Chapter 657: Blocking and chasing
Is that right?
That's right and that's not right!
Yes, because this is indeed the way it has developed in history. But Yang Chendong appeared, history has deviated from the original track, and Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, only fixed the ruling power of influence in the north, which gave him more energy to put things on controlling the Nuer Gandusi region.
Since Zhu Qiyu started doing this, not only has Beiming's control over this place become stronger, but the guards here are no longer useless, and the number of soldiers has also expanded a lot. It has become a conscription warehouse in Beiming. If there is a war with Nanming one day, a steady stream of troops will be sent to the front line.
And it is such a conscription warehouse, which was put on the table by others, it is conceivable, but how angry the generals of the guards who heard the news would be, this is no longer riding on the head of the tiger, but riding on the head of the tiger to.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Yela also saw the truth clearly, so when he spread the news, a large net against the Five-Star Army also began to unfold, and a big war was inevitable.
Narcissus Town.
After a three-day public trial and a seven-day conscription assessment, the 6,600 recruits were selected and officially assigned to the divisions, regiments, and battalions.
More than 6,000 people were added at once, just because the number was far more than the original number of mercenaries and five-star troops, which inevitably reduced the combat capability of the five-star army, and even lowered the mercenaries who were a first-class strong army to the ranks of the second-class army for a time.
This is the throes of army expansion, and it is inevitable. Fortunately, with the leadership of Yang Chendong, as long as they go through the baptism of war, he believes that the five-star army will definitely shine with their due light and re-enter the ranks of the first-class powerhouses.
After a twelve-day stay in Narcissus, the team of nearly 12,000 people was finally leaving. Before leaving, Yang Chendong left behind a lot of weapons captured in the Bade Department and the Bagen Department, according to him, there are nearly 8,000 young and middle-aged people in Narcissus Town, and 50,000 people, they belong here, and they also have the right to defend their own rights and interests, and these weapons are left for them to use to form their own army.
Yang Chendong believed that if Narcissus Town, which had weapons, could be strong and unanimous, there should be no one to take the initiative to bully them. Of course, a person's path still has to rely on himself, and Yang Chendong can't care about them for a lifetime. Maybe one day, his troops will be pointed at Nu'er Gandusi, and the people here will really be liberated.
Yang Chendong didn't know how long he would have to wait that day, but one thing he knew was that his current task was to rush to the Warat region, if they could fight with the Northern Ming, he would not make a move, but would advance to the northeast, try the Mongolian cavalry, and if possible, he would also go north to the Golden Horde, which was also ruled by the Mongols and was also the Russian region of later generations.
As a country across the Eurasian continent, Russia has not yet risen at this time, and has been living under the rule of the Mongols for more than 200 years, and the Golden Horde at this time in history is in a period of post-decline.
Of course, there must be a premise before doing this, that is, to balance the military strength of the two countries of Beiming and Warat, only when they are balanced, under mutual checks and balances, can he pull out his hand to solve the Mongolian affairs, otherwise, he will inevitably have to shoot at whoever is strong. After all, whether it is Warat or Beiming, any force becoming strong is not the result that Yang Chendong wants to see.
After having the purpose, according to the previous military plan, the army of Narcissus Town went to the west of the Warat area.
Compared with before entering Narcissus Town, the five-star soldiers were much stronger, and when they walked on the main road, they also looked much more powerful, and it was obviously a little difficult for such a large army to restrain their whereabouts, so they were quickly targeted like poisonous snakes by the Beiming cavalry who came out of Sachahe City and Taining City.
This time, Yela Qianhu personally led the three hundred cavalry of the Sacha River Guard. He was accompanied by three hundred cavalry from the city of Taining, commanded by Liu Dai, the deputy Qianhu.
A total of 600 cavalry hanged behind the five-star army, you are slow and he is slow, you are fast and he is fast, a picture shows that I can't beat you, but I must bite you to death.
Beiming's cavalry suddenly appeared behind him, and the news was sent to Yang Chendong who was hurrying on the white dragon horse as soon as possible, and Xu Yunsheng, the reconnaissance battalion commander who was also riding on a horse, came to Yang Chendong's side, and with the blessing of expanding the army, he refilled the battalion and returned to the position of battalion commander.
"Sixth Young Master, we have inquired clearly, and the Beiming cavalry of Sacha Hewei and Tainingwei who are following us are Sacha Hewei and Tainingwei, and they share six hundred horses. By the way, one of the two thousand households leading the army is called Yela and the other is called Liu Dai, they are both Jurchens, and they heard from the captives that they are very capable of fighting. Xu Yunsheng said excitedly.
