Chapter 81: Assault
Shen Jia hurried to the command post and saw that Chen Ce, He Shixian and others were there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 There is also a thin middle-aged man in the middle, with two handfuls of mustache at the corners of his mouth, and a smile in his eyes, chatting happily with He Shixian and others.
"Nephew Shen, come and meet your Uncle Hou."
Shen Jia hurriedly bowed down, but heard the thin middle-aged man laugh and said: "I heard that Shen Shi's nephew is injured, what kind of courtesy, we are all laymen, don't pay attention to this, I am Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Ningxia, I heard the name of overseas masters in Liaoyang, I have always been interested in visiting, how can I be busy with official business, come and come Shen Shinephew, let me take a closer look." ”
Shen Jia's face turned red, he didn't expect that after so long, he still couldn't escape the fate of being watched by a monkey show. Wandering around, finding that Chen Ce was hiding behind, Shen Jia hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Master Chen, I have something important to discuss." ”
When everyone heard that Shen Jia had something important, they hurriedly put away their jokes, and turned their heads to look at Shen Jia with puzzled expressions.
"Master Chen, I wonder if everyone is tired now? If there are still soldiers to fight, we will go to Tieling now, what do you think of the odds? ”
Chen Ce stared at Shen Jia and asked while thinking, "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell me and listen to them." ”
"Boss, after the battlefield is counted, we all know that the Tartars have lost a lot, and the Tartars who fled to Tieling want to drive back, at least one day, if we can concentrate the cavalry and set off at night, we can arrive at Fushun in the early morning, I have a second method to quickly break the door, it must not be difficult to give the Tartars a surprise, what does the Boss think?"
Hou Shilu on the side asked, "What if Fushun's Tartar goes and returns?" ”
"This is unlikely, the Tartars have already found reinforcements, if they can take Fushun, why should the Tartars wait for us to join forces? Even if the Tartars return, there are still 20,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of people in Fushun City, and it should not be difficult to deal with it for a while. And to attack Tieling, the most important thing is time, miss this opportunity, wait for the Tartars to recover their breath, and want to attack head-on, but it is even more difficult. ”
He Shixian was a little puzzled and asked, "You mean that the forces we use to attack Tieling will not exceed fifteen thousand?" Isn't it too little too little for men and horses to attack a city? ”
"Uncle He, it's not a lot at all, the Tartars are newly defeated, the army is unstable, we take the opportunity to launch a sudden attack, as long as we can quickly break through the city gate, the Tartars will inevitably be frightened, and they will inevitably flee again, and seize Tieling like a bag. Once we take Tieling, the Tartars will no longer be able to peep into Shenyang, and the next time we take Kaiyuan in one go, the Tartars will have to trap the mountains east of Fushun. ”
Chen Ce said suddenly: "It's easy to take the city, but if you want to hold on for a long time, I'm afraid it's not easy, our forces are so scattered that it's easy to be broken by the Tartars." ”
"Boss, this is no way to do it, if you don't capture Tieling, the Tartars in the direction of Tieling can attack Fushun on the one hand, and you can also harass Shenyang on the other hand, the position of Tieling is too important, no matter where you go, the cavalry is half a day's distance, you must guard against it."
"Boy, let me think again."
"Boss, you dared to go to the vicinity of Tieling to reconnoiter the situation with a few retinues a few days ago, why is it so twilight after only a few days?"
"You stinky boy, you dare to count the old man, soldiers are the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, how can you make a hasty decision! You go out and wait for a while, and let the old man discuss with Mr. He and Mr. Hou. ”
"Lord Chen!"
"Get out!"
Looking at Chen Ce, who looked stubborn, Shen Jia had no choice but to leave the hall unhappy. It was really boring to go around the courtyard alone, so Shen Jia wanted to go to the barracks to have a look. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Old Master Chen call him in, and Shen Jia ran into the house full of longing.
"Boy, we discussed it and decided to listen to your proposal, but you can't go this time, you just let Ding Jiaozhi take your recruits to go, the task is very simple, Ding Jiaozhi only needs to blow up the city gate, and leave the rest to General Hou."
