Chapter 964: Preparing for War on the Eve of the Battle
Hu Yihuang's voice, like a wild wolf in early spring, announced the victory of the mate battle, and the sound shook the field, and it is estimated that the deaf can not be deaf.
It doesn't matter if Hu Yihuang's roar is induced, the 200,000 people of the heavenly army are also roaring in unison, which is really deafening.
The Manchu Qing suddenly heard Hu Yihuang's response, and when they pondered the content, they were all stunned, and the entire camp was silent.
Suddenly, Qi Shan's male duck voice came out: "I'm angry, all the children, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, eat a full meal, kill all the thieves!"
"Kill all the thieves!" the 200,000 Qing soldiers shouted, and the sound was quite earth-shattering.
At this point, all 400,000 people know that tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, there will be a fierce battle to the death!
The scale of the war seems to have been experienced by none of the individuals involved.
With such a big war, no one knows what the outcome will be, and no one can win it with certainty.
Especially for each person, it is impossible to predict whether it will be life or death.
It didn't take long for the smell of meat to come from the two camps, which was the main generals of both sides adding food to their warriors.
No one knows if this is the last dinner.
Even the most demanding officials, at this time, are no longer stingy, who can afford to deprive them of the last bit of joy in life before death?
Hu Yihuang summoned the commanders of the Chinese army and the infantry commanders before and after the cavalry, and gave them a final explanation, saying that if the war starts tomorrow, regardless of the front, rear, and Chinese troops, they will attack the enemy at eight o'clock, regardless of 3721, and charge with one heart.
He also told the infantry commander that the 80,000 infantry were still guarding the camp, and that they had nothing to do with the cavalry charge.
Everyone also knows that if the general infantry is directly facing the cavalry, due to the difference in troops. It's tantamount to suicide.
In fact, Hu Yihuang still has an idea, these infantry hold these camps, if their twelve cavalry are defeated by the enemy's 200,000, there is still a place to retreat.
Hu Yihuang can only make this arrangement for the time being, because Mai Ke has not shown up yet, and there is no further news. He can't just do nothing and wait.
At the same time, the Qing army camp was also lively.
The vast majority of the Qing army were steppe nomads, who were warlike by nature and accustomed to living on horseback, and the main theme of life was to fight!
Every time there is a war, it is like a festival! This is the case before the war begins, and it is also the case after the battle, especially after the battle is won.
This is the case today, as soon as they heard that the war would begin tomorrow morning. Immediately, the crowd cheered.
The main reason for cheering is that you can eat and drink again today.
Although it is said that it was before the start of the war, most of them are celebrated as victories after the start of the war.
Why?
Because all the Qing soldiers have a consensus: the cavalry of the heavenly army is vulnerable!
Only the cavalry president has this concern.
Who is this Commander?
This is a mighty young man with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he has a great background.
First of all, he is the eldest son of Seng Lingqin, whose name is Boyan Nemohu, who is a civil and military all-rounder, a peerless bow and horse, with a family history, and a deep heritage of the family.
And then. When the emperor was on his own expedition, he was appointed commander of the Chinese army!
His task was to go on an expedition with the emperor. He personally led the Chinese army of 50,000, all of which were cavalry.
Although he is not very old, he has been both civil and military, he began to practice martial arts at the age of ten, and has been studying in the capital since he was a child, and he is smart and studious. He is proficient in Mongolian, Chinese, and Manchu, and can speak fluently in Manchu.
Not only that, but Boyan Nemohu also inherited the resolute style of Seng Grinqin and began to be appreciated by the imperial court.
The old monk is also a godson, and the size is strictly required. Never tolerated and accommodating.
Therefore, from an early age, Boyan Nemohu received a strict moral education from his father, which was an important factor in his later efforts to always be diligent and honest.
Bo Yan Mo Mo is very angry, a talent, deal with it appropriately, deeply feel the sacred heart, Xianfeng is happy, and he will be rewarded immediately!
This is no small reward!
The first is to let him inherit the title of the Iron Hat Prince of Monk Greenqin, that is, Prince Bodol Gatai, even if he doesn't know the accurate news of the old monk king.
This means that if Sanglingqin returns unharmed, he will still be his prince, and that the same title of Boyan Nemohu will remain with him unless he is deprived of it by a special decree.
In this way, there will be a unique phenomenon of "double iron hat prince" in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
But how did this prince leave the emperor's side and get here?
To put it simply, although Qi Shan, as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, commanded 200,000 cavalry, his martial arts and strategy were obviously insufficient.
He also had self-knowledge, so he insisted on a marshal to the emperor.
After repeated weighing, Xianfeng finally reluctantly sent Boyan Nemohu out to serve as the governor of the cavalry.
Now the two are talking about tomorrow's battle.
"Bo Yanxian's nephew! This time the Heavenly Army has finally met the battle, we must seize the opportunity to gather and annihilate in one go! Do you think we can send 100,000 troops?"
"Uncle! The 120,000 cavalry of the Heavenly Army is by no means easy to take, my opinion is that all 200,000 cavalry can be pressed in one fell swoop! Even if you kill a chicken, you have a knife, and besides, the 120,000 cavalry of the Heavenly Army is by no means a chicken!"
