Chapter 561 Dragons Without Heads

When Jiannu's cavalry appeared on the horizon, all the soldiers of Dongjiang Town were already standing on the hillside.

When another force of Jiannu met, the 2,000 soldiers in Dongjiang Town had already lined up in formation by relying on the bushes on the left.

When Yuetuo arrived at the battlefield, he had already seen Dongjiang Town and formed a strict formation.

This is the main road, and it is only two miles away to charge here, but when you walk down the main road, it is a bumpy journey. In the heavy snow, the war horses cannot be let go of no matter how they are.

The most important thing is that the enemy now occupies the hillside to the south, and is leaning on a dense bush on the left. If you charge in the north, it is equivalent to facing the winter sun.

The winter sun is not scary. What is scary is that it emits dazzling light under the reflection of the sharp snow, making the archers unable to see the enemy's target clearly. Even the Eagle Priest cannot shoot accurately.

And his own musketeers are rare.

In fact, he had a musket force, which was seized by the Ming army. However, at Huang Taiji's request, he handed over the Shenji Camp that he had worked hard to piece together to his great khan without hesitation. Some muskets he had just seized could only piece together a personal guard of one hundred of his men.

Such a small number of people can only play a little insignificant role in the local area, but on the real battlefield, it can be considered better than nothing.

Faced with such a situation, Yue Tuo had to admire the generals on the other side, his ability to observe the battlefield and make decisive decisions.

"If all the generals in Dongjiang Town can make such decisive decisions, this is really a problem for our Dajin."

Li Benguang, with his 2,000 brothers, was as tired as a dog, stumbled to the position he expected. He urged loudly without hesitation: "Hurry, hurry up, line up immediately and prepare to block the enemy's charge. We must withstand the enemy's attack and annihilate it in front of the position."

The soldiers covered in snow, cement and soil did not care about breathing and immediately formed a strict formation to face the enemy that was about to attack.

Called over to the patrol captain: "Your task now is to run back to Tieshan at all costs and transfer reinforcements."

The patrol captain looked at the surrounding environment and nodded: "Finish the task resolutely. But please tell me how many reinforcements do you need?"

This is very critical.

Li Benguang looked at the Jurchens on the opposite road, and the more and more Jurchens gathered. He understood that the enemy wanted to be here and annihilate himself. But Li Benguang smiled and said, "You want to annihilate me, but I want to annihilate you even more. You have a red flag, but there are 12,000 soldiers, but I have 20,000 horses. I can't find you yet, and I just use my small team to attract all your main forces. Then my army arrives together, and at that time, I will launch the infantry and cannons to completely annihilate you. In this way, I can open the road from Tieshan to Pi Island. Even if you have any conspiracy, I can deal with it calmly.

Then he gave the commander with confidence: "Call all our brothers here and do your best."

"But what if Lee Kwang-do still stops it?"

"This time, the camp is not here, and I am not here either. Why do you listen to them? If something goes wrong, I will take it all my responsibility."

The captain received the order loudly without hesitation, and then took a group of brothers to explain the task and set off separately.

The captain broke through many obstacles and finally rushed back to Tieshan, informing Li Guangdao of the news that his deputy general encountered many enemies in the cleaning.

After hearing the news, Li Guangdao was shocked. Faced with the request of several captains to go to the battle, Li Guangdao immediately refused.

Li Benguang, who came out, needed rescue, but if he was rescued, and fewer people would go out, he would once again be surrounded by the enemy.

But as many people go out, their Iron Mountain City will be empty.

As he said, the defense of Tieshan City still depends on the soldiers and generals of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom.

In fact, the soldiers and generals of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom are a kind of spiritual pillar. As long as they are there, their own Korean army will be full of confidence and burst into combat effectiveness.

However, once this spiritual pillar does not exist, North Korean soldiers, no matter how well-equipped and advanced their weapons, will collapse in a blink of an eye.

This point is undoubtedly verified by countless Jurchen invasions and Japanese invasions. He absolutely did not dare to release the heavenly soldiers who came to court.

Once they are released, it is equivalent to giving up Tieshan in disguise.

Tieshan is the gateway to North Korea and is almost the only barrier. As long as Tieshan is lost, there will be an endless plain behind it. Until Dingzhou, there will be no danger to defend.

Dingzhou is actually not a barrier at all. As long as the Jurchen cavalry appears in front of his city, Dingzhou will collapse like before. Then the entire North Korea will once again fall into the point of being ravaged by the Jurchens. The weak Korean king will surely surrender to the iron hoof of Jiannu again.

Whether from the end of the entire war, from a minister loyal to the Joseon Dynasty, or from a viewpoint of a serious binding interest with the Ming Dynasty, Lee Kwang-do would never allow him to happen.

Several captains were really at a loss now.

The Yingtou was not there, and the deputy Yingtou needed rescue. According to the organization of Dongjiang Town, there were the captains of each brigade under the Yingtou.

Why is this organization organized? The reason is that Zhao Xing learned the most advanced military organization method in later generations. In order to reduce the inconsistent command links in the middle, the division level directly commanded the regiment and cancelled the intermediate brigade level, which is the corresponding level of the captain of the 10,000 team.

It was trouble at this time, because the leader was not in the head and the captains were at the same level. The differences in opinions were serious and no one could convince anyone.

Although the patrolman said it, the deputy general told everyone not to listen to what Lee Guangdao is now.

But if you don’t listen to him, you will have different opinions and act independently.

The most important thing is that no one can afford to be annihilated in rescue, or to lose Tieshan after rescue.

After talking nonsense, everyone decided not to listen to Li Guangdao and to find the real second person in the current team - Lord Supervisor.

Although this general is actually the second person in this team. However, according to the current strict military and political division system of the Ming Dynasty, this military supervisor can no longer point fingers at military affairs in the army.

Therefore, the second chief in the army became an optional decoration, and people usually ignore him.

But at this time, due to the needs of the situation, these captains remembered him again.

No need for anything else, as long as he shows a higher status than everyone, he only asks him to give everyone a unified opinion.
