Chapter 47. Improper head shrinking turtles
Looking at the map, except for the vulgar man Tian Tao, the guerrilla general was a little excited, and Zhao Cheng, the capital secretary like the white-faced scholar, was estimated to be a starving ghost to survive, and he could stand the garrison like an old radish and He Baobao, each of whom had a gloomy face.
In the end, it is the Ming Dynasty, the mountains and rivers are under control, a map of Tieshan is hand-drawn to describe in detail the major events and small affairs of dozens of square kilometers under Mao Jue's command, the only drawback is that there is no contour line, which makes Mao Jue look a little awkward.
Standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, Mao Jue asked gloomily.
"Where did Jiannu's raiders go?"
Glancing at each other, Zhao Cheng, the capital secretary who looked like a white-faced scholar more than a military general, took the lead in replying with a gloomy face and a fist.
"General, this Jiannu is notoriously treacherous and cunning, at the beginning of Fushun, Kaiyuan, Tieling and a series of border passes, are Jiannu fraud, with internal thieves to make trouble, the inside and outside should be under the city wall, this time Yizhou Jiannu poured out, who knows if it is to take this opportunity to hit my Iron Mountain, once the Iron Mountain falls, there is no barrier north of my Dongjiang River, please be cautious!"
"yes, yes! Please be cautious!"
This guy is not unreasonable, thinking that Nurhachi's thirteen pairs of armor raised troops back then, and he couldn't do it in all the Jurchen departments, cities, and passes, and he did a lot of stealing chickens and dogs, and he was very familiar with it! The general army of Yizhou Jiannu is notoriously cunning, once the Ming army goes out of the city to fight, it is not impossible for his 3,000 Jianzhou soldiers to assemble and sneak attack down Tieshan.
But now the last thing Mao Jue can do is to follow their wishes, how did the previous Liu Heita become a mud bodhisattva? Not only is he has few soldiers in his hands, he has no strength, but more importantly, this old immortal has no meritorious deeds, the army is a place to talk about strength, and it is also compared with Nurhachi, the founder of the Qing Dynasty must be the first in every battle, and he will break if he does not retreat, which has accumulated victory after victory, from thirteen pairs of armor to the scale of more than 100,000 horses in the Eight Banners Army.
Mao Jue didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Liu Heita and was overshadowed by these bastards, so he had to make a move, if a few guys spoke in unison, he would be soft, and he would not have to play in the future.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, holding his arms, Mao Jue didn't speak, just leaned on the table and looked at a few people, under such dangerous eyes, at first he was full of truth, and gradually Zhao Cheng He Bao's voice became quieter.
I never thought that this young general, who was less than twenty years old and had not grown all his hair, would have such sharp eyes and such a yin vulture, and the atmosphere became unbearable for a while.
"Don't say anything?"
After a while, seeing that the six guys had completely shut up, Mao Jue hugged his arms and snorted coldly.
"Between the first entry into this army, the biggest problem is that we don't understand the rules, we don't have to send troops, my father wrote the battle report to the court truthfully, in order to protect the overall situation, you lost tens of thousands of people to Jiannu!"
"General, you ......"
The faces of the six people became difficult to look at, and they all said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake on the ground! But people can really listen to the sky, and there is Mao Dashuai behind him, and he really wants to fix a few of them, and some of them are talking.
To tell the truth, if you are in a hurry, these people can also go to build slaves, although there are few people who have voted over the years, it is not nothing, although they are slaves to others, hold their breath, but they can be mixed up quite well, Huang Taiji was really encouraged to raise Niha, in order to recruit rebels to dig the corner of the Ming Dynasty, it is a good time for these traitors.
But, this era! It's really not that Ming man who is willing to be a dog for Jiannu from the bottom of his heart, and no one is willing to take this step if he is not forced to die, so Mao Jue's real threat made these five local tyrants everyone sigh in their hearts.
