Chapter 464: A Terrifying Ten Thousand Landmines
"I said Da Niu, don't be so nervous, it's okay, if you go to the battlefield, you can kill one enemy enough, kill two people and earn one, it's just a big deal, and after eighteen years, you will be a good man..."
"Who says it's not, big cow, little dog, as long as you follow the usual training method, you should be fine, not to mention that even if you die, someone will remember us and see you off? That is called the dignity of death, and the value of death. ”
"That is, haven't we already asked the class leaders who can write to write their last words? If we are really dead, as long as our family is still alive, no matter where we wander, there is a chance to be found and taken care of, even if this is the case, what is there to fear? ”
This is the scene when several temporary auxiliaries get together, not far away, the young man who is the captain of the ten-person team, that is, the leader of the auxiliary squad, watched what happened on this side, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping it, and he really went to the battlefield, and some things needed to be enlightened by others, but it was more important to figure it out by himself. That is the case, it is better to watch them comfort each other and relieve each other's stress.
Sure enough, after the enlightenment of several other brothers who were called comrades-in-arms, the big cow and the little dog, who were still a little nervous and even trembling all over their bodies, were no longer so afraid, and there was more light in their expressions, and they were even getting brighter and brighter.
As other comrades-in-arms said, once you become a soldier, you will go to the battlefield, and there will be life and death. If you want to open it, why be afraid of death? Not to mention that once something really happened to them, the great Ming loyal and courageous man had promised them that he would find their families as much as possible, and then take them to a very beautiful world to live happily.
When I think of my meritorious service or death in battle, the result is not bad, and I even have a chance to achieve a better fame, so why not fight, not fight.
After the enlightenment, the two came to the spirit, and unconsciously, the friendship between the soldiers of a class became deeper and deeper.
Something like this happened not only in this one squad, but in the entire fourteen battalions, at least half of the 5,600 temporary auxiliaries went through this. Under the encouragement and encouragement of other comrades-in-arms, one by one, the fear of war was unraveled, and the fighting spirit began to condense and sublimate, turning into a strong morale waiting for the advent of war.
The war is indeed about to begin...
10,000 Jiaozhi troops were the first to arrive, and the remaining 10,000 Han prisoners also arrived five kilometers away from the mercenary camp two hours later.
"Order the whole army to surround it, first form an effective encirclement, and then rush down while it is still dark." Ruan Yongyang, who had already seen the nearby terrain, issued military orders to his commanders.
"General, the army is too tired to travel, do you want to rest well for a night and fight again tomorrow." Out of sympathy for the soldiers, a commander spoke to Nguyen Vinh Duong, whose eyes were shining.
"Huh." Seeing Ruan Yongyang sneer, he said, "Haven't you heard of the speed of soldiers? Even if you think that our army should take a good rest, and the enemy must think so, then we can definitely play a very good role in killing them suddenly at this time, and we will definitely be able to kill them by surprise. Okay, just do what General Ben orders, but who dares to question it, military law. This battle is definitely a great opportunity for Ruan Yongyang to make meritorious contributions. Especially today, the sky is still beautiful, the original light rain stopped at noon, and without the rain to stop it, this is the opportunity for the army to attack.
In one go, take down the mercenaries, that is a great achievement. And once you rest, who knows if anything will happen?
Ruan Yongyang has ordered and arranged it like this, so who of the commanders below would dare to question it, and then they went down to prepare after holding their fists and agreeing one by one. The general only gave them half an hour to prepare, and they still needed to rush to their respective positions during this time period, which was really tense.
What the? Some people say that soldiers are hungry on the road, so do they eat some hot food first in battle?
Hehe, forget it. Once you're full, what if you don't want to move? Anyway, everyone was given a certain ration before they came, although it should be all dry by now, but with the rain that has just fallen on the side of the road, they can swallow it, and wait for a good celebration after the victory.
Yes, there is not so much attention to when marching and fighting. Especially in ancient times, even things like water bags were not available to everyone, at least only those above the rank of commander could have them, and most soldiers would just find a stream or even ditch water on the side of the road when they were thirsty and drink it.
Feeling dirty? That's you're not thirsty.
Feeling unhygienic? I'm sorry, but people didn't have so many ideas at that time.
It is precisely because of these bad habits that the attrition of the army has become very serious. The combat effectiveness of the army has also been weakened as a result, I don't know how much.
