Chapter 39 A tug-of-war or a rubbish war

"Congratulations to all of you for your victory." Zhou Shixiong welcomed four commanders in the main hall of the yamen. Man Gui Heiyunlong and Sun Zushou were completely convinced by Zhou Shixiong. It was amazing that he could turn the most ordinary sneak attack into a magical and achieve such an amazing effect.

After returning to the city, Man Gui learned from Zuo Liangyu that the first person to discover the Jiannu ambush was Zhou Shixiong. At that time, others were watching the battle at the city gate tower, and Zuo Liangyu was also with him. Zuo Liangyu did not find anything, but he clearly pointed out the location of the Jiannu ambush. This extraordinary fact put Zhou Shixiong on the halo of a charlatan.

"It all depends on the master's clever tricks. The servant just went out for a walk and did not dare to take credit." Fang Zhenghua was a little breathless. He wanted to show his invincible sword technique, but except for throwing two turbulent bombs and setting fire, he had no chance to kill the enemy in close proximity.

"Sir, let Lao Hei take the lead in the camp later. I just burned the camp to empty it. He had no intention of burning it out." Heiyunlong was also very dissatisfied. Duoduo transferred most of the soldiers to rescue Dorgon. The remaining Niulu was enough to chew on two special combat teams. In addition, the fire was cheering, Heiyunlong and Sun Zushou put down the southern camp without much effort.

"Just just now, I saw that Jiannu joined forces with the army. The next plan needs to be considered again. If you use the old plan, you may suffer a loss." After all, Zhou Shixiong was not a professional military advisor, and the tactics he came up with were still very monotonous and incomplete. The funny thing is that the reason why Jiannu joined forces with the army was that the sneak attack was too good, which completely destroyed the two camps of Jiannu, forcing Jiannu to join forces.

It was indeed a bit of a risky thing for four hundred people to sneak attack 4,000 people. Manguertai was not Xinneng on the battlefield, so he could not suffer the same loss. Mangui and others nodded one after another, agreeing with Zhou Shixiong's judgment. Only the Black Cloud Dragon was silent, "That's it?"

"Of course not. The ultimate goal of our opportunity is to let the enemy leader get rest. How can we just set a few fires like this!" Zhou Shixiong smiled silly, and several generals were trembling in a cold war.

"There is no need to be so many people to harass you next. Sun Zhaolian will take the soldiers back to rest." Let Sun Zushou arrange the soldiers in the combat squad first, and Zhou Shixiong revealed his next plan. "This plan is planned to take two steps. First, beat the drum every half hour and give this task to General Man. The real sneak attack mission will be handed over to Xiao Fang and my personal soldiers."

Man Gui and Hei Yunlong immediately stopped working, "It's a bit unfair to be kind to my personal relationship." "Sir, what's my mission!"

"Don't be impatient, the two generals are willing to use rockets this time. The only ones in the army have long ranges of bows and arrows, so it's useless to send more people. In addition, the Black Cloud Leopard's 100-man team is enough to protect them." Zhou Shixiong was trying to strike a long-range attack. Man Gui and Heiyunlong were really unable to help, so they had to accept Zhou Shixiong's arrangement, one was responsible for harassing the other was responsible for rest.

The Ming army beat drums twice at the top of the city, forced Mangguertai to get up twice, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone stealing the camp. Mangguertai knew that this was a tired plan, but he really didn't dare to neglect it. Dorgon and Dodo, who were surrounded by a fire in the middle of the camp, were reminding him.

Zhou Shixiong stood on the east gate tower to observe the enemy camp, and explained the route of Fang Zhenghua's attack and return to the city. "Xiao Fang, this time he went out mainly to let Jiannu know that we are not only good at playing drums and scaring people, but will come to the real world. Also, before returning to the city, look at the lanterns at the top of the city. One lantern represents the east gate and two lanterns represent the south gate, and so on. Return to the city gate according to the lantern instructions."

"The officer understands." Fang Zhenghua led the special combat team of the army to the city and sneaked until six hundred steps away from the enemy camp before stopping. Seeing that Fang Zhenghua had already arrived, Zhou Shixiong nodded to Zuo Liangyu, "Get up!"

Hearing the drums on the top of the city, Yu Jiaao, Lu Hong, Huang Qiankun, and Peng Wuyi raised their iron-tied bows and "ignite the fire." Fang Zhenghua loudly ordered that the four cavalry under the Black Cloud Leopard lit the turbulent cloth wrapped in the bow and arrow with fire sniffles, and the four began to attack the rocket.

The four people were really ineffective in conducting fire attacks. Even if the tent was lit, they were quickly put out. It cannot be said that they were useless. At least they completely angered Jiannu, which was considered a result. Duoduo led his subordinates to rush out of the camp and wanted to give these despicable Ming people some good taste.

With Li Xiaobin, a senior citizen, who was not in charge at night, Duoduo's troops were discovered by Li Xiaobin as soon as they left the camp. After returning to Fang Zhenghua, Fang Zhenghua ordered a retreat. Duoduo chased the city and did not touch the butt of the special operations team.

One night, under the command of Zhou Shixiong, a high-level reconnaissance satellite, the special combat squad of the army was dispatched three times, which made Mangourtai sleepless. Mangourtai tried many ways but could not solve the embarrassment in front of him. He sent people to ambush between Dongcheng and the camp, and the Ming army came from the south in a remote place. If he went out to pursue the camp, the Ming army would run away. He ignored the Ming army's words, but they were harassed with rockets.

