Chapter 998: Acting Command
Wang Shichong forcibly endured the tears rolling in his eyes, watching the figure of Mai Tiezhu go farther and farther, gradually becoming blurred, and he didn't know if it was because of the tears or because he had gone far enough, he gritted his teeth, sat back on the Hu bed where Mai Tiezhu had sat just now, and said in a deep voice: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”
More than a dozen generals who were still on the platform stood in front of Wang Shichong, bowed their hands and saluted, and responded loudly: "I've seen General Wang!" ”
Wang Shichong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "General Mai has come forward to supervise the battle, I am waiting here, we must not slack off, we must do our duty, General Zhang!" ”
Ying Yanglang stood up Zhang Shigui: "Zhang Shigui is here, follow General Wang's order!" ”
Wang Shichong picked up an arrow on the handsome case, and said in a deep voice: "You take a thousand men and horses from your headquarters and quickly go to the camp of General Xue Shixiong of the rear army to carry a hundred carts of stones, there must be no mistake!" ”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Shigui's face: "This, General Xue is not my vanguard army, I'm afraid that even General Wang and General Mai will be difficult to command him." ”
Wang Shichong's face sank: "At the moment of the great enemy, there is no difference between your army and our army, they are all the army of the Great Sui, the battle situation of our front army, presumably General Xue also sees it in his eyes, you quickly take my general order to go, if there is a half-point delay, military law will be engaged!" ”
Zhang Shigui was so frightened that he was clever, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over the general's order, and ran down the general's platform in a puff of smoke.
Wang Shichong looked to the other side again: "Where is the commander of the Ma army?" ”
An eight-foot general, with a red face, lying silkworm eyebrows, and two scars on his face, came out. He said angrily: "The last general is arguing." Obey General Wang's orders! ”
Wang Shichong was very satisfied with Wang Bian's momentum. He smiled and said: "General Wang, this time you crossed the river, your horse team can't play a role, but it doesn't mean that you should do nothing here, please take your 10,000 horse army to the front line of the Liao River now, gallop along the river, and play waist drums." Blow the horn and make a strong voice for the soldiers who cross the river! Also, raise the dust and don't let the Goguryeo army see the reality of our army. ”
Wang Wei smiled slightly, stepped forward to take the military order, turned around and left: "Get the order!" ”
Wang Shichong turned his gaze to the person standing on the left again, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Wang Ren when the Chinese soldiers join the army!" ”
With a smile on his face, Wang Renze stood up and arched his hand at Wang Shichong: "Second uncle, Renze is here!" "This time when Wang Shichong went to Jiangdu. found a relationship and asked Wang Renze to also act with Mai Tiecane's department, and received the title of a lieutenant soldier to join the army. In fact, he wanted to grasp the movements of Mai Tiecane's department, but Mai Tiecane was unexpectedly named the vanguard of the whole army, and Wang Ren suddenly became Wang Shichong's important eyeliner in the vanguard army.
Wang Shichong's face changed, his brows furrowed, and he shouted: "Bold! Is the army a place for you to climb your relatives?! ”
Wang Ren was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly said: "The big handsome is above, the last general will lose his words for a while, and please punish the big handsome!" ”
Wang Shichong's face softened slightly, and nodded: "Now is the time of emergency, originally according to your disciplinary violations, you should be beaten with twenty military sticks, see that you have already known your mistakes, and the military situation in front is urgent, so for the time being, write down the twenty military sticks, if you commit it again, the two crimes will be punished together!" ”
Wang Ren didn't dare to take a breath of air, so he reluctantly agreed.
Wang Shichong picked up a token and said in a deep voice: "Now you take 3,000 Chinese army guards, go to the front line in person, and line up on the edge of the Liao River. ”
Wang Ren hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully took the token, turned around and retreated.
Wang Shichong looked at the three Mai brothers, these three were silent at this time, obviously very worried about their father's safety, he sighed secretly in his heart, picked up the fourth arrow, and said: "Jianya Captain Mai Zhongcai, Light Car Captain Mai Jicai received the order!" ”
Erlang Saburo of the Mai family glanced at each other, walked out, and arched his hand: "The last general!" Please also ask General Wang to give the order! ”
Wang Shichong nodded, handed over the arrow to the two, and said, "How many people are there in the pro-soldier troop that your Mai family brought this time?" ”
Mai Zhongcai replied: "Back to General Wang's words, this time the father brought a family of 1,100 people, and now they are all waiting in the audience. ”
Wang Shichong had already known the situation from Wang Renze, just now Mai Tiezhu only brought a few dozen generals to the river, but the Mai family soldiers did not bring it, he understood that this was the family property that Lao Mai wanted to leave to his three sons, but now the situation is urgent, and only this army is the most loyal to Mai Tiecane, and at a critical time, it may be possible to save Mai Tiecane's life.
He cleared his throat and said: "With the two of you taking this thousand families to the edge of Liaoshui, when you go, go to the ordnance camp and bring a thousand three-wheel strong crossbows, remember, use strong bows and hard crossbows to press the position, if our army on the opposite bank can't resist, after hearing the sound of gongs, you can retreat from the bridge, you two must lead this army to cover the opponent's friendly retreat with strong crossbows and long-range bows and arrows, but you must not cross the bridge to engage in battle, even if the troops on the other side are completely wiped out, without my order, you must not step on the pontoon bridge, and those who violate the order will not be spared!" ”
Mai Jicai was straightforward and said, "General Wang, if we see our father in distress on the other side, won't we save him?" ”
Wang Shichong's face sank: "No, the reason why your father didn't bring you and the Jiading Guards to the front line is to leave the capital for the three brothers in the future, this is also what he meant, don't disobey, if you need support, Ben will send other troops to go, your task is to hold down the position with a strong bow, and you must not let the cavalry of the Goguryeo army counterattack the beachhead!" ”
Mai Zhongcai and Mai Jicai suddenly realized, a look of gratitude appeared in their eyes, and they both bowed and retreated!
After arranging all this, Wang Shichong glanced around, and said to the remaining four or five generals on the platform, especially Mai Mengcai: "Everyone, the soldiers in front of us are fighting bloodily, and we must also perform our duties and responsibilities, and we must not slack off for a moment!" ”
The crowd shouted, "Follow the order of General Wang!" ”
On the stage of the commander of the Sui army, Yang Guang's brows gradually twisted together, although in order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, he did not sweat profusely like other military generals, walking around, sighing constantly, but his frowning brows and the ice cubes that kept stuffing his mouth clearly showed his current anxious mood.
Finally, Yang Guang couldn't help it, watching the bombardment of Goguryeo's boulders, which shocked the Sui soldiers running from the bridge to fall into the water, and many of the soldiers running in the rear turned around and began to run back, and the bridge began to crowd together, he said hatefully: "How did the wheat iron rod fight, now these soldiers dare not cross the bridge, and he is powerless to suppress it?"
