Chapter 265 Boss
Wang Xun is happy, he is the highest military commander in Datong, if this battle is not good, he will lose his head, Zhu Houzhao is in Yanghe, it is not difficult to rush over and cut off his head, he has fought against the little prince many times, he knows that the little prince is scheming, he is an extremely difficult character, and Wang Xun knows how many soldiers and horses in his hands He himself knows very well, has prepared the coffin in advance, and arranged the future, I didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to send such a big gift.
Zhu Houzhao explained in his letter to Wang Xun that after Qiu Ze arrived in Yingzhou, all actions were subject to Qiu Ze's orders, and since then, Wang Xun has nothing to do with losing the battle, and if he wins, his reward will not be less.
Although when looking at Qiu Ze's young face, Wang Xun doubted Qiu Ze's ability more than once, is it really reliable to hand over the country's life and death to such a young man who has not grown up in hair? But when he thought of Zhu Houzhao, who was extravagantly promiscuous, Wang Xun was relieved, there was such an unreliable emperor, and it was understandable to have such an unreliable commander.
Qiu Ze and Wu Hao finished talking about the old days, bowed their hands to everyone, and said: "Everyone, Daming has reached the time of life and death, I hope you can do your best to help me!"
Wang Xun has already explained Qiu Ze's identity, although the generals also suspect Qiu Ze, but the military orders are like a mountain, and they have no choice but to take a stand against Qiu Ze.
Wu Hao laughed and said, "General, just say how to fight! My brothers will definitely listen to you!"
Wu Hao's status in Yingzhou is second only to Wang Xun, he is the deputy chief soldier, others do not know Qiu Ze's ability, but Wu Hao is clear, he said a pun, on the surface it is to listen to Qiu Ze's orders, but in fact it is to give his subordinates a reassurance, Wu Hao can be promoted to the deputy chief soldier, step by step from the sea of corpses and blood! His ability has long been recognized by all the officers and soldiers in Yingzhou, hearing his words, everyone's hearts have also relaxed.
Among these military commanders, there is also a familiar face of Qiu Ze, Qiu Ze has seen him in Huangsha Town before, he is a fat man, surnamed Wang, he used to be a hundred households, and now he has been promoted to a guerrilla general.
Wang Fatzi said to Qiu Ze: "Yes, general, tell me how to fight! Brothers, you must not be cowardly! It is best to send those dog-day Tatar cavalry home tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, Qiu Ze also laughed, and at the end, he said: "Fight, it must be fought, but not now, not tomorrow, everyone, the emperor has led the reinforcements from Yanghe, and will soon arrive in Yingzhou, and by then, the reinforcements from all walks of life are almost ready, therefore, our task is by no means to fight the Tatars, but to find a way to hold them back." ”
Wang Xun didn't make a sound, and when he heard this, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Uh...... General Qiu, the Tatar scouts can not be taken lightly, the emperor's intentions they will inevitably find out, and our troops are insufficient, if the little prince desperately attacks Yingzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to defend, if the Tatars enter Yingzhou City, not only will we die in the country, I am afraid that even the emperor's safety cannot be guaranteed. ”
Hearing about Qiu Ze's plan, Wang Xun has confirmed that Qiu Ze is a young man who talks on paper, judging from his experience with the little prince, the little prince is not a reckless man, he must know this plan well, and he will definitely storm Yingzhou City, and it is difficult to resist with the troops in Yingzhou City alone! How can he get reinforcements to arrive?
Wang Xun said this very tactfully, he was not the boss after all, and he didn't want to be the boss, just because he didn't want the officers and soldiers of Yingzhou to die under Qiu Ze's stupid plan, so he opened his mouth to point out the shortcomings of Qiu Ze's plan.
Wang Xun is the general soldier of Datong, and his words are not light, and the generals who are full of hope for Qiu Ze can't help but be a little shaken.
Qiu Ze smiled slightly, and comforted Wang Xun: "General soldier Wang, we have few soldiers and few food, of course I know this, but ...... I'm sure that the little prince won't dare to attack Yingzhou City for a few days!"
Wang Xun rolled his eyes in his heart, are you sure? The little prince is really your entourage? Could it be that you stand on the city of Yingzhou and shout: If you beat the little prince again in a few days, you will listen to you?
Of course, Wang Xun didn't say what he thought in his heart, he didn't want to be saddled with the black cauldron of the general who died in the country, and since Qiu Ze said so, he didn't bother to make any more plans.
Qiu Ze once again reassured the soldiers with kind words, and then turned his head and asked Zi Yi, "How is it?"
Zi Yi replied: "It's almost there, wait for another half an hour at most." ”
Qiu Ze nodded, put on a solemn face, and said loudly: "Deputy Chief Wu Hao listens to the order!"
Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "The end will be!"
"I order you to select 3,000 elite soldiers to assemble under the city within half an hour!
After Wu Hao confirmed that he had heard correctly, he bowed his hand to Qiu Ze, led the generals down the city wall, and quickly went to prepare.
