The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The next morning at the beginning of the morning, the military meeting was held in Tieshan hall on time.

What is different from usual is that outside the main hall which is not big, the number of main officers and soldiers is obviously much more than usual.

According to the usual practice, only when Chen Jisheng is at the level of the headquarters of Dongjiang, can they take their relatives and soldiers to wait in the main hall when they attend the meeting. Other generals of lower rank can only arrange their relatives and soldiers in the front yard of the official hall.

But at this time, hundreds of people may have gathered in the front yard of the official hall and near the entrance of the main hall.

When we get to the main hall, there will be at least two or three hundred people.

Although they were not covered with iron armour and carried heavy weapons, they all looked solemn, and their hands were firmly pressed on the hilt. It was terrible to kill them.

Even if you are a person with a big heart, you can feel that today's atmosphere is very tense and unusual.

In the official hall, Mao Wenlong is the leader, Li Yuanqing is on the left, and Chen Zhongzhong is on the right.

Today, there are fewer generals than yesterday. There are only about 40 or so generals. All of them are real power officers from guerrillas and above.

Most of the Deputy officers are not qualified to attend the meeting today.

At this time, all the people have arrived, but no one has spoken. All of them are sitting quietly in their seats, waiting quietly.

Mao Wenlong took out the pocket watch that Li Yuanqing gave him and looked at it with a ferocious solemnity.

Mao Wenlong understood that as long as he made the opening remarks, it would be the largest and most critical time for Dongjiang army to stand in the line.

But the matter has come to this point, the arrow is on the string, and he can no longer tolerate his hesitation.

For a moment, he took a long breath of sullen anger and glanced at the crowd: "Yuan Qing, Chen Zhong, brothers, have you considered all the thoughts left in yesterday's military discussion?"

Li Yuanqing looks at his nose and his heart, like an old monk.

Next to him, Chen Zhong got up and said, "commander in chief, Yuanqing, brothers, I'm afraid that the Tartars are going to approach Seoul at this time! Even if we don't fight with Tartars at this time, we must keep pressure on them! Commander in chief, in my humble opinion, we must speed up our actions. "

Mao Wenlong nodded slowly, but did not rush to express his position, but looked at the people in front.

Chen Jisheng knew it was time for him to speak. He got up and said, "Chen Shuai, what do you think of Chen Shuai? How to enter the army to keep pressure

Chen Zhong said: "Deputy General Chen, a thief thinks that our army should stick to the official road nodes, take the official road as the support, advance gradually, fight steadily, and set up the camp gradually. Commander in chief, Chen Zhong is not talented. He is willing to be the vanguard of the army and enter the hinterland of Chaozhou and Xianxian first

Mao Wenlong blinked his eyelids a few times and nodded slowly, "Chen Zhong, do you have any plans for the route to the army?"

Chen Zhong had a case in his mind, and said, "commander-in-chief, I believe that our army should be an official. We should gradually promote it in a point-to-point manner, connect with each other, take into account the head and tail, and do not rush for a while, so as to ensure that the rear supplies can reach the line safely."

Mao Wenlong nodded slowly, "can."

Chen Zhong knelt down respectfully and saluted, "thank you

At this time, Zhang pan also stepped out and said: "commander in chief, my humble duty is willing to go hand in hand with Chen Shuai, as a support, open the way for the headquarters!"

Mao Wenlong's face was expressionless, and he was silent for about ten seconds. He said faintly, "yes!"

Chen liangce also quickly stepped out of the line, respectfully said: "commander in chief, I am willing to go hand in hand with Chen Shuai and Zhang pan, rely on the guard, and open the way for the headquarters!"

Mao Wenlong was still expressionless, "can!"

Chen ~ liangce busy also respectfully knelt down to salute, "thank you

As the three returned to their positions, the hall suddenly became quiet.

At this time, everyone understood that this was

Mao Wenlong glanced at the crowd, "but does anyone want to join the army?"

The hall was silent for more than a minute, and no one said a word.

Mao Wenlong looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, what arrangements do you have?"

Li Yuanqing quickly bowed his hand and said: "commander in chief, there is no arrangement for my humble position. Everything is at the commander's disposal

Mao Wenlong breathed a long murmur. "Yuanqing, although you haven't arrived at your headquarters yet, you have an elite team staying in the city. You can march together with Chen Zhong, Zhang pan and Chen liangce to make sure that our army's formation is stable."

Li Yuanqing rushed out of the line, kneeling on one knee

At this time, everyone understood that the pioneer group had come out.

Mao Wenlong said: "with the four units of Yuanqing as the vanguard, our army will have more time and spare power to transfer materials and make up for the soldiers! Pass on our military order, the whole army will rest in Tieshan for five days! Five days later, the elite main force of the army is heading for Seoul

"Yes

The hall will kneel down one after another!

…………

The military discussion soon ended. He was afraid that it had not lasted for half an hour. Mao Wenlong, on the pretext of fatigue and cold, returned to the back room to rest.

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "brothers, the war is coming. As a pioneer, Chen will take a step ahead! After finding a proper place to set up camp and the main force of the headquarters has arrived, Chen will invite his brother to drink again! "All of them bowed their hands in response. Chen Zhong laughed and took the lead in leaving the official hall.

Zhang pan and Chen liangce left in a hurry.

People's eyes instinctively looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brothers, Yuanqing takes the first step to pave the way for the brothers. When the Tartars are broken, we will drink the wine together!"

"Li Shuai must be!"

"Li Shuai, I'll lend you a good word."

"Li Shuai..."

Li Yuanqing, smiling one by one, strode out of the hall.

