Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 404 Killing Intent

"A bunch of trash! I raised you for nothing! Someone, drag Jiang Yongzhong down, and report back!"

In the tent of the commander of the Qing army, Yue Tuo pointed at Kong Youde and others under the tent with a livid face and cursed.

Following Yue Tuo's order, two burly bodyguards stepped forward, knocked off the helmet of Jiang Yongzhong, the deputy general who led the attack of the Han army flag today, put his hand into his armpit, and dragged him out of the camp .

The corners of Shang Kexi's eyes twitched a few times, and his body moved slightly, but in the end he resisted the urge to intercede.

A moment later, a guard entered the tent with a long knife still dripping blood in one hand, and the money mouse tail on the back of Jiang Yongzhong's head in the other, and then knelt down on one knee and held up the head that was still bleeding from the neck. , loudly reported: "Master! Jiang Yongzhong's head is here!"

Yue Tuo waved his hand with disgust on his face, the guard stood up and bowed, and strode out with the head in his hand.

Shang Kexi saw that his confidant Ai Jiang, who had been with him for many years, lost his head in the blink of an eye, and the feeling in his heart was extremely complicated.

"King Gongshun, King Zhishun, King Huaishun, you all talk about it, it's impossible to continue fighting like this! You have to find a way to defeat the Ming army on the opposite side as soon as possible! Otherwise, how will this king explain to the emperor? With tens of thousands of strong in hand But the soldiers couldn’t even take down the camps of several thousand Ming troops. If it spreads, what is the prestige of my Eight Banners! Everyone discusses that the Ming army must be wiped out today!”

The more Yue Tuo said, the more anxious he became.

He suddenly got up and left the seat, frowning, and walked back and forth in the spacious tent with his hands behind his back.

It has been five days since he led the army, and he failed twice against the Ming army.

In the first round, there was still the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, but today's defeat in the second round has nothing to do with underestimating the enemy.

If this can't be taken down again, it is estimated that Jierhalang will let the two white flags come to replace him. At that time, he can only return to the back line in despair and watch the Dorgon brothers make meritorious deeds.

In today's battle, the Han Army Banner suffered more than 300 casualties, and the Xianghong Banner also suffered nearly [-] casualties. Almost all of the hundreds of shield vehicles were destroyed, but they didn't even have a chance to fight the Ming Army.

The firearms of this Ming army are terrible.

He watched the whole process from a high place behind.

Especially in the continuous explosion at the end, almost none of the Qing troops in it could escape.

After Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming looked at each other, Kong Youde came forward and said, "My lord, you forgot one thing? You forgot about the Mongolian Eight Banners in Ningyuan, right? Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to fight the Ming army with infantry. It's not that our army is not brave enough, but that we can't fight in close quarters at all! The slave feels that it is better to put the Mongolian Eight Banners' iron cavalry on Ningyuan's side for surveillance. Pull one back and use the iron cavalry to charge the Ming army camp, when the time comes, the infantry will follow behind, once the charge is successful, the rear will take the opportunity to cover up the kill, so the Ming army will be defeated!"

"I think King Gongshun's words are right! The pawns charge forward from fifty steps away, and it takes at least twenty breaths to reach the Ming army. This gives the Ming army time to release their weapons calmly. Raise the speed of the horse, and reach the top speed at fifty paces, and the remaining fifty paces are reached in an instant, and the Ming army's firecrackers are too late! Even if there are casualties, there are few infantrymen from far away!"

Shang Kexi also followed Kong Youde's words and continued to persuade.

"My lord, this slave agrees with the words of King Gongshun and King Zhishun. This strategy is indeed the only feasible strategy at present. In addition, the slave feels that after the Mongolian iron cavalry arrives, our army will destroy the Ming army with red cannons before rushing into battle." For the fortifications, wait for the Ming army to have no shelter in front of them, and then charge forward with a cavalry team, which is more appropriate!"

After Geng Zhongming came out to salute, he also expressed his own suggestion.

The three of them already had the same thought: if the fight continues like this, Yue Tuo will definitely send the Han army flag to take the lead, and all the casualties will be his own subordinates. It's not that important in front of you.

Although the damaged manpower can be supplemented by young and strong men from the coat, but this war is not only possible with a large number of people, but with enough training before going into battle.

Now meritorious deeds or not meritorious deeds is the second priority, first to preserve one's own strength, after much deliberation, Kong Youde thought of Meng Ba Banners.

Just let the group of tartars take the place of dead ghosts.

