Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 158

Li Jing pondered for a while and said: "I see, it seems that I am impatient."

Yuan Keli shook his head and said with a smile: "It can't be regarded as impatient, the main reason is that the officers and soldiers didn't follow our pace. The so-called rapid changes on the battlefield is for this reason."

Li Jing sighed and said: "What is done on paper is always shallow, and I never know that this matter has to be done. No matter how good the plan is, it is just talk on paper."

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "If you can understand this truth, going out this time is the biggest gain. In fact, it is also necessary to talk about military affairs on paper, but it is necessary to adapt measures to the times, local conditions, and people. Mr. Yangming has a saying It can be regarded as the highest level of military use if the heart is not moved and the actions are random."

Li Jingwen heard it repeated in a murmur: "Do you just act randomly?"

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "Yes, the meaning of this sentence is that although the goal is fixed, but to achieve this goal, we must adapt to the situation."

Li Jing chewed these eight words silently. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Sir, I understand."

Yuan Keli looked at Li Jing with a smile, nodded lightly and said, "It's best if you understand, I hope you can really understand. Here are a few books, which were given to you by someone before I left. If you have time Take a closer look, I have read it carefully in the past few days, and I have benefited a lot!"

With that said, Yuan Keli took a few books from his arms and handed them to Li Jing.

Seeing that Yuan Keli actually put the books in his arms, it was obvious that he attached great importance to these books. Li Jing took them carefully, and then looked at the cover of the next book, only to see the three words "Biography and Xilu" on the cover.

Yuan Keli lightly tapped the book in Li Jing's hand and said: "Jimin, what is recorded in this book is the essence of what Mr. Yangming has learned throughout his life, and what his disciples have recorded about what Mr. Yangming has done in his life. I hope you can put your heart into it." understand."

"Yes!" Li Jinggong said respectfully.

Yuan Keli waved his hands and said, "Tell me about the moment, what are your plans?"

Li Jingjing nodded, put the map on the table, and then pointed to the location of Zhongtiao Mountain and said: "Students think that our ultimate goal of going out this time is actually to obtain the resources in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. As long as we win here, our There will be no shortage of material supplies, and only then will there be the capital to fight for a long time. Compared with it, whether Sun Meng can obtain military power is not important. Therefore, what I mean is that we will drive the rebellious army to the south of Shanxi, and we will take down all the way along the way. Hengqu, Quwo, and Wenxi counties."

Yuan Keli stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Hehe, now that you have made up your mind, let's do it. But if you occupy so many counties in a row, your strength may not be enough."

Li Jingjing nodded and said: "I will immediately lead the army to drive Gao Yingxiang's troops to the southern Shanxi area, so that Zhou Daqing's troops don't need to stick to Lin County, and then let Sun Meng send 1000 people, and the auxiliary soldiers in the mountains can also send 2000 people. In this way, there will be 4000 more troops, and I estimate that Lingchuan can recruit more than 6000 troops, and the [-] troops should be about the same."

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "When I left at home, the pillars were already prepared. I think the assessment should be completed today. I don't think it will be tonight, but it will be tomorrow."

"Mr. Lao is bothering you." Li Jing said hurriedly.

Li Jing previously scheduled the assessment once every six months, so this assessment should not come until three months later. Obviously, Yuan Keli knew that Li Jing's military strength was a bit stretched, so he ordered the pillars to conduct the assessment in advance, and promoted the soldiers before the battle, which greatly improved their abilities The enthusiasm of soldiers to fight.

Li Jing was discussing specific actions with Yuan Keli, when suddenly a spy came in and reported that the first team of Gao Qi's forward battalion had continuously attacked Gao Yingxiang's troops for the past two days. Messed up.

"What's going on? Why did the Qianfeng Battalion suddenly attack Gao Yingxiang's troops? Whose idea?" Li Jingqi asked.

The soldier who reported the letter hurriedly said: "It seems to be the idea of ​​Tian Liangyu, the officer of the first team."

"Tian Liangyu? Why did he attack privately?" Li Jing asked puzzled.

"It seems that Master Dingguo has been assigned to the first team." The soldier hurriedly said.

Li Jing scratched his head: "Dingguo was sent to the first team? So the first team started to attack? What is the reason?"

Yuan Keli was also full of doubts, turned his head to look at Li Jing and asked, "Is this kid Dingguo a soldier who asked to go to Gaoqi, or did you let him go?"

Li Jing said casually: "I asked him to go, I want him to participate in actual combat exercises."

Yuan Keli nodded slightly and said: "That's right, you let Dingguo go to Gao Qi's army to train, how can Gao Qi not arrange it properly, and naturally let him make meritorious deeds. Naturally, to make meritorious deeds is to go to Zhang Chu's vanguard camp, to the vanguard camp Of course, I want to go to the first team, Gao Qi, Zhang Chu, and Tian Liangyu all think that you want to cultivate this kid Dingguo, and encountering a rebellious army like Gao Yingxiang is a chance to make meritorious service, so it would be strange if you didn’t fight.”

Li Jingwen was stunned when he heard this.

Even if you want to cultivate Li Dingguo, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?Send him out to fight as soon as he goes down?It doesn't matter if you fight, but it seems that you haven't ordered the attack yet, right?

Li Jing was about to discuss with Yuan Keli to hold the first team accountable for this unauthorized action when Hutou came in and reported that Gao Qi had come.

