"It's better not to give it up!" Chi Ming always looked coy when the topic of women came up, "Han women are better, they treat people considerately, the ones on the grassland are too fierce, who can bear to be whipped?"
Chi Ming's coquettishness cheered up Wu Shigong: "So, you still want women. You don't know this. Hitting means kissing and scolding, which means loving. I will slap you only if I like you, but I don't know how to beat you."
Pump hard..."
…
The Runing Army's journey went quite smoothly at the beginning. They walked like this for six days without encountering any fighting at all. It was not until they approached the Wuming River that they learned that there were large Qing troops approaching from both sides.
"Have you ever gone to the river to explore? Is there any shallow place where you can wade across the river?" Wu Shigong asked the detective who went to explore.
"Replying to your lord, there are three places where the cavalry can wade into the water. However, the water there does not even reach a person's chest, and the current is also very fast. It is definitely not possible for vehicles to pass through." The scout cavalry replied.
Although Wu Shigong knew that it was the summer flood season and the water flow was very large, he always had luck in his heart and hoped to cross the river quickly. But now that he knew the true situation, Wu Shigong was more or less disappointed.
The current Runing Army is about twenty miles away from the Wuming River. Calculated based on the distance, it still takes a day to reach the river. However, judging from the situation of the reconnaissance and cavalry reconnaissance, the Runing Army is about fifty miles behind.
The cavalry of the Qing army has already followed, and on the other side of the Wuming River, Qing troops have also begun to appear. Therefore, Wu Shigong's idea of relying on speed and surprise to cross the Wuming River has been shattered.
"Go and tell Fu Sheng and Huang Ding: No matter what, let the engineering regiment put up the pontoon first. The rest of their troops will go to the nearby area to cut wood and prepare more boats and planks." Wu Shigong ordered the soldiers around him
road.
"promise!"
The Wuming River is neither wide nor narrow. The nearly 200 large vehicles used by the Engineering Corps are all specially made by the Runing Army. The carriages installed on the frames of these large vehicles are all detachable.
.And those carriages become small wooden boats when put into the water. If you connect those small wooden boats and lay them with planks, you can build three or four pontoon bridges on the Nameless River.
However, these pontoon bridges are not wide and can barely pass a large vehicle. Therefore, with these three or four pontoon bridges, it will take three or four days for the 34,000 soldiers of the Runing Army to cross the river. And such a long time
Inside, the two Qing armies must have arrived long ago, so the Runing army should not think about crossing the river smoothly.
But no matter what, it is always right to set up the pontoon bridge first. However, if the Runing army forcibly crosses the river when being attacked from both sides by the Qing army, it will definitely fall into a bitter battle. The last troops to cross the river may even be killed and blocked.
If the Qing army chasing behind them fails to deal with it again, it will even cause chaos in the entire army, cause huge casualties, and put the Runing army into a desperate situation.
The only good thing is that the Runing Army took a detour that was unexpected by the Qing Army. In addition, the Qing Army also fought fiercely for days. Therefore, there were not many troops that could pursue them quickly.
Behind the Runing army, there were 6,000 cavalry led by Abatai. They were chased by one man and two cavalry. As for Obai and Tan Tai, who had consumed a lot of physical strength after continuous fierce battles, they left Runing with more than 7,000 cavalry.
The army still has two or three days to go.
On the other side of the river, there were even fewer Qing troops. Only a few scattered spies on horseback who could reach the shore were nearly a thousand Qing troops, while the Qing troops Jierharang, Azig, Hauge, and many more
The main force including Duo was still two to five days away from the river.
At this time, Wu Shigong needed to make a decision. Either the strong man lost his arm, abandoned part of the army to break up the rear, and forced the main force to cross the river to fight the main force of the Qing army on the other side; or he tried his best to save the entire army, but he might also end up with the entire army being annihilated.
.
The most common choice is of course to let the newly gathered rout force break off the rear. Even if the rout force is defeated, there are still so many people blocking the further pursuit of the Qing army, while the main force of the Runing army can safely cross the river.
After that, the Runing army would huddle together as they did during the drill on the Liaodong road, forming a group and charging toward Ningyuan. According to the strength and combat effectiveness of the Runing army, it is definitely impossible to defeat the Qing army, but it would be difficult for the Qing army to do anything to get rid of the enemy.
After all, the rest of the road is a flat grassland, and there is no terrain that can stop the Runing Army. Of course, under such a passive beating, the final journey of the Runing Army will also be very difficult.
Very passive.
But Wu Shigong didn't want to abandon those defeated troops. Although he gathered and reorganized them at the time, he had the intention of using them as cannon fodder. But when he really wanted to abandon them, Wu Shigong still couldn't bear it. So he twisted
Try your best to come up with a plan that has the best of both worlds.
But to be honest, Wu Shigong is not an amazing military genius. It is really difficult for him to come up with a comprehensive military plan. Wu Shigong can only try to recall all the battle cases he has known in his previous life and this life, and wants to find a
Similarly, follow the example to imitate and learn.
After thinking about it, Wu Shigong's eyes lit up, and he immediately loudly ordered to the soldiers: "Hurry up and call all the officers here! Pay attention! Just call in our own officers from the Runing Army."
