His face was blackened by smoke, and Abatai looked very embarrassed at this time. Looking at the village in front of him, he was really anxious and helpless.
He led 40,000 troops to the Manjiadong area in Jiaxiang County. Then, he discovered that there were wrong names for people in the world, but there were no wrong names for places. This place was really full of holes!
I thought I could use the smoke method to smoke out the bandits hiding in the cave, but after trying it, I realized that the problem was simpler. If there is no method to prevent smoke, the bandits here don't use it at all.
When the Qing army came to suppress it, the Ming government had already sorted it out.
Even the commander-in-chief Abatai personally went into battle to test the smoke method, but the result was that it had no effect. In addition to smoking the village, it also smoked his own people. This ghost place is simply
It was like a nightmare. Over the past few days, two to three hundred Qing troops would be wiped out every day, but Abatai and others were helpless.
Abatai was so angry that he really wanted to lead his army to dig up the ground, but he still didn't believe that they couldn't be dug out. But this method was just a thought in his mind, and there was no condition for implementation.
"Baylor, let's withdraw our troops from here! The earth caves here are densely covered with them, and they are intricate and interconnected. Not to mention us, even spies from the local area will find it difficult to grasp them clearly. We are spending our time here, except for the disciples.
It has no effect other than increasing losses and delaying time." Turg calmed down after a few days of tossing. He knew that he and Abate had no choice in this kind of place. At this time, they could not act on their own initiative and had to know how to make trade-offs.
He could not stay stuck in this place, so he quickly advised Abatai to make the right choice.
After hearing Turg's words, Abatai's eyes widened like cattle, and he said: "Withdraw the troops? We have lost more than a thousand troops in this wretched place! We just returned without success, how can Ben Beile swallow this?"
Tone?"
"Baylor, as the commander-in-chief of the army, we must not act on impulse and think long-term! We have to consider the overall situation of going south and entering the customs. It is already February, and we are getting closer and closer to the time to return to the customs."
After Turg said these words, Abatai really calmed down. Yes, you can't forget the overall situation just because you are arguing with a bunch of bandits and unruly people. The army must leave before summer comes, otherwise it will cause trouble due to the inability to adapt to the climate.
The epidemic has reduced the fighting power. Seeing that there is not much time left, we must seize the time to seize more cities. Spending time in this rotten place in the backcountry will have no use except losing men and horses.
When Abatai reluctantly wanted to withdraw from Jiaxiang County and look for a place to rob again, a Ming army in Cangzhou, south of the capital, on the Hejian line, was also looking for a fighter plane.
At the end of the first month of the first year, Zhu Youjian ordered Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai to leave the capital and go south with two brigades of the New Army, waiting for opportunities to find weak areas of the Qing army and look for fighter opportunities. There was no formal ceremony for this dispatch. They were going to
The reason for the Xishan exercise is out of the city.
The reason for this was that Zhu Youjian was afraid that after Chen Xinjia knew that the new army had left the city, he would send an order for them to join the main force of King Qin's army. In addition, he was also afraid that the spies of the Qing army in the capital would spread the news of the new army's movements to the ears of the Qing army, causing them to
What kind of evil thoughts are there?
The strength is too weak, so it is better to be careful. According to the new army's combat strength, as long as they are not besieged by the main force of the Qing army, they should not suffer much.
When leaving the city, Zhu Youjian gave a special explanation to Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai. The main purpose of this battle out of the capital was to train the team, mainly to annihilate small groups of soldiers. Don't think about fighting a big war. The conditions for fighting a big war are still there.
I'm immature. Once Huang Degong's army arrives at the war zone, you can fight however you want.
In a town in Nanpi County, Cangzhou, Cao Ruohai was camping here with his brigade. In the big tent of the brigade, Cao Ruohai stared at the map in front of him with a sad face. It had been almost ten days since he left the capital, and he was still there.
Not a single fighter was found, which really worried Cao Ruohai and his men who wanted to fight.
"You forgive me, have you not found a single trace of the captive soldiers even today?"
"Brigade, the main force of the captive soldiers is currently on the Shandong front line. There are not many captive soldiers where we are staying, and they are all concentrated in big cities. How can we find them easily?"
"Yes, I thought we were almost close to Shandong when we arrived at Nanpi. There should be roving Japanese soldiers, but we still couldn't encounter them! What should we do? The Holy Father also specifically told us that we can't do anything before the governor goes north to the war zone.
Go to the Shandong front line where the main force of the Qing army is wandering! But it’s hard for people!”
"How is the situation with General Liu? Have they found a fighter jet?"
"General Commander Liu's situation at Yuqiao is the same as ours. There are no prisoners to fight. Before you come back, he sent someone over to ask about our situation!"
"Actually, it's not that there are no opportunities to fight against the prisoners. It just depends on whether the brigade commander and General Liu want to fight." As the newly appointed commander of the independent cavalry reconnaissance company of the second brigade, Ma Youliang is actually equivalent to having half a foot in the brigade.
The leadership of the Ministry, so he was very involved in the war staff. Seeing that Cao Ruohai had not opened up his mind, he had to give some practical information to guide him.
"Are there any soldiers to fight there?"
"Far away in the horizon and close at hand, there are five or six thousand soldiers guarding Hejian City. They are sparsely defended, have scattered control over the city, and are far away from the main camp of the Qing army. Aren't they the most suitable Qing soldiers for us to fight?"
When Cao Ruohai heard that May Youliang actually suggested attacking Hejian Mansion, he was shocked! "The prisoners of Hejian Mansion? Youliang, are you crazy? That is a city that the Qing army focuses on defending!"
"We have every chance to capture the Hejian Mansion in the hotel. The Qing army is not good at defending the city and has neglected to take precautions. They never thought that we would dare to attack the city at this time. This is called taking it by surprise. From the enemy's and ours'
In terms of combat strength, most of them are servant soldiers. The main force of the Eight Banners is at most a thousand. Their combat strength is not as good as our army. Moreover, we are in the dark and the enemy is in the open. Such a huge advantage lies in the ability to defeat the captive soldiers in the river.
The opportunity is right in front of you.”
After some encouragement from May Youliang, Cao Ruohai thought about it carefully and found that what this kid said seemed to make sense! "You Liang! The Holy One told you when he left the capital that we are not allowed to fight a tough battle with the main force of the Qing army. It seems that we are fighting Hejian Mansion.
It goes against the will of the Holy Spirit."
"The Holy Father said he won't let us fight a tough battle, but he didn't say he wouldn't let us fight Hejian Prefecture? Is fighting Hejian Prefecture a tough battle? As long as we can win, it's not a tough battle."
"If we want to attack Hejian Mansion, we will definitely not be able to rely on our own troops. We have to let General Liu join forces with us to fight! Do you think he will agree?"
"General Liu will definitely agree. We want to make great contributions before the governor's army arrives, so that we can take the lead in the expansion of the new army in the future. I'm afraid General Liu wants this more than us, right?"
Ma Youliang said a core reason why the new army is eager to fight! Huang Degong is coming soon! Whether it is the Lao Yong Guard Battalion or the New Yong Guard Battalion, the serious commander-in-chief is someone else. If they want to dominate the future expansion, they
We have to fight a few good battles before Huang Degong arrives. Otherwise, if we wait until the army joins forces to fight again, all the credit will go to Huang Degong.
