Chapter 381: The Great Army Gathers, the Qin Army Strategy
"You are still blowing, I wonder, why did His Royal Highness the King of Qin send you to be the commander of the army this time, Zezhou has always been my station!"
Yes, as soon as this is mentioned, Li Mao is more angry than Zhao Mosheng, the military order can be said, and when the Ming army exterminated Gao Yingxiang, he set off for the south, and now the Third Army has been prepared to change all directions to prepare to enter Henan, and the First Field Army has also successively moved south from Yulin and other places into Pingyang, which is the closest to the Fourth Army, and nothing has been gained.

Zhao Mosheng laughed proudly when he heard this, and when he snatched the military order in his hand, he laughed even more arrogantly.
"It's time for my old Zhao to have this day, I want to be stationed in Taiyuan Mansion in front of me, and I'll do it all for you, this time it's time for you to stand and watch me eat meat."
Li Mao found a place to unload his armor and sit down, and watched him speechlessly for a while before reaching out and waving all the generals back.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has said first, this battle is the first step to level the world, as long as Liukou and Kong Youde converge east into Shandong, and defeat the main force of the imperial court in Shandong, the situation in the world will gradually become clear, but your third army must control the scale of the battle with the local Ming army, this is a local border conflict, and a large-scale war will never be allowed."
"What?!"
Zhao Mosheng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly looked for the terms on the military order, "I didn't find this one, so how can this kind of battle be fought?" ”
"Oh, look at this, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has an order, not only to hurt the Ming army, but not to kill, to consume and drag the main force of the Ming army in the early stage, not to let them withdraw, nor to carry out the main decisive battle, confrontation can be, if the Ming army comes to attack, then immediately wave the division to counterattack, but not to cross the line, the army is only allowed to operate in Huaiqing and Henan Mansion, not allowed to enter Kaifeng Mansion."
Li Mao came up and pointed to him, and said with a smile,
"It's a slow job. But you have to grasp it, if you don't do it, say it early, and I'll take over as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Mo stood up with a loud voice, stared at him for a while, and then said angrily, "Go and go~ Finally, let me take back the pioneer and fight, you go cool." Besides, my Third Army is fully loaded, and the 25,000 soldiers of the whole army can't wait for a long time. ”
What are you kidding, no matter how small the mosquito is, it can't stand the meat, he is in Pingyang, every day is drilling, the whole army. Leading all towns and brigades to suppress bandits everywhere and stabilize the place, what is this called, and even the local Pingyang Tuntian battalion also complained to Li Fugui, the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, that all the things that the local Tuntian Army should do were robbed by the Third Army.
When Li Fugui played Li Jing, he couldn't cry or laugh, and there were some bandits at the beginning, and the Tuntian army set off in high spirits. Then he returned to the camp listlessly, and even only halfway through, which made the speechless main field army suppress the rogues, and let them not let them work hard?
"That's for the best. The meaning of the King of Qin is very clear, it is absolutely not allowed to attack the Ming army before the righteousness has fallen to the Qin army, and the Liukou and Confucian thieves occupy Shandong, let's drag the Ming army back in the rear, and then send out a military horse. Along the Yellow River to temporarily block the Liukou in an attempt to go north, the King of Qin means to let the Liukou go south, to wreak havoc in the interior, borrow their hands, to fight with those landlords, it is best to lose both, and when the time is ripe, then release the Liukou to the north to attack the capital, and then in the name of King Qin, seize the world in one fell swoop. ”
Such secret matters, of course, were told by Li Jing to his face, but unfortunately the whole situation was on the way to Sichuan, Tan Wu was a little unsuitable for the local terrain and climate, and on the way to attack Bazhou, he gave Li Jing a note, asking for another main force, it is best to reinforce from the rear, and attack Chengdu in two ways.
But later, considering that the transportation into Sichuan was really unable to support the two field armies, and Tan Wu successfully went south to open up the situation after capturing Bazhou, so the matter was over, anyway, Zhao Mosheng didn't catch up with Sichuan, and the military conference didn't catch up, so he stayed in Pingyang for half a year without moving.
"I will delay the Ming army at the border, and this task of blocking Liukou from the north is not my share, right?"
Zhao Mosheng could only say that his luck was not good, thinking that Zheng Renbao would even take refuge in Li Jing later than himself, but now, what is it called, Tiger Wing Army! One of the two and three of their own families, the third army of the Qin Field War, isn't this just a comparison for people? How can this make the arrogant Zhao Mosheng endure it?
This is full of energy and wants to compete with Zheng Renbao, don't look at it now is a matter of fame, but if Li Jing really ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme one day, when he is rewarded for meritorious deeds and bestowed titles, he may not be able to guarantee that Zheng Renbao is not a prince but also a prince, and what about him, it must be behind, you must know that the prince is also famous.
Don't be a Jin Guogong when Zheng Renbao is crowned, he will be a miscellaneous and eight Guogong, he will be ashamed when he says it, if that colleague comes up to ask if he is so dead, dare to ask where this fief is, he must not die of shame?
