Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 121 Meeting Teachers ([-])

Although he repelled the bandits' attack, Kong Youde was not happy. There were tens of thousands of bandits in the city surrounded by him, and there were waves of reinforcements outside.When he defeated thousands of bandits, he returned to the old camp only to find that the old camp was almost copied by the bandit reinforcements.This made Kong Youde feel that the gangsters could never stop.

Later, when Kong Youde heard Cheng Xikong's report and learned that there were hundreds of cavalry as reinforcements from the bandits, Kong Youde felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Now his troops have fallen into a situation where they are under the enemy's front and back, and there is an endless stream of reinforcements from the bandits. Although he is powerful in combat, he is a lone army.

When the subordinates learned of this situation, they all started clamoring. Some proposed to withdraw the troops, some said that the regiment's combat strength was not enough, they could destroy the reinforcements first and then slowly besiege the city, and some said that the weather was getting colder and the siege would take time It's been too long, since the bandits are so powerful, it's better to surrender.

Hearing the surrender, Kong Youde's heart moved.I worked desperately for more than ten years in Qianming, but the result was not as good as a servant of Wang Xiangchun.But since he took refuge in the imperial court, a family like the Wang family is not worthy of licking his feet.Prosperity, wealth, high-ranking officials, and generous salary are rolling in, and this will live up to my life!I believe that the leader of the gang also understands this truth.Murder and arson will be recruited!As for the gangsters who killed tens of thousands of people, what is that?This is a troubled time, and human life is not worth even a steamed bun.

However, although Kong Youde decided to send someone to persuade him to surrender, he still had to prepare for the war.In case the bandits do not surrender, they will have to fight again.

"Surrender needs to be done, as well as preparations for battle. First repel the reinforcements of the bandits, and then surrender." Kong Youde said.

As for the decline in morale of soldiers, that is very simple.The raids in the past few days have captured hundreds of young women, just to let these hundreds of soldiers relax and relieve their fatigue.

When the Tartars were preparing for the battle intensely, the first battalion, the second battalion and the fourth battalion joined forces.The previous failure to attack the camp caused heavy losses to Li Taiping. Of course, this loss was not only the deaths and injuries of the regiments, but most of them were fleeing.After this battle, Li Taiping brought less than [-] regiments, and lost nearly half of them.This battle not only made Li Taiping aware of the powerful fighting power of the Tartars in front of him, but also made Li Taiping feel determined that he must strengthen the discipline training of the team in the future, not to mention those stragglers with a quack style.

Li Taiping suffered heavy losses, and Chen Chen also suffered heavy losses.Although he lost 5000 people, and there are still 5000 people left, these 5000 people are the strongest fighting force in the first battalion.With the loss of these 5000 men, the combat effectiveness of the First Battalion dropped by more than half.Compared with the first battalion and the fourth battalion, Sun Zhi of the second battalion had almost no losses, and the strength of [-] made him the most powerful reinforcement among the three battalions.

Since Qiu Tianxing fled Xinyang last time, Sun Zhi received a letter from him, which made Sun Zhi realize that unity is the most important thing for the security team.The Tartars are extremely powerful, if the security group fights among themselves, destruction will be the final outcome.

So seeing that Chen Chen almost fled back alone, Sun Zhi didn't think about annihilating Chen Chen's troops.Of course, I was also shocked in my heart by the fighting power of the Tartars.Sun Zhi, the [-] advance team brought by Chen Chen, had seen it before. Although he had never fought head-to-head, he could tell from his aura that the combat power was not small.Unexpectedly, they were all destroyed in the hands of the Tartars, which made Sun Zhi's heart pounding non-stop.

But I have already arrived in Anlu, so I can only think about how to fight, instead of repeatedly entangled in the fight.

After the three battalions joined forces, the security regiment headquarters had nearly [-] reinforcements.Although the number of people was four times that of the Tartars, Chen Chen and Li Taiping, who had suffered a lot from the Tartars, did not dare to attack lightly.

When the first battalion, the second battalion and the fourth battalion joined forces, there were thunderous cheers in the city.

"The reinforcements are coming!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived!"

The group members who felt that they had escaped from death howled one after another. This feeling of escape from death was so happy and exciting.Some even knelt on the ground excitedly, and kowtowed to thank God.

When Qiu Tianxing learned that the reinforcements were coming, he hurried to the top of the city. He looked at the reinforcements facing the Tartars a few miles away, and looked at the banners, and he was very excited.

"It's here, it's all here." Qiu Tianxing muttered to himself.

"The first battalion is here, the second battalion is here, and the fourth battalion is here. The three battalions that were sent out at the beginning have all returned."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianxing turned his head and said to Zhang Chengwu, the commander of the Fifth Battalion beside him.

"The reinforcements have arrived, you organize your troops and go out at any time to fight inside and outside to wipe out this group of Tartars!"

"This?" Hearing the commander's order, Zhang Chengwu hesitated endlessly, he was too aware of the combat effectiveness of these new recruits.

Although Qiu Tianxing also knew how powerful these rookies were, but once the reinforcements arrived, their morale was boosted, and after a few days of fighting, the rookies also gained combat experience and became veterans, so they could naturally go out to fight in the field.

It's just that Qiu Tianxing is busy with affairs and is not always on the front line of the battlefield, so he doesn't know much about the situation of the troops.

Although it may spoil the interest of the head of the group and make the head unhappy.But concerning one's own destiny, some things have to be said.

Zhang Chengwu looked at Qiu Tianxing, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Regimental Commander! The soldiers in my headquarters are unbearable!"

Sure enough, Qiu Tianxing, who was excited at first, wanted to wipe out the Tartars in a single battle, but Zhang Chengwu suddenly poured cold water on him, and he was instantly annoyed.

"I have tens of thousands of soldiers, fighting for several days, can't thousands of fierce soldiers be organized?"

"It can't be organized." Zhang Chengwu said bravely.When he spoke, Zhang Liansheng, Zhou Chaozhong and others beside him also looked silent.

Zhang Liansheng was the commander-in-chief of the city defense, and Zhou Chaozhong was the battalion commander of the guard battalion. These days they also lived and boarded at the top of the city. After fighting for a few days, they also knew how great the fighting power of the Tartars and their own was.

Hearing Zhang Chengwu's explanation, Qiu Tianxing was startled and hurriedly asked.

"Is there such a big difference between the Tartars and our combat power?"

"Yes." Zhang Chengwu explained with a bitter face.

"Our army is strong in its strict formation and fighting spirit, while the Tartars are strong in their rich experience and elite weapons. However, several battalions in our city are recruits, and less than three battalions have received complete training. Most of them are recruits. Just relying on fighting for a few days is not enough. When defending the city, the three of us can be compared with one Tartar soldier. If we go out of the city, ten recruits may not be as good as one soldier of the Tartar. Frightened and confused, hundreds of Tartars may even defeat the tens of thousands of recruits at the headquarters. After all, these tens of thousands of recruits are soldiers at best, and farmers at worst. Why not!"

After hearing the truth, Qiu Tianxing finally calmed down.He thought that if there were not more than 1000 regiment members who were struggling to resist in Yingshan, I am afraid that tens of thousands of new recruits would not be able to organize!
Finally, Qiu Tianxing gave up the idea of ​​going out of the city to attack, adopted a conservative strategy, and guarded the city honestly, and the fate of the security team changed accordingly.
