The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 69
Tongzhou City.

In the state government hall.

The red lady sat upright and raised her hands.On the left are Wu Sangui, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Wu Sanfu.

On the right are Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Fangliang, and Li Dakai.

Just yesterday, Liu Fangliang, deputy commander Wu Sanfu and Li Dakai were all promoted to commander-in-chief.

This makes Tongzhou at this moment the same as the Songjin battle, and once again assembled the eight generals.

Among them, the Wu brothers led [-] Guanning cavalry.

Liu Zeqing has [-] troops.

Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie each had more than [-] yuan.

And Hong Niangzi also divided the 11 people into three, letting Liu Fangliang and Li Dakai each command [-] troops, and she herself commanded the remaining [-].

However, the two are only commanders, and they cannot take the soldiers and horses as their own like other general soldiers.

Because these 11 people have long been devoted to the red lady, and all the generals, big and small, are also obedient to the red lady.

This is the charm of a noble concubine, the advantage of an emperor's woman.

That is to say, Hong Niangzi took the overall situation into consideration, didn't want to make people panic, and didn't secretly win over other generals under the command of the general army, otherwise there may be many people who are willing to serve.

The 30 army, although there are not many real elites, is definitely stronger than the eight generals in the Songjin Battle, and their morale is much higher.

The eight generals present here.

Except for Wu Sanfu and Li Dakai, the other six are veterans who have been fighting for more than ten years. They have fought countless battles and victories, and their experience in front of battle is extremely rich.

Leaving aside his loyalty and conduct, his military command level is enough to be called a good general.

After all, after more than ten years of fighting, even a pig is not far behind.

It's a pity that if you fight alone, everyone is a good player. If you get together, you will all be finished. This is the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Civilian officials fight among themselves, and military generals fight even more fiercely. It has become the norm to sell teammates before the battle.

It can be said that the five commanders present here have basically cheated their teammates and even their supervisors.

Wu Sangui sold Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting's death in Tongguan was inseparable from Gao Jie's escape.

"Snapped!"

"Everyone, the 30 horse infantry in the Jiannu area dared to take the initiative to attack my camp. They didn't pay attention to my [-] army and the generals. The soldiers can bear it, and who can't bear it. Who wants to lead the army to fight? A setback The enemy's vigor?"

The red lady slapped the desk, her pretty face flushed with anger.

The generals were also half-dead from the arrogance of the Tartars.

Huang Degong and Li Dakai went out first and said: "The last general is willing to fight!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Fangliang and Gao Jie also came out to pay homage: "The last general is also willing to fight!"

"The last general is also willing to fight!"

Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo looked at each other, and had no choice but to stand up and go to the hall to bow down.

"it is good!"

The red lady applauded.

Then he looked at Wu Sangui on the side, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Wu, you are the loyal and brave Marquis proclaimed by His Majesty, and you are the champion of the three armies. Do you plan to stay in the camp this time?"

"Mother, this Wu Sangui is obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, and fears the enemy like a tiger. I suggest cutting off his sacrificial flag first to strengthen the army!"

"Your Majesty, what Zongbing Gao said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it!"

Gao Jie immediately said, Liu Zeqing was also on the sidelines, and the others were watching with cold eyes, already accustomed to the dog-eat-dog relationship between the three of them.

Wu Sangui was furious, although he knew that the empress would not kill him, but being frightened by these two villains every day was disgusting, so he suppressed his anger, ignored the two, and clasped his fists at the red lady.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to fight, I don't dare to fight, but that most of the troops sent by the Tartars this time are just to test the reality of our army, or they are the vanguard of the army."

"The last general thinks that there is no need to worry about the moment, our army just needs to wait for work!
What's more, although Jiannu only came with [-] cavalry, the main camp is only sixty or seventy miles away, and the Tartars generally have one man with two cavalry, or three cavalry. , I'm afraid it will happen in a flash! "

"This governor naturally knows, so this battle only needs three general soldiers. Otherwise, my 30 troops will be huddled in the camp, and let the opponent's [-] infantry attack and bombarded by cannons. Where is the morale? What is the man's blood? ?”

Seeing what he said, Hong Niangzi's complexion also eased, and she glanced at the generals in the hall at the end.

Wu Sangui saw that she knew these military common sense, and also knew that his worries were unnecessary, so he calmed down and went out to pay respects: "Since Your Majesty intends to discourage the enemy's morale, I am willing to lead the cavalry under my command to fight for the army!"

