Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 904 The Battle of the Wild Boar Forest (Part [-])

Zhu Yousong saw that all the shocking organs failed, and he felt emotional: "Lao Sa and Xiao Qiao are my heroes, and I will reward their father and daughter well later, if I hadn't met such good guides as them." , I don’t know how many warriors shed blood and sacrificed their lives in this wild forest.”

At this time, someone came to report that in the wild boar forest in front, the savage team appeared again, trying to attack Lao Sa's father and daughter, but was blocked by Li Quan and his wife and a group of Jinyi guards. Li Guo rushed up with thousands of troops. Zhongzheng was fighting, and Li Zicheng sent troops to surround this group of savages and cut off their way back.

When Zhu Yousong heard this, he was happy. These savages finally appeared, "Put my will and tell Li Zicheng that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Except for the leader of the savages named Lang Tan, he must be caught alive."

The decree was passed on, Zhu Yousong led the Central Route Army and hurried forward. They were not very far from Li Zicheng's team, but there was a distance from the wild boar forest on the battlefield in front of them.

When Zhu Yousong's imperial army rushed to the wild boar forest, the battle was over.The savage army dropped some corpses and ran away, but the leader of the savages was not caught. Li Zicheng and Li Guo came to plead guilty.A tiger Li Guo was also injured, and three blood marks were left on his face, obviously from being scratched.

Zhu Yousong was taken aback, didn't he say that our army has the upper hand?Surrounding these savages again, cutting off their retreat, why did they still run away?General Li is still injured, what about Li Quan and the others?
After Li Zicheng's uncle and nephew reported the incident to Zhu Yousong in detail, Zhu Yousong knew what was going on.

This team is indeed Lang Tan's team, the number is not large, only more than 3000 people.Not counting Li Quan, his wife and Liu Shi and a dozen others, Li Guo alone brought 5000 troops to fight with them.Later, Li Zicheng indeed sent troops to surround them, cutting off the way back for the savage Jurchens.

But don't look at the small number of these savages, but they are all sturdy and full-fledged savages. They often haunt the mountains and forests, with wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.Moreover, these people's movements are as fast as apes, and their movements are swift and violent. Many of them use Lianju crossbows in their hands, which are extremely powerful.

Although the expeditionary army can deal with the Tartars, but one-on-one with these savages is not their opponent at all.All of them seem to be able to fly, and this is in the middle of a mountain forest, where the trees are so dense, they dodge and move, jump and jump, as agile as apes, from one tree to another, swinging the branches to pass, It was hard to defend against the attack of the Ming army.

The Ming army had never encountered such an opponent, and it was hard to defend against, so it suffered a disadvantage.

Li Zicheng and Li Guo's uncle and nephew commanded the troops to fight desperately, and finally defeated these thousands of savages.But it is impossible to catch them, because they can escape from the trees, under the cover of the lush forest, and escape.

Under the protection of Li Quan and others, the old Saf girl was not injured, but they followed the savages.

After the battle, Li Zicheng and Li Guo's uncle and nephew checked the casualties. The wildlings had no more than a hundred casualties, while Zhang Yizhan's Ming army lost hundreds, so the price of victory in this battle was a bit high.

In any case, this battle was won, and Zhu Yousong did not blame this uncle and nephew. Since ancient times, there has been no general who has not lost a battle, and victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists.

The people led by Lang Tan are really tough. If they can conquer them and let them deal with those big noses, it would be a strategy.

Turning enemies into friends and letting them deal with enemies is of course more valuable and meaningful than killing them.

For a moment, such an idea flashed through Zhu Yousong's mind.

At this time, it was already evening, and Zhu Yousong's decree sent the team to stop moving forward.The Wu family father and son are good at using soldiers. The terrain in this area is so complicated, and it is so dangerous during the day. If they fall into the trap of savages at night, the loss outweighs the gain.Let's wait for Lao Sa and his father and daughter to come back before making a conclusion.

So the Ming army found a favorable terrain and set up camp. Their camp must not only guard against these savages, but also guard against wild beasts.

As night fell, the black sky covered like a cauldron.

After dinner, Zhu Yousong sent a group of people to investigate the enemy's situation at night and waited for the news of Li Quan and his wife in the imperial tent.

Huimei kept a thousand muskets and pistols in her hand, stepping up patrols to protect the safety of the imperial tent.

Among the beauties around him, there is only one Ma Jinhua left now, and there are usually Liu Chunhong and Xiao Liu, but there are a few less all of a sudden, Zhu Yousong is still a little uncomfortable, feeling that there is nothing around him.

"Your Majesty, the pommel horse has worked hard all day, you are tired, let the concubine serve His Majesty to rest earlier."

After Zhu Yousong drank a cup of strong tea, Ma Jinhua took off her military uniform and put on a daughter's costume, a heroine, showing her daughter's tenderness and making her look even more charming.

Lang Tan came to see Wu Bai in Dazhai, Shiziling, Savage Valley, and pleaded guilty.

At this time, Wu Bai and several clan leaders were discussing matters. Seeing Lang Tan's defeat so quickly, Wu Bai and others were also surprised.

Especially for these clan leaders from several ethnic groups, the Wu family father and son are their spiritual pillars in their hearts. Isn't there a lot of traps in front of them?Didn't Lang Tan easily defeat Li Zicheng's thousands of troops with only a few hundred people?How did you lose so badly this time?Even the wild boar forest that the general gave him was lost.

Even Wu Bai himself was taken aback, and his face was full of anger. Lang Tan fell to his knees and told what happened: "Father, please calm down. We were sure to stick to the wild boar forest and win more with less, but I didn't expect Later, the Ming army came with a large number of reinforcements to surround us and cut off our escape route. In order to preserve our strength, the boy chose to give up the forest and retreat, otherwise the whole army would be wiped out."

For these remnants of the Qing Dynasty, the wild boar forest is not an important fortress, but just a stronghold for them to defend against the enemy. It is also a wise move to preserve strength and lose such a position.

What Wu Bai is angry about now and what he doesn't understand is that they spent a lot of time and thought and laid many traps for the tens of miles ahead. How did the Ming army break through so quickly?After suffering a loss, they should be walking on thin ice, like facing an abyss, lingering and holding back. Therefore, Wu Bai has dealt with these Han people for a long time, and knows that they are used to fighting in the plains, attacking and killing and defending, and fighting guerrillas in the deep mountains and old forests. They should be free.

"Father, there are traitors among us. It is said that there are two Daur fathers and daughters leading the way for them."

"There is such a thing, the major general figured it out?" The Daur people couldn't hold back their faces.

"It's true, their father and daughter shot us, several brothers."

"Scum, I'll bring a few people over to clean them up!"

"Lang Tan is not talented, and I am willing to help you!"

　Sending the blessings of the Dragon Boat Festival in advance, I wish everyone can be like zongzi, full of wishes and bulging pockets.
