Chapter 312: Victory and Going to Jianghan (Part 2)
Near Jiangling City, known as the "Jingchu Passage", was a river separated by a river, in front of the bridge crossing on the south bank where the official army flag had been planted; a detachment of people also stopped in the fog gradually dissipating by the river.
"Everyone is cheered up... From this moment on, they are the yellow-headed Zhongwu soldiers..."
Zhu Jian, the rebel captain who was leading the horse, shouted loudly, while carefully examining the specially selected soldiers, tall, strong and fierce, and pointed at the details of their wear and movements one by one.
"We all took out the arrogant and domineering aura for me... We made contributions to the victory and demanded rewards and supplies; besides the Shannan Jiedushi himself, what else is worthy of your attention?"
"If anyone dares to question you, don't have a good face, I will answer it."
He was the only one from Wanqiu, Chenzhou, among the rebels. He worked as a small school for the state army to unite their children in both generations, so he was not unfamiliar with the predecessor of the Zhongwu Army. It was just that because his father died in a Yacheng Army transformation but failed to inherit his rank, his family has since fallen into the way and become a robber; he was also taken over by the rebels and became a small leader;
He was also half a villager and the same clan as Zhu Cun, who was close to Songzhou, and was able to serve under his command and became one of the few remaining lieutenants of the Kokang Army. Now he joined the Taiping Army and got this rare opportunity to show his face and show his own value.
And you should know that most of the children of Zhongwu Army are from Chen and Xu provinces; so it is not too difficult for him to pretend from his hometown accent and words.
"The visitor stops. Please negotiate with the defense and submit the report."
The newly built small village whistle was quickly heard from the alarmed shouts.
"A bastard who doesn't have eyes, I, Zhongwu Jianer, have any defenses and past situations..."
Zhu Jian, wearing a black mountain armor and a flying cloud doll, immediately said furiously.
"Why don't you open the road quickly? Are you really good at treating your grandfather's swords and guns?"
There was a little chaos and chaoticness in the small village. After a while, he slowly opened the gate of the cross-barrel lined up and directly acted as a self-indulgent attitude. Zhu Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, trying to recall the arrogant appearance of the fang soldiers he saw when he was young, and rode his horse away with a arrogant look without squinting.
Then, after a moment of fierce neighing and screaming, the small village in Ferry, which had only more than a hundred people stationed, changed hands easily. So, Zhu Jian, who continued to work hard, stepped onto the floating bridge in the river leading to the other shore with new supplements and replacements.
After half a day,
"Now there is good news, bad news...who do you want to listen to first..."
On the large ship that was moored along the river mouth and temporarily reorganized, Zhou Huaian walked towards dozens of military generals who were ordered to summon them.
Among them, Zhu Cun was the leader, there were more than a dozen new faces who joined one after another. They looked more restrained or cautious than other subordinates of Zhou Huaian. Some simply squinted their lips and communicated with their eyes, and seemed to have made up their minds to be a thorough bystander without saying a word.
"No matter whether it is good or bad, please give me some advice. We should follow the orders."
In the end, the general Wang Chongba, who was still worried and anxious, spoke first.
"Well, then I'll tell you good news first..."
Zhou Huaian nodded slightly and said
"The sentry team that had previously pretended to be a Zhongwu soldier had already taken down the intact bridge to Jiangbei, and drove four gates and garrisons, and went straight outside Jiangling West City. The official army seemed quite slack and defenseless. It seemed that there was something to do."
"What about the bad news?"
Wang Chongba, who seemed to be getting more anxious, touched the interface again.
"The bad news is that most of the camps established by the government army outside the city have been abandoned, leaving only some intersections and temporary checkpoints to rush to..."
Zhou Huaian continued in a heavy tone.
"Can it be... this Jiangling City..."
Wang Chongba's face became increasingly ugly, and his tone became more and more awkward.
"That's right, now all the people on all sides of the city are all the flags of the government army..."
Zhou Huaian finally threw out this somewhat cruel fact.
"I have already made people think of ways to get into the city to investigate, but it will be a matter of time before the enemy reacts..."
"So, I want to ask everyone what they mean, whether there is still a need to continue the attack in this battle. I'd better give up Yuezhou and make plans."
“Good…”
“No…”
"Please make a long-term plan..."
This somewhat unexpected result, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, suddenly triggered the uproar of the generals present.
The final result of the discussion was, except for a few who stopped and were safe when they were better; most of the subordinates' opinions were relatively positive and enterprising: as the saying goes, since they have been fighting in Jiangling all the way, of course, they cannot easily retreat without encountering the enemy's situation;
At least, you must take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and ignorance, or let the official army suffer a great loss, and hit and severely damage the opponent's aggression and momentum; only by making them know the interests of the army and be shocked, can the opponent be afraid and dare not underestimate it during the subsequent return journey of the army, and even act rashly.
