Become Clear

Chapter 232: Ride to Dingzhou!

Views:

After the battle, the entire Ming army was a happy place. It is not surprising that the Xuanjia army was able to defeat the dog Tartar, but now, even the Guanning cavalry, who was known for being good at'turning into' in the past, is full of power and frustration. Stubborn enemy, this change...

Including the results of this battle, it is also magnificent, beheading a total of three thousand clear soldiers! And they are all standard Zhengbaiqi Tartars, the so-called true Tartars! (The Eight Banners of Mongolia are Ertarzi)

As for the seized Qing army horses, there are more than 4,000 horses. After all, Tarzi likes one person and two horses, which has greater mobility, but now... all belong to the Ming army! Including the captured armors and knives, they are also piled up like a mountain, such a great victory...

After returning to the camp, Lu Xiangsheng immediately raised his tent to celebrate the three major soldiers who went into the battle. After Bai Guangen and the other three general soldiers entered the tent, they were blood-stained robes, and some even suffered minor injuries. , But their expressions are very happy... I didn't expect them to have this day too!

And Lu Xiangsheng also said that in this great victory, the three thousand first-level military merits will be distributed by the three of them, and the generals of the camp will never get involved!

And this kind of statement made these three people even more happy. You must know that even if there were small wins in the past, such as beheading a hundred heads, the coach, out of various considerations, was divided equally by everyone in the end. What now? The three thousand heads are theirs? Such a battle is worth it!

And the three of them have already discussed it. This time the three of them all contributed hard to fight, and no one sneered or skidded, so these first-levels were evenly distributed, with 1,000 per person!

This result is even more pleasing to them. Although the three men suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, just like the general soldier Bai Guangen of Jizhen, the cavalry casualties of more than 500 people, almost as high as 20%, and these are his. The core is elite, which makes him heartbroken, but compared with these military achievements, he thinks it is still worth it.

Not to mention that the Qing army horses seized this time have almost all been supplemented to them, so that they have gained a lot!

"General Bai, General Tang, General Ma, congratulations—" At this time, there were other generals who came forward to congratulate them, including the veteran Yang Guozhu, who had previously looked down upon them. Congratulations, sincere and sincere... after all These three people have used practical actions to win respect for themselves.

"Haha, with the same joy and joy—" Bai Guangen and the other three also thanked them repeatedly, and they also felt a sense of respect for a long time. It turned out that instead of being a fleeing general, it felt like fighting the enemy bravely. That's really good...

Even among them, the three of them specially thanked Yang Shanlu. At the critical moment of the battle, the roar of the Xuan Jia army was worth ten thousand troops!

And the three of them are all veterans, knowing the proportions... If you switch to another Ming army and see that victory is in sight, you don’t immediately move forward, so that no matter how much effort you put in, you can divide the first level. Yes, but now, what the Xuan Jia army has done is really beautiful. It not only helped them, but did not get involved in the military service. It is worthy of the famous Xuan Jia army!

"Hehe, this is the three generals who dare to fight themselves, otherwise, the general can't help much." Yang Shanlu said indifferently. With the previous Zhuozhou victory, he certainly doesn't appreciate this military merit.

And more importantly, he wants to let these people know that as long as they fight bravely, there will be benefits, let alone the nasty things that encroach on military exploits! And this also proves that, as a military commander, just kill the enemy! Only civilian officials do not love money, and military commanders are not afraid of death. There is hope for this country...

"Good, good! Well said!" Seeing that the campers are in harmony, and there is no longer the faint opposition before, Lu Xiangsheng is even more happy when he sees it. It seems that after kicking the dog thief Gao Qiqian, the battle has become very smooth. Yeah...

And after this great victory, the fear of the enemy and cowardice in the army have been wiped out. Think about it, even the ever timid Guan Ning army can defeat the Tartars. What else does anyone need to say

At the moment when everyone was celebrating, I suddenly heard the sound of blowing and beating from outside the tent, and then a guard entered the tent with a smile on his face, and said: "Report to the governor, the three-dynasty veteran Sun Chengzong and the county magistrate, leading the city A bunch of squires and people came to labor with pigs, sheep, cattle and wine."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he nodded and smiled, and the other generals in the big tent had a smile on everyone’s face, and there was a sense of pride from the heart. You must know that the current Daming is like an old man who has been dying, so the official The army is also uneven. The people have always turned around and fled when they saw the official army, but now, there are still people who come to work on the initiative? This transformation...

And hearing that even Sun Chengzong, the emperor of the three dynasties, came, Bai Guangen and others were even more excited. This time they desperately tried to save Gao Yang. This is also a factor...

So at the moment, the generals followed Lu Xiangsheng to greet him.

