Chapter 55: Before the War

In the early morning, everything on the earth has just been sprinkled with a touch of gold by the rising sun, and a faint mist is shrouded in the mountains and forests, and the heaven and earth seem bleak and silent.

Suddenly, "One, one, two, three, four!" "Cries from far and near broke the silence of the early morning and echoed through the fields.

Meng Jiucheng ran at the front, and as time passed, the line gradually became longer and longer, and the slogans gradually became messy, and most of the soldiers were sweating and panting.

It is necessary to practice running, and there will be more time to fight for leg strength in the future! In any case, the main force of the future battle will be the infantry, how can you do it without practicing running?

As the distance stretched, the soldiers' breathing became more and more rapid. Whew, snort......" The sound of crazy gasps filled the ears for a while, and it was endless; And the queue has become sparse, almost double the length of the queue at the beginning.

Because of the relationship between roads and means of transportation at that time, most of the common people had a good pair of foot strength, and they basically relied on steps to work, travel, catch up with the market, etc. Therefore, although the troops can reach the current level, although they still have to be improved, it also makes Meng Jiucheng more satisfied.

Finally returned to the barracks, and the soldiers sat on the ground as if they had seen Guanyin Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, most of them were panting and wiping their sweat, and they could finally be freed.

When the people came back almost now, Meng Jiucheng roared loudly: "Look at your current appearance, a group of straw bales, bear eggs, you are still not gentlemen, my army only needs warriors, don't breed, this kind of training will be held every day in the future, give you fifteen days, if anyone can't endure hardship, can't stand the crime, get me out of the barracks as soon as possible, where do you come from, do you understand?" ”

At this time, Sanming commanded someone to bring up a steaming meal.

Ignoring the warriors' staring at the meal, their eyes like wolves. Meng Jiucheng continued to roar: "Fifteen days later, an all-army contest will be held to openly select officers at all levels. Now - open the meal. ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who were so tired that they immediately screamed and rushed to the food class, but they were scolded by the officers and soldiers who maintained order, "Queue, queue, how many times have I been taught, I don't have a long memory." If you rob the donkey day again, you will be hungry for a meal. ”

Meng Jiucheng looked at it coldly for a while, the veterans were all abiding by the rules, and the recruits were gradually adapting to the scolding, so they walked to the side and lined up to eat.

Although it is said that officers and soldiers should be equal, it cannot be absolute equality. In terms of food, there are still some differences between officers and soldiers. This was in line with the hierarchical concept of the time, and it also had a certain motivational effect.

The guy in front of him, Meng Jiucheng, said that he was not in a hurry, but he also scolded Qiao E for having no eyes, and he stood like a black tower, and he didn't know how to give way to himself, the highest official.

According to intelligence, at noon today, the enemy may drive. Of course, it is not excluded that it will be delayed and it will be a little later.

Meng Jiucheng was already prepared, the morning run was just routine training, and the amount of exercise was greatly reduced. On the surface, the Red Turban Army did not look at the enemy at all, and while stabilizing the morale of the army, it also showed strong self-confidence.

However, the battle plan has been adjusted again. Now that the enemy's main force is all out and defeated in one battle, all that remains is to destroy the withering and decay and sweep the periphery. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng decided to play simple, using the most certain tactics - blocking the head, ambushing, and breaking the tail, and attacking from all sides.

Mu Yi led a thousand men and horses to set off quietly before dawn with dry food, went to the ambush site to arrange, and waited in concealment, and when he saw the wolf smoke signal, he hurriedly entered and attacked, cut off the enemy's retreat, and launched a siege.

And Meng Jiucheng's side is just for show, although the troops are not many, but they can rely on the existing positions to fight, use heavy weapons, kill and injure the enemy and attract the enemy's attention, and create more favorable conditions for Mu Yi's siege.

In other words, Meng Jiucheng felt that although the weapons he currently possessed and trebuchets and pine cannons in his hands were sharp, they were still unable to win in field battles, especially in the face of the Jin and Mongol armies, which had a large number of cavalry. Therefore, he did not dare to be arrogant because he had these weapons.

After receiving the meal, Meng Jiucheng avoided Qiao E, who was terrified, and returned to the tent, thinking while eating.

There is no big problem in defeating Zhou Gui, but how Liu Wenzheng and Liu Tingyu will react, Meng Jiucheng has already thought about it, but he is not very sure.

Meng Jiucheng's judgment relied on the general trend of history, and speculated on the minds of these guys who took advantage of the chaos. Liu Wenzheng and Zhou Gui are similar, belonging to local tyrants and landlords who unite with each other and organize armed forces in order to protect themselves.

Based on this idea, it is natural to put the safety of family and property first, and there is little ambition, let alone firmness. They all belong to the grass on the wall, and if they want to meet the source left and right, they will rebel uncertainly, so they will not dare to make a big noise.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although the Jin Army's counterattack has won repeatedly, it is still too early to say that the defeat of the Red Jacket Army has been decided. Meng Jiucheng thinks that Liu Wen doesn't want to act rashly, he wants to wait and see the wind, and then think about taking the opportunity to take advantage. Therefore, for the rise of Meng Jiucheng, his most likely countermeasure is to win over and prevent it, just like for Wednesday.

As for Liu Tingyu, the target may be larger, that is, the control of the entire county. In the same way, he was also watching the victory or defeat of the Jin army and the red jacket army, so as to decide on the action.

Moreover, although it was not the main force and elite that he sent to help, his strength was also affected to a certain extent. If he wants to say anything in this county in the future, or even get an official and a half position from the Jin Dynasty by virtue of his strength, he will not easily move troops.

In fact, this is also an important factor for Meng Jiucheng to dare to take action at this time. Everyone hopes to be calm and wait for the situation to become clearer, and there will not be much reaction to Meng Jiucheng's replacement of Zhou Gui.

Of course, Meng Jiucheng also had to show a certain attitude, making them think that Meng Jiucheng was forced to be helpless, so he fought with Zhou Guihuo, and had no intention of challenging other forces.

And Meng Jiucheng only needs a buffer time of one to two months, even if Liu Wenzheng and Liu Tingyu are not enemies of him, he will act again. This is the difference between vision and ideals, Meng Jiucheng will not be satisfied with a few towns, nor will he be satisfied with one or two counties, let alone the two ends of the first rat, his steps forward are unswerving.

After Meng Jiucheng finished eating, he also re-read his thoughts, and felt that his grasp was still quite large, so he leaned back on the chair obliquely, closed his eyes and recuperated. It wasn't until the guard Han Changsheng came in to report that he got up and put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and led the team to set off.
