Chapter 85: Wind and Frost (4)(1/2)
Chapter 545: Wind and Frost (4)
"Our army was completely defeated in this battle! Especially the right wing, it was completely defeated!"
Inside and outside Wencheng, there are bright lights, digging trenches, setting up fences, transporting supplies, wounded, boiling water, cooking, and even controlling the battlefield, competing for equipment, and corpses... It's a mess!
Even so, the Gang still adhered to their sour tradition - a post-war meeting.
There was more than one meeting, the logistics were held, and the generals of each battalion were holding meetings with the participating soldiers, and the leaders were naturally holding meetings. As for this shocking golden and jade words, they were shouted by Liu Heizhu and Liu Dacheng at the leader's meeting.
After shouting, let alone the dull atmosphere in the backyard of Wenchengfuya was immediately broken.
"Liu Heiba!"
Jia Runshi stood up without hesitation and scolded him. "You have the face to decide the victory or defeat? Where are you when we are fighting hard today? If you turn around early and attack us, can we suffer so much?!"
"Jia Runshi, you are in the central army, why do you suffer if I suffer?" Liu Heiju didn't care that the other party was Chief Zhang's direct subordinate, and opened his mouth and pointed it out. "If the leaders of the right wing think that I have ruined the situation, they should stand up and say, "When will we not allow anyone to speak? We should find you, the fellow villager, to replace you?"
This was too straightforward and Jia Runshi held it in the spot.
And those who were pointed, who were from the Jishui River, now all the leaders under Xu Shiren's command were red and white. However, Xu Shiren's face was not good and did not refute Liu Hei's from beginning to end. He obviously had ideas... Seeing this, although he did not want to cause trouble, Fan Bao still stood up and scolded: "Captain Liu, then I'll ask you, if the four cavalry battalions in your hands could come back early to attack the right wing with us, how could Xu Longtou support him independently?"
Liu Heifeng had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately pointed at the other party's nose and mocked him: "This is exactly what I want to ask. I was ordered to lead the cavalry to roam. Shouldn't the first choice be to steal the camp when you confront them fiercely? Even the stolen camp on the surface, which attracted Han to gull, Han Changmei came to support and ambush again, or simply went to steal the Hanoi County City and Shishan again! What's the result? How did I wait until your fierce military situation is confronting you, but I knew that only Xu Longtou was left behind to support him? So I finally went back to save Xu Longtou! How should I ask me in this situation?! Go back 100,000 steps and say, if you can be like the left wing and the central army, just stay with Xu Longtou, and I will talk more tonight?!"
Fan Bao was speechless for a moment, and the leaders of the right wing all looked ashen.
"Okay!" Xiong Bonan heard this for a long time, and saw the atmosphere froze. Finally, he frowned. "Speak and don't criticize the same line... Everyone scolded and shirked the responsibility. How would he continue? The chief inspected the wounded and the fortifications of the camp. He has not come back now. We must talk about the loyalty of the same line!"
Liu Heifeng laughed dryly and spread his hands first: "What the King of Heaven said is right, I am speaking sarcastic, I am wrong, but some words must be said even if they are covered with honey... We are defeated in this battle! We came in a fierce battle, but almost collapsed. We cannot cover up this matter just because the chief led several masters to hold on to the scene... If we continue like this again, we will be able to win the world. People in the world will only say that we have dragged the chief down and made the new destiny many years later."
The atmosphere was a bit solemn, and most of the leaders participating in the battle were still angry, but a few people lowered their heads. Several senior executives, including Wang Shuyong and Xu Shiren, had their faces that were ugly from beginning to end.
Of course, there are also people like Kan Ling who have made great contributions and are not interested in watching the fun while watching the show against the wall on the edge of the yard.
"It's the truth that I didn't fight well, but it wouldn't be defeated." After a moment of pause, Xu Shiying's voice suddenly rang under the corridor.
"Of course I have to say that I have won the outside world..." Liu Hei-chan didn't say anything, but Xu Shiren finally found a suitable person to answer and expressed his attitude.
