Lord of the House: Chapter 11 march

The snowstorm continued, Na Yan was sitting in a tent that was temporarily set up, the snow particles rustled on the tent, and the wind blew the tent to the point where it seemed to be uprooted. That face made people lift the curtain of the tent facing south and look at the dark night outside and the snow particles drifting past the curtain door.

"This dog/mother's weather, I thought it would be warmer than in the north. In this snowstorm, even birds and beasts don't come out to find food..." That picture really got into the tent, shook off the snow on the cloak, and got close to the charcoal. in front of the brazier.

There was a long iron drill on the brazier, and a large piece of dried meat was hung on the thorn.

"Has the Ranger been released?" Na Yan asked.

"It's all released, that group of soldiers from the Southern Dynasties went to Jiyin." Tuzhen tore off a piece of meat from the barbecue grill, not afraid of being hot, picked up a salt brick and smeared it on the meat twice, and then there was He ate it tastefully, "Then Yan Shenling, what do you think they are going to Jiyin County for?"

"I don't know either," Na Yan shook his head and said, "but compared with the information brought back by the Rangers from Jinan Prefecture a few days ago, the Nandu soldiers we encountered this time should be part of the Jinan Prefecture guards... …”

"Damn it, this group of soldiers from the Southern Dynasty is really hard to eat," Natu really chewed on the meat. He thought that the sentinel's repeated setbacks in Jinan Mansion were because the soldiers and sons of the sentinel were useless. Only then did he know that the defenders of the Southern Dynasty in Jinan House were a little bit stubborn, and asked Nayan, "Are we going to chase down, or continue to go south?"

"They came out in such a big wind and snow, and they won't go around Jiyin County and then go back to Jinan City. We want to prevent them from taking a detour to support Dezhou..." Na Yan said.

The Rangers never found the main force of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, nor did they find the baggage vehicles needed for long-distance interspersed. Na Yan did not realize that the fundamental intention of the Jiangdong Zuo Army was to intersperse the inner line of Yannan. What Nayan can confirm at this time is that the Southern Dynasty Army, which is now on the north bank of Jishui River and is heading for Jiyin County in the wind and snow, should be part of the Jinan House Guards, with a number of about 800 to 1,000 people. Considering the role of Dezhou as a screen for Jinan Prefecture, this Southern Dynasty army should be the reinforcements sent by Jinan Prefecture to support Dezhou City...

Nayan stretched out her hand and wanted to tear a piece of meat to eat. She raised her hand and touched the arrow wound on her shoulder, frowning in pain. Natuzhen helped him pull a piece of fat and smeared it with salt. Nayan bit the barbecue, staring at him. Burning the coals, I thought to myself: The king's tent has not yet completed the encirclement of Dezhou City. If this Southern Dynasty army is interspersed into Dezhou City, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of attacking Dezhou City.

"Then let's go after it?" asked Na Tuzhen. He always felt that Dusk's defeat in the first battle was too useless, losing nearly a hundred soldiers of the king's account, and almost wiped out the achievements of him and Nayan before this trip. , you can almost imagine that the corners of Nazig's mouth grinned at their faces.

Nayan frowned when she saw the picture, and said, "The gap in the southeast of Dezhou City is still very large. If we don't keep an eye on it, it is very likely that they will sneak into Dezhou City..."

In the battle at dusk, they suffered a loss when they had just crossed the first route of the Southern Dynasty soldiers and armored soldiers, and then caught up with the second route of the Southern Dynasty soldiers to come to the rescue. , even if the enemy has three times as many soldiers and horses as himself, it is impossible to suffer such a big loss.

Don't say that Tutu is really unconvinced, and Na Yan also feels that the loss is too unfair, but I have to say it again, the opponent can march through such a big wind and snow, and the battle in the field will not be scattered. After the war, he can continue to fight like this Marching at night, the military discipline and fighting will are not comparable to those of the Southern Dynasty soldiers encountered in the Yannan three houses before.

