Chapter 127: Effectiveness
"The surname is Li, we usually treat you well-!" As soon as the words fell, Deputy Wanhu Baoyin shouted and scolded. If it weren't for Xu Hongsan's death, he would not have been able to kill Baihu Li Qi on the spot immediately.
"Zhu Dudu didn't ask for our redemption money just now, but we can't be like this ourselves!" Li Qi, a hundred households of the Han army, glanced back at him and responded confidently. Immediately, he turned his gaze to Zhu Bayi, and Xun added: "That Huaidong Lian visited the deputy envoy Chu Buha hates your red scarf the most, and after receiving the warning signal sent by Han Xincheng, he will definitely bring someone to rescue him immediately."
"The surname is Li, Lao Tzu wants to cut you with a thousand knives!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an angry roar. Several of the Mongol soldiers who had surrendered with Bao Yin shouted, struggling to stop Li Qi from continuing to betray his family.
"I'll talk about it when you get back to the court!" Li Qi glanced back at Deputy Qianhu Baoyin again, his face full of disbelief. "Lao Tzu didn't intend to surrender, but you took the lead for Lao Tzu. Naturally, you'll be fine when you go back, and we, Zhao Qianhu, are dead!! ”
At this moment, Deputy Qianhu Baoyin and all the Mongolian soldiers became dumb, and the words of accusation could no longer be spoken. They are all Mongols, and after redeeming themselves, of course, they can continue to return to the court and do whatever they want. Centurion Li Qi, on the other hand, was a Han Chinese and did not have the privilege of being above the law. According to the military law of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the commander Zhao Wandong was killed in battle, and the centurion Li Qi could only sacrifice his life to retrieve his body. Otherwise, no matter what means are used to leave the battlefield safely, what awaits him is the fate of being beheaded and shown to the public, and there is no possibility of being forgiven at all.
Therefore, the moment Baihu Li Qi put down his weapon, he was destined to be unable to turn back. In this case, it is better to go one step further, completely tie yourself to the chariot of the Red Turban Army, and bet on his personal death!
"How many people will Chu Buha bring here?!" Zhu Eighty-one didn't have time to delve into why Li Qi worked so hard to help him, frowned, and asked quickly.
"At least five thousand! He has recently taken a relationship with detachment, and he didn't pay attention to the Dalu Hua Chi Zhi Dou on Huai'an Road at all. So if you don't come, it's enough, if you want to come, at least you can bring seventy percent of the soldiers and horses on Huai'an Road?! Li Qi thought for a moment and replied quickly.
"So much?!" Zhu Bayi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He remembered that when Lu Lu had given him advice, he had told him personally. At present, the defenders of Huai'an City are only in their early 3,500s. How come he killed at least 1,500 people in Han Xin City, and there are still 7 or 8,000 people left on the defenders' side?!
"Originally, there weren't so many!" Anxious to show something in front of Zhu Bayi, Li Qi, a hundred households of the Han army, thought about it again and added loudly, "The Han army and the Mongolian soldiers in Huai'an City together turned out to be only more than 3,000 people. Coupled with the tax collectors mastered by Liu Tietou, he couldn't make up 4,000 if he died. But since I heard that Yuekuo Cha'er had been defeated by you, Chu Buha began to expand his army. He also ordered the construction of many beacon towers along the Yellow River, from Huai'an to Suqian. It's just that I never expected that the governor would leave Suqian behind you and go directly to Han Xincheng! ”
"Shhh Zhu Bayi gasped. This is a big trouble, Old Man Lu's intelligence is not accurate, and the enemy army is twice as many as expected. And on his side, the soldiers, the soldiers, and the grenadiers combined, they were only in their early 1,300s. The rest are all auxiliaries who are only trained once every five days, and their combat effectiveness is not the same as that of the first three.
"It's just a rabble of five thousand, let's open the city gate now and go up to meet them, just to catch them off guard!" Wu Liangmou's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he took the lead in giving Zhu Eighty-one an idea.
"It's better to defend the city!" Geng Zaicheng thought about it and retorted loudly. "We have few soldiers, and we have no chance of winning in the field. Swing your cannons and arquebuses on the walls and wait for your work. After consuming part of the enemy's strength, the last general and Staff Officer Hu led a part of the dead soldiers to suddenly open the city gate and kill them, maybe they can catch the enemy by surprise! ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Eighty-one groaned in a low voice. Geng Zaicheng said that it was indeed a relatively safe idea. Although the Red Turban Army has few troops, with the advantage of firearms, it still has the hope of fighting the enemy for a defensive counterattack.
"You can't do that!" Before he could make a decision, Xu Da suddenly ran over from the side and retorted loudly, "Governor, the last general thinks that Wu's method of joining the army is worth trying." Although the enemy army is large in number, the ranks are mixed with old and new, and the morale may not be high, and the command may not be smooth and satisfactory. And although the number of our troops sounds less than half of the enemy's, it is at the height of its morale with the threat of successive victories. Before Chu Buha was killed, he drove outside the city to meet him, just enough to catch him off guard. And if the city is defended, in case Chu Buha refuses to attack the city, but sets up camp and mobilizes salt from the surrounding prefectures and counties to help in the battle. If we stay in Hanshin City for one more day, our hopes of winning will be reduced by one percent! ”
It was rare for him to be sober-minded, and in a few words, he actually analyzed the benefits and disadvantages of the two combat plans clearly. That Zhu Eighty-one is not stupid, and when he heard this, he immediately had an idea in his heart. nodded, and ordered loudly: "Okay, then the whole army will attack!" Hong San, you go and inform Hu Dahai and ask him to open the city gate immediately. Then let Ivan and Li Ziyu bring the grenadiers down and go out of the city with the others to meet the enemy. ”
"Yes!" Xu Hongsan agreed, left the angry Deputy Wanhu Baoyin, and ran towards the city gate.
