Chapter 273: The Weight of a Letter
The entrance of the Eighteen Forts, the camp of the Qing army, and the tent of General Sheng Jing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It is also a land in the northeast, how can the folk customs of Heishui Province be far more powerful than our Fengtian?"
Zeng Qi, the general of Shengjing, paced back and forth in the tent, and was anxious when he spoke, because in order to be able to quickly complete the recruitment, Zeng Qi sent out all the remaining more than 6,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and in addition, he also seconded 3,000 soldiers and horses from Jiang Youxiao's department and Liu Zhong's department, with a total of more than 12,000 people, the purpose was to complete his own troop increase plan before the Black Dragon Army came out to intervene.
But now that half a day has passed, news from all walks of life continues to come, but there is some good news, adding up to seventy-seven eighty-eight has already captured three or four thousand Qingzhuang, but there is also a lot of bad news, there have been fierce battles in many places, and now the news reported back, the preliminary estimate is that the number of dead and wounded Qing soldiers will exceed 2,000.
That is to say, in order to catch three or four thousand young people, two thousand people were killed in battle, this price is inevitably too great, you know, this first wave is a sneak attack, and if you want to catch the strong man next, I am afraid the price will be even greater, just thinking about it, Zeng Qi is a little numb.
"Who's to say it isn't."
The military advisor Xu Shiming also replied embarrassedly, after all, this strategy was his idea, and he originally thought that it was just to catch a few strong men, it should be a matter of hand-to-hand capture, who would have thought that he would pay such a big price.
"According to various sources, we also captured a large number of water bead rifles, I think, these rifles should be distributed by the Black Dragon Army, and it is precisely because of the existence of these equipment that we will suffer a loss in the event of being caught off guard." Xu Shiming added.
"Hey, military advisor, what should I do next, is this strong man still arrested?"
Zeng Qi was a little at a loss, but the two thousand Qing soldiers who sacrificed were mostly under his command, which made him have more than 6,000 soldiers and horses left, and there were about 5,000 troops left in an instant.
"Catch, you have to catch." Xu Shiming affirmed: "The reason why such a big loss will be caused is because our forces are too scattered, as long as we concentrate our forces and sweep along the way, these Diao people will become fierce, what can we do?" ”
When Xu Shiming said this, Zeng Qi's face looked better, so he smiled and said: "Oh, Brother Shiming, why didn't you say it earlier, I was worried in vain." ”
"The general is concerned about chaos, in fact, I just thought of ......,
"Report."
"What's the matter?"
"Report to the general, someone outside the camp gate claimed to be the messenger of the Black Dragon Army, and sent a letter, and his subordinates have checked it, and there is no problem with the letter, so I want to present it to the general, please take a look at it."
Xu Shiming got up, took the letter, opened the letter in front of Zeng Qi, and read it first, but soon Xu Shiming's face became ugly, and it became more and more ugly, and even Zeng Qi on the side saw Xu Shiming's face and became strange, so he asked anxiously; "Brother Shiming, who wrote the letter that made your face so ugly."
"It's so rampant." Xu Shiming said angrily: "General, how dare the Black Dragon Army be so blind to no one, it simply treats my Qing soldiers as nothing,......"
It turned out that the letter was written by Yue Weihua himself, and the first sentence was: Zeng Qi, do you want to die, do you know that the behavior of the Qing army today is an act of seeking death?
The second sentence is: Do you know that my Black Dragon Army wants to annihilate you Tartars, and it is almost effortless?
The third sentence is: Immediately stop the actions against the common people, and immediately release the people who have been arrested, otherwise, you will not be far from death.
The fourth sentence is: Do you know that the 40,000 horses of the Qing army on the South Road have been annihilated, and even the Jilin general Changshun has lived in the prisoner camp of our Black Dragon Army?
The fifth sentence is: If within two hours of receiving the letter, those who do not see you stop their actions and do not see you release the people, then I just want to spare you, and I can't find a reason.
Then, the inscription: Yue Weihua.
The letter was short, colloquial, rampant, and threatening.
In fact, after last night's discussion, after the Black Dragon Army was also ready to change the combat plan, Yue Weihua did have the intention to let the Qing army go, and this matter had even been discussed, of course, the premise was that the Qing army knew the general situation and did not take the initiative to provoke, but on the contrary, they died by themselves and actually moved the people, which has already touched Yue Weihua's bottom line, if the Qing army does not repent, Yue Weihua does not mind, and it can be regarded as earning some points for himself to eliminate the Qing army in advance.
