Mu Jianming nodded as if he didn't understand: "So what does my father mean?" ”

Mu Tianbo pondered for a long time: "If there is no problem when the scouts report tomorrow, you take 2,000 Ming soldiers and 10,000 village soldiers out to pursue, as long as you bluff, don't chase them too quickly, lest the Qing army jump off the wall in a hurry, and also strictly guard against the ambush soldiers of the Qing army and the cavalry covering in the rear, no matter what, how many people go out, how many people you have to bring back." ”

Mu Jianming nodded and replied, "My son knows." ”

Mu Tianbo's face was suffocated, and he muttered again: "I don't know if the emperor's reinforcements have arrived, if the reinforcements arrive, Kunming City will be foolproof, by the way, have you read the palace report in the past few days?" ”

Mu Jianming coughed embarrassedly and said, "My son stays in the camp all day, how can he have the time to read the Di Bao." ”

Mu Tianbo waved his hand: "You have to see, you are still young, although you are familiar with the battle formation, you must also read more about the news in all aspects, so that you can be ambitious." After all, the commander is only a general, if you want to become a commander in charge, you must learn a lot of things from the various news of the newspaper, and some of the decrees promulgated by the emperor must be more careful, you must understand what the emperor is thinking, and you must know the emperor's intentions, such as laying the railroad tracks from Haidu to Kunming, why did the emperor spend so much money to build, what kind of benefits can the rails obtain, and what disadvantages, everything is good and bad, you have to analyze the gains and losses of everything, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, You have to count all of this, you know? ”

Mu Jianming nodded: "Father is a lesson." Children are taught

Mu Tianbo sighed and said: "Being a father doesn't want you to be a powerful minister, you need to know that loyal ministers and good generals also need to figure out the emperor's intentions." Do you understand? ”

Mu Jianming showed a painful expression on his face, obviously unable to stand his father's chatter, just lowered his head and kept saying yes.

Mu Tianbo shook his hand: "You go, be ready, if there is no accident." Tomorrow out of town. ”

"My son will go back to the camp first." Mu Jianming got up and retired.

Twenty miles outside the city. The Qing army gathered into a long snake that meandered. Continue to move in the direction of Guangxi. Behind them. It was tens of thousands of Eight Banners Guanning cavalry who came and went to echo the place, and they responded in the back.

Kanny and Zhao Fu walked side by side in the team. Kenny was clearly impatient. The army retreated for a full twenty miles. The scouts still found no sign of the city of Kunming. If the Ming army really did not go out of the city to pursue. That's a problem.

Zhao Fu controlled the horse's head unfazed. Coldly watching the Qing soldiers passing by, they took weak steps forward. Whether the Ming army went out of the city to pursue it had little to do with him. Anyway, this bad trick is also where Kanny came up with it. Although I support myself. But if the court wants to pursue it. That's Kanny to be the first bird. He hoped that the Ming army would not chase him out. The Guanning army has been in a state of collapse since the defeat of King Pingxi in northern Burma. It is urgent to expand the organization in Anyang, Guizhou. He'd rather go on like this. Back to Guizhou. That's where he goes. Even if it is to die for the Manchurians. Not at this time.

"Admiral Zhao. Will the Ming army chase after them? If they can't shrink back. What should I do? Kanny's face was full of worry. Follow the routine of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The Ming army should have poured out of the city a long time ago. How is it different.

"You're fucking shitty and shit. At this time, I asked about Lao Tzu. Zhao Fu scolded in his heart. His face was gentle and gentle: "Governor Niti doesn't need to be anxious. Our troops suddenly retreated. The Ming army was naturally suspicious. Scouts will be sent to spy on them. As long as we disguise it better. Don't be afraid that you can't lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Nikan exhaled. found a little comfort in front of Zhao Fu. Finally let go of some of the uneasiness of the ground. Forced smiled: "I think so too." It's just a hundred secrets. If something goes wrong, it's a disaster. ”

Zhao Fu stroked the horse's sideburns, looking relaxed and happy, and comfortably clamped the horse's belly and hurried forward a few steps: "What's the use of worrying, how can there be no uncertainties in the march and fighting, even if Zhuge Kongming is clever, isn't it six out of Qishan and suddenly return?" Everything is a destiny, and you can't force it. ”

Nikan nodded when he heard this: "That's exactly the truth. ”

At this time, a swift cavalry came from the back of the team and announced: "Lord Ni, Lord Zhao, the Ming army went out of the city and said, "How many people?" Where is it now? ”

The spy got off his horse and said a thousand words to Nikan: "Hui Ni, I am afraid that we are now fifteen miles behind us, there are more than 10,000 people, in front of the team are 2,000 Ming troops, and behind them are nearly 10,000 soldiers. ”

Nikan couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face, after all, Kunming City still only divided half of the troops to pursue, did not fall out of the city, even if he annihilated this team of people, it would take a lot of effort to capture Kunming City, but it was better than nothing, as long as this team of pursuers was eliminated, even if the army was led back to Guangxi, the imperial court would probably not be harsh, thinking of this layer, Nikan immediately became energetic, and it was really a good man, and his clever plan actually succeeded.

