The wind and snow are Xiao Xiao, tens of thousands of horses and horses outside the city of Ningyuan Army are drilling, the momentum is huge, the ground shakes the mountains, the roar pierces the clouds and goes straight into the nine heavens, Wu Sangui rode the horse in the formation, waved the flag and ordered the whole army.

A hundred meters away from the formation, the Gongzi battalion lined up, watching silently, without saying a word.

Chang Yu's expression was solemn, sometimes he stopped and watched, sometimes he beat the horse and went around the formation to watch, and sometimes he pointed and whispered to a few henchmen on the side.

"It's hard to imagine how such a strong military horse could be defeated by the Qing army, if so, how fierce the Qing army must be" Hu Ling muttered in a low voice.

Chang Yu sneered: "Whether a team of men and horses can fight or not is only one of them, and there are many reasons for the victory or defeat of the soldiers, the command of the general, the command of the general, the command of the general, the tactical coordination, the accuracy of intelligence, the logistics support, etc., if one of them is improper, it will cause the consequences of failure."

As if he was afraid that this fear of the Qing army would be contagious, Chang Yu pretended to smile lightly: "The Qing army can't even defeat the thief army, but you are Li Zicheng who beat Li Zicheng and fled in embarrassment, so ...... Hey, hey".

When did the thief army fight the Qing army, a few henchmen frowned, but maybe they didn't know if they had beaten it, anyway, the Lord Overseer said yes.

"It is said that the border army is good at fighting, more than ten years ago, it was indeed worthy of the name, pulling out and cutting thieves is definitely a top two, but now it has become an empty shelf, but I don't know it, so I am beaten by the Qing army every time. Just now I was not beaten by you like a lost dog," the little eunuch continued to build confidence in his subordinates.

"Therefore, they can't beat the Qing army, it doesn't mean that you can't do it, you are all the palace battalion that has exploded Li thief chrysanthemum, to put it arrogantly but pertinently, our palace battalion is the first army of the Ming Dynasty, and those people ......" Chang Yu has been practicing the border army: "It's a little better than embroidered pillows."

"So let's win this time and defeat the Qing army," Li Tiezhu looked relaxed.

The little eunuch shook his head and nodded, the key to victory or defeat depends on how he and Wu Sangui cooperate, to what extent, and whether they can cooperate as well as Zhou Yuji.

You must know that Zhou Yuji is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, loyal and square, and his life is very different from Wu Sangui, who is like a grass on the wall at this time.

"If Wu Sangui can straighten his waist, we will have a lot of winning chances, if he is still shaking, hehe, I'm afraid that the beautiful lady in his family will be cheaper than others" Chang Yu sneered.

As soon as women are mentioned, the henchmen smile maliciously, Chen Yuanyuan of Wu Sangui's family is famous all over the world, they naturally know that even if they are all eunuchs, but men......

"After hearing this, Mr. Wu is going to find the Overseer again!"

Wu Sangui is not such a stingy person.

Because he is very angry, and he is very angry.

When night fell, Ning Yuanjun returned to the city after the drill, and the palace camp of the people who ate melons also went back to the military camp to rest, Wu Sangui went back to the general army to wash up, sat alone in a daze, and before long, he suddenly carried a knife to the courtyard and danced.

He's angry, he's hateful, he's ashamed!

The dignified general, the famous commander of the border army, was put down by a small eunuch in one move, and in front of everyone's eyes, where was his face!

The little eunuch's martial arts skills are amazing, not invincible in a short period of time, if Xue Xue is ashamed, he can only be sure to suppress him in that gambling contract, if he wins the gambling contract, he will not only find face, but also gain fame and fortune!

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui suddenly stopped, dressed in a rough manner with a single knife, and finally realized that it turned out that even I had calculated his agitation method, and this little eunuch's scheming was really not ordinarily deep!

Under normal circumstances, how can the guest not save face for the host's family, and in front of everyone, he will put down this kind of thing with one move, but anyone who understands a little human sophistication can't do it.

"General, the little eunuch in Dongchang asks to see" At this time, the family came to report.

Wu Sangui exhaled a long breath, rubbed his stiff face, and smiled: "Go and please."

As soon as the two met, the little eunuch observed the drills of Ning Yuanjun's drill and was shocked by its strong momentum, and the strength of the border army was really worthy of its name, and so on.

