Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"I don't want it anymore!" As long as the topic of women is mentioned, Chi Ming has a coy look, "It's better to be a girl from the Han family. She treats people with consideration. The grassland is too fierce. Who can stand being whipped?"

Chi Ming's twitching, but Wu Shigong's spirit was lifted: "So, you still want women. You don't know that. Hitting is about kissing or loving. If you like you, you will hit you, and you won't. Pull hard..."

……

The Runing Army's journey at the beginning was quite smooth. They walked for six days without encountering any battles at all. It was not until they approached the Wuming River that they realized that there were Qing troops approaching.

"Have you been to the river to explore? Is there any shallow place where you can wade across the river?" Wu Shigong asked the detective who went to investigate.

"My lord, there are three places where the cavalry can wade through the water, but the water there doesn't reach the chest of the man, and the current is very fast, so it is definitely not possible to pass the vehicle." The scout replied.

Although Wu Shigong knew that it was the summer flood season and the water flow was heavy, he always had luck in his heart and hoped to wade across the river quickly.But now that he learned the real situation, Wu Shigong was more or less disappointed.

The current Runing Army is about twenty miles away from the Wuming River.Calculated according to the distance, it will take a day to reach the river.However, judging from the cavalry reconnaissance situation, about fifty miles behind the Runing Army, the Qing Army's cavalry has already followed up, and on the other side of the Wuming River, the Qing Army has also begun to appear.Therefore, Wu Shigong still wanted to use speed and surprise to force his way across the Wuming River.

"Go and tell Fu Sheng and Huang Ding: No matter what, let the engineering corps build the pontoon bridge first. The rest of their troops should quickly cut wood nearby and prepare more boats and planks." Wu Shigong ordered the soldiers around him road.

"promise!"

The Wuming River is not wide, nor is it narrow.The nearly [-] carts used by the Engineer Corps were all specially made by the Runing Army, and the carriages installed on the frames of these carts were all detachable.And those carriages are put into the water to become a small wooden boat.If those small wooden boats are connected and laid with planks, three or four pontoon bridges can be erected on the Wuming River.

However, these pontoon bridges are not wide enough to accommodate only one large vehicle, so with these three or four pontoon bridges, it will take three to four days for the 4000 people of the Runing Army to cross the river.And within such a long time, the two Qing armies must have already arrived, so the Runing army should not think about crossing the river smoothly.

But in any case, it is always right to erect the pontoon bridge first.However, if the Runing army forcibly crossed the river under the attack of the Qing army, it would definitely fall into a bitter battle.Even the last troops to cross the river should be used as dead soldiers to stop the Qing army chasing behind.If the response fails, it will even cause chaos in the entire army, causing huge casualties, and putting the Runing Army in a desperate situation.

The only thing to be lucky about is.The runing army's detour was beyond the expectation of the Qing army, and the Qing army also fought fiercely for days.Therefore, there are not many troops that can quickly pursue them.

Behind the Runing Army.There were 7000 cavalry led by Abatai, and they were chased by one man and two cavalry.As for the more than [-] horsemen of Oboi and Tan Tai who had consumed a lot of energy after the fierce battle, they were still two or three days away from the Runing Army.

On the other side of the river, there were even fewer Qing troops.The only ones who could rush to the shore were scattered spies of nearly a thousand riders from the Qing army, and the main forces of the Qing army Jierhalang, Azig, Haoge, and Duoduo were still two to five days away from the river. What about the distance?

At this time, Wu Shigong needed to make a decision.Either the strong man broke his arm, abandoned part of the troops, and forced the main force to cross the river to fight the main force of the Qing army on the other side; or try his best to save the entire army, but it may also end in annihilation.

The most common choice is of course to cut off the rout that has just been gathered.Even if the troops were routed and defeated, so many people blocked the further pursuit of the Qing army, and the main force of the Runing army crossed the river safely.

Afterwards, the Runing Army will form a group and rush towards Ningyuan like the exercise on Liaodong Road.According to the strength and combat effectiveness of the Runing Army, it is definitely impossible to defeat the Qing Army, but it is also very difficult for the Qing Army to get the Runing Army covered in thorns.In the end, the rest of the road is a flat grassland, and there is no terrain that can stop the Runing army.Of course, under such a passive beating, the final journey of the Runing Army will also be very difficult and passive.

But Wu Shigong didn't want to throw away those rout soldiers.Although they were collected and reorganized at that time, they had the intention of using them as cannon fodder.But when he really wanted to give up, Wu Shigong still couldn't bear it.So he racked his brains to come up with a plan that had the best of both worlds.

But to be honest, Wu Shigong is not an amazing military genius, and it is really embarrassing for him to think of a comprehensive military plan.Wu Shigong can only try his best to recall all the battle examples he knew in his previous life and this life, and he wants to find a similar one, and then imitate and learn from it.

Thinking about it, Wu Shigong's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered loudly to the soldiers: "Call all the officers over quickly! Pay attention! Call our own officers from the Runing Army."

