"Second, the military advisor just said that the tiger and leopard army stationed in Datong Mansion is very powerful, and everyone has several Tartar lives on their backs. In my opinion, these things were blown out by the imperial court. ”

"Think about it, there are thousands of people in the Haw Par Army...... If we calculate that one tiger and leopard army will destroy three Tartars, wouldn't thousands of tiger and leopard troops destroy one or two hundred thousand Tartars? ”

"How many people are there in the Tartars, and after being wiped out by the Tiger and Par Army at one time, it won't hurt ...... vitality"

"So, I can say for sure that although I haven't seen the Haw Par Army, this Haw Par Army is definitely not as powerful as we imagined......

"So, Strategist, you're still too cautious. With the 10,000 elites we have drawn from the whole army, we will definitely be able to break through Datong Mansion and eliminate this so-called tiger and leopard army. ”

As soon as the marshal on the main seat finished speaking, a roar full of excitement sounded in the lobby: "The marshal is right, break through Datong Mansion, destroy the Tiger and Leopard Army, and enter the ...... of Beijing."

After a roar full of excitement, the marshal directly looked at Zhou Yuhong, who was sitting directly opposite the military division and was also the first general under the marshal, and asked Zhou Yuhong.

"Old Zhou, you know the situation. This time I'm going to put you in command, what specific ideas do you have..."

It seems that the decision of the big marshal has long been understood, and after listening to the order, the expression on Zhou Yuhong's face did not change in the slightest.

Under the gaze of the marshal, he replied in a calm tone: "Xie Dashuai trusts....he will definitely go to the soup to capture Datong Mansion for Dashuai and eliminate the Tiger and Leopard Army." Raise the prestige of our army..."

"As for the specific ideas....as far as I know. What the Haw Par Army is best at is firearms. And our army. There are also their own firearms units. Therefore, I plan to draw out the firearms battalion and artillery battalion from the army and form a special army, as the vanguard of the whole army, to launch an attack on Datong Province first. ”

"As for the remaining 8,000 elites, I personally commanded them, and they followed the vanguard to attack Datong Mansion. As soon as our fire troops break through the official and military lines, the whole army will cover the past. I believe. In hand-to-hand combat, no officer or soldier under our command is an opponent of our brothers who have experienced life and death many times. ”

Da Shuai nodded in affirmation: "This idea is very good... I would like to add that although the firearms unit is very powerful, if it loses the protection of the infantry, it will definitely not be able to stop the cavalry attack with its slow rate of fire. Therefore, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is better for the forward troops to add a thousand sword shields......"

"Because we don't know if this Tiger and Leopard Army has a large number of cavalry. To be on the safe side. We must be prepared for all kinds of changes..."

Zhou Yuhong replied with a look of approval: "The marshal is wise, I will definitely do it in accordance with the marshal's military order....ensure that the garrison in Datong Mansion will complete the expansion." Before the formation of combat effectiveness, break through Datong Mansion and eliminate the Tiger and Leopard Army... Eat the entire Datong garrison. ”

Two days later, the mighty rebel attacking force drove out of the camp and advanced in the direction of Datong Mansion with high morale.

At this time, Wei Zheng, who was far away in Datong Mansion, also learned the news of the rebels' dispatch through Zhou Chenguang......

After reading the information in his hand, Wei Zheng's brows furrowed, and he ordered loudly to the guards at the door: "Go and inform Lord Zhou, Lord Zhang, Lord Wang, Lord Zhao, and Li Daren of the prefect's yamen that within an hour, you must come to my General Military Mansion." Go and get my military order right away..."

.......As soon as the order of the guards was issued, several guards rode their horses and stepped on the stone slabs on the streets, and galloped towards their respective stations and yamen.

In the small lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion, a few people who were still talking to each other just now stopped discussing when they saw Wei Zheng walk in, and shifted their eyes to Wei Zheng, who had a calm face.

Facing the rebels who were getting closer and closer to Datong Mansion, Wei Zheng didn't hesitate too much, and said bluntly: "Everyone, the reason why you are in such a hurry is that everyone is called over, and there is only one reason, that is, the rebels are coming..."

"This is the information that Mr. Zhou Qian of the scout camp has just sent back, everyone take a look. After reading this, we will set out to meet the enemy, repel this rebel army that dares to invade Datong Mansion, and defend Datong Mansion..."

After reading the information, two completely different expressions quickly appeared on the faces of several people.

After only a trace of shock flashed on the faces of several people led by Zhou Shuyuan, a pair of eyes shot out two hot gazes. It's as if the rebels who are about to attack Datong Province are not enemies armed to the teeth and can kill, but prey to the mouth.

The faces of the prefect Li Wenxuan and the deputy general Zhang Wu showed diametrically opposite expressions, that is, panic and worry....

In the lobby, Li Wenxuan, the prefect who was responsible for defending the territory, had just finished reading the information, and said to Wei Zheng with a worried face: "My lord, the rebels are fierce, and all the people dispatched are elite. The magistrate thought that we should immediately order the counties to close the city gates and defend them with the help of the city walls..."