"Otherwise, 150,000, you have to leave enough troops to defend the battalion. Qi Shan asked to take a step back.
"No, uncle! Not only can't you leave troops to defend the camp, but your hometown must also attack! I can do it with some strength, but if you want to talk about prestige, you don't deserve to carry your old man's shoes! You also know that the best defense is to attack, and we have destroyed the enemy in one fell swoop, which is better than leaving behind to defend the camp with fewer people!"
Qi Shanjian couldn't make sense of Boyan, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Because Qi Shan knew that the emperor had a personal imperial approval as to who would decide on military matters in the end: "The two of them negotiate military affairs, and if they disagree, Boyan Namo Hu will make the final decision!"
Therefore, if he can't convince Boyan to listen to him, he can only listen to Boyan.
However, as an old qualification, he still has privileges.
Although he agreed to go to the front, he asked Boyan to send 10,000 troops to protect him.
Boyan pondered for a moment. And he said yes.
He said in his heart, as long as you arrive at the front line, among the ten thousand armies, the enemy will attack, no matter what your function is? There is only one way, to beat the opponent to death!
Then they feasted and drank, prepared for a good night's rest, and the next day they were refreshed and went to war.
They eat all the beef and mutton they bring, and the method of carrying them is the same as always, they are all driving herds of cattle and herds of sheep. They are all alive and slaughtered improvised when they are to be eaten.
This method of letting their food transport itself embodies the ancient wisdom of nomads.
As for the wine they drank, it was mare's milk wine, which was a must-have wine before the expedition and at the time of celebration, and this kind of wine was not of high content, and it was not a matter at all for the nomadic men who drank wine like water.
Satiated. And all the people went to sleep, only to sleep well. Tomorrow will be able to play well.
At this time, in the Heavenly Army camp, everyone was also full of war meals and returned to sleep in the camp tent, but Hu Yihuang was still waiting for Mai Ke's arrival.
After waiting for another hour or so, he didn't wait. Anyway, there are still a few hours, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, why should you come?
Where did this Mai Ke go?
It turned out that he went to the Jiaodong area in the northeast again.
The men of the Celestial Army's Liuyuan Special Purpose Regiment had gone there with the fleet, and Mai Ke planned to ask them for help when he was dealing with the enemy's superior cavalry in the northwest battlefield.
Since the Elemental Special Team is used. Then just move big, they don't have the experience to do this anyway, and this is a great opportunity.
Mai Ke decided to call in 100,000 elemental experts to go to the northwest, and the remaining 100,000 stayed to capture the Jiaodong Peninsula.
However, on the issue of determining who left and who went, the county lord of Xiaodao and Chen Yucheng competed to go, and no one gave in.
"Draw lots!" Mai Ke resolutely decided to let the people here try their luck and determine by drawing lots.
In fact, this similar method is recorded in the Bible, they use dice, and they say that it is for God to decide.
Drawing lots, basically the same way as throwing dice, is actually a god who decides who will fight the cavalry.
Mai Ke then made two lots for drawing lots, one for the northeast and the other for the northwest.
Those who caught the northeast stayed behind, and those who caught the northwest went to the northwest with Mai Ke.
The two of them reached out at the same time, each grabbed one, and then handed it to Mai Ke to open.
As a result, the county lord of Xiaodao was lucky and caught the one who went to the northwest, while Chen Yucheng's luck was not so good, needless to say, he caught the one in the northeast.
Seeing that Chen Yucheng was sullen, Mai Ke hurriedly comforted him and said that the next time he had a chance, he would go and take turns.
Then, the army of 200,000 primordials split in two.
The county lord of Xiaodao led 100,000 people to follow Mai Ke.
In fact, everyone was transported by the spirit rhino together.
On the way, Mai Ke found the little county lord and the knife sharp, and saw that it was a little messy by those Manchu cavalry tonight.
The county lord of Xiaodao smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother Ke, this idea is good, I like it!"
The knife was sharp, "I like to be lively the most! You have booked, how to add chaos, I'll add it, I'll make chaos!"
These two people like to be lively, and they can't count on them to come up with some ideas.
Suddenly, the knife sharpened and shouted: "I have an idea, when I was a child, we used to use firecrackers to blow up dogs to play, and now we can blow up horses and ......"
"Pure blindness, where to find firecrackers......" The county lord of the knife didn't wait for the knife to finish speaking, and stopped him.
"There you have it!" Mai Ke interrupted the county lord of the knife, "Although there are no firecrackers, we can attack with fire!"
So Mai Ke called the two army commanders who were experts in fire elements and gas elements and gave them tasks.
After a while, everyone reached the back of the Manchu cavalry camp, cut through the simple wall, and the fire and gas experts got in.
The other 80,000 people outside were there standing still, ready to deal with those who had entered the chaos.
It didn't take much effort, and the whole camp was on fire everywhere, especially the stables, all of which were patronized by the god of fire.
Tens of thousands of horses rushed out of the fire, like a flood rushing out of the camp.
