Although we have to bear the cost of relatively large casualties in training troops in actual combat, the results are absolutely unaffordable. And Li Xiang's purpose was to train the troops, not really rely on these soldiers to repel the Mongols. Therefore, after the goal was achieved, he took advantage of the fact that the commander of the Mongol army was carelessly approaching the city wall, suddenly jumped down from the city wall, and in front of tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies, threw a spear from a distance, killing him in one fell swoop.

The Mongols are no longer the time to fight the world, the commander is killed, and all the soldiers under him have to be buried together, so if the boss is killed, the subordinates will die anyway, and they will desperately take revenge. Now this article has long been discontinued, and although it has not been explicitly repealed, it has long been forgotten. Therefore, as soon as the highest officer died, the morale of the rest of the Mongolian officers and soldiers suddenly plummeted and they immediately withdrew.

The Mongols were temporarily repelled from the encirclement and suppression, although it was only a small victory, and the people in the city also celebrated happily. If you can repel the Mongols once, you can repel them a second and third time...... This shows that the Mongols were not invincible, and they were still very promising.

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, who went out to expand their territory, hurried back. Originally, they thought that they were strange soldiers and could play a decisive role, but they didn't expect that before they came back, Li Xiang would defeat the Mongols. This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little disappointed, and he proposed a night attack. Xu Da and the others also felt that the Mongols had just lost their commander during the day, and at this time, the night attack would definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

Everyone said so, Li Xiang was also as good as a stream, and at the third watch, he led the army out of the city. However, the Mongols were able to establish a huge empire across the Eurasian continent, which was naturally not given in vain, and they had long expected that they might be attacked at night, and they were very well guarded, and Li Xiang and them were discovered three miles away.

Now that it has been discovered, Li Xiang immediately changed the sneak attack to a strong attack. Combine the armies that were originally divided into four raids into two teams. Attack from the left and right sides. Li Xiang himself rode a blue-maned horse, holding a large gun, and rushed to the front first. When approaching the camp of the Mongolian army, he directly shot the wall of the wall, and suddenly broke through a gap. Stormed the Mongolian military camp, and he went on a killing spree. A gun danced countless gun shadows, and everywhere he went, everyone turned on his back, and no one could stop him for a moment!

With Li Xiang opening the way in front, the rebels who followed him immediately swarmed in, turning the Mongolian military camp into a mess. As a last resort, the Mongols had to bring in troops from elsewhere. But the troops were concentrated around Li Xiang, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others, who attacked from the other side, encountered much less resistance, and soon broke through the wall and entered the camp. Although the number of soldiers and horses on both sides was far less than that of the Mongols. But scurrying around in the dark made it impossible for the Mongols to figure out how many enemies there were, and the supreme commander had just died, and there was no unified command, which made it even more chaotic.

The Mongol army, which had long been demoralized, fought for half an hour, and I don't know who was the first to escape. One took the lead, and the others followed. Seeing some of his comrades running away was an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the officers and men who were fighting. Soon there was a chain reaction, from a small rout to a big one. Like an avalanche, it was out of control.

At this point, all that's left is to hunt down. Li Xiang stopped, watching his subordinates pass by like the wind, they all screamed excitedly, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Although this scene is nothing to him at all, he has seen a lot more scenes than this. But the feeling is different. In the past, he was a bystander, at most an assistant, and the only time he commanded an army was when he crossed into Loki, and it was just a chaotic battle, and he didn't need to command it at all.

This time, it was a battle that he planned, commanded, and executed. The feeling that tens of thousands of lives were in his hands made him both intoxicated and terrified. Although it feels good to be in power, as long as he has the slightest mistake, it will lead to the sense of responsibility that many people will die, and it also makes him feel heavy, making him walk on thin ice all the time.

Although the Mongols were defeated, because most of them were cavalry, they fled quickly, and although Zhu Yuanzhang and others tried their best to chase and kill, they did not get too many results. But it was a great victory, and when they returned to the city, the people spontaneously welcomed them and celebrated their victory in the war.

The victory was a victory, but there were also many people who died in this battle, thousands of dead, more than 400 wounded, and more than 2,000 wounded. If it weren't for the treatment, I was afraid that more than half of these injured people would die. Therefore, after Li Xiang returned to the city, he did not hold any celebration party, but devoted himself to treating the disease and saving people. He had studied medical skills with Hu Qingniu for so long, and it came in handy at this time, and together with other doctors, he gave medicine and bandaged the wounded. This made the rebel soldiers who regarded him as a god extremely moved, and some even cried and swore to follow him to the end and never regret it.

There were also soldiers who died in battle, and Li Xiang did not treat them badly, and transferred a large part of the property obtained from looting large households as a pension and sent it to their homes one by one, so that the families of the fallen soldiers would not be in trouble because of the loss of a strong laborer.