"Okay, since this is the case, everyone will deploy their efforts to reorganize their arms and prepare for war..."
Zhou Huaian also announced immediately.
"Then the military team will forward the corresponding task strategy and specific cases to the generals and officers at all levels through the dangers of the battalions and brigades. Please work together to give the official army a hard lesson and a painful memory."
"I hope to follow the leader to sweep away the demonic atmosphere and create peace in the world again..."
"Make up for the average day and create peace again..."
"Avenge the rebel brothers who died...."
Suddenly, there was a thrilling and uneven response and sound, which sounded in the cabin that was used as the central military tent.
Wang Chongba, who was full of thought, returned to his naval ship, a 500-year-old river ship, and saw someone coming over and said:
"What's the point now?"
However, they were all the old navy brothers who had taken out of their ties, and everyone had urgent and worried expressions.
"Let the brothers be prepared and fight hard with the official dog."
Wang Chongba couldn't help but sighed with all his feelings.
"But now, the official dog has occupied the head of the general's city. I'm afraid there is no extra hope for the old uncle and Cao Shizi..."
"What.."
"how so.."
"What should I do?"
Suddenly there was a burst of shock, and some people shouted out indignantly on the spot.
"If I hadn't been delayed on the road for too long, how could I do it again..."
"Damn it, is this still human words?"
But Wang Chongba was furious, and a slapped the man who was saying strange words without hesitation. He rolled to the ground like a top and couldn't get up for a while.
"The Xu leader has done our best to us. How can you still suffer if you don't remember what you want to do?. Didn't we fight with blood, sweat and hard?. The ones who died or injured were not the brothers of the rebels, and they were delayed there?"
"When all the people under the General's Mansion refused to pay attention to the siege of Jiangling, it was the uncle who reported the thought that I made me come to the Guangzhou Mansion to rescue Jiangling. Where did you hear such nonsense?"
Speaking of this, Wang Chongba stared at the old subordinate who was still sitting on the ground and said sternly.
"Don't tell me that you thought of it yourself, I'm sorry that you don't have the intention of turning around... Who said this?"
"It's a man from Jiangzhou in the east... I'm a fellow villager in Yongyijun..."
The subordinate, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly explained.
"I also said kindly that if there is anything wrong with Jiangling, don't expect the people in Guangzhou to continue to work hard. I'd better take the opportunity to return to the military mansion early... at least you can have a seat."
"Can you think so too?"
Wang Chongba's face slowly calmed down, and he ignored him and turned to his other subordinates. Of course, most people looked both annoyed, at a loss, or unknown. Only a few people who came closer to this subordinate quickly avoided his gaze with guilt.
“This is really…”
After understanding their answer, Wang Chongba felt a little surprisingly resentful and unwilling, and became a little discouraged;
These people in the General's Mansion once spoke out with him, saying that the brothers of the Rebel Army were the best and the brothers were short. Then when things came to an end, they would only sit back and watch Jiangling come to pick up the bargain and divide the family's belongings. Is this the old brothers of the Rebel Army who swore together to share good fortune and stand up for the unfairness?
In contrast, the man who admitted that Jiangling had some particularly important interests with him was really not allowed to be misunderstood; therefore, without saying a word, he turned from the war and led his troops to rescue him as the lord of the Canton Mansion, but undoubtedly seemed very open and honest. Thinking of this, the last little unwillingness and grudges he had been forced to serve the other party for the five-year agreement, also completely disappeared in his heart.
At least the reason why the reinforcements were delayed was mainly due to the fault of chasing the enemy under Tanzhou City; but despite this, the other party could still claim to be one thing without compromising, and not change the original intention and itinerary of rescue Jiangling. On the contrary, he was willing to give himself a chance to compensate and recover; he was completely different from these people who would only take advantage of the situation and pretend to poach the enemy.
Just for this, he had to make plans for the future of himself and his brothers after losing his foundation and subordinate relationship. Perhaps settling a family outside the Lingnan in the future would be a good choice, but this would require him and his subordinates to have enough performance to reflect his own value and use.
"Everyone will tell me,"
He told himself this, and once again he spoke seriously and sternly to these subordinates.
"We must work hard to show our strength in the next battle and do our best to show our strength. If anyone dares to cheat and retreat, there is no need to deal with the military law afterwards. I will cut him off on the spot first."
"This is not only my request for everyone, but also for our future and future."