After going out of the big tent, I saw dozens of squires walking on the opposite side, beating gongs and drums, and the old man in the lead was Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong was a famous minister at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he was both upright and strategic. Think about it, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, how powerful it was! But the only fear is Sun Chengzong! It can even be said that the carpenter emperor did not change the dynasty, and Sun Chengzong made great contributions.

So when he saw such a celebrity appeared, Yang Shanlu looked at it carefully, and after looking at it, Yang Shanlu was relieved that Sun Chengzong’s health is very good. You must know that Sun Chengzong is seventy-six years old this year, but look. Going up, his face was ruddy, his legs were light, he looked like he was in his sixties, and he was indeed young!

And at this time, after Lu Xiangsheng had already met Sun Chengzong in the ceremony of the younger generation, Bai Guangen and other generals of the Guan Ning army all greeted them, and even knelt down one by one... You must know that the reason why Ming was concerned about Ning Jun was actually Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong took care of everything from the initial materials and food to the matching of personnel, so this feeling...

And Sun Chengzong also has feelings for these generals. After all, the Qing army has begun to besie Gaoyang. If Bai Guangen and others are not swearing to the death, I am afraid this old fate will be confessed, so Sun Chengzong is also very comforting to them. .

When Yang Shanlu saw this scene, he was even more delighted. He felt that the decision made before was correct. It is beyond doubt that the founder of the Guan Ning Army will rule the Guan Ning Army, plus Sun Chengzong’s integrity and patriotism. .

(In the original history, the Qing army attacked Gaoyang. Sun Chengzong led his family and his descendants to resist Gaoyang City. After the city was broken, the family of more than forty people, together with his sons Sun Yao, Sun Zhen, etc., none of them surrendered, all of them died in battle. Touching the world), so letting such a person replace Gao Qiqian, is it a clever trick

And at this time, after Sun Chengzong and Bai Guangen and others told their parting feelings, he had already walked over to Yang Shanlu, and said loudly, "Hehe, who is the town general Yang Shanlu? The old man wants it today. See you in person!"

"Dare not, the end will be." Yang Shanlu quickly stood out from the crowd.

And after Sun Chengzong looked at him up and down, he was already admiring again and again: "Sure enough, he is a young hero, worthy of being a Zhen Guo general who was sealed by the emperor himself! I, Yang Zhong Zhonghua, finally has another Qi Shaobao!"

And this is also very obvious. Just now, Sun Chengzong knew about the Zhuozhou Great Victory, beheading 10,000 ranks, what a great achievement! Then I understood why the generals of the Guanning army became so daring to fight, and this played a leading role... And such a change, how can Sun Chengzong not be happy

But Yang Shanlu said very modestly: "The old man is absurd. In fact, the old man is a great accomplishment. I wanted to preside over the construction of the Ningjin line that year, so that Danzi would not cross the thunder pool for decades. This is the great contribution of Yu Guoguo. what!"

"Haha!" Hearing Yang Shanlu mentioned the most proud thing in his life, as capable as Sun Chengzong, he couldn't help laughing, this was scratching his itch.

Even Sun Chengzong said with regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if you were born twenty years earlier, General Zhen Guo, who would have been so rampant with the Tartars, you would have beaten the Tartars back to the state of a savage long ago."

But Yang Shanlu smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, old man, it's not too late... The key is to have a self-improvement heart!"

"Good, good!" Sun Chengzong was even more delighted when he heard that. His heart was exactly the same as the rumors. Although he was young, he was a master of civil and military skills. Daming had produced such heroes, who were comparable to Qi Shaobao. The sky is endless for me!

When everyone was talking, the county magistrates of Gaoyang, including the squires, watched in awe. For them, Sun Chengzong was a local signboard, and they were all proud of it!

After all the excitement, when Sun Chengzong was about to leave, Lu Xiangsheng pulled him aside and told him that the court was about to reactivate him... Because Gaoyang City was besieged by the Qing army before, Sun Chengzong is not yet Know this thing.

I have to say that Sun Chengzong is indeed loyal and patriotic. He is already 76 years old, and he is still an old man, with ambitions for thousands of miles! After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he did not hesitate to agree, and he was still commanding the old army before, and he knew it.

After discussing with Sun Chengzong in this way, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chengzong went directly to the camp of the Chinese army. After reading the imperial decree, Sun Chengzong accepted it, and then all the generals on the field met with the newly appointed Supervisor.

And no matter which general he was, he admired Sun Chengzong as the supervising army. After all, Sun Chengzong's reputation was there, and he couldn't accept it.

Including Lu Xiangsheng, who is the coach of the camp, the same is true. Even he thinks that the court has done a great thing this time. With Sun Chengzong’s military talent, compared with that of Gao Qiqi who only knows to escape, it’s definitely something. One in the sky and one underground!

