My son is good at everything, but he is a little too confident.With such a personality, it is often not easy to trust others, even if he is his father.
In fact, Li Yuanlong still attaches great importance to his father, but because he made some wrong decisions before, especially his base Jiuzhen County was also occupied, which caused some changes in his personality, and he always wanted to prove himself, so he has Now for the problem.
If others asked, perhaps Li Li would not give any explanation.After all, he is the king, and he doesn't need to look at other people's faces to make some decisions.But it was his son who asked this question, so it was a different matter. He immediately said in the most amiable tone possible: "My father made such a decision based on two judgments. One, the [-] reinforcements from Lancang Kingdom Sudden withdrawal, although we still don’t know what the reason is, but their retreat must be done by mercenaries, which can prove that they are preparing to do something.”
"Two." Stretching out the second finger of his right hand, King Li Li continued: "The mission we sent to contact Nanming has been away for a long time, and even the news that the capital of the country has been occupied has been sent out for a while. Presumably The current Emperor Nanming should also know what happened here. The mercenary has such a powerful combat power, so not only we must be afraid, but also the young Emperor Nanming. Unless he is out of his mind, otherwise If so, he will definitely find a way to prevent the mercenaries from growing stronger. In this way, if the mercenaries don't do anything, I'm afraid that once their emperor's imperial edict is issued, he will have no chance to do it."
It has to be said that Li Li's IQ is indeed very high, and his analysis is very thorough.These are indeed one of the reasons why Yang Chendong is eager to do it.
Of course, Li Li didn't know that the second reason why Yang Chendong was in a hurry was because he didn't want to waste too much time on conquering the Jiaozhi Kingdom.
The battle of destroying the country was a big event for the generals and even the monarchs in ancient times.It may even take a long time to prepare for this battle.Even ten or twenty years, or even longer, it is normal for several generations to work together.
It's just that all of this is nothing to Yang Chendong who has mastered advanced firearms.Although his current strength is not too strong, as for facing Da Ming, he can win the battle, but it is impossible to easily occupy there.After all, Daming's territory is too big, so big that even the few people in his hands will not even make a few splashes if thrown here.
In comparison, Cochin is different, this is just a small country, and he is ready to conquer them.
You must know that Yang Chendong's plan is so big that others may not be able to understand it.That's it, if countless time and energy are spent on a small cochin, then it is almost impossible to achieve the goal in this life.
Even such a small country needs to spend so much trouble, what should we do when facing those big countries?
Yes.Yang Chendong didn't want to wait any longer, what he wanted was to cut the hemp quickly and solve the cochin issue quickly.In this way, even if others are dissatisfied with what he has done, when he has done everything and done it well, what else can others say?
No matter what Yang Chendong thought, at least Li Li's analysis was correct.He explained the two reasons, and even the crown prince Li Yuanlong was convinced of this point of view, and then said: "Father, since this is the case, are we going to prepare for the battle?"
"Of course we're going to fight, but we still need to be prepared for peace talks." Li Li nodded first, then shook his head, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "We are still too weak to fight. We can't continue fighting, otherwise, even if the mercenaries don't kill us, others won't let us go."
After saying this, Li Li said in a somewhat angry voice: "Send someone to investigate again, what happened to the assassination of Mrs. Zhongdangong? And the assassin is called Mo Tuo, what is he?" origin?"
Hearing his father mentioning this matter, Prince Li Yuanlong immediately told him what he knew, "Father, the child has sent someone to investigate the matter of Mo Tuo. Control, we were wronged."
"Of course I know this, but I have to give others an explanation. In this way, let's investigate the matter clearly." Li Li said with a dark face.
Mo Tuo assassinated Mrs. Yang Chendong, but was killed without success. This doesn't seem like a big deal.But now it has become the fuse of the war. If this matter is not resolved, the mercenaries will not retreat so easily. Even if it is to give the opponent a step down, this matter must be investigated clearly. is.
"Yes, the child understands." After knowing what his father meant, Li Yuanlong nodded and agreed.
"Okay, boys, it's time to show you. If the mercenaries come to attack, I hope everyone can go all out. Only if you have a perfect performance on the battlefield, the next negotiation will go smoothly. Only then can our Cochin Kingdom regain its strength and return to its heyday."
