Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 217 Wu Sangui's Plan
Seeing that Azige didn't say anything, Wu Sangui hurriedly told Azige what he was thinking while there was no one around.

"To send out troops today, I see that only one of Zhu Cihong's troops has come. Shi Kefa and Zhang Yong don't know where they are yet. This is a good opportunity. If we can take advantage of the small number of Zhu Cihong's troops, we can kill or capture him. Then the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will be defeated without attack, and the Ming Kingdom's territory of thousands of miles will surrender to us."

Wu Sangui tried his best to pretend to meet Azig outside the camp, just to suggest that he attack Zhu Cihong, not only for revenge, but also because this is indeed a good opportunity.

If he hadn't been preparing to ambush Shi Kefa and Zhang Yong's forwards of the Ming army today, they wouldn't have known that Zhu Cihong had come to Tongguan in person.

"Such a good opportunity is rare. Zhu Cihong fought me today. Although I lost about 3000 soldiers, he was not much better. Zhu Cihong's casualties were at least 2000."

Wu Sangui's guess was very accurate. Zhu Cihong's casualties were indeed more than 2000, but most of them were the injured, and most of the injured were minor injuries.

Very few people died on the spot. After all, Wu Jun is not a Gundam, and war is not a game. Although human beings are very fragile, they are not so fragile that they can be shot to death with an arrow, or hacked to death with a sword.

Severe weather and disease always cause the most casualties in war, and most of the casualties on the battlefield are mostly due to ineffective treatment by doctors, rather than dying on the spot.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong's troops suffered more than 2000 casualties, and in the end, only 800 people actually died and lost their combat effectiveness.

The more than 1000 people were bandaged, and they could recover almost after drinking the medicinal soup for a few days. After a month or so, they could rush to the battlefield like soldiers who had never been injured.

So in fact, Wu Jun's battle attrition was 3000 people, while Zhu Cihong's battle attrition was 800 people, and the number of deaths on both sides was about the same on the spot.

"Then why didn't you seize such a good opportunity and instead came to me." Azig sneered.

Although he is not very clever, it does not mean that he is stupid. At least he is a person who can be named a prince. He is unparalleled in the battlefield, has some extraordinary abilities, and is similar to ordinary people in other respects.

"Prince Ying, to tell you the truth, if I hadn't fought this battle in a daze, I would not have known that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would come here in person, even Prince Yu didn't know this beforehand."

Wu Sangui did not lie, and Azig also knew this. Originally, Duoduo sent Wu Sangui out to ambush the forwards of the Ming army, scare Shi Kefa and Zhang Yong, and prevent them from reaching the Tongguan battlefield quickly, so as to give them more Respite.

But people are not as good as heaven. Wu Sangui did not wait for Shi Kefa and Zhang Yong, but instead waited for Zhu Cihong. Zhu Cihong's troops are more powerful than Wu Sangui's, and the quality is not inferior to the Guanning Army he fought for the rest of his life. In terms of equipment It also has the supply from the entire southern China, the quality and quantity are very guaranteed, and Zhu Cihong provides a huge morale bonus.

Wu Sangui's failure is naturally expected.

"This is not the reason why you lost the battle." Azig thought that Wu Sangui wanted to shirk responsibility, so he accused him.

He hates people who shirk responsibility the most. Marching and fighting is a thing that cannot be sloppy. One is one, and two is two. Trying to shirk responsibility and confuse the facts is not good for everyone.

"Of course, hasn't the last general pleaded guilty to Prince Yu?" Wu Sangui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Azig, this guy, won't let go of Wu Sangui's handle.

At first glance, he looks like a stupid and thick guy, but he is actually very good at using his brain.

"Yesterday, the Ming army was not far away from us. By tomorrow, the Ming army might surround Zhu Cihong. I don't think your idea is right."

Although Azig didn't know why Wu Sangui didn't wait for the forwards of Shi Kefa and Zhang Yong's Ming army heavy troops today, but he knew that the Ming army's heavy troops were very close to here, and it could even be described as close at hand.

If you still want to sneak attack Zhu Cihong now, you will definitely be beaten to death. Although the regular army of the Ming army is good, but with the advantage of numbers and the firearms and long spear array of the Ming army, it can also make the Eight Banners army collapse a tooth.

"And even if you sneak attack overnight, you will definitely not succeed. You have ambushed someone today, and he must be prepared tonight. If you go to sneak attack, maybe I will never return."

"Don't be in a hurry, of course there won't be a surprise attack on the Ming army in these two days." Wu Sangui said.

"Then what's the use of you talking to me." Azige was angry, he felt that Wu Sangui was wasting his time.

These stupid Han people can only talk in an official tone all day long, talking useless nonsense, talking on and on for an hour without knowing what they are talking about, Azig hates this kind of behavior the most.

Seeing that Azige showed signs of rage, Wu Sangui had no choice but to tell him his intentions quickly. If he got angry with him and beat him up in public, that would not be fun.

"Prince Ying, please stay calm and don't be impatient." Wu Sangui waved his hands again and again to persuade him to appease his anger.

"Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Henan of the Ming army, and Liu Zeqing, Bo Dongping, have sent envoys to discuss with the general. They want to submit to the Qing Dynasty and fight against the rebels and the Ming court together. If the Ming army messed up their own battles."

"We can take advantage of this good opportunity to rush in. Qingqi rushes in quickly and takes Zhu Cihong's head straight. At that time, hundreds of thousands of dragons will be leaderless, and they will surely disperse." Wu Sangui finally told Azige about his plan. listen.

In fact, this is not only his plan, but also the idea of ​​Duo Duohe, Kong Youde and others. After all, fighting is a big event, and the Qing army is not a one-liner. It is more like a company founded by everyone, and it needs everyone's approval of the plan. up.

Therefore, the plan that Wu Sangui can come up with must be a plan that has been discussed by everyone and everyone is satisfied with it.

"You have a good idea. It would be such a joy to take the head of the Ming emperor from among the ten thousand armies." Azig said excitedly.

If he could really break into the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming army and kill Zhu Cihong, then he would be willing to let him die on the spot.

After all, it can be regarded as dying on the battlefield, and the best destination for a warrior is to die on the battlefield, let the war drums be the music of his funeral, let the arrows burn incense for him, and let the loess cover his body for him.

This is the first time Azig feels that Wu Sangui is not so useless, at least he can say something that makes him feel refreshed physically and mentally.
