Chapter 205: Willow Town
"Yes, we're going to war." Tao Jin and the four of them raised their chests high, as if they were telling Yang Chendong with their actions that they were men and the little generals of the command division of the well-known Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Seeing that the attitude of the four of them was so resolute, Yang Chendong nodded heavily, "Even if you want to participate in the war, then Benhou can promise you." But there is one thing to emphasize, on the battlefield, no matter who it is, it is necessary to completely obey the military order, and if anyone disobeys, the military law will be engaged in it, and there will be no forgiveness! ”
Yang Chendong said seriously, but Tao Jin and the five of them were even more serious, they all nodded solemnly, indicating that they would obey Yang Chendong's orders and arrangements if they joined the war.
"That's the case, come here, I'll announce the battle plan below." Yang Chendong turned around and walked towards the sand table. While holding the whip stick in his hand and pointing at the sand table, he talked about the battle situation and issued orders.
"According to the report from the front, the Warat army was divided into three groups and came to the Beijing Division. At the head was a vanguard cavalry of 10,000, led by the general of Warat, Naigong. This person has been carefully studied, and he is a man who is not afraid of death, with an upright personality, and he kills people on the battlefield without blinking. But usually such a person will not turn around when doing things, if Ben Hou is not mistaken, he will definitely take the nearest road to Jingshi tomorrow, and Willow Town will be the only way for him..."
"Willow Town, there is only one big road in the east and west, and there are more than 2,000 people in the town and more than 500 households. The north and south of the town are surrounded by two ditches that are two feet wide and one foot deep. It can be said that once we enter it, as long as we block both ends, there is no other way to go. And all we're going to do is plug them up here. Where are Tengshan, Tao Jin, and Gao Li? ”
"The end will be." The three people named all walked out in one step and came to Yang Chendong.
"Ben Hou ordered, Tao Jin and Gao Li each brought a thousand soldiers, and Teng Shan took three companies of your headquarters with a hundred people to fortify at the exit of Willow Town. Remember, your job is to keep the enemy in check, not in the slightest advance, and you may be able to suppress the enemy's charge with a long-range shot with a strong bow. ”
"Yang Jie and Mao Fushou each bring a thousand soldiers, and cooperate with a company of 100 people led by Xiao Feng, and immediately give a closing action after seeing the Wara vanguard cavalry enter the willow ditch, which can contain part of the opponent's troops, reduce the pressure on the frontal friendly forces, and at the same time prevent the enemy from breaking out from here."
"Sun Wei, you take a thousand people to cooperate with the commander of the fourth company of Wusheng and wait for the support of the Chinese army of Wara, that is, the department of Polo Mao, to Naigong. No matter how fierce the impact is, you can't take a step back, and when the time comes, after Xiao Feng, Yang Jie, and Mao Fushou's troops stabilize the situation, they will come to support you. ”
"No, we can withstand it." Wu Sheng stood forward very confidently, looking like he could complete the task well and didn't need help from others.
"It's good to be confident, but don't be too stressed. Also, when you can't stand it, there will be an order for you, and then you can back aside and make a way for Polo Maona, so that he can also enter the willow ditch, and let him become a turtle in the urn like Naigong. Yang Chendong is very satisfied with Wu Sheng's performance, as a soldier, you must have the spirit of tens of millions of people, otherwise you will not be an excellent soldier.
patted Wu Sheng's shoulder and asked him to retreat, Yang Chendong's eyes fell on Leng Song and Yang Guang, who had not yet been named. "Your task is to contain the leader of Warat, and in any way you can't let them advance too smoothly. First of all, this person is very cunning, and his suspicion is very heavy, as long as he feels the danger, he will naturally not move forward at will, and when the time comes, give an order, you just lead the army to cover up and kill the past, and then it will be a great achievement. ”
"Yes." Leng Song and Yang Guang both agreed confidently. They absolutely believe in Yang Chendong, even if it is his order, then naturally it cannot be wrong.
"Okay, now that the order has been given, is there anyone else who doesn't know? If not, go back to the armory and get the strongbow, and remember, except for the cavalry, no one else should think about hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, only a long-range strike. After arranging all the tasks, Yang Chendong waved his hand calmly, although his blood was also a little boiling at this moment, but as a commander, he still had to maintain a calm side, and such a performance would play a vital role in calming the army's heart.
The military order was issued, and immediately the army was busy. The night of the Jingshi, which was supposed to be very peaceful, seemed lively and busy because of the movement of these troops.
The army had to make preparations before the war and go out of the city, and such a major event had to be reported to the emperor for his knowledge and consent. Yang Chendong handed over this task to Sun Boxing.
