Chapter Fifty-Nine: The soldiers are brave in the battle, and the ugly Jinling group is busy with the merits
"The Japanese are accustomed to being a butterfly array, and they are called by waving a fan? One person waved a fan, and everyone rose up with their swords, squandering into the air, and our soldiers raised their heads in a hurry, and cut them from below. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info and long snake array, the front of the hundred foot flag, to the second fish through, the strongest for the front, the strongest for the palace, in the brave and cowardly. ”
Li Weigong's army was short, and there was no time or possibility to reinvent an army. But as a general, at least in just a few days, he did what he ordered and prohibited, rewarded and punished strictly, and knew himself and his opponent.
The first thing Li Weigong did when he took office was to dissipate the tens of thousands of family wealth accumulated by his family over the past hundred years, make up for the military salary, and distribute the land occupied by his family to his soldiers.
In fact, in ancient times, to bring out a strong army, the first thing to do was to treat the soldiers well, and then to be strict with military discipline and diligent training. Li Weigong did it in place of the dead wretched commander. Therefore, the soldiers returned to their hearts and were willing to follow Li Weigong against the current and face the Japanese invaders.
There is only victory, or death in battle. Only the fields under Li Weigong can truly belong to them!
Li Weigong is buying his life, buying the lives of the Japanese invaders, and also buying the lives of himself and his subordinates.
In ancient times, human life was so cheap, and the soldiers of the guard were even more cheap. Li Weigong did what the soldiers would not dare to think of on weekdays, and naturally the soldiers would return a loyalty and a courage to fight for themselves.
The Japanese knives were sharp, and Li Weigong replaced all the soldiers with heavy knives with thick backs, and the Japanese had no long-range weapons, so Li Weigong prepared more bows and crossbows in the camp. Under Li Weigong's first step, the Weisho army under Li Weigong's command was stunned from the very beginning, and the Japanese and Ming officials on the city wall were stunned.
No matter how fierce the Japanese were in the face of the desperate death, fighting for their lives, and relying on the battle formation, the army was just a clown jumping off the beam and was shot to death on the way forward of the huge wave.
A husband fights to the death, and a hundred people do not be. Li Weigong's army became more and more courageous, and after a few rounds, the team of Japanese who followed and killed all died under the boots of Li Weigong's army.
The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted and their confidence was bursting. On the contrary, after being a little surprised, he had to face up to the army of the Daming Jiangnan Guard.
The Japanese had to give up the pursuit of the people of Jinling, and the whole army quickly approached and engaged the enemy with all their might.
Li Weigong originally came for the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese had a reason to fight. Not to mention that after such a retreat, will this army become a trouble in the future, that is, the two armies are fighting, how can they retreat if they say retreat?
In the face of the Ming army that dared to face it, the Japanese wandering warriors were always accustomed to taking the Japanese wandering warriors as the vanguard, using them as blades, setting up a butterfly formation, and using technical and tactical advantages to first break the enemy's momentum and make the enemy feel terrified.
Zhu Zaikai stood by Li Weigong's side and witnessed this unforgettable battle. It also made it an unbelievable battle between the city walls and countless Jinling gentry and people.
When it comes to physical conditions, both sides are half-pounded and eighty-taels, and when it comes to morale, the two sides are also similar. Li Weigong has the advantage of the home field, and the Japanese have samurai as the front. From the very beginning, both sides were basically trading lives for lives.
The fierceness of the battle made the Ming officials and people on the city wall tremble. also let Zhu Zaikai really know what war is like.
The two sides just clash hard, there is no strategy in the book of war, the romance of winning a thousand miles, and there is no wonder of the famous generals and wise men, and the pride of ambushes on all sides.
The art of war has clouds, and those who fight will win with the right and the odd. What Li Weigong is now putting on is a dignified formation, coming to confront the Japanese and telling Zhu Zaikai beside him what it means to be a soldier without a plan and an army to win.
When the two armies are in battle, there will always be brave people, and of course there will be cowards.
Li Weigong asked his henchmen to pick up the longbow and big knife, and anyone who dared to turn back would be immediately killed.
When the leader of the Japanese saw that the war was in a stalemate, and the samurai that he had easily brought out from Japan were quickly consumed, he had to organize a team of warlords while his heart was dripping blood, and those who dared to flee were also immediately beheaded.
The front of the two armies was also covered with blood, and the rear of the two armies also had heads falling from time to time.
Maybe there were more casualties on Li Weigong's side, but Li Weigong was more numerous, and he was not afraid of attrition.
However, although the Japanese occupy the advantage of the exchange ratio, they cannot afford it. Once the most elite samurai in front of you are exhausted, your side is finished. And the other party may have a steady stream of supplements. Even if it doesn't have the sharpness of today's troops, how much better can the samurai on his side be than the other party after they die?
