A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 284 It's Time
On the fifth day of the first month of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou completed the reorganization of the last more than 2000 new troops.

This time with Wang Dou in the battle, there are still hundreds of soldiers in the army, but because of Wen Fangliang, Zhong Xiancai's second department suffered heavy casualties, and all the soldiers in their department have been converted into soldiers.There used to be more than 300 soldiers in the battalion, but now there are only more than 200 left. This time they also came to Liujingzhai with Wang Dou, and were led by the former deputy general.

Although Zhong Tiaoyang is still in Zanhuang County, Wang Dou issued an order on this day to promote Zhong Tiaoyang as Chief Qian, Gaogui as Deputy Chief Qian, and General Manager of the Battalion to expand to General Chief of War Soldiers. The old army served as an officer, and there were also four generals under his command.Since Zhong Tiaoyang is recovering from his wounds in Zanhuang, Gaogui is acting as the military affairs agent for the time being.

The remaining more than 1000 new troops were all used as supply soldiers, new officers were appointed, and a new supply qianzong was formed.

Wang Dou considered again and again, and appointed Sun Sanjie, the former general manager of the second department, as the general manager of the supply department.

Wang Dou also decided that in the future, within the battalion headquarters, there will no longer be a separate thousand general supply team, and all vehicles in the army will be used by the battalion headquarters.If which one goes to war, then send corresponding vehicles to transport food, grass and supplies.Unless there is a certain general who guards a certain place alone.

Wang Dou also issued an order to promote Li Guangheng and Wen Daxing as Chief Qian, Xie Yike as General Commander of the Chinese Army, and Sergeant Yang Hu who was not recruited at night as the officer of his guard, temporarily taking Xie Yike's post.After the Battle of Julu, most of Wang Dou's guards were killed or injured. After several days of Zan Huang's reorganization, he selected personnel from various veteran troops, and finally made up for his guard's 55-member establishment.

Lord Hu went to Dudu's army alone to talk on the phone that day, which left a deep impression on Wang Dou. Naturally, he should vigorously promote such a courageous and insightful person.Yang Hu jumped from an ordinary sergeant who did not accept him at night to an officer of the guard, attracting a lot of envious and jealous eyes from the army.

Li Guangheng was delighted to be promoted to Chief Qian, but after the Battle of Julu, his cavalry total lost nearly half. Although he added all the cavalry auxiliary soldiers to the general, the combat power was dragged down all at once.Moreover, it is not easy to replenish the cavalry. Perhaps for a long time in the future, there will be a shortage of troops in his thousand headquarters.

The same is true for the team that does not close at night. Wen Daxing was promoted to the head of Qian, and he got his wish, so he was very excited.

However, there were only two teams with 110 people in the battalion at night, but they lost a lot in the few months of playing, and finally there were only more than [-] people left.When Emperor Zan was resting, Wang Dou transferred all the Ye Bu Shou from the original two thousand generals to merge with Wen Daxing's Ye Bu Shou team, and added some old soldiers to make up for the vacancies of the two Ye Bu Shou teams in the battalion.

Now the battalion Ye Bu Sui has been promoted to the Thousand Headquarters, and the excellent Ye Bu Sui Sergeant Long Er, "Banxio" and Mr. Qiang have all been promoted to team officers, but they only manage a few subordinates.As Chief Qian, Wen Daxing currently only has more than 100 subordinates.

The army does not recruit at night, the cavalry and artillery are high-tech arms, and it has never been easy to replenish troops.In particular, Ye Bu Shou's selection is more stringent. Although the Ye Bu Shou Department has more than 1000 soldiers, it is not known when it will be able to make up for it.

Zhao Xuan was far away in Zanhuang at this time, but Wang Dou also appointed him as Chief Qian. Zhao Xuan used to be Chief Qian of Che Ying in Baoding Mansion, and he was used as General Chief in Wang Dou's army.Over the past few months, Zhao Xuan's artillery team has made a lot of contributions, and Wang Dou's promotion of him as Chief Qian is a sign of respect for technical talents.

