Chapter 110 Before the war
"Your Highness, you don't know that for a whole night, there was no restlessness there, and everyone was holding a dark circle..."
Li Guodong said happily, when his intelligence personnel came back to report, he was so happy.
"Let's not care about other people's affairs, keep our own affairs in mind, and arrange for the brothers to have dinner in the morning."
Zhu Cilang pushed Li Guodong back with one sentence.
If the battlefield goes smoothly, that is not the reason why we relax.
I'm so embarrassed to say that someone has dark circles. When Zhu Cilang looked up, Li Guodong also had dark circles.
This guy was also the first time he was directing his brothers to fight. He also knew that today would definitely be a big day, so this guy tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep.
Among the three of them, Li Guodong was originally the highest-grade one, but now Ye Yun has taken the lead.
Hu Qiang guarded the four towns in Jiangbei, but he had no chance to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
The opportunity is in our hands. If you win, you will naturally be speechless. But if you lose, how can you be worthy of this opportunity?
"I'll make arrangements for this."
After being scolded by Zhu Cilang, Li Guodong also put away his smile. This was a battle of hundreds of thousands of people and could not be careless.
After finishing breakfast as fast as possible, everyone entered their own combat posts, except for the eight thousand musketeers who were on duty last night.
Li Guodong rode a tall horse and inspected everywhere.
"I'll listen to it. Don't be complacent if you win before. That can only be considered a test. How much money did the imperial court spend on you? How much gunpowder have you wasted? You know in your heart..."
"This war is aimed at regaining the capital. His Highness the Crown Prince follows us to fight. If we win today, all personnel will be promoted to the third level. His Highness the Crown Prince will personally reward the three armies. Whether he can make a fortune with his descendants depends on today."
"The ugly words are ahead. If anyone dares to take a step back, I know you, but the pistol on my waist won't know you."
While inspecting the military camp, Li Guodong encouraged the subordinates with these words.
Last night, he could see very clearly that as long as there were one or two deserters, the entire military camp would soon be able to spread, so he would never be lenient in dealing with deserters.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince told the three armies..."
"Those who retreat, kill..."
"Those who disturb the morale of the army will kill..."
"Those who do not obey orders will be killed..."
"Those who harm colleagues will be killed..."
Dozens of cavalry captains carrying small red flags were shuttled through the military camps of tens of thousands of people, one by one, bringing up the tense atmosphere of everyone.
"Don't be too nervous. As long as we do what we do in our daily training, we will be able to win..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an imperial edict. After the war is won, we will recruit troops in Shandong. At that time, everyone will have the opportunity to be promoted."
"The squad leader becomes a platoon leader, the platoon leader becomes a company commander, and the company commander becomes the battalion commander. That's just a matter of one sentence, it depends on whether you can fight bravely to the enemy."
First scare the soldiers back for a while, and then give them some hope. This is a typical slap for a sweet date.
When the soldiers heard this, everyone was already excited and wished they would go to the battlefield to make contributions now.
They are just ordinary soldiers now, and they can only give the whole family a living, but if they can be promoted, it will not be as simple as food and clothing.
Including Li Guodong, he also wanted to make achievements.
It turned out that when he saw a large number of palaces of Dukes and Marquis in the capital, Li Guodong could only sigh that he was born at the wrong time and had not been born until his early years.
Now this opportunity has come. As long as you make a contribution, are you still afraid of not having a title?
The earth began to tremble, and the Qing soldiers had already completed the rectification. They slowly pressed towards the Ming army camp, and the collision of hundreds of thousands of troops was about to begin.
"The artillery adjusts the shooting elements."
In the Ming army camp, artillery soldiers are always the first to move.
The soldiers in charge of observation kept passing the coordinates back to the military camp in flag language, and their muzzles began to lower little by little.
The Qing soldiers were still divided into two square formations.
In front are the unsatisfied soldiers of Han, and behind are the Manchu soldiers of horseback.
"Prepare to fire."
Zhu Cilang stood on a high platform built with wood, and the two thousand imperial guards around him stood within a radius of 100 meters.
When these two words were spit out from Zhu Cixuan's mouth, the eight monarchs standing on the next floor began to wave the two small red flags in their hands.
From Zhu Cixuan's position to the artillery regiment, it takes about six flag bearers to spread.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince will order the three-way drums, and the artillery will be fired to kill all those who dare to resist the sky."
The artillery officer had just finished speaking, and the first drum in the camp had already been ringing.
Li Guodong also pulled out his command knife and pointed it at the sky. Under the reflection of the sun, there was a faint chill, waiting for His Royal Highness's final order, and making achievements are right in front of him.
All the soldiers and generals were very excited because they were making history.
Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the Ming Dynasty rarely won foreign wars, let alone the nomadic peoples who conquered the grasslands.
Although it is now on the land of the Central Plains, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also taking them to change history.
After the rise of the Qing Dynasty, the policies adopted by the Ming Dynasty have always been to siege and blockade, and there was no active attack at all. Now we are taking the initiative to fight the Northern Expedition.
Become famous in one battle!
Just now!
"Battle the left and right wings and use your own lives to ensure the safety of the musket team."
General Li Yan took the lead in issuing an order, and his 10,000 cavalry under him would be divided into two parts and arranged on both sides of the camp to prevent the Qing cavalry from coming to attack.
When the Ming cavalry was moving, the Qing cavalry generals were also eye-catching people.
They also saw that the Ming cavalry was in line with neat formation and there was no panic at all. Even compared with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, it was no less than that. When did the Ming Dynasty have such cavalry?
Don’t the Guanning Iron Cavalry all have in our hands?
Zhu Cixuan also watched all this on the high platform, and handing over the cavalry to Li Yan was definitely a very correct decision.
Of course, in addition to Li Yan's excellent talent, the money spent on cavalry also made Zhu Cilang feel very painful.
From war horses to various equipment, plus training costs, each person spent 300 taels of silver on Zhu Cixuan.
What does this mean? Just forming these 10,000 cavalrymen cost Zhu Cilang three million taels of silver.
