The four gates of Ruichang County, Jiangxi governor, had already been closed and martial law was already on the verge of martial law. A few days later, Zhu Heng led his men out of the city to welcome an important figure. Only then did people know that Zhang Ning was coming. In order to prevent the detailed work, Zhu Heng did not make any public news about King Xiang.
After Zhang Ning's carriage entered the city from the west gate and followed the main road to the temporary camp office in Yongding Camp, the rest of the army heard the news.
Most of the soldiers from each army and the post were stationed near the camp, and some soldiers who were not on duty in the city defense went out to the camp to watch. Later, the generals simply took their soldiers to the near the gate of the central army to see what was going on.
Of course, the news was not fake. Two guards opened the door behind the carriage. Zhang Ning, dressed in military uniform, bent down slowly from the carriage, and a guard hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
The guard of honor in front of the battalion reorganized the military appearance and raised his arms neatly to salute; Zhang Ning pushed away the guards who were holding him beside him, and also held the unique military salute of the Vermilion Bird Army.
Seeing that there were many soldiers behind him, he waved his hands around him a few times.
Seeing this, the army was depressed after the defeat, and seemed to have suddenly ignited hope, and they shouted, "King Xiang, King Xiang..., and the atmosphere suddenly became warm."
Zhu Heng and others next to him knew very well that Zhang Ning's prestige in the army was incomparable to him, the chief general of Yongding Camp, Wei Bin and other military generals were not as good as those of him.
Zhang Ning was unable to walk like this, and he had to sit in the wheelchair prepared for him again and the guard pushed it towards the gate.
At this moment, a big man with bare arms tied behind his back walked towards him. Zhang Ning turned around and saw that it was Zhang Chengzong, the current commander of the Third Army of Yongding Camp. The one who reported that the defeat was Zhang Chengzong's troops.
Zhang Chengzong was really a veteran who followed Zhang Ning's rebellion. At that time, more than 100 people attacked the county town of Huguang, and Zhang Chengzong was one of the military generals.
Seeing that he was tied up, Zhang Ning already understood that he seemed to be carrying a thorn to apologize.
As expected, after Zhang Chengzong came over, he knelt down on the hard brick floor, and the sound was like a loud bell: Zhang Chengzong, the defeated general, failed to command, caused countless soldiers of the Third Army to be killed and injured, and asked the prince to execute him to apologize!
Zhang Ning remained calm and knew Zhang Chengzong's merits and demerits in his heart. In the battle of Xinkaikouji, his command was not very clever, but from the report, he did not have a low-level mistake of neglecting his duties...
I really don't want to kill him.
A veteran like this who has followed his left and right from the beginning, unless he sits in the wrong position and makes a betrayal mistake, Zhang Ning will definitely leave him a way out.
Next to him were several other generals of Yongding Battalion. In addition to commander Wei Bin, there were Wu Liangxiang, commander of the First Army and He Gong, commander of the Second Army. They were not very familiar. These people used to be able to manage dozens of low-level officers. Later, because the military rules were rapidly expanded, they had to promote some reliable people...
I'm afraid that only one of the strengths is reliable, but it is probably not very good to talk about military talents.
Not to mention the invisible talent, even if you look, you can't compare with Zhang Chengzong. The man named He Gong is very thin; the other one, Wu Liangxiang, has a dissymmetrical face and a bad appearance, but his figure is burly, but his belly is erect, and his strong image is just piled up with flesh.
Looking back at the shirtless Zhang Chengzong kneeling in front of him, his strong chest muscles without clothes were yellow and bright, and the lines of several abdominal muscles on his abdomen were clear. This is a great man.
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, saying things like victory or defeat were unspeakable. He even doubted how those generals who said this sentence were self-satisfied. After the defeat, so many people died and shed so much blood, could he easily leave such a sentence?
He thought for a while and said: It is ominous to kill a general in the face of battle, and the war is important now, so there is no time to interrogate your right or wrong.Let’s go first, and you will continue to lead the remaining troops of the Third Army for the time being. After we return to Wuchang, the Senate will be interrogated and convicted.
Zhang Chengzong knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time, looking ashamed.Zhang Ning no longer cared about him and asked the guards to push the wheelchair and enter the gate with Zhu Heng and Weibin.
Zhu Heng roughly talked about the war again. A few days ago, because a unit of the Shenji Camp was protruding on the left wing, he wanted to send troops to confront and test it, but he didn't expect to ruin most of the entire Third Army.
In the current situation, after the Shenji Camp won the first battle, our army retreated to Ruichang County, but the official army did not force it into the city, and there was no sign of preparing to attack the city.The official army is now stationed here... Zhu Heng pointed at the approximate location on the picture.
Zhang Ning nodded: If the official army wants to take the initiative to attack the city, it will not be delayed until now.
Zhu Hengdao: Their strategic goal should be to occupy a stronghold on the south bank of the Yangtze River and find a foothold for the subsequent main forces of the Beijing camp.Judging from the calmness of this official army today, the Beijing camp cannot be ignored. We were really a bit underestimated by the enemy before.Based on this, I speculate on the intention of the court. The vanguard Shenji Camp seized the weak opportunity of Jiujiang Prefecture, and made light troops to advance to Jiangnan, stabilized their positions without greed for merit; and then won time for the arrival of the subsequent army.
