Come to Daming with military supplies

The scout cavalry sent out reported one by one, and after confirming the fact that the gates of the city were closed and the coalition forces of Wala and Yili Ali were advancing step by step, they quickly returned to the city.Commander Shi Wanshan immediately invited the two deputy commanders, Gu He and Ning Wenfeng, to prepare for the attack.

"They dared to jump over us to attack Shicheng. They don't take us seriously at all. That's the case. Let them have a good look this time. General Furukawa, I will give you 3 troops. Once the battle of Shicheng begins , You immediately lead troops to capture Shajing City and Wenfeng, and give you 3 troops to capture Jingzhou City, and we will cut the way later." Shi Wanshan's face was full of anger.

Chapter 978 It's Cool

He didn't know where the other party was so bold that he dared to abandon himself and attack Shicheng behind him, but since he had such an opportunity, he would of course make a quick move to strive for more victories and greater victories .

Furuhe and Ning Wenfeng, whose names were called, clasped their fists in response, and then prepared to dispatch troops to attack the city with military orders.It's just that before the person walked out of the gate of the mansion, he saw a group of hundreds of Jinyi guards surrounded the place, and then Deng Qiang, the eunuch of the supervising army, appeared.

"What is this for?" Seeing that the government office was besieged and Jin Yiwei appeared, the commander-in-chief Shi Wanshan's expression changed slightly, he looked at Deng Qiang who was approaching, and asked sharply.

Gu He and Ning Wenfeng, who were getting the military order and wanted to leave the mansion, also looked at the eunuch Deng Qiang in puzzlement, and at the same time, their right hands slowly touched their waists. It can be seen that they are all ready to make a move at any time .

"Don't get me wrong." Deng Qiang didn't change his expression, as if he didn't see the reaction of the two deputy commanders, and said to Shi Wanshan, "Mr. The soldiers of the Xuan government are not allowed to go out of Sanbuja City, so please don't make it difficult for others."

After saying this, Deng Qiang waved to the Jin Yiwei on the left and right and said: "Come here, guard every passage outside the government office. Without orders, the three chief soldiers are not allowed to leave the house, or they will be killed."

After the Jinyi people in flying fish suits agreed one after another, they quickly occupied all the main roads and completely controlled the three of Shi Wanshan in the small courtyard.After everything was done, Deng Qiang waved his hand again, and several eunuchs and fathers-in-law brought the good wine and dishes that had been prepared a long time ago, and brought them to the table. Deng Qiang was the first to find a seat and sit down. . "Hey, speaking of it, it's rare to have a chance to have a good drink with the three generals. Come on, sit down."

With a look of doubt on his face, Furukawa gestured to Shi Wanshan several times with his eyes, what should he do?Although it is true that there are Jinyiwei around here, this is not an imperial city after all. In this city, there are nearly 20 Beiming troops. They are ready to be dispatched at any time. Just relying on these Jinyiwei really can't scare them.Even if Furukawa only needs to call out one school, some of the nearby personal soldiers, government soldiers, and nearby patrol soldiers will rush to help him control the overall situation.

Shi Wanshan naturally saw what Furukawa meant, but he did not agree to do so.Obviously these actions today were not Deng Qiang's own intention, but the eunuch chief Jin Ying's, which is probably the emperor's intention. If he rushed out now, it would be no different from rebellion.

In ancient times, rebellion was a serious crime, and it would be punished by all the nine clans.Never had such an idea, let alone such a preparation, how could Shi Wanshan take such a risk.He gestured to Ning Wenfeng at the side, telling him to be optimistic about Furuhe's deputy commander, and then he came to the table and sat opposite Deng Qiang, and asked in a deep voice, "Eunuch Deng, what do you mean by this?" ? Now the armies of Wala and Yili are marching towards Shicheng, a big battle is inevitable, it is time for us to take advantage of the situation, and soon Shajing and Jingzhou City will be owned by Beiming."

"Hey." Deng Qiang sighed and stayed in the city, how could he not understand this truth.An hour ago, he thought the same way. After all, the Xuanfu soldiers had made great contributions, and he, the eunuch who supervised the army, also had a lot of advantages.But who would have thought that just now, a eunuch who came from the imperial palace of the capital suddenly came to meet him, and took out a letter written by Jin Ying, which explained in detail that Xuanfu soldiers should not take advantage of the situation to give Wala and Yili Make trouble for Li, or you will be undermining the imperial court's grand plan.He also ordered that if the three of Shi Wanshan did not listen to the persuasion, they could be captured on the spot and escorted to the capital.

Under the explicit order, no matter whether Deng Qiang accepted it or not, it must be implemented.In this way, there will be such an appearance now, and there will be his current sigh.

"Mr. Shi, we are just serving the emperor's rations. Since this is an order from above, all we have to do is obey, don't you think so?" Deng Qiang didn't explain anything, and he didn't know what to explain, so he could only use Orders overwhelm people.