The leader of the pirates hesitated, frightened. I regret that I shouldn't have stayed under Jinling City for a long time, and if I missed a blow and escaped thousands of miles, I wouldn't have met the hard bones of the other party.
The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and both sides of the war had entered a hysterical red-eyed state. There was no longer a military formation to speak of, and neither side nor the enemy had time to be put in order. The Japanese are accustomed to fighting, and the soldiers on Li Weigong's side are just putting on a show on weekdays.
But the tragedy is even worse than the battle array.
"This, this makes my army of the Great Ming?" On the city wall, the gentry and people of Jinling, who were still nervous and worried, couldn't believe the scene in front of them.
The original Japanese were rumored to be almost invulnerable, but now they are fighting with the guards outside the city in a sea of corpses and blood, evenly matched.
Although I have to say that this army outside the city is indeed remarkable, the difference will not be so big!
Countless people looked at the officials of the various ministries above the city tower with suspicion, especially those military generals with armor on their hats!
"In the final analysis, the generals are still incompetent, they will only drink the blood of the soldiers and take the lead in escaping. As generals, they all ran away, how could the soldiers be desperate? "Of course, there are discerning people among the common people.
After someone broke the word, this evaluation immediately spread among the crowd, causing everyone to discuss, and all kinds of rumors and gossip heard were more like explosions, causing countless people to be "amazed".
It turns out that it's not that the soldiers are incompetent, but that the generals can't do it, and there is a nest of bears!
But the generals are also wronged! This is all caused by the civil officials withholding money and food, how can they be blamed.
The military officials and a group of generals above the city tower did not look very good.
Thousands of people pointed out, and died without a problem. In the past, it could be said that the Japanese were fierce and the soldiers were unbearable. But now everything outside the city is a living slap in the face.
The Japanese are ferocious and aggressive, and they may dare to fight, but generally speaking, they are facing the bean dregs army who are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and now they see that the most courageous guys on weekdays are killed on the spot one by one, and it is too strange to say that the rest of the Japanese have no fear.
Of course, the Ming army also had it, but there was the temptation of the land in the front, and the general supervised the battle in the back, at least this Ming army was barely able to carry it down.
On the battlefield, it was a process of eliminating the strengths of one and the other, and the Japanese saw that the Ming army was not easy to deal with, and their morale naturally fell due to heavy casualties.
From the very beginning of the battle, Li Weigong stared at the no changes on the battlefield, and whispered from time to time that Zhu Zaikai explained one or two.
"Zai Kai, protect yourself, it's time for us to act" Li Weigong looked at the situation in front of him and said suddenly.
"Raise the flag and charge with the general!" Li Weigong shouted loudly, a huge and bright red flag was raised high, Li Weigong pointed forward with his sword, and slowly accelerated with his own guards, cutting directly from the middle of the battlefield, and then rushed straight to the Japanese army without stopping.
Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. On the battlefield, the most morale-boosting thing for your side is nothing more than to capture the flag. If it is said that Li Weigong still used regular soldiers just now, now he himself is taking the lead, and he is directly inserting into the base camp of our army with his henchmen and a small number of cavalry, which is a trick to win by surprise soldiers.
Before the Song Dynasty, this was almost a skill that every military general had to click. But after the Song Dynasty, the cavalry was missing, and the generals were no longer brave. The picture of the commander himself taking the lead in the charge and making the final decision almost disappeared from the Central Plains.
It's a big gamble, and if you don't win, you die. There are a few of today's Ming generals who have this courage.
The few generals who were able to take the lead in the charge were all reckless men who did not know how to observe the battlefield situation at all, and they were often prone to be beheaded successfully, resulting in the collapse of the whole army.
The horses' hooves are bursting, like soup pouring snow. The soldiers of the Ming army saw the banner fluttering in the wind, and saw their generals taking the lead in the charge. What are they afraid of?
The morale of the Ming army rose suddenly, and the Japanese were immediately swept back.
The defeat is like a mountain, and this is simply not something that can be saved by an individual. Fleeing on the battlefield, as long as it starts, will not stop. In contrast, who would be willing to trade their lives for the survival of their comrades. Naturally, it's just a matter of who can run faster depending on their ability.
The Warlords of the Wako were no longer able to kill the fleeing crowd.
"General, let's go! The army of the Ming Dynasty rushed towards us. A leader of the pirates ran to the leader of the pirates covered in blood, and hurriedly said.
The leader of the Japanese invaders came back to his senses from the sudden change on the battlefield and smiled bitterly: "Escape? Where can we escape? ”
"Yangzhou, we still have an army in Yangzhou, and we still have the capital to make a comeback!" The leader of the pirates replied.
The leader of the pirates didn't say a word, just stared at each other coldly. The leader of the pirates suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, and although he still insisted on not daring to take half a step back, his head was already sweating.
