Chapter 621: Red Face
Not far from September, Mantao is at its most beautiful, with vast broad-leaved forests and coniferous forests, and vast grasslands, like a colorful oil painting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Central Plains is a pot of porridge, and the army is also conquering the Mongols in Guihua City, the Manchurian Tartars, and more than 20,000 troops in Hongyazi Mountain, there is still a peaceful atmosphere near the new Yongning City.
Go to the northeast of the new Yongning City, at this time with the winding mountain road, through the Luan River, the Yima Rabbit River and other places, on the edge of the Yixun River, the enclosure boundary of the later generations, there is a cutting-edge fortress, only more than 200 miles away from the Red Yazi Mountain, after the establishment of the village, Zhong Susu took the name of Zhenhu Village.
"Stepping on ......"
The sound of heavy horses' hooves.
On the mountain road leading to Zhenhuzhai in Xinyongning, a line of cavalry is running, they are holding flags, the armor has the symbol of the White Tiger Army, all of them are on the horse, the waist is straight, the expression is cold, with a battlefield battlefield, tough and heroic temperament, self-confidence and high-spirited, extremely attractive.
The Jingbian Army is already a professional army, and the army pays attention to the demeanor of soldiers, regardless of the generals, all of them appear to be heroic and vigorous, and they seem to have an iron will, which is very different from the ordinary Ming army.
The autumn breeze is cool, the red maple forests on both sides of the mountain road are rustling, and the fallen leaves are sprinkled on the body, which is quite a lonely and distant taste.
A few days ago, she went back to New Yongning City to do some things, but she was worried about the frontline, and after the matter was done, she immediately rushed back to Zhenhu Village.
At this time she was on her horse and put on her cloak. Under the iron-tipped helmet, there is a pair of shining eyes, looking forward to its own majesty, as a figure who commands an army, unconsciously, already has a temperament, a temperament that exudes from the inside out.
In fact, in Xuanfu Town, there are some ignorant girls or young women who have inexplicable longings for Zhong Susu.
But she seems to have something on her mind. The brow frowned slightly. There was no sound, I don't know what to think.
The war horse is like a horse, stepping like flying, and the group is just galloping on horseback. Sometimes through the woods. Sometimes they run out of the mountains and forests. Asakusa has no horseshoe.
The area of the Luan River and the Yimatu River is a place where the Mongols are stationed and grazed, but there are also tunbao. Stuck on the main traffic road, you can see that many Mongolians graze on various pastures, some water sources, dotted yurts, and some Mongolians have even begun to build houses and settle down.
However, looking at their residences, there is always a feeling of poverty and chaos, in terms of construction, the Saiwaihu people are shortcomings, and the city of Tokyo was a prosperous place in the world, but after the Jurchens occupied, it was like a pigpen in a few years, without the charm of one percent of the year.
This is also the reason why many herders yearn to live in places such as New Yongning City, but now their lives are much better than before, and many people are happy.
At this time, the news of the many victories of the Korean and Korean armies in the west came, and the people of all tribes were happy, and the national concept on the grassland was indifferent, and they did not mean to tear apart the same clan, but only glad that they followed the right people, and their tribes chose correctly.
At the same time, the White Tiger Army established Zhenhu Village by the Yixun River, and the Qing cavalry of Hongyazi Mountain was not allowed to go south, which protected the safety of the tribes in Luanhe and other places, made them grateful in their hearts, and also proved that the Jingbian Army was indeed capable of protecting them, so that the new attached camp on the Western Front Mengqi could fight with peace of mind.
Seeing Zhong Susu and others running, a group of elite cavalry, with a tall white tiger and silver carved banner in the middle, many herdsmen knelt down and kowtowed respectfully from afar.
Zhong Susu's expression moved, and he had heard the general say that he was a barbarian outside the country, and he was afraid of power but not virtue, but at this time they were really afraid of it, and he saw the prestige of the Han officials again, which was the reason for the strong army.
When I remembered my troubles again, "wife" Li Yunluo said to herself that her identity, the general was afraid that she would already know, but she was just pretending to be confused, her own thoughts, and her sister She also understood, but she said, how should my sister be positioned?