"Probe!" Zhao Fu looked a little surprised, he didn't think that the blind cat had really met the dead mouse, so he ordered the scout.

"Wow!" The spy flew on his horse, clamped the horse's belly in one go, and spurred the horse away.

Nikan rubbed his hands and said to Zhao Fu excitedly: "Admiral Zhao, now that the snake has come out of the cave, should we set up an ambush now?" ”

Zhao Fu's heart was sour, this time Nikan was crooked, but the credit was not his own, but the battle was imminent, and he could only plan hard: "No, the Ming army has just left the city, and it must be timid, this scene has to be played again, and when they confirm that our army is really retreating, they will definitely speed up, and we will give him a head-on blow." ”

Nikan was already overjoyed, and his face was full of disdain for Zhao Fu's caution: "Otherwise, there are many dreams at night, the Ming army finally came out, and we have enough cavalry to detour, what are you afraid of him?" Admiral Zhao rest assured, if you win this time, your credit will be indispensable in the excerpt of the victory, I Nikan is not a person who is greedy for merit, okay, you and I will prepare separately, and set up an ambush here. ”

Zhao Fu's heart was on fire, he was kind enough to plan for him, this guy actually thought that he was jealous of his merits and deliberately made him a mix, when it came to this, he no longer persuaded him, turned his horse's head and said: "Then Ini Admiral is dispatched, Zhao has a word first, this credit Zhao is not touched, but if something goes wrong, you will bear it, Zhao does not dare to accompany him." ”

The Ming army went out of the city, in Mu Jianming's view, if the Qing army was really defeated and retreated, two thousand Ming troops and 10,000 village soldiers were enough to pursue, what he was worried about was that the Qing army would retreat and lead himself out of the city for a decisive battle.

The mighty Ming army is divided into left and right wings, slowly moving forward, sometimes there will be Qing scouts in the distance to probe back and forth, Mu Jianming ordered a few cavalry to pursue, but after all, the scout's horse is fast, and when he sees someone chasing him from afar, he turns his horse and flees, and after a few hours, he only chases a Qing scout who has lost his front hoof.

Mu Jianming didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arrested the scout for interrogation, and the tough Qing soldiers softened after having one ear cut off by a few village soldiers, and honestly explained the number of Qing troops, and told Mu Jianming that the news of the Qing army's retreat was true, and this was a joint order from Governor Ni and Governor Zhao.

This kind of small character naturally couldn't ask for any news, Mu Jianming let him go after confirming that the other party was not lying, and the army still pursued forward at a snail-like speed.

Finally, the first group of scouts flew back, and after the scouts dismounted, they knelt down and said, "My lord, a large number of cavalry are moving towards our army seven miles from the northeast corner. ”

Hit the trick! Mu Jianming reacted immediately, he began to calmly calculate the time, the cavalry moved faster, but in this mountainous environment in Yunnan, it was only twice as fast as the foot soldiers, If the army was brought back to the city, these cavalry would just catch up with him outside the city of Kunming, and then the open land outside the city would be the battlefield, which would be quite unfavorable for the foot soldiers.

Another problem came out, Yunnan is full of mountains, the Ming army can naturally stick to the mountains, those cavalry in the hills and woods can not play a combat power at all, but in this way the army will lose the time to return to the city, once the cavalry will surround the army in the mountains, the Qing army's rear team will follow closely behind, with 10,000 against 60,000, and surrounded by the enemy, not to mention him Mu Jianming, even Li Dingguo will be helpless here.

Mu Jianming looked at the surrounding terrain, the mountains in the northeast were rolling and there was no end in sight, if you want to deal with cavalry, there is the best place, this is Yunnan, the Qing army is lone and deeper, even if you can surround yourself for a while, can you surround yourself for a lifetime? As long as the reinforcements who insist on Haidu arrive, the siege will naturally be solved, and the top priority is not to lead the Qing army to the decisive battle under the city of Kunming, where the terrain is flat, and the army only has two thousand firecrackers who restrain the cavalry, and most of the rest are the soldiers who rely on their legs to kill the enemy, and the artillery on the city is even if they want to help the battle, but there is a melee below, which can not have any effect at all, therefore, delaying time is the top priority at the moment.

"The order was given to the army to advance to the northeast and dig and build defenses at the foot of the mountain." After weighing, Mu Jianming gave an order.

The army turned around and moved eastward, moving towards the northeast, a big battle was about to begin, Mu Jianming could almost hear the sensation of the horse's hooves, and the ten thousand sabers shone in the sun.

"Hurry up." Mu Jianming kept urging, and dozens of toasts and leaders also felt that the situation was serious, so they went back to the headquarters to urge.