And Mao Jue's next words made them breathe a sigh of relief again.
"The cavalry of all units is hoarded in Heshan, and the left army of the front army is guarding Garao, and the general will raise his own troops in Yuegu! If there is a slave to commit, let the wolf smoke as a number! All the troops are ambushed, don't let the thieves escape!"
Mao Jue's tactics can be described as decent, a little stronger than the passive defense of these six cowardly cats in Tieshan City, and the farthest Mao Jue personally stationed troops all the way to the Moon Valley is only nineteen miles away from the city, and most of Tieshan County is still lost under the iron hooves of Jiannu, and two-thirds of the Ming army's tuntian is estimated to have to be burned and robbed.
However, this young master has no brains, and he went up to fight to the death with the Jiannu Eight Banners, which was enough for Zhao Cheng and He Baobao to breathe a sigh of relief, even if Jiannu was really a Ming Xiu plank road and a dark Chen Cang, Tieshan had a big and small affair, and he had time to rush back, and this was good enough to protect the Tuntian under Tian Tao, which could be regarded as a great joy.
The young man actually has no guts, but he has a good face, he refuses to be a shrinking turtle in this Iron Mountain City, and he has to go out of the city to pretend to be for the sake of fame, and secretly despises Mao Jue in his heart.
"The last general and others must obey the general's military orders!"
…………
Today is really fresh enough, the Ming army, which has always shrunk in the city wall as a shrinking turtle, actually has a time to go out of the city, these days the refugees who fled into Tieshan City with their families are rarely lying on the fences on both sides of the street, pointing and talking loudly, just like the circus watching monkeys.
But it's no wonder that these cowards don't even have the courage to go out of the city, these old brothers really don't have anything decent under their command, carrying rusty spears, Tian Tao, He Baobao, the team of these people dragged on for a long time, and they walked crookedly, and the big-headed soldiers were either old and toothless, or baby soldiers who didn't have any hair, and the pro-soldiers at hand were still decent, and the prime of life between twenty and forty in Qingyishui was less than five hundred.
It is no wonder that the Ming army is often hundreds of thousands of troops killed by tens of thousands of Jiannu to run around in the pass, with this quality, it is not unjust to lose.
In this comparison, the Shang Kexi B-shaped battalion brought by Mao Jue from Phi Dao is still elite, there are not many old men and little hairy children, and the ones who need to form the army are still young and strong, and the farthest way to start is also at the end, riding a horse to follow the front of the Qianzong Li to bite the back of the team's buttocks, watching the two old men tremble and use the guns as abductions, Mao Jue really shook his head.
To be honest, what the future will be, he is really a little unsure, don't look at him as a traverser, just the complex situation of Tieshan County is enough for him to have a headache, not to mention a tiger body like a crooked god, all the heroes will bow their heads, and the spirit of the king will be released, and the beating of Jiannu will be like beating chickens, which will make them cry and cry for their fathers and mothers, and support the Ming Dynasty in minutes.
But there is one thing, he neither wants to be a victim of the changes of this era, nor does he want to be an Aha slave for the banner people, so no matter what the future holds, he still has to get a reliable army at hand, so that Ren Er can be left unmoved.
If you want to rectify this Tieshan Army, there are still a lot of troubles needed, seeing that the two "veterans" who had participated in the Korean War finally slowly rubbed out of the city gate, sighed, Mao Jue also kicked the belly of the war horse, and followed the swaying out of the city.
Although it didn't go far, but this time the scale was big enough, Tieshan Town originally had more than 5,100 soldiers and horses, and more than 3,000 were dispatched, and a battalion and 400 households brought by Mao Jue poured out, like a slap, extending to the north.
Moon Valley is the farthest of the three defense sites, nineteen miles, the later generations ran by bicycle for more than half an hour, but more than a thousand troops walked for an afternoon, until the sun almost set, and then arrived at the destination.
