Chapter 395 General Li arrives
Chapter 395 General Li is here
In the Tartars' barracks, the two yellow flags and the blue flags are now tense, and they are furious. The two red flags, two white flags and the people on the side are all happy to watch the fun.
The two yellow flags and the Zhenglan flags are both flags directly under the emperor. They have always felt that they have a much higher status than other flags. They dislike each other many of the remaining flags. This time they were defeated, and everyone was depressed, and some conflicts that were usually covered also broke out.
Originally, in the eyes of outsiders, the Eight Banners were still harmonious and united with each other. Who would have thought that such a play would be played today, which really opened the eyes of the Mongolian nobles.
General Abatai was ordered to sit in the upper head. He slapped the table heavily, but the people below were not shocked at all. The two yellow flag flags who had been looking away from afar came forward to cheer up the commander Tan Tai. Abatai and Yue Le were always fighting outside.
Although the two of them never took the Zhenglan Banner, there were also many personal soldiers and generals in their hands. When they saw their masters quarrel with others, they naturally had to come forward to help.
The two sides confronted each other on the side of the army's chief general. Abatai was worried about the defeat, but this scene broke out in the commander's tent, so why didn't he get angry?
He is also a veteran who has been leading troops for many years. Why didn't he know that he could not stop the anger and the situation was even more embarrassing. His prestige, the general, has been questioned by the people below. Looking at Korqin Beiletulichen, he has not been by his side as many days ago. Instead, he is surrounded by the guards he brought, and avoids this far away, and he can really observe his expressions.
"Tan Tai, don't make too much trouble. After fighting with the emperor for so many years, you must also know the military law. As for your actions today, no matter what, when you return to the outside of the pass, I will report to the emperor that the emperor can condemn you a serious crime. Our soldiers are not defeated yet. You are just making such a fuss here. What is your intention? You keep talking to the emperor, are you thinking about the emperor or slandering it?"
The general Abatai said the words were both harsh and harsh. Every sentence was extremely heartbroken. Tan Tai, the chief magistrate of the Zhenghuang Banner who had been there, was said to have a lot of momentum. Huang Taiji did protect the two yellow banners, but he was also a rule-abiding figure. Such a behavior of questioning the commander and disrupting the morale of the army was inevitable. Huang Taiji's brothers could be blocked and killed, let alone the subordinates.
Moreover, Abatai has nothing wrong with commanding the world in this world, but the Ming army opposite is too unreasonable, which led to the current situation.
Yue Le's temper is relatively restrained. Since Tan Tai retreated, he would not force him up. The military tent became quiet for a while. The order of General Abatai pondered for a moment and said in a solemn voice:
"The subordinates all leave the tent, and the rest of the land stayed."
This order was issued, and the characters who had insufficient identities bowed and retreated. Tan Tai was said to him just now, and he said with no words:
"General, the people below are panic. Whether to fight or leave, the general needs to come up with an idea. Otherwise, if you are alone in this Ming Dynasty, there will be something wrong!"
"Of course we have to fight, we will attack again tomorrow!"
What Tan Tai asked was actually nonsense, because Abatai had already decided on this charter, but he still had to ask again. However, it was too shocking to continue to attack the Ming army tomorrow. He obviously suffered such a big loss today, and the cannons were lost. The soldiers suffered heavy losses. The morale of the army was extremely sluggish, so why did he still have to attack? Isn’t this asking for trouble?
General Abatai ignored Tan Tai's rudeness and repeated again firmly. Upon hearing this, Tan Tai suddenly jumped up from the chair and said loudly:
"General, our Eight Banners' sons cannot withstand such consumption. How many died today? What are the two yellow banners? Four hundred died today. Yue Le were not you who were inspecting the death and injury today? How many people are there? Could it be that the General doesn't know this number!"
The governor Tan Tai is also a reserved person on weekdays, but at this moment he is almost cheating. He is like a thug here. Tan Tai feels heartbroken because he is not in the position of commander in this military camp, and he is restrained by the people above everywhere. He always feels that everyone wants to work together to deal with the two yellow flags.
The two yellow flags are too strong, and the rest of the Eight Banners are disliked. Although the nobles of the two yellow flags are arrogant, they are also extremely alert, fearing that they will be cheated by others.
Today, the Mongolian and Han army suffered heavy casualties, but the real damage to the Eight Banners was the horse team of the two yellow banners. How could he be willing to do so? He could not suffer any loss no matter what. He gritted his teeth and wanted to compete for the worst.
