108 The soldier does not tire of deceit
"Do you know why you want to practice, I don't know, then listen to Lao Tzu, when Lao Tzu led the troops, you fucked people were still peeking at home at home and watching the little lady next door take a bath."
The soldiers burst into laughter.
"Laugh, laugh what a laugh, you cry when you fight, have you ever killed someone, do you know what it's like to hear the sound of a knife piercing into someone's stomach, do you know how it feels when the black head of your brother is cut off and falls into your arms, can you still laugh at that time, Lao Tzu went to the battlefield for the first time, and you are about the same size as a group of recruits, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, after a battle, Lao Tzu can't even find a knife, except for in the crotch of his pants, it is urine, it sounds funny, right, it's not funny, all of you are the same, After surviving the first battle, you are veterans, the first battle of Lao Tzu's life is to follow Zuo Liangyu's old guy to fight Zhang Xianzhong, more than 50 people went to a village, Lao Tzu survived, Lao Tzu is lucky, but luck does not work every day, you have to be ruthless, you are afraid of life, the more ruthless you are, the more afraid the enemy is of you, you have to coward, die faster"
At this time, the soldiers on the field did not speak, and I don't know if what General Song said is true or false.
Song Dali crossed his waist, stared and continued to roar, "The champion army is different from other armies, the champion army does not accept bad seeds, and those who want to come to the army to eat food should get out of the way as soon as possible, there are people in the world who collect this kind of waste, and after eating the food of the champion army, you have to know three words, which three words, tell Lao Tzu"
All the soldiers replied in unison, "Loyalty, bravery, benevolence"
"Be louder, I can't hear it"
"Loyal! Brave! Benevolence"
"That's right, as a soldier, you have to be absolutely loyal to the general. Orders and prohibitions refer to where to fight. Be as brave as a wolf against the enemy, and never let go of the bite. Be merciful to Brother Pao Ze and the people who have helped you, these must be done, you are a real soldier of the champion army, you are Lao Tzu's brother, but how does Lao Tzu know that you can fight and be obedient, drill, or drill"
Wang Lanping couldn't help but feel deeply when he listened to Song Dali's casual words, yes, the champion army has to be like this. This reckless man is still a thick and fine character, and when he goes back, he will embroider these three words on the banner, so that the whole army can see that loyalty, bravery, and benevolence are the military soul of the champion army.
Song Dali finished pulling his mouth cannon and pointed to the arrow target outside the field.
"The bow and crossbow are a sharp weapon on the battlefield, and if you can do it every shot, then you can kill the enemy before he gets close to you, look"
Let's talk about it. Someone handed him a bow and arrows.
Although Song Dali is rough, his kung fu is not weak, and he hits the bull's-eye.
"Well done. General Song is good, "The soldiers applauded.
Song Dali grinned, but suddenly changed his face, "Okay." Okay, your aunt's legs, you can't do it, you can't have a fart. Come, in groups of ten. Three arrows for one person, and if one arrow misses, the head will be cut off"
As soon as these words came out, the generals were shocked, obediently, this is too ruthless.
Military orders are like mountains, who dares not to obey.
More than 200 archers were divided into 20 teams and took turns to fight, which was okay, not to mention 100 shots, but they also looked good.
Of course, some of them are unlucky, who, of course, are the captives of the Manchu and Mongolian army, they are also among these two hundred, a round of test shooting, the arrow target is cleaner than the big girl's legs, there is not an arrow, this is strange, the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers are almost born to be archers, how is it possible.
But who told this Song Dali to do his hands and feet on the arrows of these people, the arrows were too heavy, and they couldn't shoot far before they were inserted into the ground, causing the surrounding soldiers to laugh.
Song Dali ran over and hit him with a whip.
"Mother, you haven't eaten, take out the strength of the daughter-in-law when you tossed your daughter-in-law, draw the bow, and put it"
Whoosh......
Ten full of prisoners panicked, and ten arrows were not shot three feet away.
At this time, Song Dali was even more furious, "What are Lao Tzu raising you waste, come on, pull it down, cut it"
Everyone was stupid, this, it's really killing.
The broadsword was raised, and ten human heads fell to the ground.
Now not only did the soldiers of the champion army look stupid, but also the Qing army peeking on the mountain looked stupid, your aunt, are all the champions all crazy?
Song Dali doesn't care about this, one round is over, and another round, those Manchu and Mongolian captives who don't know what is going on don't understand what's going on, and there are already thirty heads piled up in a pile.
When it gets dark, the champion army finishes work and returns to the camp, the play is over, and it will continue tomorrow.
When Kong Youde heard that the Ming army was training like this, he was also stunned, and rumors immediately spread in the Qing army, spreading the word that the champion army was amazing, where is this soldier, it is completely a group of devils, and when he encounters this soldier in the future, he will walk around.
But Kong Youde quickly understood, this must be an illusion, there really must be such a strict army in the world, and the general who leads the army is not afraid that there will be soldiers behind his back.
Guangkong Youde understands that it is useless, and the shadow of the Qing army's fear of the champion army like a tiger has begun to spread in the army, and everyone talks about it.
