Chapter Ninety-One: The Adjutant General Arrives
Feng Ju took fifty soldiers and three Jiaodong prisoners to search the mansions of the powerful in Gaomi County three or four times, but he couldn't find any trace of Ma Ning.
In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the school captain's mansion and report to Bai Mingzhe.
"General Nanzhong, Ma Ning may have left the city." He sighed and said honestly.
"Searched them all?"
Feng Ju nodded, "Well, even the homes of the people around Haoqiang have been searched. ”
"This coward, running faster than a rabbit." Bai Mingzhe drooped his face and scolded, "It seems that you have to prepare to attack Jimo." ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Jimo City, alas...... At the beginning, Le Yi's coalition forces had never been attacked, and I really wasn't too sure. But fortunately, although I am not Le Yi, this guy is not Tiandan. ”
If he had faced Tian Dan, he would have shook his head and left Jiaodong County.
Whoever loves Hetian is on the line, he doesn't want to!
He faced Tian Dan in the same way that an ordinary mage faced an assassin in a god costume.
Then, he raised his head and smiled at Feng Ju, "I remember that there are still three thousand children of the Liang family in Yan Kingdom, where are they now?" ”
"Back to the general, I was worried that something would happen here in Gaomi, so I deliberately separated the infantry and cavalry, personally led a thousand cavalry, gave up all the baggage, and hurried to the horse in a hurry." Feng Ju bowed his hand and bowed his head, "As for the three thousand children of the Liang family of Yan Guo, they are expected to arrive in three days." ”
Bai Mingzhe was grateful, patted the other party's shoulder, and said, "Jun has done a good job, and he is worthy of being a soldier trained by Lieutenant Qing!" If it weren't for the hasty march, I'm afraid that in three days, I would only see my corpse. ”
"The general is serious."
"Okay, Jun traveled overnight and went through a tragic battle, he must have been tired for a long time, go down to eat something first, and rest and rest."
"No!" Feng Ju was not hypocritical, and withdrew directly.
In the past ten days, he has been spending almost all the time, as Bai Mingzhe said, he really needs to rest.
After Feng Ju left, Ye Chuping held a bamboo slip and walked in quickly, "General Nanzhong, according to the orders of the public, the casualties have been counted. ”
"Read!"
"No!"
"Whoa!" Ye Chuping opened the bamboo slip and began to read the data on it.
"The rebels began to attack the city on October 12, and on the morning of October 15, they were completely defeated by the soldiers of the Yan State."
"After three days of fierce fighting, our army killed 6,519 enemies and killed about 2,225 soldiers."
"Among them, Liang Guoshi killed 2,878 enemies, killed 512 in battle, and the others were all injured to varying degrees."
"The temporarily recruited peasant soldiers killed five hundred and eighty-two enemies, killed one thousand one hundred and twenty-six in battle, and left eighty-three, all seriously wounded."
"Lieutenant armor, ninety-three enemies were killed, seven were killed in battle, and the rest were slightly injured to varying degrees."
"Ranger, the number of enemies killed is unknown, twelve people were killed in battle, and the rest of the people have already carried the corpse of the dead ranger and left with Wang Meng."
Bai Mingzhe's face was full of regret and regret, "Why did Wang Mengxia leave, didn't I arrange for him to rest in the guest house?" Alas, it's a pity, I would have liked to have a drink with him. ”
Ye Chuping comforted: "General, before Wang Mengxia left, he left a sentence: I am willing to use my remaining years to pass on the business of heroes, Taiyuan Jun, and meet again."
Bai Mingzhe clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Great, it seems that he has already understood the way of heroes."
Glancing at the bamboo slips, he ordered, "Continue to read about the casualties."
Ye Chuping's eyes wandered over the bamboo slips, and he continued to read the specific circumstances of the deaths, "Shang Jia and his entourage participated in the battle with five hundred and ninety-three people, and Haoqiang participated in the battle with thirty-eight people, a total of six hundred and thirty-one people. Among them, about 744 enemies were killed, 481 were killed, and the others were all injured to varying degrees. ”
"The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom killed three hundred and twenty-one enemies, with zero casualties. After entering the city, due to the small resistance, thirteen people were unfortunately injured, and the others were uninjured. ”
In the end, Ye Chuping looked at the last set of data marked with black ink, and gently bit his lower lip with his teeth, his eyes were red, tears swirled in his eyes, and he sobbed slightly, "Trapped in the camp, the enemy killed is unknown, the preliminary estimate is that there are more than 1,800 people." ”
He paused, his voice was loud, and he said a painful data, "Eighty-seven people in the camp were all killed in battle!" ”
This method of expression was written on the bamboo slips after he and Zhang Bo passed the qi.
In his opinion, only Jiang Mancheng, Sima Hu, Niu Gao and other eighty-seven death row prisoners are worthy of being called soldiers in the battle and soldiers in the camp!
And those dozens of Liang Guo soldiers and more than a dozen lieutenant soldiers are not worthy of being counted as soldiers in the camp.
The will to fall into battle, with one enemy and ten, there is death and no life!
The records of the death row prisoners are already comparable to Zhao Bianqi, Qin Ruishi, Wei Wushu, and Qi Jiji, the four great heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Bai Mingzhe's mood was heavy, his eyes were red, and he took a long breath, "Whew, nearly two thousand enemies were killed, and they all died in battle." ”
"General, the corpses of the soldiers trapped in the camp have been collected."
