Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Xiao Ming is very motivated now, and he speaks so simply." Wu Shigong's joke made everyone burst into laughter.

Wu Shigong didn't care about Chi Ming's flushed face, and he continued, "But it's not good to have no name. The mountain pass is called Wuming Mountain Pass, the river is called Wuming River, and the grassland is called Wuming Grassland!"

Wu Shigong's astonishing level of naming brought the laughter in the big tent to an abrupt end.Everyone's facial muscles are stiff, their mouths are wide open, and they don't know what to say.

Hadan Battelle's lips twitched a few times, trying to tell the difference.But he suddenly remembered Wu Shigong's temper, so flattering smiles filled his face immediately, and he cheered loudly: "Good! The name chosen by the master is good! What a literary talent!"

As expected, Hardan Battelle's flattery immediately got Wu Shigong's admiring eyes.

After joking and enlivening the atmosphere, Wu Shigong started a serious discussion.He asked, "Old Ha! How many days will it take to walk the road you mentioned?"

"If it's a caravan, it will take seven or eight days!"

Wu Shigong immediately calculated in his mind.The caravan will go for seven or eight days, and the army will go for half a month.It's not that the marching speed of the army is not as fast as the caravan, but that it takes too long to set up camp, basically walking for half a day and setting up camp for half a day.Coupled with the need to fight along the way, the time will double to about a month.

Originally, the Ru Ning Army had only stored food for one and a half months, and with so many routs, the food and grass were a little tight, and the time for walking was also a little tight.As long as the Qing army is slightly blocked in the front, the food and grass of the Runing army may not be enough.

However, if you choose the road along the coast, the main force of the Qing army is densely covered there, and you will have to fight a few fierce battles.Not to mention if the Qing army dug a few more trenches.The Runing Army can't stand such an interception, and it may take even longer, so it's better to send surprise soldiers to go around the long way.

"Thousands of mountains and rivers. You have to pass one pass. Ha! Tell me again, how far is the unnamed pass from here? How is the terrain there?" Wu Shigong asked again.

"In the early thirty miles from here, the mountain pass..."

……

The people in the big tent began to understand the situation at the unnamed pass.After inquiring in detail, Wu Shigong finally decided: "Today is still a full day's rest! Take care of yourself, and you may not have much time to rest in the next month. Deploy at night and march to the mountain pass at night to completely occupy and control this area. Yamaguchi."

"The people of the cavalry should also take turns to dispatch during the day, and they must move towards the southeast continuously, making a look of scouting. Anyway, we must grasp the square inch, so that the tartars can't see the flaws. But don't lose too much. At night, we will Go southwest. Remember! The key to capturing the mountain pass is to be surprised!"

"promise!"

"Also! When marching in a hurry at night, arrange a supervisory team on both sides of the army and the rear. If there are any laggards, they will be shot and killed. If there are soldiers who cannot march, let them propose earlier and let them take a cart or Horses are fine."

"promise!"

The Runing Army dispatched surprise soldiers to travel a long distance.Sooner or later it will be discovered by the Qing army.But it was discovered.The later the discovery, the better.Therefore, Wu Shigong did not let a single soldier fall behind to prevent being captured by the Qing army, so as to conceal the news that the Runing army had turned.

According to Wu Shigong's order, the entire Runing Army rested in place for a whole day.During this period of time, the defeated soldiers of the Ming army continued to arrive, and it was evening.The Runing Army has gathered more than 7000 defeated Ming troops.

Among these broken soldiers, there were more than 400 lightly and seriously wounded.The rest of the defeated soldiers at least had the ability to defend themselves after being armed with the weapons picked up by the Runing Army.But to Wu Shigong's delight, there were more than 800 cavalry among those defeated soldiers.But it also proves.The cavalry's success rate will indeed be much higher when escaping.

Most of these cavalry were military officers like Wang Sheng and their personal soldiers and family servants. They were all professional soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, so Wu Shigong also brought these cavalry with him to personally command them.

Wu Shigong organized the rest of the defeated troops again, and then incorporated Fu Sheng's troops into it.In this way, with Fu Sheng as the leader and Huang Ding as the deputy, a new army of 5000 people was formed.

In the evening of the same day, the entire Runing Army marched for more than 1000 li in a hurry and passed through the Wuming Pass without any surprise or danger.The more than [-] cavalry of the Qing army who were hovering around the Runing Army to observe the movement could not stop the actions of the Runing Army at all, and they were caught off guard by the sudden turn of the Runing Army.

But at this time, Huang Taiji, who felt that the victory was decided, rushed back to Shengjing non-stop because his favorite concubine, Concubine Chen, was seriously ill.But in this way, the Qing army temporarily lost its unified command.

During Huang Taiji's personal expedition this time, he let the oldest Dai Shanliu Shengjing preside over it.He also sent Dorgon to be responsible for the siege of Jinzhou, preventing Dorgon from making new contributions and increasing his prestige in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Huang Taiji's departure left the remaining Qing army without a leader, because the prestige of the commanders of the Qing army from all walks of life was almost the same, and no one could convince the crowd.

So after the commanders-in-chief of the Qing army communicated with each other and unified their opinions, the Runing army had already passed the Wuming Mountain Pass and headed towards the Wuming River.Therefore, the unprepared Qing army could only be divided into two troops, one with 1000 troops, galloped to the south bank of the Wuming River, and blocked the Runing Army from crossing the river; the other with 3000 troops followed the Runing Army, When the Runing army is crossing the river, they must attack halfway.

"Xiao Ming! Now that you've arrived outside the pass, why not find a girl on the grassland! How about a loss if you return empty-handed?" Wu Shigong was in a very happy mood because he passed the unnamed mountain pass smoothly, so these days, he Just kept making fun of Chi Ming.

"What's so good about it?" Chi Ming muttered, "If you eat horse meat every day, you'd be stupid."

In order to save food and grass, Wu Shigong ordered the collection of dead horse corpses as rations.So I have been eating horse meat these days.And these dead horses were not bled, and they were boiled in salt water and eaten immediately, so there was no taste at all, so these people in the Runing Army felt a little nauseous.

"Don't just think about eating!" Seeing that Chi Ming was teased, Wu Shigong became even more enthusiastic, "Girls in the grassland can play the matouqin again, and after falling in love with you, they will chase you and whip the whip again. How refreshing? Just think about it." beautiful."

"Master is really knowledgeable and talented! He is really familiar with the things on the grassland. General Xiao Chi, do you want me to introduce you to someone?" Although Hardan Battelle at the side knows that the man playing the matouqin is a man on the grassland, not a girl on the grassland. , but he was still joking around, flattering Wu Shigong deeply.