"There were 7,000 deaths and injuries on the Eight Banners of Han and King Sanshun, 5,000 deaths and injuries on the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Sanqin cavalry, and 800 deaths and injuries on the Eight Banners. Now we still have more than 25,000 soldiers!"
Yue Le did not answer, but Abatai said the answer coldly in the upper head. The Manchu Eight Banners have always been used as a decisive force and a general reserve team. As a result, the Han army and Mongolian cavalry rushed forward, with heavy casualties. However, the real loss of the Manchu Eight Banners was to hit the spear head-on while rushing to the formation and only appeared by being hit by the last musket storm.
Seeing that Tan Tai was about to argue again, Abatai waved his hand and continued to say to himself:
"The emperor and the princes in front led the army into the pass, and they all won a great victory. They returned to the Qing Dynasty with countless gold, silver and treasures. But this time I led them, and you followed them, but they were so idiots. What will happen after you go back? Do you know what Hu Lihai, who has the white flag, has encountered in Shengjing? Could it be that you really don't know?"
After saying this, Tan Tai shuddered. When he returned from a great defeat, he was afraid that all the military achievements and wealth he had earned so hard to disappear. At that time, would he be like this little boy Hu Lihai, and was arranged by his own master to play in the forefront camp. Maybe he would even remind him in private, "Someone is brave and loyal, and he can be placed in the forefront when charging into the front line." If this is the case, life is worse than death.
The subordinates in the military tent, the governors and the nobles of Mongolia were all trembling in their hearts, and they couldn't care about anything when they were escaping, but now they remembered that sooner or later they would lead their troops back to the outside world. At that time, what should we do if we have a wealthy family and a prosperous future? The military law is harsh and everyone is thinking about it now.
"The Ming army suffered more casualties. I was a little nervous today. Now I think about it. His musket might not be able to fire ammunition. If we lead our troops back to fight, the outcome is still unknown. We will die 12,000, and the Ming army will die more than 6,000. Now we are 25,000 strong soldiers, and they are more than 10,000. The advantages of our Eight Banners soldiers are not only not small, but have become bigger."
General Abatai was ordered to sit there and talk and analyze each other's pros and cons.
"If it is fatigue, we are all exhausted. The Ming army is mostly infantry. After all, we are riding horses. After all, we are more physically strong. I will ask you, the current situation. If you go back outside the pass, you may be able to save the troops in your hands, but after you go back, can you continue to command this position? But after you fight the troops in front of you. Even if we take dozens of people and a few people back, it will be a great achievement and will be glorious in front of the emperor."
Even Tan Tai, who was the most fussy, looked thoughtful at this time. Abatai struck while the iron was hot and said:
"We have fought with Ming Kingdom for so many years, but have you ever seen such troops today during the day. It's too abnormal. In my opinion, the other party also relies on a bloody spirit. Today, we are looking at our army retreating first. Maybe we have already felt that our family will win and relax. Tomorrow we will pull out the camp as soon as possible and use the horsepower to attack. It must be unexpected. Their aura has been discharged. We will definitely win!"
There was no certain reason for these words. Instead, it was agitation and bewitching, but everyone in the tent was willing to listen to this. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Abatai waved his hand calmly, as if he was sure to win, and said with a smile:
"That group of Ming troops is also very powerful. At that time, I will not take any of the prisoners you capture, and I will make up for you..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly heard the noise outside the military tent and the Manchu and Mongolian army also demanded peace in the camp at night. Anyone who made noise was a serious crime. After all, there was a roar and a little noise in the dark, which was also a danger of bombing the camp and dispersing them.
But the constraints of the Tartars army were still doing well at this time. Relying on the harsh military laws and military training of national fishing and hunting, the camps at night were always quiet.
So everyone's faces changed color in the military tent, and Abatai stood up from his seat and said nervously:
"Everyone, don't be impatient, Yue Le, go and see what's going on."
Yue Le quickly clasped his fists and followed a few people and walked out of the tent with big strides. The butter candles were lit in the tent. It was originally dim and dark, but not long after Yue Le went out, the whole tent actually became a little bright. This was not the light in the tent, but the light outside the tent.
"Is it a fire?" Everyone in the military tent was surprised and thought it was troublesome. At this moment, you could hear a loud noise in the south. The sound was not too loud, but everyone could hear it was a sound coming from afar, but the sound must be very huge.
All kinds of visions made the people in the tent unable to sit still, and everyone was shocked. Just as they were about to rush out to take a look, Yue Le stumbled and ran in.
Now the tent is much brighter, and Yue Le's face can be seen clearly. Yue Le, who has always been called precocious and calm, had a gray and despair on his face, and there was no wound on his body, but he was trembling like a sieve. He opened his mouth several times and could not say anything.
