It's just past noon. However, the two sides have been fighting for more than two hours. Don't say that the horses can't stand it, even the soldiers fighting in the front row are physically and mentally exhausted.

In the morning battle, there was no temptation on both sides at all, and the climax was a climax as soon as the fight began, and this climax continued. The two sides are like a pair of boxers, regardless of the fact that the boxing match will be played for twelve rounds, and once they come up, they use all their strength to attack each other's vital points.

It should be said that if this happened to the two sides of the battle, many of them would have returned to their respective camps to end the day's battle after Mingjin had rested. This is because, in ancient battles, battles lasted for a few days, or even half a month to more than a month, which was also a very common thing, and it was not necessary to decide the winner in one day.

However, the Ming army and the rebels did not think about ending the battle at all, and both sides swapped the troops in the front row and the troops in the back row, preparing to continue the battle after the intermission.

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian also called the commanders of the Three Route Ming Army, the three commanders-in-chief, Jin Guoqi, Qiu Lei, and Yang Yufan, over to simply deploy the battle in the afternoon.

Gao Qiqian still asked his most trusted Jin Guoqi as usual: "General Jin, what is your strategy?" ”

Jin Guoqi was not polite at this time, he immediately replied: "Lord Governor, Lord Supervisor." The traitor's firearms are on a par with ours. If you fight like this, I don't know if you want to fight until the Year of the Monkey. The last general thought that after a while, he would quietly drive the artillery team behind our Liaodong Army, and we also covered the movements of the artillery team, and as soon as the artillery team fired, our Liaodong Army took advantage of the gap opened by the artillery shells to rush into the thief camp. ”

"But this also requires the cooperation of Mr. Qiu and Mr. Yang. In the battle that is going to be a little while, you will still have to attack first as you did in the morning, and you will still attack fiercely to attract the attention of the traitors. Just wait until our Liaodong army rushes in one go. The traitor's formation can be shattered. We were definitely able to get a big win today. ”

This tactic is nothing more than striking at the west. It should be said that the possibility of success is also very high. Therefore, after discussing some details, this battle plan was decided.

But when the three general soldiers were about to disperse, Zhu Dadian ordered the soldiers on the side: "Go to Vice General Liu to say it too." Let them also be ready, ready to wait for the order to come up. ”

Seeing that Jin Guoqi and Qiu Lei stopped, and their faces were a little ugly, Zhu Dadian explained: "At the moment of battle, we must also cooperate sincerely. Today, all the captured Benfu and the High Prison Army will be 30%, either for our own or for those troops who are not in the front row. Therefore, don't use any crooked brains, and wait until you win this battle. ”

Then Gao Qiqian also chimed in: "The meaning of the governor is also the meaning of this supervising army. Do you understand? ”

At this time, in order to win the battle, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, as commanders, had to exert every strength. As for the contradictions, we have to put them aside first.

"No!" "No! Jin Guoqi and Qiu Lei saluted helplessly to receive the order.

In fact. There is no need for Zhu Dadian's order, and the coalition forces don't want to be a spectator in the battle. Now the military attaches of the coalition forces are all gathered together. Listen to Wu Shigong's arrangement.

"Wait for the afternoon to start. Taking advantage of the smoke cover, our coalition forces are about to press forward. Remember, our coalition army is a whole, and our brothers have all taken care of each other along the way, so today on this battlefield, we must also be in a group. Don't scatter. ”

"If, after pressing up, the battle in the afternoon will still be as hard as in the morning, we will not move. There is no need to send our troops up to their deaths. But if there is an opportunity, then we have to act together. ”

Then Wu Shigong pulled out his katana. Drawing a simple pattern on the ground, he explained: "It doesn't have to be complicated, if it is complicated, you illiterate people can't understand it." ”

Wu Shigong's words caused a burst of daxiao.

"We, the Runing Battalion, are the forwards. If there is an opportunity, the infantry and artillery of our Runing battalion, and my own personal army will open the gap in the traitor formation. The vanguard is commanded by me personally. ”

"Attention, the smoke of gunpowder on this battlefield is so great that you can't see the situation in front clearly. Whether you stay where you are or charge forward, you can watch what I do. Everything is based on my movements. Be aware of this! ”

Then Wu Shigong said to Chen Zhongzhi: "Chen Dusi, you are the most courageous in our coalition army, so you still lead the elite 1,000 drawn from each battalion to follow behind our Runing battalion. ”

"Beware, your forces are to be split into two groups. Wait until our Runing battalion opens the gap. Your two forces will tear apart the traitor's formation left and right. ”

Then Wu Shigong said to Li Sanhe: "Sanhe, you still take those seven hundred cavalry. When Chen Dusi tears apart the traitor formation, you have to rush into the traitor formation and completely disrupt the traitor's formation. ”

Then Wu Shigong said to Liu Zeqing: "Brother Hezhou, you are the main general, and you have to command in the center." You have to take the main force of our coalition army, closely followed by the cavalry of Mikawa, and also divide into two groups, to cover up the traitors. But you should also pay attention, don't cover up too deeply, and accept it when you see it. In a word, our coalition forces must not disperse. ”

