Chapter 298: Taking the Initiative (1)

Yu Qian and Shi Heng both stood on the spot when they heard the news, and their faces were full of incredulity, as if they were dreaming.

Just now, Yu Qian was still discussing with Shi Heng whether to find a way to transfer troops and horses to support Liu Juntao's department, or the two of them led several large armies outside Desheng's gate to move closer to Liu Juntao's department.

In the hearts of Qian and Shi Heng, even if Liu Juntao's troops and horses are elite, with only 28,000 infantry, they can't resist 30,000 Wala's iron cavalry, such a battle can't be fought, and it is only a matter of time before Liu Juntao's troops are defeated!

Therefore, although Yu Qian and Shi Heng gave Liu Juntao the order to fight to the death, they were always entangled in their hearts, and when they were waiting for the specific battle report, they could be said to be living like a year.

At this time, Yu Qian and Shi Heng heard that Liu Juntao actually led his troops to defeat the 30,000 Warat army, such news was really a huge surprise!

Yu Qian said loudly: "Right Governor! What a victory! ”

Shi Heng also seemed to be drunk, and said with a laugh: "Lord Yu! Let's hurry up and report to Your Majesty! It is also good to boost the morale of the soldiers of the whole army! ”

Yu Qian couldn't help nodding again and again, and on the one hand, he sent a soldier back to Beijing to report the victory, and said to Shi Heng: "Shi Dudu, I think we have to rush to General Liu Shen as soon as possible to verify the results of the army, so as to record the merits of the soldiers!" ”

Shi Heng naturally would not object, so the two of them rushed to Liu Juntao's army under the protection of a team of Ming army iron cavalry.

At this time, Liu Juntao's soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and the battlefield was full of corpses of Wara soldiers and horses, and the blood had already stained the land red, and the strong smell of blood and gunpowder filled the period, which made people want to vomit when they smelled it.

But when Yu Qian and Shi Heng smelled it, they were as if they had smelled old wine, and they were fascinated.

The two rode horses on the battlefield under the protection of the Ming army's iron cavalry, and soon came to the temporary camp of Liu Juntao's department. ”

Liu Juntao looked at Yu Qian and Shi Heng's appearances, and sighed in his heart: "After the defeat of Tumubao, Daming needs a victory too much!" ”

So, Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said: "Qi Yu Bingxian, right governor!" The heads of more than 14,000 Tartars beheaded by our army have all been stored in the north of the camp, and are being loaded and counted, ready to be sent to the capital for future reference! ”

Yu Qian laughed when he heard this, and said, "Quick! Take me and Shi Dudu to see it! ”

At this time, Yu Qian had no doubt about Liu Juntao's results, but he was eager to take a look, so as to boost morale.

And Shi Heng has some ideas, although he is sure that Liu Juntao won the battle, but in Shi Heng's opinion, this more than 14,000-level gain must have a lot of water.

Under the leadership of Liu Juntao, the two came to the north side of the camp, only to see that the heads of more than 14,000 Warat soldiers had been piled up, and they looked magnificent from a distance.

Shi Heng smiled and hugged his fists at Yu Qian and Liu Juntao, and then waved his hand, and several soldiers behind him stepped forward to check.

"The top of the hair is bald, it's not a new shaving, it's a real tartar head!"

"The first-level mouth is worn and clear, and the face does not look like the Han family, it is a real Tartar head!"

I saw that the soldiers had inspected more than 20 heads in a row, all of them were genuine Tartar heads, Shi Heng was a little embarrassed, so he ordered someone to bring a bucket of water, and then personally stepped forward to check the three heads, and threw them in the bucket one by one.

I saw that these three heads were all face up without exception, and a soldier next to him sang loudly: "The head is face up, the hair beard is clear, it is the real Tartar head!" ”

Yu Qian and Liu Juntao, who were on the side, saw Shi Heng acting like this, and they were all dissatisfied in their hearts, and they both frowned slightly.

Yu Qian was worried that Liu Juntao would have a seizure on the spot, so he said with a smile; "Shi Dudu is strict in his work, and Jun Tao will know it after getting along for a long time."