Wang Fatzi followed behind Wu Hao and muttered in a low voice: "Strange, didn't General Qiu say just now that he wouldn't fight? Why do you want 3,000 people? This is not enough for the little prince to stuff his teeth." ”
Wu Hao didn't quite understand what Qiu Ze meant, but he still replied in a low voice: "Where do you have so many questions? The general must have his reasons for doing this! He is now the commander, we must listen to him, we are not allowed to say such things again in the future, dare to disturb the morale of the army, if there is a next time, don't blame me for curing you of the crime of rebelling against the army!"
Wang Fatzi hurriedly stood up straight and said, "Yes! Chief soldier, I know that I am wrong!"
Wu Hao sighed, turned around and patted Wang Fatzi on the shoulder, and said: "The military order is like a mountain, we are not the commander, we must listen to the commander, besides, isn't there me? I also have to follow, in case...... Then we will have to die for our country. ”
Looking at the back of the generals, Qiu Ze's heart rose a heroic feeling, he had never been on the battlefield and became the boss, it was a little ridiculous to think about it, Zhu Houzhao actually handed over such an important task to him, you must know that Qiu Ze and Zhu Houzhao only got along for a few days, it stands to reason that it is more secure to hand over to Ye Feixu, after all, Ye Feixu is not only the seventh prince of the royal family, but also the host of the future Huangjue Temple, so it is reasonable, he has a reason to guard the Ming Dynasty.
On the city wall, Qiu Ze didn't say a word, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, while Wang Xun sat on the side, looking like he was about to die, sitting on the chair and sighing, occasionally looking at Qiu Ze's thin back, and sighing even more.
It was dark, and the soldiers on the city wall wrapped their clothes, and it was extremely cold in Yingzhou at night.
"It's strange, this fog ...... Something seems wrong!"
A soldier holding a spear muttered, and then one of the people next to him was also surprised, "yes, how did this fog turn black?"
It was already dark, torches were lit everywhere on the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall were surprised to find that under the light of the fire, there was a thick fog in Yingzhou City, and this fog was indescribably strange, it was actually black!
Wang Xun also noticed something unusual, quickly stood up, and looked forward, a thick fog drifted from afar, and soon enveloped Yingzhou City.
"This ......"
Wang Xun's eyes widened, and his words were full of incredulity.
Qiu Ze smiled faintly and said to Wang Xun: "General Wang, have you seen it? This is how I can hold Yingzhou City." ”
Wang Xun turned his head to look at Qiu Ze, who looked confident, and said, "Could it be ...... The general also knows astronomy? The general was right, but there was a thick fog, and the Tatar cavalry naturally did not dare to rashly attack Yingzhou City. ”
When he saw the dense fog, Wang Xun's prejudice against Qiu Ze had already disappeared, and he admired Qiu Ze so much at this time!
Wang Xun was surprised, and his heart was very excited, with the help of the thick fog, he had a greater grasp of defending Yingzhou City!
Qiu Ze did not answer Wang Xun's question, and said solemnly: "General soldier Wang!"
Wang Xun said excitedly: "The subordinates are here!"
"I order you to defend Yingzhou City at all costs! At least until I come back!"
Wang Xun was stunned: "Don't worry, general, I will do my best!" General...... You're going to ......."
Qiu Ze patted Wang Xun on the shoulder, stopped talking, and quickly went to the city wall with Zi Yi and Ye Feixu.
At this time, there were already 3,000 cavalry waiting for Qiu Ze in front of the city wall, these 3,000 cavalry were ordered by Qiu Ze to Wu Hao to gather, they were all the elite of the Ming cavalry, each riding a military horse, and holding a military horse in his hand.
The momentum of these three thousand cavalry was much stronger than that of ordinary cavalry, and there was determination in everyone's eyes, and there was no sound except for the occasional sound of the horses' hooves falling to the ground.
This is a silent cavalry!
Under the firelight, the armor on the cavalrymen's bodies flashed with a cold glow, and their eyes turned to Akizawa.
Qiu Ze rode a horse to the top, and looking at the three thousand cavalry below, he was very satisfied.
Wu Hao arched his hand to Qiu Ze and said, "General, three thousand cavalry have gathered!"
Qiu Ze smiled: "You have worked hard. ”
"The military order is like a mountain, don't dare to slack off!"
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
Qiu Ze's gaze swept around, and he shouted loudly, adding a touch of mana to his voice so that everyone could hear his words.
"Tell me, who are you?"
None of the cavalry answered for a moment, for they had never heard such a question from the commander.
Wu Hao reacted the fastest, and said loudly: "We are Ming soldiers!"
The cavalry reacted and said loudly as Wu Hao learned: "We are Ming soldiers!"
Three thousand people shouted together, and the shouting shook the heavens and the earth! Even Wang Xun on the city wall couldn't help but turn to the side.
"What is your role?"
This time, there was no need for Wu Hao to remind them, everyone said loudly: "Defend the territory!"
"Now that there are out-of-town criminals, what should you do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Qiu Ze sat on the back of the horse and said loudly again: "Now, I want you to go to Wuli Village with me and kill those thieves, do you have any confidence?"
