Chapter 197

Lu Han stood still and looked at Guo Ning.

She said, "I'll make steamed cakes for you tomorrow... I still have honey, which is also very sweet."

Guo Ning laughed haha, he waved his hands vigorously, and headed back towards the barracks.

When the two were young, they ate together in the same stove in the border fort of Changzhou, and experienced many wars together.In this case, the two of them did not know how many times they had said it to each other, and they did not know how many times they had said it to their other companions.

Guo Ning first played on the battlefield when he was 13 years old.Before going out with the knife, he told Lu Han to be careful.A moment ago, he was still making some shameless jokes, but when this sentence came suddenly, Lu Han burst into tears.

Lu Han also made steamed cakes for Guo Ning that day.But there was no honey at that time, not to mention honey, and there was no brown sugar or brown sugar.

How cruel the war is, and the years have passed in a flash, the more the two have experienced, the more they know that life and death are in the sky, and sometimes it has nothing to do with being careful.

Back then, both of them were half-children. The veterans in Changzhou were more experienced than them, and many were more careful than them. Soil, there is no one in every military fort.

Even though Guo Ning's status gradually changed, Lu Han's status also increased accordingly.But when the sword is on your body, who will recognize you as an official?Even if the Marshal, Dutong, Dujian, and Wanhu of the Dajin Kingdom slipped faster than the other, many died on the battlefield in those few years.

The war is approaching, and such wishes are just wishes.

On the contrary, it was Lu Han who really wanted to say something to Guo Ning, but couldn't say it.The two are too familiar with each other, if some words must be made clear, it seems that they are deliberate.

According to Zhao Jue, in the past few days, Guo Ning often stayed up late at night and woke up at dawn.

Lu Han could see that Guo Ning was obviously thinner, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mustache was a little messy.

Lu Han also knew that when he walked out of the stable, passed the barracks, and talked and laughed with the soldiers, he would be full of energy and confidence, because otherwise, he would not be able to give the soldiers confidence, and he would not be able to lead the soldiers through life and death. .

These days, irrelevant outsiders feel that Guo Ning has become a member of the party, and wealth can be expected.But Lu Han could see clearly that in Guo Ning's eyes, there was no wealth at all.

Those official positions and powers just keep putting more pressure on Guo Ning's shoulders.Under such pressure, Guo Ning became stronger, more fierce, and more formidable.

Although the soldiers are very affectionate to Guo Ning, it is because the old soldiers in northern Xinjiang are still there.When the local people in Laizhou mentioned Guo Ning, many of them didn't even dare to breathe. After all, Guo Ning killed a lot of people, and he hadn't fulfilled what he promised to the people.

That is also impossible.

Ever since Guo Ning was attacked in Tangbo, Hebei, and Lu Han's eldest brother Lu Su died, Guo Ning has become a never-ending spinning top, and he always seems to be whipped, forced to stop every minute and every second. Stop, dancing on the tip of the knife every day, seemingly rampant, but walking on thin ice.

When you are alone, you can act as happily as you can, and it is nothing more than death.Can you do this when ten people are counting on you?What about hundreds of people?What about thousands of people?Ten thousand people or even more people?When a certain checkpoint is clearly in front of you, if you fail to pass it, you will lead everyone into the abyss?
Even if Guo Zhongyuan wins the battle in Yidu, here in Laizhou, it is impossible to be sure of victory. After all, everything will be decided in the fighting field.How the war will end in the end, Lu Han knows, Guo Ning has expectations, but he dare not say that he is sure.

Lu Han almost never participated in the military meetings held by Guo Ning, but Guo Ning would not hide any decisions from Lu Han.

So Lu Han also understood why Guo Ning suddenly said this.

There is something different about the fighting field this time.That is, the guard in charge of Haicang Town is not Guo Ning himself.

The elite troops led by Guo Ning are intended to be used at the most critical moment.For the vast majority of the time, they're recharging their batteries until the time comes.

Before that, the garrison of Haicang Town will be handed over to Wang Shixian, and the garrison of Ye County and the surrounding camps will be Jing'an Min.In the area of ​​Sanshan Port in Xiyou Town, Hao Duan is the guarding general.

