Chapter 569: Cannon Fodder for Cover
Chapter 569 Cannon fodder for cover
As for the remaining wounded soldiers, they will have to resign themselves to fate!
"Brothers, don't blame me for being ruthless ...... old Cui"
When the military order was secretly given, Cui Duyan was still a little guilty.
These people are all comrades and siblings brought out by their hometown in Shanxi, and there are several of them who are confidants and officers who have followed him for many years.
But now, he doesn't care much about it.
He knew very well that once the fire started, it was impossible for the thieves outside the city to be unresponsive, in case they were bitten by them on the way to retreat, and they didn't know how much they could escape, so they couldn't run away with these burdens, right?
However, I never expected that this gang of thieves would take the lead!
Looking at the continuous firelight in the west and listening to the continuous explosions, Cui Duyan knew that this was a big trouble!
Before the war officially started, it seemed that a small half of the people were going to be folded in first, where is this broken tail to survive, it is clearly half of the body!
"It's over! Finished! My two battalions! β
He couldn't help but pause and sigh, "Run! Even if you run out of a few of them! β
Suddenly, he woke up.
He found that outside the large camp under the city, a group of routs had appeared, shouting and banging on the camp gate, and behind them, one after another rout soldiers were emerging from the darkness.
Listen carefully, the intermittent gunfire seems to be getting closer and closer......
He was a spirit, and suddenly realized that the situation could get out of control soon!
He couldn't care about whether to set fire or not, and decided to run for his life immediately, and he couldn't hesitate for a moment.
At that moment, he couldn't care about returning to the enemy building, so he beckoned, and immediately called two henchmen and asked them to get helmets and cotton armor.
As he hurriedly dressed, he whispered, "Hurry! Go outside the city and send an order to Sun Qianhu, who is stationed in the camp, ......"
All his personal soldiers have followed him since Shanxi, and they have been born and died with him for many years, and no matter how confidential they are, they can be entrusted.
Immediately, the two men ran down from the castle tower.
"The current plan is to stabilize the position first,"
After getting dressed neatly, Cui Duyan thought to himself, "Otherwise, the military will be in turmoil immediately." β
Judging from the intensity of the gunshots, he judged that the number of thieves who were infiltrating was not large.
However, if you don't find someone to block it immediately, the main force of your descendants is likely to be too late to even withdraw from the camp, once it is sticky, when the thieves in the direction of Xicheng also come to meet, no one will want to run out, only to be slaughtered.
The few people left of him can't be bitten no matter what, and the only ones who take on the cover task are the rebels gathered outside the camp.
In the past, when he encountered this kind of rout that shook the morale of the army, he would definitely tie up a few of them and make an example of them.
However, now that the eyebrows are burning, let them be cannon fodder again, and they can always intercept the footsteps of the thieves......
He beckoned and summoned the officers around him.
"You, you, you, and you, go down immediately to contain the rebels and reorganize, and before I arrive to inspect them, I must tell them to guard the street entrances!"
He ordered a few guerrillas, pointed them at their noses and shouted, "If there are those who do not obey orders, kill!" β
"As soon as the thief appears, each team immediately engages, each in charge of its own affairs, and must kill the enemy in front of it,"
He pulled his throat and said, "Pass the order, and kill the thieves and reward each of them with three taels of silver!" Double the total above! β
After saying this, he beckoned a servant and ordered him to take someone to his treasury and bring out the chests containing silver.
Soon, several of the family members moved out three boxes.
"There are 1,600 taels of silver in the box, you should distribute it immediately, and you must stabilize the morale of the army!"
"Yes, my lord!"
These middle-ranking officers did not dare to disobey.
"Let's go!"
"Huh!"
The officers galloped away with their horses.
Cui Duyan looked at the box they were carrying, and he was a little reluctant in his heart.
Of the three boxes of silver, one thousand taels were just sent by the military gate last night, and the other six hundred taels were his own.
However, he knew that it was all up to this, and it would definitely not work without bleeding, and without the stimulation of real money, those rebels would have to slip away at least half......
"You guys, come with me to the camp at once,"
He gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted to the remaining generals and officers, "Perform their duties to stabilize the morale of the army, and organize the battalions to prepare for retreat!" β
"Huh!"
"I think everyone understands that this place is a Jedi! Move fast, or we won't be able to run for our lives! There is still a long way to go after leaving the city, and you must not let the thieves bite it! β
He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Don't think about slipping your feet, they are all grasshoppers on a rope, and if they lose order, everyone is dead." β
"Huh!"
"Go, follow me into the camp!"
Immediately, he lit a team of personal soldiers and led the generals to inspect the camp with torches.
β¦β¦
At this moment, the sound of explosions in the west of the city had already caused a commotion in the camp.
The low roar and the shaking of the earth made the soldiers in the camp suspicious, and they didn't know what the thief was doing in the middle of the night.
Most of them had learned how powerful the thieves were, and they knew that they had many powerful firearms, and everyone knew that once they were in close combat, even hiding in the camp would be useless.
As more and more soldiers gathered outside the camp gate, they became more and more afraid, and once the city was broken, I am afraid that everyone would not survive tonight......
Cui Duyan has led the troops for many years and has experience in how to pacify and suppress the soldiers, so the reason why he hurriedly took his own soldiers into the camp to inspect was that he was afraid that the army would lose his heart.
The focus of this is to deter those veterans who take advantage of the opportunity to make noise and shake the morale of the military.
He knew that these people were not good at fighting, but they were very skilled in making troubleβand in order to get away more easily, they would often incite other soldiers to run away with them.
He took the people to patrol all the way, and the soldiers were unsheathed with their swords out of their waists, and they were murderous one by one, which immediately shocked the wavering soldiers.
After a while, the generals of each battalion and team went down to control the team, and the soldiers soon began to pack up and prepare in a hurry......
Cui Duyan was a little relieved - it seemed that the mood of the team was quite stable, and it would not be long before they could quietly open through the back door.
However, he was not very relieved about the group of rebellious soldiers outside the camp - although this group of Zhejiang soldiers was ordinary and fierce, the military discipline was too poor, and the enemy was currently frightened, and he didn't know how much morale was left.
He groaned slightly, waved his hand, and led the soldiers out of the camp gate, and came to a street corner to watch.
I saw that not far ahead, a bunch of soldiers were crowded in the night, and someone was shouting at them to prepare for the enemy.
Cui Duyan slowly got closer, and saw that most of them were holding steel knives, and some of them were unarmed, and they were being ordered to pile some door panels, tables and chairs at the intersection indiscriminately.
In addition, there were a small number of archers and musketeers, climbing up to the roof one by one from several ladders that they had found out of nowhere......
