Chapter 383: Time Runs Out The Great War Begins
? Chapter 383: Don't wait for the battle to begin
Mu Shi's men and horses, in the end, still failed to match the footsteps of the Azig men who were in a hurry to leave, although they completely annihilated the hundreds of people after the other party was broken and opened the way to the north, but Mu Shi's heart always felt a little strange.
After fighting for many days, there were even a few times when the entire Western Route Army almost collapsed, where did Mu Shi still have the slightest intention of underestimating these Tartars, the Fengzi Battalion felt very good about itself, and everyone's fighting spirit was also very high, but if you thought that the Fengzi Battalion could be invincible, then it was really a hero who underestimated the world.
Take the Qing cavalry on the opposite side, they may not be more numerous than the Fengzi battalion, and the firearms may not be stronger than the Fengzi battalion, of course, if it is the opponent's cannon, this long-range firepower Fengzi battalion is even weaker, but it is such an enemy, except for the beginning when the two sides did not know the depth, the night attack of the Fengzi battalion took a lot of advantage, and in the future intermittent battles, if you want to say how much advantage the Fengzi battalion has, it may not be.
On several occasions, the Fengzi battalion chose the battlefield and set up a position, intending to 'induce' the opponent to fight a head-on battle, and the tactics of the Fengzi battalion were obviously not suitable for the enemy's guerrilla warfare methods, whether the enemy was guerrilla and did not attack and disturb his own side, or a small group of cavalry quickly advanced, Mu Shi felt very difficult to deal with.
And the enemy's generals, obviously aware of this, did not fall for him at all, as for the same as the day of the encounter, night attack on the enemy camp, it is completely impossible, with the lesson of the last time, the other party's generals have always been careful to beware of the wind word battalion This kind of trick, the same mistake, the other party's generals, obviously will not make a second time.
Therefore, Mu Shi's Western Route Army fought very hard.
In terms of casualties alone, in fact, there is not much gap between the two sides, of course, any general of the Ming Dynasty can lead an army dominated by foot soldiers and an army dominated by cavalry, and it is already quite a remarkable thing to be able to fight like this, and it is not uncommon for him to boast of becoming a famous general or something.
However, that is the general of the Ming Dynasty, not Mu Shi, there are thousands of generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the Fengzi Battalion is so valuable, Mu Shi doesn't think this is a victory. Zhao Gui's experience is there, he has just started his own road to Qingyun, but he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Zhao Shoubei.
All, as soon as Azig's soldiers and horses disengaged, they quickly disappeared without a trace, Mu Shi felt a little strange in his heart, but he felt a little relaxed for no reason, he arranged Rong Qi's scout horses everywhere to find out the whereabouts of this group of men and horses, and at the same time stepped up his rest, and was ready to guard against what the other party was playing.
"Qianhu, there's news from my lord's side!" With the withdrawal of the Tartars, the communication was cut off for several days, and finally resumed, and as soon as he received the carrier pigeons of the Eastern Route Army, he was immediately sent to him by his own soldiers.
"Good!" Mu Shi flicked up and took the message.
"My lord, what's going on?" Liu Xiaoliu, who was talking to Mu Shi on the side, also stood up with a concerned expression.
"Good news, the whole army has been ordered, the lord has taken Xichuan City, and now he has commanded the Tartar lair, and the Eastern Route Army has won a big victory!" Mu Shi was very excited to raise the battle in his hand, and after ordering his own soldiers, he turned his head to Liu Xiaoliu and said: "It seems that we don't have to think about it, we have fought with our opponents for these days, where did we go, it must be that the Tartars are tight, these people and horses are all transferred back to deal with our adults!" ”
"That's great news!" Liu Xiaoliu was also overjoyed, and rubbed his hands vigorously: "These guys, walking in such a hurry, as if fleeing for their lives, must be the adults are attacking fiercely, and they can't stand it!" ”
"Hmm!" Mu Shi thought so.
"So what are we going to do, do we just catch up? However, with our footsteps, I am afraid that when we arrive, let alone eat 'meat', we may not even be able to drink a mouthful of soup! Liu Xiaoliu was a little regretful.
"No!" Mu Shi vetoed: "The order given to us by the adults is to take Dandong Fort, if there is no clear order from the adults, we will not go anywhere, or continue our mission!" ”
"Tsk......" Liu Xiaoliu pouted his teeth 'flower', and felt a little entangled. At present, the enemy army is heading to the east, how many enemies there are in Dandong, there is no spectrum, and I hope that next, and then kill the enemy happily, I am afraid that it will be very worrying.
......
Under the city of Chushan, the aftermath is camped.
"Your Excellency!" Velasco walked into the big tent of the Chinese army in a bit of a hurry, and gave Yu Feng a salute very neatly: "These barbarians, under the pretext that it's getting dark, don't give us food anymore, but look, my lord, Shen Shi hasn't arrived yet, where is it almost dark!" ”
"How much food have we received in the past few days?" Yu Feng ignored him and asked directly.
