Chapter 563 The invisible hand that controls the situation of battle
Bi Yingyuan and You Yuanming maintained a certain military nature in the rotten inland army in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but they have also been following the tide and covering their heads and mixing officialdom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They believe that Marquis Wen Cheng must have been extremely angry when he reprimanded the Song army for being unbearable, and he must have hated the civil and military bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty to the extreme, so that he would put aside the wisdom of being an official and the rules of officialdom, regardless of offending a large number of bureaucrats, and denounce the army for corruption, which was also a euphemism and denounced the collective degeneration of the Great Song Dynasty rule and harmed the people and sought death.
This behavior of Marquis Wen Cheng is undoubtedly extremely stupid, not only for himself, but also for his family, which survived the war and finally rose.
However, at this time, Bi Yingyuan and You Yuanming were deeply aware that what the Great Song Dynasty needed most was not for the bureaucrats to abide by the so-called rules of officialdom. The rules of bullshit officialdom wisdom that the bureaucrats consciously abide by can only make the Great Song Dynasty decay and perish step by step. Only with more officialdom fools like Wen Chenghou can the country prosper, especially on the current battlefield, if the generals and commanders are foolish officers who do not flee from the battle and are loyal to their duties and resolutely lead the army to resist, then the camp will not be easily broken, and if it is broken, it can also beat the bandits out.
Marquis Wen Cheng also once said: "War is fought with overall strength, and it is the collective courage and will that fight, not by the courage of some people to win, otherwise the army will not be normal." ”
At this juncture, if the subordinate officers are not afraid of death, the soldiers will have morale, so why not be afraid of wishing ten thousand years and ten thousand husbands, and wishing the family to be brave and fierce.
But the truth is not.
The vast majority of commanders who led troops abandoned their troops without a fight and slipped quietly, without even the slightest scruple about harsh military justice. The hearts of the soldiers are shaken, how can they fight bravely?
Bi Yingyuan was boiling with anger, he had never been so angry about business, he had never had such a sober understanding of the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had never been so disappointed.
I was worried about how the defeat would affect my official career, how the wife and children's family would fall into hardship, and the heavy burden on my shoulders that I couldn't breathe, etc., all of which were left behind, and the extreme anger and burning anger made Bi Yingyuan just want to swing his sword and die here bravely, living up to his mission as a heavy general in the army, and the rest are all fucking.
You Yuanming was also so angry that he felt that his chest was about to explode, his nostrils were spraying with anger, his blood-red eyes were staring, his hands were clenched tightly, and he obviously wanted to fight hard.
But just when the two of them were about to take the lead in playing with the bandits, the first to point out that the dynasty and the 1,000 soldiers of the Mahan Second Division, who were also ordered to lead their subordinates to block the enemy and gather in array for the army to win time and space, could no longer withstand it, and retreated one after another.
Ma Han hurried back with blood all over his body and reported: "Deputy Marshal, the Chinese army lacks bows and arrows, and cannot quickly and severely damage the thieves to stop the momentum of charging and killing. The dogs abandoned the army and fled. There was a lack of commanders and commanders. The army has no fighting spirit, the people are panicked, and it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in the chaotic and inconvenient camps. Withdraw. Retreat outside the camp to appease the morale of the army and reorganize the team, even if you can't fight back and fight back, you can at least keep your military strength. Forcibly staying in the camp and blocking it in such a scattered manner will only increase casualties in vain. ”
Bi Yingyuan shouted angrily: "Fart." ”
Morale can be boosted, but not vented. At this time, once withdrawn, the entire army is not completely dispersed?
After scolding Ma Han, Bi Yingyuan felt sorry for this brave young man at a critical moment.
Look at the bad situation in which more and more soldiers gather around them are frightened and have no will to fight because they can't see their main officers and superiors, and see that the soldiers who are separated by dense tents and scattered everywhere and completely fall into passivity are constantly slaughtered by the bandits. He couldn't help but snort heavily in annoyance, and ordered weakly: "Just according to Mahan's words." Withdraw. ”
Retreating, even if the army completely collapses and flees, is better than a large number of soldiers who die in vain in vain in such a scattered camp, at least the people who have escaped are still there.
"Deng Wu, Wang Duo?"
"The end will be."
"The two of you take a hundred horsemen to inform the soldiers of the left battalion, and lead them to meet ten miles outside the rear camp. Jiang Zhong and Lu Yuanji, the two of you take a hundred horsemen to the right camp. ”
The four generals obeyed the order, and each shouted to a group of cavalry: "Follow me." "The bandits who led the cavalry to break through the way blocked the attack and went to the left and right camps.
Ma Han said: "Deputy marshal, leave the dynasty and me in charge of the break." We've talked about it beforehand. ”
Bi Yingyuan cherished the second junior general, afraid that such a good and rare officer would lose, but there must always be a brave officer who is responsible for the break, and at this time, he can't be hesitant and soft-hearted, nodding and admonishing: "You don't have to fight to the death." ”
A smile appeared on Ma Han's bloodstained face, and he whispered a few times: "Thank you for the care, deputy marshal." The end will know what to do to benefit both sides. “
After speaking, Bi Yingyuan ran back to the blocking position in a rare smile at this time.
