Chapter 678: Difficulties
Take advantage of your illness and kill you...... This is a truth that is clear to everyone.
Therefore, after Luo Yangxing's words were finished, not only Zhou Shuyuan, but also several other people also showed a very hot expression on their faces.
Because they all know that now is the best chance for Kim to attack.
Of course, this attack does not mean an all-out attack, and the last full-scale attack on Houjin has made everyone aware of it. Unless the Houjin Tartars themselves decide to have a decisive battle with the Tiger and Par Army, this decisive battle will never be fought.
The only way is to continue to attack on a small scale, constantly weakening the military strength of the Houjin Tatars, weakening the national strength of the Houjin, and forcing the Houjin to fight a decisive battle with the Tiger and Leopard Army.
At this time, Zhou Shuyuan spoke again: "Lord Wang, this opportunity is really good, we must not let go of ......"
Wei Zheng, who didn't know what Zhou Shuyuan was thinking in his heart, nodded and affirmed: "Tongguò small-scale attacks will constantly weaken the military strength and national strength of the Houjin, this idea has already been decided when the king retreated from the Houjin. Since he Emperor Taiji has put the opportunity in front of us, then of course we can't let it go......"
"Since everyone is here, let's talk about which army we will send after this sortie......
As soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, Zhou Shuyuan blurted out: "Fifth Army...... After the attack of the Fourth and Fifth Army, Jin was the most convenient...... Moreover, among the five main armies of the Haw Par Army, the Fifth Army has not really experienced a major war...... This battle after the attack on Jin is just right for the Fifth Army to train its hands, so that the officers and men of the Fifth Army can completely integrate into our Tiger and Leopard Army......"
For some officers in the army to find Zhou Shuyuan as a backstage. Sun Chengzong, who was also the commander of the Fifth Army. Although there is an understanding. However, it was not taken to heart.
He is also from the imperial court, and he can be said to be accustomed to this kind of thing.
Therefore, Zhou Shuyuan's strong support for the Fifth Army did not make Sun Chengzong aware of any conspiracy.
In addition, Sun Chengzong, as the army commander, also wanted the Fifth Army to go out to train and become the real elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Zhou Shuyuan's words had just finished speaking. He is also the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army, and he opened his mouth in support without thinking about it......
"Lord Wang, I also agree to let the Fifth Army go to ...... The Fifth Army was adapted from the Imperial Border Army, and its ability to adapt to the environment outside the customs is definitely the best among the five armies...... Therefore, let the five armies attack, we don't even need to prepare......"
"In addition, the reasons for the military advisor are also very strong...... We cannot afford to favor one over the other...... Otherwise, the officers and soldiers of the five armies will still think that the prince does not pay attention to them because of their background......"
One of the purposes of Wei Zheng's formation of the Fifth Army was to further increase the military strength of the Haw Par Army. One is for the post-golden tartars to the north.
So, in Wei Zheng's heart. The Fifth Army was also the best choice for the Golden Tartars after the attack.
However, what Wei Zheng didn't expect was that he had just made a decision, and an imperceptible sneer flashed across Zhou Shuyuan's face.
As for the sneer of this touch, except for Luo Yangxing, no one saw it.
Of course, without any evidence and without knowing Zhou Shuyuan's purpose, what Luo Yangxian did was to keep the sneer of this touch in his heart......
Of course, that's all for later......
As soon as the order to send troops came out of the palace, the entire barracks of the five armies became boiling.
For the ordinary officers and men in the barracks, the life of the Haw Par Army is a world of difference compared to that of the border army.
In the face of rich food and military salaries, they did not lack courage, so they had an idea in their hearts to go to the battlefield as much as possible to prove to the Tiger and Leopard Army that they did not take the military salary in their hands in vain.
Not only that, but the promotion system of the Haw Par Army also gave them the hope of being promoted and serving as officers......
Of course, whether it is to repay the favor or be promoted, it is inseparable from a foundation, that is, military merit.
And if you want to achieve military merits, you can't do without one thing, that is, fighting......
When they saw that the Fourth Army, which was also adapted from the imperial border army, was like themselves, and in the First World War of Korea, not only received a large amount of gold and silver rewards, but also many former colleagues were directly promoted because of their military merits.
The more than 10,000 officers and men of the Fifth Army immediately became red-eyed......
Now, the battle they had always dreamed of had finally arrived, and it was against the Tartars, with whom they had a mortal vendetta......
After the order was passed down, the entire barracks became boiling.
Although the strong combat effectiveness of the Tartars has left a lot of shadows in their hearts.
However, the armament of the new muskets, months of training, has given them confidence in their own combat effectiveness.
In less than three days, the 20,000 soldiers who only carried a few days of dry food were under the personal command of Sun Chengzong, and left the customs and entered the territory of Houjin......
It made Sun Chengzong regret that because of Huang Taiji's fear of the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Houjin tribe within a hundred miles of the border pass had not returned since the last time they moved away......
And this, he led Sun Chengzong out of the customs for two whole days, but he couldn't meet a Houjin Tartar......
Seeing that there were only two days of dry food left with the soldiers, Sun Chengzong, who had the idea of feeding the war with war, could be said to be in his eyes and anxious in his heart.
Just when Sun Chengzong looked at the cavalry scouts in front of him who had returned in vain again, and wanted to be furious in order to vent his dissatisfaction and anxiety.
Another sound of horses' hooves suddenly reached Sun Chengzong's ears......
As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer to him, the figures of several cavalry also appeared in Sun Chengzong's field of vision.
To Sun Chengzong's surprise, among these cavalrymen. In addition to the captain of a scout team that he was familiar with, there were actually a few people in post-gold tartar costumes.
Faced with this situation, the guards surrounding Sun Chengzong subconsciously picked up their muskets and prepared to shoot.
Just when the doubts on Sun Chengzong's face became thicker and thicker, perhaps to avoid accidents, several cavalry stopped directly at a distance of twenty steps from Sun Chengzong.
Then, the captain of the scout team, which Sun Chengzong was very familiar with, trotted towards him alone.
As soon as he walked in front of Sun Chengzong, he reported with excitement on his face......
"Commander, found ...... We've found the Tartar tribe......"
Sun Chengzong's eyes lit up, and he directly forgot about the cavalrymen in the costume of the Houjin Tartar, and asked eagerly......
"Where and is there a specific location...... How many people are there in this Tartar tribe, and can they meet the food consumption of the whole army for ten days......"
Faced with Sun Chengzong's series of questions, the scout captain shook his head directly......
Just when Sun Chengzong's face was covered with solemnity again, the scout captain spoke again (to be continued......