For camps that were prepared for a long time, what could four fireballs be of use each time? At most, it would be disgusting. But the Ming army was happy, and the generals such as Mangurtai had to sit with the other party and wait for dawn.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the generals of the Later Jin Dynasty, who were full of anger, asked to fight and wanted to take down Xianghe City in one go. Only Manguertai and Dorgon opposed it. "The soldiers were exhausted and unable to fight. Do you want to use the elites of the Eight Banners to die?" The generals were severely scolded by Manguertai. Then they looked at their subordinates' bloodshot eyes, and the generals stopped talking.

The Later Jin Dynasty planned to make a quit for one day to regain energy. Zhou Shixiong was very happy and summoned the three generals to order, "Leave a special combat team, and you will take the entire army out to form a formation. If Jiannu leaves the camp, you will retreat. If Jiannu doesn't leave the camp, you will be called outside."

The third generals are all veterans on the battlefield and have never heard of this kind of fighting style. "Sir, if Jiannu leaves the camp, we will retreat, will it affect our morale?"

Zhou Shixiong smiled, "The purpose we want is to make Jiannu exhausted, and not consider morale for the time being. The only thing you need to pay attention to is discipline. Whether you are leaving the city or retreating back to the city, you must be in an orderly manner. If someone disrupts the order, I will only ask you!" After explaining the general direction, Zhou Shixiong ignored the details. He was also busy basking in the sun to replenish energy, and at the same time to restore his spirit.

On October 20, the second year of Chongzhen, Mangguertai and other Later Jin generals finally realized what it means to be as timid as a mouse. The coalition formed by the Datong Army and Changping volunteers formed a formation outside the East City Gate and called out to Jiannu. Although Mangguertai did not want to go out to fight, in order to maintain the morale of the army, he had to order to meet the enemy. However, the Later Jin Army had just formed a war formation when it left the camp, and the Ming army actually began to retreat. Duoduo led his cavalry to try to pursue, but was intercepted by crossbows at the city, losing more than a hundred cavalry. He watched the gate of Xianghe City slowly close.

Originally, Mangguertai didn't want to attack the city, but when he saw the Ming army was very prepared, he had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. But less than half an hour after the Later King Kong returned to the camp, the east gate of Xianghe City opened again, and the Ming army came out to set up a formation again. Mangguertai understood that this was the most vicious plan of exhausted soldiers. Not only did he not allow him to sleep at night, but he did not allow him to sleep during the day. It was so hateful! Since he understood the Ming army's plan, Mangguertai would certainly not fall into the trap. He ordered Dorgon and Duoduo to lead his subordinates to camp to restrain the Ming army and the others to sleep.

Two thousand vs. Three thousand Later Jin, but they didn't care about the difference in numbers. They took the initiative to attack the Ming army, trying to reappear the common ones with fewer ones. Mangui and Heiyunlong led cavalry out of the city, and Sun Zushou was guarding the city. The three of them knew that they had to fight with each other, but there was a lot of excuses about how to fight. After absorbing the tactical ideas of the sneak attack last night, Mangui and Heiyunlong each led two thousand cavalry to be placed around the East City Gate. No matter which side Duoduo attacked, they would be raided by another cavalry.

Dorgon and Duoduo brothers had only 1,600 soldiers under their command. They could not learn from the Ming army to divide the troops. After tentatively tentatively, they had to ask Manguertai to increase their troops. Although the combat power of the Datong soldiers could not be one-on-one, two-on-one was still very sure. Since the enemy was weakened to this level, Man Gui and Heiyunlong didn't mind getting more military achievements.

When the Ming army approached the camp, Mangguertai had to go out again, and the Ming army cooperated very well and returned to the city to set up a formation. The two sides were staring blankly across several miles. When the Mangguertai tried to withdraw the troops, the Ming army would approach, and there were few people coming out to meet the enemy, so the Ming army would fight. If the entire army pressed over, the Ming army would naturally return to the city smoothly.

After one day, more than 30 people died in the Ming army, all of whom were directly cut off their heads and cracked abdomen on the battlefield and could not be treated. The other wounded soldiers were severed and handed over to Zhou Shixiong for treatment, and the minor injuries were the responsibility of the personal soldiers. In order to minimize energy consumption, Zhou Shixiong began to use surgery as the main method. The advantage of this is that the robot only needs to be responsible for cleaning bacteria and preventing infection, and no matter how many wounded soldiers there are, they will not exhaust energy. There are benefits and disadvantages. The healing of wounds takes time, and the situation of combat reduction cannot be avoided.

Thirty people died in one day's battle, Man Gui and Heiyunlong. Sun Zushou did not believe this data, so he personally took the roster to the military camp to name the name. Finally, it was confirmed that everyone was there, including the thirty dead.

"Mr. Sun, how many heads did you pick up from Jiannu?" Man Gui and Hei Yunlong were responsible for restraining Jiannu. Of course, Sun Zushou was responsible for cleaning the battlefield. He took the two of them to a room that specializes in storing corpses. "The two hundred and twenty-one heads were picked up under the city, and those who were too far away did not dare to go over and get them."

"Thirty vs. 221, seven times? How is it possible!" The two of them had been dealing with Jiannu for more than ten years, and cutting their heads was common for them. Man Gui, the general, earned back by cutting his heads, and the proportion of damage to the battle was the clearest.

"The two generals have no time to observe the enemy at the city. The last general can see clearly on the city. Every time Jiannu approaches the city and fights with the two adults, he must first pass the crossbow on the city, so the loss ratio is large." Sun Zushou did not want to compete for merit, but he had to get it, otherwise how could he explain it to his subordinates? Therefore, he pointed out that this was the result of the three people's joint efforts.