The latest report, where is the main force of the Beijing Camp?Zhang Ning asked.
There are no signs of Jingying near Hutou Pass and Pinghu Pass. Jingying should have not crossed Dabie Mountains yet... If their marching route is still moving south from Henan.
Zhu Heng pondered, apart from this road, moving west from the Jianghuai River requires crossing mountains and ridges, which is not conducive to the army's walking, so I believe that the Jingying has not yet crossed the mountains.
Zhang Ning asked again: How many people are there in the Shenji Camp who are monitoring our army outside Ruichang City?
Zhu Heng replied: There are supplies for troops stationed in the north of the Yangtze River. We found that the number of Shenji Camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River was about 20,000; however, the reinforcements of the Han Wangjun retreated to the mouth of the lake in the outside of Jiujiang City. The navy did not pick them up and was forced to stay in the west of Poyang Lake. This army has a large number of people, which is dangerous to the size of Jiujiang City. Shenji Camp must have left-behind troops in Jiujiang City... Inferred from this, the danger of our camp should be around 15,000, or at most no more than 20,000.
Many information is inferred by sporadic intelligence, and there is no precise intelligence at all. Now, even the names and origins of several people in power in the enemy army are not fully found out.
Zhang Ning felt that ancient people really did not pay enough attention to intelligence agencies.
After a while, Zhang Chengzong also came in.Zhang Ning asked him in person about the weapons and equipment and tactical details of the Shenji Camp.
Zhang Chengzong said: The official army is well-trained and skilled in using firearms. The muskets they use are larger than ours and need to be supported by a bracket, but the range is also longer.The two armies advanced against each other, and within a hundred steps, the official army began to fire volleys.By the time we entered the first round of effective range launch, we had been hit by two rounds of firearms, which was very passive and unfavorable... Prince, ask about artillery?In terms of heavy artillery bombardment, the official army's artillery is much worse than ours. They used a newly-made heavy artillery called the "Tiger Squat Cannon". The range is more than one mile and the live ammunition is ejected, but the accuracy and kill range are not very good...
...However, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are fearless and brave, and they are definitely the strongest opponents our Suzaku Army has encountered so far.The Third Army fought to the death and suffered heavy casualties. This defeat was not because the soldiers were greedy for life and feared death.
After hearing the descriptions of the crowd, Zhang Ning said seriously: Where did the main force of the Beijing camp go? The only thing we know is that the situation is that it may not have passed Dabie Mountain.The situation is already extremely dangerous. We cannot allow the Shenji Camp to stand in Jiangnan like a nail, and must be annihilated and removed as soon as possible.Now ordering the troops to rest for a while, they are ready to go out and fight to the death with the Shenji Camp.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and Zhu Heng couldn't help but say: If there is a little mistake in Yongding Camp, half of the prefectures in Wuchang and Yuezhou will be powerless to resist. The prince must observe.
Zhang Ning pretended to be calm and said: Zhu Butang was still afraid that he would not win. If he really couldn't win, he would have nothing to say... We were determined to "overthrow the tyranny", so we would have to win military victory. If there was no way to fight the imperial army on the battlefield, there would be nothing we could do.That's why I want to play this game, and I have no choice whether I can win or not.
After hearing this, Wei Bin couldn't help but nodded slightly, and some people agreed with Zhang Ning's idea.
Zhu Heng asked again: The prince is confident, isn’t he already having a good plan for victory?
It is a good idea to kill the enemy and survive. What else can I do?Zhang Ning blurted out.After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but smile, and even Zhang Chengzong couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Ning reached out and patted Zhu Heng's arm. Don't worry, you should understand, who created the war with guns and cannons as the main weapon?The superiors of the court learned to make a clamp, but we should teach them another lesson.Tonight we summoned all the above generals to the battalion office. Let’s arrange tactics for the Shenji Battalion’s operations.
The morale of the Yongding Camp was depressed after its defeat, but the confidence that Zhang Ning deliberately showed after his arrival undoubtedly greatly inspired people.
The Vermilion Bird Army was established by Zhang Ning from scratch. He is very influential in the army, so a person's performance is often very important.
After two or three consecutive days, the generals gathered together for several times to discuss the matter, and everyone had once again established confidence in defeating their opponents.
A remark soon circulated in the army that the King of Hunan had never been defeated in the war, and the precedent of winning with fewer and more is vivid in my mind, and this time is no exception.
However, Zhang Ning himself knew in his heart that there were so many people involved in the war and the factors were complicated, so it was difficult to be an ever-winning general, and no one could guarantee the result.
If you can't bear the consequences of defeat this time, which war in the past can afford to bear the failure?
The fear could not be eliminated at any time, but at this time, Zhang Ning felt that he seemed to be more calm, for some reason.
Soon the Central Military Barracks Bureau issued a military order to fight. After the martial law, the small Ruichang County became noisy again and the army was about to be dispatched.
After Zhang Ning's carriage entered the city from the west gate and followed the main road to the temporary camp office in Yongding Camp, the rest of the army heard the news.
Most of the soldiers from each army and the post were stationed near the camp, and some soldiers who were not on duty in the city defense went out to the camp to watch. Later, the generals simply took their soldiers to the near the gate of the central army to see what was going on.