"King Qin has already had an order, and this time he will send the headquarters of the Second Cavalry Army to the east, and the rest of the armies will not fight."
Li Mao himself is still red-eyed, you must know that this battle must be the most critical battle to intercept the Liukou, if it is fought well, this qualification is enough to make people use it for a lifetime, how can their several armies not rush to fight?
"Say so much, let's solve the matter at hand first, what's the matter, you brought a cavalry brigade this time, is it possible that the cavalry army of T Niang still wants to share my meager credit?"
Zhao Mosheng is still angry when he talks about this, he has no credit at all, and now he has also installed two brigades of the Third Army and one brigade of the Cavalry Army, these three brigades, in his opinion, are here to grab credit.
"Yes, you can finish the fight alone, the cavalry brigade was sent by the King of Qin to suppress the formation, as for the local counterattack, as for my two brigades, it is no longer governed, Zezhou, this independent brigade has always been there, the first brigade I brought is the lord strictly ordered to guard the border, as long as the Ming army does not enter Shanxi, then there is nothing to do with me."
Li Mao is not a person who gets cheap and sells well, but this time his heart is inevitably a little unhappy, the same army, with the third army in front of the meritorious service, his fourth army occupies the advantage of the home field, but it is a fight, and no one is happy, so it is inevitable to speak with anger,
These words immediately caused Zhao Mosheng's embarrassment, and he thought that he was Li Jing's relative, Li Denggao was still the chief of the Qin Palace, so he couldn't be offended, so he pretended to be generous, "Let's change your battalion, this small group of attacks, it is best to divide into Chengdu teams, our brothers have merit to stand together, and the enemy will come together." ”
Li Mao was stunned for a moment, why was he so good at talking, so he glanced at him suspiciously, which immediately aroused Zhao Mosheng's displeasure, and he glared at him, "What's the matter, when will I Zhao talk and not talk." ”
"Thanks to your heart, it's done, and I'm not blessed."
How could Li Mao not be grateful in his heart, their group of old brothers who followed Li Jing's birth belonged to him and had the best relationship with everyone, and he was usually taken care of, so how could he take advantage of it at this moment, so he sincerely excused himself, "Brother just go, this Huaiqing Mansion is just seven or eight thousand rogues, and sooner or later it will wreak havoc on the place, and the governor alone is enough to calm down, with a little credit, and there will be more in the future, how dare you come to grab the credit." ”
So the two looked at each other and laughed, Zhao Mosheng called Gu Pu, the chief soldier of the first town, in front of him, and after ordering the arrangement, the first town immediately sent out a brigade, went out of the border, set up camp, and was fully responsible for the operation on the front line, because this was only a small group of soldiers and horses, so the rest of the armies could only temporarily press the formation in the back, and did not dare to go deeper.
……
"Haha~ This is the head of the thief, and the shelling will be launched quickly, if he dies, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
Peng Youmo laughed wildly, and commanded more than fifty tiger squat cannons under his command to continuously fire fierce cannons into an area, even ignoring the Ming army's own soldiers and horses blocking in front of him.
"Pass the order down, behead Li Jiucheng's head, Mengyin has a son, and reward thousands of households,"
At the same time, Zhu Dadian got the news in the rear, the traitor and thief leader Li Jiucheng went out of Dengzhou to lead thousands of people out of the city to invite the battle, at this moment the armies were defeated and retreated one after another, almost retreating to the earthen wall, if they were defeated again, there would be a danger of collapse in the south.
"General Wu, General Zu, please send troops immediately and cut off their back road."
"Whoa."
Wu Sangui and Zu Kuan glanced at each other, and each received orders, but the elite Guanning iron cavalry would never easily penetrate between Dengzhou City and the earthen wall, because in this way, the advantages of the cavalry could not be brought into play, and under the cover of the firearms and artillery of the Dengzhou rebels, even if they barely rushed in, it would be difficult for them to make a big difference.
"Adjutant General, how can I do it?"
At this time, Wu Sangui was still a little immature, and he didn't have the kind of decision he made ten years later.
Zu Kuan sent people down to order the horses of the army, while looking in the direction of Nancheng, he heard the shouting and killing sound in his ears, so he pondered for a while and said, "Li Jiucheng is good at using troops, if our army tries to cut off his back road, it will inevitably suffer a fierce blow from Dengzhou City, and there will be a danger of being completely annihilated by him at that time, so let's go into battle first and take a look, just stabilize the formation." ”
"That's all it can be."
Wu Sangui is not alone, these Guanning iron cavalry he brought belong to the same group, so of course they will not consume the elite here, this is also true, if all the generals are grateful for the reimbursement of the imperial court and desperately move forward, then Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde rebelled, and they would not have been pacified to this day.
"Soldiers, kill the thieves with me, fight to the death and never retreat!"
But the defender of Nancheng, Dongjiang Town's general Huang Long, and Li Jiucheng have a grudge against the door, and now the enemy is very red-eyed when they meet, so he led 2,000 cavalry to block the gap made by the rebels in Dongjiang Town. (To be continued.) )
