Wanli 1592

Chapter 601 Unpredictable

Xiao Ruxun left the tent and rushed to the front line very quickly. Regarding the current battle situation, Xiao Ruxun was already fully sure to kill Lalik and clean up all the northern captives in Shanxi, but even so, his doubts were still there. get the perfect answer.

He always had the feeling that he was being led by the nose, and it was strange that the person who led him by the nose didn't seem to have any malice towards him, but rather sent Lalik to a dead end in a very sensible way.

There seemed to be a strange balance between the speed of his chasing troops and the speed of Lalik, the difference was just one night.

In this case, the sentry cavalry can always catch up with Lalik's troops, so that they will not be lost. After they arrived in Wenquan Town, they stayed for one night for some reason. Surrounding the narrow place of the hot spring town.

At first, there was only surprise in my heart, but after gradually calming down, Xiao Ruxun realized how strange it was for Beilu to stay in Wenquan Town. The terrain here is rugged, with many mountains and rivers, and most of the roads are very narrow and difficult to walk. It is definitely not a cavalry. ideas.

Xiao Ruxun was puzzled by the fact that the northern prisoner was walking southward, and it was even more strange that he chose to stay overnight in Hot Spring Town.

Does Beilu have any other ideas?

With such worries, Xiao Ruxun sent people to search for the enemy in all directions, but the sentry cavalry who came back said that they did not see any traces of the Beilu, and the ground did not look like a large number of horses galloped. Basically, it can be concluded that the Beilu remained All the troops under his command were trapped in Hot Spring Town.

This is not a suitable place for cavalry to fight at all. According to the battlefield chosen by those northern captives before, they should not be so stupid. So what is the reason?
This feeling of being controlled by others made Xiao Ruxun very uncomfortable, so he first calmed down with the two general soldiers, let the power nourish his heart, and then faced the situation in front of him with a peaceful mind. War, so that you can ensure that you will not make mistakes.

Right now, I have an absolute advantage. Hot Spring Town is surrounded by groups, and the artillery is all ready. What's even better is that these northern captives are ready to break out, but they always have to eat before breaking out, so they have to light a fire. The Ming army found the target of the attack.

So just as the sky was about to darken, Xiao Ruxun arrived at the front line.

They can't really let them eat their stomachs before fighting to the death. In that case, their combat effectiveness will increase a lot. Their morale must be knocked down to the bottom, and then the army will go to fight hand-to-hand, and the smallest price will be exchanged for the biggest Victory, this is Xiao Ruxun's consistent principle of using troops.

Use firearms to solve problems that can be solved with firearms. If you can't solve them with firearms, then think of other methods. As for hand-to-hand combat, it is the last resort.

It is not easy to train elite soldiers, Xiao Ruxun is not very willing to let himself pay too much sacrifice with three thousand elite soldiers who are well-trained, well-equipped and loyal.

Each of them is an elite that Xiao Ruxun fed with money, and hundreds of thousands of people poured money into them.

The financial expenditure of the imperial court only accounted for about one-twentieth of the military expenditure of the entire Myanmar town. Basically, Xiao Ruxun paid his own money to build the army, and the soldiers paid his salary, ate his food, and wore his clothes.

Of course, only obey his orders.

This is the elite army that orders and prohibits. The hard work and energy required to train such an army cannot be summed up in one or two sentences.

It is no exaggeration to say that such an army of [-], with complete logistics, is enough to sweep the entire Jiangnan. There is no army in the entire Jiangnan that can compete with Xiao Ruxun's Zhennan Army.

In the north, only the servants of the generals in the Nine Frontiers had the confidence to fight against the Zhennan Army. For example, Li Rusong's elite 7000 servants were comparable to the combat effectiveness of the Zhennan Army.

Of course, if those 7000 people belonged to the Zhennan Army, the Zhennan Army would be able to run rampant throughout the territory of the Ming Dynasty and even on the northern grasslands.

It is impossible for Xiao Ruxun to let such an army follow him around and suffer huge casualties, but in order to train their courage and experience against cavalry, Xiao Ruxun is still willing to let them go to fight.

The soldiers of the Zhennan Army who survived this war will become the most combative force in the army. They can all become grassroots officers in the Zhennan Army, and popularize common sense against cavalry to other armies.

Despite such beliefs, Xiao Ruxun was very sad and distressed by the loss of 650 people who died in battle and 89 people who were seriously injured and disabled and lost their ability to serve as soldiers forever.

650 seven people were killed in battle. During the three years in Myanmar, the total number of Zhennan Army soldiers who died in battle was less than 650. Now, [-] seven people have died in battle in less than two months...

How should they face their loved ones?

Xiao Ruxun thought about the future in this way.

"Governor! The artillery is fully prepared. We just wait for the governor to give an order, and then we can start bombarding the enemy. Please give the governor instructions!"

Wang Hui and Li Rusong came to Xiao Ruxun hand in hand, and Wang Hui first reported the preparations of the artillery unit.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and then set his eyes on Li Rusong.

Li Rusong felt uncomfortable being watched by Xiao Ruxun.

"Mr. Li, the governor has decided to use your Jurchen Jingqi [-] as the vanguard, and Chu Ying and Dai Shan as the vanguard generals. After my artillery bombards, I will use them to attack the hot spring town first. Don't worry about pulling Rick, as long as Kill those who still resist, and it doesn't matter if you kill Lalik.

Then, Li Rumei and Li Rubai led the remaining Jurchen elite cavalry to rush in to clean up the battlefield. Li Zongbing led the Liaodong Han cavalry as a guerrilla force to go guerrilla outside the town. , please be sure to restrain the soldiers under your command, whether it is Han cavalry or Jurchen cavalry.

I estimate that in Wenquan Town, there are probably a large amount of treasures that the northern captives plundered from Datong Shanxi. For rewards, my request is that looting is not allowed, and private taking is not allowed. Once I find someone looting and taking privately, whose army is it, I will start with the leader and general. "

Li Rusong looked up at Xiao Ruxun, saw the frightening light in his eyes, felt chills for no reason, and clasped his fists in agreement.

"The last will obey!"

Then, Li Rusong turned around and left to make arrangements.

This is in line with Xiao Ruxun's principles of leading troops. If you say you are unhappy, you are unhappy. If you say it is strange, it is not strange. The only thing that Li Rusong finds strange is - when did Nurhachi offend Xiao Ruxun?
It is not the first time that Li Rusong has such doubts, but it doesn't matter, anyway, it is not the Liaodong Han under his command who rode in as the vanguard. With this terrain and this road, he is not willing to lead the cavalry as the vanguard. It is obvious that under such circumstances, the infantry will charge. More beneficial isn't it?

Xiao Ruxun's thoughts are really unpredictable...
