~~~~~~~~

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ruyi did not hesitate to get the holy decree as he wished, and gathered more than 50,000 troops under his command, sorted out his bags, packed his equipment, and prepared to march towards the heart of the Manchu defense line.

Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, He Renlong, Wang Pu, Ma Ke and other generals also got the news at this time, and rushed to the Caishi Army camp, hoping to persuade Liu Ruyi and dispel this crazy idea.

After all, if Liu Ruyi and the Caishi Army were to lose, then with their strength, they would not be able to resist the sharpness of the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Manchu Eight Banners.

Liu Ruyi glanced at the generals with a smile, "The generals don't have to be so frustrated, although my Caishi Army took the initiative to go out this time, who wins and who loses, it is still in the will of heaven!" Everyone has such an attitude, but are you not optimistic about my expedition? ”

Yang Guozhu hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, general, we have no such intention!" It's just that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful and the cavalry is sharp, if we don't have a complete grasp, we will all ......"

Hu Dawei also said: "General, my tiger also means this!" You are our backbone! At this moment, don't rush in! ”

Ma Ke's originally fat round face turned into a bitter gourd at this time, "General, my old horse came from Shanhaiguan, and I have witnessed the determination of the Qing army to enter this time!" They are almost ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and almost all of the large and small cities in the pass have garrisons! If you want to take the initiative, this, this is really unwise! ”

He Renlong also wanted to say something, but since the Battle of Huguang, he was a little afraid of Liu Ruyi's might and opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, but the nervous expression on his face betrayed his mentality at this time.

Wang Pu is much more peaceful, among the generals, he is the only one who has a truly pure and delicate friendship with Liu Ruyi, and he knows that since Liu Ruyi chose to do this, there must be his reasons.

He came to Liu Ruyi's side, and did not block him like the generals, but said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, if you have decided to go on the expedition this time, my brother has nothing else, I just hope that Brother Liu you can bring my Datong army with you!" Although the combat strength of my Datong Army is not as good as that of the Caishi Army, in the past few years, the sons and daughters are also sharp men, and they are the worst, and they can also help you share some of the pressure! ”

Wang Pu said this very truthfully, and the implication was that he was going to live and die with the Caishi Army.

Liu Ruyi was also slightly moved in his heart.

Although Wang Pu has such and such shortcomings, and he is full of the cunning of a businessman, he has no second heart for himself! In other words, he has put his fate on himself.

Liu Ruyi did not answer the generals' words directly, but said to Wang Pu with a smile: "Brother Wang, how does Zhezhe taste?" ”

Since the Battle of Songjin that year, all the booty captured by the Caishi Army has been given favors by Liu Ruyi, and Wang Pu is the closest to Liu Ruyi, and he got the best - Huang Taiji's queen Zhezhe.

Wang Pu was stunned for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He didn't expect that at such a moment, Liu Ruyi would ask such a private question.

Rao is he has been through the flowers for a long time, but at this time, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, this, where is this!" Brother, I'm a serious person! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Liu Ruyi glanced at the faces of the generals at this time, and said lightly: "I have made up my mind, and the generals don't need to persuade again!" Our Ming Dynasty has been fighting with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades, and it should be time to completely separate the winner and loser! However, I am afraid that you will not have much time to be idle when I go on this expedition! I'll send someone to inform you as soon as possible! At this time, what you have to do is to hold the Tongzhou camp! Tongzhou is my nine-sided heart, and the stakes are very high, so don't slack off! ”

At this point, the generals also understood that the matter was irreparable, so they had to nod their heads and say yes.

Liu Ruyi turned his head to look at Wang Pu at this time, "The Datong Army has always cooperated with the Caishi Army, and it is the most reliable partner of my Caishi Army!" This time, General Wang, you will go out with my Caishi Army! ”

Wang Pu couldn't help but be overjoyed, at the last moment, he finally caught Liu Ruyi's last train!

"General, don't worry! In one hour, the Datong Army will definitely be ready! Wang Pu patted his chest and reassured, and then, he quickly whipped his horse and rushed straight to his Datong army camp.

~~~~~~

An hour and a half later, the sun was already high in the sky, and the air was filled with a faint heat, but a light breeze from the north dispelled much of the midday heat.

At this time, more than 50,000 colored stone troops, under the personal leadership of Liu Ruyi, walked out of the canal camp and slowly marched towards the east.

On the side, Wang Pu's more than 10,000 Datong troops were also fully armed, clinging closely to the left flank of the Caishi Army Brigade.

Liu Ruyi was dressed in gold armor and wore a golden helmet, riding on a tall black sweaty and bloody horse, surrounded by hundreds of elite soldiers.

Wang Pu was naturally not polite, dressed in silver armor, and also rode on a jujube-red BMW, slightly half a position behind Liu Ruyi, and walked with Liu Ruyi.

