Chapter 1197: Under the Heavy Reward
In fact, Tong Qingshan likes such an unsightly prison army and Wenchen, those sour people don't understand anything, and they want to meddle in the military, and the defeat is so tossed, at present, this Shandong army is not mixed by Wenchen, and the certainty of a big victory is a little more, and it can really make the warriors happy in Shandong.
"Tong Guerrilla has arrived." Chief soldier Yang Guodong greeted politely, everyone also nodded, Tong Qingshan returned the salute one by one, on the surface very polite and polite, but in the heart is very proud, after having more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, everyone is respectful and polite, this year really has to have soldiers in hand to be decent and noble, otherwise it is a hairless phoenix that is not as good as a chicken.
Yang Guodong, the chief soldier, nodded to a staff member beside him, and the staff member said: "The Xuzhou thief army did not defend Jining, and went directly north from the canal, rushing towards us head-on. ”
Everyone nodded, the battlefield was most afraid of such a sudden situation, but after Dongpingzhou, the terrain was flat, except for the unworthy Liangshan Shuibo, there was no complicated terrain, there was nothing to hide the ambush soldiers, as long as the light cavalry did not collect enough attention at night, then there would be no hidden danger.
The staff member said: "According to the report of the horse exploration, there are more than 7,000 thieves in Xuzhou, of which about 5,000 are thieves in the number of Jiading, four battalion heads, and the rest are regimental training, and the grain and grass in the camp should be ten miles behind, and there should be people and strong guards." ”
Hearing this "more than 7,000", the guerrilla Tong Qingshan's mood immediately became brisk, the official army is twice as large as the thief army, and the cavalry is nearly 3,000 people, not to mention the overall pressure of the army, even if the cavalry is taken out to charge alone, it will completely sweep away the Xuzhou thief army, but the guerrilla Tong Qingshan is also very puzzled, why the colleagues in Denglai Town look so cautious.
"Is there artillery?" Chief soldier Yang Guodong opened his mouth and asked, Tong Qingshan was stunned, the thief soldiers still have artillery, this artillery is used in the field There is such and such inconvenience, the thief soldiers are not used to defend the city, can they still pull it out, it is really inexperienced.
"The horses dare not approach the thief army, and the thieves and light horses are all humvee thieves, and the cover is very powerful." The staff opened his mouth and replied that the chief soldier Yang Guodong naturally knew it for a long time, but he had to ask questions and answers to let everyone know.
"How many Centaurs are there?" "It won't be more than six hundred."
This made the guerrilla Tong Qingshan even more relaxed, but he still noticed that Yang Guodong, the chief soldier in the field, and the Shandong generals in Denglai Town, each looked solemn, Yang Guodong cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the plan of the thief army is very clear, they don't want to have any tricks, they just want to bump into it, the thief army has never heard of any defeat before, and it is estimated that they have long been arrogant." ”
Chief soldier Yang Guodong glanced around, and finally his eyes stayed on the face of the guerrilla Tong Qingshan, and said: "Tong Guerrilla, the thousands of Liao soldiers under your command are all new forces, and the elite soldiers and iron cavalry who fought with the Tartars in Liao Town were going to arrange for you to take the lead this time, and the thief army was brave, so it was up to you to fight him hard!" ”
More than 7,000 soldiers and horses against more than 7,000 thieves, this can not be said to be a black pot to suffer from bitter medicine in any case, but to send the credit, Tong guerrilla in the Ming army for many years of experience, naturally prepared to endure hardships in the front, the merit in the back, never thought that the Lord would be so fair, immediately hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the last general is willing to move forward bravely and annihilate the thieves." ”
Over there, Yang Guodong nodded, but Tong Qingshan noticed that the other generals were exchanging glances with each other, which seemed to be a little gloating, more relieved, this is really a bit weird, guerrilla Tong Qingshan inexplicably rose a wave of anger, and said excitedly: "No matter how fierce this Xuzhou thief is, can he still be worse than the Jianzhou Tartars, our Liao soldiers and the Tartars are a little down, what is this Xuzhou anti-thief outcast." ”
For this kind of impassionedness, everyone's response was very bland, just laughing dryly, this must be jealous of me for taking the lead to take the lead, you are so unsympathetic, wait for Lao Tzu to show you, guerrilla Tong Qingshan secretly thought in his heart.
Yang Guodong, the chief soldier, sighed and said slowly: "Yang Gushen, you lead our cavalry to stand by, but what you want to do can be explained in advance, you have to rush over from the left side of the thief array, if Tong Guerrilla disrupts the thieves, you have to rush in time, don't care about the dead and wounded, rush in and disrupt them!" ”
Everyone looked at a sturdy man again, he was Yang Guodong's personal soldier Qianzong, the elite cavalry in command of Denglai Town, this person is Yang Guodong's cousin, he has always been very trusted, hearing this, except for Tong Guerrilla, everyone else is quite shocked, some people still want to step forward to dissuade, Yang Guodong waved his hand over there, was silent for a while, and then spoke seriously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the troops, the first wave is our roads, it is said that it is more than 50,000 to the outside world, in fact, almost 70,000 are dispatched, the second wave has also begun to mobilize, Shanxi, Xuanfu and Beizhili Baoding, Zhending all the border troops and camps are ready to move, the soldiers and horses on the three sides of Shaanxi are also prepared, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Huguang have begun to have soldiers and horses gathered, ready to go to Nanzhili, do you understand how big the scene is this time?"
