275 They are willing to use black
Brigade Headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.
"I have gathered everyone here today to tell you what our purpose is this time." Ma Heng said to the officers at or above the regimental level present.
"According to reason, our brigade should fight Huangfu Song, and at the worst of all, we should also fight Handan City. But we went to the place of Sheguo. There is nothing in this place. I always feel that everyone is very indebted. Right? Ma Heng asked.
"yes. Sir. Our brigade is fighting a tough battle. However, all of a sudden, there was no war. We, always feel, in the heart. It's itchy in my hands. The commander of the 21st Regiment said anxiously.
"Huh." Everyone laughed.
"Laugh, that's it. Our 3rd Infantry Brigade. After arriving at the Huguan in the west, it will be adapted. Reorganized into the 3rd Infantry Division. The number of the 3rd Infantry Division will likely reach more than 20,000 people. Ma Heng said. When Ma Heng said this, someone raised his hand. is a regimental staff officer.
"Sir. We also speculated on the destination this time. It's just that after laying down Huguan County, what should we do? Lay down the firstborn? If that's the case, our battle won't be good. The regimental staff officer said.
"Hmm. You kid still have a bit of an eye, yes, you know how to learn something. Ma Heng complimented.
"But your kid's strategic vision is still too far behind. Let's not talk about this question, let me ask you, what is the biggest shortcoming of our infantry brigade? Ma Heng asked everyone with his hands behind his back.
"Cons. Do we still have shortcomings in our brigade? "The regimental commander, the regimental staff officer, the chief of staff began to discuss with each other.
"This. It's impossible. What other shortcomings do we have, when we are in this pursuit, our two legs are faster than all four of our mother's legs. Moreover, dare to fight and dare to rush, if it weren't for our roundabout outflanking, would we be able to rush the Northern Army like that? "That's what a lot of officers discussed.
"Ahem." Ma Heng coughed twice. The officers still couldn't find the answer, they didn't know what their commander's intentions were.
"That's true. You've got two fucking legs over four legs. Okay. I'll ride a horse for a while to see if you can catch up with Lao Tzu, damn it, you're still a good man. Ma Heng scolded.
"Huh." The officers laughed.
"Don't think that after a few victorious battles, you feel that you are amazing, to tell you, there are still many battles that the Third Brigade has not fought, for example, the attack on Huguan County. We will also have to fight mountain warfare in the future, and after the mountain warfare is over, we will cross the plains, where there is no shelter, and the infantry has no advantage over the cavalry. Ma Heng said.
"Boys, let me tell you, our shortcoming, and the biggest shortcoming of our Red Turban Army at present, is the serious lack of mobility. Although our firepower has increased a lot, but for maneuvering, we still have to rely on two legs, what are our leggings for. Why do all from the commander to the soldiers wear leggings? Ma Heng asked.
"Just because we don't have enough cavalry troops, when it comes to mobility. We can only rely on two legs. Don't tell Lao Tzu anything about running on two legs and four legs, if you really run, you will all suffer a big loss. Ma Heng said.
All of a sudden, everyone stopped talking. They knew they were a little proud. Many people have taken military school classes, and the instructors have repeatedly taught them that proud soldiers are invincible, proud soldiers will be defeated, and now they are proud soldiers.
"Sir. We. We were wrong. The commander of the 11th Regiment stood up and bowed his head and said.
"Yes, sir, we were all wrong." The officers said one after another.
"It's good to know that you're wrong, you have to learn more, war, you can't finish learning, if you think you have fought a few great battles, it will be very powerful. So what do you need an officer like us for? Ma Heng said.
"Alright. I won't talk about this question. Now that you're all clear. Let's talk about strategy. Ma Heng said. The officers sat down one after another, sitting up straight. They know that's what they care about most.
"We have only one purpose to the west, to cross the Yellow River, and then to attack north, into the area controlled by the Xiongnu, with the goal of seizing the Hetao Plain. There is good water, and there is good ground. It is possible to farm. The food that is beaten cannot be eaten for a lifetime, not only the grain, but also a large number of cattle and sheep. Eat as much meat as you want. And that's not all. Ma Heng said.