"Take your warriors and go from the east! I stayed after the break. Someone must apologize for the defeat, and this sinner is not you, but me! The leader of the pirates sighed. He drew the katana in his hand and rushed to the battlefield without looking back with his samurai troops.
Handsome to handsome, king to king. Li Weigong looked at this leader who had the courage to think that he would be greeted head-on in the face of adversity.
But the battlefield is the battlefield, and there is no room for hesitation. Li Weigong took the lead and led his family to sweep straight towards the leader of the Japanese Bandits.
On the battlefield, it is better to have a horse than not to have a horse, and it is better to have more helpers than not to have helpers. In the school competition, maybe the leader of the Japanese is really stronger than Li Weigong, after all, Li Weigong has never been Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong, the kind of fierce general who can take the head of the general among the ten thousand troops. But the result of this handsome vs. handsome battle has been decided since Li Weigong personally led the team to charge.
The roaring cheers on the city wall resounded through the heavens and the earth. Li Weigong raised the head of the leader of the Japanese with the tip of his sword.
The Japanese were really frightened now, and the few who were still resisting were also frightened and began to join the fleeing army.
Now that the victory and defeat have been divided, all that remains is to chase the dead to the north and round up the scattered Japanese robbers.
The gate of Jinling City suddenly opened, and countless cavalry suddenly poured out.
The crowd on the city wall that was still cheering just now was stunned for a moment, and the cheers suddenly became much quieter. But after realizing it, there was not even the last bit of cheer.
A farce was staged vividly, in front of thousands of Jinling people, thousands of cavalry bravely pounced on the fleeing Japanese invaders, and the envoy of the military department also appeared on the battlefield with the order to stand by on the spot.
There are countless officials in Jinling who need this credit to shirk the responsibility for the death of the gentry and the common people, and countless military attaches on the city wall need this credit to increase their weight for their promotion and wealth.
The reason of the government is that Li Weigong, who has just been witnessed by countless people, ordered the killing of the gentry and the common people, and needs to give an explanation to the imperial court.
A good reason, whether Li Weigong and his soldiers believe it or not, as long as the officials in Nanjing and Beijing believe it and believe it.
"You dare!" Just defeated the Japanese Kou desperately, and the red-eyed soldiers are not so easy to speak. A group of blood-stained robes and blood-stained soldiers glared angrily at the envoys of the military headquarters.
I didn't see it when I fought the Japanese Bandits, and when I saw that the Japanese Bandits were defeated, they immediately came out to grab the merit.
Of course, the soldiers under the command of Li Weigong did not do anything, and they gave up one after another and did not chase the Japanese and began to gather automatically, surrounding the officials sent by the military department, and their blood-red eyes seemed to be about to choose people to eat.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" The envoy from the military department was just a six-grade petty official, and when everyone knew that this errand would not be good, he was the only one who would be so unlucky and was ordered by Lord Shilang.
This is not a good thing, and it is really wronged to be killed on the spot by these ignorant soldiers.
"The merits of adults are obvious to all, and no one can erase them in vain. It's just that there is an order from above, hoping that the adults will go to the city and explain one or two. Don't embarrass your subordinates! ”
When did the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty become so polite?
Li Weigong smiled bitterly, he really saw the difference between Daming and Datang. After a sigh, he decided to plant a pot for Jinling.
A big pot!
When did he, Li Weigong, suffer such a big grievance from civil officials. Anyway, the deadline is coming soon, so what about a day or two earlier?
Li Weigong first strictly ordered the soldiers to return to the camp for repairs, and promised that his promise would be fulfilled. But he only brought a few guards to the city with the envoys of the army.
"Zai Kai, farewell today, there will be no date in the future. In the future, remember to be a good emperor, you can't be worse than the old man's majesty!" Li Weigong did not take Zhu Zaikai with him, but quietly said something inexplicable to him, and then left.
"Zai Kai, it's time to come back!" Above the clouds, he watched a good show, and waved his sleeves. Zhu Zaikai immediately disappeared magically in the crowd, but no one noticed it. At the same time, Zhu Zaikai's name on the roster of Li Weigong's army was also erased.
Of course, it is not only the names on the roster that have been erased, but also the memories of many soldiers. It's like Zhu Zaikai has never appeared in the barracks.
"Master!" Zhu Zaikai changed back to the appearance of a child, and screamed very indignantly, and Lichen smiled, ignoring Zhu Zaikai's little temper!
"Li Weigong is leaving, you can send your teacher well!" Lichen suddenly sighed and said.
Zhu Zaikai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked down from the clouds.
Zhu Zaikai happened to see Li Weigong spitting blood from his mouth, and at the moment when he fell off the horse under the gaze of tens of millions of people.
"Ahh Zhu Zaikai covered his little mouth.
"Ahh Up and down the city wall, inside and outside Jinling, there was a cry of surprise, like a thunderclap, which instantly broke the dreams of countless civil officials and military generals in Jinling. (To be continued.) )