Then wait until the two are standing side by side in the case of the handsome, and then start to enter the agenda, after all, the military situation is like a fire at the moment...

In the original history, from the beginning of November to the beginning of December, the Qing army was invincible, attacking the city all the way and breaking through the villages, successively conquering Dingzhou, Gaoyang, Hengshui, Wuyi, Zaoqiang, Jize, Wen'an, Bazhou, and Wei County. Eighteen cities, including Pingxiang, Fucheng, Nanhe, Shahe, Yuanshi, Zanhuang, Lincheng, Gaoyi, and Xianxian, suffered numerous deaths and injuries, and Daming suffered heavy losses.

So even now, the enemies of Gaoyang have been wiped out, but other nearby cities, such as Dingzhou, Hengshui, Wuyi and other counties, are still threatened by the Tartarists, and there are tens of thousands of them a day late. The situation is very urgent for the surname suffered.

At this time, a map of the surrounding area has been hung up. Thanks to Yang Shanlu’s long-standing layout, an elite special camp was sent to sneak in, so a clear map has been drawn, and the The number of Qing troops is marked for reference by the coach.

Therefore, at this time, Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully, "Look, old man, according to the intelligence discovered by the sentry, the nearby counties such as Dingzhou, Hengshui, Wuyi are under siege by Tarzi, you think our army should rescue first. Where is it right?"

Sun Chengzong, like Lu Xiangsheng, belonged to a different kind of literati, and both knew soldiers very well.

So after reading the map and thinking about it, he said happily: "Since Du Lu is showing his love so much, the old man will express his opinion. According to my opinion, our army won a big victory in Gaoyang City today, but Tarzi hasn't reacted yet. When the time came, our army was able to go straight to the rescue of Dingzhou, the nearest city to Gaoyang."

"According to the investigation report, the eastern captives besieging Dingzhou are only three thousand people, half of which are from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and their strength is even weaker. Therefore, once my army of fifty thousand arrives, I will be able to kill him like a fly! In this way, you can solve the siege of Dingzhou and fight another big victory! This way, even if you start a decisive battle with the Tartars in the future, you can be more confident."

After all, this is also very obvious. No matter how good the news is blocked in the special battalion, when Gaoyang, Dingzhou, the two consecutive major tartars are wiped out, Dorgon should have reacted, and wait until the scattered Qing army gathers in one place, everyone. If fifty thousand versus fifty thousand, it will be a lot more difficult to pick up the bargain, so we still have to take advantage of this good time, hurry up and start...

"Okay!" After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded happily: "Then, according to what the old man saw, send troops to Dingzhou, first solve the siege of Dingzhou!"

After this decision, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered that after the fifty thousand troops had dinner, they would rest in Gaoyang for the whole night, and then leave the camp for Dingzhou the next day to lift the siege of Dingzhou!

"Yes -" Many generals in the field all led their orders in unison. After today's Gao Yang battle, the morale of the army has been even higher! From the original cowardice to avoid war, everyone is now eager to fight!

After all, from a certain point of view, the entry of the Tartars is both a crisis and an opportunity. This is a large-scale gift, and there are strong friendly forces like the Xuanjia Army around them, and there are better than this. Chance? So that’s everyone eager to fight...

So next, the fifty thousand army enjoyed a dinner at Meimei, including nearly a thousand horses killed in this war, all of them were killed for meat, including the pigs and sheep sent by the workers of Gaoyang people, and the same was done. In this way, I was full of food and drink. By the morning of the next day, the whole army immediately went to Dingzhou!

Dingzhou was about fifty miles away from Gaoyang City, and then Lu Xiangsheng was afraid that Dingzhou’s Tarazi would get the news and would run away or something, so he had already ordered a cavalry to attack first and grab the flag!

And after he revealed this, the generals in the camp were all vying to request to play, even Bai Guangen, who had just fought a battle yesterday, is no exception. After all, such an opportunity is very rare...

And seeing the morale available, Lu Xiangsheng was also very happy, so after selection, he sent out the two generals, Cao Bianjiao, the Yutian commander, and Wang Yanchen, the former army commander, who had already recharged, and commanded nearly 6,000 cavalry under his command. ! Lu Xiangsheng was also worried that they were not strong enough, so he drew 3,000 cavalry from the three towns of Xuanda University, so that he gathered a total of 9,000 troops to help Dingzhou.

Nine thousand to three thousand? Half of them are Mongol Tartars? Isn't this done by hand? So Cao Bianjiao and the others rushed to Dingzhou with a horse and a whip.-Dog Tartars, grandpa is here! (End of this chapter)
