Daming wolf ride

Five thousand rebels?

All the generals were shocked, and their expressions were a little heavy.

Indeed, the strength of the rebels put pressure on the Jinzhou generals.This time they went south with only 700 people, but the rebels had 5000 people. The difference in strength between the enemy and us is huge. If we really want to bump into each other, this battle will be difficult to fight. Even if we can win it, the casualties will be heavy.

Thinking that Dengzhou still has the main force of the rebel army, if the five thousand rebels consume too many troops, how will the subsequent battle be fought? Should Dengzhou go or not?If you go, what can you do with this little remnant soldier?If you don't go, how can you explain to the court?

All the generals had doubts in their hearts, and they were also a little worried. As bold as Cao Bianjiao, he also realized how much the lack of troops would hinder the current actions of the Jinzhou Army. [

If instead of 700 people going south, 5000 people went south, needless to say, it was [-] rebels, even if there were [-] more, the generals would not feel troubled.

However, the fact is that the Jinzhou Army only has 700 people, which will inevitably make every move of the Jinzhou Army more cautious and cautious, and cannot easily lose its strength, otherwise, they will not be going to suppress the rebellion, but to die.

Shi Dayong also felt very troublesome. The sudden appearance of the enemy made him a little unprepared. Before that, he always thought that all the rebels had gone to Dengzhou, so he thought that as long as they arrived in Dengzhou day and night, the military order would be fulfilled. Under the unified command of Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian, he fought a decisive battle with the rebels, and the outcome was determined by the first battle.Unexpectedly, a tiger suddenly jumped out of the way halfway, which disrupted his overall plan and made his rapid march these days wishful thinking.

Why didn't Shandong inform me of such an important enemy situation?

Shi Dayong couldn't understand, 5000 people, not 500 or [-] people can be easily hidden, what kind of food is there in Shandong, and they don't know at all, didn't they send out sentinels to spy carefully!

Without knowing the deployment of the rebel army at all, he repeatedly urged himself to speed up and rush to Dengzhou. Didn't this make him run into the rebel army like a blind man!

If it weren't for Gao Qiqian's letter, Shi Dayong would not have dared to imagine the consequences of encountering the rebels suddenly without knowing it.

Days of hasty marches have consumed too much physical strength of the soldiers, and they encountered the rebels unprepared

Shi Dayong didn't dare to think about it anymore, he scolded Shandong governor Zhu Dadian in his heart, then let out a sigh of relief, waved to Guo Yi, and ordered: "Get the picture."

Guo Yi heard the order and hurried to get the picture.This map was sent by Xie Yiqing, the head of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War when he left Beijing. This map is not a complete map of the Ming Dynasty, but a partial topographic map of Hebei and Shandong.And unlike the maps of later generations, what is drawn on this map is only simple lines, listing key points such as cities, mountains, mausoleums, roads, etc., and the rest are not marked.Strictly speaking, this cannot be regarded as a combat map, it is too simple.

However, this simple topographic map is like a bright light in the dark to the Jinzhou Army who is not familiar with the place. Without it, Shi Dayong would not even know where he is and how far he is from his destination .

Taking a closer look at the picture, Shi Dayong raised his head and asked the two sergeants of the Shenji Battalion: "The rebels are entrenched in Shahe?"

The tall sergeant replied: "Returning to the general, the thief general Chen sometimes camped in Shahe."

Moved his fingers away from Shahe, glanced at the prefectures and counties near Shahe, and asked the two soldiers: "Where is your Shenji Battalion stationed now?"

"Shang County." It was still the tall sergeant's words.

"How long have you been in Shang County?" Shi Dayong asked while watching.

"Seven days."

"Since you arrived in Shang County seven days ago, why haven't you taken any action against the Shahe rebels?" Shi Dayong glanced at the two Shenji Battalion sergeants with some dissatisfaction.

"This..." The tall sergeant didn't know how to answer this question. To be honest, the emperor's imperial army feared the enemy like a tiger, which really made the sergeant with a little blood in his heart ashamed. [

The slightly shorter sergeant next to him said: "The general does not know that the rebels in Shahe are all Liao soldiers from Dongjiang. They are quite good at fighting, and the rebels are no less powerful than us, so Eunuch Gao was afraid of making mistakes, so he ordered us to wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Dayong cut it off, "What reinforcements are you waiting for? Your Beijing camp is the reinforcements, who are you waiting for! To put it bluntly, your Beijing camp is afraid that you won't be able to defeat the rebels, so you're hiding in Shang County. Do you dare to move?"

The short sergeant froze, blinked his mouth, and did not speak.

The tall sergeant raised his head, and said with some grief and indignation: "Eunuch Gao won't let us go out of the city, we just want to go out of the city, what can we do?"

Hearing this, Shi Dayong shook his head, he didn't comment on whether the Chongzhen Emperor's supervisors were good or bad, but the Beijing camp was really rotten, and he didn't know what the imperial court spent so much military salary on raising these wastes every year!If these military salaries were used on other frontier soldiers, I'm afraid the situation would not be as bad as it is today.

