Chapter 6 The Tartar Soldiers Are Few, I Will Be Saved
Looking at the soldiers of the Wuzi battalion every day to carry a log and stop and stop, from time to time flat, from time to time erected, the Yongzi battalion, the cavalry battalion, the baggage battalion and those who came to transport grain were all happy, and pointed at the Wuzi battalion like a lively.
Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.
The officers of the Wuzi battalion also had a stomach, and Huang An, the general manager of Qian, asked several times in succession, but Shi Dayong did not tell him what the purpose of such training was, but only strictly ordered him to continue training. It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that Shi Dayong told the generals the purpose of his training.
"The Tartar cavalry is so powerful that our army cannot fight with it in the field, and it is rushing head-on, and the enemy cannot be controlled by the spears alone, and if the array is in chaos, our army will be scattered. Therefore, the officer thought of this method of making the enemy with the tip of the wood, and the length of the felled wood was one zhang, and if the Tartar soldiers came, the soldiers would hold the wood and erect it, and use the birch wood to block the enemy in front of the battle, so that they could protect our soldiers in the battle. ”
"Does this work?" Huang An didn't believe that a mere piece of wood could withstand the Jiannu cavalry.
Shao Wu, Jiang Wanli and other generals also expressed doubts that after so many years in the army, they had never seen anyone using wood to resist cavalry attacks, but they had seen anyone who used a chariot formation to resist the enemy.
Seeing this, Shi Dayong didn't say any more, waved his hand and asked the generals to follow him out of the camp, ordered the Wuzi battalion to hold a wooden array, and sent his own soldiers to bring four old and weak war horses, blindfolded his eyes with cloth, and drove people to the Wuzi camp.
The horse was dozens of paces away, and the order did not move, and it was still not moved for nearly ten paces, but when it was a distance of one zhang, when the first soldier was about to be hit by the startled horse, he suddenly ordered to lift the wood.
Suddenly, the soldiers who had been trained to be almost numb instinctively squatted on the ground, and quickly raised the wooden sticks in their hands on the ground diagonally in front of them. Before the four horses could rush into the formation, they were hard against the belly by the wooden tip, and fell down with a long neighing and wailing, and the knight jumped off the horse by the force of inertia. Fortunately, it was just a drill, not a real rush, otherwise it would have been trampled into flesh by the war horses behind.
"Good means, adults!"
Jiang Wanli was born in cavalry, and he could see the intention of those wooden tips at a glance, and immediately praised it from the bottom of his heart.
He praised this, and Huang An and they were busy and applauded:
"With this method of warfare, why not be afraid of the Tartar cavalry charging into battle!"
"Birch is hard, not easy to break, more than enough to withstand a horse, as long as a horse is in front of the formation, the Tartar cavalry behind will be chaotic!"
