Chapter 232: It's only reassuring to have Wang Dou by his side
Li Youde said: "Da Niu, this tartar will be handed over to you for interrogation." It was only at this time that Li Youde had the opportunity to ask Chen Ying: "Brother Chen, are you okay, are you injured?" ”
Chen Ying shook her head, and then scolded angrily: "Turtle calf, my brother missed, five brothers, and lost three thousand." He sighed: "Two were killed on the spot, and one brother was captured, I'm afraid it's ...... He punched a big tree in front of him in hatred, and he didn't know that the tiger's jaw was broken.
This is a sturdy middle-aged man, not tall, but very sturdy, with a leather hat on his head and a thick cotton robe on his body, dressed like a resident of Liaodong. His accent is also a little different from the accent of Baoanzhou, but fortunately, when he is out on the expedition, everyone speaks more official dialect, so there is basically no problem in communicating.
His face was full of frost and pain, and his eyes seemed to be beating with rage, and he carried a huge bow and arrow on his back, and a horse bow and a huge sword were hung from the saddle of the horse beside him.
Not far from him, there was also a supervising battalion Ding Yu Mao'er who accompanied the sentry, a very ordinary-looking person, who would definitely not be able to distinguish it in the crowd. He was also dressed in a cotton robe, with a fur hat that had fallen out of his hair, and stood by with his hands tied, like a cowering old peasant.
He looked like he was in his forties, but according to his own words, he was not yet thirty years old, "with the same Liaodong accent, and a large scar on the right side of his cheek, which seemed to have been grazed by a sharp arrow." He is usually quiet and dull, and it is rare to say a few words, but his mouse-like eyes are always flashing with a cunning and cruel light.
At this time, Yu Mao'er stood beside Da Niu and watched him torture the tartar, watching Da Niu cut off the meat of the tartar piece by piece with a rusty knife, listening to his howl that he couldn't die, he was a little panting, and seemed to be so excited that he couldn't restrain himself.
Listening to Chen Ying's words, Li Youde was also silent, he said: "I waited for the day I joined the army, I expected that there would be such a result, the warrior died on the battlefield, and the horse grass shrouded in corpse, it is better than dying on the bed He said a few words, thinking of his damaged brother, there were tears in his eyes.
Li Youde didn't want to mention this matter more, and said to Chen Ying: "Fortunately, I waited for the sentry for a few days, and I also found out the situation of the Tartar soldiers in front. In the direction of Dingzhou, there is an army of Tartars with white flags, led by the thief Duoduo and Abatai. After Wang Dou brought in grain and grass, behind each battalion, there were also a large number of grain and grass carts and horses.
These burdens also inevitably slowed down the pace of the army's march, and the soldiers of the towns of Xuanda were already starving, although the grain and grass in their camp were now less than half a month's food. But in any case, these grains and grasses must be carried with them to feel at ease, and if the march is dragged down, it will be dragged down.
Lu Xiangsheng rode on his Wumingji in high spirits, and looked back at Wang Dou's army approvingly, those sergeants can be said to be all good soldiers. They followed behind Wang Dou's banner of the Chinese army, ten people in a row, one in a row, one in a neat march, coming out of Baoding City, their queue was always so strict, even those bulbuls were no exception.
Most of these people are infantrymen, and they are all dressed in heavy armor, and they have been marching for a few days, and no one has been left behind. Say ten people in a row, ten people in a row, and each row looks in a straight line.
The long-distance march, even the cavalry of Sanfed can not do this, the queue of several horses and a row has been a little crooked, Zhang Yan, the general of Xuanfu behind Wang Dou, the cavalry in his army is fine, but half of them are infantry, and now their marching army has been sparsely pulled, and many sergeants are listlessly dragging their tired bodies, struggling to keep up.
Just looking at the lineup of the march, the strength of the army under Wang Dou can be said to be in the position of the three feeds of Xuanda.
Lu Xiangsheng was amazed, and the more he looked at Wang Dou, the more he loved him, but unfortunately Wang Dou's identity and military position were not enough, otherwise he would be transferred to the town to train soldiers and horses for each feed, and train an army as strong as the Shunxiang Army for the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Wang Dou also noticed this problem, in the barracks of each town, when it comes to personal bravery, fighting alone, most of the battalion soldiers are stronger than their own Shunxiang army. It is a pity that in terms of military discipline, orders and prohibitions, and the cooperation of the battle array, they are far inferior to their own Shunxiang army.
In the battle, the dignified battle formation cooperation is the most important, and the personal force is ranked last. Therefore, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the army only relied on a few families to fight, and when it was victorious, it was defeated for thousands of miles.
Causing this situation, Wang Dou estimates that the deduction of military salaries in the baby army is one of them, and it is also one of the annoying or difficult to train on weekdays, the arrogant soldiers in the battalions, there are too many soldiers, and it is very difficult to rectify them.
