Yue Fei Yue Wumu's famous sentences, even if they are illiterate military men, at least for these generals in the army, they naturally know it. At this time, when I heard Lord Zhongcheng chanting, I remembered Yue Wumu's pride and ambition back then, and suddenly, everyone was in a lot of energy.

Today's imperial court is far better than the Southern Song Dynasty. The emperor is wise and martial, and he is the biggest support behind them. Yue Wumu still has such a lofty ambition, so I'm afraid of him now!

The so-called generals are the courage of the army, and under the influence of Lu Daqi, the fighting spirit of the generals in the army has been raised again, and it has also affected ordinary soldiers at once. No longer complaining about eating too little, and even taking the initiative to save food, in order to last for more days. Everyone's mental state can't be seen as besieged.

This scene in the Hami Ming army surprised Baturhun and others.

On the other hand, his own soldiers originally thought that under the surprise attack, the Ming army would be defeated, and it was likely that the Ming army would be decided in a battle. Unexpectedly, they did succeed in the surprise attack, but the Ming army was tenacious, and even after the grain and grass materials were burned, they were able to regain their morale to fight. Such an opponent, even ordinary people know, is too difficult to fight. Remembering that this is just the vanguard of the Ming army, in the face of the behemoth Ming Kingdom, is there really any hope for the confrontation?

Seriously, many people are worried about the future of Golbe. In this way, how can the morale of this army be high?

Baturhun looked at the comparison of the morale of the two armies, and knew that he couldn't go on like this, so he began to inspect the camp, pacify the army, and publicize that this Ming army was the most elite army of the Ming State, and the Ming State relied on this Ming army to defeat the Liaodong Jianyu, but now it is fighting with their Junggar Department, but it is exhausted of ammunition and food, besieged in Hami, and can be destroyed in the near future.

Hearing him say this, the morale of his subordinates has finally improved a lot, and he is obviously much more active in the siege and elimination of the Ming army.

On the one hand, Batur Hui saw if there was a chance to fight the Ming army in Hami again, and on the other hand, he also sent a sentry and put a guard away to prevent the arrival of Ming reinforcements.

The days passed like this, the Ming army did not break through, and the Junggar cavalry did not find another opportunity to attack Hami, and the two armies faced each other like this.

…………

"It's all optimistic, the Ming army has nothing to eat, they won't be hungry for a few days, and when the time comes, we won't be able to kill them all!" In the army of the Dzungar tribe, the leaders at all levels reminded them from time to time to boost their morale.

"Persistence is victory, and in a few days, our reinforcements will arrive. Governor Hong personally sent 100,000 cavalry troops and pacified the Dzungar tribe. In the Hami Ming army, generals from all walks of life patrolled, constantly reminding, and boosting the morale of the soldiers.

…………

Time passed slowly, and the monk was a little uneasy, and found Baturhun and said to him: "Father Khan, these Ming troops are too strong, these have passed for many days, and their morale is not weak at all. ”

Batur Hun didn't know about this situation. He sighed in his heart, and then he asked, "Then what do you have a good idea?" ”

"Erchen thinks that he can't just be deadlocked." When the monk heard this, he immediately proposed to Baturhui, "We must bear a little loss, and constantly send troops to attack and harass them, so that they cannot save food, and accelerate their food consumption, so that we can be sure that we can destroy them before the Ming reinforcements arrive!" ”

It's not that he hadn't tried to attack the Ming army before, but the final result was that he couldn't attack it, and there were a lot of casualties, so Batur Hui ordered to only besiege and not attack.

"The firearms of the Ming army are powerful, and they don't need too much strength from their soldiers." Baturhui said with a heavy face, "Our people were hit by firearms, and it was basically difficult for them to survive, and the casualties would be a bit high!" ”

"Father Khan, do you have to wait until the Ming reinforcements arrive? In that case, we have already lost so much, and we will fall short! When the monk heard this, he was a little anxious, and his voice was much louder.

Baturhun didn't answer immediately, but looked at Hami in the distance. After a long while, he suddenly nodded and said, "It's up to you, remember, when attacking, find more things to cover and minimize our casualties." ”

"The retainers obey!" When the monk heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and then went to work.

Not long after, the Dzungar cavalry launched an offensive against the Hamiming army.

They stacked a lot of felt on the camels and attacked the Ming army under the cover of the camels. When the camel was killed, he pushed the carcass of the camel on.

On the side of the Ming army, it was natural to try not to let the enemy succeed, and after the power of the firearm strike was greatly reduced, they could only send troops to fight hand-to-hand and kill the enemy hiding behind camels and other obstacles.

After two days of fighting, the Junggar cavalry still did not attack Hami City, but the food reserves on the side of the Ming army were also consumed a lot. The situation is reported to Lu Daqi, and he has no choice.

