Daming wolf ride

Updated: 2012-11-06

After the army left the city, Zhang Chun ordered Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, to lead the cavalry of his headquarters on the left, and Song Wei, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to the right. Linked into a battalion, slowly moving forward like a giant hedgehog.

In this battle, the soldiers and horses under his command were Daming's last force to rescue Daling River, if he lost again, the siege of Daling River would no longer be unsolvable.Therefore, Zhang Chun was very careful, not daring to advance aggressively, let alone to fight in waves. He strictly ordered the three armies to follow the flag orders, and the army must stop every mile in order to avoid the gap between the battalions and the Jin army.

After walking slowly like this for a whole morning, the army arrived at a place less than three miles away from Jiming Station. This place is eleven miles away from Jinzhou, eight miles away from Xiaoling River, and seventeen miles away from Daling River.

After seeing the tents and flags of the Jin Army from a distance, Zhang Jifu, the deputy general of the Chinese Army, was eager to fight. He had fought against Jiannu with a red flag more than ten days ago, and the result was a tie. horrible.Today the army came prepared, and the vanguard officer could not be robbed by others no matter what.If he can blaze a trail for the army this time, it will be a certainty that the lieutenant general will become a regular after the battle.Thinking of this, the enthusiasm continued, and he immediately called Zhang Chun to ask: "My lord, the former is Jiannu with a red flag, and the final general is willing to lead the headquarters as the vanguard of the army, and defeat Jiannu!" [

Zhang Chun stood on the chariot holding Qianlirui and looked at the Jin army's defense line motionlessly. Zhang Jifu even asked a few times, but he didn't answer.It wasn't until lieutenants Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu and others came to ask for instructions on what to do next that he put down the binoculars, glanced at Zhang Jifu, and said in a deep voice, "There is no forward in this battle."

"No striker?"

Zhang Jifu was taken aback: How could the army continue to move forward without a forward to open the way?

Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng and the others were also very puzzled, if they didn't send an army to open the way for the army, how would they fight this battle?

Zhang Chun ignored the doubts of the generals, but directly ordered: "My army is the vanguard, and the vanguard is my army. Pass down the order, the three armies form an formation, just press up like this!"

"Just push it up like this?"

The generals were shocked again, tens of thousands of people rushed up like this?If something goes wrong, this army will be wiped out!

After all, Mr. Zhang is a scholar. Although he knows soldiers, he has led an army for a short time. This is the first time he has led so many troops as a commander. ?No matter what, you have to test the enemy's reality and find out the weak points. If you don't test it, the whole army will press it. It's like gambling with the lives of [-] soldiers!

Zhang Hongmo shook his head secretly, and out of duty, he stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, do you want to leave some troops to suppress the formation? If the offensive does not go smoothly, there is room for it?" This is nonsense.

Among the generals, Zhang Hongmo had the closest relationship with Zhang Chun, and he had taken orders under Zhang Chun's tent when he was in the pass, everyone thought that even he would not agree to the whole army's suppression, and Master Zhang would reconsider.

"No need!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chun didn't listen to the advice at all, but was determined to press the whole army, looked around at the generals, and said firmly: "You don't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, this battle is to fight for the whole army. Press it up, without leaving a single soldier, I will smash his slave defense line with all my might!"

Seeing that Zhang Chun's attitude was so firm, Zhang Hongmo and Zhang Jifu didn't dare to persuade them anymore. After all, Zhang Chun was the commander of the army, not them, but no one made a move.

Seeing this, Zhang Chun couldn't help but his face darkened, and he wanted to urge the generals to prepare quickly and not to delay in the central army.

At this time, Man Ku, the deputy general of Che Ying who had just arrived, stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Military Equipment, you must be careful, it is unusual for a large army to fight, if you are careless, there is no room for a comeback. "

"Yeah, it's too risky for the whole army to press on, please think again, my lord!"

Manku bit his head and took the lead, Wang Zhiku, Xue Dahu and other generals who had just arrived hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them. Like the previous generals, they were not willing to use the strategy of putting the whole army on top of the battle, because it was really difficult. It's too risky.

The more people there are, the more courageous they are. With so many people persuading them, Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng and the others took advantage of the situation to persuade them again.

Seeing that all the generals disagreed with the whole army, Zhang Chun sighed, and instead of blaming them, he asked back: "I know what you are worried about, but I ask you, how is our army compared with Jiannu?" Who has the upper hand in military strength?" [

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Jifu blurted back: "My army is [-], and Jiannu alone has [-] to [-] in the Eight Banners. Not to mention the Mongolian soldiers and horses, combined, I am afraid it will be more than [-]. This force is naturally mine. The army was at a disadvantage, and he Jiannu had the upper hand."

Zhang Chun nodded, "Yes", and continued to ask: "Then I will ask you again, compared with the strength of our army and Jiannu Yiqi, who is inferior and who is superior?"

"Jiannu has eight banners. A single banner has more than a dozen cattle records and less than a dozen cattle records. Only the general knows that there should be thousands of soldiers and horses in one banner of Jiannu, but our army has [-]. Compared , naturally my army is superior." This time it was the deputy general Wang Zhiku who answered, and after finishing speaking, he looked at his colleagues around him.