She once asked: "Will the embroidery girl be a red sister?" ”
I replied: "I forgot for a long time, it's okay to dance with a knife and a gun." ”
She asked, "Will my sister of qinqi, calligraphy and painting know?" ”
I replied: "No, it's not good, the military book can talk about a thing or two." ”
She said: "Even so, such a woman, will Hou Ye be rare?" Needless to say, there is a beautiful woman in his house, so with his current status and prestige, what beauty do you want? Collect the house, but enjoy one or two, how to make him look at it differently and remember it in his heart? ”
At that time, I was distressed, yes, with the current identity of the general, I only need to beckon, and all kinds of beauties can line up from Yongning City to Xuanfu Town, and I don't want to.
Seeing that she was distressed, Li Yunluo said: "In fact, there is a kind of woman who is fatal to men, and my sister happens to have this advantage, so she doesn't have to go far." ”
Ask yourself, "What is it?" ”
Under the light, Li Yunluo's eyes were gentle, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "That's the impassioned war face." ”
She said: "If you don't attach yourself to a man, you have your own true temperament, if you go to war like a man, and establish your own merits in the sea of corpses and blood, you seem to belong to him, but you don't belong to him, and you have your own independent dignity and soul." In military affairs, if the two have to be left and right, they have differences, and they also fight according to reason, show their own value, let him rely on you, can't do without you, when he is quiet, you are his confidant, listen to his words, listen to the troubles he can't say to his wife, and rely on each other. ”
She motioned to look in the mirror, showing her flushed face, and continued: "From then on, you have a fat-free powder, dashing, generous, in this troubled world, you lead a heavy army, prestige, to follow the man in your heart and calm the world, when the world sings, the handsome know each other, and cherish each other, that is the strange woman praised in the history books, even if your heart is hot, give birth to a child like Xu Niangzi, how can you not be happy?" ”
Yes, when Zhong Susu felt that she had enlightened, it was very important to have a good wife in the family, she said with emotion that if one day, good things will come to pass, she will not forget Sister Yunluo, and she will definitely share her share.
Li Yunluo listened, first stunned, and then her jade face turned red, under the light, her eyes were like water, and her expression was attractive. There is no way, there is always a commotion in my heart, especially when Li Yunluo is talking about it.
At this time, he was on the horse, and seeing the respectful and reverent expressions of those Hu people, Zhong Susu was shocked, and he had a feeling of pulling out the clouds and seeing the sunny sky.
I once heard the general say that in this life, I am most happy to see the Han army mighty and majestic all over the world, so I let myself be like Sister Yunluo said, and fight the world with the man in my heart. Let him be concerned. Impassioned war blush.
After making the decision, Zhong Susu felt that he seemed to be different, grown, and had his own goals and ways forward. Maybe. Shy. It's just her appearance, and in her heart, she also has her own fiery and passion.
With this in mind. Zhong Susu felt that many troubles had disappeared, and the rest was not a problem for himself now.
She rode her horse like the wind, over the years, Zhong Susu's riding skills have been quite sophisticated, a group of people walking in the mountains, grasslands and rivers, hooves like drums as dense, when they arrived at the edge of the Yisun River, they saw that there was a walled city on the edge of the river.
In the nearby mountains and plains, there are also many camps, on which countless white tiger flags hunt sounds, and the spirit of Jin Ge Iron Horse is overwhelming, with a sense of slaughter.
The White Tiger is the main killer and is famous for its fierceness, and the entire White Tiger Army is also full of suffocating sharpness.
Zhong Susu is proud in her heart, this is the army she commands.
This town Hu village, in fact, is composed of two villages, one village on both sides of the river, a pontoon bridge across both sides, the two villages are connected as a whole, just like Xiangyang City and Fancheng pattern.
After the village was completed, Zhong Susu led the army to garrison it to guard against the Dongnu cavalry of Hongyazi Mountain, thousands of troops, which needed a lot of grain and grass, and all kinds of materials in the rear were transported endlessly every day, many of which were provided by the full set of various tunbao.
At this time, the sound of the drills of the battalions was earth-shattering, and the trumpets and drums shook the sky, that is, Zhong Susu was not there, and the army was also drilling, and the Jingbian Army had developed to the present, and the various systems were mature, and all officers and generals performed their duties, and the main general was not there for a while, but it could also operate normally, and Zhong Susu, the general of the White Tiger Army, actually had a very easy life.
