The third volume of the Ming Dynasty, the twenty-sixth chapter of Mandahai's ambition
.The two ghosts were wearing hats on their heads, and under the hats were two young faces. It was impossible to tell whether they were Han or Manchu or Mongolians. At this time, the two looked happy and took out two war horses from the woods. After walking hundreds of meters in the woods, they walked out of the woods. At this time, they were at least more than a mile away from the Ming army just now. They were not afraid of the Ming army appearing, and they turned over horses. The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the horse hooves brought two thin smoke and dust, gradually disappeared from the distance.
The two men rode at least five miles and then turned into a valley. As soon as they entered the valley, they were immediately stopped by several people in black-clad black armor and with a pig tail behind their heads. One of them shouted, "Who?"
The two of them quickly took off their hats, revealing the same pig tail, and one of them quickly replied: "Scout camp, there is an emergency military information to report to the general."
Several people blocked the road moved the road apart: "Get in.
”
The two of them did not answer and walked into the valley again. After about a hundred meters, many dry sounds had already been heard in front of them. After turning a corner, they suddenly realized that the entire valley was a large open area, and the ground was covered with dense tents. Judging from the size of the tent, it could accommodate at least 10,000 people.
Outside the camp, teams of Qing soldiers walked back and forth, and the swords in their hands shone coldly, setting the entire valley into a dragon and tiger. Behind the camp was a large open land. At first glance, the huge waterfall in the distance seemed to fall from the top of the mountain, forming a stream. On both sides of the river, the water plants were dense, and countless horses were eating on it.
Without carefully looking at the scenery in the valley, the two of them rode their horses and went straight to a luxurious and tall camp. After some negotiations, they lifted the tent and entered the camp. At this time, dozens of Manchu and Mongolian generals were filled with them. When they saw the two of them coming in, they turned their eyes to them. They felt a huge pressure and knelt down tremblingly: "I pay homage to the general, to Master Beile and all the generals."
"How is the situation?" asked Mandahai in the middle.
"If you go back to the Grandmaster, Minggou is indeed camping in Fulongpo."
"Okay." The Manchu and Mongolian generals in the camp were overjoyed. A man with a white beard all over his face said to the young man in the middle with a handsome face and a gentle aura, "Yuele Beile is indeed a clever idea. He was sure that Minggou would set up camp in Fulongpo. Fulongpo. Fulongpo. The pseudo Ming emperor was in the army. Now he was going to be bound by us.\
"Yuele Beile. How did you calculate that Minggou will camp in Fulongpo?" a Qing army general asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Beile. How did you calculate the land?"
There are many restrictions on the campsites of the army. First, there must be open spaces in the earth. Secondly, there must be water sources in the earth. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of a army will be reduced by just hunger. However, the hills and flat land in Shandong are everywhere, which means there are many places for campsites. Yue Le can be considered as the location of the campsites of the Ming army. It is undoubtedly very rare.
It was precisely because Yue Le first calculated that the Ming army would camp in Fulongpo. Mandahai sent the most elite scouts. He led by Baiyintu and kept harassing the Ming army on the western front. However, the main force quietly moved to a natural valley that was only more than 30 miles away from the city and hid it. This hiding took more than half a month. The Ming army naturally could not get news about this army.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. Regardless of whether the Manchu generals are convinced or not, this is a fact. If the two armies face off during the day, attack with clear swords and guns. They have no chance of winning against any Ming army. If they want to win, they can only rely on sneak attacks. However, the fact that Sony in Qingzhou Prefecture personally led tens of thousands of troops to attack failed proved that it would not work if it was sneak attacks during the day. Only at night can there be a chance. But to sneak attacks a large army at night, you must first determine where the opponent will camp. Or maybe it is already dawn before the day arrives. So how to sneak attack.
Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Yue Le couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, he was still young and could not show his emotions without showing his emotions. He coughed and said, "Actually, it's very simple. There is water on the Fulongpo and a large piece of flat land. There are many hills around him. The main ones are that the Ming army's daily marching speed is only thirty miles, while Fulongpo is about thirty miles away from Jinan City. If the Ming army does not camp here, then it will not go directly to the city of Jinan."
"So that's it." Everyone suddenly realized that this was not worth a word if it was said bluntly, but not many people would think that Yue Le was not completely sure that the Ming army would set up camp in Fulongpo. After all, from the current sky, it would be too late for the Ming army to run directly to the city and then set up camp. He was actually betting, otherwise he would not have given the answer until now. It seems that he won the bet, of course he can explain it no matter how he explained it.
In order to leave time for the two armies of the East and West Roads, the Qing army was cut off. Wang Fu deliberately slowed down the marching speed of the middle army and marched only thirty miles a day. Unexpectedly, Yue Le used it. However, 30,000 troops were brought together. Wang Fu never thought that the Qing army would dare to make his own ideas. He wanted the Qing army to come over, so he naturally would not pay attention to such trivial matters.
"Okay, you guys go back." Mandahai waved his hand to the two scouts kneeling on the ground.
