Chapter 2 The blue thread on the road (10)
It was not only a defeat, but also a crushing defeat. Because the two thousand new troops in the front were ambushed, it was also a strategy that Siji fired the side of the side. The elephant soldiers, they used tamed elephants to lie down the hillside, and then suddenly burst out when the two thousand new troops passed by. If this was the case alone, it would be a defeat, but the two thousand new troops were really bloody, not the farm soldiers who were busy waiting to die in the garrison! Poor the firearms in their hands really had no combat power, and the battle elephant had such a large target. More than a hundred muskets were fired in the first row. Ding Yi looked at it with a telescope behind the formation and only two or three shots hit, and the hit part was not fatal. The battle elephant had thick skin and rough flesh, and he didn't care at all and was still running towards him. Someone in the new troops shouted: "Get the bayonet! Fuck him!"
So the two thousand new troops really got bayonets and rushed over the hundreds of war elephants. In the past, how could they fight with giants like war elephants with swords and other swords? Whether it was the trunk or the huge body of the elephants, it would be unreasonable. If Zhang Rui had not arrived with the infantry and cavalry, the rockets were fired in succession, and the war elephants were scared away, I was afraid that none of the two thousand new troops would survive. In front of the crowds of elephants, let alone musketeers without armor, even if they were wearing three layers of armor, it would be a word of death.
Fortunately, Zhang Rui's army was experienced in dealing with the elephant soldiers fired by Siji. It took some effort to annihilate them and stabilize their positions to protect the musketeers from retreating. There was no problem. They were divided into three batches of rockets that were launched in turn. They quickly lit the forests on the side, scaring the war elephants so much that they dared not invade forward, causing the new army to withdraw more than a thousand people. After hundreds of people fell, they could no longer come back. Just one charge was like a small earthquake, and the lives of hundreds of soldiers were killed in just one battle.
Hundreds of people died. Nearly 30% of them were seriously injured and breathless, and the new troops were pulled back. If the minor injuries were added, more than half of the casualties would be killed or injured. In this way, the new troops had not yet collapsed. Liu Tie, who was holding a notebook to count the number of people and record the names of the injured, couldn't help but whisper to Tan Feng: "It's not considered a bad soldier." The latter nodded as he heard this. This was definitely not considered a bad soldier, but considered an elite soldier.
"Who trained this new army?" Ding Yi asked Zhang Rui on the way to retreat, because the quality and foundation of these soldiers were much better than the general quality of the soldiers of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of the army in the Firearms Age, these new troops must not be opponents to the First Division of the Ming Dynasty; but in the cold weapons era, except for the mountain special brigade of Fatty Wen, the other troops in the same number of other troops faced these new troops. They were also not opponents.
Zhang Rui didn't feel anything strange when he heard Ding Yi's words. After Ding Yi was defeated, he asked who was the soldier? According to Zhang Rui's thoughts, don't the civil servants and supervisors all the same? All the mistakes of the generals of the military training. However, he and the soldiers were somewhat incest and indifferent, he hesitated before answering: "Making the platform, the governor of the Palace is already sixty years old. Can he spare his life?" Looking at Ding Yi's side face without any reaction, Zhang Rui gritted his teeth and said, "The governor of the Palace is kind to the villain, and the young are willing to lead the troops back. He dies and has no grudges. If he can kill the general and seize the flag, he will wash the dust of the platform! But I ask the governor of the Palace to pass his old age!" As he said that, he was about to pull the horse back.
Ding Yi quickly pulled his reins, but he couldn't react for a moment. He felt that these soldiers were well trained, which was not simple for the generals of this era. Moreover, the level of hand-to-hand combat of the military soldiers was also very good. In the charge of hand-to-hand, a war elephant was stabbed down, which could be said to be very powerful. You must know that it was not for people to watch in modern zoos, but for elephants specially trained to fight. People were so small in front of it. It was not a sharp weapon like a saber to use. Just relying on the bayonet stuck on the gun, this soldier was really well trained.
So I didn't expect to blame the soldier who was training? It was not until Zhang Rui said that Ding Yi understood and quickly said to him: "You misunderstood. The students thought the soldier was good, so they wanted to meet the soldier generals." Zhang Rui breathed a sigh of relief as he heard that the governor of the palace, who was somewhat incest with him, was sentenced to prison for the first year of Jingtai. Then Yang Hong and Shi Heng were protected and asked him to make meritorious contributions. When the old governor heard that he wanted to train the new army, he volunteered to ask for his orders. But the new army was completely useless. These days, the governor of the Gongju Palace was disheartened and no longer went to the camp. He simply went home and waited for the court to send someone to ask him for guilt. He was originally a person who made meritorious contributions, and the soldiers he trained were not helpful. This was a conceivable situation.