Like the supply team, Wang Dou also decided not to set up a separate artillery team within the battalion headquarters, but to concentrate all the artillery in the army on the battalion headquarters to maximize its power.Unless a certain general guards a certain place, we will discuss it later.

After these two days of reorganization, a large number of people in the army have been promoted, and everyone is happy.Calculated in this way, Wang Dou has a total of the Han Dynasty Division A, Wen Fangliang Division B, Zhong Xiancai Division C, Zhong Tiaoyang D Division, Sun Sanjie Division E, Wen Daxing Ji Division, Li Guangheng Geng Division, and Zhao Xuanxin Division eight thousand generals.

Looking at the high-spirited Qianzongs in the hall, Gao Shiyin felt a little depressed. Among the old people who followed Wang Dou in Jingbian Fort that day, he was the only one in charge, and the rest had higher military ranks than him.But there is no way, who made him not play this time?Without making military achievements, the guerrilla general has no reason to promote himself.

Thinking of this, the flesh on Gao Shiyin's face trembled a few times, and he let out a long sigh.

Wang Dou looked at the full house of Mr. Qian and Mr. Ba. After two days of reorganization, except for those Mr. Qian, many of Mr. Boss were new faces. Old people kept leaving, and newcomers kept coming up. What changed?

He glanced at Gao Shiyin, the military man looked a little downcast, thinking about how he met Gao Shiyin in the seventh year of Chongzhen was also wonderful.The two did not know each other, but the vicious Ye Bushou outside Huoludun that day, who wanted to kill the good and take the meritorious deeds, was downcast at this time, feeling sad because he had no chance to be promoted.

Wang Dou ordered all the chief executives to seize the opportunity to adjust the army and step up training. After the crowd dispersed, he called Gao Shiyin.

"Brother Gao, this time you are attacking the slaves of Zhuozhou, you should behave well, and when you return to Baoanzhou, you will be the same as Brother Wen and the others."

Gao Shiyin stayed there for a long time, and did not wake up until Wang Dou walked out of the house. He gave a deep salute, his voice choked up: "Thank you, General."

……

From the sixth day to the eighth day of the lunar new year, during these three days, the flats of the Beihe River in Liujingzhai were filled with the sound of training orders and the firing of firecrackers.The reorganized Shunxiang Army has eight thousand generals and nearly seven thousand troops.Braving the severe cold, they are all hurrying to train. The chiefs and generals of each department are also familiar with the sergeants in the department day and night.

The Shunxiang Army and the cavalry of the Zhengbing Battalion covered the camp in this area at night. Neither the government nor the Qing soldiers knew that there were more than ten thousand deadly troops lurking in Liujingzhai.However, the new troops sent to aid all knew the news that Zhuozhou would be attacked in a few days.

Many recruits couldn't help but feel uneasy, but the general manager and the officers in the team seemed indifferent, so they were more or less relieved.Especially those veterans of the Shunxiang Army who had experienced the Battle of Julu even dismissed those Qing soldiers.Driven by them, the fear of the new army calmed down, and turned into a desire for victory in battle.

In this reorganization, large-scale role models are in front of us. Numerous veterans have been promoted, and the risk of death and injury is useless, but the rewards after victory are even greater. All these stimulate the confidence of those new troops to make contributions.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, in the morning.

Hu Dawei, Xu Yue'e, and nearly 3000 people from the Supervising Biaoying Camp arrived in Yizhou with a large number of luggage, after receiving the news.Wang Dou personally led the army of the first army of the Han Dynasty, and there were several thousand generals.Yang Guozhu also led his Chinese army general Guo Yingxian, and several hundred people went to Baimali to meet Hu Dawei and his party, and then brought them to Liujingzhai, where the two armies joined forces.

