August 14, 14th year of Chongzhen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the sky was bright, the camps of the Ming and Qing dynasties were already noisy.

Looking down on the earth through the clouds and mist, the fields are picturesque, the city houses are like lattices, the camps are like small bags bulging, and mushrooms are growing.

At this time, inside and outside these small bags, people flow in and out like ants, full of an atmosphere of mountain rain and wind full of buildings.

Xiaoling River is like a jade belt, meandering from Jinzhou City, Shimen Mountain southeast flows, looking at the north bank, the flag sea can not see the edge, continuous camps spread all over the earth. From these camps, from time to time rushed out some Qing army sentry horses with small flags on their backs. They ran all the way to the edge of the river, carefully observed the Ming army on the opposite side who were preparing to cross the river, and then ran back to the camp.

These sentinels were in waves, one after another.

When the slightest morning light came out of the fog, in the camp of the Ming army, the sound of horns and golden drums sounded even more, waking up the Huang Taiji of Rufeng Mountain City, he silently came to the lookout of the battlement wall, holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking down the mountain.

Look at the Songshan Fort, Songshan Ridge, Loess Ridge, and the west bank of the Xiaoling River, the Ming army heralds wearing uniforms and holding the order flag are rushing in and out.

Outside the battalions, patches of red flags kept gathering, and he thought to himself: "The Ming army is about to be dispatched." ”

……

In the tent of the commander of the Jingbian army, Wang Dou opened his eyes, feeling that he was full of energy and had endless strength, and he had a good night's sleep last night.

It is also strange that before a major event, Wang Dou can sleep very soundly, and there is rarely a phenomenon of tossing and turning.

He lifted the soft, smooth cloud satin brocade quilt. Grunted from the thick mattress. Walking barefoot, there is a thick and soft cashmere carpet, and a feeling of warmth and comfort comes to my heart. Not far away, a smoker, is curling wisps of smoke, a faint fragrance wafting, smelling in the nose, has the effect of calming the mind.

Wang Dou is used to sleeping naked, of course, it is impossible to be all naked. Still wearing a pair of obscene pants, the muscles that are exposed on the outside are knotted, shiny,

Stretch your body a little. A body of bone marrow crackled.

Wang Dou nodded with satisfaction, his body and figure are good.

Hearing the movement, several soldiers of the guard battalion on duty walked into the tent, they were all tall and burly, with hats and helmets, long armor, exposed armor, fine and fine water, with copper buckles and belts, and their demeanor was modest. Fierce and heroic. It is not easy to enter the guard battalion, you need to go through the review of the Suppression Department and the Intelligence Department, loyalty is the first, and in the personal force, they are also outstanding.

These soldiers came in, and one of the guards with a big head and a simple expression picked up the middle coat on the hanger next to him, looked at Wang Dou's body and praised: "The general's body is strong. ”

Wang Dou took the middle coat and put it on, and said with a smile: "Big head, you are getting better and better at talking." ”

Seeing him scratching his head in embarrassment, the soldiers next to him laughed. and served Wang Dou with all hands and feet.

To his subordinates, Wang Dou was actually quite gentle, and sometimes made a few jokes, and everyone in the Jingbian Army felt that the general was majestic and gentle, and he was really a good lord.

Under their service. Wang Dou quickly got dressed, while some of the guards sorted out the contents of the tent.

Wang Dou's big tent. In addition to all kinds of weapons, there are as many bookshelves as possible, which are full of soldiers, all kinds of books from all dynasties and so on. At this time, several famous works have come out, as well as various versions of the Golden Vase Plum, and Wang Dou has also collected a few sets to watch dialectically and analyze.

The style of his big tent is atmospheric and thick.

In fact, when it comes to Wang Dou's current status, any luxury enjoyment is not a problem, but Wang Dou is relatively indifferent to this, after all, all the enjoyments of this era are not as good as those of later generations.

Of course, indifferently and indifferently, Wang Dou will not have the conditions to enjoy it, to deliberately live that kind of hard life, material requirements, he only has one point, comfortable, comfortable.

In the tent, he finished grooming, in this era, there were already toothbrushes and toothpaste, toothpaste is still pure Chinese herbal medicine, but ordinary people, mostly use young branches and green salt. The Jingbian Army is also the most hygienic army, it is an ordinary soldier, and it is equipped with toothbrushes and toothpaste.

