About two miles away from the south gate of Yongning City, Zhang Cheng stood upright on a high platform in a brand-new military uniform. Under the stage, the flags of generals, Qianzongqi, Baizongqi, and Baizongqi were in harmony. There were bursts of "tiger" roars, and the sound was even louder. Smell miles away.
Zhang Cheng ignored Liu Yongzhao, who was full of resentment. He stood on the high platform and raised his right arm again. In an instant, the roar of "tiger" stopped, and the whole place was silent again.
He took another step forward and shouted loudly: "Commanders and soldiers, listen up. Since you are under my command, you should know that it is only natural for soldiers to eat food." However, this soldier's food is not free. I ate it. If you have food, you must follow me into battle to kill the enemy. If you make mistakes, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded."
When Zhang Cheng said this, he glanced at the military formations and then shouted: "The slave establishment is rampant. The last time they invaded our capital, although they were driven back, they could not be severely damaged. Now they have invaded Liaodong and besieged Jinzhou.
Although the land of Liaodong is far away from our Xuanzhen, if the Liaodong army is defeated, the slaves will be more unscrupulous, and will soon invade our capital and our Xuanzhen.
Your family, home, land, parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children are all in Xuan Town. You think you can allow the slaves to come and occupy our land in Xuan Town, seize your family property, and humiliate your wives, sisters, wives and children? ? "
"Can't...can't...can't..."
After roaring, Zhang Cheng shouted loudly again: "I am leading you and others to fight in Liaodong, not only to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, but also to protect our Xuanzang Town.
Now more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the eight major armies have been assembled in Liaodong. As long as Jian Nu is beaten to pain or even maimed this time, he will not dare to come to rob our doorstep again in the future. "
Zhang Cheng stopped again at this time, took another step forward, came to the edge of the high platform, and shouted loudly: "I have always regarded you and other soldiers as my brothers.
If one of you is wronged, it is the commander's incompetence. If one of you is wronged, it is the commander's weakness. If you are going to be in danger, you should go first. If you are going to suffer, you should also suffer.
Now that we are going to battle in Liaodong, you must remember, 'If you win, you will toast together to celebrate, if you lose, you will risk your life to save each other.' If you don't save your comrades, how can you expect your comrades to save you?
On the battlefield, the 'brave man wins', only by adhering to the belief of 'never abandoning, never giving up', all armies coordinate, advance and retreat together, 'defend like a mountain' and never retreat until death; 'attack like fire' move forward indomitably.
Anyone who is timid and refuses to go forward will be killed without mercy. When he returns to the army after victory, all the officers and soldiers in the army will be rewarded, and those who have made military achievements should be rewarded heavily! "
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
The various general flags in front of the army formations rose in response to the sound again, and then the thousands of general flags, general flags, etc. echoed each other, and the roar of "tiger" sounded again.
As the Chinese army's signal flag was raised high, the troops immediately became quiet, and then the sound of "tong" from the trumpet was heard, and the "dong dong dong" of the war drum was sounded for the first time.
Zhang Guodong, the commander of Chicheng Battalion and guerrilla general, got on his horse and walked slowly towards the high platform. Behind him was a tall and powerful flag player who followed on foot holding his general flag high.
At this time, Chen Zheng, the guerrilla general and commander of the Dushi Camp, and Li Jiyu, the guerrilla general and commander of the Dengfeng Camp, also urged their horses to march slowly towards the high platform. Behind them was also a strong sergeant holding the flag high to follow.
As the signal flags on the high platform continued to change flag orders, Zhang Guangda, the commander of the cavalry camp and guerrilla general, and Wei Zhice, the commander of the chariot camp and guerrilla general, also urged their horses to move forward, followed by strong sergeants raising their flags.
The five generals rode their horses and stopped in front of the high platform. The drums also stopped at this time. They turned over and dismounted, looked up at Zhang Cheng under the high platform and shouted loudly: "General, come and listen to the order!"
At the same time, five strong flag bearers held the big flag on the high platform, stood upright behind Zhang Cheng, and raised the flag high into the wind with five poles, making a hunting sound!
After Zhang Cheng scanned them one by one, he shouted loudly: "Where is Zhang Guodong?"
"The end will be here."
"I have ordered you to be the commander-in-chief of the former camp, to accompany the army in the battle in Liaodong and to wipe out the Tartars!"
