On June 26, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Xuanda army and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, under the welcome of the people of Beijing, left the Beijing division and drove to the direction of Liaodong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The direction of the march of the army is the line of Tongzhou, Sanhe, Yutian, Fengrun, Yongping, Funing, and Shanhaiguan.

The deadline given by the military headquarters to the generals was to arrive in Ningyuan on 20 July, and it was less than 900 miles from Beijing to Ningyuan, and the army only needed to walk 30 or 40 miles a day, which was very time-saving. Moreover, this way has passed, almost all of them are plain avenues, and the march is not difficult.

The army set off in a mighty way, because of the inner line march, so the cavalry was in the front, the infantry was in the rear, the baggage artillery was the last, and in addition to the army, there were countless people who transported grain and grass and baggage.

In the Battle of Jinzhou, how huge was the supply of grain and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops? In order to supply the grain and grass of the front-line army, the Ming Military Department and the Ministry of Industry mobilized tens of thousands of carriages and horses, from the Beijing Division to Shanhaiguan, day and night were full of people transporting grain and straw.

As a strong army on which all sides have pinned their hopes on the most, the supply of grain and grass is naturally the highest priority, and no one dares to be short or short, lest it cause unimaginable consequences.

However, at least ensuring that their own family has complete control over the grain and grass that can be eaten by the army for a month is the firm and unshakable principle of Wang Dou and the generals of the Jingbian Army, so the grain and grass on the east road are still with the army.

It's just that the baggage battalion gives priority to carrying weapons and ammunition, and the rest of the grain and grass is used to supervise the transportation of a civilian man. After all, 15,000 people ate a month's worth of grain and grass, and it was impossible for the limited carriages and horses of the baggage camp to carry them all at once.

Wang Dou's Chinese army commander camp has almost become the headquarters of the expeditionary army. Not only Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu gathered here, but also the prison army Wang Chengen and Zhang Ruoqi and others were here, and even Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion, squeezed in.

Fu Yingchong envied the handsome flag car of Wang Dou and the three of them, and muttered to Li Guozhen, the governor of Beijing, when he was in Beijing. It is related to the face of the children of Jingshi. Governor Li Guozhen also selected a chariot in the Beijing camp and asked the craftsmen to transform it overnight and make it into a banner chariot.

The rest remains the same, only the pole is one foot six feet high, a little shorter than the big banner of Wang Dou and the three people, after all, he is a deputy general, how can the flag be higher than the general army?

This time, Fu Yingchong's Shenji Battalion was in front of the camp. There were 5,000 men. Originally, there were many vacancies, but this time the expedition was huge, and our own troops were strong and strong, and there were strong armies such as the Jingbian Army. Many children in Beijing believe that this battle has a great chance to win military merits.

Therefore, many people tried every means to squeeze into the front camp, causing Fu Yingchong's battalion to not only be full, but also a lot more excessive, for this reason. Fu Yingchong has gained a lot of contacts.

The soldiers of the front battalion are composed of gunners and chariot battalions, and the gunners all use flintlock and rumi guns. Car camp. There were 300 rocket vehicles, a large number of light combat vehicles. Uploaded large and small Franc planes, etc., and carried weapons such as Divine Fire Flying Crows, Flying Thieves and Sky Thunder. At that time, there will also be Kamui General Cannon.

During the battle, it first bombarded with artillery, then fired with rockets, and finally shot with Lumi guns, and from the early Ming Dynasty to the present, the tactics of the Shenji Battalion have actually been very mature. If a warrior can fight bravely, his power should not be underestimated.

The front camp of the Shenji Battalion is theoretically an infantry army, but many people have horses and mules, and many of the children of the Beijing division go out to fight for the first time, all of them are full of interest, walking like flying, and singing loudly along the way.

Not to mention that Wang Dou and others nodded when they saw it, even the supervising army Wang Chengen, Zhang Ruoqi and others also thought that the Shenji Battalion was usable and their morale was commendable.

In order to show the martial courage of the army and make the people of Beijing excited, plus the military department pulled out a lot of marching and scattering medicines, although the sun was still scorching today, Wang Dou and others still decided to march all day, and walked out of the boundary of Beijing in one breath and arrived in Tongzhou.

In June, it was still relatively cool before the end of the day, but after the day, especially at noon, the sun was quite violent, especially dusty, and it was even hotter. …,

Moreover, the current official road is in disrepair, not to mention potholes, and it is still full of thick sediment and dust. Some mud pits have a smooth surface, and if you step on them, the dust will hit your whole body and face, and no matter how shiny your clothes are, you will soon become a beggar.

By this time, those Jingying soldiers couldn't sing, but everyone still insisted on going to Tongzhou.

In the next few days, they began to curse and procrastinate, and finally handed over their armor and weapons to the baggage team that accompanied the army for transportation. When the Xuanda army saw it, they couldn't help but despise them, and secretly scolded: "Embroidered pillow soldiers." ”

Wang Chengen and Zhang Ruoqi frowned, Fu Yingchong was embarrassed, he shouted angrily, and let these Shenji Battalion soldiers follow, which inevitably summoned the resentment of many people, and made the connections he had gained not long ago lose a lot.

Wang Dou also shook his head, could it be that in the last days of the dynasty, the descendants of the nobles and military merits will eventually become the children of the Eight Banners? When the Manchurians rose, they were also considered martial arts, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, what kind of virtue and wretchedness? How to solve this problem, he couldn't help but think deeply.

……

Due to the very hot weather, after that, the army was like Wang Douchu and Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu discussed, the army rested at noon to Shen, and hurried before the morning and evening, so as to finally avoid the hot time.