Liu Juntao smiled and didn't speak, but he wrote it down in his heart: "This Shi Heng was not bad when he first met, he thought he was a person who did big things, but he didn't expect it to be such a jealous and capable guy!" Aren't you just worried that if I make a great achievement, I will suppress him! ”

However, Liu Juntao didn't have any expression on the surface, just looked at Shi Heng, who was a little disappointed, and then hugged his fists and said, "Dudu!" Our department has found out that it is not collected at night, and the Warat Taishi is also first, and the Great Khan has already led the army to kill, and it will arrive in the capital in a few days, and more than 200,000 Tartars will gather in the Beijing Division, even if there is a great victory in our department, I am afraid that the military and civilian people inside and outside the capital will also be panicked! ”

Shi Heng glanced at Yu Qian, and then said, "Then according to General Liu's meaning, what should I do?" ”

"Our army should take advantage of this great victory to take the initiative to attack and once again frustrate the enemy's spirit! In this way, the Tartar army will be in turmoil, and the morale of our army will be greatly boosted, and this battle can also be won a great victory! ”

Shi Henggang was indeed happy when he heard that Liu Juntao led his troops to defeat the enemy army and won a complete victory, but then he began to worry that his position was not guaranteed, after all, in the case of the complete collapse of the Ming army, Liu Juntao's victory was too dazzling!

That's why Shi Heng wanted to make some fuss about winning the head, so as to kill Liu Juntao's majesty, who knew that the more than 14,000 Tartar heads in Liu Juntao's camp were all genuine, and Shi Heng could be regarded as a nose of ashes!

At this time, Liu Juntao proposed to take the initiative, Shi Heng sneered, and said to Qian: "I don't know what Lord Yu thinks about this?" ”

Yu Qian looked at Shi Heng and Liu Juntao with some embarrassment, and then said: "This time the Tartars are newly defeated and their morale is low, it is indeed a good time for the national dynasty to counterattack in a big way!" However, it is not a good kind to be a good one, and most of them will be careful this time, and besides, our army does not have extra troops to attack. So in my opinion, our army still holds the capital as the top! ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Heng laughed and said; "What Lord Yu said is extremely true! General Liu, I think this discussion should be put aside for the time being, otherwise where will Lord Yu and I go to mobilize the troops and horses to attack? There are fewer soldiers and horses to attack, and there are more soldiers and horses to attack, so what kind of mistake must there be, will Beijing City be defended? Therefore, General Liu still guards this chapter of the ceremony! ”

Liu Juntao looked at Shi Heng and couldn't help sneering in his heart, and then said: "Bingxian, Right Governor!" The last general knows that our army is insufficient, but if our army sits and waits for the Tartars to kill, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no turmoil among the millions of people in the city. Therefore, the last general thinks that the best way is to take the initiative to attack and extinguish the arrogance of the Tartars, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city can unite as one! ”

"Soldiers!"

Shi Heng frowned slightly, and said loudly, "Where are I and Master Yu going to transfer troops?" What if this initiative fails! ”

Yu Qian saw that Shi Heng and Liu Juntao were fighting each other, so he wanted to make a peace, after all, the enemy is current, if the generals are not in harmony, there will be a big mess!

But it didn't mean that Qian opened his mouth to speak, and he saw Liu Juntao clasping his fists and said: "The last general is willing to lead the army to take the initiative in the iron cavalry!" If this battle is won, it will naturally be due to the proper command and careful planning of the military constitution and the right governor; If this battle is defeated, it will be because I, Liu Juntao, am greedy and reckless, and I will reap the consequences! ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he immediately said: "General Liu Shen has to think about it, once this battle is lost, the imperial court will definitely blame you, and I am afraid that even the credit of the first battle of Zhang Yimen will be erased!" ”

Yu Qian couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard this, so he said: "Shi Dudu, this is a bit heavy!" ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he said: "The dynasty is already in danger, and I can't help but need to re-enact!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Qian said loudly: "Since this is the case, then let Shi Dudu be in charge!" ”

After speaking, Yu Qian led people away, and Liu Juntao hurriedly ordered Zhang Xiaojun beside him to send him off.

At this time, Shi Heng said, "General Liu, have you thought about it?" ”

Liu Juntao sneered and said, "It's decided!" ”
