"Is that Lu Chang? Or is it Song or something? Azig waved his hand impatiently, "Let Bai Yin Dai bring some people to kill him." How many times have I said that Hugh will bother me with such trivial things in the future! ”

Lu Chang and Song Jincheng have been following his army in recent days, intercepting and killing the troops sent by Turai to loot grain and grass several times, so that his army has not been able to shoot a grain of rice for many days. However, these two teams of Ming troops were weak in combat strength, and they were defeated by 800 armor soldiers led by Bai Yin Dai.

The guard was so frightened that he lowered his head and defended: "Lord Bei Le, it doesn't seem to be Lu Chang and Song Jincheng's people. The scout returned, its flag had no words on a blue background, only painted with the sun and moon patterns, and the soldiers were all wearing green shirts. ”

Turai was shocked when he heard this, and said to Azig: "Lord Belle, according to this description, it is very similar to King Chen of the Southern Barbarians in the intelligence, could it be ......"

After losing Xianxia Pass, Bo Luo asked people to find out the news of the Ming army that broke through Xianxia Pass, and only then did they know that it was the same group of people and horses that Jiangxi had defeated Jin Shenghuan's troops several times.

Later, as intelligence gathered from all over the place, they gradually learned that this Ming army was under the command of King Chen of Ming. Furthermore, I learned that its well-equipped firearms, high morale, and combat effectiveness were not weak, and it was the main force of the Ming army in Fujian.

Azig was puzzled: "Didn't the news from Yanping say that King Chen of the Southern Barbarians attacked the Boluo camp ten days ago?" If this is the case, even if the Ming army marches one after another, there are still seven or eight hundred miles away from Shanguandang at this time, how can they appear here? ”

He said to the guard, who was still kneeling in front of him, "Go, probe again." ”

After a while, several more scouts reported back, all saying that they saw the main force of the Ming army, with a strength of nearly 20,000, and it was now more than ten miles away.

"Did these Ming troops fall from the sky?" Azig only felt a little irritable, according to his and Bolo's original plan, even if the Ming army found out about their plan to get rid of the golden cicada, it would take at least ten days before they could reach Shanguan. At that time, with his 43,000 troops and more than 60 cannons, he would be able to take Shanguan in a day or two, and then block the Ming army in Fujian.

But now that the main force of the Ming army is approaching, this has completely disrupted his plans. If Shanguan is attacked again at this time, it will be attacked by the Ming army from behind, even if it is repulsed, it will definitely kill and wound many Jianzhou warriors.

Turai said to Azig on the side: "Lord Belle, it is said that this Ming army is extremely skilled and has considerable combat power. Previously, Tong Peng and Shi Fu's department were defeated by him. He deliberately didn't say that Bolo's tens of thousands of horses were also broken by this Ming army, "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and he should pay attention to it." ”

When he left Yanping, Bolo told him that although Azig was extremely good at fighting, his temperament was arrogant and irritable, and he asked him to remind him more and plan more.

"Humph!" Azig snorted coldly, "Tong Peng and Shi Fu's people are all weak Han people, what kind of battle can they fight?"

"And I have 43,000 elites under my command, especially more than 10,000 Jianzhou warriors, skilled in archery and horses, and invincible. There are also more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry, which are also quite brave. Such a strong army is enough to destroy more than 100,000 Ming troops.

"You say the firearms are well-armed? How could he be better at using firearms than the Eight Banners Han Army under Tong Yangjia? Just Tong Yangjia's more than 60 cannons can make these southern barbarians powerless to fight back. ”

"As long as my army moves, crush the 20,000 Ming army like killing insects and ants!" He said proudly: "If you want me to say that this team of Nanban came just right. Slaughtered that King Chen, in revenge for Bolo's murder, and took his military rations to fill our army's food and grass. ”

Thurai opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"Taking advantage of the first arrival of the southerners, the foothold is not stable, and tomorrow the whole army will attack and slaughter these southern barbarians who don't know the height of the sky!" Azig then asked the generals in the army to be recruited, and after a little discussion, he began to issue military orders in high spirits: "Li Chengfen, order you to lead 2,000 men and horses to garrison the Shanguan Pass and keep an eye on the Ming army in the pass." When our army is fighting, don't let it go out of the customs and attack it. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

It's not that Azigeto is big, although Li Chengfen's command is also Han, but they are all selected and left by him when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, plus after being trained by the Manchurians and equipped with weapons, its combat effectiveness is more than twice as high as that of the ordinary Ming army. With 2,000 men in formation, it was enough to deal with 4,000 Ming troops.

"Han Gushan and Zhang Cunren," Azig continued, "order the seven thousand men and horses under your two to line up in front of the formation, and be sure to disrupt the enemy's formation, so that the Chinese army can break the enemy!" ”

"Subordinate...... Comply with orders. The two replied helplessly.

The so-called vanguard is what later generations often call "cannon fodder", and it is usually the green battalion that they surrendered to serve as the post. The function is to consume the enemy's physical strength and disrupt the enemy's formation.

Of course, in the face of an enemy with great physical strength and momentum, the casualty ratio must also be extremely high. In many cases, they were even used to send them to death, filling the trenches in front of the enemy with corpses.