Because of Guo Zhongyuan's victory, the Mongols believed that the elite of Guo Ning's headquarters was in Yidu.Therefore, the main energy of the Mongolian army will definitely be placed on the field interception of Guo Ning's headquarters.

But precisely because Guo Zhongyuan's troops were taken away from Yidu, the troops used by the Ding Navy to defend the fortresses in various places became weaker and weaker.

This is the most dangerous part of Guo Ning's plan. Even if the Mongols only use one or two parts to attack the military fort, with their power to sweep the Central Plains, compared to Laizhou, they are like Mount Tai.What's more, the strength of the Ding Navy has been divided?
The prerequisite for Guo Ning's troops to win the victory is not only the successful disguise of Guo Zhongyuan's troops, but also the need for Jing Anmin, Wang Shixian and others to be able to defend the military fort they are in charge of and create opportunities for Guo Ning.

Can they do it?

Can Haicang Town hold on?Can the military fortresses in various parts of Laizhou hold on?No one is [-]% sure.

After finalizing this battle plan, Guo Ning even suggested in private that Lu Han and others should board the ship and go to sea just in case.But this proposal was sternly rejected by Lu Han.

Lu Han told Guo Ning that she would definitely stay in Haicang Town to stabilize the heart of the defenders.

She and everyone in Haicang Town will go all out to persevere until Guo Ning finds the chance to attack and win.

Seeing Guo Ning walking away, Lu Han turned around and came out from the main entrance of Tunbao in Haicang Town.

The main entrance was half-closed, and it was said that there were more than a hundred soldiers staying behind, and Lu Han often went to the Tunbao once in a while to clean it.There was a guard at the gate, this general was Zhao Jue's capable subordinate, he was always cautious and careful.

The generals and academies of the Dinghai Navy all know that the Mongolian army attaches great importance to tongue-grabbing and torture, and strives to grasp the truth and reality in the army.Therefore, even the ordinary soldiers on our side cannot know the real situation of Guo Ning's troops.In order to conceal it, a lot of work was spent up and down.

After leaving the main entrance and walking for a while, we crossed the narrow road between the high walls of the military castles on both sides.Standing on the edge of the high ground, Lu Han suddenly saw Wang Shixian stepping up to a pier next to the ditch and shouting loudly. His subordinates ran after hearing the order and rang the gongs hanging near the left.

Most of the people who are busy building the camp at the moment have no military training, and are a mixture of smart and stupid, strong and weak. If you want to manage them well, there is one prerequisite, that is, the simpler the order, the better.

When Wang Shixian confessed his tasks every day, he tried to break down the project of the day into the smallest projects.In addition to this, there is only one military order that the people need to keep in mind, that is, once the gong gives a warning, everyone puts down what they are doing and rushes back to the camp to gather at full speed.

At this time, the gong sounded loudly, and within Lu Han's line of sight, there were countless ant-like figures who were puzzled at first, but then they reacted and went to their residence in the camp.There was unavoidable panic in the middle of the journey, some people rushed and trampled each other, and it didn't stop until the officers came and beat them with whips.

Outside the trench, farther away from the camp, a group of strong men are building a garrison platform.They also immediately threw away their tools and ran back.

Several soldiers who were supposed to be stationed at this station ran along with them at first.After running for a few steps, a soldier turned back to the half-built garrison platform and climbed to the top to have a look.

Immediately, he took out two small red-yellow, triangular flags from behind him and waved them to his camp.

After shaking it a few times, soldiers in the direction of the camp also took out a flag of the same specification and shook it, and a wisp of wolf smoke suddenly rose.The soldier then used his hands and feet to climb down the garrison platform, chasing after his companions.

A new flag language has been implemented in the army for a while. Through different flag colors and different shaking methods, it can accurately express the enemy's situation.If you are not familiar with it at first, you will find it troublesome, but now everyone is proficient in using it.

For example, Wang Shixian is very familiar with semaphore.

His face twitched a few times, and he snorted coldly: "Alkinchi from the Mongolian Army Headquarters, 100 people, [-] horses, came fast enough!"