Fortunately, nothing like this will happen to Yang Jiajun. What they eat is nutritious and safe, and the water they drink is also boiled warm and cool. Even if the war is too long and the conditions are not enough, military discipline requires everyone to drink as much flowing water as possible, or directly to drink rainwater, like the stinky water in the ditch, which is absolutely forbidden to drink. For this matter, there were soldiers who violated it, were given a good corporal punishment in front of everyone, and received five killing sticks, which was really skinny.
The fight was ruthless, and the effect was really good, and soon everyone remembered this incident, and no one committed it again. I have to say that it is still good to be harsher in military discipline sometimes, after all, some people eat this set.
Besides, Ruan Yongyang has already ordered a quick battle, in his opinion, he has an army of 20,000, and he suddenly appeared in a situation of encirclement, dealing with only more than 10,000 people, how to win the game. After all, when there is a war, the side that takes the initiative to attack will more or less take advantage and hold the initiative.
The Cochin Army began to move, and this scene was clearly seen by the scouts who were lying in ambush everywhere.
To say that these scouts are the best in disguise assessment. As a result, the hiding places they are looking for are very hidden. For example, just as Nguyen Vinh Duong gave the order, there was a scout soldier ambushing on the dirt bag a hundred meters away from them.
The reconnaissance squad leader named Xu Yunsheng is also a master of art and bold, and the reason why he chose such a position is to be able to better observe the situation on the front line. And he also paid some price for this, for example, several Cochin soldiers once poured urine on the ambush site where he was disguised.
When these hot currents came down from the air, Xu Changsheng didn't close his eyes, but let those things flow on his body, and he held back. It is this kind of perseverance that will also make him fully prepared for the next great achievement.
Ruan Yongyang knew this again, he just saw that victory was beckoning to him, especially when the scouts came one after another, saying that the mercenary camp had not changed too much so now, and he didn't seem to notice their arrival, this Ruan Xiao General was even more convinced that he would win.
Since he got the news all the way out of Quang Nam Mansion, he didn't stop at all, and he arrived here in more than two days. Presumably, this kind of speed was not expected by the opponent, and even if you did not expect it, then be prepared to pay a heavy price.
Didn't Yang Chendong think of it? Is it unprepared?
With 10,000 mines buried around the barracks, what else did he need to prepare? Prevent anything?
Even in order to allow the opponent to come to a comprehensive encirclement and all-round impact, the camp site he chose was still very empty, and it seemed to be accessible in all directions, which was conducive to the battle of the large army. In order to attract the Jiaozhi army to pounce with all their might. Otherwise, he could have found a place with steep terrain to stay, wouldn't it be safer to come to a road from Guhua Mountain?
Speaking of which, the reason why Yang Chendong put the first battle of Jiaozhi here, and replaced the offense with defense, is to let everyone have a process of adaptation.
If the army was full of cold fronts and auxiliaries, he would not choose such a way of fighting, but would look for a suitable place to take the initiative. But when the number of temporary auxiliaries was already equal to the number of Leng Feng and the auxiliaries, he had to be conservative.
And as long as this first victory is won, everyone's morale will reach an unprecedented high. The next battle will be much easier. It is for this reason that the first battle must be won.
Fortunately, there are 10,000 mines waiting in ambush outside, and Yang Chendong doesn't have to be too excited, just let all the soldiers prepare to fight back, and then wait for the mines to sound.
While Yang Chendong and more than 12,000 soldiers were waiting, the first roar finally came out, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making the originally quiet rainforest suddenly lively.
The reason why it became lively is that after the first roar, the sound did not stop, and appeared one after another, so that in a few moments the whole earth seemed to begin to tremble.
That's a full 10,000 mines, even if one mine only sends two people to the sky, there will be no one left of these Cochin soldiers, think what a magnificent scene it is!
"Boom, boom!"
The loud noise continued, and in the ears of Ruan Yongyang, who was waiting for the news, his face became more and more ugly.
The Cochin Army was not completely useless, at least they had inquired about the strength of the mercenaries before. Because of this, I knew that under the Gaozhou Mansion, 20,000 Miao troops were bombed. Therefore, when launching the attack this time, Ruan Yongyang also made some preparations, such as what army formation should be dispersed, like what to try to let the Han prisoners rush to the front, and so on.
