Dismount and enter the valley, the mountain road is difficult to walk, fortunately, the sky is not yet completely dark and the snow is reflective, and all the staff are silent and shallow and go straight along the valley to the north.

This wild valley is really wild enough, generally there are villages and people even in the deep mountains, but there is no trace of people in this valley, there is not a single wild man, not even birds and beasts have seen one, the group bowed their heads and hummed and marched, the atmosphere was a little depressing, but it was quite easy to follow the marching footprints of Jia Waixiong and others.

Jia Waixiong has set up a lot of secret posts in the valley, and every time he goes to a place, there are secret whistles to show the way, so that Chang Yu's men and horses will not get lost because it is dark.

After walking for more than an hour, the sky was dark, and Chang Yu finally touched the ground and joined Jia Waixiong's people.

Foolish people have stupid blessings, Jia Waixiong actually found a natural sheltered camp in the valley, this col is directly recessed into the mountain, although it is not a hole and can not cover the rain and snow, but it can shelter from the wind, nearly 4,000 people nest in this col.

In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts and not making fireworks, the eunuch army cut the hay and lay the nest, and some simply built some grass huts on the spot to huddle together for warmth, only the raw melons and eggs of the infantry battalion, with a blank face, they did not have any wilderness survival skills at all, although they also slept in the open when they went north out of Beijing, there were tents, campfires and hot porridge.

Of course, not all the infantry battalions were stunned, and the people with the spirit thought of a better way, and after Jia Waixiong's approval, they dug a hole in the mountain and made a fire, so that the fire did not leak, and there was no smoke in the dark night.

The grass hut built in a few boulders is the temporary command post, and a pit was dug in the shed to make a fire to keep warm, and Jia Waixiong introduced the little eunuch into the shed, took some dry food and handed it over.

The little eunuch was not hungry, he picked up the hay on the ground and lay down, Wu Zhong probe came in and was kicked out by him, what kind of fun do you have in the place where the palm is big.

Jia Waixiong has personally explored the valley, five miles ahead can go out of the mountain, outside the mountain is a horse Pingchuan wilderness, more than ten miles away is Ge Lizi Mountain, where the Qing army camp is located, less than 20 miles to the north is the ruins of Tashan Fort.

The Qing army camped in Gelizi Mountain, and it was natural to reconnoiter within a radius of ten miles, and Jia Waixiong did see messy horseshoe prints outside the valley, but this barren mountain and valley was sealed by heavy snow, and no one could have imagined that there would be a group of men and horses lurking here.

"Overseer, when are you going to do it?" Jia Waixiong rubbed his hands vigorously, and it could be seen that he was both nervous and excited, Qing Jun, an opponent who has never fought before!

"Waiting for Wu Sangui's signal, we must judge the situation and be flexible, it is possible to attack back and forth, or it is possible that we will single-handedly challenge the Qing army in the camp, of course, we may also retreat directly the same way" The little eunuch chewed the hay in his mouth and said lazily.

At present, there are more important things that he needs to do, mobilizing before the war and agitating the morale of the army.

The eunuch army was formed and trained by Chang Yu, and he followed him from Taiyuan to Guanwai through life and death, plus he was the same kind of person, his military spirit has always been very stable, and his fighting spirit has always been surging, because they have always wanted to prove themselves, prove that they are not worse than anyone, and even stronger than anyone else.

However, this time it was not only his 300 eunuch army that went behind the enemy, but also more than 3,000 raw melons and eggs, the infantry of the Shenji Battalion, one of the three major battalions in the capital, it was very famous, but in fact, they were all some people who had never seen blood chicks.

The hardest experience for most of them was this long-distance attack, but after only a short night's rest, they had to go straight to the battlefield to face the Qing cavalry, which was known for its ferocity and toughness.

Of course, with the courage of the newborn calf not to be afraid of tigers, the courage of ignorance, and the musket in his hand.

There were no stars in the sky, and the snow in the mountains would not be out of sight, and the soldiers in the col were tightly huddled together, silent, and the cold wind whistling in their ears and the voice of the little eunuch were in their ears

"Your Beijing camp is the Ming army of the time-honored brand of the country, and the Shenji battalion is one of the leaders, but if there are few military achievements, simply put, it is a false name, a false appearance, this time out of the customs to snipe the Qing army, if you do not play the name, you will be laughed at by the world's military horses, at that time it will not be called Beijing Camp will be called Beijing Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion has become a pheasant battalion." The little eunuch said as he grabbed the snow and stuffed it into his mouth.

The eunuchs were laughing, and some of the soldiers of the infantry battalion began to turn red, but fortunately it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, and some were muttering in protest.

"Some of you who just said may not care at all, don't care about the name, then the governor will give you nag and other things related to your life, we sent troops this time to ambush a group of people and horses of the Qing army, and the order must be carried out, if there is a slack or cowardice before the battle or disturb the morale of the army, it will not be forgiven!"

The little eunuch said viciously: "If you want to survive in the war, there is only one way, that is, to move forward bravely, kill the enemy in front of you to survive, those who try to surrender and save their lives are not so naïve, have you ever seen how the Qing army treated the prisoners?" The Tartars were already poor, and their own people were hungry, so they came to our Daming to grab food, do you think they have surplus food for the captives to eat?

Even if I didn't kill you immediately, after being captured, I was all a cow and a horse over there, and I didn't live as well as a pig or a dog, are you really willing to live like that for the rest of your life, don't you want to think about the old and young in the family? ”

The infantry battalion was collectively silent, everyone was thinking about their hearts, and even whispered to them.

"Why are you in the army? said that it is big to protect the family and defend the country, and now that the Tartars have invaded the Ming Dynasty, how many people have suffered, the family is broken, the wives are separated, are there no your brothers and sisters, even if there is not, how do you know that the next one is not your home, your parents, your brothers have been tortured and humiliated by the Tartars!

To put it mildly, who of you don't have a home, who can't support your family, who doesn't want to earn a career to shine on the lintel, but for many years in Beijing camp has been curled up in that square inch of land, one by one living a life of eating and waiting for death, doing that bit of chicken and dog thieves on weekdays, Tian is shameless, I really expect to be so mixed up for the rest of my life!

And now that your opportunity to make meritorious service has come, as long as you give Lao Tzu a head of five taels of silver, ten heads of officials to be promoted to the second level, and if you want money and money, you want officials and officials, it depends on whether you dare to ask for it!

Fighting has to kill people, but it also depends on how to die, you are cowardly and run away from military law, you cut off your head without a penny, and you are embarrassed, but if you die in battle, there is a generous pension, and those who are lucky not to die will gain fame, you weigh which is cost-effective!

This governor has always been a word, you also know that Teng Xiangwei and the military guard and Jin Wuwei have followed the governor to participate in the war in Taiyuan, those who are alive and come back which reward is less than a son, those who died of the pension has been less than a point, presumably you have heard of this, tomorrow's war is coming, tonight everyone is blowing the wind and their brains are sober, think about it! ”

The little eunuch spent less than half an hour brainwashing these vegetables and eggs, one would draw cakes, the other would draw knives, threatened, intimidated, coerced and lured this method he had already used, and really washed the infantry battalion one by one, his eyes were red, and he was ready to move, as if he would be five million years old tomorrow, thinking about how to spend it tonight.
