Chapter 40 The coward is afraid of death and must die
Indeed, if the Battle of Dangshan, which was the first confrontation between Li Laiheng and the Qing army, was expanded in scope and focused on the entire eastern Henan area, then this "Battle of Eastern Henan" could also be regarded as a siege and reinforcements.
Battle.
Chen Yongfu himself was besieged in Mamuji. He certainly understood the critical situation after the disadvantaged side broke away from the city defense. As the siege party during the "Battle of East Henan", Li Laiheng should also be very aware that the siegeers were eager to mobilize the enemy at this time.
mentality.
"Whoever has the initiative to mobilize the enemy and annihilate them in the field must be thinking about this."
Chen Yongfu's blunt words made everyone in the hall frown. Liu Fangliang's face was very ugly. He snorted several times, stood up again and wanted to say something. He opened his hand in the air and held it back after a long time.
.
As for the others, in Li Laiheng's opinion, he should have immediately refuted Chen Yongfu's words and asked the Zhending defenders to immediately rescue Hao Yaoqi in Dongsan City. At this time, he supported Chen Yongfu's opinion.
After all, Hao Yaoqi is no longer the rough man who stole chickens and dogs in Longju Village. How many battles has he fought? In every battle that Li Laiheng experienced, Hao Yaoqi charged in the front and retreated from behind. How many times did he fight
Regardless of life and death, he fought desperately for Dashun's country.
Now that fate has focused the attention of everyone in the world on Zhending, the choices of Li Laiheng and Liu Fangliang may affect the fate of the world, East Asia, and the world in the next hundreds of years.
Can Hao Yaoqi say anything? What does he need to say?
Hao Yaoqi knelt down on one knee. This bold and straight warrior, who had always shown himself to be "no other person", said in a firm tone that Li Laiheng had hardly heard before:
"Chen Yongfu and I have the same idea. It is true that the defenders must not be dispatched easily. As long as we survive these few days and wait until Banzai arrives with the troops, it will not be too late to counterattack immediately."
"Not too late?" Liu Fangliang shook his head and sneered, "Twenty thousand troops are attacking Shenzhou. I wonder how many troops Donglu can invest in these few days?
It is really important, but Wuqiang, Shenzhou, and Jinzhou are not important? A single move can affect the whole body, and a city is destroyed, not just a city is destroyed. What's more, we are hiding behind the city wall, sitting back and watching the destruction of other brothers,
Sit back and watch other people being slaughtered.
How is the morale? How is the morale of the army? How can this account be on the battlefield?"
Liu Fangliang made up his mind, and walked straight through the hall, squeezing through the dozens of military staff members who crowded the hall. The young staff officers quickly got out of the way, and Liu Fangliang walked straight to the door, with his back to Li Laiheng and raised his
He raised his right hand and said:
"Cowards are afraid of death and must die. There is no victory waiting for them!"
Li Laiheng looked at Chen Yongfu and Hao Yaoqi who were kneeling on the ground. He was impressed by their courage to "not move", and was also touched by the distant Dongsan City. He looked at Fang Yiren, as if he wanted to ask for some help.
, but then immediately turned his attention back to the map.
No one can help you make a choice.
"Cowards who fear death must die..."
With a swipe sound, Li Laiheng pulled out his saber from the scabbard made of green shark skin. He stabbed the knife into the center of the table. After letting go, he looked around the hall and walked behind Liu Fangliang with unhurried but firm steps.
"Master Liu, I understand that a coward who is afraid of death will eventually die, but a man with lofty ideals will be rewarded by his kindness. We will fight! Shenzhou must be rescued!"
"good!"
Liu Fangliang turned around and locked fists with Li Laiheng.
Dozens of staff officers in the hall knelt on the ground one after another, followed by Fang Yiren, Gu Junen, Gu Kecheng, Hao Yaoqi, Chen Yongfu and others.
Since both coaches Li Laiheng and Liu Fangliang have made the same decision, what else is there to say?
"Da Shun wins!"
Fang Yiren finally showed a smile and said warmly: "Huang Taiji attacks Shenzhou. No matter whether we save him or not, he is in an invincible position. If we don't save the siege of Shenzhou, it is very likely that His Majesty's army will leave Jingxingkou."
Previously, sitting back and watching the Shenzhou City be destroyed caused the morale of the Dashun Army to decline before the battle.
However, if we send all our troops to stop the enemy, we may not be able to really rescue Shenzhou. Once there is a slight defeat, not only will it not be able to block the Qing army's offensive, but it may allow Huang Taiji to seize the opportunity to capture Zhending and Zhending at the same time.
Shenzhou.
The secret of using troops depends on single-mindedness. There is no secret recipe for victory on the battlefield. Now that the two monarchs have made a decision, they will gallop forward. Let us wait and see whether Huang Taiji's sword is sharp or not.
.”
Li Laiheng laughed out loud for a rare occasion. Indeed, he rarely laughed so confidently.
Sui Hou asserted: "The brave advance, the cowards retreat, do you still need to choose between advance and retreat? The military spirit of the Dashun Army is always to attack. Huang Taiji... should let the slaves outside the pass have a taste of the new dynasty.
The founding sword of the country!”
The soldiers gathered in arms, and the generals immediately followed Li Laiheng and Liu Fangliang to prepare for the rescue. Gu Junen led the staff of the Army Joining Department to immediately mobilize soldiers, horses, food and supplies. Everything in Zhending City began to move at this moment.
Li Laiheng seemed to hear a "click" in his ears, as beautiful as the sound of a key opening a door correctly. Time began to turn, and history was moving forward. He looked far into the distance, and over Zhending City, the sun was high and the sun was shining.
New dynasty, new dynasty, can the vigorous vitality of a new regime overwhelm Huang Taiji, who has never failed?
War horses, artillery, swords and guns, arrows, armor, flags...all the military flags and baggage were already in place. Liu Fangliang had originally made up his mind to let Li Laiheng stay at Zhending and lead the reinforcements eastward to block the Qing army's offensive, but Li Laiheng refused to let Liu Fangliang
The United States is alone, not to mention that Liu Fangliang lacks experience in commanding artillery operations.
Among the Dashun Army, only Li Laiheng and Li Shiwei can be called organizers of artillery tactics. Perhaps Fang Yiren can be counted as half a name thanks to his understanding and skills of artillery.
Judging from the current situation, Li Laiheng can believe that without his own organization, Dashun Army will definitely be at a disadvantage in artillery battles.
He also knew how dangerous it was to march eastward to stop the enemy. How many people did he have in reserve? He had to leave troops for defense everywhere. The situation of Dashun Army was too passive and unfavorable. It can be said that most of the initiative was lost.
In the hands of Huang Taiji, once the Shun army leaves the city, they may be caught by the enemy at any time with extremely superior troops, and be forced to engage in a field battle at an unfavorable fighter opportunity that is fundamentally unfavorable to me.
"Attack, attack... We always have to take back the initiative on the battlefield to have a chance of winning. So Zhi stayed, and the Army Director stayed in Zhending. Chen Yongfu has experience in defending the city, and can be called a famous general in defending the city. He also stayed
Come down... Leshan, do you want to come with me?"
Everyone had walked out of the hall. The weather outside was much cooler than inside the hall, but at this time, Fang Yiren had the leisure and grace to swing the folding fan.
He shook his fan and smiled and said, "Does the master of the palace treat me as a scholar of the state, or as a domestic servant?"
Li Laiheng looked a little weird at his question and asked: "What is the difference? What are the results of each?"
"Hahaha! No matter whether it is a national soldier or a domestic servant, I will follow you through life and death!"
