Chapter 1438: The Mobilization of Wealth
On one side is the sea, although the offshore sea ice is thick, there are many gaps, and on the other side is the mountains, high and low, inconvenient to move, both of which are Jedi, it is impossible to pass, plus the snow that is not conducive to action, it is equivalent to the two sides after the war, it is either advance or retreat.
"According to the news of the spies, there are also artillery for siege on the Tartar side, and we can't hide it from others even if we have artillery, since the war has started, and the roads in and out of the camps of both sides have been cleared, then this battle will not stop, but will only fight until one side dies."
Chen Sheng said simply and directly, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan and others were also invited to come, from the beginning to the present, they have been listening with their mouths wide open, from saying not to underestimate the enemy, to now it is so simple and direct, it is not the way of military account deliberation at all.
"The infantry is the formation, the firearms are the arrows, the cavalry is the artillery, all the cavalry is concentrated on standby, listen to my orders, each independent battalion guards the camp and is on standby at any time, and the rest of the regiments are arrayed to meet the enemy, and the artillery is arranged to engage in battle according to the drill code!"
Everyone bowed down to receive the order again, Chen Sheng pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and summarized in a muffled voice: "Everyone, after this battle, there is no opponent in the master, and the great cause can be accomplished. ”
"Fearlessly step forward, die for the master!" The generals replied in unison.
Chen Sheng nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the generals took their places and led the team, but at this time, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan and the others did not make their own decisions, waiting for Chen Sheng's arrangement there.
"Stay in the Camp"
"General Chen, our enmity with the Tartars is as deep as the sea, and we are willing to be a pawn, rushing to the front, and would rather die!" Without waiting for Chen Jisheng to speak, Zhang Pan stepped forward and said angrily.
There are a total of five people who can come over to listen to the military generals of Dongjiang Town, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, outsiders look at Chen Sheng and order five people, but they don't know that the names of these five people are from Zhao Jinquan, and the Zhao family army is also a little confused, there are so many generals and important ministers of the Ming army, I don't know why Jin Ye values these inconspicuous marginal characters.
Zhang Pan expressed his position here, and several young people behind him all bowed down to ask for battle, but Chen Jisheng hesitated, and said with a wry smile: "I am willing to obey the general's arrangement." ”
As a general, there is not so much blood to boil, Chen Jisheng is older, and he understands more clearly than a few of them.
Chen Sheng smiled and nodded: "In the future, there will be a time when you will go into battle, but not this time, let's watch from the back and see how my Xuzhou boy kills the enemy!" ”
In the area of the formation cleaned up by Zhao Jiajun, the third regiment belonging to the first brigade had already set out first, and formed a team to guard there, and there was a heavy team of people and Zhuang who drove the carriages and horses out and began to build a watchtower.
There is no shortage of timber and timber in Liao Town, and enough grain has been prepared these days, and the timber is built and nailed tightly, and soon the watchtower of nearly three zhang has been built.
The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment now had the most important task of protecting the watchtower, and the four soldiers climbed up, waited on the top of the watchtower, and hoisted the prepared baggage and equipment with ropes, which contained mink jackets and hats, and equipment with flags of different colors.
Standing on a high place and being blown by the cold wind, of course, you have to wear thicker, as for the different colors of the flag, it is used to transmit the flag signal.
Looking at the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses on the opposite side, there are already horse teams that have begun to cruise out of the camp, and the marching formation is the most dangerous in wartime, on the one hand, they want to take the opportunity to sneak attack the enemy to take advantage, on the other hand, they are worried about being attacked by the other party, so they must take precautions in advance, and observe what the other party does by the way.
The Abundant Reinforced Regiment had two companies of muskets and four companies of spears from the camp, and they escorted one of the artillery pieces of the Zhao Army, the heavy artillery of twelve pounds and above would set up artillery positions separately, the nine-pounder guns had separate positions, and the six-pounder guns and the artillery below were separately configured, and the carts and horses dragging the six-pounder guns and ammunition were very close to the artillery they were hauling, and there were also special baggage companies equipped with special baggage companies to connect the artillery wagons and cattle and horses at any time and maneuver quickly.
During the artillery array, the cavalry company of the first division of the Zhao Jiajun tentatively began to leave the camp, cruising around the position to be on guard, and various infantry regiments began to open out of the formation.
The last to emerge from the camp was the Second Knights Regiment, who were surrounded by the military flags of Chen Sheng and the Provisional First Division, and the red Zhao characters on the military flags were waving in the wind.
When the banner stopped, the soldiers guarding the artillery emplacements and watchtowers began to return to their respective formations, and regiments were arranged in the most standard formations.
All but one of the muskete companies of each regiment were transferred to the front of the main formation, and in front of the pikemen they formed a loose wall of men, and the officers and non-commissioned officers began to line up and check the guns and ammunition in the hands of the soldiers.