You Yuanming said: "Deputy marshal, you take a hundred cavalry to lead the Chinese army to withdraw, and it is also convenient to gather soldiers along the way." I took a hundred cavalry to deal with the thieves and horsemen after the break, and helped the dynasty Mahan to block and pursue. ”
At this time, he was responsible for the broken queen, not to mention the courage of the uncles and nephews of the Zhu family, it was difficult to deal with the siege of many bandits, and most of the generals after the break were more than lucky. After You Yuanming took the initiative to break off, he could see his heart.
Bi Yingyuan was a lot more moved in his heart, his eyes were a little moist, and he hugged You Yuanming heavily: "Brother, please take care." ”
The rough and straight You Yuanming smiled and said, "The head has fallen off the bowl and has a big scar." No big deal. ”
said that in a hurry, a hundred cavalry rushed to the two of the dynasty and the two men to block it.
Bi Yingyuan suppressed his troubled and impulsive thoughts, and ordered the Chinese army to retreat to the rear camp with him.
At this time, with the general quality of the old soldiers and the army system in this era, the officers and soldiers lacked a large number of officers to lead the command, and it was already Qin Ming Huang Xin's one-year efforts to reorganize the army without collapsing and escaping.
Bi Yingyuan easily took the Chinese soldiers away from the rear camp quickly.
What he didn't know was that the six commanders of the three battalions on the left and right and more than half of the heads of the capital heard that the front battalion had fallen and the situation was not good, so they sneaked away with their henchmen as soon as they heard that the front battalion had fallen and the situation was not good. The third battalion had long fallen into a leaderless situation. It is some grass-roots captains who still have a sense of military responsibility, and they are all stubbornly summoning and leading the soldiers to retreat or stick to food and grass while fighting.
By this time, the more than 8,000 officers and men who had come to suppress the bandits, including those who were dead and wounded, had a total of only about 6,000 who were still in the barracks. If these soldiers can stay, they dare to fight, at least they can abide by military law and be obedient, and they are also a valuable achievement of Qingzhou's army reorganization.
The other 2,000 or so people are all ruffians in the army, and their martial arts are not necessarily bad, and many of them are still able to fight the sergeants and pawns, but they are all very slippery, bullying the weak in the army, currying favor with the officials, playing scoundrels on the streets, bullying the people, and playing women to engage in extortion, all of them are extremely experienced and good hands, and they are very bold and courageous, and they shrewdly shrink as soon as they fight, and as soon as the camp falls, the killing sound of the bandits in the front camp is earth-shattering, and these officers and soldiers immediately follow the officials or listen to the wind and smear oil on the soles of their feet.
Bi Yingyuan listened to the persuasion, resolutely and quickly retreated, and promptly received the soldiers who had been defeated by the left and right battalions, and converged with the rare soldiers who were still holding on to the rear battalion, which prevented all the soldiers of the three battalions from being killed or fleeing indiscriminately.
When Bi Yingyuan learned that all the six commanders had fled, the first feeling at this time was not anger but shock and fear, and he couldn't help but rejoice that his retreat was too right and timely.
Camp this.
Wang Dynasty and Ma Han saw the Chinese army moving quickly away to the rear camp, the two looked at each other and smiled, there was a cunning light in their eyes flickering in the dim and flickering lights, and they made a gesture in unison, and dozens of cronies and heads around them began to exert their strength violently, all of them were double knives in their hands, slashing like a whirlwind, bursting out with terrible lethality and bravery.
The two led the infantry army. As grassroots leading officers, they don't have war horses themselves, let alone subordinates and cronies.
A thief rushed towards Mahan with a spear and a prancing horse.
Ma Han sneered, shook his body skillfully to avoid the collision of the war horse, and when he reached the side of the horse, he casually cut off the thief's spear, and the other knife followed with a wave to cut the thief's eye into two sections, and then he didn't need to help, he turned over on the horse's back as soon as he jumped over, and he didn't need to control the horse with his hands, and he controlled the horse steadily with only his legs.
As soon as he got on the war horse, he was even more brave, urging the horse to rush and kill, ignoring the general knives and guns, and the double knife slashing and stabbing showed a terrible sharpness, and no one could stop the thieves who collided with him.
The dynasty also killed a thief and rode a horseman, and his combat effectiveness immediately doubled, and he rushed to kill Ma Han together, mainly for his cronies and subordinates who could ride horses.
The partial general You Yuanming led the cavalry to fight with a sword, although he desperately rushed to kill, but the more the besieging bandits killed, the more they killed, they couldn't finish killing, and gradually fell into the group of thieves. Many of the cavalry were wounded or killed in the indiscriminate stabbing and slashing of the bandits. You Yuanming himself was protected by heavy armor to avoid serious injury, but the parts that could not be covered by the armor were also injured.
