Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 238 Sneaking into the Qing Army Camp
At the same time, just when Zhu Cihong decided to personally lead people into the empty Qing army camp and burn it all down with a torch, Duoduo was also preparing to return to the camp, relying on the fortifications of the camp to resist the Ming and Shun forces. army attack.

"Everyone, retreat into the camp and stop fighting these Han people." Doduo issued his order.

After hearing this order, tens of thousands of Qing troops rushed into the camp. They either entered the barracks to repair and heal their wounds, or stood on the wooden walls of the camp, preparing to roll logs, stones, etc. just like the Han people did when defending the city. arrows.

Once the Ming and Shun armies come to attack, they will smash these things down hard, smashing their heads to pieces.

It's a pity that what they did today is doomed to be in vain, because Zhu Cihong has already entered the camp before them.

"Hurry up, take everything you can take away, and drive all the Tazi's cattle, sheep and livestock to our position."

In places where the Qing army has not yet entered, Zhu Cihuang is driving his subordinates to frantically plunder the supplies of the Qing army. He even let his subordinates come from the grasslands, know how to herd horses and sheep, and drive the livestock of the Qing army to his position. .

Anyway, this is the enemy's material, so don't want it for nothing. Although Zhu Cihong is the emperor of China and rich all over the world, Han has been ravaged by war for many years and has been weakened. Even filling the stomachs of the people has become a difficult task.

If it hadn't been for Zhu Cihong trying to extract some money from the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Cihong would not even be able to reach the Yellow River.

The tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock in the Qing army camp are even more precious wealth to Zhu Cihong.

With these cattle and sheep, discounting them in cash, Zhu Cihong would even have the money to pay bond interest in an instant, which shows how lucrative war is.

Of course, the premise is that you can win the battle. If you can’t win, you will have nothing, even your wealth and life will be taken away by the enemy. On the contrary, you can take everything from the enemy.

But when Zhu Cihong was busy directing the soldiers to carry the supplies of the Qing army, a bad news suddenly reached his ears.

"Your Majesty, the Qing army, the Qing army is back." A scout came to Zhu Cihong panting, and reported his latest military intelligence to Zhu Cihong.

Looking at his panting foreign devil, I believe he must have been riding a horse desperately to appear in front of Zhu Cihong so quickly.

Riding a horse is not a car, and it is also a very exhausting thing, much more tiring than driving a car or even flying an airplane.

You must know that horses are not machines. They have their own life and their own consciousness. Although they have been domesticated and obey the orders of their owners, they are still alive after all and cannot bring a comfortable experience to the rider.

"The Qing army is back? How many people are back?" Zhu Cixiang asked.

He didn't expect the Qing army to come back so soon, but it doesn't matter, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, if there are few Qing troops, then send some people to kill them all, if there are more Qing troops, then think about it Way to kill them all.

"They're all back," the scout replied.

"This is going to be difficult. Why are you coming back at this time, these rascals?" Zhu Cihong said sullenly.

It wasn't that he felt that the Qing army was so difficult to deal with, but that it was an unlucky time for the Qing army to come, which prevented him from looting more spoils from the Qing army's camp, which was very annoying.

If he could be given enough time, he would take away all the mountains of supplies that the Manchu Qing court had accumulated for the tens of thousands of Duoduo troops.

Then Zhu Cihong's cost of sending more than [-] troops to Tongguan to fight this time can almost be made up for.

"Tell the soldiers not to carry supplies, stand everywhere, listen to my order to light the fire, and once the fire is burning, run out of the camp and return to our army's position."

Now that the Qing army has come, they can no longer carry their supplies recklessly. If the Qing army kills them while they are carrying it, the scene will be embarrassing, and Zhu Cihong's trip will come to naught.

"By the way, order the various ministries to drive [-] cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock to the large and small passages in the Qing army camp, and then tie firewood and grease to the livestock."

"When my order is issued, I will light the fire with the Ming army everywhere, and burn all these Sao Tartars."

Zhu Cihong had already thought of a good way to deal with the Qing army, and that was to use fire.

The camp of the Qing army on the Tongguan battlefield was for temporary use, so it was built in a very crude way. It can only ensure that it will not be knocked down with a light touch, and it can shelter from the wind and rain.

In addition, during the construction process, a large number of things such as tents, wood, and furs were used. Once the fire burned, it would be irreversible.

Even if the fire brigade of modern society comes over, they will be helpless. After all, the fire scene is too big and full of flammable materials. Even if fire tanks and fire helicopters are moved over, there will be nothing to do.

Just as the Ming army was piling up the kindling materials in full swing, preparing to surprise the Qing army, Duoduo also found that some unexpected guests seemed to have come to his camp.

It's just that he didn't rely on the scouts' scouts or reports from his subordinates, but found out through the sounds of cattle and sheep in the camp.

The cattle and sheep in the camp are usually kept in captivity, and there are herdsmen to guard and raise them. There has never been a large number of livestock shouting together.

So Dodo felt that some people who shouldn't have entered into his camp disturbed the herd and made them cry out in panic.

It's just that Duoduo didn't expect that the uninvited guests who entered his camp would be Zhu Cihong and thousands of elite Ming troops. He thought it was the hungry people hiding nearby who couldn't stand the hunger, so he took the risk and came to his camp to find To steal food.

After all, tens of thousands of livestock were kept in captivity in the Qing army camp, not to mention that if you lose a few, you will not be found, even if you lose a few thousand, no one will find out unless you do a thorough investigation.

"Come on, ten riders, let me catch the mice that sneaked into the camp. Don't bring them to me, just hang their heads and corpses outside the gate." As he said, Doduo showed a cruel smile .

It was as if he had seen how the Han rats captured by the Eight Banners Knights howled in pain before they died, and how miserable they looked after death.

Drenched in blood, with his head in a different place, just thinking about it makes Doduo feel refreshed all over his body, which is more comfortable than being served on a big bed by ten stunning men and women.

It's a pity that Duoduo's idea is doomed to fail, and the one who is decapitated will definitely not be the Han rat he imagined, but him, a Tartar from outside the Great Wall.

However, it may not be possible that the head will be in a different place. After all, Zhu Cihong is already preparing to burn the Qing army's camp, and it is unknown if Duoduo was roasted to death.
