Chapter 269: Kill (1)
At the moment of the great enemy, of course Su Tiancheng would not act rashly.
He would not take the lives of the Jiang Ningying brothers as child's play because of a moment of anger, and made this decision, he still thought about it carefully.
In the big picture, the biggest opponent that the Jiangning battalion can see in advance is definitely the cavalry of the Eight Banners, which cannot be avoided, no matter what time it is, the two sides will have a vicious battle of life and death, in such a situation, to Baoding Mansion, just to see the cavalry of the Eight Banners, to compete, to find out the details of the deal, the best, of course, there must be casualties in the fight, which is unavoidable, and must be accepted.
From a small aspect, the arrogance of the Eight Banners is too arrogant, and they must clean it up and give a merciless blow, so that they can know that Daming still has an army, which is their nemesis.
This time against the cavalry full of eight banners, Su Tiancheng had full certainty.
This is a surprise attack.
The cavalry of the Eight Banners, after entering the customs, is rampant, thinking that in the middle of the battle in the field, they have no opponents, the actual situation is also like this, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will only shrink in the fire road pier, or stay in the city or the state city and the guard, will not come forward to meet them, in such a situation, these cavalry, will not have this kind of vigilance psychology, if it is a small group of cavalry, such as about ten people, or even a few people, afraid of being alone, may encounter accidents, may be vigilant, But the cavalry of more than eighty people, already close to a cavalry squadron, must have no scruples.
The fact that they didn't send scouts to investigate the situation is the best proof of this.
Of course, there was also a situation where these cavalrymen, leaving the brigade. Directly to the territory of Dingxing County to loot, after robbing some property, to meet with the brigade, after all, the Houjin cavalry, after entering the customs, the most important task. It is to rob money and women.
Under such circumstances, one hundred scouts of the Jiangning battalion were prepared to deal with more than eighty cavalry full of eight banners, so as to be prepared to deal with the unprepared, at least without worrying about defeat.
Besides, many of the brothers in the scout camp were Xiong Tingbi's own soldiers back then, and they had seen Houjin's cavalry, and they didn't know each other at all.
Tactical arrangement is very important, and Liu Tiehan is willing to fight hard. is not afraid of death, but unfortunately in terms of tactical command, it is not very prominent, so the tactical arrangement can only be considered by Su Tiancheng.
Of course, Sun Chengzong has a lot of experience, but. After all, he didn't know the actual situation of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and. In the past battles, most of them were defensive battles in the city, and there were few encounters in the field, and he was committed to building the Jiangning battalion in order to fight a large-scale group army and compete with the opponent head-on.
Liu Tiehan looked at Su Tiancheng. In this battle, he definitely has to fight well, and when he heard what the scout said, Liu Tiehan's eyes turned red, when he was a bandit. None of them are as cruel as the Houjin cavalry.
"Liu Tiehan, divide the brothers into two groups, the first group of twenty people, facing the Tartar forward team head-on, to fight hard, hurt them, the second group of sixty brothers, ambush behind, three miles away from the first group of brothers, to meet the first group of twenty brothers, waiting for the arrival of the Tartar brigade."
"The remaining twenty people, protect Lord Sun and Lord Lu, especially Lord Sun's family, and absolutely ensure their safety."
"The Tartars are good at riding and archery, and tell the brothers to fight in close quarters and not give them a chance to draw arrows."
"I especially ask the brothers, don't live your mouth, don't kill them, whether the Tartars surrender or not, let everyone remember that what I want is to make dumplings, not to chase ducks."
"The Tartar riding skills are very good, but I believe that the brothers' ability to run is a hundred times stronger than that of the Tartars."
Time was pressing, and the 100 sergeants of the scout battalion were quickly concentrated, and the last group of scouts sent out also returned, and the situation did not change.
Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji looked at Su Tiancheng and did not speak for the time being.
It's not that they don't want to speak, but they are so shocked by Su Tiancheng's bold arrangement that they can't speak.
Could it be that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are really as brave and good at fighting as the legend.
Su Tiancheng jumped to the front of the team.
"Brothers, we have traveled thousands of miles to Beizhili, we are very lucky, we have seen the Tartars, some of our brothers, we have seen the madness of the Tartars, along the way, we have also seen, there are broken walls everywhere, there are displaced people everywhere, they have been ravaged by the Tartars, they have lost their homes, relatives, and lives, they are our brothers and sisters, can we turn a blind eye, can we be turtles with shrunken heads."
"Can't ......"
"Okay, then we will do a good job with the Tartars, everyone knows the way, there are more than 80 people in the Tartars, legend has it that they are invincible in the world, no one dares to face them in the wild, they enter the pass, loot everywhere, such as entering the land of no one, I think, that is their luck, did not meet the Lu to see our Jiangning camp."
