Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 122 Negotiation
Seeing the tens of thousands of bandit troops gathered outside Anlu City, surrounded by tens of thousands of bandits in the city, many soldiers were panicked.

If it was those rebels, these two Tartars were not afraid at all. They knew that even if there were 10,000+ rebels, as long as they charged, those rebels who had just put down their hoes and picked up their spears would collapse.Even if there are 10,000+ former Ming troops, even if their swords are sharp and armored, they are not afraid, because they know that as long as their own army approaches the city, those former Ming troops will be forced to surrender without a fight because of the prestige of the court, which is what they did.

But the security group was different. They had simple weapons and clothes, and their complexion was not good. It could be seen that they were chronically undernourished and undernourished.But their will to fight is stronger than that of the rebels, the former Ming army, and even their own side.That kind of crazy energy during the battle is very similar to the bandits of the White Lotus Sect, and they are also the core bandits.

The White Lotus Sect in Shandong was rampant, and many of the Green Battalion soldiers brought by Kong Youde had fought against the bandits.These green battalion soldiers also don't understand why so many religious bandits regard death in battle as a blessing.However, although those religious bandits fought bravely, they all rushed forward in a swarm, while the group bandits relied on battle formations to fight.

Therefore, compared to those religious bandits, group bandits with strict discipline are more terrifying.

The Tartars thought that the tens of thousands of people facing each other had the combat effectiveness of the advance team, so the morale of the army was confused.

At this time, Kong Youde was also very anxious.He repeatedly underestimated the strength of the bandits.I really didn't expect that the gangsters would develop so much in just three years!And it's still under the nose of the Governor's Mansion!At this moment, Kong Youde felt chills in his heart.Fortunately, after the Battle of Yunmeng, I wrote a battle report and sent it to Wuchang Mansion, and hinted that the bandits were powerful and might need reinforcements, which gave Wuchang Mansion time to prepare.

Moreover, the rebellion of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren will subside soon. As long as Nanchang is stopped, they can continue to march south to pacify Li Chengdong in Guangdong.The difficult days of the imperial court are coming to an end, so that hands can be freed to deal with this banditry.

Yesterday, after repelling the regiment's reinforcements and besieging the camp, Kong Youde sent people to ask for help from Wuchang Mansion, preparing to solve the bandit rebellion in one fell swoop.So what Kong Youde has to do now is to wait, to wait for the anti-encirclement after the arrival of his own reinforcements.

So Qiu Tianxing's decision was exactly what he wanted, and there seemed to be a confrontation with the reinforcements from the security regiment.

In the reinforcement camp, the regiments of the three brigades were sitting facing the direction of the Tartar camp with their weapons in their hands. This was to prevent the Tartars from sneaking in.Behind them is a construction site that is in full swing. More than 3 people are digging trenches, cutting down trees to make antlers, and building tents. It seems that they are going to fight for a long time.

At this time, in the camp fighting, Chen Chen, Sun Zhi and Li Taiping were seated at a round table.Qiu Tian acted to emphasize the brotherhood of comrades, so he used the round table to downplay the concept of upper and lower levels.At this time, the three of them joined forces, and they were both battalion commanders, so the round table was just right.

At this time, Sun Zhi thought that since he had come to Anlu City, he would naturally defeat the Tartars in one go, in order to prevent changes over time.But Chen Chen and Li Taiping disagreed.Chen Chen and Li Taiping, who had suffered a great loss from the Tartars, were very afraid of the Tartars' combat power.After interrogating the captured Tartars, it became clear that it was Kong Youde, the respectful king among the three Shun kings of the Tartars.

Kong Youde is a well-known traitor in the world, and his reputation is still higher than that of Wu Sangui.When he made a fuss in Shandong, Wu Sangui had just emerged, and people like Chen Chen and Li Taiping were still pissing and playing with live mud.

In fact, it wasn't that Chen Chen and Li Taiping didn't dare to fight Kong Youde, but they had no confidence in defeating Kong Youde with their current strength.They are going to deploy another [-] troops from the rear to defeat them one by one.

But Sun Zhi disagreed. He believed that wars should not be fought with [-]% certainty, but with a [-]% to [-]% certainty.If our side is fully prepared, the enemy will also be well prepared. If we always emphasize the probability of victory one-sidedly, then there is no need to fight the battle.Sun Zhi was born as a butcher, and he has a brave butcher personality.

"Chen Battalion Commander, Li Battalion Commander. The first battalion still has 1 troops, the fourth battalion has nearly 7 regiments, and my second battalion has [-] troops, so the total number is [-]. When I look at the Tartar camp, At most, there are more than [-] people. And there are tens of thousands of regiment leaders in the city, and it is estimated that there are at least [-]. In this way, our security regiment will have [-] people. Even if the Tartars have [-] people, we will have four times more troops. Don't you dare to fight?" Sun Zhi looked at Chen Chen and Li Taiping and said word by word.

But listening to Sun Zhi's words, Chen Chen and Li Taiping remained silent.The elite of the first battalion is gone, and the fourth battalion is injured. Even if there are [-] troops in total, how much combat power will they have?This can only be said by the second battalion with no loss.

Seeing that Chen Chen and Li Taiping were unmoved, Sun Zhi could only continue talking.

"As for what you said about sending [-] more reinforcements, my second battalion can no longer send them."

These words surprised Chen Chen and Li Taiping, they asked in surprise.

"Your Second Battalion recently took down half of Huangzhou Prefecture. It's time to recruit troops. Why can't you send another [-] soldiers?"

Sun Zhi could only smile wryly and said, "It's not that the bigger the territory, the more soldiers and horses we can mobilize!"

"My Second Battalion occupies half of the Huangzhou Prefecture, and the other half belongs to the Tartars. In order to resist the Tartars, half of the Huangzhou Prefecture's strength in my Second Battalion is used for defense. This time I brought out [-] The men and horses are already the last mobile force of my Second Battalion in Xinyang. The rest of the troops have to suppress the Quartet, so there are not enough troops!"

Only then did Chen Chen and Li Taiping realize that the territories of the first battalion and the fourth battalion were both in Henan, while the second battalion had a piece of territory in Hubei.The Tartars in Hubei are far stronger than those in Henan, and Sun Zhi is under far greater pressure than them.

However, if Sun Zhi had no follow-up troops, they alone would not be able to gather [-] troops.What's more, they brought out all the elite this time, and most of the troops in the rear were weak troops. Continuing to recruit troops would only increase the number.

For a while, Chen Chen and Li Taiping were silent.

Sun Zhi went on to say, "In my opinion, if the army sets up their tents today, they will have a retreat. Tomorrow, they will rest for a whole day, and then they will fight the Tartars to the death!"