Although both Yela and Liu Dai were very careful, if they wanted to keep up with the Five-Star Army, they would inevitably send scouts to accompany them, just two hours ago, Xu Yunsheng injured the opponent's two scouts on the horse with the Ninety-Five Style of long-distance wounding the enemy in his hand, and took these out of their mouths, so he hurried to report.
"Six hundred cavalry? Jurchen generals. After hearing this, the corners of Yang Chendong's mouth twitched slightly and smiled, "It seems that our matter in Shuixian Town has been spread, and even they should already know the fact that we snatched away more than 2,000 war horses from the three places of Jianzhou Beiwei." ”
Xu Yunsheng was originally still complacent about figuring out some information about the enemy, but after listening to Yang Chendong's analysis, his face was naturally full of puzzlement, "Sixth Young Master, shouldn't it, we have done a very clean job from beginning to end, although many people in Narcissus Town know about this matter, but we just left there, the news shouldn't spread so fast, right?" ”
"Haha, there are no absolutes in things, who knows if there are any other channels in Narcissus Town that can get the news out there?" Yang Chendong shook his head lightly, he would never underestimate any enemy, let alone think that he was the smartest person. For whoever does this will not live long. It's always right to think for the best, but it's always right to prepare for the worst.
"Okay, immediately increase the number of scouts in the front army, if I guess correctly, there should already be people waiting for us in the Liaohe area in front of us." said that he was not in a hurry, but his attitude was very firm, all of which fell in Xu Yunsheng's eyes, which made him very puzzled. How did the sixth young master know that there would be an enemy waiting for him ahead, he was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, okay?
But even if this was what the sixth young master said, of course Xu Yunsheng couldn't object, so he just agreed with a half-believing idea and rode away.
The Liao River is a big river that stops the path of the Five-Star Army. There are only two ways to enter the Warat area from Shuixian Town, either to the north over the mountains and over the Daxing'an Mountains, or to the west through the edge of the Liao River. Considering that the army is now all cavalry, and the difficulty of walking through primeval forests like the Daxing'an Mountains is not ordinarily high, Yang Chendong finally decided to take the Liao River.
Just want to pass through the Liao River, it is bound to return to the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Wei, so many troops want to borrow the road, I am afraid it is not easy, it is likely that a big war will be inevitable. Fortunately, Yang Chendong has been prepared for this, he is trying to train and train the army, and what can best improve the combat effectiveness of the army is, of course, a hearty fight.
It can be said that when Yang Chendong chose to take the edge of the Liao River and enter Wara, he was also ready to fight with the Northern Ming army. But what he didn't expect was that because of the reason of not going back, the news was leaked one step in advance, and at this time, at the edge of the Liao River, there was not only a nearby Beiming 30,000 guards waiting for him, but the Jianzhou Zuowei, Mao Lianwei, Shuangchengwei, Jianzhou Wei and Shenyang Zhongwei who got the news had already sent troops or had rushed to the northern source of the Liao River, or were rushing here.
The scouts sent by the reconnaissance battalion soon learned of the news, and after counting it in the hands of the battalion commander Xu Yunsheng, it was sent to Yang Chendong. At this moment, when Camp Commander Xu looked at Yang Chendong, there was a light of worship and respect in both eyes.
Without any reference clues and data, it is completely based on intuition and speculation to anticipate the possible situation in the next step, with such a thoughtful general, what is there to fear?
Yang Chendong did not show a trace of pride, but carefully flipped through the information gathered by the reconnaissance battalion in his hand. 300 infantry from Shuangchengwei, 300 infantry from Mao Lianwei, and 2,000 infantry from Jianzhou Zuowei, led by Tang Longtian, the commander of the command, have rushed to the bank of the Liao River; In addition, there are 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry from the Jianzhou Guard, headed by the commander Sun Hong; Shenyang Zhongwei sent out 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, headed by the commander Tongqian Zhu Dahai, plus 1,120 cavalry of 30,000 guards guarding the Liao River and 600 cavalry of Sachahewei and Tainingwei who followed behind, adding up to about 5,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 infantry, which is 10,000 enemies.
Suddenly, such a position was opened, obviously they wanted to get back the justice of the two thousand six hundred horses that had been robbed of the three guards of Jianzhou before. Can you really scare yourself just by relying on these centaurs?
If it was before he went to Narcissus Town, he might have some jealousy. But now, his strength has also grown, with 12,000 people, all of them are cavalry, they have the best horses, the most sophisticated weapons, and even the strongest combat power, even if nearly 7,000 people have been newly joined, Yang Chendong can still be very confident that the mercenaries are still a first-class strong army, and after having a strong horse, they can completely smooth out the weakness of joining a large number of recruits.
