Chapter 151: The Faith of the Chinese Army
Hong Chengchou hoped that King Qin's strength would be greatly damaged after crossing the mountains and mountains, but the fact was that although the number was smaller, it was far from a big loss of strength.
After five days of climbing mountains and wading through rivers, there were only more than 3,000 people missing, and more than half of them were guards, mainly engineer battalions and five combat battalions.
Every day, when the soldiers are rested, there must be fewer people anyway, and the devil knows when these people left and where they went.
However, to Qin Yu's relief, there were very few infantry and women who escaped, and even fewer young men from the personal guard battalion.
As for the young soldiers, under strict supervision, they can't escape even if they want to.
Qin Yu didn't dare to be careless, these guys were people in the mountains, and they fled back secretly, could it be that he could still kill them back, and asked their family for food and silver?
And as long as they stay away from this area, these teenagers will definitely not be on the run, and they will definitely follow him to the end.
For the three thousand heroes who escaped, Qin Yu was not distressed at all, and wished that they would get out of the house as soon as possible, if they didn't get out now, they would roll out when they lost the battle, which would be even more terrifying.
As the saying goes, a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge, and it's these guys.
After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and what those guys say on their mouths on weekdays is called a good one!
It seems that all of them are righteous first, loyal, dare to fight and kill, and when they eat wine and drink meat, they almost blow the cowhide out of the sky, and dig out their hearts to show him King Hua.
So Qin Yu couldn't tell who was a real hero and was willing to follow him, and who was a bear and a bear, who was here to eat and drink.
As the so-called road knows the horsepower, after this march, coupled with rumors that the officers and troops are chasing and intercepting, greedy for life and afraid of death, half-hearted people, they will naturally be eliminated.
If an army wants to be really invincible and dragged down, it must have faith, and Qin Yu still knows this.
But he doesn't believe in the lofty belief of saving the world and saving the common people, and he doesn't know how to make his subordinates believe it.
So it's still more realistic, and he Hua Wang does it, the short-term belief is the wine and meat woman, and the long-term belief is the story of Lao Liu and Lao Zhu, and I will figure it out by myself.
Too much nonsense, pick up the key points.
After climbing over the mountains, the army finally came to an open place, and there was a faint official road and a larger town not far away.
Qin Yu was a native of Hubei in his previous life, and he had come to Wudang Mountain and Danjiangkou more than once or twice, and he knew that in fact, the straight-line distance from Zhushan to Yunyang was only forty or fifty kilometers.
"King Xiaohua, is it Yunyang or Junzhou in front?" The Red Oriole looked at the town in the distance and wondered.
"It's not like, Yunyang and Junzhou are not on the edge of the official road, but on the side of the Han River, do you see the Han River?"
"yes, so what is this place? We can't go the wrong way, right? ”
Hongying nodded, and then looked at him with some concern, she is a northerner, and she has long been in the mountains in the past few days, and she can't even tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
"I don't know, but the general direction shouldn't be wrong, let's talk about it when the brother sent to inquire about the situation comes back!"
Qin Yu waved his hand, saying that he didn't know, but he suspected in his heart that the open land in front of him was the urban area of Shiyan City in the previous life.
However, even if he had been to Shiyan City several times in his previous life, looking at the countless small dirt bags in front of him and a small town next to the official road, Qin Yu was not sure whether it was or not.
However, when the person sent to inquire about the news came back and said that Yunyang City was more than 30 miles further ahead, and Junzhou was more than 40 miles to the southeast, Qin Yu was almost 100% sure that this was the urban area of Shiyan City.
"Chief, I also found out from the mouths of nearby villagers that yesterday there was an army of the imperial court moving south along the official road."
"Haha, it must be Chen Hongfan's soldiers and horses who went to Gucheng, the eight kings and Cao Cao really went to fight Baokang, and Xiong Wencan was also recruited."
Qin Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed.
