"Very good, Jianyu was fooled."

After getting the news, the two dropout scouts entered the camp they abandoned in a big way, and after searching and leaving triumphantly, Gu Jiaming knew that the first half of the breakthrough into Jinan City was completed.

"Take heed and be vigilant, and the rest of the people will sleep until night...... Let's start marching at ten o'clock, Zhou Ying, your department is in the lead, have you already chosen the direction of the assault? ”

Zhou Ying nodded vigorously: "It's ready!" ”

He is twenty-one years old, which is considered the oldest among the Tiger Guards, and he has been in the fourth year of joining the Tiger Guards, and now he has been promoted to the position of team leader, but he is still a little anxious in his heart. In the Tiger Guard, he was promoted to the team at the age of twenty-one, which is really not something to boast about.

As Gu Jiaming's order was conveyed, the various ministries began to bury pots and cook, and the police posts were spread out far away to prevent the Jian Yu from coming to peep again.

At the same time, Oliya and Ukien also returned to their home camp.

Engetu, the leader of the Red Banner of the Mongolian Army, was a typical Mongolian man, rude and greedy and ferocious of steppe thieves, and when he heard the return of Oliya and Wuqien, he immediately came to Yue Tuo. In this southern expedition, he belonged to the Yuetuo department, and he was also somewhat dissatisfied with the young and ambitious Dorgon, but Yuetuo had already led the army to the expedition in the Nuer Hachi era, which made him quite respectful.

"The two thousand Ming soldiers were frightened away by two scouts?"

When Yue Tuo heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little speechless. Dolgon, who had been with him, laughed.

"It seems that the Ming Kingdom will perish." Dolgon said: "However, it may also be a ploy of the Ming people, they like to make these bluff things, especially the Ming officials, all of them are extremely stupid, but they always love to point fingers. Engtu, what about your two scouts, let them talk back and forth, and I'll ask for details. ”

The first half of the sentence seems to be derogatory, but the later reveals his true intentions.

In this southern expedition, Huang Taiji personally responded in the area of Shanhaiguan and sent the main force of the two red flags and the white flag into the pass, and in its hidden meaning, there is also the meaning of weakening the strength of the two red flags led by Yue Tuo and Du Du. Dolgon understood this, so he forced Yueto and Dudu to attack the enemy many times during the battle.

He knew what he was doing, Yue Tuo could see it clearly, but he was also sure that Yue Tuo would not turn his face because of this, because behind him was Huang Taiji. As long as Huang Taiji adopts this step-by-step approach, Yue Tuo will not turn his face, at most he will maintain some of his own strength as much as possible.

Therefore, he also distrusts the Red Flag of the Mongolian Army in Yue Tuo's hands.

However, Oriya and Ukien appeared to be prepared when answering his almost difficult questions, and even came up with evidence, after they entered the camp abandoned by the Ming, they even found a large amount of materials abandoned by the Ming, which is enough to prove how embarrassed they were to retreat.

"What about those things?"

Engetu next to him was furious, and suddenly jumped out: "Prince Rui, although you are a prince, but there is no reason for this, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has said many times that you must not rob other people's spoils, you have received a lot of good things before, I have endured it, this time we have taken a Ming camp, you have to rob a little tattered?" ”

He jumped out, and Yue Tuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dolgon has indeed gone too far, even with Huang Taiji's orders, he shouldn't be so aggressive with himself!

However, Yueto hesitated whether to clash with Dorgon head-on. The two of them are the commanders of the left and right wing armies, and if there is a real conflict, after passing it back, they will have to be punished by Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji may even use this as an excuse to confiscate the red flag in his hand and transfer it to others.

"Engetu, what are you talking about, Prince Rui will still covet your little loot?" Yue Tuo glared at Engetu and reproached: "You have long followed the Great Qing, don't you know that His Majesty the Emperor is the most just, how can he tolerate this kind of thing?" Don't say more, take your two subordinates, go down first! ”

Engetu angrily rushed out of the tent, and Dolgon looked at his back coldly, and then looked at Yuetuo again: "Yuetuo, you have to teach these people what rules are. ”

"Uncle Wang is right, when this guy Engetu followed the first emperor, he was repeatedly reprimanded for having no rules." Yue Tuo said lightly: "I don't have the skills of the first emperor, this guy is indeed a bit domineering." ”

He sneered, how could Dolgon not hear, but Dolgon also knew that there was no point in pushing any longer, so he sneered and went out of the account.

In the middle of the night, the camp of the Zhenghongqi Mongols led by Engetu was located in the northwest of Jin'nan Province, and they returned here to rest at night, and during the day they went to the large camp in the southeast to listen to orders. This is also because they are the Mongolian Zhenghongqi, so the location is only barely better than the Han army, and the place is the most remote.

This area is both a ditch and a mountain range, and it is not conducive to attacking the city, so the attacks here during the day are feints. Engetu Bai was angry and wanted to drink, but due to Huang Taiji's military order, he could only replace it with broth, and then go to bed early.

The cold weather of December, coupled with the fierce north wind, made everyone shiver, even if they were huddled in the tent, they had to be wrapped in a thick blanket, not to mention the sentry patrolling outside. In the middle of the night, they seek to hide in the leeward place, that is, they cannot squint, or at least they can hide from the wind.

