Chapter 852: Qingtaiyu Fort
~~~~~~
Li Yuanqing looked at Yang Miaocai with a smile, "I've had breakfast, let's finish it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBrother Miaocai, if you are uncomfortable, remember to speak to me at any time. ”
Yang Miaocai hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Yuanqing respectfully, "Thank you Li Shuai for your care." On the younger brother's side, it should still be able to hold on. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, patted Yang Miaocai's shoulder, and said nothing more.
After breakfast, the sons began to pack up the camp and feed the horses.
Because today's war horses have to run long distances, they must increase their nutrition, not only to eat grass, but also to add some beans.
Although these tasks are familiar to the sentry who lives on horseback all year round, for most generals, it is still a process that needs to be learned.
Yang Miaocai soon discovered this as well.
He suddenly realized that this trip seemed to be an extremely difficult challenge for the world-famous Immortal Camp.
However, although the generals were hand-held, everyone was very calm, and there were sentry detectives constantly explaining the essentials of feeding war horses, and Yang Miaocai was also listening carefully.
In fact, there is no coincidence in this thing, the key is a familiar process, people must be familiar with war horses, and war horses must also be familiar with people.
In addition, Li Yuanqing has plenty of time here, although the rhythm is a little tight, but everything is not in a hurry.
At the end of the day, the entire camp had been cleaned up, Li Yuanqing waved his hand, and the team set off all the way to the northeast.
…………
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five or six days have passed.
In the evening, the team came to a relatively wide river to rest.
After these days, Yang Miaocai has basically adapted to the extremely tight marching life in the barracks.
His skin was a little drier than before, and he had been tanned a lot, although he was still very handsome, but a vague masculinity had begun to spread on his body and gradually appeared outward.
At this time, the team had arrived at the upper reaches of the Whistle River, more than ten miles northeast of the front, that is, Houjin in this area, a relatively important Tunpu and Qingtaiyu Fort.
This is also the first fort that the Ming army must take on this trip.
Not long after, the outpost at the front came back with the news that near Qingtaiyu Fort, it was the autumn harvest, and many Tartars were guarding the crops that had just been harvested outside the fort, and their defense line was not complete, just suitable for the cavalry raid.
After arriving at the river to rest, this was also the first time, Li Yuanqing did not order the sons to pack up firewood to boil hot water and eat hot rice, but let the sons and daughters eat dry cakes with canned crispy fish and pickles, and never drink raw water, only cold boiled water filled with their respective kettles.
Before, Yang Miaocai was still very unconcerned about Li Yuanqing's requirements for these harsh details in the team, thinking that Li Yuanqing was doing this redundantly.
But as Yang Miaocai stayed in the team for longer and longer, and became more and more familiar with Li Yuanqing's behavior, he realized that although it was just a few small details, Li Yuanqing had already opened up the gap with the generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Drinking raw water in such weather makes people easily sick, especially diarrhea.
In ordinary times, diarrhea can make people want to die, not to mention, in the process of going out at this time.
Drinking hot water is a good way to avoid this trouble.
It had been seven or eight days since the expedition, but almost no one in the entire team was sick.
Even if someone is sick, drink a few bowls of hot broth, sweat a little, and get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow morning will be fine.
For Yang Miaocai, although he is still a little uncomfortable with this kind of life, he is telling him in his bones that he has faintly liked this kind of life.
Especially today, Li Yuanqing is about to launch an offensive against the Tunpu of the Houjin army. Yang Miaocai can't wait to see what Li Yuanqing, who is in the world, should do?
After a brief dinner, Li Yuanqing convened a 'general level' combat meeting.
Of course, these officers at the general level, who are only in the ranks of military schools, are placed in the army, and almost all of them are the main generals of the first army.
Yang Miaocai's performance these days, although it is not too outstanding, he finally did not drag everyone back, he was decent, and he also won the respect of the generals.
This time, he was also invited to participate in the most critical combat meeting before the war.
Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Yang Miaocai, plus nine generals and more than 20 general officers, a total of less than 30 people, gathered in a circle, carefully listening to Chen Zhong holding the map and analyzing the combat intentions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the surrounding terrain of this Qingtaiyu Fort is very flat, and there are almost no obstacles. In the morning, the two sentry posts here have been taken by us. Our next task is to cut off the back road of Qingtaiyu Fort, take down this fort, and replenish supplies. By the way, the sentry in front has just sent back the news, in this fort, I am afraid that there are more than 100 war horses, these are all treasures. We can't let them go! ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Chen Zhong said again: "According to the discussion between me and Yuanqing, the time of this assault is set at the middle of the hour. However, at that time, we will have to climb over a few dense forests and small dirt slopes on this side. Be prepared! ”
"Yes." No one dared to slack off.
