Chapter 4: The New King (13)
In front of the battalion of the Fifth Division, it was no longer an ordinary chaos, but now it looked like a battlefield at all, a battlefield of cold weapons. Because the military department Shangmaang and the British duke were here, the machine guns were confiscated by the British duke's commander, so the soldiers on both sides, wielding sapper shovels and rifles with bayonets, were fighting each other.
Relatively speaking, the soldiers of the second division of the Ming Dynasty are much more sophisticated, after all, they were originally the foundation of Yang Shou for several years, although the number of people is at a disadvantage, but the use of the three-person combat team is extremely skillful, about three or four hundred people, basically the offensive tactical formation of the company can be deployed, the three companies have a combat formation to advance from three aspects, and there are about seventy or eighty people as reserves, a very standard tactical distribution.
On the other hand, the Fifth Division is much worse, basically relying on personal bravery to fight, judging from the scene, after the beginning of the attack, the Second Division appeared extremely silent, and the Fifth Division's abuse, shouting, one after another, but on the whole scene, the advantage of the Second Division, even a person who does not understand military affairs at all, can see that they have driven from 500 meters outside the Yuanmen, advanced to about 50 meters away from the Yuanmen, the sentry at the gate of the Fifth Division, their faces were extremely frightened, they held the rifles in their hands in a panic, and wanted to shoot, But they didn't dare to shoot, because there were only ten people at the gate, and each of them had only two empty rounds and three live ammunition in their guns.
On this four or five hundred meters of the road, at least [more than three hundred soldiers of the Fifth Division have been knocked down, most of them have lost their breath, and dozens of others, still tossing and moaning that the Second Division also has wounded. But their reserves took care of the wounded very well. If it's a battle, win. It must belong to the side of the 2nd Division, although they only have three or four hundred men, and the 5th Division is constantly pouring out soldiers to join the battle group, this is meaningless, the 5th Division cannot form a numerical advantage in the situation at all, no matter how many robes they pour into, they are all divided in the confusion by the silent soldiers of the 2nd Division, and then annihilated and dispersed. It's just a matter of time.
At this moment, the sound of the bull's horn sounded.
Melodious horns, blood-colored battle flags.
"The boy of the grassland, the flag of Nayan, is here!" Jeddah's rugged voice, through the guò tin horn, roared out of an invincible momentum; And the fat man Wen stood on horseback and shouted loudly, "Rongcheng Academy." Named! ”
They shouted three times with a loud voice, and the first pulled out of the camp of the second division, about three or four hundred men on horseback, which was the cavalry battalion of the division headquarters; The second battalion rushed out of the battalions of the second and fifth divisions. There were more than 100 people, and they were the sergeant majors of the cavalry regiments in these two divisions, all of whom were from the grassland.
And the students of Rongcheng College are relatively speaking. The second division was a little larger, with more than 100 men; The fifth division is less. There were only about fifty people.
They rallied in front of the blood-red battle flag.
Cao Jixiang singled out more than a dozen of them and said to Ding Yi: "This is from the war group to gather." ”
Ding Yi nodded to them gently and said, "You five." It's from the steppe, right? The three of you should be students of the Wuzhou Branch; And the four of you are students of the Beijing Normal Branch; The two of you should be from the headquarters of Rongcheng. I'm not wrong, right? Very well, I remember each and every one of you, please tell me, Ding someone, what is there to be sorry for you? ”
"Nayan, I'm sorry for you!" The soldier, who was obviously from the grassland, knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Yi, drew his bayonet, and wiped it into his throat.
It's just that Cao Jixiang is on the side, where can he kill himself? On the battle and strength, Cao Jixiang is not good at being a well-trained new army, but he is a neat and neat man, and he gives the bayonet to him with a clean and neat sword: "Is the young master teaching you to die?" Or do you commit suicide in fear of sin? ”
Ding Yi said to Cao Jixiang immediately: "Old Cao, draw a circle here." Fang said to the fourteen people, "If you feel that someone is sorry for you, you have to use death to accuse, and you can wait for yourself; If someone Ding doesn't feel sorry for you, this circle is confined, go in first and stay. ”
In the fight just now, the man who didn't shed a single tear burst into tears, and then one by one, walked into the circle that was temporarily drawn.
Ding Yi nodded at Chen San, and the latter yelled: "Mr. has an order, all of them have it, abandon the weapon and stand upright!" Anyone who does not obey the military order will be killed on the spot! ”
Of the soldiers of the Fifth Division, about 50 people fled into the camp, the others waited, 4 or 500 people abandoned their weapons and stood upright, and among the others, some wanted to resist, and some threw down their weapons and kowtowed to beg for mercy; The three or four hundred men of the second division threw down what they were in hand very consistently, straightened their waists, and stood in a standard military posture.
"Rujin, Rujin! No! Ma Ang was sweating profusely, and his long beard ran over in a mess, "No, I can't kill you like this, I'm afraid it will be coaxed!" The British Duke Zhang Mao followed behind Maang in silence, bowing his head and not saying a word.