"Why? It was an idea that I came up with, why can't I go? Could it be that you will make a fortune in Tieling, and leave me alone to suffer in Fushun! ”
He Shixian stood aside, smelled Shen Jia's mouthful of businessmen, and couldn't help yelling: "Lao Tzu is also in Fushun, and Master Chen is also there, what is the wealth that does not make a fortune, the soldiers are fast, you are injured, and it is also a drag on the team, you can stay in Fushun, we think you have a lot of ideas for defending the city, in case the Tartars come back, we can still compete with the Tartars." ”
Seeing He Shixian say this, Shen Jia had no choice but to turn his head to Chen Ce. The old fox was angry today, and when he saw that he had turned around, he immediately pretended not to be angry and arrogant, obviously hating himself for mocking him just now.
The happiest person in the hall was Hou Shilu. This old man complained at the beginning that he didn't play a tartar, but now that an opportunity for meritorious service was placed in front of him, Hou Shilu immediately smiled with a smug face. He Shixian couldn't see Hou Shilu's virtue the most, and said sarcastically: "You Shigong and Zhang Shi's brothers also went with you, they brought six thousand cavalry, don't be too happy too early, the cavalry is faster than you, maybe when you arrive, the city wall will have been replaced with the banner of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"I'm sorry, you're envious, jealous and hateful!"
Hou Shilu's Yulin words were weird, which made everyone laugh.
Seeing that Chen Ce and Hou Shilu were discussing the details of the march, Shen Jia left first under the pretext that there was something in the regiment. When Shen Jia was injured, Ding Zhizhi had already arranged the camp and properly resettled the soldiers who had been injured in the past few days. Last night's fighting was extremely hard, and the daredevils fell asleep after returning to the camp, and many of them had just woken up. Seeing Instructor Shen come in, everyone saluted. Shen Jia's right hand was injured, and as soon as he raised his arm, he felt that the wound was tearing. Shen Jia endured the pain and returned the salute one by one.
The recruits, who have been baptized on the battlefield, have become mature and calm, and everyone's faces are full of confidence. Shen Jia ordered each company to count the number of people, and soon Liu Wencai summarized the casualties of each company. The shocking numbers made Shen Jia feel heartache, one hundred and fifty-eight people were killed, and one hundred and forty people were seriously injured. When defending the east gate, Zeng Shi's four companies suffered the heaviest casualties, and the entire company alone had sixty-one casualties.
"Comrades, last night we experienced a hard-won victory, which we ourselves exchanged for blood and honor, but it is not over yet, after a while, Instructor Ding will lead the 1st, 5th and 6th companies out on a mission. At the same time, the commanders of the remaining companies should make statistics on the family situation and combat experience of the casualties, and the most important point is that they should take the platoon as a unit to discuss and sum up the good points of these battles and the bad points of these battles. ”
"Report, request to speak!"
"Permission!"
"Instructor Shen, Tong Erniu of our platoon is not good at speaking, but he fights bravely, I followed behind the Erniu brothers, and they all missed and killed a few Tartars, Tong Erniu fought well, but he won't summarize it!"
Shen Jia smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, don't you still have you, since you follow Tong Erniu, then you can summarize, don't you have a leak, by the way, also summarize the experience of picking up leaks!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
After speaking, Ding Jizhi left with three companies, and they would follow You Shigong's cavalry to attack Tieling. Several other company commanders were a little dissatisfied, thinking that Instructor Shen was favoritism. Shen Jia laughed at this and didn't say much.
Liu Wu, the commander of the first company, is a brave and resourceful person, enthusiastic and calm, and is a rare talent. Although it is a pity that I can't go to Tieling, with Liu Wu here, it must be okay to blast the city gate. Even if there is an accident, it must not be difficult to get out of the way.
In the previous battles, the fifth and sixth companies did not have many opportunities to show up, and the recruits endured very little hardship, and even when they volunteered to sign up for the death squad last night, the ratio of the fifth and sixth companies was significantly lower than that of other companies. This is a very bad phenomenon, Shen Jia doesn't want to raise old soldiers, so the fifth and sixth companies must undergo another test.
Before leaving, Shen Jia specially told Ding to tiptoe, hoping that the fifth and sixth companies would go up at a critical time. Ding Jiaozhi naturally understood the meaning of this.
