Come to Daming with military supplies

Among them are some warriors who have participated in tribal wars before, or fought back against the grassland bandits for their own safety.Just because there was no way to report, just because there were too many concerns, just because of meritorious service and not being rewarded, etc., they chose to leave the original army and became an ordinary citizen again.

But they are still prairie warriors in their bones. They did not join the army or join any party. It is not that they dare not do it, they do not want to do it, but they are unwilling, because there is no one they think they should serve, or they think that their efforts and gains cannot be directly proportional.

But now, Yang Chendong gave them a vivid lesson, letting them know that there is still such an army in the world, as long as you make meritorious service, you can get enough rewards, the only thing to consider now is whether your own ability is qualified enough That's all.

"Do you still want people?" Finally, some unwilling people in the crowd asked a question that many people wanted to ask.

"Hehe, it depends on the situation. Specifically, go to the conscription office in the city and ask." Yang Er's loud voice has a place to use, he has already received Yang Chendong's orders, and at this moment he took the initiative to say loudly with.

The voice quickly spread among the people, and it didn't take long for everyone to know about it.Some people are also eager to try this, thinking about waiting for the end of the war. If the mercenaries can really prove that they can defeat enemies that are several times their own, then they will consider joining this army and fight for their own future and future generations. Fight for a future.

Chapter 7 Chapter Seven

Yang Chendong saw all this in his eyes, which is why he threw gold and silver in the street.Although it is said that food, grass, gold and silver are needed to raise soldiers, the more troops there are, the heavier the burden will be.Under the current circumstances, he has no plans to conscript yet, but this does not prevent him from making preparations early, so that once he needs soldiers, he will have a steady stream of reserve troops to choose from.

Although the task of the independent regiment was completed beautifully, it opened the gate to release the water, and it was a series of attacks with bows, arrows and muskets. In fact, there was no danger in this battle.But he still has to praise with great fanfare, in order to buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars.

Now it seems that the effect is there.When he was back on the road to the largest city lord's mansion in Shicheng, he smiled and said to Zhuifeng, Lu Zhuo, Yela and other regiment leaders beside him, "See, many of the common people below have moved to join the army." Thinking, so you can fight with confidence in the next few battles. Once there is any loss, I will give you as many recruits as many warriors you have killed in battle. I will ensure the integrity of your establishment. Just give it a go. .”

"Yes, Sixth Young Master." Zhuifeng and the others said respectfully with cupped fists.The last worry is gone. Even if the army is disabled, it can be quickly replenished. So what is there to be afraid of?The next step is to give it a go.

Compared with the shock of life on the mercenary side, the Tatar Agadorji Department is indeed thunderous and furious, and the sound of angry reprimands can be heard clearly from several feet away from the military tent.

"You just lost like that, how do you still have the face to come back? Why didn't you die in the West River."

"Do you know that you brought five thousand cavalry, five thousand cavalry. They all died in less than half an hour like this. How do you still have the face to come back, have the face to come back?"

"Come on, drag Ge Lang out and kill him to show the military power."

"Father, calm down, calm down." Another slightly younger voice sounded.

"Yes, please calm down, my lord. When a horse stumbles, victory or defeat is a common occurrence on the battlefield. Besides, it is unlucky to kill a general before the battle. Please give General Grand a scapegoat." opportunity." Another very calm voice followed.

Needless to say, it was Agadorji who was angry before, and his son Hara Ruochu and another tiger general Suhe were the ones who spoke next.

After being persuaded by his son and his general, Agadorji knew that people should not be killed, otherwise it would only chill everyone's hearts.The most important thing was that the enemy was in front of him, and it was time to employ people. It was unlucky to kill the general before the battle, and he couldn't find a more capable general than Grand.

Thinking in his heart, although Grand was responsible for negligence in this battle, how could it not be due to the fact that the enemy was too rampant and took the initiative to set the trap?Even if it's not Grand this time, if it's someone else, it's hard to guarantee that he won't fall for it.

Forced to take a few deep breaths, looking at Grand who was kneeling on the ground trembling, Agadorji said angrily, "Forget it, if Suhe and Hara come out to intercede for you this time, I will spare you for the time being." But if you want to take the place of your crimes and make meritorious service, if something goes wrong, you will definitely be killed."

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord." Grand knocked his head on the ground like garlic, and the cold sweat from his head finally disappeared a lot.

Grand was defeated, and all five thousand cavalry were lost.This is also equivalent to sounding a wake-up call for Agadorji. Facing such a formidable opponent as a mercenary, all luck and cleverness can be put away.The next thing to do is to fight in an upright manner, defeating the opponent head-on.

