Chapter 1116 Fine-tuning for battle
Chapter 1116: Fine adjustments before the battle
When Wang Tong heard the shopkeeper's report, he was stunned, then nodded and said that he wanted to meet a Jurchen figure who had come over.
The army camp was built, and no one was involved in killing them when they were approaching, let alone the strong man from the Haixi Jurchen side. If it weren't for the introduction of the shopkeeper, these people would have been shot and killed a few miles away.
They were very nervous before they were led into the commander's tent. This time they were going to meet Wang Tong. What kind of person is Wang Tong? He led a large army to wash Jianzhou into a clean killing god. It was okay for Haixi to be close to the Han area. There are legends in the tribes of Beishan Jurchen and Laolinli that Wang Tong was a hundred feet tall and had a tiger-headed and human body.
"This is my handsome man!"
Someone introduced that the three Jurchen men who came in didn't even have time to watch it, so they hurriedly continued on the big week. The Jurchens didn't understand any etiquette and just kowtowed there.
"No need to be so polite. I asked you, are you terrible to die if you want to follow the army to avenge your revenge?"
Wang Tong asked gently. A man in his forties looked up and saw that Wang Tong was not fierce, but a strong martial artist. He was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly:
"The family and relatives of the big guy were killed by those wild beasts. If everyone does not avenge this, they will have no face to see the gods in the sky and underground. They will also find a break and fight with those wild beasts, and they will not be afraid of death."
The Chinese language is very stiff. This man has been secretly looking at Wang Tong, trying to see how this not surprising Han man has such great ability. He is about thirty years old, stronger and taller than usual Han man, with a calm face, and a little wrong. At first, he seemed to be around thirty years old, but his temperament and style looked like a person in his fifties, and he had a sense of maturity and vicissitudes that were not commensurate with his age.
"I'm not afraid of death, but good guys. Since you are not afraid of death, just go by yourself. Why do you need to ask me to beg me?"
Wang Tong asked with a smile, saying that when it comes to this, the following Jurchen representatives hesitate a little. In this situation, you can't say that they are a little afraid of the Japanese pirates' firearms. Moreover, the Japanese pirates have a large number of troops. North Korea has a special fear of the Jurchen forces. The Jurchens really want to gather people to go south to Korea. Although North Korea is now invaded by Japanese pirates, it is possible to join forces to fight together at that time.
The person who was the leader was really good at speaking. After a pause, he spoke:
"Master, our Haixi side is Master's territory. We must listen to Master and dare not move around. Master will lead us and we dare to go over and take revenge."
The Jianzhou and Haixi places outside the wall are now the Han people's Datunken Village and the commercial industries are intertwined with the Jurchen villages. The Han people's villages and the Sanjiang system accounts for a lot of share. When everyone went there, they were thinking about the idea of seizing slave labor.
However, this Jurchen is also a local farming ethnic group. His living habits are similar to those of the Han people. His combat power and cohesion are not weak. Although he is defeated now, if he is arrested and abducted, there will be many troubles and casualties. Everyone has changed their strategies and usually carried out slowly in the form of employment and bribery.
Of course, at critical moments, the guards of each family had to kill and set fire. However, as this slowdown was considered a combination of kindness and power, the Jurchens became more and more devoted. Villages took the initiative to form alliances with merchant groups and farms, and went into the mountains to capture the savage tribes as slaves.
The place outside the wall is naturally the most powerful force, the words that the merchant group is the most powerful, the Sanjiang merchant group is naturally the largest, the guards in their hands are the most money, and the rules are the most reasonable. Wang Tong's mighty killing all directions. Over the past few years, all the Jurchen tribes on the wall feel that they are under Wang Tong's control and their family is on Wang Tong's territory.
This man said this, Wang Tong sat there and laughed loudly, laughing, and asked after a change of topic:
"How many people can you fight?"
"There are many people in various departments! After all, there are more than 5,000 people!"
Hearing this number, Wang Tong was stunned and asked again:
“How many horse riders can there be?”
"There are more than 1,500 riders."
"Please choose the strongest past with three thousand, and you go back and gather troops first. Just beside Bailang'ao. Four days later, someone will come to meet you."
Wang Tong slowly patted the table and finally made a decision. The following people understood, but they were a little stunned. One of them looked up carefully and said:
"Master General, won't our troops act with the army?"
"Guo Bole, what are you doing? The Grand Marshal has arranged this way here. He still kowtowed and thanked him if he doesn't kowtow!"
The shopkeeper was always listening to this, and couldn't help but whisper from the side when he heard this, "I really don't know the rules for this guy from the old forest. The Duke of Liao said so much to you, and made arrangements for you on the spot. How big is this? I'm still asking questions here. I'm really crazy."
