And Huang Wenyuan and Hu Tianyi on the side were all completely confused! Looking at the Gongsun Sword holding a sword and a pair of ethereal clothes, the two of them felt cool in their hearts. Huang Wenyuan said in his heart, fortunately, I am from Gongzi's side, otherwise I might not know how to die. And Hu Tianyi thought that he was fortunate to shrink Jin Longwei's investigation in time, and did not fight against the other party, otherwise it was really possible that there would have been no bones left.

Not to mention Hu and Huang, just Han Dewei, the vanguard officer of the Wu army, felt that he should go to calculate a hexagram before going on the expedition. After conquering the border pass of the Zhou State in one fell swoop, he actually encountered such a thing as the earth dragon turning over (the code name for ancient earthquakes). When he finally got up from the ground under the escort of his own soldiers, he found that the front half of the Wu army camp had collapsed.

Fortunately, the situation is not very serious. In fact, the main reason is that the amount of gunpowder in Gongsun Jian's hands is limited, and the excavation tunnel construction is not skilled. Han Dewei hurriedly asked people to maintain order and beware of enemy troops taking the opportunity to steal the camp. But then a series of explosions interrupted his order completely.

Ding Feng rushed into the Wu army camp with a hundred people, each carrying two grenades. After igniting it, it was thrown at the place where there were many Wu soldiers, and after throwing it, he did not kill the enemy, but set fire everywhere. He also shouted words everywhere that made the opposing army disheartened.

For a while, the entire barracks of the Wu army's forward were completely chaotic. And Gongsun Jian stood not far away and watched quietly. I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing: "It's still a hot weapon!" It's a pity that the technical capabilities are limited. Otherwise, why would the master fight you like this. ”

The chaos continued until dawn. At this time, the forward battalion of the Wu army was already in disarray. Huang Wenyuan, who was in charge of counting the battle damage, came back to report.

"Childe, more than 1,600 enemies were killed in this battle, and nearly 1,000 people were captured by the other party. However, many of them were wounded soldiers of the Wu State. Our own losses are okay, more than 20 sergeants were killed in the battle, and there are less than 40 wounded, and all of them are slightly wounded. ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, and then ordered: "Leave not one prisoner behind, fill all the big pit." We don't have so much food and grass to feed, and it's not convenient to take care of it. ”

"Huh?"

Not to mention Huang Wenyuan, who was born as a civil official, even Hu Tianyi on the side was stunned. This master's heart is too hard, right, a thousand captives will kill if they say they will kill?

"Lord Gong, the killing of prisoners is unknown!" Hu Tianyi opened his mouth and persuaded.

Gongsun Jian glanced at him angrily, and said in his heart that he couldn't take care of these captives now. Six hundred men were guarding more than a thousand prisoners, and they had to march and fight later. That's because I didn't die fast enough!

"Since Captain Hu pleaded, then forget it. All the captives were placed in the custody of the Golden Dragon Guard. ”

"Huh?" Now Hu Tianyi is completely out of temper. Forget it, it's easier to bury them together.

Ignoring Hu Tianyi, Gongsun Jian was sulking at the moment. Such a big explosion, plus a night attack on the camp. actually killed and captured half of the other party's people, and there were still two or three thousand people who escaped. What kind of bullshit is this?

The most critical thing is that the opponent's main general, Han Dewei, also ran away. This is what annoys Gongsun Jian the most, the other party still owes him a lot of wine and meat! As for how he owes it, Gongsun Jian can't remember it. It seems that he asked the other party to ask for it, but the other party didn't pay attention to him, so Gongsun Jian thought that the other party had acquiesced and then repaid the debt.

No, the father-in-law can't suffer if he eats everything. Sooner or later, this account will have to be returned. Otherwise, this will be unhappy!

