Chapter 991 Extraordinary Requirements

The city that had been besieged for several months was successfully rescued within one day. Tens of thousands of enemies outside the city had been killed.

The officers and soldiers of Liao Town who were guarding the city saw the battle on the top of the city. There were no strange plans or extremely brave officers and soldiers. The battle could be said to be simple and monotonous.

The infantry regiment first suppressed the enemy to attack, then used a large number of firearms and bombarded the enemy's original formation completely defeated, and then the cavalry encircled a large area, leaving the enemy unable to escape, and then there was an annihilation battle.

Such a boring battle, but people who have been in the military for a long time know what this means. The formation of the six platoons and spearmen has been kept strict from the beginning of the battle. The six squares can be seen on the top of the city, and the musket soldiers are even more terrifying. Except for the artillery, the firearms in Liao Town are not worth mentioning.

Everyone really distrusts the firearm. Seeing that the enemy is about to rush over, they always have to fire the firearm in their hands before they can be brave. When the gunpowder is exhausted and the barrel is hot, the enemy often has not arrived in front of them. It is not timid or cowardly to say that the soldiers holding the firearm are not. The firearmer can throw away the firearm and pull out the knife and fight the Tartars.

The firearm is just a matter of unreliable reason. After hitting it in one go, the loading is very troublesome, and it may not be possible to start. Sometimes, if you hit it, the enemy may not be injured. Soon, it will come to the front. This firearm is just an iron rod, and the loss is too great.

But look at the skills of the Tiger Power Army. Their musket soldiers faced the impact of thousands of enemies so calmly, and then put it so close before firing. The killing was so great, just like a man holding a scythe and waving in the wheat field. Every time he waved, a large piece of wheat fell down. On this battlefield, wheat was a cavalry.

Not to mention the cannon, the cannon of the Tiger Power Army was not as thick as the cannon on the top of the city, but the firing frequency could be so fast, so far, killing so many enemies. Someone was already whispering there on the top of the city, whether he was invited to bring down such a thunderbolt?

The Liao Town deputy generals Ma Lin and Li Ruzhen in the city were still sober, knowing that they were not dazed at this time, but sent people out to fight quickly.

The soldiers guarding the city were slashing like crazy outside the city, which was to vent their depression and resentment, but they were also shocked by the battle of the Tiger Force under the city, and they needed to kill to vent and relieve them.

The military soldiers I saw with my own eyes were like this, and the people in the city were even more so. The battlefield was not big, but after the fight, there were too many places that needed to be sorted and cleaned. The bodies, weapons and extremely messy battlefields had to be cleaned up. A large number of fortifications were built inside and outside the city to harvest the city, and now some of them had to be demolished, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the army to enter and exit.

But after hearing this, no one dared to believe it. Everyone thought something must have happened outside the city, such as driving everyone to attract the attention of the Tartars, and then the soldiers in the city fled from other places, or they would have to capture the Dings and Zhuangs as cannon fodder and rushed to the front to die.

The few months of guarding the city have made everyone extremely nervous. Suddenly someone told him that the city was rescued and someone was going to clean the battlefield. Who could believe it?

There were even several riots in Chenyang City, but the officers and soldiers of Liao Town were never good people. The riots were immediately severely suppressed, and the males in the city were forcibly driven out of the city.

After seeing everything outside the city and seeing what happened on the battlefield, I was incredible to believe it. Someone cried bitterly on the ground and knelt down on the ground to thank the gods and Buddhas.

When this inexplicable riot occurred in the city, Wang Tong had already gathered the generals at the office of Deputy General Ma Lin of Liao Town to convene a military discussion.

The main hall of the official office has been cleared out. Originally, there were desks and main seats on the north side of the main hall, with a row of seats on each side. As the landlord, Marin directly removed the seats on both sides of the hall when he arranged the venue.

At the meeting, Wang Tong sat upright in the main seat, and the other generals stood solemnly on both sides. Except for the generals of the Huwei Army, the rest of the people were older than Wang Tong. Everyone thought this was a matter of course. After these battles, who is qualified to sit down in front of Wang Tong?

"Everyone, today's great victory is the whole battle. I will explain your achievements in the memorial to request military merits."

Those who worked together, even those who participated in this battle, even those who watched the battle on the top of the city, knew that this victory was entirely due to the Huwei Army's family, and the cavalry that surrounded and killed were just helping.

However, Wang Tong said this, that is, under today's brilliant military achievements, the generals and soldiers of each town will be divided into profits, and there are many benefits.

Everyone showed joy on their faces, bowed together, and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Marshal."