At least, Na Yan has given up the ambition to eat this Southern Dynasty soldier with the strength of his hand. He thought that the guards of Jinan Prefecture were all at this level, and it was almost time to consider returning.

"Then let's go after it, Cong Yangxin should be able to gather another three or four hundred people..." Na Tuzhen said. In addition to the two hundred king's tent soldiers in their hands, they only had more than one hundred sentinel cavalry gathered from the southeast of Linyi County. Natu really knew that with the more than three hundred cavalry in his hand, he could no longer eat the Southern Dynasty army, but He didn't even want to laugh at Najige and others, and he never mentioned sending someone to the big tent in the north of Dezhou to ask for help. He thought that in the name of King Nayan's tent, he could gather the sentinel cavalry operating in Yangxin Prefecture. As long as five or six hundred people are gathered and eaten by the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, the shame brought by the Battle of Twilight can be washed away.

************

After the first battle at dusk, Lin Shui led the Jiangdong Zuo Army to march in the snow at night. Instead of going directly to Jiyin County, he crossed Jishui and returned to the south bank. After midnight, he entered a fortress on the south bank of Jishui to rest.

The outpost that arrived first had already pretended to be the guards of Jinan Prefecture to control the stockade, and enforced a curfew at night. When the main force arrived at midnight, they directly sent a team of armored soldiers to surround the stockade owner’s mansion on the north side of the stockade. .

The secret march is not only to hide the enemy from the east, but also these township fortresses are also unreliable. Unless it is absolutely necessary or the whereabouts are exposed, Lin Bie will not lead the main force into the city to rest.

During the march, Lin Fu got into the cart and slept. When he got to the south bank of Jishui, he got out of the cart. He stood on the road and picked up a pile of snow and rubbed his face. Then he got on his horse and watched. The troops entered the stockade in an orderly manner.

"I didn't feel any pain when I met the group of tortoise grandsons at dusk, and even sent people to bite us behind us..." Wu Qi rode up from behind and said.

"The king's army has the pride of the king's army, how can they easily shrink their heads when they are frustrated a little?" Lin Fu brushed off the residual snow on his body and said with a smile, "You send someone to notify the sentinels of the battalions and the generals above the sentinel chief to come here. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for them to bite us and not let them go, and it’s also impossible for them to pass through without noticing it at all. It’s enough to prevent their wide-ranging infiltration and reconnaissance…”

Lin Meng took a deep foot and a shallow foot to meet him from the front, and said to Lin Fu, "Those lame horses are not seriously injured, there is no need to kill them..."

"If it's just lame, after the main force leaves, the horses will be left in the stockade as compensation for forcibly occupying the stockade, and then some scarce supplies will be exchanged," Lin Fu said, "The seriously injured horses are all slaughtered. It hurts so much. With such a strong march, I can't resist without eating meat... Go into the water, and go to the stockade to get more fish and eggs. It is better to have pork liver, and get more for those who can't see the road at night. "

Night blindness is also known as bird blindness. There is already a recipe for treating bird blindness with pig liver. Not only pig liver, fish, eggs, vegetables and animal liver can treat bird blindness, but the effect of pig liver is more obvious. Since the departure from Jiangning, animal livers have been one of the most important combat materials collected by Lin Mengde, the envoy of Lin Bing. In winter, there are few birds and beasts in the wild, but there are many sparrows. Scattering millet in the wild to catch sparrows and collecting sparrow livers as fine as beans has also become an important task for the daily marching camp. The night march would have been much harder than it is now, had it not been for the relief of the bird blindness, which had been common among ordinary soldiers in the past two months.

In addition, Lin Fu and the others set up camp from Jinan Prefecture, and they collected nearly 600 horses outside the mouth, and more than 1,000 ordinary mules and horses. In addition to pulling the carriage, it can basically achieve the level of cavalry and elite scouts riding ordinary horses when marching, and riding horses outside the mouth when fighting or going out for reconnaissance.

