Volume 1, Battle Continent XVII, conquer Qianzhai
"The master of my family is also worthy of you to know, get out, go back and tell your family leader, surrender quickly, my family master, has raised an army of 50,000 people, surrounded this Qifeng Mountain, and if you don't surrender, you will not stay!" After realizing that he couldn't keep this leader, Mok no longer wanted to kill him, but slashed down, and after swinging away the opponent's knife, he followed with a heel, kicked the leader in the mouth and spat blood, and flew out upside down, but saved his life.
Hateful glanced at Moke, and the bandits who were already completely beaten, the leader, immediately beckoned a few bandits, pestered him and ran towards the mountain, he was going to report the news, Qianzhai was at a loss, the other party attacked too fast, they were not prepared at all, otherwise, with the defense of Qianzhai, at least they could block the other party for a while, enough for Dazhai's reinforcements to arrive.
The leader ran away, and Mock shouted: "Your leader has already run, and he will not surrender!" Then the big knife in his hand slashed one by one, hacking to death several mountain bandits who were still resisting stubbornly and seemed to have red eyes.
Seeing that the leader had fled, the bandits also knew that the general trend had gone, and those who were close should quickly surrender, and those who were farther away would turn around and run.
After Chen He arrived with a large army, the front village of Qifeng Mountain had been taken, and the prisoners in one place were suppressed by the soldiers of the forward battalion. And Mo Ke came to Chen He with an excited face to ask for credit: "Lord, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have already won the front village!" ”
It's just that Chen He's face was pale, and he looked at Mo Ke and said, "Mo Ke, how much did the forward battalion lose?" ”
"Ahh Mo Ke didn't expect Chen He to ask this question, and immediately paused, where did he know this, and Chen He turned his head and said: "Huo Miao, count the battle losses of the forward battalion and rescue the wounded!" ”
Huo Mu felt a little pity for his former boss, of course he understood why the lord was so pale, but when he thought of his former boss's temper, he should teach him a lesson, lest he really fall into the enemy camp and lose his life in the future.
"Mock, I don't think you want to be the commander of this forward battalion, don't you!" Huo Miao took the order, and Chen He looked at Mo Ke again and shouted.
He made meritorious service, but was not rewarded, but attracted reprimand, Mo Ke was not convinced, but still knelt down, and then his neck was stalked, looking at Chen He and said: "Lord, you are unfair, your subordinates obviously won the front village, and made merits, but you reprimanded your subordinates so much, and your subordinates are not convinced!" ”
"Injustice? Defy! Okay, today I'll see how you say that you will be unfair, how you are unconvinced! Let me ask you, as the commander of the forward battalion, what are you doing when you attack? After the war, if you don't treat the wounded, settle the dead, and invite merit wholeheartedly, without the lives of soldiers, can you take this Qianzhai alone? What do you do? Chen He looked at Mo Ke and knew that he had used a ploy to capture him and make him surrender, so deep in his heart, he was still unruly.
Listening to Chen He's questioning, Mo Ke suddenly remembered that after a month of training in the military camp, Si Pai warned him several times that the battlefield is not a place for personal martial arts, even if you are a martial artist, you will be tired, so on the battlefield, as the main general, you must be with your own soldiers, one is to improve the morale of the soldiers, where the main general is, is the backbone of the soldiers, and the other is to have the protection of the soldiers, so that you can better kill the enemy.
At the same time, Mok thought of the leader, if there were no bandits around him, the leader would die, but it was because of the bandits around him that he had no way to kill the leader, for the first time, Mok was deeply aware of the word group.
As for the wounded, that is even more of Moke's chagrin, there is a clause in military discipline that the post-war treatment plan, treating the wounded at any time and burying the dead, is the most important, but he forgot it.
"Lord, the subordinates are wrong, the subordinates are going to see the brothers!" Mok is also simply, the people who followed him from birth to death are all his brothers, and he has never neglected his brother in his heart, but this battle, he fought well, so he ignored his brother, and now that he thinks about it, he is indeed wrong, and it is a big mistake.
"Hmph, for the general, since you have made a mistake, then you must be punished! Now dismiss the post of commander of the Mok Forward Battalion, but because it is wartime, you are allowed to make meritorious contributions, temporarily replace the forward battalion, if you make meritorious service again, you will be allowed to reinstate your officer, if you make another mistake, you will never be reinstated! Mock, Ben will be public? Can you take it? Chen He looked at Mo Ke and knew that he must not be soft at this time, this Mo Ke must make him completely surrender, and he must not be a little rebellious in his heart.
"Lord, the subordinates have obeyed, and the lord's judgment is fair!" Mock touched his head to the ground and said loudly.
"Well, go ahead!" Chen He nodded, Mo Ke is a reckless man, surrender is real surrender, and he will not be half-hearted, and after this time, any bit of unruliness in his heart before has been completely smoothed out.
Si Pai watched from the side, and at the same time understood that what his master valued more was not personal force transcendence, but a real general who could lead the army, and he felt that his future would be very bright, because his conceited martial arts were worse than Moke, but he was completely sure of the commander of the army, far surpassing Moke.
