Chapter 56 The Southern Battle
Yang Zhong finally decided that no matter what, he should finish what he was doing first and complete your mission before thinking about anything else.
Even if your Majesty blames him by then, he has at least completed your mission. I hope your Majesty will give him a lighter punishment because of his merit!
After Yang Zhong made up his mind, he immediately devoted himself to mining ores and managing the affairs of the Southern Barbarians, step by step according to the plan to consolidate Xia's rule over the island!
On the other side, a few days later, Yang Song also learned about Yang Zhong's experience from Chen Ping's information!
Yang Song was in the study, looking at the report that Chen Ping had just submitted to him. It clearly recorded Yang Zhong's every word, every move, and even his final cry without tears.
The overwhelming relief is clearly depicted!
Yang Song shook the report in a funny way, smiled at Chen Pi and said, "Chen Ping, tell me, how should I 'deal with' Yang Zhong?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "disposal". Who is Chen Ping? He knows what is elegant when he hears it! He immediately replied.
"Back to you, Director Yang has performed your task perfectly. I recommend that Director Yang should be awarded a medal of honor!"
When Yang Song heard Chen Ping's words, he laughed loudly and said: "Haha~, that's right! Chen Ping, I'm just dictating it, please take note of it!"
"I obey!" Chen Ping accepted the order, then picked up a pen and paper from the desk at the side and prepared it, waiting for Yang Song's next oral instructions.
Yang Song walked back and forth in the outer hall with his hands behind his back, organized his words, and spoke in a serious voice.
"Yang Zhong, who is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and fiercely loyal, has devoted himself to completing the important tasks entrusted to him by the Xia Kingdom while serving as the director of the Department of Administration! After being recommended by Chen Ping and reviewed by Gu Zhi, he was awarded a special
The 'Contribution' level honorary medal is to encourage him, and I hope he can continue his efforts and serve the country with deeds!"
After Chen Ping recorded Yang Song's oral instructions, he stood up, bowed and praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
What Yang Zhong was worried about was nothing more than a trivial matter in Yang Song's opinion. Although the law was insurmountable, Yang Zhong did not break the law. It was just a beautiful misunderstanding!
So what if Yang Zhong becomes the 'master' of these southern barbarians? Is there anything else he can do, just by relying on these natives?
So Yang Song felt relieved, maybe it would be better this way. After Yang Zhong finished handling the matter on Feilong Island, he would still come back to Tianqi City, and the natives could continue to mine minerals according to Yang Song's plan!
Moreover, Yang Song also awarded Yang Zhong a 'Contribution' level medal of honor. This is not only because of this contribution, but also as an affirmation of his hard work in the past!
This is also for other officials to see, so that they know that as long as they work diligently and serve the public health wholeheartedly, he, the monarch, will see it and will reward them!
…
Southern battlefield! Ever since he formulated the whirlpool tactics, Zhu Cheng's hard days have come!
As a squadron leader of a light cavalry, Zhu Cheng did not have his men dispersed like the squadron leaders of the other two formations.
He was not mixed into a close combat squadron or a long-range attack squadron. He still led his light cavalry squadron, but that doesn't mean he was relaxed!
Ever since he was assigned to the southern front, he has never had a moment of peace. Not a moment of peace is not a description, but a real lack of even a moment of leisure!
Fortunately, his boss is still his captain, responsible for commanding a team!
It's a pity that the boss's boss is not Qi Jun, the commander of the light cavalry formation, but Liu Yan, the commander of the melee formation. But there is no way, there is nothing so perfect in the world!
He patrols everywhere early every morning with thirty-five light cavalry to prevent some blind natives from wandering around. Once encountered, those who can be dealt with will rush forward to kill them. If they encounter those who cannot be dealt with, so far,
Never encountered it before!
When the infantry begins to attack, they will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the two wings of the infantry, ensuring that the infantry can kill the enemy with confidence!
When every battle is about to end, he has to look for the right opportunity to cut off the enemy's retreat to ensure that no one can escape and capture as much as possible!
The most important thing is that even the finishing touches must be carried out by light cavalry, not cleaning the battlefield, but dealing with the useless old, weak, sick and disabled!
The reason is, because of their high mobility, they can easily catch up with the advancing infantry after dealing with the follow-up problems!
The infantrymen are responsible for escorting the prisoners and moving the front line forward. After all, they only have two legs and cannot come as fast as four-legged ones like them.
As for cleaning the battlefield, each team now has no free time to do this. They can only pile them together hastily, and follow the old, weak, sick and disabled of the tribe to add a conspicuous billowing black smoke to the wasteland!
Sometimes Zhu Cheng would wonder when the days like this would end while he was galloping on his horse!
Daily killings and high-intensity maneuvers have made these warriors who used to vomit at the sight of blood now look like machines that can only kill.
There are no expressions, no complaints, and no mercy. All they have is waving swords in their hands. Ruthless and ruthless is the best way to describe what they are like now!
The daily fatigue allowed them to sleep particularly soundly when they rested at night. As for preventing the enemy from sneak attacks at night, the infantry was responsible for it!
Ever since Zhu Cheng came to the wilderness in the south, none of the native people he saw would go out at night. They all stayed in simple camps!
But now, these natives are also guarding the camp to prevent Zhu Cheng and others from sneak attacks! After all, there is no airtight wall in the world!
No matter how perfect the tactics were, some of the natives still escaped due to insufficient troops, so other tribes behind were prepared!
Zhu Cheng looked at the camp in front of him. All the natives were unable to retreat, relying on simple fences to defend the soldiers guarding the camp.
Today is only the sixth day of executing the whirlpool tactic, and these natives have already received the news and are prepared.
But because too many natives were not allowed to escape, these tribes were still unaware of the power of the guard camp and believed that they could defend themselves against the invading 'tribe' by relying on their own strength and geographical location!
Zhu Cheng's light cavalry is a scout and a mobile force. He will not be stupid enough to let the light cavalry attack the prepared camp. This is not brave and unnecessary! Such tough bones are the time for the infantry to show off their skills.
He just surrounded this medium-sized camp to prevent the enemy from escaping.
As for tactics like surrounding three Jueyi, it is impossible to implement at all, because they can't even surround one side now, let alone three sides, so they can only circle around the camp!
According to the pre-war regulations and the combat rules when encountering medium-sized tribes, Zhu Cheng notified the two adjacent teams on the left and right, as well as the formation commander Liu Yan. As for their immediate superiors, they knew what was going on here earlier.
Got it!
In less than a day, the two adjacent teams not far apart rushed over. Of course Liu Yan, the team leader, also came.
At this time, the entire south was gathered in this place, with enough combat power for a military formation.
At this point, everything is ready, just waiting for the confrontation!
Chapter completed!
