please make me king

Chapter 1655

"General, there is Pinlu Fort ahead!" Just as Duoduo was doing his best, Lu Xiangsheng finally arrived at his destination - Pinlu Fort under the leadership of the scouts.

Pinglu Fort is just a small fort in the northwest of Shenyang. The city is only one mile around, with two gates in the north and south. It is located on the north bank of the Pu River, and the surrounding terrain is flat, which is good for cavalry.

However, such an inconspicuous small fort is the gateway to the northwest of Shenyang.

In the 17th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, [-] cavalrymen, together with Bai Hongda and Chang Ang, broke through Pinglu Fort, so that Shenyang and Puhe areas were all looted. One of the defeats.

This Lu Xiang was promoted to a Ming minister, and he also heard about it, so he chose this place early on as the place for the rebels to defend.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Xiang ascended to the front of the fort, and saw that the Napu River was lying on the south side of Pinglu Fort. If it wasn't for the cold weather, it would be a good place to go, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.

He then ordered Ainengqi to station in the west of the fort, Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan in the east of the fort, Hong Guoer and Dong Guoer in the north of the fort, and led his troops to live in Pinglu Fort.

When Duoduo arrived, Lu Xiangsheng had basically completed the deployment.

Na Duoduo sent cavalry to make a little test, but seeing that there was no room to take advantage of, he had to leave some men and horses to monitor the rebel army, and led the main force back to Shenyang City, Shengjing.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Naduoduo entered the city, Belledudu brought Horqin's right-wing Tushi Tuye Prince Badali and a group of people to meet him.

"You are very good!" Seeing Nabadali, Duoduo nodded in satisfaction first, and then pointed out, "As for Manzhu Xili and others, if they dare to betray me, they must not be spared! "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if there is a war tomorrow, I, Horqin Right Wing, would like to take the lead and let Manzhu Xili know how powerful I am!" Badali, Budaqi and Lama Shixi broke into a cold sweat and quickly expressed their opinions.

"En!" Doduo also knew that these people might not be trustworthy, but now it was time to use troops, so he could only pretend to be satisfied and nodded, coaxing these people first before talking.

Then, he turned his head and ordered to Du Du, "By the way, Anping Baylor, hurry up and prepare some food for the soldiers, and some fodder for the war horses. I'm going to surprise the 'shun thief' tonight!"

"Your Majesty?" Dudu didn't expect Doduo to be so impatient, and quickly comforted him, "It's freezing outside the city now, and the 'shun thief' will send food for thousands of miles. We just need to hold on for a while, and the 'thief' will stop Fight back!"

Although Du Du's suggestion is very simple, it is very practical and ruthless.

His method is similar to that of the Russian Kutuzov in dealing with the French Emperor Napoleon.

Since you can't beat your opponent head-on, then use the bad weather and long distance to drag down your opponent's logistics.

In fact, Zhang Shun was also worried about Hou Jinwan's move. In addition to the guards in Liaodong Town and Dongjiang Town, the rebels had already dispatched [-] troops.

Only these [-] soldiers eat horse chews, and the daily food and grass cost is more than [-] shi.

If you count the cost of transportation and loss for thousands of miles, the monthly food consumption is [-], how can this be tolerated?
"No, we can afford to wait, I'm afraid Liu Zhiyuan can't afford to wait!" However, Doduo pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and finally rejected Du Du's proposal.

It's not that he doesn't know the benefits of substituting defense for offense, but the current Qing Dynasty is not the former Qing Dynasty.

Today's Qing Dynasty has been defeated in a row, and was killed by the rebels to the city of Shengjing, and people have already panicked.

It is clear evidence that Horqin's left wing three banners were thrown towards the rebels.

If he still can't take the initiative to attack at this time, it is very likely that people will change their minds, and the huge country will fall apart in an instant.

So whether there is Liu Zhiyuan or not, Duoduo can't sit still.

Of course, if Liu Zhiyuan in Fuzhou is also doomed, then Jin's situation will become even worse.

For one thing, Hou Jin lost a force to contain the rebels, which would lead to more rebels arriving at the city of Shengjing.

Second, there are only 5 or [-] horses in the whole country of Houjin now. If it is [-] less, then there is no capital to turn the tables.

Therefore, although the rebel army could not afford to wait, in fact, Hou Jin could not afford to wait either.

Just when Duoduo made up his mind and was about to assault the rebel army, Zhang Sanbai and his men rushed to Tiger Skin Station.

This tiger skin station is located in the middle of Liaoyang to Shenyang, [-] miles away from the two places.

As soon as the rebel army arrived here, Zhang Sanbai gave an order: "Yang Chengzu sent out scouts, and be careful not to be taken advantage of by the captives. Others wait, set up camps on the spot, and cook after everything is over!" "

"General, the military situation is urgent, why are you still digging ditches and building fortifications here?" The soldiers had been running around for a day, their chests pressed against their backs already hungry, the ancestor saw Dashou, and couldn't help persuading him.

It turns out that most people in this era eat two meals a day.

Especially the soldiers, sometimes in order to hurry, they basically have a meal in the morning and evening.

Hearing the words, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but looked at Zu Dashou strangely, and said in his heart: You are also a veteran after all, how did you survive until now?
Obviously the enemy is good at cavalry, why can't they prepare in advance?

However, he still explained in good words: "120 miles from Liaoyang to Shenyang, the cavalry can arrive suddenly."

"Infantry is not the case. It is difficult to travel a hundred miles quickly, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by captive cavalry."

"The situation of Lu Xiangsheng's army is unknown now, so our army should not act rashly!"

Limited by the communication technology of this era, Zhang Sanbai was actually unable to confirm the situation of Lu Xiangsheng and his subordinates at all.

All he knew was that Lu Xiangsheng and the three battalions under his command had already arrived at the city of Shenyang, other than that, his eyes were completely darkened.

How to make a decision at this time depends entirely on the personal judgment of the general.

In fact, Zhang Sanbai was a little confused, but there was one thing he was quite sure of, and that was that the rebels had the upper hand in the current situation.

Now that you have taken advantage, it's better to be more stable.

"Then the general will take orders!" Zu Dashou hesitated for a while, but finally agreed with Zhang Sanbai's judgment.

Following Zhang Sanbai's order, the distance was immediately measured, the logging, the digging of the ditches and the digging of the soil. After two hours of busy work, it was finally possible to establish a semi-permanent camp relying on the tiger skin post. .

That Zhang Sanbai shared joys and sorrows, not only working with his own hands, but also the soldiers did not drink or eat, and he did not drink or eat either.

After being so busy working until it was late at night, Zhang Sanbai buried the pot with the soldiers to cook and eat together.

This time, the resentment of the soldiers who were originally dissatisfied disappeared, and Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others should not click their tongues.

After being so busy in the middle of the night, Zhang Sanbai arranged for manpower to keep watch, and at the same time picked out a "surprise soldier" just in case, and then went to bed with his clothes on.

However, just as he lay down on one side, he heard a commotion on the other side.

When he got up and took a look, there was a guard coming to report: "General, the Tartars really came to attack the camp!"
