Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 779

Time passed little by little, but there was no attack from Zhungeer's cavalry, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were waiting in full force couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing the sunset dye the sky red, if we don't fight, it will be dark this day.The soldiers of the Ming army couldn't hold back, so they rushed to Lu Daqi, the governor of Gansu.

Naturally, Lu Daqi was also paying attention to the movement of the enemy, but at this time, seeing that it was getting dark and the enemy hadn't moved at all, this situation was already obvious.

Seeing that all the generals under his command came to him, with an anxious expression on his face, he sighed and said, "The Zhungeer Department must have seen through our intentions, and they will not attack again!"

Hearing this, the generals of the Ming army were very resentful, but there was nothing they could do.

"Lord Zhongcheng, let's go out and kill every one we can!" Finally, a general couldn't hold himself back and said loudly to Lu Daqi.

Lu Daqi shook his head when he heard this, looked up at the banner of King Khan of the Zhungeer tribe, and said slowly: "Obviously, they won't fight us, and they will fight back when we are powerless. And... and... ..."

After saying it twice, he finally said it out: "Moreover, the Zhungeer Department has blocked the possibility of our escape at night. There is no place to hide. When the day breaks, this plain will be their world."

A general of the Ming army who didn't understand heard it, and immediately turned his head to look around, and found that groups of Zhungeer cavalry troops were mobilizing, and they were really going to block the road, so as not to let the Ming army have a chance to hide in the dark.

With a sound of "pa", a general of the Ming army punched the earthen wall very angrily, and punched a hole in it, but his fist was obviously bleeding, but he didn't see any pain on his face .

Lu Daqi glanced at him, sighed, and suddenly clasped his fists together, motioned to the generals of the Ming army one by one, and said with a bit of pain, "It's my incompetence that affects the whole army!"

At this time, it is useless to say these things.However, no matter what, Lu Daqi is a civil servant, the governor of Gansu, and their immediate superior. To admit his mistakes to military generals like them, even in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the status of military generals has improved a lot, is still a rare thing.

Many generals saw this, some were silent, some quickly clasped their fists in return, and some responded immediately: "These Tartars are too cunning, no one would have thought that they would come to Hami to ambush!"

Why not!Lu Daqi thought so in his heart, when the military discussion was held at that time, including Governor Hong, he also thought so. He felt that the Zhungeer tribe annexed other tribes, no matter how strong they were, they would not be stronger than the Ming army. Logistics is the target of the operation.

But at this time, it is said that these are over.

Lu Daqi said to them: "Now we have no choice but to stay in Hami and wait for help."

If he hadn't known that the reinforcements would not have arrived so early, he wouldn't have had a full meal and fought the enemy today.But right now, there is no other way, because he is in a desperate situation, so he can only pray for a miracle!

So, this night was passed safely again.It can even be said that it was much more peaceful than other nights, the Zhungeer department was far away, and there was no disturbance at all.

After dawn, Zhungeer's cavalry saw that the Ming army was still in Hami, and they couldn't help cheering one by one.How to fight next, they already know clearly.Looking at the Ming army in Hami at this time, it is like seeing a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, how can you be unhappy!

Although the Jungar tribe has paid a lot of price, this Ming army will eventually be wiped out.This great victory will not only frighten the Ming Kingdom, but also other tribes, and speed up the Jungar tribe's annexation and digestion of other tribes. In the Tianshan area, only the Jungar tribe is respected!
Baturhui was also in a good mood. Under the sunshine, with a smile on his face, he stood at a high point and watched the situation in Hami City. He smiled and said to his son Sengge: "The Ming army finished eating yesterday. For the last meal, starve him for another day, and after tomorrow, it's time for us to attack them!"

"Father Khan, it's better to starve them for another two days. No matter how elite they are, no matter how good their equipment is, they will lie on the ground and let us slaughter them!" Seng Ge immediately suggested.

After hearing this, Baturhui raised his head and looked east, shook his head and said, "calculating the time, nine days have passed since we raided Hami, and two days later, it will be eleven days. On the first day, the Ming army If the defeated pawn escapes, he must have already escaped into the pass. If the Ming army comes to rescue us if we delay any longer, it will be a waste of success.”

"From here to the pass, even if we travel day and night, it will take five days. And this speed, even if we arrive, the Ming army will still have the power to fight again?" Seng Ge listened, a little disapproving.

However, Baturhun still shook his head after hearing this, and did not accept Sengge's proposal.To him, the current Ming army is like a big mouthful of fat, which makes him want to eat it very much. Even if it is still hairy, he doesn't plan to shave it first, for fear that he won't be able to eat it later.There is that kind of peace of mind.