However, Shen Jia didn't intend to say these words in front of everyone, he just smiled to hide what he thought in his heart.
After sending Ding Jiao away, Shen Jia took the records of the fallen martyrs and began to write the notices of the fallen martyrs one by one. Thinking of the comrades-in-arms who were still alive a few days ago, at this time they described their heroic deeds through a notice, and as soon as they were halfway written, Shen Jia could not continue. Angry, Shen Jia crumpled the paper on the table, and he leaned back in his chair, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Brother Xiao Jia, go and call Liu Wencai from the second company and Wu Zhiwen from the third company, and then you go to each company to ask if there are any people who can write, and call them all for me."
Soon, Liu Wencai and Wu Zhiwen came over.
"Brother Liu, sit, brother-in-law, you sit too, this is a big tent, there are no outsiders, you don't have to see outside."
Wu Zhiwen glanced at Shen Jia cautiously, and after making sure that this was not a trap, he sat down on the chair.
Liu Wencai was unmoved, these days he gritted his teeth step by step and persevered, Shen Jia suddenly showed goodwill, he didn't feel much about it. On the contrary, Liu Wencai was even a little dissatisfied with Shen Jia's practice of throwing him in the company and being like a passerby.
"Two, these are the martyrs' death notices, please help me write them, I can't write well, and I can't get on the stage."
Liu Wencai was a little curious, he got closer to see it clearly. But the table was all blank sheets of paper, without any formatting. Shen Jia knew what Liu Wencai wanted, so in desperation, he had to reopen the crumpled paper and give a brief explanation to the two of them.
"Instructor Shen, do you need to be so troublesome? It seems that the Ming Dynasty has never issued a notice of martyrs in the past. ”
Liu Wencai was a little suspicious of Shen Jia's intentions, such fanfare, if it was just a gimmick, it would be too meaningless.
"Brother Liu, it's because I didn't have it in the past that I want to do it. I don't think it will solve the difficulties they face, because the family has lost a strong laborer, and in the event of a natural or man-made disaster, they will have nothing to rely on. I will stamp these notices with a big seal, and if the family members have any difficulties, as long as they come to see me, I will definitely find a way to help them solve them. In the future, our team will be expanded, and the number of people will increase, and I will definitely not remember so many people, so I will have to rely on this notice with a big seal at that time. ”
Liu Wencai's heart sank, and the scene of the bloody battle in the past few days flashed in his mind again, he was full of blood, and couldn't help but say: "This is a good thing, Instructor Shen, I'll write it." ”
Shen Jia was very satisfied with Liu Wencai's performance, he nodded, and looked at Wu Zhiwen again. Wu Zhiwen, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, heard the two of them stop talking, and hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw Shen Jia's sharp gaze sweeping towards him, and he hurriedly said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, what do you want me to do, just say it, don't look at me like this." ”
Shen Jia's face was slightly stagnant, and he said that everyone had sold his sister to him, and he couldn't force him too much, so he couldn't hold back a smile and said: "Comrade Liu Wencai wants to write a notice, you come to help him and listen to his arrangement." ”
Wu Zhiwen hurriedly agreed. At this time, three more literate people came in outside the big tent, and Shen Jia asked them to assist Liu Wencai together.
Shen Jia glanced at Liu Wencai thoughtfully, and said in his heart that it was time, so he said loudly: "Liu Wencai, you are ready to prepare, three days later, you will serve as the political commissar of the second company, responsible for the daily ideological work of the soldiers, and at the same time understand what the soldiers think, help them solve difficulties, and summarize the problems encountered in daily work and report to me." ”
Liu Wencai was a little sluggish, he didn't understand what kind of role the "political commissar" was.
"Instructor Shen, the work of this political commissar seems to be a bit abstract, how can I start doing it?"
"Don't worry, you finish the matter at hand first, and I'll tell you more when the time comes."
Letting the political commissar of the company share the daily ideological work of the soldiers and help them solve problems is an important problem to face for a long time to come. Shen Jia has been planning for a long time, but he has never been able to find a suitable person. This time, each platoon will organize some deeds report meetings, hoping to discover some enthusiastic elements who can speak well, so that the skeleton of the future group can be erected.