Everyone knew that Wang Shuyong was fine, and he still had some support. Later, he fought back a lot. Moreover, the temporary leader is increasingly unwilling to fight Xu Dalang again, so he didn't say anything, but Xu Shiren is really dangerous today and is really angry.
"It's not about the outside world, but we are indeed undefeated in this battle." Xu Shiying looked at the other party in the corridor and explained seriously. "In terms of the big strategy, we are here to confront each other and just hold on to the situation; but just talking about this battle, we may not have more damage than them..."
Xu Shiren was slightly stunned: "There are quite a lot of gains behind?"
"It's still being calculated, and there are still sporadic battles on the battlefield. I'm afraid it will be counted tomorrow and the next day... However, I can see clearly in the middle army behind, and I will take advantage of it later." Xu Shiying told seriously.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the proper commander of Deputy Commander Xu." Xu Shiren also gave a little concise to compliment.
"That's right..." Xu Shiying did not be humble, but continued to frown. "It's the truth that our troops are weaker than them, otherwise how could they be impulsive and stubborn? Being rushed to the central army and then counterattacked, it was a helpless end."
These words vented the anger again.
"It may not be that our soldiers are weaker than them...but that today's situation is more due to the different strengths and weaknesses of our soldiers and horses and the uneven combat powers of each battalion." At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard, which was the chief gang Zhang Xing.
When everyone heard him coming, they stood up one after another, and even Kan Ling also became solemnly-although the dragon claws and dragon wings had heard of them today, they still had some shock after seeing them with their own eyes.
"The chief is right, but if this is the case, it is really impossible." Xu Shiren immediately changed his attitude and agreed. "If we want to fight a big battle, we will still start a war in multiple directions. We always have to expand our army. But the camp system is the foundation of our gang and cannot be easily moved, so we have to reach this point... As for today's battle, it is a great situation to be able to hold on. In the future, those new camps will be trained and will not be afraid of anything."
After saying this, it didn't seem like a response to Chief Zhang, but instead he was next to Chief Zhang and comforted the leaders around him.
Hearing this, even the most arrogant Liu Hei-chung had just opened his mouth and said nothing.
"Since we know it is a weakness, we must always correct it. We cannot bite the bullet, let alone the military related to life." Zhang Xing waved his hand. "It's like our soldiers, especially new soldiers, are not as good as the military base of the Kansai for more than a hundred years, so we have developed a strategy of three arrows. This time the effect is also very good... As for the problem of different combat powers of each battalion, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Wang Yi's troops have also realized it a long time ago, otherwise they would not have designed a backup plan to maintain the elite in front and follow the command and cooperation of each battalion in the rear... But if I say it, it's still not enough."
"Then there is no way." Liu Hei-chung said angrily and anxiously. "One of the matter, there are new recruits, and the other hand, it is to add a number of properly-led battalions, which is also a matter of the future... And I've said that the battalion system is our foundation, and I even know that I can't move easily."
"Indeed, some are flaws, and there is no way to be impatient." Zhang Xing nodded in agreement. "But this time the tactical commission of Deputy Commander Xu and Ma was really excellent. At least we should design it from the organizational perspective and try our best to give full play to the advantages of this tactic... I mean, let's not say that the big leader can command the nearby leaders. According to the system before the Wei Dynasty, establish a marching general manager, in charge, and establish a command relationship between the camps?"
The surroundings were inexplicably quiet, and there was a hint of uneasiness in the quiet, and even Liu Hei-biao just touched his nose.
No, Wang Shuyong and Xu Shiren have temporarily established the leader, and anyone can command the action. This thing doesn't matter. Liu Hei-chung seems to need this the most, but he is good at battalion and has obtained the command and independent action of the cavalry early on, and has long become the actual cavalry chief... So, they actually don't care about this. Instead, the leaders below account for the majority. Although some people are moved, more people who perform poorly today, who are not worried about becoming the stepping stone for the marching chief?
Will you lose the command and personnel power of the camp?
"How far is the chief ready to do?" As soon as he thought of this, Xiong Bonan asked the first question.
