Chapter 963: The Theory of Approaching War

The mounts of the Zhao Ziying horse team are all healthy horses selected and brought back from the grassland, usually the forage is sufficient, the care is diligent, the horse harness and farriers are complete, and the cavalry is also the head of the coach invited from the military household of the guard, combined with the experience of the Mongolian departments on the grassland, and knows how to give full play to the horsepower, knows how to protect the mount, knows how to fight on the horse, and these horse detectives and horses, but the green forest ringing horses, what good horses do they have, a sick horse and an old horse have to be used to death, people sometimes eat meat, and there are times when they eat bran and throat vegetables, There can be taken care of the mount, as for the kung fu of the bow horse, the poor are rich and martial, who will fall into the grass and do the outlaw, the bow and horse skills are all the rivers and lakes that have been practiced later.

These horsemen thought they were invincible in the world, and felt that as long as they could not touch the elite cavalry of the first class of the officers and soldiers, the others would no longer be their opponents.

No one thought that Zhao Ziying's horse team was so strong, after a few people died under the fast horse and strong bow of Zhao Ziying's horseback riding family, they immediately dispersed, all of them were far away, and everyone was not a fanatical believer who burned incense and worshiped Buddha, but for the sake of money and benefits, he was driven by the Smelling Fragrance Sect, why take the initiative to send him to death?

The scouts around him are not worth mentioning to Zhao Ziying, not even mosquitoes, but this situation makes Zhao Ziying very uncomfortable, this is not Jining's empty appearance, it is clearly prepared.

Before dark this night, standing on a high place, you can already see Jining City, relying on a Zhuangzi to camp on the spot, there is no one in the village, and I don't know whether I was captured or fled.

The really uncomfortable thing is that the well in Zhuangzi was poisoned, but fortunately, Zhao Ziying's discipline was extremely strict, and it had to be tested before taking water, which was nothing more than observing the color of the water, and then testing the poison with livestock, and the well was put into the highly poisonous

Fortunately, the canal is flowing water, there is no way to poison it, and it is along the river, you can take water on the spot, and the transportation is also very convenient, but the upper and lower are strictly ordered, and it is required to boil before drinking.

Zhao Ziying went north along the river, judging from the speed of the march, it was easy to judge where the camp was, and it was not difficult to poison, but this method made people think about it and be afraid, from south to north, there was no obstacle, which made people unconsciously relax their vigilance, and suddenly, with such a means, if Zhao Ziying really relaxed, there would inevitably be casualties, and it would cause panic

The handling of this matter, Li Song, Li Sen, a few brothers of the Li family admired the five-body throwing, since the march north, although they admired the military strength of the Zhao battalion, but they did not understand the military discipline, the military discipline of the Zhao battalion is not as cruel as the Ming Dynasty, at every turn to cut off hands and feet, arrows through the cheeks, hanged and beheaded is more common, but the Zhao battalion is just a military stick and whipping, they feel that this can not be suppressed below, but the military discipline is loose, partial and complicated and detailed, everything is restricted, there are rules for eating and drinking, for these, The Li brothers were even more disdainful in private, thinking that it was because the country men had never seen anything in the world, so they came up with so many rules with their heads.

The following soldiers work hard to eat food, isn't it just to ask for a good time, your constraints are so tight, and the military discipline is so loose, so that everyone is not afraid and easy to resent, how can you drive the army to work for you when the time comes, what I didn't expect is that the soldiers who are constrained by the military discipline of the Zhao Zi battalion are scattered as one person, and they also rely on this military discipline, and they can't drink water at will in the family group, and they must use their own gourds to drink the water that has been boiled, so as to avoid being injured by this poisonous well water.

"Big brother, the demon of the Smelling Fragrance Sect must be prepared, in order to be safe, should you camp on the spot and wait for the third regiment to come up and move forward?" During the night collegiate discussion, the strength of the rotation was increased when everyone patrolled the camp, and all regiments and teams were required to be ready for battle at any time.

"Third brother, when you get here, if you stop and don't move, it will be a show of weakness to the enemy, and the morale of the army will also shake, we have dispatched three regiments and two brigades this time, well-equipped, with sufficient food and grass, what else do you want to talk about the waste of such pigs and dogs as Wenxiangjiao?" Ji Xiang retorted unceremoniously, he was looking forward to the war from the bottom of his heart, and suddenly asked for something safe, of course he would not agree.

Shi Manqiang, who was on the side, nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "The eldest brother also said that these cult demons are secretly doing tricks and feet, and if they really want the army to fight, they are not opponents, and the families below have been a little lax until now, if they stop when they are so close, the families will definitely be angry, and if they really want to fight again, I am afraid there will be big trouble." ”

Over there, Chen Sheng nodded and said to Zhao Jin: "Shi has been in the village on the east bank for so long, he really sinks down to do things, and knows how to train and use soldiers." ”

Hearing this, Shi Manqiang's swarthy face was a little red, but his mouth couldn't help grinning, full of smiles, but Ji Xiang's face was a little embarrassed, his impetuousness was criticized by Zhao Jin and Chen Sheng not once, Liu Yong sat down with a smile.