"Here."
Zhang Guodong received the order loudly, strode up the high platform from the side, came to stand in front of Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng turned around and took the flag of the front camp from the strong sergeant. The flag was red with a blue border and a yellow ribbon. He held the flag of the front camp and handed it to Zhang Guodong and shouted: "Zhang Guodong, the flag is here." The general will be here, but the flag will fall and the general will perish!"
Zhang Guodong took the general's flag with a solemn expression and shouted loudly: "Please don't worry, Commander, if the flag is up, the general will be there, but if the flag falls, the general will perish!"
Then, Chen Zheng, Li Jiyu, Zhang Guangda, and Wei Zhice marched onto the stage as ordered and took over their general flags. Each of them repeated the sentence: "If the flag is up, the general will be there, but if the flag falls, the general will perish!"
Zhang Cheng's campaign in Liaodong sent a total of five battalions, namely the front camp Zhang Guodong, the left camp Chen Zheng, the right camp Li Jiyu, and the rear camp Wei Zhice. Zhang Guangda was the general of the middle camp, together with Zhang Cheng's Chinese army and Huwei. Together they form a central camp.
The colors of the flags of each camp are except for the front camp. The flag of the left camp is blue with a black border; the flag of the right camp is white with a yellow border; the flag of the rear camp is black with a white border; the flag of the middle camp is yellow with a red border. On the side, the flags of each camp commander are equipped with yellow ribbons.
After the flag presentation, the five generals also handed their battalion flags to the flag bearers behind them. They stood upright behind Zhang Cheng and heard him shout loudly again: "Where are Zhang Guodong, Chen Zheng, and Li Jiyu?"
The three generals each took a step forward and shouted in unison: "The last general is here."
"I ordered the front camp, the left camp, and the right camp to combine into the front army. With Zhang Guodong as the chief general of the front army, Chen Zheng and Li Jiyu as the deputy generals of the front army, I immediately organized the army and set off to Liaodong to help relieve the siege of Jinzhou."
"Here!"
After the three of them received the order in unison, they turned around and got off the high platform, and each rushed to where the officers and soldiers of the camp were arrayed.
Zhang Cheng stood on the high platform and turned around and said: "Wei Zhice, your chariot camp and the left and right troops under my commander's camp are combined into the central army. You will serve as the commander-in-chief and escort the army's grain, grass, medicine and other military supplies to our camp." The camp will start setting off on the fifth day of the lunar month."
"Here!"
"Zhang Guangda, your cavalry battalion and the Tiger Guard will form the rear army. When my commander's affairs are over, you will choose an opportunity to follow me to Liaodong."
"Here!"
…………
"Tum...Tum...Tum..." followed by three cannon blasts.
"Dong...dong...dong..." the war drum also beat again.
The letter flag was raised high on the high platform, and then tapped on the ground, back and forth three times.
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
With the signal flag at three o'clock, the soldiers of the third battalion roared "tiger" three times, then stepped on the drums and set off with high spirits.
First, Zhang Guodong took the lead, and the generals of the front camp advanced slowly behind him, followed by the 150 elite cavalry guards of the Chinese army, then the officers and soldiers of the left, middle and right divisions of his battalion, and finally there were The chariot commander led ten side-chariots and three large baggage vehicles, followed closely by the coachmen, bargemen and gunners.
Chen Zheng from the left camp also led the officers and soldiers from the camp to line up. They followed closely behind the front camp and advanced in order. Finally, the officers and soldiers from the right camp Li Jiyu advanced in formation.
Zhang Cheng stood upright on the high platform and watched all this. He suddenly pulled out the imperial sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!" All the soldiers shouted in unison.
He shouted loudly again: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
All the troops responded: "Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"
After Wan Sheng's roar, Zhang Guodong took the lead in singing: "If ten thousand people are of one mind, Mount Tai can be shaken..."
Then thousands of people sang in unison:
“If ten thousand people are of one mind, Mount Tai can be shaken, but only loyalty and righteousness can lead to a bullfight.
The general will kiss me like a parent, but if I violate the military law, I will not be free.
The orders are clear and the rewards and punishments are given. If you go to water or fire, you dare not stay late.
Report to the emperor that he will go down to rescue the head of Guizhou and kill all the Tatars to find a marquis. "