"It's less than half of what we asked for at the beginning, these guys, I think they want to go back, my lord, do you want me to take someone to teach them a lesson, so that they know that there is a price to be paid for going back on their word!"
"Your people, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Yu Feng shook his head and raised the document in his hand: "Last night, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, according to our scouts, this group of people came from Bitong, and the number was no less than 10,000 people. ”
"What do I say......" Velasco suddenly realized: "Dare to love, the other party feels that he has the ability to fight us, all, he doesn't plan to fulfill the agreement!" ”
"Then what are we waiting for, stew them in one pot!" He opened his teeth and danced his claws, and the adults surrounded but did not attack, I am afraid that what he is waiting for is now!
"Are you willing to take the lead for my Wind Word Battalion?" Yu Feng also felt that he could do it now, taking advantage of the enemy's reinforcements and not gaining a stable foothold, he would attack with thunder, and it was best to eat this enemy completely, and then, advance and retreat freely, both offensive and defensive, and also have the capital to speak with Huang Taiji.
"My subordinates can't ask for it!" Velasco was overjoyed.
Coming out of the afterglow tent, Velasco was simply murderous, and went directly back to the training camp and shouted, and the guys in the training camp who had been idle for a long time immediately screamed, picked up the guys and followed their commander out of the camp.
"King Yingjun, I'm afraid that as soon as I hear this grain, the other party will have to make a move, these people, for the sake of the grain, have endured it for so long, I'm afraid it's just such an excuse?" Yue Tuo was slightly resistant to Azig's order not to transport food anymore, he had already given so much, and he didn't care about a little more, if he waited until General Jianzhou's soldiers and horses arrived, wouldn't it be better if he suddenly attacked. Of course, he was only slightly resistant, and with the current Azig soldiers and horses in the city, he didn't have much to worry about.
"So what?" Azig didn't know how to do it, he looked at the movement under the city and said: "Sooner or later, the food will be given to them one day, and if we give it to them, we will use less, will they leave after giving it?" It's a game with a tiger! ”
Before Yue Tuo could refute Azig's words, he saw a group of people pouring out of the other party's camp, and they came towards them in a 'chaotic' manner.
These people have cavalry, there are infantry, and they are not in line with the neat formation of other enemies, they are almost like a rabble, and the general at the head has a sword and a 'flower' banner on his head, he stared at it for a long time, and he didn't see clearly what it meant.
"What is this? Dead soldiers? "Dead soldiers are death row prisoners or soldiers who have made mistakes, and they are used as the most dangerous charging battles on the battlefield with the least chance of survival, and Azig has such a battalion of men.
Azig was a little strange, this group of people slowly approached, and the city had already taken precautions, but the soldiers who were waiting for the battle saw the appearance of the enemy under the city, and these soldiers guarding the city, like their prince, were a little stunned.
This group of people, except for a few people, wearing the uniform of the Ming army, the rest of the people, wearing everything, the weapons are also strange, basically, as long as they can think of weapons, in this group of manpower, can be seen, what makes them even more strange, these people's faces, obviously not Mingren, uh... Perhaps some of them were dressed in black and held narrow scimitars, some were like Ming people, and the others were all hideous-looking like evil spirits.
"Barbarians at the head of the city, treachery is a price, do not take our mercy as cowardice, now be prepared to bear our wrath!" Velasco raised a broadsword and said in a puff. Such a military fort, not even the siege equipment, not to mention, those soldiers transporting grain just returned to the city, this big 'gate' must not be blocked, as long as the big 'gate' is broken, this city is basically broken.
"It's a chatterbox!" Yu Feng saw that Velasco, who had already reached the edge of the opponent's bow and arrow range, was still posing, talking nonsense, and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Tell Zhao Deng to prepare, let his people slowly push over, at least, at least three battalions of people at the front!" Yu Feng ordered: "Jia 3, Jia 4 and Ding Qi are the forwards, follow behind the training camp, keep a distance from the 3rd to 9th battalions, follow behind the old battalion, and the horse team guards the right flank!" ”
Following his order, there were banners around him, and then, several huge phalanxes gradually took shape, and once they were formed, they immediately slowly 'forced' towards the city in front of them.
These phalanxes are not for the siege of the city, to be honest, if the enemy generals had brains, they would not give up their mobility advantage and stick to this seemingly unreliable city. The serious approach is to set up a formation under the city, and then, relying on the city behind, the two sides will fight it out.
The training camp was sent out, Yu Feng didn't have any hope, relying on these mercenaries, he could take the city 'gate', unless those reinforcements in the city were all dead or not, otherwise, they would definitely not watch these people wantonly show off here, you know, the training camp not only blocked their way out of the city to assemble, but also tried to seize the city 'gate'.
"Idiot!" Azig burst out of his mouth coldly, looking at the foot soldiers swarming from the city, he ordered expressionlessly: "Release the arrow!" ”
