In order to obtain this set of tactics, He Tong even wanted to use military tactics several times to force Zheng Kai to reveal the secrets.
But Zheng Kai didn't take this seriously at all. He and He Tong belonged to different families, and now He Tong had no way to deal with him.
After He Tong could not get the answer he wanted from Zheng Kai, he could only start to carefully observe Zheng Kai's method of leading the team, hoping to find out the secrets.
But after two days of observation, nothing special was found. The only difference was that the soldiers led by Zheng Kai were very obedient and could be said to obey orders and prohibitions.
In this way, everyone marched together for two days, and Zheng Kai gave He Tong a great shock. On the third day, they finally entered the area of Kaiping Town.
Zheng Kai dispatched cavalry thirty miles away from Kaiping Town, and quickly reported the situation to Jia Ke.
At noon, He Tong ordered the troops to bury pots and make rice. They had lunch and rested for a while before marching forward again.
After walking forward for another ten miles, suddenly the scout horse he sent came back in a panic and reported, "Your Majesty, there is a large army lined up three miles ahead. Please make your decision."
He Tong, you are shocked to hear that this is still within the borders of your own country, and you have discovered a large number of enemy troops. He was about to order the troops to line up to meet the enemy.
Zheng Kai hurried over and said: "Sir, wait a minute, I think the team in front should be led by my family to greet you."
He Tong asked him with a solemn face: "Are you sure? If you know that you have made a mistake, you will have to engage in military law."
Zheng Kai replied: "The cavalry I just sent went to Kaiping Town to report to your Excellency. According to the time, he should be the one leading the team to greet the commander."
He Tong frowned and thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better to be cautious, so he ordered the entire army to form an array. At the same time, he ordered Zheng Kai to lead the cavalry to investigate.
So the two troops formed formations three miles apart. Zheng Kai quickly came to the front with his cavalry. What he saw were two thousand men and horses, standing there like nails, with a majestic formation and murderous intent. They were riding horses in front of them.
It's Jia Ke.
Zheng Kai led his troops and flew to Jia Ke on Pegasus. He loudly reported to Jia Ke: "Your Excellency, the Jiedushi Master has sent the commander He Tong with eight thousand troops, and they are already three miles away."
Jia Ke asked strangely: "Since it's been three years, why don't you move forward?"
"Your Majesty, Commander He Tong sent out a scouting horse to find you lining up here. He thought it was an enemy ambush again, so he didn't dare to move forward. He lined up three miles away and ordered me to lead a team to investigate." Zheng Kai replied.
Jia Ke laughed after hearing what he said, raised his riding whip, pointed forward and said, "Since Commander He doesn't dare to come, let's go forward to greet him."
The purpose of Jia Ke's doing this is to shock these new soldiers, let them know what elite soldiers are, what they will become in the future, and have less trouble in future training. The second is to let the soldiers from Xuanfu Town
The leading general knew that his military exploits, Jia Ke's, were not in vain. They were achieved with one blow and one shot.
After receiving the order for the troops to line up and move forward, the military formation changed and moved forward. Two thousand people lined up as tightly as one person. The team kept advancing, but there was no trace of confusion. The front, back, left, and right were like straight lines, and the spears, bows and crossbows did not waver.
Jia Ke was very proud to see that this was an army he had trained with his own hands. He couldn't help but get excited and shouted below: "Soldiers, sing the song to persuade the army again."
This military song was changed by Jia Ke from the Beiyang Military Song, mainly because this military song is more in line with the characteristics of this era, and it is also very powerful when sung, which can effectively improve morale and form his own style.
What sets his troops apart from others.
As soon as Jia Ke finished ordering all the soldiers, they sang together: You should be filial to your son, and loyal to your ministers. The imperial court taxes and taxes to support the army, and it does not hesitate to pay a lot of money to support the army. Each soldier is fed and clothed dozens of taels, and the salary of a sixth-grade official is average.
