Chapter 24: Acting Garrison Commander, commanding five thousand troops!

"Zhu Ying, are you sure you want to take on this responsibility?"

Chen Heng looked at Zhu Ying, his eyes carrying a warning.

Although as a Regional Military Commissioner commanding ten thousand troops, he had to prioritize the bigger picture.

But Zhu Ying had saved his life after all, and this responsibility was so dangerous, the consequences were unpredictable, so he still didn't want Zhu Ying to take it.

"Subordinate is sure," Zhu Ying said loudly.

"Battalion Commander Zhu."

"How many troops do you want?"

Bu Wan looked at Zhu Ying and asked.

"This responsibility is not about the number of troops, but about the strength of the troops and the horses, and the soldiers being good at fighting."

"My subordinate has nearly seven hundred men under my command. If you give me four thousand cavalry, sufficient dry rations, I am confident that I can drag down the Tatars," Zhu Ying said immediately.

Four thousand cavalry.

Plus his own strength, and the attribute bonus brought by the authority official seal, Zhu Ying was very confident.

"General Chen."

"How many cavalry does our army have now?" Bu Wan looked at Chen Heng and asked.

"Reporting to my lord."

"Nearly ten thousand cavalry," Chen Heng said.

"Zhu Ying, since you have such courage."

"This official will first record this great merit for you, temporarily promote you to Acting Garrison Commander, give you five thousand cavalry, and assign four Battalion Commanders to assist you. With your authority as Garrison Commander, this official grants you absolute command over these five thousand cavalry; all Battalion Commanders must obey your orders."

"Those who violate the order will be dealt with according to military law."

Bu Wan immediately wrote a military order and stamped it with the official seal.

Garrison Commander!

An official rank above a Battalion Commander, commanding five thousand troops, is positioned below a Regional Military Commissioner.

Although it was an Acting Garrison Commander position, this was also the greatest support Bu Wan gave Zhu Ying.

Although he was a civil official, he also felt that what Zhu Ying said made sense. His army of twenty thousand had already marched deep into the northern frontier for a hundred li; if they continued to march deep, they would indeed be in a dangerous place.

Supplies and baggage were one part, but the more critical part was that it was easy to fall into heavy encirclement.

Now that the strategy proposed by Zhu Ying could both drag down the Tatars and attract the Northern Yuan, it was killing two birds with one stone.

Since Zhu Ying dared to risk his life to take on this responsibility, Bu Wan naturally had to help him for the sake of the overall situation.

Hearing Bu Wan's words.

Many generals in the camp previously had feelings of regret.

Although dangerous.

But this time, one could be promoted by one rank. Although it was only acting, as long as they dragged down the Tatars and returned to the Great Ming alive, this acting would be gone, and it would become a real one.

"Subordinate thanks the Commander, and will definitely not let the Commander down," Zhu Ying bowed immediately, his heart also a little excited.

The reason he took on this responsibility was, first, it was indeed a great merit, and second, it allowed Zhu Ying to continue killing enemies in this northern frontier.

Compared to attacking the Northern Yuan for the throne, Zhu Ying, as a cavalry commander, had more opportunities in this northern frontier.

Seize this opportunity.

Kill enemies and pick up attributes!

Perhaps Zhu Ying would have the opportunity to break a thousand in all attributes.

Reaching this stage, Zhu Ying would thoroughly possess the reliance of strength in this army, in this era.

Of course.

The power gained from this would not be small either.

"General Liu."

"After going down, order the logistics army to prepare dry rations for five thousand soldiers for at least half a month."

"It must be prepared today," Bu Wan said to Liu Zhen.

"Subordinate acknowledges the order," Liu Zhen said happily.

It was at this moment!

"Report."

"An urgent military report has arrived from the camp of the Regional Military Commissioner stationed at Daning Prefecture."

"The Liaodong territory occupied by Nahachu of the Northern Yuan has signs of troop mobilization, seemingly intending to attack our Danning."