Still Abatai couldn't stand it and shouted loudly on the top:
"Yuele, what happened? Tell me quickly!!"
"Ama, Ming army, to the east of our camp, there are Ming army..."
The Tartar camp outside had already become a gang, as if it was porridge. The Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who had just rested were awakened by the sudden sound and light, and came out of the camp to watch.
The sky at night was already red, and there were noisy people outside the camp, as if countless people were cheering and shouting there.
"It's a lucky chance to have such a result in this battle today. If you hadn't expressed your gratitude to the back team, you wouldn't have had such a good result!"
Zhao Neng said to Wang Tao opposite in the military tent in a tired voice that in the Jiaozhou Camp system, the appointment of the Qianzheng General of the Camp can only be made by Li Meng. Although Wang Tao made such a great contribution today, he was just a position in the chief position. Tonight he would get a big camp and break up and return to his team.
It may also be temporarily supplemented to the camp with heavy losses, but before Wang Tao's new appointment came, he still put the general manager and the one he could command tomorrow, but according to the reward and punishment rules of Jiaozhou camp, what Wang Tao deserves today's performance must be bright future.
General Zhao Neng called him here, thanked him alone and encouraged him a few words. After all, he had not established contact with the general at the moment, so he would still have to feel wronged Wang Tao for a few days.
However, there is also a compromise arrangement. The experimental camp led by Oman still lacks a deputy, so Wang Tao was transferred to serve as the leader. It is also considered to be a perfect person. Wang Tao is indeed an outstanding figure. Although he knows that he has made great contributions and has a bright future, he still adheres to his duty and stands straight opposite Zhao Neng.
Dengzhou Army General Zhao Neng suffered minor injuries during the hard battle this day, but he was more physically and mentally exhausted, so he also wanted to find someone to say something. Wang Tao was praised by Zhao Neng and answered:
"In that situation, everyone in Shandong knows what to do, but the officials stood up first and did what they should do. This is really an over-reward for the words of the lord."
Zhao Neng rubbed the part of his chest that was hit by a stray bullet through the plate armor, and said with a smile:
"You are not arrogant or impatient. You are very calm. If it weren't for the scene like today, you wouldn't be able to show a person like you. Do it well. Our Jiaozhou Camp lacks land, which is like you who are responsible, brave and able to figure things out."
Wang Tao stood at attention when he heard this. At this time, there were personal soldiers outside the camp who reported that the cavalry had always reported something. After hearing this, Wang Tao took the initiative to retreat.
The cavalry commander walked in with great strides and said:
"Sir. The cavalry provocate sent out was almost back at this time according to the pre-arrangement!"
Hearing this, he almost came back. Zhao Neng stood up from his seat with the pain and asked in a solemn voice:
"How many people didn't come back?"
The cavalry general replied:
"There are fifteen who have not returned, and these fifteen have been sent to the Tartar camp to monitor."
Zhao Neng sighed and whispered:
"Maybe I can't come back."
The battlefield obscurity and intelligence blockade of the cavalry are actually the cavalry of both sides intercepting and killing each other. These fifteen cavalry who did not come back in the scheduled time might have died there.
The distance between the two sides is only more than twenty miles, and the Tartars army also needs to cover the battlefield, which shows that the battle this day did not defeat the other party at all. The other party had the intention of making a comeback. In addition to the huge casualties today, there was also the consumption of ammunition. This time the expedition was relatively rapid, and many things were not fully prepared. Today's firearms and ammunition had experienced huge consumption, and if the war started tomorrow, it would probably not be able to hold on.
Moreover, the Tartar soldiers and horses have the advantage of cavalry's maneuver power, and the other hand, their chief generals are very old. The tactics they can use today are hard to say whether they will be useful tomorrow.
Zhao Neng really felt lonely. Today's big fight, the supplies eaten and used at night were transported from Shandong. There was no help from the northern Zhili area. Even the civilians sent by Jingzhou could be said to have been forced by force. Who did such a war fight? For whom did the Dengzhou army sacrifice their lives for?
The cavalry commander who came to report had already retreated. Zhao Neng pulled out the waist knife that was placed aside. The weapon made by the Weapon Manufacturing Bureau is indeed a good weapon. Today, he cut a person's head. The blade was not curled, and the blade was as bright as new. Zhao Neng slowly breathed and wiped the knife slowly with a piece of velvet cloth. The situation was so critical. What kind of situation should he encounter tomorrow? Perhaps...
