Chapter 394: The Disaster of the Three Battalions

I was worried that the ambush would come in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect it to come in the evening. It is probably guessed that the enemy is underestimating the enemy, so before the right time, at least the mission is unprepared to attack, then the effect may be better.

However, judging from the battle just now, the soldiers of the large battalion are well-trained, and even if they are prepared, they are instantaneous, so even if it is a late-night attack, the effect is actually not great.

Simply cleaned the battlefield and captured a lot of weapons, but because they were all bows and arrows, scimitars, and some armor, they were not very useful for the mission, so they had to choose to give up.

Instead, a few dead horses were brought back, and the guards, with Li Rusong's approval, skinned the dead horses and roasted them, but let the soldiers who had just finished fighting a full meal.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Wuyan also roughly observed these soldiers. They rarely talk on weekdays, and as soon as they have time to rest, they practice martial arts, and in short, they rarely talk lazily.

Seeing this scene, Shen Wuyan was sure that the reason why he won the battle just now was no accident.

These soldiers are still different from the soldiers in the big battalion, in the past few years, Gyeonggi has been stable, and the big camp is also rotten, and empty salaries abound, and they are not able to be appointed at all.

However, there are exceptions to everything, if the so-called will be a nest of bears, but if it will be mighty, then the soldiers under his command will naturally be mighty and fierce.

If this is the case with the Shenji Battalion under Xu Guangyuan, the Shenji Battalion has become more and more well-equipped in recent years, whether it is muskets or artillery, they are all superior weapons, and the soldiers are also diligent in training, so the combat effectiveness is naturally very strong.

And Li Rusong brought out this excellent team, in fact, it was very remarkable, when the southeast was fighting against the Japanese, they fought with the Qi army, and then transferred back to the capital and handed over to Li Rusong to manage.

Therefore, speaking of which, this team is only a team of the big battalion in name, but in fact, it is all under the command of Li Rusong. Whether it is military training or everything in Pingsuri, he is personally responsible.

Li Rusong was born in Liaodong, and when he was very young, he went on expeditions with Li Chengliang and fought against the Mongols repeatedly. He has been ruthless since he was a child, and he is also well versed in the training of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, the team under his command is like a pack of wolves on the grassland, ordinary and motionless, but once they get up, they will not set off a bloody storm and will not stop.

Coupled with the exquisite coordination and just the right cut, it will not give the enemy the slightest chance to react, and a series of attacks will make the enemy have not recovered and have already been defeated.

So much so that after this battle, only five infantry of the Ming army suffered some minor injuries, and they only needed to rub some medicine, which was irrelevant.

By the end of the battle, it was already dark, and after the defense was redeployed, many traps were dug nearby to prevent an enemy from sneaking up late at night, and the soldiers on patrol remained the same.

Shen Wuyan and the others were also able to return to the collapsed floor that had already been paved in the lobby, and they would rest for a while.

However, Lord Yang was quite energetic at this time, he looked at everyone with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "This official looks...... It is not advisable to stay here for a long time...... We need to pack up quickly and rush overnight. ”

Li Rusong, who had just returned to the lobby after the deployment, heard Lord Yang's words, and immediately chuckled lightly, and sneered: "Isn't Lord Yang afraid? ”

Lord Yang was about to ridicule him, but when he found out that it was Li Rusong, he had to retract his harsh words and just said, "Everyone, look...... The art of war is cloudy, and the whole division avoids the enemy. The left time is not to blame, and it is not abnormal. …… Now that we are in this dangerous place, the enemy has found out the truth of you and me, and they have suffered great humiliation during the day, and will surely return at night to take revenge...... It's better for us to avoid their edge first, and we are definitely not afraid of them. ”

Shen Wuyan, who was flipping through the book, was stunned when he heard Lord Yang's sudden sentence on the art of war. Generally speaking, his sentence is the meaning of sixteen plans and going up, but it makes everyone hear it, but it has the meaning of escaping.

Listening to Lord Yang's words, Li Ruxuan, who was sitting in front of the chair drinking water, couldn't help laughing, and he said lightly: "What Lord Yang said is actually reasonable...... However, the art of war has clouds, and the void is false, and doubts arise from doubts. When it is rigid and soft, it is strange and strange. …… The Jurchens suffered a great loss during the day, and we already knew their intentions, but we still stayed here...... They didn't dare to come rashly......"

Lord Yang was stunned for a moment, he was familiar with the way of the sages, and after serving as the squire of the military department, he often read some of the ways of the art of war, and also sat down with his colleagues to discuss the way, but he never practiced it.

At this time, the meaning of Li Ruxuan's words was to put on an empty plan, so that the Jurchens did not dare to step forward, so as to deter the enemy.

The other party's words were also quite reasonable, and Lord Yang was speechless for a while, then nodded and said with a wry smile: "Since that's the case...... That's how ......"

In fact, Shen Wuyan understood what Lord Yang meant, before the war broke out today, he was about to flee, almost losing face, as the main envoy of the mission, he had no prestige in the mission, so he just wanted to save face again.

