Chapter 1354: The Han Flag in the World (44) The Four Directions Move (4)
The 3rd Division of the 20th Army suffered a great defeat. The first division in Tianjiaping, Xiyangping, Huangshiping like a bamboo, the Qin army thousands of men and horses were defeated, just half a day to abandon the city and flee, the brilliant victory made the third division as the second wave of attack echelon eyes hot at the same time, the attention to the Qin army immediately dropped several grades, over the first division troops that were being repaired, galloping towards Lubin, the first division has already made the first contribution, they naturally want to take Lubin, with a bigger and heavier credit to press down the first division.
The army of the Third Division, which was advancing at high speed, was seriously disjointed, and the baggage and artillery were all pulled behind by the light cavalry and infantry, and what they never expected was that Xu Yahua, who was in Lubin at this time, was not thinking about defense, but attacking.
Qian Zhongyi ambushed 3,000 foot soldiers on both sides of the main road to Lubin, launched a surprise attack on the Third Division, and interspersed with cavalry, and broke the logistics baggage of the Third Division dragged behind him.
"You bastard, you've lost the face of the Twentieth Army." Li Mingjun, who rushed to Tianjiaping after hearing the news, kicked He Jun, the commander of the Third Division, to the ground with a black face, and pulled out his knife with a choked sound, "Lao Tzu cut you." ”
"Commander Li." Yan Wei, the division of the first division, took a step forward and hugged Li Mingjun's knife-holding hand, "Commander Li, the Han army has its own military law, He Jun lightly advanced the enemy, lost his troops and lost his generals, and his own military law sanctions, and the army commander must not be lynched." ”
Guo Fu, the deputy commander of the Second Division led by Li Mingjun, also grabbed Li Mingjun's hand, "Commander, now is not the past. Commanders in the army cannot kill generals and soldiers at will. Deputy Guo was Li Mingjun's confidant, and his words also calmed Li Mingjun down, and he threw the saber to the ground with a bang.
"Come on, take He Jun down first. has its own military law to clean you up, Guo Fu, you are now going to act as the commander of the Third Division, gather the team, and rectify the morale of the army, but it is just a defeat, it is nothing, this battle has just begun! Li Mingjun gritted his teeth and said.
Finally, the Twentieth Army took a chance to show its face. Originally, it was ready to make a brilliant performance, but the first division fought for strength, and won three fortresses in half a day, and even the military region was extremely surprised by the smooth progress, but this joy had not yet passed, and he was slapped in the face by the third division.
Now Yan Haibo and Ding Wei must be gearing up to come up and replace themselves. The Twentieth Army, which was established after the reorganization of the Western Zhao Army, was led by Li Mingjun, but it was not combat effectiveness. There is a lot of gap in willpower compared with other armies of the Han army, which in itself makes Li Youjun feel a little inferior. After two years of hard work, he felt that the Twentieth Army was no worse than other troops, and what was missing was just some outstanding military exploits. All let the 2nd Division mess up.
In the Tianjiaping fortress, in a house that had been smashed through half of the roof by a shell, the military commanders of the 20th Army Corps above the first level stood up one by one with serious faces, and Li Mingjun looked at everyone with a grim face, even the first division that had just won a big victory was also heavy. They still understand the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost, and judging from the current situation, their victory is not enough to make up for the losses of the third division.
"Army commander, the losses of the combat troops of the Third Division are not large, and now they have gathered nearly 5,000 people, but the engineering units and other baggage troops that are dragging behind have suffered heavy losses, and a large number of Shenji crossbows and the twenty artillery pieces allocated to the Third Division are gone, I think they were snatched away by the Qin army." Guo Fu hurriedly walked over and said.
With a bang, Li Mingjun kicked over a chair in front of him with only three legs left, "Bastard." ”
And they all bowed their heads.
"I will personally command the 2nd Division as the vanguard, immediately set off for Lubin, where today I will arrive. The shame of the Third Division can only be washed away with blood. Yan Wei, can the first division still fight? Li Mingjun shouted in a low voice.
"Commander, the first division can be put into battle at any time." Yan Wei said loudly.
"Very good, the first division is the backup echelon of the second division, and the third division stays in Tianjiaping, Guo Fu, you stay here to reorganize the third division, and once it is completed, immediately go to Lubin, and at the same time, at the same time, send a messenger to the military region to tell Commander Xu that if I, Li Mingjun, can't take Lubin, I will give him my head."
"Army commander, please let the last general lead the second encounter, and the army commander will stay in Tianjiaping to coordinate and command." Guo Fu took a step forward and said.
Li Mingjun shook his head, "No, I'll go in person." Needless to say, this is an order, not a consultation with you, and now it is not a war meeting, but a combat deployment. Let's all go down and get ready for battle. ”
"Yes!" A thunderous roar rang out in the room.
