Chapter 206: The old slave words are still in my ears now
When the battle of Liaoyang City had just begun, Qin Erbao had already arrived at the Weining camp with his army.
At that time, the Jurchens stationed here had already been withdrawn, and when Qin Erbao rode his horse into the camp, in the huge Weining camp, there were only nearly 100 old and weak women and children left everywhere, and these old and weak were not taken away by the Jurchens.
The next day, the news that Liaoyang City had been occupied by the Ming army came, and Qin Erbao was still a little surprised: Is it so simple?
However, in addition to being surprised, Lu Xiangsheng was more puzzled and uneasy.
On the evening of the second day of the garrison, outside the Weining camp.
"Erbao, this war, the division of troops and moves, a certain always feels uneasy," Lu Xiangsheng led the scout battalion during this time, and there was a lot of cooperation between Qin Erbao, and the scout camp went deep behind the enemy, and found out the news of many female real people, and judging from the recent transfer of troops, Lu Xiangsheng always felt that the Jurchens did not mean to Liaoyang City: "Taking Liaoyang City so easily makes people feel that there is fraud in it!" ”
"Don't you want to be in Liaoyang City? So in your opinion, what do the Jurchens want to do? With your back to Shenyang City, fight to the death with me? Qin Erbao rode his horse and Lu Xiangsheng walked side by side, and the two of them patrolled the terrain and river outside the Weining camp together, with only a few guards by their side.
"Dai Shanqi is ruthless, he is not such a person who compromises easily, and the Jurchen high-level has just experienced turmoil, those ministers will definitely not compromise and surrender in exchange for the support of the clansmen, at this time, it is right to be tough in the end!" Lu Xiangsheng was still frowning, obviously this worry had made him not sleep well in the past few days.
"You say this, you tell me, brother, I can only nod and praise a word of foresight, but Xiong Jingluo is there, but he doesn't wait to see me and wait, and he recklessly says a word, but it will not benefit him, and he will attract hatred, in the end, that ancestor Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan is not a broad-minded lord," Qin Erbao gently shook the reins, sat down on the war horse with his head down, and leisurely gnawed on the grass on the ground.
"But," Lu Xiangsheng still wants to say something, planning for the country is always better than for his own selfishness, right?
"Moreover, this battle plan is also approved by Grandpa Guo's side, and it will be fine," Qin Erbao stretched out his hand and stroked the horse's mane, his movements were gentle and gentle, to be honest, this is a good breed BMW, but it makes Qin Erbao cherish it.
Originally, there were five horses in total, two of which were Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng, and the other three were sent back to the capital a month ago to honor Wang Qi.
Day and night, twelve hours, can travel more than 800 miles, good horses, nothing more.
On the other side, when Qin Erbao lowered his head and stroked his beloved horse, Lu Xiangsheng was still thinking in pieces: "It was said that it was Grandpa Guo's suggestion, but Grandpa Guo didn't let the ancestral brothers put the formation in the Tiger Skin Station, what is Xu Xu Tuzhi?" I feel that Grandpa Guo's plan has not been implemented by those military men at all, and Xiong Jingliu is probably also bewitched. ”
Lu Xiangsheng said, his face was gloomy, and he looked north, where the mountains were undulating and the terrain was constantly extending, as if it was foggy, making it impossible to see it.
"It's okay for you to tell me this, but if it reaches someone with a heart, it's very bad" Obviously, Qin Erbao was already well versed in the rules of Liaodong officialdom, and kindly reminded.
"At the end of a certain line, stand up straight! Why care about those" Lu Xiangsheng was just about to open his mouth to refute, when the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
"Phew!" The herald had already turned over and dismounted ten steps away, ran quickly to the two of them, and knelt on the ground: "Liaodong Jingluo Xiong personally wrote an order, ordering more than 20,000 soldiers and horses belonging to General Qin and 13,000 soldiers and horses belonging to Deputy General Lu to immediately go north, go to Fengji Fort to deter Shenyang, and at the same time sweep away the enemy army in Fangyuan, monitor and gradually control the boundary of Fushun!" ”
After receiving the warrant from the herald, Qin Erbao glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then handed the warrant to Lu Xiangsheng on the side, before slowly speaking, and said to the herald: "Where is Xiong Jingluo at the moment?" ”
"The Chinese army, together with the left and right battalions of the vanguard, has already marched towards the Tiger Skin Station, and in about an hour, it will arrive!" The herald remained on his knees, respectfully replying.
"I know, go back and tell Lord Jinglue that Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng will set off immediately, arrive at Fengji Fort before dawn, and act according to Lord Jinglue's orders" Qin Erbao did not choose to refuse or give any suggestions at the first time.
"The little one obeys." The herald got up, bowed again, then turned and galloped away, and in a short time rode his horse away.