The following people suddenly realized and kowtowed and thanked him. Since they agreed, they had to hurry back and prepare. They also wondered how Wang Tong knew about Bailang'ao, which was a place where Hamkyung Road and the Haixi Jurchen area intersected. It was considered the terrain of the canyon and was very suitable for gathering troops. In the past, various ministries were often there.
"The Jurchens are still wild and untamed, and they are very powerful... The naturalized merchant group should use these people as guards in Hetao and the west..."
Wang Tong said something stupidly, how many people understood, Yang Sichen took notes there, but Ma Sanbiao was a little confused. Wang Tong didn't want to explain, but just asked:
"Our cavalry team is all 2,000 cavalry, so how much do you think the Datong cavalry can be used?"
"General Ma knows the importance of the matter. This time, the Ma family's old friends have sent a lot. There are almost two thousand people in the three thousand cavalry."
As the main cavalry general, Ma Sanbiao was not vague about this at all. He understood it very well. Wang Tong nodded and said:
"Our cavalry will choose one thousand cavalry, and the Datong cavalry will choose one thousand cavalry, and you will be in charge. The remaining cavalry will be handed over to the Magui and Eunuch Cai from Datong. Then we will arrange for the seal to send the documents to the Jurchens. We will say that the army will recruit volunteer cavalry and let them bring their own food, clothing and armor to Bailangao within four days. If the expiration is over, Mr. Yang will invite Li Hutou to come!"
As he spoke, it turned into a command to convey the general. Although everyone felt suddenly, they still hurriedly did it. Soon, Li Hutou had already arrived in the military tent. The young general back then was now a tall and strong young man, with a thriving figure, which made people admire him. After the ceremony, Wang Tong also smiled and asked him to come over and speak.
The map of North Korea has been spread out on such a large book case. Small countries also have the benefits of small countries. The Ming Dynasty did not have a complete map, but the maritime merchants have already figured out the rough terrain of North Korea and had already had a rough terrain map.
"After the entire army crosses the river, you will immediately lead the army south and station it with Pyongyang City as a camp. This time, the cart will bring enough food and grass along the way. When you arrive in Pyongyang, there will be ships transporting grain from the sea to you..."
Wang Tong pointed his fingers from Yizhou to Pyongyang, and Li Hu's head looked carefully there. This was just a normal march, nothing surprising.
"After you stationed in Pyongyang, you immediately divided your troops to Hamkyung Road in the east. Didn't you see that it was here. My request for you is to deploy defenses on this line within ten days, defend the main traffic route, and completely isolate North Korea on land. What are you going to do?"
When Wang Tong said this, his fingers took Pyongyang as the endpoint and stroked to the right. Li Hu's head pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"As long as the food and grass can keep up, this is not difficult. Arrange three regiments to Hamkyung, and lead four regiments in Pyongyang, plus the rest of the troops, it's enough."
The young man who had to ask about everything back then is now a confident general. Wang Tong praised him and said with a smile:
"Who are you going to arrange to go there?"
"Tan Bing is steady and Li Tao is good at fighting. These two are old partners, so it is appropriate to send them there. The subordinates are also planning to arrange Yang Jin's Jizhen infantry to fill it. This will make you even more sure!"
Wang Tong nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Since that's the case, I'll give you a military order immediately and set off as soon as possible."
Li Hutou hesitated for a moment, looked at the people in the military tent, and Wang Tong waved his hand and said:
"It's all my family, there's nothing to say."
"Master, my subordinates are taking the liberty. I think that with our army's power, why do we have to go so much trouble? We just need to go south and kill the enemy when we encounter the enemy. North Korea is narrow, and our army goes all the way. The Japanese pirates' soldiers are invincible. They can only fight with us. The army is fighting, and the tiger-powered army is invincible in the world."
"You are right. Let's force it over. When the Japanese pirates have no way to retreat, they will naturally have to fight us. But is there really no way to retreat?"
Wang Tong said with a smile, while drawing a big circle on the North Korean map with his hands, Li Hutou immediately understood. Wang Tong nodded and said:
"When they really have no way out, it will be the time for a decisive battle. As for now, we will first destroy the Kato in Hamkyung to avoid being distracted."
After saying that, Wang Tong reached out and patted Li Hu's shoulder, and said:
"I will lead the cavalry to fight along Hamkyung Road. This brigade will be given to you to lead. Remember what I said, the key this time is not to occupy a lot of territory and kill many enemies. The key is to block the interception. Now it is moving south too quickly, but it will force the Japanese pirates to be anxious and there will be no great results. Do you understand?"
Li Hu took a step back and said with a solemn folded his fists:
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will do it."
Wang Tong tried hard on his hand and said with a smile:
"I feel very relieved about you, and you will definitely do it."
After saying this, everyone in the handsome tent laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed for a moment. Li Hutou turned back to look at the map, but Wang Tong looked to the west and whispered:
Chapter completed!
