As the head of the defender was picked up by a spear, the defenders of Nanguan surrendered.

With Nanguan as a stronghold, Luo Qiong also led another four songs to settle in Nanguan, and the prisoners were cleaning the battlefield when he came.

"Battalion Governor, the defenders of Nanshan have fled!"

Tian Xinzheng was inspecting the first level, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't want to rush to report it, so he followed to see, and saw that the Cao army stationed in Tunnanshan to watch the battle was gone, and there were only a few flags left that were still blowing.

When he came back to see Luo Qiong, he said: "Right Junzheng, you choose 100 Ruishi to explore Nanshan, you must be cautious." If the defenders flee, set up our battle flag! ”

Luo Qiong's face was surprised, he shouted excitedly, and hugged his fists: "Get the order!" ”

As the commander of the first battalion, Tian Xin is not qualified to interfere in the evaluation of military merits, which is the position of the military leader, supervising the army, and protecting the army.

Tian Xin's only responsibility is to watch from the sidelines, and to rule out the occurrence of extremely bad phenomena such as cutting off the head of the robe and taking meritorious service, and if there is a lawsuit for the first level of military merit, then the case will be decided together with the military officer. Basically, the merits can be ascertained on the spot, and those who take meritorious service generally end up beheading on the spot and purging military discipline.

The battle time was short, the scope of the battle was concentrated, and the Yidu battalion barely had the atmosphere of a standing battalion, so the military merits were quickly evaluated, and the original meritorious army was also written.

After Tian Xin reviewed and saw that there were no mistakes, he took up the pen and signed it and kept it on file by Junzheng, and began to copy copies to report to the rear.

In this battle, his overall feats were to ascend first, break through, behead generals, cut flags, and capture 232 people; There is also a personal martial arts, that is, the third level of beheading soldiers, the fourth level of the first class, the first six levels, and the total number of beheading generals is fourteen levels.

In addition to his own personal beheading military exploits, his personal military exploits are also counted on his head.

And his own minor and serious injuries are not counted, and only the seven who were killed are counted, then his prisoner figure is 232 minus 7, and the surplus is 225.

After the seven fallen soldiers made a register, a special person was arranged to burn the ashes on the spot, while the fallen defenders dug a large pit to bury them, and their heads were loaded into trucks and transported to the rear for Liao Hua to be examined.

After finishing these things, Tian Xin had a meal and rested.

He kept his armor on his body, drank water and ate fried soybeans, and carefully studied the meritorious military book in front of him, calculating his promotion vacancies.

In the final analysis, the Yidu Battalion is a county soldier subordinate to Yidu County, and the soldiers are from barbarians, and it is also the army that Guan Yu has recruited and mobilized only when the war is tense.

Once the situation is stabilized, there is a high probability that such a military force will be disbanded or significantly reduced.

Guarding against barbarians and learning the military system and tactics of the Han army is something that many people are doing consciously and unconsciously.

It has been a long-standing tradition to hire Yi soldiers as servant soldiers, and the conscription of barbarians into the Han army system is another situation.

As a middle-level military officer, he now commands 1,005 troops, and he has accumulated one-third of the surplus from captives and beheaded, and he has been promoted to one level.

The head of the sergeant, the head of the officer, the head of the general, the first to ascend, the achievement of the military order, the beheading of the flag, and the captured materials have different conversion 'points', and about to build another Nanguan, you can save enough for promotion and meritorious service.

This is also his first battle, and now the officers and sergeants in the battalion look at themselves differently than before.

Will you consolidate the results when you see a good situation, or will you pursue it again?

After all, there are still two battalions of soldiers newly recruited from Lingling County and Wuling County in the Jingcheng camp.

When he hesitated, Geng Jaw came to report: "Battalion Governor, the right army has entered and occupied Nanshan. ”

Tian Xin grabbed a handful of fried soybeans in his hand, walked out of the pergola, and sure enough, he saw the battle flag of the Jingzhou Army fluttering on the top of Nanshan Mountain.

Cao Jun's Han Army battle flag is a black border with a red background, Jingzhou Army is a red Han Army battle flag, and Sun Wu's Han Army battle flag is a blue-edged red background.

Stuffed a few beans into his mouth and chewed: "I intend to take advantage of the victory to attack the two Cao army strongholds in Tanxi and Xiangkou, what does Ji Xian think?" ”

Tanxi and Xiangshui converged into the Han River, and Cao Jun was worried that the Jingzhou Naval Division would go north to block the connection between Xiangfan due to the eastward transfer of the Dengcheng Water Division, so he made many targeted arrangements.

For example, bamboo rafts containing firewood and grass are stored in Danxi and Xiangshui, water villages are set up on sandbar islands formed at the bend of the Han River, and fireboats are also hoarded, and fireboats and bamboo rafts are also stockpiled at the Xuanchi water and the mouth of the Shuishui River in the upper reaches. Once the Jingzhou sailors went north, these fireboats would be able to drift down the river.

