Chapter 40 Want to run?

Zhou Shixiong was not interested in how these three generals distributed their contributions. He is very busy now. It takes time to treat the wounded and bask in the sun. In order to increase the defense of Xianghe City, it also takes time to guide the craftsmen summoned by the county magistrate to create a bed crossbow. Fortunately, the manufacturing of a bed crossbow can be carried out outdoors, which has little impact on his energy absorption.

That night, Man Gui and others, who had taken a big advantage, took the initiative to come to the yamen to ask for a meeting, hoping that Zhou Shixiong could give some advice on the sneak attack tactics tonight.

"Since several generals are willing to fight, I will certainly not stop him." Zhou Shixiong was very happy about the three generals' enthusiasm for fight. He had the chance to win if he dared to fight. He didn't even have the idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack. These people could not save their lives. "But I said that in the front, orders are the minimum requirement. The only fate of deserters is death. If more than 20% of your soldiers appear, be careful of your head."

Zhou Shixiong suddenly poured cold water. Not only did Man Gui and others feel a little confused, but Fang Zhenghua also didn't understand why he was like this. Fortunately, Zhou Shixiong's majesty had been established, and the four of them dared not question Zhou Shixiong's orders. At the same time, they stood up and bowed, "Abide by the orders of lords."

Seeing that several subordinates were very cooperative, Zhou Shixiong smiled a little, "Everyone, don't blame me for disturbing everyone's interest. You should know that the Jiannu army outside the city is only part of the Jiannu's journey south. The main force is still near Tongzhou. Even if you are lucky enough to defeat this Jiannu, it will have little impact on the overall situation. Therefore, I hope that you will not be at ease with a small wealth and should take a long-term view."

A young man in his twenties taught a lesson for a few thirty-forty-year-old generals. The scene was very dissonant no matter how you look at it. Zhou Shixiong himself felt awkward, and pretended to be serious and immediately changed the topic, "Since Jiannu doesn't dare to divide his troops, we will change the way of playing tonight's sneak attack. Jiannu sets the camp by the Xiang River. If we lay down from the upstream, the river bank closest to the enemy camp is only less than a hundred steps. Let's set a fire from here, then quickly carry it to the other side, and then return from the upstream, do you think it's OK?"

"Okay, it's so good. Lord Zhou, I must let me go this time." Heiyunlong always wanted to show his performance in front of Zhou Shixiong. Yesterday's night attack could only be considered a bargain. Today's daytime battle seemed thrilling, but in fact it was always taking advantage of it. The energetic Ming army fought against Jiannu who had not slept all night, and the combat effectiveness was leveled. There was also the advantage of the city wall crossbow. If the Ming army lost like this, Zhou Shixiong would definitely escape immediately and let the Ming Dynasty eat shit.

"General Man has been tired for a day and will take a rest tonight. The drum beating task at the top of the city at night is handed over to Sun Zhaolian. General Hei and Xiao Fang carry out the night attack mission tonight. Do you have any problems?" Man Gui wanted to say a few words, but Zhou Shixiong did not give him a chance and directly issued an order. Asking for everyone's opinions is just polite. After all, in a strict sense, everyone has no unity. Zhou Shixiong just took the right to come first and contact the imperial envoy.

As soon as the sky was dark, two teams of 100 people left the city under the guidance of the guide. This time, even Zhou Shixiong could not control it. The distance was too far, and even if Zhou Shixiong saw nothing, he could not notify them. In the second day, the war drums on the top of the city sounded again. Manguertai, who had been prepared, handed over the patrol mission to Dorgon and Duoduo, stuffed his ears with cotton cloth, and slept comfortably.

It was not that Mangourtai was cruel or idiot, he had to do this. After a day of hard work, his soldiers could not even stand. If they didn't rest well, they wouldn't even be able to pull the bow and shoot archery. Mangourtai did this very risky, so he handed over the task of protecting the camp to Dorgon. He knew that Dorgon understood what he meant and would not lose his chains in this situation because of personal grudges.

Dorgon was indeed smart. In order to allow the same tired soldiers of the banner to rest, he divided more than 1,600 subordinates into three teams, one patrol and two teams to rest. As long as the Ming army did not attack the vicinity of the camp, he would pretend that he had not seen it. Heiyunlong and Fang Zhenghua used wooden rafts to sneak to the east of the camp, and found that only a few sentries were exploring the patrol and found a surprise. Jiannu's horse circle was set by the river. If these war horses were burned to death, Jiannu would wait for the entire army to be wiped out!

Heiyunlong's suggestion was agreed by most people, but only the five Zhou Shixiong's personal soldiers opposed it. Huang Qiankun advised Fang Zhenghua and Heiyunlong, "Two sirs, this horse circle faces water and connects the camp. If the fire is set, the horses will definitely go into the water to escape, and Jiannu will also come to rescue quickly. The time is so short that few horses are burned. Besides, the order of the adult is to wipe out the enemy. If Jiannu is scared away now, it will be unsatisfactory to destroy the adult's plan."

Huang Qiankun just took it for granted. Zhou Shixiong had never thought about annihilated the enemy. He just had to delay time and make up for the robot's energy as soon as possible. This was a cute misunderstanding. Huang Qiankun thought Zhou Shixiong too high.