"Xiong Jingluo has merged the Chinese army and the pioneer battalion into one?" Lu Xiangsheng only felt a faint pain in his cheeks, and asked Qin Erbao, "Brother Qin, why didn't you refuse such a military order?" So what does Yuan Chonghuan eat? The night march approached fifty miles outside the city of Shenyang, which was simply ridiculous! Isn't such a rash advance a deviation from the implementation of this military strategy? We should refuse! ”
Qin Erbao just tilted his head slightly, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and said after a while: "If we refuse the order, believe it or not, if we win this battle, you and I will not have half the credit, but if we lose, the first person to cut off the head and bear the crime is you and my brother." ”
"How can you spare your life for the sake of your country?" Lu Xiangsheng asked sharply.
"Brother Lu, it's not a pity for me to die, if you are unjustly killed, then the Ming Dynasty can lose a tiger general! Why bother? Qin Erbao was half-joking, half-serious and said: "Let's carry out the order first, as for the current situation, I will send a letter to the grandfather of the capital to explain the situation."
With a wave of the long whip in his hand, a series of crackling sounds sounded in the air, and Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "If the Duke of Lang Guo is here, there will definitely be no such absurd military order!" ”
Without paying any more attention to Lu Xiangsheng's complaints, Qin Erbao had already begun to make marching arrangements: "Order all battalions, assemble in front of the camp in a quarter of an hour, and drag on all the heavy grain and grass, artillery, and battle preparations, and hand them over to the people and pack horsemen, and the rest of the cavalry and archers, gunners, and march in a hurry, and the target - Fengji Fort a hundred miles away!" ”
With the issuance of the military order, soon, the entire Weining battalion began to move.
The soldiers of the battalions from all over the country quickly stood in front of the battalion in formation, waiting for the lecture and the order of the chief officer.
"The battle of Houjin after the destruction of my Ming Dynasty has begun the day before yesterday, but those battles have little to do with us, our soldiers have not yet opened their blades, and the war horses have not drunk blood, but next, it is the beginning of the war between my Qinzi battalion and the Luzi battalion! Grandpa Guo is waiting for our good news in the capital, brothers, the blade is sharp, the armor is complete, ride the war horse, and cut the fucking old slave of Jianzhou! ”
"Kill! Cut the fucking old slave of Jianzhou! ”
"Kill, kill, kill, kill !!"
The soldiers are in formation, the horses are neighing, and the real bloody battle is about to begin.
Qin Erbao pulled out the long knife on his waist, and his resolute face was full of murderous aura: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”
————
South of Shenyang City, more than 50 miles, tiger skin station.
Zu Dale's vanguard cavalry was very fast, and when he received the news that Xiong Tingbi sent troops, Zu Dale took the initiative to ask for help, leading more than 1,000 cavalry of the ancestral family to take the lead and open the way for the army.
In fact, earlier, the scouts had already explored the area of Tiger Skin Station, which was already deserted except for deserted villages and rivers that had long since dried up.
Therefore, this place was chosen as the center of the camp and surrounded by Shenyang City, in addition to the moderate distance from Shenyang City, there is also one point that is extremely important: the Tiger Skin Station is the only high point within a radius of 100 miles.
Commanding heights!
This word Zu Dale once heard Wang Qi, the Duke of Langguo, say.
Whether it is cavalry, archers, spearmen or any other class, as long as you occupy the high ground on the battlefield, you have obtained the scythe that harvests the lives of the enemy.
Hit high and low, and idiots can kill.
And Zu Dale felt that he was a smart person, and in the name of the pathfinder, he led the army to occupy the commanding heights, so that the Zu family was in an absolute dominant position whether it was sending troops or going to war.
From the beginning of the war to the present, the war dividends obtained by the ancestral family have been a hundred times that of the previous decades.
"That's Shenyang City," Zu Dale stopped at a high point in the Tiger Skin Station, and in the dark, he gazed at the Xiongcheng in the distance by the moonlight.
Taking Liaoyang City is only the first step, and Shenyang City is the top priority of this battle.
As long as Shenyang City is taken, then it can be announced that the Jianzhou Jurchens, who have been entrenched in Liaodong for decades and endangered the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, have been driven out of Liaodong in a practical sense, that is, it can be announced that from now on, the Ming Dynasty will officially take back Liaodong!
"My lord, a radius of ten miles has been explored, there is no trace of the enemy, all the Jiannu are cowering in Shenyang City, no one dares to come out to investigate the situation at this time."
The ancestral family's personal soldiers stood behind Zu Dale and reported the situation to him.
