Sun Desheng and others all replied with great courage.

So, the twenty-seven Ming army sentries began to lead their horses across the river. After crossing the river, Xu Xianwu walked over first and threw a piece of dog meat into the camp of Xiuwen Road. After hearing a dog running over to eat the meat, Xu Xianwu quietly

Climbing over the wall, opening the gate of the village, Xu Xianwu blew the whistle, and immediately, twenty-six Ming army sentries came over with their swords.

"kill!"

Suddenly, the sound of killings broke out everywhere. The heads of the landowners were beheaded while they were sleeping. Some of them were awakened and were at a loss. Just when they ran out of the house to see what happened, their heads flew off.

Wang Youwu was so frightened that he crawled under the bed: "My mother! What is going on!"

at the same time.

The regiment training envoy also did not expect that the Ming army would attack by surprise. He was so frightened that he immediately rode to the northwest without even wearing his clothes.

Wang Qingzhong ran to Sun Sike's camp before stopping: "Please inform the admiral! I have something important to report. The Ming army attacked, and our regiment suffered heavy losses! Huge losses!"

Sun Sike's soldiers were quite surprised after hearing this, and hurriedly ran in to inform Sun Sike.

Sun Sike did not dare to take it lightly and hurriedly summoned Wang Qingzhong.

But after Sun Sike learned from Wang Qingzhong what happened tonight, he was so angry that he slapped Xiu Wendao on the spot: "Useless thing! You didn't even understand how many Ming troops were attacking, so what are you reporting?"

"yes!"

"They brought about more than a hundred red cannons, about five thousand matchlocks, ten thousand armored infantry, more than ten thousand spearmen, more than ten thousand Dzungar cavalry, all equipped with light bows, and the rest

They are all members of the group training and local bravery."

"Very good, I will go to attract their attention head-on. You lead a thousand cuirassiers and three thousand infantry, and cooperate with the Royal Air Force to attack the Taqing granary in a detour!"

Sun Sike had to gather all his troops and move forward together.

Ming Dynasty liked the land without landlords the most.

Next, Sun Sike did not let Wang Zhongqing and the other regiments controlled by the Han people advance alone. It was not that he cherished the lives of these landlord Xiangyong, but that he had to admit that a large number of Xiangyong used their weapons in front of the well-trained Mingyao.

, but you lose more.

However, the Guards did not attack Dongzhi Town immediately, but began to set up camp outside Dongzhi Town.

Xu Xianwu reported to Huang Qing.

"Okay, you continue to work hard to find out their food routes. Since you dare to fight against the Ming Dynasty, then I, the general, will accompany them in a good fight!"

"I heard from people in lower ranks that there are about two to three hundred of them."

Xu Xianwu stood on his feet and gave a military salute. He was very excited. He finally had a big job!

Sun Sike hurriedly asked: "How many bright demons did you find during the day?"

Cement transported by sea was brought here with the help of local people and began to be used to pour walls.

The Qing Dynasty now doesn't have many cards to play with the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they can't kill all the Gansu gentry landlords who still support them. Then won't they be able to make wedding clothes for the Ming Dynasty?

Wang Qingzhong forcibly exaggerated the number of scouts in Ming Dynasty and replied.

I couldn't help but cover my face and kneel on the ground: "Admiral, calm down, I'm afraid I'll be dead if I'm too late!"

"The Ming Yao army was so powerful that I had no time to react. My subordinate, Xiang Xiang Yong, had been frightened during the day. Now that he was suddenly attacked at night, his morale was naturally low. How could he stop the Ming army's attack?

"

Soldiers also began to use engineering shovels to dig communication trenches around the perimeter.

However, the green camp scouts sent by Sun Sike subsequently had low combat effectiveness. Xu Xianwu and others did not suffer any losses. On the contrary, they had a clear idea of ​​the specific size of Sun Sike's 60,000 troops.

If you go head-to-head, you will definitely win, but wouldn't it be a good thing if you can win more easily and save some bullets for the emperor?

Sun Sike was so angry that his hands trembled, and he pointed at him and cursed: "You, you, why are you so useless! Two or three hundred people scared the shit out of you! I have never been so embarrassed in the Qing Dynasty! Back then, I was the only one

The Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, who dared to chase thousands of Ming troops with 20 or 30 men, were beaten to pieces, instead of the three thousand people now being chased by his Ming Army, they were pissed off!"

"According to our reconnaissance, Hot Spring Fort is the food storage point of Sun Sike's army. They have stationed 5,000 Dzungar cavalry and more than 10,000 gentry rural warriors as auxiliary troops to help them transport food. There are trenches dug outside the city, but only

It is only half a foot wide, and it is newly dug. There are still local heroes digging the soil. If we want to attack here, we must attack it as soon as possible. We cannot let them build up the defenses before attacking."

Sun Sike himself brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus the landowners who gathered from all over the country to train and arm them. A total of more than 60,000 soldiers and horses formed a huge directional formation and moved forward.

"Why did the Ming army suddenly appear here? Most of the food and fodder for my 60,000-strong Qing army is here. If something goes wrong, I cannot afford it!"

Although Xu Xianwu had advanced firearms and rich combat experience, he could not defeat this 60,000-strong army, so he could only retreat while sneaking attacks.

In order to find out the grain collection points and grain roads of Sun Sike's tribe, Xu Xianwu and other Ming Dynasty reconnaissance cavalry were dispatched again and continued to conduct reconnaissance along the official road from Taichang Town to Ningxia City.

Gansu Governor Yitu was naturally very surprised and panicked when he learned about this incident.

After thinking about it, Sun Sike did not execute such a disgraceful Wang Zhongqing on the spot. After all, he still needed local nobles like Wang Zhongqing to provide food and grass supplies and auxiliary support.

The two Niulu armored soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army all acted as liaisons, responsible for delivering Sun Sike's military orders to ensure that the three forces of the Junggars, Green Camp and Tuanlian could advance at the same time to avoid being attacked by a small Ming army.

Reported by Xu Xianwuhui.

Hot Spring Castle.

Under the leadership of Xu Xianwu, 4,000 troops from the Fifth Town of the Guards Army have arrived here.

Huang Qing knew that the Qing Tatars had limited food. As long as they could steal their granaries, the Qing army would collapse without attacking.

Because Sun Sike sent fewer and fewer scouts, Xu Xianwu and other Ming army sentry cavalry easily found the location of the Qing army's food garrison point.

Itu was worried and hurriedly ordered: "Bayar Qianhu, please lead five thousand riders out of the city immediately to drive away this Ming army and prevent them from camping here!"

Those who don't know are fearless. Thousands of Jungar households took the order and led five thousand Junggar cavalry out and charged towards the Ming Dynasty Guards.

Seeing this, Xu Xianwu immediately ordered: "The artillery will launch rockets and mortars immediately! The infantry is ready to fire, and the engineers continue to build fortifications!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