After putting on the armor, Wang Dou came out of the tent, and there were layers of armored warriors outside, and when they saw Wang Dou, they all saluted him with guns.

Wang Dou nodded slightly, and saw that the soldiers in the camp of the Chinese army outside the tent were busy, packing up their armor and weapons, and preparing for the upcoming battle.

However, there was not much nervousness on everyone's faces, and fighting a war and a big battle was something that the Jingbian army was accustomed to.

The distribution of Wang Dou's large battalion is that the Chinese army is in the middle, and the rest of the battalion is separated from the front and back, and the structure is rigorous. Around his tent, there are tents for guards, praises, soothing, and comforting officials. Then there are the battalions under the Chinese army, such as the artillery barracks, the cavalry barracks, the sentry battalions, and the baggage battalions.

Under the command of Zhong Tiaoyang, the commander of the guard, he packed up Wang Dou's Yuanrong car, the Jingbian army marshal's flag, the watchpole car, the major drum car, etc., and put saddle harness on each vehicle, ready to be towed at any time.

In the battle of Loess Ridge on the same day, Wang Dou lent the Yuan Rong car to Yang Guozhu, and Yang Guozhu returned it after the war, and Wang Dou did not pretend to give in.

This time, he also has to go to the front line, of course Yuan Rong's car has to sit by himself, after all, his vehicle is a sharp weapon that can resist Hongyi's heavy artillery.

Seeing Wang Dou come out, Zhong Tiaoyang came to visit, he was in charge of camp affairs on weekdays, and Wang Dou just asked a few words as usual.

In fact, now all ministries perform their own duties, and at all times, the Jingbian Army is in good order, and many times, most of Wang Dou's work is to sign and seal.

Soon, Chi Dacheng, the commander of the Shuai Battalion Command, Wang Tianxue, the medical officer, Qin Yi and others came out of the account one by one, and they all came to pay tribute to Wang Dou.

Wang Dou led everyone to inspect the Chinese army camp as usual. The cavalry camp and the sentry camp were also prepared early, and the baggage camp was much more empty than in the past. After receiving Xie Yike's information, Wang Dou sent most of the soldiers in the battalion back to the Changling Mountain defense line, leaving only the hundreds of bombardiers.

When I arrived at Zhao Xuan's artillery barracks, it was also a busy scene.

Zhao Xuan was shouting over there, directing everyone in the camp to put the artillery on mules and horses, and load some shells and gunpowder onto the ammunition truck. Then the ammunition cart was likewise attached to a mule.

The battle of the artillery barracks was critical. You need to follow the cavalry and quickly reach the daughter river to block the Qing soldiers who may cross the river.

On the ammunition truck of the artillery barracks, many cotton medicine bags have been replaced by silk medicine bags.

After that day, with Wang Dou's consent, Zhao Xuan hurriedly ordered a batch of silk from a silk merchant and made a batch of silk medicine bags.

After trials, indeed, the launch of the silk medicine pack. Compared with the cotton medicine pack, the overheating of the cannon chamber is greatly reduced, and the Hongyi cannon in the artillery barracks can even fire ten to fifteen cannons to dissipate heat. There is also the primer of the fire gate. Zhao Xuan found a large number of goose feather tubes and chicken feather tubes, and after experiments, finally decided to use goose feather medicine tubes.

These seemingly inconspicuous reforms greatly strengthened the power of Zhao Xuan's artillery barracks, making him smile from ear to ear all day long.

Look at the hourglass hour, this is the time of Mao, there is still some time left before the time when the armies assemble, Wang Dou ordered the officers and generals of the middle military camp, as well as the rear battalion general Han Chao, and the right battalion general Zhong Xiancai. Go to your own big tent to eat, and by the way, verify and discuss the strategy of the big war.

……

At this time, it was time for the entire Jingbian Army to have breakfast, and today's meal was very rich, more seafood. To be honest, many people in the inland military and civilians are not used to eating seafood, but that is a critical statement in later generations, this era. As long as it is food and meat, no one will refuse to eat or drink.

The rear of the right battalion is the first to be the first to be the second and second divisions.

