~~~~~~

Man Gui was also very unhappy at this time.

Huang Taiji, this stupid donkey and turtle egg, is simply too deceptive.

This is simply a slap in their face.

However, Huang Taiji's fist at this time was simply bigger than a casserole. Man Gui really didn't dare to go up and challenge this bastard, because there was no chance of winning.

But~, how can he, Man Gui, be a vegetarian? How can he suffer the loss of being dumb?

After a moment, Man Guiyin spat: "If you can escape the monk, how can you escape the temple? Xiao Wu, clean up. Let's clean up the fortifications here first."

"Ai?"

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, but for a moment, he suddenly caught Man Gui's train of thought, and he couldn't help but admire Man Gui more and more.

It is true that they can't defeat the big bear Huang Taiji at this time, but~~, can they still defeat these little minions around them?

"Uncle Man, don't worry, my nephew will go take care of it right away."

Wu Sangui hurriedly saluted Mangui respectfully, and quickly went to the front to greet the brothers to clean up. After the deployment was confirmed, the trenches and earth walls had to be built quickly.

Looking at Wu Sangui's figure, Man Gui couldn't help but nodded secretly.

After all, he is a disciple of the general.

If you really want to work, you are much stronger than the bosses around you.

However, Huang Taiji's main force actually came over at this time, which is definitely not a good sign...

…………

Night falls slowly, like a dark-toned gauze covering the entire world.

In the temporary camp of Man Gui and Wu Sangui.

The brothers have lit many bonfires and set up many simple tents. They gathered together in twos and threes, eating simple dry food, chatting about the battle this afternoon, and warming themselves by the fire.

The brothers have been busy all afternoon today, and the results are pretty good. Not only did they disperse three groups of Tatars, and restrained the heads of about thirty levels of Tatars, they also obtained forty or fifty dead horses, and could even get a mouthful of fresh ones in the evening.

Eat barbecue.

Even though everyone has to use the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed tonight, with meat to eat and a sip of wine to drink, the brothers are in pretty good shape.

In the camp, in a temporary shelter built with mounds of earth, Wu Sangui carefully poured a glass of wine for Man Gui and said with a smile: "Uncle Man, my nephew has a drink for you."

Mangui took a deep breath from his cigar, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "Come on, Xiao Wu. You did a good job today. Let's go one by one."

"Hey, good to come. Uncle Man, my nephew will do it first as a courtesy."

Wu Sangui hurriedly smiled and drank down the glass of wine, and then carefully cut a piece of horse leg meat for Man Gui.

Man Gui smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, you are better than your father, and even better than your uncle. That's enough for tonight, let's just order and eat. Go back and rest early. Tomorrow, we will try to expand our results.

.”

Of course Wu Sangui understood Man Gui's strategic intentions, but he did not expect that Man Gui, who was addicted to alcohol, would be so restrained at this time. His understanding of Man Gui could not help but deepen.

After a moment, Wu Sangui hurriedly held up his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Man, I didn't drink well today. After I finish beating the dog Tartars, my nephew will serve as a host. I will definitely serve you well."

Man Gui laughed loudly: "You little monkey, it's good that you have such a heart. Your uncle Man Gui has remembered it."

…………

After leaving Mangui's earthen shack, Wu Sangui's humble smile just now suddenly turned cold.

Even Man Gui, who is usually very carefree, acted so cautiously at this moment. This... this is really a sign that the storm is about to come.

However, Wu Sangui has always deeply remembered a concept that Li Yuanqing instilled in him, "The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity."

Although the undercurrent is turbulent at this time, people can't see the direction for a while, but as long as he has military exploits in his hands and is active enough, coupled with his previous "great contribution" to saving his father, others may be passive, but he, Wu Sangui, has already taken over.

A very advantageous initiative.

Back in his earthen shack, Wu Sangui leaned against the cold but soft wall behind him, lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and looked at the lonely stars in the night sky.

Although Man Gui didn't mention the depth of that aspect in half a word today, Wu Sangui clearly felt that Man Gui must have noticed something.

In fact, this afternoon, although the brothers were exhausted from the charge, Dongzhimen was not too far from the camp outside Guangqumen. According to the horse power of the brothers, it could basically be reached in one charge. However, Mangui insisted on Dongzhimen.

Set up camp in this corner of the wall...

Especially the flexible and maneuverable tactics that Man Gui showed this afternoon, Wu Sangui seemed to have been given a slap in the face.

Wu Sangui never dreamed that a vulgar man like Man Gui could be so flexible and alert in a real war.

