Chapter 53 Military Order
The leader's plan for the battle of Xinjiang Town was messed up.

No matter whether Bai Yuanjie, the deputy of Qianhu in Qingcheng, or Deng Zilong, the chief general of Guangdong, there are no officials in their subordinates who specialize in recording meritorious service. There is a quota for total merit.

It is easy to count the credits of the gunmen. More than 230 and nearly 60 of the enemies died in the gunshots. Excluding those with sword and arrow wounds, there are 120 left, of which there are more than 110 in the Battle of Beishan alone. corpse.Deng Zilong had a total of forty blunderbusses, and 20 people were divided into first-level skills. Although Bai Yuanjie was divided into [-] and [-], he only had more than [-] bird blunderbussmen under his command. After dividing them, Shi Qiniao bludgeon flags took eight of them each. The first level is huge.

The first-level skills of other soldiers are roughly calculated in the same way, but they are not as high as the bird gunslinger.In any case, it is foreseeable that they will reap a lot after this battle, and the job of being a thousand households that Bai Yuanjie is thinking about seems to be a certainty.

Of course, Wu Duan, who was the main attacker in this matter, was very angry. He dispatched the most troops and took down the most enemies, but he won more than Deng Zilong and Bai Yuanjie.This is simply a naked grab for credit by the two supervisors!
"Yup!"

Deng Zilong in the military tent suddenly patted his head to react, looked at Bai Yuanjie and said, "You and I are the war supervisor!"

When the two combined up, another person allocated [-] from his subordinates' meritorious service and threw it on Wu Duan's head. Anyway, as a war supervisor, Wu Duan also contributed a share to them, but the meritorious service of the subordinate military households and battalion soldiers was slightly less.The three giants of Xinjiang Town reached a consensus on this, and together they wrote a book and battle report, and sent messenger riders to report directly to Yu Dayou, the commander-in-chief of Wengyuan's main battlefield.

Many people think that this war for them is over, when in fact, it has only just begun.

The cavalrymen who went to Wengyuan to report the results of the battle had just set off when the cavalry from Yu Dayou from the south had arrived in Xinjiang Town, and the order was issued: "The commander-in-chief has an order to order Bai Yuanjie, deputy Qianhu of Qingcheng, and Deng Zilong, the general commander of Guangdong, to join the leader Wu Duan. The three of them led the troops of the headquarters to station Xinjiang Town, and defended themselves according to the dangers of the Xinjiang Bridge, and they must not allow Li Yayuan to lead the army to cross Xinjiang south!"

Yu Dayou suffered setbacks in Wengyuan Ping Yedanlou. Yedanlou, who originally surrendered, was a false surrender. He failed to attack Yu Dayou's troops at night, retreated to the mountains and fled to occupy the mountains and defend themselves. The main force was trapped in Wengyuan for a few days and could not go north to Heyuan. such an order.

But this is not good news for the army of Xinjiang Town, including Chen Mu.

This meant that they had to guard Li Yayuan, who was likely to lead troops south, in this small town south of Xinjiang, with a wide and long river and a small Xinjiang bridge.

That was Li Yayuan, Li Yayuan who had been in trouble in Heyuan for several years.He is known as an army of [-] troops.As for them, there are only more than [-] soldiers including Wu Duan's Japanese pirates and salt disciples.

"The commander-in-chief's order has come down, what do you think?"

When the highest official positions in the military account were Deputy Qianhu and Commander-in-Chief, Chen Mu was also qualified to participate in military discussions, but when Bai Yuanjie asked him a question, Chen Mu asked with a distressed face: "Qianhu, I heard that Li Yayuan He claims to have 10 soldiers, how many soldiers does he have? There are really [-], we cannot defend Xinjiang Town."

This is what Chen Mu tried his best to say in decent words. The rebel army is indeed invincible. Let Chen Mu lead the general flag to fight [-] or even [-]. He has a way, and he will not feel afraid.But with their [-] troops to defend the Xinjiang Bridge, which might have tens of thousands of chaotic troops rushing over?
Not to mention one hundred thousand, even ten thousand they might not be able to hold on.