The next day, a big flag was re-erected in the camp of the champion army and the head of Yangzhou City, the flag was embroidered with the words "champion army" on one side, and "loyalty, courage and benevolence" on the back.
No matter what aspect he considered, Kong Youde felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he continued like this, his morale would be destroyed by Wang Lanping sooner or later.
Early in the morning, Kong Youde came to Liu Zhiyuan's artillery camp, and learned that the artillery camp could barely go into battle, Kong Youde was very happy, fight, fight now, and want to bombard the city wall of Yangzhou City to the point that even a whole brick can not be found.
On the same day, Kong Youde raised the big tent and ordered all the troops to assemble, and even the more than 5,000 people who had surrendered from Liu Liangzuo were also incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Army and used as the first batch of cannon fodder during the siege.
Liu Liangzuo in order to curry favor with Kong Youde, but also lost no time in offering a plan, he turned out to be the Ming army, well aware of Yangzhou's city defense, Yangzhou City West Gate Tongsi Gate has a section of the city wall is just renovated two years ago, but also Yangzhou more than ten miles long city wall of the weakest one, if you can concentrate all the artillery to bomb there, the city wall can be collapsed in less than half a day, the city wall falls, the Ming army will naturally collapse, the battle of Yangzhou can be solved in one day.
Hearing this news made Kong Youde even more surprised, you must know that the city wall of Yangzhou is two feet thick. If it is a strong wall, it will be bombarded with 200 cannons. If he didn't bombard, the city wall wouldn't fall for ten days and a half, and a cannonball hit it. However, it can leave a white dot.
But if it is newly renovated, it is different, the mud has not yet fully exerted its adhesiveness, and a few shells can loosen the bricks.
With this news, Kong Youde's confidence increased greatly, and he immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for the siege of the city, check the ladders and artillery, and three days later, send the troops to Yangzhou City. This time, Wang Lanping must be wiped out with the unlucky Yangzhou City.
**
After receiving the military information that the troops in the Qing army camp were frequently mobilized, Wang Lanping understood that the Qing army was about to make a comeback again, and it was finally here, and whoever killed the deer was in this battle.
Wang Lanping had already arranged everything, and now there was only one left that he didn't have much to hold, such a big encirclement battle, there were too many gaps, after all, his troops were too small. If you want to eat 100,000 Qing troops at once, this is too difficult, and the best way is to let the 50,000 Ming troops stationed in Anhuaihou, who are in Yangzhou Baili away, also join in.
In order for his strategic deployment to be completely successful, Wang Lan had sent someone to find the commander of the Ming army as early as three days ago. But the other party insisted that there was no military salary, and his troops were unstable. Again, there is no 300,000 salaries. The soldiers couldn't move.
In the end, Shi Kefa had to compromise, okay. It's all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and it's all for you to smash pots and sell iron.
Although Wang Lanping did not believe that they would send troops if they had money, at least this was the only Ming army closest to Yangzhou at present.
As soon as it got dark, Wang Lanping asked people to take 50,000 taels of silver and some grain, and took advantage of the darkness to find out the Ming army, and told them that the military salary will not be less than a big word, and now the army is in chaos, for the sake of safety, you will come to Yangzhou to get the rest when the war is over.
Early the next morning, Marquis An Huai sent someone to report, he received the military salary, and the 50,000 Ming troops would also rush to the location designated by Shi Inspector within the specified time to form a defense and jointly fight against the Manchurians.
Wang Lanping was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to believe it too much, so he immediately sent spies to a place called Jinniu Mountain east of Yangzhou City, which was less than thirty miles away from the Qing army's camp, and in the north of the Qing army, if 50,000 Ming troops could die nailed there, Kong Youde would never dare to transfer the whole army out, and Dinghuaihou's troops were nailed here, even if you didn't go into battle with a single soldier, just waving the flag and shouting was enough for Kong Youde to tremble for a while.
Sure enough, this Dinghuai Marquis really didn't tell a lie, the 50,000 Ming army had already set off, and the vanguard of more than 3,000 people had already rushed to Jinniu Mountain and was beginning to build fortifications.
Wang Lanping was overjoyed, with these 50,000 fresh troops, Yangzhou City will be the grave of Kong Youde's 100,000 Qing troops, but Wang Lanping in view of the fact that the Marquis of Dinghuai and the other six governors had besieged himself who controlled Nanjing at that time, he could not fully believe that this person would be so kind to come to the rescue.
For this reason, Wang Lanping made an investigation of this Dinghuai Marquis.
Dinghuai Marquis Wang Yongji, originally the Ming Dynasty Shandong Governor, later Shun Army and Qing Army successively poisoned Shandong, Wang Yongji was defeated, and heard the news of Chongzhen's death, he fled to Nanjing in one breath, after Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne, he was still the Governor of Shandong, but Shandong has long been not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, Governor Wang's name is not true, is a light commander, feel that he was left out in the cold, and suffer from no one and no soldiers, in a rage, he sold his wealth, found Ma Shiying Shoufu at that time, bought a real shortage, and transferred to Changzhou Governor with the Governor of Shandong.
