Chapter 969: Training

Shen Xi took a careless attitude towards the soldiers who went out, regardless of whether they were encircled or annihilated, Shen Xi didn't see it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The purpose of actual combat training is to overcome all kinds of difficulties on oneself under dangerous circumstances.

Shen Xi found that the plans he had made before were too conservative, if he still lost the battle when most of the thieves had fled like Nanao Island and the troops had an absolute advantage, then it was better for these soldiers to go back to farming as soon as possible.

"My lord, isn't that okay?"

The temporary captain of the personal guard who is now following Shen Xi is Zhu Hong, who was promoted by Shen Xi, and he feels that he can't say anything if he doesn't save him if he dies.

Shen Xi glanced at Zhu Hong coldly, when did even a reckless man like you understand the battle situation? The thieves on this island suddenly faced so many Ming officers and soldiers, and it was too late to form a village to protect themselves, was it possible to unite to attack the officers and soldiers? In the current situation, both friend and foe are in the dark, and the best strategy is to respond to changes with the same.

Zhu Hong was pierced to the bottom of his heart by Shen Xi's glance, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and immediately kept silent.

The situation ahead is unknown, the fighting is still ongoing, and smoke is often seen rising everywhere, and all kinds of simple flares are flying all over the sky.

Shen Xi had previously issued an order that each battalion must retreat if it lost five people, and I don't know if it was because there was no major damage in the front, or because it was encircled after casualties and had to retreat, anyway, Shen Xi didn't plan to help. If even the small group of bandits in front of you want to make trouble to the point of losing their soldiers, it can only be said that they are too incompetent!

Approaching dusk, finally the first hundred households withdrew to the shore, and saw the appearance of the officers and soldiers one by one, and the officers and soldiers who stayed behind thought that they had suffered heavy losses and retreated, and when the hundred households with the troops came to Shen Xi to make a statement, people knew that not only did they not lose their manpower, but also had a lot of results: they killed three stragglers of thieves.

On the way, I encountered the camp, but unfortunately I didn't carry siege equipment and couldn't take it, and I remembered that Shen Xi said that there would be no night battle on the first day, and he must withdraw in time, so the people and horses would withdraw to the camp first.

There were one hundred and eight people when I went, and there were so many people when I came back.

Just as Shen Xi was checking the list of personnel one by one, the second, third, and fourth hundred households were withdrawn one after another, and each brought back his own loot and intelligence.

"My lord, the group of rabbit cubs of the Gui Army rushed to the front and have gone to Hulu Mountain!" As soon as Qianhu Zhang Qilin came, he brought bad news to Shen Xi.

"Nonsense, don't you let them stop in moderation and not go too deep?" Shen Xi was furious.

Zhang Qilin was speechless, he didn't agree with Shen Xi's way of fighting with hundreds of households as a unit, because it would seem that the soldiers and horses were very scattered, and it was likely to form a situation of fighting more with less in some parts, and in the process of fighting, each battalion basically fought separately, and the orders of the thousand households could not be conveyed to the battalions with hundreds of households as the unit, so that the officers of the hundred households leading each battalion regarded themselves as the boss, and only cared about fighting their own battles, regardless of others.

On the other side, Sun Xinian came over to report: "My lord, the cubs of the Guangzhou Left Guard...... also rushed away, at this time, I am afraid that it has been more than ten miles deep into the hinterland! ”

On this day, they first set up camp and built fortifications, and after the attack, they advanced more than ten miles to the heart of the northwest of Nanao Island, which was stacked with mountains, and even Shen Xi had to admit that this group of officers and soldiers had some ability.

Nan'ao Island is flat, the widest point from north to south is about 14 miles, and the east and west span 40 miles, but if you land from Houjiang Bay in the northwest, in fact, the east-west span is only 30 miles, and more than 10 miles is actually considered to be deep into the hinterland, and I have to say that the courage is too great.

Shen Xi was about to reprimand, and suddenly remembered that the purpose of this battle was to train troops, since there were soldiers and horses going deep, then they should be scouts, just for field training, looking for food in the field, sleeping in the wilderness without bringing the camp tent, training the anti-reconnaissance ability in the dark night, and seeing how many people can survive tomorrow.

After it was completely dark, hundreds of households withdrew one after another, and Shen Xi sent people to summarize and learned that today's battle seemed to be very thunderous, but the last raindrops were pitifully small.

At the end of the day, twenty-nine enemies were killed, forty-two were captured, and the goods were basically not seized, which is why there were hundreds of households that continued to go deeper, because they were not willing to return empty-handed.

