"Of course, my lord."
Deng Jili and Qian Xijin answered Wu Sanshui's question in unison. Deng Jili even patted his chest and said to Wu Sanshui: "Don't worry, sir. As long as that group of rebels dare to come, today next year will be their death anniversary."
After hearing the suggestions from his two generals, Wu Sanshui suddenly felt inexplicably confident.
Wu Sanshui, who originally just wanted to eat and wait until death, has now become an ambitious person.
The rebel who was able to defeat a first-grade general with more than 8,000 troops was actually defeated by himself, who also only had 8,000 green soldiers. What kind of talent and achievement is this?
Isn't it true that I won't be able to become an admiral when the time comes?
"Haha..." Wu Sanshui laughed while imagining, and then said: "Okay, according to the wishes of the two generals, we will attack. Can I, the Qing warrior, be frightened by the little rebels? When this battle is won, I will definitely report to the imperial court and give the two generals promotions."
"I have more subordinates, Lord Commander."
After hearing this, Deng Jili and Qian Xijin quickly knelt on the ground and thanked Wu Sanshui.
Guangdong is now mostly peaceful. If there were no big rebels, it would be almost impossible to advance from the rank of general to commander-in-chief.
When hearing Wu Sanshui's words, Deng Jili and Qian Xijin couldn't help but thank Zhang Rui. If it hadn't been for his rebellion and his strength was still so weak, he and others might not have had a chance to go further.
"Then please ask the two generals to work harder during the war and try to defeat that group of rebels. Clean out for me these traitors who dare to cause trouble and do not care about life and death." Wu Sanshui looked at his two overjoyed men and encouraged him again.
"Don't worry, sir. We will fight with our lives to prevent the rebels from coming back." Qian Xijin looked determined, as if he was at odds with Zhang Rui and others.
"Sir, my martial arts skills have never fallen behind. I think my Deng family's sword skills are amazing, and my arrow skills are even more powerful. No matter how many rebel thieves come here, they are always giving food to me. I can't help but kill them." Deng Jili also looked disdainful. The appearance of Zhang Rui and others.
"Okay, with the determination of the two generals, why worry about the rebels not being wiped out?" Listening to the words of Deng Jili and Qian Xijin, Wu Sanshui no longer had any scruples at this time. He only wanted to capture Zhang Rui's How to claim credit from the court after beheading someone?
"I give the order. Gather the troops immediately and prepare for battle." Wu Sanshui said with excitement to Deng Jili and Qian Xijin who were kneeling on the ground. At the same time, he also ordered the flag officer to sound the drum to gather the sergeants.
"Yes... Your Excellency. Your Excellency trusts us so much. We should fight bravely to kill the enemy and die in retribution." Deng Jili and Qian Xijin expressed their opinions one after another.
"Okay, two generals, get up quickly. Come with me to kill the rebels and clear them out for me." Wu Sanshui said with joy on his face.
"Yes, sir." After saying that, the two of them kowtowed to Wu Sanshui, then climbed up from the ground and followed Wu Sanshui.
…
"Brother Six, we found Tatar soldiers gathering three miles ahead and coming." A scout came back and reported.
"Okay, is there an open space in front suitable for fighting?" Zhang Rui looked at the sun in the sky and asked the scout.
There is not much time left before the sun sets in the west. In order not to waste any more time, Zhang Rui had to ask for a quick decision. In case he and others were dragged here late at night, the camp behind would be in danger.
"Yes, Brother Six. After climbing over the two mountains in front, there is a flat and open space in front of us. We can wait there for the Tatar soldiers to start fighting." The scout replied
"Well, I get it. You've worked hard, please step back first!" Zhang Rui said
"Okay, Sixth Brother." With that said, the scout gave Zhang Rui a military salute and left.
Since the regiment and battalion commanders have to go back to their respective teams to take care of the soldiers, especially in the current situation. When the armies were organizing and guiding the newly surrendered troops from the captives, the regiment and battalion commanders did not open their ranks.
Originally, there were only two staff officers accompanying Zhang Rui this time. But for the safety of the rear camp's food and grass, Zhang Rui could only leave them behind to make suggestions. So at this moment, there is no one around Zhang Rui who can discuss with him.
"Taiping, pass the order down. The team will repair after climbing over the two mountains in front and wait for the Qing army to come and start the battle." Zhang Rui gave the order to Chen Taiping beside him.
"Yes, Sixth Brother."
After Chen Taiping paid a military salute to Zhang Rui, he immediately left to give Zhang Rui's orders to the messenger who was following him.
Looking at the sergeants of the bandit suppression army walking neatly all over the mountains and plains, Zhang Rui felt a little proud at the moment. He began to feel that he could relate to the poem written by the great ancestor of the year: "Ask the vast earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs?"
This feeling cannot be understood by sitting in a bright classroom and reading aloud. You can’t understand it just by looking at the sunrise and sunset, and the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers. It takes a life-and-death struggle to reach a certain height before you can reluctantly understand the difficulty and pride.
Under the leadership of leaders at all levels, especially singing discipline songs, military songs, etc. all the way, the bandit suppression troops quickly arrived at the clearing mentioned by the scouts.
After Zhang Rui arrived and took a short rest, Qing army scouts appeared on the opposite mountain.
Not long after, the Qing army officially appeared.
Both sides seemed to be interested in a fight, so there was no delay.
Anyone who has fought knows that there must be a short rest before the war, but the Qing army just arrived and lined up to fight.
The land is open enough, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate so many people from both sides fighting.
I saw that Zhang Rui was still arranging the musketeers in front, and the musketeers were protected by the pikemen. The newly defected Green Camp soldiers were placed on the other side of the Musketeers.
In the recess between the square formations on both sides were two hundred cavalry. Behind the cavalry was Zhang Rui's central army. Zhang Rui was protected by Zhang Rui's personal soldiers and scouts.
Although Zhang Rui disrupted the newly recruited Green Camp soldiers and then joined the bandit-suppressing army to lead them, he still needed to be wary of opportunistic people.
So Zhang Rui asked the cavalry to protect his musketeers in case the green battalion soldiers came to attack him and suppress the bandits in the event of headwinds.
"Sir, are those Green Camp soldiers across from me the Qing Dynasty?" Deng Jili, who was next to Wu Sanshui, asked him.
Wu Sanshui looked at what Deng Jili was pointing at and saw that indeed, green soldiers actually appeared in this group of rebels.
"They are indeed Green Camp soldiers. What's going on? Are the rebels taking prisoners to fight with us?" Wu Sanshui asked incomprehensively. This is too outrageous! No one with any ideas would do this.
"It doesn't look like it. They seem to be holding weapons." Qian Xijin followed.
"It's true. Could it be that the Green Camp soldiers in Guangzhou followed the rebels and rebelled?" Wu Sanshui asked worriedly.