It's useless to say these words to these two soldiers, and it's okay to be too harsh on them, after all, they also obey orders.The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and the Beijing camp obeys the orders of the supervising eunuchs and does not leave the city.

Sighing, he changed the subject and asked them: "Gao Gonggong asked you to send this letter, what else can you say?"

"No." The two shook their heads at the same time.

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Shi Dayong said: "Shang County is more than 40 miles away from here. The two of you have suffered a lot of wind and snow along the way to deliver a letter to this general. It is really hard work. Please stay in the general's camp. Use some hot food, take a break and go back."

The two of them were really frozen, and they hurriedly thanked after hearing the words: "Thank you, General!"

At that moment, Guo Yi took the two of them to the kitchen.After the two of them left, Cao Bianjiao hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and asked Shi Dayong: "General, we beat up the people from the Imperial Horse Supervisor and detained his people from the Beijing camp. But why are you so kind to remind us not to take risks?"

His question was also what Shao Wu and Jiang Wanli wanted to ask. Seeing him ask, they looked at Shi Dayong in confusion.

Li Dashan didn't think about Gao Qian'an's thoughts, but he shouted indignantly: "There are five thousand rebels in Shahe, why didn't Shandong inform us of this military information? We were urged to go to Dengzhou, but He didn’t tell us that the road to Dengzhou was blocked by the rebel army. What’s Shandong An’s mind? Damn it, isn’t that telling us to go to die? General, as I said, it doesn’t matter if we don’t go to Dengzhou. If we can't arrive within the time limit specified by him, the [-] rebels in front of us will be very difficult to deal with. What's more, Mrs. Gao supervises the Beijing camp and is in Shang County. She doesn't want to fight the rebels under her nose, but wants us Go fight, what is the reason! In my opinion, he is killing people with a knife, and wants to use the hands of the rebels to clean us up, so as to vent his anger! General, we must not be fooled, this Shahe cannot go! "

After hearing these words, all the generals faintly felt that the facts seemed to be the case, and they couldn't help but hesitated to move forward.Even Guo Yi, who was packing up the map, thought that what Li Shoubei said was reasonable. It seemed that Shahe really couldn't go.

However, Shi Dayong was so angry that he couldn't beat him. He pointed his eyebrows at Li Dashan angrily, and shouted: "Could the Liao soldiers in Dongjiang be stronger than Jiannu? We are not even afraid of Jiannu, but are we afraid of his rebellion? If you Don’t dare to fight, I will go by myself!”

Li Dashan's mouth bulged, and he was about to talk back, but seeing Shi Dayong's angry face, he was too frightened to speak again.

"When we left Beijing, Wang Gonggong once said to the general that Kong Youde's troops were only seven or eight hundred Liao soldiers, and the rest were civilians who were coerced along the way, and they had no fighting power at all. Kong Youde led the main force to attack Dengzhou. How many elites can he retain? In Shahe?"

"A gang of mobs, what's so scary! Standing high and fearing the enemy like a tiger, that's his capital camp! How can our Jinzhou army be as useless as his capital camp? I, Shi Dayong, am not his high eunuch! Shahe, let's go and decide , Chen Shi, this general will also be killed!"

After venting, Shi Dayong gave Li Dashan another hard look, and the latter took a step back involuntarily.

After scolding Li Dashan, Shi Dayong turned his head to Jiang Wanli and the others and said: "Gao Qiqian is a good planner, he said that he would accept his kindness, and he would delay entering because of the large number of rebel troops? There are rebels stationed in Shahe and they don't enter, that's exactly what he planned. At that time, a report will be made, and the general will not obey the military order and fear the enemy like a tiger. At that time, the general will have [-] mouths. If you can’t explain clearly, you can only let the court deal with it. If that’s the case, what is the purpose of me leading you south! Didn’t you just disobey orders at the beginning! Now that you’re here, it’s the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, so I will kill you as usual! "

Infected by Shi Dayong's emotions, all the generals were a little excited and had the will to fight.

Seeing his subordinates getting emotional, Shi Dayong said again: "If we continue to go east, we must pass through the Shahe River. If we want to cross the Shahe River, we can only fight the rebels to the death. I will not move forward, but I will attack Shahe alone. At that time, seven hundred will be against five thousand. In his opinion, our Jinzhou army will be wiped out immediately! Hmph, but I will not believe in this evil, Hugh It is said that there are only [-] rebels in Shahe, even [-], this general would have the guts to break into this tiger's mouth!"

The whip pointed at the Jinzhou army behind him, and raised his voice and said proudly: "I believe that with these brothers who followed Ben Jiang out of the bloody corpse pile, I will be able to wipe out his rebel army in one fell swoop!

I was going to tell Eunuch Gao, and even more so, the world that my Jinzhou Army is the most powerful army in the world!

This will let the emperor know that only our Jinzhou army is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty! "

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Today, I will use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken! Chen Youyou, a rat, in the eyes of this general, no matter how many soldiers and horses he has, he is just a chicken. Killing him is like picking something out of a bag." ! Send me the general order, the whole army will go to Shahe!"

Today I accompany my wife to worship the ancestors, and tomorrow I will complete the grave for my father-in-law. The update will be less, and I will make it up tomorrow night.
