Chapter 593: in the same room
The Korean volunteers and the Goryeo servants fought in the same room, but both sides were killing each other and were merciless.
It was the same as the fratricidal battle between the Jin family, which represented the communist camp for more than five years, and the Li family, which represented the capitalist camp, and 10,000 or 20,000 angry-eyed corpses fell in the trenches, most of which were Smecta.
After thirteen days of fierce fighting, Huang Long and Jin Sheng gathered at the forward command post to give the last mobilization order, and the generals who hurried to the meeting were covered with dust and gunpowder.
After serving as a soldier for two or three years, as long as it was in a state of war, Jin Sheng appeared on the front line and shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and he was recognized and respected by the generals of Dongjiang Town.
He looked at the generals of Donggang Town and the civilian and military generals of North Korea, and said loudly:
"Dongjiang Town is not isolated, there are 'Red Banner Army' warships on the Yalu River that are attacking the Houjin Army without stopping, and there are dozens of No. 2 Fu ships on the sea helping our army rush to transport hundreds of thousands of stone wheat that have just been harvested, and the soldiers are working harder to make Jiannu not take away a grain of wheat."
Huang Long stood up and paced in the big tent, he came to Shang Keyi's side to tidy up his armor for him, patted Shang Kexi's shoulder again, turned to the generals and said:
"This officer knows that everyone is fighting hard, but at this time we can't retreat, and our army has to hold the defensive line for at least three days.
Because there are still more than 100,000 stone wheat harvested and shipped not far from the defense line, there will be no three days to fall short, and finally the breakthrough Houjin army easily seized the grain that the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town had worked so hard to reclaim and harvested. ”
Dongjiang Town was really hungry a few years ago, and in the Mao Wenlong era, because Yuan Chonghuan deliberately did not give grain and grass, the soldiers and civilians ate bark and grass roots, and thousands of people who couldn't bear it starved to death.
Shang Kexi said in a high-profile manner: "Please rest assured, our army knows the importance of food, and everyone does not hesitate to fight to the death, even if the Houjin army has three times the number of men and horses of our army, it is difficult to break through the defense line in three or four days." ”
Mao Chenglu, who brought troops from Zhenjiang Fort to participate in the war for ten days, said: "Even if my Dongjiang soldiers give up Yizhou, they will have to fight their military might, and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Ma Guangyuan and other rats will have to let them take off a layer of skin if they want to take Yizhou." ”
Mao Chenglu, a general who has never forgotten his love for the old master Mao Wenlong and has not changed back to his original surname, has long lost his heart knot, and now he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't look down on Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other old generals of Dongjiang Town who used to be his junior brother by his side.
He believed that even if the strength of the army was only one-third of that of the Houjin army, it would not be a problem to hold it for another four or five days.
After all, the proportion of real slaves and Tartars in the Houjin army is only more than one percent, and now it is a trench battle, and the Jiannu and Tartars cannot give full play to the advantages of cavalry, and basically do not participate in the trench competition.
The people who fought with Dongjiang Town were all the Houjin army and the Goryeo servant army, and these people were not resolute in their willingness to attack when they encountered hard stubble.
Jin Sheng solemnly admonished everyone: "In order to prevent the great retreat from turning into a major rout and causing incalculable losses, the purpose of convening all the generals here today is to improve the retreat plan.
Which general will abandon his position without reaching the scheduled retreat time to escape from the battle, and be decided!
At that time, this officer and General Huang will lead tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to establish a second line of blocking positions forty miles southeast of Uiju, and our army will alternately cover and retreat into the second line of defense according to the plan.
There is no need to worry about being entangled by the enemy and not being able to board the ship and retreat, because the water battalion of the 'Red Banner Army' has already cooperated with our army to establish a beachhead at the wharf, and the artillery of the 'Red Banner Army' warships can hit four or five miles, and there will be more than 200 guns to block the pursuing troops by artillery bombardment. ”
Mao Chenglu, who admired Huang Han the most, praised loudly: "The Marquis of Dongping is interesting enough, he really didn't say anything to our Dongjiang soldiers!" With the response of the 'Red Banner Army', we will definitely be in danger when we retreat to Phi Island, Fukami Island, and Hiroshima Island. ”
Shang Ke said fiercely: "Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, these two bastards, deceive people too much, and they don't even care about the feelings of the past robes at all, and they are the most fierce.
Lao Tzu wanted to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack and teach these two traitors a hard lesson, so that they knew that the Shang brothers were not in vain. ”
Shang Keyi, the eldest brother of the Shang family, agreed: "Rao is like this, even if he is about to retreat, he can't be passive defense, and it is safer to fight back fiercely." ”
Mao Chenglu ranked first among Mao Wenlong's adopted sons, and he led the best equipped and most capable family team at that time, and he was a veritable boss of Mao.
He said: "Brothers, don't forget my eldest brother when you fight back, I think Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were what they were back then, and now they dare to fake the tiger and move the knife and gun with Lao Tzu, I'm bhew!" ”
Huang Long said: "On the premise of being able to hold the position for three days, how to fight, the generals can act cheaply, but this official reminds you to pay attention to preserving your strength, and when the Marquis of Dongping gets the holy order to lead the troops to counterattack Korea in the future, this official also hopes to fight side by side with you." ”
All the generals bowed down and said loudly: "The last general obeys!" ”
The people of Dongjiang Town more or less know the current strength of the "Red Banner Army", and many generals have seen with their own eyes the huge warships equipped with dozens of Hongyi cannons, and they have the bottom in their hearts, so no one panics.
In fact, the psychological quality of the old generals in Dongjiang Town is excellent, and they are able to persist in fighting even though the enemy is outnumbered, which is not unrelated to the fact that they have followed Mao Wenlong's training for a long time and fought guerrilla warfare in the rear of Jiannu for eight years.
After two years of hard work, Kong Youde was appreciated by the slave chieftain and was appointed as the "Marshal of the Capital" to lead the first class general officer, and at this time he launched a great battle to seize the Yangtze River and coastal plains in Yizhou, which was actually pinched when the wheat was ripe.
Grain is a symbol of strength, four stones of wheat can be exchanged for a medium war horse to the Mongol tribe, such a war horse is worth more than thirty taels of silver on the black market if it is trafficked to the Ming Dynasty.
When Kong Youde summoned all the traitors to boost their morale, he knew that dozens of traitor generals who were not interested in fighting with the poor Dongjiang soldiers learned that there were hundreds of thousands of stone wheat to share the spoils, and they all came to work.
Unexpectedly, the hateful Dongjiang soldiers were not afraid of trouble, and used two years to dig the position into a ravine, and basically no one could come up after the 3,000 people in the vanguard of the unknown Goryeo servant army went down.
The less than 10,000 horses led by the main general Azig were the children of the Eight Banners and the Mongol light cavalry, and of course he refused to fight such a battle for the position, and still chose to sit in the rear and wait for the "Marshal Du" appointed by the Great Khan to attack the Dongjiang army position and fill the trenches before launching a cavalry attack.
The traitor army drove the Goryeo servant army to fight for more trenches day and night, and this fight was half a month, and the position changed hands many times to form a tug-of-war.
Unexpectedly, time has passed, and the people of Dongjiang Town have recovered from the decadence of losing Mao Dashuai, and Kong Youde couldn't help but be impressed.