"I see. Let people prepare good coffins at once, and I will bury them! ”
"No!"
Ye Chuping was about to turn around, but suddenly thought of something, quickly turned around, and asked: "General, when the burial is heavy, how to make the battle flag representing the trapped camp?" Is it to use Jiang, or to use Sima? ”
Bai Mingzhe's face was undiminished, and he groaned, "No, no." Find someone on the battle flag, sewing a tiger and a wolf. From now on, as long as there is a day of the Nanzhong Army, there will be a day of trapping the camp! Trapped in the camp, a place where tigers and wolves gather! When Jiaodong is calmed down, I will select 800 brave men and re-form the trapped camp! ”
"No!"
Ye Chuping gave up his hand excitedly!
I'm afraid that from today onwards, all the soldiers will be proud to join the trapped.
"Uh...... Chu Ping. Bai Mingzhe suddenly thought of something and stopped again.
Ye Chuping: "???"
"If the children of the Mo family arrive, immediately bring their leader to see me. Jimo City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I need them to make some siege equipment. Also, find a few people with shrewd brains, go to the surrounding counties, and try to buy some sulfur. ”
If the gates could be blown open with black powder, there would be no unnecessary sacrifices.
As soon as the city gate is broken, the cavalry rushes to kill in front, and the infantry follows closely.
"General, do you need to prepare saltpeter and willow charcoal?"
"Yes! It's still that requirement, the more the merrier! ”
"Got it." Ye Chuping nodded, put the bamboo slip on the desk, and hurriedly ran out.
……
……
Four hours later, the sun sets and the moon rises.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......"After the nine dusk drums sounded, the city gate of Gaomi County was tightly closed.
About another hour later, the west gate of Gaomi County suddenly sounded the sound of horses' hooves running, "In Gada, Gada, Gada." ”
After a few days of rapid marching, the soldiers of Yan Guo were already numb to the sound of horses' hooves.
The people in charge of defending the city held torches and looked at the more than thirty cavalrymen rushing in the distance.
Raising his hand slightly, he motioned to his comrades to cheer up.
More than 30 people on horseback could not shake the hearts of this group of Yan soldiers who came out of the bloody rain of war.
Seeing that the other party was less than 300 steps away from the city, the city guard lay on his stomach at the head of the city and shouted into the distance, "Who is coming?" Get your name in! ”
As soon as the man on horseback at the front raised his hand, everyone behind him stopped.
"Appeal !!"
"Phew!"
"Appeal !!!"
The noise of noise broke the silence of the West Gate.
Amazingly, the range where this group of people stopped was just outside the range of the bow and crossbow.
"Looking at the costume of the defenders at the head of the city, it should be a soldier of the Yan State, and it is estimated that General Nanzhong has already controlled Gaomi County. Li Jie, with my warrant, they open the city gates! ”
"No!"
This soldier named Li Jie, with his back to the sunset, galloped over, "Gada, Gada, Gada, Gada." ”
When he reached the city, he pulled the reins sharply, "Phew! ”
He raised the warrant high and shouted, "I am Li Jie, a personal soldier under General Li Fu, the right deputy general of the Southern Zhong Army, quickly open the city gate and welcome General Li Fu and General Su Jian into the city!" ”
"Do the people under the city have tokens?"
Li Jie shouted, "I have the warrant of General Li Fu, the edict of His Majesty!" ”
"Put it in the basket, we need to check it!"
"Yes!"
About a minute later, the west gate of Gaomi County was opened.
Head of the city
The person in charge of guarding the city said to his subordinates beside him: "Immediately ride a horse and go to the captain's mansion to inform General Nanzhong, and say that General Li Fu and General Su Jian have entered the city."
"No!"
Outside the city
Li Jie rode his horse and returned to Li Fu's side, "General, the door has been opened." ”
Li Fu smiled at the strong man next to him, made a gesture of please, and shouted, "Brother Su, please!" ”
"Haha, Brother Li is outside, the city gate is wide enough, let's go into the city together!"
"Good!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, while flicking the reins in their hands.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
"Gada! Gada! Gada! ”
Under the cover of the noisy horses' hooves, the two men rushed through the city gate and reached the interior of Gaomi County.
As soon as he entered the city, Su Jian's brows immediately furrowed, he arched his nose and sniffed, "What a big smell of blood, it seems that General Nanzhong has done something great here." ”
Li Fu slowed down his horseback, looked at the ground, and sighed, "Looking at the blood stains on the ground, I'm afraid there was not a fierce battle." ”
He raised his head and asked a soldier next to him, "Where is General Nanzhong?" ”
"It's in the Captain's Mansion!"
"How to get there?"
Because there is no distinction between the inner and outer cities of Gaomi City, it is relatively simple to point in the direction, and the soldier pointed to the main road due east, and replied in a loud voice, "All the way to the east, about eight hundred steps!" ”
Li Fu looked at the east and said, "Brother Su, let's go and see General Nanzhong first, and then let's rest."
Su Jian had no objection, nodded and agreed, "Yes!" ”
The two agreed, and flicked the reins again.
"Drive!"
"Drive!!"
"Gada! Gada! Gada! Gada! ”
More than 30 people galloped away in the direction of the Captain's Mansion.