"The first is that it is the same as the rules of the former Wei Dynasty. It is only temporary measures. It is established during wartime and will disappear after the war; the second is that the regulations should not be too large, otherwise the original intention of tactical cooperation will be lost. The third and fifth battalions and one general manager or subordinates will be allowed." Zhang Xing said with a verbal speech. "Thirdly, since we need to strengthen the connection, we cannot just serve as a title... When the marching general manager is in charge, he has the right and responsibility to conduct statistics and report on the performance of the battalions under his jurisdiction, including the generals, who are preparing to promote and demote the military achievements and losses of the first level in the battle formation. As long as there is a marching general manager, he must also be signed by the marching general manager."
When they said this, the courtyard finally couldn't hold back. There was a lot of discussion between the torches and braziers. Everyone still didn't understand that the system in charge of this marching general manager was going to be real.
Even a few experienced leaders have shown their looks. No matter what, if you want to be a leader in the future, you only need to speak in the army, so you have to go up from this step first.
For a moment, Liu Heibao, Xiahou Ningyuan, Wang Xiongdan and others were inevitably proud, which was in sharp contrast to the uneasiness of the other leaders. After all, Chief Zhang's prestige was beyond doubt. No one could refute what he said in the army.
There was only one Kan Ling in the courtyard for a moment, and he was determined to make it clear to the other party that he was a guest army and had military achievements in this battle, but he was unwilling to be under the jurisdiction of anyone... But then he thought about it, if the overall situation was like this and it was difficult to refuse, would he let Wang Xiongdan be his supervisor?
Just as he was thinking, Zhang Xing, who was sitting in the center of the yard, had already spoken: "What is the specific candidate? I mean, listen to everyone first, who is convinced by everyone, you can discuss later and tell the king of heaven... But even so, I also want to remind you that if you have specialized in military affairs, it is impossible for you to report to whatever you report. I, the king of heaven, general manager Xu, and general manager Ma, have to make a decision at night, and there will definitely be adjustments in the end. When general manager Xu really publishes it, he will have to implement it according to the military law and no discount can be made!"
Kan Lingxiao got the key and wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing kept saying: "But before that, I will give you a recommendation... No matter what, today's top meritorious leader Kan Ling must be a marching general manager."
Everyone was uproared and went to see Kan Ling, who was caught off guard... But then they realized that they were here to win over him, but they were alert and had a little more ridiculous attitude. How could he be a mere person whose reputation could shake?
Since this is the case, why not take advantage of ordinary things?
As soon as he thought of this, the man simply accepted it with great enthusiasm: "Chief Zhang and I have three or five camps, I will be able to strengthen it!"
Seeing this, the generals around couldn't help but feel speechless - they didn't think that he was an outsider. The spearmen from the Huaiyou Alliance had three generations of people, and their combat power was not bad, and they were not bad. But this guy was so straightforward, and he was too arrogant. Even if the Huaixi soldiers had great achievements today, it still made people feel uncomfortable.
When Zhang Xing saw the other party's reaction, he laughed, then stood up and looked around, saying with confidence: "Brothers, we really can't win today's battle, but there is no need to be frustrated by this... Why not look at the heroic spirit of Leader Kan and learn from him?"
The leaders around looked at Kan Ling's eyes worse and worse, and Kan Ling noticed the attitudes of these people, but instead remained impressed.
Zhang Xingze took the opportunity to say: "Brothers, in my opinion, we have our shortcomings, weak soldiers and uneven combat power, but we have our strengths. Generals dare to fight and lead by example. Can they be considered a separation? Who didn't go to the yard to kill in person today? It's like Feng Yan, who had his legs broken and his back broke in person for the first time. Now he is captured, we will bring him back no matter what. People have already sent him to discuss, so I can use Xue Ren to exchange it. Although he is powerful, he is nothing compared to our brothers!"
This is a high-sounding sentence, and even if you really think that Xue Ren and Feng Yan are not worth it, you will only nod and agree with it with your thoughts.
"And our soldiers are also good. Although their combat experience and skills are a little poor, they are united and disciplined." Zhang Xing's voice became louder and louder. "In today's situation, if it were other soldiers and horses, they would have been broken when they retreated. We can hold on and not disintegrate, and then counterattack in the central army. It either depends on luck or our soldiers know in their hearts that they know that the Ming Dynasty is one with them, so they dare to fight and are willing to fight!"
