After the Jiannu army arrived at the city of Datong, the Ming army never stopped harassing them, and the members of the special training team went out every night to harass the Jiannu camp in various ways.

For this reason, Jiannu suffered enough, and arranged a large number of patrols every night, and the camp was heavily guarded. This caused considerable trouble to the operations of the special training team, and many members of the team were killed or injured in the line of duty.

After making up his mind to send elite cavalry out of the city to sneak attack, Sun Chuanting suggested that Cao Yue temporarily stop the attack of the elite squad at night, so that Jiannu's vigilance would be lowered, and when they were careless, they would be hit hard. However, Cao Yue did not follow Sun Chuanting's advice and continued to send members of the training team to attack the Jiannu camp.

After personally arranging a large-scale raid and harassment battle again, Cao Yue summoned Zhao Tai, the deputy commander-in-chief, to Xingyuan.

"Deputy Chief Zhao, I will call you here today, and I have a very important task to be handed over to you!" After Cao Yueping retreated, he motioned for Zhao Tai to sit on the side of the desk with him, "The men and horses you lead are the most elite cavalry in the Datong Army, and today I will order you, with 8,000 people from your department, to attack the camp at night." Ben will arrange a number of people to cooperate and respond, and be careful to deal a heavy blow to Jiannu. ”

"Please rest assured, the general will definitely complete the task!" Hearing that Cao Yue handed over the task of the night attack to him, Zhao Tai was immediately overjoyed, and immediately straightened up, put his legs together, and accepted the task with his head held high.

Cao Yue also told Zhao Tai all about his plans and arrangements for tonight, including the people who responded to him, as well as the plan to cooperate with the response.

After Zhao Tai heard this, he was even more overjoyed, and once again promised to complete the task, and after making a military order, he went to prepare.

Later, Cao Yue summoned Cao Jie, Zhao Liang and other military directors to the line and gave orders one by one. After all the arrangements were made, Cao Yue told Sun Chuanting about the plan.

Cao Yue actually made a night attack plan without consulting him, Sun Chuanting was angry, and he blew his beard and glared at Cao Yue, but in the end, Cao Yue was too lazy to pay attention to it, and succumbed to Cao Yue's arrangement, regardless of Cao Yue's behavior of ignoring him as a "superior", but asked Cao Yue to ensure that tonight's night attack was successful, otherwise he would play to the court and impeach Cao Yue.

"Old man Sun, you just wait for my good news!" Cao Yue rudely reached out and patted Sun Chuanting's shoulder, turned around and left.

Cao Yue has already figured out the temper of Old Man Sun, this is a strange person with a different kind of personality, upright and hot-tempered, but he doesn't have much scheming, that is, a stubborn old man who is stinky and hard, but if he is on the way, it doesn't matter how he hurts. After the highest voice of Old Man Sun was happily accepted by him, Cao Yue knew that when dealing with this guy, there was no need to abide by any red tape.

Cao Yue's strategy is really right, Sun Chuanting is a weirdo, he hates those false etiquette, and he doesn't know how to cater to him, and his temper is explosive, otherwise he wouldn't end up being sent to prison by Emperor Chongzhen for a few years.

After arriving in Datong, he found that Cao Yue and him were very right-natured, and he was not a big or small Shangguan, he felt that he had finally met a person with the same smell, and Cao Yue was a capable general, he didn't care about this little guy yelling in front of him, not big or small, but enjoyed this way of getting along.

He also believed that Cao Yue would surprise him tonight.

Also, even if Cao Yue's plan is not successful tonight, he will not take the matter to the court and impeach Cao Yue. What he said just now was just a threat, and he wanted to use it to pressure Cao Yue.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At night, for more than ten consecutive miles, the Jiannu camp surrounded by Datong City was still very lively, and inside and outside the camp, the patrolling sergeants were in teams one after another, and there was almost no break. This is the case no matter which big camp it is, during this time, it was attacked and harassed by the elite detachment of the Ming army every night, and the losses were not small, and the leading generals of Jiannu did not dare to have any carelessness.

But this also made the sergeant suffer, he had to be on patrol every night, and he didn't dare to sleep soundly, for fear of being attacked by the elite detachment of the Ming army. Under such strict precautions, it was not possible to be attacked by the elite detachment of the Ming army, and the morale of Jiannu was greatly damaged, and the spirit of some soldiers was in a state of collapse or close to collapse.

No one could have imagined how the elite detachment of the Ming army infiltrated their camp under such strict patrol and defense.

Geng Zhongming's battalion was adjusted to the direction of the west gate of Datong after the arrival of the follow-up army led by Dolgon.

Because the Eight Banners of the Han Army basically had to be the vanguard in every battle, their large battalions were all in front of the army, and behind or on the side of their large battalions, mixed with the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Jurchen Eight Banners, the large battalion of the Jurchen Eight Banners was in the best terrain, retreating and defending, and attacking quickly. The Jurchens arranged this way, in addition to letting the Han army and the Mongols serve as cannon fodder, of course, for the purpose of surveillance, and also to arrange a retreat for their own men and horses.

Because the elite people were almost wiped out under Datong City last time, now Geng Zhongming's command is not very effective except for his own two thousand guards, and the other horses are not very good.

Geng Zhongming's mood was very complicated, he wanted to preserve his strength and save the nearly 20,000 horses that he had so hard to regain, but he also wanted to make some military exploits through hard work to impress Dolgon and the other Jiannu leaders. However, during the first siege of the city a few days ago, his men and horses were attacked by the Mongol rout before they could rush near the city wall, and as a result, they lost nearly 3,000 horsemen. It made him feel uneasy, but there was nothing he could do.

In the end, he could only hold the mentality of going out and prepare to fight with the Datong army.

He has no way back on the road of acting as a traitor, and can only go one way to the dark. In this battle, if you can make a meritorious service, maybe the future will be better, if you are defeated again, you will definitely be spurned by Jiannu.

But even if he was spurned by Jiannu, he had no way back, and the Ming Dynasty hated several of their surrendered generals, especially the three people who were named the king of Sanshun by Jiannu. Even if they rebel against the water and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court will not tolerate the crimes they committed in the past, and it will be a dead end.

Therefore, Geng Zhongming could only fight to the death for Jiannu. He strictly ordered his subordinates to raise the spirit of twelve points to prevent the sneak attack of the Ming army. If you encounter a sneak attack by the Ming army, you must fight back with all your might; In the future siege of the city, it is also necessary to give full play to the maximum combat power, and strive to make Dolgon look at it differently. This is related to the future of him and his men.

Of course, Geng Zhongming still hopes that his strength can be preserved, his battalion will not be attacked by the Ming army, and he will not lose too much when attacking the city. But what I was worried about, but what I was worried about.

That night, after midnight, when the moon had completely disappeared and the sky had become very dark, the fire of his camp was again ignited, and a terrifying explosion sounded.

"It's another sneak attack by the Ming army!" There was no need for his sergeant to report, Geng Zhongming judged from the sound of the explosion that his battalion had been attacked by the elite detachment of the Ming army.

Geng Zhongming came out of the tent and prepared to send a messenger to personally counterattack the sneak attack of the Ming army, but at this time, the captain of the personal army suddenly warned loudly that there was a situation. After listening to the ground for a while, the captain of the pro-soldier reported loudly: "Lord Wang, it seems that a large group of cavalry is approaching!"

"What? Brigade cavalry approaching? After Geng Zhongming heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Send someone to find out immediately, whether it is friendly support or a large-scale sneak attack by the Ming army!"
