so all the trees around it were cut down.  Planks and timber from many villages and towns were also looted.  Looking at the busy scene below, Dorgon nodded. The pontoon should be ready by tomorrow.  He looked into the distance again, and there was a faint sound of gunfire. On both sides of the river, there seemed to be many horse teams chasing each other.  "The Jingbian Army has discovered us." Garbushi Xiangara Aung Bang Wubai, who was beside him, said worriedly.  Dorgon took out his telescope and looked over there for a long time, but it was too far away and could not see clearly.  He said: "This is a sure thing. Wang Dou is not an idle person. When my army arrives at Shunyi, he will definitely send people to come and ride on guard." He admired it in his heart. The Jingbian Army is indeed a well-known and powerful army in the world. They come from such a long distance.  The sentry, if placed in other Ming armies, might have already reached the city, and they suddenly woke up.  However, he said confidently: "However, our division is well-covered. Wang Dou will have a hard time figuring out the truth for a while. Although he will be on guard, his plan to attack the bandits will not change. We, the Qing Dynasty, will surely reap the benefits." Dole  Gun received information that the Jingbian Army had built a defensive line on the east side of Changping. It should be to protect his retreat, fearing that bandits would outflank his retreat.  When he found out that he had arrived in Shunyi, although Wang Dou would be suspicious, he had sent too many fine cavalry to cover the battlefield, and they could not get close until they stopped at night.  Therefore, Dorgon believes that Wang Dou still doesn't know his actual situation and whether the Shunyi troops are his main force. In addition to strengthening his vigilance, he will still attack the bandits as originally planned.  Moreover, Dorgon believed that Wang Dou came out of seclusion in the name of righteousness. His main enemy now was the bandits. Even if he knew that his main force had arrived in Shunyi, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping to defeat the bandits as soon as possible. Besides, this was his chance.  .  Dorgon admitted that Wang Dou was very strong, but he was not strong enough to fight on two fronts, so even if he found himself, he would defend himself, and then concentrate his forces to deal with the bandits, so that he could take the opportunity to contain Wang Dou's forces and sit back and watch.  They fight to the death.  A large formation is arranged in the middle, with tens of thousands of cavalry concentrated in particular. As the main force of fast maneuvers, they can easily harvest results in a short period of time.  Everything is ready and under control, except one thing.  He turned to look far to the southwest and murmured: "I wonder if the bandits can detect the soldiers and horses of our Qing Dynasty?"  A group of horses and horses of the Shun Army galloped along the Qing River flowing eastward. They wore red tassels on their heads.  Wearing a felt hat and a black uniform with the big word "Shun" on it, they are soldiers and horses from the front camp of Mianhou Yuan Zongdi.  All of them behaved competently, had superb equestrian skills, and were powerful with their long swords.?, he has both horse and foot skills, but he is a very elite veteran soldier in his camp.  They were ordered to scout, and more and more soldiers and horses gathered in Qinghedian. However, they knew nothing about the situation behind Baer Ridge. Li Zicheng sent a large group of cavalry to the ridge to scout, but they were all stopped by the Jingbian Army.  The horse team resolutely blocked it back.  This group of troops also tried to go there, but the horse muskets kept by the Jingbian army at night were too terrifying. A musket was fired from fifty or sixty steps away, and it would take half of their lives even if they were not dead. Their horse bows were completely useless.  land.  Want to use a walking bow?  The cavalry of Jingbian Army had already run far away.  So they found another way to see if they could bypass Balingling, make a big circle, and look behind the Jingbian Army from the flanks.  They were galloping on horseback. They were all good horses in the billowing smoke, and all had superb equestrian skills. As an old camp, they lived on horses all year round, galloped on horses, and fought on horses. Their equestrian skills may not be matched by many Mongolians outside the Great Wall.  .  Everything is fine except their armor.  Li Zicheng's army is considered a light armor or no armor soldiers. Even the old camp soldiers, many of them are only equipped with cotton armor, which is still in the style of hooded armor without armor leaves embedded inside.  They were galloping, and they were probably more than ten miles away from Baerling. They were about to turn when they suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, as if a group of people and horses were coming this way.  "Jingbian Army?" Immediately, the old soldiers from the front camp were on guard, and then the group of people ran closer. These old soldiers were surprised to find that this was an army they had never seen before, and they were dressed in very unfamiliar clothes.  There were about twenty of them, all wearing blue cotton armor covered with shiny spikes and thick painted iron helmets with red tassels fluttering on top.  There are several knights inside who are wearing shining silver armor, which is so thick that it seems that every piece is made of fine iron. There is also a small oblique-pointed flaming flag on the back.  There is also a cavalryman with the same thick and heavy iron armor, a flag with a flying tiger behind him, and several carved feathers on his helmet.  Their unified look is that their eyes are violent and ferocious, and their whole bodies are filled with a chilling savage aura. Each of them has various weapons on horseback, all of which are thick and heavy. The quivers hanging on them are bulging, full of various light weapons.  Arrows and heavy arrows.  "Who are these people? They don't look like the Jingbian Army." The old soldiers in the front camp looked at each other. Where did the cavalry soldiers come from? Why have they never seen them before?  ?Looking at their dress, they are also very different from the ordinary Ming army.  The fierce and barbaric aura on their bodies also makes people feel excited.  "It's strange, why did a Monkey King appear out of the ground?"  The old soldiers of the front camp were on guard. The strange cavalry team opposite also noticed the people here. They slowed down their horses and came slowly. The leader seemed to be the cavalry soldier with the eagle feathers on his helmet. He had a stiff smile on his face.  , saying in blunt Chinese that they were troops from the Qing Dynasty, who specially helped the Da Shuntian soldiers to fight against the king and the traitors.  Seeing that their expressions were kind and seemed to be trying to please them, the old soldiers in the front camp breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, their harsh nature and internal squabbling suddenly came to light.  Looking at the armor and horses of these people, greed appeared in the eyes of many people. Suddenly, the sentry general shouted: "How dare you claim to be powerful in front of the heavenly soldiers? I have never heard of the Qing Dynasty. Even if I have heard of it,  The new emperor is in office, why don't you come here to congratulate him and sneak around here?" They each looked around, and the sentry general drew his saber with a cry and shouted: "You despicable barbarians, it is such a great crime of disrespect.  , This is really a crime worthy of death, why don¡¯t you get off your horse quickly and be captured without mercy?¡± (To be continued.)