"Okay! Gao Jie, Li Dakai, I order you two to lead the troops out of the camp for five miles to meet the enemy, and Wu Sangui, order you to lead Guan Ning's iron cavalry to flank the formation!"

"Yes!"

All three answered in unison.

With Wu Sangui leading 6 cavalry, 3 fighting against [-], and backed by the camp, even Gao Jie is confident, and Li Dakai is gearing up.

The other commanders are envious, after all, there are not many such opportunities.

"This battle is the first battle, only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed! Also, beheading generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists. It is not a joke, and we must not talk about it lightly in the future!"

After speaking, he stared at Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie.

"Yes!"

The two had no choice but to promise honestly.

"Niangniang Shengming!"

Wu Sangui heaved a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to be disgusted by these two villains in the future.

The red lady stood up abruptly and said sharply:
"This is the order of the military governor, whoever is afraid of the enemy and does not go ahead, who flees in front of the battle, and who does not respect orders, from the commander-in-chief to the soldiers will be executed!
Anyone who kills one enemy will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and those who kill five people will be promoted to a higher rank and will be rewarded with ten acres of land. Those who kill one rider will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. "

hiss!
All the generals gasped, and now they have already figured out the temperament of this noble concubine.

That is bold, loyal, extremely committed, and very easy to get along with. She said she would reward her, and she would definitely reward her, without any discount.

No, when the Red Lady's military order spread throughout the camps, everyone's hearts became hot.

And Li Dakai and Gao Jie had also assembled their troops and left the camp, then crossed the canal along the pontoon bridge, and came to the front of the two big camps on the north bank to start their formation.

Wu Sangui was a bit slower, after a full hour, he crossed the river and occupied a high ground with a gentle slope. According to the commanding height, he overlooked the entire battlefield.

Hong Niangzi also brought a group of generals to the high platform in the camp on the north shore, ready to watch the battle.

at the same time.

Azig led an army of [-] horsemen for less than [-] miles.

Azig frowned slightly when he learned that the opponent's 6 horses had already marched out of the camp and that the nearby highlands were also occupied by Wu Sangui's cavalry.

He just came to test the reality of the other party, but the other party put on such a posture, how can he test it?

This is obviously a big fight.

If they didn't win this battle, Wu Sangui's cavalry was in charge, and he couldn't lead the cavalry to rush to the rescue. The [-] infantry might be defeated, most of the casualties, and the fifty red-clothed cannons would probably fall.

But if you don't fight, you can only ask Dole for help, send more cavalry, and completely suppress Wu Sangui, so that even if you lose, you will be under control.

Azig looked at the sky, and finally decided to fight. Anyway, he didn't feel bad about how many Han soldiers died.

Otherwise, once more cavalry is dispatched, the opponent will definitely choose to retreat to the camp.

Rather than attacking and defending, he wanted to test the field capabilities of the Tongzhou army. After all, there were 30 troops.

And he also wanted to see if he could find a chance to kill or seriously injure Wu Sangui's cavalry.

After all, such an opportunity is rare.

Exchanging [-] infantry for Wu Sangui's [-] Guanning cavalry is not a good deal, even if he loses half of the [-] cavalry.

Therefore, all the luggage and cannons were left in place to avoid being captured by the opponent.

"Geng Jingzhong, you stay here to guard the cannon supplies, and if the battle ahead gets tight, return to the camp immediately."

"Yes!"

Geng Jingzhong quickly replied that he likes this kind of errand the most.

"Kong Youde, you lead the army to fight, and this king will fight for you!"

"My lord, the opponent has twice as many soldiers as the last general? Let's ask the regent for help!" Kong Youde looked bitter.

"What are you afraid of?"

"It's just a group of mobs who don't even have armor. How can they be the opponents of our Han Eight Banners elite?"

"But my lord, Wu Sangui's son-in-law occupies a high place. Once he leads Guan Ning's iron cavalry to charge down, will the 3 horses be turned into a pool of rotten meat in an instant?"

Kong Youde said carefully.

"Fart, lend him ten guts, are the king's [-] cavalry come to watch the show?"

"It's getting late, don't talk too much, go!"

Azig was a little impatient.

He wished that Wu Sangui would come and slaughter the infantry.

"Yes!"

Kong Youde was helpless, knowing that this bastard was fishing for him, but he had no choice but to lead his army to kill him.

As for the [-] infantry, he really didn't pay attention to them. He knew the virtues of the Ming army very well.