Geng Jaw did not hesitate: "Camp Governor, the morale of the officials is strong, and it is time to attack Tanxi and Xiangshui." ”

Tian Xin simply turned around and went to find Dong Hui of the left army, and said bluntly: "I intend to lead the sun and the moon, water and fire to attack the two enemy villages in Tanxi and Xiangkou in the north, and leave the right army to defend the southern pass." ”

Dong Hui asked: "If you pull out the second place in Tanxi, how will you deploy it tonight?" ”

"I have no intention of dividing the troops to hold on, after pulling out the second village of Tanxi, burn the bamboo raft and dismantle the barracks, and our department will spend the night in Nanguan."

Nanguan is besieged here, and there is Xiahoulan's support nearby, and there are Jingzhou sailors who can reach close to relieve the siege.

"Good."

The first battle of Nanguan was fought smoothly, and the soldiers of the sun and moon, water and fire responded violently, discarding the excess military rations and marching to the stronghold of the Cao army in Tanxi three or four miles to the north with only war equipment.

The hills here are low, and Cao Jun has cut down most of the bamboo forests, so the view is good.

Tian Xin rode to the top of a small hill, and the marching group of 800 people advanced on a dirt road that coiled around the hills, winding like snakes.

I saw the two camps of Tanxi and Xiangkou in the distance, one south and one north, about a mile apart; The Tanxi camp is in the south of Tanxi, and the Xiangkou camp is a small water village across the mouth of the Xiangshui River.

The two strongholds ignited new wolf smoke at the same time, and the thick wolf smoke went straight to the sky, and the old wolf smoke had not yet dissipated.

The mouth of the river is flat and surrounded by large vegetable fields reclaimed by the defenders.

Tian Xin's riding skills are very poor, and he still walks with a shield in front of him to lead the Sun and Moon Erqu to attack, and the Tanxi Cao army camp is only more than 100 people stationed, and the intensity of the counterattack is not high.

As in the previous episode, after the shield array was erected, two more than 50 people took out ropes and threw them at the back of the formation, and after the rope nooses were hung on the fence, they were pulled by groups of seven or eight people, and the fence with a depth of less than three or four feet was shaken, tilted, and pulled down under the desperate gaze of the defenders.

Tian Xin only dispatched men left and right, and before he entered the battle, he saw the defenders either jumping into Tanxi and running towards Xiangkou, or discarding their ordnance and no longer resisting.

"Get a win."

"The quality of the items you carry with you has been improved."

Faintly, he seemed to feel that the four-sided Han sword in his hand was slightly heavier by five points, abandoned distracting thoughts, put the sword into the sheath, and said to Dong Hui beside him: "Although Cao Ren Tuwan can shock the world, he has greatly lost the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. ”

Across the Xiangkou camp, you can already see the vast mud and sand palpitation plain in the western suburbs of Xiangyang City, and the green cabbage is so beautiful and charming.

Dong Hui was also nostalgic and proposed: "Camp Governor, the defenders of Xiangkou are shaken, why don't you take a bamboo raft back to Nanguan after the attack?" ”

Tian Xin nodded and smiled: "The prince expects that the defenders will be slack, and I am a little frustrated. ”

Dong Hui just smiled, he didn't expect Tian Xin's courage to far surpass ordinary people, although this kind of courage is not as good as when Junhou and Xintinghou were in their prime, but they are not inferior to Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi and others.

The low fighting spirit of the Jingzhou people in Cao's camp was one reason, Tian Xin's rapid attack on Nanguan, and the delay in seeing reinforcements from Cao's stronghold in the Da Xian Mountain area was also a reason.

Unwilling to be captured or sent to death, the defenders of Xiangkou took the initiative to retreat and burned the bamboo rafts and fireboats gathered at the estuary, and the pontoon bridge was broken.

Bamboo rafts and fireboats were pushed into the Han River by Xiangshui and drifted southward.

"Camp Governor, fireworks are rising from Cao's military camp on Dashou Mountain, and the defenders are afraid that they have fled."

Geng Jaw was meticulously observant, pointing to the sky above the northwest Xianshou Mountain, where a large cloud of smoke could be faintly seen through the mountain forest, and several Jingzhou Army flags appeared there.

Tian Xinyi Xingshan: "I just wanted to personally lead more than 100 sharp soldiers to capture the head, so it seems that I had to retreat back to Nanguan to rest." ”

Dong Hui glanced at Geng Jaw, Geng Jaw smiled bitterly back, and thanked him: "The battalion commander has won successive battles, broken through the second pass village, and forced the enemy to flee again and again, which is really a big victory!" ”