Soon, the original dense family soldiers, instantly scattered a lot, the entire hall outside the courtyard, all of a sudden also spacious.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's tall figure, Chen Jisheng shook his head in a complicated way and sighed in a long low voice.

…………

It has been decided that Li Yuanqing did not write too much in Tieshan city. At noon of that day, he led his own military camp and Kong Youde department to leave the city from the north gate of Tieshan and head for the direction of the official road to the north.

As early as before, Chen Zhong, Zhang pan and Chen liangce had already left the city.

Kong Youde department is an excellent comprehensive combat team under Li Yuanqing and with a very excellent sequence of Changsheng battalion. The proportion of long spear soldiers, bird spear soldiers and sword shield soldiers is about 352, which is very suitable for comprehensive operations, second only to Duan Xiliang's 1000th general team.

In addition, he arrived in advance and had a certain amount of time for preparation. Both manpower and food were at the right time.

In addition, today's weather is good, there is no snow, although the wind is not small, but the visibility is very high, the team almost did not stop, after leaving the north gate of Tieshan, all the way north.

Li Yuanqing riding on his horse, looking at the magnificent world under the cold wind ahead, his mood can not help but become clear.

Want to change, labor is inevitable!

Even if Mao Wenlong is in front of the way, for the sake of the overall situation and the general situation, Li Yuanqing can only be ruthless!

On the head of the city, Mao Wenlong, wearing a thick deer skin hat, watched Li Yuanqing's team go far away, between his eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't help being older.

One side, Chen Jisheng some powerless way: "marshal, Yuanqing, Yuanqing, they go far away, let's go back."

Mao Wenlong nodded slowly, "let's go."

Then, without looking back, he strode to the rundown steps of the city wall.

Chen Jisheng finally took a look at the flag of Changsheng camp, which almost fell under the horizon. He shook his head weakly and gave out a long breath of turbid air.

In the evening.

Li Yuanqing's team has left Tieshan city for ten miles and chose to camp under a gentle hillside.

Less than a mile ahead, there are already three campsites. They are Chen Zhong, Zhang pan and Chen liangce.

The main reason is that the wind is too strong, and we have an agreement with Chen Zhong. Otherwise, according to the strength of the children in the Changsheng camp, we can go out for at least 15 Li by this time.

After a while, Chen Zhong and his three men came to Li Yuanqing with a few relatives and soldiers.

At this time, although the cold wind is strong, Chen Zhong's spirit is good, especially Zhang pan and Chen liangce. They can obviously feel their happy mood like a bird out of a cage.

But Chen Zhong was still unable to let go. He whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, today's road, tired of walking!"

Li Yuanqing slapped Chen Zhong on the shoulder with a smile, "big brother, I always want to go out of this step. This victory, I want to give it to marshal

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's intention. He nodded his head and said no more.

The camp was soon set up and the campfire was on fire.

Li Yuanqing four people came to the big tent, while waiting for the firemen to cook, while unfolding the map, began to discuss the specific next step.

At this time, although the main force of the later Jin Dynasty had entered the hinterland for six or seven days, they still left a large number of sentries in the follow-up direction of Tieshan to monitor the movements of the Ming army at any time.

At this time, the main force of the Ming army was going out in an orderly manner. They did not dare to do anything about it. But if it was a single soldier or a small group of Ming army, they would never let it go.

At this time, the weather was freezing, the Ming army camp was not stable, and the sentry was not spread out. In this regard, it was absolutely inferior.

Looking at the map, Zhang pan frowned and said, "Yuanqing, Lao Chen, Liangzi, according to the situation at this time, we are afraid that we can't make it ten miles every day. Commander in chief has only five days to leave for rest. If we only go out of fifty miles, the next step will be very difficult! "

What do you say about Zhang liangce? Let's go slowly. The Marshal's side is certainly not fast. Even if we open the way in front of us, the commander's side will be ten miles a day at most. "

For Dongjiang headquarters, no one knows better than Chen liangce, a veteran.

In the absence of mules and horses, goods and materials can only be carried on their heads and shoulders. How can the marching speed be raised?

Li Yuanqing said: "speed is not a problem. We have plenty of time. However, these Tartars are really annoying! "Chen Zhong said, "Yuanqing, otherwise, when our camp is stable, I will send someone to rush for a wave?"

Li Yuanqing shook his head. "It's not urgent. We have just established our foothold, but these Tartars have been here for more than ten days. They have rashly passed by and wasted the lives of children. They are not worth it. "

Chen Zhong said, "Yuanqing, I'm afraid these dog scum may disturb our supply line tomorrow."

Li Yuanqing laughed: "I'm afraid they won't come! From tomorrow, the soldiers will march with the auxiliary soldiers. I live in front of the camp, brother Zhang, brother Chen, you and my brother, followed in the back. If you have a chance, you should take the head of some Tartars who don't know how to die. Don't be afraid of your mouth! "

The three men understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and nodded.

Although they don't know what means Li Yuanqing is going to use to deal with these annoying post gold sentries, they will instinctively choose trust when the prestige of Li Yuanqing and Changsheng camp is placed here.

At this time, although Tieshan area was regarded as the "native land" of Daming, the Ming army had been mainly defensive before, and rashly sent out sentry to attack, which would damage the personnel. This is also an unlucky thing.

These brothers, who followed him Li Yuanqing, wanted to eat meat, not to die of ashes.

The four men carefully determined the specific March route for tomorrow.

Li Yuanqing said: "three brothers, I'll take the lead in the Changsheng camp, and we may be able to solve some problems temporarily. But these tartar sentries are really annoying. We must find a way to drive these scum away
