Chapter 1113: The mind of the newcomer
Chen Shaowei and Ke Zhen stood not far from Huanghua Mountain, observing the defense on the mountain. The mountain was not high or steep. In places like Wanxian, there were no steep and steep mountains. The problem was that there were ten thousand troops on this mountain. Since Nian Chunfeng saw through the meaning of the Ming army, she immediately retracted back to the Wanxian county town. With Huanghua Mountain and Zijing Mountain as the corners, she built a triangular three-dimensional position that relied on each other, allowing the Ming army to provoke in every way, deliberately revealing flaws, and was not moved. She was just waiting for the main force behind her to come up before going to a decisive battle.
Lufeng's miners' battalion was heavy on infantry. In the past, Lufeng's combat was always done with the cooperation of cavalry and light infantry, and the heavy infantry would not fight alone. In such battles, there would naturally be people who were much more experienced than Lufeng to command, so Lufeng himself was still a little less interested in commanding large-scale coordinated operations. This is also the reason why he exposed his intentions too early and was seen through by Nian Chunfeng.
Nian Chunfeng flew into a fictitious shot and deceived Lufeng, and then entered the county town. Lufeng had no choice but to defeat Nian Chifeng, but there was no other way except for a strong attack. The strong attack meant great casualties. In the past Ming army combat workers, both the emperor and other senior generals tried their best to avoid this situation, because there were not many Ming soldiers at that time, and the loss of the strong attack could not be afforded. Before he made up his mind, the emperor had already arrived in Wanxian.
"Your Majesty is here, I am not very satisfied with the progress of our troops." Ke Zhen whispered to Chen Shaowei.
"Yeah!" Chen Shaowei nodded, his eyes still on Huanghua Mountain. The Qin people's arrangements were still very neat, and there was basically no obvious flaw. Even if there were ten thousand people stationed in such a small mountain, there were flaws, and it could be made up for it with the advantage of a large number of people.
"Yang Zhi is so arrogant today!" Ke Zhen said dissatisfiedly. "He is fighting all the miscellaneous soldiers. Can he compare with our previous ones?"
Chen Shaowei withdrew his gaze, "You can't say that. He only has 5,000 people. He destroyed 20,000 Chen Chu in one battle and easily captured Xintong County City. At least at this stage, he is indeed better than us."
Ke Zhen was speechless.
Chen Shaowei smiled and did not continue to say that in the Hulao army, Ke Zhen's qualifications were much lighter than that of him. He was the deputy general of the Hulao Right Camp at that time, and Ke Zhen was just a city gate leader with only more than a thousand people under his command. However, during the Hulao Incident, Ke Zhen followed the right person, guarded the east gate, and established a great success. After the work, the city gate leader rushed up, but now he was directly on par with the magnitude and commanded the third battalion alone.
And former generals of Hulao, Chen Shaowei, Su Xingyi, and Liu Zhiyong were just commanding the first battalion.
"This time, the emperor asked our Hulao Army two battalions and Huben Yulin to attack one mountain, which means to compete, and to see the combat effectiveness of our Hulao New Army." Chen Shaowei thought for a while and said, "So we must take this battle. The new battalion has made great contributions and cleared the flank threats for the army. If we can't even take down a small mountain, I'm afraid the emperor will think that we are not capable."
Ke Zhen nodded: "General Chen is right, I wonder what General Chen can do?"
"There is no other way except to fight hard." Chen Shaowei's eyes were slightly slight. "Now General Lufeng's miners' camp and General Yang Zhi's new battalion have arrived, which is enough to suppress Nian Chunfeng in the city to dare not come to help. Huanghua Mountain has been isolated. We can focus on it without distractions, but we have to pay some price."
Ke Zhen's eyes flashed, obviously he was worried. After wandering for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and said, "General Chen, I have a reluctant request."
"General Ke is so serious." Chen Shaowei glanced at him strangely. He said that Ke Zhen's trust in the Ming army is definitely better than him. After all, he was helpless and desperate to join the Ming Kingdom, and Ke Zhen has long been a member of the Ming Kingdom.
"General Ke was just a city gate leader before he went down. He was lucky enough to make some contributions to this day. If he really wanted to command wars, I was not as experienced as the general." Ke Zhen said.
Chen Shaowei looked at Ke Zhen with some strangeness. Could it be that this guy took the wrong medicine? You know, the Sixth Battalion of Hulao, Yang Zhi led the New First Battalion, He Weiping personally led the New Second Battalion, and the next Ke Zhen, Chen Shaowei, Su Xingyi, and Liu Zhiyong led the Third to Sixth Battalion. Naturally, they could not compete for the First and Second Battalions, but the Third to Sixth Battalions were all different and they had to compete for everything. Although everyone is from ordinary sources, this kind of competitive atmosphere has always existed in the army, and the people above are used to it. If they really don’t fight, they will lose their temper and look down on them.
