Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 922 Cromwell's Use of Soldiers (Part Two)
In the end, Zhu Yousong made another bold decision, placing his imperial camp on a small hill more than ten miles away from the main force with great fanfare.

Both Song Xiance and Zhang Xianzhong disagreed with this decision, the enemy was outnumbered, if the enemy came to steal the camp, there would be no time to save him.

"I just asked them to steal the camp, otherwise I wouldn't bother with this matter." Zhu Yousong laughed.

"But Your Majesty, this place is more than 1 miles away from the mainland. These European powers all use firearms. If the troops who offer their loyalty to the commander-in-chief are entangled by the enemy and cannot be rescued, the consequences will be very dangerous. It is not as good as fighting with the Qing Tartars inside the country. Fighting the bandits, we can only win this battle, not lose, the imperial battalion must not be too far away from the troops, it should be in the rear, your Majesty should think twice." Song Xiance said these words regardless Zhang Xiangzhong beside him blurted out the word "Liu Thief" because of his anxiety.

"Of course I know that this battle is related to the overall situation, but the enemy has the enemy's strategy, and we have our own strategy. The enemy may not be the enemy, and ours may not be the enemy. If you don't take the risk, you can only use it like this. We are outnumbered is not good for us, but what is even more bad for us is that our front line is stretched too long, almost like a lone army going deep, and it is a problem to not solve the problem of food and grass supply quickly, and the European powers are in their home At the gate, of course they won’t be afraid if it lasts, let alone defeat, if we can’t march victoriously, we’ve already lost.”

Zhang Xianzhong listened to Zhu Yousong's words, and nodded again and again, "Your Majesty's words are high-level, but it's too risky to do so. Even though Your Majesty's miraculous skills are world-class, and all the soldiers of the imperial camp are brave and good at fighting, but there are too many great powers, two fists can't beat four hands , Hungry tigers are afraid of wolves, not to mention that they all use weapons, if His Majesty insists on doing this, the generals of the humble officials must allocate at least 4 escorts."

Zhu Yousong shook his head and said: "General Jingxuan's words are wrong, of course I will be safe if I do this, but if the scale of the imperial camp is blown up too large, or the soldiers are ambushed secretly, it is easy to be detected by the spies of the Allied forces. Then our plan is useless, I just want to use myself as a bait to attract more allied forces, disrupt their strategic deployment, not to mention too many, if I can restrain 1/3 of his soldiers Horses, leave the rest to your main force and special warfare battalion. If we advance by land and water, we will be sure of victory. Therefore, the size of my imperial battalion must not exceed 1. A battalion of 3000 musketeers and [-] armored cavalry are enough."

Song Xiance and Zhang Xianzhong saw that Zhu Yousong was so stubborn, but it was not unreasonable, and it was inconvenient to say more, they could only shake their heads and sigh, hoping that God would bless them and win this battle.

Zhu Yousong's 4000 imperial battalion was thus divided.This is a conspicuous location on a small hill more than ten miles away from Zhang Xianzhong's main force.

Zhu Yousong also told Zhang Xianzhong and Song Xiance: "If my imperial camp is attacked by surprise, you should not rush to rescue the troops, but wait calmly and wait for the opportunity. Your task is not to save you, but to concentrate your superior forces to crush the allies. main camp."

"Your Majesty, even if I die, I dare not obey orders. No matter how great a victory is won, no matter how many enemies are wiped out, no matter how much territory is gained, it will not be as safe as Your Majesty's safety."

"You misunderstood what I mean. I know what I mean. You have to let me play the role of bait. Don't you feel relieved about the two of us next time?"

"I dare not wait."

"If they really come to attack my imperial camp, I will be a warrior just like every soldier in the imperial camp. I will put myself to death and survive. There will be no emperors here, only battlefields, and only winners and losers."

Zhang Xianzhong and Song Xiance felt that Zhu Yousong's words were perfect, and when they returned to their camp, Zhang Xianzhong uttered His Majesty's original words at the swearing-in meeting where all the expeditionary forces participated. It's the Lord of Wancheng who went online to join the battle as an ordinary soldier, how about my generation?
Therefore, they all raised their arms and shouted that this battle must be won, and they must fight to the end for His Majesty and Daming.

In Zhu Yousong's imperial camp, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huimei, Xiaoliushi, Xiaoqiao, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and many other escort generals, as well as a brocade guard with hundreds of people.The entire imperial camp even counted Zhu Yousong, but there were no more than 500 people.

Zhu Yousong looked at An Lin, the accompanying eunuch, "From now on, my imperial camp has entered a dangerous period, and may be attacked by the coalition forces of European powers at any time. I wonder if you are loyal to me, and whether you have martial arts? For a few days, you don't have to wait in the imperial camp, but stay with General Zhang Jingxuan for now, and after this battle is over, you will stay by my side."

An Lin knelt down with a plop, and he didn't know whether he thought the master was testing his loyalty in this way, or thought it was the best time to show his loyalty, or was really moved by Zhu Yousong.

"Thank you, the emperor, for still thinking about the slaves. The slaves have a low life. They were born to serve the emperor. Even if they die in battle, the slaves must stay by the emperor's side. In addition, I will not hide it from the emperor. Since this time, the slaves have been running errands. I don't even have the ability to send letters, so why talk about serving the emperor, the emperor is so powerful, the slaves can't be too unbearable, so during this period of time, the slaves have been pestering Miss Xiaoliu to teach herself three tricks, and since then the slaves have been doing it every day. Get up early and persist in practicing kung fu, and it has been nearly a year now, and the kung fu of the slaves has also improved a lot, although they are nothing in front of the emperor, but they can kill the enemy with a knife at critical moments, so that they will not be slaughtered."

The eunuch was not a normal man, but now he has practiced martial arts. Zhu Yousong was a little touched that a eunuch is so motivated, "It's rare that you are so loyal, it's really hard for you."

The position of the European Allied Forces twenty miles away.

Cromwell set up a pocket formation for Zhu Yousong, but after several days passed, the Ming army refused to drill in.In the past, the Ming army was invincible in every attack and invincible in all battles. They would capture every city and wipe out every enemy. They couldn't wait.However, this time, the 10,000+ expeditionary force of the Ming army did not move for the first time. What do you mean?
The commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Cromwell, couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly held a high-level military meeting to discuss countermeasures. The deputy commander-in-chief, Mazarin, also attended the meeting, as well as the commanders of the 20 national armies.

The Ming army suddenly stopped attacking, but fought with them here. Cromwell asked everyone to express their opinions.Some said that the army had seen our intentions, and there might be traitors here, and there was news of an ambush, and they must have known about it.

Some explained that the army must have been frightened. They only had 10,000+ troops at best, while our army was 40.Others said that the Ming army may be waiting for reinforcements or equipment, or for food and grass. In short, the conditions are not ripe, and we can rush over and wipe them all out in one go.Some people also explain that the army is setting up an array. The Chinese have been scheming since ancient times, and it is better to be cautious.

In this way, there was a lot of talk and different opinions, and Cromwell couldn't make up his mind for a while.

At this moment, someone came to report that the imperial camp of Emperor Zhu Yousong of the Ming Dynasty had been set up on a mountain bag more than ten miles away from the main force.

"How many troops are there in Zhu Yousong's imperial camp?"

"It seems that it can't exceed 5000."

When Cromwell heard this, he couldn't help being elated, "Everyone, stop arguing, annihilate the Ming army, and capture the Ming emperor alive!"
