~~~~~~

The composition of the national army at that time was probably much more complicated than the pattern at the end of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

To paraphrase a cliché, 'this is a specific product in a specific situation'.

But at this time, the southern Liaoning side, especially the military academy side, obviously did not have so many complicated things.

Li Yuanqing had a brief exchange with Chen Zhong, and soon finalized the battle plan of the main body, that is, the plan for the eastern front proposed by Chen Changyou and the seventh commander.

The biggest benefit of this solution compared to other solutions is its practicality.

After all, this expedition is not to fight a tough battle, to fight to the death with the main force of the Houjin army, but to demonstrate, to show off the force, to let the Houjin feel the strong force of the Ming army.

In this way, Li Yuanqing bore the brunt of the first thing to consider, which was how to avoid casualties.

Compared with the plans of the western front and the central front, because of the perennial fierce battles on the eastern front, there are many soldiers and generals of Zhang Pan and Chen ~ Liangce, who are already very familiar with the topography of the first line of Laozhai.

Moreover, compared with the hinterland of the Liaozhong Plain, the Laozhai line on the eastern front line actually belongs to the wild land that has not been completely civilized.

At that time, this area was better under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. In the past ten years, as it fell into the hands of the Houjin, especially after the main force of the Houjin conquered the rich hinterland of Shenyang and Liaoyang, the eastern front slowly fell to the bottom.

Especially in the past few years, Mao Wenlong has always been staring at the old village, and he is not sure when he will come to the village, which also makes the Houjin army quite tired, not a good land, and it is difficult to cultivate.

Because if you cultivate, you must not be a real slave master to farm, you can only rely on the slaves of the Han army flag, but once Mao Wenlong fights over, it is inevitable that some Han army flag soldiers who eat inside and outside will defect, and it will be more than worth the loss.

This makes the eastern front area very chicken, tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

To put it bluntly, persimmon~, you still have to pick a soft one to pinch.

If Li Yuanqing went to the Liaozhong Plain, even if he could gain something, it would be difficult to break the city, or even almost impossible to break the city. In this way, relatively speaking, it is natural to be able to conquer Laozhai and create a wind, which will cause greater political ~ influence.

Once the plan is finalized, the rest is implementation.

When the generals came back from dinner, Chen Zhong immediately read out the plan, commended Chen Changyou and the seventh commander, and announced that the whole army still had one day to prepare, and tomorrow evening, it will officially set out!

Military orders are like a mountain.

After more than three months of studying at the military academy, these generals did not dare to slack off for a moment, and went back to pack up their preparations one after another.

Li Yuanqing smiled and arranged Yang Miaocai into a small dormitory next to his and Chen Zhong's dormitory, "Brother Miaocai." The sons and daughters are not as good as at home. Especially the sons and daughters are all rough people, in terms of living habits and all aspects, Brother Miaocai should be more psychologically prepared. If you have any needs, please ask me as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, wait, I'll have someone bring you a good armor. ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was about to leave, Yang Miaocai hurriedly said: "Li Shuai, wait, wait." ”

"Huh?" Li Yuanqing smiled and glanced back at Yang Miaocai.

"Uh......"

Seeing Li Yuanqing turn around, Yang Miaocai had nothing to say, and hurriedly said: "Li Shuai, you can go and get busy." Little brother, if there is a need here, I will trouble you. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Yang Miaocai's shoulder with a smile, "Brother Miaocai, don't be nervous." Actually, Tartars. That's it. ”

Watching Li Yuanqing's tall figure leave, Yang Miaocai couldn't help but take a long breath.

Until now, he hadn't adapted to the rhythm.

He really couldn't accept it, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong only made a plan today, tomorrow, or in the evening, they were going to go on the expedition?

In his subconscious, if a large army goes out, how can it not be carefully prepared for a year, at least half a year.

Why, how did you get to Li Yuanqing, it's such a simple sentence, it's just as simple as having a light meal......

Soon, Niu Gensheng, the leader of Li Yuanqing's personal army, personally sent Yang Miaocai a pair of good armor.

The two exchanged a few words, Niu Gensheng was just about to leave, but Yang Miaocai hurriedly grabbed him, and asked with some embarrassment: "Niu, Brother Niu, this, how to wear this armor?" ”

Niu Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a moment, and explained with a smile: "Lord Yang, it is said that it is one armor, but this is actually two armors. A layer of soft leather armor, which is the lining, is worn inside, which can not only protect the wind and cold, but also protect the chest and guard against the cold arrows of the tartars. The outer layer is hard leather armor, you see, in front of this is the heart guard, and the elbows, shoulders, and wrists are guarded by iron tools, which are very strong. With such good armor on your body, as long as you are not too lucky, the arrows of the Tartar will not hurt your life. ”

Niu Gensheng had already explained in detail, but Yang Miaocai was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Niu, this armor, is this armor worn during battle, or, or is it usually worn on your body?" ”

Niu Gensheng smiled: "Lord Yang, we are out on the expedition, and we may run into Tartars when we are, so it is good to wear them all the time." The armor that the general gave you is a good armor that only generals above the guerrilla level of our Changsheng Battalion can wear, it is very lightweight, only about twenty pounds, and it will not get in the way if you wear it. ”

Niu Gensheng is gone.

Yang Miaocai came back to her senses after a while, and hurriedly began to carefully examine the armor.

Unlike ordinary literati who only know how to do homework with Baguwen, Yang Miaocai has read quite a lot, and has been fighting at the grassroots level for five or six years, he is not a nerd, let alone a troll who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.

He still has some knowledge of armor.

This layer of inner armor is very soft, but if you touch it carefully, you can feel it, it is very thick, although the workmanship is not very exquisite, but you can see that the stitches on it are quite strong.