After these two moves, the morale of the army and the people were all reined, coupled with the military regulations set by Li Xiang in accordance with the three disciplines and eight points of attention, so that the people of the entire Fengyang Mansion praised him. With the passage of time, it has even spread to other places, making many people yearn for it, and there is an endless stream of heroes who come to join it.

After finally being busy for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to give their rebel army a name, not to mention that the king is handsome, at least he has to be a general, right? Otherwise, when others talk about them, they don't even know what to call them.

It's a good thing to have a name, but Li Xiang proposed to let them think about it, and he also sent Ji Xiaofu and them to Guangmingding.

This decision surprised everyone else, and they all spoke up to keep him, and even Zhu Yuanzhang was very sincere in wanting him to stay. Tossed such a big stall all of a sudden, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was ambitious, he knew that he couldn't afford such a heavy burden at this time. The most important thing is that now the common people and the army are only subordinate to Li Xiang alone, and others take his place, and command is a big problem. If it fails because of poor command, the net worth and life can be put into it.

But Li Xiang has made up his mind, and he must go to Guangming Ding to pave the way for the future competition for the position of sect leader. Although it is impossible to do it alone without the Mingjiao, why not use it if you can use the power of the Mingjiao? It would be better if the Mongols could be driven out of the Central Plains one day earlier.

Of course, if he goes to Guangmingding, he won't come back, now is not the time to fight for the position of the leader of Mingjiao, the six major factions will not besiege Guangmingding, and will not force Mingjiao to the point of exhaustion, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, Wusanren, Wuxingqi, these people, can serve him a little kid?

So he planned to send Ji Xiaofu and Yang Buregret back and continue to run his own forces. When the six major factions besiege the Guangming Peak, Yang Xiao will inevitably summon all the Ming Sect members to come back to help, and it will not be too late to take the position of the sect leader when the time comes.

Hearing Li Xiang say this, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were relieved. I wanted to persuade Li Xiang to let others send Ji Xiaofu's mother and daughter for him, but Li Xiang had already made up his mind, and they had no choice but to obey.

But I didn't expect that here in Ji Xiaofu, Li Xiang touched the nail again. Originally, Ji Xiaofu defected from the division, and had nowhere to go with a child, and lived a poor life, and was persuaded by Li Xiangyi, saying that the exterminator wanted to clean up the portal, and he could only go to Yang Xiao. But now that Li Xiang has tossed out a piece of land and his career is thriving, Ji Xiaofu feels that he can live well here, so he doesn't have to go to Yang Xiao.

The most important thing is that although Ji Xiaofu fell in love with Yang Xiao, she also turned her back on her master and Yin Liting because of him, and it was inevitable that she also had a feeling of resentment towards him, so she never thought of going to him before. Even if he was persuaded by Li Xiang, he was still a little reluctant in his heart. Now that I have other options, I am even more reluctant to go.

Li Xiang didn't expect that he tossed around on a whim, and he actually found himself in trouble. In desperation, Li Xiang had no choice but to change his mind and asked Ji Xiaofu to write a letter to Yang Xiao, telling him the current situation of their mother and daughter, and asking him to give some support to the rebels here. You must know that Li Xiang's current subordinates, in addition to the dead and crippled in battle, still have four or five thousand men and horses, and the weapon they use is only a spear with an iron tip at the front of a stick. There is also the problem of food, although the big households get a lot, but they can only solve the urgent need, the drought is still continuing, and in order to feed the people in the areas under their jurisdiction, it is necessary to buy grain from outside. Where can I buy food, I have to help Mingjiao. Therefore, it is necessary to befriend Yang Xiao.

After telling Ji Xiaofu for a long time, she agreed to write this letter to Yang Xiao. After writing it, Li Xiang asked Zhu Yuanzhang to send someone to Guangmingding.

Since he is gone, the question of naming their rebel army has been raised again. After discussing for a long time, everyone finally decided to be a "Dingshi Army", which means to stabilize the world. And Li Xiang, the big leader, has become a "general of the world".

With the name in hand, how to design the organization-organization structure is also on the agenda. Zhu Yuanzhang Most of them haven't read much, and they don't know what the government should look like, so it's up to Li Xiang to decide.

There is no need to worry about the political system or anything, but what is anxious is the establishment of the army. When Li Xiang was training recruits before, he improved the army with reference to the ancient establishment. Ten people are a fire, and a fire is set to be long; Five fires are a team, with a principal and deputy captain; The five teams are a company, with a principal and deputy company commander; The two teams are one battalion, with a chief and deputy battalion commanders. The first battalion is 500 people, and the battalion is usually used as a unit for activities and training. In wartime, five battalions are one regiment, two regiments are one brigade, and two brigades are one division. The first division was exactly 10,000 men and was commanded by a temporarily assigned general.

Now it is time to set up a superstructure, and Li Xiang has set up a general staff department, a general logistics department, and a military intelligence department in the general's palace. Zhu Yuanzhang and others were all incorporated into these departments and did not directly lead the troops. In this way, the opportunities for his generals to support their own troops are greatly reduced. (To be continued.) )
