Chapter 317: Harassment Begins
On the other hand, on the side of Dalinghe City, the first battle was won, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and because the Houjin soldiers were determined not to attack the city, the officers and soldiers of the Liao army and Jingbian Fort were distracted and slept beautifully.
Raise your spirit, store your strength, and fight again in the future.
On the second day, the red sun dawned, and now it was in the eastern sky, and the weather was still fine today, with a light breeze and some heat, suitable for harassment.
Early in the morning, the Jingbian Fort Army sounded the call to get up.
At 6:15 a.m., the Jingbian Fort Army and the newly recruited new soldiers of the Liao Army got up separately, "one, two, three, four" kept shouting the trumpet, and first had a 3-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country run on the playground.
After this work is done, it is push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, and then special military training for each service.
The Liao army on duty at the head of the city saw that the Jingbian Fort army and the newly recruited soldiers were exercising again, and they were all extremely impressed.
Their Liao army is already the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, but it is only a three-day exercise, this Jingbian Fort army and their newly recruited soldiers are good, every day is a thunderous morning training for one and a half hours, and two hours in the afternoon, even when it rains, it is also a good practice, never slack.
How a strong army is made, there is no doubt that this is how it is refined.
The Jingbianbao army got up so early to train, and the movement was very big, and a group of Liao army generals also got up separately.
After Zu Dashou and other Liao army generals finished washing, they went straight to Liu Renyu to discuss the matter of actively fighting today.
But said that after Zu Dashou fell asleep yesterday, he always felt that his Liao army was also the elite of a hundred battles, and no matter what, he couldn't just watch Liu Renyu's men and horses dominate, so he decided that when Liu Renyu sent hot air balloons and chariot troops out to harass the Houjin army, he would also lead the troops to attack, after all, now the people are strong and the horses are strong, the food is sufficient, and the Houjin troops are very scattered, and it is a pity not to fight a dozen.
With such a thought in his heart, Zu Dashou told Liu Renyu his thoughts so that the two armies could coordinate and cooperate.
"General Liu, Jiannu is powerful, and it is difficult for our army to fight against the enemy, according to your assumption, our army should use the strategy of attacking and harassing to make it tired, and then wait for the opportunity to attack it. General Liu is going to battle today, right? Zu Dashou asked.
"However, the last general plans to send two hot air balloons today, respectively to the west and north of Jiannu's camp to go around, throw a few 10,000 enemies and come back, and go again in the afternoon, if the weather is good at night, the moon and stars are scarce, I plan to send them to Jiannu's head again, throw a few 10,000 enemies, so that they can't sleep well.
In addition, the last general also planned to send several groups of four-wheeled chariots, and every half an hour they would go out and fire a few shots at their camp, and then come back after the battle, and they would have no countermeasures left and right, and they would be angry with them. Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"General Liu's plan is clever, but the Jiannu in the west and north have been attacked and disturbed by you, and the east and south can't let them be idle. Jiannu's head dangled in front of us, and if we didn't cut it, it would be really itchy to do it. Zu Dashou said.
"Yes, our soldiers and horses are full, yesterday General Liu, you led the troops to a big victory, our army's morale is high, and the heart of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is particularly urgent, so the east and south are handed over to us." Zu Dabi smiled.
"It's okay, our army attacked from all sides and stirred up Jiannu to make the chickens and dogs restless." Liu Renyu also smiled.
"Okay, Zu Dabi, Zhang Cunren obeys orders." Zu Dashou ordered.
"The end will be." Zu Dabi and Zhang Cunren responded in unison.
"I order you to take 300 elite soldiers, wait for the opportunity to come out, and kill the people who built slaves, remember, this battle is just a harassment, kill a few of them and quickly retreat, do not fall in love with the war, if they come to chase, our army will send artillery from the city to attack them, and the city will also send soldiers to meet you. If they reach the city, our army will kill them all. Zu Dashou ordered.
"Yes, Marshal." Zhang Cunren and Zu Dabi agreed in unison.
"General Liu, how is the authentic thing you said earlier?" After Zu Dashou finished arranging military affairs, he asked Liu Renyu.
"If you go back to the big handsome, after the basic physical training is completed, the last general will send Li Qian to lead people to dig the tunnel." Liu Renyu replied.
"How far has Mr. Li Qian's tunnel been dug?" Zu Dashou asked casually.
"It's almost close to the Daling River." Liu Renyu replied.
"I've dug so much!" Zu Dashou was shocked.
The Jingbian Fort Army has been digging tunnels under his nose for so long, and he actually has no idea, which shows how strong the Jingbian Fort Army's sense of secrecy is when doing things.
"This is very good, when your army digs the tunnel to the east bank of the Daling River, our army can attack Jiannu's baggage troops without knowing it." Zu Dashou put aside the emotions in his heart and said with great emotion.
"What the marshal said is extremely true, the expedition of the Bilao division is most afraid that the grain and grass will not be available, as long as our army cuts off its grain route, the other army retreats, then the city of Dalinghe can be preserved, and the marshal can take the credit of recovering the territory of the Ming Dynasty in his pocket." Liu Renyu said with a smile.
"You also have a share of the credit." Zu Dashou also smiled.
"What the marshal said is extremely true, work together and make meritorious contributions together." Liu Renyu smiled.

"Have you heard of that? On that day, in the battle of Nancheng, the three beylers returned with a great defeat, and the imperial court won a great victory. Outside the city of Dalinghe, in the low bushes to the north, an Aha put away the woodcutter in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and then whispered to his companions.
"I've heard about it, I've heard about it, how many years have it been, and it's the first time I've heard that the soldiers of the imperial court don't use cannons, and they win the battle of the Dajin Kingdom." An Aha chimed in.
"This thing is strange enough, and what is even more strange is that the court used a new weapon, I don't know what the name is, I only heard that it can fly dozens of zhang high, and it can carry people on it." Another Aha said mysteriously.
"Really! If it flies in the sky and throws 10,000 enemies or something, the heavenly soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom are only afraid that they will either die or be injured, maybe it will fly out now, come to us, and give us a 10,000-strong enemy. An aha looked around and whispered worriedly.
"Don't talk nonsense, we are Han Chinese, and the court will not kill us." An Aha disbelieved.
"Don't be funny, you don't look at what we look like now, people are not people, ghosts are not ghosts, the soldiers of the court see us, and they don't kill us as slaves!" An Aha touched his pig's tail whip and said indignantly.
"Alas!" The dark color of the people darkened, and they were indescribably sad and melancholy.
shaved his hair, changed his clothes, and was still an inferior person in the Dajin Kingdom. This ghost look, if you want to go back to Daming, it will be difficult to be afraid, and it will inevitably be cut down by the officials and soldiers as a slave.
Everyone was frustrated for a while, and the work of chopping wood in their hands involuntarily relaxed.
"Dog slave, don't work yet, don't pick today, how to fire and cook in the camp, if you can't complete the task, I will be punished."
A Houjin Qiding, who was in charge of guarding the Ahabs, saw that the Ahabs were not serious about their work, so he loudly threatened them.
When those Aha heard the threat of the Houjin supervisor, they didn't dare to make any more moves, and they all quietly continued to slash the bushes in front of them.
When these Assa were about to bury their heads in hard work, they suddenly heard a frightened voice.
"Woe to you, the flying things of the Southern Dynasty are here."
As soon as the word came out, it shocked everyone.
