Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1503: Three-way drums at Mao Shi, commanding generals and troops
Chapter 1503: Three-way drums at Mao Shi, commanding generals and troops
Chapter 1503: Three drums are used at Mao hour, and the generals are ordered to order their troops.
The general pretended to be ill just to stay in the military camp and prevent himself from delivering the goods smoothly. How could Yue Lin give him this opportunity?
Sure enough, when the deputy general heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
After hesitating for a moment, the lieutenant general said carefully, "The handover of the seal naturally requires the two generals to face each other. Otherwise, wouldn't it be bad if some things cannot be explained clearly?
Why don't we rest for two days and wait until General Wu is better before we deal with it?"
brush!
Yue Lin's face turned cold, "General Meng, what I have in my hands is the official order. Before I came here, I was entrusted by Marquis Zhongwu. If the military order was delayed, I would either go to His Majesty Shu to discuss it or write a letter."
Explain to Marquis Zhongwu?
Moreover, if you try your best to shirk it, can you bear the responsibility?"
A veteran general said calmly, "Of course, the military is not as good as the court, but the military laws are also strict. If someone misses the military order, he cannot be punished with his head!"
Before the deputy general could speak, Yue Lin said again, "Tomorrow at Mao hour, I will gather the drums and beat the generals to read out the imperial edict. If General Wu can come, it will naturally be the best. If he cannot come, there is an imperial edict, and I will make the border on my own.
, check it yourself!”
After that, he immediately stepped forward on his horse and headed towards the military camp.
As for Meng Xiangrong, he could only lead everyone into the military camp with a dark face.
Meng Xiangrong led everyone into the military tent and then left in a hurry.
This Yue Lin obviously came with bad intentions, and he still needs Wu Jun to get a charter!
That night, Yue Lin and others had a good sleep. However, the lights in the other tent were brightly lit, and it was not until midnight that they completely calmed down.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, dull drum beats suddenly sounded in the camp. Not long after, Yue Lin, who had finished washing himself, headed towards the general station surrounded by a group of generals.
In the south of the camp, on the huge martial arts field, there is a towering platform, and several soldiers under Yue Lin's command are hammering the war drums vigorously!
When Yue Lin and his party arrived at the general stage, there was still no one on the martial arts field!
A family general stroked the sword on his waist and sneered, "Major General, it seems that there are quite a lot of ghosts who don't want to die. How dare you not come when the general orders a general!"
"Have you sent the general's orders to all armies and battalions yesterday?"
Yue Lin asked in a cold voice.
"Young General, everyone has arrived!"
When Yue Lin heard this, he stopped talking!
Not long after, the second drum sounded again, but at this time, soldiers in twos and threes began to gather here. Seeing Yue Lin and others on the general stage, all of whom were in neat armor, these people couldn't help but be startled, and then
Gathering together quietly.
As time went by, more and more people came, but Yue Lin's face did not look good.
This is the first time he has led an army alone, and he has great expectations for this. He really wants to lead the invincible soldiers into the battle like his father and the commander-in-chief! However, these soldiers who are coming now are in twos and threes, wearing well-dressed clothes.
It was messy, some were holding weapons, or holding them on the ground, or standing aside casually, and there were quite a few who were just wandering around with their hands behind their backs, as if they were not here to do some magic, but more like an old man taking a walk in the morning.
.
He had been among the various armies in Chengdu Prefecture before, and he had never seen such a sloppy scene! If anyone dared to do this, he would have been taken out by the superior officer and beheaded.
This is not an exaggeration at all. Although Xin Qiji, Shao Hongyuan and others were sympathetic to their officers and soldiers, they were extremely strict in running the army, and the military regulations were even more terrifying.
For example, if a soldier dares to look around or make a loud noise while in formation, the commander of the capital will simply drag him out and chop off his head without having to report it.
As for wartime, military regulations are even more stringent! The combat effectiveness of the army is always directly related to the strict military regulations. Just like these soldiers in front of you, I am afraid that they will be immediately scattered when they encounter a strong enemy. How can they win the battle?
"General Qian Hao, commander of the Third Army, is here to see you, general!"
A general wearing page armor came to the general stand and saluted Yue Lin!
"Organize the soldiers under your command, present the roster, and order it later!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Major General, according to the information we have inquired about, Qian Hao is not on good terms with Wu Jun. However, it is said that he has some backers in the court, so although he is squeezed out by Wu Jun, he can still get by."
"There are also several other commanders mentioned in the news. Although they are not in the same lineage as Wu Jun, they are just hanging out in the army. They are not loyal and brave people!"
Yue Lin nodded slightly. He had already read these news in detail, and naturally he knew it well! To put it bluntly, in today's Jiangyin Army, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, these are the commanders and battalion commanders who are almost terrible and have no use at all.
man of.
However, except for a few direct descendants of Wu Jun, it is unrealistic to cut down all others.
Kill the chickens first to scare the monkeys and control the troops and horses. As for the rest, there will be no trouble. When the time comes, whether to kill or retain is just a matter of words.
As Mao hour approached, more and more soldiers gathered, and several more commanders came to pay tribute to Yue Lin. Yue Lin just responded with a cold face and said nothing more!
"Most of the soldiers should have arrived by now!"
Yue Lin asked in a low voice.
A general next to him nodded, "Major General, there should be 12,000 or 3,000 people! However, there are still four capital commanders who have not arrived, and Xue Che, the food officer who controls the food and military pay, has not yet arrived. As for the battalion-level commanders,
There are more than twenty people!”
The structure of the Jiangyin Army is the same as that of other local armies, with ten armies and fifty battalions of soldiers and horses! However, it is obviously not enough. Otherwise, the number of soldiers and horses would be at least 20,000.
Of course, this situation is normal, and there are very few people who can reach full capacity now.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
At exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, the third drumbeat sounded immediately! It was only then that the deputy general Meng Xiangrong arrived in a hurry!
"Zhou Qi, Han Wenzheng... click Mao!"
Yue Lin shouted coldly, and then, more than a dozen famous masters brought some soldiers and started to order Mao with thick rosters!
This inventory took half an hour. After everyone returned at midnight and reported to Yue Lin, Yue Lin sneered and asked the deputy general Meng Xiangrong.
"General Meng, according to the roster, the Jiangyin Army has 17,835 people! But now there are only more than 13,200 people. Come and tell me, where are the other 4,000 people?"
The corners of Meng Xiangrong's eyes twitched fiercely, "General, we had a series of fierce battles with the members of the White Lotus Society, and many soldiers in the army died in the battle, so there is a vacancy!"
"Then why was it not mentioned in the military report to the imperial court?"
"This... because there are too many people, the verification has not been completed yet. After that, it will naturally be reported to the court!"