"Yes." All the civil and military ministers also lowered their heads and agreed at this moment. Of course, they can also see what will happen to them if they lose the next battle.Becoming a prisoner is probably the best result.Thinking of losing freedom and all life of enjoyment because of this, it is no wonder that everyone will try their best.
Just as the Cochin Army was making preparations, the mercenaries ten miles outside the city also began to move forward.
The [-] Cochin mercenaries lined up on both sides. Leng Feng's third battalion stood out as the main force. Next to them were seven auxiliary battalions, and behind them were seven temporary auxiliary battalions.
The army of 5000 people moved forward slowly at a very neat pace, approaching from the original distance of ten miles to nine miles and eight miles, and finally stopped at a distance of four miles.
Facing the mercenaries who were staring at them eagerly, the Jiaozhi Army in Xiyu City quickly responded. General Li Shaozhong was the vanguard, leading an army of [-] out of the east gate. If you move forward, they will pounce on you and make a life-and-death look.
Li Shaozhong was not considered a general in the Cochin Army, let alone a famous general, but King Li Li still sent him to lead the battle, the meaning of the test was obviously very obvious.At the same time, he seemed to be using this to tell Yang Chendong that he didn't intend to fight to the death with him, and everyone could sit down and discuss anything.
How could Yang Chendong not see the goodwill released by the Cochin Army?Not only did he see it, but everyone around him felt it too.It was like Luo Po, the head of Leng Feng's Second Regiment, said with a smile, "Sixth Young Master, it seems that they are a little cowardly."
"Hahaha." Listening to the commander's words, the other officers also laughed.
Yang Chendong also had a smile on his face, but the smile disappeared quickly and was replaced by a look of determination. "Send two auxiliary barracks, and greet them well first."
I'm afraid, it's not what Yang Chendong wanted.Looking at the history of China, isn't it true for many foreign races?When you are weak, they will bully you unceremoniously, and when you are strong, they will try to flatter you with a frightened look. This is due to human nature.
The difference is that Yang Chendong doesn't have such a broad mind, or in other words, he doesn't have a broad mind, except for his own people of course.By the way, he holds grudges very much, since you all want to participate in the civil strife in Ming Dynasty, then you must be prepared to steal everything.There is nothing so cheap in the world. If you think about it, you can punch someone. If you are afraid, you won't let others beat you.
Chapter 523 Shocking
Originally, everyone was worried whether the sixth young master would feel compassion because of the other party's weakness.After all, as soldiers, the battlefield is the best examination room. If there is no battle, their sense of existence will only become weaker and weaker.
Now Yang Chendong is not softened because of the other party's actions, and still decided to fight for a while.The battalion commanders of the seven auxiliary battalions became excited, but it was a pity that there were only two places, and they became the object of the seven people's competition for a while.
Lu Zhuo, head of the auxiliary regiment, was also very troubled by the obviously insufficient quota.Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of these seven battalions is basically not much different, and it is really not a good choice to send who or not to send.Later, after consulting Yang Chendong, it was decided to draw lots.
Of course, Captain Lu Zhuo also said that if he is lucky enough to be drawn but does not perform well on the battlefield, next time something like this happens, he will have to stand aside and be used as the second echelon at most.
The lucky ones are the fifth and sixth battalions.It's just that the other battalions are not without hope. As long as they don't perform well, it's time for them to play.
In order not to give other battalions a chance, the commanders of the fifth battalion and the sixth battalion gathered their company commanders, platoon leaders, and even the squad leader, and held an emergency meeting. In their words, if the next battle Among them, whoever loses the chain, then don't blame them for being cruel and directly expelled from the military.
This is dismissal from the military, not as simple as retiring.The latter is at least not in the army anymore, and he can still do some other things, and with this experience in the army, there should be many units in Chixian City rushing to ask for it.But if it is the former, if they are really expelled from the military, then they will really be ashamed to face others, and it will be more painful than killing them.
That's right, the two battalions had a total of [-] soldiers, each of whom was screaming, looking like they would definitely do their best.
In terms of logistics, the soldiers of the two battalions were given a good lunch of six meat and two vegetables, and after a quarter of an hour's rest, eight hundred warriors jumped over the third battalion of Lengfeng, which was playing the vanguard, and headed towards the [-] soldiers outside the city. The Cochin Army slowly leaned over.
