Chapter 1354: The World of the Han Flag (44) The Clouds in the Square (4)
The Third Division of the 20th Army suffered a serious defeat. The First Division was in Tianjiaping, Xiyangping, and Huangshiping, defeated thousands of Qin troops and failed. In just half a day, they abandoned the city and fled. The brilliant victory made the Third Division, which was the second attack echelon, look very jealous. At the same time, the attention to the Qin army was immediately reduced by several levels. Over the renovated First Division, Feng Chi and Diezhi ran towards Lu Bin. The First Division had already made its first contribution, so they naturally wanted to take Lu Bin and use a larger and heavier credit to suppress the First Division.
The Third Division troops before advancing at high speed were seriously disconnected, and the baggage and artillery were all pulled back by the light cavalry and infantry. What they never expected was that Xu Yahua, who was in Lubin, was not defence, but attack.
Qian Zhongyi lies in ambushing the three thousand infantrymen on both sides of the main road towards Lubin, launches a sudden attack on the Third Division, and then uses cavalry to intersperse it, destroying the logistics supplies that the Third Division was dragged behind. When he learned that the rear team was attacked, the Third Division, which was already struggling to support, suddenly collapsed and fled back to Tianjiaping. Qian Zhongyi, who had won a great victory, did not chase him, but dragged the artillery and other supplies that the Third Division had discarded, back to Lubin.
"You bastard, you have lost all the face of the 20th Army." Li Mingjun, who rushed to Tianjiaping, heard the news, kicked He Jun, the commander of the Third Division, to the ground with a dark face, and pulled out the knife with a choke, "I have chopped you."
"Captain Li." Yan Wei of the First Division took a step forward and hugged Li Mingjun's hand holding the knife tightly. "Captain Li, the Han army, has its own military laws. He Jun underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, suffered losses of troops and generals, and had its own military laws to punish him. The commander must not lynch his lynching."
Guo Fu, deputy commander of the Second Division led by Li Mingjun, also grabbed Li Mingjun's hand, "Commander, now is not the past. The commander in the army cannot kill generals and soldiers at will." Deputy Guo was Li Mingjun's confidant, and his words also calmed down Li Mingjun. With a sound of noise, he threw the sword heavily to the ground.
"Come here, take He Jun down first, and your own military law will deal with you, Guo Fu. You are now acting as the commander of the Third Division, gathering the team, and rectifying the morale of the army. It's just a defeat, it's nothing. This battle has just begun!" Li Mingjun said gritting his teeth.
Finally, the 20th Army took advantage of the opportunity to show its face. It was originally ready to give a lottery, but the First Division was furious and won three fortresses in a long time. The progress was smooth, and even the military region was extremely surprised. However, before the joy had passed, the Third Division slapped him in the face.
Now Yan Haibo and Ding Wei must be ready to come up and replace themselves. The 20th Army, which was established after the Western Zhao army was reorganized, was led by Li Mingjun, but in terms of combat power and willpower, there is a lot of gap between the other armies of the Han army, which itself makes Li Youjun feel a little inferior. After two years of hard work, he felt that the 20th Army is no worse than other troops, and the only difference is some outstanding military achievements. After fighting Lu Bin's battle, the 20th Army can hold its head up and enter the list of elite soldiers and generals of the Han army, but now, the Second Division has messed up.
In the Tianjiaping Fortress, a house that was smashed through half of the roof by shells. The military commanders at the 20th Corps level and above stood up with serious expressions. Li Mingjun looked at everyone with a pale face. Even the First Division, which had just won a big victory, had a heavy expression. They still understood the principle of both losses. Moreover, judging from the current situation, their victory was not enough to make up for the losses of the Third Division.
"Commander, the combat troops of the Third Division have not suffered much losses. Now they have collected nearly 5,000 people. However, the engineering troops and other baggage troops dragged behind have suffered heavy losses. A large number of magic crossbows and twenty artillery pieces assigned to the Third Division are gone. I think they were taken away by the Qin army." Guo Fu hurried over and said.
With a bang, Li Mingjun kicked over a chair in front of him with only three legs, "Bitch."
Everyone lowered their heads.
"I will personally command the Second Division as the vanguard and set out for Lu Bin immediately. Today I will arrive at Lu Bin. The shame of the Third Division can only be cleared with blood. Yan Wei, can the First Division still fight?" Li Mingjun roared in a low voice.
"Captain, the First Division can enter the battle at any time." Yan Wei said loudly.
"Very good. The First Division is the support echelon of the Second Division. The Third Division stays behind Tian Jiaping, Guo Fu, you stay here to reorganize the Third Division. Once it is completed, go to Lubin immediately. At the same time, send a messenger to the military region and tell Commander Xu that if I, Li Mingjun, cannot take Lubin, I will carry my head to him."
"Commander, please let the last general lead the second encounter. The commander will stay in Tianjiaping to coordinate the command." Guo Fu took a step forward and said.
Li Mingjun shook his head, "No, I'll go in person. Don't say too much. This is an order, not a discussion with you. Now it is not a war discussion, but a combat deployment. Let's go down and prepare for the battle."
"As for order!" A thunderous roar sounded in the room.