Chen Mu couldn't feel any fighting spirit in his heart.

"Heh, General Chen Qi doesn't need to worry. It's difficult to defend the Xinjiang Bridge, but he also defends Li Yayuan's entire force from time to time." Bai Yuanjie hadn't spoken yet, but Deng Zilong who was on the side comforted him, "It's true that Bandit Li has [-] to [-] troops. But he wants to go south to Wengyuan, and the number of troops passing through Xinjiang Bridge is only more than [-], even if he sends all his troops here, how can the river valley allow him to spread out his troops?"

With the bird gun flag showing its power in the First Battle of Xinjiang Town, Deng Zilong also looked favorably on Chen Mu. Although he is only a general flag now, as long as he can survive this battle, he will lead 50 people to kill more than [-] enemy troops, and fire cannons. Surprising the enemy's attack, leading the crowd to attack Beishan, and going down to Xinjiang Town, the meritorious service, a mere [-] households has long been a certainty, and if they fail, they will be promoted to Guangdong to be the general manager!

At that time, they will all be battalion soldiers. Who can say whether they will fight side by side.

Nowadays, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is full of cliques and cliques. Although military officers can't be called forming cliques for personal gain, they are not exempt from customs.

Bai Yuanjie said in his heart that only at this time can he feel that Chen Mu is still the same Chen Mu from the past. He shook his head and smiled, then pointed to the map and said, "Censhui and Xinjiang are the only way for Li Yayuan to go south. The guard of Shaozhou Prefecture is located in the northeast. Sealing the road, he needs to divide his troops to take precautions if he wants to use Weng Yuan. Even if there are enemies coming, there will not be too many, otherwise Mr. Yu will not entrust us with the heavy responsibility. However, Brother Wu Qiao, we really need to ask Mr. Soldiers call for help."

"Well, we only have two cannons, and Chief Wu's soldiers also lost a lot."

Deng Zilong also thought that their current defense strength was insufficient, and said: "Six guns, at least six more cannons, if Li Yayuan comes, he will come across the river from the northeast, and bombard his boat on the river! Two more battalions need to be dispatched , is safe."

"We can't let all veteran soldiers die in Xinjiang Bridge!"

As an officer, no one is willing to follow his subordinates to the end of a battle, especially after Deng Zilong saw Wu Duan's miserable appearance.In the battle of Xinjiang Town, the biggest loser was Wu Duan. Originally, he had more than 3000 Japanese pirates, miners, and salt gangs to form a vicious army. [-]% of them died in one battle. No one could bear the pain.

Credit?

There is no merit for Wu Duan, he just belonged to the leader of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't even have a serious garrison position. For him, the credit is useless except for more bargaining chips when he sold Yu Dayou after the battle. He can't be like Bai Yuanjie and Deng Zilong at all. In this way, it becomes an official position and real money.

Xinjiang Town at night should be quiet, but this land is brightly lit because of the upcoming war, soldiers and civilians are busy building fortifications and digging trenches on the shore. When there was no one around, he asked Bai Yuanjie, "Wu Duan killed many of his subordinates. General Yu asked him to guard the Xinjiang Bridge with us. Will something happen?"

"An accident? It might have happened before he died, but now he has only 2000 people, so there is no way he can fight back." Bai Yuanjie waved his hands, smiling unfathomably, and said, "Why do you think Mr. Yu waited until the battle was over before ordering the three troops?" Join forces to defend Xinjiang? Do you remember the heads proposed by the bandits after the camp was broken in the daytime? Submission is the general trend now. If Wu Duan dares to rebel, before he kills you and me, the heads will be sent to the table by his subordinates superior!"

When he walked out of the military tent, Chen Mu suddenly thought of what Bai Yuanjie said to him in the past, "Good people can't be officials, and bad people can't be officials."It's just that thousands of lives are lost, and the price of peace of mind is too high.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu suddenly felt chills down his spine, as if the night was getting colder. He wrapped his armor tightly and led a group of soldiers into the deeper night.

　good morning friends!