"Before launching the offensive tomorrow, take precautions, and don't give the Ming army a chance to bite before they die!" Baturhun looked around at the many leaders under his command, and commanded sharply.

"Obey!" His men shouted in unison, and then dispersed with high spirits.

Needless to say, during this day, the Ming army deliberately showed weakness, making the Zhungeer cavalry think that the Ming army was no longer able to do it, and exposed the breach of the siege, attracting the Zhungeer cavalry to attack.However, the Zhungeer cavalry army was completely indifferent.

This day passed so quietly again.

The soldiers of the Ming army actually ate a small amount before. Although they had a full meal, it was impossible for their physical strength to return to the usual level.In other words, it is even more uncomfortable to go hungry after a full meal.

After another day of starvation, many soldiers have lost their strength. If they are still alive, at least they still have water to drink, but if they want to hold weapons and start fighting, they will be a little powerless.

Seeing this situation, the hearts of many generals were heavy.It will take another two days, and it is estimated that everyone will not be able to stand up.Even right now, there are already soldiers who can't bear the heavy burden of armor on their bodies, and they are all dragging.

How to do?
There is no way!

Lu Daqi is old, and the situation is so severe, it is already a little bit to die.Even though there was no more food, and there was still a little food for him, he still lay on the bed, unable to get up again.

At noon, there was a sudden change in the cavalry of Zhungeer's troops. It didn't take long to confirm that they were preparing to attack Hami.

The news was immediately reported to Lu Daqi. When he heard about it, he immediately asked his guards to help him up and carry him to the roof. After confirming the movements of Jungar's army, he knew that the deadline had come, and he forced himself to bow in the direction of the capital. After bowing three times, he sat down under the big flag with the character "Lu", pulled out his sword, put it on his knees, and said to the generals: "See you at the Martyrs' Shrine!"

There was no fear or other emotions in his words. They were very calm, just like what he usually told him to do.

After hearing this, many generals of the Ming army clasped their fists and saluted him, and responded in a deep voice: "Goodbye at the Martyr's Shrine!"

Afterwards, they all dispersed, and within a short while, they heard voices sounding one after another in the city of Hami, with a firm and forceful tone: "Goodbye at the Martyr's Shrine!"

"You guys go too, kill as many Tartars as you can!" Lu Daqi said to the guards behind him, "Kill another Tartar for me!"

At this time, there is no need to say anything.

After hearing this, many guards clasped their fists to salute Lu Daqi, and then went downstairs to fight.

The wind in the Western Regions was stronger than that in the Guan, and it made Lu Daqi's white beard bend into an arc.He glanced at Hami and saw that after the generals went down, about half of the soldiers could put on their armor and stood up to fight.The other half of the soldiers were lying there, or leaning against the wall, but they were too hungry to stand up.

"They are all good men from Daming!" Lu Daqi suddenly felt very emotional at this moment.

Turning around and looking outside the city, I saw that the Zhungeer army had assembled and surrounded Hami on all sides. Obviously, they wanted to attack together from all sides, so they bullied the Ming army and there were not many capable fighters here.

He guessed right. At this time, Baturhun was making a final speech to his subordinates in high spirits: "Siege from all sides, even those in the Ming army who are still capable of fighting can't last long. One place After breaking through, quickly attack the Ming army that is still resisting."

"Obey!" Many bosses knew that victory was at hand, and they shouted excitedly in response.

Looking up at Hami City in the distance, and looking at the Gansu governor's handsome flag still fluttering in the wind in the distance, Baturhun pointed with his hand and said: "Hand over that flag for this Khan!"

Hearing this, the leaders responded immediately, and their morale became even higher.

The time should be almost up, Baturhun thought in his mind, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "No prisoners will be left in this battle, all of them will be beheaded by this Khan! I want the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to know, The Western Regions is not a place where he can reach out!"

His subordinates immediately yelled again, as if the Ming emperor had been frightened by them.But at this moment, Sengge had sharp eyes, and suddenly pointed to Baturhun and said, "Father Khan, look over there!"

Baturhun looked in the direction of his finger, and saw more than a dozen riders galloping towards the east. He didn't notice it before, but now he found that he was already a little closer to Hami.The Zhungeer cavalry around there did not move, obviously they were their own people.

Coming from the east, could it be...

When Baturhun thought about it, his heart suddenly sank: It should be impossible, absolutely impossible so fast!I estimated it myself, how could it be so fast if I started it in advance now, it is definitely not what I thought!

　I'm going to work on site next week, so I have to adjust my schedule.
