Chapter 87: When the general offensive is underway

Entering the imperial army of the Ming Dynasty, King Fu and King Tang were also conscientious, for fear that they would be eliminated if they were unqualified.

Coincidentally, both of them were princes, and they were forced to be the sons of the martyrs, but in the end, they started a stove in a military camp. In addition, the two were also relatives, so they quickly came together, not to mention forming a party for personal gain, but relatives helping each other and allied with each other.

In such an atmosphere of helping each other, the two took the lead in the training of the military camp and officially became an officer. With the talent of staff officers and **, the two quickly came to the foreground and became the two most high-profile officers.

If it is placed on the body of ordinary people, the higher the position, the better. However, the two of them have been suffering in the position of the prince for a long time, and what they hate the most is to be noticed.

It's just that since they have no choice, the two can only do their duty to do their best to do the things at hand, or even do better, and strive to make Chongzhen feel at ease.

With the large army going north together, the environment is naturally not as good as the treatment in the palace before, but the two of them feel that no matter how bad the outside world is, it is more comfortable than being locked up in their own palace as a caged bird. The two of them are not the kind of people who can only be caged birds, they also have the blood of the Ming True Dragon, and they will have to soar for nine days sooner or later when they encounter a storm.

After the tempering of the new military camp, the two no longer have the rich state of the past. Not a qualified military man, but at least a qualified recruit.

The journey north with the large army was arduous, but the two persevered and finally reached their destination six days later.

This is a secret stronghold opened up by the Jinyi Guard, only three miles away from the pass heavily guarded by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as within the range of the opponent's artillery. However, there was a forest and a mountain range, and this half-natural, half-artificially carved stronghold was the scout who protected them from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Changing into military uniforms here, the two of them are a little more heroic, and they look like soldiers, but unfortunately they haven't seen blood yet, so they can't be considered qualified soldiers.

"Are you all there?" In charge of this stronghold is Lu Xiangsheng, who has just counted the baggage transported here, and then he has just come over.

"Report to the division commander, the 23rd Brigade, the 24th Brigade, and the 5th Artillery Brigade have been assembled, and there are no absences or desertions!" Sun Chuanting, as the commander of the artillery, came forward to report.

"Very good, everyone rests on the spot for three hours, and then according to the designated mission plan, carry out a surprise attack on the Manchu Pass!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at his watch, which was a watch sold by a caravan from the Republic. In this era, table clocks have appeared, and the appearance of watches is not difficult to accept.

"Yes!" Sun Chuanting saluted and went back to give instructions.

"Boya (Sun Chuanting), what do you think we can hit this time?" During the break, Lu Xiangsheng sat next to Sun Chuanting.

The personal relationship between the two is still very good, but on formal occasions, both parties are pure superior-subordinate relationships, mistakes will still be punished, meritorious merit will naturally be rewarded, there is no differential treatment, but it will not deliberately target anything. In fact, according to Lu Xiangsheng's meaning, if Sun Chuanting commanded the infantry or became a staff officer, he was afraid that he would either be the division commander or the chief of the general staff. It's a pity that this guy likes it.

According to Sun Chuanting's meaning, when the flower of death blooms in the enemy's position, and the enemy is killed in large numbers, the pleasure is more comfortable than simply killing the opponent with a firecracker. Seeing that he likes ** so much, Lu Xiangsheng can't continue to insist on anything.

Three hours is fast and slow. To say that the time to rest here with nothing to do, thinking that it would be a long time to go to war in three hours, is simply a long torture. If it is slow, the heartless person eats and sleeps, and is woken up after three hours, and feels that the time flies too quickly and he can't sleep enough.

For example, Yan Yingyuan, the camp tent of the third battalion, was like this, and he fell asleep directly after eating.

This battalion commander used to be a martial artist before he became a soldier, and he was good at riding and shooting, but when he saw that the mode of war had changed, he came to the Beizhili military camp to join the army and started from a small soldier. But talent is talent, and he was soon promoted to squad leader, and after a few years, he was promoted to battalion commander, and he was once favored by Lu Xiangsheng.

What kind of soldiers did Yan Yingyuan bring, and the soldiers in the camp under his command also slept when they were full, and there was no tension at all.

Seeing them fall asleep, Lu Xiangsheng could only shake his head, but he had no intention of reproaching. Because he knew that this battalion, which was well fed and well-slept and full of spirits, was really fierce on the battlefield and was not afraid of death. If it weren't for that, Yan Yingyuan might not be worthy of his attention.

In these years, it is really rare to see a general who can dare to fight, and can also render a group of soldiers, and dare to fight with him.

Three hours passed, and everyone began to assemble. Many people don't rest, and their spirits don't look very good, but the soldiers of Yan Yingyuan's battalion are full of spirit and fighting spirit, and they are afraid that they will have to ask to be the main vanguard when they wait.

There is no need for him to ask for battle, Lu Xiangsheng plans to arrange for them to fight in the vanguard.

"Yan Yingyuan, you lead the soldiers of the seventy-second battalion to the predetermined front-line assembly site to ambush and deal with the soldiers of the other side who are out of the customs to fight. If you can, scatter the pressure on the cannons on the walls and cover our artillery to fire! Lu Xiangsheng gave the order.

"Yes!" Yan Yingyuan didn't have any fear.

"Sun Chuanting, you lead the artillery unit to the designated place, and as soon as the time comes, immediately shell!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Sun Chuanting and gave an order.

"Subordinates obey!" Sun Chuanting saluted and received the order.

The troops soon left the stronghold and began to march towards the predetermined rendezvous point. Not only them, but also the other two passes and the other two armies began to assemble one after another, just waiting for the agreed time to arrive, and then start launching a general attack.

Interestingly, until this moment, the Manchus were still in the dark.

As soon as he was ready, looking at the soldiers who were routinely patrolling the city, Lu Xiangsheng sneered and shouted, "Attack!" ”

Artillery, at the first time, launched an artillery bombardment towards the pass, and not only this place, but also the artillery of the other two places began shelling.

The artillery fire streaked across the sky, and the traces were so dazzling in the evening when it was about to darken. The soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just reacted to what kind of situation they had suffered, but they didn't want the shells to explode one after another, and the flowers of death to bloom, but they didn't know how many lives they had taken away.

Since then, the general attack of the Ming Dynasty on the Manchu Qing has officially begun at this moment!
