Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 422

An army must have a military spirit.

And the military soul is often infused by the first chief general.

Some troops have only traditions but no military spirit, because they lack the will to fight and the unyielding fighting spirit.

Although the Sichuan Guizhou camp is a new army, it is not entirely a new army. These camps are composed of the Sichuan Ming army, native soldiers, even gentry armed forces, and local recruits. , also brought the tradition of the Jiangdong imperial camp.

And that was established by Emperor Shaotian and deeply branded with his own will. The army soul has been infused there, and they dare to face any enemy with their swords.

The imperial camp officers such as Zhang Shipeng and Zhu Wanhua are now fully in charge of the battalion army, and they have also begun to infuse these traditions into them to recast the soul of the army.

The troops moved up the Jialing River and entered the border of Baoning and Shunqing provinces.

On one side is a big river rushing down, meandering and rushing, and the current is turbulent.

On one side are majestic mountains, towering dragons, high mountains and dense forests.

All the way to the north, the road is full of desolation, tigers and wolves are rampant, and there are few people.

The towns and cities were already in ruins, the villages were deserted, thieves and bandits were rampant, and wolves were rampant. The people died at the mouth of tigers and wolves, and were also killed by soldiers and bandits. You can only hide in the mountains and build a stronghold to protect yourself, or hide in caves and work harshly.

You can always see piles of dead bones on the side of the road and no one restrains them.

Zhang Shipeng ordered that the auxiliary soldiers behind be responsible for collecting the bones along the way and simply burying them in the ground.

"Report!"

"There is a group of thieves occupying Tangjiagou in front of us. It used to be that some gentry in Pengzhou escaped chaos and went to the mountains to protect themselves and reclaim land for self-sufficiency. Not long ago, the thieves sent spies to feed the hungry people and sneaked in. Then they attacked the village in the middle of the night. Now they are turning against the guests. Occupying the stockade, its leader calls himself the Black Dragon King."

The night does not close the team and always comes back to report.

"How many thieves, how are the equipment, how many armors, do you know?"

"There are more than a thousand people in the village, but there are only a hundred real old thieves, and the rest are refugees who were coerced by them. There are about a hundred horses and mules, and a dozen armor..." Ye Bushou inquired The information is not too detailed, but for Zhang Shipeng and Zhu Wanhua, it is enough.

This is obviously only a small group of thieves, not many in number, and their strength is average.

He asked Yebushou about the situation of Tangjiagou stockade in detail.

"In the first battle, let's take these thieves."

"Ji Canjun, how do you think this battle will be fought?" Zhang Shipeng asked Xingying to consult and join the army. This is equivalent to the chief of staff, and the staff office is directly under his leadership. If you say that Ji Junjun has a very good resume, he is rooted in Miaohong. He is a scholar from Jiangyin County, but he is not the kind of scholar who only knows how to study and do stereotyped writing. He belongs to a family of officials and officials, a noble family in Jiangyin. He not only reads the Four Books, but also learns riding and shooting.

After the Jiangyin uprising, Ji Shimei took his brothers and a group of friends and quickly set up an assault battalion with the brave young men at the North Gate. , officially became a young hero under the command of Lu Jianguo.

Afterwards, he has a rich experience. First, he led the regiment training in Jiangyin, then he was reorganized as an officer of the Jiangsu Provincial Battalion, then entered the Imperial Battalion, and then served as a former imperial guard.

Like Zhang Shipeng and the others, he is a son of a gentry and has a reputation. He is a young man full of enthusiasm and loyalty. He is the first group of people who accepted Lu Jianguo's thought the fastest.

"It's simple, it's a small test," although Ji Shimei said so, but Ji Shimei did not underestimate the enemy. Based on the information, he immediately drew up a set of battle plans, and even made two supplementary B and C plans very rigorously. .

"I'll take the assault battalion myself." He even proposed a fourth plan. Zhang Shipeng and Zhu Wanhua both had their own standard battalions, but Ji Shimei, as the chief of staff, did not have a standard battalion. The number is charge, and the officers there are all brought out by Ji Shimei all the way from Jiangyin.

"You don't need a bull's knife to kill a chicken,"

After some disputes, it was finally decided that the four battalions of the Left Association would be responsible for the main attack, the four battalions of the Right Association would be responsible for the peripheral blockade, and the two standard battalions would serve as the reserve team.