Wang Yongji seems to have been demoted, but the governor of Changzhou is a real job, but not long after this person arrived, it coincided with Wang Lanping forming a champion army and coming to Nanjing.
At the instigation of Ma Shiying, Wang Yongji and the other six governors besieged Nanjing together, and forced Wang Lanping in the name of 'Qing Jun's side', and then Wang Lanping was forced to leave Nanjing and go north, Wang Yongji and other seven people were stationed in Xiangshan, and were named Dinghuai Marquis, and now they suddenly came with 50,000 troops to reinforce Yangzhou.
This is all the information that Wang Lanping investigated and found out about Wang Yongji, the Marquis of Dinghuai, from which point of view, this person has no loyalty and patriotism, and all his actions before and after are all for his own selfish interests, presumably he is not sincere in coming to Yangzhou this time.
According to Wang Lanping's speculation, Governor Wang came to reinforce, and it is very likely that he was instigated again, the reason is very simple, among the seven Dingbian marquis, Changzhou soldiers are the weakest, with only a few thousand soldiers, which is dispensable, and being named a marquis is also stained with the light of others.
Now the situation in Yangzhou is quite unfavorable to the Ming army, at this time to reinforce Yangzhou, that is to joke about their own future, the probability of losing the battle is very high, who would be so stupid, no one wants to come, but not to come and can not explain to the world and the court, so, everyone unanimously elected Wang Yongji to take command, led 50,000 troops to reinforce Yangzhou, if victorious, the soldiers are jointly formed by the seven Dingbian marquis, everyone is advantageous, if defeated, Wang Yongji alone to resist this infamy.
Wang Lanping's guess is not wrong at all, Wang Yongji is being driven out of the duck on the shelf, who told him that now the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, forget it, take one step at a time, as long as the signs are not right, no matter what Yangzhou you are, Lao Tzu's life is important, however, we can also be regarded as contributing to the country, taking such a big risk, why do the court have to let some blood, the master wants silver, it is getting better and better.
After Wang Yongji went north, he not only scraped tens of thousands of taels from the imperial court, but also asked Yangzhou Shi Kefa for tens of thousands of taels on the grounds of insufficient military salary.
After touching Wang Yongji's bottom, Wang Lanping had no hope for this support army at all, so he only let them garrison in Jinniu Mountain on the periphery of the battlefield, so as not to add to the chaos, and it just happened to help the champion army attract part of the Qing army.
**
Early the next morning
Wang Lanping received the report that 70,000 Qing soldiers were divided into three routes and rushed to Yangzhou City.
The 70,000 Qing troops and the 20,000 left army, composed of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, went straight to the west gate of Yangzhou, carrying a large number of firearms; The right army is 30,000, mainly with the Manchurian Eight Banners, separated by five miles from the left army, and marches in unison; Kong Youde led 20,000 cavalry to the Manchurian Eight Banners Chinese Army, and the three armies were hugged in front and back, and the soldiers were strong.
When Wang Lanping learned of this information, he immediately summoned all the generals to come to the meeting.
Seeing the momentum of the Qing army, there are main attacks, auxiliary attacks, and side responses, it is obvious that Kong Youde is desperate, and all the belongings are pressed up, not only that, the 200 artillery pieces in Kong Youde's army are the lifeblood of Duoduo, and they are also the housekeeping skills that the Qing Dynasty can take, and the Qing army led by Kong Youde is the elite of the entire Qing army, and it is the capital of Duoduo to have prestige in the imperial court.
The same is true of the Ming army, the most capable Ming army troops are pinched in the hands of Wang Lanping, followed by the Yangzhou soldiers and the Huai'an army, these three armies are almost the last force that the Southern Ming court can take.
If Kong Youde is defeated, the Qing army will once again retreat to the Yellow River in order to come back, and the Ming army will once again control the Jianghuai defense line; If the Ming army is defeated, then there is nothing to say, the Jiangbei defense line is open, and the demise of Nanjing is only a matter of time.
In order to let the Qing army have no return, Wang Lanping could only die this time, let go of Yibo, and all his net worth and life were pressed.
Wang Lanping ordered the burning of the camp of the champion army, and all the soldiers broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, striving to kill it in one battle.
Wang Lanping's operational deployment was to take Song Xian's department, which had recovered from his injuries, as the first line of defense, and Song Xian and Song vigorously commanded all the cavalry of the Fengzi battalion, and ambushed the Qing army's right army on the march route.
The Huaiyuan battalion of Fang Guoan was stationed in the north of Yangzhou City, Chen Wanliang of the Anyuan Battalion marched south of Yangzhou City, Wang Lanping led the Dingyuan Battalion of the Chinese Army to respond to the various departments, Zheng Sen's Huai'an Army was still hidden in the rear of Yangzhou, and there was no order not to attack, Xu Dingguo had full authority to supervise the defense of Yangzhou City, and all arrangements were continued, and the total strength of the Ming army was 60,000 people, and they were ready to fight, just waiting for Kong Youde to move towards the Ghost Gate Pass step by step. (To be continued.) )
