Chapter 31 Chapter 27 Departure
"There are tens of millions of ways to fight, but our manpower is too small, and there is only one method available, and that is quick battle!" Nurhachi explained to the people around him: "I often hear Han people say: 'Soldiers are more expensive than speed. ', it is very reasonable, move quickly, and you can kill the enemy by surprise before he is ready-I have heard a story told by them, this story is used as a joke example in military science; in the Spring and Autumn Period, Song Dynasty The state of Chu and the state of Chu fought at Hongshui. The army of Song State arrived first and had already lined up. The army of Chu State was a step behind and had not yet crossed Hongshui. At this time, the great Sima of Song State advised the king Song Xianggong attacked them while the Chu army was still crossing the river. However, Song Xianggong thought that if they killed them before they were ready, the battle would be unfair, so they could not do so. Wait until all the Chu troops passed After crossing the river, before the battle was set up, Da Sima came to persuade him that it was time to launch an attack, but he still said no, it would be fair for the two sides to fight until the Chu army had also set up their battle formation. Okay. When the Chu army is ready, The two countries started to fight, and there were many soldiers in Chu, and Song was defeated in one fell swoop, and Song Xianggong himself was shot in the thigh with an arrow, which almost shot through his ass!"
The last sentence made everyone laugh out loud, and Er Yidu laughed and said, "Ha! There are such idiots in the world!"
Nurha Chidao: "Yes, this incident is recorded in the official history of the Han people, and it is a real person!"
E Yidu laughed and said, "It would be great if we could meet such idiots when we were fighting!"
Nurha Chidao: "Whether you can meet such a fool depends on luck, but luck is the least reliable thing, so let's rely on ourselves! Let's not expect to meet such a fool, just learn from the story of this fool." Do something!"
So, with a straightened look on his face, he slowly analyzed one by one: "First of all, fighting is not a competition, and there is no fairness at all. A one-on-one contest is a ring, not a war; If you miss it, you may lose the battle..."
Er also followed his words and continued: "Then even the ass will be shot through!"
One sentence made everyone laugh again; but when they laughed enough, Eyidu also had his serious side, he restrained his joking look, and said seriously: "Nurhachi said very well. Yes, we must remember what he said, and we must obey his leadership—strictly speaking, each of us has never fought a formal battle, and those small scenes in the past can only be regarded as "fighting" Let’s kill a few people, or dozens of people; now, we are officially going to capture a city. After all, this is the first time we have fought in our life. With so few people, the method must be correct..."
An Fei Yanggu also nodded and said: "From the example of Ah Tai being destroyed, I can imagine that personal martial arts and fighting methods are completely two different things!"
"No," Nurhachi smiled and corrected him: "Personal martial arts is also very important. We have so few people, and everyone has to fight ten against one!"
Then, he explained the battle plan in detail: "The first is to be fast, and the second is to be stealthy - these two points must be achieved in order to defeat Tulum City when it is unprepared; we have few people, we must do it These two points are not too difficult; Ha Sihu, Chang Shu, Yang Shu, and Nomina each lead their troops from your place. The number of each team is not large, and it is not easy to attract attention. , I thought of a method, which is to march at night and sleep during the day, so that I can secretly arrive at the city of Tulum; today is April—well, that is May 15th, at midnight, we are in the southeast of Tulum city See you in the woods on the other side, I will tie white cloth strips on the branches as a mark; before dawn, we will start attacking the city..."
After saying this, he took out the map he had drawn and opened it to show everyone: "The city of Tulum is built on a hillside, with high mountains behind it. This kind of terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack; and we have few people. , if they let their horses rush down from above, we will be at a disadvantage; so we have to touch him in the dark to catch him by surprise-you see, their walls are square, and the gate is in the middle , as long as you can open the door, it will be easy to kill in; if you can't open it, look for a dead corner on the wall, near the valley, the defense may be poor, people often think that there are natural dangers in dangerous places, but they will be negligent... "
He talked eloquently, and his expression and voice were full of confidence; however, when everyone was infected by the atmosphere and aroused their high fighting spirit, Nomina suddenly raised a question: "Ming Dynasty I have always supported Nikan Wailan, in your opinion, if Nikan Wailan asks Uncle Ning Yuan for help this time, will Uncle Ning Yuan send troops to help him?"