"You guys, go and gather all the soldiers and auxiliaries at once!" Without waiting for his back to go far, Zhu Bayi Xun turned his gaze to Wu Liangmou, Xu Da, Liu Ziyun, Geng Zaicheng and others, "I don't know where the enemy army has gone right now, and it may not be too late to send scouts out immediately." Therefore, although we are fighting in the field this time, we can't waste our body running against the enemy. Just put the team under the walls, and then, you see."
Using the pig-killing knife specially made for him by the craftsmen to compare and draw on the ground, Zhu Bayi Xun arranged the troops. It's still not very skilled, but it's much more efficient than the previous times. And from Geng Zaicheng and Xu Da's construction, each of them drew a part. It makes both of them feel valued.
"Governors, governors, small, small ones are also willing to wear crimes, wear crimes and make meritorious contributions!" Seeing that Zhu Eighty-one was arranged in an orderly manner, Li Qi, a hundred households of the Han army, turned his heart sideways and half-knelt on the ground to plead.
"The Governor is gracious, and I can't repay it. Willing to fight to the death with the Governor of the Metropolitan and fight to the death with the enemy who is coming! Several other captured Han soldiers looked at each other, knelt on the ground, and took the initiative to ask for help.
It's not that they were moved quickly, but that Meng Yuan's military discipline was really a bit unkind. In case the Xuzhou red scarf is driven away, everyone will fall into the hands of Chu Buha again, and there is a chance that it will be a dead end. It's better to simply help the Red Turban Army kill Chu Buha, so that the adults and children at home can change peace.
"Will you help me?!" Zhu Bayi was stunned, a little undecided. Speaking from the heart, this group of Han troops is not too bad in terms of combat effectiveness and toughness. But what if they are at a critical moment, they will give themselves another make-by-the-ground defection?
"When the battle is engaged in a while, the villain is willing to personally lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for the governor!" Li Qi, a hundred households in the Han army, turned his mind very quickly, and when he saw Zhu Bayi's face, he immediately understood how he could win the trust of the other party.
"The little one asks himself if his martial arts are still over, and he is willing to be the governor's personal soldier!" The other two centurions immediately changed their tunes, trying to use themselves as hostages to give their brothers a chance to change their expressions!
If these people are left in Hanxin City, the hidden danger may be even greater. Zhu Bayi thought for a while and nodded heavily, "Okay, Zhu doesn't need you to be a personal soldier." Later, you can call all the brothers who are willing to fight against the Tartars with Zhu, and follow behind Zhu. Those who are not willing to fight against the Tartars, let them leave immediately, and no one is allowed to stay in Hanxin City! ”
After saying that, he swept his gaze to the hateful Baoyin and the others, and commanded loudly, "Escort them all and go out of the city together." Zhu asked them to see with their own eyes how the Xuzhou red scarf was cleaned up today! ”
"Yes!" Li Qi and the other generals excitedly agreed, turned around and ran to recruit men. Xu Da, Geng Zaicheng, Wu Liangmou and others gathered the soldiers and auxiliaries, escorted the Mongolian deputy Wanhu Baoyin and his cronies, and drove quickly outside the city.
A team of nearly four thousand people, carefully deployed, is not a very easy task. Almost at the same time that everyone had just adjusted the firepower and team in place according to Zhu Bayi's arrangement. Not far ahead, the sound of horses' hooves was already heard.
"Five hundred cavalry, more than a thousand iron armor, and more than three thousand light armored foot soldiers!" Wu Liangmou, who was standing on the enemy tower, opened his throat and reported loudly what he saw.
"Five hundred cavalry, more than a thousand iron armor, and more than three thousand light armored foot soldiers!" More than 20 specially selected loud-voiced auxiliaries, each holding an iron horn, repeated with all their strength. Inform all the brethren in the battle below the city of the enemy's situation.
"Archers, less than three hundred archers! Hidden near the handsome banner of Chubuha! In addition, the cavalry each carried a horned bow! Wu Liangmou opened his throat again and added the details of his observations in a timely manner.
"Archers, less than three hundred archers," the auxiliaries repeated mechanically, their voices full of nervousness, but they all straightened their chests.
"The enemy has stopped at five hundred paces! They're in the whole team! They've already shown us, ready to take on the battle as a team! ”
"The enemy is 500 paces away"
"Cavalry, the first they sent out were cavalry. On each flank, there were four hundred-men to echo the cavalry. ”
"Cavalry"
"Archers, enemy archers are advancing, keeping a distance of one hundred and fifty paces from the cavalry. Immediately behind the archers were five hundred spearmen."
"Archers, archers of the enemy"
In the repetition of the machine, the chests of the soldiers and auxiliaries straightened and straightened, and the expressions on their faces became more and more confident. Isn't it just a battle, what a big deal?! We can see every move of the enemy army clearly, but what is hidden on our side, the other side does not know at all!