……

On August 14th of the 400th year of Chongzhen, under the leadership of Xue Shihou, the deputy commander of Feima Town, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Runing Army galloped along the nameless river, and swam across the river in the shallow water of seven or eight miles upstream.

After that, Xue Shihou led his army to sweep across the river, expelled nearly a thousand scouts from the Qing army on the opposite bank, and opened up an open space for the Runing army to erect a pontoon bridge.

Then, the engineering regiment of the Runing Army tried its best to erect pontoon bridges. Before the evening of the same day, three bridges were erected successively, and more than 200 tanks and two battalions of the Runing Army were transported across the river, initially establishing a bridgehead.

That night, the Runing army crossed the river non-stop all night. In the early morning, a very tight car formation had been arranged on the other side of the river, and more than [-] soldiers were transported over.

Knowing that the Runing Army had begun to forcibly cross the Wuming River, the Qing Army's two groups of soldiers and horses began to speed up.At noon on the 1000th, a total of [-] troops from the two Qing armies including Jierhalang and Haoge rushed to the front of the chariot formation and began to confront the Runing army.They just wanted to prevent the Runing Army from rushing out of the bridgehead, and waited for the Qing army to arrive after the backup, and then used the method of digging trenches to surround the Runing Army in this desperate place.

And Abatai also stepped up his pace. He was going to make a desperate half-cross attack when the Runing army was crossing the river. He wanted to completely defeat the Runing army who had not crossed the river on the north bank, and wanted to completely surround the Runing army. The nameless river is here.

On the thirteenth, under Wu Shigong's strict order, the [-] cavalry of the Ming army that Wang Sheng and others had just assembled stopped the approach of the Abatai tribe after falling in the early morning.Before Wang Sheng and the others set off, Wu Shigong ordered all the food and grass around them to be confiscated, so that there was no possibility for them to flee or disobey the order.

Moreover, Wu Shigong also gave Wang Sheng and the others a death order: Wang Sheng must block the Qing army before noon, and then they will be replaced by other troops of the Runing Army.Under Wu Shigong's persecution, this Ming army knew they were going to be cannon fodder, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and do so.

So Wang Sheng and the others who were driven to a dead end had no choice but to burn their boats.But fighting is not all about determination.Although facing Abatai's Qing army, Wang Sheng and the others rushed fiercely, but when the Qing army cavalry lined up and charged, the Ming army cavalry was immediately dispersed.After that, there was a unilateral pursuit of an organized army against a scattered army.

In just one round, the Abatai tribe beheaded more than 700 cavalrymen of the Ming army, but their own casualties were negligible.The rest of the Ming army fled in panic to the main line of the Runing Army on the north bank.

As soon as Wu Shigong gathered Wang Sheng and the other defeated soldiers, he immediately put his hands on the line. He ordered the execution of the very cruel "Eleven Orders". The fate of the military order.

Then, Wu Shigong forced Wang Sheng and the others to stop him again.But this time, Wang Sheng and the others knew that there was no way out, so they worked even harder.However, there is indeed a gap between the fighting power of the Ming army and the Qing army, and the military strength is also very different, so although the battle is fierce, the scene is still one-sided.

Until now, the responses of the two warring parties have been very ordinary. It seems that the Runing Army has used those defeated soldiers as cannon fodder, and they are going to save the main force to cross the river with all their strength.

But Wu Shigong, who was watching the battle at the back, saw Wang Sheng and the others were already unable to hold on, and the Abatai army was also pressing hard. He looked at the main force of the Runing Army who had already lined up, and smiled at Yu Ji who was beside him. Said: "It's time for Wang Shoubei to call it a day. Hurry up and call gold, it's time for us to play."

Hearing the sound of Ming Jin, Wang Sheng, who was already on the verge of collapse, immediately turned and fled to the main formation.The Abatai tribe then wanted to chase and kill them, but within a few steps, they were surprised to find that a large phalanx with distinctive banners was already waiting for them in front of them.

"Come back quickly! Line up." Abate shouted loudly.The cavalry of the Qing army who were scattered in front also quickly turned around and returned to the formation, trying to form a formation again, preparing to smash the phalanx of the Runing army.

"Forward!" Wu Shigong ordered.He didn't want the Qing army to have a moment's respite. He wanted the Runing Army's phalanx to move forward and fight the Abatean army.

The sound of war drums sounded immediately, and a large square formation of 2000 people from the Runing Army marched forward to the beat of the drums.

And Wang Sheng's remnant soldiers who fled back from both sides of the phalanx were only in the early [-]s, and they all ran to gather behind Wu Shigong's army.But Wang Sheng came to Wu Shigong's body, and he saluted with respect and awe: "Commander! The young man is guilty of failing to trust him!"

Wu Shigong smiled slightly at Wang Sheng, and said: "You have tried your best. Wait here first, and see how my son-in-law fights." (To be continued...)
