However, in order to prevent the Chinese army's upper road troops from being defeated in a short period of time, and in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Su Zedong and Zheng Defeng still decided to let the upper road army on the back road need to arrange the remaining eighty members of the ghost soldier team, and they still need to strengthen some requirements for their martial arts and riding skills!

Now that the requirements have been raised, those old fritters of the ghost army will be useful, raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, Su Zedong is looking forward to it, what kind of battle can they fight under Cheng Zeheng's training!

As for the specific arrangement and tasks of the rear army, Su Zedong did not strictly state the pattern of going out of the upper, middle, and lower roads, but set it as a mobile group, with Lu Zhen's troops as the main force, and its purpose was to coordinate and control the situation on the entire battlefield and make preparations with both hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

That is, if the Mongolian cavalry really defied the sky and the team mixed by the ghost army and Lu Zhen's cavalry battalion, with a force of 1 to 1.5, it could not be broken, then this battle really could not be fought, or the reinforcements of the Mongolian cavalry came quickly, and they had to try to withdraw.

If the Mongolian cavalry is repulsed, the task of the rear army is to do a good job of backing up the pursuing troops in front, but you can't fall for the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, be surrounded and sent to help, you must make any preparations in advance, after all, the biggest advantage of the Mongolian cavalry is mobility!

As long as the speed comes together, you can do a lot of things on the battlefield, especially the Mongolian cavalry is also equipped with shooting skills, it is definitely a monster with speed and attack!

Su Zedong thinks that in the legend of the Condor Heroes in later generations, why Guo Jing was so valued by Temujin is definitely because of his ability to shoot the Condor with a bow, and why the status of Jebe in history is so high, and because he has the title of archer!

As long as the bow and arrow are shot well, even if it is a hostile force, it is still a hero and a respectable figure in the hearts of the Mongols.

After arranging the relevant matters of the army, Su Zedong planned to give a banquet to the strong men who were about to leave in the afternoon, and said a few encouraging words, so that the soldiers in Lu Zhen's army knew him.

But it backfired, and after learning that most of the soldiers of Lu Zhen's army were unwilling to eat lunch when they went out on the expedition, they thought it was unlucky.

Having said that, Su Zedong also knew that this group of soldiers also wanted not to stand in line so quickly, they were not from the army, and they were rarely from a military family, but they also knew that those things in the army were similar to those in the officialdom!

That is, this morning, Zheng Defeng rushed to Tan Zhen's tent with great momentum, and everyone estimated that he wanted to toss, which is also a common act of power or catharsis in the army.

Su Zedong knew very well that in many battles in history, it was not because the generals who commanded the battle were not good, nor necessarily because the soldiers under them were not effective, but many times the generals were not in harmony, and the soldiers were coaxing one by one, so naturally they could not win the battle.

What's more, didn't there be two emperors in the Song Dynasty who were captured, they drove the expedition in person, and a eunuch held the right to speak in the army, which was definitely asking for hardship, and was captured by other people's Jinren, which indirectly caused Yue Fei to be killed by twelve gold medals.

Since people don't appreciate it, they can't chill their own hearts, and the more than 200 people in the ghost army can almost squeeze the Dongxing Tavern that has just been expanded!

……

Today's Gaoyou City West Street is particularly lively, even if the lunch is at noon on weekdays, the people are all panicked under the pressure of the Mongolian army, and the West Street is naturally much more indifferent, but today is different, the people of the ghost army are here to gather again.

And there were a lot of people coming this time, and more than 200 people came at once!

Su Zedong, the master of the Juyi Hall who was in charge of the ghost soldiers, also came, and some of the small stalls and vendors and idle citizens who saw this group of people on the street really recognized Su Zedong, and there were also a few sharp-eyed young people who had a good impression of Dongzhen Company, and they also knew Zheng Defeng next to him.

Zheng Defeng, as the management of Dongzhen Company, his main task is to maintain the security of Dongzhen Company in Gaoyou City and the familiarity of the work, belongs to the number one person with absolute real power, he also agrees with and listens to Su Zedong's words, and vigorously encourages and supports young and middle-aged people to start a business......

Under the guidance of Su Zedong, the ancient young and middle-aged "entrepreneurship" was not to open a company or engage in projects, but mainly to run errands, settle accounts, and do coolies, and its main purpose was to let the young adults emancipate the inherent "housekeeping" thinking.

After doing farm work, young and middle-aged people in the countryside can go to Dongzhen Company to do miscellaneous labor, or they can join the militia organized by the government to practice; The middle-aged people in the city can come directly to work in the subordinate "units" of Dongzhen Company!

