Chapter 306 Gaizhou

Later Jin has been shun lì for these years, and the etiquette is based on the Ming army's too bad. The Ming army, which exclaimed that it had no sense of attack, had no courage in the field, and it was the only tactic of the Ming army to retreat in the city and hold on. Since the first year of Chongzhen, the only one who has been undefeated in the field state of the Houjin main force is Yuan Chonghuan in Guangqumen.

With the mobility of the cavalry, Houjin has always taken the initiative to attack on the battlefield against Ming. There is no need to think about defense at all, and everyone will even think, such a vast rear battlefield, what if the Ming army comes to stab it?

All in all, the mentality of Houjin was used to by the Ming army. After the Battle of Lushun, Huang Taiji did consider the problem of the Dengzhou Battalion and summarized the root cause of the failure of the Battle of Lushun. He did not think that in a field state with equal troops, the Dengzhou battalion could defeat the Houjin army. Moreover, the intelligence sent by Xizuo showed that the Dengzhou battalion sent 10,000 troops into Henan to suppress the thieves, which was the root cause of Huang Taiji's daring to investigate Har.

How many troops the Dengzhou battalion has, Huang Taiji didn't figure it out, let alone Huang Taiji, even the Ming Dynasty government didn't know. According to the convention, it would be interesting to set a 20,000 force for Chen Xie. With 10,000 troops left, no matter how incompetent Zilharang is, he can withstand it, right? So how many troops does the Dengzhou battalion actually have? Regardless of the strength of Henan, the Jiazi battalion has six infantry battalions, two artillery battalions, and two cavalry battalions, which is 15,000 people. Not counting the nearly 8,000 people of the 1st Battalion, and the strength of the original Dongjiang Town is nearly 5,000. The troops of Dongjiang Town, Chen Xie did not put them on the front line, and used them as logistics baggage troops.

After entering Gaizhou. Chen Xie did not immediately send troops to Haizhou, not because he didn't want to. Rather, it can't. Why? The battle line was stretched, and the pure fire paint troops of more than 10,000 people. The logistical pressure is too great. This is not the time when King Qin was in the past, when there were 3,000 people and few cannons, two hundred four-wheeled carriages could handle it. Another reason is that Gaizhou is occupied and it takes time to deal with it.

In wartime, dealing with problems is naturally simple and rude, and the four city gates are blocked, and it is necessary to salute first and then soldiers. The beggars on the street were taken down, and everyone hung a bag of fried noodles around their necks. Eat first, and let them shout all over the street with a bullhorn.

"The people in the city have listened, and the king wants to relocate all the people of Gaizhou. Tomorrow morning, everyone will have to wait in the yard and bring their personal belongings. If anyone disobeys, there will be no forgiveness! Those who can't hide it will be killed! ”

Gaizhou is not big, and a hundred and ten beggars shouted for an afternoon.

Chen Xie's headquarters was set up in the former Gaizhou Mansion, and the officials of Houjin followed Tong Jia away. The officials and the others hid back in their homes. Some of the subordinates didn't have time to run away and were blocked in the palace. It was a matter of Chen Xie's safety, and the guards took an infantry team to go in first and checked inside and out. The pit has not been spared.

More than a dozen men and women were found and squatted in the courtyard with their heads in their hands. Han Shan, the head of the guards, was interrogated one by one. All the men were taken away, and the women were left behind as maids. The headquarters was set up in an afternoon. The modern army is characterized by a detailed division of labor, and Chen Xie's command has more than a dozen departments. More than 100 people were stationed in the government. Work separately.

As the soul of this army, Chen Xie doesn't need to do much. Mainly sitting there in a daze at the map on the wall, the heralds who came in and out, brought news from all walks of life. Before dark, there were more small red flags on the map in front of Chen Xie, which meant the current range of activities of the Dengzhou camp.

"The cavalry has arrived in Yaozhou! Jiannu abandoned the city and fled, and there were still more than 5,000 Han people in the city who did not leave. He Xianxia didn't want to do it, and decided to drive everyone to Gaizhou tomorrow. Chief of Staff Su Haochen personally put a red flag on the map and reported the situation by the way.

Chen Xie sighed slightly, not because of He Xian's soft-heartedness, but because of Ji'er Harang's neatness, he even gave up Yaozhou (Yingkou). "Send someone to inform the sailors, send a boat to the mouth of the Liao River, and escort everyone to Fuzhou."

"Yaozhou is too small, and it is too close to Gaizhou, so there is no value in guarding. If I am in command, I will also take advantage of mobility and stride to the rear. Then the cavalry detoured behind the enemy and harassed the enemy. "Su Haochen, the chief of staff, is still relatively qualified, and immediately pointed out the tactics that pose the greatest threat to the Dengzhou battalion.