In a word, it was nothing more than a pot of cold water poured down from the head, making everyone immediately think of Li Chengliang's "800,000 troops", a chill involuntarily rose in their hearts, and their faces turned pale; no one answered, The surrounding atmosphere suddenly sank, so stagnant that it was almost breathless.
Nurhachi also lowered his eyes and remained silent like everyone else, his face gradually turned from pale to green, his heart sank, cold sweat trickled down his forehead and neck, and he almost stopped breathing in his nose——Suddenly, he let out a tiger's cry. Standing up, he shouted loudly: "It's a bet, but I have to bet on him!"
As he spoke, he immediately pulled out an arrow from his quiver, bent his knees, and slammed the arrow on his thigh. With a "slap", the body of the arrow broke immediately; he gritted his teeth, his face turned blood red, and his eyes Zhong looked at everyone with sparks, and said loudly: "If Uncle Ning Yuan wants to send troops, no one will be able to escape, and hiding at home is the same as waiting for death. Why don't you let go and fight, maybe you can find a way!"
The fire in his heart was burning again, and it was burning hotter and fiercer than before; therefore, his whole body exuded a strange light, and his gestures were inadvertently full of shocking and convincing charm, and his voice Zhong Geng carried an irresistible force: "How can a man change his ambition just because the enemy is numerous and powerful—if it is because Uncle Ning Yuan has an army of 800,000, they have 10 million people in the Ming Dynasty?" , we are too afraid to do anything, so why live in this world?"
A few words re-inspired everyone's ambitions, and E Yidu first let out a long breath and said: "Yes! If you shrink back because you are afraid that Nikanlan will have reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, then what's the point?" 'Being', hide your head in your shell like a turtle, and die of old age is over!"
Nomina blushed at what he said, and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid—I mean—it's—in case—in case, you might as well..."
Ha Sihu glanced at him, collected himself, and said slowly: "You are right about the 'what if'; however, what if it is not necessarily inevitable—Ning Yuanbo may send troops, but he will not definitely send troops; Nurhachi said That's right, even if you bet, you have to bet on him, and I'll bet that if Uncle Ning Yuan doesn't send troops, we will definitely win Tulun City!"
An Feiyangu also said: "Firstly, we have already decided to attack Tulun City; secondly, it is unknown whether Uncle Ning Yuan will send troops; thirdly, the method Nurhachi decided to attack Tulun City is a secret. As long as we keep our mouths shut, Nikan Wailan and Uncle Ning Yuan will not know the route our troops traveled and the time to attack the city..."
Chang Shu and Yang Shu said in unison: "Since we have formed an alliance and elected Nurhaci as Baylor, we should obey his leadership and follow his lead - we have already reached this juncture. That means nothing at all!"
This is nothing more than a "conclusion". When Nomina heard everyone say this, of course he shut up and stopped expressing any opinions; several people firmly remembered the battle plan drawn up by Nurhachi. Tian then took the men and horses back to his stronghold to prepare the manpower and supplies needed to attack Tulun City.
As soon as the three groups of people left, Jianzhou Zuowei suddenly became deserted again, but the deserted deserted, but the busy situation remained the same, the women were busy making dry food, brothers E Yidu, An Feiyangzhan and Shu Erhaqi A few were busy collecting weapons, preparing horses, and practicing battle formations, and there was hardly a moment of leisure in a day.
Nurhachi's heart was even more ups and downs. Facing the first battle in his life, and in the situation of "only success, no failure", he was under great pressure; in order to judge the enemy's situation in more detail, he sent several E Yidu's disciples went to Shenyang and Tulun City to observe and inquire about the movements of Li Chengliang and Nikan Wailan, and they thought and deliberated over and over again...
Finally, the day of departure arrived.
On the day before departure, he once again carefully counted the personnel, weapons, horses, grain, and various equipment, and recalled the battle plan again in his mind, and then ordered everyone to rest to recharge their spirits hit the road.
However, when everything was ready, he himself couldn't fall asleep. After getting on the kang, after tossing and turning for a while, he had to turn over and get off the kang.
The warm weather in May was already a little bit hot, he only put on a single shirt and walked out of the room.
It was quiet all around, there was no sound at all, and there was no one in sight. The huge hall and courtyard were usually full of chatter and laughter. Now, why did they disappear all of a sudden?He couldn't help being surprised, the strong men probably obeyed his order and went to rest and recuperate, but what about the women?What about the kids?
