Chapter 843 Three Great Battalions
Five years in Taiping.
big pine.
Jiangbei.
"General! Brother!!... I really can't continue to fight in my little Huangshan village."
Wu Xing's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Song Gongbao: "The rewards and pensions from the court are meager...Since the recruitment, the brothers have fought every day, and now they have lost 30% to 40%... If this continues, we brothers will be wiped out! "
Song Gongbao also wept: "Oh... what can I do? The imperial decree has arrived... Our brothers will go south soon."
"Going south?" Wu Xing was startled: "Where's the north? The barbarian prince, no, is it King Jin?"
Prince Wanyanlie of the Hu people inherited Khan's position and was called the "King of Gold". He went south to attack Dasong, and the war had been going on for several years.
"The imperial court has made up its mind to negotiate peace with the King of Jin, and will give them old coins, cloth and silk, and make a marriage proposal...The King of Jin has already agreed to withdraw the troops for the time being.
Song Gongbao said.
"Forfeiting power and humiliating the country, forfeiting power and humiliating the country!" Wu Xing sneered: "It is better to negotiate peace with the barbarians, and to bow one's knees, but also to cause chaos among the common people... As expected, it was done by the court officials. I don't know whether to attack Xiao Liang, Fang La, or Di. especially?"
"Huangcheng Sizuo has found out the news that the king of Wu raised his army to attack the king of Liang!" Song Gongbao reluctantly revealed some inside information.
Wu Xing was stunned immediately.
He knew that the king of Wu has developed to the present, and there are only two strategic choices, either to fight the king of Liang, or to fight the king of gold and stone.
Jinshi City is high and deep, with many defenders, and it is also an important town in the south. Once it is attacked, it may stimulate the Dasong court to deal with it with all its strength.
Moreover, at the same time, he might be backstabbed by King Liang!
Therefore, we can only fight Liang Wang first!
And Wu Xing knew even more that since the imperial court had already spoken conclusively about such a major battle involving tens of thousands, it must have obtained real evidence.
Even if King Wu repented at this time, the mobilization of food, ordnance, and logistics would all be in vain, and the army would not be able to move for at least a year!
Therefore, the king of Wu must have attacked the king of Liang, and even the armies of the two sides may have been at war!
"When I go south, I'm going to fight the victor, fight with the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will benefit? It's a good plan!"
Wu Xing was stunned, and immediately said: "But no matter who wins, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses in the battle against the anti-king!"
"I can't help it. The imperial court is very determined this time. It has already ordered the privy envoy Gao Qiu to raise 200,000 imperial troops to supervise the formation behind us! We are just advancing along the way..."
Song Gongbao smiled wryly.
With these 200,000 forbidden troops behind them, they can only fight to the death, or die in battle!
"The court is using us as cannon fodder!"
Wu Xing's expression was pale, and he muttered to himself: "I hate to wipe out the thieves for the court before! I hate to recruit security!"
There was a 'pop' sound, and a mouthful of blood came out.
"Quickly, bring the military division down for treatment!"
Song Gongbao's expression changed drastically, and after he called the doctor to stay Wu Xing, his expression became cloudy and uncertain.
When the court envoy arrived, there was actually another sentence:
‘If General Song goes south and makes such a great contribution, he will surely be crowned Duke and Marquis when he returns! '
Duke's Reward!
Even in Dasong, except when the country was just founded, it is quite rare.
‘If you want to be the Marquis of Anle, you can’t make the court feel threatened... So, must all the troops in your hand die in the south? With the 200,000 imperial guards behind you watching, even if you jump over the wall in a hurry, you can't do it...'
Song Gongbao looked in the direction of the capital: "The imperial court is very good at planning!"
I have to admit, he was a little moved.
...
Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Liang Palace.
Liang Wang and Xiao Liang rarely showed up. He was still a child, but he looked a little older.
Beside him, accompanied by Wang Gu Xiao Zi, was looking worriedly at the officials below.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister!"
Cao Man's voice trembled slightly: "Wu Wang Di You is leading an army of 100,000 to attack, and in two days at the earliest, the soldiers will reach Sanwang Mountain!"
Sanwang Mountain is the eastern boundary of Jiangzhou Prefecture, and it is also a dangerous pass.
But no one thinks that the defender will be able to support the siege of tens of thousands of troops.
Immediately, several people looked at Aaron who was also sitting on it, full of slander.
In the early days when King Liang started the incident, even before King Wu, if he had taken the opportunity to attack from all sides and captured the prefectures and counties, he might have grown even bigger than Di You at this time!
It is because of three years of silent farming that it has reached this point!
Even if the tax on some fields has been increased, it is still a big loss compared to capturing several prefectures and expanding the army by tens of thousands! Offended the gentry even more!
Aaron kept a smile on his face, but he was actually very sensitive to this kind of good and evil thoughts.
When I found that several students from Taichong, Taichong, Taihe, and Taiyin were not so ungrateful, I couldn't help but feel that it was okay.
