Mrs. Ding laughed: "Wuji is really a good boy. He has often gone to Lianhua Village to guard duty with his father this year. He is familiar with the terrain there, and the soldiers also admire him. As long as he
After giving the order, the brothers in the village stood by him, which was no problem, but..."
Having said this, she glanced at Zhang Yu: "It's just that the more than a thousand brothers brought over by Bao Liuzi later, although they were the old members of our Ding family, were snatched away by Bao Haozi for more than a year, and later transferred to Zhang
Chang Shi, your men, I really can’t guarantee whether they will still listen to my Wuji’s orders.”
Zhang Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Ding, these old members of your Ding family have suffered enough and suffered enough under the Bao family. The generals of the Bao family regard them as prisoners or even slaves."
, beat, scold and humiliate them at every turn, just because they were bullied so badly and were often sent to remote and remote places. They were extremely dissatisfied and had the possibility of mutiny, so I suggested to Bao Haozi that these old members of the Ding family should be sent to
I will be in charge for the time being, and Bao Haozi was afraid of a mutiny, so he agreed to this request."
Mrs. Ding sighed: "Finally we have waited until today. We have endured a lot of hardships and suffered a lot in the past two years. We can finally see the day when the army commander Wang Shi comes back."
When she said this, tears welled up in her eyes. It can be seen that this heroine in the eyes of outsiders has been effectively imprisoned at home in Nankang City for the past two years. Her whole family has become a hostage. For her former subordinates, even
It is difficult to see even my own son, how bitter and painful it is.
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "It's all my fault. I didn't protect everyone back then, didn't guard Nankang, and didn't stop the monster thieves. This is my fault as a guard. Mrs. Ding, in order to save your family, you were forced to surrender.
Demon thief, this is not a crime, this is the time for us to take revenge together."
At this point, Zhu Chaoshi said in a deep voice: "Zhang Changshi, do you mean that those old members of the Ding family will stand on Ding Wuji's side and attack the monster thieves as long as they give an order?"
Zhang Yu said confidently: "This is inevitable. In the past, the soldiers of the Ding family lived very well in the Ding family. In the past two years, they have suffered a lot. More than half of them have fled. The reason why we look at the number of people now
It’s almost the same as before, because the Bao family arrested people in the original Dingjiadong area and forced them into the army, and sent their lackeys and minions to sit in these places to prevent people from fleeing. So once these people have the opportunity to resist,
I will never show mercy. I am sure that if Ding Wuji ordered the execution of Bao Liuzi and his guards, they would definitely respond in large numbers, and then follow the Wang division ambushing in the mountains to destroy Bao Hao's troops. It is also inevitable.
.”
Mrs. Ding laughed, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zhu Chaoshi: "General Zhu, how many troops and horses have you brought this time? I haven't asked yet."
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "I have brought 300 cavalry and 600 troops under General Yu Yue. They have all been ambushed near the Lotus Village."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Mrs. Ding's face: "There are less than a thousand people. If we include our troops here, there are only more than two thousand people. There are still more than two thousand party members loyal to Bao Haozi in the city."
People, and Bao Haozhi still has 6,000 troops. With our strength, can we really recover Nankang?"
Zhang Yu also became nervous, frowning deeply: "There seems to be a big difference in strength. Otherwise, before Bao Haozhi arrives, we first seize Nankang, fight a defensive battle, and then eliminate Bao Haozhi's other gang members, and then
Call together other major wealthy families to fight against Bao Hao."
Mrs. Ding also nodded and said: "Yes, although Master Wang is elite, the number is far behind after all, and what Bao Haozhi brings are all elite old thieves. Their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of Bao Haozhi's city defense troops.
I feel that the ambush may not be successful, and if it fails, I am afraid that even the city may not be able to return. It is better to go back to the city first and eliminate Bao Haozi's men, and then unite the major families to recruit troops to fight against the demon thieves."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ding raised her eyebrows slightly: "Moreover, General Yu Yue's reputation in Jiangzhou was not very good before. If his men come to fight, I'm afraid some other families may not be willing to side with us.
.”
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Yes, General Zhu, you just said that we are just the vanguard and there will be follow-ups. Otherwise, we should be more prudent and defend the city first to win the support of the major families. As long as we defend Nankang
City, once reinforcements arrive, we will attack from both inside and outside to eliminate the demon thieves."
Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "You two, this time I brought such a force to prepare to use this force to completely eliminate the Bao brothers and capture Nankang City. I also made a very accurate judgment on the strength of the enemy and ourselves.
The reason why I dispatched this unit later is not to say that I cannot bring out more than 3,000 troops, but to say that the march of such a large force cannot conceal its whereabouts and will definitely alert the enemy. Secondly, our army is here.
The people who came this time were all the top elites of the Jingzhou Army. The three hundred people were my Chinese soldiers. All of them were veterans who had followed me in Jiangzhou. More than half of them were captured by demon thieves in Nankang.
We have experienced great suffering and deep hatred, all of which are just dreams of avenging our past humiliation, and our fighting spirit is far stronger than that of conventional troops."
Having said this, he paused and continued: "As for General Yu Yue's subordinates that you are worried about, they are not his former Jiangzhou army. The current General Yu has reorganized a new army. This time
As the vanguard of the entire army, we must attack Jiangzhou and capture the entire Jiangzhou to clear the way forward for the army to advance eastward along the river, fight against the main force of monsters and thieves."
Zhang Yu sighed: "If General Zhu came to do this, we would all believe it, but Yu Yue has long proven that he is just a standard young man from an aristocratic family. He is not trained in military affairs and can defeat all his subordinates."
Mutiny is also a matter of talent. As the saying goes, a strong general has no weak soldiers. On the other hand, every soldier is raging, and a general is raging in a nest. How can we have confidence in General Yu's troops?"
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly and said: "This time General Yu Yue's army was formed with Luo Longsheng of the Yongzhou Army as the core. Lord Luo was a powerful general of the Chu Army during the Huanxuan period, and he was also able to do so when he was in Yongzhou.
Zheng Shanzhan, most of his subordinates are veterans and elites, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of my subordinates. You can completely believe in the strength of this unit."
Mrs. Ding laughed: "If it were Luo Longsheng's army, then I wouldn't have anything to worry about. He had led troops to our area during the Huanchu period. It was indeed powerful. However, how could he come from Yongzhou?"
Where did the army go to Yu Yue's hands?" (End of Chapter)