"What the chief said is that the boys are all good boys!" Han Erlangteng stood up. "As long as such a good soldier fights two more, he will be stronger than the soldiers on the opposite side! How can he dislike them?!"
This is the same thing as some people, but it is true that sincerity and high-soundingness have attracted many leaders to applause, and Zhang Xing immediately applauded and approved.
Immediately, the chief continued to encourage: "There is another thing that I just saw after the seizure. Their equipment is actually not as good as ours."
People around them are inevitably surprised.
Xu Shiren also said solemnly: "I haven't seen their equipment weak?"
"It's not that I've seen many captures. Apart from the specific elite, the ordinary soldiers of the Guanxi Army have almost no decorations." Zhang Xing said seriously. "To put it bluntly, they are pragmatic, but we are all people in the army. How can we not know that as long as a soldier is competitive and has the idea of fighting, he always wants to distinguish his clothes and armor from others and be brighter... Everyone, either their economic foundation is not as stable as us, or the soldiers are not allowed to punish them."
"good!"
"That's what it means!"
"That's right!"
"In fact, it's not just the foundation. In this battle, our logistics and reinforcements should be more flexible than them!"
"The further you go, the easier it is to fight!"
The atmosphere in the courtyard finally became warm.
Not to mention how Zhang Xing made a "ten wins and ten defeats" to stimulate morale on the spot, on the other hand, Xue Ren, who was broken legs and tied with his arms tied with his arms, was lying in the "dormitory" located in the west of Wencheng City... He was always very excited.
Yes, Xue Ren has been very excited.
He was excited that his leap forward today, and he jumped into the hall to become the General of the Central Army. Even the dignified king seized the Xue flag of another General of the Central Army to become his vanguard on the spot. He became famous since then. He was also excited that he repeatedly rushed to break the formation and suppressed the generals, and was very happy; he was even excited that he had an arrow in the air in the end... Even if he did not shoot to death and injure the chief in order to achieve great success, he could be exchanged for three masters and the Grand Master, and he was also the most powerful two in the world who fought for him personally, which was enough to make him inexplicably!
Even now, he was equally excited to have his legs broken and placed here!
I just thought that Zhang Xing would come to persuade him to surrender later. If he only gave him a leader, he would hesitate for a few days before agreeing. If he gave him a leader, he would agree now... and then he asked the other party not to speak out and allow him to go back to his hometown in Hedong to get his family... At that time, if he was a leader, he would go away and go straight into the large military camp in Guanxi; and if he was a leader, he would discuss with his wife and make a decision.
Of course, this excitement did not last long, and he became even more excited because it was still noisy outside, so Yuchi Rong dragged him with a dark face - tied him up from his thigh with a big red cloak and a rope, then wrapped his body over his head, and dragged the cloak away from the house, followed by seven or eight white riders on both sides, without helping to lift it.
In this regard, Xue Ren could certainly understand Yuchi Rong's rudeness. Chief Zhang summoned him so early, obviously because he was eager to seek talent. The black guy fought with him for an afternoon and couldn't recover. Later, he withdrew, and he must have hated him to the core. It is normal to seize the last opportunity to take revenge.
It’s just the last bit of hardship in this life. Haven’t I ever suffered? I will be the leader immediately! I only have one day since I entered the house and then went to an important official!
With this excitement, Xue Ren realized that he was being dragged out of the city, thrown onto a donkey cart, driven through the battlefield that became rugged and complicated because of the war, ran through the depression with bloody smell and the jingling armored soldiers. Then, with some obviously impatient conversations, he suddenly realized something - he was replaced by the Kansai army!
It was obviously a good thing, but Xue Ren felt cold all over. As the sound of the wheels squeaking and twisting, he struggled from the ox cart, leaned against his shoulder and stood up, trying to see the person in the car opposite - a military general who was obviously injured and had a pale complexion due to blood loss. At this time, he leaned on the car and also looked at him, but his expression was abrupt.
I seem to have some impression, but I don't know the foundation.
But no matter what, Xue Ren doesn’t understand. What kind of person is worth exchanging for his own unique courage in the future?
How can you help me so ignorant of heroes?