After looking around, he was sure that there was no one there, so he had to walk out the door, walked out of the gate, and wandered around for a while, before he saw a small figure squatting on the ground, looking down. I don't know what I'm playing with, but people can recognize it-it's Dongguo!
So, he caught up a few steps and shouted: "Dongguo!"
As soon as Dongguo heard someone calling her, she immediately raised her small face and looked around with a pair of bright black eyes. When she saw Nurhachi, she immediately stood up with a smile on her face, and ran towards him with her two little hands waving. Running and shouting: "Ama..."
Her childish voice was sweet and soft, and Nurhachi's face was full of smiles unconsciously. When she ran to him, he hugged her up.
"Dongguo, tell Ama, what are you playing with alone under the tree?"
Dongguo said: "My aunt taught me how to count. Only when I can count from one to a hundred can I pass the first level, and then she will teach me other skills; so, I just picked up a lot of small stones and sorted them out. On the ground, count them one by one!"
When Nurhachi heard this, he couldn't help admiring her: "You are only five years old, if you can count from one to one hundred, that would be really amazing!"
Dong Guo said solemnly: "My aunt is amazing, she still has a lot of skills to teach me later!"
Nurhachi smiled and stretched out his hands to pinch her cheeks, and asked her with a smile: "You have learned many skills from your aunt, what great things will you do when you grow up?"
Dong Guo answered her without thinking: "I want to marry a hero like Er Niang!"
Nurhachi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, in the future, Ama will carefully choose a hero for you to marry!"
Dong Guo showed an innocent smile, clapped his two little hands, and said with a joyful smile: "Wow! It's great! Erniang married a great hero, and my aunt is about to marry a great hero——Dong Guo I want to marry a great hero too!"
Nurhachi couldn't help being funny, and thought to himself: "In a few years, even if you think about it in your heart, you won't be ashamed to yell like this!"
But he asked her in his mouth: "Where did your mother go?"
Dong Guo said: "In the aunt's room..."
Nurha Equator: "Let's find your mother!"
As he spoke, he carried Dongguo in his arms and walked to Nichuhe's room; as soon as he entered the room, he found that Shuerhaqi's wife and Amin were there, and the three sisters-in-law were sitting on the kang doing needlework together. He caught a glimpse of a child's clothes being sewn in Zha Qing's hand, guessed that it was for A Min, but he didn't take it seriously after a glance; but who knew that Zha Qing's cheeks would immediately turn red when he saw it like this. Red up.
Seeing this, Ni Chuhe couldn't help but pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Brother doesn't know yet!"
Nurhachi asked in surprise, "Know what?"
Zaqing's face became more and more red, he lowered his head, and said nothing; Shuerhaqi's wife smiled and said to Nurhachi: "Congratulations, brother, there is another addition to the family!"
Nurhachi felt sorry for it immediately, it turned out that Zaqing was pregnant again!
There was a surprise in his heart. He was so busy for many days that he was so busy that he was so focused on the alliance and the attack on Tulun City that he didn't notice that Zhaqing was happy. He was too careless; but when he changed his mind, But even more joyful - isn't this a good omen, getting the good news of "adding men and adding children" on the eve of dispatching troops is definitely a harbinger of victory!
So, he laughed loudly and happily: "Ah, that's great—there will be more people fighting in the future!"
Then he went to tease Dong Guo and said, "When your mother-in-law gives birth to a younger brother, she will help Ama fight the war!"
Dong Guo was jealous when he heard it, and pouted, "The hero Dong Guo married will also help Ama fight!"
This time, everyone laughed out loud, even the little Amin, who was only a few months old, waved his two little hands, and made a babbling sound with a smile on his face; Nurhachi was in the middle, and his heart slowly rose. A warm current flowed along the blood and spread to the whole body.
Wife, children, family—what he felt was a kind of constant warmth, condensed into a kind of stable force, supporting him; so, he secretly told himself again in his heart: "In this battle, I must win..."
This voice has been lingering in his heart, accompanied by his life - the next day, when he led the team to set off, this voice has become a part of his life.
Before setting off, he held a simple sacrificial ceremony, worshiping the gods of heaven and earth, ancestors and ancestors; then, he stared at the people who followed him one by one, except Bayara who was left behind because of his age. All the men in the family left with him, so he solemnly ordered Bayara: "You are responsible for guarding the home. When we go out, you are the only man. Be brave and protect your sister and sister-in-law!"
With that said, he got on his horse, led the team, and left without looking back.
