Chapter 54 Change of Defense

It is recognized that Lu Xiangsheng likes field warfare, and Lu Xiangsheng has always attached great importance to cavalry and is familiar with the tactics of cavalry. Now the 7,000 cavalry under Wang Chengping are deploying defenses in the Shanhaiguan area, which can be said to be a waste of their advantages. Basically, they can't give full play to their combat effectiveness. On the contrary, they have to let many war horses idle. So he came up with the idea of replacing Wang Chengping's cavalry with this Luo Li's guard division and asked him to rush to the west to help.

Luo Li has no problem with Lu Xiangsheng's proposal. Anyway, he came here to kill the Tatans. Now the Tarot soldiers in the west don't know where they are, but there are a large number of Tatrons to kill in Shanhaiguan. Lu Xiangsheng's proposal is very in line with his appetite. If so, he can immediately lead the army to catch up. Go to Shanhaiguan and lead the army to kill the salams! What's more, what Lu Xiangsheng said is reasonable. Although his guard division also has two cavalry battalions, after all, they have been fighting in the mainland over the years. The cavalry is not as strong as Wang Chengping, and they are not as powerful as them. The strength of their guard division is to attack and defend the city. Although there is no problem with the long-distance rapid march, they can't follow Wang Cheng after all. Compared with the Ping's cavalry regiment, what's more, after he was ordered to divide the troops with Xiao Tianjian this time, in order to ensure the recent combat needs, the army brought two barracks and transported a large number of grain and ammunition materials, which also needed to ensure the safety of these materials.

Therefore, Luo Li immediately nodded and agreed: "I, Lao Luo, think what Lord Lu said makes sense. Wang Chengping's cavalry is more powerful, and it's the most appropriate to do this. Anyway, I will kill Tart wherever I go. It's okay for Lao Luo to go to Shanhaiguan to replace them. I still have two cavalry battalions under my command, so I just hand it over to him!"

Li Xin laughed secretly after hearing this. In fact, Lu Xiangsheng also thought of it. He was afraid that Luo Li would not agree. Now looking at the overall situation, Luo Li is willing to lead troops to Shanhaiguan to replace the cavalry under Wang Chengping's command. In that case, their chances of winning this time will be greater.

Xu Yixian also agreed with Lu Xiangsheng's proposal, believing that Lu Xiangsheng's opinion was reasonable and feasible, so everyone immediately unanimously approved Lu Xiangsheng's proposal and let Luo Li lead his troops to replace Wang Chengping's troops stationed in Shanhaiguan, so that the defense of Shanhaiguan was more solid. It is expected that after having Luo Li as a madman, Jiannu wanted to capture Shanhaiguan again, which was basically delusional.

So in the end, Li Xin ordered Diao Zheng to lead the second town army headquarters and immediately rushed to Xifengkou to help. In addition to the two cavalry battalions under his command, the rest of the soldiers and horses went to Shanhaiguan to take over the defense, replaced the cavalry of the first town army under Wang Chengping, and also headed west day and night. Patrol, and, according to the situation, prevent other people from building slaves from entering the customs.

However, considering that all parties need to divide troops into action, all materials need to be guaranteed, and the command also needs to be coordinated. Li Xin also transferred an infantry battalion and two barracks from the second town army and Luo Li's guard division, and turned to Yongping Mansion for central dispatch. Temporarily, before Xiao Tianjian's troops arrived, he was in Yongping Mansion. A headquarters was established, and the remaining troops were used as Li Xin's reserve.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, he was left by Li Xin and went to Yongping Mansion to command in the center with him. After thinking about this, Lu Xiangsheng could only be ordered happily. In short, these guys refused to let him go to the front line in person, and then go to pick up a big knife to kill Jiannu. Now Wu Xiang's cooperation with Yan Chongxi is quite pleasant, and Luo Li is on top. After going up, even if Wu Xiang had different intentions, he would be restrained by them. He had nothing to worry about. What's more, Xu Yixian, as the town-level chief of staff of the staff, went to the mountain customs, and he could rest assured.

So after Diao Zheng and Luo Li took orders, they immediately began to act. After just resting in Funingwei for a night, they began to lead their own troops to continue to the places they needed to go.

Li Xin led the remaining soldiers and horses and part of the baggage, leaving some materials in addition to the support of Funingwei as Shanhaiguan, and the rest of the people and horses followed his staff and Lu Xiangsheng to Yongping Mansion.

Lulong County, where Yongping Prefecture was in time and later generations, was located in Lulong County. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the most important government city east of Shuntian Prefecture, and it was known as the first government of Jingdong.

However, by this time, the governor of Yongping Mansion has already escaped. In fact, his magistrate has no power. The main power is concentrated in the hands of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Ji Liao, and there are no soldiers at hand. Each army has its own exclusive right to generals. Now there are a large army of Jiannu who wants to enter the bandit, and there is a large number of fierce middle-sized troops in the south. The people and horses were going north, and the governor of Yongping knew that the Ming Dynasty had gone, so the Jiannu army had not yet entered the pass, and the Dazhong army did not kill the city, so some time ago, he suddenly took his family to play a missing trick, abandoned the Yongping Mansion, and fled somewhere.