As long as you are willing to do things, Dongzhen Company's restaurants, blacksmith shops, grain stores, salt shops and other shops always need help.

Encouraging words, Su Zedong can't say it in front of the public, but this link can't be omitted, the two hundred people of the ghost soldier team are, to a certain extent, the main force against the Mongolian soldiers in the afternoon!

didn't take any form, and didn't say any nonsense, Su Zedong stood up and drank three bowls of turbid wine in a row!

Everyone is still worried about drinking and making mistakes, so instead of the 45-degree distilled liquor that they usually drink, they will make turbid liquor with more than 10% alcohol purity.

Seeing that the hall master was so bold and unambiguous, the team members immediately stood up and followed the specifications of Su Zedong's big bowl to do three bowls in a row!

When the wine was finished and the strength came up, Su Zedong seized this good opportunity, and at this time, it was absolutely effective to say some heart-wrenching and encouraging words.

First of all, Su Zedong scolded the Mongols severely, saying that they were a group of inhumane beasts, a group of robbers who did not come from the Mongolian steppe, their appearance was the source of evil, and their hearts were the most inferior!

Then, Su Zedong said how expressive the members of the ghost soldier team were, saying that they had undergone all kinds of high-intensity training, and had been recognized by him and everyone in the management of Dongzhen Company, and spared no effort to praise them as heroes and heroes of the times!

Finally, Su Zedong also ended with the cliché of "Don't forget each other"; The ultimate goal is to put the soldiers at ease and let them know that they are already recognized by others and trustworthy.

And Zheng Defeng, as the direct leader of this group of people on the battlefield, of course can't be as weak as Su Zedong, and of course he can't go against Su Zedong, so he first talked about the brutality of the Mongols, and then talked about the shortcomings of all the people in the ghost army in training.

In the end, his summary still said from the heart that the brothers cherished each other, which touched many men present!

Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be scolded has been scolded, and there is no need for brothers to say anything more before going to the battlefield!

After drinking all the wine on the table, everyone took a nap, then put on their well-fitting battle robes, took their weapons, and followed Zheng Defeng to the barracks to meet Lu Zhen's troops!

What everyone in the ghost army didn't expect was that when Zheng Defeng arrived at Lu Zhen's military camp with them, the general Lu Zhen was riding his Dawan good horse and waiting in front of the more than 500 cavalry of Zhang Lujun's army who was about to go on the expedition, followed by Tan Zhen and Zhou Yan.

Before the war, the highest superior of his army came to offer condolences and encouragement, which was a great encouragement to Tan Zhen's cavalry battalion and Zheng Defeng's ghost army!

This time, Zheng Defeng recognized that the majestic general who was riding a Dawan good horse on the opposite side was called Lu Zhen, and Su Zedong not only told him the name of this person, but also instructed him to respect this person, because he still has humanity and conscience.

When Su Zedong was asked by Zheng Defeng why Lu Zhen still has humanity and conscience, the answer he got was:

has a self-motivated heart that relies on one's own efforts and does not infringe on the interests of others, has a heart that is passionate about the country and the people, and does all the things that are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, that is, humanity.

As for having a conscience, in Su Zedong's opinion, Lu Zhen was able to go against their sworn brothers above the imperial court, strongly recommended the family members of Dongzhen's mansion to join the troops to resist the Mongol attack, and also fully assisted the team that had never met for the first time!

This is to have a conscience!

But the person who leads the army to fight can't just have humanity and conscience, and he can only let the brothers under his command follow you with all his heart, and then on the battlefield, he really pays attention to the truth of success and defeat.

If Lu Zhen doesn't know any tactics and tactics, and can only order the soldiers to run wild, then his so-called conscience and humanity will become a weakness that kills people;

And if he can do it, he has both the conscience and humanity to appease his brothers, and the ability to resist foreign enemies, then he is a real general.

Facts have proved that Lu Zhen has these two aspects, from the time he saw the bow and crossbow needed for the siege brought by Zheng Defeng and others, he knew what the ghost army wanted to do, so he exchanged experience with Zheng Defeng as a "person who came over".

In Lu Zhen's view, crossbows, bows and other large ordnance are very powerful, but the operation is cumbersome, and the manpower required is also more, so it is generally used to siege cities and villages, and it is relatively rare to use them in plain operations, not to mention that it is extremely rare to use them to deal with cavalry.

Zhou Yan, who came with Lu Zhen, saw that Lu Zhen's views were consistent with them, so he was still talking to Zheng Defeng while his eldest brother was still talking;

He interjected and said, "The enemy you have to face today is the Mongol cavalry!" But you have to carry this bulky big guy to fight the Mongolian cavalry? Absurd. ”