"Si Pai, order the Chinese army to take over the defense, give the soldiers of the forward battalion time to rest, and at the same time send someone to contact Zhuang Buqi and Dong Wantu to see their progress!" Chen He commanded to Spice again.
"Ren Hang, do you scouts have any signs of finding the Qi Feng thief unstable?"
"Back to the Lord, my subordinates have already sent someone to investigate, and I believe that news will come back soon!" Ren Hang knew that the Lord was not really asking, but wanted to know if he had followed up on this matter, and now that he had followed up, the Lord would only be happier.
"Okay, as soon as the news comes back, inform the general immediately!" Chen He nodded.
And at this time, Huo Miao, who was in charge of the statistics, came back: "Lord, the casualties have been counted, one hundred and thirty-seven dead soldiers and seven hundred and sixty-two wounded, but as long as they cultivate, the wounded can recover and continue to participate in the war!" In this battle, there are forty-two soldiers who have advanced to elite soldiers! ”
As soon as he heard that the damage was almost half, Chen He's face was very solemn, just a group of bandits, and they were just defenseless bandits, with two thousand regular troops, they actually paid such a big price, so the next attack on the cottage, wouldn't it be necessary to lose more soldiers, this is not what Chen He originally intended, and at the same time, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have let Mo Ke lead the army alone, he was too reckless, if it weren't for his recklessness, steady and steady, there would not have been such a heavy loss.
After all, he can't blame others for his mistakes, Chen He still has a decision in his heart, he must arrange a deputy general for Moke, and the deputy general is responsible for commanding the army, but now he has too few generals, and the only idle point is Si Pai, but Si Pai is definitely the general who commands the army, and it is not suitable to be a deputy general for Mo Ke.
Chen He sighed that he had too few generals, but he didn't want to think about it, he was just a warrior, he had five generals under him, and there were two followers, so he could divide the troops, and try to replace it with someone else, the army had to be chaotic as soon as they went out, so they could only concentrate their forces and lead by themselves.
"Lord, Fang Cai's subordinates also counted the bandits, more than 1,300 were killed, more than 2,000 were captured, and hundreds escaped! In addition, Qian Bao, the leader of the former village of Qifeng thieves, was hit hard and fled! Huo Miao knew that his boss had been reprimanded before, so he wanted to help the boss recover some, so he also counted the number of enemies.
Sure enough, as soon as I heard Huo Miao's report, there were about four thousand bandits, Chen He's originally somewhat cold face softened a lot, and he defeated the bandits with two thousand against four thousand, and also severely damaged its leader, which is also a good record, after all, it is just a group of ordinary soldiers, and the leader is still Mo Ke, but this also tells Chen He that the leader really needs a more stable general.
With the Qianzhai being taken and the Chinese army taking over the defense, Ren Hang's scouts came back and brought news of Zhuang Buqi and Dong Wantu, and the two of them intercepted dozens of mountain bandits respectively, all of whom went to the surrounding area to report for help.
"Well, Ren Hang ordered to go down, do his best to monitor the surrounding bandits, and report them immediately if they have any changes!" Chen He is still more worried about the bandits around him, although he has a lot of troops in his hands now, but after all, their combat power has not yet reached a very high level, once they are surrounded, his losses will be great, what he wants is to train soldiers, not to send them to death!
"Lord, the forward battalion has suffered heavy losses, so please let your subordinates lead the troops to attack next!" After Si Pai arranged the defense, he returned to Chen He's side, hesitated for a while, and then asked for battle.
"Well, Si Pai, don't worry, although it is said that the Qifeng thieves are just bandits, but the combat power is still some, although it is said that two thousand fight four thousand, and they are injured and killed, only half, but after all, they are regular troops, and they are also trained, and this group of mountain bandits, stragglers are just brave! If you kill a Qifeng thief, you will have to pay a huge price, and Ben will rather not pay than exchange the lives of soldiers for victory! Chen He looked outside sorting out the dead and taking care of the injured, and his heart could not be calm.
"The Lord is merciful, but how can there be immortals in war, and this battle can just make the soldiers understand that if you work harder in peacetime, you can shed less blood in wartime!" He was a pure general, he pursued a single battle, and he could be very friendly to his soldiers in peacetime, but in wartime, he required them to obey orders completely.
"Ben Jiang also understands, but in this battle, Ben General's original purpose is to train troops, so he has to fight next, but he can't use the method of siege!" Chen He understood that the method of siege was the most depleting of soldiers, so he had been thinking about how to lure out the mountain bandits.
"Report! Lord, there is news from the Qifeng thieves, the bandit leader gave up the Zhongzhai after learning that the army was surrounded, and retreated to the Dazhai, and the Dazhai of the Qifeng thieves, although the city wall is not high, but it is not tied up by grass and trees, and it is all accumulated from mountains and stones! After Ren Hang got the report from his subordinates, he sent the news to Chen He as soon as possible.
Chen He, who didn't want to use the siege method to consume the soldiers, heard that the other party's cottage was actually built of mountains and stones, so he would not go to the siege, at least not now, first of all, they did not have siege equipment, and secondly, the soldiers did not have the slightest siege experience, even he himself did not have this experience, and it was stupid to use his weaknesses to challenge the enemy's strengths!
