Chapter 210 Jiaozhou 5
After the day turned white, Zhou Huaian was able to step into the ruins of the Yingpan on the other side, looking at the prisoners who were covered in smoke and fire and blood, holding their heads and kneeling on the ground. All this came too suddenly, and it made people feel a bit ridiculous. The enemy who had to deal with it with all his strength yesterday had already been destroyed after this night?
Compared with the hard battles during the day yesterday and the exciting attack and defense at night, the victory in the second half of the night was simply inexplicable. As the person in charge of the vanguard, Huo Cun, who then reported to Zhou Huaian, also looked a little complicated, because this victory was a chain reaction result of a accident.
When they occupied the bridgehead position last night, they were calm. Without disturbing the local camp, they cleaned up the more than 20 wandering guards and guards who were left at the bridgehead, and they even regarded them as friendly forces and didn't have time to react. Then they built a defense array on the spot and sent out a signal to guard for the rest of the game, but an accident happened.
Because a team of troops who had switched defenses from the enemy camp also opened with wind lanterns and flags; then these did not easily expire, because the other party shouted Annan's divine words; a short encirclement encounter broke out again near the bridgehead; but this time the results were not so perfect.
However, he did not expect that there were still a few enemy soldiers who had fallen at the end of the team, but for some reason, who had been separated for some time, became the fish that escaped the net under the attack and ran back to the camp in vain. At this time, Huo Cun ordered to give up the pursuit and form a formation to wait for assistance, but another accident occurred; a team of swordsmen who were arranged to roam and block other patrols on the periphery were chasing for some reason under the leadership of the team.
Then they chased after a long time. After they chased the fish one by one, they found that they had already chased the enemy's camp outside the enemy's camp gate, and even the camp gate had been opened to wait. Then, under the leadership of this somewhat dizzy team, they rushed in and saw the people in a quiet voice, but they planned to get a few heads back to make up for it.
As a result, when the rush was about to find that the opponent was lazy and unprepared, it was completely different from the enemies he encountered during the day. The opponent did not expect that he would be attacked at night, and the defenders near the camp gate were caught off guard and killed and fled in all directions. Then the soldiers took the light torches and fire cages and took the opportunity to set fire to the camp to ignite a large area; and the entire enemy camp was alarmed and clamored.
At this time, three other teams of jumping soldiers led by himself came to pick up Huo Cun. Seeing this situation and situation, they simply went all out and attacked along the wide open camp gate. After a while, some superimposed amplification effect was produced. Most of the remaining enemy troops actually roared like a nest, and they began to rush and trample on each other like headless flies.
When Huo Cun and his team were about to run out of their momentum and fell into the enemy's siege again; just as the crossbowmen who crossed the river arrived at the other side under the leadership of Ge Cunzhou, they then followed the safety of their brother-in-law and followed the fire and movement. In this way, a lot of firewood was added to the fire in the corruption of the enemy camp.
After the third batch of armored soldiers led by Chai Ping personally entered the battle, they became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the collapse of the enemy camp was no longer remedied. Of course, in addition to the lucky factor of accidental collision, it was found through the interrogation of the prisoners after dawn that there were other reasons for this unexpected victory.
Because among the official army, which came to fight the "ten thousand" soldiers, there were actually seven or eight thousand people, more than two thousand of the most elite troops had been sent across the river to participate in the night attack; therefore, half of the people staying in the camp were old and weak and new soldiers, and half were Tutu troops who surrendered and annexed from Jiaozhou City;
Their camp tent is located near the raided camp gate, so after being attacked, it is easy to get messy like a frightened bird. During the fire and killing, they panic and rushed towards the camp, which then dispersed and disrupted the order and reactions of other camps, leading them to fail to effectively gather together for a while or aggregate into a large scale.
However, the rebels paid a lot of money for this. The team of swordsmen who attacked the battalion first were almost killed or injured, and the three teams brought by Huo Cun only collected more than one team; the others were all lost due to accidents in chaos. Later, the loss of Ge Congzhou's troops and Chai Ping's troops was smaller, because they had enough manpower to form a battle formation and fought step by step against the chaotic enemy forces.
But no matter what, this is a great achievement of hundreds of people rushing to the camp and disrupting the enemy that is dozens of times more than one's own.
However, before that, Zhou Huaian had to deal with it first. For example, as the culprit who caused this series of accidents tonight, the team leader who was taken to him. He looked quite young and in his early twenties. He was dark and thin and his hands and feet were slender, but his body was covered in blood and several bandaged scars made him show a bitter aura.
"May I have your name.."
Zhou Huaian asked expressionlessly
"The humble prince, once the name of the Lord Ge Army was given to Yanzhang..."
It was not until this moment that he said in a little cramped and awe.
"You can just be called Beixia Yanzhang..."
Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered that this person, who was the young rebel army with Chai Ping, was dug up from the subordinates of Ge Cun, a veteran of the rebel army and the leader of the right-wing Taofen Army, because he liked the story of the Water Margin Gathering and Congregation in the lecture hall. He was also one of the first talents to be introduced.
"Are you from Shouzhang, Yunzhou?"