A sturdy knight rushed towards Zhong Susu from the direction of the camp, and on his helmet, there was a small blue and white flag with a command written on it, but it was a herald of the military department.
Before the Jingbian Army set up the Fifth Army, in addition to protecting the barracks headquarters, each guard had to also be a flag drummer escort and a herald.
And because the main function is to run fast, they only wear cyan waist-length armor, and there are no inlaid nail leaves inside, which is light and flexible.
It's almost the ninth month of the lunar calendar, this place in Zhenhuzhai, not to mention that the night is quite cold, it is the day, it is quite cold, and after a while, it may snow, so they wear the same protective winter clothes.
According to the characteristics of the White Tiger Army, not to mention the trim, it is the fur on the collar, which is dyed white.
When the herald approached, a guard brought him to Zhong Susu, who immediately bowed his hand and reported loudly: "Returning to Captain Zhong, according to the general's order, the generals of each battalion have been passed to discuss the matter in the White Tiger Hall." ”
The herald had a fine bronze coat of arms on his chest, but he was a sergeant, with the rank of honor, and according to the new military law, no matter what kind of officer he faced, he could only bow and not kneel.
Moreover, in order to improve the dignity of the soldiers, after the establishment of the Fifth Army, Wang Dou stipulated that the titles of minor, subordinate, and lowly rank in the army should be abandoned, and the right commander would be ranked, and those who held guerrilla military positions would be called the last general, and the rest would be competent when they met with the officials.
People of the same rank, in public, also need to call each other military ranks or ranks, and the same is true for superiors to call subordinates.
Zhong Susu returned a salute, looked at him and said, "Well, Ben will know, you have worked hard, go down." ”
"Yes!"
The herald saluted again, and secretly glanced at Zhong Susu, feeling that the captain seemed to be different today, he didn't think much about it, clamped the horse's belly, and went back to the camp.
Soon, Zhong Susu ran back to the camp, her camp is located in the South Mountain, condescending, with a wide field of vision, there is a bell tree growing on the side of the mountain nest, and there is a gurgling mountain spring, three steps and one sentry around the camp, five steps and one post, and the sentry is strict.
Her White Tiger Hall, also wide, majestic, in front of the main seat, a large desk, with arrows, seals, sand pens and other things, symbolizing the majesty and power of the main general, on both sides is a seat, one wall, hanging a huge map, on the back of the table wall, there is a huge white tiger flag.
At this time, the seats on both sides were already full of officers wearing helmets and cloaks, generals of the middle army, generals of the left battalion, generals of the right battalion, as well as the pacification officers, comfort officers, and praise officers of the barracks department, and thousands of officers of each battalion. All in one place.
They sat proudly, each with their own heraldic rank on their chests, motionless in their seats, exuding a heavy aura.
"I've seen the captain!"
When Zhong Susu entered the lobby, all the generals roared up, bowed down and shouted together, the iron armor was loud, and the sound was like thunder.
Zhong Susu sat down in his seat and said in a deep voice: "All the generals are exempt!" ”
The generals shouted: "Thank you, Captain! ”
Suddenly sat down, and there was another nail leaf.
Zhong Susu sat comfortably. Her hands. Placed on the armrests on both sides of the chair, although she has fought for many years, her hands are still white and long. It seems to have mastered great power. That is the power and prestige of the invincible army. The strength that comes with being confident and high-spirited.
The hearts of the generals moved, and in the past, when the captain faced everyone, there was always a feeling of haste and uneasiness. It seems to be a little different now, although he speaks as gently and gently, he is more powerful than before, and he has a bearing, as if he has his own way, and it also adds a lot of charm.
Zhong Susu glanced at everyone, the main general of the third battalion of the White Tiger Army, the general of the rear battalion Tian Zhijue stayed on the east road, the general of the Chinese army Yin Yijin, the general of the left battalion Yang Guodong, and the general of the right battalion Gao Gui were present.
As his name suggests, the noble person is rich, with outstanding temperament, and his beard is exquisitely trimmed, and he looks like a child of a nobleman, born in a big family.
