Chapter 168 Take the initiative to attack
~~~~~~
The sky was gloomy, with lightning flashing across the sky from time to time. Although the big storm had weakened a lot, the rain had not stopped and the strong wind was still raging. Looking at it, the big storm was probably going to continue.
It was noon at this time, and the visibility was much higher.
Looking around, although the waves on the sea are still turbulent, they have weakened a lot compared to the morning. The swing of the fleet in the bay is also much smaller than that in the morning.
Li Yuanqing carefully got out of the shack and came to the open space beside him, feeling the moist cold wind blowing in his face.
The wind is still not light, but it has weakened a lot compared to the big storm. Li Yuanqing estimates that if the big storm is level 7 to 8, or above, it should be around level 4 at this time. People standing in the wind
, you can clearly feel the strong wind force, but it is not so strong that people cannot control their body and can barely move freely.
At this time, there was a mess everywhere in the camp, and many soldiers had been injured in the storm just now. They were gathered together carefully in groups of three and five, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm. They should be fine for the time being.
The Bay Camp is located in a low-lying area. On the hillside about a mile away, there are still many corpses of war horses that were swallowed up by the storm. Many soldiers of the Hou Jin Dynasty also regained their composure at this time and secretly spied on the Ming army here.
's camp.
Li Yuanqing glanced around and realized that the storm just now had a more serious impact on the Jin Army.
Not to mention this time, even in later generations, technological civilization has become so advanced, but there is still a lack of strong response plans in the face of such natural disasters.
At this time, Li Yuanqing was not worried about the Hou Jin Army not far away. He was more worried that the weather would continue to worsen. Once the storm continued to increase in scope, causing earthquakes and tsunamis, then~~, the foundations of the three departments, including Li Yuanqing's three small businesses
Life, that would be dangerous.
In this situation, although Bay Camp can be avoided for a while, it will never be avoided forever.
Although Houjin was in a panic at this time, in fact, this was mainly due to their lack of preparation. Once a big storm struck again, the hillside area where they were located would be a safer location.
"Yuan Qing, the wind has dropped a lot now. We can't stay here for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to board the ship quickly?" Chen Zhong also climbed out of the shack at this time, glanced around, and whispered to Li Yuanqing.
Zhang Pan also crawled out. He had a gash on his face. It was already scarred and looked a bit ferocious. Seeing this appearance, he also said: "Yuan Qing, it's not too late to mend the situation. This
The weather here is too bad, we can't do any more ink here, it's not far from Changsheng Island, let's go back to Changsheng Island first, and then make plans, right?"
Li Yuanqing nodded, but said: "There is no rush now. I think this storm may continue. If we are trapped at sea, it will be more dangerous than here. Besides, we still have many brothers who have not made it here.
We can’t leave now.”
Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong were both stunned. They did not expect that at this moment, Li Yuanqing would hesitate.
Chen Zhong said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, we can turn around and rescue people, but we don't have much food and grass. If we stay here in Moji and be surrounded by the Hou Jin army, it will not be good."
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "The sea is right here. We have a boat, so what are we afraid of? Brothers, I still have some food and grass on the boat, which is enough to last for a few days. Besides, Changsheng Island is so close, we can replenish food and grass at any time. These
Dog Tatars, how dare you chase us all the way, if you give them such an advantage, wouldn’t it make them think that we are easy to bully?”
Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan couldn't help being shocked. Zhang Pan said incredulously: "Yuan Qing, you, you mean, let's, let's kill these dog Tatars again?"
Li Yuanqing smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "That's right. Brothers, we are very tired now. They have livestock, so they must be even more tired. I am going to give them a hard blow. Brothers, you two don't need to go out,
All you need to do is guard the camp."
With that said, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to Huang Guoshan and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Huang Guoshan nodded vigorously, and soon, the camp was filled with figures of running messengers.
In normal times, the gathering orders of the Changsheng Camp are all sounded by beating drums, but now, all the baggage has been discarded, and the big drum cannot be carried. Moreover, the wind is very strong, and the propagation power of the sound is very poor, which is not as good as the running of the messengers.
Subpoena.
The various departments of the Changsheng Battalion are organized with the commander-in-chief as the core. Even if they are scattered, small groups of troops can be gathered together with the commander-in-chief of each department without much effort.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong hurriedly began to summon various departments to help Li Yuanqing. Unfortunately, they did not have the awareness of the training mechanism of the Changsheng Camp, so their actions seemed chaotic and scattered.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Changsheng Camp had been assembled, but Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong were still in a mess.
At this point, Li Yuanqing no longer cares about the two of them.
Our own side is recovering, which also means that the post-Jin army is also recovering.
War is sometimes more than tactics, strategy and equipment, nor is it just the so-called 'right time, right place and right people'. More often, it requires the commander's adaptability, feeling and understanding of the battlefield, and the most critical thing.
One thing is to be decisive, dare to fight, and dare to fight.
This is why throughout the ages, there are thousands of people who are familiar with military literature, but there are always only a few famous generals who can leave their names.
