Outside the city of Tongzhou, tents were set up in the wilderness, countless cavalry galloped in the wilderness, and various colored flags embroidered with the word "Qing" were waved in the air.

In the large camp, the soldiers were well-armored and orderly, and outside the largest tent, two rows of white-armored warriors lined up to guard the tent.

The weather in November was extremely cold, but the tent was as warm as spring, with thick bear skins covering the ground, and a dozen braziers in the corners of the tents, and the fine fine carbon in the braziers was burning.

After the Manchu Qing Rui Prince Dolgon Tiger sat on the table, Azig Duoduo Bolokong Youde Geng Zhongming and other Manchu and Han Eight Banner generals were lined up left and right, and the temperature in the tent was too high, and everyone removed the thick felt hat on their heads, revealing ugly money rat tail braids.

"Fourteenth brother, if you want me to say that we should directly attack Beijing and capture Emperor Chongzhen alive, in the future, the flower world of the Southern Dynasty will be my Qing Dynasty!" Azig said to Dolgon with a big grin.

"That's it, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are too unbeaten, and they know one by one that they are hiding behind the city wall, and they don't dare to fight with my Eight Banners warriors head-on, but their city wall is built like a turtle shell, which makes people so depressed." Compared with the more reckless Azig, Duoduo appeared more calm, did not refute Azig's arrogant words, but euphemistically pointed out that the city of Beijing was not easy to fight.

Azig and Dordo were Dorgon's siblings, and they were loved by Dolgon and even the Manchu Emperor Huang Taiji. It's just that the two don't deal with each other, and there are faint signs of differentiation, and only Dorgon can suppress them.

With the words of the two brothers, the other Eight Banner generals in the tent also spoke, or echoed Azig or Duoduo, and the tent immediately became lively and noisy, but no matter how they looked, all the Eight Banner generals had a common characteristic, that is, extreme disdain and contempt for the combat power of the Ming army!

"That's it!" Seeing that the tent was getting more and more noisy, Dolgon couldn't help but snort coldly, and suddenly everyone in the tent closed their mouths, and the quiet needles in the big tent could be heard.

"The strategy of sending troops to attack Ming Ming this time has been decided early, don't talk nonsense!" Dolgon glanced at Azig coldly, although the Ming army was weak, it still had hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were heavy troops stationed in Changping, Baoding, Ningyuan, Shanhai, Zhongxie, Xixi, Changping, Tongzhou, and Tianjin.

"We dispatched 12 banners and 60,000 banners this time, it can be said that most of our elites in the Qing Dynasty are here, how can we easily damage the men and horses to attack the city. You must remember that the purpose of our troops is not to occupy the cities of the Ming people, but to plunder the population, gold, silver, grain, and livestock of the Ming people, and rob the Ming Dynasty to strengthen our Qing Dynasty.

Remember that our human lives are precious, and no one can be easily lost! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" In the big tent, all the Manchu and Han generals of the Qing army responded in unison.

"Don't you even fight this close Tongzhou City? I heard that Tongzhou is a big granary in Beijing, and there are countless grain materials in it! Azig licked his lips and asked again.

"There are 30,000 soldiers and horses of Wang Aoyong in Tongzhou City, and there are heavy soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stationed in the vicinity of Tianjin Baoding and Changping, and Tongzhou City is high and deep, and it can be laid in a hurry. We didn't carry much food and grass with the army, so we shouldn't stay here for a long time. The heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty were all left near Gyeonggi, and the southern prefectures and counties were empty, so of course it was easy to give up the difficulties! Looking at his greedy brother, Dorgon had to explain again.

"The last time we sent troops was to the south, attacking Cangzhou Jinan, and the northern part of Shandong has been beaten to the ground, and it must not have recovered. This time, we sent troops straight to the southwest, avoiding Baoding Tianjin and other important towns of the Ming Dynasty, and attacking Linqing from between the Baoding rivers to the south! ”

Dolgon set the direction of the plundering in a few words, Linqing is a very important market town by the canal, where merchants gather, the prosperous place is not Tongzhou, but there is no Ming army heavily guarded, it is a good object of plunder. After the Linqing Dynasty, you can attack the Guangping Daimyo of Shunde to the west, and you can attack Liaocheng Yanzhou to the south, which is the heart of the Ming Dynasty!

As Dolgon set a strategy, a group of Qing soldiers began to advance from the camp, abandoning Tongzhou and heading south, and conquered Bazhou two days later, killing Zhao Hui.

In order to confuse the Ming army and deter the towns of Gyeonggi from sending troops so that they could calmly plunder, Dolgon left more than 3,000 cavalry, based on Bazhou, and divided more than ten troops to cruise in the south of Gyeonggi, plundering the countryside and coercing the prefectures and counties, and the Ming army in the horrified towns was silent, only knew how to guard the city, and did not dare to send troops to fight, more than ten prefectures and counties south of Gyeonggi were suddenly hell on earth, villages and towns were burned, bandits were rampant, hundreds of people were plundered and killed, and the people who escaped left the villages and hid in the mountains and fields, but they also had to endure the harassment of bandits.

......

Outside the Xibian Gate, Chen Yue was training his family more severely, and after experiencing a battle with the Qing soldiers and sentinels, all the family knew the importance of training, and only by practicing martial arts could they save their lives.

The physical fitness of the family members has improved a lot, and now it is very unsafe outside the city, Chen Yue canceled the daily ten-kilometer march training, and instead trained the array martial arts all day long. Chen Yue and Yang Zhengping discussed for a long time, learned from the complicated, determined the five gun skills that could be used in the battle array, and taught them to everyone. The five marksmanship are all offensive marksmanship, attacking the enemy on the opposite side.

On top of the battle array, the emphasis is on team cooperation, and the strength of individual combat skills is not too important. In view of the fact that the family members have not grown up in age and strength, if they compete with the enemy alone, let alone face the Eight Banners, even the ordinary Ming army can't beat it, Chen Yue designed a small team tactic, and the family members are a group of three to train the art of joint attack. In battle, three people work as a team to deal with an enemy, attacking together, and defending together. Its tactics are somewhat similar to the bayonet fighting tactics of the Japanese army in later film and television dramas.

Now the number of family members is still small, and they can't afford to play with multiple arms to fight, Chen Yue just divided the family members into two types: fire gunmen and pikemen, firearms shoot from a distance, and pikemen assassinate at close range.

In battle, the musketeers lined up on the flanks of the pikemen and shot the enemy in the distance with their muskets, and when the two armies approached, they attacked with pikemen, who could also draw their short knives at their waists to fight.

Over the past few days, Chen Yue has also read a lot of military books, and the tactical design of the family refers to the three-talent formation of the Qi family army and the stabbing tactics of later generations. The effectiveness of this tactic depends on the strict training of the family members, and the test of the battlefield. What Chen Yue can do now is to urge the family members to practice their combat skills and practice their skills on the battlefield.