Thinking about it, he is still more than twice as strong as the opponent, so even if he fights head-on, there is nothing terrible about it. "The order goes on, the army has a good rest for a day, and I will go to Xihe tomorrow morning. I want to see if the enemy has any tricks that can stop our army from advancing." Agadorji finally made a final decision, and the shock was heavy. cheers.

It wasn't long before dawn. When it was dawn, the army set out, and it took only two hours to reach Xihe.Compared with last night, the river here has become much more turbulent. What's more striking is that just across the river, there is a Jingguan composed of about [-] heads, which seems to be telling the tragic battle that happened here last night.

Glaring at the Jingguan with heads on the other side of the river a hundred meters away, Agadorji clenched his hands and shouted angrily, "Mercenaries, when we defeat you, we will definitely build a bigger Jingguan so that all People know what will happen if we are angered. Come and try to cross the river."

With one order, some soldiers with good water skills began to try to cross the river, but faced with the turbulent river, after several unsuccessful attempts, they announced that the idea of ​​attacking the West River would not work, at least within a few days. Don't think about it.

"My lord, the upstream river has opened its sluices. It is obviously impossible to pass through here. It is better to find another way." Seeing the army stop here, facing the Jingguan who was still exuding blood , The longer the stay, the lower the morale of the army, and Su He, who had no choice but to stand up.

"Is there any good solution for General Su?" Agadorji asked calmly.

"My lord, there are only three ways to get close to Shicheng. First, take a detour to the north and enter from the north slope; second, build a raft and forcefully cross the West River; third, take a detour to the south and rush from Nanlin to the south gate of Shicheng. .”

Su He, who said three ways in one breath, caused Agador to nod his head uncontrollably. This is what a tiger general should do, not like his son Hara Ruochu and General Grand. I can only look at the river and sigh.

Seeing that Agadorji nodded in approval of his suggestion, Su He continued, "Crossing the river on a raft is not advisable. Who knows what kind of reaction the mercenaries will have when we build a raft? In short, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. As for the northern slope in the north, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not suitable for cavalry assaults. Only the southern forest is in the south. Although the dense forest is on the side, it is very suitable for an army to ambush. Taking precautions, coupled with the fact that the area is in a vast location, it is possible to fight. Of course, how to make a decision is up to the adults."

After analyzing everything, Su He was able to keep his own role, and finally handed over the right to choose.

Such capable and well-measured subordinates can naturally win the favor of their superiors.At this moment, after hearing these words, Agadorji's expression became much better, "What General Su said is true. Then according to your words, we should go to Nanlin?"

"Since this subordinate can think of it, he must also be able to think of it if he hires him. So we still have to listen to the final decision of the adults." Su He kept his duty and said while clasping his fists.

"Huh?" This sentence reminded Agadorji.Yes, the analysis of all these seems to be correct, but how could the mercenaries not know?It is conceivable that the opponent will definitely ambushe a large number of cavalry in Nanlin to attack him.If so, how to deal with it?

Suddenly, everyone was silent, and the surrounding area fell into a tranquility.Grand, who was in it, blinked his eyes constantly, then seemed to think of something, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Talk." Agadorji was at his wit's end when the general below had a suggestion, and of course he wanted to listen to it.

It was time for Grand to perform meritorious deeds, and if he had the opportunity to make new achievements, of course he would not hide anything. After getting permission, he said, "My lord, this subordinate thinks so. The number of mercenaries in Shicheng is limited after all, although they have The location is favorable, but if we can divide our forces to attack in several ways, we will definitely attract them to also divide their forces, so that their attacking strength will be much worse. After all, once we divide our forces, not only will they attack us The threat will be minimized, even if something happens and we lose a certain road, at least the other two roads are safe, and it is also possible to capture Shicheng."

"Oh? Hmm. This statement makes sense." As if suddenly awakened, Agadoleji felt his eyes light up at this moment.That's right, his advantage is that he has more soldiers, which is the opponent's shortcoming. If he is willing to divide his troops, it will be tantamount to forcing the opponent to divide his troops.

Thinking in this way, Agadorji seemed to see hope. He laughed loudly at first, and then said, "Yes, isn't the enemy's strength small? Even so, we immediately divide our forces, forcing the other party to have to Divide the troops, so the advantage is in my hands. Well, let’s do it like this. If Hara leaves me, where will I be? I will give you [-] cavalry to immediately build a raft and look for an opportunity to cross the river. Remember, if you have a chance, you will cross it. Hold each other here."

"General Grand, I will give you [-] cavalry to go to the north slope. If there is a chance, they will break through. If there is no chance, they will find a way to contain the opponent. Once we find that the opponent's soldiers on the slope have retreated, it will be time for me to succeed. That At that time, you can send troops as strong as you can, attack the north slope, and go straight to the north gate of Shicheng."

