Chapter 610: Change of Commanders
Different from Yan Yao, although Luo Weiran was in the standing army, he was only a general, but whether it was the sensitivity to the battlefield, the overall intention and the grasp of the form of the battlefield, Yan Yao could not compare, starting from Fufeng in Liaoxi, all the way to the city of Helin, he also saw too many skills of the Donghu people, especially the last battle with Lin Cheng, which gave him a deep understanding of this, as Chen Bin's colleagues, both of them were subordinates of Kumamoto, and they could survive until now instead of dying in battle under Lin Cheng, naturally they have different skills. Kumamoto's vanguard army suffered heavy casualties under Wabayashi Castle and was almost wiped out.
Seeing that the situation was impossible, Luo Weiran categorically gave up the idea of intercepting Yuwen Ke, but commanded the three thousand standing troops on the flank to cut towards the battlefield in a strict formation, he had no hope of eating Yu Wenke's tail army, but as long as this gap was sealed, those Donghu people who were still entangled with Xu Yuan could be left.
Yu Wenke, who broke through Yan Peng's block, originally wanted to rush back and kill again, widen the gap, and completely defeat Yan Peng's thousands of Hejian soldiers, but as soon as he saw the other Eastern Army rumbling into the flank, he looked up to the sky and sighed, glanced sadly in the distance, and then resolutely turned his horse and galloped forward. Behind him, the remnants of more than 2,000 Donghu cavalry panicked like lost dogs, and followed Yu Wenke with their horses, completely abandoning their companions who were still on the battlefield.
Luo Weiran commanded his subordinates and resealed the gap in the battlefield. Yan Yao, the division commander of this unit who arrived together, stared at him viciously, if his gaze could kill, then Luo Weiran must have died many times now.
"Luo Weiran, you are waiting to be marched!" He roared under his breath.
Luo Weiran glanced at him, nodded, and said, "I know, but I have no choice at that time, Master Yan, if you follow your method." Now our army, including the commander, must have been completely dispersed by Yuwenke, don't think that they only have three or four thousand people, but for the foot soldiers who do not have a strict formation, fighting against the cavalry is basically self-defeating, and now although Yuwenke has run, we have completely blocked the remaining Donghu people, so. I have a clear conscience. He waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to release Yan Yao.
"Now, I will go with you to the commander, I am willing to receive military law!"
Yan Yao, who had regained his freedom, glared at Yan Yao for a while, and then looked back at the soldiers behind him who were glaring at him angrily, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Okay, as long as you remember that you are a soldier." The merits, let the commander judge, and now we will go. ”
The scene that happened on the battlefield just now made Yan Yao extremely frightened. Although he is the division commander, there are 3,000 people here, all of whom are the original standing army of Yan State, and Luo Weiran gave an order. They restrained themselves without hesitation, believing that if Luo Weiran had given the order at that time, he would have killed him. They will not hesitate in the slightest.
A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, here, he is absolutely helpless to be relieved by Luo Weiran, but when he arrives at Yan Peng, he can't help Luo Weiran.
Luo Weiran sighed and followed Yan Yao, who was striding in the direction of the river is soldiers.
"General Luo!"
Behind him, some officers involuntarily shouted out, they were all soldiers, and Luo Weiran's actions on the battlefield just now, although he was in power, was a big taboo after all. What's more, these people have a very special identity.
Luo Weiran turned his head and understood the meaning in the eyes of those soldiers, he shook his head and said loudly: "Brothers, a few months ago, we were still slaves of the Donghu people, with no dignity and no personality, and now we are not thinking clearly, and the day is precarious, but now, we have become soldiers again, and the Gao Du Governor let us pick up weapons and go back to the battlefield to kill the Donghu people, we must be worthy of the Du Du, no matter what I do, you will be here to the death, and you will be stuck in those surrounded Donghu troops." If you let one go, you can't stand me. ”
Listening to the resoluteness in Luo Weiran's tone, some officers' eyes couldn't help but turn red. Naturally, they all understand the regulations in the army, and they know that if they are according to military law, Luo Weiran is really a dead word.
But as Luo Weiran said, they finally saw hope, what can they do now? Rebellion? Maybe they can defeat the soldiers of the Hejian County behind them, but what about later? Go to the grassland to be a rogue, they are infantry, not horse thieves, here to be a rogue, I am afraid that if I don't wait for others to fight, I will starve to death, not to mention, Gao Dudu's reinforcements are already on the way, this battle, the Eastern Army can be said to be a complete victory, if they rebel at this time, they will only fall into the encirclement of the Donghu people in vain.
Yan Peng was busy at this time, he was not a mediocre talent, but he couldn't adapt to this kind of intense war, Yuwen Ke broke through the siege, he knew that it was impossible to violate, and he didn't have the idea of moving over to pursue at all, at this time, he was reinvigorating his troops and horses, and then laying out the defensive line, he had already made a mistake once, and he couldn't make it a second time.
"Peng'er!" The shouts from a distance made Yan Peng frown, turned his head, looked at Yan Yao who was striding towards him, and said coldly: "Uncle, this is in the army, and I am now the commander of the second army." Hey, what's going on, why did you kidnap Deputy Division Commander Luo? ”
Yan Yao waited until Yan Peng's army, then he turned his face blatantly and ordered to follow his own soldiers to tie up Luo Weiran.
