【Chapter 473】Apologize with the head of Tartar
[Chapter 473] Carrying the Tartars' head to forgive sin
(0473)
【Today's first update is delivered!】
Xu Xingxia's arrival attracted many surrendered soldiers from the government. Most of them were unfamiliar with the name Xu Xingxia. After all, Gansu Town and Ningxia Town were far apart. As the military households living at the bottom, it was impossible to know the detailed information about another military town. The senior management of Gansu Town also consciously paid attention to everything related to Xu Xingxia. However, they have brains and eyes, and they can think of some of them themselves!
They all witnessed the battle just now. They originally thought that the Tartars were the most terrifying enemy, but they did not expect that the White-Clothed Army would be even more terrifying by the Tartars. The two Thousand-Person Tartars were all packed up in such a short time. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed it? They wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death! But now, they all believed it completely. The White-Clothed Army is so powerful. As the highest commander of the White-Clothed Army, how could this Xu Xingxia not be powerful? It is said that he has a nickname, called Xu Laomo.
However, they didn't know how Xu Xingxia would deal with them. Their current identity was a rebel, not a rebellious rebellion, but a treason. This was a very serious crime. Although the decision to surrender to the Tartars was not made by them, they were also considered as an accomplice. It is said that what Xu Laomo hated the most was the thief. As long as it was a thief, no one could be let go. Moreover, they tried to drag the cannons and prepare to help the Tartars attack Ningxia Town. Even if there was no previous crime, the last one alone would be enough for Xu Xingxia to dismantle them.
Soon, Xu Xingxia's figure appeared in the horrified and doubtful eyes of everyone. His face was indeed not very good-looking. There was no warmth in his eyes. He did not have any good feelings for these rebels in Gansu Town. If they had not been useful, he might have really started a massacre and surrendered to the Tartars! There was no more serious crime than this! He tried hard to control his emotions and said sternly: "I am Xu Xingxia! You all stand up for me! All stand up! Stand up straight!"
The surrendered soldiers of the official army, no matter what posture they had before, hurriedly stood up and straightened their waists as straight as possible. This was the first order from Xu Laomo. If they did not follow the execution, they would be afraid that the fate would be very bad. Especially those officers felt that the back of their necks was chilly, as if a butcher knife would be chopped off at any time. Many people were praying secretly that if they could pass the level in front of them smoothly, they would definitely kill the chicken and return to the gods. Facing this Xu Laomo, they felt that the pressure was greater than that of the Tartars!
Fortunately, Xu Xingxia did not continue to say anything, nor did he issue a murder order. He just waved his hand and asked Gao Yigong to continue to be busy with his affairs. He turned his horse's head and prepared to go to Gulang City. He is not clear about the situation in Gulang City for the time being. He has no news for the time being whether Mo Rigen has arrived in Gulang City. However, one thing is certain, that is, in the future, Gulang City will definitely be the focus of his and Mo Rigen's attention.
He needed to defend Gulang City to block Mo Rigen's path. As long as the white-clothed army cut off the road to Gulang City, Mo Rigen could only go around the inside of Gansu Town. This was definitely a year for the Tatars who were eager to plunder and replenish the consumption of materials. The purpose of the Tatars to go south was very utilitarian. If there was no profit and only back and forth tossing, it would be like a chronic suicide. If they were tossing a few more times, they would destroy themselves.
In order to avoid the worst case of going south with a strong and strong pride, Mo Rigen had to open up the passage of Gulang City and continue to march towards Ningxia Town. Last time in Ningxia Town, although he suffered a little loss and was injured in Xu Xingxia's hands, he still had some gains in general and did not take it for nothing. But this time, if he could not enter Ningxia Town, he would really have to go for nothing.
With such a little capital in Gansu Town, Morigen is simply not enough to get a gap between his teeth. Compared with Ningxia Town, Gansu Town is really useless and has nothing to do. Food and forage alone are enough for Morigen to have a headache. If there is no large amount of supplies to supplement, he will stay here for at most two or three months. Once it snows and the earth is frozen, his actions will be even more difficult. In other words, the battlefield where the two of them fight should be near Gulang City.
Mo Rigen had at least about 40,000 elite cavalry in his hands. This was a very powerful force, and the field was almost invincible. Unless there were 20,000 cavalry, the White-clothed Army faced the battle head-on and had almost no confidence in victory. What's more serious is that there were tens of thousands of Gansu Town rebels who fought in concert by Mo Rigen. They were all infantry and had siege weapons. Under the supervision of the Tartars, they had certain ability to attack.
