Chapter 705 Meet the wolves and ask for the moon
Liu Xingming actually already has his own team. Although there are not many people, the best is to know the roots and the bottom line, and to work together.
He took a hundred confidants, changed into fast horses, brought enough dry food for everyone to eat for about ten days, and immediately left the army and set out north.
The reason why I only brought dry food for ten days was to speed up.
After all, they have to distance themselves from Li Dingguo's army, so that they can perform tasks as quickly as possible.
Judging from the current situation of the Qing army, it is estimated that this kind of fortress is not confident to defend. As long as he properly fans the flames, he will definitely make the Qing army "retreat in the face of difficulties."
The biggest problem facing Liu Xingming now is not other than how to go to these forts more efficiently.
This is not an easy task. After all, Liu Xingming, including the more than a hundred people he led, has never had any experience in activities in Liaodong. It is no exaggeration to say that he has a slight slight look at him.
In this case, it is very likely that you will get lost, so how can you complete the task efficiently?
So Liu Xingming’s top priority now is to find a local people as a guide.
Not far north from Changdian Fort is a forest.
It was almost dusk when Liu Xingming led his troops to arrive. After some thought, Liu Xingming decided to spend the night in the woods.
Because the woods are relatively shaded, it is not easy to be discovered by the scouts of the Qing army.
The task they performed this time is very critical and must not be missed.
This is also an important reason why Liu Xingming only brought one hundred people to him. The fewer people came, the lower the chances of being discovered by the Qing army.
The space in the woods was limited, so Liu Xingming finally found a relatively open open space, so he ordered his men to stay on the spot.
The first thing you need to do after setting up a simple tent is to find dead branches to make a fire.
Creating fire is not only to bury the pot and make rice, but also to drive away wild animals.
Generally speaking, wild beasts will instinctively evacuate when they see the fire.
As long as the bonfire is set up, the Ming army's security problems will be solved.
As for the Qing army... no one should be stupid enough to wander around the woods in the middle of the night.
Even if there are three or two scouts, it doesn’t matter, just take it down.
Not to mention, after rushing for a day, Liu Xingming's stomach was already roaring.
He couldn't wait to sit by the bonfire, and instinctively swallowed his saliva as he watched the heat rising from the nest.
"Major General, I heard that the general who was stationed in Ningyuan was named Ebilong, and he was one of their famous generals."
"The bullshit famous generals are just blown up. If the Tartars really have famous generals, how could they be driven out of the detention in shame?"
Liu Xingming smiled disdainfully and said, "It's just a slap in the face and pretending to be fat, and he's just a general in the slut."
After a moment of pause, he continued, "But Ningyuan City is still very important. We must be very careful when we travel and we must never give any opportunity to exert force."
Liu Xingming knew very well that as long as these outer forts were removed, the Qing army in Ningyuan City would be like blind and deaf people without eyes and ears.
By then, King Jin and his father led the army to attack, and cooperated with the Ming Navy on Juehua Island to defeat Ningyuan in one fell swoop.
The Battle of Ningyuan was not a simple siege, but its significance was that the Ming army returned to Liaodong after nearly twenty years.
As long as this battle can be won beautifully and thoroughly, the prestige of the Ming army in the minds of the people of Liaodong will greatly increase.
It is natural that it will be a matter of time before it can be regained Liaodong.
The rice was cooked soon, and the personal soldiers gave Liu Xingming a bowl first.
Liu Xingming looked at it and frowned and said, "Why are you giving me so much and so real? Just like everyone else, there is no need to give me special treatment."
He has always liked to get along with his soldiers. The feeling of being arrogant will make him feel very uneasy.
The personal soldier smiled bitterly and said, "Look at what you said, can I still not know your temper? This time, Duke Lin specially instructed to take good care of you. How dare we disobey our lives?"
Liu Xingming was helpless. Since it was Li Laiheng's order, he would no longer argue.
After all, Li Laiheng was also the nominal commander of the Kuidong Army, so Liu Xingming had to give Li Laiheng face no matter what.
He had just picked up the chopsticks and was about to pull the rice into his mouth when he suddenly heard a sound in the woods.
Liu Xingming almost instinctively put down his chopsticks, then lifted his knife and stood up.
A group of Ming soldiers also stood up and drew their swords.
They move neatly and train well.
If the enemy attacks, they can respond immediately.
With a whooshing sound, dozens of roe deer jumped out of the darkness, and they rushed towards Liu Xingming and others at a rapid speed. Liu Xingming was stunned.
How come there are so many silly roe deer here?
Fortunately, these roe deer turned slightly when they rushed to the front and rushed over to Liu Xingming and others.
As soon as Liu Xingming's hanging heart was let go, dozens of pairs of glowing eyes appeared in the darkness.
And? Come again?
But what Liu Xingming didn't expect was that this time it was not a roe deer, but a wild wolf!
Dozens of wild wolves emerged from the woods one after another, and they looked at Liu Xingming and others cautiously.
The soles of his feet moved slowly and did not move forward quickly. Perhaps it was the bonfire set up by Liu Xingming and others that made the wolves hesitate.
Liu Xingming instinctively swallowed and spitted.
It is the first time he has encountered such a large wolf pack in his life.
No wonder those silly roe deer ran so quickly just now, it turned out that they encountered a pack of wolves.
The wolf pack was blocked by Liu Xingming and others for a while, and it should be hopeless to catch up with the wild roe deer.
But when wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, they always have to fill their stomachs.
After a winter of hunger, all the wolves were hungry and skinny.
They urgently needed to replenish energy to gain weight, so they saw that Liu Xingming and others did not retreat.
Seeing these wolves circling around them, Liu Xingming thought to himself that it was not good.
Could these beasts treat them as prey?
Generally speaking, wolves do not hunt people, especially so many people.
But because they are so hungry now that they have to try something.
Liu Xingming immediately ordered all soldiers to draw their swords and be prepared to start a war at any time.
Unexpectedly, the first battle to enter Liaodong was not with the Tartars, but with the wolf cub.
Liu Xingming was so amused and crying.
The wolves did not rush to launch an offensive, but instead circled around the Ming army over and over again, as if looking for flaws.
A gray wolf with a fur color and body shape that was different from other wolves stood at the farthest position, and Liu Xingming concluded that this should be the leader wolf.
What the wolf pack will do next depends on how the leader wolf will decide.
"Get my bow!"
Shoot the man and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first.
This principle is the same when dealing with animals.
Liu Xingming's archery technique is still very accurate, he wants to try it.
If one arrow can kill this wolf, all problems will be solved.
