Chapter 13 Adaptation
Lu Wende, deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, led the Sichuan army to break through the obstruction of the Mongolian army and enter Ezhou, making Ezhou's defense more solid, which fundamentally inspired the confidence of many soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But contradictions also arise at this time.
The armies in Ezhou were all in control, and Zhang Sheng, the assassin of Ezhou, didn't know how to deal with the relationship with Lu Wende.
Although Lu Wende is the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, he is actually the duty of the acting envoy, leading the imperial armies in Sichuan, resisting the attack of the Mongolian army, and being responsible for the guards throughout Sichuan.
Lü Wende commanded the imperial armies in Sichuan as the deputy envoy of Chengxuan, and could directly give orders to many commanders, and in this respect, Lü Wende was Zhang Sheng's superior.
However, the defensive battle of Ezhou, according to the deployment of the imperial court, was coordinated and commanded by Zhang Sheng, that is to say, any army that entered Ezhou to rush to help should obey Zhang Sheng's dispatch.
What's worse is that Lu Wende is a civil official, and he served as the deputy envoy of the Sichuan Xuanfu from the imperial history of Sanpin, and his power is greater.
Whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, the supreme commander in the army has always been a civilian official, and the military general can only act as a deputy.
Zhang Sheng could not order Lu Wende at all, on the contrary, all his deployments had to be consulted with Lu Wende.
On how to protect the security of the city of Ezhou, there was a disagreement between Zhang Sheng and Lu Wende.
Zhang Sheng believes that the main energy of the armies of all walks of life is to defend the city of Ezhou, and other aspects do not need to be considered for the time being, as long as they can hold the city of Ezhou, the Mongolian army will not dare to covet the capital Lin'an.
Lu Wende has a different view, he believes that it is necessary to take the initiative,
This is because from the geographical point of view, the status of Xiangyang is more important than Ezhou, is the southern gate of the imperial court, the Mongol army did not focus on Xiangyang, this is their mistake, the Mongol Khan Hauge was killed, resulting in internal instability in Mongolia, all the armies must seize the opportunity, quickly counterattack, and strive to recover more cities and territories, and at the same time meet with the army stationed in Xiangyang, and expel the Mongol army from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Both of them judged well.
Lu Wende has experienced too many battles and has been able to calmly face victory and defeat, Zhang Sheng is different, responsible for garrisoning Ezhou, always vigilant, the two have essential differences in combat thinking, Zhang Sheng tends to harvest, Lu Wende tends to attack.
At present, the understanding between Lu Wende and Zhang Sheng cannot be unified, which has led to the mobilization of large armies from all walks of life, and there have been big problems, and the elite troops, including the Urging Front Army, are at a loss and do not know what to do.
This is very fatal to the army that is about to fight.
Wu Shaogang, who served as the general of the Urging Feng Army, was recommended and awarded the title of Martial Arts Lang from the Seventh Grade.
In just over a month, Wu Shaogang was promoted from the role of the Youyi Army's guard to Chengxinlang from the nine-rank and fifty-second ranks, and the Youyi army general, and then promoted from the seventh-rank and thirty-fifth rank of Wugong Lang to serve as the general of the Qifeng Army.
This is a rocket-like speed of promotion, and what is even more incredible is that Wu Shaogang is not yet sixteen years old.
At such an age, it is already a miracle to be able to serve as the general of the Imperial Army in Ezhou.
But in the barracks, no one was curious.
Wu Shaogang's bravery, many soldiers in the camp have seen with their own eyes, with such a strong ability, it is a matter of course to serve as a martial artist and a general of the Urging Feng Army.
What Wu Shaogang didn't expect was that Niu Degong, who was also a general, showed extraordinary admiration and reverence for him.
It is said that between Wu Shaogang and Niu Degong, they can be regarded as mortal enemies, and the beloved war horse under Niu Degong's crotch is also owned by Wu Shaogang, and in front of so many sergeants, Niu Degong was defeated by Wu Shaogang, which can be described as a loss of face.
When he first entered the Urging Army, Wu Shaogang was suspicious of Niu Degong, and he thought that Niu Degong would sooner or later avenge himself, but after a period of contact, Wu Shaogang vetoed his own judgment, Niu Degong did not have such an idea at all, and when Wu Shaogang entered the Urging Army, Niu Degong took the initiative to promote Wu Shaogang and told many officers and sergeants of the Urging Army that Wu Shaogang must be respected because he was extremely brave.
This made Wu Shaogang have an unusual view of Gundam and the Urging Army, it seems that what Gundam said is true, the Urging Advance Army is a whole, as long as the sergeants who enter it, they are all members of the big family, although there are any conflicts before, at this time, it is also temporarily let go.
Of course, Wu Shaogang is very sober, and his real prestige still needs to be reflected in actual combat.
Ma Long, Wang Shisan, Du Xiaoqi, Zhang Binghui and Tan Mazi and other more than ten people, followed Wu Shaogang into the urging army, Wu Shaogang knew that he would accept it when he saw it, he would not take all the sergeants under the command of the original You Yi army into the urging army, and the quality and quality of some sergeants were indeed not qualified to enter the urging army.