Then Wu Shigong arranged for Jiang Cheng and several other military attachés: "Jiang Qian, you guys, you have to cover the right flank of our coalition army, and Yuan garrison and guard the garrison, you bring your own subordinates to cover the left flank of the coalition army." Not only do we need to separate you from the other Ming troops when we press forward, but also resist the traitors' counterattack when we rush into the traitor formation, and don't let them intercept our retreat. ”

Zuihou Wu Shigong confessed to Yan Dingshan: "Yan guerrilla, you will take your troops and the auxiliary soldiers of our Runing battalion to the rear of the palace. The carts of our coalition forces have also been drawn to you. The troops in front of us don't care about the head and capture, they just rely on your broken collection. You must do your work cleanly, and our coalition will rely on you to make a fortune! ”

Wu Shigong's words once again caused a commotion.

"Again, watch my actions. My Runing battalion charges, and you can charge. Even if we lose the battle today, we still have to hold together. It is absolutely not allowed to turn around and run away. Even if you escape, follow my Runing camp around in a circle and then flee. Don't worry, there are more than 10,000 of us, and the traitors will never be able to gnaw. ”

Then Wu Shigong asked Liu Zeqing: "Brother Hezhou, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Liu Zeqing said: "Just do what Brother Changjing said." You should also pay attention, and you must remember the words of the elder brother. Be sure to huddle in a group. Tell all the sons, it's not that my old Liu is too ruthless, and if he doesn't listen to the order and runs away after a while, he will not show mercy to the Fa on the spot. There is nothing else. ”

Seeing Liu Zeqing nodding, Wu Shigong said, "Okay, brothers, let's go back to the camp and arrange the order of departure of your troops." Let the troops stand in position first, ready to press at any time. ”

After seeing the military attachés saluting, he left. Wu Shigong said to the officers of the Runing Battalion: "Now arrange for our Runing Battalion." ”

"Zhou Xun and Yu Ji, the two of you will take the five hundred infantry of the mobile battalion to cover the advance of Liang Hui's artillery team. Liang Hui, your artillery must be loaded with shells first, and as soon as you reach the position, you must shoot as soon as possible. ”

"After the artillery shooting, it will be Zhou Xun and Yu Ji who will shoot with the two of you, striving to open a gap in the formation of a traitor. After that, Rusong took the people of the pro-barracks to widen the gap under the cover of artillery and guns in the back. But Zhou Xun and Yu Ji should also pay attention, you are not just shooting guns in the back, and after Rusong's pro-military battalion charges, you must also keep up. ”

"As for how to fight? How many rows should artillery and guns shoot? It's up to you to decide. Here's what I have to say. We, the Runing Battalion, don't want to have too much damage on our own. But since we are going to fight, we must win by smashing the pot and selling the iron land. The officer is by your side, and if the battle situation is unfavorable, the officer will personally charge. ”

"My lord, I don't need you! You just wait! Zhou Xun replied with a grin.

"That's it! It is! We don't need an adult to defeat the traitor. ”

……

The reason why Wu Shigong arranged his own Runing battalion was to take the initiative to be the vanguard of the coalition army. On the one hand, he also used his own actions to win the trust of the coalition military attachés. On the other hand, Wu Shigong was too deeply stimulated in this battle of Denglai.

The appearance of Wu Sangui, the firearms of the rebels and the Ming army, and the cavalry of the Guanning Iron Cavalry......

Anyway, under these stimuli, Wu Shigong is now thinking about strengthening the strength of the Runing Battalion and increasing the financial resources of the Runing Battalion. But those things don't fall from the sky on their own. It is to rely on the desperate efforts of the Runing battalion.

Therefore, after a while, he felt that his arrangement could be borne by the Runing battalion, so Wu Shigong immediately and decisively placed his Runing battalion in the vanguard position of the coalition army.

But what is interesting is that Wu Shigong and Jin Guoqi both coincidentally proposed the tactic of using artillery to open the battle situation. Wu Shigong has the idea that modern people attach importance to firearms, so it is not surprising that he proposed this tactic. And Jin Guoqi, that is the experience after a long time on the battlefield.

The troops on both sides stepped up to feed the horses with dry rations. After a period of maneuvering, the two sides also quickly stood up in a new formation.

And at this time, Kong Youde, the chief general of the rebels, said with a smile to the military attaché and personal soldiers around him: "It has been tested in the morning, and our left flank is facing the Guanning Iron Cavalry." In the afternoon battle, the officers and troops must use the Guanning Iron Cavalry as the main attack. Because only the Liaodong Army is the opponent of our Liaodong Army! ”

Kong Youde's words also caused a burst of laughter.

Kong Youde then ordered: "Get the chariots and horses ready, and when the Guanning Iron Cavalry rushes over, let's surprise them." (To be continued......)
