Chapter seven hundred and sixty-four cross the mountain pass without any danger
"Xiao Ming has made great progress now and speaks so clearly." Wu Shigong's joke made everyone burst into laughter.
Wu Shigong didn't care about Chi Ming's blushing face. He continued: "But it's not good to have no name. Let's call the mountain pass the Wuming Pass, the river the Wuming River, and the grassland the Wuming Grassland!"
Wu Shigong's amazing naming skills made the laughter in the big tent stop abruptly. Everyone's facial muscles were stiff, their mouths were wide open, and they didn't know what to say.
Hardan Bartel on the side wriggled his lips a few times, trying to tell the difference. But he suddenly remembered Wu Shigong's temper, so his face was immediately filled with a flattering smile, and he cheered loudly: "Okay! The name chosen by the master is really good! It's really good.
What a literary talent!”
As expected, Hardanbaatar's flattery immediately received Wu Shigong's admiring eyes.
After joking and livening up the atmosphere, Wu Shigong began a serious discussion. He asked: "Old man! How many days will it take to walk the way you said?"
"If it's a caravan, it will take seven or eight days!"
Wu Shigong immediately made a calculation in his mind. The caravan would have to travel for seven or eight days, and the army would have to travel for half a month. It's not that the army's marching speed is not as fast as the caravan, but that it takes too long to set up camp. Basically,
It's like walking for half a day and setting up camp for half a day. In addition, there are still battles along the way, so the time will double to about a month.
Originally, the Runing Army only had food reserves for one and a half months, and with so many defeated troops, the food and grass supplies were a little tight, and the walking time was also a little short. As long as the Qing army blocked the front, the Runing Army's food supplies might be exhausted.
Not enough anymore.
However, if you choose the coastal road, where the main force of the Qing army is densely populated, it will take a few fierce battles. Not to mention if the Qing army digs more trenches. The Runing army will definitely not be able to withstand such an interception, and it may take even more time.
If it's too long, it's better to send out surprise troops and take a long way around.
"Thousands of mountains and rivers have to be passed one by one. Haha! Tell me again, how far is the nameless pass from here? What is the terrain like there?" Wu Shigong asked again.
"More than thirty miles from here, that mountain pass..."
…
The people in the big tent began to understand the situation at the Wuming Pass. After asking in detail, Wu Shigong finally decided: "Let's rest all day during the day! Keep up your energy. There may be no time to rest in the next month. At night
Set out and march at night to the mountain pass, completely occupy and control the mountain pass."
"The cavalry members have to take turns during the day, and they have to move continuously toward the southeast and look like they are exploring. Anyway, they have to have a good grasp of the situation and not let the Tatars see any flaws. But don't lose too much. At night we will
Go southwest. Remember! The first thing to seize the mountain pass is to be surprised!"
"promise!"
"Also! When marching urgently at night, arrange supervisory teams on both sides of the army and the rear. If there are any stragglers, kill them without mercy. If there are any soldiers who cannot march, let them bring it up early and let them ride in carts or
Horses are acceptable.”
"promise!"
The Runing Army's surprise attack on a long journey will be discovered by the Qing Army sooner or later. But even if it is discovered, the later the better. Therefore, Wu Shigong will not let any soldier fall behind to prevent him from being captured by the Qing Army.
To conceal the news of the turn of the Runing army.
According to Wu Shigong's order, the entire Runing Army rested in place for a whole day. During this period, the Ming Army's defeated troops also continued to arrive. By evening, the Runing Army had gathered more than 17,000 troops.
The Ming army collapsed.
Among these defeated troops, there were more than 1,400 lightly and seriously wounded. The rest of the defeated troops at least had the ability to defend themselves after being armed with weapons picked up by the Runing Army. But what pleased Wu Shigong was that among those defeated troops
There are still more than 3,800 cavalry. However, this also proves that the success rate of cavalry will indeed be much higher when escaping.
Most of these cavalry were military attaches like Wang Sheng and their personal soldiers and servants. They were all professional soldiers with strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, Wu Shigong also took these cavalry with him and commanded them personally.
Wu Shigong organized the rest of the broken troops, and then incorporated Fu Sheng's troops into them. In this way, with Fu Sheng as the leader and Huang Ding as the deputy, a new army of 15,000 men was formed.
In the evening of the same day, the entire Runing Army marched for more than 30 miles and passed the Wuming Mountain Pass without any danger. However, the more than a thousand cavalry of the Qing Army who were lingering around the Runing Army to observe the movement were unable to stop the Runing Army's actions, and they
He was caught off guard by the sudden turn of the Runing Army.
At this time, Huang Taiji, who felt that the victory was certain, rushed back to Shengjing without stopping because his favorite concubine, Concubine Chen, was seriously ill. However, this left the Qing army temporarily without a unified command.
During Huang Taiji's personal expedition, he asked the most senior Dai Shan to stay in Shengjing to take charge. He also put Dorgon in charge of the siege of Jinzhou, preventing Dorgon from making new achievements and increasing his influence in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
prestige in.
Therefore, the departure of Huang Taiji left the remaining Qing army without a person in charge, because the prestige of the Qing army commanders was almost the same, and no one could convince the crowd.
So by the time the commanders of the Qing army communicated with each other and agreed on the consensus, the Runing army had already passed the Wuming Mountain Pass and headed towards the Wuming River. Therefore, the Qing army, which was caught off guard, could only be divided into two troops, one with 21,000 troops.
A troop of troops galloped towards the south bank of the Wuming River to block the Runing Army from crossing the river; another troop of 13,000 men and horses followed the Runing Army, intending to attack when the Runing Army was halfway across the river.
"Xiao Ming! Now that we have arrived outside the customs, let's find a girl on the grassland! How much will we suffer if we don't return empty-handed?" Because he passed the Wuming Pass smoothly, Wu Shigong was in a very happy mood, so in these days, he
I just kept using Chi Ming to cook it.
"What's so good about it?" Chi Ming muttered, "Eating horse meat every day will make people stupid."
In order to save food and grass, Wu Shigong ordered that the corpses of horses killed in battle be collected as rations. So he kept eating horse meat these days. And these dead horses were not bled, and they were boiled in salt water and eaten immediately.
What kind of taste, so the people in Runing Army were a little nauseous after eating it.
"Don't just worry about eating!" Seeing that Chi Ming had been teased, Wu Shigong became even more enthusiastic, "The prairie girl can play the morinouqur again. After falling in love with you, she will chase you and crack the whip again. How refreshing is it? Just think about it.
beautiful."
"My master is so knowledgeable and talented! He is really familiar with things on the grassland. General Xiao Chi, would you like me to introduce you to someone?" Although Hardanbaatar on the side knew that the man who played the moron fiddle was a man on the grassland, not a girl on the grassland.
, but he still joined in the fun and flattered Wu Shigong in depth. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
