Chapter 448 Tricks
Li Tingyu swallowed the dough with a "wheeze and wheeze", grinned and said in a hurry: "My lord, the Tartars are aggressive today. The Han army and the Mongols are taking turns to fight. The real Tartars are not even close to the wall. , The combat power is worrying. From this point of view, this group of animals didn’t learn anything else in the customs, but they were proficient in enjoying the blessing and corruption, and they didn’t even have the strength to hold a knife. Hahaha!”

He smiled boldly, but Ma Xintian shook his head, and said coldly: "That's not right, Jianu didn't move, it's too early to say that. When Hauge was in Sichuan, we fought against real Tartars, and those savages were no match. The jet lag outside the pass, the people who came out of the ice and snow and drank blood, the ability to fight with a knife is as deep-rooted as it was brought from the womb, and it is not so easy to degenerate."

Li Tingyu was not convinced, put the bowl down, and shouted: "Young Ma Yan, please grow others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige! I will take people to steal the camp tonight, whether he is a real Tartar or a fake Tartar, and chop him off hundreds of times." Come back and show me your head!"

Ma Xintian raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll go tonight. You're tired during the day, so you can rest at night."

Wang Huan and Li Dingguo laughed when they saw their bickering.

After laughing, Wang Huan turned to look at Li Dingguo, and said, "What's Dingguo's opinion?"

"Your Excellency has already made up his mind, why bother to ask the last general?" Li Dingguo humbly clasped his fists: "But stealing the camp and setting fire to it is not a bad thing."

Wang Huan touched his chin, squinted his eyes and thought about it. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the Qing army Aha who was collecting the corpses outside also withdrew. The surrounding area was empty, and the evening wind blew past, stirring up the bloody smell on the ground. Come on, to remind people of the horrors that have happened here during the day.Fires were lit everywhere in the wooden fence, and some soldiers stepped forward and began to clear out the wreckage of the shield car in the trench by the light of the fire, so as to restore the function of the trench barrier and prepare for the next day's battle. Protecting them behind them, with arrows in their hands on the bowstring, they watched the direction of the Qing army's camp vigilantly.

The flames of the Qing army camp were faintly visible in the far distance, reflecting the sky red. The night sky cleared up after the rain was extraordinarily bright, and the stars merged into the Milky Way across the dark green sky, setting off the brightness of the moon. Occasionally, clouds drifted by. Let the moonlight be like a girl covered by tulle, shyly covering her face.

"Ma Xintian, take the people from the Thousand Fire Battalion." Wang Huan said slowly, "The old soldiers who were born as white soldiers, take a detour and go over the mountains. They all bring some kerosene. The rain just stopped and there is no fire. Oil is inconvenient to set on fire.”

Ma Xintian stood up, cupped his fists to accept the order, Li Tingyu gave him a resentful look, his eyes were full of jealousy.

"Be careful, Man Baqi also grew up in the white mountains and black waters, and his skills in the mountains are not much worse than that of the white soldiers." Wang Huan warned: "If you are not easy to do it, come back and focus on stability."

Ma Xintian simply replied: "Understood!"

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "General Ma is an old Sichuan soldier. He grew up in the mountains, and his skills in the mountains are unmatched. It would be best to send him there. After all, General Li is good at fighting in battle. The movement up to the edge of the cliff is not good enough, besides, after working hard during the day, it is the right way to take a rest at night."

A few words were light and easy, which made clear the correctness of Wang Huan's choice, and also invisibly resolved Li Tingyu's slight embarrassment.

This is where Wang Huan appreciates Li Dingguo. He always has an insight into the overall situation and has a unique vision. He walks on the same channel as Wang Huan. He also has a super high EQ and is good at balancing the relationship between generals. He was the No.1 general in the late Ming Dynasty in history. , as expected.

Li Tingyu was really very useful, so he was happy, shaking his beard and said: "If the night attack goes well, my lord, it will be sunny tomorrow, shall we pull out the artillery battalion and have a vigorous fight, just like you said Let Dorgon have a taste of chasing his ass with an iron bullet?"

Since the battle with Nikan, Li Tingyu has superstitiously respected cannons. The power of yellow gunpowder beyond the times has made the blood of the one-eyed general swell. The world-famous Mongolian cavalry and the terrifying Jurchen soldiers are under the blow of firearms. , as helpless as a fool, this refreshing sense of violence deeply fascinated him.