In the fourth battalion of the Zuoxie, Zuobiao acted as the main attacker, the left battalion attacked from the front, the right battalion attacked from the rear, and then the two battalions from the right battalion played as assistants.

"These thieves are really lucky in their lives. They can be shot together by five thousand soldiers from our camp. Even if they die, they are worthy of being proud of Lord Yan."

"Hahaha!"

Ji Shimei's cousin Ji Congxiao won the main attack task and went back very excitedly.

The battalion deputy of the assault battalion, the supervising army, the joining army, and several sentinel chiefs all surrounded them, "How about it, battalion commander? Have you won the main attack?"

Ji Congxiao patted his chest and said proudly, "Needless to say, our assault battalion is the first battalion in the lineup, of course I will be used in the first battle. Besides, I, Ji Congxiao, fought from Jiangyin to Shandong, and from Jiangnan to Shuzhong. In the name of Guan Gong?"

Wang Shi, He Chang and several other officers, who were originally Jiangyin North Gate boys, had always had a good relationship with the Ji family brothers, also laughed and said, "Just blow it up, I think it's because Da Lang helped us fight for it. "

Ji Congxiao smiled, "Stop talking nonsense, I have won the main attack task, but whether you can fight the first battle of the battalion well, and you have to fight beautifully and show off your prestige, you have to show your skills. I, Ji Congxiao, can't afford to lose this man, if you don't fight well, you will lose not only the people from the assault camp, but also the people from my elder brother, and even the emperor!"

Several people slapped the iron armor, "Don't worry, from us to the team leader, we guarantee that the officers will rush to the forefront and will never be cowardly."

Ji Congxiao called He Chang, "Old He, you are the supervising army, bring your gendarmerie and follow me, whoever dares to coax you, please write down his name, whoever dares to be a deserter, you will be killed without mercy.

"Also, the wounds should be counted after the battle. Those who died in the battle will receive compensation, and those who are injured will also be rewarded. But if someone is injured on the back, not only will they not be rewarded, but they will also be whipped!"

"Another one, during the battle, no one is allowed to stop and cut off the head, and no one is allowed to fight with the head hanging on the waistband of the trousers, and it is not allowed to run to the back with the head before the battle is over to report meritorious service.

Just charge and fight, cut off the head, and hand it over to the auxiliary soldiers behind, and the auxiliary soldiers are not allowed to rush to the back to report their merits after cutting their heads, one at a time to queue up to report their merits, don't think that the front is defeated when the time comes , rushed to his own army, and broke the morale of the army. "

Ji Congxiao and the others are also experienced officers, and they understand many details of the battlefield.

Although Long Live God encourages the leaders of military merits, cutting heads on the battlefield really affects the combat, especially now that the assault battalion is also a new army, even if they are all veterans, after all, there is not much tacit understanding.

"The military exploits will not be short of everyone. I, Ji Congxiao, will handle affairs. Don't worry, everyone."

"By the way, before the war, I will give everyone a sum of money."

In this first battle, Ji Congxiao and other officers from the imperial battalion were holding back their energy. Wen Jinglue and President Qin gave them the best soldiers, the best equipment, and even sufficient food and salary. Now Admiral Zhang and Deputy Zhu The admiral and Ji Canjun gave them another chance to attack first, so they naturally had to show their prestige in the first battle.

The officers agreed, and immediately assembled the whole battalion.

Ji Congxiao directly opened a cowhide bag, and took out a large stack of bills, but it was an exchange certificate issued by the Bank of the Ministry of Households, which can be redeemed upon presentation of the bill. Because the exchange is guaranteed and the credit is good, it is now accepted by everyone, especially in the military. , very convenient, carrying this thing is more convenient than carrying silver.

Ji Congxiao took out a stack and shook it in his hand, and shouted to the five hundred soldiers of the assault battalion, "The rule of our imperial battalion is that we will never disappoint everyone's loyalty and bravery. Before we came out of Phoenix Mountain, Wen Jinglue We have already given each of us a tael of reward silver.

But now, I, Ji Congxiao, specially took out another 500 taels from the battalion's common silver, one tael per person as a pre-war reward.