"Don't tell me, you had long expected that Chen Hongfan would lead his troops to Gucheng, so he took everyone over the mountains to fight Junzhou?"
Seeing his expression, the red warbler stared at him deadly, and was shocked in her heart.
"I just made a bet casually, but I didn't expect to really win the bet, and the speed of Xiong Wencan and Chen Hongfan's actions is far beyond my imagination, hehe, now Junzhou and Yunyang are our things to explore."
Qin Yu waved his hand and said with a smile.
"What? You gambled the lives of 30,000 brothers and sisters, have you forgotten what you told me? ”
The red warbler fried the pot, her teeth chattering, and she almost didn't pounce on him and pinned him to the ground.
"Nonsense, can I be the same as you were? You only gambled with your life last time, but this time I only spent some food and broken copper and iron, plus an empty hat, if it doesn't succeed, there is no loss, then Chen Hongfan doesn't leave, we can still raid Junzhou, it's just more casualties. ”
Qin Yu didn't get angry, but patiently explained.
"Then how do you know that the eight kings will definitely rebel? The one surnamed Xiong will transfer Chen Hongfan's soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress? ”
The red warbler rubbed her forehead, thinking about it, and then asked.
In her heart, she was helpless to the extreme, she found that she never wanted to say that she would win this guy, and every time this guy said it, it made sense.
"According to Luo Rucai, Hong Chengchou has secretly transferred troops to Xiangyang, and the eight kings know that their situation is not good, plus Luo Rucai's men and Zuo Liangyu's enmity, they will definitely go to fight Baokang.
And once the Eight Kings descend and rebel, Xiong Wencan, who soothed him, will have to walk around without eating, and the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and he will inevitably want to destroy the Eight Kings as soon as possible.
But there are not many soldiers and horses available in Xiangyang City except for the guards, and the Qin army that has just been transferred is Hong Chengchou's henchmen, and he may not be able to command, so in the end, in addition to transferring Chen Hongfan to wipe his ass, who else can he rely on? ”
Maybe it was because he saw that she was still loyal and reliable, and he wanted to cultivate her, or he wanted to show off in front of all the leaders, so Qin Yu was very patient.
Sure enough, when everyone saw that King Hua was so resourceful and expected the enemy to take the lead, they couldn't help but have a trace of awe in their eyes.
"Brother, then should we fight Yunyang or Junzhou first?" Niu Er said with a smile, making up his mind that he would follow Qin Yu in this life.
Everyone else also watched King Hua rub his hands, obviously he had suffered a lot in the mountains for a while, and it was time to enjoy it.
"I think it's better to plan together, Xiaohua Wang, you take someone to fight Yunyang, and I will fight Junzhou."
"Yes, yes, brother, why don't you sit here, I'll fight Yunyang, and the red girl will go to Junzhou."
"Chief, and me, I'll take my brothers to Dajun County."
Hongying was speechless and endless, Niu Er and Qin Tie suddenly hurried, and the other leaders were even more clamoring.
"It's so arrogant, how many times has Lao Tzu told you that the arrogant army will be defeated! The proud army will be defeated! ”
Qin Yu almost died of anger, and suddenly roared with a black face, seeing that she lowered her head, and the others also stopped shouting, only then did he wave his hand and slow down his tone.
"Brother Niu, you and I went to raid Junzhou overnight, Niu, you and Qin Tie will take the others to take down that town first, and go there to rest tonight."
"Yes!"
All three replied with their fists clenched.
At this time, it was already approaching dusk, Qin Yu did not delay, after giving the order, he and Niu Er took 5,000 soldiers, 1,000 young soldiers, 1,000 infantry, 1,000 engineers, plus 300 female soldiers, and rushed to Junzhou to kill.
It's not that he is willing to go far, but Yunyang is almost surrounded by the Han River on three sides, plus there are Yunyang guards in the city, and there are many gentry and big families, which is definitely much more difficult to bite than Junzhou.
