In fact, after calming down, Galdan did not want to kill Hongshi now. This defeat was not entirely Hongshi's fault. Anyone who led the army would have been defeated, including him.
Therefore, after Hongshi said this, he said coldly: "With five thousand troops, are you planning to sneak attack the Qing army camp? But Yongzheng is not Li Shumi, and your sneak attack will not be as successful as last time.
"
Hongshi gritted his teeth and said: "I know, but I will definitely win, even if it is for my own life. I must win. King Khan, please give me one last chance. This time, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"
"King Khan, don't believe him. He said so much just to save his life. Maybe he will escape after getting the five thousand men and horses given by King Khan." As soon as Alimo finished speaking, Hongshi said: "These five
Thousands of soldiers are all from your Dzhungar, general, do you think they will listen to me and let me leave?"
When Alimo came back to his senses, he thought it was impossible, but the words had already been spoken and he could not take them back. He could only say firmly: "You are so cunning, who knows what your plans are."
"King Khan..." Before Hongshi could say anything, Galdan had already said: "Okay, I will give you five thousand troops. If you lose again, I will kill you even if you escape to the ends of the earth."
"
"Thank you, King Khan! Thank you, King Khan!" Hongshi quickly kowtowed and thanked him. At this moment, even if Galdan asked Hongshi to kneel down and lick his boots like a dog, he would do it without hesitation, because he wanted to
He must live, live regardless of everything, and then take back everything that belongs to him. He has endured for four years just for this moment, how can he lose, how can he lose!
After Hongshi went out, Alimo said: "King Khan, do you really think that Hongshi can win with these five thousand people? This is simply impossible. Why did you agree to him?"
Galdan stroked his forehead and took a long breath and said: "Alimor, Yinzhen has forced us to this point with a bunch of rabble. Do you think you or I can definitely defeat him?"
Alimo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We have more people than him, and we are stronger than him. If we have to fight to the death, we will definitely win." Even so, he was a little lacking in confidence.
"Maybe, but after winning, how many people do we have left, can we conquer the capital? I have already inquired about it. Yunli is staying in the capital, and there are Fengtai Camp and Infantry Yamen inside. There are six
There are 70,000 troops, and these people are not just a mob, they are all elite soldiers and generals. If the number is less than 100,000, it is simply a fool's dream to conquer the capital, not to mention that there are 200,000 troops watching behind."
Alimo was speechless, and after a while he said bitterly: "According to my subordinates, all this is Hongshi's fault. If he hadn't been encouraging the Khan to stay at the Sarik River, we might have captured the capital.
, this man really deserves to die."
"You are right, he does deserve to die, but not now. This victory or defeat is related to his own life. I believe that no matter what he is ultimately for, this time he will go all out. Besides, even if he loses
, we only lost 5,000 men and horses, which is not considered a loss of strength." One thing, Galdan
He did not say that the most important reason why he did not dare to kill Hongshi now was his fear of Yongzheng. This man was extremely experienced in using troops and did not follow common sense. Although he had fought a lifetime of wars, he really wanted to fight against Yongzheng.
Going to Yongzheng, the chance of winning... was not even 50%, so he could only place his bet on Hongshi.
Hongshi didn't hear these words. Even if he heard them, he didn't have time to think about them. He focused all his attention on the sneak attack at night. He must defeat the enemy who was multiple times his own to win. But with Yinzhen's temperament
, he will definitely be on guard. It is really difficult to win, but no matter how difficult it is, we must win.
At the same time, although the Qing army wiped out an enemy that was almost twice as many as its own, it can be said that the victory was very beautiful. However, there was no joy. For this battle, they lost nearly 20,000 people, many of whom were shot with musketry.
He was accidentally injured while shooting or died while hugging the enemy.
While burying them, Ling Ruo saw the corpses of Jungar soldiers piled aside and said softly: "Your Majesty, why not bury them too?"
Yun Qi happened to be passing by, and he said angrily when he heard this: "Madam, these people have killed so many of us, so let them expose their bodies in the wild. What can I do if I sympathize with these evil people? Besides, it should be buried by Zhun Geer."
What does this matter have to do with us?" Yun Qi had met Ling Ruo and knew Ling Ruo's identity, but he didn't know about the grudge between his dead E Niang and Ling Ruo.
"They don't necessarily have to be bad people. The reason why they meet each other in life and death is just because they have different positions. Now that everyone is dead, what's the point of talking about the grudges in life." Seeing Yunqi's unconvinced look, she
She doesn't want to insist on it anymore. After all, her status makes it inappropriate to say this.
Yinzhen thought for a while and said: "Yunqi, according to the imperial concubine's words, cover up those people together, which can be regarded as accumulating some evil virtue. And..." Yinzhen did not say anything else. As for Yunqi, although he is still a
He looked disapproving, but he did not dare to refute Yinzhen's words. He cupped his hands and said, "My brother accepts the order."
After everyone was buried, it was already sunset. This large area looked the same as what it had seen before. At most, some of the ground was stained red with blood, but they
I knew in my heart that things were different, because tens of thousands of people were buried underground.
When night fell, Yinzhen told Yunqi, Suoli and the others had people patrol carefully to prevent Zhungeer from sending people to sneak attack. The reason why Li Shumi was defeated so quickly was because he neglected this point.
And things were indeed as Yinzhen expected. Hongshi led five thousand soldiers and quietly approached the Qing camp under the cover of night, but stopped when there was still a mile away. It was not that they did not want to get closer.
Closer, but there are patrols everywhere within this range. Once you get close, it is easy to be discovered. Moreover, this range is also outside the range of artillery, ensuring that no artillery will bombard the camp without being discovered.
However, this had no impact on Hongshi. He thought hard for a long time during the day, and finally he came up with how to make a sneak attack. Yongzheng, you like to hurt others and yourself, don't you? Okay, I'll do it too.
Take a look.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Hongshi's lips, and he gestured to the soldiers behind him. Those people immediately dispersed according to the previously planned plan. The ambush lasted most of the night, and they did not start taking action until the dead of night.