"What is it? Did you do nothing while waiting for a good opportunity to attack?" Furukawa, the upright and fiery deputy commander, also came over, and the voice of questioning came before he arrived.

Deng Qiang was not angry when he heard this, but just shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's an opportunity to attack, but since there are orders from above, we have to obey them. Vice President Gu, do you want to violate the orders?"

"I..." Furukawa wanted to justify something.Shi Wanshan on the side already said: "Okay, General Furukawa, restrain your temper a little bit, and don't be impatient."

"Hehe, yes, yes, even sending troops is not in a hurry. Since all the good wine and food are taken away, there is no reason not to waste them." Ning Wenfeng, another deputy chief soldier, smiled hehe, Suihe also sat down at the table, and picked up the chopsticks, as if wanting to eat a big piece.

The smart Ning Wenfeng has already seen that the order above does not allow them to send troops.Instead of insisting on carrying it hard and provoking anger, it is better to sit down and have a good chat to see if you can find out which part of the problem is wrong.

Shi Wanshan quickly understood what Ning Wenfeng meant, and suppressed his anger in his heart.Furukawa was the only one left. Seeing that standing alone was useless, he simply sat down and drank from a large bowl to relieve his depression.

Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng still raised their glasses to toast Deng Qiang in a very gracious manner. Eunuch Deng Qiang, who knew what they meant, had a wry smile on his face, "You two generals, don't ask me what's going on. To be honest, I I don’t know. But I think you should be able to guess it, so what you guessed is what it is. I only know that the reinforcements sent by the emperor, the governor Shi Heng, is currently leading troops in the Juyongguan area. forward."

What Deng Qiang said made Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng speechless.Although it was just a piece of information, it had already told them too much.

The reinforcements did not come in a hurry, but stopped. This is the attitude of the court.In other words, they don't intend to go to war with Wala and Yilibali now, but want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

It had only been a long time since the Oirat allied forces had left, when news came from the imperial court, so it can be seen that this was not a sudden event, but had been prepared long ago.In other words, the Oirat allied forces bypassed them and directly contacted the higher authorities, even the emperor, and got the desired result. Otherwise, they would not be so relieved to ignore the back road and rush straight to Shicheng .

When they thought that this was the result, the faces of the four of them were all ugly.The drink was also very unpleasant, and Deng Qiang left after a while.When he left, he also dropped a sentence, "The three generals, please stay in this mansion well. If you need anything, even if it is a woman, you can tell Brother Jin Yiwei, and they will fulfill all wishes."

This is tantamount to house arrest.

Deng Qiang left, and the Jinyi guards also disappeared from their sight.It is conceivable that once they make any changes, they may appear from the dark place immediately.The three majestic three generals who held heavy soldiers in their hands were actually put under house arrest when the war was about to start. Furukawa was the first to get angry because of this unhappiness. He threw the wine jar on the ground and opened his eyes wide. Opening his mouth wide, he roared, "What's going on? What does this mean? Is this an act of revenge?"

"Brother Gu, be careful." Shi Wanshan's expression changed after hearing this.Ning Wenfeng on the side was even more straightforward. A palm cut hit Furukawa's back of the neck, knocking him out directly.There was no way around it, Jin Yiwei was all around, if some words were spread, not only Furukawa, but they would also be guilty.

Furukawa was knocked out, as if the world had regained its calm.The rest is just whispering between Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng.

"General Soldier, why don't we just watch the war start and do nothing? He just helped us before."

"So what? Can we still disobey the orders from above? Everything you and I have been given by the emperor, the imperial court, and the emperor's order must not be violated."

"But why is this? Could it be that the higher-ups are being smart again? Don't they know that once the Oirat coalition forces win, they will immediately target us. At that time, we didn't even have an ally. If we encounter any difficulties , who will help us? Conversely, if Duke Zhongdan wins, he will not spare us lightly, and it is not impossible to even start a war with us in Beiming. What are the chances of winning?"

"Hehe." Shi Wanshan's sneer came out, "The people above? When did the people above do something right? They clearly said they would give us 10 taels of silver as a reward, but they only got 1 taels of silver." , Because of this matter, it almost caused a mutiny in the army. If they were smart, how could they do such a self-defeating thing? Count on them... huh."

When the words came to this point, the air seemed to condense, and the chief soldier and the deputy chief soldier stopped talking.They suddenly felt a very powerless feeling.If you say that you will not die if you don't die, how prosperous the original Ming Dynasty was, but because of party struggles, internal struggles, and eunuchs' monopoly, a dynasty was eventually destroyed.

It's just that at this moment, no matter how helpless or even resentful the two chief soldiers are, all they can do is complain here.Unless you want to rebel, you can only obey the orders of your superiors, and you don't even have the right to go out if you stay in this government office.

After a few days of rushing, the vanguards of Wala and Yili Bali's allied forces have arrived at the foot of Mount Saihan.When the scouts went up the mountain to explore, they found that the place was empty for a long time, and according to the scouts, the people on the mountain had been evacuated for a day or two, and it should have been a few days.

