Chapter 475: Fighting for Training
If there were no such fears for Huang Taiji, the prince who was defeated in Liaoyang would definitely return to the royal court as soon as possible, report to the Great Khan Huang Taiji, and let Huang Taiji prepare to guard against the tiger and leopard army.
However, there are no ifs in this world......
In this unstable land of Houjin, an unstable decision was laid down a year later, and Houjin's will never be peaceful until Houjin is destroyed by the Tiger and Leopard Army......
With more than 7,000 iron horsemen with more than 7,000 red and red flags with jealousy of Huang Taiji, they went straight to the two banners without the slightest hesitation, leaving the Tiger and Leopard Army with an empty Houjin border line......
At the same time, on the battlefield outside Liaoyang City, which was still filled with the slightest smell of blood, after replenishing the elite of the 4,000 border army, the first infantry division, the first cavalry division, and the first independent heavy artillery regiment of the Haw Par Army, as well as the first garrison division and the second garrison division of the Haw Par Army in Liaodong that had just completed the reorganization, a full 25,000 elites, stood very neatly at the gate of Liaoyang City, with a solemn face......
At this moment, the Liaoyang City Tower, which was closely guarded by hundreds of guards, suddenly appeared in a commotion.
Subsequently, Wei Zheng and Sun Chengzong, who were dressed in military uniforms, climbed the city tower as high as five battles surrounded by several personal guards, condescendingly, looking down on the more than 20,000 soldiers standing outside the city......
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the middle of the dense military formation outside the city.
"Long live the Haw Par Army...... Long live the handsome...... Long live the Haw Par Army, long live the Marshal......"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in the face of this slogan with the slightest hint of rebellion, thousands of veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Army came across the sea from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. They don't care what they do.
Because. their lives. The lives of their families, the good lives they have now...... It was all given by the marshal standing on the tower of the city. Therefore, as soon as the loud slogan sounded, these veterans shouted loudly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and at the same time raised their weapons, followed the slogan, and shouted loudly with all their strength.
Driven by these veterans. The officers and men of the former border army, who had just received their first salary and generous reward, were also driven by this inspiring slogan.
Regardless of it, he raised his weapon and shouted loudly with the veterans beside him.
Soon, this kind of loud slogan became earth-shattering.
The picture in front of him was something Wei Zheng didn't expect. Although it has the meaning of dividing the relationship between himself and the court, when he saw the people outside the city, his face turned red because of the slogan. The worry on Wei Zheng's face. Then it was replaced by excitement.
Because, the slogan in front of you. It has invisibly increased the sense of belonging and honor of the former border army officers and men to the Haw Par Army.
In this case, as long as these soldiers can come back from the Houjin battlefield that is about to begin. Then, they will become well-deserved soldiers of the Haw Par Army......
Under the gaze of more than 20,000 soldiers outside the city, Wei Zheng slowly pressed his arm, and then, the earth-shaking slogan slowly died out. In the huge military formation, no other sound could be heard except for the constant sound of whirring wind.
At this time, Wei Zheng spoke: "Soldiers, brothers, here today, everyone is anxious together, there are two ...... for the purpose"
"First, let Ben Shuai meet everyone. After all, from now on, the brothers will all have to work for Ben Shuai. ”
"Second, I would like to tell you a decision of the brothers: The commander decided to transfer the 1st Garrison Division of Liaodong Liaodong, the 2nd Garrison Division of Liaodong, the 1st Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the Western Expeditionary Corps, which is commanded by the Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong cruelly, commanding everyone, and attacking Houjin"
"For a long time, it was the Houjin Tartars who invaded the territory of my Ming Dynasty and killed and plundered people in my Ming Dynasty. Today, we will treat him in the same way as a person, send troops to Houjin, and kill and plunder in Houjin. Let the Houjin Tartars also taste the taste of being killed and robbed"
In the face of Wei Zheng's murderous order, more than 20,000 soldiers directly showed different expressions on their faces.
Thousands of veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Army from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces had a hot expression on their faces. The faces of the elite of the 4,000 border army did not change in the slightest. In the eyes of these veterans, since they have made the decision to join the Haw Par Army, they are the people of the Haw Par Army and the people of the Haw Par Army.
Now that Wei Zheng has made the decision to send troops to Houjin, these veterans who have experienced life and death can only implement one choice. Therefore, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers did not change in the slightest.
As for the more than 10,000 soldiers of the two garrison divisions, their faces showed a complicated expression full of panic and worry. In their eyes, in front of the powerful Tartar Iron Cavalry, Jin was sent to death after sending troops
However, they are also under the constraints of military discipline, no matter how scared they are, they can only obey orders.
After taking in the facial expressions of the soldiers, the murderous aura on Wei Zheng's face not only did not dissipate in the slightest, but became more intense.
