Chapter 659: Layout

As a member of the Northern Ming Army, the three generals are not unknown, today is to talk about the war over there, and it is impossible to say which day they will be mobilized to the front line by a paper order.

As a result, the trio was talking almost exclusively about the things over there, but they seemed to turn a blind eye to the five-star army that had arrived in front of them. Although the scouts had already reported that there were more than 10,000 people on the other side, and they were all cavalry, they still did not put it in the eyes of the three generals.

Perhaps they already knew about the Five Star Army's recruitment in Narcissus Town. In their opinion, how strong can a new army that has just been established show its combat power before it has been run-in? And they are the Northern Ming Army, representing the strongest country and army in the world, how can they be afraid of some new troops who have not passed the baptism of the battlefield? However, they have a lot of war horses, and when they defeat the five-star army, the three generals can sit down and discuss how to divide it.

The three generals drank and chatted like this, until they were all drunk, and then they dispersed one by one. It was only at this time that Sun Hongfang, the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, who was the highest-ranking commander among them, spoke, "General Zhu and General Tang, I hope that we can unite and regain glory tomorrow." ”

"Yes, please rest assured General Sun." Zhu Dahai and Tang Longtian also hugged their fists in a serious manner, and then strode out of the big tent in the army. At this moment, the three of them didn't take tomorrow's battle seriously, in their opinion, it should be like an adult beating a child, usually unwilling to see you in general, but once you stretch out your arm, a slap down is the time to win or lose.

The mercenary barracks are also unusually quiet at the moment. Except for the army on night duty, the others went to bed early after they had eaten their fill. Tomorrow will be a big battle, and all you need to do is recharge your batteries.

In the command tent belonging to Yang Chendong, there are still oil lamps that have not been extinguished. After having that qi, Yang Chendong often rests for two hours a day to ensure that he is energetic and energetic. At this time, he was not sleepy, and was standing in front of the sand table and watching carefully. Although he convened another military meeting before dinner, and studied all the problems that should be prepared and might occur, it can be said that he was a mistake, but before the war came, he still wanted to verify whether there was any negligence.

Some people may attribute all of Yang Chendong's achievements to Okura, but without his hard work and diligence, even if he could have won the victory, he would not have made such great progress in less than four years.

"Young master, it's almost three watches, let's rest." Hu Mang walked into the tent with sleepy eyes, and first patted Yang Er, who was standing aside and waiting to listen to orders at any time, and asked him to hurry up and rest, and walked over to the sand table.

"You're asleep." Yang Chendong raised his head and glanced at the tiger mang who came over casually, and then waved his hand again, "I'm not sleepy yet, and there is no need to be served here, you can go and sleep for a while." ”

"No need, young master, I started sleeping after eating at night, and I slept enough, hehe." When Hu Mang came to Yang Chendong's side, he had already recovered his energetic appearance. Then after looking at the sand table, he asked with some curiosity, "Is there something wrong?" "Nope." Yang Chendong straightened up, shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The preparation is already sufficient, as long as there are no accidents, the battle will be decided." ”

"Unexpectedly, it doesn't seem to rain tomorrow." Hu Mang also said very casually. After following Yang Chendong for so long, he knew that weather changes would sometimes become an important factor to affect the battle situation. But when he came out of his tent just now, he saw a sky full of stars, and it must be a sunny day tomorrow.

"Of course there will be no rain." Yang Chendong continued to smile, a confident light on the corner of his mouth, "Not only is there no rain, but tomorrow should still be a sunny day." In this way, you tell me to wake up the soldiers later tomorrow morning and let them sleep for an extra hour, no! An hour and a half is fine. ”

"Yes." Hu Mang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't figure out why he had to get up so late, but even though it was the order of the sixth young master, of course he carried it out with all his might. But I really thought to myself, could it be that it was because the troops had been marching and not getting a good rest that the soldiers were allowed to sleep a little longer?

In fact, this was not only the thought of Hu Mang, but also the other fighters who had gotten up an hour and a half later than usual the next morning.

They slept for about five hours this time, everyone was completely tired and full of energy, and they attributed the time they could sleep for an hour and a half more to the sixth young master is distressed by them, and they really didn't know at all, Yang Chendong did this, naturally he had his reason.

The 10,000 troops of the Beiming Guard did wake up very early, and they were woken up one by one before the sky was completely bright. Although some people didn't sleep enough, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts, but thinking that the five-star army had appeared in front of them, even if the other party didn't take the initiative to attack today, they would have to fight back, which means that there is bound to be a big battle today, even so, just a little sleep is nothing.

