Chapter 290 - The First Battle of the Cossacks (Twenty-one)
"I've seen the general under the mark! I've seen all of you! After a while, the former "half-point leader" who hung half of his arms and now the "Niu Lu Zhangjing" Wu Enqi, who was expanding his eight hundred years, entered the account. This middle-level officer, who has made great contributions, has long been informed that he will be on standby near the big tent of the Chinese army today.
"Good boy! I'm ashamed of not having a blue flag for me! Lan Bai naturally praised his subordinates first.
In the battle a few days ago, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Enqi used his own 100 people to drag down 500 Rakshasas, the battle behind this would never have gone so smoothly.
"Gushan is really ridiculous! It's all the brothers who ...... with their lives" Wu Enqi was a little twisted at this time, and he seemed to think of a small half of his brothers who had died in battle.
"Wu Enqi, you and your half Niu Lu have made a great contribution this time, and we will definitely not leave a single of your brothers behind in the performance of the table to the imperial court! Good job! Jidu took over the topic, first "positive incentive".
"Thank you for the brothers who are loyal to the court!" Unqi dragged half of his injured arm to his knees and thanked him.
"Hurry up! You are now a serious Niu Lu Zhangjing, come, watch, drink! Jidu also liked this brave and affectionate officer very much, and ordered to set up a seat.
Watching Wu Enqi drink a big bowl of wine boldly, the three veterans were overflowing with joy. Ji Du nodded and said:
"That Ablin, what's going on these days?"
"Back to the general, he has been very curious these days, saying why there are so many Rakshasas in your military camp all at once." Wu Enqi wiped his mouth and got up again.
"Oh. Didn't he know that we had destroyed the Rakshasa food caravan? Say as you eat! Jidu asked with a satisfied smile, waving his hand to signal Wu Enqi to sit down and reply. The army is the most realistic, and the Qing army will not show hypocrisy in the face of any food. Ji Du has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally understands this.
After many days of observation, Jidu has become more and more fond of this young "half-point leader". First of all, this man attaches great importance to and faithfully implements his decisions, as evidenced by his ease at the mercy of Ablin. Second, this person's combat power is quite strong, and only half a Niu Lu can contain a full five hundred rakshasas! Third, be good at grasping changes on the battlefield. Able to move with a camera. Take down the leader of the bandit army in one fell swoop! With these three points, it is enough to reuse! What Jidu has to do now is to further test the knowledge and ability of this Mongolian man.
Sure enough, Uenqi sat down again. Boldly ripped off a piece of braised pork. After a few bites, I swallowed hastily. Swallowing another sip of wine, he continued:
"As you command...... It was strictly forbidden for the captured Rakshasas to tell the truth to this Ablin...... and they were not allowed to have any words with him. but whosoever speaks. No mercy will be given! Besides, Ablin and the others were strictly guarded by the brothers wherever they went, and they marked that they themselves followed him personally, only letting him see, not asking questions. If it weren't for the general's pass, I would still be following him in the camp at this time! ”
"Haha, good! Then he didn't ask how you got hurt? Ji Xiha took over the conversation, and when he saw the expression, he was very fond of this young descendant, and even moved the idea of taking him under his command.
"If you go back to Gushan Ezhen, can he not ask? I'm just laughing and ignoring him! ”
"Haha, you've suffocated our envoys! Ha ha! Zishiha laughed with satisfaction.
"Well, in a few days you can send that Ablin to my big tent. I want him to hear for himself that the castles on the shores of Lake Baikal that he spoke of have been conquered by me one by one! I see, there is no need to hide it from him anymore, let him adapt to the military might of my Qing Dynasty first! Jidu said heartily.
"Huh! Thank you, General! Unqi stood up and gave a military salute.
"Oh? Uenqi, what do you thank me for? "Jidu didn't quite understand.
"General Xie is because I don't have to play all those foolish things with this Rakshasa anymore, and this is a lot more tiring to deal with a Rakshasa who is chattering like a canary than to deal with those fierce Cossacks......" Unqi explained with relief.
"Hahaha...... Okay, you're a Uenqi, you're arranging me! Hahaha......" Jidu laughed heartily.
"The general laughed, how dare Wu Enqi arrange you, he just felt it. Ha ha. Lan Bai hurriedly gave an explanation for the young man.