The key is that this tactic is not eye-catching at all. If it were his uncle, father, and his arrogant cousins, they would have scoffed at it and laughed it off.

But~, even with Mangui's seemingly crude tactics, they not only harvested more than thirty level Tatar heads today, but also obtained a lot of horse meat.

I was thinking wildly in my mind. At this time, a close servant came to Wu Sangui carefully and reported in a low voice: "Master, there is news from the master..."

As he spoke, he hurriedly whispered in Wu Sangui's ear for a while.

When Wu Sangui listened, he was already in a somewhat relaxed mood, but suddenly he couldn't help but become tense again, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The confidant's servant has been talking for a long time, and he still hasn't come back to his senses.

"Master?"

The confidant servant quickly reminded Wu Sangui carefully.

"Uh-huh."

Wu Sangui nodded slowly and took a long puff of his cigar, "I understand. If you continue to watch, you must report to me in time if there is any sign of trouble."

"yes."

Seeing the confidant quickly leaving the earthen shack, Wu Sangui's fists that were a little stiff couldn't help but slowly but hard hit the earthen wall around him a few times.

Today, on the front line of Yongding Gate and Zuo'an Gate, Commander Yuan's main battle formation was in a firefight with Abatai and Tanbai's troops under the city. The Beijing camp on the top of the city did not even fire artillery to support the battle...

this……

Wu Sangui couldn't help but think of the emperor's words that seemed to be a joke to him when he met the emperor last night: "Li Yuanqing is a weirdo that is not seen in thousands of years. What do Wu Qian think?"

At this time, a shrill cold wind blew from top to bottom, blowing Wu Sangui's body to a smarter state, and also blowing the cigarette butt in his hand to become even more fiery red.

For a moment, Wu Sangui wrapped his fur coat tightly around his body, took a deep breath of his cigar, and continued to stare at the lonely night sky, slowly thinking.

…………

Early the next morning, yesterday's battle reports from all aspects were gathered in Man Gui and Wu Sangui's camp.

Except for the two of them on the Dongzhimen side, the results of the battle were relatively smooth. For the rest, whether it was the southern front line between Yongding Gate and Zuo'anmen, or the western front line between Xizhimen and Xibianmen, the Ming army's results were not very smooth.

Especially on the southern route led by Commander Yuan, more than 20,000 elite Guan Ning cavalry troops were smashed to pieces by Tan Bai's elite troops with yellow flags in front of nearly 10,000 soldiers from the capital camp on the city wall. They were completely disgraced.

funeral.

If it weren't for the terrain, I'm afraid Tan Bai would have been able to lead his army into the main battle formation of Guan Ning's army.

"These fucking Tartars are so arrogant. Uncle Man, what should we do today?"

Wu Sangui said, secretly looking at Man Gui's expression.

Each mountain is higher than the other.

Especially as Wu Sangui's own quality continued to improve rapidly, he felt that Man Gui was by no means as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but respect Man Gui more and more, and he observed Man Gui more carefully and learned from Man Gui's skills.

Man Gui noticed Wu Sangui's respectfulness and couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter? Xiao Wu, you kid, do you still want to do the same as yesterday? Let's get some more Tatar heads?"

Although Mangui hated Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang as much as they hated flies, Wu Sangui was obviously much more sensible than Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, and more importantly,

Wu Sangui had already made a name for himself at this time.

Of course he Mangui didn't mind adding some more flowers to Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui was stunned when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Uncle Man, looking at this, the main Tatar force from Huang Taiji will not come today. Let's simply drive away these dog Tatars to avoid being an eyesore."

Man Gui laughed loudly: "Xiao Wu, you are very smart on weekdays, but why do you act stupid at critical times? Remember. If the main Tatar force does not show up, we must not act rashly. Be patient.

Let’s warm ourselves over the fire.”

"Well……"

Wu Sangui originally thought about rolling up his sleeves and having a big fight, but unexpectedly, Mangui poured a basin of cold water on him from top to bottom.

this……

But who is Wu Sangui?

In an instant, he came to some understanding.

If the main Tatar force did not show up, if they encountered each other again, they might not be as lucky as yesterday.

At this critical moment, if you can hold the head firmly in your hand, then that is your own merit.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, this little achievement may not be enough to plug the hole...

After a moment, Wu Sangui said with a hurried smile: "Thank you, Uncle Man, for your advice. If it weren't for Uncle Man, my nephew would have almost ruined the big thing."
To be continued...