Jiang Fu sat on the ground and put on his clean armor one by one. The steel knife he had had a curling edge. This was the steel knife that was given to the officers. Jiang Fu found a piece of bluestone and poured it with water from his portable water bottle. He was grinding it wherever he wanted to make a difference. If he wanted to make a difference, he would first sharpen his weapons. Jiang Fu did not dare to neglect his weapons.
The news of a great defeat in the Third Division was spreading at this time. Jiang Fu could see a team of dejected soldiers of the Second Division retreating from the front from time to time. Some of them were even empty-handed and did not even take weapons. This made Jiang Fu feel a stream of evil fire in his heart. Fuck him, the face of the Twentie Army was thrown away. When they fought in Letian River, Crab and his entire team of 3,000 people did not lose their last weapon until they died. Jiang Fu still remembers that when he crawled out of that gap, all he could see were extremely fierce fighting scenes, and he was still alive.
Jiang Fu gritted his teeth while grinding his knife.
The sound of the military horn suddenly rang out, and Jiang Fu jumped up suddenly. It was the assembly call, the assembly call of the first division, and it was about to attack again. Jiang Fu was even scabbard and walked towards his troops, "Assembly, we are going to attack, let's go and wipe the butt of the second division's bastard." He shouted loudly.
The troops of the First Division are now scattered in Tianjiaping, Xiyangping and Huangshiping, and it takes time to assemble. The three fortresses they left behind will be handed over to the withdrawn Third Division to take over. When Jiang Fu gathered his troops and slanted his eyes to the shameful officer of the Third Division in front of him, the troops of the Second Division were already singing war songs. As the commander of the first battalion, Jiang Fu had received the order, and this time they arrived at Lu Bin as the second group.
Unlike Tianjiaping Fortress, Lu Bin's defense system must be more perfect and taller and more solid. Judging from the Qin generals easily defeating the Third Division, the opponent's generals are also an extremely difficult person, and this battle is not a big deal.
Jiang Fu didn't know who Lu Bin's enemy general was. Li Mingjun knew very well that Xu Yahua, Meng Tian's confidant general, was once regarded as his successor by Meng Tian. In his reputation, he was indeed a soldier. Just by daring to attack a whole division of the 20th Army with 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, he could see his courage. You should know that the formal organization of each division of the Han army is close to 10,000. Even if the engineers, artillery, crossbow soldiers and other auxiliary troops were deducted, there were as many as 7,000 soldiers who formally fought.
As expected, as Commander Xu said, no matter how elite he performed on the training ground was, it was not necessarily useful. Only by fighting a few battles could he see the difference. At that time, he thought that Commander Xu was biased against the Twentieth Army. Now, it was really a good word. The Third Division was always active during training, but when he really went to the battlefield, the generals' arrangement of troops was useless. First, they were proud and underestimated the enemy, and then they were dispersed and unable to gather them. In fact, He Jun was not panicked at that time. No matter the baggage troops dragged behind, he had to gather his troops and insisted on dealing with his opponent for a period of time, and could see through the enemy's weakness. Not to mention turning defeat into victory, at least they would not be defeated as miserable as they are now. An army that was once defeated wanted them to regain their combat effectiveness and courage than training them from a new recruit into an elite soldier.
Psychological shadows cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.
"Captain, Commander, Commander, Commander!" Li Mingjun, who was riding his horse, felt a sense of ominousness in his heart when he heard the shouting behind him. He trudged the horse and turned around and looked at the messenger who came to report the message, "What new order does the command have?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Captain Li, the command commanded the 20th Army immediately stopped attacking Lubin and returned to Tianjiaping Fortress to repair it." The messenger saluted immediately and said loudly.
My heart sank. It turns out that I am afraid of anything, but just a defeat made Commander Xu lose his trust in the Twentieth Army?
"Why should we stop advancing? Our 20th Army has no power to fight." He shouted angrily.
"Captain Li, my subordinates don't know, my subordinates are just passing orders." The visitor was the chief staff officer of the headquarters. Looking at Li Mingjun's angry face, he whispered.
"Who is the one who succeeded our troops to attack? The Fifth Army or the Sixth Army?" The commander of the Fifth Army was Ding Wei, and the commander of the Sixth Army was Yan Haibo. These two are veteran Fufeng Group and the direct generals of the King of Han. This time, they were also behind them as the second echelon.
"Captain Li, as far as his subordinates know, neither the Fifth Army nor the Sixth Army received the order, nor did he hear who would be sent to replace the Twentieth Army. The commander's order was to stop the attack."
"What is the commander trying to do?" Li Mingjun was surprised.
Not only was Li Mingjun silent, but Xu Yuan was also in the First Military Region Command at this time. After such a big loss, Xu Yuan suffered such a big loss. With Xu Yuan's temperament, it was even more uncomfortable than eating a fly. However, the person sitting on his head made him unimaginable and helpless, because this man was the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.
"Master, I originally wanted to take Lubin before talking about it." He said helplessly.
"It's almost done, it shows that the purpose of force has been achieved. There is no need to sacrifice more. Some things can be obtained by another method." Gao Yuandao. (To be continued.)
