When Jeju was in a mess, the Liang State camp in Tai'an Prefecture was also very busy. In this battle, more than 20,000 people were captured, more than the number of soldiers and horses in Daliang. Everyone was thinking a lot about how to arrange them.
The generals of Daliang were originally a little wary of Gao Qiu's 100,000-strong army, but after today's battle, their confidence soared.
Lin Chenggong killed Zhengzhou Military and Horse Supervisor Chen Zhu, Suizhou Military and Horse Supervisor Duan Pengju, and Feihu General Bi Sheng. Dong Ping killed Feilong General Feng Mei. Chao Yong killed Xuzhou Military and Horse Supervisor Li Ming and Tangzhou Military and Horse Supervisor. Han Tianlin and Guan Sheng beheaded Ma Wanli, the commander of the army and horses in Yaozhou.
While Liang Guo¡¯s camp held a grand celebration banquet, everyone in Jeju was eating wine to suppress the shock.
Li Kui ate a bowl of wine and said dissatisfiedly: "This imperial army is also useless. I thought that a hundred thousand people could kill me happily, but I didn't expect that they all turned around and ran away before there was much fighting."
Lu Zhishen also shook his head and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army is too poor. If we let them go to fight with the Xixia people, I am afraid that a team of iron kites will be able to drive them away crying for their father and mother."
The Iron Harriers are Xixia's elite cavalry. They ride the best horses in Xixia. They wear heavy forged steel armor and are invulnerable. When going into battle, the cavalry are fixed on their horses and will not fall off their horses even if they die in battle.
There are three hundred men in each team, and the captains of each team are Xixia warriors. Although Xixia only has ten teams of Iron Kites, they are the Western Army's most troublesome opponent. The Divine Arm Crossbow can kill them, but the complex mechanism on the Divine Arm Crossbow determines its preciousness and rarity. Moreover, the war between the Western Army and Xixia has been in a tug-of-war. Once the Xixia soldiers and horses approach, the Divine Arm Crossbow will The crossbow must be destroyed on its own to prevent it from falling into the hands of Xixia. Therefore, when the Western Army faced the Iron Kites, they were more willing to sacrifice their lives.
Hu Yanzhuo was also from the Forbidden Army. Seeing everyone denigrating the Forbidden Army, he felt that his face was disgraced. He shook his head and said: "After Gao Qiu took charge of the Forbidden Army, he aggressively eliminated dissidents and installed cronies. As a result, the combat effectiveness of many of the Forbidden Army was greatly reduced."
Shi Wengong said: "On the one hand, they are not well-trained and their combat effectiveness is poor. On the other hand, the Imperial Army has no determination to fight to the death. When I was in Hebei, I also saw many rural soldiers whose combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Liao cavalry. But when the Liao soldiers came to attack Caogu, They would rather die than retreat, even if they die, they will have someone to support them. Many times, the Liao soldiers will be scared away by these rural soldiers. "
Hu Yanzhuo shook his head and said: "That's because they have no choice but to retreat. In order to protect their families, they have to fight tooth and nail."
Chao Yong wanted to laugh when he heard what Hu Yanzhuo said.
During the Jingkang Disgrace, the Song soldiers had no way to retreat, and their relatives were behind them. However, there were very few Song soldiers who dared to fight against the Jin soldiers. The battles with the Jin soldiers often collapsed at the first touch. Instead, various places spontaneously Although many of the anti-Jin troops only carried homemade weapons, they often fought to the death with Jin soldiers.
When running away has become a habit, no matter who is standing behind them, once they encounter a tough fight, the first thing they will think of is running away.
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Retreating without retreat can indeed stimulate some fighting spirit, but more importantly, it requires strict enforcement of military discipline. Only by allowing them to truly respect military discipline and command the troops can they be able to command like an arm."
While everyone was talking, Shi Qian walked in.
When Chao Yong led his troops on an expedition, he asked Shi Qian to accompany him.
Lin Chong moved in when he saw it, and couldn't wait to ask: "Have you found out the whereabouts of Gao Qiu?"
