In the hut, two eunuchs were being lectured. One was named Chang Feng and the other was Wei Zhitong. They were the admiral ministers of the Shenji camp. In order to firmly control the power of the Beijing camp, the emperor used eunuchs.
Chang Feng and Wei Zhitong were just like most of the eunuchs who supervise the army. They had no ability at all and only showed off their power. They were just old men walking around watching the theater in the capital on weekdays. They knew nothing about military affairs.
This time the Shenji Battalion came to Beijing to help in the war. The cabinet and the emperor may have known who these two were. At the same time, they did not allow the little eunuch to have exclusive power, and sent the obedient Marquis Wu Weiying to supervise the Shenji Battalion.
However, these three people were ignored by the young eunuch as soon as they arrived at the field. Chang Yu knew very well that marching and fighting was cruel and not a child's play. Letting these people take over the military power was like giving death to the Qing army.
Chang Yu was disgusted by the greasy compliments on their faces, but he had to be patient and teach them political lessons.
A simple hut was built next to the headquarters. Jia Waixiong and Fan Jiaqian were on duty, while Tu Yuan, Li Tiezhu, Ji Wuzhong and three others were huddled inside and bickering.
"Fistes and kicks are just small skills. The governor said that I am an invincible general. I once singled out several thieves in Taiyuan, but none of them were able to defeat the enemy. The thieves were frightened." Tu Yuan looked at Wuzhong with a proud look on his face.
The corners of his mouth slowly turned disdainful.
"You are so awesome. Did you blow Li Zicheng to death?" Wuzhong rolled his eyes: "When I was a thief, I robbed Jiuchengguan at night, leaving no trace when I came and went. When I fell into the grass, I leveled the fourteen villages with one sword, leaving corpses everywhere.
When I wandered around the rivers and lakes, I slept in the wind and snow, with tigers and wolves as companions. Later, I learned from Jing Ke, practiced ten steps and one kill, and never failed. Killing a few thieves as a soldier is just a wish!"
Tu Yuan was immediately stunned. He didn't expect that this guy's life in front of him would be so colorful, and he was speechless for a moment.
"When the two braggarts came together, I was a little dizzy when they boasted so much that the earth shook and the mountains shook." Li Tiezhu laughed while nestling in the hay: "When did you, Old Tu, have no enemies under your command? You can do better than Hao Yaoqi."
Well, can you beat Luo Hu? And you, Master Wu, you have never missed a kill in ten steps. Why are you here now if you never miss?"
The faces of the two awesome kings suddenly turned red.
"Anyway, no matter how powerful things like fists and feet can be, it is better to kill the enemy immediately. The governor has said that we rely on these good men of the Ming Dynasty to protect our country and defend our country, and we rely on archery and horse riding to fight wars. Is it possible?
You still use your fists to deal with the Tatar cavalry?" Tu Yuan was still unconvinced.
"The governor said, those servants were given to me for training, and they will become my soldiers from now on. One day, I will also be a strong general who can defeat ten thousand enemies, and lead a strong army across the battlefield." Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Moreover, what can those servants become if they practice more? In the words of the governor, they are just cannon fodder. They are difficult to stop being useful. But I am different. There are various troops under the governor. I want to lead which one and lead that one.
You can fight once you get it, and you can win as soon as you fight. Why are you so irritating, aren't you Tie Zhu?"
Tu Yuan's arrogant expression was about to make Wuzhong furious!
"I have a knife in my hand, and I will kill you in three turns."
"If you dare, let's fight right away. If you don't die in three rounds, I will recognize you as my father!"
The two of them fought endlessly.
Li Tiezhu let out a long sigh: "What's the saying that the governor often said? A full jar won't make any sound, but a half-filled jar will bang. The governor's young hero is both civil and military. He can kill the enemy when he mounts his horse, but when he dismounts he will beat you two everywhere. You two can't.
Have you ever seen a governor show off like this?"
That night, in a mountain col in a wild valley twenty miles away from the Qing army camp, a group of people fell asleep listening to the wind. The night was spent in the bickering of a few guys who loved to show off and show off.
At dawn, the Qing army camp in Gelizi Mountain became agitated, and the soldiers set up camp to make fires and cook meals.
At half noon, a group of troops left the military camp and headed straight to the south.
In the weeds at the entrance of the wild valley, Chang Yu was nestled in the snow, staring at it for a long time with a telescope in his hand, and then raised his eyebrows: "Only half the camp was out!"
"Why don't we wait until that group of troops crosses the mountain road to fight with Wu Sangui, then we go out and take over the camp?" Tu Yuan said, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, Taibing spit it out again.
The little eunuch rolled his eyes and curled his lips: "There are four thousand cavalry in the camp. How can we deal with only three hundred cavalry for a few people like us? I'm afraid my legs will get weak just as I reach the gate of the camp. I'll send him to the door."
Are they going to cut it down?"
Tu Yuan stopped talking and stuffed the vomited ball of snow into his mouth again.
"But if they really only left half of the camp, our trip would have been in vain. Wu Sangui killed so hard over there that we gained nothing," Fan Jiaqian whispered.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Chang Yu said with a calm expression, "Besides, he took action, so how can he get this power in vain?"
"But the plan came from the governor." The Fan family complained a lot.
Chang Yu smiled and wondered if he didn't understand me after being with me for so long: "Am I a person who is greedy for merit? As long as he kills the enemy, he will get merit!"
"Besides, today is just the beginning. If Wu Sangui pulls the strings well, all the Tatars will be dispatched in a short while, and our chance will come."
"Superintendent, do you think Wu Sangui might have been bitten by a dog instead of trying to beat him?" Li Tiezhu asked quietly.
Chang Yu shook his head: "The Qing army is either a dog or a wolf, but Wu Sangui is not a kid either. Most of the more than 20,000 Ningyuan troops under his command are cavalry. In addition, Tang Tong's troops cannot be underestimated. Of course, if Aba Tairuo gives his all
In a battle between men and horses, as long as they rush out of the valley, it's hard to say who will win.
But if he is only half a camp, or is squeezed into the mountain road and cannot get out, there is only one outcome: break his legs!"
Wu Sangui thought the same way. Although he withdrew the troops from Beishan Pass to the city last night, in order to cover up the whereabouts of Chang Yu's troops, he still sent several groups of spies to wander outside.
Surprisingly, it was an uneventful night and no enemy spies were encountered. Either the Qing spies sneaked into the dark from the light and deliberately avoided it, or they felt that there was nothing to investigate outside Ningyuan City.
Early in the morning, as a routine matter, a large number of cavalry were sent to check the surrounding area of Ningyuan City for more than ten miles, but found nothing, so they went to the mountain pass in the north to stand ready. Sure enough, soon a message was sent from the Qing army, and Abatai made an appointment with Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui, who had been prepared in advance, immediately put on his armor and mounted his horse, led 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry and left the city, leaving Tang Tong to stay in the city.
Five thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry, and a total of 7,000 Ming troops were waiting for the arrival of the Qing army three miles away from the mountain pass. At this time, there were only dozens of Qing troops exploring the mountain pass. Facing nearly 10,000 Ming troops, they were not afraid at all and did nothing.
Horse riding.
Abatai did not arrive slowly and late. Wu Sangui only waited for him to drink tea when he saw large groups of cavalry pouring out of the mountain pass in a steady stream.
These cavalrymen came out of the mountain pass and saw the Ming army's formation. They were not frightened at all. They rode provocatively to the ground half a mile in front of the formation. They roared and ran around wildly. The snow on the ground flew with the horses' hooves.
Wu Sangui watched all this with an expressionless face, but his heart was filled with a sense of shame!
