The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 155
When everyone heard the general's words, they grinned complacently.

No one thinks that the general is talking big. Since he went to sea, the general has not lost a single game, so he deserves such a prestigious reputation.

"Hehe, it's Tong Yangzhen and his son who escaped quickly before, they're just clowns. Since the general mentioned it, wait for me to take down this fort for the general."

Among the generals, Huayan enthusiastically asked for a fight.

Tang Qing'an didn't immediately agree.

Despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.

Only by despising the enemy strategically can we dare to fight against the enemy and maintain a strong fighting spirit, persevere and move forward.

Paying attention to the enemy tactically is the realistic guarantee for defeating the enemy and winning the victory. Only in this way can we not underestimate the enemy and produce thoughts that paralyze and underestimate the enemy.

As for what I said before, the old slave was afraid of me and gave up the east coast of Changbai Mountain. In fact, the old slave was out of consideration of the terrain.

It's like playing chess.

In many cases, the more captures do not mean that you have the upper hand, but the next step is to fall into a dead end.

The situation is the situation.

Now the two sides seem to be at a stalemate, I stopped at the east coast of Changbai Mountain, and the old slave stopped at Changbai Mountain, all because of this.

It is not difficult to eat Xin'anbao, or even Fengcheng.

The old slave didn't send heavy troops in these two places, he wished he could take these two places by himself.

After taking these two lands, Ming expanded his territory, but in fact he fell into a passive position and gave up the power of offense and defense to the barbarians.

These two places are too far away from the coast, and the flow of materials is not good. It is not cost-effective for Jinzhou Zhenjiang, which is currently accumulating strength and developing rapidly.

"How the cavalry attack the city and plunder the fort, let me do it."

Li Bosheng laughed.

Dazzling eyes looked at Li Bosheng arrogantly.

"When we fought against Haicheng the year before last, my cavalry battalion did not fall behind."

"Use this moment and that moment, so as not to waste precious cavalry."

Li Bosheng responded gently.

"You two don't have to do this. How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Why do you need to come forward for such a trivial matter? Let me leave it to my brothers in the Liao private camp."

Li Qi took advantage of the time when the two were fighting each other, and rushed to fight.

"Hahaha."

Seeing that the generals in the army had a strong heart to fight, Tang Qing'an laughed happily.

When everyone heard the general's laughter, they were no longer elated as before, and the morale of Xianshanbao was high for a while.

"If you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive; if you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost."

Tang Qing'an stopped laughing.

All the generals fell silent, waiting for the general's order.

"Although this Xin'an Fort is strong, I and everyone don't take it seriously. It's just that it's easy to take down this place, but it's hard to keep it.

The old slave used Xin'an and Fengcheng as bait, the bait is really not small, I really want to eat it.

It's just that I want to eat his bait, not because I'm greedy for these two places, let's not mention Fengcheng, this Tong Yangzhen stopped the killing of Liao people and ruined my plan, so I can't be disturbed lightly.

So I swallowed the bait and returned it to him with an empty hook, depending on whether he was willing to continue taking the bait. "

After Tang Qing'an finished speaking, he saw that everyone understood what he meant, so he asked.

"How many people are under Tong Yangzhen's command? Can Xin'anbao have new reinforcements?"

"Some new manpower has been added, but not many. According to inquiries, there are more than [-] defenders in this fort.

Among them, there were 300 barbarian soldiers and more than [-] Han soldiers. "

Chen Kaiwu responded.

"With such a small number of people, if you don't learn from Fengcheng and stay behind closed doors, you dare to come out to fight. It must be because of the favorable location, I will not dare to cross the mountains and mountains to fight Xin'anbao."

Tang Qing'an sneered when he heard the words.

"But he doesn't know that if I want to attack Xin'anbao, I only want his head and don't want the old slave's land. If the old slave sends someone again.

