Chapter Ninety-Three: Out of the City
"Big Daddy, Second Daddy, let's go first with our brothers."
Li Yuchun and the two brothers stood by the door, next to a big car, several servants stood aside and waited, Li Yuchun persuaded bitterly: "The news in Shenyang is about to be broken, if Shenyang is lost, several places in Fengji Fort have also been abandoned, the next step is for Liaoyang to face the soldiers, the soldiers are in danger, this is a great thing, why should the two stay in this dangerous situation?" ”
Zheng Dianshi touched his head, looked at his brother again, and said with a smile: "You are still alarmist, didn't you report to Shenyang for the first time, General You and General He won the first battle." There are 70,000 or 80,000 people over there, 60,000 under the command of General He, 15,600 people under the command of General You soldiers, nearly 80,000 people, guarding such a big city, even if you can't defeat the Dongyu, if you can't defend it, it will take several months to defend it, right? Even if Dongyu succeeds, it must be tired of soldiers and horses, where does it still have the strength to come to my Liaoyang! ”
"This is what the second father heard from someone, right?"
"Exactly." Zheng Xiucai said: "It's right for the two elder brothers to leave, the state is not in danger, the two families are not in Liaoyang, and leaving is also being done, but Liaoyang is very stable." ”
"In the past two days, some squires have left, and the two of you really don't think about it?"
Zheng Xiucai has been very close to the people of the Jinglu Yamen for a while, he knows that Jingliu personally formed a pro-army, and all the heroes in the selected armies are very skilled, this battalion was named the Tiger Brigade Army by Yuan Yingtai, Yuan Yingtai personally managed the belt, and all the officers were selected by him, and the backbone was the family recruited by Yuan Yingtai himself, on loyalty and reliability. Of course, it is more than a hundred times stronger than ordinary battalion soldiers, and there are these thousands of pro-troops around him, plus seventy or eighty thousand garrisons in the city. Yuan Yingtai felt a lot of certainty.
This kind of confidence, of course, affected the staff around him, and in a later way, it also affected Zheng Xiucai and other city gentry who worked on the periphery.
"Don't go, if you want to go, please hurry." Zheng Dianshi hurriedly replied: "I heard that in order to appease people's hearts and be vigilant at the same time, the gates of each city will be closed from tomorrow, and only the east gate and the small west gate will be opened for an hour and a half every day. It is used to communicate inside and outside, and it is also very tight to check in this way. Brother Xian needs to go to Fuzhou early. ”
"Well, let's cherish it."
Zheng Dianshi has two daughters, and it is inconvenient to come out to see him off at this time. Only the youngest son, born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, at this time also followed the adult to say goodbye to the two brothers of the Li family, Li Guangchun touched the top of the child's head, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, the two brothers were not as optimistic about the battle situation as the Zheng brothers, the two of them lived in Liaoyang for a period of time, and deeply felt that the military discipline of the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen was corrupted, and the equipment was not repaired. There is no training, the battalion soldiers do not have the fighting spirit at all, such an army. How is it possible to win a battle?
If Yuan Yingtai is a cowardly and incompetent strategy, there is still a chance to hold on to the fortified city, if he is so arrogant and incompetent, he will be defeated.
"I hope to see you again in this life!" After everyone gave up, Li Yuchun and Li Guangchun glanced at each other, in their minds. It's all like that.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be polite."
In the Jingluo Mansion, Yuan Yingtai was wearing a red official robe. Standing at the bottom of the steps, under the steps is Tong Zhonghui and Chen Ce's two general soldiers, deputy general Qi Jin staff general Wu Wenjie guerrilla Zhou Dunji and other generals of the southern army of Sichuan and Zhejiang, the generals stood solemnly saluted, Yuan Yingtai supported him, politely said, and then said: "Shenyang was besieged by the eastern captives, this Jinglu decided to send reinforcements, the southern army was the vanguard first, the main force of the northern army was behind, the front and rear armies were 60,000 people, Shenyang city was 80,000 people, the main force gathered 140,000 people, and the captives and cavalry would not exceed 60,000. ”
Chen Ce, the chief soldier with white eyebrows, arched his hand and said: "My generation of martial artists has been fighting horses all their lives, and what they have done is nothing more than this day and now, please rest assured, our generation will definitely kill the enemy, and will never let the imperial court waste food and salary." ”
"Come on."
