At the end of March, after resting in Juzhou for more than a month, the Manchu Tartars finally left Juzhou, and the 100,000 Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners escorted more than 400,000 captive civilians, drove hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and other livestock, and thousands of vehicles pulling property and property, and returned north. The whole procession stretched for thirty or forty miles, which was very spectacular. The Ming troops of the cities along the way that had not yet fallen closed the city gates, and did not dare to go out of the city to invite battle.

At the end of March, the Manchu army passed through the Lugou River, a total of three days before everyone finished, the Lugou River is less than a hundred miles away from Tongzhou, the superintendent Zhou Yanru ordered, ordered the Xishan soldiers to prepare for Chen Yue, the general soldiers Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, each with their own men and horses, to attack the Manchu Tartar of Bandu.

Among the three people, two general soldiers and one soldier Beidao, according to the Ming Dynasty's tradition of using literature to control martial arts, of course, the civilian official of Bingbei Dao is the mainstay, not to mention that Chen Yue still holds the sword of Shang Fang in his hand. So Tang Tong and Bai Guangen came to Chen Yue's army to discuss the regulations for sending troops.

"The terrain on both sides of the Lugou River is flat, which is conducive to the galloping of cavalry, and we have no advantage in fighting them here, not to mention that the combined strength of our three divisions is less than 30,000, and the total number of Mantars is as much as 100,000!" Don channel.

"The Governor himself is sitting in the city, but he wants us to come and die, how can it be unreasonable!" Bai Guangen said angrily.

Chen Yue quietly looked at the two people performing in front of him, Tang Tong's face was full of cunning but pretended to be sincere, Bai Guangen's face was loyal, but there was cunning hidden in his eyes, they were not fucking fuel-efficient lamps!

"If it weren't for the court, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu would have stopped waiting for Zhou Yanru a long time ago, and he didn't have to provoke a belly of birds, what kind of bird supervisor, he only knew how to collect money and recognize his godson!" Bai Guangen took a sip and scolded.

Tang Tong looked at Chen Yue's face carefully, but was disappointed to find that Chen Yue had always been unfazed, even when Bai Guangen deliberately scolded Zhou Yanru.

"Well, I see, I don't know what the two chief soldiers mean?" Chen Yue asked politely.

"It's definitely not okay to fight with the Manchu Tartars near the Lugou River, no matter the time and place, it's not me, and if you want to fight, you have to change the battlefield." Tang Tong said his purpose briskly.

"Oh, I don't know where General Tang thinks we should put the battlefield?" Chen Yue asked.

Tang Tong took out a piece of parchment from his bosom, on which were drawn zigzag lines, indeed a map. Pointing to one of the places, he said, "This is it, Panshan!" As long as we ambush the team near the mountain, and when the army is more than halfway through the army, we will be able to bite the Mantar hard, even if it captures hundreds of dozens of heads, it is also a rare victory, if we can solve some people, the credit can be knighted. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Tong's eyes flashed with light, the elite of the Ming border army was consumed in the Manchurian war one after another, he and Bai Guangen's subordinates, as well as Shanhaiguan Ningyuan, Wu Sangui and other departments, are the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, if they can really win a battle, it is no less than a timely rain for the Ming Dynasty, even if it is not an exaggeration!

Looking at the map in front of him, Chen Yue's mind thought quickly, the strategy of Tang Tong and the two of them was obviously much better than Zhou Yanru's half-crossing attack, but this plan was not approved by the supervisor Zhou Yanru, if the battle failed, I am afraid that all the responsibility would be pushed on himself, and the reason why Tang Tong and Bai Guangen lowered their posture to discuss with themselves was that I am afraid that their purpose was to find someone to take the blame for them.

Damn, this Ming civil and military general doesn't have a good thing! Chen Yue pondered for a while, and decided to adopt Tang Tong's method and put the battlefield in Panshan, so that he would have a greater hope of victory. As for disobeying Zhou Yanru's military orders, if this battle is won everything, it is easy to say, if it is defeated, it can escape and ascend to heaven, then go directly back to Xishan, Chen Yue will not be stupid enough to return to Tongzhou and let Zhou Yanru fall.

"Okay, let's put the battlefield on the mountain!" Chen Yue hammered the map hard and said resolutely. Hearing this, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

After deliberation, it was decided to march in three divisions, bypassing Tongzhou City, turning north from the east, and marching to Panshan at a distance of dozens of miles from the Manchu Tartar brigade. The full Tartar sentry cavalry was released for more than ten miles at most, and this Ming army could not be found at all. After reaching the winding mountain, he turned west and attacked the retreating Mantar rear army. However, none of the three people in this strategy are ready to report to the Governor's Mansion, because in the eyes of the three of them, Zhou Yanru is a mallet who does not understand military affairs, let him command everyone to fight, I am afraid that everyone will die faster.

However, before the pulling, you must first ask the governor's office for grain and grass, and according to the itinerary, you need at least half a month's ration. Who knows, the Governor's Mansion is only a few dozen miles away from Tongzhou on the battlefield, and is only willing to allocate grain and grass for ten days, Chen Yue has been asking Zhang Chengkai to bribe the scribes in charge of grain some time ago, and now the army has accumulated about half a month's rations, not to mention the fried noodles and dry food that he made when he was in Xishan, saving some enough to eat for thousands of people for a month, so Chen Yue generously gave the military rations allocated to him to Tang Tong and the others.

In this era, few people were willing to give up the food in their hands, and in gratitude, Tang Tong and the others gave Chen Yue some firearms in the army, with a total of ten tiger squat cannons and forty or fifty guns of various types. Chen Yue also asked the Governor's Office for the allocation of firearms, but was refused.

On 29 March, the three armies bypassed Tongzhou and headed north, where they soon disappeared into the distance.

"What? Chen Yue They didn't attack the Manchu who crossed the river, but fled north? Zhou Yanru was shocked when he received the report, and he was overjoyed, "Great, Chen Yue dared to disobey orders and flee the battlefield without authorization, and the national and French military discipline of the Ming Dynasty will never spare you." Come on, grind quickly, I want to write the chapter myself, and tell Chen Yue fiercely! ”

Wang Yin looked at the elated Zhou Yanru, and had the heart to remind him that Chen Yue and Bai Guangen and Tang Tong were definitely not the ones who fled without a fight, but looking at Zhou Yanru's elated appearance, he closed his mouth again.

"Master Overseer, do you want to continue to send troops to attack the Manchu Tartars in Bandu?" Wang Yin asked, in his opinion, taking advantage of the Manchurian half-crossing, waving his army to attack, even if he can't defeat the Manchu, he can rescue a large number of people, so good!

"Hit? What else to fight, Chen Yue's unauthorized escape made the army's morale disheartened, where can the armies still fight? Yes, I want to add the article that Chen Yue's escape will make the army discouraged. Zhou Yanru muttered to himself. can finally shirk part of the responsibility, and Zhou Yanru is in a very happy mood at this moment. 2510
