Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 239
"Prince Pingxi's gaze is as bright as a torch. Perhaps Tangning also guessed that we would choose to defend passively, and that would be exactly what he wanted."

"Since this plan was proposed by King Pingxi, then use the Guan Ning army to fight. I will personally report to the regent king for such military exploits."

"I also hope that King Pingxi will go all out, and our army will support King Pingxi at any time. The success or failure of our army depends on this."

Azig said to Wu Sangui in a rough voice, obviously admiring Wu Sangui quite a bit, even his gloomy mood seemed to be better.

Wu Sangui got up quickly, bowed slightly and saluted: "The last general is under orders, and he will go all out."

"King Pingxi must pay attention to his own safety." Azige did not forget to remind him.

Wu Sangui bowed again: "The general will always remember His Highness's instruction."

Immediately, Wu Sangui withdrew directly and began to organize the army.

Azige looked at Wu Sangui's retreating back, his expression moved slightly.

He knew that Wu Sangui wanted to express himself and gain the trust of the Qing Dynasty, so after he went south from the capital, the Guan Ning Army, led by Wu Sangui, charged forward and worked very hard.

A few days ago, Guan Ning's army tried their best to fight against the new army, and the defeat was not what Wu Sangui wanted.

Azig is still very satisfied with Wu Sangui's performance along the way, so his perception of Wu Sangui has also changed a lot, even more than Shang Kexi, who surrendered earlier.

Who is Shang Kexi's troops, no matter in terms of military strength or combat power, they are not as good as Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army.

Prince Ying, who has made great military exploits, no matter whether you surrender sooner or later, everything speaks for itself with strength.

In the last battle, the Guanning Army suffered a lot of losses. Now there are more than [-] Guanning Army fighting with Azig, including more than [-] cavalry and nearly [-] infantry.

Wu Sangui didn't keep it anymore, and called out all of them, and Azig was also very satisfied with Wu Sangui's attitude.

"Your Highness, something seems wrong?" Shang Kexi said with a slight expression.

Azige frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong? In the current situation, we all have to be like King Pingxi. Only by going all out can we have the determination to win."

Shang Kexi opened his mouth, didn't say much, just bowed in response.

After the whole army was completed, Wu Sangui waited for the scouts in front to pass on the latest news of the new army's movements until he heard that the new army was only about twenty miles away. With an order, the army immediately dispatched and headed directly towards the direction the new army came from.

The two sides kept approaching, the scouts of the new army and the scouts sent by Wu Sangui shuttled back and forth, bringing back their respective information.

Of course, the new army needs scouts who can transmit information manually, but they are only on the surface. The most secretive scouts are already equipped with radios, and only a few people know where they are.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and an invisible dignified atmosphere quickly gathers between the two sides, especially the Guan Ning army.

The tragedy of the last battle is still vivid. Even the mighty Tartars were defeated. They didn't know what King Pingxi was thinking, and took most of the possessions of the Guanning Army to fight the new army.

It's okay if you win the fight, everyone can be promoted to rank, but if you lose, the entire Guan Ning army may exist in name only.

Because apart from the more than 1 Guan Ning Army now, there are less than 5000 people left in Yingtian Mansion.

Thousands of Guanning troops, mainly infantry, are of little use value to the Tartars.

At that time, whether the name of the Guan Ning Army can be preserved is a question. Who will remember the dedication and military exploits of the Guan Ning Army?
Many people understand that as a surrendered army, it will only be reused if it is of value to the Tartars.

Once the strength of the Guan Ning Army is greatly reduced, the value of use will naturally drop significantly, and the Guan Ning Army is likely to be thrown away like rags.

They don't believe that King Pingxi doesn't understand this truth. Could it be that King Pingxi really bet with a much smaller winning rate?

Even if Azig wins in the end, the losses of the Guan Ning Army should be very heavy. It is really hard to say how the Tartars will treat the Guan Ning Army.

Some mid-level and lower-level military officers who understood the reason silently followed the brigade and continued to approach the new army with various thoughts. They were not qualified to influence the decision-making of the higher-ups, and their fate was completely at the mercy of others.

"Report, King Pingxi, the new army is less than eight miles away from our army." The scout reported the latest information to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui immediately raised his hand and ordered: "The whole army stops advancing..."

"The whole army stops advancing..." The order was conveyed quickly.

After the army stopped, several riders rushed out from the side of the army, and then galloped towards the direction of the new army.

"Report, my lord, Wu Sangui's army has stopped, less than eight miles away from our army. He also sent five envoys to approach our side."

"What the hell is Wu Sangui trying to do?" All the generals were a little puzzled.

Tangning narrowed her eyes, thought for a while and said, "Continue to monitor the eastward direction of the Guanning Army, and the whole army will continue to advance."

The new army did not stop at all, and continued to approach Wu Sangui's army.

But the five cavalry sent by Wu Sangui are very fast, and the distance of seven or eight miles can be reached without a cup of tea.

There were only five riders, and they came with a white flag, so the new army would naturally not make things difficult for them.

After expressing their intentions, they were quickly brought to Tangning's formation, and the new army did not stop there and continued to advance.

The leader was a guerrilla general named Guo Yunlong. After confirming that the young man in front of him was the thunderous Mr. Tang, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "The guilty minister has seen Mr. Tang."

"General Guo, you don't need to be polite, please stand up," Tangning said in a firm voice.

Guo Yunlong didn't get up, but raised his head, took out a letter from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said: "The guilty minister is responsible for Daming, and he is really ashamed. This letter was written by an adult of my family, and the guilty minister handed it over to me. By your lord."

A guard stepped forward to take the letter from Guo Yunlong, and handed it to Tangning.

Tangning opened the letter and looked at it. His expression changed, and then he passed it on to Sun Lin and the others beside him.

Tangning looked at Guo Yunlong and smiled, "Just now, our scouts have located Lord Wu and asked for artillery support."

"Fortunately, General Guo came in time. But it's all right now. General Guo can tell your Master Wu, so that he can rest assured that he's all right."

Guo Yunlong was first surprised, then overjoyed, and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Not long after, Guo Yunlong hurriedly left the formation of the new army and went back to report to Wu Sangui.

At this moment, Wu Sangui was hiding in the Guanning Army formation. Although his face was calm, his heart was full of anxiety. He didn't know how Tangning would respond to him.

However, he made this decision after deliberation. When Doduo led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Yangzhou city, various thoughts flashed in his mind.

After Azig led more elite troops to attack Tang Ning's troops, and lost several times in a row and suffered heavy losses, a certain idea became more determined.

Therefore, he found this opportunity, and then led the main force of the Guanning Army to fight.