"You can think of it, and so can Zilharang. It's a pity that Houjin doesn't have a navy, and our logistics supply lines are all by sea. I asked He Xian to keep 2,000 people in Yulinpu, a forty-mile-long logistics line, which is enough. Chen Xie stood up, stared at the map for a while, and then said: "The plan of the General Staff is that if Haizhou can go down, it will be destroyed. The handling of Gaizhou's side is to sue Zhang Biao, and there are only two days to control the population. On July 30, it was necessary to present troops under the city of Haizhou. There is not enough pressure, I am afraid that Zilharang will not be honest. ”

"Humble duty understands!" Su Haochen saluted, and Chen Xie continued to stare at the map in a daze. This trip is here to rob, I don't plan to occupy too much territory, Fuzhou is the limit.

Yanyan is not her real name, and after she was taken captive, she gave herself a random name, and the relationship was broken in the past. Because she is good-looking, literate and hyphenated, and the owner who likes elegance is not bad to her, she doesn't have to do heavy work, and she can eat enough. Over the past few years, a qiē has become numb in time.

When her master fled, she was left behind, and only then did she remember that she had been living in a dream of deceiving herself. When the horn sounded, her first instinct was to hide in the firewood room, hoping to escape. The last time she was taken captive, she didn't choose to die, and this time she naturally didn't have the courage to die. Thankfully, the bastard's master was a living eunuch, and every time that job didn't even go in, it flowed on her skirt.

After an afternoon of fear, the rest of the family was rummaging through the cabinets and taking everything they could with them. When the cook who delivered the meal told her about this, she remembered that when the so-called master was leaving, she didn't even let go of the hairpin on her head.

"Sanniang, you can also hide here at night, put the door on the top. I'm not afraid of those Dengzhou soldiers, I'm afraid of others. ”

"Yan Liu, that brute, took two people to look for you everywhere but didn't find it, and dragged Xiaoqi into the back room to cause trouble."

This night, the two of them didn't sleep much, Sanniang found a wooden stick and slammed against the door. I slept in a daze in the second half of the night. As soon as it was dawn, there was a banging of the door. The men in this room ran away as much as they could last night, leaving an old janitor still there. Seeing the soldier through the crack in the door, and I don't know where the courage came from, let Sanniang open the door, and the two walked out.

"I've seen the military master, the man who was in the house last night turned around, scoured the woman to rob the property, and ran away while it was dark."

Looking at this beautiful woman, the officer leading the team looked up and down and said, "Are you literate?" ”

"The slave's name is Yanyan, and he knows a few words." Carefully lowered her head, Yanyan's voice was not high.

"Okay, it's good to be literate, there is a shortage of people in the women's camp to take care of things, count you in. Take this notebook and fill in your name, how big it is, and everyone has to write it. ”

After a while, Yanyan got a sign and asked to hang it around her neck. The officer said to her: "From now on, you will be in charge of the women's battalion on behalf of the Dengzhou battalion." There are a lot of such stewards like you, and with this brand, you can manage a brigade, and you can also find two helpers. In the future, anyone in this team will have to listen to you, and you can dispose of those who don't listen to the greetings. This is your right, remember, while enjoying the right, you have to do your best to manage this brigade and do the things that are assigned to you, this is your obligation. ”

After saying this, the officer called a soldier and said, "Take her to Camp No. 1, remember to bring a change of clothes and bedding." ”

The so-called No. 1 camp is a cleared residential area, and barbed wire has pulled a fence around the area. There were two checkpoints to enter the area, and when it came time to pass the post, the soldier checked Yanyan's sign, looked at the name on it, and then took her to an officer. The young officer was probably shaken by her beauty, and soon stopped staring. Hand her a notebook and said, "This is the rules of the camp, you have to remember every one." For a while in the future, you will all have to live here, and the army will need a lot of people to serve the logistics, and if you are lucky, you will at least have something to eat. ”

Yan Yan took the cook and a rough envoy to stand behind the officer, watching one woman after another being brought here. I can't help but secretly fur in my heart, this is to give a "service" to the soldiers? Naturally, she thought crookedly. But at this time, I don't have time to think about this, so let's memorize the rules written in this notebook first.

"A team of 10 people, a team of 100 people, a team of 1,000 people,......。"

The development of the matter completely deviated from Yan Yan's prediction, the soldiers were very well-behaved, and they did not mean to harass the woman at all. Later, I learned that there were many such areas, and more than 5,000 women in the city were settled in such areas. Every day, I do laundry, make shoes, cook for construction sites outside the city, and so on.

Yan Yan felt very illusory, this should not be the army of the Ming Dynasty. Until one day, I took the following women to hand in the cloth shoes, walked through a street, and saw that there were constantly women with bare breasts to send the soldiers out, and I dared to ask the escort soldiers.

"Who are these?" The soldier was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "They are all captured alien women, and they are locked up here, so they can't be fed for nothing, right?" Walking forward in a daze, and when she saw a row of dead people hanging from the pole on the side of the road, Yanyan woke up from the peaceful days of the last two days. This is the Dengzhou battalion, this is the devil soldier in the mouth of the former master.

In any case, the Dengzhou soldiers were quite friendly to the Han people, and they were not polite to other races. According to the soldiers, men who are taller than the wheels are all killed on the spot. Woman, just look at the street just now, I don't know why, Yanyan felt very relieved. (To be continued......)
