Chapter 1047 Putting Hope on Mao Wenlong's Chu Ying
Seeing Ma Chong approaching, Luo Rong went up to meet him.

"I don't know what happened, but 500 people came here. They didn't even catch a hair, and they didn't sleep for most of the night. This is good."

Luo Rong spread his hands to express helplessness.

Ma Chong looked at Chu Ying again. It was Chu Ying who suggested that Nurhachi might come to attack at night tonight, so he asked them to take more precautions. Now the night attack is coming, but the scale is really funny, and Chu Ying doesn't know what to do. How to say.

"Forget it, I guess this is a matter or Lao Luo's problem."

Ma Chong fired at Luo Rong.

Luo Rong looked surprised: "My question?"

"That's right, you were the one who ordered the killing, but they only came with 500 people. This is obviously a temptation. The large force is behind. If you let them go, when their large force arrives, you will definitely catch big fish. As a result, you You startled the snake, the big fish ran away, and these 500 people made us sleepless for most of the night, do you think it is your fault?"

Luo Rong blinked, but didn't find anything wrong with Ma Chong's words.

Like, really?

After all, they all agreed that Nurhachi would not sit still, and would definitely find a way to turn things around. Night raids were his only means, so they decided together to launch an anti-night raid. Get rid of it, and the big event will be done, don't wait for Mao Wenlong to attack the Jianzhou tribe.

As a result, only these [-] small fish and shrimps have been harvested now, and there is no one of status in terms of clothes. Now that they are intimidating, Nurhachi will definitely not dare to attack again, and can only fight head-on during the day.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, the terrain is more familiar to the Jianzhou Army, and the number is no less than that of the Qin Army. Although the combat power is weak, but the number is there, it is not difficult to force a forceful attack to win, but the loss may be great. Of course they won't mind if they win at a lower cost.

After all, this elite Liaodong Corps was built with [-] elite Burmese soldiers as the backbone. After the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, Xiao Ruxun reorganized the four battalions, and strengthened the staffing of the White Tiger Battalion and Warrior Wolf Battalion for the Liaodong Raiders. The Corps has been strengthened a lot, and a group of Burmese officers have been brought in.

Our old brothers, who are still literate, are really reluctant to die in large numbers on foreign battlefields. After several years of war in Burma, the war against Dongwu remnants, and the Northern Expedition, the earliest 3000 Burmese elite soldiers have already fought More than [-] people died.

And there are fewer old brothers who followed Xiao Ruxun from Ningxia to North Korea and then to Burma.

If one dies, there will be no one. We have been in love for so many years, and it is really uncomfortable.

However, there has been news recently that the emperor plans to reorganize the entire army. I don’t know how the reorganization method is, but in everyone’s opinion, the establishment of the four battalions is indeed too big, and it is not enough. I guess In the future, it will definitely be broken up and reorganized. This is also something that the lieutenant generals are psychologically prepared for.

It's just that I don't know how the former commander-in-chief and the current emperor plan to reorganize.

But all of this has nothing to do with the Liaodong Corps. When the Liaodong Corps set off, Xiao Ruxun told them to guard Liaodong well, and fight hard if there are combat missions. The reorganization of the army did not start with you, you should be at the end.

Obviously, Xiao Ruxun planned to launch more than one battle in Liaodong, and seemed to have the idea of ​​completely eliminating the hidden dangers in Liaodong.

This is a military exploit for the Liaodong Corps, and everyone is very excited.

Of course Luo Rong was also very excited, but this ambush was really not a good one.

"Even so, now that the dust has settled, what can I do? The barbarians are quite cunning, and there are still people coming to find the way."

"What did His Majesty say before sending troops? You can't underestimate any opponent! No matter who it is, you must pay attention to it, and you can't underestimate it. Then what did Your Majesty say? Oh, by the way, is it rare for a ship to capsize in the gutter? ?Um?"

When Ma Chong caught the opportunity, he wanted to educate Luo Rong severely to show his cultural accomplishment, but Luo Rong looked at him with disdain.

"Don't you just know 23 more characters than me? What's the point?"

"23 characters is not a character, is it? I have read one more "Wu Zi's Art of War" than you, why don't you say it?"

"Returning to "Wu Zi's Art of War", there are no documents that explain it to you in plain language, so you can understand it? How long have you been literate? You have to pretend to be an educated person, and don't see if you are that material!"

Luo Rong continued to mock Ma Chong.

Although the White Tiger Battalion and the War Wolf Battalion have the same level of organization, but because the White Tiger Battalion has more people and is more comprehensive, the War Wolf Battalion has fewer people and is still a pure cavalry battalion. They have the same status as the lieutenant generals of the four major main corps, and the two are actually on equal footing in the army.

This time, Liao Zhong stipulated that Ma Chong should be the main general and Luo Rong should be the deputy general, but Luo Rong was not afraid of such bickering.

The two returned to sleep in the barracks cursing, leaving Chu Ying alone to look at the worrisome battlefield and the five hundred dead clansmen and lament inwardly.

At the same time, his heart was full of resentment towards Nurhachi.

If it weren't for you, none of them would have to die, and everyone wouldn't have to die.

He began to pin his hopes on Mao Wenlong's long-distance raid, hoping that Mao Wenlong's attack would be successful as soon as possible, so that these tribesmen in front of him would collapse as soon as possible, and stop fighting against the Daqin army. One more day of confrontation would kill thousands more people. unaffordable.

If all the men are killed in battle, can the Jianzhou Jurchen continue to exist?

It's really hard to tell.

Mao Wenlong played on the fine traditions of Mao Sui, an old man with the same surname, and showed his talent in front of Ma Chong. He successfully won the command of two thousand elite cavalry, and was given the right to attack the Jianzhou tribe, psychologically destroying the army. The important task of destroying the Jianzhou Army.

In his opinion, this is very meaningful, because once the lives of family members are threatened, the frontline troops have no will to fight. The reason why they can stand in the front is to protect the family members behind them.

After falling behind, why fight?

This was the fastest way to kill the battle. Mao Wenlong didn't dare to slack off. After Chu Ying marked the route on the map, he led the cavalry to run for hundreds of miles.

He rounded Chimney Hill, continued south, turned east, and headed northeast.

A big detour bypassed any possibility of the Jianzhou soldiers' defense. Along the way, they pulled out three Jurchen villages to replenish their supplies, ate a meal of meat, killed a group of people, and then continued on the road with a pat on their stomachs.

He was not at all worried that the two thousand elite cavalry would not be convinced. He was only 23 years old, and he grandly led the two thousand cavalry who followed Xiao Ruxun to the Northern Expedition, and commanded them without humility, asking them to do this and that. Don't treat yourself as an outsider.

However, the two thousand cavalry were surprisingly not disgusted with his command.

Because Mao Wenlong's command was very methodical, seemingly reckless, but in fact he was very smart, and he led them all the way without hesitation at all, as if he didn't worry about his going the wrong way at all.

He was also quite sharp when he attacked the village, he was merciless, killing people was like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, he didn't look like a person who had read military books and literate, no wonder he was appreciated by Ma Chong and brought him by his side as a soldier officer.

It was his first time to lead an army to such an extent, these veteran cavalrymen really didn't have much opinion of him.
