Chapter 168: Take the initiative

~~~~~~

The sky was gloomy, from time to time there were lightning and lightning across the sky, although the storm weakened a lot, but the rain has not stopped, the wind is still raging, look at this appearance, the storm is afraid to continue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It was midday, and visibility was much higher.

As far as the eye can see, although the waves on the sea are still turbulent, they have weakened a lot compared to the morning, and the flotilla leaning in the bay has swayed much less than in the morning.

Li Yuanqing carefully got out of the shack and came to the open space on the side, where a moist cold wind blew in his face.

The wind is still not small, but it has weakened a lot compared to the big storm, Li Yuanqing estimated that if the wind is 7 to 8 or above during the big storm, at this time, it should be about 3 to 4, people standing in the wind, can clearly feel the strong wind, but not so that people can't control their bodies, barely able to move freely.

At this time, the camp was full of chaos, and many soldiers had been injured in the storm just now, and they gathered in groups of three or five, carefully gathered together, relying on each other's body temperature for warmth, and they should be fine for the time being.

The bay camp is in a low-lying terrain, not far from the slope of about a mile, there are still a lot of corpses of war horses that were swallowed by the storm just now, and many Houjin soldiers also eased up at this time and secretly spied on the camp of the Ming army here.

Li Yuanqing glanced around, and it was already clear that the storm just now, the impact on the side of the Houjin Army should be even more serious.

Mo said that at this time, even in later generations, the scientific and technological civilization has been so developed, but in the face of this natural disaster, there is still a lack of strong response plans.

Li Yuanqing was not worried about the Houjin Army not far away at this time, he was more worried that the weather would continue to deteriorate, once the scope of the storm continued to increase, causing earthquakes and tsunamis, then ~~, the foundation of the three departments, including the lives of Li Yuanqing and the others, would be dangerous.

At this time, although the bay camp can be avoided for a while, it is absolutely unavoidable.

Although the Houjin side was embarrassed at this time, in fact, this was mainly due to their lack of preparation, and once the big storm hit again, the hillside area where they were located was a safer position.

"Yuanqing, the wind has decreased a lot now, we can't stay here for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to board the ship, shall we? Chen Zhong also crawled out of the shack at this time, glanced around, and whispered to Li Yuanqing.

Zhang Pan also crawled out, he didn't know what had been cut on his face, he was already scarred, a little hideous, seeing this appearance, he also said: "Yuanqing, it's not too late to make amends." The weather here is too bad, we can't ink here anymore, it's not far from Changsheng Island, let's go back to Changsheng Island first, and then make plans, right? ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, but said, "You can't rush this beforehand." I think this storm will continue. If we are stranded at sea, it will be more dangerous than here. Besides, we still have a lot of brothers who haven't come here, and we can't leave yet. ”

Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong were both stunned, they didn't expect that at this time and now, Li Yuanqing would hesitate.

Chen Zhong hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, we can go back and save people, but we don't have much food and grass anymore, and if we ink here and be surrounded by the Houjin army, it won't be good." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "The sea is here." We have a boat, what are we afraid of? Two brothers, I still have some grain and grass on my boat, enough to last a few days. Besides, Changsheng Island is so close that it can replenish grain and grass at any time. These dog tartars dare to chase us all the way, if they are so cheap, won't they make them think that we are easy to bully? ”

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan couldn't help but be shocked, Zhang Pan said a little incredulously: "Yuanqing, you, you mean, let's kill these dog Tartars again?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Not bad." Two brothers, we are very tired now, they have livestock, they must be even more tired. I'm going to give them a hard blow. Two brothers, you two don't need to go out, you just need to guard the camp. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing waved his hand over Huang Guoshan and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Huang Guoshan nodded vigorously, and soon, the camp was full of running heralds.

In normal times, the assembly order of the Changsheng Battalion was all the sound of drums, but now, the baggage has been discarded, and the drum naturally cannot be carried, besides, the wind is very strong, and the transmission of the sound is very poor, but it is not as good as the messenger's running and transmitting.

The various departments of the Changsheng Battalion are organized with the general as the core, and even if they are scattered, the small force is not far from the general commanders of the various departments, and it does not take much effort.

Seeing this, Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong hurriedly began to convene various ministries, wanting to help Li Yuanqing, but unfortunately, they did not have the awareness of the training mechanism of the Changsheng Camp, and when they took action, they would be much more chaotic and casual.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Changsheng Camp had been assembled, but Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong's side were still in a mess.

has come to this point, Li Yuanqing can't take care of the two of them.

The own side is recovering, and similarly, this also means that the Houjin army is also recovering.

War, sometimes not only tactics, strategy and equipment, but also not just the so-called 'right time, place and people', more often, requires the commander's improvisation, the sense and understanding of the battlefield, and the most crucial point, that is, to have a decisive decision, dare to fight, dare to fight.

This is also why, throughout the ages, there are thousands of people who are familiar with military books, but there are always very few famous generals who can leave their names.

Because of the two palaces of Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, Li Yuanqing no longer needed to stay behind to guard the camp and fleet, and the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion quickly assembled into the most familiar phalanx according to the drills on weekdays.

