chapter one hundred and sixteen.
War has long been no longer a gentleman's battle in the Spring and Autumn Period. The two families made a appointment with a place and had a day of fighting. The one who won was the grandfather and the one who lost was the grandson. Nowadays, the war is more about everything. As long as you win, you will use any means, it will be more protracted and more difficult.
This was the day that followed. On August 16th, Mao Jue led his army to Jinzhou and immediately settled in Dongying outside Jinzhou City. All he could do every day was looking north.
There is no way, Jinzhou itself has tight troops. That day, after seeing the Later Jin army surrounded Dalinghe City, especially the twenty-four red barbarian cannons of five or six thousand pounds, Mao Jue had no desire to attack. He was self-aware, unlike Wu Xiang and Song Wei, who went to find excitement every day.
It's really exciting. On August 16, August 25, and September 12, Wu Xiang, the general general of the regiment training, launched three attacks, one more than the other, and the third time, Mao Jue was too lazy to watch the battle. Six thousand men made more than 200 soldiers of Zhenglan Banner fight back. He fled twenty miles in a panic, killed 86 people and injured more than 200.
The most important military motto in Cao Fei's argument is to make a concerted effort, two decline, and three exhausted! After losing in a row, the soldiers obviously no longer have the expectation of victory. When fighting, it is more like a dealing attitude, and the morale has left Wu Xiang dead. How can we fight the next war?
However, even though the Liaodong Army was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen, the surprisingly Dongjiang Army envied them very much.
"Prepare, move forward! One, two, one!"
When he sharpened his guns in the face of battle, he would be too lazy. Mao Jue was a stingy person who was as stingy as Grandet. It was impossible to let thousands of troops eat his food and get military pay here!
I was idle, and the remaining 800 personal soldiers, the devil's March recruit training will continue. The personal soldiers of the three households of Tieshan were also forced into the team by Mao Jue, and they followed me to practice!
Not convinced? It's easy to deal with. Not only is it confined to confinement, but also deduct military pay. You must know that this time Mao Jue promised a reward. This month, he will give you a wartime allowance of three taels, plus one tael a month's military pay is four taels, which is equivalent to a daily income of one tael. There are not many ways to make money by joining the army. You dare to deduct your money? I will deduct your money. Who will feel uncomfortable?
Even the chief officers of each army did not dare to take care of it. On the one hand, offended Mao Jue, and on the other hand, if he did not allow training, he would have to make up for the money. Moreover, although Mao Jue's training camp strengthened his influence on his personal soldiers, then again, it also strengthened the combat effectiveness of his personal soldiers. Who would be thankless?
However, Mao Jue's move also forced these generals to cry without tears. The personal soldiers and the chief generals suffered losses and prospered together. Mao Jue was so troubled by their subordinates, but they could not refuse. It was a big mistake for the personal soldiers to blame themselves. Mao Jue was generous and above the thousand generals did not have to participate in the training camp, but in order not to lose the morale of the army, who dared not come?
In addition to believing in himself wholeheartedly and clamoring Mao Youde, Master Soldier, you are just trying to do whatever you want, Mao Zhongming should still drink. Even the Zhao brothers and Tian Tao have to follow the playground to train next to each other, as tired as a turtle.
However, not everyone complained, and there were some things that were pleasant. The 800-year-old personal soldiers who had been trained for three months in recruits. They have now been upgraded to instructors. How did Mao Jue torture them? Now they torture these newcomers. When standing in the military posture, they should raise their chests and raise their heads. They should not move, and they should hit them again and then hit them again. When moving, they should hit them straight and the queue should be neat. If you are a little wrong, they should hit them again and then hit them again!
The emergence of personal soldiers and servants symbolized the beginning of warlordization in the late Ming Dynasty and the depravity of combat effectiveness. However, if used properly, it may not be a good thing. Mao Jue's personal soldiers are now very similar to a particularly advanced system and professional officer system in the modern Western army in later generations.
The new recruits are actually very good. After three months of hard training, they can basically become elite soldiers. However, a leader with commanding ability and can lead his own 10-person team is actually difficult to train. Don’t be like those other Ming generals who deduct military pay so hard that they can’t survive. If you spend a high salary to maintain a loyal army, even if you are a soldier who is fighting, Mao Jue can always have an army with great combat power.
More than 2,800 elite soldiers were trained to cry and shouting at her parents, practicing queues and obedience under the sun. Mao Jue himself was not idle, staying in the same tent with foreign girls all day long, and was busy with fire and fire.
"Oh, be gentle!"
Adrena was coquettish, and Mao Jue had to quickly take his claws off the mound, but he still left a slap mark.
Don't get me wrong, it's really a mound! After opening Mao Jue's hand, Adrena, a girl, was also a Virgo, and carefully slapped the mound with her little hands. She also inserted two grass stems as trees. Then she patted her little hands comfortably and then poured a bowl of water down.