Li Tingyu couldn't help laughing at the thought of Dorgon fleeing like a mouse under the iron bullets of the Shenwei cannon. The laughter was rough and spread far away, making the soldiers cleaning the trenches outside the wooden fence look at him curiously. side.

"Not tomorrow, the sky has just cleared up, there is mud everywhere, the road is difficult to walk, neither the Shenwei Cannon nor the Thunderbolt can drag it out." Wang Huan shook his head: "The cannon is too heavy, the wheels will sink into the mud, and the cows will pull it out." If you don’t come out, if you want to pull the cannon out, you have to wait a few days at least.”

"That's okay, let's wait for the Tartars to attack." Li Tingyu waved his fist, "Dorgon will not give up. He has so many soldiers, so how can he rest if he doesn't die?"

"Indeed, there are quite a few. According to reports from spies, there are more than 5 people. Some Han troops from all over the country are still coming one after another. If you count them all, at least nearly 10 people have been mobilized." Ma Xintian said, holding his knees with both hands, majestic Sitting upright.

"Most of the Qing soldiers from the Central Plains have come." Li Dingguo said, "Dorgon really thinks highly of you."

"That's good, at least the pressure on Jiang Yu's side is much less, and Datong will not be lost." Wang Huansu Rong said: "Datong is a bait, and if this bait is still there, Dorgon is reluctant to leave Shanxi, Azig The main force of the Tartars will not go away, and it is much easier to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Tartars in Shanxi than to let them flee to Beizhili and hold a group, or rush out of Shanhaiguan to gather troops to wait for an opportunity to fight back!"

"Eat the elite of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou in Shanxi, and the Mongols and Han troops attached to the association will fall and scatter. If they eat it, the Mongols will seize the last chance to grab one, and then throw them away and return to the grassland, so as long as the main force of the Eight Banners soldiers is captured in Shanxi, the situation in the entire north will develop in a direction that is beneficial to us."

"Destroying the vitality of the Jurchens is tantamount to pulling out their roots!"

"The Jurchens are few in number, and if they die, there will be one less. They are not comparable to us Han people, and their children and grandchildren are endless! Eat the 2 people brought by Dorgun and the 2 people brought by Azig, and he will still How much is left? Five thousand or ten thousand? Apart from escaping from Shanhaiguan and returning to their hometown in Liaodong, what else can they do?"

Li Dingguo, Li Tingyu and Ma Xintian listened quietly, thinking.Wang Huan had told them about this plan a long time ago, and it was just to deepen their impression.

"If the weather is beautiful and the sun clears earlier, there won't be so many troubles." Li Tingyu sighed: "It would be nice to call in a hurry."

"Not necessarily! Although the rain is not good for our firearms, it also slows down Dorgon's rhythm. If the weather cleared earlier, the people on the grassland might not be able to keep up with blocking the Tartars' retreat." Li Dingguo said seriously : "If you can't stop it, all your previous efforts will be wasted. It will only defeat the Tartars, not eliminate them."

"As long as it is blocked, then there is nothing to worry about." Ma Xintian said: "The Mongolian horses are fast, and Dole's remnants are defeated and cannot escape."

"However, the Mongols can't be trusted. As the saying goes, those who are not from our tribe will have a different heart. We must be prepared in case the Mongols don't come."

"What preparations can we have? If they don't come, we will fight! Keep fighting, to Beizhili, to Shanhaiguan, to Shenyang!"

"But if this is the case, do you still want to go to the south? Could it be that in the whole of Ming Dynasty, we are the only ones who hunt tartars and take advantage of the group of quails in the south?"

The three of them discussed for a while, and then all their eyes fell on Wang Huan. Between the lines of his words, it seemed that the war with Dorgon had been won with certainty. The focus of the debate was actually how to defeat the main force of the Tatars. Shanxi.

This sounds like a fairy tale to others, but to the four people here, it is a matter of course.

Wang Huan was beating his knuckles on the stone beside him, squinting his eyes slightly, quietly watching a fire burning on the ground, showing a sly smile: "He will come, I will give him a big painting cake, and send him I made a gift that I couldn't refuse, and with Ben Tarhan's greedy nature, he won't miss it!"

The angle of the corner of the mouth was raised, like a cunning fox baring its teeth, which made the other three people have goose bumps all over their bodies.