In fact, in the past, he was just a street seller of tofu, but don't underestimate him, and don't be deceived by his upright appearance.
Yang Guodong, as Lu Xiangsheng's subordinate, defected to Wang Douhou, and over the years, he also became a qualified and mature officer of the Jingbian Army, and at this time he led the feather cavalry of the left battalion of the White Tiger Army.
Yin Yijin, as a veteran of a hundred battles, was promoted to his current status, which can be described as one step at a time, as a Chinese officer, his status is outstanding, and he assists the chief general in arranging military affairs on weekdays, if Zhong Susu is not there, he can also give orders to the whole army.
In the back row of the battalion generals and the officers of the military headquarters, the commanders of each battalion and the officers of the battalion headquarters sat solemnly behind their commanders.
"The intelligence came, the Red Cliff Mountain Slave Rider was about to move, it seems that after Captain Han captured Naturalization City, they couldn't help it."
Zhong Susu spoke slowly, and she looked at Yang Guodong: "Captain Yang Youdu, how is the feather cavalry drilling?" ”
Yang Guodong got up and arched his hand: "The last general believes that the feather cavalry of my White Tiger Army will not lose to the feather cavalry of the Xuanwu Army...... The former Han army can be Hu Bing Wu, and our division can do the same. ”
His eyes flashed with a cold light, the battle of the giant deer that year, the Governor Battalion suffered heavy losses, and Lu Duchen was martyred, thinking day and night, that is, to kill more Tartars, to avenge the robes in the army, and to think about the total of 1,000 at this time, at this time with the world's famous and strong army feather cavalry, the strange life encounter, not more than this.
Zhong Susu was very happy, patted on the case, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Although she admired Han Chao, when the news of the victory of the Xuanwu Army's feather cavalry came, Zhong Susu sighed privately: "Brother Han is too powerful." ”
At the same time, I am happy, in the Jingbian Army, the cavalry was a short board in the past, but now the feather cavalry has a killer feature, and the entire Jingbian Army, if there are 20,000 strong cavalry, and they have improved their system in an all-round way, how can people in this group not be excited?
On that day, Han and the DPRK wrote a war report, without reservation, and sent the successful combat experience, lessons and lessons of the feather cavalry to Wang Dou in the rear.
Wang Dou paid great attention to it, and immediately sent the battle report to the whole army, the commanders of each army, and the cavalry of each battalion, all of which had to be refined, and the same was true for the White Tiger Army.
The advantage of the Jingbian Army is that it is good at studying and summing up, and because of the systematic training of troops, the successful experience is easy to disseminate, so no matter what kind of enemy it encounters, what style and tactics it is, it will soon have a way to deal with it.
Of course, Zhong Susu also has a competitive heart, how can she sit down if her friendly forces are successful? She, the feathered cavalry of the White Tiger Army, wanted to achieve such success.
In the past, there was training, and after concentrating on the wall-riding tactics for a period of time, the White Tiger Army's feathered cavalry was full of confidence.
At this time, Yang Guodong said this again, Zhong Susu was happy, and the generals were equally happy, the Xuanwu Army's feather cavalry played a majestic style, and his own White Tiger Army also wanted to be majestic.
After Yang Guodong finished his salute, he did not sit down, but only shouted to Zhong Susu for battle, hoping to take the initiative to attack the Qing cavalry of Hongyazi Mountain, the army is here, how can he let the Tartars threaten his home? Just as they were about to move, they struck a good blow.
Zhong Susu swallowed the words to his lips again, remembering that the general had said that as the main general, you must listen to the opinions of your subordinates more, and if you listen more, you will understand. What you have to do is to hold the decision-making power, how to decide, and when to decide.
The 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops stationed in Hongyazi Mountain, such as Jierharang and Dudu, have stayed there for many days, and except for a small group of cavalry, most of them just do not move, do not attack Mantao, and do not go to Guihua City to rescue. I don't know what to think.
Of course. They also had thousands of horsemen, attacking several forts, but they were all blocked by Tunding, no more than elsewhere. I want to capture a tun fort of the Jingbian army. It's not easy. He was even more afraid of the rescue of the White Tiger Army, so he couldn't attack it and immediately retreated. After that, he didn't dare to move lightly, let alone take a detour.
