Chapter 64: Dong Ping, the Twin Spear General
Twin guns will Dong Ping? One battalion of horse troops, three battalions of infantry troops?
Lin Chong was happy when he heard it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that Dong Ping's official position as the commander of the Yunzhou Soldiers and Horses is not small.
There are several kinds of soldiers and horses in the Northern Song Dynasty, including the soldiers and horses of the camp, the soldiers and horses of the road, the state and the county.
The soldiers and horses of the camp are senior officers of the Great Song Dynasty, roughly equivalent to the commander of the large military region, for example, Cao Bin, the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the commander of the soldiers and horses of the camp; As for the road division, the government (state) soldiers and horses are middle-level officers.
Dong Ping is the commander of the Yunzhou Soldiers and Horses, in charge of the soldiers and horses of a state (the state is equivalent to the city or region of later generations), the highest military governor of Yunzhou, equivalent to the commander of the military division, and the rank is at least similar to the brigade commander or division commander of the later generations.
Zhujiazhuang is really a good means, so extravagant, I don't know how much money I made, but I have the ability to invite the military chief of a state, a senior general of the Great Song Dynasty at the level of a division commander, to take care of his family.
However, this is just right, and I was worried that Zhujiazhuang was too weak, and it was difficult to play a role in training.
Now Dong Ping actually took the initiative to take a battalion of horse soldiers and a battalion of infantry soldiers to run over to be a sparring partner for himself, which is of course a good thing.
"Okay, Brother Zhu Gui is really shrewd and capable, remember to go to Mr. Gao to ask for credit later!"
Lin Chong laughed and praised Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui saw that Lin Chong valued himself so much, and he was a little flattered in his heart, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Gui was excited, but there were still people who were more excited than him, Lu Zhishen and Ji Ji practiced on the mountain every day, and ran around with his heavy axe soldiers wearing two layers of heavy armor every day, holding wood, boiling muscles and bones, exercising strength, and the boring days faded out.
Last time, I finally managed to take the opportunity to go down the mountain to fight, but before they could make a move, the three hundred cavalry directly ended the battle.
Now that they have encountered such an opportunity, the four eyes of the two of them are shining brightly.
"Lord, I've been idle for a long time, and I didn't kill a single person last time I went down the mountain, so this time I sent our battalion down the mountain to kill him without leaving a piece of armor."
"Brother of the military master, let our camp go down the mountain, and make sure that the bird will know the strength of our Liangshan army!"
Lin Chong smiled, this heavy axe soldier was a military branch specially set up by himself in order to emulate Tang Mo's sword army, in order to be able to specialize in cavalry like the Mo Sword Army, advancing like a wall, and the men and horses were shattered.
It can be said that like the continuous fire of the divine arm bow and the wall charge of the heavy cavalry, the heavy axe soldier is also his trump card against a strong enemy, and it is his secret weapon, how can he easily take it out and use it?
Last time, it was Lu Jiang and Wen Huanzhang who pursued insurance too much, and actually sent Lu Zhishen.
"Senior brother, you use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, your heavy axe soldier is a secret weapon that I trained to deal with the Jurchen cavalry, isn't it overkill to use it on Dong Ping?"
Seeing the dejected appearance of the two, Lin Chong hurriedly comforted: "Senior brother, don't worry, don't worry, you can train with peace of mind, I will take care of the use of your heavy axemen." ”
The two of them smiled at this time, and even said that you don't forget.
At this time, the two brothers Li Tianyan and Teng Jian came to ask for battle again, saying that they had sent two battalions of horse troops down the mountain, and set up an ambush halfway to kill Dong Ping.
Lin Chong still shook his head and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten the purpose of I want to fight Zhujiazhuang?" One of them is to train troops by the way, how to train troops when they set up ambushes halfway?