A team of pro-soldiers presented wine bowls to the generals present, and Yuan Yingtai himself raised a glass and saluted: "Gentlemen, please drink this cup to the full, kill the enemy and serve the country, and receive rewards for meritorious service." ”
"Xie Jingluo!"
The generals drank the bowls, thanked the Jingluo, the two general soldiers were in front, and the generals followed behind, Yuan Yingtai sent the generals of the Southern Army to leave, and only after seeing that these generals had left, did he order his Chinese army: "The Southern Army is weak, how can it endure a long war?" Tell Li Bingcheng and Zhu Wanliang to help Shen in the battle, in the end, it depends on them to fight, fight this battle for me, everyone's fame and wealth are naturally still in my hands, otherwise, Fengji Fort and Tiger Skin Post lost twice, which is enough to destroy them! By the way, that Han Xu, since Wang Datun is no longer guarded, he thought of what kind of excitement the southern army had, and gave him an order by the way, ordering him to go to serve under Li Bingcheng immediately, I heard that he has hundreds of elite horsemen, and he is extremely brave, he is a brave general with ten thousand enemies, you might as well encourage him a few words! As long as all the generals are willing to work hard, what is that little bit of people! ”
"Yes, Lord Jinglue!"
……
The Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army were finally dispatched.
The two armies together have about 10,000 people, and the Sichuan army has 7,000 people, in fact, they come from two large Tusi tribes, and the Zhejiang army has 3,000 people, thousands of miles away to Liaozhen.
Three years is also a lot of time for a person's life, Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers have been in Liaodong for a long time, and even the accent of their speech has changed a lot, after all, they are not in the barracks all year round do not go out, their bodies are inevitably branded with the mark of the land of Liaodong.
More than 10,000 people from the east gate rushed out, before that, the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers were stationed in the Fengji Fort area and Liaoyang City, and later the initial battle of Fengji was unfavorable, Yuan Yingtai did not use them, the first battle of the Tiger Skin Station was unfavorable, Yuan Yingtai still did not use them, the first battle of Shenyang was unfavorable, the whole city was besieged, Yuan Yingtai finally remembered them at this time, but the southern army was not used as the main force, in Yuan Yingtai's heart the southern army was only the forward, the main force was of course the northern army behind them Liaozhen-based soldiers and horses.
Of course, ordinary soldiers would not know that the officers and men of the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army marching inside and outside the city gate showed a look of pride and pride on their faces, no matter what, the southern army was going to fight.
"God willing, it's a success."
A Liaoyang person shouted, thousands of people should be together, people shouted, the sound of waves gathered together, floating high in the sky, reaching the sky.
"God forbid." Zhou Dunji was wearing cotton armor, with an iron helmet on his head, and his personal soldiers and horses were hunched with a thick iron armor behind their backs, and there were insert pockets on both sides of the horse's body, which was Zhou Dunji's big knife, when he rode out of the city, Zhou Dunji heard people's shouts, and saw the faces behind him, he tilted his huge head, and grinned: "Killing captives depends on the big knives of a certain family and the spears of the sons, and you can win just by shouting a few words, which is really laughing to death." ”
"In any case, it is the good will of the people." Wu Wenjie looked at the city quietly on the side, in recent years, there have been no conflicts between the Liao people and the southern army, and there have even been several large-scale brawls, the language is incomprehensible, the habits are different, the locals bully people, and the guest army also has a group to violate military discipline, no matter what, it is enough to hear such a shout when going out on the expedition.
