Chapter 480: Hermes-Epitek in Need of Dignity (3rd Watch)
Who is the enemy? The king's decree did not say it explicitly. But for Pan Wenfei, everything is not important, the important thing is that he can finally lead the troops to fight. I don't know how many times he envied the elders for galloping on the battlefield, and as soon as he received the order, he gathered the two thousand Cochin troops who were originally on standby and left the city.
It's not that Pan Wenfei doesn't want to take more soldiers out of the city, it's that he can only mobilize 2,000 people. In line with the idea that if you don't fight, you will go all out, not a single soldier left in the city, and they all followed him out of the city and rushed straight to Quyi City in the east.
At the same time that Pan Wen flew out of the city, the armies of Jixu and Longbian also began to gather rapidly, and sent troops to Quyi City three hours later. The only difference was that they brought only 1,000 soldiers, leaving a full half of the sergeants to defend the city.
The three cities in the north made a move, and the scouts who had been staring at them quickly reported the information to Yang Chendong in Quyi City. Seeing that it was really a fish that had been hooked, Yang Chendong, who was facing the three armies coming, not only did not have the slightest sense of fear, but on the contrary, laughed out loud.
"Very good, especially the general of the North Belt City, Pan Wenfei, performed the best, it seems that Hong Jin, you are still very accurate." Yang Chendong said with a laugh.
Hong Jin, who was standing respectfully on the side, bowed his head a little embarrassed and replied, "The subordinates are just lucky for a while, or they are loyal and courageous to plan for profit." ”
Before, Yang Chendong listened to Hong Jin's personality analysis of some generals in Jiaozhi. When talking about Pan Wenfei, he bluntly said that this person is a person who is very happy, and he always likes to talk on paper every day when he has nothing to do, and I don't know how many people have laughed at him for this matter. What is the difference between having never been on the battlefield and just thinking that you can win the war by operating on the map?
It's just that for the jokes of others, Pan Wenfei just thinks it's jealousy, and doesn't listen to persuasion at all. As one of the generals, Hong Jin naturally knew about this matter, so he reported the matter, proposing that once he learned that Qucheng was easy to occupy, this Pan Wenfei was afraid that he would play his set of paper talks, and it was likely that the whole army would be dispatched, revealing great flaws.
Yang Chendong still attaches great importance to Hong Jin's words. And in his opinion, even if the intelligence is not accurate, there is nothing, and to be honest, the 1,200 Jiaozhi army is really not in his eyes. Sending a cold front battalion at random, or even an auxiliary battalion, to deal with them is handy.
With such self-confidence, Yang Chendong, in line with the idea of Xinhongjin once, arranged for Leng Feng's battalion commander Chen Bo to ambush in advance on the way between Beidai City and Quyi City, and only waited for the other party to come out of the nest, so he took the opportunity to seize the city.
Now it seems that this arrangement is very correct. After praising Hong Jin in words, Yang Chendong immediately said to the other officers: "Now that the enemy has made a move, we will also prepare for action, and the troops will enter the battlefield according to the previous plan No. 1." ”
"Yes." After all the officers saluted in unison, they began to get busy. At this time, Li Li, the king of Jiaozhi, had no idea what kind of powerful opponent he was encountering this time.
The other party moved, and the Jiaozhi army, which had been calm for more than 20 years, was surging and the flames of war were burning. The straight-line distance from the north belt city to Quyi City is only about 180 miles, even if the road is uneven, and some places need to take a detour, but it is only more than 200 miles. In Pan Wenfei's opinion, these journeys can only be reached in three days.
If you want to talk about the comparison of foot strength, the Ming army is more than twice as bad as the Jiaozhi army, perhaps because they have lived in this mountain since childhood, and many people have practiced an iron footboard, even if they are wearing only cloth shoes, but the speed of walking is still not slow. One day can also reach about 70 miles, in addition to the beauty of the sky, a while ago there was a light rain weather, these two days have been completely clear.
The weather is so good, the drier the road, the faster the army is marching, all of which creates an illusion for Pan Wenfei, that is, this is the meaning of God, let himself hurry to Quyi City, and make the first military victory.
The marching speed of the northern troops is already very fast, but if it is compared with the second battalion and the two auxiliary battalions led by Battalion Commander Chen Bo, I really don't know how much worse.