After cleaning up the battlefield, Gongsun Jian called all the main officers to start summing up. Although it was victorious, the real battle was only the chaotic army that pursued and killed the opponent last night, even if they took the absolute initiative, they still killed more than 20 people, wounded more than 40 people, and let go of half of the opponent's men. In this regard, Gongsun Jian must discuss it with everyone.

First, each of them reported on the battlefield situation, then summed up their shortcomings in command and experience, and then considered how to improve in training and operations in peacetime in the future.

This set of summary mechanism has already begun to be promoted and implemented by Gongsun Jian when the militia was established. Although it is not possible for everyone to become a commander in the future. But these first people will surely become the foundation of his future team. Even if you don't have the ability anymore, after a few battles, as long as you don't die, at least you have some experience, and you can become a gang leader or team officer after you go back and expand. So from the very beginning, Gongsun Jian's intention was to formally train these people and continue it as a tradition.

After Ma Teng, Ding Feng and the others had all summed up, Gongsun Jian turned his head to look at Hu Tianyi.

"Tell me about it."

"Huh?" Hu Tianyi looked confused, it seems that he and you are not in the same system, right? Why do I have to summarize it?

Seeing that Hu Tianyi was stunned and didn't speak, Gongsun Jian said with some displeasure: "What Jin Longwei is good at is spying on military intelligence, tracking and assassination. You led people to attack each other, and you killed three brothers and wounded five. Fortunately, you are not my subordinate, otherwise Lao Tzu would have cut you. ”

Seeing that Hu Tianyi lowered his head in shame and said nothing, Gongsun Jian had no intention of letting the other party go.

"As the captain of the Golden Dragon Guard, you should lead your brothers to ambush the most likely retreat behind the opponent's camp in advance, and then snipe the scattered personnel of the opponent one by one, especially the generals who may escape. The other is to send people to blend in with the defeated army and follow the other party to escape. Find out where the other side will retreat, so that we can point out the direction of our army's next move. And what about you? What did you do? Is charging into battle what you Golden Dragon Guards should do? Rubbish! ”

Hu Tianyi's head pit is lower. What Gongsun Jian said was not wrong at all. I didn't do anything I was supposed to do. And he also damaged his brothers.

"Lao Huang, you write it down. After the war, they settled accounts together. Even if I can't punish him, I will still play the court. However, if he can make meritorious contributions in the future, the matter can also be abandoned. Gongsun Jian ordered Huang Wenyuan with an angry face. And Huang Wenyuan nodded, very cooperative, and interceded for Hu Tianyi. But he secretly picked a thumbs up in his heart, this father-in-law is absolutely powerful. These words were not to suppress Hu Tianyi, but to win over the other party in disguise. First use momentum and your own ability to convince the other party, and then use majesty and means to appease the other party. I believe that it won't be long before this Hu Tianyi is likely to be completely subdued by Gongsun Jian and defected to his account.

After criticizing Hu Tianyi, Gongsun Jian pointed out the shortcomings and shortcomings of several other people, and everyone accepted and learned from them with an open mind. At this moment, Xie Wu came back to report that most of the defeated army of Wu was assembled more than 60 miles away, with a total number of about 1,500 people, and the rest scattered were missing, and it was estimated that they would soon be able to join the main force. The opposing general, Han Dewei, was slightly injured and was fine. Two of his brothers took advantage of the chaos to blend in with the enemy. Now even if the other party is concentrated, it should not be able to attack again, after all, all the supplies and everything have been lost.

After listening to Xie Wu's report, Gongsun Jian glared at Hu Tianyi with some puzzlement, and Huang Wenyuan also secretly mourned for Hu Tianyi in his heart. See, this is the gap! Xie Wu was born as a big soldier, and there were more than ten scouts under him, who were not only responsible for finding out the news for the whole army, but also two of them mixed into the Wu army.