Thinking like this, Shen Wuyan hurriedly shook his head, with a straight face, and said, "You can't say it like that...... If you want to make a plan for the city, you shouldn't put up any defenses...... Xiao Li should go and remove all the defenses, and there is no need for soldiers to patrol ......"

Listening to the words, there was a sudden turnaround, Lord Yang suddenly got up from the ground, listened to Shen Wuyan again, and said loudly: "Actually, Lord Yang's consideration is not unreasonable, the enemy must be unwilling now, after all, he lost so badly...... But it was dark by this time...... I want to catch up, but it's also difficult...... Staying here is also forced to do nothing. ”

In this way, Lord Yang was immediately pleased, looking at Shen Wuyan with appreciation, although he did not speak, his face was obviously happy.

Li Rusongben was a little annoyed when he heard Shen Wuyan's strong argument, but when he glanced at Shen Wuyan's expression, he immediately understood, nodded and said in a deep voice: "When Mr. Shen said this, he also felt like this...... But I didn't expect Lord Yang to have such attainments along with the art of war, please forgive the juniors for being rude......"

Li Ruxuan had not yet come back to his senses, and he was a little curious when he heard the words of the two, and saw Li Rusong squeezing his eyebrows, but he didn't want to tease Lord Yang, so he just shook his head with a smile and drank the tea in the cup again.

However, Yang, who was sitting on the side, looked impatient, although he did not understand the art of war, he also knew that it was not a good thing to rush overnight. In addition, he was straight, but he couldn't hear the meaning of Shen Wuyan's words, so he muttered to himself: "What kind of art of war is this...... It's to send ...... to death."

The room was not big, and Yang sat next to Lord Yang, so when Yang spoke, Lord Yang could hear it clearly, so as soon as he heard this, Lord Yang was immediately angry and shouted: "You know a fart...... A general like Master Li said that what the old man said was reasonable, what qualifications do you have to say that the old man is sent to death? ”

Yang also refused to give in, muttering and shouting: "It is to send you to death, how can there be a reason to march tired overnight...... The environment in the wasteland is different, and I don't know ...... in the middle of the night If you are bumped into by the enemy, you will definitely die......"

Hearing that the two of them began to argue over this matter, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and immediately stopped paying attention to the two of them and walked towards Li Ruxuan's table.

"The Queen of Heaven should be able to go to Hedu to replenish dry food and baggage...... On this day, we had to sleep in the wilderness, but the weather was good...... It shouldn't rain......"

Li Ruxuan knew the terrain very well here, so he was in charge of the guide, and when he heard Shen Wuyan say this, he just nodded, and there was no objection.

"Dry food can last for the day, and there should be water along the way...... Hedu ...... There are also some things to be aware of when crossing the river. ”

Li Rusong didn't have an opinion on this, because although there was a problem with the map, he seemed to remember another thing, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have to cross the water?" ”

Shen Wuyan nodded, as if he guessed what Li Rusong was worried about, and just smiled bitterly: "This can only be crossed...... If you go around, it will be delayed for more than ten days......"

After a pause, Shen Wuyan continued: "Most of the soldiers in the battalion are from the north, and the water quality is poor...... If they are in the water, it will not be easy to deal with. ”

As the commander of the large battalion, Li Rusong naturally knew this, he pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "The Jurchens are not good at fighting on the water...... I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that in case ......"

Without waiting for Li Rusong to finish speaking, Shen Wuyan hurriedly said: "But there may not be an ambush in Hedu...... After all, they have been hit so hard today, and they will be a little afraid of my Ming Guowei. ”

In fact, Shen Wuyan was not more worried about the Jurchens, but the traitors from the Li Dynasty. The Jurchens have been riding and shooting for generations, although they are not good at fighting on the water, but if the rebels of the Li Dynasty come to fight, it is another matter.

Shen Wuyan didn't say these thoughts, but Li Rusong didn't know it, he didn't mention it at this time, just because he was afraid that Lord Yang on the side would hear it and shake the army's heart.

So Nei used the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to change the topic, and the two of them also laughed, and they didn't seem to want to stay on this topic for a long time.

However, it can make Li Rusong so jealous, and it also shows that Hedu must be a dangerous place, and it is also the place that Steward Wu sent to deliberately mark with a red cross on the map, and according to the previous events, it is certain that there must be an ambush.

Now for Shen Wuyan, the situation is like knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and he still wants to go to the tiger mountain, so his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

He should have informed everyone that he knew that Hedu was in danger, but he was worried that speaking out would shake the morale of the army, and since the mission had already left the city, he could not go back, so he could only conceal it for the time being.

Compared with Shen Wuyan, although Li Ruxuan's face was always indifferent and he didn't ask much, he could also detect some abnormalities in his understanding of the two people around him, but he didn't ask much, since the two of them didn't say it, they had their reasons.

Thinking about it like this, his fatigue rose sharply, Shen Wuyan lay down, listening to the dispute between Lord Yang and Yang on the side, and after a while, he was already drowsy.

I didn't sleep well, and I was still thinking about how to deal with the trouble of Hedu, so I got up early in the morning, and finally thought of a wonderful way before leaving.