Once there is no fighting, the cold fronts usually train 10 kilometers in the morning and evening, and if the weather is good at noon, they will come to a 5-kilometer warm-up. Under such high-intensity training, when it comes to speed, there is indeed no one who can compare. For the cold front, the distance of a day is only a few hundred kilometers, and if the matter is urgent, they can go faster.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
I don't know anything about the mercenaries, and I don't even dare to be completely sure whether the bottom of Quyi City is a mercenary, and the end of the Jiaozhi army seems to be doomed. Not to mention, Beidai City has long been scheduled to be won by Yang Chendong, how can the defeat be uncertain.
Just like now, when it was dark, Chen Bo took his three battalions of Yang Jiajun to pass quietly on the other side of the mountain, this kind of non-intertwined mode of action made Pan Wenfei completely in the dark, he didn't know that the old nest behind him, that is, Beidai City, was about to face the result of changing his surname, and he was destined to become a lone army, an army with no return.
In Quyi City, Yang Chendong was having dinner with two thousand Han people.
Yesterday's trial meeting was over, but all the Jiaozhi people in Quyi City who had treated the Han people harshly before, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, received their due retribution, which also made Quyi City, which originally had 30,000 people, now only about 25,000 people left
Two thousand people were killed, 3,000 were sentenced and imprisoned in the dungeon, which filled the whole city with a bloody atmosphere, and even the people of Jiaozhi who usually walked on the streets were much less.
It's just that although there are fewer people, the atmosphere in the city has become better. The wicked people have been killed, and the rest are some good people, who will nod their heads when they meet each other, whether they know each other or not, to show their closeness, but to dilute some of the murderous spirit. Especially the Yang family soldiers never bully people, as long as you abide by the law, even if you meet them on the street, they will not interfere with each other, as if they have not seen each other, which makes the remaining more than 20,000 Jiaozhi people feel a lot more relieved.
In addition, Yang Chendong ordered Yang Jiajun to open the treasury of Quyi City very early, and distributed the grain stored in it to the people in the city on time, solving their food problems, and the atmosphere in the city became much more harmonious.
Speaking of which, Jiaozhi was attached to Daming before, so the resistance in their hearts was not strong, and Yang Chendong intended to manage this place well, so that in just two days, the security in the city had a basic improvement.
Under the influence of the good atmosphere, not only did the Hanmes-Epitek feel warm, but even some bold people dared to come over to see the young demon king who killed people without blinking an eye just two days ago.
Tonight, Yang Chendong rushed to eat with the Han people in the square, getting close to the feelings between the two sides.
In fact, since yesterday, there have been no 2,000 Han people gathered here, and under the busy work of the two political commissars Kong Jie and Song Zhe and a group of political workers, the houses of those slain Jiaozhi villains have been vacated and provided for the Han people to live in and use. Let more Han people get their own houses, and I heard that once the situation is stable, the city gate can be opened to the outside world, and the land will be divided among everyone, which makes all Han people see hope.
Since ancient times, the earth has been the foundation of the people. As long as they have land, they can grow food, they can get a good harvest, and they can live.
It is precisely because Yang Chendong thinks about them everywhere and gives everyone dignity that the Hanmes-Epitek like this young man, even if many of them have already divided the house, once it is time to eat, they will still rush to the square to get together with the young master who brought them hope, eating and chatting.
In the face of these people, Yang Chendong never put up any shelves, but squatted and ate with everyone, and after eating, he sat cross-legged on the ground and chatted with everyone. As for the content of the chat, it's really varied, everything.
Even if there is no shelf, and he is so kind, he quickly got closer to the people. Then when Yang Chendong talked about some things and policies, he was able to get a positive response from everyone.
After two days of contact, the Han people also knew that this young young master was the loyal and courageous father of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed to be very good, after some bold people finished eating, they asked tentatively, "Grandpa Guo, you have laid down Quyi, presumably that old guy in Li Li must not do it, will they retaliate here." ”
Just from this title, it can be seen how much these Han people living in the country of Jiaozhi hate Li Li. Of course, this is also the dignity of having his own after getting along with Yang Chendong and them in the past few days, if you change the previous words, you will never dare to say such words.
"Yes, yes." When talking about this problem, many people's faces have changed, they finally have their dignity and hope for their future life, they don't want everything to disappear so quickly.
Seeing that everyone was so worried, Yang Chendong smiled, he knew that it was time to give everyone a reassurance, "Don't you all say that Li Li is an old guy?" Even if we are old, how can we be our opponents. Besides, you haven't seen how powerful our army is, except that there are fewer people now, and the combat effectiveness is very good, don't worry. Unless the enemy does not come, if you come, you can kill as many as you want, and when the battle comes, if you are interested, you can go up to the castle tower and see for yourself. It will be dangerous for others to defend the city, but we will not exist when we defend the city. ”