Although Ke Zhen used to be a low position, he was the most powerful one after becoming the commander of the Third Battalion. He was a little inferior because of the past, so he needed to highlight his existence with a more fierce attitude. He was a confidant of He Weiping, the general of the Hulao New Army, and the other three had to give in to him a little. Today, Chen Shaowei was a little surprised.
"General Ke is humble!" Chen Shaowei said politely.
"No, no, General Chen, please listen to me." Ke Zhen shook his head and said, "General Chen also knows the situation of our Hulao New Army. We need to win one after another but establish our position in the Ming army, especially in front of the emperor. Before leaving, General He also analyzed some of the hills in the Ming army with me. General Chen, no matter what we are, in the eyes of outsiders, our Hulao New Army is also a hill. So at this time, we must hold each other tightly and clench our fists to have strength and make contributions, not only for us, but also for the entire Hulao New Army. Only when we have great contributions can we have more say in the future, stand in a better position, and make greater contributions."
Chen Shaowei looked at Ke Zhen in surprise, "Is this what General He means?"
"Some of them mean the general, some of them are my own guess. How can the general say something clearly?" Ke Zhen said.
Just think about it, if He Weiping made it clear, wouldn’t this mean that he would form cliques? The Ming Dynasty is not Qin State, and Qin Feng is not Ma Yue.
"That's true, it means that one prospers and one loses, and one loses together." Chen Shaowei nodded. He had really underestimated this Ke Zhen before.
"So, we not only want to win, but also win beauty, but also complete the task before the Hu Ben Yulin." Ke Zhen waved his fist, "To do this, our third and fourth battalions must be united, commanded and dispatched in a unified way, not to do our own things."
"What does General Ke mean?" Chen Shaowei said.
"The Third Battalion is willing to obey General Chen's order!" Ke Zhen smiled and said, "If you fight well, my credit will not be smaller than General Chen, and the battle will be worse. General Chen's fault is greater than mine. This is my little thought."
After hearing Ke Zhen's words, Chen Shaowei laughed and reached out to pat Ke Zhen's shoulder, "If General Ke doesn't push up this sentence, I will underestimate General Ke. OK, since General Ke looks down on me, I will be reluctant to do so."
"Okay!" Ke Zhen was also overjoyed, "If the third battalion dared not listen to the general's order, I would not let him go first. General Chen, how do you think we will fight?"
Chen Shaowei took a deep breath and said, "Huanghua Mountain occupies a lot of land, but because there are 10,000 people stationed, the flaw is no longer a flaw. If we want to take it down, we can only force them to reveal the flaws."
"How do you force me?" Ke Zhen asked.
"I want to concentrate all the long-range weapons of our two battalions to the north." Chen Shaowei said: "The slope on the north is gentle and suitable for the strong attack of the army, so their heavy troops must be arranged in this place. I want to gather all the thunder fires, strong crossbows, etc. of our two battalions to destroy them. My fourth battalion will attack at any cost."
Ke Zhen nodded. "My third battalion is also going to go. The numbers of our two battalions are here, so they won't be unaware of this."
"The loss will definitely be quite large." Chen Shaowei said: "But the enemy will suffer greater losses than us. To be honest, General Ke, the strength of the Ming Dynasty's weapons made me frightened. I really don't know how they developed long-range weapons like the Thunder Fire."
"It's us!" Ke Zhen corrected with a smile.
"As long as they can't withstand the pressure of the front, they will mobilize troops from other places. This is what I meant to force out their flaws. At that time, General Ke must fight with the most elite force. Just occupy a position and persist for a while, our people will keep up with the energy. As long as we do this, Huanghua Mountain will be broken." Chen Shaowei said.
"Okay, as General Chen said, our two battalions will discuss the details and cooperation between each other again tonight. Fortunately, everyone was familiar with it before, and running-in should not be a big problem. Moreover, it will take a certain amount of time to allocate the military weapons." Ke Zhen affirmed Chen Shaowei's plan.
"Tomorrow one day, we will take down Huanghua Mountain!" Chen Shaowei narrowed his eyes and looked at Huanghua Mountain with flags waving in the distance, and said something from his teeth, with an indescribable ruthlessness: "Let our deputy general of the Hu Lao New Army take a look. The third and fourth battalions are no worse than his first battalion!"
"That's it!" Ke Zhen laughed: "This face must be earned, otherwise can you still raise your head in the future? Let's go back first and have some good care."
Chapter completed!