After listening to Wang Zhiku's answer, Zhang Chun's face softened a little, and he said happily: "That's it. Since my army is not as powerful as his Jiannu, but it is several times stronger than his Jiannu Banner, and Jianu It is impossible for the slaves to deploy all their troops to resist our army. They always have to divide their troops to surround Dalinghe City. This official judges that Jiannu can use no more than [-] troops to resist my army. In this way, you Say, how much pressure will the whole army of our army put on the Jiannu in front of us?"

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the Jin army in front, and said confidently: "Look, Jiannu is still the same as last time, defending according to the size of Linghe, divided into several lines of defense, not as concentrated as my army, as long as To our surprise, the whole army pressed forward and broke his first line of defense. The Jiannu behind him were naturally frightened, but our army's morale was greatly boosted. With all our efforts, we will be able to break through Jiannu's several lines of defense in one fell swoop and reach Daling Join the soldiers and civilians in the city at the foot of the river city, and at that time, with the support of the ancestors in the city, the siege of Dalinghe city will be easily solved!"

After hearing this, all the generals felt that it made sense, and they all agreed with Zhang Chun's strategy of suppressing the whole army.At present, Zhang Hongmo and others returned to the main formation one after another, preparing for the deployment of the whole army.

Zhang Chun also sent his own soldiers to order Song Wei and Wu Xiang to order their cavalry to cooperate with the Chinese army in the charge.

After Song Wei and Wu Xiang received the order, they were puzzled by Zhang Chun's order to put the whole army on the ground, but seeing that the Chinese army's formation was already busy and was about to start attacking, the two didn't think much about it, and led With their few remaining cavalry to prepare for the battle.

After his subordinates went to prepare, Zhang Chun continued to pick up the binoculars to observe the movement of the Jin army on the opposite side, and checked that other soldiers and horses of the Jin army had joined. After watching for a while, he found that no Jin army came to reinforce them, and only a red flag was attached to the sword. Waiting, he was more confident, so he wanted to send an order to prepare for the attack.

After the formation, another messenger came on horseback and reported: "Report to the supervising army, a group of grain and grass soldiers came from the rear, saying that they were ordered by Liaodong Governor Qiu Hejia to deliver grain to Dalinghe City."

"Send food to Daling River?"

Zhang Chun was stunned, then nodded and praised: "Master Qiu is very thoughtful. He knows that the army and people in the city have been short of food for a long time. While looking forward to my army, they are also looking forward to this food." He raised his head and asked the messenger: "The escort Who is the general?"

The soldier said: "General Shi Dayong."

"Shi Dayong?"

Zhang Chun was startled, and lost his voice: "Isn't he seriously injured and unconscious? Why, woke up?" He looked at the soldier, wanting to know something from him, but the soldier didn't know who Shi Dayong was, and was at a loss shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhuang sighed with emotion, and stopped worrying about this soldier, and told him: "Go and tell General Shi Shen, and just say that the officer wants him to follow behind, just keep a distance of three miles, and don't get too close. Army."

"Yes!"

After the soldier took the order, he gave a military salute, rode his horse and galloped away.

.........

"Master Bing Bei asked us to keep a distance of three miles from the army, and not to get too close to the army, why?"

Cao Bianjiao didn't quite understand the orders of Lord Bingbei. Three miles is not close, nor is it long, but the battlefield is changing rapidly. That's not worth it.

Jiang Wanli, who had been observing the movement of the army ahead, looked back and said, "Looking at the posture ahead, it seems that the army is about to make a move?" [

"Maybe it's Mr. Zhang's good intentions. He is afraid that if the army fights, we will follow behind without knowing the situation, and there will be chaos."

Ma Zhong carefully covered his face, his injury was not healed yet, originally Shi Dayong wanted him to stay in Jinzhou, but he insisted on coming.Shi Dayong persuaded him, but he said that the injury on your face is no better than mine, you can go, why can't I.No way, Shi Dayong had no choice but to let him.

Shi Dayong moved his eyes back from the front, looked at Huang An, and told him: "Go and tell Li Dashan, if the army fights later, if it goes well, he will urge the civilians to go forward with us, if the situation is not right , Immediately drive the peasants back to Jinzhou."

Huang An was puzzled and said: "General, let the peasants go back to Jinzhou, how can this food be transported into the city?"

Shi Dayong shook his head and said: "If the army is not victorious, even if thousands of peasants come again, the food will still not be transported into the city. It is better to let the peasants go back, so as not to die outside the city in vain. Besides, the peasants have not experienced war , When the cannon fires, they will be in chaos first, rather than letting them mess up our position, it is better to let them go back."

Thinking of the reactions of the supply camp under Dalinghe City and the young and strong peasants, Huang An understood, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell Li Dashan right now."

After Huang An left, Shi Dayong suddenly turned around and said to Cao Bianjiao and Jiang Wanli, "If there is a fight ahead, let's go up immediately."