No matter where the cold front fighters go, they are the absolute main force.But they didn't intend to fight this first battle, which made the company commanders below look displeased.The company commander Tiance went straight to the battalion commander Kong Quanxin and expressed his dissatisfaction. "Battalion Commander, why didn't you let us go in the first battle? Did the Sixth Young Master have a problem with us?"
"Fart." Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then he shouted.
In comparison, among the three battalion commanders of Leng Feng's second regiment, Kong Quanxin's temper was considered good.Although it is not as good as the second battalion commander Chen Bo's aura of a Confucian general, but at least it is much better than the first battalion commander Wu Sheng.But in this moment, he still couldn't help scolding people.
No wonder he has a bad temper.He was not used in the first battle this time, and he was suffocating in his heart.
I thought that the first battalion was still in the Lang Son area waiting to dig out the rear of the Cochin Army, and the second battalion was outside Yinglou City, dealing with the [-] Lancang Army, so the heavy responsibility of attacking Nanyu City would naturally fall on me .
Even before he was ready for pre-war mobilization.But who would have thought that the Sixth Young Master did not use them in the first battle, but sent two auxiliary barracks, which disappointed him and naturally held his breath.Now that the company commander below is looking for him, it is strange to have a good temper.
Although he was angry, Kong Quanxin was more aware that he could not bring this temper into the army, so after cursing, he said: "Don't think too much, the sixth young master must want to use steel on the blade. Don’t you know that the opponent’s general is just an unknown pawn in the Cochin Army? Facing them, of course we don’t need a main force like ours to take action, so we should get ready and wait to fight their main force, that’s what we Leng Feng should do Things to do."
Kong Quanxin's thoughts were exactly what Yang Chendong was thinking.It's just that facing the 800 Cochin Army, it's not the strongest army yet, that is, I didn't see the iron shield soldiers, and I didn't see the iron chariots appearing, and the opponents were not elephant soldiers or black soldiers, so why did he send the strongest main force? Woolen cloth?Sending out two auxiliary barracks is already a great way to save face. Although the gap between 2 people and [-] people seems to be so big, Yang Chendong is still not worried at all.
The mercenaries have the strongest advanced firearms in the world. As long as they don't rush to play close combat and hand-to-hand combat with their opponents, there is a great chance of winning the [-] to [-] battles.
Just like in the later period, the little Jiannu was only a few hundred cavalry and killed tens of thousands of Ming troops and fled in embarrassment.Now that even they can do it, mercenaries will have no problem.
Closer to home.In the two auxiliary battalions, eight hundred soldiers walked out of the mercenary ranks, and began to approach the Cochin Army on the opposite side.
Li Shaozhong rode on the horse, and when he saw the mercenaries walking out of less than a thousand people from a distance, he couldn't help but sneered when he was still nervous, "These mercenaries are too conceited, I really think they are made of iron, Can’t you kill them? Hmph! If you want to shake my [-]-strong army with less than a thousand people, you’re courting death, and I’ll make it happen for you. Come on, blow the battle horn, rush up and kill them.”
Although Li Shaozhong, who was extremely superior in military strength, knew that the mercenaries had advanced muskets, but considering his superiority in numbers, his fear was quickly suppressed.And as the military order was issued, the [-] Cochin Army also marched forward step by step under the sharp horn.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are no boundaries.Just outside the east gate of Xiyu City, when the team of 3 people is fully deployed, the pressure on people is still great. At least these Jiaozhi soldiers suddenly became courageous because of this momentum, and walked away one by one. He uttered a kill word in one step, and the sound resounded between the heaven and the earth, echoing for a long time without dispersing.
To the west is on the tower in the east of the city, King Jiaozhi Lili, the prince and others are watching here.
Seeing that the mercenaries had only dispatched less than a thousand people, these people on the tower couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in their eyes.Most of them are thinking in their hearts, even if your mercenary weapons are advanced, but fighting [-] with [-] is too much.As long as these people rushed to the front, they might be able to cover up the mercenaries by spitting out their mouths.
Indeed, many Cochin people think so.
But on the other hand, the mercenaries also have a consistent view, that is, it is time for the auxiliary soldiers to show off their power.
When the [-] Jiaozhi soldiers started to move forward, the [-] auxiliary soldiers stopped there.Then the soldiers checked their weapons and ammunition one by one. After ten seconds, all the soldiers raised their guns again and looked forward.