…
On August 11, the 14th year of Chongzhen, under the leadership of Xue Shihou, deputy commander of Pegasus Town, more than 3,400 cavalrymen of the Runing Army galloped to the nameless river and swam across the river in the shallow water seven or eight miles upstream.
Afterwards, Xue Shihou led his army to sweep across the river, driving away nearly a thousand Qing troops on the other side of the river, and opening up an open space for the Runing army to set up a pontoon bridge.
Then, the Runing Army's engineering regiment went all out to erect pontoon bridges. Before dusk that day, three of them were erected, and more than 200 tanks and two battalions of Runing Army troops were transported across the river to initially establish a bridgehead.
That night, the Runing Army crossed the river without stopping all night. In the early morning, a very tight formation of vehicles had been arranged on the other side of the river, and more than 6,000 soldiers were transported across.
After learning that the Runing Army had begun to forcibly cross the Wuming River, both Qing troops began to speed up. At noon on the 12th, two Qing troops, including Jierhalang and Hauge, with a total of 11,000 troops, rushed to the carriage formation.
They wanted to prevent the Runing Army from rushing out of the bridgehead, and waited for the backup Qing Army to arrive, and then used the method of digging trenches to surround the Runing Army in this desperate place backed by water.
And Abatai also stepped up his pace. When the Runing Army was crossing the river, he was about to make a desperate half-crossing attack. He wanted to completely defeat the Runing Army on the north bank that had not crossed the river, and he wanted to completely surround the Runing Army.
Here is the nameless river.
On the 13th, under Wu Shigong's strict order, Wang Sheng and other 3,600 Ming army cavalry who had just gathered up fell back in the early morning to intercept the approach of Abatai's tribe. Before Wang Sheng and others set off, Wu Shigong ordered to collect the cavalry around them.
All the food and grass eliminated the possibility of them fleeing or disobeying orders.
Moreover, Wu Shigong also gave Wang Sheng and others a fatal order: Wang Sheng must block the Qing army before noon, and then other units of the Runing Army will replace them. Under Wu Shigong's pressure, this Ming army knew that it was going to
If you want to be cannon fodder, you can only bite the bullet and become cannon fodder.
So Wang Sheng and the others, who were forced into a desperate situation, had no choice but to sink their boats. But fighting is not just about determination. Although facing Abatai's Qing army, Wang Sheng and the others pounced fiercely with all their teeth and claws, but when the Qing cavalry
When charging in formation, the Ming cavalry was immediately dispersed. What followed was a unilateral pursuit of a scattered army by an organized army.
In just one round, Abatai's troops killed more than 700 Ming army cavalry, but their own casualties were negligible. The rest of the Ming army fled in panic towards the Runing army's main formation on the north bank.
As soon as Wu Shigong gathered the defeated soldiers such as Wang Sheng and others, he immediately took a cruel trick. He ordered the execution of the very cruel "Eleven Orders", that is, among the defeated soldiers, one person from every ten people was selected to be beheaded, in order to let Wang Sheng and others know that they were disrespectful.
The fate of military orders.
Then, Wu Shigong once again forced Wang Sheng and the others to step forward to intercept. This time, Wang Sheng and the others knew that there was no way out, so they worked harder. However, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was indeed different from that of the Qing army, and the military strength was also very different, so
Although the battle was fierce, the scene was still one-sided.
Until now, the responses of both warring parties have been very ordinary. It seems that the Runing army has used the defeated troops as cannon fodder, and it will save the main force to cross the river with all its strength.
But Wu Shigong, who was watching the battle from behind, saw that Wang Sheng and the others were already unable to support themselves. Abatai's troops were also pressing forward step by step. He looked at the main force of the Runing Army that had already formed its formation, and smiled at Yu Ji beside him.
Said: "It's time for Wang Shou to call it a day. Hurry up and call the gold, it's time for us to take the field."
Hearing the sound of ringing gold, Wang Sheng and the others, who were already on the verge of collapse, immediately turned around and fled towards the formation. Abatai tribe then wanted to pursue them, but before they could run a few steps, they were surprised to find a large and generous person with a bright flag and armor.
The formation was already waiting for them at the front.
"Come back quickly! Get in formation." Abatai shouted loudly. The scattered Qing cavalry in front also quickly turned around and returned to the formation, trying to get into formation again and prepare to overwhelm the phalanx of the Runing Army.
"Move forward!" Wu Shigong ordered. He did not give the Qing army a chance to breathe. He wanted the Runing army's phalanx to take the initiative to move forward and fight against the Abatai troops.
The sound of war drums immediately sounded, and a large square formation of 2,000 people from a regiment of the Runing Army marched forward to the beat of the drums.
There were only a little over two thousand of Wang Sheng's remaining soldiers who had fled from both sides of the phalanx. They all ran to gather behind Wu Shigong's army. Wang Sheng came to Wu Shigong, and he saluted with respect and fear.
: "Commander! I am really guilty of living up to my trust!"
Wu Shigong smiled slightly at Wang Sheng and said: "You have done your best. Wait here for a while and see how my son and son fight." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster.
