Chapter 3 Soldiers Descend on the City

This is a simple reorganization, just to bring together the soldiers of the original different formations into the formation under Xin Lei. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the cabinet were then selected from the officers among the original soldiers and assigned the corresponding positions. Specifically, it is to let these chaotic soldiers assemble according to the original structure and register them. All the formations, no matter how big or small, were allocated as a whole, and some scattered soldiers were eventually interspersed and supplemented into the insufficient number of soldiers.

The cavalry gathered 600 men and was directly divided into three battalions according to the establishment of a battalion of 200 men. The archers were also concentrated, divided into two battalions. The baggage battalion is more complete, however, so many baggage soldiers are not needed in special periods, so the formation of a battalion is retained, and some qualified soldiers are selected to supplement the infantry.

It didn't take long, and the personnel were almost allocated. There were three battalions of cavalry, five battalions of infantry, two battalions of archers, one battalion of baggage, and the battalion of jumping, making a total of twelve battalions at once.

It's almost sorted out here, Xin Lei's order came down, and the commanders of each battalion left the adjutant to continue to wrap up, and went to the big tent to discuss matters by themselves.

Xin Lei was promoted, and all the battalions under the hall were all in place.

The first battalion of cavalry led Xu Liqiang, the second battalion led Zhang Shigang, and the third battalion led Zhang Guochao. The first battalion of infantry soldiers led Song Weizhao, the second battalion led Qiao Hengbo, the third battalion led Chen Hongcang, the fourth battalion led Gong Xiaoxiang, the fifth battalion led Wei Xiong, the first battalion of archers led Xue Yongxi, the second battalion of archers led Dong Hongyang, the jumping battalion led Qu Guangshui, the baggage battalion led Liu Shouhui, and the civil official Cao Minghui.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rebels are less than twenty miles from here, and we will face a severe test."

Dong Hongyang, the battalion leader, asked: "General, how many chasing soldiers are there?" ”

"There are 20,000 pursuers, and although the enemy is strong and we are weak, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, but we have no way out and must face the battle. Moreover, this battle can only be won and not lost. I won't say anything superfluous, but when life and death are at stake, I think you all know what to do in your heart. ”

When everyone heard that there were 20,000 rebel pursuers, they were a little nervous. There are only more than 3,000 people on his side, and whether he can resist the lack of knowledge in his heart, the generals are a little worried.

Xin Lei also knew that the difference in strength between the two sides was very large, and his subordinates must have hesitated in their hearts, and as soon as the topic changed, the generals were forced to a situation where they had to fight.

"Why did I get scared as soon as I heard that there were 20,000 chasing soldiers, and I felt if there were any eggs on my body, and those who didn't have eggs should get out of here."

Nima, what an insult! These battalions blushed and stood up all of a sudden.

"Obey the general's orders, we will fight to the death!"

Eleven people shouted in unison, and the fighting spirit was raging.

This is also no way, if you don't fight, you will die, and it is better to fight to the death than to be said to be a person who has no eggs, and there may still be life in the war. Just like the general said, kill a bloody road, maybe break out of the road of glory and wealth.

"Order: The first battalion of archers, the second battalion of archers lined up to block the enemy, the second battalion of infantry, and the third battalion of infantry were lined up to protect the two wings, the first battalion of infantry defended in the center, and the first battalion led Song Weizhao to command. Before the enemy army arrives, build fortifications and dig earth and build platforms to meet the incoming enemy. As long as you can withstand a few rounds of onslaught from the enemy, you will be able to fight from behind the enemy at a critical moment, and this battle will be won. ”

This guy is trying to make these armies fight to the death! Not afraid of being overwhelmed by enemy troops?

"No, your subordinates."

"The first and second battalions of the cavalry served as the vanguard of the fourth infantry battalion and the fifth infantry battalion respectively, and Xu Liqiang commanded them. There is a dense forest three miles away where you can hide, and when the enemy army is in confusion, you can flank the enemy in two ways. ”

"No, your subordinates."