Yue Tuo, who had stopped for a long time, became more and more reasonable as he listened, and the cloudy face just now turned into a smile: "Okay, okay! When it comes to charging into battle, you Han people are no good, but when it comes to ghost ideas, you are still Han people." More thoughts! Although this king has thought about this matter, he is afraid that there are Ming army soldiers on the side of Ningyuan. Once our army’s defense force is weak and the Ming army rushes to rescue them, it will be a bit tricky! How about this, this king I ordered that three thousand Mongolian Eight Banners be dispatched here, King Zhishun, you immediately lead your troops to move to Ningyuan, so that the troops in Ningyuan will not be weakened!"

When the Qing army attacked the Qin army camp for the second time, Chen Qiyu in Zhenyuan Fort was summoning the generals in the fort to assign tasks.

There are nearly [-] troops stationed in the small Zhenyuan Fort, of which [-] soldiers from the Beijing camp are considered Chen Qiyu's standard battalion, and the remaining [-] people are from the original Liaoxi army.

The more than 800 Liaoxi officers and soldiers were led by He Feng, the general guard of the Ningyuan branch, and Li Lu, a guerrilla. Among them, He Qian had more than [-] people under his command, and Li Lu led [-] people.

The two were originally stationed in Ningyuan, but before Sun Chuanting led the army to arrive, the Ministry of War transferred them to Desheng Fort together.

The official ranks of the generals in command of the Ming Dynasty are generally divided into four ranks from high to low: chief soldier, deputy chief soldier, general, and guerrilla.

Although high-ranking generals have the right to command troops, such as a general who has deputy commanders, generals, and guerrillas under his command, generals above these generals also have their own territories and subordinates, and they are usually stationed in defense areas. To a large extent, The general soldiers have little restraint on them.

Another example is He Qian and Li Lu. Although He Qian's official rank is a general, he has no jurisdiction or command over the lower-level guerrilla Li Lu.

A few days ago, after learning that the Qing army was coming, Chen Qiyu immediately dispatched He Feng and Ye Bushou under Li Lu's subordinates in the fort to investigate the movements of the Qing army.

Due to the fact that there were too many Qing troops stationed in the east, Chen Qiyu was not aware of the results of the Qing army's attack on the Qin army's camp, but this did not prevent him from being accurate about the general deployment and purpose of the Qing army. judgment.

After ordering Yebushou to investigate the enemy's food and grass storage places outside Ningyuan City, Chen Qiyu decided to send a small team of daredevils to attack the enemy camp at night, set fire to the enemy's food and grass, and force the Qing army to retreat.

"He apologizes, Li Lu, have you prepared properly for what I ordered? This matter is related to the success or failure of the entire battle situation, and there is no room for negligence. If there is no result, then don't blame this officer for using military law to attack! "

Chen Qiyu, dressed in a red crane men's suit, sat majestically on the main seat in the lobby of the garrison office. Chen Qizhi stood beside him, and He Feng, Li Lu, and Han Guan, the general manager of Qianying, stood at the bottom of the hall to listen to orders.

"Scholar, I have recruited 800 brave soldiers from among the [-] people under my command, and I will die just waiting for the command of the Grand Scholar!"

Seeing that He Qian didn't make a statement, Li Lu hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands and saluted and replied.

"He sorry, what's the situation on your side? Why didn't you reply to my words?!"

After Chen Qiyu nodded slightly at Li Lu, he looked at He Apologetic with a bad tone.

"To the great scholar, the humble position only recruits three people, which is no match for Li Gueran, so I dare not answer!"

He Qian glanced at Li Lu in dissatisfaction, and replied hastily with his hands clasped in a perfunctory tone.

Li Lu lowered his eyes calmly and did not meet his eyes, while Han Guan glared at him with extreme displeasure.

When Hong Chengchou's supervisor, Jiliao Road, passed Ningyuan, He Qian, who was born as a family general of Zu Dashou, showed contempt for him, not to mention the so-called empty scholar in front of him.

Chen Qiyu was furious when he heard the words, and murderous intent arose in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face.

He is not Hong Chengchou's character who doesn't like to offend others. His decisive character is one of the main reasons for his outstanding achievements back then.

He had only been outside the pass not long ago, so he didn't know the details of He Qiang and others, but he only had a general understanding of the army in the castle.

But seeing He Qian's demeanor now, Chen Qiyu suddenly understood that this person must be relying on something, so he put on a confident look.

"Hehe, after all, it's a matter of narrow escapes. Ordinary people will inevitably have a greedy heart. If the number is too small, then only 50 people like Li Lu will be fine! How about this, General He and take a rest, I will have more later We need to talk about the reward. Li Lu, Han Guan, you two come in with me to discuss the night attack. An Su, move a seat for General He!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Qiyu got up and left his seat, and after winking at Chen Qizhi, Shi Shi ran to the second hall.

Han Guan and Li Lu hurriedly followed, He Qian still looked nonchalant, Chen Qizhi quickly moved a chair over, warmly greeted He Qian to sit down, and then chatted with him without saying a word.