Honestly, if I learn from Fengcheng, I will save his life for now. If I still learn from Tong Yangzhen, I will take his dog's life.

So many times, I see who the old slave will send. If he sends a large army, I will welcome him very much. I will consume his food and grass according to the land, and see if he can supply it for a long time. "

The general made his decision.

For a while, all the generals asked for a fight, and no one would let anyone else.

Tang Qing'an glanced at the generals and quickly made a decision.

"Wu Zhenmeng, Huayan, Li Bosheng, Li Qi, Zhu Xiu."

Those who read their names lined up one by one in high spirits, waiting for the general's order.

"Wu Zhenmeng is the main general in the middle battalion, the Huayan cavalry battalion is the front battalion, responsible for sweeping the battlefield, Li Qi is the left front battalion, Zhu Xiu is the right front battalion, Li Bosheng is the rear battalion.

The Fifth Battalion, with 5000 people, won the fort within five days, and quickly brought Tong Yangzhen Goutou back to Zhenjiang, and they were not allowed to stay in Xin'an Fort. "

Wu Zhenmeng was a general who was born in the East China Sea Battalion, and Li Shenghu and Li Shenghu were collectively called the Second Dragon and Tiger General of the East China Sea by the army.

With Wu Zhenmeng as the main general, Tang Qing'an felt more at ease.

Huayan is brave, but his personality is not stable enough. Although Li Qi and Zhu Xiu have the style of generals, they are not qualified enough to suppress Huayan.

Li Bosheng is calm, and he is extremely reliable in providing assistance to the army at any time in the rear camp.

When everyone heard that Wu Zhenmeng was the main general, even if they were dazzled, they suppressed their dissatisfaction, after all, this person has full qualifications.

He is the old man who was born in the Donghai Battalion and has been with the general for the longest time. Since the war, no one is convinced by his ability, including Huayan.

"I will obey the order, and I will go to Xin'an within five days."

Tang Qing'an nodded.

Look at the remaining Li Shenghu, Chen Kaiwu.

The two most effective generals of the Donghai Battalion, since Wu Zhenmeng has left, Li Shenghu will stay to ensure the safety of the rear.

Chen Kaiwu is experienced in doing things, and there will be no omissions. With these two guarding Zhenjiang, Tang Qing'an can rest assured.

Tang Qing'an originally didn't plan to send out a large army in the past two years, except for the military fort in the Changbai Mountains, there were often small groups fighting each other.

One is that the former Supreme Emperor gave some supplies to Zhenjiang, and the other is to protect the fleeing Liao people, so Tang Qing'an still gritted his teeth and sent 5000 people to fight.

Although it was only five days, the consumption was not small.

In fact, there are only a few hundred defenders in a small Xin'an Fort.

It's just that Tang Qing'an likes to crush them with strength the most.

Since going to sea, he has always been looking for opportunities to take advantage of the battles he presided over, and fought very few with extreme strength, except for the city defense battle of the Jinzhou defense battle.

It's a waste of military power.

But Tang Qing'an is self-aware.

I am not a genius. Over the years, I have dealt with military affairs, combined with Qi Jiguang's art of war, and I have become more and more familiar with it.

It's just that the cleverness of using it is all in one's heart.

Some people's talents are indeed rewarded by God, so Tang Qing'an has always been cautious.

Don't be afraid of trouble, but be afraid of carelessness.

As far as he knew, the leaders of the five Khalkha tribes had their humiliating ending because of the wave war a few years ago.

Not only did he end up miserable when he was captured, but he also implicated his own tribe. The barbarians used his name to be manipulated by the various tribes of Khalkha, and they were finally wiped out.

There is no shame in fighting a dull battle, it is shameful to lose a battle.

Under the influence of Tang Qing'an, the generals in Jinzhou Zhenjiang more or less like to use power to suppress others.

Although a little stiff, but very stable.