Shi Qian nodded and said: "Gao Qiu fled to Jeju and collected the defeated troops there. Those defeated troops still fought with each other in the city of Jeju, and now they are all driven to camp outside the city."
Lin Chong originally thought that Gao Qiu would flee directly back to Tokyo, but he didn't expect that he would dare to stay in Jeju. He couldn't help but said with joy: "The Song army was defeated and many generals were lost in this battle. There will be chaos at this time. It would be better to attack the Jeju camp overnight." , we can defeat Gao Qiu¡¯s army in one fell swoop.¡±
Li Kui also shouted: "I haven't killed enough, so I just happened to sneak in in the dark and kill them."
"kill"
"kill"
"kill"
Other generals also responded one after another. Although it was just a simple word, it revealed their determination.
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, tonight Wu Song and Mu Hong will lead two thousand people to stay in the camp and guard the prisoners. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed without mercy. If one person moves, one person will be killed. If ten thousand people move, ten thousand people will be killed."
When Wu Song and Mu Hong heard Chao Yong¡¯s murderous words, they also nodded and accepted the order.
Besides, Gao Qiu finally calmed down the fighting between the soldiers. Gao Qiu ordered Dang Shiying to command the soldiers to camp outside the city and at the same time gather the defeated troops.
Until night, only three of the ten leading generals, Wu Bingyi, the commander of the army and horses in Chenzhou, Wang Yi, the commander of the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, and Zhou Xin, the commander of the soldiers and horses in Songzhou, returned. The number of defeated troops gathered was only more than 60,000, which was more than Zhang Liang and Jia Juxin expected. Much less.
Gao Qiu was a little panicked when he heard that only three people had returned.Uncle Ye discussed countermeasures with Wu Bingyi, Wang Yi, and Zhou Xin.
Wu Bingyi shook his head helplessly and said: "I just looked at the soldiers and horses under my command. Many generals and officers lost their lives. The losses of soldiers and horses in Suizhou, Zhengzhou and other places were even more serious. Although more than 60,000 soldiers and horses were gathered, if there were no It took some time to reorganize the army and horses, but I'm afraid I still won't be able to go into battle. "
Today, Wang Yi bumped into Lu Zhishen and fought for his life to escape. However, he was afraid of General Liangshan and nodded: "General Wu said that now the army has been broken up and many generals have been lost." . The general thought it would be better to send some more generals from Tokyo to deal with the Liangshan bandits."
Xiao Zhangliang Jia Juxin understood and said: "The main reason for today's defeat was that no one could stop the Liangshan leaders, allowing them to break through the military formation, leading to a rout."
Gao Qiu was still frightened when he thought about Lin Chong breaking through the military formation with great force today and chasing him down.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Lin Chong is just the commander of the 800,000 Forbidden Army. I will recruit the 800,000 commander and deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. When the time comes, Lin Chong will be captured and cut into pieces with a thousand swords. Only then can we eliminate today's army." "Hunting for revenge."
After saying that, he immediately wrote a letter and asked his soldiers to rush back to Tokyo to recruit two people.
The two people recruited by Gao Qiu were the commander-in-chief of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army. They were the commander-in-chief of the left Yiwei Guards and escort general Qiu Yue. They were the deputy-capital commanders of the 800,000 Forbidden Army. Cavalry general Zhou Ang.
These two men were proficient in martial arts and commanded all the instructors, but they were Gao Qiu's confidants. However, Gao Qiu had previously thought that he would be able to capture the Liangshan bandits by commanding 100,000 troops, so he did not bring these two men with him.
Everyone was relieved when they heard that two people were to be transferred.
Zhang Shuye is not as confident as them. Although he has been kicked out of Tokyo in recent years and has taken a local post, he still knows the affairs of the DPRK. After Gao Qiu became the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Palace, those who obeyed prospered and those who rebelled perished. Instructors with strong martial arts skills such as Wang Jin and Lin Chong were all persecuted and left. Although the remaining instructors cannot be said to be ordinary people, I am afraid that the successful ones They are all sycophants, so it is not easy to defeat Lin Chong, not to mention that the strongest leader in Liangshan may not be Lin Chong.
