Chapter 991: Out-of-the-ordinary requirements

The siege of the city for several months was successfully lifted in one day, and tens of thousands of fierce enemies outside the city had been slaughtered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The officers and soldiers of Liaozhen guarding the city saw the battle at the head of the city, there were no tricks, and there were no brave officers and soldiers, and the battle could be said to be simple and monotonous.

The infantry regiment first pressed, attracted the cavalry to attack, and then used a large number of fire guns to kill and inflict artillery bombardment, completely crushing the enemy's main formation, and then the cavalry outflanked on a large scale, so that the enemy had no way to break and escape, and then it was the annihilation battle.

Such a boring battle, but people who have been in the army for a long time know what it means, the formation of the six squares, the spearmen have been kept strict from the beginning of the action to the battle, and the six squares can be seen at the head of the city, the firecrackers are even more terrifying, and the firearms in Liaozhen are not worth mentioning except for the artillery.

Everyone really doesn't trust the firearms tightly, seeing the enemy to rush over, always have to fire the firearm in his hand to strengthen the courage, the gunpowder is gone, the barrel is hot, often the enemy has not yet arrived, to say that the soldier with the firearm is not cowardly, the person who opened the firearm throws away the firearm and draws the knife can go to fight with the Tartar.

Firearms are something that makes everyone feel unreliable, once they are finished, they are troublesome to load, and they may not be able to fire, sometimes they hit, the enemy may not be injured, and it will not take long to come to the front, this firearm is an iron bar, and the loss is too great.

But if you look at the skills of the Huwei army, their firecrackers are so calmly facing the impact of the enemy's thousands of troops, and then they are so close to fire, and the damage is so great, it is like a person holding a big sickle in the wheat field wantonly, every swing has a large piece of wheat falling, in this battlefield, the wheat is the cavalry

Not to mention the artillery, the artillery of this Huwei Army does not look as thick as the red-clothed general's cannon on the city, but the frequency of the cannon can be so fast, hit so far, and kill so many enemies, there are already people there whispering there, is this not asking some gods and Buddhas to rain down such a thunderbolt.

Ma Lin and Li Ruzhen, the deputy generals of Liaozhen in the city, were quite sober, and knew that this time was not in a daze, but to send people out to fight quickly.

The soldiers defending the city slashed and slashed like crazy outside the city, although they vented their besieged sullenness and resentment, but they also had the horror of being shocked by the battle of the tiger army under the city, and they needed to kill to vent and dissolve.

The soldiers who saw it with their own eyes are still like this, and the people in the city are even more so, the battlefield is not big, but after the fight, there are too many places that need to be sorted out and cleaned up, and the corpses and weapons and the battlefield are extremely messy, and a large number of fortifications have been built inside and outside the city for the harvest, and now some of them must be demolished, otherwise it is very inconvenient for the army to enter and exit.

But after the people in the city heard this, no one dared to believe it, everyone thought that something must have happened outside the city, such as driving everyone to attract the attention of the open tartars, and then the soldiers in the city fled from several other places, or they wanted to catch Ding Zhuang and use them as cannon fodder, and rush to the front to die.

Defending the city for a few months has made everyone extremely nervous, and suddenly someone told him that the city was unsieged and let people clean up the battlefield, who could believe it.

There were even a few riots in Shenyang, but the officers and soldiers of Liaozhen were never good people, and the riots were immediately and severely suppressed, and the men in the city were forcibly driven out of the city.

After seeing the outside of the city, seeing everything that happened on the battlefield, it was inconceivable to believe, and some people wept bitterly on the spot, and knelt on the ground to thank the gods and Buddhas.

When this inexplicable riot occurred in the city, Wang Tong had already gathered the generals in the official office of Ma Lin, the deputy general of Liaozhen, to hold a military meeting.

The main hall of the government office has been cleared out, and the bookcase and the main seat are placed on the north side of the main hall, and there is a row of seats on each side.

The generals of the conference, Wang Tong sat on the main seat, the rest of the generals were standing on both sides, the generals in the hall, except for the general of several regiments of the Huwei Army, the rest of the people were older than Wang Tong, everyone felt that this matter should be taken for granted, after this battle, who was still qualified to sit down in front of Wang Tong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's victory is all thanks to your concerted efforts, and this commander will explain your merits in the recital of the military merit reward."

What is concerted, the people who participated in this battle, and even the people who watched the battle at the head of the city, knew that this victory was completely due to the Huwei army's family, and those cavalry who surrounded and covered up were just helping.

However, Wang Tong said this, that is, under today's brilliant military achievements, the generals and soldiers of each town will have a share of profits, and there are many benefits.

Everyone's faces showed joy, bowed down in unison, and said:

"Thank you for your kindness."

Wang Tong nodded, and said again:

"Everyone, please rest assured, Inspector Wang and Chen Jianjun are in Liaoyang, and they also know what is happening here, and both of them will sign to confirm your military merits!"