After Chen Zhong finished speaking, Li Yuanqing glanced at everyone and said, "Now let's start assigning tasks." ”
"Yes."
Li Yuanqing spread out the map and drew a line with charcoal in the north of Qingtaiyubao, "Kong Youde, Chen Changyou." ”
"Humble duty."
Kong Youde and Chen Changyou hurriedly came out.
"The two of you are the vanguard, cut in from behind in advance, and cut off the connection between the Tartar and the back first. Remember, the main thing is to drive them away, don't fall in love, drive them apart, and then, meet in the direction of the fort. ”
"Yes."
"Duan Xiliang, Xun Meng!"
…………
After the assignment of tasks, the ministries quickly began to operate.
Although Yang Miaocai wanted to participate in the battle very, very much, he also understood that with his status, it was almost impossible.
He hesitated several times, and wanted to open his mouth to Li Yuanqing, but he never mustered up the courage.
However, in these days of military life, Yang Miaocai has also learned to be obedient.
He understands very well that in Li Yuanqing's army, military orders are like a mountain, and Li Yuanqing's military orders are beyond doubt, although he Yang Miaocai has no way to resist, he can closely follow Li Yuanqing's side.
Yang Miaocai believes that this is just the beginning, as long as he can show qualified strength, one day, Li Yuanqing will definitely let him come to the battlefield in person.
Because of the preparation for war, the soldiers ate very simply, but the war horses were fed very finely.
As the generals of all the ministries began to carry out their tasks, the camp of the Ming army also quickly began to operate.
But except for the shouts of the generals, few others spoke, which seemed to be a little chaotic, but in fact, it was orderly.
Soon, the night was already dark.
Yang Miaocai was also folding his fingers, quietly waiting for the arrival of combat time.
When he first entered Hai, about a little after nine o'clock, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to greet Yang Miaocai and the Chinese troops left behind around him, "Let's go too." ”
Yang Miaocai didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly led his war horse, and quickly followed behind Li Yuanqing.
At this time, it is early autumn, and the surrounding woods are dense, lush and vibrant. However, the sentry in front had already cleared the path and led the horse over, so there was no need to waste too much effort.
It's just that when he walked with the horse at night, he couldn't light the fire, and Yang Miaocai was still slightly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he is a person before and after, as long as he follows, he will not go wrong.
Soon, the group passed through the dense forest and came to a wilderness.
It is a small hillside, and the terrain is relatively high.
Standing here, you can already vaguely see that five or six miles ahead, there are faint fragments of fire.
Li Yuanqing said to Yang Miaocai with a smile: "Brother Miaocai, over there is the firelight, which is the stronghold of the Tartars guarding the crops. ”
Yang Miaocai's heart was about to rush to his throat, he never dreamed that one day, he would be so close to the battlefield.
His throat was a little dry and said, "Li Shuai, then, when will we start charging?" If you charge, is it a little farther away from five or six miles? ”
Li Yuanqing smiled.
After all, Yang Miaocai is a talented man who has studied and received 'higher education', and his understanding is much higher than that of most officers.
To some extent, Li Yuanqing was also happy to mention him.
smiled: "Charge in the dark, three or four miles is good." However, this is also inconclusive. The key is to look at the topography. If the terrain is flat, we can still rush over here now. But at this time, on the side of the Chinese army, there are only more than 100 of us, and we are not responsible for the main attack task, so Brother Miaocai can just watch it with peace of mind. ”
"Huh? Li Shuai, let's, let's not charge? ”
Yang Miaocai was a little disappointed for a while, but after a moment, he came back to his senses, and he could stand beside Li Yuanqing, standing from Li Yuanqing's perspective, looking down on the entire battlefield, in the world, there are not many people with this qualification, right?
Yang Miaocai hurriedly and respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Li Shuai, little brother, everything is up to your orders." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, didn't say much, took out the pocket watch from the cloth bag on his waist, and played quietly.
Around, except for the occasional snorting of war horses, there are also some small insects chirping, as if there is no human voice.
Soon, the time had come to the middle of the day.
Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Send a signal." ”
"Yes."
Behind him, the two officers had already prepared to make a sharp move, and in a moment, 'whoosh', accompanied by three shining signal flares, rose violently into the night sky, and in front of them, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly began to be heard.
In a short time, the sound of the horses' hooves of the cavalry made the whole earth tremble.
Yang Miaocai's nerves had already risen to his throat and eyes, and he looked at Li Yuanqing beside him.
Li Yuanqing had already turned over his horse at this time, and said to Yang Miaocai with a smile: "Brother Miaocai, follow me, let's go to the front line and watch this battle!" ”