Back to the topic, Zeng Qi's question, Xu Shiming didn't answer it, but handed the letter to Zeng Qi, Xu Shiming originally thought that Zeng Qi would vomit blood after reading the letter, but he didn't think about it, Zeng Qi actually read it without a sound, and just sighed a little weakly, and did not show any anger.
"General, aren't you angry?" Xu Shiming wondered.
"Huh." Zeng Qi smiled faintly and said: "Military advisor, I see that you have stared at this letter more than twice, haven't you seen that it says that the 40,000 Qing troops on the South Road have been gray, and even Jilin General Changshun has been captured?" ”
"See." Xu Shiming said: "However, this is impossible, it should be talking big, when I arrived yesterday, I also asked the general, the general said that a day ago just with Jilin General Changshun through a telegram, there was no war, how can it be that a day and a night passed, 40,000 Qing troops will be ashes, and it is not 40,000 pigs, even if it is 40,000 pigs, let the Black Dragon Army catch it, it will take a few days, right?" ”
"Huh."
Zeng Qi still smiled faintly, but the laughter contained a lot of helplessness, and there was also disappointment in Xu Shiming, originally thought that Xu Shiming's arrival would be able to quickly reverse the unfavorable situation of the Qing army, but he didn't think about it, just made the first move, and let the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army personally issue such a warning to himself, and I don't know if this move will be a stupid move.
As for the destruction of the Qing army on the South Road, although Zeng Qi has not yet gotten the news, but the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army can say it in person, it must not be fake, because the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army He Xu Ren, he doesn't need to use this kind of thing to deceive himself, because he can't deceive himself, Zeng Qi wants to ask for proof of this matter, it won't take much time, so there is no need at all.
So, obviously, there are no more 40,000 Qing troops on the South Road, and there are no last reinforcements for themselves, and more importantly, a message is revealed from here, that is, the main force of the Black Dragon Army is not completely trapped in the wolf domain, after all, it can wipe out the 40,000 Qing army in just one day and one night, even if the Black Dragon Army is shocking, that strength is indispensable, at least there are tens of thousands of people.
The Black Dragon Army on the periphery can destroy 40,000 Qing troops on the South Road, so if you turn around and deal with yourself, or even combine the Black Dragon Army of the Eighteen Lianbao, then will you not be able to escape the fate of Jilin General Changshun?
In fact, at this moment, Zeng Qi didn't think that Yue Weihua was talking big, but that people had the strength to say this, so he sighed without too much anger.
Zeng Qi patted Xu Shiming's shoulder, and then ordered: "Go help me and summon the officers of the unified level and above in the Xiedu to come over to discuss the matter." ”
Xu Shiming was a little dumbfounded, how could it be such a reaction, shouldn't it, in fact, Zeng Qi originally wanted to explain it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not necessary, because people who had not personally experienced the battle with the Black Dragon Army would never be able to understand how the Black Dragon Army was perverted.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Youxiao and Liu Zhong took their subordinate generals and entered Zeng Qi's handsome tent one after another, and Zeng Qi did not hide it, and ordered someone to pass Yue Weihua's letter to everyone in turn, it should be said that most of the generals did not evaluate it much after reading it, of course, there were also those who pretended to be angry, and only a few of Liu Zhong's subordinates said a few words and scolded a few words of the Black Dragon Army, and even Liu Zhong himself did not say anything in the end, this scene, Xu Shiming was a little dumbfounded, I cried out in my heart: What is the situation?
"Originally, I planned to solve the problem of everyone's shortage of soldiers through local recruitment, but I didn't think about it, I just started to act, and I attracted the intervention of the Black Dragon Army, what do you think about this?"
Zeng Qi's words will definitely be passed down through the ages, when their own troops are recruited, the enemy needs to agree, and it is just a letter, so that the Qing army is so cautious, and all the generals are summoned to discuss, I have to say that this is absolutely unprecedented.
"Jiang Dutong, you also fought against the Black Dragon Army, in your opinion, what should you do?"
The scene was silent, no one answered, Zeng Qi had to name Jiang Youxiao to speak, after all, Jiang Youxiao has a heavy army, and his official position is second only to him, now the Qing army is less than 30,000 soldiers, Jiang Youxiao's command accounts for half, and Jiang Youxiao has also fought with the Black Dragon Army several times, and if he says it, it should be more convincing.