On this day, the army arrived at Yutian, and the sentry cavalry came to report, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of the East Association, and Wang Tingchen, the chief soldier of the Qiantun Guard, each led 10,000 troops to join.

The generals who came to the aid, Li Fuming, the general soldier of Shanxi, was already in Liaodong, Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, and Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, also led the army to Ningyuan. Their troops, Tang Tong led 10,000 troops, Bai Guangen's Jizhen was a big town, leading an army of 20,000, Shanhaiguan was the closest to Ningyuan, and the total soldier Ma Ke led an army of 30,000.

Of course, most of the men and horses in their headquarters are thousands, and the remaining officers and soldiers are mostly soldiers and horses in the battalions of various deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas in the town.

In this way, counting about 50,000 people in the three towns of the Xuanda Army, the soldiers of the front battalion of the Shenji Battalion, the soldiers and horses of Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, the soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui, the soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui, the soldiers of the garrison battalions of the forts in Liaodong, and the Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, there are more than 20,000 soldiers in Jinzhou City, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Liaodong by the Ming Dynasty, which is superior on the surface.

However, Wang Dou knew that Huang Taiji would soon come to the country, and the total number of troops mobilized was as high as 240,000.

In fact, Miyun, Zunhua, and Yutian are all under the rule of Jizhen Town, just like Wangdou East Road, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers entered the Kou, that is, from the Jizhen break, in order to strengthen the defense of the Beijing Division, the Guanning general Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen who dared to fight, were left in Tunzunhua and Yutian by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, so although Wang Tingchen called the former Tunwei (not far from Gaoshan Customs) general army, he was still stationed in Yutian, Jizhen Town.

They are nominally controlled by Bai Guangen, but in fact, Bai Guangen can't control them.

Now the two soldiers are a lot stronger, in addition to the 3,000 cavalry in the main barracks, there are also 3,000 new troops each, both equipped with the excellent bird guns given by Wang Dou, as well as the powerful medicine, all of them are full of confidence, and they all want to make new contributions in the war they are facing.

The convergence of the army was overjoyed, Wang Tingchen was still so heroic, Cao Bianjiao was still so calm, like Wang Pu and others, the two of them coincidentally expressed envy for Wang Dou's handsome flag car of the three people, and couldn't wait for Wang Dou to see the new army they had trained.

Wang Dou also took a closer look at the new army of the two, just like the new army trained by Yang Guozhu, the sergeants in their battalion were also young and strong. The firecrackers are all wearing red cotton armor, the pikemen are wearing cyan waist-length armor, and the red side of the mandarin duck battle jacket is exposed, which is slightly different from Yang Guozhu's new army.

Their military appearance is slightly worse than Yang Guozhu's new army, better than Wang Pulian's new army, obviously, the two of them also worked hard and spent a lot of money and food.

Wang Douzan said: "They are all good soldiers, and when they return from the expedition to Liaodong, they will be a strong army." ”…,

The supervising army Wang Chengen and Zhang Ruoqi also nodded and were very happy, there are more and more strong troops in the Ming Dynasty, and the war in Liaodong is promising.

What made Wang Dou pay attention was that in the past, Cao Bianjiao attacked Yang Shaofan in the guerrilla, and now he has accumulated merit as a general, and Cao Bianjiao's new military camp is led by him, which shows that Cao Bianjiao attaches great importance to him.

This dignified young man, who is only twenty-six or seventeen years old now, has experienced the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and his demeanor is more stable, and he has the style of a famous general. Obviously, after the battle of Liaodong, this person will be even more eye-catching.

However, Wang Dou always felt that his tranquil appearance, deep as the sea, was quite similar to his general Gao Xun.

……

At this time, the army of nearly 70,000 was even more powerful, and the black pressure of the banner was like a dark cloud. In such a grand occasion, Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising army, couldn't help but be full of poetry, and several people from the military department chanted poems all the way, and when they arrived at Shanhaiguan, they chanted at least 50 poems.

It is okay for all generals to fight, but it is naturally not good for poetry to be right, but among the generals, Wang Douwencai's name has risen. His Han final army, and the gentleness of the most bowed head, were quite appreciated by everyone, especially Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion, who coaxed Wang Dou to chant a few more good poems.

In fact, whether Wang Douyin's poems are good or not, how can Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong see it?

However, Wang Pu looked forward to the king's fighting horse, and Fu Yingchong also saw that although his own Shenji battalion was well equipped, its combat power was worrying. The generals are kind to themselves on the surface, but in fact they despise them in their hearts, and even Wang Chengen and others are angry with them.

Only the loyal and brave Uncle Wang Dou always looked kind, and there was no contempt, which moved Fu Yingchong.

Xun Gui's son, sensitive heart, most hated others to look down on, under the seal of all parties, Fu Yingchong decided to be like Wang Pu, strongly moved closer to Wang Dou, whether he can get military merits in the future, it depends on the care of Zhongyong Bo.

Under this kind of thinking, although Wang Dou really can't write poems, Fu Yingchong still sighs that Zhongyong is humble and should be an example for everyone.

On July 14, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the army arrived at Shanhaiguan and went out of Shanhaiguan, which was outside the pass.

When the army arrived at Shanhaiguan, it was almost dusk, and the sunset was shining through, casting a layer of golden brilliance on this Xiongguan.

The generals guarding the pass and the people in the city organized a grand gong and drum corps in order to welcome the army. In the tidal cheers and noisy gongs and drums, Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Fu Yingchong, Wang Chengen, Zhang Ruoqi and others stepped on the steps of the ancient city wall and appeared on the city tower.

They watched the heavily armed soldiers under the city, with neat steps, constantly passing through the Xiongguan and entering the land outside the pass.

The flag is like the sea, the mighty steel torrent, the front can not see the head, the back can not see the tail, keep advancing...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