Ma Zhong raised his own question: "My lord, what if the Tartars attack from both wings instead of the front?" ”
This question is well asked, and it also asks the point, Shi Dayong glanced at Ma Zhong appreciatively, nodded and said: "This point has also been taken into account, so when we march in the future, the three teams of the Wuzi battalion are divided into front, left and right, the Yongzi battalion is in the center, and the cavalry battalion is behind the battle." No matter which side the Tartars rush from, we will always have room to maneuver. ”
The generals thought about it and thought it was good, but the cavalry commander Sun Youjin raised another question: "The Tartar cavalry has a powerful bow and arrow, so what if you use arrows first to mess with my array?" ”
Hearing this, Shi Dayong pointed to the cards in the left hands of those soldiers, and asked him rhetorically: "Do you think that this official asked the governor for these hundreds of shields to see?" ”
Sun Youjin hesitated, shook his head again, and said: "My lord, this method is ingenious, with the help of Changmu to resolve the benefits of the Jiannu cavalry, but if the war starts, Jiannu will gather heavy troops, at that time, thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry will swarm in, and our department can really resist with Changmu?" ”
Hearing this, all the generals were stunned, Shi Dayong was also stunned, and after staring at the martial arts battalion in the field for a while, Fang turned back and said to the generals: "If the Tartars attack me with heavy troops, I will not survive." ”
Hearing this, the generals were suddenly gloomy, but they heard Shi Dayong say impassionedly:
"But if there are few Tartar soldiers, I will survive! As long as you are united with me, his Songshan army will inevitably continue to grow, today is a thousand, he may not be able to expand to 10,000 people in the future, at that time, why fear his Tartar soldiers! This officer is not a rash person, not a person who fights in waves, and will let our army fall into the siege of the Tartar army, you can be relieved. But if the official is here, my Songshan Army will not be in danger of annihilation, and it will only become stronger and stronger! ”
When the generals heard the heroic words of the garrison lord, their spirits were all lifted, and they hurriedly responded with their fists huddled: "We swear to advance and retreat with the lord!" ”
After waving his hand to signal that his subordinates didn't have to, Shi Dayong's eyes fell on Jiang Wanli's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the way of defense is heavy, it is a small section, and the battlefield is decisive, and it needs to be attacked." Your troops are all cavalry, it is a sharp weapon of attack, if my Songshan Army wants to make meritorious contributions, your department has a long way to go, and I hope that Jiang Qian can always take the Ming Dynasty as the mind, take the emperor as the priority, and he will fight bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, raise my Ming national prestige, and strengthen my Songshan military prestige! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanli suddenly said: "The last general swears to serve the court and the emperor, and the garrison can rest assured, on the battlefield of his day, our department will fight bravely to kill the enemy, fight until a soldier and a pawn, and will not retreat a step!" ”
Shi Dayong didn't speak again, but slowly moved his gaze to Jinzhou in the northeast, and when the generals saw it, they thought that the garrison was looking at the direction of Jinzhou, but they didn't know that what the garrison was thinking about at the moment was Dalinghe City.
Daling River, the death of the Ming Dynasty in the white mountains and black waters!
On 18 May, Shi Dayong was ordered by the governor Yamen to escort grain and grass to the Daling River again. All the way without incident, return safely.
On June 3, he went to the Daling River with grain and grass, but there was still no incident.
I thought that I would have to wait for half a month to send grain and grass next time, but I didn't want to go back to Songshan, so I received the military order and ordered another 3,000 stones of grain and grass to go to Dalinghe City.
"I'm just coming back and going again, even if I'm urging my life, I'm not in such a hurry, right?"
The subordinates were very angry at the order of the governor Yamen, they only returned to Songshan yesterday, and they are going to go again today, could it be that those soldiers in Dalinghe City are all rice buckets, and they will eat all the grain stored for half a month at once!
Shi Dayong didn't complain, first, the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty; Second, he was brought up by Qiu Hejia, if it weren't for him, where would it be his turn to sit in the position of Songshan garrison, and the reorganization and equipment of the Songshan Army would not be able to be implemented. In addition, there are many places to use Qiu Hejia in the future, unless you rebel or go to the emperor, you must listen to the orders of the governor's yamen. In that case, what's the point of complaining?
After pacifying the generals, Shi Dayong ordered the second battalion of Wu and Yong and the cavalry battalion to participate in this escort, and the baggage battalion immediately recruited 500 people, and set off immediately after preparing grain and grass.
The convoy set out at noon on 4 June, accompanied by 1,200 soldiers from the 4th Battalion of the Songshan Army, 500 civilians and 160 carts.
There were only more than a dozen old and weak soldiers left behind in Songshan and dozens of military households from the original Songshan Fort, these people were all brushed down during the reorganization, and they couldn't go to the battlefield, so it was okay to stay at home and look at things. Fortunately, although Songshan is an important military station, there is Jinzhou in front and Ningyuan in the back, so I am not worried that the Houjin army will fly with wings
