Wang Wu didn't know much about the art of war.

He still knows a thing or two about the principle of capturing the thief first.

Since Du Min, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Qing army, set up his headquarters in Cizhulong, 20 kilometers away from the main battlefield, to "watch the show", then Wang Wu had no reason not to take advantage of the enemy's headquarters.

The course of action is feasible.

First of all, the main forces of the Qing army, Tian Heng and Wanhe, were besieging Liu Tichun who had retreated to Beilizhuang Jedi. Therefore, even if the Cizhulong Manchuria headquarters was attacked, they would have no time to take care of it and would be unable to send troops to rescue him.

Secondly, the "arrogance" of Du Min, the deputy governor of Manchuria, created favorable conditions for the Ming army to attack.

Because Du Min scattered his Manchurian soldiers near the war zone to carry out "sweeping hole" missions similar to raids, this meant that there would not be too many Manchurian soldiers around him.

At most one assistant!

Zuoling is the Chinese translation of the "Niu Lu" of the Eight Banners in the past. When the Qing army was at its peak, the number of Manchu soldiers generally did not exceed 300. Nowadays, a Zuoling Zhenman can have up to about 200 people, and there are also Aha who are not less than this number.

As long as he moves quickly enough and by surprise, Wang Wu believes that he is 60% sure that he can take down Du Min's command!

Even if Du Min cannot be killed, the Manchurian headquarters in Cizhucage can be plunged into chaos.

At this critical moment of the war, the chaos in the rear would be infinitely amplified, which would lead to Tian Heng and Wan He who were besieging Liu Tichun to withdraw in a hurry because they could not figure out the situation.

In this way, the siege of Beilizhuang can be solved, and maybe we can cooperate with Liu Tichun's remnants to attack from inside and outside, severely injuring Tian Heng and Wan He, these two eggless guys.

"This time, it's a surprise attack on the White Tigers, and I'll cut out the heart with one strike!"

During the mobilization, Wang Wu didn't know how he suddenly said the term "White Tiger Group". Maybe it was because the impression in his previous life was too deep-rooted.

Everyone was puzzled as to why they used the term "White Tiger Regiment", but they all knew that what Wang Wu was referring to was the command post of the Manchurian deputy commander.

"I will fight as the general says!"

The first person to respond to this adventurous action was Xu Lin, the former green camp sentry, who was gearing up with excitement.

"If we can kill that Tatar leader named Du Min, we can really cause chaos for the Qing army. Once the Qing army is in chaos, Liu Shuai will be able to save him. Captain, count me in!"

Archer Zhao Jinzhong, who rarely spoke, was very interested in the surprise attack on the Manchurian command post. When he was talking, he was inspecting dozens of Tatar bows that he had just captured.

It has to be said that the big bow used by the Tatars is much stronger than the bows and arrows used by Zhao Jinzhong and others before. Not only the ring string pad on the bow was changed to a fixed grooved string pad, making it look taller.

The string pad is also equipped with leather to cushion the huge force of the bow string when it is released and rebounded. This not only reduces the impact on the bow itself, but also prevents "bow tipping".

At the same time, it can also ensure stability when shooting. The arrows shot are so powerful that they will not be defeated even when faced with fire guns. They are even more powerful than fire guns at a distance of tens of meters.

One arrow can break through the cotton armor worn by Ming army soldiers!

If the Ming army hadn't taken advantage of the camouflage and successfully launched a sneak attack this time, and if they really fought hard against the Manchu soldiers, even if they could win, they would not be inferior to the opponent in terms of casualties.

Zhao Jinzhong, who was good at using bows, got so many good bows at once, and he was so happy that he and his subordinates exchanged their shotguns for cannons, and all of them were replaced by the big bows of the Manchu soldiers.

Cao Diwei raised his sword and asked for a fight: "Captain, I'll go!"

"General, you can't leave me, Jiang Tiancheng, behind in such a good job of killing Tatars!"

"Aba Aba!"

The mute Zhu San kept gesturing to the captain, extremely anxious.

"Boss, we have never killed a Tatar official in our whole life. This time you have to make us more impressive!"

Blind Wansi and Gou Sheng no longer wanted to be looked down upon, so they both shouted that they would go with the captain to fight the White Tigers.

Military morale can be used, morale can be used.

