Nanming Engineer

Chapter 403 Strategy
Ma Xintian's words inspired everyone's innate fear of the Qing army and the Eight Banners soldiers that had been shrouding their heads for some time, and the enthusiasm that was originally like fire was immediately extinguished.

Li Tingyu, Zu Bian, and Li Yan fought against the Houjin army outside the pass. Li Dingguo, Liu Yun, Liu Li, and Zhang Jianchun fought against the Qing army in the Daxi Army and the Nanming Army. They have personally experienced the Battle of the Eight Banners The strong individual combat ability and tenacious combat discipline of the Qing soldiers empathize with them; and Ma Wannian, Ma Xintian, Ma Long and others are all aboriginals who have stayed in Sichuan and never left the province. Their impressions of the Qing soldiers are from various people. It is derived from the description and boast of the Qing soldiers, plus the battles with the Eight Banners soldiers in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

But in any case, when it comes to the Jurchen Eight Banners Army, even people in such a powerful army as the Kuizhou Army will involuntarily lose their minds. The lesson that La Bing almost didn't fight is still vivid in his mind. If the Eight Banners soldiers from Datong are really more numerous than the Kuizhou Army, then it may be too risky to face it head-on.

So everyone closed their mouths and became silent. Although no one spoke, they revealed a kind of worry invisibly.

Wang Huan turned around, looked at the crowd, smiled, pointed at Ma Xintian and said, "Look, what you said scared everyone."

Ma Xintian didn't take it seriously, watching Wang Huanjing wait for the next article, he knew that Wang Huan was definitely not blaming himself.

Li Tingyu stroked his beard in embarrassment, and said in a rough voice: "Master, we are not afraid of war, let alone afraid of Tartars! I have handed over 100 catties of my whole body to Sir, are you still afraid of death? When the soldiers of the country attack Datong, there will be many people who rescue Taiyuan. Should we retreat to Shiling Pass first, and then lay in ambush as usual, wait for the Tartars to be exhausted, and then surprise us with a sneak attack? Wouldn't it be more effective with less effort?"

Everyone nodded their heads, thinking it made sense.

This is a well-established plan, be sure!

But Wang Huan shook his head, raised his head and looked into the distance, sighed softly at the clouds on the distant mountain top, gritted his teeth and said: "What General Li said is not unreasonable, but we can't retreat in this battle. In this battle, we must win the battle openly and squarely, we must win quickly, and we must let the whole world know that among the powerful army of Ming Dynasty, only our Kuizhou army is invincible in the world, and the barbarians from the east are nothing but dead souls!"

Invincible!The soul of the dead under the sword!
Everyone's eyes widened, and before they had time to recover from the surprise, they heard Wang Huan speak again.

"Our battle is a battle for Jiannu to understand the situation and let them know that the world is no longer dominated by their family and sweeping the world. Our Kuizhou army is better at fighting than them, more powerful than them. In other words, if we occupy Sichuan and Shaanxi, those Manchu nobles far away in Beijing will not feel a real threat, but if we eat his main force in Shanxi, they will definitely Fear!"

Wang Huan waved his fist to deepen the appeal of his words in everyone's hearts: "Shanxi is so close to Jingpu, in order to keep their lifeblood, Dorgon will definitely withdraw and disperse in Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places. In this way, we are equivalent to holding the Tartars by the neck, forcing them to withdraw their troops from the whole country and return to support Beijing, which is also a large-scale move to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

"So this battle is a battle of our prestige. We want to make Dorgon feel afraid. He is afraid from the bottom of his heart. He is afraid that we will go all the way eastward and enter Beijing City along the road that Li Zicheng used to follow."

"So in this battle, we must fight with dignity, and let them see that our way of fighting is different from theirs. We must let the blood of the Tartars flow over every inch of the land here, and let their heads die. The piles are as high as the gate towers at Shiling Pass! Let the knives in the hands of each of our soldiers be dulled by beheading the Tartars!"

Every time he said a word, it seemed that a layer of light emanated from the top of his head, piercing into the eyes of every Kuizhou general, shining like the sun, emitting heat like the sun, and this heat flowed from their eyes and nostrils. , the mouth, and even every pore, flowing through the seven meridians and eight channels, and finally gathered in the beating heart.

Encircle Wei and rescue Zhao on a large scale, and force troops to attack Zhili in the north!

With the shortest route, the Qing court was forced to gather its troops to protect Beijing. Otherwise, if Beijing was lost and Shanhaiguan was blocked, the Jiannu who remained on the land of China would fall into the vast ocean of Han people and die.

Li Tingyu and the others suddenly realized that it turned out that Wang Huan had such a grand plan in his heart, no wonder he had to wait for Shaanxi to stabilize before dispatching troops in a hurry. It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of Jiang Yu's excellent opportunity anyway to play this unparalleled game of chess!
So the battle at Shilingguan was indeed a battle that enlightened the Qing court. Only by fighting a strong force head-on and winning together could Dorgon realize who he was facing and what soldiers he was facing.

All the generals feel that their blood is boiling. Isn't it just for the sake of making great achievements in the world?Is there any greater contribution than turning the tide and helping the country with one's own efforts?Isn't the reincarnated Yue Fei, the famous ZTE general, exactly what Wang Huan said and did?
The atmosphere is like a bucket of high explosives, it only needs a small spark to explode, and the cheers will immediately resound in the wilderness.

But Mars didn't light up, because someone poured a bucket of water.

"My lord, you haven't explained how to deal with the Tartars if they are stronger than us!"

Ma Xintian's dry voice sounded again, and he poured water, still ice water.

Everyone stared angrily, but Ma Xintian turned a blind eye.

Wang Huan nodded and asked, "Are you familiar with our training in Shaanxi?"

Everyone nodded quickly. Thinking of the devilish training in Shaanxi, these iron-clad soldiers trembled all over. I didn't expect that Wang Huan, who is usually kind and kind, turned into a Shura when he started training, a gentle and quiet person. , Can actually be transformed into a fiery Yan Luo, twelve hours a day, I wish I could use it all for training, beating and tempering, even if it is a war, it does not have the intensity of this training.

"If I say that as long as we exert half of our training ability, we can not only win all the battles against the Tartars, but also reduce the battle casualties to a negligible level, do you believe it?" Wang Huan said lightly, as if nonsense .

But will Pinglianghou be nonsense?
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. After a long time, Li Tingyu gritted his teeth and said, "I believe! Follow Lord Hou, you will be invincible!"

"I believe!"

"I believe!"

"Master Hou, we all believe it!"

The generals shouted and echoed one after another.

Wang Huan laughed sincerely, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and said decisively: "You should believe it, because what we want to fight is not a symmetrical war."

.......
Time flies, and nearly ten days passed in a blink of an eye. At the edge of the Xinding Basin, the banner of a brigade of Qing soldiers appeared. At that time, the news that there was a large group of Ming troops in Shiling Pass, and the news of retreating and guarding the pass also reached the ears of Nikan and Boluo.
