Chapter 6 Luring the Enemy Deeper
Chapter 6 lures the enemy deeper
Towards evening, the battlefield on the banks of the Yalu River, which had been noisy for a day, finally calmed down, accompanied by the bitter cold wind, the exhausted Dingliao avant-garde soldiers could not rest early, and after getting Li Chengliang's order, they began to drag their tired bodies and began to clean up the battlefield.
"Yes, a total of more than 6,300 enemies were annihilated, more than 1,000 people were captured, and more than 1,300 of our soldiers were killed in battle, including more than 500 soldiers killed in the Dingliao avant-garde!" Holding the summarized data, Shi Ru said expressionlessly, but there was a faint pain in his heart, the Dingliao avant-garde was so seriously injured.
"Good!" Li Chengliang raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but stand up, and killed and injured more than 7,000 people on the other side at the cost of 1,300 people, but it was a rare victory: "Come on, immediately draft a good telegram and send it to the capital, just say that my Liaodong Town killed more than 10,000 enemies on the first day of crossing the river, and the casualties were only more than 500 soldiers!" ”
Hearing this, Shi Ru not only didn't speak, but didn't even have a surprised expression, this is not the first time Li Chengliang has done this kind of thing, he did this not only to fake his military exploits, but more to make up for the soldiers by himself, so that it is impossible for the imperial court to take the opportunity to install people.
"How many brothers have been killed or wounded today!" Several people were crowded in a small military tent, and Brother Erdan, who was sitting firmly in the center, frowned and asked, although he was killed happily today, there were many brothers killed in the battle, and even the captain of Jinyi who came with him lost as many as five people, and the rest were still wounded, and a few couldn't move at all.
"My lord, in today's battle, I killed more than 500 brothers and wounded more than 1,000 in the Liao Qianwei, and suffered heavy losses!" A thousand households said dejectedly.
He had already heard about the casualties of the army today, and the casualties of our Dingliao avant-garde accounted for as much as half, which was really a bit too miserable.
Seeing that the few thousands of households under his command were all depressed, Brother Erdan had no choice but to smile and say, "I said everyone, what does this drooping face look like." Although the casualties of our avant-garde men and horses this time are the heaviest, but think about it, how many widows and merry little hooligans have been killed and injured by our avant-garde men and horses today! Other people's own officials don't know very well, but the official himself killed more than 20 people, and there must be a lot of adults! This is a good thing with a long face, and whoever talks about us in the future will have to give us a thumbs up! ”
Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Brother Erdan, who was experienced in dealing with such a situation, once again took out the set that Shen Chongming often used: "Okay! Of course, the soldiers will not ignore the sacrifice of the court for the country, and as soon as the war is over, the court's pension will arrive! ”
"But my lord...... Alas! Don't say it! A thousand households wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's the matter, if you have something to say, talk about it quickly, let it go quickly, why are the big men so spitting!" Brother Erdan frowned and said, these Qianhu under the command of today's battle are doing well, Brother Erdan's person has no other merits, he is a person who likes to do errands seriously like Shen Chongming, and for this reason, he has no scruples about talking to these Qianhu.
As the saying goes, although knowing people know their faces but not their hearts, many times their impression of a person depends on a moment's cognition, Brother Erdan is a real man who is not informal, this is the first impression of these thousands of households on him.
"My lord, then the general can say, no matter whether it is right or wrong, I hope that your lord will keep the secret for the general, and you must not let General Li know!" After listening for a long time, a Qianhu finally stood up with a somewhat serious expression, and deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.
As soon as he heard Li Chengliang's name, Brother Erdan had a little bit of a plan in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Hehe, Lord Ben has also been in the capital for a while, and the truth that this law is not passed on to six ears is still known!" ”
"My lord, the soldiers' casualties and pensions will not be able to be obtained at all, not to mention whether Li Chengliang will conceal the casualties and lie about his military exploits, even if the Ministry of War really allocates this pension silver taels, in the end it will all fall into the hands of Li Chengliang, and the brothers below will not get a penny!" The thousand households gritted their teeth and said, their faces full of resentment, which showed how disgusted they were for Li Chengliang.
"He dares to be greedy for this kind of silver!" Brother Erdan couldn't help but be stunned, I had heard of the embezzlement of military salaries, but few people dared to move the bereavement of the fallen soldiers, you must know that this is not only a matter that damages yin morality, but also a thing that will cause anger and resentment, throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, but there are many greedy generals who have lost their lives on this article, and they are often dead without corpses, and they are cut into pulp by angry soldiers alive.
"My lord, if you weren't an official from the capital, you wouldn't dare to say this, I won't tell you, although this Liaodong is the world of the imperial court, but the real master of the house is Deputy General Soldier Li, and even the Chief Soldier has already been set up by him, and we Dingliao avant-garde, the previous commander is Lord Shi Rushi, he and you are generally transferred here from other places, but that was eight years ago, but since then, in this Liaodong Town, our Dingliao avant-garde has become a stepmother, not to mention the shortage of food and grass on weekdays, Even the money is the lowest! As he spoke, several Qianhu lowered their heads helplessly.