Wu Sangui was humble again and again, but he couldn't hide his pride, he should feel that although he didn't get back a game, his face looked much better, of course, he also knew that the little eunuch came to him not only to pat him.

For example, Wu Sangui is most anxious about when the salary will be paid, and Chang Yu's 50,000 taels of silver are small but can solve the urgent need, especially on the eve of the war, Bai Huahua's cash is more inspiring than any promise.

There is a particular point in when to pay the silver, such as when the Qing army is in the city! The little eunuch said, "Good steel is used on the blade, and silver is spent on the bones."

So the question is, a part of the salary can only give the soldiers a refreshment, as for encouraging them to kill the enemy as if they were going home, it is unrealistic to follow the promise, you don't have any money to pay the salary, so who believes in the promise, risking his life to kill the enemy for a promise that has no basis for words?

This is indeed a headache, Chang Yu was also embarrassed for a while, where to get the money, he pondered for a few days and had no clue, so he had to delay it for the time being, maybe there would be a flash of inspiration!

In addition, Wu Sangui also has a headache, how to place reinforcements.

Under the city of Ningyuan, the 20,000 military horses of the Wu Department in the city have filled the military camp, and it is still reluctant to accept hundreds of palace character camps, but Tang Tong's 8,000 men and horses can not live in it, and they are afraid that they will have to requisition civilian houses or camp in the open air, and then there are 3,000 cavalry from Shanhaiguan, 5,000 men and horses from the firearms battalion, and more than 10,000 Li Yan who came all the way to be cannon fodder.

What's even more tricky is that in addition to the placement of people and horses, there is also the supply of grain and grass, so many people and military horses eat and drink, isn't it a small amount, and where to store it is also a big headache.

Chang Yu also has a headache!

Obviously, the difficulties he is facing now are far from being comparable to those in Taiyuan, although when he went to Taiyuan, there were no soldiers, no food and no silver, but along the way, he even coaxed and deceived and robbed, and he had enough food and wages for people and horses, and behind the high walls of Taiyuan City, it was not a problem to accommodate more than 100,000 people and horses at all.

But at the moment, Ningyuan, a lonely city outside the Guan, has no one to do, but all parties have finally made it together but have no place to live, they want money but no money, they want to cheat, they want to rob, they want to steal, but they have no place to do this business, so I ask you if you are hard to force it, and if you are on fire.

The military salary is difficult to break for a while, and it is not an urgent matter to be put on hold for the time being, grain and grass is a top priority, the top priority, must be solved immediately, but Chang Yu is actually prepared for this, after the 12th Taibao won the big project of purchasing military food, he is buying grain and grass to supply the north and south lines, of which nearly 10,000 stones have been transported here, plus Ning Yuan already has a hoard for 20 days, if you can quickly cut through the mess, give the Qing army a lightning blow, and defeat it with a heavy fist to withdraw the army, then the grain and grass are worry-free, but if you fight a protracted war, the pressure is unusually heavy, If the supply is not timely, those who kill people and eat meat may not be able to see it with their own eyes.

As for the placement of people and horses, after the two discussed for a while, they decided to change their tactics!

Since it is according to Yuan Chonghuan's internal and external cooperation, a military horse must be tied outside the city anyway, so simply tie more, and maybe divide the troops in many places to relieve the pressure in the city. (Yuan Chonghuan was at that time in harmony inside and outside, and Zu Dashou's department was not stationed outside the city, but went out of the city to fight a decisive battle during the war and cooperated with the city to shell the rear of the Qing army)

Chang Yu told Wu Sangui that he had inadvertently found a natural cave in the mountains, which could accommodate thousands of men and horses, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was a way to retreat, so he could lead his troops to hide in the mountains and attack the enemy at the right time, even if he was discovered by the Qing army, the Qing army might not take advantage of the terrain.

Wu Sangui was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, he had been stationed in Ningyuan for several years and didn't know that there was such a big hole in the mountain, in fact, it was incredible, this little eunuch had just arrived, and he easily found out when he went into the mountain to catch rabbits, is this the will of heaven.

But when I think about it, I think it's just like that, the entrance of the cave is hidden, the mountain forest is dense and leafy in summer, and it is not easy to find, and in the deep mountains, the mountain people rarely go, and the heavy snow covers the mountains in winter, and no one has stepped in, and even if there are mountain people who know that there is a hole, how can this kind of thing reach his ears.

But only a few thousand soldiers can be hidden, which is far from enough, how to place the remaining troops?