Chapter 979 Formation of the New Second Army

The news quickly spread back to the Chinese army, and Arip looked a little calmer after hearing it.The five-star army gave up the Saihan Mountain guard for no reason. This can only explain one reason, that is, they had already guessed that they would attack Shicheng.In this way, Shicheng, which has been prepared for a long time, may not be as easy to attack as imagined.

The army is about to start, and it will never stop because the opponent is prepared.The army continued to advance, relying on the absolute superiority in strength, this time, first and Arip were determined to capture Shicheng, and at worst, Yang Chendong would be thrown out of the grassland. If possible, he could be killed here. He's certainly the best thing ever.

The 30 troops came in a mighty way, and along the way, the green grass became dry, exposing yellow or black ground.After all, there are too many war horses, and the food and grass that needs to be consumed every day is an astronomical figure.

After another three days of rushing on the road, the army finally arrived at Shicheng, the so-called first city on the prairie.

Seen from a distance, Shicheng stands on the grassland like a majestic gate descended from the sky, and descends here like a divine beast that opened the sky, showing its domineering and mighty power.

"Is this Shicheng? It's really majestic?" Riding a war horse, he came to the grassland five miles away from Shicheng, looked up at the high city in the distance, and felt a sense of reality in his heart.

Prime Minister Ali Pu, who also saw Shicheng for the first time, also showed a look of admiration, and sighed sincerely, "Ming Zhongdan Gong is indeed an outstanding man. Just judging from the size of this city, it means that he has put in a lot of effort." Yes, this kind of financial resources and this kind of courage are beyond human reach."

"Hehe, it's just that it will belong to us soon, won't it?" With a sigh, Yexian's eyes revealed a look of greed.

"Yes, it will soon belong to us." Arip was also inexplicably excited.Yili's development over the past few years has not been satisfactory, and it is also thanks to the role he, the prime minister, played in it.And if Shicheng can be taken down, and a large amount of resources can be plundered from here to return to the country, it must be a big stimulus to the domestic economy, and maybe it will also develop greatly.

He also considered first that he would become the lord of Shishi City in the future. In this way, even if he was defeated in a fight with others, he would not have to be like a bereaved dog with nowhere to go. At that time, he would have the ability to attack. , the strength that can be retreated and defended, by then, it is not impossible for his strength to double or even more.

The two people in power, with expectant expressions on their faces, gave the order for the army to be stationed.In order to make the harvest more fruitful this time, they issued an order to besiege the city on all sides, that is, no one and one thing existing in Shicheng was allowed to be let go.

During the siege of the city, more than 30 mu of grain fields appeared in front of them.For this matter, Yexian and Alipu came to the scene one after another. They were very excited when they saw that so much food was about to grow.With these, the food and grass problem of their army was solved, so the two of them unanimously issued the same order, which was to order that no one should be allowed to destroy these still growing grain fields.

The city has always been besieged.Looking around from the top of the city tower, there are continuous barracks next to each other, and the densely packed figures are like endless ants.

Under Yang Chendong's intention, he deliberately opened the four gates of the inner city, allowing ordinary people to watch the enemy's situation from the towers of the outer city. Because they saw too many enemies whose legs were still shaking when they went down the tower, they were really frightened.After all, the 30 troops mentioned in the mouth and the 30 seen in the eyes are basically two concepts.

For this matter, the city lord Yu Mian raised doubts. According to his words, the people should not know too much, otherwise they will be really scared, and there may even be civil strife.In this regard, Yang Chendong just said something, "If you enjoy peace for a long time, you will forget the war. Now let them feel the atmosphere before the war, it will only make them cherish peace and life, and the hard-won happy life now .In order to ensure that this kind of life can last, everyone must contribute.”

The reason why Yang Chendong made this decision was based on his own reasons, that is, he did not intend to use too many regular troops in the battle of defending the city. If possible, he would not use a single regular army, and the reserve force was enough.

Just like facing the [-] elite cavalry who did not spend money at the beginning, Yang Chendong adopted the model of military training, and finally created the world's number one cavalry division, which strengthened and improved the strength of the five-star army cavalry.This time he is still preparing to train.

Only actual combat can produce elite soldiers. Only relying on exercises, it is better to encounter a favorable situation, but once the situation is tight, it is hard to say what kind of decision will be taken seriously.

The former Yang Chendong decided to build another army after the new first army, and the name was called the new second army.

But he just gave a general opinion on how the soldiers of the new Second Army were formed.It was not until now that the city was under siege that he gave his final opinion and decision, that is, the reserve soldiers who went up to the tower for three days without dying were eligible to become soldiers of the new Second Army.

Soldiers can only become more mature through bloody battles, life and death.Some of them may be very heroic, some are wise and brave, and some simply focus on avoiding and supplementing attack, but no matter what the result is, if they can stay in the city for three days without getting hurt, it is enough to prove that He is a capable person, so he can be called a veteran.