However, the current elite level of Jiangdong Zuojun cavalry is still far less than the Donglu cavalry who are proficient in cavalry and archery.

In the battle at dusk, aside from the fact that their equipment, such as crossbows, armour, and flying contradictory vehicles, was obviously higher than the enemy's cavalry, Ning Zechen led the fifth battalion to emerge from the flank in time, which was also a key factor in winning. The enemy cavalry rushed out of the siege, and the cavalry was also sent to pursue it. At this time, the gap between the cavalry on both sides could be seen. Not only did the pursuit achieve great gains, but it also lost more than a dozen people.

Training an elite cavalry is more time-consuming than a pawn, but also more money-consuming. In addition to the extravagant daily horse food, the high damage rate of horses when marching and fighting is also a very important reason.

In order not to hinder the speed of the northern march, Lin Fu ordered the battalions to eliminate the horses that were injured during the war or that were lame during the march. Eliminating injured horses can not only provide enough meat, but also save horse food. Lin Mengde scolds Lin Fu as a prodigal. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses purchased in large quantities from the officers and soldiers who fled south from Jinan Prefecture are very cheap. .

The labor camp had no combat missions during the war, but it was busier than anyone else when it was time to be stationed. Lin Mengde greeted Lin Fu and went to see the camping situation of the various ministries.

Wu Qi sent someone to **** Lin Mengde to the various ministries, and by the way notified the generals of the ministries to come over to hold a meeting, and he followed Lin Fu into the Wuzhai.

Lin Mengde had prepared a private house for them as a command post. Ao Canghai, Sun Wenbing, and Sun Shangwang, a scholar of Hejianfu who served in the army in Jinan, were all in the command post.

Lin Fu took off Zhu Ying's helmet and put it on the table, leaned against the edge of the table, took an oil lamp and looked at the map on the table. Sun Wenbing and the others had already located the camp of the enemy cavalry they encountered at dusk on the map. marked above.

Lin Bie pointed to the map and said to Wu Qi, "It seems that they won't let us go easily, no matter if the weather is fine or a blizzard, it's hard for us to get rid of them..."

Zhou Pu, Cao Zi'ang, Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, as well as the sentry officers and commanders of various ministries came to the meeting one after another. Lin Fu asked the guards to bring a bench and greeted everyone to sit around him, saying: "In the battle at dusk, the opponent is stronger than the Donglu cavalry we encountered before~www.mtlnovel.com~ They are the most elite kings of the Donglu. The tent soldiers; Ye Ji'er, the leader of the Eastern Guards, was only in the second year of Chongguan to recruit elites from various ministries to form this old guard army. The battle was very thrilling and exciting. Zhao Qingshan and Ning Zechen's troops made great contributions, but There are also shortcomings. We must summarize the successful experience and the shortcomings in a timely manner, and warn the whole army of the successful experience and the shortcomings in a timely manner. Let us briefly summarize here, the fourth and fifth battalions When I go back, I will have a separate meeting to convene the flag leaders and the **** leaders to make a summary, and select the soldiers who are brave and willing to use their brains to be representatives to other battalions to teach successful experience..."

Zhou Pu, Cao Zi'ang, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan and others have all worked in the town government army or township camp, but there is no such experience in the town government army and township camp, such as mobilization before the war, summing up after the war, and making lower-level officers or ordinary soldiers experience experience. conventions of communication. However, for the past two months in Lin Fu, this practice has become a habit. Even the following flag leaders and **** leaders, most of whom don't know a few words, can almost talk about marching and combat training now. To set out a few rules and regulations, this is a phenomenon that cannot be seen in the town government army and the township camp. This is also the biggest difference between Lin Fuzhi's army and other generals.

Adequate material support is the foundation for an elite division to grow up, but the martial spirit of an elite division cannot be established out of thin air or after a short training. Integrate into the military practice.

This time, going north to Yannan, even if he couldn't get the outstanding military exploits that shocked the world, as long as he succeeded in breaking through, Lin Fu was confident that the army would be reborn.
