"What?"

"What are you?"

"Smack!"

In the new castle of the Lonely Mountain Fort, after hearing the report of the scout captain in front of him, Mang Gurtai suddenly roared in anger, and then a big ear scraper knocked him to the ground.

He couldn't have imagined that in the past two years, all the scouts and sentries sent out, as well as the few teams that went out to collect food because of the shortage of food in Gushan Fort, there was no news back!

These fragmentary people, adding up to at least nearly 5,000 people, actually disappeared like this?

Although there are less than 1,000 of these missing people, the warriors of the Blue Flag and the Two Yellow Flags, this is also a huge loss.

Especially the loss of those grains and grasses, and now not even a grain of grain has returned to the Gushan Fort station, which is a big hidden danger.

Since ancient times, what the army is most afraid of is undoubtedly running out of food, which makes the reckless Gurtai who is anxious, how can he not be like thunder?

So, feeling that something was not quite right, Mang Gurtai immediately summoned the scout captain in the army, and this guy didn't know anything, and almost killed Mang Gurtai to death.

No, this kind of useless waste, living is also a waste of food, naturally it is a big-eared scraper to whip him!

Among the dozens of sons and daughters of the wild boar skin, when it comes to the short-tempered, the three Bel Mang Gurtai should be the first.

This guy, despite his outstanding strength, is one of the most powerful of those brothers and sisters.

But his style of action is known for his tyrannical temperament, irritability and impulsiveness.

Now that he was sent by Huang Taiji to garrison the defense area on the front line of Gushan Fort, there was nothing originally, and it was an extremely ordinary task.

However, since Dolgon and the Duoduo brothers fled west to establish themselves as kings, the Emperor Taiji has done his best to prevent his brothers and sisters and the generals of the banners.

Although the current Gushan Fort is in charge, it is still the owner of the Blue Banner Mang Gurtai, however, the most powerful is the Gushan of the two Yellow Flags.

This one with ten two yellow flags Niu Lu, who came to Gushan Fort to assist in the defense of the Blue Banner, is an inspector with the secret order of Huang Taiji, and has the right to kill all the big officials here.

In this way, Mang Gurtai, who was already extremely dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's ascension to the top and power, almost went crazy on the spot and slashed this Kupilon who came with a secret order.

Fortunately, his temperament is only irritable, but he is not a brainless person, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart.

It's just that the current situation has made Mang Gurtai angry!

None other than the huge flaw that this scout team has made now.

Because if you want to control the battle situation yourself, the most important thing is to control Mang Gurtai's whereabouts and every move.

Under the secret order of Huang Taiji, Curb Bilong came to Gushan Fort not long after, and took over the scout brigade and sentinel team here.

Therefore, Mang Gurtai, who has been swallowing his anger all along, has now discovered that the scout team and sentinel team in charge of Suppilon have made such an incredible mistake, why not use the excuse to be angry and angry?

Moreover, this sudden accident also made Mang Gurtai, who was a veteran of the battlefield, worried.

He immediately sent someone to summon the Gushan Ezhen Suppression of the Two Yellow Flags, and used the excuse to angrily reprimand Suppression Bilon for his incompetence, and ordered a thorough investigation of the cause.

"Humph! Hopefully, this suppilon had better figure out what the situation is now, or else...... Hum! ”

Suddenly, after receiving this bad news, he immediately ordered the ten two yellow flag bull records in his hand, and the cooperating scout brigade to go out in ten ways!

The reconnaissance brigades did not dare to slack off, and quickly probed in the direction of the west and south, and soon got the results.

"Report! Our teams have suffered heavy losses, but we've figured out why! ”

At the beginning of the afternoon, several Niulu brigades with two yellow flags rushed back and entered Zheng of Gushan Xinbao

Several oxen recorded Ezhen and strode into the main fort together, reporting to Mang Gurtai and Kupilon.

"It's the Ming New Army! They dispatched an army of more than 100,000 and rushed straight towards our two forts on the lonely mountain! ”

"All of our scout teams and light and dark sentry teams were hunted down by those scout teams of the Ming New Army!"

A Niu Lu Ezhen, now his face is full of anger, and a round face is flushed in the report:

"Even our newest Niulu brigade just now had an encounter with them. It's also a huge loss! All together, three Niulu's clan warriors have already been lost! ”

"And! Those new troops of the Ming Dynasty had already arrived near Gushan Fort, just ten miles on the west bank of the river, and began to camp and reorganize the army! ”

"It seems that at the latest, we will launch an attack on our two fortresses in the lonely mountain!"