Li Yuanqing was in the middle, and the steel knife suddenly came out of its sheath, "Changsheng Battalion, move forward." ”

In a moment, as the heralds ran back and forth, the officers of the various departments shouted loudly, and the phalanx of the Changsheng Battalion, like a slow-moving machine, slowly pressed towards the direction of the Houjin camp on the hillside.

On the hillside, the Houjin army, who had been looking at the Ming army's camp, was also dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that in such weather and under such terrain conditions, the Ming army dared to risk the world and launch an attack against the trend, they, are they crazy?

But this phalanx has already left a deep memory on them yesterday, how dare they slack off? Hurriedly notified the three masters.

The weather was so bad, everything around was wet, and it was impossible to light a bonfire, and the three Jialazhangjing were huddled under a big tree, discussing how to deal with the situation in front of them while keeping warm, but suddenly got the news that the Ming army had taken the initiative to attack.

They couldn't believe it, and hurriedly ran to the front to investigate.

Looking at the slow but familiar phalanx of the Ming army, the three of them looked at each other, and their faces were a little unsightly.

The forty-year-old Lazhang Jing said: "These Ming dogs are simply too deceitful. They simply don't take our big gold seriously. Wait, I'll teach them now. ”

As he spoke, he turned and left.

"Soton, what are you anxious about? Have you forgotten yesterday's lesson? The blue flag of Jia Lazhangjing hurriedly grabbed Suotong, his face stern.

Although Suotong is old, he is angry at this time, but he is not stupid, if he hits the Ming army now, even if he is high and down, he can gather horsepower to a greater extent, but the Ming army is very tight, even if he can make some gains, the price must not be small.

Although the Houjin army was invincible, in fact, the casualty ratio they could bear was very, very low.

In that year, under the city of Yangzhou, in the face of the strict defense of the Ming army, the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry often dispersed in a hurry after more than 100 people were killed and wounded.

This is also a great characteristic of nomads.

The tailwind battle is almost invincible, but once the wind is headwinded, there are almost no people who can fight tough battles, including the elite of the old slave and the two yellow flags.

"Kurtu, the Ming army has bullied us in the face, you say, what do you say we should do?" Suotong hurriedly looked at the blue flag of Jialazhangjing.

This Jurchen took the name of a Mongol.

Kurtu's eyes narrowed slightly, and of course he could see the contempt in Solton's eyes.

It's something that can't be put into words, but it's something that can be felt clearly.

In terms of bloodline, he is the blood of Aixin Jueluo, but unfortunately, his father's death was early, and he was forced to helplessly, his mother remarried and married a Mongolian from the Horqin Department, he grew up behind the Mongolian ass and in the yurt since he was a child, and also learned all the essence of the Mongolian skills.

Since he joined the army as a teenager, he started from the most basic defenders, step by step, and now, he has made countless military exploits, if according to merit and bloodline, he is promoted to Baylor, and he is definitely qualified, but unfortunately, he has not even mixed up with Beizi now.

Kurtu understood that all of this was due to his Mongol legacy, which made others feel that he was not a pure Jurchen, even if he was the bravest warrior.

"What to do? What else can I do? Are you going to bite this hedgehog? Kurtu said coldly.

Originally, in the face of such a situation, Kurtu didn't want to entangle with this Ming army, just take a step back, after all, they had the advantage of horsepower, but Suotong's eyes deeply pierced his heart.

At this time, he only has a force of Niu Lu under his command, but Suotong has 4, in the past, he was able to bluff Suotong, but by virtue of his previous record and his bloodline, but at this time, the three of them, two days down, the benefits did not get half a point, but they ate a butt of ashes, and they were drenched in rain for a day, and then wanted to gather the hearts of the army, how could it be so easy?

If this Sotun wanted to die, how could Kurtu stop him?

Looking at Kurtu's appearance, the anger in Suotong's heart became even worse, a miscellaneous person raised by the Mongols, what was his spirit?

"Shuqi, what do you think?" Suotong didn't bother to pay any more attention to Kurtu, and looked at another red-flaged Jialazhangjing next to him.

There are 5 Niu Lu under Shu Qi's command, which is in a full state, and it is also the most powerful of the three at this time.

Although he is young, only in his early thirties, he is Yue Tuo's henchman, the man with his arms, at this time, looking at the Ming army that slowly surged up like ants, he smiled coldly, "This Ming army is really rampant, I have to teach them a lesson." Soton, let's make two bulls each, and teach them a good lesson. ”

Soton laughed, "Okay. Very good. That's it. Come, gather the warriors in formation. ”

Only himself, Suotong still has some scruples, but at this time, Shu Qi opened his mouth, how could he refuse?

Soon, 4 cattle on the hillside, more than 1,000 cavalry, began to disturb the whole team.

It's just that the storm in the morning frightened the war horses a lot, and at this time, even if the soldiers shouted loudly, they were not very obedient.

Kurtu watched this scene coldly and remained silent.