It was not until Xiao Tianjian calmed down Shandong that he found out that this guy ran to Jiaozhou with his family. Unfortunately, he did not escape the punishment of the Dazhong army in the end. Xiao Tianjian ordered him to arrest and kill him, and all his family property was confiscated. Even if it was not for other things, it was only abandoned when the guy went south of Jiannu. The rear of Shanhaiguan ignored it, and he didn't care about the requisition of grain and the help of the people's husband's help in the war. It was enough for him to die hundreds of times.

Therefore, when Li Xin and Lu Xiangsheng arrived at Yongping Mansion, there was no garrison in Yongping Mansion. Some deserters in the city were still in the city, so Li Xin effortlessly sent troops to control Yongping Mansion City, and immediately eliminated the deserters and ruffians who took advantage of the chaos in the city by thunderous means. He ordered them to be beheaded and killed hundreds of people in one night. He quickly restored the situation in Yongpingfu City and established a headquarters here.

After receiving the news, Wang Chengping was immediately overjoyed. He ran to bid farewell to Yan Chongxi and Wu Xiang, ordered his cavalry to withdraw from the wall of the Great Wall and the enemy tower where they were stationed, and handed it over to Luo Li's headquarters that had just arrived.

Although Wang Chengping has killed the saroons these days, after all, the soldiers under his command are all cavalry. In addition to the counterattack on the first day, their cavalry turned into infantry, responsible for guarding a large section of the Great Wall. The cavalry has the advantages of cavalry and their disadvantages. Their advantages are It relies on the huge impact and mobility obtained by the war horse. The disadvantage lies in the lack of offensive ability and defensive ability.

The weapons they are equipped with are also very different from ordinary rifles. Most of the cavalry are long guns and knives, supplemented by the short rifles with a large number of their current equipment. The firearms in the army are far less and more perfect. Their heavy firearms are only the tiger squatting cannons used by the Ming army, so the matter of defending the city is equivalent to letting them go to the end. Inverted, they gave up their strengths and made a short attack, so these days, although they also bravely resisted the repeated attacks of the Jiannu army, the casualties exceeded that of the step army, which made Wang Chengping very distressed, but there was nothing he could do. Yan Chongxi's first town army this time, his cavalry accounted for nearly half, guarding the Great Wall. With such a long line of defense, the troops in Yan Chongxi's hands are not enough at all, so his cavalry has to go up. Yan Chongxi can't pull them out to do what they like and do well.

These days, some time ago, they organized a counterattack to let the cavalry show their advantages again, but most of the time they could not ride a horse and could only fight with the Jiannu army on the wall as an infantry.

Now that Luo Li has finally led his troops here, his cavalry can finally be liberated to do something they are good at, so whether it is Wang Chengping or the cavalry under his command, they are all in high spirits and handed over the matter at hand to the new Luo Li's headquarters at a rapid speed. One by one, they went down to find their beloved horses, and immediately began to gather up, fed the war horses, tightened the belt under the horse's belly, fixed the saddle, and placed all kinds of weapons on the horse's back.

However, when packing up, many people also found that some brothers' horses had no master to claim them at this time. After these days of fierce battles, the cavalry lost a lot. There have been many cavalry brothers who died on the wall or were injured and sent to the field hospital in Funingwei. They went to be treated, so many of the war horses will lose their original comrades-in-arms from now on. Seeing that so many war horses have no masters, this can't help but make the cavalry feel sad.

"It's all cheering up! I know that you must feel uncomfortable when you see so many war horses without their masters! But you should remember that this bowl of rice is the only thing we eat, and death and injury are inevitable. Don't be pretentious with me here!

Although those brothers are no longer here, you remember that our emperor said that their way of death is as important as Mount Tai... It seems that there is nothing wrong! Yes, they died as heavy as Mount Tai! You are the strongest cavalry in our army, and it is our duty to kill the sars! If you die, you can enter the Martyrs' Temple. Whether you are Mongolian or Han Chinese, you are all good men of our Dazhong army! It doesn't distinguish between you and me!

Now it's all on horse! Go with me and continue to kill the Tart! If anyone feels uncomfortable in his heart, when he turns back and meets the Taran soldiers, he will try his best to kill a few more and avenge his brothers. In that case, the dead brothers will be happy for you even if they are under Huangquan! Kill the slave!" Wang Chengping rode on a big black horse, galloped back and forth in front of the cavalry gathered in front of him, pulled open his loud voice, and shouted at the cavalry under his command.

"Kill the slave!" With Wang Chengping's roar, thousands of people shouted in unison in the open space of Guannei. Just as soon as he saw the cavalry generals who were a little sad and sad, his morale was suddenly mobilized by Wang Chengping's scolding.