"The gentry and landlords in all counties should also be mobilized. Send all the families and nursing homes in your hands to the county commanders to defend Datong Mansion together......"

As soon as the prefect Li Wenxuan finished speaking, the deputy general Zhang Wu followed up and added: "My lord, the last general also agrees with the prefect's opinion. In the face of the rebels' heavy attack, our best option is to defend to the death..."

"Otherwise, with the tens of thousands of garrisons that have just been expanded, on the field battlefield, even a single attack by the rebels will not be able to stop it, and it will completely collapse..."

Wei Zheng didn't answer immediately, but shifted his gaze to Zhou Shuyuan, and asked thoughtfully, "Lord Zhou, what are your opinions?" ”

"One word, type..."Zhou Shuyuan said in a firm tone.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Feng, who had been busy with the training of the Tiger and Leopard Army during this time, hurriedly shouted: "Not only to fight, but also to face the head-on..."

"General, since this rebel army has sent 3,000 firearms troops as the vanguard, it wants to open a gap in our Datong defense line. Then the general took the initiative to ask the general for his order, and led the Haw Par Army Musket Regiment and the artillery battalion to meet the enemy, giving this rebel army a blow to their arrogance. ”

Zhao Yun followed and shouted: "Yes, you have to fight head-on." I don't believe that these rebels are more powerful than the Tartars...."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and said to Wang Feng: "Old Zhao, you are too unkind. Why should you go to meet the enemy, my cavalry regiment can't meet the enemy..."

"As far as I know, the rebel firearms units are armed with a large percentage of arquebuses and artillery, but these arquebuses and artillery pieces are old firearms. I can confidently say that under the attack of our cavalry regiments, the arquebuses in the hands of the rebels will lose their effectiveness after firing at most two rounds of lead bullets...."

"Therefore, the last general also asks for your lordship's order, if you want to attack the rebels head-on, you must not miss our cavalry regiment...."

Seeing the subordinates who were eager to try, Wei Zheng was satisfied, while Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu were full of worries.

Before Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu could speak, Wei Zheng had already made a firm decision: "Just do it, the whole army of the Tiger and Leopard Army will take the initiative to attack and face this rebel army on the only way for the rebels to attack Datong Mansion and extinguish their arrogance." ”

Seeing the expressions of desire and resignation on the faces of Li Wenxuan and Zhang Wu, Wei Zheng continued: "In addition to the Tiger and Leopard Army taking the initiative to attack and fight, the garrison of Datong Mansion also attacked. In addition, all civil officials above the seventh rank of the Datong Mansion Yamen must also follow the Datong Mansion garrison to attack together, because everyone has the responsibility of defending the territory. If this battle is lost, then all civil and military generals above the seventh rank in Datong Prefecture, including me, will be sent to the guillotine..."

"Yes, my lord," the two replied with embarrassed expressions.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly explained: "Of course, there is one thing, please rest assured that Lord Li and Vice General Zhang will not let the 10,000 Datong Mansion garrisons that have just been expanded go to death." ”

"As for the purpose of the Datong Mansion garrison and your lords' attack, there is only one thing, and that is to watch the battle..."

"Look at how our Tiger and Leopard Army defeated the rebels on the field battlefield with a force lower than the rebels...."

"Our Tiger and Leopard Army took the initiative to defeat the rebels and extinguish the arrogance of the rebels at the same time. I also want to get through this battle and raise everyone's morale against the rebels...."

On the official road 50 miles away from Datong Mansion, more than 5,000 young men who had just joined the garrison of Datong Mansion were under the command of hundreds of soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army, waving shovels in their hands bare-chested and overhauling fortifications.

As time passed, a wall of earth that could help the Haw Par Army block lead bullets, like the Great Wall, lay in the middle of the official road, cutting the official road that could not be seen in two sections.

At this moment, several cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army quickly rushed over.

After seeing Wei Zheng pointing behind the earthen wall, he jumped off his horse directly.

Kneeling on one leg, he gave a military salute to Wei Zheng and reported loudly: "My lord, the latest enemy report..."

"The rebel vanguard of 3,000 firearms troops, only ten miles away from the battlefield, and with a rapid marching speed, quickly rushing towards the battlefield, please prepare early.......

Wei Zheng nodded, his calm face was quickly covered with Yan Sù, and he ordered at Wang Feng: "General Wang, I will leave this battle to you...... Order the soldiers to enter the battlefield immediately, load the lead bullets, load the shells, and prepare for battle..."

"Cavalry regiment, it is forbidden to attack without my order ..."

Then, he turned his head to Li Wenxuan and the others and said, "Lord Li, Vice General Zhang, the battle is about to begin, order the troops under your command and all the adults to prepare to watch the battle, and see how the Tiger and Par Army defeated the rebels." (To be continued......)