Just as they were in danger, the besieging thieves suddenly became chaotic.
You Yuanming took a peek in his busy schedule, and saw that the second junior general of the dynasty Ma Han led a group of cavalry to kill the oncoming thieves like a violent wind and rushed over.
He couldn't help but be shocked: these two young people who are usually silent are so strong and brave?! The ability to lead the troops is really shocking, the subordinates are infantry, and the two of them can actually train such a brave and good elite cavalry?
As soon as he was distracted, a brave thief seized the opportunity to stab You Yuanming in the ribs with a shot, You Yuanming came back to his senses, and wanted to parry and dodge but it was too late, and his life was not guaranteed. Ma Han saw it, raised his hand in time, and the knife in his hand flew out and pierced the thief's chest accurately, penetrating very deeply. The thief's eyes shot fiercely, and he was extremely unwilling to plant his horse.
You Yuanming escaped death, broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't help but glance at Ma Han gratefully, and used his strength to kill the thieves around him, and put down several of them with a few knives.
Dynasty Mahan quickly broke through the siege and rushed over.
Mahan swept away the thieves, dismounted and withdrew the thrown knife, and in an instant turned on his horse. Wang Chao exhaled and beckoned, "General You, we can withdraw." ”
You Yuanming was protected by the two young generals, and he had to watch from a distance, and saw that the Chinese army and soldiers led by Bi Yingyuan had disappeared, and he also knew that after the break, this little bit of soldiers and horses could not stop the bandits coming in like a tide, and if he delayed again, he was afraid that these thousands of precious brave soldiers would be trapped and die in this one.
He nodded and shouted, "The whole army will withdraw with me." ”
In the roar, he took the lead, urging the horse and dancing the knife to bravely open the way in front. One of the Dynasty Mahan was in the middle, and the other was broken, and he led the cavalry with his cronies to lead the cavalry with heavy losses to rush out of the encirclement, chasing after the subordinates who had been ordered to retreat in an orderly manner under the leadership of the head of each capital.
The thieves were afraid of the brave battle of this army of officers and soldiers, and did not dare to press closely, and followed the pursuit, but in fact they let them leave quickly. This is also the reason why Zhu Biao, who led the troops and was responsible for attacking the Chinese army in the camp, was not at the scene. Otherwise, with Zhu Biao's arrogant and strong temperament, he has an absolute advantage in troops, how can he easily let go of this officer and soldier?
Zhu Biao was on the side of the Chinese army in Zhu Wannian, and at this time he was leading the capable thieves and Liu Qi and Liu Lin brothers to fight viciously.
It turned out that when there was an accident in the front camp, the Liu brothers who were lying in armor and clothes got up when they heard the alarm, put on their helmets, and went out of the tent with weapons.
Facing the danger, it is not that the little brothers are loyal to the court to remove the thief, but they are purely blinded by the father's hatred in their hearts for a long time, and they want to avenge their father, forgetting that the old mother at home is worried about them on the day and day, and they don't know how to report safety to the family in Qingzhou for more than a year, just thinking about revenge and then going home to comfort their mother, the war is finally coming, they are eager for revenge, and this is more about looking for Zhu Wannian to fight. If Zhu Wannian didn't show up tonight due to injury, then at least one or two of the Zhu family's dragon and tiger biao would have to be killed to relieve their hatred.
For this, they did not hesitate to fight with their lives.
Because they know that this is the only chance to get revenge quickly.
Benefactor Qin Ming and Huang Xin chased and killed Qingfeng thief Kou and never returned, I am afraid that Zhongji has encountered a poisonous hand. The Peach Blossom Mountain bandits attacked the camp at this time when the officers and soldiers were without owners and easily broke the camp, and the officers and soldiers were bound to be defeated. With this defeat, I am afraid that the anti-bandit operation will be completely over.
Without the convenience of officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, how can they kill Zhu Wannian, who has thousands of bandits, no matter how brave they are?
Without the tiger general Qin Ming, how can the Qingzhou army in the future beat the Peach Blossom Mountain bandit Kou supported by the brave Zhu Wannian Zhu Biao,
With the conceited bravery of the Qilin brothers, they can't fight Zhu Wannian and Zhu Biao.
The Qingzhou army changed its commander, but I am afraid that the successors will not treat them like Qin Ming and Huang Xin, who are righteous enough and willing to fulfill their wish for revenge. If you miss the fighter this time, and don't take advantage of Zhu Wannian's injury and the decline in strength, I'm afraid that there will be no chance to take revenge in this life, so wouldn't it be in vain to wait for a year in Qingzhou?
The more the little brothers thought about it thoroughly, the more anxious their hearts became, and they collided in the dim and chaotic camp, but they really saw Zhu Wannian, and they were surprised to kill them madly, and they also put their lives in a desperate situation. (To be continued.) )