But he couldn¡¯t say it directly, so he could only say: ¡°The army has been defeated again, and we must prevent the Liangshan bandits from attacking the camp overnight.¡±
Xiao Zhangliang and Jia Juxin also frowned and said: "The army is newly defeated. If it is attacked by thieves at night, I am afraid it will be defeated thousands of miles away."
Gao Qiu said: "Then bring all the troops and horses into the city. Once the city gate is closed at night, there is no need to worry about night raids by thieves."
Zhang Shuye heard this and said hurriedly: "Jeju is just a small town. If all 60,000 soldiers and horses are brought into the city, I am afraid that the people will not be harassed. As long as the generals arrange more patrols, bury deer antlers deep, and spread iron caltrops widely, it will be possible." Prevent Liangshan thieves from attacking at night."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu glared at Zhang Shuye and said: "It's unreasonable to enter the city and only disturb the people's rest. But if I put my army outside the city, there may be countless casualties. Which one is more serious? How can I use my own officer to fight again?" Did you say that?¡±
Zhang Shuye has led troops for many years, so he naturally knows the style of those ruffians. In order to defend against Liangshan bandits, he recruited sergeants widely after he took office, and the military camps in the city were already full. If these 60,000 broken soldiers were allowed to enter the city, they would have to live on the streets. But without the generals to restrain these broken soldiers, they would not be able to stay on the streets with peace of mind. You can almost imagine what will happen, including home invasions, robberies, molesting women, and killing and injuring people. I'm afraid the victims will be in vain.
Seeing that Zhang Shuye was silent, Gao Qiu ignored him and said to Wu Bingyi: "Go and mobilize all the soldiers and horses into the city."
Hearing this, Zhang Shuye hurriedly said: "Wait a minute."
Gao Qiu had a sinister look in his eyes, stared at Zhang Shuye and said, "What else does Mr. Zhang have to say?"
Zhang Shuye said hurriedly: "I have a plan. If the Liangshan bandits attack, they will be defeated."
When Gao Qiu heard that he could defeat the Liangshan bandits, he became interested and turned from anger to joy. He looked at Zhang Shuye and said, "Oh, Master Zhang, if you have any good ideas, let me tell you."
Zhang Shuye said: "Your Excellency, you can ambush a group of soldiers and horses outside the camp. If the bandits dare to attack, they will be killed by surprise."
Gao Qiu doesn't have much confidence now. He still wants to wait until Qiu Yue and Zhou Ang arrive before having a decisive battle with the Liangshan bandits. But it was hard to explain clearly, so he could only look to the side, Jia Juxin.
Xiao Zhangliang Jia Juxin thought for a while and said: "If it is daytime, the Liangshan bandits are brave and brave, even if there is an ambush, they may not be able to defeat the Liangshan bandits. But if it is night, people are easy to panic. If the Liangshan bandits suddenly ambush, I'm afraid It will also collapse.¡±
Gao Qiu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll ask General Wu to lead his troops to ambush outside the camp."
Wu Bingyi, the military supervisor of Chenzhou, did not think that he could defeat the Liangshan bandits by ambushing him. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "The last generalThe soldiers and horses are seriously damaged and need to be rectified, otherwise the generals and orders will not be able to reach them, which may ruin the master's plan. "
Hearing this, Gao Qiu had no choice but to look at Wang Yi, the military commander of Dengzhou, and Zhou Xin, the military commander of Songzhou.
The two men quickly shook their heads and said: "The soldiers and horses under the general's command are also seriously injured."
Gao Qiu was eager to hide in the city now, but he was not angry. He said helplessly: "In this case, we have no choice but to send troops into the city."
Seeing the cowardice of the three men, Zhang Shuye was filled with contempt, but he did not dare to let the defeated troops enter the city, and hurriedly said: "After the official took office, he trained an elite army. Now it is mature and its combat power is not inferior to that of the Western Army. Since the three generals are inconvenienced, I will lead the troops to set up an ambush."
Gao Qiu naturally knew about Zhang Shuye's achievements in the northwest. Hearing what Zhang Shuye said, he wanted to enjoy the success and immediately agreed to Zhang Shuye's proposal. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
