Wanli 1592

Chapter 365
The fierce battle between Narisuan and Min Qide is still going on, and not far away, the large troops of the Ming army are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, eating and drinking water, sitting quietly to replenish their strength, without saying a word , I still ate butter pancakes, drank some black bean soup, and replenished all the energy consumed by the previous journey.

Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang also sat on the side to eat. Xiao Ruxun was young, had good teeth, and digested well, so he ate butter cakes and black bean soup, just like the soldiers, but Yuan Huang was too old to be with the strong soldiers Compared with them, they gave special preferential treatment. They cooked mung bean porridge with pickles for Yuan Huang to eat, and a little ghee cake, so as not to get sick from indigestion.

At this time, Siam was hot and stuffy, and it was difficult for the soldiers to eat thicker food, but it was not good to eat thin food before the battle, it would be consumed quickly, and it was easy to pull out, so it is better to eat thick food, no matter what Full, in order for the soldiers to swallow it better, they served black bean soup and swallowed it together with the flatbread to replenish energy.

Xiao Ruxun has always had a good appetite, and he is also diligent in exercising. He can eat a whole pancake, and then drink a small half pot of black bean soup. Feeling full, he stops eating and sits quietly to rest. The soldiers of the Ming army did the same thing. They stopped eating when they were seven or eight percent full, packed away the unfinished food, and sat quietly to digest food slowly to accumulate energy.

Soon, with the sound of horseshoes, five cavalry returned from a distance, led by the general Zhao Hu.

"Admiral, I have found out clearly that the Dongwu people's camp is behind their battlefield. The camp is very large and stretches endlessly. It seems that there are many people in the camp. It can't be seen at a glance, but with Those Dongwu soldiers who are fighting are different, they either have no weapons in their hands, or they are all wooden sticks and the like, and they are dressed in tatters, so they don’t seem to be soldiers.”

Xiao Ruxun nodded, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Based on this, I remembered something that King Narexuan told me before, saying that Dongwu people always carry weapons similar to auxiliary soldiers when they fight. These auxiliary soldiers are basically prisoners of their previous wars or the old, weak, sick and disabled in the country. They usually don’t go to the battlefield, or they go up to be cannon fodder, and because they are afraid of their riots, they basically don’t give them weapons.”

Yuan Huang then nodded, and said, "That is to say, the camp of the Dongwu people is basically filled with auxiliary soldiers who have no combat effectiveness? Maybe they are some foreign captives who hate the Dongwu people?"

"This possibility is extremely high! Moreover, there may be some warriors guarding food and grass, but the number of warriors will definitely not be many. If we attack their rear at this time, it will inevitably cause chaos in the camp of Dongwu soldiers. As long as the camp Once there is chaos, those captives of foreign races will definitely take advantage of the chaos to rebel. As long as they rebel, the camp will be completely destroyed. If you lose food and supplies, you will lose this battle!"

Yuan Huang smiled and nodded, agreeing with Xiao Ruxun's statement.

So Xiao Ruxun said to Zhao Hu: "You go to eat first, and then rest for a while. I will give you all the horses. You can get together seven or eight hundred cavalrymen, bring enough igniters, and rush into the cave. The camp of the warriors set fire to their food and supplies, causing chaos, don’t love to fight, once you find the Dongwu people have signs of organizing an attack, immediately set off green signal flares, all withdraw, absolutely don’t love to fight, understand?”

Zhao Hu clasped his fists in promise: "The general will understand!"

The cavalry immediately went to eat and rest. Xiao Ruxun quickly arranged to hand over all the horses to Zhao Hu. There were originally 300 cavalry, but now more than [-] were added temporarily, and [-] cavalry were collected for Zhao Hu.

After a period of rest, the cavalry gathered to prepare for battle, and Xiao Ruxun personally saw them off.

The cavalrymen were all ready to go, and then each took out a sour plum and stuffed it into his mouth, and got on the horse neatly.

"This trip will definitely live up to the admiral's entrustment, and we will destroy the Dongwu Camp!"

Zhao Hu clasped his fists at Xiao Ruxun on the horse, urged the horses, and galloped away with [-] cavalrymen, implementing Xiao Ruxun's strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pan.

The rest of the main force of the Ming army infantry rested for about a quarter of an hour, then stood up and prepared to fight, adjusted their spirits to the best, held the weapons in their hands, arranged them neatly in line, and waited for Xiao Ruxun to give orders.

Xiao Ruxun also stood up and cheered up, climbed up a small mound, took out a sour plum in his cloth bag, and held it high.

The soldiers of the Ming army also raised the sour plums in their hands.

Before the army goes into field battles, it is routine to put a sour plum in the mouth to ensure that they will not be thirsty during the battle. It is a symbol of going all out to fight the national calamity together.

Xiao Ruxun stuffed the sour plum into his mouth, the soldiers below also stuffed the sour plum into his mouth, Yuan Huang also took out a sour plum and stuffed it into his own mouth, his teeth cracked for a while before he returned to normal.

Afterwards, Xiao Ruxun remained silent, drew out his sword and pointed forward, and the soldiers all raised their weapons to the ground, as a response to the commander's call, then Xiao Ruxun put the sword into its sheath, and walked down the small soil Qiu got on his horse and urged the horse to move forward. Behind him, the soldiers followed up with the commander in an orderly manner.

Yuan Huang was amazed.

The military discipline of this army is already comparable to that of the Qi family army back then. The order and prohibition may be a bit exaggerated, but under the premise that the commander has a high reputation, Xiao Ruxun has completely grasped the morale of this army, and this army is also familiar with him. His tactical tactics and his instructions are like Xiao Ruxun's own arms and fingers, giving orders is very convenient and accurate, even if they don't speak, the soldiers understand Xiao Ruxun's meaning.

This army has been deeply branded by Xiao Ruxun, even though they come from different places and different factions, Xiao Ruxun has been recognized and trusted by them, and they are willing to trust Xiao Ruxun as the coach, and Working hard for him, even those rebellious wolf soldiers are like this.

With such prestige, how can he not become a famous general?How can it not be the hope of ZTE Daming?
From the bottom of his heart, Yuan Huang is looking forward to seeing Xiao Ruxun's growth, Xiao Ruxun's leap, and Xiao Ruxun's rise. He is looking forward to the day when Da Ming finally embarks on the road of rejuvenation, and he is also looking forward to seeing Hongwu Yongle return to the world. , and it seems that all these hopes are pinned on this general.
