On May 1, 277 of the Ming Dynasty, a light rain was ushered in on the grassland of the Tumut Department. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The weather was getting hotter, and the rain returned to a lot of cold, making the march of the large army on the steppe quite difficult.

Such a small setback made the marching team look a little dull, but Ni Yuanlu, who continued to follow the movement of the army, seemed quite relaxed.

The army under his command is no longer a newcomer. They have gone through countless difficulties, and this little rain is obviously nothing.

As soon as it rained, the hats prepared in advance were sent out one after another. The army paused for a while to reorganize its ranks, and the march, which had rested for a while, quickly boiled ginger soup and prepared herbs.

Everything was in order, there was no panic at all.

"The materials transferred in from the rear have arrived smoothly, so that the transfer route of Yunnei, Yunchuanwei, Yulinwei and Datong Youwei can be said to have officially started operation." Xia Chen tapped the supplies, and his mood was quite comfortable.

Ni Yuanlu happened to step into the tent, and when he heard it, he smiled and said: "Thanks to the battle before, the resistance of the Mongols was emptied. Otherwise, it would not be easy to form a series of military stations in the core sphere of influence of the Tumut Ministry. ”

Xia Chen saw Ni Yuanlu coming, and hurriedly saluted.

Without mentioning it politely, Xia Chen continued: "That's true. Our army is good at everything, but it is extremely dependent on logistics. Fighting now is not as good as in ancient times, just prepare dry food and weapons. There are too many supplies to prepare now, and the pressure on logistics is too great. Fortunately, this place was once run by my Ming Dynasty, and the old city left all the way can be used as a stronghold. Otherwise, marching on the steppe is really unsubstantiated. ”

Ni Yuanlu nodded, and said, "How many materials are transferred?" ”

"A total of 50,000 light cakes, 500 shells, 300,000 fixed ammunition, and the cement that Ni Xiang repeatedly requested before were also transferred from Beijing, a total of 3,000 catties. As for the rest of the supplies, they are all in this list, please take a look at them. Ni Yuanlu said: "No need, I'll just come and ask." It's the current battle situation, what do you think? ”

When talking about those boring logistics problems, Xia Chen's expression was quite normal, and when he mentioned the battle situation in front of him, he frowned, stared at Ni Yuanlu, and finally couldn't help but say: "Subordinate, I am really worried about this battle." ”

Since ancient times, they have been rushing to fight fast.

For example, what the Red Lady of Liaodong did was to gather all the war horses in Liaodong Town, and made a detour from Phoenix City to Haizhou, and finally landed at Lushunkou. The first battle revitalized the situation in the lonely land of Phoenix City in Liaodong, and even made the entire Qing people's heartland suffer this blow, as if being hit in the stomach with a straight hook fist, and suddenly couldn't straighten up to the waist.

And in that battle, the most important thing is to fight fast and have super power.

In the same way, operating outside the Cypriot and in the enemy's strongholds, this time the First Army's actions can be called turtle speed. The movement is slow, dragging a large army, and each time they arrive at a stronghold, they have to divide their troops to defend the stronghold.

Although this practice has allowed the army to replenish its rear routes, logistics and transport have been supported, and a steady stream of domestic materials has been smoothly transported, maintaining a strong and abundant combat effectiveness. But there is no doubt that at such a slow pace, the enemy, of course, has already received the news and has been preparing for a long time.

In this way, the suddenness of the most important point of the attack is lost.

Once the enemy is on guard, the next battle will have to be hard-hitting. Fighting a hard-fought war on the opponent's home field, rather than using the suddenness of the attacker to win by surprise, it is strange that Xia Chen is not worried.

"It's good to be steady. If you can hold your own position, you are invincible. For the general, think about defeat first and then win. Ni Yuanlu encouraged him and left, leaving Xia Chen thinking hard.

"Lao Xia, haven't you figured it out yet?" The army started to move again, moving towards the east little by little, Xia Chen rode on his horse, and suddenly Chen Yongfu beside him also rode over, looked at Xia Chen and said.

