Chapter 3 Grim
It was completely dark, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inside the city, the official residence of the assassin.
Zhang Sheng, the commander of the capital and the state assassin, wore a hat and helmet, wearing a black lacquered fish scale armor, his expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word, and there were many generals and strategists standing around him, and almost all of them lowered their heads, and no one spoke.
In such a situation, no strategy has any effect, only to fight to the death, only to persevere, the city must not be lost, even if it is fought to the last person, it must be defended.
The sergeants sent out to resist, the battle situation was not optimistic, the casualties were heavy, the battle situation was obvious, to meet the cavalry with foot soldiers, there was no chance of victory, but it was necessary to kill it, if the Mongolian army easily arrived outside the city to attack, the consequences were unimaginable.
Zhang Sheng knows very well what this battle means.
The sand table in the middle and the map hanging behind Zhang Sheng have been neglected, and they have lost their usefulness.
As if thinking of something, Zhang Sheng let out a long sigh, broke the silence, and spoke.
"Today is finally over, fortunately we persevered, General Ma Zheng, just now I heard that there is a sergeant who can get up and fight after being seriously injured, and he is unstoppable, which greatly boosts morale and allows the army to persist in fighting, but there is such a thing."
"This, the situation that the marshal said, the subordinates are not very clear...
Zhang Sheng looked at Ma Gangmin, frowning slightly, and his eyes clearly showed dissatisfaction.
"Report to the marshal, this is indeed the case, this sergeant's name is Wu Shaogang, and he is a guard in the Youyi army."
It was Su Zongcai, a strategist beside Zhang Sheng, who spoke.
This Su Zongcai is a middle-aged man who appeared in the city gate.
Zhang Sheng looked at Su Zongcai, and also at Ma Gangmin, nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
The Youyi army belongs to the infantry battalion, and every time they fight, they are at the forefront, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as cannon fodder.
The main role of the sergeants who went out of the city to fight was to delay the pace of the Mongolian army's attack, and it was impossible to be the elite, and the most elite Tabai army and the urging army, it was impossible to send them out of the city.
Zhang Sheng did not expect such a talent to appear in the most neglected Youyi Army, but Ma Gangmin, who was the general of the Youyi Army, did not know that there was a strong man in the army who turned the tide, which Zhang Sheng did not expect.
The fighting has reached an extremely anxious and dangerous situation, thinking about boosting morale and letting the sergeants take the initiative to participate in the fighting, it is very difficult, not only the sergeants fighting in the front have become numb, but even the officers at all levels stationed in the city have become anxious.
As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Sheng, shouldering a heavy responsibility, he must cheer up and command calmly, and regardless of whether this battle can be completely won, at least he must persevere, to ensure that the city is not lost, if the battle is completely lost, the city is lost, then the consequences caused by this are by no means what he Zhang Sheng can bear.
Unless it is a horizontal heart and takes the initiative to surrender to the Mongolian army.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Zhang Sheng spoke again.
"General Ma Zheng, as a general, you temporarily command the battle of the Youyi army, and you must master all matters in the army, I don't want to see such things happen again in the future, I want to see Wu Shaogang, you go and arrange it immediately, the sooner the better."
As a marshal, it is unexpected to go to see an ordinary guard in person, even if Wu Shaogang fought bravely, Zhang Sheng entrusted Ma Gangmin, who is a general and commander of the Youyi Army, to meet it.
Ma Gangmin obviously felt that something was wrong, he turned his head to look around, clenched his fists and prepared to speak.
Before Ma Gangmin could speak, Su Zong spoke again.
"Dashuai, my subordinates request to go with Ma Zhengjiang to arrange the arrangement, so that Dashuai can meet the strong man Wu Shaogang as soon as possible."
Zhang Sheng nodded, a smile barely appearing on his face.
"There's Mr. Lausu."
Ma Gangmin's face showed a look of consternation, and he looked at Zhang Sheng and Su Zongcai, feeling incredible, but he didn't speak, but chose to lower his head.
Su Zongcai is Zhang Sheng's most trusted strategist, although he does not hold any substantive positions in the army, but anyone knows that he can decide a lot of things, Zhang Sheng is almost obedient to Su Zongcai, including many strategic deployments, etc., and Su Zongcai is also able to do some things about the reward, promotion and dismissal of officers at all levels.
Su Zongcai has such a special identity, he is really capable, he has followed Zhang Sheng's side all the year round, and has come up with a lot of schemes, and has helped Zhang Sheng stabilize his position.
Under such circumstances, the generals in the army naturally respect Su Zongcai very much.
Walking out of the official residence, the cold wind and heavy snow outside made Su Zongcai's body tremble slightly.
Seeing this, Ma Gangmin immediately spoke.
"A little thing, sir, don't have to work too hard, just let me do it."
Su Zongcai looked at Ma Gangmin and spoke expressionlessly.
"It's okay, this matter is not a trivial matter, it must be done well."
"Mr. Su, in fact, there is no need for the handsome to see this Wu Shaogang, let Mr. come forward to meet him, it will be good."