Seeing that Hu Tianyi was embarrassed, Gongsun Jian spoke: "Captain Hu, from now on, Jin Longwei will be merged into Xie Wu's scout team, and you will be Xie Wu's deputy." How's that, no comment, right? ”

"No comment. It's all at the mercy of adults. "Hu Tianyi is completely out of temper, and even his title for Gongsun Jian has changed. Everything in the military is false, and strength is the most important thing. People are better than you and you can do it, so you have to listen to them.

"Lao Xie, do you know where the other party's main force is?" Gongsun Jian didn't care about Hu Tianyi anymore, but opened his mouth to ask Xie Wu about the military situation.

"The letter from the brothers in front of us shows that the main force of the Wu army has just crossed the border and is coming towards us from Zhenyuan Pass. The total strength was about 25,000 men, including about 2,000 cavalry. The group that broke through was about 3,000 men. However, the speed is not fast, and it is expected that we will be able to approach us in five days. ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Jian nodded. Then he looked at the crowd and said, "Let's go." Let's welcome these friends from afar. It's a pity that we've run out of good stuff. The only thing left is to treat yourself with a knife. ”

Don't mention Gongsun Jian's side. It is said that after Han Dewei was defeated by Gongsun Jian's camp and fled, he not only lost half of his men and horses, but also lost all his baggage, grain and grass. The only way to retreat is to retreat along the road from which you came, so as to join up with your main force. Two days later, when they were about to run out of ammunition, they finally encountered the front team of the army exploring the way.

In the tent of the commander of the Wu army's camp, Han Dewei knelt in the middle and cried with tears in his eyes. It's not that the defeat was miserable, it's mainly that it's too aggrieved. He is a person who wants to become a famous general through the ages, but the other party knows how to spell! Without fighting a single battle, he lost half of his men and horses and all his grain and grass.

Kui Wang Sun Sheng, the former general of the Wu Army, looked at the beloved general in front of him who was crying and complaining about his encounter. I don't know if I should be angry or funny. But vaguely, there were some worries about this attack on Zhou State.

As the royal family of Wu State, he is also the commander of this expedition. Sun Sheng still knows a little about his opponent. At least in terms of intelligence sources and reliability, it is much stronger than Han Dewei.

Linshui County was the main strategic target of this expedition. And the officials in Linshui County have long been known to him. A wasted county magistrate who has no power in his hands, a county lieutenant who is a gentleman of a noble family, and a group of veterans. In more than half a year, such a group of people turned a small county town that was previously poor into a prosperous place where money was made every day. The most important thing is the mysterious steel factory.

Sun Sheng had seen the kind of steel ingots bought by the merchants of Wu State, and let his craftsmen also see it. The quality is about the same as the best steel that Wu Guo can produce. The difference is that the output of others is hundreds of times that of Wu. The annual output of Wu Guo is finished in one day. What's more, if people dare to sell such a product, it means that there must be something better in their hands.

According to the report of the secret agent of Wu Guo who escaped alive, when they were purged by the officials of Daolinshui County and the militia group, the opponent's waist knife cut off the blade in their hands at once. You must know that the blades that the spies can wear must be the best kind, and the other party is only equipped with the equipment of the officials and militias. There is no harm if there is no comparison! If one day the entire army of the Zhou State has such an armament, it is estimated that the Wu State will not be far from being destroyed. So this is also the real reason why Wu Guo was willing to agree to Qi State's request to join forces to attack Zhou State this time.

Fortunately, according to intelligence, such steel is only available in Linshui County. Therefore, the capture of Linshui County has become the top priority this time.

Glancing at Han Dewei, who had already finished telling what had happened, Sun Sheng's heart became more and more important to Sun Jian, the lieutenant of Linshui County. The son-in-law of a family can be regarded as a talent if he has this ability. It seems that I really have to take it seriously.

Just when Sun Sheng was thinking about the need to pay attention to Gongsun Jian, a personal guard outside the tent came in to report that there was a person outside the camp who claimed to be the county lieutenant of Linshui County and asked to see him.