Huang Qiankun's words were supported by Yu Jiaao, Lu Hong and Li Xiaobin. Peng Wuyi was not interested in these things. He only knew that setting fires was fun. It was not satisfying to throw small fire cups last night. Today he specially found someone to make several large baskets, which could hold twenty small fire cups at a time. Peng Wuyi was preparing to throw one basket at a time, which would be very good.

Although Fang Zhenghua is the military supervisor and the acting leader of the special operations team, he must consider the ideas of these personal soldiers. Because these people are Zhou Shixiong's direct descendants, he and Zhou Shixiong can only be considered close to colleagues. Fang Zhenghua nodded quickly to support Huang Qiankun's opinion, and Hei Yunlong immediately changed his words and urged his subordinates to set up ashore and prepare to set fire.

Last night, Li Xiaobin killed more than 20 Jiannu in Dafali City alone. Yu Jiaao did not take action with the idea of ​​letting his companions, so he can't be polite tonight. In the shooting competition between two sharpshooters, more than 20 Jiannu lost his precious lives. Since the death toll was odd, who had better results in a war of words. Alas, the hateful Jiannu, even if he died, he would provoke internal disputes between the Ming Dynasty nation!

Peng Wuyi didn't care about that much, so he asked the person in charge of ignition to help him ignite the small fire pot in the basket, and then grabbed the basket's handle with one hand and began to circle in the same place. I wonder what this guy learned after following and threw the basket out with a clang. With a bang, the tiny oil loaded in the small fire can spread out, forming a fire circle several meters. The worst thing is that the tent in the fire circle is from Mangourtai.

Peng Wuyi's big fireball attacked, and the others were not idle either. Half of them threw the fire cup, one-third were responsible for lighting the fire, and the remaining one-third were responsible for alert. The anticipated counterattack did not come for a long time until everyone's cupping was thrown, and the big fire almost covered the eastern part of the camp. Jiannu did not organize even a counterattack. After setting the fire, the two teams quickly took the wooden raft across the other side, and then pulled the wooden raft upstream across the river and returned to the west bank, completing the sneak attack mission without any danger.

The reason why they were so relaxed was Peng Wuyi, or the contribution made by Peng Wuyi and Huang Taiji. The big fireball thrown by Peng Wuyi ignited Mangurtai's tent. Of course, the Goshha of Mangurtai had to fight for rescue and also called for rescue loudly. Soon, the Hou Jin soldiers who were awakened by the fire or woken up by others rushed over and rushed into the tent to rescue the flag owner without hesitation.

By the time they rescued Mangurtai, the fire had already lost control. When Dorgon brought people to put out the fire, the sneak attack team had already left. Why did Peng Wuyi and Huang Taiji work together to commit the crime? As mentioned earlier, the Eight Banners military rules clearly stipulate that the general was dead and the entire army was buried with him. The soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty who did not want to be buried with him must first determine the life and death of the general, and then consider the next action. Only brothers of the general like Dorgon and Duoduo are not afraid of being forced to be buried with him, otherwise Dorgon would not have the leisure to put out the fire!

The fire that caused huge losses was a tragedy for Mangourtai. More than 3,000 people had tents, and more than 2,000 people relied on the fire to keep warm in the cold night wind. Mangourtai could foresee what would happen tomorrow. Thinking of this, he had the intention to retreat. He asked someone to come to Dorgon, and the brothers of Death Guard discussed it and decided to withdraw early tomorrow morning, and this ghost place could not be stayed.

There was only one real sneak attack that night, but no one of the Later Jin troops favored by the God of Fire dared to sleep. They did not want to wake up in the flames and then take their lives away by the flames. This statement is too literary. The truth is that more than 200 burned Later Jin troops sang Alilujah all night, shocking high and low notes reminded the Later Jin troops to set fire carefully when they were dry and dry. It was setting fire, and there was no wrong word.

Zhou Shixiong stayed on the city gate tower all night. He planned to go back to take a break at dawn, but found that Jiannu had signs of leaving. He quickly called the Third General and Fang Zhenghua. "Sir, what do you think of these Jiannu?"

Man Gui, Heiyunlong, Sun Zushou and Fang Zhenghua were happy together, "Sir, Jiannu is afraid and wants to run away!"

"You can't just let them run away like that. Are you right?" Zhou Shixiong was happy. He didn't expect that he could scare Jiannu away. It seems that I'm not a military idiot!

"My lord is right. Now the official will gather troops and ensure that he will be killed." Hei Yunlong was happy. It must have scared away these Jiannu from last night's sneak attack, and he finally made great contributions.

"Don't worry, General Black. Let's take a look at how to fight to get a advantage." Zhou Shixiong did not expect that the Black Cloud Dragon, who was afraid of the field fighting the day before yesterday, was so brave. He silently thought that the arrogant soldiers would be defeated, and quickly stopped the Black Cloud Dragon.

"What do you mean by sir?" Man Gui was a little used to Zhou Shixiong's idea and asked casually.

"I think so. If the cavalry cannot exert its mobility and combat effectiveness, it will definitely decline. Sun Zhaolian, you will take a thousand infantry to the north of the enemy camp to set up a formation and block the road with wooden stakes and stones. Remember to bring a large shield to block the arrows. I don't want to heal too many people." Zhou Shixiong was the first to send infantry out, and Sun Zushou took the order with a red face. He seemed to have forgotten that the Jiannu outside had chased them and fought, but now he is going to the field!
