Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 108: Autumn troops on the battlefield

The autumn wind was bleak, carrying withered leaves flying, blowing the fiery red military flags and fluttering, and blowing the red tassels on the soldiers' helmets undulating like a burning flame.

The black armor merged into one piece, like a huge rock, as motionless as a mountain.

Look at the army in front of you now. Every one of them is strong and full of energy. Their armor is bright and neat, their five eyes are polished brightly by the machine in their hands, and the shields they carry on their backs are extremely strong.

This kind of square shield was used to defend against Manchu bows and arrows, but at the same time, it could also be used as a stand for the five-eyed machine when placed on the ground.

The Luoyang shovel soldiers are really majestic with their five-meter-high Luoyang shovel. Inside the shield on their backs, there is a steel knife slung across their backs, which makes them even more impressive.

Luoyang shovel soldiers account for one-third, and they are also sword and shield soldiers.

Because the Luoyang shovel can not only rob tombs, but also dig small horse pits. And when the enemy cavalry charges, it can also be used as a spear to resist horses. It is really a multi-purpose magic weapon.

Each soldier also has a long cloth bag slung across his body. It is the Red Army dry ration bag that you are familiar with. There is a bag that can hold five days of rations, in order to reduce the amount of use by civilians when they go into battle. Doesn’t it cost money to hire militiamen?

There is also a cloth bag with a rice bowl on your waist. If you don’t bring your own food, how can you do that?

Standing on the commander's platform, Lu Mou asked loudly: "What is the purpose of your army?"

All the soldiers shouted angrily: "Defend the city and annihilate the Manchus."

"Okay. Not only must you be good at defending the city, but you must also master field combat skills, kill Jiannu, and protect the Ming Dynasty."

All the soldiers shouted together again: "Kill the slaves and protect the Ming Dynasty."

Then Lu Mou put his hands behind his back and never said a word, just staring at the tens of thousands of soldiers below.

Hu Weijun was confused, what was the prince doing?

Lu Mou was inspecting the physical fitness of the soldiers.

Don't think that the way to check physical fitness is to see how many pounds he can lift. The best way to check your physical fitness and toughness is to stand motionless.

For a quarter of an hour, some soldiers began to sweat in the rustling autumn wind.

At a quarter of an hour, some soldiers began to move their eyes randomly, showing anxiety.

After three quarters of an hour, some soldiers felt that the armor on their bodies was heavy.

For four-quarters of an hour, some soldiers felt that the shields on their backs were as heavy as mountains. They kept thinking about throwing away the shields on their bodies, even the bags of dry food, and abandoning the guy eating on their waists.

At five-quarters of an hour, the first soldier fell to the ground. But he stubbornly tried to get up.

Lu Mou was very satisfied. This will be an army that is as immovable as a mountain and as aggressive as fire.

"Everyone is welcome. Let's jog three times around the school grounds, and then we will add food as a reward today."

The bodies were stiff and they needed to jog to activate their blood circulation. If they were disbanded, the soldiers would of course collapse, and some of the soldiers would be useless.

In the evening, all the soldiers were served two dishes, meat dishes.

The company commander sat opposite the soldiers. Today, there are four dishes on their table.

The queue leader has three dishes, and the squad leader has two dishes and one dish of sauce.

Lu Mou wanted to use this method to cultivate the soldiers' sense of hierarchy, that is, to use the dishes of the hierarchy to make the soldiers greedy.

Before the company commander moves his chopsticks, he must say: "Are you greedy? If you kill ten enemies, you can eat food like mine. Otherwise, you can be your leader." After saying this standard After a while, he ordered: "Let's eat."

Of course, this is only the case in normal times. There is no such thing as so much care during the war, when you can truly share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

At that time, if you dare to do something special, you have to be careful about someone saping you.

Four dishes and one soup, this is the top configuration of the military camp. Lu Mou tore the snow-white steamed buns into pieces with his hands and ate them extremely sweetly.

"The steamed buns made from new wheat are so delicious. This makes me feel the joy of harvest all the time."

Hu Weijun said: "Steamed buns are good, but they are only suitable for us to eat in the military camp. In a real war, big cakes are the best. They don't take up space, and they will make you hungry after eating them. A soldier can carry a few big cakes on his back. Kill the enemy for five or six days.”

Lu Mou nodded: "This is one of the reasons why in the world, the north always conquers the south. It is the durability of wheat flour that is superior to the rice in the south. The northerners have big cakes in mind, and they will always chase you, even if you cook There is no time. Not five or six days, just one or two days, you don't even have the strength to escape. That's why there is an invincible man who holds pancakes in his mouth, holds a big knife in his hand, sings the song of sesame pancakes, and drives Meng Yuan out of the Central Plains Thinking of the Shaobing Song of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, everyone's blood boiled again.