As for the Ming army...... They were on the periphery of the encirclement, and if the Ming army in the southern city of Ji'nan had any plans, there would naturally be a noise in front. Like Engetu, these Mongolian people didn't think of what the Ming reinforcements dared to do, these said, the Ming people came to only one reinforcement, that is, the cowards who scared them away with two horses, even if they didn't escape, they only dared to camp dozens of miles away, waiting for more people to come and strengthen their courage.

Maybe Ming said, the top will send someone to completely kill this small group of Ming troops, so as to eliminate the fighting spirit of the Ming army in the southern city.

Just as the Mongolian people in the camp were gradually falling asleep, ten miles away, the tiger guard walked quietly and silently in the cold wind.

Originally, it was very easy to snow in such a cold weather, but in the past few years, there has been a major drought, and there has been little snow. Gu Jiaming walked in the front, a cloth hanging from his arm, glowing with a faint phosphorescence in the night. This is one of the achievements of the Xinxiang Chemical Research Institute, and the paint that can glow at night is suitable for guiding the direction of the night march so that people will not get lost.

And the problem of night blindness caused by malnutrition among soldiers in this era does not exist in the new Xianghuwei.

But that's it, they still walk high and low, and every now and then someone falls and is picked up by their own partners. Gu Jiaming glanced back, even with his eyesight, he could only barely see the distance within three meters, and no matter how far it was, it was dark.

Ten miles was placed in normal times, that is, the distance that the tiger guards arrived at in half an hour, but in the case of bad road conditions at night, it took them an hour and a half. When I arrived, it was already midnight, and from a distance, the large camp of the Jianyu rose up continuously, firmly surrounded the south of Ji', basically every mile, there was a camp, and between the camps, a torch was set up, and in some key open spaces, a bonfire was lit, and the surroundings were bright.

Anyone who approaches a torch will be immediately noticed.

"The Jianyu are cautious, even if they use the strategy of arrogance against the enemy, they are still on guard." Gu Jiaming thought to himself.

Zhou Ying next to him had a solemn face, and the team he led would break into the camp as a striker. They had made sufficient preparations in advance, knowing that the camp on this side belonged to the Red Banner of the Mongolian Army, which had a slightly weaker combat effectiveness and a slightly worse discipline, and the number was only more than 1,000 people, but because it was all cavalry, it had at least more than 2,000 war horses. After breaking through the encirclement of Jianyu, there were still several miles away from the city, and this distance was instantaneous for the cavalry.

Therefore, it is not enough to break through, but also to dispose of the enemy cavalry that may threaten them.

"Let's rest for a while, it's too cold, be careful not to freeze." Gu Jiaming commanded.

Zhou Ying nodded, they didn't have the conditions to find a leeward place, but fortunately, the two thousand of them stayed in the north all the year round, and they were not uncomfortable with the climate. The Tiger Guard's winter equipment is also excellent, each of them has a deerskin horse jacket, a woolen coat made of wool, and a military coat with cotton on the outside. The hands are also deerskin gloves, and the feet are padded with fluff leather boots - the number of deerskins imported by the Xinxiang leather workshop is as high as 100,000 pieces a year, and its main sources are Taiwan and Annam.

After resting for a while, eating some dry food to replenish his physical strength, and even taking out the hot water kettle that he had prepared to hide in his clothes before setting off and drinking some hot water, Gu Jiaming saw that everyone's strength had recovered, and made a gesture towards Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying said in a low voice: "A team has come to gather!" ”

After a while, each shed reported its number to Zhou Ying, a total of one hundred and five people, not a lot.

Zhou Ying also issued an order with gestures, and then took the lead, lying on the ground, and began to crawl towards the enemy camp.

From the mountains and forests where they are hiding to the camp where they are built, it is about one mile or so, that is, more than 500 meters, and they have to climb 500 meters, which is a great test of physical endurance. But if you want to get close to the enemy camp without anyone noticing, this is the only option.

Crawling for 500 meters may seem easy, but it is not an easy thing for ordinary people, especially when they have to be silent in order to avoid being detected. Zhou Ying climbed at the front, and like him, in addition to choosing the path to crawl, he also had to clear the stones that might cause harm to his later companions. Therefore, the speed at which they were advancing was not fast, Gu Jiaming squatted in the forest, watching their figures turn into a blur, and then turned into a black line under the illumination of the torches and bonfires of the enemy army on the opposite side, silently approaching the enemy camp, he felt as if his heart was hanging in the air, and he couldn't fall for a long time.

There are only more than 1,000 in the Red Banner camp of the Mongolian army on the opposite side, but the number of prisoners around it is definitely more than 10,000, and the number of prisoners surrounding the entire southern city of Ji is more than 100,000!

Just when Zhou Ying and the others were about to get to the front of the enemy camp, suddenly, the enemy camp was stirred, and a team of men and horses came out of the camp tent, lit torches and came directly to the gate of Dazhai, and Zhou Ying and the others were less than fifty meters away from the gate!

"Damn it!" Gu Jiaming's body leaned forward, tense and tight, and his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire.