"There are still a large number of horses, after we change to an infantry division, we can have a cavalry regiment, and maybe our own cavalry division in the future, think about it. Brethren, cavalry troops of tens of thousands of men were scattered, and ten thousand horses galloped. What does that feel like? "Ma Heng painted a beautiful blueprint.
"Tens of thousands, tens of thousands of horses. Oh my goodness. The officers exclaimed. They don't even have to think about it to know what kind of situation they are going to become.
The chief also said. After we occupy the Loop, we will build up our cavalry there and fight all the way north. The expulsion of the Huns, followed by a series of nomadic peoples in the north. Let's ride our horses and kill all the way. Kill as far as you can. The cattle and sheep of the few nomadic tribes were captured. It's all yours, the pasture, you take as much as you want, and how you want to take it. Ma Heng said.
"Sir, this. Isn't this getting rich? A staff officer stood up excitedly and said.
"No, we're rich. Our mission is to fight the Huns. Do you know what we're going to do in the west? Ma Heng asked.
"Yes, got it." Everyone said excitedly.
"But sir, it's not easy. Infantry fights cavalry, this mobility is not as good as the enemy, and there are many problems. The regimental chief of staff of the 11th regiment said worriedly.
"Yes, yes, that's it, I can't all hear that I'm going to get rich. Bang bang bang. Let's keep a cool head. You have to learn this from the chief of staff. Ma Heng said. Everyone was embarrassed.
"The commander also takes this into account, after we cross the Yellow River, the First Infantry Division, that is, the First Infantry Brigade, will enter the east of the river. Then they fought along the valley of the Fen River, and if possible, they would attack Taiyuan, so on. The two armies will be able to fight across the Yellow River. Not only that, but the independent infantry brigade will also follow suit and become a strategic reserve between the coalition forces. In this way, the three main forces were launched. Ma Heng introduced.
"Sir. How many officers and troops are there and how many Hun troops are there facing us? A regimental staff officer asked worriedly.
"The Huns are all soldiers, if they are all mobilized, they will be about 150,000 people, and if they are mobilized on a larger scale, the number of troops may be about 200,000." Ma Heng said.
"Boom." Hear here. The officers all swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, after their expansion, the maximum number of troops was more than 20,000, why did they let them enter the Shangdang area first, in fact, they were allowed to expand. Even if they had more than 20,000 people, they were facing 150,000 Huns, and if the other side mobilized more troops, they basically had little hope.
"What's wrong? Scared? Ma Heng looked at the crowd.
"Don't be afraid." An officer took the lead.
"Yes. Unafraid. We are the 3rd Infantry Brigade, what are we afraid of? A lot of people said.
"Good. Our third brigade has always been a narrow road where the brave wins. What's wrong with infantry fighting cavalry. What about 200,000 people? In the end, I'll be fucking beaten down by our 3rd Infantry Brigade. The chief said well, after crossing the Yellow River, as long as it is a place for the Huns, you can rob and kill at will, cattle and sheep, yours, women, yours. Large expanses of grassland. It's all yours. Ma Heng said loudly.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. "The officers were agitated, and they were to go back and speak these words to their soldiers. Let them be prepared for this.
Lijiazhuang, inside the headquarters of the Red Turban Army. Sangwu dealt with matters related to negotiations. Before the official army ceded the city on the first line of Handan. After the Red Turbans delivered 150 muskets and 15 telescopes. The officers and troops will quickly withdraw from Handan City. The peace agreement between the two sides is considered to have entered into force. In terms of the relevant name, it is still necessary to negotiate with the Jingshi Luoyang side. The Red Turban Army accepted the title of Righteous Army and promised not to cross the Handan line again. As for the development to the west, Huguan, the eldest son line. The imperial court also chose to retreat. However, one county was retained. The main purpose was to control the development of the Red Turban Army to the north and the state area.
