Chapter 1199 The omnipresent commander

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qi Jiguang decided on the strategy, and all the ministries became busy nervously.  The defenders on the border wall of the pass moved the defensive equipment to the top of the city, installed rolling stones and wood, and were ready for battle.

    Under the leadership of Hu Shouren and Qi Jimei, the 20,000 battalions who came out of the pass to fight moved westward to Qingshan Pass, thirty miles away, and came out of the pass at night.  Ambush along Dongmengou to Nianziyu.

    When everything was ready, Wu Liangha's tribe arrived thirty miles away.

    During this period, Qi Jiguang took off again. This time he could see clearly without a telescope that the main force of the Mongols was heading towards Dongjiakou.  In addition, two thousand troops were sent to Xifengkou, and two thousand troops to Shijiayu. Apparently, they wanted to use a feint attack to prevent the Ming troops in these two places from rashly reinforcing Dongjiakou.

    Dong Fox is as his name suggests, and he is indeed cunning. Unfortunately, the Ming army has hot air balloons and telescopes, so all his tricks are undetectable.

    Qi Jiguang does not find this kind of fighting boring. As long as he can annihilate more enemies and sacrifice fewer soldiers, he is willing to use any means.

    "Inform Lao Hu and the others of the situation." After getting off the hot air balloon, Qi Jiguang ordered Feng Ziming: "Then take off every two hours to closely monitor the Tatars' movements."

    "Yes." Feng Ziming responded in a deep voice. Seeing Qi Jiguang's soldiers bringing horses, he hurriedly asked: "Commander, where are you going?"

    "Dongjiakou." Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the pressure."

    ??~~

    Dong Fox naturally didn¡¯t know that every move he made had been watched by Qi Jiguang.

    After sending out two small troops to pretend to attack, he led the large troops to slowly approach Dongjiakou at his own pace.

    Dong Hu knew that there must be spies from the Ming army secretly watching, but he didn't care.  Because he had been dealing with the Ming army for many years, he knew very well that with the conduct of the Ming Dynasty's border troops, he was a hero if he could not flee but could defend himself.  Still supporting each other?  Stop dreaming.

    Therefore, the two small troops he sent were not so much a feint attack as an excuse to give the Ming army an excuse to do nothing.  In this way, they can rest assured that Dongjiakou has been breached, and they will have reasons to explain why they did not send reinforcements afterwards.

    It has been like this for many years, it has been like this since before he was born, so in Dong Hus eyes, this is natural.

    "Brother, I heard that the commander-in-chief Qi Jiguang on the opposite side is very powerful." The speaker was his younger brother Chaktu, who was called "Long Bald" by the Han people. He relied on his bravery and was a life-threatening barbarian.  "I wonder if I can meet him this time."

    "The Han people love bragging the most, and you believe it too." Dong Fox chuckled and said, "Those so-called famous generals are bragging to the sky one by one. What's the result? None of them can beat them."

    As he spoke, he pointed with his whip at the long green wall on the ridge in the distance and said: "Then Qi Jiguang is really so good at preaching? He has been in Jizhou for three years, just building the wall and never went to war?  I think it would be better if he changed his name to Qi Wugui!"

    "Hahaha!" The Mongolians who were shouting in front and behind were swaying with laughter on horseback.

    Dong Hu¡¯s mouth was contemptuous, but his eyes were serious.  The wall here is really too strong, and there are also those hollow enemy towers that look like turtle shells.  Leaving them with no choice but to be beaten passively.

    Last year, he, his brother and his nephew divided their forces into three groups, and they all suffered a bloody blow, but came back empty-handed

    Thinking of the difficult year in the past, Dong Hu sighed and saw Bai Qi.  It¡¯s only August!  Damn it, it's getting colder and earlier, why don't you let people live?

    "This attack is guaranteed to win but not to be defeated!" Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted loudly: "I will personally supervise the formation. Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot to death with random arrows!"

    "Oh!" The leaders shouted loudly, looking very energetic.

    In addition to courage and determination, Dong Fox even spent several months preparing simple siege equipment such as ladders, wooden shields, and battering rams.  They were dragged all the way by horse-drawn carriages, which was also the reason for their slow speed.

    It was not until dark that Dong Fox's troops arrived outside Dongjiakou Fortress.

    That night, they set up camp outside the fortress and set up scattered cavalry to guard them. The various Mongolian tribes lived as nomads, so they were naturally very skilled in this.

    In the evening, the Mongolians lit bonfires, killed cattle and sheep, ate and drank, and were so excited that they sang, danced and shouted wildly.

    Dong Fox did this not only to boost morale so that the men would have the strength to attack the city tomorrow, but he also did it deliberately to show off to the Ming army on the fortress.

    If the Ming army is timid, the howling of ghosts and wolves this night will scare them into sleepless nights, and they will not have the strength to hold weapons tomorrow.  If the Ming army is bold, they can be lured out to steal the camp.  Changbald and his five thousand soldiers and horses had long been lying in ambush in the dark, waiting for the Ming army to arrive

    It¡¯s a pity that the Ming army failedGo.

    Dong Fox stood on the hillside with strong energy, looking at the Shijiayu Fortress less than two feet away, feeling very good.

    "What kind of bullshit is Qi Jiguang? He's a famous general. How can he be tricked by me, Dong Hu?" He couldn't help but smile proudly to the left and right: "If he can still show up in Shijiayu, I think he has the ability!"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard the familiar sound of war drums ringing from the top of the city, and then a big flag with a blue background and a banner on it slowly rose, with the six characters "Qi, the Chief Military Officer of Ji Town" written on it.

    The majestic Marshal Qi appeared again.

    On the Shijiayu Fortress, thunderous cheers erupted again.  The garrison officers were also infused with courage

    "What the hell is this?!" Dong Hu's eyes nearly stared down.  "Does Qi Jiguang know the art of cloning?!"

    ps. No more tonight, let¡¯s fight again tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