Ding Yi nodded to Ma Ang, but looked back at Chen San and said, "Execution." ”
Ci is not in charge of the troops, Ding Yi can worry about the dozens of soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment of the Rong First Division; But there is no mercy for these rebels in front of him. Hundreds of cavalry were in front, and more than 100 officers from Rongcheng Academy were behind with guns, and they killed them like this, but those who did not abandon their weapons and stand upright, slashed with horses, and left no one behind.
The sentry at the gate of the Fifth Division camp was frightened and incontinent by three or four people on the spot, and one was even scared to death.
More than 300 people, all of them were cut down, all soldiers of the Fifth Division.
"The fifty-seven people who fled into the camp of the Fifth Division just now are limited to one stick of incense and come out to die, otherwise the Fifth Division will be regarded as a rebellion." Chen San said coldly to the commander and chief of staff of the Fifth Division, this is his true face, on the grassland, he can stop Chen San from crying at night.
It's just that by Ding Yi's side, he retracted his fangs.
Fifty-seven people, in the face of the threat of death, no one dared to harbor them, and they were soon escorted out of front of the gate and beheaded one by one.
There is still an old mother in the family, what must be changed in the future, and what spares life, it makes no sense at all.
"Get out of the confinement room, I'll settle this account with you slowly, by the way, what about the commander of the second division?" Ding Yi said coldly to the British Duke Zhang Mao.
The British Duke Zhang Mao raised his head with difficulty and said, "Sir, I went to Tianjin on the ninth day of the first month, it's none of his business......
He didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he really pulled out Ding Yi's anger, jumped off the horse and pulled the British duke's collar, and pressed his face into the pool of blood of those dead soldiers: "It's none of his business? And you will bring the soldiers like this? People come to be soldiers, and it is their duty to die on the battlefield, so what is the matter of dying here? Killed with the robe, there were actually three or four hundred people, who were fucking disobeyed the military order and were killed! You sue me, what is the duty of a soldier? ”
"It is our duty to obey orders." British Gong Zhang Mao replied bitterly.
"You know? But what about these people? Why don't these people know to obey orders? What the fuck is the soldier you bringed? When Yang Weizhen was in Beijing, where did such a thing happen? As soon as Ding said that the fire was rising, he whipped between the waist and ribs of the British duke, kicking him far away, "Get out of the confinement, don't let me see you!" lest I can't help but kill you! Get lost! ”
"Lao Cao, go to Tianjin and get Qian Chujiu back!"
"Yes, young master, the old slave will do it."
Ding Yi was very angry, a soldier, either wearing a uniform and a military weapon, he was a soldier.
Obedience is one of the most basic concepts.
Of the soldiers present, all seven or eight hundred were restrained, and Chen San was arranging places to detain these soldiers.
Ma Ang persuaded Ding Yi: "Rujin, these soldiers still obey orders, forget it, the law does not blame the public, reprimand, and punish some hard labor." "Don't think it's a joke, the law is really a feature of this era. Not to mention the armed fight, it is a rebellion, as long as it is powerful enough, the court will also negotiate the conditions, and after they surrender, they will no longer ask about their previous crimes.
What's more important is that the arms fighting of these soldiers did not affect the interests of people outside the army, not even disturbing the people, let alone the interests of the scholar class, so Ma Ang felt that this was a state similar to the camp roar, and it would be good to calm down, if it was too strict, it would be very bad if other soldiers were worried that something would happen to them again.
These sedan chairs were escorted by the entourage of the brigade, coming from afar, Ding Yi looked at it, and said to Ma Ang: "Da Sima, I'm afraid it's Shoufu coming, look at Shoufu's side, what kind of charter is it." The reason why the topic was diverted was that Ding Yi didn't intend to settle down like this at all.
For Ding Yi, this is not a trivial matter.
And after Li Xian came over, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw hundreds of corpses lying there: "Why is this so?" ”
When he listened to Ma Ang's account and knew that most of these hundreds of corpses were cut down by Ding Yi because he did not obey the military order, he also shook his head and said: "If you are like Jin, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the water is clear and there are no fish!" ”
"Yes, but the army should be the exception, and the troops who can't even obey orders, I think, are just a waste of military spending."
Ding Yiqiang suppressed his anger and said to Li Xian: "What is the significance of such an army? ”
"With such an army, we still expect to go to war with the Ottomans? It's better to strengthen the defense, don't have another one on the grassland, and then come to knock on the pass! ”
However, in front of Li Xian, Ding Yi still didn't feel very good, so he just diverted the conversation and asked, "The eldest brother went to Donghua Gate, what happened to the dragon rider guard?" ”
Li Xian sighed, shook his head and said: "It's okay over there, it is said that it is a daily training, and I read the regulations of their training for my brother, and it is clearly listed on it, but it is for my brother." ”
"No, they weren't telling the truth." This can be hidden from Li Xian, but he can't hide it from Ding, who was born as a soldier king, even if he hasn't asked yet, he knows intuitively that it is definitely not so simple. (To be continued......) R1292
