Chapter 443: Across the River
The camping time is troublesome, even if the Ming army does not have much baggage, but after all, it is an army of more than 70,000 horses, and it takes a lot of time to set up tents, not to mention that they also have a routine rule that the camp must have a cross barbed wire fence as the first protective barrier!
Almost all of the recruits who are responsible for camping and burying piles and pulling nets are recruits, in fact, they are the surrendered thief army that was just added a few days ago, as if they have a common tacit understanding, when they set up camp, the battalion bosses will send these newcomers out to work, and they are familiar with the new life!
The red lady is really busy, more than 70,000 people need to be taken care of by her, not including taking care of some wounded, but she has hundreds of people on hand, and it is very difficult to deal with so many things! Li Yan saw the pain in her eyes, and said several times that she would go back and ask Lu Wanduo to give her some additional manpower, but she was rejected by the red lady! Claim that I enjoy this busyness, fulfillment and happiness, and most importantly, I am mentally grounded! When I really can't hold it, I will take the initiative to ask for it! After all, she felt that compared with Lu Wang's relationship, Li Yan and Lu Wang were much more familiar!
The logistics are busy making fires and cooking, the recruits are busy camping, and the soldiers who don't have to work are not idle, they belong to the combatants, and they must always be on guard along the river, which is also a death order from above, wartime, war zone, can fight at any time!
The so-called above is the battalion bosses, they are now gathered in Li Qingshan's tent to chat and brag, listen to him talk about fighting with the Qing army, one by one listened very seriously, the expressions on their faces are very solemn, after all, the people here even including the original officers and soldiers almost did not have a deal with the Qing army, the only thing is that Huang Degong, who grew up in the border army, has this experience!
Almost at the same time as Huang Degong, who was ten miles away behind him, everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard that the Qing army had arrived, and then quickly ran out of the tent, one by one like a lynx rushed up to the watchtower that had been built a long time ago, and began to scan due north with the equipped telescope!
There are not many people. Nearly 10,000! But the cavalry, all the aura, very large, violent, murderous, made the faces of the young generals under Lu Wang very solemn, looked at each other a few times, and no one spoke! This just shows one thing, pose is important! According to the posture of the 10,000 cavalry of the Qing army, they have already seen a lot of things that are different from their original opponents! That is, this opponent is very difficult!
The atmosphere was very oppressive, and not only the leaders felt oppressed. Even the ordinary Ming soldiers along the coast felt the sense of oppression from the dark clouds, and they were a little out of breath! Separated by a river more than ten meters wide, the galloping momentum of the Qing army can really scare many people! It can be seen that the soldiers are very nervous!
If Lu Wang was in the camp at the moment, he would definitely call Li Qingshan and Ai Shuangshuang to a place where no one was, close the door, and then beat him with his head and face: "Let you disturb the morale of the army!" "You must know that after the Ming army cowardly fought the Qing army in the first few years, the Qing army faced the same cowardice in the face of the Eight-Nation Alliance!
And there is already this psychological shadow, coupled with Li Qingshan's foaming mouth to preach how brave and good the Qing army is, how awesome it is, the original meaning is just to set off himself to be more awesome. I didn't expect to scare his colleagues softly!
The aura of the Qing army was too strong, which made the Ming army along the coast a little panicked, and even Li Qingshan and the others did not slow down for a while, because they couldn't be sure whether the Qing army only came today with these 10,000 horses or that it was just a vanguard. The main force is behind!
Huang Degong sneered at the corner of his mouth on the city wall, staring at the movement by the river with a telescope: "A group of cowards! ”
"Uncle, let's hurry over, in case we get done!" Xu Wuhou was also a little flustered, after all, the Qing army had admired the name for a long time. I'm going to see you today, and I'm excited to think about it!
