In fact, even if these people don't go, it won't change Yang Zhen's determination to attack the Tatar camp on the north bank of the Xiaoling River.

Because no matter whether this matter is successful or not, or how great the results are, as long as you do it and make a big noise, at least the goal of mobilizing the Tatar army outside Songshan will be achieved.

As long as this goal is achieved, the defenders in Songshan City will know that reinforcements from the direction of Ningyuan are coming.

What's more, when Yang Zhen leads a team to carry out a sneak attack, no matter whether it succeeds or not, he will use a large number of firearms, especially earth bombs such as the Dragon King Cannon against ten thousand enemies. Regardless of their power, the sound will definitely be earth-shattering.

As long as Jin Guofeng in Ningyuan City was not deaf, he would definitely be able to hear the sound and would know that reinforcements were coming.

In this way, no matter whether the sneak attack is successful or not, at least the first purpose of rescuing Songshan and delivering the message will be achieved.

However, Yang Zhen still hopes that the teams in the advance battalion can unite as one and advance together and retreat together. Only in this way can they seize this golden opportunity and maximize the results as much as possible.

Therefore, he hopes that the more people involved in the sneak attack, the better.

With Zu Keyong's statement, Yang Zhen was very happy. Then he turned to Yuan Jin and said to him: "Brother Yuan is not a member of the advance battalion. Logically speaking, there is no obligation to rescue Songshan this time! However,

To put it bluntly, brother, Brother Yuan’s navy camp is the official army of the Ming Dynasty after all! Although the Songshan battlefield is small, it is related to the overall situation of Liaodong. If the overall situation of Liaodong is ruined, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger! This is what brother said

, by no means alarmist!

"Brother hopes that Brother Yuan will not only transport us to the mouth of the river, but also wait for us at the mouth of the river! Brother very much hopes that Brother Yuan can pick out a group of Marine Death Squadrons from the boatmen of the Navy Camp!

One or two hundred people is never too few, and three to five hundred people is never too many! Wouldn’t it be good if we all made contributions together?!"

Yuan Jin has been moved for a long time, but his mission on this trip is mainly transportation and reception. He is not sure what the consequences will be if he joins the war without permission. Naturally, everyone will be happy if he wins, but what if he loses?

Moreover, he did not have many soldiers under his command. In addition to his own soldiers and servants, the so-called navy battalion was composed of ordinary boatmen and oarsmen forcibly recruited from the people along the coast. They were all improvised men and horses.

Therefore, he was eager to give it a try, but also a little hesitant. At this time, Yang Zhen asked himself directly, and there was no way to avoid it.

What's more, he already thought in his heart that the success of this trip was very likely, and the possibility of making meritorious deeds along the way was also very high.

After Yang Zhen finished asking, he looked at him. Zu Keyong, Xu Changyong and Zhang Degui also looked at him.

These people all know that since they are going to fight, the more troops they have on their side, the better. Not only can the naval battalion under Yuan Jin's command be able to fight, at least in terms of manpower, it is better than their entire advance battalion.

There are a lot more.

Yuan Jin was a pirate, and he was once a ruthless character. He knew that he could not hesitate at this time. Fugui came from danger and sought the opportunity. If he didn't seize the opportunity quickly, would he be willing to be a naval camp garrison that was not worthy of the name for the rest of his life?!

"Brother Yang! You don't need to say any more! I did it! It's just what you said in the advance camp, we live and die together, we share wealth!"

"That's right! We live and die together! Wealth and honor together! Hahahaha!"

After Yuan Jin finished speaking, Yang Zhen stretched out his hands to hold Yuan Jin's hands. Then, the six big palms of Zhang Degui, Xu Changyong, and Zu Keyong also came over. The five people reached an agreement and looked at each other and laughed together, full of joy.

The heroic spirit of a man!

Yang Zhen took a nap on the boat back and regained most of his energy. Now several people were talking excitedly, so he simply asked someone to call Zhang Chen and Yan San over.

When Zhang Chen and Yan San arrived, it was already dawn, and everyone moved outside Yuan Jin's tent to continue the discussion.

Zhang Chen used the skylight to find a reed pole and drew on the sand a defense plan of the Tatar camp on the north bank of the Xiaoling River near the Empress' Palace - where are the haystacks, where are the grain stores, where are the stables, and where are the stables?