"Peng... Oh, Commander Yan, the enemy thieves were strong before, I wanted to lead the flank troops to insert behind you, arrange the second line of defense, stop the enemy thieves, and then fight with you back and forth, and capture Yuwenke, the thief chieftain, but Luo Weiran, violated the military order, and even launched a mutiny in front of the army, instructing his cronies to arrest me, this bastard, I now suspect that he is a spy of the Donghu people, otherwise, he would not have watched Yuwenke escape. ”
Yan Peng's eyes widened, looking at Luo Weiran, he finally understood that the previous insertion of the flank troops was not his uncle in command, but this Luo Weiran, who had always been very low-key. His heart thumped, and with an order, Luo Weiran was able to arrest the commander of this division who was justifiable, which showed that in the past six months, his uncle Yan Yao had not grasped the actual power of this division at all.
"Commander, according to military law, Luo Weiran beheaded the public in front of the battle to set an example." Yan Yao looked at Yan Peng, whose face suddenly collapsed, and said loudly.
Luo Weiran bowed his head and was silent, obviously, he didn't intend to defend himself.
Yan Peng suddenly laughed, strode to Luo Weiran's side, untied the rope for him with his own hands, and then bent down deeply towards Luo Weiran, "General Luo, I want to thank you." ”
Luo Weiran, who was already ready to take responsibility and accepted military law, was taken aback by Yan Peng's sudden move, and hurriedly turned sideways to give Yan Peng this salute, "Commander Yan, what Division Commander Yan said is good, what I did is not tolerated by military law, please punish the commander!" ”
Yan Peng shook his head, "If you really do what Master Yan said, now we are already full of corpses here, not only Yuwen Ke wants to escape, but I am afraid that Yuwen and those Donghu foot soldiers who are pulling behind will escape, and the situation we have worked so hard to lay will come to naught, if this is the case, I, Yan Peng, will become a sinner, I want to thank you, it was you who saved the situation and saved me." ”
He smiled bitterly, "But even so, when the governor comes, I will ask him for guilt, because I didn't know the enemy and commanded improperly, so I let Yuwen Ke escape." ”
"Peng'er, what are you talking about?" Yan Yao was shocked.
Yan Peng turned around, "Uncle, from now on, your position has been relieved. ”
"What? You want to remove me? Yan Yao looked at Yan Peng incredulously, "I'm your uncle, a brother in battle, a father and son soldier, have you forgotten what your eldest brother told you?" ”
"I didn't forget!" Yan Peng said: "But I am the commander of the Second Army of the Northern Field Army of Zhengdongfu, and I must be responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of brothers under my command, Division Commander Yan, from now on, you will take over the Fourth Division of Yan Yao's Army." Your mission is to defend me at all costs. He turned back with a wry smile and looked at the soldiers of Hejian County who were still reorganizing their formation, "They are only afraid that for a while, they will not be able to exert their maximum ability, and they have been chilled by the battle just now." ”
Luo Weiran was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, straightened his chest, and stood straight beside Yan Peng, "Weiran will live up to the trust, but teach a Donghu soldier to rush my position, and Weiran will come to see me!" ”
Yan Peng nodded, "You go, those Donghu people broke my defense line in the first battle, and Yuwenrui, who was pulling behind, might come back with a second blow, they expected that we would be a soft persimmon here." Looking at the Hejian soldiers behind him, Yan Peng's expression was gloomy, and he looked at his Hejian soldiers drill lineup, changing formations, and Xu Yuan's first army did not seem to have any gap, but when it really came to the battlefield, the difference was big, and the Hejian soldiers were still missing a spirit and spirit, and they lacked a will, and they were exactly like that.
Seeing Luo Weiran striding away, Yan Yao couldn't help but be furious, "Peng'er, are you dizzy?" ”
Yan Peng looked at Yan Yao coldly, "Uncle, when this battle is over, you can go back to Jishi City, my father is also short of manpower, you go back to help him!" “
Yan Yao was immediately angry, "Okay, you actually helped outsiders, okay, I'll go back, I'll talk to your father about today's events, and see how you explain to him." “
Seeing Yan Yao rushing away angrily, Yan Peng smiled bitterly, "Yes, I do want to confess, but not to my father, but to Gao Dudu." ”
In fact, as Yan Peng expected, Yuwenke's success made Yuwenrui see hope, he gave up defending the ferry, but gathered a thousand cavalry on the pontoon bridge, plus more than a thousand cavalry left under his command, and launched another attack in this direction. But this time, what he encountered was not the soldiers of Hejian County, who had not fought many battles, but the standing army of the former Yan State, which was holding back its strength, and was now recruiting the Fourth Division of the Second Army of the Northern Field Army of Dongfu.
Yu Wenrui was bleeding in front of Luo Weiran, these standing troops of Yan Country were originally the elite of Yan Country, the essence of a country, how could they be so easy to deal with? Even though hundreds of corpses were left in front of the Fourth Division, the lineup of the Fourth Division still stood tall. (To be continued......)
