Chapter 121: I Really Burst into Tears
"Oh oh oh!" ……
The color is slightly shining, and when the rooster announces the dawn, the three parties of the capital, the southeast camp, the northwest camp, and the southwest camp, are already full of people
"Click!"
"Click! Click! ”……
Amid the clashing sound of countless armor pieces, countless soldiers in black clothes and black armor began to run, running towards the camp yard.
They were in good order, and after only a stick of incense had passed, they had already completed the formation of the army.
Li Dingguo and Zhu Youxiao, standing on the high platform on the side of the big school field, straightened up in full armor, and quietly looked at the phalanxes below.
The two glanced at each other, and Zhu Youxiao immediately nodded towards Li Dingguo.
On this expedition, he still followed Li Dingguo's Seven Killing Legion.
It is mainly Li Dingguo's Seven Killing Legion, and this time the task is the heaviest.
Li Dingguo was in charge of the entire Xuanfu area, which not only had several important military towns, but also had many passes on the Great Wall.
Especially Zhangjiakou.
It has now become the largest distribution center for border trade in the Ming Empire, and almost all the big merchants involved in border trade have built warehouses here and hoarded materials and money and grain.
After reading a lot of information from the Royal Military Intelligence Bureau, Zhu Youxiao roughly estimated that the money, grain, and materials hoarded in Zhangjiakou were estimated to account for more than 30% of Shanxi and Xuanfu.
It is conceivable that this Zhangjiakou has gathered such a huge amount of materials and money!
As far as Zhu Youxiao guessed, just by sweeping all the Xuanfu in one place, the money, food and materials obtained should be able to reach about half of the money obtained from the seizure of the capital before himself!
That's a lot of money, and it's thrilling just to think about.
And in the original history of Zhangjiakou, sitting on so much money, food and materials, until the fall of the Ming Empire, it was not robbed by any Tartars!
It sounds incredible, but it's true.
There is no doubt that this is Huang Taiji and Dolgon, who are giving face and favor to these border trade merchants led by Jin merchants.
Otherwise, the entire pass along the Great Wall has basically been cleaned by Tartar more than once, why would such a big piece of fat in Zhangjiakou be spared?
This Zhangjiakou is the absolute neutrality of the Tartars and those border trade merchants.
Since it is an absolutely safe and neutral material distribution center, many big merchants and officials who participated in the border trade of the Ming Empire were extremely relieved and concentrated a large amount of money, grain and materials in this Zhangjiakou.
In this way, it is not surprising that there is a wealth of the number in the intelligence show.
This time the Seven Killings Legion went out, Zhu Youxiao, as always, was still under the full command of Li Dingguo.
"Let's go!"
Li Dingguo was not verbose at all, seeing that all the soldiers had arrived, plus the 10,000 logistics troops, he was ready to set off last night.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, I didn't find anything missing, so I immediately gave the order to go.
The first to start the operation was still the Scout Brigade.
In today's scout brigade, in every division, there is a battalion-sized reconnaissance battalion with 300 soldiers, all of whom are equipped with one man and two horses.
They are the most well-armed.
Repeaters, short guns, grappling hooks, ropes...... And so on, all of them.
This time, the division responsible for staying in the northwest camp was the 103rd division of the Seven Killing Corps.
They are now all standing on the edge of the big school field, watching the 101st Division and the 102nd Division go on the march, with a depressed face.
There is no way, who made their division commanders, so lucky?
This is determined by a lottery and is very fair.
However, the next time they go on an expedition, there will only be two divisions that are now on the expedition to draw lots to decide who will stay.
And on the third expedition, it will be the turn of the division that fought in the first two battles to stay in the base camp and will not draw lots again.
Repeatedly, it is nothing more than the problem of three divisions and regiments, which have stayed in the base camp one after another.
This is the rotation battle tactic proposed by Zhu Youxiao.
Now I started the school from the Guards Scouts
Soon after, it will be rolled out to all legions.
The practice of the tactics of rotational warfare is undoubtedly of great benefit.
