Chapter Two Thousand Two Hundred and One The First Encounter

These words fell in Alimer's ears, and he couldn't say anything harsh, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this? ”

Hongshi bowed his head to Geldan and said, "King Qiyu Khan, I also sent people to spy on the army led by Yongzheng, and found that they sent a team of several hundred people to our place, which should be available in dark." Yongzheng may not have arrived here yet, but his confrontation with us has already begun. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Geldan stared at Ali Mo with a shocked expression and said, "How did you send a spy to leak such important military information?" ”

Ali Mo glared at Hongshi resentfully, got up and said, "My subordinates are guilty, but it's just a team of a few hundred people, and it is impossible for us to lose our troops at all, or someone will exaggerate it." ”

Hongshi sneered: "It seems that the general really doesn't know Yongzheng, this person is cunning, if he despises him before the war, then forgive me for saying something unpleasant, this battle will not be fought." ”

"How can it be!" Ali Mo trembled with anger, and arched his hand towards Geldan and said, "King Khan, please allow your subordinates to lead their troops to the place where the Qing army is stationed, and your subordinates will definitely wipe out all of them within one day." ”

Before Geldan could speak, Hongshi had already said idly: "I'm afraid that the person who will be swept away by that time is you, the general, because you don't know what kind of person Yongzheng is at all." Your capture is small, and it is a big deal to ruin the Khan's plan to unify the Central Plains. ”

"Presumptuous!" Alimo has never been so insulted in his life, and he was so angry that he grabbed the handle of the knife and was about to pull out the knife, but Geldan flashed his eyes, pressed his hand and said: "Okay, the battle hasn't been fought yet, but I started infighting first, what's the matter, let go." ”

Alimo didn't dare to disobey Geldan's words, and slowly let go of the handle of the knife, but his eyes were still staring at Hiroshi, if his eyes could kill, Hiroshi didn't know how many times he had died at this moment.

After sitting down again, Geerdan said: "In terms of understanding Yongzheng, naturally it belongs to you, then you can tell me, what Yongzheng sent these hundreds of people to do, Yongzheng is not a fool, he should know that these hundreds of people can't deal with the king's army at all." ”

"Yongzheng is naturally not a fool, on the contrary, he is also very cunning." Hongshi raised his eyes and said: "A few hundred people are naturally inconspicuous on the battlefield, but they may not be useless, such as ...... Burn the grain and grass, so that he can turn the passive into the active and take the lead. ”

Geldan frowned and said, "You mean he sent these people here to destroy the grain and grass?" ”

Alimo sneered on the side: "This is impossible, the grain and grass are heavily guarded, and they rotate day and night, and it is simply a fool's dream to burn the grain and grass with these hundreds of people." ”

"This is just a guess on my part, whether it's true or not, I can't say for sure, but I know one thing, Yongzheng has his purpose in doing anything, don't take it lightly, otherwise it will be a disaster." Although the generals did not agree with Hiroshi's words, Gerdan still handed over the matter to Hiroshi, and he was stationed at the station.

Night is always the best disguise, but this night is unusually quiet, Hongshi, who has not slept all night, did not wait for the imaginary sneak attack, and the hundreds of people sent by Yinzhen did not appear. When the day dawned, the snow that had been falling for a day and two nights finally stopped, leaving a full three inches of snow behind.

Strange, why didn't those hundreds of people show up, could it be that he was wrong? It's impossible, if it doesn't take hundreds of people to spy on the military, it's even more impossible to fight, the only possibility is to attack and burn the grain and grass.

Just when he was puzzled, Alimer, who had been against Hongshi, brought someone over and said ill-intentionedly: "What, someone came to attack and burn our grain and grass last night?" ”

Hiroshi ignored him and wanted to leave, but Alimo's people blocked his way with bad intentions, and Hiroshi frowned, "What do you want to do?" ”

Ali Mopi said with a smile: "It's not good, didn't you swear yesterday that Yongzheng would send someone to attack the grain and grass, and General Ben just wanted to ask what the result was?" ”

Hongshi said coldly: "It's only been one night, and it's too early to say that the result is too early." ”

"Do you mean to wait five nights or ten nights? At that time, the 200,000 troops sent by the Qing Dynasty to Tsarist Russia should arrive. It is not at all wrong to say that you have bad intentions, and I warn you that if you dare to do anything unfavorable to the king of the Khan, I will screw off your head! ”

Hearing this, Hongshi actually laughed and said, "I'm afraid the general won't have this opportunity." And if you think that I have bad intentions, you can go and tell the king of Khan, why waste your tongue here? ”

"We'll see." Throwing down these words, Alimo strode away, while Hongshi walked slowly around the makeshift warehouse where grain and grass were hoarded, thinking about what Yinzhen's real purpose was for letting those hundreds of people come here.

Soon, it was dark again, and Geldan also summoned Hongshi to the camp and told him that he would only wait here for another night, and if there was no news after one night, he would leave the Salic River and march at full speed, and he must destroy the 100,000 army led by Yinzhen before the 200,000 army returned, and then enter the capital.

Hiroshi did not persuade him, because he knew that Geldan's patience had come to an end, and any more persuasion would only make Geldan doubt himself, which would be disadvantageous.

Although it was peaceful last night, Hongshi still put the soldiers in charge of guarding the granary on guard to prevent someone from sneaking up.

It was at this time that hundreds of figures appeared on the frozen Sarik River in the middle of the night. The movements of these men were ghostly, fast and silent, and if anyone looked closer, they would find that they were strapped to their feet with skates made of planks and blades.

After a few moments, they approached the place where the Dzungar garrison was, and after a few gesturing to each other, a dozen of them continued to slide forward, while the rest stayed where they were.

After the dozen or so slippered and disappeared, hundreds of the remaining men raised their weapons and aimed them at the Dzungar soldiers on the shore, not knives or arrows, but powerful muskets.

"Put!" As the leader uttered the word, the sound of huge muskets echoed over the Salic River, shocking everyone who heard it.

"It's coming!" Hongshi was the first to react, immediately got up and rushed out, just a few steps away, he saw the corpse that fell to the ground and the panicked soldiers, he quickly grabbed one and said, "Where is the enemy?" ”

The soldier barely held his nerve and pointed to the dark Sarik River: "There, where the muskets were fired." But isn't that a river? How could there be people there, could it be that they were shot from the other side? ”