"General, we have such a big momentum, presumably Huang Taiji has already gotten the news! I'm afraid they might do it on their march! Wang Pu said with some concern.

has fought with Huang Taiji several times, and Wang Pu also deeply understands Huang Taiji's temperament, that is, a hungry wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones!

In the face of this kind of opponent, you must relax at all times, otherwise, you will end up with no bones left!

Liu Ruyi didn't have much expression on his face, and said lightly: "Brother Wang, don't worry!" This time, I just want Huang Taiji to see! If you are not afraid that he will come, you are afraid that he will not come! ”

Seeing Liu Ruyi's confident appearance, Wang Pu nodded, and he also had some confidence in his heart!

Without him, for his brother Liu, countless times of practice have proved that there will be absolutely nothing wrong with following him!

More than 60,000 troops marched all the way, and the sentinels of the Caishi Army and the Datong Army were like dense nets, constantly spreading around.

There are more than 50,000 Caishi troops, but the cavalry is not more than 10,000, only more than 7,000, less than 8,000, but under Wang Pu, although there are only more than 10,000 people, almost everyone has horses, all of them are cavalry.

Moreover, the war horses of the Datong Army under Wang Pu are all Mongolian war horses, and there is almost no difference between them and the war horses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is also the best breed of East Asian war horses in this era, although they are not too tall, but they are good in endurance, explosiveness is also good, all aspects of attributes, extremely balanced, rarely go wrong!

In this way, the intelligence work around the army will be more guaranteed.

Wang Pu's more than 3,000 guerrilla cavalry weapons were all scattered in all directions, although they were exploring the movements around them.

War, no matter when and where, first-hand intelligence, is absolutely the key to the key!

At this time, in the face of the extremely mobile Eight Banners Iron Horse, Liu Ruyi did not dare to be careless in this regard!

However, although there were many Qing army sentries around, they did not dare to approach when they saw the size of the army and the banner of the colored stone army, but they only followed from a distance.

Wang Pu was very dissatisfied with this, "Brother Liu, these dog tartars are really annoying!" Why don't we pause here for a moment, and I'll go and kill all these shuffles!" ”

Liu Ruyi smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Wang, don't be angry!" Flies are flies, and it's a good thing to keep them with us! ”

"A good thing?" Wang Pu couldn't help touching his brain, but he saw that Liu Ruyi didn't want to explain, so he could only keep the question in his heart.

~~~~~

The army did not march fast, and in one afternoon, it only walked out of less than twenty miles, and in the evening, Liu Ruyi ordered the army to set up camp on the edge of a small stream.

Here, the famous Wujiazhuang, is located on the boundary between Tongzhou and Xianghe, the terrain is relatively flat, in terms of defense, there is basically no external force that can be helped, and it is not the best place to camp.

But this was Liu Ruyi's choice, and Wang Pu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to do as ordered, and at the same time, he increased the patrol of the peripheral scouts.

Standing by the clear stream, Liu Ruyi's state of mind was extremely relaxed.

At this moment, Huang Taiji categorically will not fight with himself.

The reason is actually very simple, if you take the initiative to attack, Huang Taiji will inevitably think that you still have a strong backhand, and the Ming Dynasty is desperate for this battle, but in fact, why not the Manchu Dynasty?

Therefore, without finding out the specific situation of the most difficult situation, Huang Taiji never dared to make the slightest move.

However, Liu Ruyi didn't dare to be too careless, the defense work of the camp could not be ambiguous at all!

The night of early summer is not too hot, and the breeze by the river, like a girl's soft little hand, caresses people's faces, very comfortable and comfortable.

At this time, the camp is centered on a creek and is lit up everywhere, which spoils some of the natural freshness of the atmosphere, but gives people a sense of security.

Liu Ruyi put his hand into the clear stream, which was slightly cool, but not cold, very pleasant.

The reason why we chose to camp in a place with water is because, affected by the climate of the Xiaoice period, the weather in the north is generally dry, and the rivers are much less than usual.

Water is the source of life.

Marching to fight, even more so.

Sitting down on the bluestone by the stream, stretching his feet into the stream, and looking up at the dark sky in the distance, Liu Ruyi's heart gradually calmed down.

Although he took the initiative to attack this time, this battle is not completely tough, and he still has to rely on some ingenuity!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had more than 100,000 iron cavalry, and the ability to charge head-on was almost unrivaled in this era.

Even though the colored stone weapons are sharp, but they have lost the support of their positions and cities, and if they want to fight them, they will definitely pay a huge price.

Therefore, the initiative in this battle, in fact, is still in the hands of Huang Taiji.

In this way, Liu Ruyi must sell the flaws by himself, make Huang Taiji's heart move, make him have desire~ hope, and want to eat himself in one bite and find himself a decisive battle.

The gap between this is the opportunity for the Caishi Army to decide the battle!

It's just that although the truth of this matter is simple, but in practice, I am afraid that it is extremely difficult!
