Chapter 136 is waiting
The morning sun fell on the camp, and the white-pole soldiers who had drunk too much last night got up a little late. The green leather group is good at practicing anything, but there are many rules. You have to go to a fixed place to untie your hands, and if you find a time to urinate anywhere, you will immediately pick up someone. For this matter, the five hundred white pole soldiers have changed dozens of people. On other people's turf, there is no reason to talk about it. If you don't want to stay, fuck off!
Ma Xianglin is also not used to the rules here, but he still plays a good leading role. After a long time of getting used to it, you will still feel the benefits of more rules. In the past, I didn't set up camp for too long, I got up one night, and the next day the wind blew, and the smell of urine in the camp was unpleasant. Here, such a thing will definitely not happen and will not be allowed to happen. Even if you get up in the middle of the night to urinate, there are sentries on duty who will remind you not to defecate in the open.
The pride in the eyes of the officers and men of the Dengzhou regimental training battalion was naked, naked and unconcealed, and they all squinted when they looked at people. People really either dislike you for being poor, or they dislike you for being casual, and then expand the scope of dislike.
After staying in Xianghe for three days, on the way to Tianjin, the feelings between the officers and men on both sides deepened. As long as you follow the rules, no one will dislike you, this is the principle of the regimental training camp. After these white pole soldiers get used to the rules, I don't know if they can get used to it when they go back.
When squatting by the pressurized water well and hurriedly freshening up, a green-skinned young officer came, Ma Xianglin hurriedly smiled politely, and the people also explained politely: "General Ma, this is the living utensils issued to you, I didn't get it when I was in Xianghe, and I will make up for it." Everybody has it. You click and look, and if there is no problem, you can sign and press your fingerprint. ”
Cotton coat, blanket, two sets of underwear, towels, cotton shoes, toothpaste and toothbrush, lunch box, washbasin, and one backpack. After reading the list, Ma Xianglin said strangely: "Why don't you have cotton clothes and pants, that's what you wear?" ”
The young officer tilted his mouth slightly, but still said very politely: "The master confessed, you are not from the regimental training battalion, and you are not prepared for cotton clothes, cotton pants, and armed belts." ”
"Oh, thank you again." Ma Xianglin is not an ignorant bastard. Eat and wear at people's houses. It's all supplied by others, and you really expect to be your ancestor? He was not stupid, he guessed that Chen Xie had taken a fancy to the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers and wanted to build a reliable ally.
Ma Xianglin's idea was right. The Ming army is really too bad. But the main factor. Or out of respect for Qin Liangyu. Otherwise, although I know which green onion you Ma Xianglin is? Holding a newly collared lunch box. I went to the stove to line up for dinner, and I was like this in the regimental training camp.
After breakfast, Chen Xie appeared. Said to Ma Xianglin: "Let the brothers gather, send some new equipment, and we have to rush back in the afternoon." ”
And also? Ma Xianglin said in his heart that he was not grateful, that was. But it's not the kind of person who will sell his mouth, just fight to the death on the battlefield, why do you say so much? Five hundred white pole soldiers were soon assembled. More than a dozen carts entered the camp, all from the docks. Chen Xie took matters into his own hands, took off a pair of plate armor from the cart, and handed it to Ma Xianglin: "Put it on and try it." ”
This thing is a bit rudimentary, just a steel plate, six straps, two hanging around the neck, and four tied behind the back, even if you wear plate armor. It's a little simpler, but after putting it on, it's very majestic to look at when you paint the plate armor with black paint. There is also a helmet, with a mask, and when you put it on, the whole person becomes an iron man, at least from the front.
The 400 white-pole soldiers put on plate armor and lined up in a square formation, while the 200 white-pole soldiers put on their armed belts and took firearms. After standing under the command of the officers of the regimental training battalion, Ma Xianglin's face changed as he watched the 100 musketeers in it under the protection of the spear array of 400 white-pole soldiers wearing plate armor.
Chen Xie nodded with satisfaction and said to Ma Xianglin: "You can see it, right?" In the future, I will line up like this for war, but this time I am not ready, and I will go back and tie a knee pad iron plate to my knee, and there will be almost no problem. The key to this formation is that the queue must be neat, and when you return to Xianghe, you have worked hard to practice. ”
Ma Xianglin took a deep breath and looked at the hundreds of white-pole soldiers wearing black plate armor in front of him, who instantly became powerful warriors, and his understanding of Chen Xie's economic strength had reached a new height. It's not that this plate armor is so difficult to get, it's where you got so much iron. Ma Xianglin didn't know that this was not plate armor made of pig iron, it was all steel! The steel transported from modern society has been processed by the Dengzhou blacksmith workshop and turned into the curved steel plate in front of you. Brush it with paint, you think it's iron, but in fact, this 65 manganese steel can't be cut through with the sharpest knife, let alone a bow and arrow.
The helmet is made of pig iron in the Ming Dynasty, not reluctant, but the shape is more complex, and it is difficult to process this Ming Dynasty style helmet with steel, not to mention the mask.