"The 3rd Cavalry Battalion went with me to harass the enemy army, slow down the advance of the rebels, and discourage the rebels. When the enemy forces attack our defensive positions, choose the best time to surprise from behind the enemy and cause confusion among the rebels. The left and right ambushes took advantage of the confusion of the enemy army to flank the enemy army, and the infantry on the frontal defense took the opportunity to form a joint attack on all sides, and the enemy army must be wiped out. ”

"No, your subordinates."

Although the tactics are good, it is a pity that our number is too small. Suddenly, several battalions reacted, and the general planned to lead 200 cavalry to harass 20,000 enemy troops, which was not too dangerous.

"General, the task of harassing the enemy army is still for me, I can't leave the general's command here."

Xu Liqiang volunteered and was willing to take on the task of delaying the enemy army.

"No, you each have a mission. And the purpose of my visit was not only to delay the enemy, but to create confusion and undermine their confidence. At present, the enemy is too strong, and Lin Shihong will soon develop to more than 100,000 troops, so I will eat the enemy's 20,000 troops and turn them into our strength. Don't talk about it, the big war is about to break out, and the order will be executed. ”

Xin Lei's orders have been ordered by his subordinates to fight, and the generals of his own family have other ideas, and it is really difficult for others to be up to this task.

The rebels defeated the Great Sui Xiaoguo Army in a battle, which made Lin Shihong's confidence extremely inflated, and in Lin Shihong's opinion, the official army is also a strong outsider! It's probably all rotten, and I don't need to beat it.

At this time, the Great Sui Dynasty was already crumbling, with the Wagang army in Henan, the Dou Jiande army in Hebei, and the Du Fuwei army in Jianghuai...... Rebellions have risen one after another, and the wind has surged. Yang Guang's Great Sui Dynasty was already difficult to control, and he did nothing to hide in Jiangdu.

Lin Shihong is extremely longing in his heart, and there should be a place for me in the world.

General Lin Shihong ordered his subordinate Li Ba to lead 20,000 troops to chase after the Xiaoguo army, and the rest of the people cleaned up the battlefield and collected weapons and equipment.

Although the rebels also have weapons in their hands, after all, the equipment is very poor. The weapons of the army of the Great Sui Dynasty were quite sophisticated, and Lin Shihong, who was happy, couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Li Ba, the general who pursued the Xiaoguo army, is also very fucked, you have to be angry to chase the rout. It's better for him to see that it's not early, and he is already hungry from the battlefield, so he chases a town and robs it, and when the scourge is over, he starts to make food.

After eating, the rebels were stationed on the spot and slept.

His delay left time for the defeated Xiaoguo army, and he ran dozens of miles in one breath and returned to the grain and grass transfer station before stopping to rest.

Okay, everybody's resting, but you should get up early and keep chasing. Well, this general who led the troops slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then slowly began to march.

On the march to fight, 20,000 troops, you will always send out some jumping to find out the information of the other party, right? This Li Ba probably never led troops, did not understand the routines of war at all, did not send a jump to reconnoitre, and the 20,000 troops marched forward in a mighty way.

Xin Lei was lucky to meet such an opponent, which made him unhurried and ready to fight. If the other side had pursued yesterday with victory, I am afraid that now these more than 3,000 troops would have been more than lucky.

Song Weizhao chose a favorable terrain on the road, cut down trees to build a grid, and piled up soil behind the grid, and the soldiers stood on the platform with the grid as high as their chests.

Almost all of them were involved in the construction of the fortifications, and the soldiers knew that the battle was extremely dangerous. The enemy is outnumbered by 3,000 to 20,000, and the fortifications of the defense side are particularly important.

The grille is almost already tied, all that remains is to fill in the platform to a certain height. At this time, a fast horse galloped in the distance, and it was obvious that new information had arrived.

"Report, the enemy army is still eight miles away from here."

"Got it, let's find out."

"No, yes."

After the jumping soldiers left, Song Weizhao ordered the archers and infantry soldiers to come down and rest, leaving only the baggage soldiers to work. The big battle is coming, and the archers must not be too tired.