"General Su Ge, you and I will lead [-] troops to the southern forest. With our superior strength, even if we meet, they will not have as many soldiers as us. When the time comes, it will be difficult to charge on the battlefield." Look at the style of the general."

"Yes, my lord." The three generals whose names were called immediately nodded in agreement.The three of them did not raise any doubts about this division of labor.

Hara Ruochu is the least capable and is Agadorji's son. It is the safest route to find a way to cross the river, and it is most appropriate to guard here.

Grand's ability is second. Watching the north slope, he can attack and defend, and the possibility of accidents will be much less. The arrangement can also be called suitable.

As for the most capable Su He, he was arranged to go with Agadorji and lead the most troops. It was the most appropriate arrangement to become the main force and threaten Shicheng.

Chapter 7 and Eight

Finally, the [-] army was divided into three groups, and then separated.In front of the bustling Xihe, there were only [-] Tatar cavalry left in an instant.And everything that happened here was also discovered by the cavalry of the reconnaissance battalion who stayed on the other side of the river, and quickly reported it.

"The other side divided up the troops? Very good." Yang Chendong was not in a hurry when he heard the news, instead he laughed, which was the same as what he and the officers had imagined before.Facing Shicheng, which seems to be full of loopholes, the other party seems to want to take multiple measures, and this hits Yang Chendong's arms.

If the opponent joins forces, no matter where they choose to attack, it will take a lot of money to block them.After all, this was [-] cavalry, and Leng Feng's Third Division, which was the best at musketry, happened to be absent. With the eight-one bar of the independent regiment, it would be impossible to win without paying some price.But it will be different if the opponent divides his troops, it means that the enemy has divided a powerful fist into several pieces, and this is to give them a chance to break each of them.

"The reconnaissance battalion is dispatched and is always ready to kill all the scouts responsible for contacting the enemy. When the time comes, they are not allowed to communicate with each other again. The other regiments and battalions will start implementing the No. [-] plan prepared before, and everyone will make their own preparations. Let's go." After orderly ordering, Yang Chendong's voice fell short, and the meeting room that was originally full of officers soon became quiet again.Yang Chendong also walked to the sand table again to confirm whether there were any loopholes in his military plan.

According to the No. [-] plan, Xin Honghai, the deputy head of the independent regiment, led the six battalions to the front of the Xihe River, where he set up a formation, but whenever he found that the opponent was trying to cross the river, he would attack across the river and kill the Tatars. The Tartar cavalry was killed halfway across the river, because they were on a raft and there was no more room to hide. Once the bows and arrows attacked, they could only let those bows and arrows fall on themselves. For example, if Dan didn't make the trip, he lost hundreds of riders.

"It's so despicable!" Hara Ruochu stood on the bank of the river, watching the mercenaries attacking with bows and arrows, and said angrily.

Anger is anger, he really can't do anything about it.After all, the river channel alone is nearly a hundred meters wide, which is already the limit of the bow and arrow shooting, even if he wants to use the bow and arrow to suppress it, he can't do it.On the contrary, once the cavalry under him crossed the river halfway, it would be close to the opponent's range, and it would be strange not to be hit.

"Wait, I don't believe that the opponent's bows and arrows can be used up. I said that once the other two armies have won the victory, the opponent will have to retreat to the city. At that time, it is time for us to cross the river and attack. .” A cavalry commander spoke to Hara Ruo Chu as if he was cheering up.

"It seems that's all there is to it." Hara Ruo nodded, the task entrusted to him by his father was originally the safest.If you have a chance, go here, and if you don't have a chance, spend it here with the opponent. As long as you can attract the opponent to stay here, it will be considered a victory.

After some self-consolation, Hara Ruo came out and gave an order that no more attempts to attack were allowed until the opponent had divided his troops. Everyone just waited and took this opportunity to recharge their batteries. Once the opportunity was discovered, they rushed over River bank, kill the enemy.

"Report Sixth Young Master, the enemy on the other side of the river has become much more honest. After waiting for a day, we can consider withdrawing troops as planned." Holding a telescope, he saw the performance of Hara Ruochu and others, the deputy head of the regiment Xin Honghai smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to the orderly soldiers beside him with a smile.

At the same time, General Grand on the north slope had to issue the same order after two assaults.Staying here and facing them is a reinforced regiment of mercenary cavalry, a team of 3000 or [-] people, which is enough to achieve the effect of winning more with less, so that the [-] troops and Grand can't find a chance to win, helpless He could only hope that the mercenaries would take the initiative to retreat, and when the frontal pressure diminished, it would naturally be time for him to stand by and attack.