After lunch, 500 white-pole soldiers dressed in plate armor went on the road as the pioneers, adding up to more than 30 pounds of iron armor, dressed very majesticly, and suffered when they walked. After walking out of twenty miles, Ma Xianglin couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly found Chen Xie and said: "Sihua, brother, this is too hard, it's better to unload it and put it on the car and transport it." ”
Chen Xie said expressionlessly: "I can't stand this bit of suffering, it's better to get out of here." From today onwards, marching and fighting, this must be worn. If you work hard in peacetime, you can save your life in wartime. If you are lazy in peacetime, you will have to die in wartime. ”
Hesitating Chen Xie's insistence, Ma Xianglin had no choice but to give up. The march became slower and slower, and in one afternoon it was only twenty miles. It set a precedent for the slow marching speed of the white pole soldiers. Chen Xie is not in a hurry, just walk slowly.
After a day and a half of walking, the team returned to Xianghe. After receiving reinforcements from the new two reserve units, Chen Xie's regimental training strength reached eight infantry teams, one grenadier team, one engineer team, one baggage team, one formal artillery team, and the reserve artillery team dominated by the second phase of the Jiading Academy, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people, not counting 500 people.
With enough troops, Chen Xie also dared to wait patiently for Hauge's arrival. However, after Qin Liangyu got Ma Xianglin's letter, he stuffed five hundred white pole soldiers into Xianghe. He put together a team of 1,000 people and let Chen Xie practice hard.
Time flies, and seeing that the first month is about to pass, Huang Taiji at this time began to run into walls everywhere on the front line of Shanhaiguan. It has been frustrated in Funing, Changli, Leting and other places. And the reinforcements of King Qin from all over the Ming army arrived, and the Shanhaiguan defense line was impregnable. At this time, the Houjin army, after several months of fighting, was already quite tired. Huang Taiji decided to return along the original path before the Ming army could begin to counterattack. The problem is that he soon discovered a new problem, what if Xifengkou and other places have been occupied by the Ming army?
Assuming that the retreat route is cut off and the road ahead cannot be crossed, at this time, in terms of strategic situation, the 100,000 troops of the Later Jin Dynasty are surrounded by the Ming army. Huang Taiji quickly came up with a solution. Turn around and go west, hit Jizhou and Sanhe. (Note: In the first month, the Later Jin army fell into Yongping Mansion, forked and fell into Qian'an, and then fell into Luanzhou and other places on the fourth day of Yue.) The residents of Weichangli gathered the defeated army, and the strength of the army and the people climbed the slope to defend the slope, and Huang Taiji attacked it with Mongolian soldiers, and did not resist. Ordered Dar Mo to lead a large army to attack day and night, but he did not resist. Huang Taiji moved from Funing, attacked Changli on all sides, burned the cloud ladder and folded, could not be edged, and the revival army held a shield to the city, and was also attacked. The Houjin military skills are poor, and Chang Li is complete. And Sanhe, Baodi saw that Changli was defending and did not fall, because he also held on to the city, and all of them were obtained. )
In the face of the illusion created by Huang Taiji to attack the Beijing division again, the Ming army in Jizhou, Sanhe, Tongzhou and other places did not dare to fight, and shrank in the city and prepared to defend to the death. At this time, the Ming army in the direction of Shanhaiguan did not know the actual situation of the Qing army, and did not dare to attack lightly. This gave Huang Taiji enough time and made a bold move, that is, to cross Jizhou to fight Sanhe, and fake the show.
Relying on mobility, the main force of Houjin, under the command of Huang Taiji, quickly went west to kill a horse pistol. Suddenly, the wind in Beijing became tighter. Don't say it, under Chen Xie's persuasion, Zhang Keda really didn't move when he arrived in Tongzhou, and the people of the governor of Baoding really left him behind. There is also Qin Liangyu, who took the initiative to ask for battle several times, but was suppressed by the military department and asked her to garrison the Beijing Division.
At this time when the situation was chaotic, Sun Chengzong recruited the dead and walked all the way south along the seaside. (Note: Reading this, I am quite puzzled, why not take the sea route to Tianjin?) I went around in a big circle and went to Jingshi to report the news. The Jingshi who got the news was immediately overjoyed. The ministers who were a little smarter saw that at this time, the Houjin army was almost unable to hold out for long, and it was time to leave. But the premise is that you have to defend Sanhe and Baodi. At this time, Houjin sent three people and horses, riding fast horses and going straight to Sanhe, Baodi, and Xianghe. The calculation is a sneak attack, and it can't be said that it will be two, as long as it creates a space for Huang Taiji to retreat calmly. You must know that Huang Taiji did not march with military horses, but carried a large number of looted materials and people, and the main force could not move fast at all.
When the Later Jin Army marched westward, Chen Xie was looking forward to it in Xianghe. For fear that history will change again, Hauge will not lead his troops to attack. At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, a fast horse galloped to the camp gate, and the soldiers on horseback were covered in sweat and shouted: "Urgent report, a large number of men and horses of Houjin are coming." ”
At this moment, Chen Xie was in the big tent, fiddling with the map with Ma Xianglin. In terms of the surrounding terrain, this is the best battlefield, and the terrain is relatively high, which is conducive to Chen Xie's artillery firepower. Now it's not that I'm afraid that Houjin will come, but I'm afraid that I won't come.
The herald who was covered in sweat was helped in by two soldiers, and when he saw Chen Xie, he said: "Master, Chief He asked the small one to come back, and a large number of horses appeared thirty miles away, no less than 5,000 people. ”
Chen Xie has already taken the case: "Okay, it's good to come, I'm finally looking forward to it." ”
Ma Xianglin had a bitter face on the side, and said in his heart that it was the 5,000 brigade, you are happy with a hammer. (To be continued......)
