Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Facing half a million bandits and their families, who came overwhelmingly, Lu Mou formulated the most complete plan.

Standing in front of the map, holding his baton confidently, he stated his plan to the military commanders and officials under his command: "This time, the enemy group is coming. There are only two ways for them to pass through our defense line. One way is to divide the troops and attack in multiple groups. But Mr. Zhang and I have deduced that the rogue bandits will never adopt this method. Because we have the Guan Ning cavalry in our hands, if they divide into multiple groups and advance together , giving our cavalry group the opportunity to pursue and defeat each other. So they will never choose this method.

Since the troops cannot be divided, the whole army can only advance on a rolling basis. Five hundred thousand is definitely the biggest pressure for us. For this reason, I will decide that our infantry will retreat to the intersection of the Outer and Inner Great Walls and defend with the help of the Great Wall. Then our cavalry group will swim between the inner and outer Great Wall. Don't let them have the opportunity to collect food and grass from the surrounding areas. We must consume them layer by layer on the periphery like peeling an onion. In the end, we almost exhausted them, and when their food and grass were cut off, we launched a general attack. "

Wu Sangui had nothing, but Zhu Changxun asked a key question: "The enemy claims 500,000, but in fact, their family members only account for 300,000. If they continue to drive their families to attack us as they did in the past, we will what to do?"

This must be made clear. Because not long ago, Yuan Zongdi took hundreds of thousands of people hostage and retreated towards the Inner Great Wall. Qi Fei was helpless and his regent had to make a promise in front of the army and reach an agreement with Yuan Zongdi. He let them retreat into the Inner Great Wall and rescued the people.

This time, the bandits came with so many family members and civilians. Like last time, they used the family members as human shields. How should you face it?

This is a fact before the facts. If this problem is not solved, once their family members come over, will everyone fight or not?

Everyone here, like Guan Ning, looked indifferent.

However, the newly formed Ming army was quite troubled. Because when they were first formed, they were instilled with strict military discipline of not disturbing or harming the people. As a result, they faced 30 family members of the enemy this time. How do you characterize them?
Although they are the family members of the bandits, they are still common people. They are gray-haired old people, children with braids, and weak and helpless women. The reason why they became the family members of the bandits was not because you, Lao Zhu's family, forced them into desperation and took the risk.

Your father has just made it clear to the world that he has forgiven the sins of all the rebels in the world.

So when you face them now, should you kill them or not?

Just be kind. If you don't kill someone when they come to you, they will leave calmly. But if you kill them, who will bear this bad reputation?

You are the prince, the commander-in-chief of the first army, and we listen to you. I think it is most appropriate for you to bear this bad reputation. Otherwise, we would like to be a good person and send these people off warmly.

Lu Mou had already made up his mind about what was bound to happen.

"I love the people, but I am not a saint, and I don't want to be a saint. So I stipulated that when we face the families of those bandits, we only need to shout to them three times before the battle, 'Put down your weapons, surrender and do not kill.' We will We have done our utmost to be benevolent and righteous. So if they still attack us, then they are our enemies. We must not be merciful towards our enemies."

Shouting three times in a row to make people surrender is actually to find a kind of psychological comfort for themselves. In fact, it is to find an excuse to hide their shame.

Hypocritical, so hypocritical.

But there is no way, the form is like this, and it can only be like this.

Otherwise, we should no longer think about wiping out the bandits in the future.

The reason why Lu Mou was so cruel this time was because what Yuan Zongdi did last time made him suffer. If such scenes continue to occur, it will restrain the soldiers and allow the bandits to imitate their unscrupulous behavior. Then there is no way to regain the northwest.

Lu Mou wanted to use this method of self-comfort. In this war, which was almost a decisive battle in the northwest, he would never be merciful. He wanted to pass this battle and let go of the soldiers' psychological burden and hands and feet.

At the same time, we must use this almost massacre war to tell the future bandits that if you continue to use the method of coercing the people to fight against me, this method will no longer work, and I will not accept this method.

Killing these 300,000 people may save the next 3 million to 30 million people. For this reason, Lu Mou believed that his responsibility for this notoriety was valuable.

Anyway, I have been notorious since the day I traveled through time. Is this still missing?

What's the difference between a stick and a feather duster? The difference is that there are no chicken feathers.

Lu Mou was talking eloquently here, making careful arrangements, and was confident about annihilating the main force of the rogue bandits in the northwest. Suddenly, a guard in golden clothes rushed in and shouted to Lu Mou: "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal." good."

Lu Mou frowned: "What big thing happened?"

The Jin Yiwei made an urgent report: "According to reports from our brothers who monitored the army of rogue bandits, the bandits did not pounce on us after they carried out a thorough plunder near Datong, Shanxi Province. Instead, they pounced on the tiger's mouth of the Outer Great Wall. , along the Onimochuan River, and entered Mongolia."

The baton and chin in Lu Mou's hand fell to the ground together.

This was too unexpected.

All his troops have made complete plans here and are waiting here, ready to kill all sides. As a result, he slipped away and went abroad. I've left myself here to dry out. I'm ready for the day. I can just change my pillow and cover myself with a big quilt and fall asleep.

Zhang Huangyan was anxious: "The rogues are preparing to avoid our attack and return to Hetao from the Mongolian grassland. Your lord, are we going to intercept or kill them?"

If we continue to intercept and kill rogue bandits, then our Ming army will go deep into the grasslands. When the time comes, what he will face will not be an enemy, but the Mongolian cavalry of the Qing Dynasty and this huge group of bandits.

Facing two enemies, if we just mobilize our troops like this, are we still capable of fighting? "

Wu Sangui also frowned: "This is a very critical issue. At this time, do we need to provoke the Manchus for the sake of rogue bandits? Once this incident stimulates the Manchus, let them retaliate against us and attack our Zhili again , we will have to fight on two fronts. By then, the recovery of the northwest may be in vain, and we will have to face the powerful Manchu Qing Dynasty. Which one to complete first is a matter for the prince to decide. "

A difficult decision was once again thrust in front of Lu Mou.

Lu Mou was also a little confused. It was originally a civil war, but now it is better. This civil war has become international. You see what happened. (End of chapter)