He continued to order: "Ben Shuai ordered, the Western Expeditionary Corps, one day later, choose the right time to attack"
The elite of 6,000 cavalry opened the way, and the infantry of 12,000 people followed up, and the mighty Western Expeditionary Corps, under the command of Sun Chengzong, the chief of staff, and under the eyes of the marshal Wei Zheng, drove out of Liaoyang City. It's like a dragon that sees a head and no tail, and slowly moves in the direction of Houjin.
After three consecutive days of marching, the unique city of the Ming Dynasty slowly disappeared from everyone's field of vision, replaced by patches of white yurts.
Just when Sun Chengzong was riding on the standing horse, enjoying the rare grassland scene in front of him. A rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly reached Sun Chengzong's ears.
Immediately after, a cavalry herald stopped beside Sun Chengzong and reported loudly.
"Chief of Staff, the Scout Company of the Emergency Intelligence Cavalry Division reported that a medium-sized post-Golden Tartar tribe was found twenty miles ahead, and the number of yurts exceeded six thousand"
Sun Chengzong's brows furrowed, and he said to himself: "According to the population distribution of the Tartars, there are at least 30,000 Tartars in the six thousand yurts, excluding the old and weak women and children, and extracting 5,000 to 10,000 young and strong, there is absolutely no problem to know, in Houjin, everyone in the Tartars is good at riding and shooting, and tens of thousands of young and strong people represent tens of thousands of soldiers." ”
"Is there any specific military situation, especially the number of young and strong people who may be dispatched by this Tartar tribe?"
"Yes," the herald replied excitedly.
"When the scouts were scouting, they caught a few Han Chinese slaves grazing the Tartars. According to the confessions of these people, there were more than 8,000 young people in this Tartar tribe, but when they attacked Liaodong, they directly drew out 4,000 of them to participate in the war. Therefore, this Tartar tribe, the young and strong who can still be used, are only 4,000 people at full capacity."
At this time, Luo Jingshan, the commander of the First Cavalry Division next to Sun Chengzong, was like a hunter who had found his prey, and said with a hot face: "Chief of Staff, the four thousand Tartars will be handed over to the cavalry division of the last general, and the last general promises that these four thousand Tartars will be wiped out."
Sun Chengzong's eyes lit up, and he asked directly: "Master Luo, are you sure that you can eat these four thousand tartars cleanly."
After receiving Luo Jingshan's affirmation, Sun Chengzong continued to ask: "Is there a way to lure these four thousand Tartars out and eliminate them far away from their tribe?"
After a short period of contemplation, Luo Jingshan affirmed again: "It is possible that the Tartars have never been attacked in Houjin, if we send a regiment to rob their cattle and sheep. The last general can be sure that with the arrogant character of the Tartars in the past, he will definitely draw all the young men in the clan and destroy a cavalry regiment sent out by the last general. ”
"In this way, this cavalry regiment, which serves as the bait, can lure the four thousand Tartars to the battlefield predetermined by the last general and wipe them out cleanly."
"Okay" Hearing this, a smile also appeared on Sun Chengzong's tense face.
He asked the commanders of the other two garrison divisions beside him, "If the cavalry division exterminates the four thousand young men in the Tartar tribe." Do you two divisions have the courage to follow the general and take down the Tartar tribe who have almost no defensive power. Wipe out all the Tartars in the tribe who dare to resist."
The two commanders of the two garrison divisions from the 1st Infantry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army replied almost without thinking: "Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, those brothers under the command of the last general, although they have not experienced any major battles. However, there is still no problem in dealing with a group of Tartars, old and weak women and children."
Hearing this, a huge idea that not only played a role in training troops, but also played a role in inspiring the morale of the army, quickly appeared in Sun Chengzong's mind. In anticipation of the three division commanders, he decisively ordered.
"In this case, this general ordered: Commander Luo of the First Cavalry Division, lead 6,000 soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division to lure the 4,000 young Tartars out of the tribe and destroy them."
"The first and second garrison divisions, under the personal command of Ben General, after the young men in the Tartar tribe are lured out, they will immediately attack in regimental units to surround and destroy all the resistance forces in the entire Tartar tribe."
The three subordinates with hot faces replied excitedly as if they had been beaten in an instant: "Please rest assured that the chief of staff will guarantee the completion of the task."
Sun Chengzong nodded and continued to remind: "Before the battle begins, Ben will once again remind everyone of the military discipline of my Tiger and Leopard Army, especially the two garrison divisions."
"Before we attacked, the commander had already announced that of all the captures in this sortie, twenty percent of the captures would be given to everyone as trophies. Therefore, in the course of the battle, all seizures must be confiscated, and it is forbidden for any soldier to secretly conceal the seizure of those who violate the military law."
"In addition, this Mongolian tribe still has a lot of Han slaves, for these people, as long as they do not resist, all of them will be captured, you must know that these slaves are the best people in Liaodong to develop and grow in the future" (to be continued......