The life of the Dingliao avant-garde is not good, and their generals are not going anywhere, the top has to support Shi Ru to deal with Li Chengliang's various difficulties, but the bottom has to appease the emotions of the soldiers.
"Hmph, he's so bold!" Brother Erdan snorted angrily, and then sneered: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu does what he says, this time we will not only pay a penny less than a penny of silver, but also double it!" ”
Seeing Brother Erdan's arrogant face, several thousands of households couldn't help but look at each other.
The look on the faces of these people could naturally understand what it meant, and he smiled and said: "I won't hide it from you, Lord Ben is in the capital but he is following Lord Shen Chongming Shen on an errand, don't say that this fallen soldier has double the pension, even if it is three times or ten times, it is just a matter of Lord Shen's words!" ”
"Ahh Lord Shen! Hearing this name, the generals couldn't help but be shocked, maybe these generals didn't know what the names of several ministers in the Beijing cabinet fell to the ground, but they were thunderous about Shen Chongming's name, not because he had the nickname of the God of Wealth, but because he had a famous contract for me in World War I on the grassland at the beginning of the year.
Not only has the front line of Datong Xuanfu been under his iron heel for decades, but even the land of Liaodong has not been spared, and the reason why the imperial court and Duoyan Sanwei have been able to maintain a relationship for decades without breaking down, except for Li Chengliang, the middleman, another factor is that only the two sides can resist the alliance, and no one is the opponent of the Mongol Tartars.
And Shen Chongming killed me in just one battle There is not much left of the 50,000 army, and he almost captured me alive, this feat, but since it has never been, just by virtue of this, the soldiers of the Dingliao avant-garde worshipped Shen Chongming as a god.
Looking at them like this, Brother Erdan couldn't help but smile proudly: "Of course, from now on, we will be no more avant-garde than before, as long as you follow the official to serve the court well, it is not a problem to add an official to the knight!" ”
These words made several thousands of households not calm, and they nodded their heads again and again with excitement, and they were on the big tree of Lord Shen, so they don't have to worry about their future careers, and they are guaranteed to be unimpeded all the way: "Thank you, my lord, but if you have a life, you will not give up!" Even blowing and flickering, Brother Erdan put away the Dingliao avant-garde who had never had a backbone.
Huangcaoling, starting to retreat from the east bank of the Yalu River, Miyamoto Ichiro with 20,000 troops has never stopped, abandoning Jiangjie, an important town in northern Korea, not to mention, but also directly crossed the Hanxue Ridge and directly entered the Huangcaoling before stopping.
"Where is the Ming army!" As soon as the encampment was completed, Miyamoto Ichiro summoned his subordinates to discuss military affairs.
"Your Excellency General, according to the report sent by the samurai who lurked down to investigate the enemy's situation two days ago, the Ming army should have entered Jiangjie City by now, if they are faster, they will be able to enter the Cold Snow Ridge tomorrow at most!" One of his generals said.
"Your Excellency, why do we want to give up Jiangjie? Even if you give up the river boundary, you should rely on the dangerous terrain of the Cold Snow Ridge to defend, instead of blindly running for your life like this, which is a shame for the samurai! The other general gritted his teeth and looked at Miyamoto Ichiro and said, as if Miyamoto Ichiro was his enemy.
Miyamoto Ichiro was not angry, but laughed and said: "Yamamoto-kun, your samurai spirit Miyamoto admires very much, but this is a war, not a contest between samurai, I hope you can put down your pride and obey Miyamoto's arrangement!" ”
Miyamoto spoke like this, but he gave Sanben enough face, and immediately made most of his resentment dissipate: "Your Excellency General, please forgive Sanben's recklessness, but?" Let the samurai retreat without a fight, I'm afraid it's bad for morale! ”
"Hehehe, you can rest assured of this, since you are now in Huangcaoling, then Miyamoto will tell you about his plan, and please give me advice!" As he spoke, Ichiro Miyamoto ordered someone to get a picture of the terrain that could be regarded as a mess.
"Ladies and gentlemen, look here, after leaving Jiangjie City, you can enter the Cold Snow Ridge in half a day's journey, and the Cold Snow Ridge and the Yellow Grass Ridge. Although they are two different mountains, the distance between the two is mountainous for more than 200 miles. Although the terrain is not dangerous, it is also very difficult to walk! Pointing to the fact that others don't know how to sketch a terrain map, Miyamoto Ichiro analyzed with a smug face.
Fortunately, everyone present on this road has walked through, and after a little reflection, they have a general impression, so everyone nodded their heads to show understanding.
"And what we have to do now is to lure the enemy deeper, lure the Ming army to Huangcaoling, and defeat them all!" As he spoke, Ichiro Miyamoto shook his fist with arrogance and knocked on the terrain map in front of him.
"But Your Excellency General, since we want to use the terrain to defeat the Ming army, why don't we attack Hanxue Ridge again?" Hearing him say this, one of the generals couldn't help but raise doubts.