Same. If you continue to fail to contribute to the country, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will not tolerate it. Since ancient times, there have been many generals and ministers in the army, so don't look down on yourself as a soldier. First, you must learn to practice hard, and learn the skills to make meritorious service. Armor is your body protection, and it must be scrubbed clean frequently.
Second, if you are really brave in fighting, your life will be saved if you deserve it; if you shrink back and follow military orders, you will get a bad reputation. Third, you must be kind to the people, and all your food and salary will depend on them; as long as the soldiers and civilians are one family, the common people will succeed in helping each other. Fourth, you must not be humiliated.
Among women, which one is not born from parents?
With the high-pitched singing and the neat steps of the troops, the momentum of Mount Lu was overwhelming and they rushed forward.
He Tong led eight thousand troops and lined up three miles away. At first, there was no movement. Just in the distance, he saw a black line on the horizon, slowly moving forward. After a while, a high-pitched singing sound came.
As the team got closer, He Tong could see more and more clearly. This black line was the army advancing in neat rows. This army was singing high-pitched songs as it moved forward.
This troop was small in number, only about 2,000 people, but its momentum was extraordinary. It moved forward while singing, but there was no trace of disorder in its steps. All the weapons were at the same angle, and everyone wore uniform armor.
And right in front of this army, there was a man wearing a golden crown and golden armor, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, and a red charcoal fire dragon colt under his crotch. The armor he wore radiated countless rays of light under the sun.
The light shines so brightly that people can't even open their eyes, making them feel like gods.
The 8,000 men and horses led by He Tong, who had only just undergone training, could only hold out for a short while against the 2,000 Kaiping soldiers who were advancing, before a commotion broke out.
He Tong knew that this was Jia Ke and wanted to give him a blow, so he tried his best to suppress it, but it had no effect at all.
Fortunately, Jia Ke stopped a stone's throw away from them. At this stop, the military formation seemed to have never moved, and all the soldiers seemed to have turned into wooden figures.
Jia Ke rode forward on a Pegasus alone. He saw a general wearing iron armor in front of him. He thought it must be He Tong. So he rode up to He Tong's horse, raised his hands and saluted, and said: "Could this be Commander He?"
It makes sense for young general Jia Ke to guard Kaiping Town."
He Tong looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old young general in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little jealous. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was still practicing martial arts and learning military strategies at home. But the young man in front of him had already become a leader and commanded ten thousand troops.
's general.
But he is not a fool. When he looked at Jia Ke just now, he didn't look at anything else. He only looked at the weapons in Jia Ke's hands. The Fangtian Painted Halberd alone probably weighed one hundred twenty or thirty kilograms. Who can use such a weapon?
There have only been two or three people in the past and present. It seems that this Jia Ke is not in vain, he must be a fierce general on the battlefield.
When He Tong was thinking, he came to his senses when he heard Jia Ke's greetings to him. He quickly clasped his fists on his horse and said politely: "I am He Tong. This time, I am leading the troops to Kaiping on the orders of the Jiedushi.
Town, I didn’t expect to see General Jia here. I heard about General Jia’s name in Xuanfu Town, and when I saw him today, it was indeed well-deserved.”
When Jia Ke heard that he spoke politely, he also smiled and complimented him: "I was lucky enough to make some achievements at a young age. I only relied on the emperor's power and the blessing of my ancestors. How could I have been like Mr. He for decades?"
Fighting on the battlefield, the merit is real."
He Tong originally thought that Jia Ke would become famous at a young age and would be domineering. Today, when he met him, he realized what it means to be young and mature. Not only did Jia Ke speak and speak like a spring breeze, he also had no trace of pride. Only such a person can become a master.
.
He Tong responded to Jia Ke's praise and said humbly: "General Jia is over-praising me. I only have some minor achievements. Compared with the general's two major defeats of the Tatars, it is nothing at all."
