Niu Hulu and Fu Sen's voice fell, and the generals who sat down were quiet again.
War is certain, and those who give up under such circumstances must have something wrong with their brains. Moreover, if you retreat, where can you retreat to?
Thinking about it, the Jiangnan bandit suppression camp has been driven back by the rebels from Nanjing to Xuzhou since its establishment. Where will it end if it continues to retreat? Do you have to retreat to the capital?
Therefore, no one dares to say retreat. No matter how unwilling they are, they have to fight, and they must not reveal any thoughts of not fighting. Otherwise, they might be dragged out and chopped down to scare the monkeys.
Moreover, everything was just as Zhang Jia Agui said. The plain area where the bandits entered was dominated by cavalry. Hasn’t the imperial court been preaching that the Eight Banners cavalry is invincible in the world?
It just so happened that the thieves had to see the details of the Qing Empire.
Therefore, the generals of the Green Camp had no objection to the words of war. Anyway, the main force is the frontier cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and it is not our own troops leading the battle, so what reason is there not to support it?
And it just allows them to experience the power of the bandit army, so that they don't have to laugh at themselves all the time.
As for the frontier cavalry generals brought by Niu Hulu and Fu Sen, they did not have many objections. After all, they have their own pride, and they must let those thieves understand what the pillars of the Qing Empire are. Otherwise, where is the majesty of our Qing Empire? Otherwise, I, a descendant of the Eight Banners, will become a joke?
Seeing that no one said anything, Niu Hulu Fu Sen named a few more generals and concluded that they were all the opinions of Zhang Jia A Gui.
"Okay, since everyone is full of confidence and agree to fight, why should we not fight? Our army is ready. In this battle, we will fight to the death with the thieves, whether there is me or not, in order to repay The emperor's grace is so great." Niu Hulu Fu Sen no longer hesitated and knelt down to the north and shouted.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
Upon seeing this, all the generals knelt down and worshiped along with Niu Hulu and Fu Sen.
After the ceremony, Niu Hulu and Fu Sen said to the generals below: "Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zhang Wuxiu..."
"General, return to Zhennan, the last general will be..." At this time, the rough-looking Zhang Wuxiu came out and responded.
"Henan General Soldier Meng Yitong..."
"Return to Zhennan General, the last general will be..." Meng Yiyi also came out and replied.
"Now, I am ordering you two to lead your Green Battalion troops to the east to intercept the bandits' Eastern Route Army. Do you have any objections?" Niu Hulu Fu Sen said.
"Go back to Zhennan General, I will have no objections..."
"The general has no objections..."
I saw Zhang Wuxiu and Meng Yiyi clasping their fists and replying.
"Okay, this is the general of our Qing Kingdom." Niu Hulu Fu Sen nodded with satisfaction.
Don't look at Niu Hulu. Fu Sen is very satisfied with the two of them now, but if the two of them dare to have any objections, the reputation of fear of fighting will probably fall on them.
You must know that Zhang Wuxiu brought more than 5,000 direct troops. With the green battalion soldiers drawn from various places to give him, his current strength is more than 10,000. Meng Yiyi's soldiers were equally comparable to Zhang Wuxiu's, with a combined strength of nearly 30,000.
In the eyes of those who know the military, even though the bandit army can be called hundreds of thousands at every turn, it is all used to scare the ignorant people.
Not to mention that the bandit army does not have that many people, even if it does exist, the combat strength is only those 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the rest are just some ant people who came with them.
No matter how many of these ant residents there are, they are just for the sake of killing people, and there is no fighting ability at all. Therefore, the number of thieves is not a concern.
"Borjik Mamutun, you lead a thousand yellow-flag-mounted vests and three thousand green cavalry to patrol the rebel East Route Army. You must assist Zhang Wuxiu and Meng to block the advance of the East Route rebels. Is there any way? Question?" Niu Hulu Fu Sen said to a general sitting down with a yellow flag.
"If you return to Zhennan General, your slave will definitely not be allowed to do his job." Bolzik Mamudun was summoned and quickly stepped out of the queue, replying with a heroic look.
"Okay." Niu Hulu Fu Sen laughed in approval.
"In this case, all the remaining horses will go with me to encircle and suppress the rebel Southwest Route Army. When the rebel army is defeated, I will go to the court on your behalf and ask the emperor to grant you officers and titles."
"I am willing to serve the imperial court and die for the emperor..."
The generals knelt down and shouted again.
"Fifth Brother, Master Fu Heng, I wonder what you think of my arrangement? Do you have anything to add?" After the ceremony, Niu Hulu Fu Sen turned to the two people beside him and asked.
"The general's arrangements are very good. I have nothing to add." Fucha Fu Heng replied.
"When I came, Khan Ama told me that I should listen more, read more and talk less. I really don't have anything to add to General Zhennan's arrangements." Aixinjueluo Yongqi said.
"Okay, let's make specific arrangements for the battle with the rebel Southwest Route Army..." Niu Hulu Fu Sen nodded and said.
…
"Report... urgent report from Xiangcheng..." At this time, a battle report came from outside the door.
"Pass it in..." Niu Hulu Fu Sen called.
"嗻…"
a moment later
A messenger soldier quickly ran from outside the door to Niu Hulu Fu Sen, knelt down and presented a letter and said: "Report, General Zhennan, this is Xiangcheng's urgent military information, please check it."
Niu Hulu Fu Sen took the military intelligence letter and looked at it for a few times. Then he was silent for a moment and asked the visitor: "Is what is said in this military intelligence letter true?"
This messenger soldier had never seen any military information letter, but it was handed to him personally by his superiors and asked him to come and ask for help.
As for Niu Hulu, Fu Sen asked if it was true. Could it be that he could write anything unreliable?
"Go back to Zhennan, General. This military intelligence letter is true. Xiangcheng is now besieged by an army of rebels. The adults in the city took this letter and asked me to come quickly to ask for help." The messenger did not dare to say more to avoid making mistakes.
"No, I'm asking, do you know that the rebel thief Zhang Rui is also in this siege?" Niu Hulu. Fu Sen seemed to realize that he had missed the point of the question, so he had to ask again.
"General Zhennan, this is true. My master also specifically told me to tell you this when he asked me to come over." The messenger replied respectfully.
"Are you sure it's correct?" Niu Hulu Fu Sen asked excitedly.
"If you go back to General Zhennan, even if you give me ten thousand courages, I won't dare to tell any lies to General Zhennan. When the villain came over, my garrison leader repeatedly told me that I must tell General Zhennan This matter." The messenger replied confidently, fearing that Niu Hulu Fu Sen would have doubts about him.
"Okay, okay... you go down and receive the reward first!" Niu Hulu Fu Sen said with a smile on his face.
(It’s rare to update continuously, so I have the nerve to ask for votes, thank you!)