Speaking of which, around Tunpu, it is not that there is no way out, but the attacking Qing cavalry is afraid, this rear castle has not been lowered, and he is deep, what should I do if the back road is suddenly cut off, and what should I do if I get the baggage? That's why the castle is all about.
In terms of solidity, in fact, the fort under Wang Dou is far inferior to the military forts built on all sides of the Ming Dynasty, but there is an advantage that they do not have, that is, they have a strong field force, do not dare to fight in the field, there are no reinforcements, no matter how strong the fortress is, it is also a lonely place to die, and finally fall.
Liaodong Town, Jizhen Town, and many border towns in the Ming Dynasty, were attacked and plundered by the Qing cavalry many times, that is the case, the soldiers came to the city, and the defenders could only fight separately, and were broken by the enemy one by one, so the fortress tactics were premised.
In the face of a full set of multiple tunbao, rich land, Qing cavalry can only look at it, I don't know what taste in my heart, the Mongols in Guihua City fought to death, and they did not go to the rescue for a long time, obviously worried that after the army went from the original Kaiping Weixi, it was stopped by the main force of the Jingbian Army in Xinghesuo, Shacheng and other places.
Because the most convenient way to go to naturalization is this road, avoid the Jingbian Army, and detour to Mobei? Then the logistical test will be great.
20,000 steps to ride, people eat horses and chew, it is not a simple matter, the Qing country sent troops, the same must consider logistics, especially the war where there is no oil and water to fish.
Therefore, on the eastern front, it was generally calm, only some sentry cavalry battles on both sides, small fights, and seeing that the enemy was not far away, the White Tiger Army was itchy and hard to scratch, and they couldn't wait to fight happily.
"Jierharang and other thieves and slaves are all old treacherous and cunning people, so the last general thinks that it is better to wait and watch silently, the slaves do not move, I do not move, this battle on the Eastern Front, the competition is patience, they are on the expedition, tired of the expedition, we are the home field, on attrition, they can't consume us."
Yin Yi has rich experience in entering the battlefield and is also cautious and steady, he thinks that it is better to wait and see what it will become, and see what Tartar thinks.
His opinion was noblely agreed, and he thought that the Tartars were acting strangely, and that they had to see their intentions clearly.
However, most of the officers and generals of the battalions sitting in the second row were inclined to Yang Guodong's opinion, believing that they could take the initiative to attack and clear the threat to the westward expeditionary army.
They also have the opportunity to speak, and as grassroots officers, they also have insightful opinions.
Zhong Susu's fingers tapped on the armrest, listening to the speeches of the generals, emotionally, she really wanted to lead the army and the Tartar cavalry to fight hard, and really start fighting, although the White Tiger Army only had two battalions at this time, she was not afraid, but intellectually, told her that she should be cautious.
After the military discussion, she has the right to act cheaply in this part of the Eastern Front, but she must use this power carefully, guard the foundation capital in her hands for the general, and think carefully about every step.
Moreover, at that time, during the military discussion, the generals believed that the intention of the slaves such as Zilharang should be to move with me, so they should do the opposite and carefully observe the enemy's flaws.
When the information came, the Red Cliff Mountain Slave Rider was about to move, they couldn't help it, and they shouldn't act rashly.
Thinking of this, Zhong Susu raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer, wait for the Tartars to move, see their movements clearly, if they go west to rescue Guihua City......"
She slapped her palm on the desk, made a loud bang, and said viciously: "Find the right opportunity, give them a blow from behind the buttocks!" ”
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, although the prestige of Captain Zhong was growing, but he always gave people a feeling of shame, at this time, he was rude, and the generals felt cordial, and seemed to be much closer to each other.
Yin Yijin laughed loudly: "Okay, let's give them a look from behind the buttocks, if that's the case, the tartar will be in pain." ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhong Susu's face was also slightly red, was his previous words a little vulgar, he was not like this in the past.
But then I thought about it, as Sister Yunluo said, I want to be a strange woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, in front of all the brothers, what's the point of saying a foul word?
She laughed out loud, the hall was filled with pride, and the sun shone in and sprinkled on Zhong Susu's body, hazy, making her seem to be covered with a layer of light. (To be continued.) )
