The devil is coming

Chapter 551 Rush!
Guo Dong and Xu An became soldiers;
First, because in the battle of Dongshan Fort, Uncle Zheng planted his flag and pushed his chariot forward. Although he defeated the Chu army in a long and fierce battle, he suffered huge casualties;
Of course, the above is not the main reason. The real reason is that with the batches of high-quality soldiers intercepted from the rear and personally controlled by Jin Shuke and Blind Man, the expansion of Yuan Xue's navy has also begun.
It can be regarded as a kind of reward based on merit. An old soldier becomes a corps commander, a corps commander becomes a captain, a senior soldier becomes a centurion, and a centurion becomes a captain.
Only by leading the old with the new can initial combat effectiveness be quickly formed. In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible to achieve the record of the first generation of Zhenbei Hou from 50 to [-] a hundred years ago. Therefore, the old soldiers died in battle and the new soldiers were replenished. A necessity.
The combat effectiveness on paper will inevitably decrease, but this is a pain that must be experienced.
This is not just the case for the Xue Navy. In fact, the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army have fought so many fierce battles in the past few years. It is actually very serious for their old soldiers to be replaced by new ones.
Therefore, under these inevitable conditions, the reputation of an army will become extremely important.
Even in later generations, the Heroic Company, Steel Company, and Tiger Regiment will still be preserved, because a unit with a glorious record has a historical heritage, and it can quickly give new soldiers a sense of pride and belonging, and these, in On the battlefield, it will transform into... courage.
Courage can make up for the lack of equestrian skills and the lack of experience to a certain extent. It is like a halo. It has no specific effect, but it can make you better than before.
The Zhenbei Army is an army with a heritage. Before Jingnan Marquis emerged, the Yan cavalry was the best in the world, and the Zhenbei cavalry was the best in the Yan Dynasty. This is a generally accepted evaluation.
Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that the leader of the barbarians who accompanied the barbarian king in Beifeng County, when he saw the Yan Army cavalry showing up and announcing his family status, he would also deliberately tell the order of the auxiliary troops he originally belonged to in Beifeng County. .
As for the Snow Navy, half of it relied on its invincibility since its formation, and the other half relied on Uncle Hirano's personal prestige.
In the past few years, Prince Hirano was almost never absent from the wars commanded by King Jingnan;
Because King Jingnan killed his entire family, he was deliberately forgotten by the people, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it. Therefore, a large part of the glory was transferred to Hirano Bo.
With the rise of the head of Guizhou, the people of Guizhou turned around, made great achievements, and were awarded titles for their military achievements;
Coupled with the personal heroism of robbing the princess,
The words "Jean Hirano" have an unimaginable attraction in the auxiliary barracks.
When the blind man and Jin Shuke were intercepting the flow at the rear, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians heard that Uncle Hirano was recruiting troops, and they immediately crowded over, almost squeezing their heads to pieces.
Guo Dong and Xu An were originally auxiliary soldiers, but now they have become regular soldiers.
However, whether it was luck or unlucky, they entered the town led by Jin Shuke, and Jin Shuke's town was mobilized to cooperate with Gou Moli's first town and began to march westward.
Also traveling together were the Gongwang Department and the Gongsun Zhi Department.
In other words, after the battle against Chu began, the Eastern Front Army, which had done the most meritorious service and performed most brilliantly, had most of its elite troops withdrawn, and all three generals left. In this case, Although the remaining troops of the Eastern Front are still quite large, they are no longer suitable for any more targeted combat missions. When the battle against Chu enters a new stage, they will serve as the rear of the army, unless they encounter a real enemy. In extreme situations such as the previous collapse, the Eastern Front Army will almost never participate in the war again, but will calmly start to maintain logistical stability.
The mobilization of the Eastern Front Army was hidden in a new round of mobilization of the entire army to attack Chu. Because of the strategic contraction of the Chu people, the Yan army spent almost no effort cleaning the remaining military forts. The location and configuration of soldiers and horses need to be rearranged.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, under the control of King Jingnan, everything seemed to be in order, but the civilians in the rear were busy again during this period.
New camps, new settlements, new paving,
As well as various siege equipment that will most likely not be used but will still be built to confuse the Chu people.
You know, this is a battlefield,
For those who don’t know, they think that Jindong is carrying out large-scale production and construction.
On the Chu people's side, they were also adjusting their arrangements and began to deploy a new line of defense based on Zhennanguan Pass.