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the footsteps outside the tent ringing rapidly. Several soldiers guarding outside the tent had already begun to ask loudly, but the answer was the cavalry commander who had just left. Then the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the cavalry commander ran in with surprise on his face.
The cavalry commander stood in front of Zhao Neng, and was out of breath. He ran for a few steps, but was so excited that he finally adjusted. He said in a rough manner:
"Sir, the fifteen explorers are back, and they are also the messenger of the general's personal soldiers. The general's troops have arrived north of the Tartar camp."
Zhao Neng first widened his eyes and looked incredible. Then he showed exactly the same ecstasy as the cavalry commander and said loudly:
"The messenger of the Grand Marshal is there, please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."
After saying a few words, his voice became a little hoarse. Now all the anxiety and fatigue disappeared, leaving only the excitement and excitement in his heart. The anxiety just now disappeared instantly. When the general came back, Zhao Neng immediately felt that all the difficulties in front of him were nothing.
A personal soldier walked into the military tent with a dusty look. Zhao Neng was still familiar with this person. He was born in the Dengzhou Army back then, and the general sent this person here, probably to make sure that both sides would confirm it, so as not to have any doubts and twists and turns out of thin air.
As soon as the officer entered the military tent, he saluted Zhao Neng and said:
"Sir. The general's troops have already blocked the retreat of the Tartars' troops. This time, the commander came to convey the general's order to dispatch troops. In the early morning of tomorrow, Lord Zhao asked his entire army to pull out the camp and go north twenty-three miles north, and attack the Tartars' army with the general's troops, so as to prevent a beast from leaving."
After saying that, Li Meng's personal military officer opened the wooden box on his waist and took out Li Meng's general order. Zhao Neng listened solemnly and then took the general order. After confirming, it was indeed the command of the general. Li Meng's personal military officer also wanted to act with the Dengzhou army. Zhao Nengke politely asked him to go down and rest quickly.
Before the news spread, it was quiet outside. Zhao Neng walked back and forth a few steps in the room, and suddenly stopped and ordered:
"Personal soldiers, each battalion passed the orders. The general has led his troops to block the retreat of the Tartars. He has sent someone to order our army to attack tomorrow, and each battalion will rest early tonight. After the great victory tomorrow, we will reward you again!"
The personal guards outside the tent had a reaction slower than usual. They were obviously incredible and shocked after hearing this news, and then they were extremely excited.
The personal soldiers outside were running or riding horses running toward their respective destinations. Someone started shouting loudly on the way, "The Grand Marshal is here!" "The Grand Marshal is here!", and the camp, which was about to calm down, slowly became turbulent.
Everyone is excited, everyone is ecstatic, the hard battle during the day brings fatigue, and the sadness brought by the death of comrades-in-arms disappears at this time. From Zhao Neng to the ordinary soldiers below, everyone feels full of strength. Tomorrow's battle will inevitably be a battle to win, and everyone feels that they have the backbone.
I don’t know who couldn’t help but walk out of the camp tent first and vent my excitement with loud shouts. The quiet request of the Jiaozhou Camp at night was not as perverted as other troops. Moreover, under such circumstances, such a big happy event really requires cheers and shouts.
But the soldiers walked out of the camp, but didn't know what to shout. Apart from the war-torn sentence "Jiaozhou Camp, move forward", they really didn't know what to say and shout in unison on weekdays.
But this confusion did not last long. Some people started to shout first, and others started shouting, but later they became everyone's shouting in unison. No one thought there was anything wrong with this.
At the beginning, someone shouted "Jiaozhou Camp is mighty and the Grand Marshal is mighty." After shouting a few words, it turned out to "Long live Jiaozhou Camp, the Grand Marshal is mighty and the Grand Marshal is mighty."
The last sentence became "Long live Jiaozhou Camp, Long live the Grand Marshal". Everyone was shouting loudly from the bottom of their hearts, extremely excited.
The entire Dengzhou military camp heard only the shouts of the generals from Long Live, which shook the earth. Even the Tartar military camp more than 20 miles away could vaguely hear the movement.
But the Tartar camp had time to take care of such movements. The highlights of torches on the top of the slope in the east became two, two turned into four, and rapidly expanded. In a blink of an eye, a huge light dragon appeared in front of them, and the night sky was suddenly red by the flames.
The divine weapons were like heaven, and the army was like a dragon, extremely majestic, and they came from the east of the Tartar camp.
The whole camp of Tartars was silent and had no reaction. They watched the army gradually approaching until they could see the big words on the other party's military flag with the light on the torches of the other party's soldiers:
Chapter completed!
