Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 381 Who Will Sacrifice?

In the tent of the Chinese army, Li Fangyuan was still waiting excitedly, surrounded by the sand table with a group of lieutenants and scolded Fang Qiu.

"As long as the military supplies are sufficient, the Linjiang line of defense can completely stop the Ming army for half a year to a year. At that time, when reinforcements from all provinces arrive, we will be able to defeat the Ming army."

North Korea's land area is not large, why does it take so long for the various government troops to be transferred to the front line?

Because the so-called Daofu army is equivalent to the guards of the local provincial government in the Ming Dynasty.

Their duty has never been to fight wars but to maintain local law and order. They are farmers when they are busy with farming, and they only have two or three months of leisure time a year to gather together to practice military skills.

To put it simply, the guards of the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to the Ministry of Human Armed Forces of later generations, and the guards are equivalent to the militia.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces organizes several militia training camps every year, but after the training camps, these militiamen can do everything.

Some are policemen, some are urban management, some sell breakfast, and some do sales.

Now that it is approaching May, it is the busiest season of summer harvest. Even if there is a war, Li Chenggui has no ability to mobilize all the provincial troops to support the front line. He can only say that he is waiting for the summer harvest and autumn planting. After that, organize them from various provinces and send them to the frontline battlefield.

In terms of organizational structure and mobilization power, the Taoist Army of North Korea is obviously inferior to that of the Weisuo system of the Ming Dynasty. The reason is that the Ming Dynasty implemented two sets of household registration policies.

Farmers and military households.

When it comes to wartime, each military household has to send one person to the battlefield. Therefore, when the original time and space were in trouble, Zhu Yunqi was able to prepare 50 troops for Li Jinglong in less than a month, and then successively from Shandong and Hebei. , Zhili and other places organized more than 30 people to go to the front line to support.

However, North Korea has few people and cannot separate the two sets of household registration systems, so it can only wait for the militiamen to finish their work before recruiting.

Otherwise, you can only pull strong men.

"With a steady stream of military rations, our army can stay here"

As soon as Li Fangyuan opened his mouth, there were bursts of sounds of gold and iron in his ears, followed by even more noisy shouts of killing, and a group of people in the distance neighed on their backs.

This accident caused Li Fangyuan to turn pale with shock, he thought it was a massive attack by the Ming army, and immediately ran out of the commander's tent and bumped into a messenger.

"What's the matter!"

"My lord, the Ming army attacked the camp."

"Fart, there is no enemy news in the Wubao, the Ming army is 20, how can they bypass the Wubao formation and attack my camp without anyone noticing."

"It's the back camp!"

The messenger pointed in the direction of the rear battalion: "The Ming army came in from the rear of our army."

Hearing that the back door was stabbed, Li Fangyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. However, he was still a capable general. Although he was flustered but not flustered, he asked, "How many enemies are there?"

If it is said that hundreds of thousands of the Ming army went around to the rear and entered the camp, then Li Fangyuan didn't have to struggle, and just waited to be killed.

"There are three or four thousand."

Li Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were only 4000 people, and ordered in an orderly manner: "Order the two battalions on the left and right, and [-] elite soldiers from all over the place will surround them, cutting off the enemy's retreat. Order Li Chengzuo, by the way, Li Chengzuo What? Didn’t he go to pick up the baggage?”

"The luggage was faked by the Ming army, and General Li has already died."

Li Fangyuan frowned immediately, but he didn't have time to reminisce, saying that the generals around him said: "Zheng Xing, you lead the [-] Chinese troops to rescue the rear battalion, and work together with the left and right battalions to completely wipe out this enemy army.

The rest of the generals, each guards the big camp. "

There are only a few thousand people in the area, even if the attack enters the camp and what waves will be caused, Li Fangyuan is not afraid at all now.

Zheng Xing took the order and asked a question.

"There are more than [-] cavalry troops on the two wings. Why not use them to block the Ming army's retreat faster."

"The cavalry cannot move."

Li Fangyuan didn't even bother to look at the rear at this moment, but turned to face north, which was the direction of the Ming army's camp.

