Chapter 231 Musketeer
When Lin Ruhai was furious, he roared and asked his personal soldiers to push the Tang army messenger to behead him, but the messenger said something that made Lin Ruhai stop suddenly.
The messenger said: "Duke Ning Guo, if you don't want your Lin family to be cut off, you'd better calm down."
Seeing the half of the jade pendant found by the soldier from the messenger, Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment.
Because it was half a piece of jade that his son Lin Yi had been wearing since he was a child.
It was originally a piece of intact jade pendant, which he personally gave to his wife when Lin Ruhai got married.
After marriage, the two had a deep relationship and gave birth to their eldest son Lin Fan in the first year of marriage.
In the third year of marriage, he gave birth to his second son Lin Yi.
Lin Fan is gentle and loyal, and is not favored by Lin Ruhai.
On the contrary, the second son Lin Yi was considered the most like him by Lin Ruhai, so he loved him the most.
Lin Ruhai's first wife died of illness when Lin Yi was two years old. In order to miss her deceased wife, Lin Ruhai divided the jade pendant that she had been wearing with her, half of which was carried on her, and the other half was hung on her son Lin Yi.
This method is used between father and son to miss the deceased wife and mother together.
Lin Yi was only two years old when his mother passed away, but since he was a child, he heard his father telling about his mother's various things, so he missed his mother very much. He always wore this half of the jade pendant close to his body and never showed it to others easily.
But now this half of the jade pendant appeared in the hands of the messenger sent by the enemy, which made it clear what it means.
"My son is in your hands?"
Lin Ruhai suppressed his anger, his eyes were red, and he stared at the messenger word by word.
The messenger looked calm and unmoved at all. He nodded proudly and said, "Yes, Lin Yi fell into the hands of our Lord and Marquis after his last defeat. Our Lord and Marquis cherish his talents and save his life. Lin Yi is grateful for the kindness of my Lord and Marquis. After knowing that you have brought troops to invade, he takes the initiative to find my Lord and Marquis and present this jade pendant. Lin Yi has seen the power of our army and knows that you will be defeated in this battle. So I beg you to spare your life at that time. He is willing to take the initiative to submit to the generals of my Lord and Marquis."
Lin Ruhai felt relieved after knowing that his son was not dead, but then he was furious again: "My Lin family has been loyal and kind for generations and is loyal to the Qin royal family. How could he say such words of greed for life and fear of death? If you go back and tell your master, it means that the general will completely shatter his delusions with thunder in the battle of Japan."
Without writing a reply, he directly bombarded the messenger out of the Qin army camp.
...
The jade pendant is good for Lin Yi, but it was taken from him when he was captured and never returned.
This time, Tan Lun thought that it could be used to ensure the safety of the messenger, so he brought it with him, but he didn't expect it to be useful.
Of course, Tan Lun didn't know the story involved, but he was sure that it was an extremely important token, and Lin Ruhai would definitely recognize it.
After the messenger came back, he talked about the story of the war letter one by one. Shi Da smiled and said, "Lin Ruhai said he didn't believe it, but he had already believed it in his heart."
"With that jade pendant as evidence, he couldn't help but disbelief. As long as he could believe it, he would have a little distracting thoughts in his heart, and he would be more likely to accept reality when he failed tomorrow's battle. If he really wanted to leave a ray of incense for him, he would know what to choose at that time."
Shi Dakai nodded silently and said nothing.
Lin Ruhai is different from Lin Yi. He is a long-time general of Qin. He has outstanding prestige and many subordinates in Qin. He is a stumbling block for Li Xu to control Qin in the future, so he must die.
Lin Yi does not have the qualifications of his own. If he wants to gain a place in the new regime, he must rely on Li Xu, otherwise he will be a rootless water and a rootless tree.
In this decisive battle, Shi Dakai was the main battle, while Tan Lun was planning to plot against the people.
Attacking the city is the lower, attacking the heart is the higher, and when both move at the same time, the battle will be won.
...
That night, the Qin army camp outside the city was brightly lit.
Although the two sides agreed to a decisive battle tomorrow, the soldiers are a trick. Whoever takes the enemy completely will be a real fool.
The Tang army said that the decisive battle was also likely to be to numb one's side and take the opportunity to attack.
However, Tan Lun and Shi Dakai had no intention of attacking at night. After preparing what they should have, they went to bed early to rest and restore their energy.
However, although I didn't really plan to attack at night, it would be possible to create an atmosphere and create a little tension for the Qin army.
Seeing the bright lights of the Qin army camp, the Tang army simply beat the war drums on the top of the city all night, and shouted from time to time for a while.
Anyway, it's not really going to raid, so just send a small team of people to take charge.
The main force who will play tomorrow will do whatever it should be, and will not be affected at all.
On the contrary, in order to prevent the Tang army's night attack, the Qin army remained highly vigilant, which made them physically and mentally exhausted. They waited until dawn but found that it was a false alarm.
The Qin army soldiers greeted the Tang army ancestors opposite them with great enthusiasm, but they could only drag their tired bodies to make rice, waiting for the decisive battle to come.
When the Qin army finished their breakfast, they began to set out of the camp and line up.
Lin Ruhai used his three thousand direct troops from Nanshan Camp as the core to protect him, and 20,000 imperial guards were placed on the front as the central army, and 30,000 soldiers from the palace were each sent 10,000 to form a simple but practical offensive formation on the left and right wings and the rear.
The 50,000 Qin army was spread out under the city of Yan'an, with flags waving, armor and armor, sharp swords and guns, and evil spirits filled the sky, exuding a strong elite temperament.
Tan Lun and Shi Dakai on the top of the city looked at the Qin army formation and nodded in appreciation.
After the Qin army was finally arranged, amid the sound of horns, the gate of Yan'an City opened, and 6,000 Tang army musketeers in black light uniforms came out from the city gate and began to arrange the array two miles away from the front of the Qin army.
The formation of musketeers is very simple, but four simple square formations of 1,500 people were formed in front of the formation.
There are three columns in each square, and each column has five hundred people.
This is arranged according to the organization of a group.
The formation is extremely simple, and the Tang army is also extremely efficient. After a moment, the four square arrays have been arranged.
Although it is the simplest square array, it is horizontal and vertical, neat and uniform, making Lin Ruhai, who had been observing with a thousand-mile mirror on the other side, couldn't help but nod.
Although I despise the extremely simple square formation set up by Tang Jun, I was secretly impressed by the extremely high quality and efficiency shown by Tang Jun.
He could naturally see that the main combat weapons of the enemy infantry in these four phalanxes were all muskets, but he was even more confused.
Could it be that the enemy wants to use these mere 6,000 musket soldiers to deal with the 50,000 elite army of this commander?
He naturally had seen the musket, and this time he came out with the only Shenji camp in Qin State, a musket soldier of 3,000 people.
Although he was taken to the battle, he never thought of treating these three thousand musket soldiers as a trump card.