Of course. The Red Turbans can attack, but that would tear up all agreements. This is not good news for the Red Turbans. After all this is completed, the muskets, artillery and other items in the back will be carried out in the form of trade, and Luoyang will provide a large amount of raw materials, and at the same time do not restrict the export of grain in exchange for a large number of weapons and equipment. The Red Turban Army can not only get sufficient supplies, but also exchange for a large amount of food through the export of weapons, and the two sides have reached a mutually beneficial state. As for the other conditions, the two sides will conduct further consultations, and this matter will be handed over to Jia Xu to deal with.
Shang Wu focused on only one thing, the wheat pile.
He knew that the Second Infantry Brigade of the Red Turban Army was preparing such a thing, but he didn't know how Huang Fusong on the other side was prepared. The series of reconnaissance before the battle seemed to be very careful. There aren't too many flaws. But Shangwu is still a little uneasy, after all, the Second Infantry Brigade has never fought such a tough battle, and in terms of experience, it is still very lacking.
"What's wrong? Worried? Jia Xu came over at this time and asked.
"yes. The 2nd Infantry Brigade had never fought such a tough battle, and it was still very lacking in experience. And not just the 2nd Infantry Brigade. A lot of our infantry brigades. There are such problems, for example, before, the Third Infantry Brigade suffered a loss, because of such a thing. Encountering a situation. Shang Wu and Jia Xu sat down and said.
"Actually, I'm worried about that too. However, without such a thing, the Second Infantry Brigade will not be able to grow, and the Second Infantry Brigade has always played by avoiding the real and making up for the false, and in doing so, of course, it will not suffer a big loss, and it may even bargain for money. Big bargain. However, it is difficult to fight a tough battle and gnaw hard bones. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. It is right to say that all troops that can fight a tough battle need to go through such a test of fire and blood. Shang Wen said helplessly.
"Are you worried that you may lose more and more troops in this attack operation?" Jia Xu asked worriedly.
"yes. However, since it has been said. We have to be prepared, this kind of thing, it is inevitable, although we also want to avoid such things, but, helplessly, many things have become like this, what else can we do? Shang Wu said. Jia Xu nodded. He could feel the mood of martial arts. Think of the dense spiritual seats of Valhalla. This looks like a heart-wrenching feeling. The last place Jia Xu wants to go is there. People not only feel depressed, but also have a lot of helplessness if they can't forge a new path. They simply don't have the face to face those fallen soldiers. Both of them have a lot of pressure, and in the future, they can't see the light of day for the time being. They can only take one step at a time.
Luoyang, Beijing. A flying rider quickly entered the capital of Luoyang. People on both sides dodged. This is the express news of the imperial court, even if he was hit and killed on the road, he deserved it.
Inside the North Palace. Zhang Rang finally got a definite answer, and a stone in his heart finally fell. Then he hurriedly reported it to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Ahem. Ahem. "Emperor Han Ling's condition has improved, and the imperial doctor has instructed him to abstain from alcohol and sexual intercourse. But Emperor Han Ling actually dragged the sick body to do these things. There is no way. Emperor Han Ling couldn't grieve himself. In such a situation, the imperial doctor did not have much of a good way, so he could only watch his Emperor His Majesty do this, and the emperor thought that as long as he drank more potions, it would be fine. As for the rest. It's not something he's in control.
"Your Majesty. Got news? Zhang Rang whispered.
"How? Do the thieves agree? "Emperor Han Ling's first concern is the title of their Red Turban Army. For the Red Turban Army, Emperor Han Ling was very disgusted, and even had a great deal of fear, which caused a series of irritability because of fear. This is something that many people don't understand.
"The thieves have agreed that as long as we withdraw from Handan, we will be fine, and before we withdraw, we are willing to sacrifice a hundred muskets and ten clairvoyant mirrors." Zhang Rang whispered. In fact, there are some things that have been given to greedy ink by Zhang. He knew that these things could sell for a lot of money, so he had the numbers changed. The benefits that are erased in the middle are naturally their own.
"Hmm. It seems that they have a heart. So, names, don't they use that color? Emperor Han Ling asked.
"Your Majesty, it's no longer necessary, they're willing to change that nasty color." Zhang Rang said.
"They're willing to go black." Zhang Rang said.