Su Zongcai's face had no expression, and when he heard Ma Gangmin say this, he turned his head and looked at it coldly, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he can't understand the good intentions of the marshal at all, no wonder this Ma Gangmin, who has been in the army for almost twenty years, is still brave in battle, and is still a general, and can only command the Youyi army.
"General Ma Zheng, the army has been fighting for more than a month, the weather is cold, many soldiers are very tired, such an anxious moment, there are such strong men in the army, isn't it God bless my dynasty, the marshal must see it in person, this is to boost the morale of the army, to achieve combat victory, has an immeasurable effect, I want to remind General Ma Zheng, the marshal to see Wu Shaogang, must be arranged, to let all the soldiers know, in our army, all those who fight bravely, must be promoted and rewarded."
Su Zongcai's cold expression did not arouse Ma Gangmin's concern, even if he had resentment in his heart, he did not dare to show it.
Looking at Su Zongcai, Ma Gangmin made a sudden realization, with a look of reverence on his face, and spoke respectfully.
"If it weren't for Mr.'s reminder, I really wouldn't know, I'm a rough person, I don't understand this, this matter is so important, how to arrange it, and ask Mr. for advice."
"Do three things well, the first thing, the right time, arrange Wu Shaogang in Dianjiangtai, the marshal will meet Wu Shaogang in Dianjiangtai, and reward him in person, the second thing is to inform the officers above the army squadron general, when all will go to Dianjiangtai, they must see this scene with their own eyes, and they must publicize it widely in the army, and the third thing is to inform the white army to do all the precautions, and at the same time inform the sergeants on the periphery and on the city wall that they must always keep their eyes open and monitor all movements outside the city."
"Understood, understood, I'll do it right away, do it myself."
Finally came to the Youyi Army barracks, Ma Gangmin respectfully invited Su Zongcai into his room.
"Sir is resting in the house, I will go to implement these things immediately, and after the arrangements are completed, please ask Mr. for guidance to see if I have done everything well."
After Ma Gangmin walked out of the tent, Su Zong walked to the brazier in the middle and sat down to roast the fire.
Although he received the task in front of the marshal and followed Ma Gangmin to the Youyi Army camp, he didn't need Su Zongcai to come forward to do the specific things, and he didn't even need Ma Gangmin to come forward in person, just arrange the people below to do it.
Just now, Ma Gangmin's fart was implemented in a hurry, just to leave a good impression on Su Zongcai.
Su Zongcai looked down on Ma Gangmin, and he thought that Ma Gangmin was not worth befriending.
Su Zongcai paid attention to Wu Shaogang, and he also felt strange, Wu Shaogang was so seriously injured, it was already a blessing not to die, why was he able to fly up to kill the enemy, and make the opponent afraid and frightened.
You must know that when he was at the city gate, Su Zongcai personally looked at the injuries on Wu Shaogang's body, which was a shocking wound that made him feel shocking, because of the shock, he personally inquired about the details and knew the general situation.
This doesn't make sense.
Su Zongcai has also experienced some fighting, although as a scholar and strategist, what he does is to strategize and be mighty, and will not go to the battlefield in person, but the tragedy of battlefield fighting is familiar, many times Su Zongcai followed Zhang Sheng's side, went to check the battle situation, and witnessed many scenes of tragic battles.
Winter is not suitable for large-scale field fighting, and fighting in the snow is even more taboo, under such a climate, the casualties of the army will increase exponentially, not to mention suffering serious injuries, even if they are lightly injured, the chance of the sergeant surviving is very small.
Could it be that this Wu Shaogang really has anything special.
Su Zongcai couldn't figure it out, and in the dark, some strange thoughts popped up in his mind.
Half an hour later, Ma Gangmin rubbed his hands together and entered the house.
"Mr. Su, everything else has been arranged, but this is the matter of informing the White Army of the vigilance, I can't say, do you want to ask Mr. to help talk about it..."
Su Zongcai waved his hand and stopped Ma Gangmin from continuing.
"I see."
A smile appeared on Ma Gangmin's face, you must know that Su Zongcai has almost never been to the barracks of You Yijun, and he has a good opportunity today, he must find a way to tie up, if Su Zongcai can speak in front of Zhang Sheng and help him say good things, then promotion is not a matter of course.
"The climate is so cold, Mr. Su worked tirelessly to come to the camp of the Youyi Army, I will arrange wine and food to relieve Mr. Su's fatigue, please Mr. Su must not refuse...
Before Ma Gangmin finished speaking, Su Zongcai stood up.
The mouth that eats people is soft, and the hands that take people are short.
Su Zongcai never thought of speaking for Ma Gangmin, so naturally he would not stay here to eat.
"I have received General Ma Zheng's wishes, there is no need to arrange this wine and food, I still have to go to the barracks of the White Army and inform them to strengthen their vigilance, this matter cannot be delayed, and Ma Zhengjiang has already arranged everything, and I have to go back to report to the marshal."