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Mang Gurtai and Kupilon at the scene were already stunned by this big news!

It took a while for the two of them to come back to their senses, and the two of them couldn't care about each other's cats.

The two summoned the generals of the Blue Banner and the Two Yellow Banners, discussed it intensively, and finally made the decision to set off for the whole army to meet the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the tactics that Mang Gurtai adheres to.

Now three of the ten Niu Lu of the two yellow flags have been removed, and only seven Niu Lu are left, where is the opponent of the always strong Mang Gurtai?

Therefore, it is natural to focus on the idea of Mang Gurtai, and he has no confidence at all, and there is no other way to deal with those sudden 100,000 Ming new troops.

Moreover, he has always advocated a straightforward style of play to crush the enemy Raozheng Blue Banner soldiers, and this is the most suitable countermeasure.

Every strong army has its own combat style, and once inertia is formed, it is difficult to change.

This distinctive battle mode is extremely important for any strong army.

Therefore, although the decision made by Mang Gurtai seems a little reckless, it is also the most suitable way for the soldiers of the Blue Banner to fight.

Defending the city?

No, field warfare is what the Houjin warriors are best at, and it is also the strongest combat mode.

Moreover, among the two forts in the lonely mountain now, there is an urgent shortage of military supplies such as grain and grass.

If you defend the city, it won't take long, at most half a month, and all the grain, grass, cattle and sheep will be eaten up by the 30,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of coated slaves in these two large military forts!

The enemy didn't even have to do anything, he only needed to surround the two lonely mountain forts and make a large number of traps outside the city, and he would be able to trap all his hundreds of thousands of men and horses alive in them, without the slightest possibility of accidents.

Therefore, Mang Gurtai decided to go out of the city to face the battle, and the two sides decided in one fell swoop, which was the smartest choice.

If you don't, there is only one way left: immediately retreat with the whole army, and the army will immediately withdraw and return to Shengjing City.

However, even the warhead did not dare to fight, and if he was not convinced in his heart, he would definitely be condemned by Huang Taiji!

Another problem came again: this retreat, Houjin, which took more than three months and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the defense line, was broken through by these Ming new troops.

In this way, Houjin has no way to defend the nest at all, and it is just a matter of time before it ends!

Unless the whole clan runs away and flees to the border so that the new army of the Ming Dynasty cannot find it, otherwise the two sides will have a decisive battle sooner or later.

Win or die!

After reaching an agreement with the two yellow banners Gushan Ezhen Bilong, Mang Gurtai immediately ordered to gather all the men and horses of the two lonely mountain forts, including those Han army banner soldiers and more than 100,000 clothed minions, and go out of the city to fight to the death with the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

In the current situation, the earlier the decisive battle, the more beneficial it will be to the soldiers of the two banners, and if they talk late, the more dangerous their side will become, and they may not even be able to escape and retreat.

Because in the past three months, the two sides have had countless large-scale conflicts, and at that time they both knew something about the enemy.

Both Mang Gurtai and Kupilon knew that the combat effectiveness and fighting will of these Ming New Army troops were not comparable to those Ming officers and soldiers before August last year.

Therefore, Mang Gurtai decided that he would personally serve as the commander of this time and go to meet the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

Second, at the moment of Shen Shi in the afternoon, Mang Gurtai and Kupilon had already gathered their troops.

All the soldiers and soldiers of the Han Eight Banners on the defense line of the two Gushan Forts, as well as more than 100,000 clothed minions, have all gathered in the area of the new Gushan Fort.

In the sound of "rumbling" war drums, the city gate of this huge military fort that had just been built was opened, and a group of soldiers and generals who had been ready slowly poured out from the drawbridge that had just been lowered at the city gate.

Mang Gurtai led the generals to cross the moat and came to the front of the defense line of the Qinglong Legion ten miles away on the west bank of the river, and observed the situation of the opponent's defense line from a distance.

He saw from afar that those new troops of the Ming Dynasty, dressed in black clothes and black armor, were camped in an orderly manner without delay.

These soldiers of the new army of the Ming Empire, when they saw the Tartar army coming, as if they didn't see it, were still busy with their own affairs.

Most of the soldiers didn't even have the interest to look up at these Tartar armies, as if they didn't exist.

At this scene, he was so angry that he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

He is a very proud guy, and what he hates most is that others look down on him, and now he is angry and angry.