Yang Miaocai couldn't guess what kind of fur this inner armor was for a while, but he was sure that this inner armor was much better than the many so-called good armors he had seen in Jingshi before.

This is not to say that the workmanship is excellent, but the material is excellent.

"Could it be that this, is this a bearskin?"

Yang Miaocai suddenly became clever.

If you use bear skin to make nails, you can imagine what kind of financial resources it will cost. Li Yuanqing's ......

Yang Miaocai didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly and carefully put this inner armor on his body.

It's a pity that although this inner armor fits very well and doesn't seem to be heavy when touched, but when it is really worn on the body, Yang Miaocai found that the body is a little uncomfortable.

I tried the hard leather armor on the outside again, and when I boarded, Yang Miaocai simply felt that a large piece of lead had fallen on his body, this, do you want to wear it so strongly, and then go to ride a horse?

Yang Miaocai almost had the urge to cry for a while, and it seemed that it was really not easy to fight. I don't know how Li Yuanqing did it.

However, Yang Miaocai understands very well that Li Yuanqing can give him this opportunity, it is simply his great face, if he doesn't grasp it well, I'm afraid that in the future, even if he kneels down and begs Li Yuanqing, he will never have such an opportunity.

"That's it, my head is off and I don't have a big scar. I Yang Miaocai don't believe it, how many hard years, I have survived, can't I pass the current level? Anyway, I don't have to go to the battlefield, I just need to follow Li Yuanqing firmly. ”

…………

Although the preparation of logistics and supplies had already begun to be on track, the needs of each officer were somewhat different.

If someone is good at firearms, he needs to have more ammunition, flint, and fire folds.

Some people like to use cold weapons, so they should prepare a few more daggers and knives in case of emergency.

Especially in terms of hand ~ grenade ~ bombs and explosives packs, Li Yuanqing has to personally check them before he can feel at ease.

The same is true for Chen Zhong.

However, at this time, the explosive package is a 'general product' in southern Liaoning, but the hand ~ grenade ~ bomb is still Li Yuanqing's 'unique secret technique', which has not yet been disclosed to the public.

Chen Zhong knew some, but he didn't know the details, he just knew that this thing was very useful, but it could be very expensive.

This is not that Li Yuanqing deliberately concealed his selfishness.

It's just that, as a leader, the Immortal Battalion always needs to retain some unique secret skills.

The next evening, all the preparations were in place.

On the wide colonel's field, 900 generals and more than 3,000 war horses have all been lined up.

No flowers, no applause, no farewell.

In front of the battle array, Li Yuanqing turned over and got on his horse and waved his big hand, "Let's go." ”

"Daming Wansheng! General Wan Sheng! ”

Almost without thinking, the sons and daughters shouted loudly, quickly followed the war horses of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, and walked towards the gate of the military academy.

Yang Miaocai didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, and followed quickly.

Riding horses galloped much faster than using the '11' road, and when it was getting dark, more than an hour, the raiding team had already galloped for nearly thirty miles, and came to a clear stream.

Li Yuanqing took the lead in stopping the horse and asked the war horse under his crotch to drink some water and eat some grass.

The horses behind him also stopped, rested, and took care of the war horses by the way.

On this trip, in addition to these 900 military academy officers, there were also nearly 200 auxiliaries accompanying them.

Including more than 30 cooks, more than a dozen military doctors, 50 pitchers, and more than 100 sentry agents carefully selected by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong from various departments.

For example, cooking, camping, including medical care, these generals can do it themselves, but ~~, professional reconnaissance, except for a few generals who don't accept themselves at night, others are obviously not too good at it.

If there is no elite sentinel detective, it will be impossible to guarantee the safety of the whole army, which can be regarded as a slight drawback made by Li Yuanqing in this assessment.

In terms of officers, except for Huang Guoshan, who stayed at the military academy, the rest of the people, including Duan Xiliang and Kong Youde, were all in the army.

The sky was about to get dark in a blink of an eye, Chen Zhong said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Yuanqing, tonight, shall we camp here, or will we catch up with dozens of miles away?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Big brother, on the first day of the expedition, we don't have to be in a hurry, let's camp here." Let the children get used to the rhythm first, and let the horses get used to it. ”

Chen Zhong smiled and nodded: "It's okay." I went to arrange the camp and food. ”

Soon, some officers began to go around to collect firewood, some began to set up camp, some took care of the horses, some were in charge of guarding everywhere, and everything quickly became in order.

This trip, because it was a raid, was a fast ride on horseback all the way, and there was not a single woman in the entire camp.

In terms of camp tents, they are also big tents, which are easy to carry.

Even Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong will never engage in privileges.

Chen Zhong was equivalent to the role of Li Yuanqing's adjutant at this time, specifically coordinating and directing the affairs of camping, while Li Yuanqing stood by the stream, watching more than a dozen war horses drink water and eat grass, and by the way, he sorted out his thoughts and planned the next trip.

Not far from the side, Yang Miaocai was also carefully feeding his war horse to drink.

Although he was on his first expedition, he was not stupid.

He knew very well that in this kind of raid operation, the war horse was his most important life-saving weapon, and he did not dare to neglect the love of the war horse under his crotch.

At this time, seeing Li Yuanqing's gaze, Yang Miaocai hurriedly smiled and walked towards Li Yuanqing, "Li Shuai." ”

Li Yuanqing glanced at Yang Miaocai with a smile and said with a smile: "How is it?" Still adapting, right? ”

Yang Miaocai smiled: "It's okay." It's just that I'm still a little nervous. ”

"Huh."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother Miaocai, relax." said that it was an expedition, but in fact, it was the same as when we usually went to visit relatives. It's just that this poor relative is not only a little far away, but also a little fierce. ”

"Huh?"

Yang Miaocai never expected Li Yuanqing to describe it like this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