It not only ensures the defense of the capital, but also allows every corps of the Guards to get the experience of war, continue to ensure combat effectiveness, and can also take turns to rest and replenish battle losses.
Scouts are the most heavily tasked with scouting, guiding the way, killing or capturing enemy scouts, and so on.
If you are not an elite soldier, you can't be a scout at all.
Of course, the salary of scouts is also one level higher than that of officers and men of the same level, and their welfare is also one level better.
They deserve it, they all paid for it with their lives.
When the color had just brightened, the 101st Division and the 102nd Division of the Seven Killing Corps had already passed Yuquan Mountain.
Here, the two divisions were split in two.
The 101st Division went straight to the town border.
Then go out of the inner Great Wall and sweep Baoan Prefecture and Yanqing Right Guard in advance.
After the two places are cleaned and confiscated, they will be inserted directly into Zhangjiakou!
The task along the way was relatively heavy, so Li Dingguo personally led the 101st Division to take charge.
The 102nd Division marched towards Juyong Pass, went out of the Inner Great Wall, and swept Yanqing Prefecture in advance.
After clearing and confiscating all the places such as Yanqingwei and Yanqing Zuowei, they captured Chang'an, then turned to the right and swept all the way along the various passes and large fortresses of the Outer Great Wall.
Finally, he joined the 101st Division led by Li Dingguo in Zhangjiakou.
This 102nd division is the only female division among the Seven Killing Legions.
These 30,000 female soldiers, led by Rao Min, the deputy commander of the Seven Killings Legion, and Peng Ying, the division commander, are responsible for all combat matters along the way.
Don't look at them just because the 102nd Division is an all-female division.
Among them, there was a 10,000-strong English longbow team, a 3,000-rao new-style double-barreled musket team, a 2,000-rao artillery battalion, a 10,000-rao crossbow brigade, and a 5,000-rao strong bow team.
If the entire division and regiment were to strike together, no enemy would be able to withstand it except for the other eight divisions of the Guards!
Including Lu Xiangsheng and the fifteen divisions of his five major field corps.
Even in the Seven Killings Legion, this women's division, as well as the other two male divisions, had their own victories and defeats in the exercise.
In each division of this Guard, there are still five +3 super cannons!
Coupled with the thirty new Franc rapid-fire guns necessary for each artillery battalion, it is enough to defeat the vast majority of the enemies of this era, doubting life.
That is, the flowering shells of the Royal Military Equipment Department today are still not produced in high quantities, and a lot of stocks must be left.
Otherwise, if these cannons are released to bombard the enemy, they will really destroy most of the enemy in one round.
At the foot of Yuquan Mountain, on the super official road in the west, Li Dingguo and Rao Min, two army commanders, began to say goodbye to each other.
At the fork in the road here, the two divisions are about to go their separate ways.
Li Dingguo looked at the bitter face of Deputy Commander Rao Min and secretly snickered.
There was no way not to laugh, but he endured it desperately, trying not to let himself laugh out loud.
As for why at this time, Li Dingguo, who has always been extremely calm, would be so out of shape?
Well, just look at the 102nd Division with Deputy Commander Rao Min: the entire 102nd Division is all female soldiers, including the division commander Peng Ying.
And now there is only one boy with an army of 30,000 along the way, Rao Min, the deputy commander of the legion!
However, along the way of the female division, there must be a corps commander to suppress the formation!
Li Dingguo naturally wouldn't go, because his task along the way was too heavy, and he had to personally command the school
Then, Deputy Commander Rao Min is the only candidate.
You just don't want to follow the 102nd Division!
This, where is the wolf still into the flock?
It's a veritable little green among the flowers!
This kind of equipment?
1:?
Simply so!
After a while, Deputy Commander Rao Min, who hid his face and ran away in tears, buried his head and rode his horse wildly, and disappeared without a trace after a while!
Li Dingguo, who was left in place, burst into laughter while holding his belly!
Soon, even the soldiers of the entire 101st Division couldn't hold back anymore, and they kept laughing one by one......
This...... There's really no one left.
Zhu Youxiao, who was on the side, saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking so.