If you want to fight, we will fight openly, let's wait for him to bring the men and horses to Zhujiazhuang, and then set up a battle with them in a dignified manner, isn't it better? ”
"Good! Then wait for them to arrive at Zhujiazhuang, and then kill them without leaving a piece of armor......"
"It's just the army, we have never seen a battle since the formation of the battalion, this time we must send our battalion down the mountain......"
The crowd once again began to fight.
It turned out that Lin Chong and General Lu and Wen Huanzhang discussed, in order to let the Liangshan army develop the habit of being happy when he heard the battle like the Qin State during the Warring States Period, Lin Chong ordered that whoever participated in the battle and won the battle, would record the collective and individual merits according to the actual situation.
For example, going down the mountain to fight, how many enemies are killed, how much merit is recorded, how much is the average reward for a killing, and then divided according to each team;
Another example is that a lot of money has been seized, although all the seizures must be returned to the public, but the combat troops can also get one percent, and although the troops left behind in the mountains can also get some, they are much smaller than the combat troops.
Therefore, now when they heard that there was a battle to be fought, everyone naturally rushed to fight, and even Ruan Xiaoqi, who sent Zhu Gui over, shouted that he wanted to lead the naval army to fight.
Lin Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't fight, except for the heavy cavalry of the Beiwei Army and the first battalion of the infantry army, but anyone who has formed an army will be able to go down the mountain to fight this time."
However, the opponent only has four battalions of soldiers and horses, and we only need to fight two or three battalions of soldiers and horses each time. ”
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Fu came to report that Dong Ping had arrived at Zhujiazhuang with four battalions of soldiers and horses, so the Liangshan army immediately began to act.
"Gather your troops and send troops!"
Because it was the first official expedition, this time it was Lin Chong personally led the team, according to the order of drawing lots, Lin Chong only brought two battalions of soldiers this time, and one battalion trained new soldiers.
The two battalions were the first battalion of Li Tianyan's field cavalry and the third battalion of He Ji's infantry army, with a total of 300 cavalry, 500 infantry, and 500 auxiliaries.
1,300 men arrived at the Yunlai Hotel in the evening on the boat of the first battalion of Ruan Xiaoer's navy (the navy has now been expanded into three battalions), rested for one night, and marched sixty miles on the second day, and came to the village less than ten miles before Dulonggang.
Perhaps because they learned the lesson of the last time, this time Zhujiazhuang and Dong Ping did not come to raid the camp at night.
Although Lin Chong sent troops to attack Zhujiazhuang with great fanfare, and the soldiers he brought were far lower than Dong Ping's military horses, Lin Chong was not underestimating the enemy or messing around.
He sent scouts early to find out the situation of Dong Ping and Zhujiazhuang.
Zhujiazhuang was discouraged in the battle, and Luan Tingyu had also personally seen the luxurious equipment and strength of the Liangshan Army, so it was estimated that it was impossible to take the initiative to attack.
Therefore, it was Dong Ping's four battalions of soldiers and horses who fought the main force, but Lin Chong found out that Dong Ping's four battalions of soldiers and horses were not full of 2,000 people, but a battalion of the Ma Army only had 400 people, and a battalion of the infantry army was less than 400.
Moreover, the training and armament of this unit are far inferior to their own side.
“…… Therefore, these four battalions of soldiers and horses are completely unconcerned, and the only thing worth paying attention to is Dong Ping's guy, this person is a native of Shangdang County, Hedong, who is good at using double guns, known as double gun generals, and is known as having the courage of ten thousand people.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, this person is indeed brave and good at fighting, and this person is young and vigorous, good at taking the lead, likes to rampage, and thousands of troops dare to crash into it, so it is also called Dong Yibump, which is a trouble! ”
Li Tianyan was puzzled: "Could it be that this guy is more powerful than the military master?" ”
Lin Chong shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, why do I need to kill him?" He's used to going on a rampage, and if he really dares to crash in tomorrow, we'll shoot him with a bow, but it's just ......"