After inspecting Tongzhou, the next stop is Sanhe. A division is also stationed here in Sanhe, and then Jizhou, Zunhua.

The third division was stationed in Zunhua and Jizhou.

What Lu Mou and Li Yan studied was that the troops should be lighter in front and heavier in the rear, and at the critical moment, Zunhua was prepared to give up.

If the Manchus and Qing invaders invade again and few people come, then they will simply abandon Zunhua, let the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners come in, and then close the door and beat the dogs.

But if there are many people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they will immediately reinforce Zunhua and Jizhou and resolutely defend the enemy from outside the country.

Therefore, Zunhua now has fewer soldiers than Jizhou, and only one regiment of the Third Division has been released.

In Lu Mou's organization, there are no brigades in the military division, but directly regiments, large regiments, ten battalions, plus logistics, etc., totaling 3,300 people.

Three thousand strong soldiers, in fact, as long as they don't give way intentionally, Zunhua is invincible, because Zunhua was not originally built as a residential city, it was a military fortress.

Entering Zunhua City, the commander of the Third Division, Lu Chenglong, was already here to greet them.

Not talking nonsense, after some greetings, he walked to the top of the city and faced the strong wind blowing from the north of the Great Wall, which was already carrying a chill. Looking at the majestic mountains of Yanshan Mountain in the distance, Lu Mou sighed with emotion: "Autumn is high again and horses are fat. It's the right time." It’s a good time to take advantage of the trend and go south.”

Lu Zilong couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, there has been no burial in the Qing Dynasty for two years. Can you come this year?"

Lu Mou smiled: "They will definitely come because I stimulated them."

Lu Zilong didn't understand, so Lu Mou told him that in order to delay time, he sent people to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty: "They think that we are so weak that we can only survive by negotiating peace. He should see that we have a great Ming Dynasty." They were already besieged on all sides and were in danger. Originally, they were worried about the profound foundation of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to swallow the elephant. So they adopted the method of exhausting the Ming Dynasty, constantly invading the invaders and weakening the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the rogue bandits are about to attack the capital. The capital has been isolated from the south of the Yangtze River by the rogue bandits. Only Zhili Province is left. They are no longer afraid of the Ming Dynasty. As for the rogue bandits, they are even less afraid.

My peace talks to buy time increased their confidence in occupying the Central Plains. Dorgon will definitely seize our capital before the rogues enter the capital, and use Zhili as a foothold to sweep across China. Therefore, he must first defeat the bandits, occupy the capital, regard it as orthodox, and then command the whole country. "

Everyone agreed.

"So, we must prepare for war now and prepare to face the Manchu invaders."

Seeing the worried captain, Lu Mou smiled and said: "Don't worry, your three thousand people will have no problem guarding Zunhua. However, I don't necessarily want you to defend Zunhua. I ask you to protect Zunhua under the circumstances I think." I will give up on Zunhua."

The regiment leader immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, our regiment will stick to Zunhua and never let a Jiannu pass."

Lu Mou shook his head: "Standing to Zunhua means sticking to Zunhua, but giving up Zunhua also means giving up the strategic goal of Zunhua. Then he looked at the division commander Lu Zilong: "Don't be unconvinced. I will tell you the truth today.

It is obvious to all that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful, and it cannot be eliminated within a short period of time. In fact, as long as we can maintain the status quo and allow me time to deal with the rogue Li Chuang, I will be happy.

But now that the Manchus have arrived, I will give them a heavy blow to make them fear our Ming Dynasty again, so that they will not dare to peek at our Ming Dynasty again within a year or two, and buy time for me to deal with Li Chuang. "

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenglong asked: "My lord, how do you want to fight the future battles?"

Lu Mou looked to the north with confidence and told him his strategic plan.

Lu Zilong replied without hesitation: "Okay, Your Majesty, don't worry, we will fully comply with Your Majesty's arrangements."

"So, I now order the entire regiment to start digging tunnels."

"What? Digging a tunnel?"

"Yes, we are going to dig tunnels in Zunhua, and then hide food, water, and soldiers in the tunnels. As long as I, Fei Ge, pass the order, you will pretend to be defeated and then hide in the tunnels. At that time, we will agree on a time, and we will cooperate with each other to seize it again. Zunhua, close the dog-fighting door."

Lu Zilong's eyes were bright: "I will definitely do it according to the prince's method."

With the method and confidence, Lu Mou once again looked to the northeast: "Dorgon, do you want the whole army to press forward, or do you want to test it again? But no matter what, I sincerely hope that you will send your ass up." , let me give him a good beating."
