Chapter 332: Planning

When night fell, the camp of the Ming army was brightly lit, and countless heavily armed sergeants patrolled around the camp, and there were countless horses with sharp teeth and dense iron thorns outside the camp.

"Haha......"

"Come on,!"

"General Yang is mighty! Beat the tartars to the ground! ”

In the camp of the Ming army, all the generals raised their bowls one after another to congratulate Yang Guozhu on today's achievements, but now is an extraordinary period, and alcohol is absolutely forbidden in the army, so everyone has to use tea instead. Despite this, it could not hide the joyful atmosphere in the tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Guozhu's face was also filled with joy, today's battle has vented all the grievances suffered by these people, annihilating more than 1,000 enemies and nearly 2,000 people, but he has only suffered more than 10 casualties.

However, Yang Guozhu was finally not carried away by this victory, and knew that if there was no help from Pang Gang's artillery today, even if he could win, his Xuan army would inevitably suffer heavy losses. He picked up a bowl of tea and said to Pang Gang: "Mr. Pang, I can win today, brother, thanks to your artillery help, otherwise I will have to suffer a big loss, come, brother, I will give you a cup." ”

Yang Guozhu is over forty years old this year, his qualifications are very old in the army, even the veteran of the army of Shanxi General Hu Dawei is only on a par with him, although he is very arrogant in doing things, and even dares to fight high dives, but he still has great respect for a veteran like Yang Guozhu. Now Yang Guozhu took the initiative to toast with Pang Gang, that is, he took the initiative to recognize Pang Gang's status, implying that the other party already had the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with him, which is not a kind of affirmation and recognition of Pang Gang.

Although this kind of affirmation and recognition cannot be put on the surface, for the Ming military clique, which is a collective that attaches great importance to seniority, gaining the recognition of a veteran general is very beneficial to Pang Gang's future development.

Seeing that the other party was giving himself face like this, Pang Gang naturally couldn't help but carry it, and quickly stood up and drank the bowl of tea with a bowl in both hands.

"Good!" Lu Xiangsheng on the side was also very happy to see that his generals could be so harmonious, and he smiled with his long beard in his hand: "You can be so harmonious and friendly, the official is very happy, the ancients and the Yun brothers worked together to break the gold, and the same is true in this army, if you can have the strength to make it together and help each other, why worry about the Tartar captivity!" ”

Now Pang Gang has been compared with the small thousand households when he was King Qin last year, and now Shandong can be said to be in his hands, and there are tens of thousands of tiger soldiers under his command, whether it is equipment or training, it is already a strong army of the first class of the Ming Dynasty, just say that the more than 10,000 Qingzhou troops he brought this time, whether in terms of number or quality, are already the most powerful force in the hands of Lu Xiangsheng at this moment, so for Pang Gang Lu Xiangsheng can only use gentle means to show goodwill at this moment.

After Pang Gang thanked Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu, he couldn't help but remind the elated appearance of the generals: "Inspector Lu, General Yang and General Hu, generals, we have won a big battle today, and the last general should not have said something that disappoints the fun, but some of the words will feel that it is better to say it, if it makes Inspector Lu and you unhappy, I hope you Haihan." ”

"Haha...... Brother Pang, it's okay for you to say it, we still need to be taboo about this! Hu Dawei, who was in a good mood, laughed on the side.

Pang Gang nodded slightly at Hu Dawei to express his gratitude before he spoke: "Today, it seems that we have won a big victory, annihilating nearly 2,000 Tartars, and we have only lost more than a dozen people, which is a great victory in any dynasty and generation." But let's also see that today's big fight with us is mainly the Mongols' Mongolian Eight Banners, and the rest are some miscellaneous auxiliaries, these are just substitute ghosts used by the Tartars to consume our strength, and the regular Tartar elites are still watching the show. ”

"Mr. Pang is right." Lu Xiangsheng agreed on the side: "The Tartars have always been cunning, they have always used the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty as the vanguard, and their real elite is to pick up the bargain behind, and the casualties of those Mongols cannot make them break their bones, so the governor of Pontus feels that the battle will be more intense." ”

Speaking of this, seeing that everyone's expressions were slightly disappointed, Lu Xiangsheng said again: "Of course, General Yang has made such a great contribution today, and the governor naturally wants to write a report and present it to the emperor to learn, and he will never disappoint the meritorious soldiers, although Yang Zongbing can rest assured." ”

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng say this, Yang Guozhu's face looked better, only Pang Gang was gnawing on a piece of horse meat on the side, for Pang Gang now, a big victory or something is a floating cloud for him, the greater the credit he makes, I am afraid that Chongzhen's suspicion of him will be deeper. Otherwise, with his merits in annihilating six or seven thousand Tartars in Liaodong, it would not be too much to confer a knighthood on him.

