Chapter 1 Coming to Daming
Cao Yue stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, looking indifferent, he had been in this posture for several hours.
"The fuck really crossed over!" With a heavy sigh, he finally withdrew his gaze from the window and sat back on the marching couch.
A high-achieving student who graduated from the Shijiazhuang Army Academy, he became a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander at the age of 31, and was valued by the head of the military region. Soon after changing jobs, he participated in the annual tour organized by the unit, but suffered a car accident on the way, and when he woke up, he found that he had crossed into Daming; Crossing it, crossing it, I didn't expect to be very unlucky to cross to the battlefield, and I was about to face a war that ended in a disastrous defeat---- Cao Yue felt that his life was already tragic and couldn't be more tragic.
It is now July of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, this is Songshan in Liaodong, and the place where Cao Yue is now is the military camp outside Songshan City in Liaodong. Today, Songshan is in a state of war, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Jiannu are facing off on the front line of Songshan. This is a war related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and in the end the Ming Dynasty lost the war, and most of the Ming soldiers who participated in the war had a very tragic fate, either dead or captured by the Manchus.
"How so?" Thinking of what happened to him during this time, Cao Yue couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
The body he crossed is also called Cao Yue, who is twenty years old this year and is now serving as a deputy general in the army.
Cao Yue's father in the Ming Dynasty was called Cao Wenzhao, who was a tiger general at the end of the Ming Dynasty and had outstanding achievements. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao committed suicide in an unexpected defeat in the battle with the peasant rebel army of King Gao Yingxiang, and his eldest son Cao Chao died in battle. After Cao Wenzhao's death, his family was posthumously awarded a high-level title by the imperial court, and Cao Yue and his second brother Cao Wei were able to inherit the official position of commanding the affairs of the Jinyi Guard. Cao Wenzhao has a nephew, Cao Bianjiao, who has been following Cao Wenzhao to fight everywhere, and has repeatedly made military exploits and served as the chief soldier of the ASEAN Association. Cao Yue is now Cao Bianjiao's deputy general.
When Cao Yue traveled by bus before the crossing, he happened to be reading a book about the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty when he was idle, and he probably read several major wars in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and he also read the battle of Songjin at the end of the Ming Dynasty that can be described as a turning point.
In the battle of Songjin, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, led Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of the East Association, Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, Li Mingfu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Wang Tingchen, the chief soldier of the Qiantun Guard, eight general soldiers, with 130,000 foot cavalry, went out of the pass to fight against the Manchu army. In this battle, the Ming army was defeated in the end, the commander Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the last elite of the Ming Dynasty was wiped out.
Historians analyze, in fact, the battle of Songjin The Ming army still had a chance to win, but because of Hong Chengchou's strategic mistake, all the troops were gathered on the front line of Songshan, and the Manchu army seized this opportunity to bypass Songshan and easily capture Beacon Mountain, where the Ming army hoarded grain. The grain route of the Ming army was cut off, the grain and grass were cut off, and the retreat route was cut off, and it fell into a desperate situation. Hong Chengchou, who was almost cornered, was unwilling to withdraw his troops and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Manchu army when the food and grass were not exhausted, but most of the generals under his command had no idea of a decisive battle with the Manchus.
Before the decisive battle began, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, Ma Ke, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, Tang Tong, the general soldier of Xuanfu, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, led the army to flee first, and the Manchu army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and the Ming army was defeated like a mountain. Tens of thousands of Ming troops were annihilated by the Manchu army or driven into the sea, and Wang Pu and Wu Sangui were spared.
After Hong Chengchou led his army to defend Songshan Castle for more than a year, he finally chose to surrender.
Thinking of this, Cao Yue couldn't help but shudder. Now that he is in Songshan, the Ming army and the Manchu army are in a standoff, which can only indicate that the Battle of Songjin is underway. Perhaps soon, the Ming army will be defeated, and he, the traverser, may also die in the chaos.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that the Ming army has not yet been defeated, and the war is in a state of hanging.
Cao Yue, like his father, is also a fierce general. Two days earlier, he followed his cousin Cao Bianjiao to face the Manchu army, but in the process of fighting the Jiannu army, the war horse was shot by the Manchus, and he fell from the horse and was seriously injured in the head and fell into a coma. After waking up, everything changed, the original Cao Yue traveled to other places, and the twenty-first century Cao Yue replaced his soul.
Everyone is afraid of death, and the current Cao Yue is no exception. Although he has just experienced the bizarre experience of time travel, it does not mean that he can accept death calmly again. Cao Yue wondered if he could untie this dead knot and avoid another bad luck.
"If Hong Chengchou is reminded to pay attention to the sneak attack of the Manchu army on Beacon Mountain, and then remind him to be careful to guard against the several major generals under his command who flee before the battle, and strictly control the army, can the defeat of this battle be avoided?" When this thought came to him, Cao Yue's heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited, "Could it be that God let me cross to change the outcome of this battle and save Daming from fire and water?" ”
When the thought first arises, there is a commotion outside the house, and then a majestic male voice sounds: "Fifth brother, are you better?" ”
With the voice, a handsome man in military uniform pushed the door in.