"Ahem." Jiang Youxiao coughed dryly before continuing: "Actually, before answering this question, I want to ask everyone here, who do you think will win this battle in the end, or what kind of ending will it end?" ”
This question is indeed difficult to answer, but this is a crucial question, in fact, everyone already has an answer in their hearts, that is, the Black Dragon Army will definitely not be defeated, otherwise it will not be a letter, just say that they are too scared to speak.
"Hehe, I'm ashamed to say it, our coalition army still has 100,000 troops so far, and the six countries are also likely to participate in the war, but no one has the confidence to defeat the Black Dragon Army, of course, including me Jiang Youxiao myself." Jiang Youxiao laughed at himself.
Originally, the arrival of the Six Nations Observer Mission gave great encouragement and confidence to the coalition forces, but because of Nikola Cage's encirclement and suppression operations, not only did not succeed in the encirclement and suppression, but instead allowed the other side to destroy a large amount of munitions, especially the equipment of the two artillery regiments.
Seeing that no one answered, Jiang Youxiao continued: "I don't know, have you carefully read the last sentence, 'I just want to let you go, I can't find a reason', what does this sentence mean?" ”
"What do you mean, if we do it, the Black Dragon Army will let us go?" Xu Shiming interjected.
"Hehe, all I can say is that this is possible." Jiang Youxiao smiled, and continued: "I don't know if you have such a feeling, that is, the Black Dragon Army seems to only have Tsarist Russia in its eyes, and for our Qing Army, the ugly thing to say is to look down on it and not put it in our eyes, but it can also be understood from another aspect, that is, the Black Dragon Army does not want to be our enemy, and unless, we take the initiative to provoke them." ”
"I think everyone should have heard that in Morgen, I landed on Overlord Beach with Nikola Cage, and Nikola Cage asked me to send a joint army to fight the vanguard, and as a result, the whole army of the association was wiped out, and on the same night, the Black Dragon Army launched a night attack on the camp of Tsarist Russia, killing more than 8,000 people in Tsarist Russia overnight, while the camp of our Qing army was almost unharmed."
"For another example, three days ago, on the day of the convergence of our eastern and western armies, the Black Dragon Army launched a large-scale artillery attack, and as a result, Tsarist Russia suffered heavy losses, with more than 10,000 casualties, while our Qing army suffered no more than 1,000 casualties."
"Don't you think that the Black Dragon Army seems to take good care of us?" Jiang Youxiao analyzed.
"Hehe, Jiang Dutong's words are wrong, since this is the case, then I want to ask, how to explain the battle of the Eighteen Lianbao and the destruction of nearly 10,000 of our Qing army overnight, and how to explain that the 40,000 people of General Changshun were also destroyed overnight?" Xu Shiming asked rhetorically.
"Xu Junshi, this is what I just mentioned, what Commander Yue of the Black Dragon Army wrote, 'Don't let me find a reason to let you go'."
"The first battle of the Eighteen Lianbao, as far as I know, it was General Zeng who led everyone to attack the city during the day, and then the people fought back, right?"
"As for the destruction of the Qing army on the South Road, in fact, I guess there are two reasons, one is that the composition of everyone on the South Road is complicated, and the army composed of those beards and militia groups has no military pay and logistics supply, so it must be looting along the way, and the arson is a bandit, which naturally touches the bottom line of the Black Dragon Army."
"Second, 40,000 troops came to help, and there are still so many troops on the periphery of the Black Dragon Army, why should they be allowed to come in to support? Isn't that easy to understand? ”
Jiang Youxiao was able to mix in the position of the capital, there was indeed some material in his stomach, and he looked at the problem very accurately, and a debate made Xu Shiming a little embarrassed, of course, Xu Shiming was reluctant to continue to refute, mainly because everyone did not refute, so he also shut up.
"So, my opinion is that since we are no match for the Black Dragon Army no matter what, and the Black Dragon Army doesn't want to treat us as opponents, why don't we work hard and wait for the Black Dragon Army and Tsarist Russia to divide the victory and defeat."
"As for the matter of catching strong men to replenish the troops, hehe, to put it mildly, even if we catch 20,000 strong men, what about it, Changshun's 40,000 army, of which 15,000 descendants, is not to say that it is gone, and if there are 20,000 more, what can it be?"
"That's my opinion."
When Jiang Youxiao said this, he directly closed his mind to recuperate.
"Jiang Dutong is right, everyone should talk about it, there are no taboos, just say what you want to say."
Zeng Qi's words were almost given to the wind volume of this letter, and also to the actual actions of the Qing army in the future.
"I suspend Jiang Dutong's opinion."
"I also second."
