Chapter 50: The Expedition
This chamber is the product of Wang Yue's renovation of the palace, and at this moment in this chamber is the core layer of the entire palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info includes Li Yu, Wang Youhua, Goudan, and officers at all levels, counting Wang Yue, a total of 31 people. Among them, Wang Yue sat in the first place, and the rest of the seats surrounded the open space in the middle in a circle, Li Yu and others and above the battalion commander level sat in the first row, and the company platoon commander sat in the second row.
"Li Yu, you come and tell everyone about the situation." Wang Yue did not waste any time in these three months, since the prefect got the task of suppressing bandits, Wang Yue asked Li Yu to start collecting information on Beishan.
"Okay."
Li Yu stood up, walked from his seat to the central open space, and said, "Three months ago, the regiment commander instructed me to inquire about the situation on the North Mountain. The situation we know now is as follows: First, there is a bandit called the three-pronged village entrenched on the north mountain, relying on natural danger to live, which is the goal of our mission this time. There are three owners in this three-pronged village, namely the big village master Scar, the second village master one-eyed and the third village master one hand, and there are about 2,000 thieves on the cottage. Second, this three-pronged village is located on the top of Beishan Mountain, there is only one road up and down, as for whether there are other paths, I don't know yet, we have too little time to find these. Third, it is said that 5,000 officers and soldiers once surrounded and suppressed this group of bandits, but they returned in vain! After saying that, Li Yu returned to his seat and sat down.
"What a joke! The bandits that 5,000 officers and soldiers have not taken down, let us 1,000 people, don't you tease us? As soon as Li Yu sat down, Wang Youhua began to shout.
Wang Yue waved his hand at Wang Youhua and motioned for him to sit down, and now the wood is complete. I have already taken over this task, so I have to complete it, otherwise I am afraid that my work of temporarily suppressing bandits will be lost, and the ironclad army I recruited will be in danger of disbanding.
"Okay, we've taken over this matter, and we can't change it, so let's discuss how to win this battle." Wang Yue said to everyone.
At this time, Yue Yun stood up and said, "That's right, it is a big crime to recruit soldiers privately. Now the prefect took care of the regiment commander and gave the regiment commander a recruitment in the name of suppressing bandits. But this Xingyuan Mansion is not only the prefect's, the prefect also needs an interface to block the mouths of the people. It is conceivable that if the adults lose this battle, they will lose this position, and they are afraid that the ironclad army will also be disbanded. In addition, this is the first battle of the Ironclad Army, if this battle is lost, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Ironclad Army, and it will affect a series of things such as recruiting troops in the future! ”
When everyone heard Yue Yun's analysis, they felt that it made a lot of sense. Besides, now that he finally has some rights, how can he be willing to lose them like this.
"Then Second Lieutenant Yue, what do you think we should do?" At this time, some people asked, they didn't want to lose the power in their hands before they were hot.
"I don't know this, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and I can only take one step at a time." Yue Yun lowered his head and said slowly, then suddenly raised his head and said categorically: "Actually, we don't have to worry about those 2,000 bandits at all, the bandits are all unorganized people, and they don't bother to strike a blow at all under the attack of the regular army. As for the 5,000 officers and soldiers who did not succeed in suppressing the bandits, I think it should be the fault of the officers and soldiers themselves! ”
This sentence woke up Wang Yue.
"That's right, I'm in the Southern Song Dynasty now, and the combat effectiveness of the army at this time is very weak, plus the general is cowardly, so it has to be said that the 5,000 officers and soldiers didn't go up the mountain to suppress bandits."
Wang Yue stood up at this time and said, "Yue Yun is right, we all know what the official army is like now. What their 5,000 people couldn't do, our 1,000 ironclad army couldn't do. What's more, everyone in our army is iron-armoured, and knives can't cut in, arrows can't get in, and the bandits don't have such equipment. So as long as everyone is united, there is no reason for us to lose. ”
Seeing that Wang Yue had set the tone, everyone responded one after another.
"Good, order!"
Hearing this, the people who were originally sitting stood up, this is Wang Yue's rule, and when the order is given, everyone must stand up.
"Three days later, all the fighters will assemble at the school and set off at the end of the day!"
"Yes!"
……
Li Si is a resident of Xingyuan Beicheng, and when the **** was asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a 'boom' sound.
"Isn't it an earthquake?"
Thinking of this, Li Si was completely sleepy, hurriedly woke up his wife, and ran out of the house in ragged arms with his son, but found that there was no earthquake. But he was blinded by the scene in front of him, and saw a group of heavenly soldiers wearing shining silver armor, marching on the official road in front of his door, but what are the heavenly soldiers doing in this Xingyuan?
Suddenly, he patted his head and remembered the ironclad army that had been in trouble in the city a few days ago. Despite this, he still couldn't believe that these people in front of him were the Iron Armor Army, which was clearly a heavenly soldier!
……
At this moment, Wang Yue was wearing iron armor and riding on a horse, walking at the forefront of the team. At this moment, he realized the bulkiness of this iron armor, he had not participated in several training sessions these days, and his body was very uncomfortable with the iron armor, and he only felt that he had been carrying an iron pimple, and it was extremely inconvenient to move. Therefore, when he came out this time, he specially asked someone to prepare a horse for him, so as to lighten the burden a little. As for the others, they don't have such treatment, so they can only walk honestly on the ground.
But fortunately, except for Wang Yue, the ironclad army is trained in armor on weekdays, and now this armor on the body does not have a big impact on activities.
Beishan is not very far from Xingyuan County, only more than 20 miles, Wang Yue and others rushed to the foot of the mountain at noon. And the logistics troops have already set up camp tents at the foot of the mountain, and the ironclad army will be able to rest as soon as they come. As for going up the mountain, it can only wait until the next day, along the way, the ironclad army also consumes a lot of physical strength, and has to rest for a day, just wait for the second day to recuperate and attack the mountain.
But it was said that at this time, the three-pronged village had become a pot of porridge, and these thieves had never had discipline at all, and when they saw the government coming to encircle and suppress, their hearts were already in chaos. At this moment, in the Juyi Hall of the Three Forks Village, the three village owners are discussing here how to deal with this group of officers and soldiers.
"Big brother, if you want me to say, let me rush up with 500 brothers and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" A man with a beard on his right arm at the bottom said, waving his only right arm.
"Third brother, don't be reckless, there are 1,000 officers and soldiers this time, don't you take 500 people up to find death?" This is the middle-aged man sitting in the second one-eyed dragon who heard the words of a hand and retorted unceremoniously.
"What are you afraid of, the last time the official army was still claimed to be 5,000 people, what was the result? There were only a few hundred people who came, and when they were frightened by the brothers, they ran away crying and crying for their mother. The hand said contemptuously.
Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel, the man with a scar on his face sitting in the first seat said, "Third brother, don't be reckless and underestimate the enemy. He turned his head and said to One-Eye: "Second brother, what the third brother said also has some truth, it is better to let him take 500 brothers to try the depth of this group of officers and soldiers." ”
Seeing that Scar supported him, one hand hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Xie is complete, I will gather people and wait until the night to kill him by surprise!" After speaking, he picked up the Ninth Ring Avenue that was leaning on the side, and swaggered out of the Juyi Hall.