This girl had been playing with Ni for several days, but Mao Jue was glittering with appreciation and nodding in practice. Now he realized that Adrena, the money had sent him, was such a treasure!
Not only can he grow crops in the New World, but he is more professional in military engineering than gardening. These days, when Wu Xiang went to fight, he took Adrena to climb the mountain and used his large telescope to peek at the terrain in Songling. In the past half month, they made the sand table terrain from the upper reaches of the Daling River to the mouth of the Bohai Sea.
"This battlefield has entered my eyes!"
A few more bowls of water were poured in, and the Daling River began to flow. Looking at the terrain in this area, Mao Jue also had a look of excitement in his eyes, and he reached out and slashed towards the sand table.
"If a dam is set up here..."
"Mr. Jiang, something happened!"
Fortunately, Mao Jue didn't do anything bad this time, otherwise it might have made Wen Meng become impotent, and his face drooped with depression. Mao Jue shouted in anger.
"What happened again?"
"Return to General, the two Mao Shen Generals fought with the soldiers in Liao Town in Jinzhou City!"
Mao Jue rubbed his forehead with a real headache.
…………
Everyone is a passionate soldier. He has been fighting all the time. He is full of pressure on life. Dongjiang and Liaodong still have old grudges. Especially when Mao Jue comes, Wu Sangui comes to show off. Even new and old grudges are included. There are many soldiers fighting in the past two days.
But it is rare to fight like this. Half of the street was smashed. One of the few restaurants in Jinzhou Zuihonglou burned like a big candle. More than 100 soldiers were still tearing each other on the street.
It is worthy of being Mao Youde, one of the few generals in Dongjiang, with his chest like a gorilla, holding a living person in his hand as a weapon, and the wheel was like a windmill. Three or five big men looked at their comrades and screamed, and they didn't dare to go up.
Mao Zhongming next to him was a little miserable. His noses were bleeding like tap water, but he seemed to be more fierce than Mao Youde. He held the shoulders of a Liaodong general and hit his head with a bang. Both of them became like idiots.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly rang on the street. Seeing the military flag coming, the Liaodong army and rats who were fighting lively ran away when they saw the cat. Immediately afterwards, a team of Liaodong infantry wearing cotton armor and holding a compound bow ran out of the street. The one who led the troops was Jiang Xin, a Liaodong army general. Looking at the scene in front of him, he waved his hand coldly.
"High the bow! Prepare!"
"Who dares to see?"
There was no exit from the shooting, and another section of the street, a large group of Dongjiang troops ran out, and Mao Jue came in person. Seeing the Liaodong archers eyeing him, he was so angry that he shouted directly, and the personal soldiers behind him also raised the flintlock rifle flat with a loud bang.
However, it can be seen that these Liaodong troops were really angry about the Dongjiang Army that had been watching the fun for half a month. Mao Jue had come in person. Jiang Xin didn't even want to stop. He glanced gloomyly. The guy obviously threw his head down and muttered a few words from the people next to him. Then, many Liaodong troops holding shields and carrying single-swords rushed to the front.
"Damn, these bastards are all heavy arrows, and they have changed their hand to step forward. This is to see that we are all musketeers, and we want to kill the fire and we are going to do it!"
His face was gloomy and pressed against Mao Jue's ear. Wen Meng said viciously. Mao Jue couldn't help but be stunned. Is he so hateful?
But now he was really afraid. Looking at the Liaodong Army soldiers holding wooden shields and leather shields upwards, a sinister and fierce smile appeared on his face again. A group of masters who made Jiannu cry almost cry. Who gave them the courage to make ground on their heads?
"War again, if you dare to go, don't worry, shoot first, then bastard, and let me go and kill you!"
"Okay, Mr. General!"
Those who trained these days were almost crazy, and the Dongjiang Town soldiers were holding their anger in their hearts. Following Mao Jue's instructions, these guys were also afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and each of them showed a bloodthirsty grin on their faces.
To be honest, Mao Jue really doesn't want to be popular on his own, but seeing Mao Youde and Mao Zhongming fighting in a mess, there is obviously someone who has designed him on his own, otherwise he can't be like this. Since you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
This guy really brought up his ability to fight, and he was carrying a shield and slowly coming up. I guess if he knew the penetration of Mao Jue's muskets, a group of two guys would have run as far as possible. On both sides of the road, the Liaodong army archers behind him were also snatching the commanding heights. He was really interested in killing him, as if he was afraid of shooting Mao Jue away. Before he pulled the bow at the first time, he saw that the distance was less than fifty meters, and the Iron Route Corps was about to poke out of the allies in Liaodong, and the sound of tight footsteps suddenly came from behind the tense streets.
