Chapter 644: See who robs whom
"More than 3,000 cavalry, more than 2,000 infantry, and a lot of horses are used to pull things?" After listening to the report of the spies, Pote and Huili did not look at each other. This was a discrepancy from what they had known before about the five-star army, which only had more than a thousand horsemen, and it was not even small.
Of course, if they knew that Yang Chendong had originally given all the warriors war horses, if possible, it would be better for one person to have two. It was only because of the limited number of war horses that on the basis of the original cavalry regiment, the third regiment of Leng Feng and two auxiliary battalions were turned into cavalry regiments. Because the rest of the horses are not very suitable for war horses, they can only be used to pull goods, I am afraid that they will not fight the idea of the five-star army.
"This force should have just expanded the Five-Star Army, and it shouldn't have any combat power, if we can take it by surprise, we can completely defeat them. Not only that, but we can also get the money and horses in their hands, and even the soldiers can be used by us, and at that time our power will be nearly doubled, and in the face of Bagan, the pressure will be much greater. "It's not just a moment of silence that turns into excitement.
If the difficulty is greater, it means that the achievement will be greater.
Hui Libu's statement coincided with Bad's thoughts, and he made up his mind at the moment, and said with a hideous face: "Okay, we have also made some preparations, in this way, mobilize the knights below, and two days later, we will swallow each other in the name of trading." ”
......
A mercenary barracks twenty miles away from Narcissus Town. Ding Shan made a detailed report to Yang Chendong and the battalion commanders of each regiment on the course of his trip.
When they heard that Pote actually opened a hundred and fifty taels to trade a war horse, many officers showed angry faces, obviously they were a little resentful of this person's lion opened his mouth, which was obviously to slaughter them as fat sheep.
Yang Chendong didn't feel too much, but he just paid an extra 30,000 taels of silver, and he really didn't pay attention to it. But he was especially greedy, he saw it, and remembered that once he had the opportunity, he would definitely repay the other party's gift today.
Yang Chendong only planned to settle the matter first, and he didn't mean to be an enemy of Xiao Te immediately, and the other party's strength was not weak, unless they used muskets, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make too much money. Besides, even because of 30,000 taels of silver, there is no need to cause a big war, this excuse is not enough.
It's just that no one expected that the excuse would come soon. Xu Yunsheng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, appeared in the big tent and sent the news he had just received from Shuixian Town to Yang Chendong and the officers.
"Sixth Young Master, the Jurchens are moving. Our men have spent a lot of money to contact some Jurchen cavalry, and we have just received news from them that in two days, they will all be out in armor, and as for who the target is, it is not said. As soon as Xu Yunsheng entered the account, he told the first-hand information that the scouts had learned.
With armor, generally only when there is a military operation, the cavalry will wear it like this, after all, the heavy armor is not very comfortable to wear on the body. Two days later, it must have been very clear who was targeted. Everyone would not believe that by such a coincidence, the Jurchens would have other military plans two days later.
"Heh, hehe." Yang Chendong couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the news. He really came to Narcissus Town to buy horses, because it was far away from the guard station in Beiming, and the restrictions on buying horses here were small, and it would not attract anyone's attention. At the same time, he also came with the idea of seeing the strength of the Jurchens. But he really doesn't want to start a war here, it's not cost-effective.
But if someone else comes to provoke him, then the situation is completely different.
Are mercenaries afraid? Obviously, he is not afraid of things, as long as he angers them, no matter how powerful the opponent is, what it looks like, it is just one word - do.
Today's Yang Chendong holds the elite Leng Feng Third Regiment in his hand, and the facts have proved that although the strength of the cavalry regiment chasing the wind is not the strongest one, it cannot reach the first-class level, but it is still possible to become a first-class and a half-class and enter the quasi-first-class.
With such a powerful army, the Jurchens still dare to fight their own ideas, which can only show one point, the other party's appetite is too big and too greedy. It's no wonder that in history, they will have the idea of watching Daming after more than a hundred years, and they are such a character in their bones, I am afraid that it will not be easy to change.
It's a pity that what they want to provoke this time is mercenaries, and Yang Chendong won't be so polite. With the number of cavalry in his hands, it may be a big price to take the initiative to attack the opponent, but as a defense, hehe, it will be much easier.
Yang Chendong laughed, and Hu Mang and Yang Er, who knew him better, also laughed. This is the signature move of the sixth young master, and this laughter shows that the sixth young master is angry, and the consequence of being angry is that there will definitely be a big battle, and both of them are belligerents, so they naturally became happy.