Not to mention how the civilian husbands transported supplies to Xianshanbao, and how each general recruited his subordinates. Three days later, [-] troops set off from Xianshanbao and traveled all the way across the mountains.

Xin'an Fort is a small fort, a military fort built to defend against the barbarians. Even when it was still in the hands of Da Zhou, the garrison was only 450 people, just three piers.

In terms of garrison strength and the size of the military fort, it is far from being comparable to the dangerous mountain fort.

Now Xin'an Fort has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, and there are more than five hundred soldiers in the fort. Compared with the two or three hundred people in Zhenjiang, the military strength in their hands has also increased.

But Tong Yangzhen was not happy.

How can Xin'anbao be compared with Zhenjiang.

If it wasn't for the fact that his ancestors were originally from the Jurchen clan, and the former fan abandoned the city and fled, he would definitely not have had a better end.

Although his reason was very reasonable and was approved by the Great Khan, the general of the Eight Banners was very domineering.

I heard that someone in Shenyang suggested the establishment of the Han Army Banner, but I don't know if it will be approved by the Great Khan.

Nowadays, there are quite a few Han sergeants in the hands of the barbarians, and they are now collectively called Han soldiers. If the Han army flag can be established, the status will be different.

Although Tong Yangzhen's ancestors belonged to the Jurchen clan, his ancestors have experienced the pre-Ming Dynasty, and now it has been more than two hundred years in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, he is still regulated by the Han army, and his status is higher than that of ordinary Han generals, but lower than that of barbarian generals.

Therefore, he is also willing to establish the Han army flag.

But I don’t know why the always wise Khan has always disagreed. According to Tong Yangzhen’s understanding of Khan, this is good for the barbarians
Not to mention the other things, at least it can win the hearts of the Han soldiers.

But Da Khan has never agreed, which makes Tong Yangzhen puzzled, because this is really not like Da Khan's style.

Regardless of these, Tong Yangzhen, in order to reverse his previous negative impression, has been out of the city for several days to intercept and kill the refugees who are going to Zhenjiang.

Although there were many beheads, the soldiers in the castle were reluctant to leave the city at first, even the barbarian soldiers.

Because the fleeing refugees had nothing, the morale of the soldiers was still high in the first few days, but after they left the fort for more than a month, they complained.

Tong Yangzhen understands why his subordinates are like this.

Regardless of whether it is the Eight Banners Army or the Han Army, unlike the battalions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are not paid.

Not only do they have no military pay, but they also have to bring their own dry food, horses, armor, and equipment. Only weapons and marching provisions are issued.

and.

Whether it is the Han army or the Eight Banners army, they must pay the poll tax to the Great Khan.

On the opposite side, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Battalion received military pay and food, and also exempted the service tax of the sergeant's family.

Then why can the barbarians maintain a high morale, which is far higher than that of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Battalion.

Because the barbarians allocated land to each sergeant.

The most important thing is that not only can you ask the Liao people to help you farm the land, but you can also live and eat in the Liao people's home for free.

Very simple truth.

The Liao people in Liaozuo are their nourishment.

Although the current barbarians have established a country, they are actually a bandit group, using robbery and looting as their means of development.

The battalion soldiers of the Great Zhou had military pay and food, and their family members were exempted from tax and face-to-face corvee, but they were still ordinary people.

The Eight Banners soldiers of the barbarians are slave owners.

The battalion soldiers of the Great Zhou had won battles and received some rewards. When the war was over, they would still have to work hard to farm the land after returning home.

The Eight Banners soldiers of the barbarians won battles, obtained more land and more slaves, all of which were their own property.

Tong Yangzhen was a general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he has defected to the barbarians, and he is also a general.

Secretly compared.

Concluded.

The former Zhou soldiers fought for the emperor, while the latter barbarians fought for themselves.

Instead of regretting that he was too hasty to defect to the barbarians, Tong Yang was really preparing to call his subordinates to encourage the morale of the army.

"Report, found Zhenjiang army cavalry."