Therefore, the number of troops in the White-clothed Army guarding Gulang City must not be too small. At least one-fifth of the Tartars' troops, that is, about 10,000 people. However, the current White-clothed Army has not yet gathered so many. The Eagle Cavalry, Mastiff Cavalry, Lion Cavalry, Dragon Cavalry, Tiger Cavalry, and even his guard hunting cavalry hunting army, the total strength is less than 10,000. Unless the troops attacking Xining City can come to reinforce as soon as possible.
Where can the gap in the military force be made up? Of course, it is from the rebels in front of you. Morigen can use the rebels in Gansu Town, and Xu Xingxia can also use the rebels in Gansu Town. For example, operating cannons, building fortifications, and cleaning up the battlefield, these rebels can use them. When necessary, transporting a large number of muskets from behind, they can temporarily serve as musketeers. With enough troops, they will be much calmer when facing Morigen.
"You, here!"
"You, over there!"
"You, the middle!"
Gao Yigong took the soldiers of the Lion Cavalry to separate the rebel officers and soldiers. The officers must have carefully identified and cannot continue to remain in the office. Regardless of whether they really have the intention to surrender to the rebels, they cannot continue to stay in the army. The surrendered officers absolutely have no prestige. However, ordinary soldiers can continue to use it. Just select new officers. The White-Clothed Army has become more and more experienced in this move. When they were at Jinjiatai, Xu Xingxia used this move.
Xu Xingxia asked Gao Yigong to organize the surrendered soldiers of these official troops, carry out preliminary ideological education, and then put them on the battlefield as soon as possible. The first thing they had to do was to drag the cannons back to Gulang City to assist the White-Clothed Army in battle. Secondly, it was to help the White-Clothed Army organize logistics transportation to meet the needs of front-line combat. This time, the White-Clothed Army had a long-distance raid, and the requirements for logistics transportation were also very high. Without guaranteeing logistics supply, the front-line could not fight.
The main task of the White-Clothed Army's dispatch this time was to control Gulang City. There is no doubt that after the government troops in Gansu Town surrendered, some of the cannons would definitely be used by the Tartars. If the Tartars used cannons to attack Gulang City, if the White-Clothed Army did not have cannons, they would suffer losses. No matter how powerful the Sun and Moon guns are, no matter how long the range is, they are not as good as cannons! This has been fully proved in Ningxia City and Yulin City. In future battles, artillery is the king.
On the contrary, if the white-clothed army could use these more than 80 cannons, it would be hard to say who would hit whom. I have the advantage of the height of the city wall and the cover of powerful muskets. It would be difficult for the Tartars to attack. As long as the city wall is covered by the city wall, no matter how powerful Mo Rigen is, he will only stare at him.
"Gao Yigong! I'll leave first! I'll leave it here for you!" Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.
The Lion Cavalry Army who had left Gao Yigong to handle the follow-up affairs, Xu Xingxia led the hunting cavalry to continue moving forward. He was increasingly eager to reach Gulang City. He had a strange intuition, as if he noticed that Mo Rigen was also hurried towards Gulang City. Whoever rushed to Gulang City first would be able to seize the initiative. It makes sense that he took the initiative and then took control of others.
At this time, the troops led by Xia Kewu and Liu Heng also arrived one after another. Hunting cavalry, Dragon Cavalry, Tiger Cavalry and other troops were crowded with each other, and the road was filled with cavalry of the white-clothed army. In addition, the number of lion cavalry was even greater. The canyon was not big, and so many cavalry of the white-clothed army was spectacular for a while. The blue military uniforms, hats of different colors, and shiny bayonets attracted the attention of countless people.
The Ming army surrendered soldiers lined up on both sides of the canyon and found that so many white-clothed troops arrived, and their expressions were naturally even more exciting. Many people turned from their original fear and anxiety to their envy and yearning. Some people were even drooling quietly. After all, no one likes to be born to be a thief. *** is not a rebellion, a riot, or a riot. This is ***! Any military household understands the meaning of ***.
***, this is a serious crime that is even more serious than rebellion. No matter who is involved, it will be difficult to wash away in his whole life. They are forced to be thieves, and they are very unhappy. They have changed from an official army to a rebel entirely because of their superiors. If their superiors firmly fight against the Tartars, they will not be rebels. However, it is too late to say anything now. What they have to consider now is how to clear away their crimes and become a normal soldier.
How can we clear our crimes? The easiest way is to forgive the Tartars with the head of the Tartars! There is no more direct and effective way than this. But with their ability, how can we kill the Tartars? There is only one way, that is, to kill the enemy with the White Army! The White Army will fight the main force, and they can just take advantage of the side.
