Chapter 53: Military Orders
The first level of the battle of Xinjiang Town was messed up.
Whether it is Bai Yuanjie, the deputy Qianhu of Qingcheng, or Deng Zilong, the general of Guangdong, there are no officials in their subordinate sequences who specialize in remembering merits, and in the end they can only stare at the corpses cleaned up by the captives on both sides.
It is easy to calculate the merits of the bird's gunner, more than 200 or nearly 300 of the enemy's troops died in the blow, and there are still 233 corpses left after removing the wounds of swords, spears and arrows, of which there are more than 60 corpses in the battle of Beishan alone. Deng Zilong's side was full of forty guns, and he divided one hundred and twenty people into the first-level skills, although Bai Yuanjie divided one hundred and thirteen, but he only had more than twenty bird-level guns under his hands, and when they were shared, Shiqi Bird's Gun Banner alone took eight first-level giants.
The first level of the other soldiers is roughly the same way, but none of them have such a high score as the bird gun. In any case, it is foreseeable that they will gain a lot after this battle, and the position of Zhengqianhu that Bai Yuanjie has in mind seems to be a certainty.
Of course, Wu Duan, who was the main attacker in this matter, was very angry, he dispatched the most troops and carried the most enemies, but he did not capture more than Deng Zilong and Bai Yuanjie. This is simply a naked robbery of the two prison guards!
"That's right!"
Deng Zilong, who was in the military tent, suddenly patted his head and reacted, looked at Bai Yuanjie and said, "You and I are the second department to supervise the war!" ”
As soon as the two of them combined, another person allocated 200 from the merits of his subordinates and threw them on Wu Duan's head, anyway, as a supervisor of the war, Wu Duan's credit also has their share, but the merits of the military households and battalion soldiers below are slightly less. The three giants of Xinjiang Town reached a consensus on this, and together they wrote a book and a war report, and sent messenger riders to report directly to Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Weng Yuan's main battlefield.
Many people think that this war is over for them, but in fact, it has just begun.
The cavalry who went to Weng Yuan to report the results of the battle had just hit the road, and the cavalry from Yu Dayou in the south had already arrived in Xinjiang Town, and ordered: "The general army has an order, ordering Bai Yuanjie, the deputy Qianhu of Qingcheng, Deng Zilong, the general of Guangdong, and Wu Duan, the leader of the annex, and the three of you will lead the troops of the headquarters to Xinjiang Town, and defend themselves according to the Xinjiang Bridge, and must not let Li Yayuan lead the army to cross Xinjiang in the south!" ”
Yu Dayou was frustrated in Weng Yuan Ping Ye Dan Tower, Ye Dan Lou who originally surrendered was actually a fraudulent surrender, and attacked Yu Dayou's troops at night, and retreated to the mountains to occupy the mountains to defend themselves, and the main force was trapped in Weng Yuan for a few days and could not go north to Heyuan, so there was such an order.
But this is not good news for the army of Xinjiang Town, including Chen Mu.
This means that they have to defend Li Yayuan, who is likely to lead troops south, in this small town south of the Xinjiang River, with a wide and long river and a small Xinjiang bridge.
That is Li Yayuan, Li Yayuan, who has been in trouble in Heyuan for several years. He has an army of 100,000 in his hands. And they only have more than 2,000 soldiers, including the Wuduan Army's Japanese Salt Disciples.
"The general of the general army is down, what do you think?"
When the highest official position in the military tent was the deputy Qianhu and the general, Chen Mu, the general banner, was also qualified to participate in the military discussion, but when Bai Yuanjie asked him, Chen Mu asked with a distressed face: "Qianhu, I heard that Li Yayuan is known as 100,000 people, how many soldiers does he have?" There are really 100,000, and we can't hold Xinjiangzhen. ”
This is already Chen Mu's best to say what he thinks in decent words, the rebels of the rebellious army are indeed unbearable, let Chen Mu lead the general flag to fight a hundred or even two hundred, he has a way, and he will not feel afraid. But with their 2,000 troops to defend the Xinjiang Bridge, there may be tens of thousands of chaotic troops rushing over?