In the middle of the ranks, the sergeant smiled proudly.
"Brothers, we can despise them, but we must not be too confident, we have exterminated more than 10,000 Liukou in Zijin Liang, more than 6,000 Liukou in Lao Huihui, and more than 2,000 Liukou in Fang Ming, this is the pride of our Jiangning Battalion, but these are all internal, today's battle, what we are facing is the Tartars, it is the Eight Banners, this is a crucial battle, as long as we annihilate this group of Tartars, we can proudly declare that our Jiangning Battalion is a truly invincible army."
"In the face of the Tartars, we don't want to show mercy to our subordinates, don't be polite, in the face of the Tartars, it's just four words, don't kill him, whether he has laid down his arms or not, whether he has surrendered or not, I don't want to live."
"I don't want the Tartar to slip out from under our noses, that's the shame of our Jiangning battalion, don't let them escape, he runs fast, we chase faster."
"You are the elite of the Jiangning battalion, and your every move represents the image of the Jiangning battalion, so let the Tartars tremble in front of us, so that they are afraid of us and us."
"Again, the sword is ruthless, we will have brothers who are injured and killed, and their unfulfilled wishes will be fulfilled by the living brothers."
"Okay, I'll just talk about this, the specific arrangement, listen to General Liu's arrangement."
After finishing speaking, Su Tiancheng turned his head and asked Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji to see if the two had anything to say.
Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing to say.
There were already sergeants, and they had laid out the paper, pen, ink, and inkstone.
All the sergeants dismounted, walked up to the sergeant who could write, and briefly recounted their last wishes.
Su Tiancheng was also surrounded by a lot of sergeants, and everyone naturally said that they had not fulfilled their wishes, and there was no feeling of discomfort, although Su Tiancheng was the supervisor of the Jiangning Battalion, and everyone thought that it was normal to do so.
Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji on the side were extremely surprised, this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Soon, the specific arrangement came out, and Liu Tiehan personally took nineteen soldiers to meet the first batch of Tartars.
Seeing that Liu Tiehan really arranged twenty soldiers to protect himself and his family, Sun Chengzong was unhappy and finally spoke.
"Master Su, such an arrangement, the old man disagrees, the old man's family was originally going to go into battle to kill the enemy, but their actions are a little inconvenient, for fear of causing trouble to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, so they will not be reluctant, there are more than 80 people in the Tartars, you arrange 20 sergeants to protect Shanji and the old man's family, this is the old man's shame, such an arrangement, it will definitely not work."
Lu Shanji was even more excited.
"Master Su, the old man doesn't agree either, the old man still has to go into battle to kill the enemy, what's the great ...... about the Tartars"
Su Tiancheng didn't dare to be careless, no matter what, the two adults and their families could not have any problems.
"Lord Sun, Lord Lu, this is already a wartime state, the juniors are not talented, as a commander, they must be responsible for the victory or defeat of the battle, the Jiangning battalion requires military orders like a mountain, at this moment, the two adults, you must obey the arrangements of the juniors."
"The old man knows that the old man is not causing chaos, the soldiers are going to go on the field to kill the enemy, what is the use of guarding the old man, the old man can guarantee that he will not add trouble to the soldiers, as for the old man's family, the old man is confident that they have the ability to resist the Tartars."
Before Lu Shanji could speak again, Su Tiancheng shook his head resolutely.
"No, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, the main purpose of coming to Baoding Mansion this time is to protect the safety of the two adults and their families, if there is a slight accident, it is the dereliction of duty of the Jiangning battalion, and it is also the shame of the Jiangning battalion."
Looking at Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji's increasingly red faces, Su Tiancheng didn't dare to insist too much.
"The juniors took a step back, leaving ten people to protect the safety of the two adults and their families, and the remaining ten people, led by Liu Tiehan, faced the first batch of Tartars."
Sun Chengzong nodded reluctantly.
He was actually worried that although the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were fierce, they had never touched the Tartars, and they didn't know how powerful the Tartars were.
He vaguely felt that on the battlefield in the future, the Ming army that exterminated the Eight Banners might really rely on the Jiangning battalion.
Therefore, what Su Tiancheng said has a deep meaning, comparing this to the first battle, the most important battle, and I am afraid that he also thinks of the future.
After Liu Tiehan made all the arrangements and deployments, he came to Su Tiancheng's side again, he was going to set off with twenty-nine brothers, although he was full of confidence, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and everything was possible.
Su Tiancheng patted Liu Tiehan on the shoulder hard.
"Liu Tiehan, be more careful, the sword is ruthless, pay attention to protect yourself, don't be too reckless, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, there are many battles in the future, I need you."
Liu Tiehan's body trembled.
"Take care, my lord, my subordinates will definitely return triumphantly." (To be continued.) )