"I think, I thought of something." Xia Chen said: "The military commander must have been insightful." ”

"Don't you dare to be a teacher. It's some ideas. Chen Yongfu said: "Is this war, I understand the suddenness, to fight a surprise attack, like Huo Quai's disease, how many martial artists have looked north to the grassland?" But the soldiers are impermanent, and the water is impermanent. When using soldiers, we must pay attention to adapting measures to local conditions. Therefore, this time, there is such a slow plan in the plan set by the Privy Secretariat, and it is because of the Mongols that it has also changed. ”

"The Mongols have changed?" Xia Chen muttered, "Because of this Naturalization City? ”

"That's right. Since His Majesty led the troops to victory with firearms, the world has changed. Normally, the Mongols were running around on horseback, luring the enemy deep and forcing us to stretch our supply lines in search of fighters. And now, the Mongols are also going to resist the city. It's not a change, what is it? Chen Yongfu said: "If we also come to attack, then maybe under persecution, it will be the Zhenjiao Mongols who abandoned the city of Guihua, forcing us to pursue thousands of miles." When the time comes, chasing, you must wait for the day when you are lured by the enemy to make dumplings. If you don't chase it, won't it be in vain? ”

"That's right. There is a saying in the saint that says very well, to deal with the Tartars on the steppe, it doesn't matter how many times you attack and how many times you win, and how many living forces you kill are the most important. Xia Chen nodded repeatedly.

"But let's kill it slowly...... Didn't the Mongols choose to be stern? They stayed, and that was enough. We will be able to win it! Chen Yongfu smiled, clamped the horse's belly, and left quietly.

Xia Chen's eyes lit up.

……

Outside the city of Toyoshu, a team of people waited solemnly.

The weather-beaten Sonny looked at these warriors with yellow flags, and all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart.

A few days ago, he went to the Naturalization City and saw the Naturalization City for the first time. At that time, Soni didn't tell Bayindai why he needed to let Bayindai stand up to it first, and he was vain and wronged with the snake.

Because, as soon as Sony saw these centaurs under his hands, he couldn't help but feel a sigh and a sense of emptiness.

You must know that if an unsubordinate person like Eluchen appears under Huang Taiji's men, then he will definitely usher in the encirclement and suppression of the Manchu Iron Cavalry as soon as possible, and let Eluchen die and be wiped out, so as to warn those who come after.

But now, Sony is here with his soldiers. Just like Huang Taiji would do.

It's just that if it is Huang Taiji, it must be to calm the chaos of the ministers before leading the army south. But now, Sony has to unite all the forces that can be united, let the ministers and Mingren fight first, and wait for the opportunity to move.

And this seems to be the best choice among all Sony's options at the moment.

Everything, first of all, of course, is because of strength.

There is no doubt that Sony, the last force to enter the market, has the thinnest strength in its hands.

Zhenghuang Banner is a large banner with a scale of more than 20,000 people, and it used to be the first in the Eight Banners Army. But the first moment has declined, and there are only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses that Sony can bring.

It is these more than 5,000 people who have already experienced hardships along the way, eliminated them, and experienced the wind and frost all the way and still remain in the Eighth Banner Army.

Rao is so, Sony glanced over, but still did not see the return of the emperor's pro-army style.

"My warriors of the Yellow Banner of the Great Clean!" Sonny sank into the dantian and said loudly: "Today, we are here, in the steppe of Mongolia, and we are about to set foot on the battlefield. ”

All the soldiers in the Yellow Flag looked at Sony, and countless eyes surged with their own meanings. There are expectations, doubts, incomprehension and unwillingness, restlessness, and a lot of fear and resistance.

In the face of these gazes, Sony said firmly: "Our Manchu warriors are loyal and reliable, and they are also righteous and worthy of their allies. And now, the Mongolian steppe has ushered in the invasion of the Ming, and our allies are in danger. So, here we are. We joined this war and fought for the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty. Warriors, listen, this battle will most likely determine the future of my Great Qing Dynasty. If we lose Mongolia, we will lose half of the country. Without this most important ally, we can only fight alone in Liaodong. ”

There was silence on the field, and many people couldn't understand Sony's words. But there are also some people who understand, and many more people who don't understand it, but they still understand the meaning of this serious atmosphere.

"Now, the Qing Dynasty needs brave us."

"We need to go to the battlefield, forget the fear of death, forget the strength of the enemy, forget all the difficulties that hinder our victory." Sonny said, drew his knife to the south, and said: "We are the invincible Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, go south, follow me!" ”

"Whoa!" The crowd shouted.