As for the secret complaints of a few people?
That's what he wanted to grow.
Aaron knew very well that even if he didn't use the Four Books and Five Classics to collect scholars, there were still many Confucian scholars, or famous religious thinkers who mixed into King Liang's command.
If I want to fight against the famous teacher, what I really need to do is not to kill someone or some people, but to deal with their thoughts!
This is very troublesome.
Fortunately, these people in the system will become targets, attract opponents, and then gather on Xiao Liang Wang!
"Convening you and others today is a debate!"
Aaron coughed lightly, and the room was suddenly silent.
He looked at Taichong: "How about the food in the treasury?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, after last year's bumper harvest, there are 150,000 shi of grain in the storehouse, and the armaments are also complete..."
Taichong came out and saluted meticulously.
"Tang Xun! Zhan Da...what do you think?"
Tang Xun glanced at Zhan Da, and found that the other party had a blank expression on his face, so he couldn't help but take a step forward: "My lord... We have an army of 20,000, King Wu claims to be 100,000, but the actual maximum is 50,000. Although there are some disadvantages, but Relying on a strong fortress, the general thinks... that he can fight!"
Before Liang Wangjun was only 10,000 at most.
But after the encirclement and suppression and the taking of prisoners, it became 20,000!
This is even because there were only 10,000 people at the beginning, and there was a defeat war instead of an encirclement war, otherwise there would be more prisoners and more converted soldiers.
To be honest, Tang Xun really admired Taoist Master Xu Lingzi and the ability of the "Preaching Camp" to transform captives.
Moreover, as a surrendered general, he has repeatedly gained the trust of the prime minister.
In the past few years, starting from the team, he has been promoted again and again, and now, he is already a guerrilla general of the sixth rank! Lead the two capitals of 5,000 people!
And the most trusted by the prime minister, following Zhan Da, who started the business first, is now the commander of the seventh rank! Control 2,500 people!
This can be described as kindness! Tang Xun couldn't help but feel a bit of death for a confidant.
And he also knew that Zhan Da, Hei Er and others carried out the orders first and first, but they seemed to lack management and military talents.
Zhan Da even brought 2,500 people, which gave people a sense of powerlessness!
At this time, the number one general under King Liang, who else is there?
"Not bad."
Xiao Liang was basically a puppet on such occasions, and Aaron clapped his hands and laughed: "General Tang is very courageous... Passing orders! Promote Tang Xun to two ranks, become a fifth-rank guerrilla general, and lead the five capitals to twelve thousand Five hundred people! You don’t have to defend the city, you can directly face the King of Wu on the plains... This Prime Minister personally brings the remaining 8,000 people to fight for you in the rear!"
Aaron also knows his family affairs from his own family.
There are tens of thousands of people, and there are no boundaries. He has not studied the art of war systematically, and he does not have much talent.
It may not be appropriate to catch ducks on the shelves, it is better to let professionals come.
After three years of observation, it has been generally confirmed that Tang Xun is sincerely seeking refuge.
Besides... Even if the opponent wants to rebel, his subordinates are all commanders, battalions... Most of them are Liujia soldiers, and even ordinary soldiers have more than half of their strokes mixed with sand. How can they rebel?
As for leading the eight thousand six armored soldiers to press the formation, that is the final insurance.
In case Tang Xun is defeated, then he will go up to the top.
At that time, it will be a big deal to play the trick of hitting and repairing on the battlefield... Then the Liujia Shenbing will be completely exposed in front of the world! Xu Lingzi confirmed his identity as a demon on the spot!
But no matter what, King Wu will be defeated!
...
Five years in Taiping.
March fifteenth.
Three Kings Mountain, the weather is fine and sunny.
On the plain not far away, the two armies faced each other far away, and their fierce aura shot straight into the sky.
One of them has a large number of people, about 50,000 under the banner of "Wu".
The other one is only 20,000, but it is as immovable as a mountain, and it bears the banner of "Liang".
Accompanied by the sound of war drums, each of the armies marched out in formation, and suddenly the military spirit rose to the sky, stirring up the situation!
This battle not only determines the ownership of the South, but may also affect the overall situation of the world!
Therefore, not only the Wu and Liang parties, but even the Dasong court and even the King of Jin sent detailed work.
The ascetics don't know how much they are attracted.
Three Kings Mountain, a peak.
Bai Yunzi, who bet on Di You, also arrived. Looking at King Wu's military spirit, he couldn't help but smile: "The military spirit is at its peak, and the dragon has become a dragon! King Liang is just a small carp..."
This king of Liang's aura is no secret in the world.
The Taoist sect even spread it secretly to tell the world-Liang Wang is not the master of the Ming Dynasty!
But at this moment, Bai Yunzi looked at King Liang's army again, and was startled suddenly.
This world is a material world. Since ancient times, the strong will win, and luck is not created out of thin air.
