Ming Zuo

Chapter 359 The Truth
The battle of Menglianggu brought the new army the greatest benefit, which was the experience in mountain warfare.

Therefore, when he decided to attack Mengshan, Zuo Menggeng was not in a hurry.Instead, he called on the whole army to carry out a great study, and be sure to spread the experience of mountain warfare to the grassroots.

The troops that participated in the Battle of Menglianggu before dispatched a large number of personnel to each regiment to serve as instructors to explain mountain operations.

This process, of course, is very long.

The new army completed the siege in early September, and until October, the battle did not start, but the whole army was learning.

Zuo Menggeng sits in Mengyin County, but he is familiar with world affairs.

All kinds of information gathered together, which really made him watch a big scene.

Because of the war in Liaodong, the speed of information transmission was much slower.Many times, it doesn't even pass.

However, Zuo Menggeng can still learn from the known information that the Ming army and the Houjin army are actually wolves and phoenixes.

All kinds of wars within the Ming army, guarding against each other, seriously affected the combat efficiency.After that, Jin Jun's side was similar, and there were not many things about demon moths.

The only difference is that Huang Taiji can master the situation of Houjin with one hand.

After all, he is on the front line, and the speed of solving it is far from what Chongzhen, who is far away in the capital, can compare.

Like the battle on August [-].

Originally, according to Huang Taiji's plan, a decoy plan was deployed.

He asked Yang Shan, Gong Adai, and Sudarla to stand on the edge of the ditch, and they would fight on the spot when the Ming army rushed up.Tulai and Nanchuhaksaha were located in the middle of the two yellow flags.

As a result, Zu Dashou just used a little trick to lure the enemy, and Tulai was fooled, forgetting his responsibilities and attacking against his orders.

Pulling one hair and moving the whole body, Tulai's attack forced Darhan, the forehead, to follow him.The rest of the soldiers and horses saw that the two yellow flags were fighting, and of course they could only follow.

The soldiers and horses of the two blue flags chased down the Jinzhou city and dismounted to fight on foot. Although the Ming army was forced into the trench, the Ming army in the trench could cooperate with the Ming army above the city, and the two blue flags suffered heavy losses. .

In this battle, Houjin lost many generals such as deputy general Meng Tan, deputy general Tumubulu, Beiyu Duobe, and guard Guo Li.

The most important thing is that because of Turai's reckless actions, Mergen Daiqing (Dorgon) Belle also led the army to attack, and he also encountered danger, which really scared Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji hated Tulai so much that even if Tulai was wounded heroically in battle, he still ordered the generals not to visit him.

The eunuch Yangguli and Gong Adai disobeyed the order and were sprayed with spittle by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji's approach seems to be ruthless, but in fact it shelters Tulai.

Because the biggest losses in this battle were the two blue flags, which were under Mangguertai.

Manggurtai was furious and furious. He wanted to find trouble with Tulai, Yanguli and others. As a result, he had the first conflict with Huang Taiji.

And the whole battle of Dalinghe is also the introduction of the conflict between Huang Taiji and Mang Guertai.

Zuo Menggeng looked at the information and couldn't help but ponder, wondering if there was anything to make a fuss about.

................................................

At the end of September, the Bohai Sea was freezing to the bone, and the fleet floating on the sea was surrounded by seawater on all sides, as if abandoned by the whole world.

And the people on the boat just feel the same way.

In the middle of a sand boat, a general is looking anxiously to the west, as if waiting for something.Standing next to him was a Westerner with yellow hair and blue eyes, but he was leisurely and leisurely as if it had nothing to do with him.

After a while, there was a wave of waves on the western sea.

After a while, several small boats approached, and one more general boarded the boat.

The general was impatient and hurried up to meet him. Before anyone could stand, he asked, "Brother Ruitu, how's the front, maybe landing?"

The visitor was covered in water vapor and was quite embarrassed, but his words were firm.

"Zongrong, the Sancha River has frozen, but the ice surface is still too thin to bear the load, and our army cannot cross the river."

Hearing the unfortunate news, the general almost laughed.Finally, taking into account the gazes around him, he forcibly endured it, and turned his head to ask the Westerner.

"General Silao, you have heard that the ice ahead blocked the way of my army. What should I do now?"

The westerner's eyes rolled around, and he stretched out his hand to feel the air.

"General Kong, are you sure it's really frozen?"

The visitor's face turned red, but he would not give in an inch.Not only him, but the soldiers around him also showed a fierce look, staring at the Westerners.

"General Silao, this will see with his own eyes that the Sancha River is indeed... frozen."

Feeling the murderous aura pervading, the Westerners immediately chose to follow their heart.

"Oh, it's unfortunate, it seems that God doesn't let us go to Dalinghe."

The general nodded heavily, relieved.

"God's will is so, what can I do?"

He and General Kong looked at each other again, and immediately moved.