Not only the soldiers, but also Sun Hong, Zhu Dahai and Tang Longtian, who were the commanding generals, were also raised by half an hour than usual. Then it was time to make a fire and cook, put on armor, take out the war horse, and prepare for battle at any time.

The sky gradually brightened, followed by a bright day, and the sun began to rise, and under the clouds, it was a sign that today would be a sunny day.

"Hehe, the weather is good, but I just don't know if the mood of the five-star army will be good." Sun Hong, who had already ridden on the war horse, laughed at Zhu Dahai and Tang Longtian on the side, with a relaxed look.

The two generals naturally laughed in agreement, and at this moment they seemed to have seen the scene where a large number of war horses were captured by them and made war exploits.

"Report, the Five-Star Army has begun to move, and a cavalry of nearly two thousand has left their camp and is slowly coming towards us, which is currently about eighteen miles away from us." A scout came to the three generals on horseback, dismounted and knelt down.

"Is this the way to get started? Okay, let's explore again. Hearing that the Five-Star Army was really going to take the main attack, Sun Hong said disapprovingly, all this was within their expectations. The three generals had already agreed that the five-star army had come to the edge of the Liao River, and if they wanted to go over, they had to face them. At that time, there are only two ways to choose from: attack and defense.

But if you just defend, after a long time, the food and grass will not be able to be replenished, so the attack is the most likely thing to happen. Now that he heard that the other party had indeed sent nearly two thousand cavalry, of course he would not have the slightest sense of panic. On the contrary, there is some dissatisfaction with the fact that they have only sent less than 2,000 soldiers, and just such a few people are not enough for them to stuff their teeth.

The scout was ordered to ride his horse and turn around to probe again, and just after a pillar of incense, another scout returned and reported that the cavalry of the Five Star Army was only about twelve miles away from them.

"It's only taken a long time to run eight miles, hehe, the foot strength of the cavalry of the Five-Star Army is too slow." This time, without waiting for Sun Hong to express his opinion, Shenyang Zhongwei commander Zhu Dahai had already laughed. This person was slightly fat, and his smile made the war horse seem to be under great pressure to walk back and forth a few steps, and the battle armor on his body trembled with his laughter, which looked a little funny.

"Haha, yes, the foot strength of the cavalry of the Five-Star Army is too slow, so it seems that there is no need to worry." Sun Hong laughed and nodded. Now he is more confident in this battle.

After Commander Sun Hong and Commander Zhu Dahai said this, some of the other heads of thousands of households who followed them also nodded. Tang Longtian, the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, even shouted, "Inform the soldiers to cheer up and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The soldiers of the Beiming Guard, who were still a little lazy standing by the river, were greeted by the officials, and they all became energetic, some of them held broadswords, some of them held shields and bows and arrows, some of them held spears, and some of them were ready to reject the horse stakes, and they all began to act, just waiting for the cavalry of the Five-Star Army to appear, and they wanted to give these people a good look.

Twenty miles away in the five-star army camp, the soldiers slept beautifully, and after eating a nutritious breakfast, they began to wait for the military order to march. In the command tent, after waiting for a famous regiment and battalion-level officer to walk into the station one by one and form two rows, he looked at Yang Chendong, who was sitting in the first place.

After his gaze wandered around each officer, Yang Chendong, who was originally serious, suddenly smiled, and the voice of explanation came out one after another, "The plan has changed, and the general attack time has been extended back by two hours, but I don't know if everyone is ready now?" ”

"Report to the sixth young master, you are ready, you can attack and kill the enemy at any time." The officers were full of energy and said with bright expressions.

"Okay." Infected by it, Yang Chendong nodded with great satisfaction, then looked at Xu Yunsheng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion in the queue, and asked, "How is the bed bug (Beiming cavalry scout) solved?" Has the first and second regiments set off as planned? ”

Xu Yunsheng, who was named by name, stood up straight and held his head high, and said energetically: "Report to the sixth young master, thirty-two bed bugs were solved half an hour ago, and the martial master and political commissar Chen have already traveled as planned, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the designated location in one hour and launch an attack." ”

"Pretty." Yang Chendong snapped his fingers, looked at Xu Yunsheng and said: "The reconnaissance battalion has done a good job, after this matter is completed, you should take the first credit, and now, there is still a task to be handed over to you, you can solve the six hundred cavalry that followed behind, there is no problem." ”