Not counting sneak attacks and other situations, and with similar equipment and training, if you face an enemy that is several times larger, the morale of the army must be scattered!
"But why is King Liang's military spirit so immobile?"
Bai Yunzi turned pale with shock, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"ah!"
He screamed, covered his eyes, blood and tears flowed from the gap between his fingers: "No... I'm afraid something will happen to King Wu!"
Liang Wang's army formation.
Looking at the soldiers under him, Tang Xun saw that although some of the recruits looked terrified, they were quickly appeased by the expressionless expressions of their colleagues around them, so he couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
Tang Xun doesn't know how the other soldiers are, but the soldiers of King Liang who have been trained in the preaching camp are famous for their boldness and fearlessness.
There have long been rumors outside that Xu Lingzi used Taoism to train soldiers.
But in Tang Xun's view... Taoism is Taoism! The art of war is the ultimate way to win!
As long as you can win, you can say anything!
With such soldiers, he dared to fight 50,000 with 10,000!
Not to mention, the prime minister's close relationship is the most important thing. The former army, the central army, and the left and right armies are all under his command, and he brings 8,000 people to his rear.
"It is also a great joy in life to be born in troubled times and compete with the heroes of the world!"
Tang Xun took a deep breath and threw out a command arrow: "Beat the drum!"
Boom! Boom!
The drums beat like thunder!
At the level of tens of thousands of troops lined up, it is difficult to use any tricks and tricks, only to be upright and upright, to compete with the quality of soldiers and the changes in the army formation!
...
King Wu is in the formation.
Wen Zhengming was still dressed in a green shirt, looking very elegant, pointing Jiangshan: "Your Majesty... Liang Jun is famous for being brave and fearless in battle, and there is also a kind of fire and thunder, which is called the 'Taishang Leifa'! It can scare people! The recruits are still afraid of it!"
Di You was wearing an armor strung together with thousands of scales of steel, and he just smiled when he heard this: "It's just for Mr. to see the demeanor of the three major battalions of our army!"
"oh?"
Wen Zhengming's eyes lit up: "But the three battalions of dare to die, Xiandeng, and Huben?"
Di You is good at running the army, and has many powerful generals under his command, the most famous of which are the three battalions, which can be described as the essence of the essence.
Among them, the Huben Battalion is a pro-guard army with the most sophisticated equipment, close to the guards, like a copper wall and an iron wall.
The first to ascend the camp to attack the city and raid the formation is the most joyous in killing the enemy.
As for the last "death battalion", it is composed of criminals and soldiers who have committed crimes. Only by fighting and making military achievements can they be exonerated. They are all brave and fearless, but at the same time, their military discipline is also the worst!
"Today, the vanguard of our army is the Death Battalion!"
Di You said: "The criminal soldiers of this generation have all deafened their ears and only know how to act according to the command flag. Even if the outside world collapses, it is impossible for them to be shaken in the slightest!"
Wen Zhengming suddenly shivered.
Originally, his strategy was just plugging his ears or something, but he didn't expect King Wu to be so vicious!
But after thinking about it, most of the death camps were sinners, and many of them would have died long ago. It was the grace of King Wu to be able to live until now, so they turned a blind eye.
Compassion does not command soldiers! He still understands this truth!
"The enemy has moved."
At this time, Di You also saw Tang Xun's order, and couldn't help sneering: "To be able to face my 50,000 army and still not mess up the position, the enemy general has some skills...Order! Death battalion attack!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Fifty thousand Wu soldiers shouted so loudly that they could almost soar into the sky and tear the clouds apart.
Amidst these shouts of killing, the death camp, which had been silent all along, seemed very abrupt and terrifying.
It wasn't until a crimson military flag was waved across the formation that the entire Death Battalion began to move.
The criminal soldiers with restless expressions, armed with weapons, advanced slowly, and the target was the vanguard on the opposite side!
On Tang Xun's side, the former commander of the army is Zhang Tie, the commander of the capital!
At this time, leading a capital of 2,500 people, they were intertwined with the Death Battalion on the opposite side.
"Taishang Shenlei!"
The Liujia Divine Soldier in the front was expressionless and threw the gunpowder bag in his hand.
Boom!
Several soldiers in the death camp at the front were killed, and broken limbs and wreckage flew everywhere.
But the death camp was indeed not in chaos!
Immediately, the two teams got deeper into each other and started killing each other!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Wen Zhengming, who was nervously watching the military formation, let out a long breath and congratulated Di You.
"Oh? Why are you so happy?"
The corners of Di You's mouth curled up slightly, obviously in a good mood.
"The first wave of this Taishangshenlei is relatively scary, and its lethality is not too high. Now it has survived... Even if it explodes again later, the central army and the rear army will get used to it, so they can stand still. The enemy Tricks can't work, we've run out of skills... As long as our army is upright and upright, if we compete in military strength, we will surely win!"
Wen Zhengming's face seemed to be radiant, and he looked like a celebrity!