"There is chaos in the rear of our army. The Ming army will definitely not give up this opportunity. It is very likely that they will attack in large numbers in an attempt to cut off the connection between our central army and the Wubao formation. Therefore, the cavalry on both wings must stay still. Launch an attack, and our cavalry on both wings can cooperate with the Wubao formation to protect our central army as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Fangyuan commanded properly, and all the generals were convinced, and they followed the order at the moment, and everyone returned to their defense.

Besides, Chang Sheng, who had suddenly surpassed Li Fangyuan's camp at this moment, was also caught in a bitter battle.

He rushed all the way into the camp, thinking that he could take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and chop melons and chop vegetables all the way to win a big victory like military history records, but he found that the simple passages in the book were not so smooth in reality.

It is true that when he first entered the camp, Chang Sheng killed all the way very happily. There were North Korean soldiers fleeing in panic everywhere. He had a good record of killing all the way, but before he went deep into the camp, he began to encounter organized small groups of enemies. Army, all form a defensive formation.

The cavalry of the Ming army were not heavy armored cavalry, nor were they chained horses of the iron stupa like Wanyan Zongwang of the Jin Dynasty. Facing the solid shield wall of the formed infantry, they were unable to break through at all.

At this time, the left and right battalions mobilized by Li Fangyuan had already outflanked them. They were not in a hurry to defend against Chang Sheng. Zhaimen.

This is to make dumplings for Chang Shengyi.

Taking advantage of his breath, Tang Mengjie began to persuade Chang Sheng again: "General, if we don't retreat, we will be surrounded, and thousands of lives will be thrown here for nothing."

The latter panted heavily and nodded silently.

Chang Sheng was not afraid of death, at least he dared to bet his life on a victory, but now that he knew that the bet was a loss, he would be a fool to bet any more.

"withdraw."

He gave the order to retreat, but Tang Mengjie was surprised to find that Chang Sheng had no intention of leaving.

"The general is not leaving?"

"This is Li Fangyuan's rear camp." Chang Sheng pointed to the northwest, where there were more than [-] granaries of different sizes, and said, "This general will burn up the little grain left in Li Fangyuan's army!"

Tang Meng's program measured the distance and said in shock: "The general is going to burn food, the time to go back and forth, the enemy's encirclement will surely be completed."

"Once the food is burned out, the riverside defense line that Li Fangyuan built here will collapse without a fight."

Chang Sheng grinned: "Our army can drive straight in and go all the way south to Pyongyang Prefecture. At that time, North Korea will undoubtedly be defeated!"

After all, he was going to take his own soldiers to burn food, but when Tang Mengjie grabbed him, Chang Sheng was furious.

"let go!"

"General." Tang Mengjie held Chang Sheng tightly, and said, "The general knows that the general is not afraid of death, and the general also knows why the general is willing to sacrifice his life for this victory. If so, then let the general go. "

"The last general is a native of Liaodong, and has two sons under his knees."

You, Chang Sheng, fought with your life for the sake of your Chang family dynasty. Now I, Tang Mengjie, sacrificed my life for you. When this battle is over and won in the future, your Chang family dynasty will be established. You have to treat my children of Tang Mengjie well. .

If I watch you go to die with my own eyes, after Liaozhou is really established in the future, can Chang Mao let me off Tangmeng Festival again?
Thinking about it this way, it would be better for me, Tang Mengjie, to be promoted for you, and take this life in exchange for the prosperity of my family's offspring.

Chang Sheng spoke late, and only patted Tang Mengjie's shoulder twice hard.

"After the establishment of the Liaozhou system, Ruzi will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

"Thank you General!"

Tang Mengjie was overjoyed instead of being afraid of death, clasped his fists and shouted: "Your son who is not afraid of death, come with me!"

With a whistling sound, hundreds of horsemen followed and rushed towards Li Fangyuan's back camp granary.

Chang Sheng stared intently, his thousands of thoughts turned into a sigh, he withdrew his mind, and turned his horse's head.

"withdraw!"