"Please decide, Commander."

An urgent messenger rushed into the camp and reported loudly.

As soon as these words fell.

The generals in the camp were all shocked.

Many people's gazes fell on Zhu Ying involuntarily.

Just now, Zhu Ying had already predicted that once the Northern Yuan moved troops, they would not directly reinforce the Tatars, but would attack Danning.

Now it had really happened as he predicted.

"It seems Zhu Ying is not only fierce and brave, but also a general talent."

"It seems I should cultivate him with emphasis in the future. If I can produce a general talent in my hands, and he has merit in guarding the Danning border in the future, I believe the Emperor will also be very happy," Bu Wan thought secretly.

At this moment.

He couldn't help but look at Zhu Ying again.

"My lord."

"Now that the Northern Yuan is moving troops to attack our Danning Prefecture, Danning cannot be without someone to guard it."

"Subordinate thinks that my lord can first return to Danning to guard it, so that the remaining soldiers will have a backbone," Liu Zhen suggested respectfully.

"Subordinate seconds that," Chen Heng also said immediately.

"En."

Bu Wan nodded.

Marching in the northern frontier for consecutive days, Bu Wan also admitted that he really couldn't keep up with the pace of these military generals.

"In that case."

"The surprise attack on Liaodong will be left to the two generals."

"Specifically how, you two can decide after discussion," Bu Wan decreed immediately.

"Subordinate acknowledges the order," Chen Heng and Liu Zhen replied immediately.

After the discussion in the camp ended.

The order was issued.

The cavalry in the army was also quickly reorganized and integrated.

A garrison cavalry battalion of five thousand cavalry was put together for Zhu Ying.

And the logistics army was also fully preparing dry rations.

Chen Heng stood in front of Zhu Ying, his face carrying a kind of helpless look.

"You kid, I don't know what to say to you."

"Don't you want your life?"

Chen Heng sighed.

"What does the General mean by this?" Zhu Ying smiled and saluted.

"You kid are still pretending with me."

"Five thousand cavalry placed on this northern frontier land is like a drop of water falling into the ocean, and it won't stir up any waves."

"Although the Jianzhou Tatars are weak, they are ultimately all soldiers, and they have horse farms, and their cavalry is not small. Their military strength is absolutely no less than seventy or eighty thousand. If the Northern Yuan reinforces and surrounds you, you are really in danger," Chen Heng said helplessly.

"General."

"Even if it wasn't me taking on this responsibility, there would still be other generals taking it."

"And after taking this responsibility, I will be promoted, this is a good thing," Zhu Ying said with a smile, not looking like he was afraid at all.

Seeing this.

Chen Heng was completely helpless: "You kid, sigh, I don't know what to say to you anymore."

"Fine, if you have any requirements, anything you want me to do, just say it."

Hearing this.

Zhu Ying smiled: "Trouble the General to prepare more arrows, at least let every cavalryman carry two quivers of arrows."

"Good."

Chen Heng nodded without hesitation.

"Besides that, dry rations and water are also being prepared by the logistics army, so I have nothing else," Zhu Ying said with a smile.

"Are you sure there is nothing else?"

Chen Heng stared at Zhu Ying.

"There really isn't," Zhu Ying shook his head immediately.

"Where is your home? Who else is in your family? Don't you need me to send someone to pass a message?" Chen Heng said helplessly.

"General."

"Why do you make it sound like I'm having a hard time coming back alive?" Zhu Ying also looked like he was crying without tears.

This was asking him to leave his last words!

Chen Heng looked serious.

"You have already received the military order, and I cannot change it, I can only do some other things," Chen Heng said in a deep voice.

Looking at Chen Heng's heartfelt appearance, Zhu Ying also became serious: "In the past, I had a grandmother, now I am alone. Of course, if you count it, there is also a steward uncle who took care of me since I was young."