Because there were Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan in the rear, Li Yuanqing no longer needed to stay behind to guard the camp and fleet. The more than 2,000 soldiers of Changsheng Camp quickly assembled into the most familiar square formation according to daily drills.
Li Yuanqing was in the middle, the steel knife suddenly unsheathed, "Eternal Life Camp, move forward."
For a moment, with the messengers running back and forth and the officers of each unit shouting loudly, the Changsheng Battalion phalanx, like a slowly running machine, slowly forced its way towards the Houjin Camp on the hillside.
On the hillside, the Hou Jin army who had been watching the Ming army camp were dumbfounded. They simply could not imagine that in such weather and terrain conditions, the Ming army dared to brave the world and launch an attack against the trend.
,Are they crazy?
But this phalanx had left a deep impression on them yesterday, how could they dare to neglect it? They quickly notified the three masters.
The weather was so bad, everything around was wet, and it was impossible to light a bonfire. The three Jia Lazhangjings were huddled under a big tree, keeping warm while discussing how to deal with the situation at hand, when they suddenly got the news that the Ming army actually took the initiative to attack.
information.
They couldn't believe it and hurried to the front to investigate.
Looking at the slow but familiar phalanx of the Ming army, the three of them looked at each other, their expressions a little ugly.
La Zhangjing, a man in his forties wearing a red flag, said: "These smart dogs are really bullying people. They simply don't take us, Dajin, seriously. Just wait, I will teach them a lesson now."
He said this and turned around to leave.
"Suotong, what are you in a hurry for? Have you forgotten yesterday's lesson?" Jia Lazhangjing, the leader of Zhenglan Banner, quickly grabbed Suotong with a stern look on his face.
Although Suotong is old and angry at this time, he is not stupid. If he attacks the Ming army's formation now, even if he is from a high position, he can gather more power, but the Ming army's formation is very tight, even if
If he can gain something, the price must be high.
Although the Hou Jin Army was invincible, in fact, the casualty ratio they could withstand was very, very low.
Back then, under the city of Yangzhou, facing the tight defense of the Ming army, the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry often dispersed after more than a hundred casualties.
This is also a great characteristic of nomadic people.
When fighting with the wind, they are almost invincible, but once the wind goes against them, there are almost no people who can fight hard, including the elites of Lao Nu and Two Yellow Flags.
"Kurtu, the Ming army has bullied us. What do you think we should do?" Suotong looked at Jia La Zhangjing, who was holding the blue flag.
This Jurchen took a Mongolian name.
Kurtu narrowed his eyes slightly, and of course he could see the contempt in Soton's eyes.
This is something that cannot be expressed in words, but can be clearly felt.
In terms of blood, he is of the genuine Aixinjueluo bloodline. Unfortunately, his father died early, and he was forced to remarry his mother, who was married to a Mongolian from the Horqin tribe. Since he was a child, he has been
Behind the Mongols, I grew up in a yurt and learned all the essential skills of the Mongols.
Since he joined the army as a teenager, he started from the most basic garrison, step by step, and now, he has made countless military exploits. If based on merit and bloodline, he is definitely qualified to be promoted to Baylor. Unfortunately, he is now
Not even a shellfish was found.
Kurtu understood that all this was because of his Mongolian heritage, which made others feel that he was not a pure Jurchen, even though he was the bravest warrior.
"What should I do? What else can I do? Are you going to bite this hedgehog?" Kurtu said coldly.
Originally, faced with such a situation, Kurtu didn't want to get entangled with this Ming army and just took a step back. After all, they had the advantage of horsepower, but Suotong's eyes deeply hurt his heart.
At this time, he only had one Niu Lu force under his command, but Suo Tong had four. In the past, he was able to frighten Suo Tong just by relying on his previous achievements and his bloodline, but now, with three of them, in two days, he
, I didn’t get half of the benefits, but I ate a lot of ashes and got wet in the rain for a day. How can it be so easy to gather military morale again?
Since Sotong wanted to die, how could Kurtu stop him?
Seeing Kurtu's appearance, Sotong became even more angry in his heart. How could a bastard who was raised by the Mongols be so proud?
"Shu Qi, what do you think?" Suotong was too lazy to pay attention to Kurtu and looked at the other Jia La Zhangjing with a red flag next to him.
Shu Qi has five Niu Lu under his command, and they are at full strength. He is also the most powerful of the three at this time.
Although he is young, only in his early thirties, he is Yue Tuo's confidant and arm. At this time, looking at the Ming army slowly swarming up like ants, he smiled coldly, "This Ming army is really rampant.
We have to teach them a lesson. Sotong, let’s produce two Niu Lu each and teach them a lesson.”
Suotong laughed loudly, "Okay. Very good. Let's do it like this. Come and gather the warriors to form an array."
It was only him, and Suotong still had some scruples. But at this moment, Shu Qi opened his mouth, how could he refuse?
Soon, four bulls and more than 1,000 cavalrymen on the hillside began to harass the whole team.
However, the storm in the morning greatly frightened the war horses. At this time, even though the soldiers shouted loudly, they were not very obedient.
Kurtu watched this scene coldly and remained silent.