Fortunately, all the training he trained was the new army, and he was exempt from the phenomenon of soldier oil, and his own sergeants did not need to be paid, which was cheap and easy to use, and was mass-produced. In the territory of Gaoyang, there are thousands of slaves and thieves, and the slave chieftain Dolgon leads ......"
All the generals listened attentively to what Lu Xiangsheng said, especially Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong, who glanced at Yang Guozhu with envy.
The battalions did not collect their posts at night, but they all shrank into a heap in fear, and did not dare to open them at all. Such important information was given by Xuanfu to the body official Wang Douye who did not accept it from the family of the supervising battalion, and they made another contribution in Xuanfu Town, and Yang Guozhu, who was the chief soldier, naturally had a share of the profits.
"The enemy situation is already clear, and now there are people sent to Qingdu, Dingzhou, and Gaoyang to ask for help, and this governor wants to hear what the audience will mean, I declare the generals, which slave army should I face and which city to rescue?"
Historically, if the Qing army entered a no-man's land, it was isolated in various places, and without reinforcements, no matter how strong the city was, there would be a day when it was breached. At this time, the Qing army went south several ways, and there were people asking for help everywhere, although they didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng's army to rescue their city, but the dead horse was a live horse doctor, and the officers and soldiers in the nearby city heard that Xuanda's soldiers and horses were coming, and they still came to ask for help, and each wave of people cried that one was worse than the other.
Lu Xiangsheng wanted to save everywhere, but he hated that he lacked skills, there were too few soldiers and horses under his command, and the determination of the soldiers to dare to fight was also a little weaker. Although there is an example of Wang Dou's victory, the rest of the soldiers "still need a victory to be inspired."
Lu Xiangsheng's words made the generals groan for a while, according to their thoughts, of course, it is better to only save Qingdu, there are only 1,000 Qing soldiers here, and their own 103,000 army can still eat, and there is Wang Doubu of the three armies of Yongguan in the special army. As for Dingzhou and Gaoyang, there are still more Tatar soldiers over there......
Wang Dou has no concept of Dingzhou and Qingdu, if you want to rescue, you can only save the most important one, that is Gaoyang. Anyway, that is where Sun Chengzong is, and he can't watch his Chun family die in battle.
At that moment, he got up and said: "Governor, Yang Junmen, the last general is willing to lead his soldiers and horses to Gaoyang to relieve the siege of Sun Ge Lao." ”
Everyone was shocked, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu had not yet spoken, and Wang Puji, the chief soldier of Datong, said: "By all means, the slaves and thieves are powerful, General Wang meets the enemy with thousands of soldiers, it can be described as a lot of auspiciousness, how can this army bear to see General Wang die?" ”
He said to Lu Xiangsheng sincerely: "Governor, the division of troops is weak, and it is better to consider the rescue in the long run." ”
Joke, if such a strong army as the Shunxiang Army is not placed by his side, how can Wang Pu feel at ease? Wang Dou wants to lead the army to leave, that is absolutely impossible.
Yang Guozhu didn't want Wang Dou to leave his side, so he said to Wang Dou gently: "General Wang, you sit down." ”
He said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Governor, the last general also thinks that General Wang's loyalty and courage are admirable, but the slaves and thieves are powerful, and they must not have the idea of dividing troops to rescue." ”
Hu Dawei pondered for a long time, and said: "I declare a large army and horses, you can first relieve the siege of Qingdu, Qingdu is not far from Dingzhou, after the siege of Dingzhou is solved, we can go to Gaoyang with the whole division to relieve the difficulty of Sun Ge Lao." Wang Pu applauded: "What Hujunmen said should be the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country." ”
Lu Xiangsheng also made up his mind, and the current situation of the officers and soldiers of Xuanda was still more fearful, and it was indeed impossible to divide troops to rescue. It is better to destroy the enemy army in Gyeongdu first, and then make a plan after reversing the fear of the enemy and the cowardice of the soldiers. It is hoped that the defenders of Dingzhou and Gaoyang will hold out until their reinforcements arrive.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of alarms outside the tent, and a personal guard hurriedly rushed into the big tent and reported to Lu Xiangsheng: "Qiyu Governor, there are a few slaves and thieves in the south, about 1,000 people, and they are coming towards my Xuanda camp. Everyone in the tent was alarmed, and Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Suo, jumped up and shouted, "How many slaves and thieves are there?" ”
After receiving the affirmative reply from thousands of people, he snorted coldly, and saluted Lu Xiangsheng with a fist in a majestic manner: "Governor, the last general is willing to lead the army to fight and kill this group of thieves without leaving a piece of armor!" $Old White Bull:
