Chapter 502: Obedience as a Vocation Great Difficulty or Great Achievement
readx;
Wang Tong asked in a deep voice, Li Tao did not hesitate, and immediately replied:
"The emperor decreed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Imperial Horse Supervisor and Military Department Writing.
"Since it is His Majesty's will. This official goes to seek justice again, what do you want Your Majesty to think? ”
Hearing Wang Tong's rhetorical question. Li Tao was also anxious, took two steps closer and gritted his teeth and said:
"Big brother, there are only 4,000 people on our side, and when we go to the grassland to face the shoes and ten thousand riders, isn't this a mortal situation, big brother, you often say, it is our duty to fight to the death for the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty, but to send it to death like this, the eldest brother has to think about the thousands of brothers below!"
Wang Tong's face sank, stared at Li Tao and asked:
"I have received the will, how do you think about it?。
"After a delay for a while, the eldest brother gave a recital to His Majesty, and the tiger head also wrote a recital. Your Majesty may be deceived by others, let's make things clear, if the three ways go out, then they should come out together, and we must not let the Huwei camp go out as bait! ”
Li Tao's face turned red, Wang Tong looked at Li Tao, but sighed and said:
"In the martial arts hall, Sun Xin is the most calm, you are a disciple of Jiangmen, and you know the most about human feelings. You don't have to say these things tonight and you shouldn't say them. The letter from your family, I'm afraid it's for you to go first, anyway, I see the situation everywhere, and I can't do anything to you afterwards, but you still come over and make it clear to me, which shows that you think about all of us in your heart, for the sake of Huweiying. ”
Wang Tong's words went straight to Li Tao's heart, after all, Li Tao was still young, a little flustered, his eyes were a little red, he rubbed his hands, and said with a little choked up:
"Big brother, we are so loyal to do things, but we are so unfair, we can usually bear it, but this is going."
The words were a little speechless, Wang Tong had been sitting there, but at this time he slowly stood up and said in a solemn voice:
"Li Tao, I often tell you, what are we Ming?"
"The eldest brother said that we are the warriors of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers of His Majesty
"A soldier takes obedience as his duty!".
Wang Tong said this categorically, with a solemn face. Li Tao was stunned for a while, his face became more and more red, he stood upright, hit his chest with his right fist, and said in a solemn voice:
"In this case, Li Tao is willing to follow the adult from birth to death to serve the country
After speaking, he hugged his fist. Again:
"Big brother, the little brother will go back to the camp first. Ask the family member who sent the letter to go back and make some preparations in advance. ”
Before he could move, he was stopped by Wang Tong. Wang Tong had a smile on his face and said:
"Pear, do you think that we are alone and go deep into the enemy territory, and we have such a big advantage. It's going to be a big problem for us this time?。
Li Tao was a little puzzled why Wang Tong asked this, but his expression showed that it was indeed the case. Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"You think it's a great disaster, but I think it's a great achievement
Saying this, Li Tao was a little confused, and Wang Tong didn't say much, but just admonished:
"Go back and have a good rest, I will take you out well, and naturally I will take you back well, rest assured, don't spread what you said tonight."
Li Tao was worried and angry, but after leaving, his face was full of puzzlement, he didn't know why Wang Tong was so confident, not to mention the shock in his heart, "Soldiers take obedience as their duty!" This sentence, Li Tao felt deeply in his heart.
On the morning of the seventeenth day of the lunar month, there was a commotion in the Huwei camp, and the soldiers, under the leadership and supervision of the officers, began to pack up the camp tents and carry supplies onto the wagons.
There are 240 carts, full of grain and equipment, in addition, there are about 200 large and small vehicles in Huairou County and Miyun County loaded with various materials to follow.
Even the cattle traders of Shunyi and Miyun Guards rushed over, and without him, the Huwei battalion left a reputation for being generous in spending money and willing to pay cash in the process of marching and stationing along the way.
All the traders who were willing to sell the materials to the Huwei camp made a huge profit, and the reputation spread in this way, and everyone pondered that they had followed the army a little bit of wealth a year ago, and they all gathered here. Wang Tong's military tent was the latest to be dismantled, and the chief officials from all over the place gathered here, reporting the situation of their departments one by one, Wang Tong listened attentively, and after everyone finished reporting, he asked:
"Prison army, from Miyun County to Miyun Guard, there will be no traders or anything along the way. The supplies they carry can also be regarded as supplies for our march, and after we get out of the fortress, it will probably last for us
Cai Nan stood up calmly, he had been counting since last night, and he already had a certain number, and said:
"According to the plan of the adults, we will go out of the fortress for one day, and we will arrange for the cart to return to Miyun to load the materials of these traders, and the cart and the livestock of the horse team can solve a part of the forage on the grassland, and all the materials can support our army outside the fortress for six to seven days
Wang Tong nodded, groaned and said:
"Six to seven days, marching and fighting, you still have to put everything first, even if it is six days, General Tan. There are no new books on the Kyoshi side
General Zhen stood up and shook his head and replied, "No," Wang Tong sneered, shook his head and said:
"In addition to ordering the people to support the grain and grass along the way. I don't care about the rest. Looking at it now, the Miyun Guards will not provide us with any more food and straw to support the transfer, that is to say, our Huwei Battalion can only stay on the grassland for six days. ”
All the generals nodded, and Wang Tong continued:
"It's almost a three-day journey from Gubeikou to the Hara Loop, and the grain and grass supplies we carry are almost just enough for us to go to the Hala Loop and come back."