At the beginning of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Ming army had to be fed. But as the enemy's offensive intensifies, the more soldiers of the Ming army participate in hand-to-hand combat, the more food will be consumed, which is unavoidable.

Time passed slowly, and it was really a bit difficult for the Ming army.

Looking at the traces carved by himself with a knife on the table, Lu Daqi calculated, twelve days have passed since the raid, and at this time, the news should have reached Jiayuguan, but I don't know, where did Governor Hong lead the army? In any case, it should last at least ten days or so, and then there must be hope.

However, as time passed, the Junggar cavalry significantly increased its offensive, and the consumption of surplus food in the army was very fast, not to mention holding out for about ten more days, at the current rate, at most three days.

"Three days!" Lu Daqi sighed in his heart and silently recited this number.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and prepared to inspect the army. But as soon as I stood up, I felt that it was dark in front of me, and my body shook, and I was about to fall.

When his guards saw it, they were quick and hurriedly supported him, but fortunately he didn't faint.

After Lu Daqi stood there and was silent, he stretched out his hand to indicate that it was okay. Squeezed out a smile and laughed at himself: "Lian Po is old! ”

"Lord Zhongcheng, you eat so little, you should rest." Seeing that he wanted to go out, his personal guard hurriedly said.

Lu Daqi shook his head and insisted on going out to inspect.

In fact, at this time, he went out on patrol, and it didn't improve morale much. All the officers and men of the Ming army understand what the situation is in front of them. What else can I do now, I can only fight with the enemy!

Lu Daqi saw that there were only three hundred war horses left in the army, and the rest of the war horses had already been eaten. In fact, they had to eat it, because there was nothing for the war horses to eat, and those were also given to people.

After taking a final look at the camp of the Junggar cavalry, Lu Daqi returned to his house and held a military meeting. Looking around at the generals, he said to them: "The offensive of the Dzungar Department is getting stronger and stronger, and it is impossible for them to let us wait for reinforcements. Moreover, our military rations, even if they are saved, will only last for three days at most. What do you mean? ”

When these generals heard this, they all looked at each other, what could they say?

However, one of the generals suddenly replied to Lu Daqi with a hint of anger: "Lord Zhongcheng, why don't you fight with these Tartars!" Rather than us being so hungry that we can't move and be slaughtered by these Tartars, we might as well have a full meal at the end and kill them! ”

Hearing him speak, another general also echoed him, demanding to kill the enemy.

Seeing that more and more generals are asking for this, they are unwilling to be slaughtered by the enemy in the end. Lu Daqi gritted his teeth, and immediately nodded: "Okay, then wait for tomorrow evening, when the Junggar Department attacks again, the whole army will go out and kill them for a while, and after nightfall, you can hide if you can, and wait until the day when the reinforcements arrive." ”

This is also equivalent to putting all the food on the last day in advance by one day, so that the soldiers can have a full meal and then kill happily. As for what happens after that, it's all up to God's will.

These generals all had the consciousness of dying in battle, but they were also worried about Lu Daqi, so they asked, "Lord Zhongcheng, what should you do?" ”

"The old man is sitting in this city, with the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand, he will never insult the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!" Lu Daqi listened to it and said lightly, as if he was not saying that he was determined by death, but by ordinary chatter.

What else can be said in this case? The generals in the army all saluted Lu Daqi and said, "Farewell to the Martyrs' Shrine!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Daqi slowly stood up and said solemnly: "See you at the Martyrs' Shrine!" ”

Towards the evening of the next day, as is customary, the Dzungar cavalry will have another offensive after resting. All the soldiers of the Ming army have already had a full meal, just waiting for them to send them to the door.

However, the monk found an abnormality, and immediately reported to Batur Hun and said: "Father Khan, something is wrong today, those Ming troops seem to have let go of eating, even the people in the camp obviously have strength. ”

The movements of the little 10,000 people, even if they are hidden and full, there will be too many clues. As long as you are careful, you can always find clues.

Baturhun listened, was not negligent, immediately asked the details, and then said categorically: "The Ming army's food has run out, this is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry!" ”

"Is the decisive battle today?" When the monk heard this, he couldn't help but confirm excitedly.

"No!" Baturhui listened to it and replied categorically, with a cruel smile on his face, "Pass on my military order, withdraw all the troops, stay away from the Ming army, let them eat war horses, and see how far they can run with the little things in their stomachs!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the monk understood what his father Khan meant, and immediately rejoiced, and hurriedly agreed, and went to give the order.

Their meaning is obvious, the Ming army wants to fight a decisive battle, they don't, anyway, there are no people outside the plug, so let you run well, how far can you run, where can you run? The final result, the Ming army will die!