After withdrawing from the camp, Ding Yi said to Zhang Rui: "Let the palace gather here, the students have something to ask him." Of course, Ding Yi could also teach Zhang Rui to lead the way and visit the palace governor himself, but after all, he was called the supervisor of the platform, and was called the Zuodu Censor of the General Constitution. When he visited a warrior to be punished, Ding Yi didn't mind, and he didn't dare to be the palace gathering. The fingers of thousands of literati were enough to teach him that he would die in vain.
Gong Ju came very quickly. It seemed that he valued Ding Yi's orders very much. He rushed over in just about a cup of tea. His battle robe and armor were neatly worn. He got into the tent and bowed and praised him, "Mr. Gong, who is a little guilty man, please pay attention to Ding Zhijun!" Ding Yi looked at his gray hair and beard, and he was quite reluctant, so he taught him to get up and talk back and forth. Gong Ju thanked him again and then got up.
Ding Yi taught him to sit down and said that Gong Julian said he was afraid. Ding Yi shook his head: "Do you know what's wrong with this new army? If it were the generals of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty, they would not consider more things. They would do everything they could to do when their lives came! I asked you to sit down three times, and you were still standing..." Gong Ju had no choice but to sit down, and his butt was only a little bit of a chair, so he was so careful that he couldn't do it.
At this time, a personal soldier came to report: "Sir, I have the will, and my father-in-law who announced the order has been waiting outside the tent."
Ding Yi then went to receive the order, which was to recall the king, and asked Ding Yi to governor the military affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the official documents of the Ministry of War, to ask him not to lightly transfer Fang Ying's troops. Since the general Tian Feng, the people who accompanied him to receive the orders were all amazed at Ding Yisheng's favor. What if he was defeated and defeated miserably? When he came back to the camp, he had to let him governor the two provinces come down, and even the decree was not allowed to make a hurry. After the decree was announced, the official again
He leaned over with a salivating face and said, "Young Master, my grandfather gave me a special order before I left Beijing, and said to you. He also said that the sage metaphor is given to you, "If Jin has legs and feet, don't kneel down and get them. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious about the victory or defeat for a moment. I believe you. You are not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy yourself. It is easy to get a general, let alone Yu Shuai? Remember my words and keep your own body tight. You are covered in old wounds."
The generals were really full of jealousy, envy and hatred, but they also knew that this army-controlled manpower was not only in the world, but also in the emperor's mind, and they all thought to themselves that as long as Ding Yi did not ask them to die, he would never go against his will.
Ding nodded, took the imperial edict and directly sent it to Liu Tie, and said to the eunuch: "You and Zijian go to have a meeting. There is military affairs here, so don't make fun of it here." The official replied happily, and he didn't mention the angel style with Liu Tie. But the military generals were even more shocked. This eunuch is so easy to talk to? It feels like he is the servants at home!
Only Tian Feng, who had the seal of the general of the Plain Barbarians, vaguely remembered the news that Ding Yi was the emperor's brother. I think it was not fake, otherwise it would be difficult to explain how this eunuch would be like this. Only Ding Yi himself knew that the bullshit Yu's brother? This was his last memorial, and Emperor Jing thought Ding Yi was a saver, so he received this treatment.
"Tan Feng." Ding Yi shouted at Tan Feng, who immediately responded to "arrival", and then ran over, but he heard Ding Yi say to him, "Get the cavalry platoons and practice the queue subjects for the Gong Governor." Tan Feng took his order and led Gong Ju to see the exercises of the cavalry company without mentioning it.
Ding Yi asked the generals to take the tent and sat down on the main seat, but asked, "Who is responsible for the issuance of the gunpowder?"
The sage-superior soldier spoke, and soon the military officer was raised up and kowtowed to Ding Yi as soon as he came up, and said, "It's a clear record of the platform! The young man has never done anything to do. Every income and expenditure is worthy of the master of the army supervisor!" Ding Yi, the left censor is the governor, and there are eleven supervisors sent by the imperial court in Yunnan, who specializes in auditing merits and punishments.
Not only that, there is also a precedent that has been sent to the Yongle period since the Yongle period.
The military chief mentioned by this military officer refers to the military supervisor.
So Ding Yi's face turned cold: "General Tian Town, send someone to invite him. If he can't invite him, look at the officials to visit this Master Du." Tian Feng and other military generals didn't mind. The civil servant bit as much as he liked, but it seems that the military censor was in trouble. You must know that Ding Yi had the title of the Left Censor, and that was the head of the Censorate. If this censor didn't come to pay homage to Zongxian, he would be finished if he really waited for Ding Yi to visit him!
But Tian Feng sent someone to send a report to the account, and heard a hurry outside the account saying to someone: "Chief Liu, go in quickly, the Orthodox Manufacturer has just arrived to send you!" As soon as the man entered the account, Ding Yi felt extremely headache. Why did the gunpowder get damp? Why was the firearm not powerful? It turned out that this guy was here!
