When Niu Wancheng had the courage to follow the "pursuit" of the Ming army, Wang Wu had already led people into Daping.

This place is less than fifty miles away from Lao Mugang.

The Ming army set up a transit contact point similar to a post station here, and the military post was set on fire by the Qing army after the rebellion of Tianheng and Wanhe.

Wang Wu still led the "pigtail soldiers" and the pro-soldier team to play the green flag in front and pretend to be the Qing army;

Ma Sizhong, Zhang Tianwang and others led the rest of the soldiers and their families to follow behind.

The two teams were less than five miles apart.

In addition to protecting the families of women and children and carrying necessary food, the rear team also undertook the task of breaking the back.

That is, in case a Qing army comes from the rear, Ma Sizhong and Zhang Tianwang have to lead their soldiers to block it.

The Qing army must not be allowed to rush across the rear team and threaten the front team, otherwise the Ming army's eastward rescue plan will be "stillborn".

The so-called resistance is probably fighting to the death.

Even though Wang Wu commanded this small Ming army to achieve several victories, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers, it still could not change the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the western and eastern fronts, even the more than 30,000 Shaanxi green battalion soldiers on the northern front can pinch them to death casually.

It's like an ant, even if it has wings, it's still a flying ant that can't bite an elephant.

If this ant wants to survive, it has to keep moving, using all means to save itself and fight the enemy.

But once the enemy discovers their presence and bites it, it will be difficult for this ant to escape.

After all, they are too small.

Wang Wu knows this in his heart, and Ma Sizhong and Zhang Tianwang are also clear.

Everyone is now just holding on to the determination to die, to fight for that slim and even negligible opportunity!

Therefore, the whole team is ready to sacrifice.

Zhang Tianwang even made a "mobilization" for his family members, that is, women and children must die for the country when things are not done, and they must not fall into the hands of the Qing army.

The family members in the Ming army were basically the wives and children of the Zhang clan and the villagers who initially raised troops with Zhang Tianwang, most of the men died in battle, and the rest of these old and weak women and children followed Zhang Tianwang from Hubei to Hunan, and finally went to the Kuidong Mountains at the junction of the three provinces, I don't know how much suffering and how many sins they suffered.

The ordeal made these women and children stronger, and made them less weak and impervious, and some women were even able to go into battle to kill the enemy like men.

It was the same as the female battalion led by Mrs. Gao when the Loyalty Battalion was first established.

When the Qing general Niu Wancheng was lured into the ambush circle, it was Zhang Tianwang who proposed to send some female dependents who could run to hold their children to confuse the Qing army, and the Qing army really fell into the plan.

Fortunately, the Shaanxi Green Battalion on the northern front did not send troops and horses to Huachanggou, and it may be that the thousands of Ming army intelligence brought back by Taabai and Li Juqing affected the judgment of Bao Zhao, the chief soldier of Hebei Town, so that he did not dare to send troops easily.

In this way, the Ming army was able to advance eastward smoothly.

Wang Wu's tactic is to impersonate the Qing army to the end, deceive if you can, and fight if you can't.

In order to speed up the march, it is necessary to march in the dark at night, and in any case, it is necessary to reach Laomugang within two days.

Because, the situation is already urgent.

More than an hour ago, Xu Lin, who was at the front of the team and led people to explore the way, caught a few live mouths.

It was the Qing army that returned to Zhushan City from Lao Mugang to report the news.

One real Manchuria, three Aha.

According to the Eight Banners system, the personnel in the flags are divided into three classes when they are outside the customs.

The first class is Qiding, that is, the real Manchuria.

It is mainly the Jurchen who first attached to Nurhachi when he started a foundation outside the Guan.

The second class is the armored people, most of whom are other Jurchen ethnic groups who fought for Manchuria after the surrender, including Koreans, Japanese people, and Mongolians.

The third class is Aha, that is, slaves, mostly Han Chinese.