Han Kaihui tasted a bite of oyster soup and felt weird. It's a hard taste to describe, but taste it carefully. There is also a fresh taste, and after drinking too much, I also think the oyster soup is good.

I don't want to think about this, it's about to go to war, let's eat enough first, thinking of this, Han Kaihui gulped out the rice in the bowl.

Looking at the brothers in Jiazhong, they all ate a lot.

The Jingbian Army is rich in all kinds of equipment, that is, it is camped in the field, and there are also a large number of horses in the army, so there is no need to sit on the ground when eating.

At this time, Han Kaihui's armor was a large horse zha, which was used as a table, and the rest of the soldiers sat on the small horse zaar.

After the battles of the past few days, these second-class armies have matured rapidly, from the beginning of the battle, facing the food that is difficult to swallow, to now gobbling up, the coming war, will not affect everyone's appetite at all.

However, at this time, there were three less people in Han Kaihui's armor, that is, in the battle a few days ago, Chen Pet and several people were killed, so that Zhao Rongsheng, the commander of the armor, and Han Kaihui, a small soldier, were all grieved, but the blood of their comrades also made them grow rapidly. However, the first armor has a few fewer troops, but it will not be replenished for a while and a half, and it is necessary to wait for the arrival of the reserve army on the eastern route.

After eating and drinking, the firefighters took away the big maza and the chopsticks, and Han Kaihui took out a soft muslin cloth and carefully tried his beloved spear.

Looking around, the soldiers of the Jingbian Army wearing hats and helmets and bright red armor are all like this.

Especially for those bird-screws, the work of equipment is even more cumbersome.

Next to Han Kaihui sat Liu Lie, although he was smaller than Han Kaihui, he was tall and strong, and the pony squeaked under his ass.

He finished his spear, drew his head knife and sharpened it with a whetstone, he gritted his teeth, and his black face was a little red. I heard him mutter: "These damn Tartars, Xiao Tiantian who dares to kill Lao Tzu, will fight later, Lao Tzu has to come to a few Tartars with a white knife, and the red knife must come out......"

After the end of the battle that day, because Chen Pet and several people died in battle, the Zhenfu Division conducted an investigation on Yijia and found that Liu Lie did not cooperate closely with friendly troops during the war and did not pay attention to the formation of the phenomenon, so he remembered him once, and asked him to memorize the importance of military discipline several times.

In fact, Liu Lie has always blamed himself for Chen Chong's death, and at this time, the big battle is ahead, and he vows to kill a few more Tartars to avenge Chen Chong's brothers.

He was gritting his teeth, and with a "snap", his helmet was slapped by Zhao Rongsheng, the commander of the armor, and he scolded: "Fart, we are pikemen, not sword soldiers...... You are a killer, remember, we are an army, not stragglers, the most important formation in wartime, you still don't understand the truth of eating a trench and growing wise? ”

Seeing the snickering of the people around him, Liu Lie opened his eyes and said innocently: "Captain A, I didn't say it, I am the first sword soldier......"

"No matter how hard I try, I will remember the importance of formation......"

The first class of people all laughed, and Han Kaihui also smiled, while soaking the spear, he thought about it carefully, recalling all the details of the battle that day, and what he should do after facing each other again.

He clenched his spear suddenly, and a cold light shot out of his eyes: "This time, I will be more advantageous than last time, and kill more Tartars!" ”

……

Han Kaihui tightened his spear again, leaned the body of the spear on his right shoulder, and slowly moved forward along the red ocean flow with the sound of the password.

Not far from his queue, there was the sound of horses' hooves from time to time, and the herald sergeant on his mount rushed to their respective destinations.

With a quarter of an hour to go, the sergeants of the right battalion received an order to assemble out of the camp and prepare for battle.

In the horn, the tide of people and horses of the Jingbian army slowly poured out from the camp, and they merged into one team, four teams into a total, and four into a group, forming a clear queue in Weijing, and finally converged into one, neat and orderly.

Standing in the military array, looking left and right, there are all elite soldiers like themselves, the phalanx is densely packed, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of hats and helmets of water, as well as the sun, moon and wave flags that are displayed.

Han Kaihui felt his own insignificance, and he also felt the power of the group.

The army marched slowly through the earth, heading towards its destination, its heavy footsteps shaking the earth.
