These words fell into Alimo's ears, and they were indescribably harsh. He said in a cold voice: "What do you mean?"
Hongshi bowed his head to Galdan and said: "For the information to King Khan, I also sent people to spy on the army led by Yongzheng, and found that they sent a team of several hundred people to march towards us. It should be ready after dark.
Arrive. Yongzheng may not have arrived here yet, but his confrontation with us has already begun."
"Is there such a thing?" Galdan stared at Alimo in surprise and said, "How did you send the spies to leak such important military information?"
Alimo stared at Hongshi with resentment, stood up and said, "I am aware of my guilt, but it is only a team of several hundred people. It is impossible for us to lose our troops, or someone is exaggerating."
Hongshi sneered and said: "It seems that the general really doesn't know Yongzheng. This man has a cunning mind. If you despise him before the war begins, then forgive me for saying something unpleasant, and there is no need to fight this war."
"This is unreasonable!" Ali was trembling with anger, and he cupped his hands towards Galdan and said: "King Khan, please allow your subordinates to lead troops to the place where the Qing army is stationed. I will definitely wipe out the Qing army within one day.
All of them."
Before Galdan spoke, Hongshi had already said leisurely: "I'm afraid that the person who will be wiped out will be you, the general, because you don't know what kind of person Yongzheng is. It's a small matter for you to be captured, but you are a bad person."
King Khan’s plan to unify the Central Plains is a big deal.”
"Presumptuous!" Alimo had never been so insulted in his life. He was so angry that he held the handle of the knife and was about to pull it out. Galdan's eyes flashed, he held his hand and said: "Okay, the battle will be over.
You didn’t fight, but you started fighting among yourself first, what’s going on, let go.”
Alimo did not dare to disobey Galdan and slowly released the handle of the knife, but his eyes were still fixed on Hongshi. If eyes could kill, Hongshi would have died countless times at this moment.
After sitting down again, Galdan said: "As for the understanding of Yongzheng, of course you are the only one. Then you can tell me what Yongzheng sent these hundreds of people to do. Yongzheng is not a fool. He should know that with these hundreds of people,
There is no way it can deal with my king’s army.”
"Yongzheng is naturally not a fool. On the contrary, he is very cunning." Hongshi raised his eyes and said: "A few hundred people are naturally inconspicuous on the battlefield, but they may not be useless. For example...burning food and grass. In this way,
He will be able to turn passivity into initiative and seize the opportunity."
Galdan frowned and said, "You mean he sent these people here to destroy the food and grass?"
Alimo sneered on the side and said: "This is impossible. The food and grass are heavily guarded by soldiers, rotating day and night. Just a few hundred people want to burn the food and grass. It is simply a fool's dream."
"This is just a guess on my part. I can't tell whether it is true or false, but I know one thing. Everything Yongzheng did had his purpose. Don't underestimate it, otherwise it will be a disaster."
The generals didn't take Hongshi's words seriously, but Galdan still left the matter to Hongshi and let him set up defenses at the station.
Night is always the best disguise, but this night was extremely quiet. Hongshi, who had not slept all night, did not wait for the sneak attack he imagined, and the hundreds of people sent by Yinzhen did not show up. When the sky lit up,
The snow that lasted for a day and two nights finally stopped, leaving a full three inches of snow.
I wonder why those hundreds of people didn't show up. Could it be that he had made a mistake? Impossible. If you don't need hundreds of people to spy on the military, it is even more impossible to fight. The only possibility is to attack and burn the food and grass.
Just when he was puzzled, Alimo, who had always been against Hongshi, came over with someone and said maliciously: "What, did someone attack and burn our food and grass last night?"
Hongshi ignored him and wanted to leave, but Alimo's people blocked his way with malicious intentions. Hongshi frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
Alimo said with a smile: "No, you didn't swear yesterday that Yongzheng would send people to raid the grain and grass. I just want to know what the result will be?"
Hongshi said coldly: "It's only been one night. It's too early to tell the result."
"Do you want to wait five nights or ten nights? By then the 200,000 troops stationed in Tsarist Russia by the Qing Dynasty should have arrived. It is absolutely correct to say that you have bad intentions. I warn you, if you
If you dare to do anything unfavorable to King Khan, I will twist your head off!"
Hearing this, Hongshi actually laughed and said, "I'm afraid the general won't have this chance. Besides, if you think I have bad intentions, you can go and tell King Khan, why bother wasting your breath here."
"We'll see." After saying this, Alimo strode away, while Hongshi walked slowly around the temporary warehouse where grain and grass were stored, thinking about the real reason why Yinzhen let those hundreds of people come here.
What is the purpose.
Soon, the sky became dark again, and Galdan also called Hongshi to the camp and told him that he would only wait here for one more night. If there was no news after one night, he would leave the Sarik River and go at full speed.
During the march, we must destroy the 100,000 troops led by Yinzhen before the 200,000 troops return for reinforcements, and then enter the capital.
Hongshi didn't persuade him because he knew that Galdan's patience had reached its end, and any more persuasion would only make Galdan doubt himself, which would be disadvantageous.
Although everything was peaceful last night, Hongshi still asked the soldiers responsible for guarding the granary to be on alert to prevent a sneak attack.
At this time, hundreds of figures appeared on the frozen Sarik River in the vast darkness of the night. These people moved like ghosts, fast and silent. If anyone looked closer, they would find that they were walking under their feet.
They were all wearing walking skates made of wooden boards and blades.
After a while, they approached the place where Jungar was stationed. After making a few gestures to each other, a dozen of them continued to slide forward, while the rest stayed in place.
After the dozen or so people disappeared without a trace, the remaining hundreds of people raised their weapons and pointed them at the Jungar soldiers on the shore. What they used were not knives or arrows, but powerful muskets.
"Let go!" As the leader said this word, the sound of huge muskets echoed over the Sarik River, shocking everyone who heard it.
"Here we come!" Hongshi was the first to react. He immediately stood up and rushed out. After taking a few steps, he saw corpses lying on the ground and panicked soldiers. He quickly grabbed one and said: "Enemies
Where?"
The soldier barely regained his composure and pointed to the dark Sarik River: "There, the muskets were fired from there. But isn't that a river? How could there be anyone there? Could it be that they were fired from the other side?"