A new round of military showdown between the two countries is about to begin.
Uncle Zheng was not in a hurry to join the large army. Instead, he used the certificates stamped with the king's seal to draw [-] elite soldiers from various generals, and then directly led the newly assembled troops. , running towards the west.
Most of the soldiers were confused and couldn't figure out which game they were playing.
They are all real veterans under the command of various generals. Some generals even directly sent their own personal guards.
No one dared to hide their secrets. First of all, the number of troops mobilized was not too many. For these general soldiers, it was not a big deal;
Secondly, no one dared to play tricks on King Jingnan and try to make up for the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Elites are elites, and arrogant soldiers are also arrogant soldiers.
But when King Jingnan and Ye Bo appeared in front of them,
Uncle Ping Ye drew his barbarian sword and signaled them to march out of the stronghold and head west.
They didn't even have the guts to ask more questions.
The battlefield was clearly in the east, but everyone headed west, west, and west again.
If it weren't for the belief in Hirano's prestige,
If it were other generals who commanded them like this,
Are they afraid that they will think that this general is leading them to become deserters?
Fortunately, thanks to the Yan people's logistics supply line covering the entire rear, the various armies did not have to worry about supply problems at all when they headed west.
After a long march,
at last,
Wangjiang,
Appeared in front of me.
.........
Jade City is still the same Jade City;
Jade City is no longer the Jade City.
Once upon a time, Yupan City and Yingdu faced each other across the river and were famous for their flower boats and dancing girls.
Yingdu is rich as it should be. As the capital of the Situ family, it has been in operation for hundreds of years and is a political, military and economic center. It is really a ghost if Yingdu cannot develop.
In comparison, the prosperity of Yupan City truly reveals its pure beauty.
Literati and poets from Jin region all like to visit Yupan City, where they can compose poems across the river or drink on the boats.
When Yao Zizhan traveled to Jin Dynasty, he once left a message: "There is no need to care about Yingcheng, my heart is on a jade plate."
Yao Zizhan is famous for his romantic style, but he is also famous for being picky. If Yupan City is really not good, he, a person who is used to the romance of the south of the Yangtze River, will never go like this. Admire.
Unfortunately,
After years of wars and endless wars, Yupan City still looks extremely deserted when you walk in it, even though the city walls have been repaired.
The only popularity outside the city is because the logistics supply line of the front army passes here.
Walking on the city wall, Uncle Zheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I lament the loneliness and trough of a famous city. Sometimes, it is not uncontrollable to be emotionally moved by the scene. It just depends on whether you have the spare time. And now, at least these days, Uncle Zheng has the spare time.
Then, let’s be a little pretentious while busy.
"Ugh………"
There was another person beside him who also sighed, it was Gou Moli.
Uncle Zheng was amused.
Road:
"You sigh like shit."
With the current appearance of Yupan City, you, the Barbarian King, must have more than [-]% of the pot.
"Uncle, have you been here before?"
"This is my first time in the city." Uncle Zheng said.
During the first Battle of Wangjiang, Uncle Zheng was watching a play in Shengle City.
In the second Battle of Wangjiang, as King Jingnan took command again, Uncle Zheng was ordered to lead his army. Soon he was arranged to cross the river from the lower reaches and attack the rear.
After guarding the Snow Customs and coming back, it was time to massacre the prisoners.
At that time, the walls of Yupan City were filled with the corpses of Chu people, and Uncle Zheng was too lazy to dirty his boots.
It is said that when the Yan army entered Yupan City later, they found that it was full of human bones. When the Chu people were holding on, they ate two-legged sheep because of lack of food.
Therefore, the massacre of those [-] Qingluan troops was not really an injustice.
The last time I passed Wangjiang, I deliberately avoided Yupan City because Xiong Liqing was also traveling with me.
When he came back, Uncle Zheng was in a hurry to go back to prepare for the battle against Chu, so he still couldn't visit Yupan City.
This time, it's really the first time.
"Uncle, in the old Yupan City, if you stood on the street and took a deep breath, you could smell all kinds of rouge. On the river, you could taste the smell of wine even if you picked up a handful of water.
At that time, Yupan City was a really good place. If this city were to be taken out alone, it would really be no less inferior to Jiangnan, the country of Qian.
but,
It is precisely because it is now desolate that it has a strange plot and atmosphere;
In the eyes of subordinates,
Uncle, you must have come in specifically to have a look just to pursue that feeling.