Hearing this, everyone's face was more happy, under the current system of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, although Wang Tong dominates everything, he can confirm the military merit reward, but he needs the confirmation of Wang Xijue and Chen Ju, with Wang Tong's words, everyone's heart is more certain.

Wang Tong leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at the generals below, and said:

"Each army draws 1,000 elite cavalry, and then you can go out of the city to sweep and shelter, and each army assigns directions, pursues and kills enemy sentries and routs, and returns within the limit of dark."

The cavalry of Wang Tong's headquarters and the cavalry in Shenyang City are still considered to be alive, but the cavalry that turned over from the line of the Liaohe River are all long-distance attacks, and now is the time to rest, but when the order is issued, no one dares to disobey it, and they all obey the order in unison.

"Can the seizures and loot be sorted out? Can you get the warehouse accounts in the city? ”

After the two orders were finished, Ma Lin gave the soldiers behind him a look, and the soldiers hurriedly handed over the account book, but Ma Lin sent it to Wang Tong with both hands.

The generals of Liaozhen looked at each other, but they lowered their heads, Wang Tong was indeed arrogant and unreasonable, so many seizures in the city, his old man wanted to eat them all, but this is also a helpless thing, who let Wang Tong really be able to fight, and it is also his ability and creation to eat so much.

"Shenyang will send 5,000 people, and their dry food supplies will be supplied by the reserves in Shenyang, and the cattle captured outside the city will be selected from the strong."

Wang Tong's arrangement made the generals in the main hall a little confused, the Huwei army itself has a cart and a baggage camp, and what do so many people and livestock do, many people immediately thought that they had thought of a reason, maybe the next ten thousand horsemen and the Huwei army will act together.

Only half of the arrangement was made, but Wang Tong's guards outside hurriedly walked up to the main hall, and whispered a few words to Wang Tong's side, Wang Tong pondered for a while, and said:

"That is, arrange it now, and arrange for the people in the city to make dry food for 20,000 people for six days, which will be needed tomorrow."

"The subordinate obeys!"

These orders are all aimed at the generals who govern the city, whether it is to transfer the people or prepare such a huge amount of dry food, it requires a lot of manpower from the people in Shenyang City, so it is Ma Lin who responds.

After all, it was a big victory, even if Wang Tong was majestic, the people below relaxed a lot, and after receiving the order, Ma Lin opened his mouth and said:

"Dashuai, the dry food for 20,000 people for six days, this consumption is too great, and it takes a lot of work, tomorrow it will take more time, and the army will be tired from entering the city with a big victory, so it is better to rest for two days and then set off, then it will be easy and calm."

"There can be no leniency, the people don't have enough manpower, they use soldiers, and the people don't have enough food in their hands, so they send the storage in the government treasury, and if they can't do it during the day, then do it at night."

Wang Tong's tone did not improve, but he did not leave any room for the people below, Ma Lin's face changed, but he still bowed down and agreed, and now he has no confidence and position to disobey.

"The establishment of the army is still the same as now, do not make any changes, Ma Sanbiao, Li Rubai, Ma Yong, Li Sanshi, a few of you led the cavalry to continue to march north, this time not to seek speed, only to seek stability, from Shenyang City to the north to Tielingwei, along the way there are two military villages, three thousand households, should all fall, you wait step by step for the battalion, one by one the fortress uprooted, the next one to hold one, if there is anything wrong, you can withdraw to Shenyang City, do you understand?"

This order is much broader than what was given to Marin, basically saying that the cavalry brigade will go all the way north, and it will fight you if it can, and it will run back if it can't beat you.

The generals were puzzled, but they began to bow down to receive the order, and Wang Tong ordered again:

"Ma Lin and Li Ruzhen came to prepare for military supplies, and secondly, to stick to Shenyang City, Shenyang City fell to the east of Fushun, there is no need to rush to rescue, it is good to ensure that Shenyang City is foolproof."

The left and right have been guarded for so long, and it should be guarded for a while longer, and this job is also easy, Li Ruzhen bowed down to receive the order, Ma Lin hesitated and still asked:

"Marshal, now that the situation is so good, all departments should come out together and launch a counteroffensive."

Everyone understands what Ma Lin means, the situation is very good, and it is a good time to make military achievements, but Wang Tong's arrangement for everyone is to stick to it, and there is no action.

"If Ben Shuai doesn't recognize your brother, and your family didn't have a banquet when you went to Xuanfu, Ben Shuai will behead you now, Ben Shuai ordered, then there is a place for you to speak, retreat!"

Wang Tong scolded coldly, Ma Lin's face suddenly turned red, he didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly retreated to the queue, Wang Tong has always spoken kindly, suddenly stern, all the generals are awe-inspiring, Wang Tong looked around, and said:

"Vice General Sun of southern Liaoning is fighting hard with the Tartars in Gushan Fort, and Ben Shuai will go to the rescue tomorrow!"
