Chapter 102: Confrontation (2)
The army continued on its way, and after less than ten miles, a group of harassing cavalry came from behind. Duoduo remained the same, sending a thousand-strong Mongol army to hunt down the bandits.
In the eyes of the Manchurians, although the Mongols' ability to charge head-on could not be compared with their Manchurian warriors, they were still very suitable for this kind of work of chasing flies.
The army continued on its way, and Duoduo still didn't care much about the small assault.
In the rest of the journey, at regular intervals, a group of cavalry would appear from behind to harass the Manchurian army. Duoduo did the same, and each time he sent a thousand Mongols to drive him away.
After coming for five times, the Mongol cavalry that had gone to drive it away had already sent five teams of 6,000 men to attack, almost one-fifth of the strength of the army on this expedition.
Fortunately, in the rest of the march, there were no more obnoxious thief cavalry, which made Duoduo breathe a sigh of relief. These creatures were as harassing as flies, but whenever the cavalry that drove them appeared, they fired a round of arrows and immediately turned around and ran.
Hmph, when your lair is taken down by this king, see if you still have the courage to come and harass you!
Duoduo was not an impulsive general, and his years of experience in the campaign had taught him that he must not let these flies affect his mood and judgment.
The army continued on its way, finally reaching the northern entrance to the boar slope before dusk.
Looking at this dark mountain forest in the twilight, and thinking that Tong Yangxing's damn fool was ambushed here, Duoduo sneered and ordered to set up camp.
The Qing army quickly set up a huge and strong camp in the wilderness with great efficiency.
The camp is circular as a whole, with four exits in the south, south, west, and northwest, tall and sturdy fences, towering watchtowers and arrow towers on all sides, and a plate of sharp and sharp horses outside the camp, and even a trench is dug outside the horses.
Fifty miles away from the scout rangers, except for a few large tents with sporadic lights in the camp, the rest of the camps were dark, and a group of patrol soldiers with grim expressions continued to patrol inside and outside the camp, and from time to time there was the sound of two patrols checking passwords.
The entire camp can be said to be tightly defended and not leaky.
The Manchurians did not belong to the nomadic people in the strict sense, but should be said to belong to the fishing and hunting people. Their ancestors made a living by hunting and fishing in the dense forests of Liaodong.
It is precisely because of this tenacity and courage honed in the harsh environment and strong combat ability that they can gradually become stronger from the dense forests of ice and snow, and conquer Mongolia step by step, defeat the Ming Dynasty, and coerce Korea, so that the entire Liaodong has become their own territory.
The Manchurians had a good advantage in that they were very good at learning. In the process of continuous conquest, they learned to ride and shoot with the Mongols, and combined with their fearless spirit, they forged powerful Manchurian knights.
In the process of fighting with the Ming Dynasty, they learned the skills of the Central Plains Dynasty to camp and the skills of foot combat, so they also became a powerful army capable of both field and foot combat.
Today, they are still learning, so they have siege weapons such as the Red Cannon, which makes their siege ability skyrocket.
It can be said that the current Qing army is basically an all-round and powerful army.
An army that is so good at learning in war is naturally a force that anyone must value.
In the middle of the camp was Duoduo's tent. In the huge tent, four huge wind lanterns hang on the walls, illuminating the tent as bright as day.
At this moment, Dodor had removed his heavy armor and replaced it with a soft armor, and his bare head shone faintly in the light.
Duoduo sat cross-legged behind a low table, holding a book in his hand and looking at it carefully, from the cover of the book you can see four block Chinese characters: Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a romance novel compiled by a literati surnamed Luo in the Ming Dynasty based on a history of the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony thousands of years ago in the Central Plains Dynasty, which contains many strange plans about war.
This book was originally circulated by the Ming Dynasty folks to pass the time, but inadvertently the Manchurian Khan Nurhachi was amazed after seeing it, thinking that it was a book from heaven, and from then on the Manchurian nobles almost everyone had a copy.
It can be said that in the eyes of the Manchurian aristocracy, this is a popular version of a military strategy textbook.
Although many of these stories were made up out of thin air by the literati, it did not prevent the Manchurian nobles from respecting and loving this book.
Today, Duoduo is seeing the chapter of Kong Ming's empty city plan to scare Sima Yi away, saying that Kong Ming sat at the head of the city, burned incense and played the piano, and the city gate was wide open, which scared Sima Yi's 100,000 troops not to enter, and finally withdrew the troops. It's ridiculous. ”
There was a small guy in the big tent, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, kneeling in front of the small table to pour tea for Duoduo, and said with a sneer: "These Han people have always been stupid and self-righteous, how can they be so wise and wise as the prince." ”
Duoduo laughed, looked up at the little guy and said, "You slave can say, then you tell me how this king is wise and wise, and if you can't say it, you will have a dog's head." ”
"Needless to say, if the Ming people are not stupid, how can this Liaodong become the land of our Qing Dynasty, in addition to the invincible warriors of Manchuria, the slaves seem to be more important because of the prince, and Prince Rui, the prince of England is brave and wise, brave and strategic, compared to what Zhuge Kongming is very powerful. Let's just say that today's thief army, although they have attacked and harassed many times, they are not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the prince. ”
The little guy said flatteringly with a smile.
Although Duoduo knew that this guy was talking nonsense and deliberately greeted him, he was still happy to hear it, and pointed to the little guy and said, "You slave can say with your mouth, and this king will let your dog's head continue to grow." ”
The little guy smiled and thanked him.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps approached outside the account, and someone shouted: "Lord, Balgen is back." ”
"Let him come to the king." The way that Duoduo did not care.
The person outside the account hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, Balgen, I'm afraid he won't be able to see Lord Wang at this moment." “
"Why?" Dodor asked aloud after a moment's pause.
"Lord Wang, please come out and take a look." The voice outside the tent hesitated.
"A bunch of dog minions." Duoduo cursed, put the book still on the small table, and walked out of the tent.
When he got out of the tent, he saw a man lying in the open space outside the tent, covered in blood, unconscious, who was the Gushan Ezhen Balgen who had been sent out by himself to drive away the Mongolian cavalry that was chasing and killing the enemy's cavalry.