“Yes, slaves retreat.
”
The two scouts retreated, Mandahai glanced at everyone, signaling everyone to calm down, and then said: "Everyone, the actions tonight are not only related to the fate of Shandong, but also to the fate of my Qing Dynasty. If we can capture or kill the pseudo-Emperor of Ming in one fell swoop, the pseudo-Ming will lose our brains, and the prince is only a few years old, and the pseudo-Ming may fall into civil strife. No matter how powerful their firearms are, it is useless. My Qing Dynasty can still unify the world. If it fails, it is a small matter for us to die. If the Qing Dynasty dies, we will be sinners."
"Master-in-law, don't worry, we will fight to the end tonight, and we will not kill the pseudo-emperor, and we will not withdraw our troops." All the generals said with a loud bang.
"Yuele listens to the order."
"The last one will be there."
"I will hand over all five thousand white armored soldiers to you. Your mission tonight is to directly attack the Ming people's central army tent, and to the pseudo-Ming emperor who wants to see people in his life and die in his body."
"The last general will obey the order." Yue Le was excited. Now there are only 14,000 troops in the valley. Five thousand white-armored soldiers are the most elite among these 4,000 people, accounting for at least half of the combat power. Now he wants to use five thousand people to directly attack the central army of the Ming army. If it succeeds, he will be the most dazzling person in the Qing Dynasty. Even future historical books will think that Yue Le will turn the tide.
"Shi Tingzhu."
"The last general is here." A Qing general with a gray and bearded face stood up. This person was the one who had just spoken to Yue Le. Shi Tingzhu was from Liaodong. His surname was Guarjia, and he lived in Suwan in his previous life. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Guarjia Buha, the ancestor of the Shi family, served as the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, and gave birth to a son Alsson. During the Jiajing period, Alsson inherited his father's position, gave birth to a son Shi Han, and moved to Liaodong, so he took Shi as his surname.
Shi Han was the father of Shi Tingzhu. Shi Tingzhu had two brothers, divided into the National Pulse and Tianzhu. They both served as garrison officials of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately they were unfamiliar wolf cubs. Although they changed their surnames to Han, their ungrateful nature did not change. After Nurhaci's uprising, the three brothers responded separately and presented their city to the Manchus. Nurhaci swept across Liaodong, and the three brothers made great contributions. Now, in the tent, in addition to Shi Tingzhu, his other brother, Shi Guozhu, is also there.
Mandahai glanced at Shi Tingzhu and said solemnly: "You have two thousand people in the headquarters, bringing more gongs and drums. When the war comes, you will be loud outside the Ming army camp. The bigger the momentum, the more the Ming people can't judge the direction of our army's main attack."
"I will obey the order." Shi Tingzhu bowed his hand and hesitated for a moment. Although this person was almost fifty years old, he was still determined to kill people and make meritorious contributions. Mandahai just asked him to beat drums and drums outside, and he felt a little reluctant, but he was inconvenient to refuse and sat down reluctantly.
Mandahai nodded and turned his gaze to the next person: "Shi Guozhu."
"The last one will be there."
"You lead 2,000 people in your army and prepare more rockets, candles, turbid oil and other items. Once you enter the Ming army camp, set fire immediately. The stronger the fire, the better.
"I will obey the order." Shi Guozhu bowed his hand, but his face was filled with joy. Compared to his brother who only beat the drums, he always set fire more.
“Bahana.”
"The last general is here." Bahana is also a veteran in his fifty years old. He is the same generation as Baiyintu. He is the son of Nurhaci's cousin. He was born in the White Banner. He went to Huang Taiji at the age of seventeen. He has made many military achievements and rich experience.
A smile appeared on Mandahai's face. Mandahai had to pay some respect to this uncle Shi and said, "You can lead our troops and coach to temporarily serve as reserve."
Bahana frowned slightly as a reserve, but he still stretched out immediately. With the strength of the Ming army, he would not necessarily have much easier reserves to capture and kill the Ming emperor among tens of thousands of troops. He hurriedly replied: "The last general will obey the order."
Mandahai sighed: "The other generals and I serve as reserves together. Now it is still one and a half hours before dark. I will pass the order of this command. Everyone will immediately step up their rest and prepare to attack at night."
"Yes, I will obey the order." Everyone bowed their hands together and came out one after another. After a while, a low sound of cow horns in the valley sounded. The Qing army, who was moving outside, entered the camp and began to accumulate strength to prepare for the evening battle.
Most of the soldiers were still working hard in the camp of the Ming army. Although this camp was destined to be abandoned in one night, it was just for the sake of the emperor's peace. When they stopped, it was almost two hours before dark. Most of these two hours were spent consolidating the barracks. According to the standards of the Yulin Guard camp, fences must be set up and a trench must be dug. To do this, almost one hour is enough. With an extra hour, this trench can naturally be dug deeper or dug two trenches. Today, the Yulin Guard of the Zhongjun camp chose to dig two.