Since it was a surprise attack, not many people could be involved in the operation.

In order to ensure that he could reach the Cizhu Cage as quickly as possible, Wang Wu decided to take only 200 soldiers who were agile and good at climbing with him.

Why should you be good at climbing?

Because we had to get to Cizhulong before the Manchurian soldiers escaped, we couldn't walk along the mountain path. We had to cross some not-so-easy roads and even climb the cliff.

The risk factor is not low.

Wang Wu left the matter of selecting people to Tian Wen. After he left, the latter would also lead the remaining people to wait for the rear team to set off together.

When Tian Wen and Gou Sheng were selecting people, Wang Wu ordered Cao Diwei to bring Na Kang Enbei and two Aha.

Before Kang Enbei could speak, he suddenly drew his sword and chopped the two Han people, Aha, to the ground.

The blood spilled all over the floor was so horrifying that Kang Enbei's legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground.

"You don't have to be afraid. I won't kill you. As long as you do what I tell you, I will let you go when the thing is done."

Wang Wu wiped the blood-stained sword on the corpses of the two Aha, looked sideways at the pale Kang Enbei, and actually smiled and said: "You must know that I killed these two people for you."

"..."

Looking at the Ming general in front of him, and then at the two killed Aha, Kang Enbei swallowed his throat and said with difficulty: "As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to obey your orders."

I'm not very fluent in Chinese, so it sounds a bit stilted.

Wang Wu nodded slightly, he didn't like fools.

A fool cannot understand what he means.

He really killed these two Aha's for Conn.

The reason is simple. From now on, no one in the world will know what Kang Enbei has done except him, Wang Wu.

Kang Enbei obviously understood this point. Deep down in his heart, after the torment of life and death, he finally chose life.

Even if the price of this life may be the life of the Vice-Capital Commander.

.......

Wang Wu walked towards the group of women who had been rescued by the Ming army.

There were about seventy or eighty people, the older ones were about fifty years old and the younger ones were only twelve or thirteen years old.

Some are the family members of the Ming army from nearby villages, and some are ordinary people.

Without exception, they are all poor people who have lost their relatives.

As time goes by, the women no longer have the previous panic. Some are still immersed in the pain of their loved ones being killed, while others have gradually calmed down.

Looking at the busy Ming army around them, some women were curious because they found that some soldiers had braids and some did not.

There was a woman who knew what was going on. Her name was Cheng Chunmei, the wife of a Ming army general.

The young woman who first picked up the knife to kill the Manchu soldiers.

Cheng's husband was killed when the Qing army attacked. His thirteen-year-old son was shot to death by Qing soldiers while avenging his father's death. His six-year-old daughter was hugged by her grandmother and jumped off a cliff together.

Now, she is the only one in the world.

Seeing Wang Wu walking towards them, Cheng Chunmei stood up subconsciously and asked softly: "General, are you going to Laomukong?"

Wang Wu didn't speak, just nodded.

This nodding action made Cheng Chunmei's face darken: "Is the general going to leave us here?"

Wang Wu didn't know how to answer the woman's question. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "The current situation is extremely dangerous. It can be said to be the last moment of our Ming Dynasty. To be honest, I don't know how long we can last."

When Cheng Chunmei and other women heard these words, they naturally thought that the young general in front of them wanted them to find a way to survive on their own because they could not protect themselves.

But the young general in front of him spoke again: "But don't worry, as long as we men are here, we will never leave you behind."

The voice was calm, not impassioned.

But this voice sounded so firm in the ears of the women.

Wang Wu didn't have time to talk carefully with these women. He could only hand them over to the rear team. When he left, he glanced at the women and said, "We have captured a lot of Tatar soldiers' weapons. If you are willing, you can each take one." It’s up to you to decide what to do.”

After saying that, he turned around and headed to the team that had been selected.

Seeing that the soldiers with shaved heads and the soldiers without shaved heads in the team were standing in two distinct camps, Wang Wu suddenly took off his hat and used a dagger to cut off the green hair on his head one by one.

"Shave your hair!"

Gou Sheng, who understood Fifth Brother's thoughts best, took off his hat without hesitation when he saw this, and imitated Fifth Brother's example of cutting off his own hair.

"Shave your hair!"

"Shave your hair!"

With the sound of shaving hair, strands of black hair fell to the ground in the wind.