This,
It is also a kind of beauty. "
Therefore, you have to admire the learning and thinking ability of this truly outstanding person. "Beauty" is a habitual recognition between Uncle Zheng and the devil kings. In normal times, they occasionally talk about it, but Gou Moli is already familiar with it. , and can still use it.
Uncle Zheng was noncommittal;
He just silently took out his big Zhonghua iron box, took out a cigarette, and bit it in his mouth.
"Uncle, the troops and horses we brought this time are quite mixed."
The chaos of soldiers and horses brought this time was beyond the reach of even Ganren.
But Uncle Zheng didn’t take it seriously.
Road:
"When we get to the place, there will be no more trouble."
The guys took the boat down and found themselves in a situation where they were "besieged on all sides". In addition to clinging to each other, they could only cling to each other.
Besides, the banner of King Jingnan is suppressed there, and Uncle Zheng's identity is displayed here. He is really not afraid of being unable to control these complex soldiers.
Gou Moli agreed and smiled:
"So sometimes when I think about it, I deserve to be killed. Back then, they managed to find an assassin-faced husband, but he was tortured to death by one of their own people.
otherwise,
With Ganren's national power, how could it have fallen to this point? "
"Some people look at the fate of the country over the past century, and some people look at their own power and position, with different emphasis." Uncle Zheng said.
"Uncle, you are right."
Uncle Zheng took out the huozhezi and lit a cigarette.
Road:
"The news from the Secret Intelligence Department is that Mr. Zhong, the old man of Qian Kingdom, may have disappeared, but Qian Ren has not announced his death secretly."
"No wonder Ganren is holding back on the three sides. My subordinates thought earlier that we were fighting so fiercely with the Chu people here. No matter how stupid Ganren is, he wouldn't not make some noise on the three sides, right? It turns out it's because of this.
My subordinates didn’t believe in such things as national destiny before, but now they somewhat believe in it. Otherwise, why would the Yan people keep winning when they keep betting?
There should be no threat to the Nagan people. There is no tall one left, and the tallest one among the dwarfs is gone, hehe. "
"How can you always walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? After this attack on Chu, I probably won't gamble again."
Because the one who is qualified and capable of putting the entire country on the gambling table,
I can't hold it anymore.
"Uncle, look, a team is coming." Gou Moli pointed to the outside of the city and said.
"Report, uncle, the fifth prince wants to see you."
A sentry came in to report.
Lao Wu, he really talks about etiquette. A dignified prince actually asked to see him when he saw him.
However, this is also where Lao Wu is smart. The status of the prince is indeed extremely prominent, but it also depends on where he is.
"Please come up, Your Highness Five."
"Here!"
After a while
The fifth prince, wearing a set of shabby gowns, hurriedly climbed onto the city wall.
He didn't look like this, he wasn't pretending to be a clown just to see himself.
Because Uncle Zheng discovered that the fifth prince was completely tanned, and there were spots on his exposed skin, which were the sequelae of sunburn.
This means that during these days by Wangjiang River, His Highness the Fifth Prince was not sitting in the Yingduya Building enjoying the flattery of local officials, but was actually doing things.
A prince who can work down-to-earth,
Uncle Zheng was thinking about whether he should pay special attention to Xiao Liuzi when he wrote to him next time.
Of course, Uncle Zheng also knew that Ji Laoliu should know what kind of quality his fifth brother was, and he could not really be regarded as a carpenter.
"I have met His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Uncle Zheng nodded.
He is the leader of the army, and he is leading his troops here for the next battle. In theory, he is still wearing armor, so he does not need to salute. Of course, even without these prerequisites, you ask the current Uncle Zheng to kneel to this prince. , he can't do it, and others don't dare to accept it.
"Uncle Hiranye has worked hard. Although I am in Wangjiang, I can always hear that Uncle Hiranye has made another series of illustrious military exploits on the front line. Alas, Uncle Hiranye is really the pillar of my great Yan."
Uncle Zheng immediately raised his hand and stopped the fifth prince from talking.
The Optimizing Pillar was used appropriately on King Jingnan;
But he, Zheng Fan, couldn't afford it.
To say such a strong compliment means that the person has something to ask of you.
Under Uncle Zheng’s gaze,
Gou Moli and the guards retreated.