"Yes, my Mongolian man just has something to say, and I don't think the general really thinks it's a complaint!" To everyone's surprise, for the first time, he seconded Rambai's remarks in public.
"The two old generals joked, how can Jidu not know that you love your heart? Haha-" Jidu also explained his jokes with a smile, and got in perfect harmony with several old generals. However, his smile disappeared in an instant, and he asked with a serious face:
"Unqi, let me ask you, you just talked about the Cossacks, how about the Cossacks?"
"Back to the general's words, those Cossacks can be called strong!" Wu Enqi was stunned for a moment, although he put down the wine glass in a timely manner, he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. At the same time, the first three old generals also had to change their faces to be serious, staring at the expression of the great general Jidu, and then looking at Wu Enqi's performance.
"Tough? Compared to my Eight Banners? Jidu continued to ask questions expressionlessly.
"When it comes to the confrontation between the two armies, they are too loose to be worried! But if we talk about fighting alone, the Cossacks and our Eight Bannermen can be said to be on a par. Wu Enqi still replied firmly, and even raised his head and looked directly at his general.
At this time, he sorted out the conclusions he had come to after meditating in the tent for several days. This "preparatory homework" is also thanks to the advice and advice of the good brother Yaerbixi in the army at the moment of the final siege and annihilation of the Rakshasa people that day.
"How so? You're right, you don't have a lot of natural military merits. If you are unscrupulous, don't blame General Ben for giving you a charge of disturbing the morale of the army! When the time comes, I won't even have to do half a cent! Jidu said ruthlessly, but his expression was as calm as ever.
"Huh!" Unqi was encouraged by Jidu's expression, and he didn't show any panic.
"General, mark a hundred horsemen, and twenty horsemen followed me to capture the bandit leader, and took away more than eighty horsemen of the enemy. The rest of the cattle were less than 100 horsemen, and the Cossacks were 130 people, but in fact the number was equal. But after a hedge, the number of casualties on both sides was actually equal, becoming 80 to more than 100. If it weren't for the brother who led the team to decisively give the order to shoot them, I am afraid that after a few charges, we can only be exhausted, and the opponent will have a slight remnant by virtue of the numerical advantage. Therefore, under the mark, in terms of fighting alone and simply charging, the Cossacks and the elite of our Eight Banners can be said to be on par. "Un's words are true and unsubtle.
"Well, equal? Okay, you go on! Ji Du frowned lightly and nodded slightly.
"But after 20 of my side captured the Cossack bandits, more than 80 people on the other side were afraid of each other, and with several times the strength of my troops, they did not dare to charge and fight, so they could only miss the opportunity. As soon as General Lanbai's army arrived, they collapsed without a fight, which is indeed ignorant of the art of war. Especially when they arrived in front of the formation of General Jishiha and General Shi, they could not form a formation to protect themselves, but panicked, and as a result, they broke up the battle formation that the Rakshasa infantry army had just finished arraising, and it was not the work of qualified soldiers. Therefore, it is believed that if they fight alone, the Cossacks can be described as brave and brave, but after all, they are all outcasts and reckless, and they cannot be called qualified soldiers. ”
Wu Enqi lost no time in giving a great compliment to the other three officials in the account, and as he wished, he saw that the three of them were constantly nodding and praising him, so he concluded his speech:
"I also thought that if the Cossack cavalry harassed in all directions, it would be very harmful. But let them fight in formation, at least in front of the strict military formation of my Eight Banners, it is not worth mentioning at all. ”
"Hmm."
Ji Du nodded again, and this time he added the heads of Lan Bai, Ji Xiha, Shi Tingzhu and others to second.
"In this case, once dozens of Cossacks are allowed to gallop in groups of threes and threes on this wasteland, unless I am ready for the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be unpredictable! But in the vast wasteland, the pony team of more than a dozen people came and went without a trace, and it was really impossible for our army to move. Wu Enqi didn't listen to Jidu's words, so he had to explain his understanding in depth.
But as soon as these words came out, everyone didn't nod immediately, especially Lan Bai and Ji Xiha, who seemed to be a little nervous about Wu Enqi - you say "can't be prevented"? Could it be that I am unbearable? Be careful, young man!

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
The layout is a long-cherished wish
It's hard to come and go
Get up and spend a hundred years
Point out the suffering and diseases of the world
The edge of the town was razed to the sea