"Come, let's not go, let's discuss the military battle plan in two days." Yang Chendong took the initiative to walk to the side of the sand table, and his eyes fell on the position he was in.
The Jurchens suddenly moved, and as one of their opponents, they naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the Mongol army.
Relying on Narcissus Town, the Jurchens and the Mongol army have long been you and me, and I have you, and it is very difficult for anyone to do something without telling the other side. So in terms of news, Bagen got it much earlier than Yang Chendong.
His general, Temur (meaning "iron" in Chinese), was in charge of recruiting new soldiers, and was urgently called to the barracks tent by Bagan, where he was told what might happen in two days.
"General, do you want to fight the idea of the Five-Star Army? Although Temur was tall, he was not stupid, and he quickly thought of a possibility.
"It should be so, otherwise, you don't think they will dare to fight our army." Bagan said proudly. Although he is indeed inferior to the Jurchens in terms of troops, he is a Mongol, and when the Mongolian cavalry had a glorious time, it was invincible in the world. Even now, although it has declined, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is far from being provoked by anyone. The Northern Ming army may have this courage, but the Jurchen soldiers led by Xiao Te will never dare.
Even if it wasn't against them, it could only be against the five-star army that had just arrived here. Thinking that when Ding Shan appeared here today, he had the appearance of a fortune boy, so it was no wonder that they had such an idea.
Temur learned from Bagen's mouth that Ding Shan came to buy a thousand war horses, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, "General, it seems that this five-star army is very rich, but the more this is the case, the more we can't let them succeed, otherwise, once we get the resources of the five-star army, I am afraid that no one can control their strength, and the gap between us will become bigger and bigger, which will be unfavorable in the future." ”
"Not bad." Bagan nodded heavily, and that's what he meant by calling Temur urgently.
"What is the general going to do?" Temur knew that even if Bagen knew what he meant, he must have thought of a countermeasure, but he just didn't know what to do next.
Without an immediate answer, Bagan seemed to hesitate, and after a few breaths he said, "Now there are three choices. First, we took the initiative to find Pote, even if it was a good thing, naturally it was impossible for them to be swallowed by one of them, and our two families could unite to destroy the five-star army and share the benefits; Second, unite the five-star army and fight against the people together, so that we can achieve the goal of inflicting heavy damage on the opponent, and from now on, our power will become the largest in Narcissus Town; Third, secretly tell the five-star army the news that the special is going to do it, and when they fight for a lose-lose situation, we will suddenly make a move and make a profit. ”
There were three options to choose from, and for a moment Temur was silent.
He considered the feasibility of these three options in his mind. The first one doesn't seem to work, and the Jurchens want to share the benefits with them when they can take the benefits alone? At least they are absolutely unwilling to share benefits with others.
As for the second way, although it may hit the Jurchens hard, the benefits will be very limited, and if they don't get the money, they won't be able to develop and grow, and if Narcissus Town doesn't have a huge force, it can only attract the attention of the Northern Ming army, and even attract them to send troops to deal with themselves.
On the contrary, there is only the third one, if it goes well, it can solve the enemy of the henchman, and you can get enough money from the five-star army to develop yourself. As long as they have money, they can attract more people to join them, and if they have a lot of power, it will be much more difficult for the Northern Ming army to deal with them. This is in line with their way of development and survival.
"The third." Temur made a decision after weighing it in his heart.
"Good." Bargan laughed and nodded, clearly leaning towards the third way as well. Now that an agreement has been reached with Temur, it is time to go down and prepare. They're going to have a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.
After the two generals came to an agreement, it wasn't long before a Mongol scout quietly left Narcissus and went to the mercenary camp twenty miles away, where he broke the news that the Bads might deal with them two days later.
In the camp, Hu Mang politely sent the scouts of the Mongolian army away, and then returned here, standing beside Yang Chendong, "Young Master, you really guessed it." It seems that the Mongolian army has a lot of ideas. ”
"Haha, this is the world of the jungle, and it's normal to have more thoughts. The key is to look at the strength, if you don't have enough strength, even if you have a smart brain, you can only protect yourself. Yang Chendong kept a confident smile on his face. He had said before that it was impossible for the Mongol army not to intervene in such an important matter, and it was not long before these words fell, and sure enough, they made a move.