Like Wang Dou and others, Hu Dawei's trip went smoothly. All the states and counties closed their doors along the way, and most of the Qing soldiers went to Shandong, so there were no twists and turns on the road, but the weather was severe and a large number of vehicles were escorted. People walked very slowly, but luckily the whole army arrived safely.

The accompanying chariots and horses of Hu Dawei and others included hundreds of carriages and wheelbarrows, as well as a large number of artillery tents and horses. The silver is transported away first.Hu Dawei and others set off from Zanhuang, and when they arrived at Mancheng, they brought back several thousand stones of grain and grass that Wang Dou had stored there. Ma Ge is huge.

When Hu Dawei and others arrived at Liujingzhai, the whole army was boiling, and the number of officers and troops gathered in various parts of Liujingzhai reached more than 1, which was sufficient for use.Yebu received the information, the enemies of Zhuozhou were still ignorant, they didn't even know that the enemy was spying on them, it was time to launch a thunderous blow against them.

Wang Dou arranged for these soldiers who came from afar to rest and recuperate. In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Dou distributed more than [-] pairs of the [-] armors he had seized. vice.

Everyone has armor to start with, and the new soldiers in Shun Township are all elated.It's just that it feels weird to wear Tartar armor. Fortunately, everyone has a red cotton and woolen cloak on their bodies, which can effectively distinguish friend from foe.

As soon as Zhao Xuan arrived at Liujing Village, he had a pleasant surprise. He was promoted to Chief Qian, and the artillery team under his command was renamed Chief Qian of Xinbu Artillery.Not only the battalion artillery team is under his control, but also the original two thousand artillery teams are also under his command, so he is very happy.

Like Li Guangheng, Wen Daxing and others, he will also face the problem of insufficient gunners. The original battalion artillery team plus two thousand artillery teams totaled 370 people, including some gunner guards.After the Battle of Julu, many artillery guards died in battle, and only more than 200 gunners remained. Many artillery pieces have not been used by gunners.

After several months of fighting, Wang Dou also has his own experience with the power of artillery. He believes that the Qing soldiers who attacked Zhuozhou this time brought 25 medium-sized artillery pieces from the Buddha Wolf Machine in the army, and four Hongyi six-piece guns from the Supervision Battalion. A pounder will do.The rest of the Buddha wolf machine small cannon, tiger crouching cannon do not have to fight.

……

When the whole army arrived, it was time to attack. That night, Wang Doushang invited Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei to discuss matters. Among them were Xu Yue'e and Yang Guodong, the chief supervisor of the Biaoying Battalion.

"The two military sects, Mr. Yang Qian and Mrs. Xu, heard from the sentry that the Red Banner of the slave department is still staying in Zhuozhou and Tongzhou. There are still many in Zhuozhou. It has been found out that the army does not accept them at night. There are more than 6000 slaves in the two lands. There are less than [-] armored and unarmored slaves, and the rest are miscellaneous servants."

Wang Dou spread out the map: "The slave camps in Zhuozhou are located on the banks of the Liuli River several miles east of Zhuozhou. The camps are all over the area from Beixin to Douzhuang. The slave chief Yuetuo personally guards them. Our army will not accept them at night. Several slaves from Zhuozhou were captured. After torture and interrogation, they confessed that there were about 500 slaves in Zhuozhou, including 500 armored slaves and [-] unarmoured slaves. Among the armored slaves, there were hundreds more The Baya La soldiers are led by Yue Tuo's eldest son, Nuzheng Red Banner Baya La Tiaozhang Jing Luo Luohong."

"Among the [-] armored slave soldiers, there are also hundreds of people led by Zhenghongqi Jiala Zhangjing and his second son Luo Luohuan..."

Wang Dou looked at the few people in the hall with piercing eyes: "Only by beheading Yuetuo and killing all three of them, father and son, can we vent our great hatred for the deaths of the governors, so we will finally conceive..."