The moment they entered the Urging Army, Ma Long and the others received a hat and helmet, with the word Urging Feng on it, which made them excited for a long time, and they were able to change their identities and become the upper echelons of the military camp, all relying on Wu Shaogang's efforts.
In the eyes of Ma Long and the others, Wu Shao was the master they really needed to be loyal to just now.
The sergeant of the Urging Front Army who entered the city of Ezhou, there were not many things.
The entire urging army has only more than 3,000 people, and the cavalry occupies one-third, and in the battle, they will play the role of the sea god needle, that is to say, until the last moment of the fight, the sergeants of the urging army will not be dispatched.
Wu Shaogang entered the urging army, which aroused great attention, and many deputy generals, preparation generals, generals, and team generals of the urging front army came to visit, and in this process, Niu Degong did his best to help introduce and recommend.
Because the Mongol army was about to launch another round of attack, the sergeants of the guerrilla army, the left army and the right army stationed in the city were all stationed outside the city to block the large-scale attack of the Mongol army.
Wu Shaogang, as the general of the Urging Army, was naturally guarding the city.
Still stationed in the barracks, Wu Shaogang exercised harder, he thought that he could recover to his peak state, in that case, no matter what danger he encountered, he would be able to protect himself.
The situation of the Urging Front Army and the Youyi Army is completely different.
The officers and sergeants of the Urging Forward Army have to undergo intensive training every day, rain or shine, and many of them are also extremely hard.
However, in the process of this training, Wu Shaogang found too many flaws.
Take a team of 50 people as an example, the division of labor of these 50 people is very clear, five are gunners, responsible for wielding spears to attack the opponent first, five are knife hands, closely behind the gunners, holding Song hand knives to fight, assisting the gunners to attack, ten people are archers, responsible for shooting arrows to kill the enemy, and the remaining 30 people are crossbowmen, responsible for controlling the bow and crossbow to kill the enemy.
Gunners, swordsmen, archers, and crossbowmen must coordinate with each other.
The problem is that gunners and swordmen don't necessarily shoot arrows, while archers and crossbowmen don't know how to fight with weapons in hand.
The composition of the cavalry is more interesting, the Urging Advance Army is the most elite team, but there are less than ten horses in each team, and the rest are mainly archers and crossbowmen.
Wu Shaogang felt incomprehensible about such a situation.
As the general of the Urging Army, the number of sergeants under Wu Shaogang increased to 200.
It's a pity that these two hundred people are still foot soldiers, and there are no cavalry.
And Niu Degong, who was defeated first by Wu Shaogang, was still led by cavalry.
Gundam entered the barracks, Wu Shaogang was carefully looking at the map, in the ranger army, he did not have such treatment, it was impossible to see any map at all.
"General Wu, it's been a few days since you entered the Urging Army, how do you feel?"
Entering the Urging Army, Wu Shaogang is a subordinate of Gundam, and the attitude he shows is definitely different.
"My subordinates feel very good, thank you for your care."
"It's not a matter of care, since you have entered the urging army, everyone is brothers, these days the Mongolian army is afraid that it is preparing to attack, the marshal is busy transferring troops, we urge the front army will not go out of the city to kill the enemy for the time being, but we must also make all preparations, no matter what, we must hold the city, and when the time comes, you will follow my side."
"Subordinates obey."
Gundam looked at Wu Shaogang, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Just entered the Urging Army, the first battle that may be ushered in, followed by the main general's side, this is a great honor, and it is also Gundam's high trust in Wu Shaogang, from this level, Gundam is ready to carefully cultivate Wu Shaogang.
In the Southern Song Dynasty army, there is nothing strange about this situation, for those promising officers, the main general will spend energy to cultivate, as long as the other party can return to the heart, you can be trained as a henchman, which will make the position of the main general in the army more solid.
Wu Shaogang is not particularly impressed with Gundam, but the atmosphere inside the Urging Front Army is still good, although because of the difference in identity, it will also be divided into three, six, nine and so on, but the relationship between them is quite harmonious.
Based on this, Wu Shaogang believes that Gundam is still capable and has a certain mind.
Whether it is completely integrated into the urging army, Wu Shaogang has not yet fully made up his mind, his purpose is to cultivate an army that he can fully control, such an idea can never be said, it is no different from rebellion, but in this situation, if there is no power that he can control, the outcome will definitely be tragic.
The urging army is the most elite team of the imperial army in Ezhou, and it is impossible to win over it as its own strength, Wu Shaogang did not want to leave the You Yi army, but in fact, he also wanted to be able to seize the opportunity and completely control the You Yi army.
The lessons of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, Wu Shaogang is clear, and he also knows that the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty are very taboo that officers have their own military strength, so in the next time, Wu Shaogang can only wait silently for the opportunity to expand his own strength without revealing the mountains and waters.
In the army, the strong are respected, and Wu Shaogang must further show his ability, so that it is possible to unite more people around him.