Yang Guodong's words made everyone gasp, the scale of this kind of mobilization is the battle of the country, which is equivalent to mobilizing all the Ming officials and troops in the face of the Jianzhou Jurchen, facing the grassland Mongolia, and suppressing the southwest Tusi, just to suppress the Xuzhou thieves, this is to use the soldiers and horses of the whole Ming Dynasty to deal with the thieves in one state.
Hearing this, the guerrilla Tong Qingshan felt that it was not quite right, such a scale was too incredible, in his mind, such a mobilization of forces, not to mention just Xuzhou, I am afraid that even the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Mongolian tribes can be destroyed, Yang Guodong said that this is not alarmist, if this is the case, then wouldn't it be sent to death if he went here? Tong Guerrilla suddenly understood the expressions and expressions of the previous people.
"The only person who can mobilize so many soldiers and horses is today, and the person who can say that the Son of Heaven can do this, only Gonggong Wei, the roots of the general everyone knows, everyone must not be confused about things in the officialdom, not to mention the second wave, just the first wave, but the cabinet and the Ministry of War, how can they be mobilized, how many favors do Gonggong Wei have to do such a big thing, but he still did it, Gonggong Wei has made such a big effort, all he wants is a big victory, you have someone to follow me for a long time, there are new talents to Shandong, Let me ask you from the bottom of my heart, can Grandpa Wei tolerate defeat? ”
The surroundings are very quiet, although Wei Zhongxian's party in the DPRK and China is powerful, there are other factions in the DPRK and China, and the opposition factions are even more noisy, wanting to mobilize such a large-scale force, it is equivalent to the inner court and the outer court must reach an agreement, and the hostile factions cannot oppose it too much, in order to reach such an agreement, Wei Zhongxian must have made an exchange and invested the capital, even if there is the support of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Betting heavily on the capital, it is natural to make huge profits, Wei Zhongxian has done so much, how can he tolerate failure, if Father-in-law Wei wants to blame someone, everyone knows what will happen to that person, Yang Guodong explained so clearly, everyone is awe-inspiring.
"You all understand the consequences, don't you? So no one is allowed to cower and retreat, and those who violate the general's order, from the general down, no one is allowed to practice military law, and no one will regret it until the death penalty is imminent, understand? Yang Guodong raised his voice slightly, his tone also became cold, and all the generals were awe-inspiring, and replied with their fists clenched: "Please rest assured, your subordinates are moving forward bravely!" ”
Chief soldier Yang Guodong nodded, and said again: "You don't have to be too afraid, the thief army is arrogant, this time the use of soldiers has already committed a big taboo, if this will be presided over by the thieves, he will definitely merge his elite into one place, and by being on the inside line, according to the distance of the road, gather superior forces and fight with the officers and soldiers, but now he is extremely confident, dividing the troops everywhere, not clenching his fists to beat people, but breaking them and poking them with his fingers, isn't this a taboo in the art of war?" ”
Speaking of this, the generals' faces softened a little, and Yang Guodong said again: "The thieves in Shandong are only thirty percent of the old soldiers, and the rest of the training is only a year, and many of them are still strong men directly pulled by the homeless people, so they go into battle in such a hurry, can they still expect any combat power?" ”
"Not to mention that the gentry and people of Yanzhou Mansion have their hearts to the court and have rebelled several times, this is the instability of the rear of the thieves, not to mention that our army is powerful, and there is plenty of food and grass, not to mention how long our army has been planning, and the thieves are in a hurry to meet the battle, this victory and defeat comparison, are you still not sure?" Yang Guodong's statement made the generals gradually excited.
After a slight pause, the chief soldier Yang Guodong said solemnly: "You must have heard about the breach of the Yellow River dam in Xuzhou last year, how many people will die in the Yellow River burst, how many houses and fertile land will be destroyed, Xuzhou must be greatly injured, and now it maintains the appearance of being strong and strong in the middle, don't be scared by them!" ”
As soon as they heard about the Yellow River breach, everyone exchanged faces with each other, and this excitement had turned into joy, and everyone had heard of the scourge of the Yellow River flood even if they had not experienced it personally.
Seeing everyone's affection, Yang Guodong said solemnly: "Everyone, this meeting is presided over by Gonggong Wei, Gonggong Wei will never treat meritorious ministers badly, as long as this big victory, as long as he makes meritorious contributions this time, don't say that he is promoted and rewarded, and it is not vain to worship the marquis, do you understand?" ”
The apex of the dream of the generals of the official army is to be knighted, and after making military exploits, he won the title and became the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and the three grades of the duke, marquis and earl have become more and more difficult to get over the years, one is that there is no war everywhere, and the other is that there has been no victory everywhere, but just now after the chief soldier Yang Guodong analyzed the victory or defeat, everyone has a certainty, and then think about this prospect, everyone is excited, as for the spoils of Xuzhou and Jining after making a fortune, then there is no need to mention.