When Zhou Huaian heard the last two words, he couldn't help but feel moved. This was not the person he knew: he saw this person with the same name on a local celebrity on the Yunzhou Tourism Website.
"It's just that..."
He still responded without raising his head.
Then Zhou Huaian asked a few more questions, and he became more sure that he was almost inseparable. However, he, a figure from the late Tang and Five Dynasties, actually worshiped the Water Margin Song and Jiang, more than 300 years later. This is a bit too dislocation of time and space.
That's right, it should be him. The last famous general and pillar of the Later Liang Dynasty, known as the Iron Spear King, one of the top fighting generals of the Five Dynasties. He once defeated dozens of generals of the Later Tang Dynasty in one go. He dared to fight against the famous general Wang Yanzhang, a generation of famous general who was the nickname "Li Yazi", and was accidentally attacked by Wang Yanzhang, a young rebel army.
In Zizhi Tongjian, he said that "Yan Zhang is brave and powerful, able to walk a hundred steps with his feet and foot. He holds an iron spear and gallops, gallops as fast as flying, and no one can lift it. The army is a king's iron spear." There are also stories of riding alone across the river and scaring away tens of thousands of troops.
The famous saying: 'The leopard leaves his skin when he dies, and the person leaves his name when he dies.' is his catchphrase ("New History of the Five Dynasties: Biography of Wang Yanzhang": "Yanzhang's martial arts man, who did not know how to write, often said to people in slang: 'The leopard leaves his skin when he dies, and his name when he dies.'"). Even though he was still fighting in front of the enemy at the age of over 60, and then he was captured by the Later Tang Dynasty, he refused to surrender and dies. It is also a microcosm of a man born and dies vigorously and tragic and resolute.
Huang Chao's uprising army was indeed the soil and breeding ground for the five generations of generals, and one of them emerged. Even if the trajectory of life had been accidentally deviated by me, I could still survive the chaos of chaos, and I still had some luck with the storm of later generations.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but feel a little happy and glad. Could it be that because his strength has initially grown and has the potential to attract people to invest, he also needs to operate in time; after he was under his command, the new version of the Southern Han regime he expected had laid a certain potential foundation.
Although he did not expect to become a real version of the historical version of the Southern Han Dynasty according to his ambition and expected target, and he did not expect to become a party paradise in history, which could become an official, or let the ministers wait for wives and concubines to be exchanged for fun at court banquets, or even perform heavy-mouthed programs such as humans and beasts, it is not a problem to settle in a corner and have unique profits in the sea trade, thus collecting a large number of harems of various skin colors and styles.
So it is true that we still need to fight more and give more opportunities to show and stand out, so that we can discover and attract future storms who may be hidden in the wild or dormant inside and outside the system.
"Where is the military law guard?"
Although I made a lot of joy in my heart, after I had changed my mind and thought about it in an instant, Zhou Huaian still shouted without changing his expression.
"Abide by the orders..."
"The prince of the team is clear and brave and resolute in defeating the enemy. He should discuss the third-class A merit, and can reward ten pieces of silk, and the promotion can be reduced by one round..."
"But if you violate the order and attack without authorization, you should be punished with thirty military sticks."
Speaking of this, Zhou Huaian shouted righteously
"The school captain Huo Cun is able to take over the post and has also made remedies. The promotion can be reduced by two rounds."
"Other will allocate Wang Yanzhang's team to your command and urge them to make up for it."
Hearing this, Huo Cun couldn't help but look at Wang Yanzhang in surprise, but he didn't say anything but nodded slightly to agree.
"If you have merits, you need to reward, if you have merits, you need to punish. After you have merits and demerits, you will be deducted as appropriate and then redeem it as possible to observe the formation before redeeming..."
Then Zhou Huaizai looked at his eyes and said word by word.
"Are you ever convinced if you break it like this?"
"The villain is convinced and should accept it without any objection..."
He knelt down on the ground without hesitation and said loudly, which saved Zhou Huaian's next thoughts and effort.
After all, as an army with vitality and enterprising spirit, what needs to be the most important thing in this kind of matter is to distinguish rewards and punishments, rather than being vague or mixed with things, leaving people with imagination and suspicion and speculation too much. This will cause trouble if people make people think too much in private.
At best, his behavior is too subjective and initiative, and at worst, he is a self-righteous behavior that is self-righteous and blindly ignorant of military discipline; even if the result is good, it is not worthy of encouragement and publicity.
As the leader of an emerging force, you will not place your hopes too much on the probability that the enemy can make mistakes every time; you will not expect that these uncertain factors that are easy to make decisions and hidden dangers that are prone to accidents will appear frequently under your command.
Even if he is a future celebrity and has the potential to be cultivated and appointed by himself, there is no need to tolerate or indulge. Although this person is unknown in history books, he also showed some calmness, decisiveness and ability in the battle that night, and he did a good job of adapting to the enemy;
With the potential love that he still ignored his past grudges after being disobedient and took the initiative to supervise and restrain Wang Yanzhang, who is somewhat inclined to go alone, it is quite appropriate.
After working a little more effort to deal with this temporary episode, Zhou Huaian found that he had obtained several more special prisoners after the battle.