The fifth prince came closer and said to Zheng Fan;
"Uncle Ping Ye is here with his army this time, and our newly built navy in Dayan is currently anchored in the upstream water village thirty miles away from Yupan City.
Cheng Min dared to ask, is the dike about to burst? "
The fifth prince did not know the battle plan beforehand; it was even very likely that no one would tell him about the plan when the river work was in progress.
Tian Wujing had been preparing for this attack on Chu for several years, so he would naturally entrust this project to someone he could trust.
But the fifth prince was personally involved in it, and he had already dabbled in this aspect, and he was willing to study it.
For the ordinary soldiers and civilians working on the river repair work, they cannot decipher the deeper meaning, because on the surface, it seems that they are indeed repairing and strengthening the river channel.
But the fifth prince was good at learning and figuring things out, and he saw something was wrong himself.
Uncle Zheng smiled and said:
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Uncle Ben, it's inconvenient to say."
"I know, I know, but... Uncle Hirano, I just want to ask you for something."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"After the embankment is broken in the next few days, the river will inevitably change its course. Since ancient times, the river's change of course will inevitably poison the people along the coast. The impact on the harvest will be minimal. The displacement is small. The key is that many people are likely to be swept away by the river without any precautions. Walk.
Although the people in the lower reaches of Wangjiang River are all the people of Jin, but since Jin belongs to me, Dayan, the people of Jin are actually the people of my Dayan, and they are also the people of my father.
Therefore, I just want to ask Mr. Hirano to evacuate the people along the downstream coast and give them a chance to survive. "
hear this,
Uncle Zheng didn't have many moved emotions.
He just looked at the fifth prince in slight surprise.
immediately,
Uncle Zheng shook his head,
Road:
"No."
"Cheng Min knows that this is difficult for someone to do. The military is dangerous and dangerous, and Cheng Min is not familiar with it. However, I just want to try and do my best."
"Does His Majesty the Fifth Prince know that the frontline troops have been busy for so long and made so many sacrifices just for what I did in Wangjiang in the past few days?"
It is no exaggeration to say that the Yan army's previous siege and fortification, wear and tear, were all about creating the fog of war.
"Yes………"
"Your Highness's heart is good, I admire it, but evacuating the people will definitely make Chu people's spies notice, and it is even possible that the spies will have direct insight into our army's plan.
This battle is all about surprise and speed. Uncle Ben is not willing to take risks, and it is impossible for him to take risks.
Because Uncle Ben’s own safety doesn’t matter, because Uncle Ben has long been prepared to dedicate everything to Dayan!
but,
If this affects the overall situation of the attack on Chu and the national war, the price will not be comparable to the damage to the people along the lower reaches. "
It is best to set off immediately after the embankment is broken and the water level reaches the conditions where the navy can move.
The later the Chu people know about this, the more security they will have.
This is not a cavalry battle. You can rely on your own mobility to play a hide-and-seek game with the Chu people who don’t have many horses. This time, you and your soldiers and horses will enter by boat. If the Chu people know in advance, it will be done. Get ready, Uncle Zheng is the turtle caught in the urn.
"Ugh."
The fifth prince nodded and no longer insisted.
With emotion:
"I just want the people to suffer less."
Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand and hooked the fifth prince's shoulder.
laughed:
"Your Highness, logically speaking, it's not my place to say this."
"Ok?"
"It's more appropriate for you, because your surname is Ji. You should also know how much I, Dayan, have paid for this national war. We cannot afford to lose this battle. If something goes wrong, , Dayan Sheji, maybe just..."
"I know, I know."
Uncle Zheng nodded and patted the fifth prince on the shoulder.
Maybe the fifth prince has experienced the suffering of the people these days, so he naturally has a touch of compassion. Fortunately, he is not pedantic.
at this time,
I recalled in my mind before I left,
What King Jingnan said to himself,
At that time, I actually asked the same question as the fifth prince. Of course, what Uncle Zheng asked was definitely not as straightforward as the fifth prince.
but,
King Jingnan's answer was extremely straightforward, without even the slightest attempt to conceal it;
他 说:
For us,
If Dayan is gone, what use will all the people in the world have?
----
Ah, after persisting for so many days, my schedule has been reversed to a very embarrassing point. I will not set the alarm clock when I go to bed later, and I will get up to type when I am full, so there will be no updates tonight, so don’t wait.
Just take a half-day off to adjust and hug everyone!