More than 5,000 people traveled southward, bypassing the city of Guihua, and finding a trail to cross the Yellow River, the Black River and the Gray River, which appeared in the southern part of the entire Tumut Department.

That's right, they showed up in ......

The First Army of the Ming Empire had just broken through the cloud of the ambush of the Tumut Division.

……

Yunchuan Military Station.

Wu Wanying has been bored lately.

As a technical soldier and a hygienist, Wu Wanying's work these days is really very leisurely, so much so that he took the initiative to go to the quartermaster department in the military station to get a hand.

Without him, the entire military station is the busiest and has the most things to do.

The materials transferred from the series of military stations of Jiulonggou, Yulinwei and Datong Right Guard arrived at the Yunchuan Military Station, and some of the materials such as masonry and cement were started on the spot, expanding the defense of the Yunchuan Military Station. And more, it will continue to be transferred to the Yunnei military station, and will be supplied to the front-line army.

In this way, even a few small problems with a few iron injuries do not need Wu Wanying. After all, the camp of the military hospital is also here.

Of course, even with the military hospital, there are not many things.

Such an unusually idle state made Wu Wanying feel very uncomfortable.

"What about the wolf Juxu who said it was good, and said it was good...... Yellow sand thousands of miles, the pride of fame. Alas, in the end, they can only eat dirt here. As she spoke, Wu Wanying spit out again and spit out some sand.

In recent years, the desertification on the grassland has been quite serious, and the sand will be hung up when the wind is strong, which is very distressing.

"Angkor...... It's the steamed buns that are not good. The steamed bun made a face and sat beside Wu Wanying obediently.

She also understood that it was because she was uncomfortable before, which caused Zhang Ting to choose someone to stay behind and fell on them.

"Well, what are you talking about. What's wrong with you, if you want to say, I also coaxed it, and at that time I didn't shout out that I wanted to go to the front. can only be reduced to the rear to give people a hand. Wu Wanying hurriedly said.

Seeing this, the steamed bun burst into tears and smiled, and went back to the house again.

Wu Wanying shook her head, and couldn't help but think in her mind: "I don't know what happened to that stupid big guy now...... Brothers, it's okay. ”

Thinking like this, Wu Wanying also gradually fell into a trance.

Of course, what the stupid big guy said was Ding Gaotian.

This tall, seemingly intimidating veteran is clearly a man with a story. Even Ni Yuanlu asked in person, and he didn't tell the source of his ability.

However, as long as there is a skill in the barracks, Ding Gaotian has never done bad things, and he has no intention of doing bad things, so of course no one cares about this.

However, relying on his performance in the raid, Ding Gaotian was credited, and he was promoted on the spot, from a small soldier to a squad leader.

Such a change may seem insignificant, but considering that it is still a war at the moment, and the credit for it is all after the war, it is actually very promising.

Regarding being the squad leader, Ding Gaotian behaved very calmly.

He followed the march of the large army in this way.

Finally, after surviving an unknown desert, the grassy grassland reappeared. Ding Gaotian muttered, "Qingzuka is coming? ”

Speaking of which, the story of Qingzuka was told by him from Wu Wanying's mouth.

At the beginning, Ding Gaotian asked Wu Wanying what kind of mother-in-law he wanted, and Wu Wanying pulled out the allusion of sinking fish and geese. In the end, it was Ding Gaotian who knew that there was such a place as Qingzuka.

"If you're done with the battle, if you're free, you'll have to go and see it. However, even if people have been dead for thousands of years, I am afraid that they will not be able to see any name. Thinking like this, Ding Gaotian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at himself.

He was at the forefront of the march, and his expression was even more sluggish.

fell into the eyes of others, and the devil was stunned for a moment.

Ding Gaotian's next action made people feel that this person was stunned.

I saw that Ding Gaotian's expression on his face suddenly froze, and he suddenly fell to the ground, as if he fell to the ground in a daze.

But in an instant, some veterans understood.

"It's a massive cavalry movement!" Ding Gaotian shouted loudly.

It didn't take long for dozens of scouts to return. Behind them, there were countless Mongolian knights who came after them.

On the peak of the green mound, Se Ling slowly put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand: "Mingren, it's finally here." ”

Ni Yuanlu slowly exhaled: "It seems that none of the Mongolians have left." Okay, okay, ahem...... Enough comes, that's good. (To be continued.) )