Four regiments of the 1st Division lined up in the front, two regiments of the Abundant Reinforced Regiment in the rear, and six infantry regiments formed the main formation.
The artillery is in the front position on the right side of the front row, while the cavalry of the six knight companies and the second knight regiment are at the back of the artillery array, and the main general Chen Sheng is in the cavalry queue.
I don't know what Chen Sheng thinks, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and others were not left in the camp, but were taken out to participate in the battle, and they also received weapons and armor, but they were not charged forward, but arranged in a cavalry company.
The cavalry of the Zhao family army maintained a cold politeness towards Chen Jisheng and the others, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was monitoring, and this kind of defense made Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and others angry.
In such a big battle, it is natural to strangle the germination of all kinds of dangers, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan and others said that it was safe, but if something was tossed in the camp, when the time came, when the time came, the army would have an accident, and the army's heart would float, it would cause chaos, so it would be better to stare at it in the cavalry team, and if you want to make a move, just kill it directly.
"It's reasonable, if we change to our side, I'm afraid we will kill all the people first!"
Chatting and laughing, everyone didn't take it to heart, Chen Jisheng and the others were more concerned about this battle, no matter what, they didn't want the Zhao family army to lose, but seeing that the other party's army was several times the strength of the army here, no matter how confident they were in the Zhao family, they didn't dare to say anything to be sure.
"If we really lose this time, let's accompany them to fight to the death, although the world is big, the brothers have nowhere to go!"
"Don't talk about such unlucky."
After the senseless discussion, everyone still turned their attention back to the battle array itself, in their opinion, the battle of the Zhao family army was too auraless, too stiff and too dead.
"This is to take people as the city, let the enemy come over to attack the city and fight, and then kill and injure the enemy, you can't fight like this every time, what if the other party sees through it?" Some people couldn't help but sigh, and were immediately glared back by the surrounding cavalry of the Zhao family.
When the Zhao family army finished arranging the formation, the position quickly quieted down, everyone was preparing in a tense and orderly manner, at this time, from the direction of the Jianzhou Jurchen camp, there began to be drums, horns and noise, once tens of thousands of people moved, of course, the earth was shaken.
But compared with Zhao Jiajun's quietness, this kind of noise made Zhao Jiajun's mind more stable, and it became quieter for a while.
Chen Sheng looked up at the sky, and a glimmer of sunlight from the clouds in the early morning disappeared, or it was still cloudy.
"The Han dog is difficult, don't give up the lives of your slaves, this time you won, there are countless minions in the customs to you, if there is any mistake this time, the consequences don't need me to talk about."
Before the Jianzhou Jurchen army was dispatched, Amin and Zilharang called Mel Zhangjing and the generals at the level of staff to the tent and explained them straightforwardly.
By this time the battle had been fought, a lot of news had been hidden, and the news that was originally only known by a few people had become known to dozens of people and hundreds of people, and they knew how quickly the Great Khan and the Baylors were urging.
The leaders and leaders of the Blue Flag series have a plan in their hearts, knowing that their department is separated from several other flags after all, if there is any fault, the disposal of the back will be harsher than others, and the Zhenghongqi people and horses brought by Yue Tuo also have similar news, hearing that the Zhenghongqi of the Great Khan's lineage is also urged like this, everyone knows the seriousness of this matter, and no one dares to relax.
Don't look at the fact that Amin and Zilharang are still in charge, after this fight, maybe another Baylor will come over to settle the account and march method, and by then everything will be over.
"Lord Belle rest assured, even if the bones are broken, the minions will move forward bravely!" Some people took the lead, and others responded.
There was also a staff leader who was close to Amin and said: "Please rest assured, a sheep is a drive, a group of sheep is also a drive, and how many Han dogs are also pigs and sheep, let's kill them and come back!" ”
Someone joked like this, the atmosphere was finally a lot more relaxed, Amin was about to be angry as soon as his eyebrows were raised, but he was dragged by his younger brother Zilharang beside him, shook his head slightly, Amin endured it, forced out a little smile, knocked on his armor with his hand, and said in a muffled voice: "There are a lot of good things over there Hangou, this time we won, how can such armor have to be a set of one person, this is decent to wear, and it is very useful in the battle array." ”
Everyone looked up and looked at the armor that Amin was wearing, and during the fierce battle on Phi Dao, several sets of armor from Xuzhou were captured and sent to Shenyang as the most important trophies, to be shared by the Great Khan and several Baylors.
The high-quality wrought iron produced in the reverberatory furnace in Xuzhou, the plate forged by the hydraulic stamping machinery, and then connected by rivet ropes, is currently equipped in most of the brigades of the Zhao Army, but this kind of armor of Xuzhou's large-scale equipment has become a treasure in Jianzhou.
At present, the most reliable armor of Jianzhou Jurchen is cotton armor, which is cotton leather after continuous forging and compression, stacked piece by piece, inlaid with iron sheets, and connected with iron bubble nails.