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Pang Gang who was eating apologetically, the corners of his mouth moved, and then he swallowed what he was about to say, he knew that he couldn't convince this unruly general with heavy troops, just as he couldn't convince the Chongzhen Emperor who was very suspicious.

Thousands of words poured into his mouth, but finally turned into a sentence, "Let's rest as soon as possible after eating, there is still a big war waiting for us!" ”

Different from the atmosphere in the camp of the Ming army, which won the first battle, the atmosphere in the camp of the Qing army was relatively dull and dignified.

Du Du sat at the hands of Yue Tuo and Dolgon, his face was depressed, today's battle can no longer be described as "bad", it can be said that it is very bad.

Thousands of troops were gathered to attack a defensive line of the Ming army, and nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded without even touching the corners of people's clothes, which was enough to make Du Du unable to raise his head for several years.

However, although Dudu suffered a defeat, the two brothers, Dorgon and Dodor, who had always been unpleasant to them, strangely did not take the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks, but sat on the sidelines and frowned and thought about their thoughts.

In the end, it was Yue Tuo who spoke first, and he asked Dolgon, "Prince Rui, we really didn't fight well today, what are your clever plans?" ”

Dorgon smiled and said, "There's no solution, but there's a solution." ”

"Oh, if Prince Rui has any way, you might as well speak it and listen to it." Yue Tuo asked with interest.

Dolgon said: "Everyone has seen the situation of today's battle, think that Jiazhuang is surrounded by water on one side, the enemy on three sides, the narrow area on the east and west sides is not conducive to the development of the brigade, if we insist on rushing up, we can only become the target of the Ming army, their artillery can shoot us without scruples, but our strength advantage can not be reflected, if you want to give full play to our advantages, there is only one way, launch a full-scale attack." ”

"All-out attack?" Yue Tuo's heart moved slightly, and then he said, "In that case, the casualties of the warriors in our clan will be large. ”

When he heard Yue Tuo's mention of the four words warriors in the clan, he specially accentuated his tone, and Dolgontun also understood what Yue Tuo meant, he said that if a full-scale attack was launched, then the strength of the Qing army's eight banners would also have to be pressed up, so that the Qing army could not just stand behind and watch the play and play the role of supervising the battle team, but also have to play with their lives with knives like those soldiers of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, all-out attack!" Facing the puzzled gaze of the generals, Dolgon had to explain: "Since our strength is several times that of the Ming army, we have to take the opportunity to attack with all our might, after all, anything can happen on the battlefield, if the Ming army sends any reinforcements to support them, we will be passive." ”

Yue Tuo said in a deep voice: "But once a full-scale attack is launched, do you know how much casualties we will pay?" ”

"Yes, if you attack in an all-out way, you can naturally quickly solve these Ming troops, but the casualties are too large to explain to the emperor." The surrounding generals are also talking.

Although they are all generals of the Qing Dynasty, and they are also prepared to pay heavy losses before coming here, they are all human beings after all, so they naturally have the special surname of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, not to mention that they also belong to different banners, so they naturally don't want their strength to be consumed too much.

But Dolgon smiled and said: "Don't worry, the surnames of our Qing warriors are precious, I naturally won't take the surnames of the Qing warriors to squander them casually, aren't there still tens of thousands of captured Han people in the camp of our army this time, let's just let them charge for us this time, I want to see how many gunpowder and projectiles these Han people can waste on these Han people." ”

Yue Tuo's eyes flashed with coldness, but he nodded again and again, "Yes, Prince Rui is right, although the firearms of the Han people are sharp, but after all, the number is limited, and it is impossible to put them down endlessly, let's use these Han people to consume their firearms, I see if they have the courage to kill all these Han people." If they had the guts, they wouldn't have killed him, and their own emperor and those imperial histories would have eaten them alive. ”

"That's right!" At this time, the Qing generals in the big tent also shouted.

"Use those cowardly Han dogs to consume their own people's ammunition, let them kill their own people softly, let's just watch the excitement from the sidelines, this is what we should do."

As soon as Dolgon's words came out, the big tent suddenly boiled, and all the generals praised this plan, anyway, the tens of thousands of Han people he captured this time will all drive them to the front tomorrow to see how they kill their own people. If they don't kill them, then wait for the Qing warriors to break through their defenses, and then the whole army will be annihilated!

Thinking of this, all the Qing army generals were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and a burst of ghosts and wolves howled in the big tent suddenly sounded......
