The Shunyi County Ya has been temporarily requisitioned as an operational headquarters, and in the hall, many large tables are placed side by side, and a huge sand table is placed on it.

The generals of each battalion stared at the terrain on the sand table with wide eyes, feeling incredible.

Although the sand table had already appeared when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and the earliest sand table operation appeared during the time of Emperor Guangwu, the sand table at that time was only made of rough terrain.

In the morning, a month ago, when Long Xiang did not collect reconnaissance information at night, the third and fourth outposts were active in the eastern part of the Beijing Division, detecting several areas around the Beijing Division and drawing an exquisite sand table.

Although Cao Huachun, Zhang Shize, and Wang Wannian have not been on any battlefields, they are also familiar with military books and can see the value of this sand table at a glance.

Zhu Cihong held a thin bamboo in his hand, pointed to several places in the sand table and said: "Now the army of the Tartars is mainly in the east of the Beijing Division, south to Tianjin and Weibei to Miyun, and the army of the Tartars is mainly hoarded in Miyun, Pinggu and Baodi, these three places at the same time hoarded a large amount of grain and grass and plundered the Ming people, especially Miyun and Pinggu, guarding the road through the Guanwai, so the Tartars sent heavy troops to guard!" ”

Zhu Cihong said again: "The Tartars want to transport the hundreds of thousands of people and grain and grass that have been captured outside the Guan, and the palace must not let them succeed, that is my Ming people's people and resources!" Therefore, this palace feels that if you want to destroy Miyun's Tartar first, you must first defeat the Tartar in Huairou. ”

In fact, Zhu Cihong really wanted to break through Pinggu, where there were more materials and captive people, if Pinggu was taken, it could form a powerful corner with Jizhou, and at the same time cut off the way for the Qing army to get out.

As for the road out of the Miyun line, most of them are mountain roads and too narrow and long, which is not conducive to the Qing army's large-scale carrying of the people, grain and grass out of the customs.

The tactics are good, but the reinforcements from all walks of life are now scattered and cannot cover him, and if the Yongwei battalion takes Pinggu alone, it is easy to be attacked by the two wings of the Qing army in Miyun in the north and Baodi in the south, and when the time comes, the enemy will be attacked on three sides, and the possibility of the whole army being annihilated is very high.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong can't take risks, he can only recover Miyun in the north first, and attack Miyun without worrying about the Tartar reinforcements, there are Shunyi City blocking the reinforcements of Pinggu, as for the Tartar reinforcements in Baodi, the distance is too far to be too late.

Zhang Shize said: "Your Highness, if we send troops to fight the Tartars of Huairou and Miyun, what will happen to Shunyi City?" We can't divide our troops anymore, and besides, we are not good at defending a city with an artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "The palace has issued an order for Li Chongzhen to lead his troops to arrive in Shunyi before noon tomorrow, and they will defend the city at that time." ”

Wang Wannian said: "Your Highness, Huairou and Miyun are guarded by Tartar heavy soldiers, are you sure of it?" ”

Zhu Cihong snorted coldly and said, "Grasp? There are many cavalry in the Tartars, and they are extremely mobile, and they can't catch up if they want to, and now they can't run away from them, and if they don't fight now, will they watch them transport everything outside the gate? ”

"Soldiers, fight for the country, fight for the people, afraid of losing the battle, afraid of death, then don't eat this bowl of rice as soon as possible! Don't dare to say anything else, it's more than enough for me to fight these Tartars in the Yongwei battalion! ”

Hearing him say this, although everyone was skeptical, it was not easy to say anything, Cao Huachun immediately said: "Since His Highness has made a decision, then the battalions should start to prepare!" ”

Zhu Cihong said again: "Cao Banban sent someone to send the heads of the three thousand Tartars to the Beijing division with the good news, our army is camped in the city today to repair, so that the soldiers can eat and drink well, tomorrow Li Chongzhen will be as soon as the men and horses arrive, immediately after the change of guard, go straight to Huairou!" ”

"Yes!" In the hall, they will clench their fists.

That night, a group of firefighters from the Yongwei Battalion came carrying dozens of buckets of hot supper, and the camp of the Yongwei Battalion suddenly became lively, with hot noodles, rice porridge, and bread, as well as dried meat, boiled meat, salted eggs and other dishes.

The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion ate a sumptuous meal, and everyone was very happy and comfortable.

A soldier ate two large bowls of noodles, a piece of dried meat and two salted eggs, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, touched his belly and said: "It's so fucking comfortable, the cooking skills of our battalion have grown again!" ”

There are also some soldiers who don't like to eat pasta, so they use chopsticks to stir rice porridge and eat the meat so much that they spit and spit on it, and say loudly while eating: "After a month of repairing in the capital, the fucking mold is going to get moldy, tonight I am full of food and drink, and tomorrow I will kill the tartars and earn money!" ”

"Yes, this money has made a lot of money, and now it's not accurate to spend money, and if you don't kill the Tartar to receive the reward, the mother-in-law in the family will make trouble again!" Someone chimed in.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, when you sacrifice your life for the country, your sister-in-law will be taken care of by your brother, and my brother still doesn't have a mother-in-law!" ”

"You fucking you! Dare to take advantage of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will take care of you now! ”

"Brother! Elder brother! Elder brother...... Little brother is wrong, wrong......."

“.......”

"Hahaha!" Some of the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion around immediately laughed when they heard this, and they all talked and laughed.

In the large camps of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion, which were not far from the Yongwei Battalion, some soldiers were leaned against the earthen walls of uninhabited residential houses, and they were envious when they watched the generals of the Yongwei Battalion eating and drinking.

"Fuck! It's also Jingying, why do people eat so well, what kind of thing do we eat? A noble boy threw the bowl aside and the rice in it was scattered all over the floor.

The meals eaten in the northern army of the Ming Dynasty are basically water rice, that is, the rice is boiled back and forth in the water, and finally it becomes dry rice to carry, and when eating, take hot water to soak it and eat it directly.

Don't think it's tasteful? There are hard salt cubes and dried vinegar that can be dipped and eaten.......

The general of a divine camp said: "It's useless to be envious, whoever called someone the crown prince made such a great contribution on the day of the expedition, we didn't even catch up with the soup!" ”

Zhang Shize happened to pass by when he inspected the barracks, and when he heard their complaints, he immediately said angrily: "Useless things!" If you can't even walk well, you know how to complain, and if you have the ability, you can also show your face in a beautiful battle! ”

was scolded by Zhang Shize, and suddenly no one dared to squeak, who would dare to offend Zhang Xiaogong? His father is the prince of the country, and he is currently the leader of the Beijing camp, and he will inherit the British dukedom in the future.

Looking at the sergeants of the Shenshu Battalion who were honestly squatting there to eat, Zhang Shize snorted coldly and left with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Shize is also entangled in his heart, it is not okay to go on like this, if he comes out, he has to mix up military merits or something, otherwise it will be difficult to bring the team in the future, and he will not be able to explain to his father.