After the Qing army entered the customs, due to the frequent wars, the loss of Zhenman was too great, so the people in armor gradually became Zhengding, and after a long time, they became Zhenman.

The Armored Man also evolved into a true Manchurian pronoun.

But Aha still remained.

Its nature is the same as Baoyi, the difference is that Aha is a slave of an ordinary Manchurian flag family, and Baoyi is a slave of the royal family.

As a slave, Aha has to follow his master on expeditions in addition to working for his master's family on weekdays.

The general combat effectiveness is not low.

After accumulating enough military merits, they can also gain a future, and they can even be promoted to real Manchuria and become a member of the Glorious Banner, so that their wives and daughters will no longer have to serve their masters and gain real freedom.

This made the Han Aha very eager to go out with his master, and he was also very active on the battlefield, and he could be said to be the right-hand man of the Manchurian soldiers.

In this encirclement and suppression of Lao Mugang, the Manchurian Eight Banners under the command of Du Min, the deputy commander of Xi'an, had only three assistants and less than 800 people, but there were more than 1,200 Aha in the army, which was equivalent to one and a half Manchurian soldiers with one and a half Ahab.

Because he didn't know that the rear was being taken by the Ming army, Amida, a Manchurian who was ordered to go to Zhushan County to report to General Xi'an, did not suspect that there was anything wrong with the dozen or so green battalion soldiers who came in front.

When they found out that something was wrong, the three or four of the green battalion soldiers dealt with one person, some covered their mouths and necks, some pressed their hands and feet, and restrained them in the blink of an eye.

Knowing that the Eight Banners had been arrested in front, Wang Wu hurriedly brought someone over for interrogation.

Not surprisingly, the Manchurian didn't open his mouth at all, and as a result, he was ordered by Wang Wu to cut off his head and kick off the cliff.

The other two Ahabs refused to give any information and were also killed.

The last Aha had a psychological breakdown and cried and confessed.

According to this Aha's confession, the Qing army has captured the main village of Laomugang, and Liu Tichun, the prince of Ming and Anhui, under the protection of the remnants, moved to the area of Beilizhuang with thousands of Ming army families.

Beilizhuang is the children's camp where Wang Wu stayed when he was a teenager.

There are canyons on three sides, and it is a Jedi.

If it weren't for the last resort, Liu Tichun would not have retreated to the Jedi with his family!

Wang Wu's heart was immediately heavy, but what Na Aha said next made him feel like he had been hammered.

Shaanxi Guogong Dang Shousu and Yidu Houta Tianbao surrendered to the Qing army in Fengling Cave southeast of Laomugang two days ago!

Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao are all veterans of the Shun army who fought with Li Zicheng in the early years, and like Ma Tengyun, they are all big heroes in the minds of the Shun army soldiers, and they were all knighted by the Ming Dynasty, but they both surrendered when Lao Mugang was besieged, once this matter spreads, it will undoubtedly cause irreparable consequences.

"Captain,"

Tian Wen looked at Wang Wu with a bitter face, although there was no follow-up, Wang Wu knew that the other party must have been distracted by this news, lost his fighting spirit, and even lost his confidence in rescuing Liu Tichun.

"Fifth brother!"

Gou Yu also looked at the fifth brother who treated him the best in his mind a little blankly, and his eyes seemed to ask: Do we still want to fight?

The dumb Zhu San, the blind Wan Si, Zhao Jinzhong, Cao Diwei, Xu Lin, Na Zhushan Jiang Tiancheng, Yunyang Dong Da and others were all looking at Wang Wu.

Everyone had different eyes.

Wang Wu didn't speak, but just walked up to Na Aha and looked at the extremely frightened Aha with dozens of breaths, and suddenly his hand rose and fell.

The head fell to the ground and rolled down the cliff.

"I said that those who are willing to die with me will die together, and those who are not willing will turn back!"

After speaking, Wang Wu passed directly in front of everyone.

The crowd was silent for a moment before moving.

A pair of feet stepped over the ground without hesitation.