Hearing that Gao Qi was coming, Li Jing couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. Presumably, Gao Qi also knew that the first team had attacked without authorization, so he must absolve the first team of responsibility by coming to him.

Sure enough, after Gao Qi entered the door, he said, "Brother, I have something to tell you. I sent the first team out to harass Gao Yingxiang and the bandits. What do you think happened?"

Li Jing glared at Gao Qi and said, "What else can I do? If there is no result, would you dare to come and tell me about it?"

Gao Qi smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not a little achievement. I couldn't believe this achievement at first. The first team attacked Gao Yingxiang's troops a total of nine times in two days, killed more than 700 people, captured more than 500 people, and settled the country. This kid is so fucking awesome! He is indeed the son of the eldest brother!"

Gao Qi was so excited, before he could say the three fucking words, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Li Jingwen was shocked when he heard this: "How many people were killed? More than 700 people? More than 500 people were arrested? Are they related to Dingguo?"

Gao Qi smiled and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that although our weapons are superior, it is not easy for two hundred people to capture more than 500 prisoners. Tian Liangyu has brought the prisoners back. I have asked them carefully. How did they fight, Tian Liangyu said that the next few battles were planned by that kid in Dingguo, and the prisoners were also captured in the next few battles."

"Gao Qi, do you want to conceal your military achievements? How can a child who is just entering the battlefield in Dingguo plan how to fight? Isn't it the way you dote on him?" Li Jing said displeased.

Gao Qi shook his head and smiled, "Brother, are you such a foolish person? It's true that I want Dingguo to make meritorious service, but I won't replace it with other people's merits. I have asked Tian Liangyu carefully, and I have also asked the first The soldiers of the team, the next few battles were indeed planned by Dingguo."

"Let's hear it, how did he fight?" Li Jingqi asked.

Gao Qi nodded, and immediately repeated what Tian Liangyu said.

It turned out that when Tian Liangyu decided to attack Gao Yingxiang's troops, he only wanted to give Li Dingguo a few credits before returning to the army, but when he was about to return to the army, Li Dingguo told Tian Liangyu that he could not go back for the time being.

If it was another soldier who persuaded Tian Liangyu not to retreat, I am afraid Tian Liangyu would have been slapped in the face long ago, but Li Dingguo persuaded him, so he had to weigh it carefully, because this time he acted without authorization because he wanted to make meritorious service to Li Dingguo .

Tian Liangyu pondered for a while, then asked Li Dingguo why he couldn't retreat.

At that time, Li Dingguo pointed to the place where Gao Yingxiang's troops were entrenched and said: "Captain Tian, ​​look, Gao Yingxiang's troops have tens of thousands of people crowded into one village, and after being attacked several times by us, they are already panicked.

If we retreat now, the rebellious army will definitely straighten out the troops immediately, and then choose a direction to break through, and there are only two directions to break out, one is to go north, cross the mountains and enter the territory of Huguan, and the other is to go east, defeating the officers and soldiers of Lin County and entering the forest. county.

The general's intention is to trap the rebellious army here. If we don't fight these few battles, the rebel army may not run away for a while, but we have already fought, and the rebellious army will naturally run away in panic. If we let them run Oh, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the blame for ruining the commander's strategic intentions! "

After Tian Liangyu thought about it, this was indeed the reason. If Gao Yingxiang was scared away, the commander-in-chief would definitely not be able to spare him.

Tian Liangyu immediately asked Li Dingguo what to do now.

Li Dingguo was also unambiguous, and drew his own combat thinking on the ground casually.

After Tian Liangyu saw it, he immediately decided that the first team would be temporarily commanded by Li Dingguo, and they would fight according to Li Dingguo's combat thinking.

So Li Dingguo temporarily served as the team officer of the first team.

The first thing Li Dingguo did as a temporary team officer was to send someone to contact Zhou Daqing's department, so that Zhou Daqing would firmly guard the gate of Lin County and prevent the rebels from entering Lin County. At the same time, he also asked for two hundred bows and some arrows from Zhou Daqing.

Then Li Dingguo led people to detour into the north of Zhaojialing Village, and attacked Gao Yingxiang's troops at night.

It should be said that this was a completely asymmetrical battle. Li Dingguo's troops were hiding in the dark, while the camp was full of bonfires.

Gao Yingxiang's troops suffered consecutive defeats, so they were panicked, and they didn't expect the enemy to launch an attack from the north. As soon as the gunshots fired, there was chaos.Countless soldiers came out of the tents in disheveled clothes, but before they could see where the enemy was, they were shot and killed mercilessly, which made the soldiers even more flustered.

At this time, the more than 200 bows that Li Dingguo asked for from Zhou Daqing were used. The first team of the Pioneer Battalion, led by Li Dingguo, took advantage of the chaos to shoot arrows. After several rounds of arrow rain, they shot and killed dozens of rebels. Launched a charge to the chaos.

In the darkness, the rebellious army didn't know how many enemy troops came, but they just fled around without thinking, and even the rebellious army knelt down and surrendered directly.

Li Dingguo was not greedy for merit, he only attacked for less than a cup of tea, and then he blew his whistle to withdraw his troops.

When Gao Yingxiang reacted and organized troops to fight back, Li Dingguo had already led his people out of the battlefield.