"Ten miles away," Zu Dale retracted his gaze: "Didn't find any trace of Jiannu?" ”
"Back to the adults, except for a few grass deer who were disturbed and ran back to the mountains and forests farther away, there was not even a ghost in the rest." The guard smiled: "Besides, my ancestral family has ridden everywhere, who dares to show his head indiscriminately, unless it is the old birthday star who hangs himself, he will have a long life!" ”
"Tell the brothers, lift up your spirits, inspect again, and make sure that there is no trace of Jiannu here before dawn, and when the time comes, there will be no chaos!" For the sake of prudence, Zu Dale asked people to investigate again.
"The little one understands, go immediately!" The guard nodded, then turned to leave.
Not long after, under the cover of the night and the mountains and forests, the cavalry of the ancestral family galloped away again in groups of several people
No matter what kind of strife and war in the world, the sun god who rises in the east and sets in the west does not seem to have any changes.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning emerged from the east, Zu Dale could almost see the honor guard of Xiong Tingbi's Chinese army in the distance.
"Come with me to meet you!" Zu Dale rubbed his face indiscriminately, then turned over and got on his horse, preparing to lead his guards to greet the arrival of his eldest brother and Master Jinglu.
At this moment, in the distance, the guards who had been sent out to patrol last night galloped back on horseback.
"My lord! Small debriefing"
"Huh?" Looking at his haggard subordinates, Zu Dale chuckled in his heart, but as a general, he couldn't show any panic at this moment, just frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Last night, eight groups of cavalry went out of the camp to investigate, and seven of the brothers have returned, but there is still a team of scouts in the northwest direction, and they have not returned all night" The guard looked nervous and added: "The small one has sent people out to look for it, but at present, there is still no trace." ”
"Are you saying that from last night to now, in two hours, Lao Tzu's team of scouts has disappeared silently, and you are only returning to me now?" Zu Dale's mood, in an instant, was like a roller coaster, from longing for joy to monstrous rage.
Lost a team of scouts!
What does it mean, after decades in the army, Zu Dale knows better than anyone else.
What does it mean that an elite cavalry of ten people can disappear silently, and there is no trace to be discovered?
In other words, within a radius of ten miles, there is a battalion several times larger than the ancestral cavalry, lurking here.
And where the Jurchen scouts are, what does it want to do?
Do you need to talk about it?
For a moment, Zu Dale could barely hold back the fury in his heart, and wanted to cut this subordinate with a knife.
"Quickly report this matter to the general!" It is impossible for Zu Dale to hide this matter, and he must give the truth to Zu Dashou, so that he can be fully prepared for the upcoming war as much as possible.
In fact, according to Xiong Tingbi's plan, with the ancestral family as the Chinese army, Qin Erbao on the right flank, and Luo Yiyi on the left wing, surrounded Shenyang City, if the Jurchen dared to send troops, they would be surrounded and annihilated.
But now, as soon as he heard that the Jurchens really dared to send troops, Zu Dale's heart was still flustered for no reason.
Not long after, more than ten miles away, Xiong Tingbi's Chinese military camp slowly stopped.
"It is suspected that the Jiannu army appeared in the area of Hupiyi?" Hearing the news brought by his subordinates, Xiong Tingbi condensed his eyes and looked at Zu Dashou who was standing aside: "Jiannu is leaving Shenyang unguarded at the moment, and he dares to send troops to fight me?" ”
"Hui Jingluo's words, maybe it is a lonely city in Shenyang City, Jiannu also feels that it is useless to defend it," Zu Dashou faced the news of the suspected Jiannu army, without any panic, compared to his cousin's qi cultivation kung fu, this contemporary head of the ancestral family, can be described as a full master: "According to the report of the herald, Luo's army has arrived at the Wujing camp, and the army led by Qin Erbao has also arrived at Fengji Fort half an hour ago, if Jiannu really dares to go out of the city to fight with me, it will be several times the enemy's strength and occupy the commanding heights." Our army will win! ”
"Immediately send an order to the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings, encircle the tiger skin post, and wipe out all the soldiers and horses of Jiannu here, the old man wants to see, these barbarian tribes that remain in the land of Liaodong are afraid of death!"
Woo woo.
Knock knock knock!!
The sound of drums and trumpets whined over the vast plains and spread far away.
When the heralds rode their horses towards the left and right flanks of the Ming army, the Jurchens had already begun their own actions.
The mountains and forests of Liaodong are stacked on top of each other, and Wei Qi, who has just been promoted to the commander of the Zhenglan Banner and the second-class chief officer, is leading nearly 10,000 troops at this moment, heading towards the direction of Wujing Camp through the mountain road.
Wei Qi never wanted to fight Xiong Tingbi's army head-on. As the saying goes, no matter how many enemies come from, I will only attack one. At the beginning of the battlefield of Salhu, the words of the old slave were still in my ears.
And Wujing Fort, where the chief soldier Luo has always been, is the first real battlefield.
In the land of Liaodong, after half a year, I am going to see a bloody war again, and there is purgatory on earth.
