Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

The soldiers all rested. As the battalion commander, Kong wholeheartedly not at all went to rest. He called the four company commanders and six other auxiliary battalion commanders to gather around. There was a meeting in front of the lit bonfire.

Since leaving Beidai City, Kong Quanxin’s excitement has never stopped. This is the first battle against Hanoi City, the capital of Vietnam, and it has now been handed over to his own hands. This is enough to prove that Sixth Young Master values ​​him. This is the first time a mercenary has battled against the enemy’s capital, and it will definitely be planted in history. As a commander in command of this battle, he will inevitably be remembered in the history of the development of mercenaries.

Whether the record of this time is good or not, it depends on the performance tomorrow morning. When the officers were called, they discussed together.

Although it was the battalion commander who came with him and there were seven, in fact there were still divided into high and low. Just like Kong Quanxin, the Cold Front battalion commander has the highest natural position and power. He is equivalent to a Type A battalion commander, and the auxiliary battalion is equivalent to the Type B battalion. The temporary auxiliary can only be the third line unit becoming the Type C battalion. Camp out.

So when the meeting was at first, the initiative was in Kong Quanxin’s hands. He didn’t even ask the other six battalion commanders what they meant, but set his sights first. On the left is the body of Tiance, the company commander of the three battalions.

If Cold Front’s third battalion is the main attack company, then the company commander of his company is the best main company of the third battalion. At least the destructive power and military strength of this company is much stronger than that of an auxiliary battalion, and it is more than three or four times higher than that of temporary auxiliary troops.

“A company commander, how about your main attack in the first battle tomorrow?” Without too much politeness, Kong Quanxin asked directly.

“Thanks to the battalion commander’s trust, and guarantees to complete the task in succession.” Tiance stood up with excitement and red light with excitement.

This naturally caused some dissatisfaction with the other three company commanders of the Cold Front Third Camp. But there is no way. Whoever makes the family is the commander of a company. Among the small competitions held in the previous camps, the company has always been a winning company, and it is the best in all aspects. This has also been recognized by everyone. Considering the importance of tomorrow’s battle, although there was still some jealousy in my heart, the three company commanders did not say anything at this time.

Not convinced of each other, it is good to have a certain degree of competition. But if due to this reason, an internal fight is formed, which ultimately affects the overall battle strength of the entire three camps, it is a major event. The result of the processing is also very straightforward. Whoever fights will leave. For this reason, four company-level cadres have been taken down for this reason since Cold Front was established, and they have all been reported to the Sixth Young Master. Approved.

The four company commanders who had great prospects originally wanted to make more achievements. They developed into secret agents. Later, they were investigated by political workers and reported to the Sixth Young Master. He was dismissed from his post and was thrown into the factories in Chihkan City for observation. If the performance was not good, he would be dispatched to farm, and there would be no future.

Sixth Young Master said more than once that three-legged toads are hard to find, and some of them are two-legged. Especially in Cold Front, there are more heroes and heroes, and everyone who is missing will still turn. If anyone dared to have such a mind and wants to challenge his bottom line, then he can give it a try.

After the incident of the four company commanders, the relationship between the officers and the officers really improved a lot. Normal competition still exists, and this is also encouraged by the above, but if anyone wants to win by fair means or foul, there is really no more trouble with each other. Maybe there are still such thoughts in mind, but I am absolutely afraid to do it.

Furthermore, after Tiance was named by Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin, he was very excited. Kong Quanxin was also very satisfied with the morale of the other party, nodded and said: “Well, tomorrow morning I will see your performance in a row. The other battalion companies will cooperate with you well. But the ugly talk has the front. If you do not perform well, it will not be as usual. The average level of training, the camp commander will have the power to replace you at any time. Don’t run to me to complain and report grievances at that time.”

“Yes, I promise to complete the task.” Tiance After saying this, he scratched his head sorry. Obviously, this is not the first time that this kind of thing that gives a face to a superior officer without getting the main attack task.

Kong Quanxin settled down the main attack mission so quickly, and the auxiliary battalion commanders and the temporary auxiliary battalion commanders who looked at him were envious.

But I can only envy that’s all in the heart, where the strength of Cold Front lies. With the same post-dispensed bullets, people’s target rate can reach as much as 60-70%, but the average target rate of temporary auxiliary soldiers is only 30%. This huge difference makes people unconvinced. To be convinced.

The main attack task was arranged, and then the auxiliary attack task was assigned. Regarding this, there was a military plan before the Beidai City had set off, but now it is just repeating it. Precisely because of early plans, this time the pre-war meeting was organized in an orderly manner.