"I can't do it!" Huang Degong snorted,
"How?" Xu Wuhou asked sideways
"If you take someone into a fight. Panting and running to the opponent's territory, and suddenly finding that the opponent has a lot more people than you, will you do it immediately? Huang Degong's words made Xu Wuhou understand in seconds, and he couldn't help laughing, "Then naturally not, at least take a look and then say, if you fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you have to wait for help!" ”
"That's the reason", Huang Degong smiled slightly: "You should eat, you should drink, you can't fight today, even if the main force of the Qing army comes tomorrow, you won't fight, this is a big army battle, pay attention to arranging troops, open up the posture and put on the scene, and then you will find the weakness of the other party to move, you see how long we have been facing off against the thieves in Nanyang, with your eldest brother's ability, you can dig out your mind to confuse the thief army, just wait for the time you enter the mountain!" ”
Xu Wuhou nodded after hearing this: "According to what Uncle said, we have survived some of them in this small broken city, and it looks like the New Year is going to be here!" ”
"Not accurate", Huang Degong laughed: "Marching to fight, arranging troops to see the opponent, fighting thieves in Nanyang, Li Zicheng is guarding the mountain, we are afraid that he will escape, so we can only play with him carefully, but the Qing army is different, they can't defend the city, and they are not experts in attacking the city, but they are ancestors in the field!" As he spoke, he glanced back to the north, "Just look at their momentum, that's a kind of confidence!" We're much worse than them in the field! ”
"Uncle Huang, according to what you said, the Qing army is invincible in the field, and it is not possible to attack the city, so we don't want to defend Jingzhou and play a long war with them! Isn't that the same as saying it in vain? "Xu Wuhou is a little frustrated, he is a young man, he has a strong blood, and he likes that kind of hard-to-hard and bloody play, instead of guarding the nest behind closed doors, which is too sloppy!
"Under normal circumstances, it is the best way to attack the Qing army by defending, and now it seems that your eldest brother does not plan to play like this! Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the people along the way evacuate and get that......"
"Solid wall clearing"! Xu Wuhou hurriedly counted!
"Yes, Jianbi Qingye, if he only plans to defend Jingzhou here, then there is no need to clear some areas of Jinan Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion as well, which shows that your eldest brother definitely has a trick! There's no hurry, we'll know when he comes back! "Huang Degong has great confidence in Rwan!
"Uncle Huang, I have a question, I don't know if to ask", Xu Wuhou suddenly looked up at Huang Degong, his expression was very puzzled!
"Ask, what's not to ask!" Huang Degong shrugged his shoulders very easily!
"Then don't be angry!" Xu Wuhou was a little worried!
"I'm not as careful as a girl, ask!" Huang Degong was also curious about what questions Xu Wuhou wanted to ask
"My eldest brother has always said that you are a rough goods, but now you are actually analyzing the head of the Tao, Uncle Huang, are you a rough goods?" Xu Wuhou's face was looking forward to it!
"Roll the calves!" Huang Degong's angry roar came from the city wall!
The strong appearance of the Qing army. The Ming army was a little flustered, almost everyone stopped their work, and looked at the north bank of the Huan River with a slightly frightened face, they couldn't see exactly how many people and horses the Qing army was standing on, they only felt that the formation of thousands of troops and horses was very large, and at this time, Li Qingshan, who was on the watchtower, also knew in his heart that it was not a big deal today, but he was talking about something in a whisper, thus ignoring the matter of stabilizing the army's heart!
Stabilizing the morale of the army is a very important thing, and at this time, a person who can calm the field is needed to shout: "We can do it!" "Usually the person who can hold the scene is a hero. Holding a golden hoop stick, stepping on the seven-colored clouds............ Boom boom, just when the army was panicking, the roar of the engine sounded in the camp of the Ming Army.
Just when everyone was in amazement, Wang Chao led his chariot company and rushed out of the camp with a roar, and more than 30 chariots went straight to the river, followed by more than 200 people from the personal guard company! Sure enough, at the critical moment, it's still a biological!
The chariot company drove the car directly along the ice to the north bank of the Huan River, and the two hundred guards who followed it also quickly landed on the shore. Then the high-powered horn on the car shouted: Ten miles back! Ten miles back, dare to take a step forward and let you wait for the head to cut off the blood flow!
"Awesome!" Li Qingshan and Zheng Hong, who were standing on the watchtower, couldn't help but applaud: "The people who guard are awesome!" ”
"It's too arrogant, it's too arrogant, hundreds of people dare to shout at tens of thousands of people." He Renlong smiled bitterly, and his head shook like a rattle!
"You only look at the hundreds of people, don't look at what guys they have in their hands!" Gao Jie held the binoculars and looked at it, with an excited face: "Lao Tzu will have a team of people with such equipment in the future." The whole world is sideways! ”
"Look at your little bit of interest", Zhu Yu, who had been silent, said: "Master Hou is flying now!" The crowd laughed!