This is all well known, Wang Tong said, the following generals were not surprised, Wang Tong opened his mouth and asked the soldiers on the side:
"Soldier, if you are a shoe leader and know that our army is going, how will you deal with it?"
"If you go back to your lordship, if your subordinates are the leaders of the sect, they will attack when there is still one day left in our army's food and grass!"
"Oh? At that time, it should not be far from the Miyun guard, how to do it at this time, aren't you afraid of internal and external attacks? ”
Wang Tong also asked knowingly, as soon as he finished speaking, the people below shook their heads with a smile, and the soldiers also replied with a smile:
"If the Miyun guards have the courage to fight, how dare the shoe captives gather in the place of Hara Hetao, which is three days away from Biansai, and then go back to the adult's questioning, there is still one day left for grain and grass, and everyone in the army knows it. If the enemy cavalry attacks, as long as it can be troubled for a day, the grain and grass are exhausted, the people will definitely be panicked, and when the military spirit will fluctuate, as long as they have the strength to attack, how can the soldiers have the courage to fight. When the time comes, I feel that I can run back, and I have no intention of fighting, I am afraid that I will break up in a fight! ”
After Chen Bing finished speaking, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:
"If we travel all the way, they will definitely harass us along the way and slow down our march. On the last day, the cavalry had the advantage of being able to swim in a wide range of grasslands, and the timing of the battle could be chosen by them. Ladies and gentlemen, let your cronies talk loudly outside today, saying that the grain and grass can only last on the grassland for five days, and the guide will also go and talk about it. ”
After a little thought, everyone understood that they all got up and listened to orders.
Li Hutou and Li Tao went to their own camp after the discussion, Li Hutou was half a head shorter than Li Tao, but he was very stocky, Li Tao was already a man of the height of an adult, and he was also strong, but the two of them looked young, and the people looked at it. Although the armor on their bodies was different from that of ordinary soldiers, they could not imagine that these two young men were the chief and deputy commanders of 1,500 people.
"It is estimated that Ding Zhuang, the people who followed us, among the people who were temporarily recruited on the side of Shunyi, Huairou and Miyun, I don't know how many spies from Lejiao were among them. There are even more guides among them, and the adults want to release the news, I'm afraid they will spread to the grassland overnight! ”
Li Hutou said with a smile as he walked, Li Tao followed behind him, compared with Li Hutou's ease, Li Tao was worried about Zhong Zhong, and said:
"Tiger head. Our Huwei camp is the middle road, the closest to the Hara Hetao, I don't know if the other party will attack with all his strength, it is no less than 10,000 horses"
"What are you afraid of, we have a car camp, we have firearms, and Lezi will hit his head and bleed more or less!!"
Compared with Li Tao's worries, Li Hutou was full of confidence, and after hearing Li Hutou's words, Li Tao was stunned and shook his head, but he felt that his worries had gone a lot.
The military camp of the Miyun Guard is getting more and more Gubeikou is originally an ordinary canyon mouth, but I have heard a lot of this name in that life.
Wang Tong looked back, looked at the boundless grassland in front of him, and asked the guide who followed him:
"Isn't it snowing this year?"
The Miyun guards were going to send generals as guides as usual, but this time it was a general who came with him, and this general was driven out to the grassland near the end of the year. Naturally, he felt unlucky, but Wang Tong's grade was quite high, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he replied:
"It's early this year. The tide river was almost broken in the summer, but fortunately there were a few heavy rains in the autumn, but there was no heavy snow in this evening, the old man said, no more snow in the first month, and there will be a drought if it is not good! ”
Last year, Zhangjiakou Fort was out of the plug, and it was snow-white, but now it is all yellow, and it is all dry grass. The short ones were knee-length, and the tall ones were almost to the saddle, and the cold wind blew, and the withered grass on the grassland swayed, and it looked like yellow waves rolling, quite magnificent.
However, under the cold wind like a knife cut, people have no interest in appreciation, just hurrying away.
This side is different from the flat outside Zhangjiakou, there are many hills outside Gubeikou, and it is not fast to walk, watching the sun still have an hour to set, Wang Tong ordered the Huwei camp to stop and start camping to rest.
Everyone was busy according to the drill code, Wang Tong looked around on the horse, and just about to get off the horse, there was a sudden smoke and dust rising from the north, drifting towards this side... Thank you, thank you, subscription, monthly pass, smash over!!
