Chapter 25: Wind and Rain (25)(3/3)
No one replied, Xu Shiying nodded at the beginning, Shan Tonghai was not there, Chai Xiaohe was not familiar with military strategy.
Seeing this, Zhang Xing no longer hesitated, but stood up: "Everyone, I just didn't finish what I said. It's not too late to tell everyone. Now the imperial army has turned back, and has invaded our territory, burning and killing us.
We have already moved forward to plunder. On the one hand, we have to shoot the arrow on the string. If we try to avoid and hesitate, it will only weaken the morale of the army. On the other hand, we must achieve results and explain to the people of Qiaojun. We must also prevent them from taking advantage of the situation and continue to move forward.
Go north and continue to harm the people under our rule... Therefore, don't hesitate any longer in this battle. I will give the order. If the imperial army does not come, we will cross the river and fight him! The whole army will start after breakfast. According to Li Ding's arrangement, today
We must cross the river to fight!"
The rain was already heavy at this time, but everyone didn't care. Instead, they responded loudly and shouted in the rain. Many people had long wanted to fight, but after a lot of trouble, they didn't dare to stir up the topic. But now that the overall situation has been decided, they couldn't help but feel excited.
There were also many people who were actually unwilling to fight, but at this time the military order had been issued, and they all shouted loudly in response, determined to fight.
Of course, Wang Zhuo, who looked at Zhang Shizhao with a smile on his face like Niu Dugong and started to slap the case, couldn't help but feel confused.
Not to mention anything else, half an hour later, Han Erlang, who was among the first batch of people to cross the river camp drawn by lot, and who was silent throughout this chaotic confrontation, returned to the camp and asked his deputy Zhang Wulang to gather troops and horses.
Then he climbed onto the wooden platform in the small camp to give a speech before the battle. Han Erlang's speech before the battle was always different from others.
"Brothers, we are about to set out to fight."
Han Erlang had his hands behind his back and a serious expression. Although it was raining, he could clearly see the various but excited faces below, and then he just gave serious instructions.
"But before that, you must do a good inspection according to what I usually teach you...Be sure to wear your boots, and don't throw them away when crossing the river. The Liuhe boots under your feet are your biggest support; the same goes for your coir raincoat. Before the battle,
You must wear them properly when marching, and you are not allowed to take them off without permission. Marching is a little tiring, but you can save a lot of energy in the battle formation. Don't throw away food and water, and don't drink raw water! Living water is dirty on rainy days!
"As for after crossing the river..."
At this point, Han Erlang suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth, because he knew a lot of marching experience. Even Mei Yu, who saw the Jianghuai River for the first time, could quickly sum up the experience, but he really didn't know how to attack after crossing the river, because he had never brought any troops with him.
The team attacked.
But soon, facing countless expectant and nervous eyes, Han Erlang still gave his own experience: "After crossing the river, you just follow me! Wherever I, Han Er, go, how can I
Can I let you fall in front of me?!"
On May 15th, in the afternoon, Mang Jingang, Han Erlang, Liu Heifu, Jia Wugen, and Wang Xiongdan each led their base camps to launch from five places (two pontoons, three ferries) at the same time and cross the Whirlpool River.