The northern part of Korea is mountainous, the terrain is broken and rugged, along the dangerous places in the mountains, the Ming army has built a lot of defensive fortresses, this Moon Valley is one of them, a certain glacial activity in ancient times opened a particularly deep ditch in the stratum, winding a bit like the moon, the platform formed in the embrace of the crescent moon is quite flat, a rather large earth enclosure, and then there is a steep mountain.
A rather large Tuweizi encloses half of the terrace, and the rest is planted with wheat, sorghum and other grains, which have now grown up, just waiting for the harvest after the autumn, such an excellent place for defense, if it can be used, it can be worth 100,000 male soldiers, but it is just more than 3,000 Jiannu, so scared that the Ming army does not dare to go out of the city, and the people of Yuegu are also frightened and flee backwards a lot, and the whole Tuweizi people seem to be sparse, and they are actually some old, weak, sick and disabled.
The soldiers under Shang Kexi's hands were not polite, they walked for a long time to the ground, and without waiting for Mao Jue's order, they actually dispersed by themselves, and went door to door to find a house to build a shack to live in tonight, even the pro-soldier team was no exception, only Mao Jue recruited more than 100 fishermen in the three surnames and 100 households and the new more than 60 pro-soldiers did not dare to go, and still maintained a queue of foot riders.
Fortunately, this earthen fence has been protected by a thick deer village fence, and there is a wooden fort at the easternmost end, so there is no need for these old soldiers to hurry up and dig any fortifications.
The grain brought was still pickled fish, some coarse grains, and more than a dozen chickens and ducks were caught by the people, and a pig was killed, and the sun gradually set for more than half an hour, and the smoke from the stove also rose in the dusk.
"General, those killers don't know how to respect and inferior, the small one grabbed one for you, you use it slowly!"
In the wooden fortress, Mao Jue, who went to the battlefield for the first time, was full of apprehension, and opened the map there to look, but the door was pushed open, and the happy comedian version of Su Changmei squeezed his barely visible eyes, holding a plate of big fat chickens and squeezing in with a smile.
However, the soldier's hands are rough, the chicken feathers are not plucked clean, and they are sparsely growing on it, lacking spices, and the local chicken still has a fishy smell, which makes Mao Jue lose his appetite when he smells it, and he can't help but wave his face in disgust.
"Take it out, you and Lao Wen will eat it!"
"Don't mind! General, you rely on a lot of strength to go into battle, there is no oil and water in your stomach, you should have diarrhea when you should exert your strength, you have to eat a leg!"
Tearing open the chicken skin, this thing broke off a chicken thigh, looking at the red and transparent meat, it finally made Mao Jue's saliva secrete a little, and he didn't postpone it anymore, he simply stretched out his hand and took it, while looking at the map and studying, while biting fiercely regardless of the image, watching the oil and water flow down his chin, the fat man was also smiling and his eyes were almost gone.
A few bites gnawed off the bones and threw them to the side, grabbed a towel to wipe his hands, Mao Jue asked casually.
"Lao Su, your way of battle formation is still the way, have you ever been in battle?"
"Master Hui, why hasn't the little one been on it? When the young one was a soldier in Kaiyuan, he walked the north road from Marin Ma Ye, and Salhu almost died in Shangjian Cliff in the first battle. ”
"You've also beaten Salhu!"
At the mention of this, Mao Jue's face finally changed a little, and he shouted in surprise, mentioning Salhu, the dead fat man's face couldn't help but twitch, revealing a little serious.
But before he could sigh a word, suddenly there was chaos in the village, and the bright fire suddenly burned in the southeast corner, and the Dongjiang army, who had just sat on the ground to eat and brag, ran around as if they had burned their butts, and some people shouted in fear.
"Jiannu is here!"
almost didn't sit on the ground, and angrily reached out to hang the revolver holster on his body again, Mao Jue shouted angrily.
"Go out and have a look!"