"It's better, cousin!" Cao Yue immediately recognized that this was his cousin, Cao Bianjiao, who was the chief soldier of the ASEAN Association at the time.
Cao Wenzhao and his younger brother Cao Wenyao had five sons, Cao Bianjiao was the oldest, and Cao Yue was the youngest, and was called "fifth brother" by other brothers. Cao Bianjiao was only in his early thirties, but because he followed Cao Wenzhao and made pardon military exploits, he became a general soldier at a young age.
"It's good to get better, rest for a few days, and then talk about recuperating your body first," Cao Bianjiao's expression became relaxed, and he pulled Cao Yue to sit down, "Inspector Hong also knows your situation, he praised your bravery and let you recuperate with peace of mind." In the next battle, don't participate, Jiannu's offensive is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and in a few days, they will not be able to receive food and grass, and then they will retreat. ”
"Oh?!" Cao Yue replied casually, and didn't say anything else.
Although Cao Bianjiao is his cousin, two years of fighting together have made the relationship between the two very good, like brothers, but the crossing has changed everything, and Cao Yue is very unfamiliar with everything in front of him, including people and things. This feeling made him not know what to say or what to do.
Seeing Cao Yue's stunned appearance, Cao Bianjiao sighed slightly, patted Cao Yue's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, don't think too much, rest well, and after this war, you will go back to Beijing to save your aunt from worrying." Okay, you can rest, and go to work for your brother first. ”
"Cousin, wait a minute," Cao Yue subconsciously opened his mouth and called Cao Bianjiao, who was about to leave.
"Fifth brother still has something?" Cao Bianjiao stopped and looked at Cao Yue suspiciously.
"There is something," Cao Yue frowned and thought for a while, and finally became ruthless, and said to Cao Bianjiao in a low voice: "Cousin, junior brother asks you a question: Is our army's grain and grass all hoarded on Beacon Mountain?" ”
"Exactly, what's wrong?" Because Cao Yue is his deputy general and cousin, Cao Bianjiao answered Cao Yue's question without any hesitation or concealment.
"It's not a good thing," Cao Yue hurriedly expressed his worries, "Bijia Mountain is not a short distance from Songshan, and there is no heavy protection of troops, if Jiannu makes a detour to attack, it will be difficult for our army stationed in Songshan to take care of it, and our army's grain route may be cut off, grain and grass will be cut off, and even the connection with Guannai will be cut off, and the whole army will be surrounded by Jiannu." If that's the case, it's annoying. Cousin, I think we should send heavy troops to protect the grain and grass in Beacon Mountain, so as not to be taken advantage of by Jiannu and make our army passive. ”
After Cao Bianjiao heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately agreed with Cao Yue's statement: "Fifth brother, what you said is good. We hurriedly sent a message to Inspector Hong, and suggested that Inspector Hong send a detachment of men and horses to Bijia Mountain to protect the grain and grass and prevent the sneak attack of Jiannu. ”
"I'll go with you," Cao Yue was a little excited at this time, and immediately asked to go with Cao Bianjiao to see Hong Chengchou.
I don't know what's going on, I think of most of the memories of my predecessor while speaking, I know the situation in the army in my heart, and the memories of the two lives are in my heart, and Cao Yue at this time feels even more that he has to do something to change the current situation.
Cao Bianjiao glanced at Cao Yue twice, and finally agreed: "Okay, let's go together." ”
Cao Yue followed Cao Bianjiao out of the camp of the Eastern Association Army, and quickly came to Hong Chengchou's line in Songshan City.
After the soldiers went in to report, Hong Chengchou immediately let the two brothers in.
This is a middle-aged man with a very powerful face, who looks upright. Just when Cao Yue looked at Hong Chengchou who was sitting in the tent, Cao Bianjiao had already stepped forward and saluted and said what Cao Yue had just said. Cao Bianjiao is Hong Chengchou's cronies, and his subordinates are Hong Chengchou's most relied on army, Cao Bianjiao didn't have any worries and directly said important things, and said his own suggestions.
"Huh?!" After listening to what Cao Bianjiao said, Hong Chengchou was taken aback, frowned, and after thinking about it seriously, he finally made up his mind, "What General Cao said is good, but the governor's consideration is not good, and he is in trouble." Someone!"
Hearing Hong Chengchou shouting, a lieutenant general waiting outside responded and replied, "What do you command?" ”
"Quick," Hong Chengchou hurriedly ordered, "immediately notify Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, and order him to rush to Bijia Mountain with eight thousand elite soldiers." Tell Tang Tong that if Jiannu comes to attack, defend it at all costs, and Bendu will also send other horses to support. ”
"Yes, sir," the lieutenant replied, and immediately turned and walked out of the line.
At this moment, a frightened shout came from outside: "Master Overseer, it's not good! With the shouting, a general rushed in with a sergeant covered in blood and tattered armor, and after the sergeant who looked miserable came in, he knelt down in front of Hong Chengchou with a plop and cried: "Master Inspector, Jiannu sneak attack on Beacon Mountain, Beacon Hill is lost, and our troops are ...... The whole army was annihilated, and the grain and grass were robbed......"
"What?" Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and the other generals in the tent, including Cao Bianjiao and Cao Yue, were stunned.