Don't say 100,000, even 10,000, they may not be able to keep it.
Chen Mu couldn't raise a little battle intent in his heart.
"Heh, Chen Zongqi doesn't have to worry, it is difficult to garrison Xinjiang Bridge, but he also guards all of Li Yayuan's troops from time to time." Bai Yuanjie didn't speak yet, but Deng Zilong on the side said with relief: "It's true that Li Thief has 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, but he wants to go south to Wengyuan, and the troops through the Xinjiang Bridge are only more than 10,000, even if he sends all his troops here, can he spread his soldiers and horses in the river valley?" ”
Although he is still only a general banner, as long as he can survive this war, lead 50 people to kill more than 200 enemy soldiers, set off artillery to shock the enemy, lead the crowd to attack Beishan, and go down to Xinjiang Town.
At that time, they will all be battalion soldiers, who knows whether they will fight side by side.
Nowadays, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is full of gangs and factions, and although military attaches cannot be called cliques and private interests, they are not exempt from vulgarity.
Bai Yuanjie said that only at this time can he feel that Chen Mu is still the same Chen Mu in the past, shook his head and smiled, and then pointed to the map and said: "Cen Shui and Xinjiang are the only way for Li Yayuan to go south, and the guard of Shaozhou Mansion will block the road in the northeast, and if he wants to borrow Weng Yuan, he needs to divide his troops to guard, even if there are enemies coming, there will not be too many, otherwise General Yu will not hand over the heavy task to us." However, Brother Wuqiao, we do need to ask the general army for help. ”
"Well, we only have two artillery pieces, and the soldiers of the leader of the army have also lost a lot."
Deng Zilong also thought that their current garrison strength was insufficient, and said: "Six guns, at least six more cannons, if Li Yayuan comes, he will cross the river from the northeast and bombard his boat on the river!" Two more battalions of troops need to be transferred to make it safe. ”
"We can't let all the veterans of the war die in Xinjiangqiao!"
As an officer, no one wanted to follow his subordinates to die in a battle, especially after Deng Zilong saw Wu Duan's miserable appearance. In the battle of Xinjiangzhen, the biggest loser was Wu Duan, who originally had more than 3,000 Japanese robbers, miners, and salt disciples to form a vicious army, and no one could bear this pain.
Merit?
There is no merit for Wu Duan, he is just the leader of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't even have a serious garrison official position, and the credit is useless for him except for more chips when he sells Yu Dayou miserably after the battle, and he can't become an official position and real money like Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong.
Xinjiang Town should be quiet at night, but this land is brightly lit because the soldiers and civilians are busy building fortifications and digging trenches on the shore in the upcoming war, Chen Mu, who is on duty at night in the training camp, took the opportunity of no one to ask Bai Yuanjie before exiting the military tent: "Wu Duan has died a lot of subordinates, General Yu asked him to guard the Xinjiang Bridge with us, will there be an accident?" ”
"Something? There may have been an accident before there were no deaths, but now that he has only 2,000 people, it is impossible to reverse. Bai Yuanjie waved his hand, smiled incomprehensibly, and said, "Why do you think General Yu waited for the battle to end before ordering the three troops and horses to join forces to defend Xinjiang?" Do you remember the head proposed by the thieves after the day camp was broken, and now it is the general trend to be attached, Wu Duan dares to rebel, before he kills you and me, the head will be sent to the table by his subordinates first! ”
When he walked out of the military tent, Chen Mu suddenly thought of what Bai Yuanjie said to him in the past, 'Good people can't be officials, and bad people can't be officials'. It's just thousands of lives, and the price of peace of mind is too great.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if the cold in the night was heavier, he wrapped his armor tightly and led a team of sergeants into the deeper night.