"I ordered the whole army, the hurricane at sea was whistling, my navy was severely damaged, and the Sancha River was frozen, making it impossible to land. I will return to the Shuangdao immediately. After the repair is completed, I will send troops to the Daling River."

The officers and soldiers responded with a bang, and the slow movements were suddenly much quicker.The twenty-one sand boats completed their U-turn almost in the blink of an eye and went straight back to the original path.

..........................................

"My uncle is really naive. He even tried to send Dongjiang soldiers to Liaodong for reinforcements, hehe..."

Zuo Menggeng, who received the information, was baking potatoes, and there were Liu Yiyuan, Zuo Yong and others beside him.

Liu Yiyuan sneered again and again.

"At the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong. Dongjiang Town and Guan Ningjun were already on the same page. Now it's a mortal situation. How could they go to the rescue?"

Zuo Rong was more honest and asked doubtfully, "Didn't it mean that the fleet of Zhang Tao, Kong Youde and others had to return due to a hurricane?"

Zuo Menggeng sneered.

"It's early winter now, where did the hurricane come from?"

Others don't know much about Monsoon, but he is Men Qing.

The typhoon had long passed, and it even started to snow in Liaodong.

Zhang Tao, the former deputy chief of the Phi Island Association, and Kong Youde, the Dongjiang guerrilla, were just excuses, and they didn't want to go to Liaodong to die at all.

Kong Youde, a general in Dongjiang Town, was unwilling to go for granted, and even Zhang Tao, a close confidant of Sun Yuanhua, did not want to go, which shows the fighting spirit of the Ming army.

Liu Yiyuan looked over faintly, his eyes full of eagerness.

"Now all the troops and horses in Shandong have been withdrawn, and only our army is left. If it is launched at this time, it will be easy to capture the entire Shandong."

Zuo Menggeng shook his head, picked the baked potatoes out of the fire, and threw one away each.

"Not urgent."

Seeing that Liu Yiyuan was going to get to the bottom of it, Zuo Menggeng said it more bluntly.

"My uncle is the most persevering. Kong Youde and others think that they want to dispel his thoughts under the pretext of hurricanes and freezing. It is wishful thinking. Look, in less than a month, Dongjiang soldiers will still be forced to reinforce Liaodong. The waterway is dangerous. , then go overland."

Liu Yiyuan misunderstood.

"Are you waiting for the Dongjiang soldiers to leave? Are you more confident?"

Zuo Menggeng's eyes were full of contempt.

"What kind of thing is the Dongjiang soldiers, and it also deserves to hinder my new army soldiers? I am waiting for the Dongjiang soldiers to be unbearable and outrageously violent."

Everyone was shocked.

"Consultant, do you suspect that Dongjiang Town will rebel?"

Zuo Menggeng Zhizhu is in his hand, full of confidence.

"Not yes, but definitely. Liaodong, Dongjiang Town will never go there anyway. What else can you do when you are pushed to the limit? Of course it's the other way around."

At this point, he also revealed a little bit of his thoughts.

"Before the chaos of the White Lotus Sect, the social grassroots of Shandong were severely damaged. Especially the small and medium-sized landlords were completely lost. But those big landlords are still there, and they are also our obstacles. It is not convenient for us to deal with these people. But Dongjiang Town As for the rebels, it doesn't matter."

Everyone sipped the potatoes, but could not feel the aroma.

Because they were all shocked by Zuo Menggeng's plan.

Who would have thought that this man's plan would be so decisive and thorough?

At the end of September, Zuo Menggeng finally got the exact information about the mountains.

The thieves of the White Lotus Sect trapped in Mengshan are the remnants of Murong Cai.

In the past few months, something happened between Murong Cai and Dong Dacheng and Zhao Si, which caused Murong Cai to run away alone and hide in Mengshan Mountain. He would rather be surrounded by the new army than step into Nishan.

"No accident, it should be infighting."

Zuo Gui also came.

He has a daunting and secret mission, and at the same time, he has an insight into the internal situation of the White Lotus Sect.

The rivers and lakes are reckless, the one kneeling is Guan Erye, and what he does is all wrong.

What's the point?

"Zhao Si and Dong Dacheng are veritable masters of the White Lotus sect. Murong Cai used to be just a little scoundrel. Now that he has grown up, if he wants to be on an equal footing with those two, he will naturally become dirty."

People thought about it and thought that was the case.

Bai Xiaoqi was overjoyed and said with a smile, "That's easy to handle. When we fight Murong Cai, we are not afraid of colluding with each other and involving energy."

Zuo Menggeng also had the same idea, and the battle plan couldn't help being bolder.

He said to Zuo Rong: "On the first day of October, your West Group will take the lead in launching the attack. I don't care about the specific battle plan. I only have one request. I will take the Cao Cao Gu within two days and advance to Da Tian Gu."

Zuo Rong never compromised on orders, and immediately said: "Guaranteed to complete the task."
