Chapter 36 Victory
Someone had already poked his head out of the gap to see the situation of the battle, and soon it entered the mine. The people who were holding on to it began to cheer, which was their victory. After Cao Junhou hid from beginning to end due to injury, the battle seemed to have nothing to do with him, because he had no command power at all and was injured. What could he fight against the enemy? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At this time, the scholar-like person stepped forward and said, "Does Junhou feel that Qing Cang snatched the limelight?"
The Marquis of Cao Jun just sighed, but the scholar smiled and said, "You are the Marquis of Military Affairs and have the qualifications to command half a thousand. Now the Yellow Turban has retreated. It just happened to be a victory in this battle to report to the court that the Yellow Turban will be destroyed and all the credits will be taken. At that time, the court will not allow a lieutenant?"
The lieutenant is an official position higher than the military marquis, and can command one thousand troops. That is really proud, ten times stronger than now.
Cao Junhou thought about the scholar's words for a while and expressed his doubts: "What if he submits to the court?"
The scholar laughed. "When you told him to lead the troops, who would listen to his words? And you still have injuries as evidence, and what about him?"
After hearing this, Cao Junhou was overjoyed and swept away the previous haze.
"Hahaha, Wu Chaojing, you are indeed my think tank!"
Sure enough, he listened to what Wu Chaojing said before, otherwise there would have been no such thing as Qing Cang defeating the Yellow Turban today.
"Hehe, when the Cao Junhou's fortune is prosperous, don't forget me today."
"That's a must, how could I forget you?"
Wu Chaojing did this with a purpose. If he helped Cao Junhou be promoted to an official position, he would naturally benefit. As the saying goes, one person can achieve enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs will be promoted to heaven. There was no imperial examination system in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Generally, officials recommended to the emperor by recommending filial and honest officials. If a common scholar wants to become an official, but without any tricks, you will never be an official in your life. Therefore, some scholars choose to follow the army to be a strategist, and perhaps they can still get a job with a single official.
The two of them conspired inside, while Qing Cang, who was outside, would form a shield formation with about fifty people, and his AK47 frame kept firing between the shields. This shield formation was extremely flexible and could change direction and speed at will. It was simply a moving fortress. There were countless casualties everywhere.
As for now, Qing Cang only allows swords and shields to fight, while others are just on standby. Why do they do this? He is afraid that the enemy will suddenly counterattack and shoot arrows, so he will still lose it.
A large number of Yellow Turban Army were no longer interested in fighting, and they threw away their armor and fled everywhere. As the number of deaths continued to rise, Zheng Hong was completely panicked. The failure of this battle was something he had not expected. At the same time, the shock of this war was no less than that of Cheng Yuanzhi's 50,000 troops led by Liu Bei's three brothers. It was also because of the failure of the last game that he is now.
"What's that!"
Looking at Qing Cang's moving fortress, sparks kept flashing on it, and people would be killed or injured wherever they went.
"Retreat, General, you can't stay in this camp anymore!"
The military advisor on the side advised Zheng Hong gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he turned his head and left. Most of the troops he led were mainly infantry, with few cavalry. They were pitiful to those infantry, which was slow and unbearable to attack, and they surrendered one after another. Qing Cang was not prepared to kill the surrendered people. He ordered the shield to be removed because the enemy was no longer a threat.
When he showed his face, Zheng Hong turned his head and saw that it was Qing Cang, and was shocked. It was really a narrow road for enemies. At that time, he was chasing Qing Cang and had no way to escape.
"People come, tie them up and escort them to the government to wait for the deceased!"
Now, the miners inside finally came to their use. They walked out of the high wall and held ropes in their hands, tied up all the surrendered people. They ignored some seriously injured and let them go. With such conditions at that time, serious injury meant death, and reality was so cruel.
Qing Cang took everyone back to the mine. When the task was not handed over, it was not completed. Although the Yellow Turbans were defeated, it was still one step away from the handed over.
He ordered as soon as he returned, and at this time, the entire army and miners were still under his control. He had the right to order.
"Calculate the casualties between the enemy and us!"
"yes!"
The battle lasted nearly an hour, not long, and he did not expect that the time it took was shorter than expected.
He asked everyone to rest for a while, but Cao Junhou came out and said in a false opinion: "Thank you all for your hard work! Now the enemy has retreated. Qing Cang, you can rest, and I will preside over the next step."
"No! We'll talk, I will still be in charge before noon."
When Cao Junhou heard this, his face changed drastically, which was challenging his authority.
"Qing Cang, I am the chief here!"
Before Cao Junhou finished speaking, a saber was put on his neck. Cao Junhou hadn't even seen how he did it because he was too fast.
"Here, there is only force, no commander! Everyone has heard that they were still under my charge before noon. As such a leader, do you not even have such credit? How did you lead the soldiers?"
He had seen Qing Cang's power, and his force was unquestionable. Everyone present had a complicated relationship with Qing Cang. Without him, everyone would have to die here, and Cao Junhou also agreed to let him lead the army. Therefore, everyone did not act in extreme extremes.
The miner is more willing to obey Qing Cang's arrangements. Someone shouted: "We are willing to follow Qing Cang, we only follow his orders."
His words were immediately echoed by everyone, and people expressed their opinions that only the soldiers brought by Cao Junhou were swaying and didn't know what to do. The atmosphere on the scene became very awkward.
He was very willing to see people's reactions.
But at this moment, the scholar stood up and smoothed out.
"Sir Qing, please relax. Cao Junhou is not afraid that you will be tired. He is tired after the war. He wants to share the burden for you."
"unnecessary!"
"You are playing with fire!"
"Why, believe it or not, I will kill you now!"
"Relax, don't get angry."
The saber was already on the throat of Cao Junhou, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides became stronger. The scholar pulled Cao Junhou down and said a few words in his ear.
Cao Junhou had no choice but to do with Qing Cang's toughness, and finally he could only choose to compromise after hearing the scholar's words.
"You will pay the price for what you did just now!"
And at this time a soldier trotted in from outside.
"Report!"
Qing Cang put Cao Junhou down and put away his sword. There are more important things to deal with now.
"explain!"
"We injured ten people, twenty people died, more than two hundred people were injured by the enemy, four hundred people died, and three hundred prisoners were captured. Ten chariots of food and grass were seized, and fifty war horses were killed."
That is to say, Zheng Hong took away less than 200 people.