Compared with the calmness of the mercenaries outside the city, the Vietnam army in Hanoi City was shocked by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

The general guarding the gate tower reported the situation of the mercenary up to the Crown Prince Le Thai Tong in the palace, and he was shocked. The first sentence was, ” How can these mercenaries be so fast? Did they fall from the world?”

No wonder Le Thai Tong has such a sigh, the distance from Beidai City to Hanoi City is quite close The 200 li road, according to the marching speed of the Vietnam Army, is generally about three days as fast as possible, and four or five days is possible if it is slow. But in less than a day, the mercenaries ran the entire course, and the strength of their feet was impressive.

The generals in the city were also called to the main hall of the palace. After learning the news, they were all surprised. Just like the last time Huang Hua led his army to attack Beidai City, he had already tried his best, but it took two and a half days for the five thousand troops to reach Beidai City. In comparison, isn’t his marching speed no different from that of a snail?

Fortunately, this topic flashed past. The first thing everyone gathered to do was to think about what to do next.

It turned out that the negotiated plan is to set up troops out of the city to prepare for battle tomorrow. But now it seems that this is a little inappropriate. Crown Prince Le Thai Tong now set his sights on General Nguyen Genh Wanh. After all, the first battle of the previous plan was completed by this person.

Before joining the Prince of Min to fight in the border of Southern Ming, Nguyen Genh Wanh did a good job. When the troops were dispatched, there were only 50,000 horses, and later it developed to hundreds of thousands. He also sent back nearly 10,000 captured Han people and various gold and silver treasures. At that time, he was in the limelight.

At that time, Nguyen Genh Wanh was also supercilious. With the emergence of mercenaries, this situation began to undergo a major reversal, so that only 15% of his hundreds of people actually returned to Hanoi City.

When the troops were dispatched, it was fifty thousand. When they returned, there were only 15,000 defeated troops. This caused many people to question Nguyen Genh Wanh’s ability. It just so happened that Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Thanh went to Beidai City to be responsible for negotiating with the Vietnam Army, and his status became even more precarious. In desperation, he had to do his best to fight for this task as the first attack, hoping to restore the previous defeat and become the pillar Stoneman of the generals again.

Le Thai Tong also gave him a chance to reform, use the position of Crown Prince to persuade everyone, not only did not take back his original power to lead 15 thousand soldiers, but also allocated 5,000 people to him , Pooled up to 20,000 for the vanguard.

Compared with 20,000 pairs of 3,000 mercenaries, seven to one, it is another home game. No one will see the possibility of failure. It’s just that the sudden appearance of mercenaries now hit them completely unprepared.

But only after the initial panic, Nguyen Genh Wanh has walked out of the train in armor, cup one fist in the other hand and said to Le Thai Tong: “His Royal Highness, Crown Prince, I will be willing Lead soldiers out of the city overnight to prepare for the battle of tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Le Thai Tong waited for this sentence, “So General Nguyen has worked so hard, and he can get a thousand iron shields later. Prepare for the battle of tomorrow. The other generals should do their own work according to the previously discussed. When the day breaks, they will go to the gate tower together with the Crown Prince.”

“Yes “The generals bowed and replied in unison. Among them, Nguyen Genh Wanh was flushed with a faint excitement.

The generals who came out of the palace just returned to the camp shortly after the Nguyen Genh Wanh’s department moved. Twenty thousand soldiers came out of the east city and began to line up two miles outside the city. Makes a huge momentum. This also attracted the attention of the mercenaries. The two company commanders in charge of guards had bayonet guns on, and the insurance was opened. If something unexpected happened, they would fire their guns.

Fortunately, Nguyen Genh Wanh is just out of the city, not at all means to attack immediately, maybe he also thought that the dawn was coming. This is an opportunity to perform well in front of Crown Prince and the civil and military officials. If you rush to the camp overnight, even if you win, how many people can see your majestic appearance?

Fortunately, Nguyen Genh Wanh did not send troops overnight, otherwise, they are not good at night fighting, and I am afraid they will lose even worse. Of course, this General Ruan has no experience yet, everything will be until dawn, and only after the results of the battle have the results, will he know what is called stroking a stone with an egg.

Next, although the distance between the front troops of the two sides is less than three miles, and the other’s barracks can be seen from a distance, it is indeed to live together in harmony. Only after the 2nd day when the sky began to light up, smoke rose in the barracks, the flame soldiers began to get busy, and a battle was about to appear on the Vietnam land.