It is the camp area where the troops are stationed. It is clearly explained where the camp gate and watchtower are.

Finally, Zhang Chen said to the generals: "My generals! There are two Tatar camps in the north and south in the Empress Palace area. The camp we want to attack is the one on the north bank! The two camps in the north and south face each other across the river.

They are about ten miles apart! When the time comes, we will separate into the camps. We only need to separate a small team and go to the Xiaoling River to break the pontoon bridge here! By then, even if the camp on the south bank hears their request for help from the rear camp on the north bank, it will be too late to arrive.

Got it!"

After Zhang Chen said these words, Yang Zhen ordered him to retreat, and then asked Yan San to step forward and explain to everyone the route of the advance, the location for retreat and assembly, and the method of "breaking the camp".

Xu Changyong felt a little disappointed when he learned that the cavalry was useless. This time he insisted on bringing the horses, which really went through a lot of hardships.

Especially the night that just passed, he barely slept. In the first half of the night, he was still in the dark, directing the three hundred Mongolian soldiers to build the trestle bridge and dock platform. In the second half of the night, still in the dark, he was directing the three hundred Mongolian soldiers to build the trestle.

The war horses came down from the big ship.

As a result, the war horse was not used at all, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, after listening to Zhang Chen and Yan San's explanations, he also understood that in this sneak attack, the cavalry was useless, but Yuan Jin's fleet was the real priority.

Only then did he realize why Yang Zhen had to beg Yuan Jin to get involved.

As long as Yuan Jin participates, his fleet will never dare to evacuate without permission when attacking the Tatar camp.

Thinking of this, when Xu Changyong went to see Yang Zhen again, his eyes were different. People could always think of him in front of him, so what else could he think about? He could just listen to others and follow his lead.

Yang Zhen asked Zhang Chen and Yan San to tell them about the enemy situation they had discovered. He thought that he would just stop doing nothing and make arrangements for the raid now, so he said to everyone:

"This is the situation in the Tatars' important food and grass land! What I mean is, it is better to have a quick army and not to delay. Now that you have decided to do it, you must do it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"

After saying this, Yang Zhen looked at everyone, one after another. Everyone was tired and excited at the same time.

"Brother Yang! Just say it! I, Old Xu, and the three hundred Mongolian soldiers will follow your arrangements! There is no need for horses anyway. I, Old Xu, don't understand other ways of fighting. I will do whatever you say.

Dry!"

The largest force in the advance battalion is Xu Changyong's Mongolian soldiers. Now Xu Changyong has no objection, and no one else can have any objection.

After hearing this, Zu Keyong and Yuan Jin also clasped their fists at Yang Zhen and said, "Everything is subject to Yang Xiezhen's arrangement!"

"Since brothers trust me, Yang Zhen, I won't refuse!" Seeing that everyone was willing to obey orders and obey arrangements, Yang Zhen was not polite and said directly:

"The most important thing for this trip is the fleet! Please ask Brother Yuan to select one or two hundred Marines and personally lead the Marines to land and participate in the battle! Brother Yuan will also send people to prepare the rope ladders required by each department! In addition, arrange the appropriate personnel.

, command the rest of the oarsmen and boatmen, responsible for transportation and reception! No matter what happens, without my order, you will never be allowed to leave without permission!"

After Yang Zhen said these words, he looked at Yuan Jin, waiting for him to express his position, and Yuan Jin did not hesitate, clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Of course Yuan Jin had never heard of a military branch like the Marine Corps, but as soon as Yang Zhen said it, he immediately knew what it meant.

"Brother Xu! The three hundred people under your command are all veterans! Although the cavalry has changed to infantry this time, they are all good archers! This trip is not about head-to-head confrontation with the real Tatars, but the focus is on burning, killing, looting and causing destruction!

This time, in addition to bows, arrows and swords, you only need to bring more torches! I believe that your men will be of great use!"

After hearing this, Xu Changyong pointed at Yang Zhen with a wry smile and didn't say much. Others couldn't help laughing when they saw Yang Zhen speaking so bluntly.

How could the generals present not know the virtues of the Mongolian soldiers in the Ming Dynasty's official army?

These Mongolian soldiers can only fight against the wind. If they win, they will swarm up. If they lose, they will disperse.

However, if these people are used for "burning, killing, looting and causing destruction", then they are really using it in the right place.
