Chapter 686: Surrounding

Zhu Linmiao finally showed a satisfied smile, Jianyu's current formation of more than ten miles long had fully met the conditions for an ambush.

However, Zhang Jiayu still seemed to be "not satisfied" and said: "In addition, the 25,000 people of Shang Kexi's department behind the thief palace just passed Jurong last night. The location of Duoduo himself has not yet been discovered, and it is expected that he should be following the thief army Zu Runze. ”

As a result, the Ashan and He Luo Hui Headquarters, which were at the forefront of the main force of the Qing army, were more than 20 miles away from Shang Kexi at the rear. With the combat strength of the Dragon Guard and the Broken Battalion, once a general attack is launched, by the time the front team of Duoduo reacts, the rear team has already been completely wiped out.

The situation turned out to be even better than best expected. Zhu Linmiao sighed secretly in his heart, if he wants to say that he is a feint and lures the enemy, even an "expert" like Zhang Jiayu will never be able to do a better job than the North Koreans who are really defeated. Even if Jianyu is as cunning as a fox and vigilant as a rabbit, in the face of such a realistic "performance", he will inevitably fall into the scheme.

He then picked up a pen and drew a circle on the map, covering from Huanglongbu to Mashan west of Chunhua, where more than 90,000 main forces of the Qing army were framed.

He then turned his head and said, "The decisive battle is set here!"

"Ordered all the troops to circle around this area as quickly as possible. Be careful not to reveal your whereabouts, the most important thing in ambush warfare is suddenness. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Linmiao said again: "By the way, let the rangers everywhere start to do it, and pick Duoduo's 'eyes' first!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Xiongfei arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, where should the light artillery battalion go first?" ”

In order to better complete the ambush plan, Zhu Linmiao had a whimsical idea when he was in Jiangning, and gathered all the more than 100 Furlong machine guns of various sizes of the Ming army together, plus a small number of hussars responsible for covering, and temporarily mixed them into a light artillery battalion.

Unlike the cannons, which were directly assigned to the encircling forces, the light artillery battalion had a very high mobility due to its extremely light weight, which could be used to shuttle back and forth between multiple ambush points for fire support.

Then the first place of operation of the light artillery battalion must be the position where the Ming army took the lead in launching a general attack, so as to quickly tear a gap in the enemy's position.

However, because it was difficult to predict the specific location of the various units in advance, no matter how detailed the plan was, it was not decided where to attack the Qing army first.

So Zhu Linwei beckoned several officers in the tent to discuss, and finally everyone unanimously looked at the tail of Duoduo's team-Shang Kexi.

This Qing army is not strong, slow to move and has a large number of people, and the first to break through here can not only greatly damage the morale of the Qing army, but also attract the main force of Duoduo to the east to reinforce, thereby reducing the pressure in the direction of Nanjing.

Not long after, the military order to start the decisive battle was issued from the Lishui battalion.

Zhu Linmiao stood in the camp with his hands in his hands, looking at the heralds who were scattered far away, as well as the soldiers who were either carrying baggage or waiting for the whole team, only to feel the warm current in his chest surging and his pride rising to the sky.

After nearly two years of hard work, he finally looked forward to the battle that would determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he won, the relationship between the strength and weakness of the Ming and Qing Dynasties would be completely reversed, and the main force would never be able to make any waves. And the Ming Dynasty will take advantage of the victory and take the heroes of a hundred battles all the way north, completely crushing the northern invaders under the wheel of history!

Under his leadership, the Ming Dynasty will achieve a thousand years of prosperity and be proud of the world's peak!

From this moment on, all of this will no longer be just a dream, but an official first step towards glory. This battle will also go down in history forever and be praised by the world for thousands of years!

He suddenly beckoned Shi Lin and said, "Order the imperial camp to assemble, and we will go to Jintan." ”

"Yes!" Shi Lin first saluted reflexively, and then said in surprise, "Your Majesty, the big war is coming, why do you want to ......?"

"Go to the soldiers first, and by the way, witness the first shot of the decisive battle!"

……

A biting cold wind rolled up in the wilderness and burrowed into Urelsu's collar, freezing him so hard that he couldn't stop shivering.

To say that the temperature here is much higher than that of his hometown in Liaodong, but in addition to the wind, there are other things that make him feel cold in his heart.

He craned his neck to peek around, it was a post road, but there was no figure anywhere as far as his eye could see. Although he knew that the Han people within a radius of more than 100 miles had already taken refuge—in fact, Zhu Linmiao ordered the magistrates to evacuate the people near the battlefield in an orderly manner—but the bleak sight of withered grass and yellow leaves still filled him with a feeling of discomfort.

"Lord Tundo," he said, glancing at the officer on the horse beside him, "you say, we won't meet that too......

Without waiting for Tun to speak, several Qing cavalrymen who heard this reprimanded one after another: "What nonsense? It's unlucky! ”

"Shut up and go in peace......"

"Okay, why are you mentioning this?"

In the past two days, only two of the sixteen or seventeen cavalry teams that were sent out to investigate were able to return with their whole body, and the rest were only ambushed more than ten miles away from the camp, and most of them were killed or wounded, and it was lucky to be able to escape back to one or two people.

The most bizarre thing is that, according to those who came back alive, they only heard four bangs, and most of them had already lost their lives before they could see where the enemy was.

It's just that Prince Yu ordered a rush attack on Nanjing, and the generals and officials of all departments were busy hurrying, only because of the sneak attack of the Nanren rebels, so in addition to increasing the number of Xiao cavalry squads, the others did not care.

Ulersu moved closer to his flag officer, and said carefully: "My lord, why don't we go around the neighborhood, don't go far, the little one is a little worried......

"Fart!" Seeing that he had repeatedly "disturbed the morale of the army", Tun Duo couldn't help but say coldly and angrily, "Lord Belle said that this time he couldn't find out the situation thirty miles away, so he turned his head back!" ”

He swept around to his side again, "We have more than forty horsemen, if we really meet some southerners, we might as well take some military exploits......"

"My lord, what do you think it is?!"

One of the captives suddenly shouted in alarm, and the group of more than forty people immediately followed the direction of his finger, and saw that three shiny objects, one red and two green, were rising in the air, except that they flew higher, but they were somewhat similar to the fireworks set off during the festival.

Ulersu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he hurriedly looked back at the direction of the camp, and found that he was running out of thirteen or fourteen miles, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "Yes, it's that thing coming!" ”

"Shut up!" Tun Duo glared at him fiercely, then took off the bow and arrow behind him, and ordered the standard-bearer beside him, "Order, let everyone gather in formation and prepare for battle!" ”

"Huh!"

More than forty horsemen quickly formed two rows of charges, and they all held their bows and arrows in their hands, and moved forward cautiously.

But they walked four or five miles in a row, and no one came to attack. Just as Tunduo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw a burst of fire flickering in the dry bushes in front of him, and a dozen or so captives in the front row immediately fell off their horses with a muffled grunt.