Regardless of whether it is an officer or a soldier, one person has one or two, and everyone has a share.

After the war, I will cook meat for you.

But I also said the ugly words before, I don't care what white elite soldiers you were, or chieftain soldiers, or the original Sichuan officials and soldiers, etc. From now on, you will have the same identity, the imperial guards of the emperor, the imperial camp, the Sichuan Guixing camp Soldiers of the [-]st Battalion Assault Battalion! "

There is an exchange coupon for one tael of dragon silver that is redeemable on demand, one for each person.

"Originally, everyone should be rewarded with a bowl of wine, but now there is no such condition, so forget it, let's not talk about other nonsense, let's talk after the fight.

He Tai from the Second Battalion Xiaorui Battalion did not win the main attacking position, but he was very unconvinced. They were in charge of playing support, so don't give them a chance! "

Too many provocative words were left unsaid, but Ji Congxiao also said that there is no retreat on the battlefield, and whoever retreats will kill whomever.

The head of the army retires, and the head of the army kills the head of the army.If it is too long to retreat, the leader of the team will kill the leader of the team. If it is too long to retreat, the leader of the whistle will kill the leader of the team.Mr. Xiao retreated, and he personally beheaded Mr. Xiao.

Just a group of thieves and local bandits must be taken down with all their strength. After the fight, they must have lunch without delay.

"Look at your boss, stare at your flag, just follow and kill!"

"The more kills, the more rewards!"

In the distance, Zhang Shipeng, Zhu Wannian, Ji Shimei and other officers watched the mobilization here, "Second Master Ji is still so fierce."

"As expected of Little Guan Gong."

The task was given to the assault battalion because of Ji Congxiao's fierceness. During the previous training, the assault battalion was much tougher than the other battalion leaders because of the chief officer Ji Congxiao.

This battalion already has a bit of Ji Congxiao's tough style.

To use them as the main attack is to take a fancy to their vigor.

After the mobilization over there was completed, the whole battalion set out and rushed towards Tangjiagou quickly.

The Xiaorui battalion reluctantly followed behind and was responsible for playing support, while the other battalions were in a very relaxed state. There is no chance at all.

Sure enough, as expected, after the assault battalion quickly rushed to Tangjiagou, Ji Congxiao launched a swift and violent attack according to the battle plan drawn up by the staff office. In front of the gate of the village.

Ji Congxiao asked the gunners to fire guns at the gate of the village continuously, while the archers tried their best to aim at the thieves and shoot, while the shield hand on the other side rushed forward holding the shield to cover the men and horses.

The Shizhu white-armed soldiers lived up to their prestige, piercing through them with great speed.

The thieves in the village also shouted and fought back, but the sergeants of the assault battalion had shields in front of them and armored helmets on their bodies. In addition, officers at all levels led the team in person, and military judges at all levels led the empress to supervise the battle behind them. Everyone just rushes forward.

The aura of this eruption was extremely ferocious and unstoppable.

In less than a cup of tea, the thieves at the gate of the village were unable to lift their heads under the pressure of the firecracker archers. After the shieldmen covered the spearmen and rushed close, the battle was almost one-sided, and they were quickly defeated by the outposts. The soldiers captured the gate of the village.

The outpost soldiers rushed into the village like tigers, and there was no suspense in the battle.

Seeing that the gate of the village was lost, the thief leader who claimed to be the Black Dragon King immediately took his confidant old thief and fled to the other side, but the other side was blocked by the rear guards.

After a meal, the battle is over.

Five hundred soldiers hacked wildly in the village, and the thieves were completely frightened. Those who didn't react in time all fell under the sword, and those who reacted quickly dropped their swords and soldiers, knelt down and shouted to surrender.

Ji Congxiao patrolled the battlefield with a Daguan knife and was very satisfied.

"Quickly clear the battlefield!"

"Please supervise the army to lead the gendarmerie to maintain military discipline. Anyone who dares to kill prisoners, rape, or hide spoils of war will be dealt with by military law!"

"The stretcher team from the auxiliary barracks hastened to the field..."

"Report to the Admiral, my assault battalion has successfully captured Tangjiagou Village, and wiped out the Black Dragon King's gang of thieves!"