But such a scene made Wang Zhaojing suddenly burst into flames, raised his voice and said: "The Zhao Ziying is indeed strong, and our regiments and brigades are indeed powerful, but this is our lifeline, the thieves have nearly 10,000 elites, and more than 100,000 young and strong, in case there is anything missing, what should we do next, those bastards around, and even these local heroes in Xuzhou, will tear us to pieces, have you thought of this?" ”

Wang Zhaojing rarely had such an outburst moment, he looked like this, the others were stunned at first, and then they were all silent, Chen Sheng shook his head there, and Wang Zhaojing also smiled.

"Third brother, we faced tens of thousands of thieves with hundreds of people back then, and the eldest brother and second brother led everyone to rush to the city to kill them, and now we have a brigade of nearly 7,000, a horse team of more than 1,000, and bows and arrows and firearms. Yoshika stood up, gritted her teeth and began to argue, her voice getting higher and higher.

Wang Zhaojing frowned at first, then his face turned red, and he said loudly: "You mean I'm scared now?" Or was I cowardly? You kill the enemy outside the city, I kill the enemy inside the city, I'm not afraid, I'm taking care of the overall situation! It's not easy for us to fight this situation, we must be cautious, we must be cautious, am I just afraid of these? ”

Before the thieves crossed Henan, Wang Zhaojing studied in the city because he was preparing to take the road of imperial examination and fame, and the brothers already had a tendency to separate at that time.

But when tens of thousands of homeless people besieged Xuzhou City, Zhao Jin and Chen Sheng led hundreds of families to kill tens of thousands of thieves, which was really nine deaths, and Wang Zhaojing was in the fortified city, leading people to guard the city and block the city gate, which was also very dangerous, but this matter was not mentioned much in Zhao Ziying, and it was discussed in private, and it would be said that Wang Zhaojing escaped from the battle at that time, and did not share life and death with everyone.

The partners were ambushed, Sun Dalei died in battle, Wang Zhaojing had collapsed, Xuzhou besieged the city, he did not fight side by side, Zhao Jin and his partners from childhood to adulthood several key points, Wang Zhaojing's appearance can not be said to be too good, but this matter is just in the heart, will not mention it, these things are also scars in Wang Zhaojing's heart, can not be mentioned, today everyone is arguing urgently, Ji Xiang may not have this meaning, but Wang Zhaojing took it seriously.

At this moment, Wang Zhaojing's calm and calm and sven bearing were completely gone, staring at Ji Xiang viciously, and Ji Xiang's face was flushed and he didn't let it go at all.

"Sit down, my brothers can say anything, and my brothers will speak straight when they have something to say." Zhao Jin, who had been sitting back and watching everyone argue, finally spoke.

His face was flat, and there was no joy or anger in his voice, but his companions who were familiar with Zhao Jin didn't dare to say it anymore.

"Xuzhou is too small, there are too many taboos in Nanzhili, in that core place of the world, outside Xuzhou, even if it is Qingjiangpu, we can only meddle in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and the place where we can take root is the barren grass beach, which is actually a place of lawlessness, if we do it in Huai'an Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion and Fengyang Mansion in three places, or further south, it will immediately affect the world, not only the imperial court will send troops to suppress it, but those local gentry and tyrants will also fight with us endlessly, North Zhili is an important place in Gyeonggi, There are many vassal kings in Henan, and it is the land of the Central Plains, so it is also troublesome to run, and the only direction we can take is this Lunan place. ”

Wang Zhaojing sighed lightly, and Zhao Jin continued: "Taking the Lunan region, we can seize more population, control more fields, and our situation will also double, instead of being cramped in Xuzhou and scattered all over Nanzhili, but there is a complete situation, when the time comes, it will be easy and convenient to mobilize forces and gather materials, and it will be further at this time." ”

Zhao Jin stood up, his voice became strict, looked at everyone and said: "For this bigger situation, for this further, we are worth taking risks, it is worth betting this time, since we have come here, we can't be delayed, we can't delay." ”

Wang Zhaojing was just about to speak, but Zhao Jin said again: "Over time, we have to fight quickly, we can't wait for the officials and troops to come over, and we can't wait for the Wenxiang Sect to go deeper into the operation, although they will not pose a threat to us no matter how much they practice our methods, but this is a big trouble, not to mention, our affairs are more than these." ”

Ji Xiang smashed his palm with his fist, very excited, Zhao Jin's words were tantamount to setting the tone, to fight!

"Zhaojing, tomorrow you are early, you will take a boat back to Xuzhou"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhaojing stood up from his seat suddenly, his face flushed, and he waved his hands and said: "Big brother, the little brother can also be strong and stubborn, and he can also go into battle to kill the enemy, the little brother is not afraid of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, the eldest brother let the little brother go back to Xuzhou at this time, isn't it because he dislikes the little brother for being cowardly and timid?" If the eldest brother doesn't believe it, the younger brother is willing to be a pioneer tomorrow, and he is willing to die in front of the battle."

"Shut up! Jump the track! Sling the bull! At the end, Wang Zhaojing's voice had become extremely hoarse, but these words made Zhao Jin angry and raised his voice to stop drinking.