Twenty-eight hundred-household battalions went out, twenty-five returned, and three hundred-household battalions went deep into the hinterland and did not return, so I don't know what the situation is for the time being.

The 25 battalions of 100 households that returned did not have any deaths, but wounded six people, one of whom was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the other five were injured by falling into a trap and falling down a cliff stream, to put it bluntly, they were not familiar with the terrain of the island, and as for the 29 killed and captured 42 people on the battlefield, only 13 machetes were captured, and there were no decent weapons at all.

Whether it is the process or the result, Shen Xi is very dissatisfied, it was originally for the purpose of training, but the soldiers were not trained, and the whole situation was a mess.

After the officers and men arrived on the island, they circled around like headless flies, asked him what he had discovered, spread their hands with dark eyes, and showed their attitude with silence.

Even if there are people who can speak well, when asked, they just say things like "the road is not easy to walk", which makes Shen Xi really want to teach this group of straw bags a good lesson by punching and kicking.

However, Shen Xi didn't mess around, he first reflected on himself.

No matter how good the plan is, it also needs an appropriate way to guide the officers and men to learn and apply it in actual combat, and they cannot blindly criticize them, and it is not easy for them to come back without dying, at least it is much better than the result of "the total annihilation of the whole army" that he expected. The first day of the bandits' counterattack on the island was not fierce, as for the location and general layout of the bandit village near the northwest shore of the island, the location and general layout have been investigated, and the intelligence collection can be regarded as the result of the day.

After Shen Xi ordered to strictly prevent the thief army from sneaking in the middle of the night, formulated a night patrol plan and arranged a special person to be in charge, he returned to the Chinese army's tent and was ready to sleep well, so as to have enough energy to deal with tomorrow's battle.

……

……

Just when Shen Xi was trying his best to eliminate the coastal bandits for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao in the Forbidden City of the capital was like a caged bird, living a sullen life every day, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly out of the palace.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to go to Shen Xi so urgently, he just wanted to go to the outside world to see, at least he didn't have to go to class every day, and every time he saw his father and mother, he was scolded by several times.

After the disappearance, the bear child had a lot of complaints about his father and mother, and he couldn't vent it in his heart.

"Father-in-law Zhang, say, are you telling the queen mother the news that the palace is going to leave the palace?" On this day, when he found time and the injury on Zhang Yuan's buttocks was healed, Zhu Houzhao lost his temper at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's frightened body trembled, he was beaten by the prince before, and then the prince disappeared and was beaten by the emperor and the queen, he finally understood what it means to be a companion to the king and a tiger!

Zhang Yuan has been silent these days, for fear of offending the bear child who is sulking, who would have thought that Zhu Houzhao would be angry with him again.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly pleaded: "Prince Mingjian, the slave doesn't know that you are leaving the palace, how can you communicate with the queen?" Your Highness, don't wronged a good person. ”

"Are you a good person? Hmph, this palace thinks you are a complete villain, or a big villain with brains, what this palace can't do can escape your eyes, if you don't report to the queen mother, how would the queen mother know? ”

Zhu Houzhao secretly observed Zhang Yuan for several days and tried to find evidence, but he found nothing, so he couldn't hold back and confronted Zhang Yuan face to face, who knew that Zhang Yuan would not admit it at all.

The bear child thought that he had analyzed it well, but he didn't want to really wronged Father-in-law Zhang, and Zhang Yuan didn't know that the prince was going to leave the palace.

It was actually a little person who Zhu Houzhao had never suspected, and it was the little eunuch who he had used many times and thought that he was firmly in the palm of his hand.

Zhu Houzhao was about to go out of the palace to the south to find Shen Xi, but no one else told him, but he told Xiao Xuanzi, who was afraid that his head would move, so he took advantage of the time when the East Palace sent someone to deliver snacks, and told the palace maid about it, and told Zhu Houzhao where he hid the silver and clothes out of the palace.

After the palace maid went back to the court, Empress Zhang was shocked and hurried to the East Palace to expose Zhu Houzhao's plan, and after Zhu Houzhao was scolded, she chose to hide it to worry Zhu Youzhi and his wife.

In the end, he was finally found, and he was guarded and lived, and he was not even allowed to go out of the Fang Hall every day, nor was he allowed to go to the Wenhua Hall to attend classes, so he only walked back and forth in the back room, the front hall and the dormitory.

As long as the bear child takes a step out of the Chufang Palace, a group of eunuchs will come over to surround him, no matter how much he scares, it is useless, because the queen has spoken, whoever lets the prince out of the Chufang Palace, all the attendants in the East Palace will fall to the ground!