Cobusau was a little dizzy, a little crying, laughing and a little panicked! 10,000 iron horsemen came from Fucheng and killed them mightily. Along the way, I was going to go crazy to buy, but unfortunately there were signs hanging everywhere to suspend business, and even a salesman could not be found, and there was nowhere to vent his blood, so he had to encourage the soldiers. Seeing that there were at least 100,000 troops stationed by the river waiting for him in front of him, not to mention others at that moment, even the war horses under his crotch were scared!
Confused! How could there be so many men and horses waiting here in the Ming army, this was Cobusau's first question, but soon his face showed a look of disdain, how about the 100,000 army, whether he has more than he wants, 30,000, or even 20,000, he is sure to win! The combat power of the Ming army in the Central Plains is really vulnerable!
However, after all, the newcomer has just arrived, and the time and place are favorable, and there is no slight advantage for the time being, so he is thinking about finding a place to camp first and take a good look, while asking people to quickly return to Fucheng to inform the big leader, and by the way, he is sending a helper to come over and eat this big meat!
It is good to have confidence, but you can't be blind, and Cobusau did a good job of this, perhaps because he had learned to be cautious in the face of the unobstructed river, although he disdained the large number of people on the other side, but still had no intention of crossing the river.
Two miles away from the riverbank, he was trying to find a place to camp, but suddenly he saw dozens of big monsters rushing from the river, accompanied by angry roars, and hundreds of people following behind the monsters...... Whatareyou me! Cobusso's mind is full of question marks!
Before the last point of the question mark was played, the Qing army team was in chaos, and no one expected that the monster on the other side would still speak human words, and the voice was so loud that the words clearly came to the root of the ear, in short, let yourself get away!
This scene made Cobussuo shocked and annoyed, Lao Tzu's nearly 10,000 troops were afraid of a few of your hairy monsters, and immediately ordered thousands of soldiers to go immediately to see what was going on!
The reply was very fast, and it was a bloody reality, his team of 1,000 people had just entered the monster more than 200 meters away, and those monsters began to launch, and then raged against this cavalry who did not know whether to live or die, and more importantly, Cobusau heard a familiar voice, gunshots! Immediately order the forward to withdraw the troops and temporarily retreat five miles! He is not afraid, but feels that the situation is unclear, and it is not appropriate to expand the battle situation for the time being, if you go all out on your side to engage in that monster squad, the officers and soldiers across the river will naturally not stand idly by, and it will become a big scene in an instant, although he is arrogant, he can't blindly fight 10,000 to 100,000!
Of course, he will not be scared away by the large number of officers and soldiers, the reason is very simple, the Ming army has never taken the initiative to attack, it belongs to the kind of cowardice that you slap your face and slap, you will block it, and you will fight back after slapping it, and even in most cases, you will be scared away after a few calls.
"Female horse's! Miss a chance to grow a face! Gao Jie stood on the watchtower and smashed a fist hatefully, and Zhu Yujian next to him laughed: "People's guards have guns and cars, and it is trivial to abuse a team of thousands of people, what kind of face can you look like, the face that is pumped!" ”
"You don't understand, although I don't have a gun or a car, I have a cannon! The artillery given by the Hou Ye hasn't been fired once yet! Gao Jie's words shocked everyone, and his face showed envy, you are awesome!
"Cut, one artillery dares to pick tens of thousands of cavalry? What a face, how daring? "He Renlong just can't look down on the limelight now, and he can't help but be sarcastic!
"Humph! It's better than nothing! "Gao Jie is not good at stubble!" I have more than 20,000 people in the high battalion, plus an artillery, and the Qing army is really not afraid of him! ”
"Anyone can brag, go up and talk about it......" He Renlong rolled his eyes! Tian Jianxiu next to him couldn't help but reach out and pull him! He Renlong was silent!
"No one needs to blow it, when the Hou Ye orders another day, let's all pull it out and slip around, and see if it's your four bulls or my high camp cowardice!" After all, He Renlong was his boss before, and although Gao Jie was rebellious and choked each other a few times, it was normal for him to turn his face immediately!
"Okay, you two! If you have nothing to do, you will pinch it, and when you look back, Uncle Huang will get angry again", Zheng Hong couldn't help but speak, "Hurry up and go down to defend your own war zone, now the Qing army is blocked on the opposite bank, and they will all have snacks", and then looked back at the chariot company and the pro-guard army that had retreated to the river: "You said that you want to blow up the ice on the river, so that we can sleep soundly at night!" (To be continued......)