Jiang Fu sat on the ground, put on the clean armor one by one, the previous steel knife was a little curled, this is the best steel knife for the officer, Jiang Fu found a piece of bluestone, poured it with the water in the kettle, and was grinding it there, if you want to do your job, you must first sharpen your tools. For his own weapons, Jiang Fu didn't dare to slack off.
The news that the Third Division suffered a big defeat had also spread at this time, Jiang Fu could see from time to time a group of dejected soldiers of the Second Division retreating from the front, some of them were even empty-handed, and they didn't even take weapons, which made Jiang Fu's heart burst out of the evil fire, fuck it, the face of the 20th Army made them lose everything, when they fought in Lotte Creek, the crab and the entire team of 3,000 people he was in did not lose the last weapon until death, and Jiang Fu still remembers that when he crawled out of that gap, he was touchable, is full of tragic and extremely tragic fighting scenes, although death is not humiliating.
Grinding the knife, Jiang Fu gritted his teeth.
The sound of the military horn sounded steeply, and Jiang Fu jumped up suddenly, it was the rallying call, it was the rallying cry of the first division, and it was about to attack again. Jiang Fu returned the knife to the sheath and strode towards his troops, "Assemble, we're going to attack, let's go wipe the ass of the bastards of the Second Division." He roared.
The troops of the First Division are now scattered in Tianjiaping, Xiyangping, and Huangshiping, and it will take time to assemble, and the three fortresses they left behind will be handed over to the withdrawn Third Division to take over, and when Jiang Fu gathered his troops and squinted his eyes to hand over the defense to the embarrassed 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 already received an order, and this time they were rushing to Lubin as the second group.
Unlike the Tianjiaping Fortress, Lubin's defense system is more perfect, and it is also taller and stronger, judging from the fact that the generals of the Qin army easily defeated the third division, the opponent's generals are also an extremely difficult figure, and this battle is not very big.
Jiang Fu didn't know who Lu Bin's enemy commander was, Li Mingjun knew very well, Xu Yahua, Meng Tian's confidant and favorite general, was once regarded by Meng Tian as his successor, under the fame, there was no vain, just this dared to use 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to attack the strength of a whole division of the 20th Army, you can see this person's courage, you know, the official establishment of each division of the Han Army is close to 10,000 people, even after deducting engineers, artillery, crossbowmen and some other auxiliary arms, the official combat soldiers are as many as 7,000 people.
Sure enough, as Commander Xu said, no matter how elite the performance on the training ground is, it may not be useful, only after a few battles, can you see the difference, at first I thought that Commander Xu was prejudiced against the 20th Army, now I think about it, it is really a golden and jade good words, the third division is usually in training, it is also alive and well, but it is really on the battlefield, the general's arrangement is simply useless, first proud and light the enemy, and then scattered and unable to retract, in fact, He Jun did not panic at that time, regardless of the baggage troops dragged behind, just gather his soldiers, If you persist in dealing with your opponent for a while, you will be able to see through the enemy's weakness, not to mention turning defeat into victory, at least not as badly as you are now. It takes more effort to regain the fighting strength and courage of an army that has been defeated than it is to train them from a rookie to an elite soldier.
Psychological shadows cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.
"Army commander, army commander, command urgent!" Li Mingjun, who was riding a horse, heard the shouts behind him, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart. Le Truce Horse, turned around, and looked at the messenger who came to report the news, "What new orders does the command have?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Commander Li, the headquarters ordered that the Twentieth Army immediately stop attacking Lubin, and the headquarters will return to Tianjiaping Fortress for repair." The messenger gave a military salute on his horse and said loudly.
My heart sank, I was really afraid of something, but it was just a defeat, did Commander Xu lose his trust in the 20th Army?
"Why stop going forward? Our 20th Army is not without the strength to fight. He screamed angrily.
"Commander Li, my subordinates don't know, my subordinates are just giving orders." The person who came was the staff officer of the headquarters, and looking at Li Mingjun's angry face, he said in a low voice.
"Who's going to take my attack? Fifth Army or Sixth Army? "The commander of the Fifth Army is Ding Wei, and the commander of the Sixth Army is Yan Haibo, these two are the old qualifications of the Fufeng Department, the generals of the Han Dynasty, this time, they are also ranked behind themselves as the second echelon.
"Commander Li, as far as his subordinates know, neither the Fifth Army nor the Sixth Army have received orders, and they have not heard who will be sent to replace the Twentieth Army, and the order of the headquarters is to stop the offensive." Staff officer.
"What is this trying to do, Commander?" Li Mingjun was surprised.
Not only Li Mingjun was dumbfounded, but at this time in the headquarters of the First Military Region, Xu Yuan was also angry, the Twentieth Army suffered such a big loss, with Xu Yuan's temperament, if he didn't get back the capital, it was even more uncomfortable than eating a fly, but the person sitting on top of him made him unable to think and have nothing to do, because this person was the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I originally wanted to take down Lubin." He said helplessly.
"It's almost, it shows that the purpose of force has been achieved, there is no need to make more sacrifices, there are some things that can be obtained in other ways." High and far-reaching. (To be continued.) )
