1255 Before the war

Several remaining military generals from Zhenghuang Banner thanked with tears and then left the tent. Only Abatai was left alone in the tent. Because everyone knew that the result of the war would begin after dawn, naturally no one was left in the tent, and they all found excuses to leave and rest.

After all the people in the tent were gone, Abatai found Yue Le again. This time he almost allocated most of his personal soldiers to Yue Le. Then he found some people from the camp to replace his personal soldiers. In order to prevent others from seeing it, he even asked his personal soldiers to change their armor with the soldiers.

After everything was arranged, Abatai sent everyone out of the tent. He said to Yue Le: "This time you leave, you must hide your tracks and go back outside the pass as soon as possible! Never get traces by the Ming army. When necessary, you only stay in remote villages. After collecting food and water, you will kill people and burn the village. You can't leave a living mouth. Do you understand?"

Yue Le nodded to show his understanding. Then Abatai took out a thick letter and handed it to Yue Le, saying, "The letter must be handed over to Your Majesty in person no matter what! Whether our team can pass it down fairly depends on whether you can deliver the letter to Your Majesty!"

Yue Le said nervously: "Ama, I think it's safe to find a way to go back outside the pass. Can you tell Your Majesty yourself if you have anything wrong?"

Abatai sighed and said, "I can't go back outside the pass! Even if we break through the encirclement this time, we will suffer heavy losses! Your Majesty will spare me if you lose your troops and generals! Moreover, Your Majesty has never liked me, so only if I die here in battle, plus this letter, can he spare our team!"

At this time, Yue Le was so surprised that he couldn't speak! Although he was closer to Huang Taiji under Abatai's suggestion, he did not expect that the brothers had the same power as water and fire!

Abatai continued: "This letter contains all my observations on this Ming army. Their tactics, equipment, equipment, and the information collected for this period are all here. Be sure to hand him over to His Majesty himself, and you cannot pass through a second person!"

Yue Le's eyes were already crying when he heard this. Abatai sighed and said, "Oh, you

Don’t cry anymore! Didn’t it be said in “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” that generals are bound to be killed in battle, that’s the reason! So when you leave the tent, you will get into ordinary soldiers with your personal soldiers. Listen to their suggestions on the road!”

Yue Le could no longer speak at this time, but just nodded repeatedly with sobs. Abatai reached out and touched Yue Le's face, wiped his tears drying his tears and said, "Clean clean up quickly, and then do what I said! Remember, don't rush up at the beginning, we have a wall of villages, and it will take some time for the Ming army to bombard with cannons. Remember to wait for them to rush in, and you can only set off when our people are mixed with them."

Yue Le knelt down and kowtowed to Abatai three times in a row, saying, "Ama, my son is here!"

At this time, Abatai was no different from an ordinary old man, with tears in his eyes! He waved his hand to signal Yue Le to leave quickly, but he refused to speak again, for fear that his voice would choke.

Yue Le also knew that this was not the time when his children were in love. He put the letter close to him and walked out of the big tent. Seeing that he had left, Abatai whispered in the big tent: "It's going to dawn!"

When it was dawn, the soldiers under Liu Pei got up and prepared for breakfast. The cooks prepared a sumptuous breakfast for them. Each person had a large bowl of horse broth and a large piece of horse meat. As for steamed buns and pancakes, they could eat them casually.

There is no doubt that the source of horse meat is the Qing army's war horses killed by fighting last night. In addition to cleaning up the spoils, the greatest pleasure of the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield was to peel the horse's skin and chop the horse's legs!

Horse skin can definitely be sold at a good price. This is a private spoil and you don’t have to hand over it. Horse legs can be sent to the kitchen team for cooking.

Although the soldiers are not short of meat, most of the meat is marinated or smoked, so there is no fresh meat! Even rough meat like horse meat is definitely better than canned food.

When the soldiers gathered together for dinner after they received the meal, someone inquired about the war last night.

The soldiers who had the news naturally described it to everyone with a gaze. The three-point matter was said to be ten, and the soldiers who heard it were extremely excited!

After hearing the blood, everyone naturally had to discuss it. Some people said that everything should not be done by artillery soldiers. Today, they always need to kill more people, which made everyone cheer in unison.

There was a spearman who went to battle last night, but it was not his turn to do it. He disliked the artillery for being able to set off artillery from afar. He did not have the pleasure of stabbing people with a spear! Even the musketeers disliked them together! The musketeers fought back and said that we could kill the enemy from afar, so why bother to come forward and take risks?

The two sides talked very lively. If the artillery soldiers had not had a separate camp, they would be afraid that the three troops would be quarreled together. A sword and shield soldier was involved. If you all need our sword and shield soldiers to protect them, they were condemned by both sides! It was said that fewer and fewer troops were about to be eliminated, so how could they have the face to cause trouble?

Although the sword and shield soldiers are not angry, it is true that their proportion in the army is getting lower and lower. Moreover, not only is the scale of sword and shield soldiers no longer expanding, but they are even reluctant to maintain them! Many sword and shield soldiers have been transferred to musket soldiers or spearmen.

At this time, Liu Pei was taking officers to patrol the camp. Seeing that the soldiers were so full of morale, they were not naturally satisfied! Taking this opportunity, Qi Qitao complained to Liu Pei and asked for more artillery.

Liu Pei naturally agreed, and he said: "It is natural that there is no problem with more artillery, but the artillery factory will be expanded and it will take time to train craftsmen. In another year or two, the use of artillery can be supplied!"

Qi Qitao said: "Why does it take so long? I heard that the cannon is casting very quickly now!"

Liu Pei said: "It is true that the speed of casting cannons is fast. But the yield rate is also a problem. And you should also know that too many cannons are damaged if they are fired! In charge of the business, we don’t know how many cannons are destroyed when we practice training every year! In addition, we need artillery everywhere, so the speed is slower."