The cloak was untied and the rope was cut. Xue Ren tried hard to sit up. Looking at the gang members who walked back without hesitation, he couldn't help it. He turned his head and asked the general who was riding on the horse behind him: "Who is that person? How can I change me easily?"
The general immediately, that is, the eldest son of Bai Hengqiu's confidant general Liu Yanji, and the general Liu Yishi of the Central Army, naturally felt that the other party was rude, but after all, he knew that this person was favored by the emperor and was not easy to care about, so he replied in a muffled voice: "Feng Yan, Feng's Wulang of Changle, who was shot in the formation today, was caught when the front line was shaken."
Knowing that he was a mere defeated man, but he was a famous descendant. Xue Ren, holding Che Shi's hands, was so angry that he trembled.
This situation was not until the brightly lit Central Army tent was gradually eliminated. Emperor Bai personally came down, and while encouraging and praising his performance today, he used his true energy to straighten his broken bones. Then he saw that the military doctor bandaging the splint was not counted. He also found a master of immortality to help him moisten his leg injuries and continued to attend the meeting.
That’s right, the Kansai Army is also having a meeting here.
"Where did you just talk about it?" After taking care of Xue Ren, Bai Hengqiu was a grandmaster and was a little tired for a moment.
"Oh, talking about formation." Bai Hengyuan, who stood in a cold eyes, came back to his senses and quickly said. "I can see clearly in the central army today that we are actually a vanguard formation, and we did attack, but we can't say that the army was just passively beaten, because they are actually a crane wing formation, which is a constant change of formation defense... In this sense, the thief is actually very pragmatic. He came in a fierce momentum at the beginning, but he had long known that his soldiers were weak and because they were flat ground, so he made this formation. However, their trick at the beginning was too big, and we suffered a loss, which made us ignore his formation and return in vain later."
"What do you mean?" Bai Hengqiu asked with a frown.
"Of course we need to adjust the formation." Bai Hengyuan said seriously. "The crane wing formation is most afraid of not being able to extend the formation. As long as we can cross their formation and send a team of troops to attack its flanks, there will be no situation where the attack arrows enter the formation but cannot be broken..."
"Will the crane wing formation be there in the next round?" Si Qinghe was a little puzzled.
"As long as they are still mainly defense, the Crane Wing Array may still be very likely." Bai Liben explained, but he also raised his own questions. "It's just how the Rangers stretch? The battlefield is so wide, just between the Qinshui River, and they are also prepared. Liu Hei-chan has been swimming on the flanks with four battalions of cavalry."
"That's simple. Either you should concentrate your cavalry and defeat the opponent's cavalry in person, and rely on the cavalry's victory to complete the flank encirclement... or, use our advantages of Shishan and Hanoi County City to send troops from the other side of Qinshui to attack them unprepared. They must have enough floating bridges in Anchang, and then cross the river from there to complete the side attack." Bai Hengyuan said with confidence.
"The truth is understandable, but there are still some problems." Liu Yangji said with a twisted whisker. "If you detour, the distance is long and the noise is very important, so it is difficult not to be discovered. As long as we are discovered, will it be a matter of burning the floating bridge with fire? If the cavalry in front of you decides, it seems appropriate, but the place is too narrow, you will quickly defeat the opponent's cavalry and can truly reach the opponent's flank? In the Qinshui River, there is Anchang City as a fulcrum as the fulcrum, and the army is about to set up a large camp, and there is no room for side attacks at that time."
"General Liu's words make sense, but aren't you going to fight now?" Bai Hengyuan sneered. "We don't win a great victory. How can we force Zhang Sanzhe to take action? If Zhang Sanzhe doesn't take action, how can we draw out the power of Your Majesty and make a move to determine the world?!"
Liu Yangji also smiled: "Mr. Bai said this, as if I don't want to hit me, I don't want to hit me. What's the point of being a 23-member male member in the family here? Isn't this the best way to find?"
"I naturally know General Liu's loyalty and courage, but the current situation is that the battlefield is in a hurry, and the other is that the thief is definitely not Yi and he can't always think about asking for full blame." Bai Hengyuan paused and said earnestly.
To be continued...