Wang Tong nodded and said again:

"Please rest assured that the commander Wang and the commander Chen are in Liaoyang. They also know clearly what happened here. Both of them will sign and confirm the military merits!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone's face was even more joyful. Under the current system of the Eastern Expedition Army, although Wang Tong dominated everything and could confirm the rewards of military merits, he needed the confirmation of Wang Xijue and Chen Ju. With Wang Tong's words, everyone's hearts were more confident.

Wang Tong leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at the generals below, and said:

"Each army will draw a thousand elite cavalry and can go out of the city to sweep the cover. Each army will assign directions to chase and kill enemy sentry and defeated soldiers, and return to the dark."

Wang Tong's cavalry and the cavalry in Shenyang City are still very active, but the cavalry that broke through the Liaohe line all rushed to the long distance. Now it is time to rest, but no one dares to disobey the orders, and they all obeyed in unison.

"Can the seized and spoil be sorted out? Can the storage accounts in the city be brought?"

After saying the two orders, Malin winked at the personal soldiers behind him. The personal soldiers quickly handed over the account book, but Malin sent it to Wang Tong with both hands.

The generals of Liao Town looked at each other, but lowered their heads. Wang Tong was indeed arrogant and unreasonable. He had to eat all the seized items under the city, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made Wang Tong really fight? It was his ability and fortune to be able to eat so much.

"Shenyang wants to produce 5,000 civilians, and their dry food supply is supplied by the storage in Shenyang City, and the strong ones are selected from the captured animals outside the city."

Wang Tong's arrangement made the generals in the main hall a little confused. The Huwei Army had a large cart and a baggage camp, and so many civilians and animals did what they wanted. Many people immediately thought they had a reason, perhaps the ten thousand cavalry would act with the Huwei Army next.

Halfway through the arrangement, Wang Tong's personal guards hurriedly walked into the main hall, and came to Wang Tong and whispered a few words. Wang Tong pondered for a while and said:

"That is, let's arrange it now and arrange for the people in the city to make dry food for 20,000 people for six days, which will be needed tomorrow."

"Sir, obey the order!"

These orders are aimed at the generals in charge of this city. Whether it is to draw civilians or prepare such a huge amount of dry food, it requires a large amount of manpower from the people in Chenyang City, so Marin responded from the list.

After all, it was a great victory. Even if Wang Tong was majestic, the people below were much more relaxed. After receiving the order, Malin spoke:

"Master, the dry food for 20,000 people every six days is too much, and it takes a lot of time. It will take a little closer tomorrow. It is also exhausting to enter the city by a great victory. It is better to rest for two days and set off again, so you will be more comfortable and calm."

"You can't be lenient. If the people don't have enough manpower, they will use military service. If the people don't have enough food, they will send the storage in the treasury. If they can't do it during the day, they will do it at night."

Wang Tong's tone did not improve, but he did not leave any room for the people below. Malin's face changed and he still bowed to agree. Now he did not have the confidence or position to disobey.

"The organization of various military troops is still as good as it is now, and there will be no changes. Ma Sanbiao, Li Rubai, Ma Yong, Li Sanshi, you guys lead the cavalry to continue to advance north. This time, you don't seek speed, but only to be stable. From Chenyang City to Tielingwei, there are two military camps and three thousand households along the way, and you should all fall. You can take steps to remove the fortresses one by one, and you can capture and guard the other. If anything is wrong, you can withdraw to Shenyang City. Do you understand?"

This order is much wider than what was given to Marin just now. Basically, it means that the cavalry brigade goes north and fights you if you can. If you can, you can run back.

The generals were puzzled and puzzled, but they began to bow to accept the order. Wang Tong ordered again:

"Ma Lin and Li Ruzhen are preparing for military supplies, and the other is to defend Chenyang City. Chenyang City is facing eastward and Fushun is lost. There is no need to rush rescue. It is enough to ensure that Chenyang City is foolproof."

The left and right have been guarding for so long, and it is also necessary to guard for a while. This job is also easy. Li Ruzhen bowed to take the order, and Ma Lin hesitated and asked:

"Master, the situation is so good now, all troops should launch a counterattack."

Everyone understands that the situation is great and it is a good time to make military achievements. However, Wang Tong's arrangement for everyone is to stick to it and there is no action. He was embarrassed before, but now he is at the right time to make fortune and wealth, why don't everyone do it?

"If I don't recognize your brother, and you have never had a banquet when you went to Xuanfu, I will kill you now by marching the law. I will order you, where you are talking, leave!"

Wang Tong scolded coldly, and Malin's face suddenly turned red. He didn't dare to speak, so he quickly retreated back to the queue. Wang Tong kept talking kindly, suddenly sternly, and all the generals were all stern. Wang Tong looked around and said:
Chapter completed!