"Lord Yang, the last general really didn't mean it before, and Gonggong Jin sent someone to find him before, but it really can't be helped." Seeing that Yang Chendong was leaving this kind of thing to himself, Sun Yu hurriedly explained that he didn't want to offend Yang Chendong because of this, which is only good for now.
"It doesn't matter. You know your hardships and can understand them, so you don't have to think about it. Yang Chendong smiled, but this was just a formulaic smile, and no one could know what was going on behind this smile.
"No, Yang Houye, the last general really admires you, you have already regretted it after doing it once, please send someone else this time." Sun Yu kept shaking his head, looking like he wanted to show his determination.
"Okay, Ben Hou knows your intentions, in this way, should you report or report, this time Ben Hou asked you to go, it's different from last time." Taking a step forward and putting his hand on Sun Yu's shoulder, Yang Chendong smiled.
This smile was far more sincere than just now, and Sun Yu suddenly nodded knowingly. To be able to become the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, although the official position is not high, it also requires eight exquisite faces, and it also needs to be a smart person.
Sun Yu left satisfied, and went straight to the palace. Not long after, Jin Ying heard the news and met Sun Yu in person, and heard some arrangements and determination of Yang Chendong to fight.
"Is the main force of the Warat army coming? Commander Sun, do you think the odds can be this time? "Jin Ying doesn't know much about the battlefield, and he doesn't even know where Willow Town is. It's just that he is stronger than Wang Zhen in that he doesn't meddle in things he doesn't know, such as military matters, he doesn't understand, so he goes to ask for other people's opinions.
"The general is not very clear, but looking at the appearance of the loyal and courageous marquis, he should be very confident. At this moment we should choose to believe in Him. Sun Yu didn't dare to express his admiration for Yang Chendong, so he said in a different way.
"Yes, you should believe him, in this way, I will report the matter to the emperor immediately, and you will wait to get the tiger talisman." Jin Ying nodded and asked Sun Yu to wait in place, while he went to the harem to find the emperor.
I have to say that Zhu Qiyu is still very diligent, he hasn't slept at this time, and he is still reading some books that emperors must read. When Jin Ying said that Yang Chendong was going to lead the army out of the city to face Wara, his expression also became a little nervous. "Is the main force of Warat coming so soon? I don't know if the loyal gallant is ready. ”
"Your Majesty, with mercenaries to help, there will be no problem in the future. The Sun Yu Command Division of the Five Cities Terracotta Division came to ask for advice, asking the Tiger Fu army to get out of the city, your Majesty..."Jin Ying asked cautiously.
The regime of the Ming Dynasty was actually composed of three major forces: civil and military officials, eunuchs, and Jinyiwei. According to the previous rules, when the army goes out, it is necessary to have an accompanying eunuch as a supervisor, so that the emperor can rest assured. But things obviously didn't work on Yang Chendong, the last time he refused Ruzhu's entourage, and the emperor agreed. So if you want to send a eunuch this time, will the other party think too much? But if there was no eunuch accompanying him, he handed over the tiger talisman so lightly, once he had other thoughts, wouldn't the emperor even have the strength to fight back?
"What else to see, even if the loyal and courageous marquis is going to deal with the Warat army, just give him the tiger talisman. You can also rest assured, Yang Chendong is the youngest son of Lord Yang Rong, and he will not do anything to me. Zhu Qiyu obviously saw Jin Ying's worry. It's just that he has his own plans, in his opinion, Yang Chendong is a little more unique, but he shouldn't have any thoughts about the throne. Otherwise, when he saved Yingzong, he could have coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but people didn't do this, and now they won't do anything to rebel.
The emperor said so, of course, Jin Ying only nodded and agreed. Just for safety, he still said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go on a trip in person to see how the Loyal Marquis is prepared, is there anything that can help?"
"It's okay, then Aiqing will take a trip." Zhu Qiyu thought about sending Jin Ying forward, which was also a kind of attention, so he nodded and agreed.
Following Sun Yu, Jin Ying came to the garrison compound of the mercenaries. When he saw Leng Song here, he just nodded and said hello. This was also discussed by the two before, in front of Yang Chendong, try to pretend to be unfamiliar to confuse each other. How could he know that this was just Yang Chendong's intention, that is, to give Jin Ying hope and make him feel that he had a chance, so that the mercenaries and himself could be safe, and they could get more benefits.
"Loyal Marquis, is the army going to war?" After Jin Ying entered the conference room, he said knowing that the consultant was knowing.
"Yes, it has been arranged, just waiting for the emperor's tiger talisman." Yang Chendong nodded, and bluntly said that he wanted a tiger talisman, without the slightest intention of introducing the battle plan to Jin Ying.
