Chapter 2: Sharpening the Edge (Four Times)
A few of them admired Wang Xun's five-body throw, but they didn't know that Wang Xun under the battle flag at this moment was actually a half-bucket of water in terms of commanding operations. Not only did the two groups of horse thieves who defected have nothing to do with him, but even the means used to deal with Arslan, Sejirahu and others were also based on the tricks of the Anxi army to break the Great Food Army a few months ago, and they just drew a scoop according to the gourd.
According to Wang Xun's original copying and copying deployment, the entire battle should be divided into the following stages. In the first step, the lance men lined up to charge into battle and hit the enemy by surprise. In the second step, the light cavalry seized the opportunity and rushed through the gap torn by the lance to disrupt the enemy formation. In the third step, when the enemy's formation completely appeared that the two wings and the center could not take care of each other, the suspicious soldiers he arranged in advance, hundreds of swordsmen led by Qi Dazui and Chu Duyan, would be killed together, interfering with the judgment of the enemy's main general. Then, the real killing move, he led one hundred and fifty Mo swordsmen to step forward and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Several killing moves are interlocking, and they can be regarded as copying the essence of Feng Changqing's day. Who thought that the first move had not yet been completed, and the horse thieves actually collapsed the whole army. The latter "ingenious" arrangements, except for two suspicious troops who played a small role in the process of chasing and killing the enemy, the rest were all left empty. This made Wang Xun feel very uncomfortable in his heart, like smashing a stone with a sledgehammer of hundreds of catties, but accidentally smashed it on a bubble of shit. Although the result of the target was also fragmented, the person with the hammer was so angry and bloody by his own house that he couldn't ease his spirits for a while!
was dizzy by the victory that fell from the sky, and Wang Xun's next command was like a sudden change of person, and there was nothing to praise at all. Fortunately, Arslan and the others had already been frightened and had no courage to turn back. And Yu Wenzhi, Song Wu, Fang Ziling and others are all officers who have been formally trained in the White Horse Fort battalion, even if the general orders sent from the Chinese army do not match the preface, they also know how to accept prisoners and clean up the battlefield step by step. At the same time, everyone did not forget to divide a part of the soldiers and horses to supervise the "friendly army" of unknown origin. so as not to fall short of the whole battle.
When Wang Xun's mind finally returned to normal level, the finishing work of the battle was basically over. Of the more than 2,5700 horse thieves that the scouts had heard clearly in advance, almost all of them were wiped out here, except for the bandit leaders such as Arslan and Sejirahu and a dog-headed military division named Mu Yangren, who each managed to escape with dozens of descendants. However, the number of horse thieves who were beheaded was less than half of the total number, and the rest were all disarmed and taken prisoner.
This made Wang Xun feel a little embarrassed. There were only more than 600 ** around him, less than a third of the captives. If the other party is relieved, it will be difficult to control the situation again. However, killing all the captives is not an appropriate option at this time. one is inconsistent with the military regulations of the Anxi Army; Second, the purpose of his mission is to unite the heroes, and it is not appropriate to show too blood.
"It is better to put aside the matter of disposing of the captives for the time being. Say hello to the person on the other side first! Seeing Wang Xun's hesitant face, Yu Wenzhi stepped forward and reminded in a low voice. If their name is true, I am afraid that they were killed and scattered in the Battle of Talas. If it can be pulled into our team, it can become a big help for you and me in the future! ”
"Them?" Wang Xun hesitated at first, and then slapped his head fiercely, "I owe you a reminder, otherwise I'm really sorry for people." Let's go, let's go together. Whether or not they were separated brothers, at least they have helped us a lot today! ”
As he spoke, he instigated his mount and slowly walked towards the friendly forces on the opposite side, who had been standing still for a long time. He straightened up from afar and thanked him: "Thank you to the brother on the other side for your help." The pacification envoy in the Tang River, Zhonglang will be polite to Wang Xun here! ”
helped but was seen as a thief, Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan had already held back the fire in their stomachs, and when they saw that Wang Xun was young and wore the uniform of a fourth-grade military general, and a crimson cloak was draped behind him, he felt more and more aggrieved in his heart. Immediately, Yusha Qianli arched his hand and responded coldly: "A few lonely ghosts on the banks of the Talas River, it's good not to drag the hind legs of adults, how can you mention the word 'help'." Even if we didn't join in the fun just now, I guess the horse thieves would not be able to escape the palm of the adult's hand. If there is any confusion, I hope the adults will not be surprised! ”
"yes, yes. Please don't be surprised. Otherwise, I really can't afford to wait! Several other former Anxi Army generals echoed one after another, and their eyes looking at Wang Xun were full of provocation.
"Strong enemies are around, so before figuring out your identities, Wang has to be careful. I apologize for the offense! Wang Xun bowed his hand again on the horse and apologized loudly to everyone.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Sha Qianli and the others dodged one after another, but the dark clouds on their faces showed no signs of dissipation.
If these people around him were really the brothers of the Anxi Army who were separated in the Battle of Talas, you can imagine the hardships they have endured in the past few years. And judging from the signs that these people hastily put on their bodies, the highest official among them is just a school captain. No wonder they feel uncomfortable. Guessing the origin of the hostility, Wang Xun smiled and said very calmly: "If it weren't for you and others today, even if Wang could win, he would have to pay a lot of price." As a token of thanks, all the seized goods will be yours. In addition, Wang can also squeeze out about two months' worth of dry food and a batch of armor and weapons for you. If you don't dislike it, you can send someone to pick it up with me right away! ”
"You?" Sha Qianli and the others were stunned for a moment, and then looked angry, "What do you mean by this!" Do you want me to send Hanako away? ”
"A few brothers misunderstood!" Wang Xun gave his hand again very politely and explained calmly, "Wang was ordered to be an envoy this time, and he had a heavy responsibility, so he didn't dare to delay too long on the road." And you and Wang are not subordinate to each other, whether it is to report the credit or command and dispatch, it is inconvenient for Wang to interfere. That's why I'm going to squeeze out some dry food and weapons, and let you return to Anxi on your own. The Anxi Army has just won a battle, and from here to the east, no one should dare to embarrass a soldier and horse under the banner of the Tang Dynasty! ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyelids to look at the other party's worn-out battle flag, not caring at all about the anger of Sha Qianli and others. Everyone was so angry that they almost vomited blood, but they couldn't find fault with Wang Xun's words. After a while, Huang Wanshan sighed softly and took the lead in arching his hand to Wang Xun, "I am looking forward to it every day, that is, to stand under the banner of Datang again." But he didn't dare to be a sentry remnant, and crawled back to Anxi in disgrace. Lord Qincha is so young and promising, so please show me a clear path later! ”
"yes, yes. Since Lord Qincha was able to come all the way here unscathed, he must have seen something superior to others. We are all reckless people, and please give me advice! Sha Qianli also held back the evil anger in his heart and got off the donkey down the slope.
He and Huang Wanshan originally had the intention of contributing to the country again, otherwise they would not have seen the banner of Wang Xun's side and immediately played the same Tang Dynasty battle flag. But first, because of the deliberate vigilance of Yu Wenzhi and others, a few of them felt that their hot faces were sticking to their cold butts. Later, because he regarded Wang Xun as a gentleman who used the remnants of his ancestors to make a name for himself, he was contemptuous. That's why he deliberately spoke coldly, so as not to be too eager, and after joining the army, he was called by Wang Xun to drink.
Who would have thought that Wang Xun had no intention of incorporating their team at all. and also took the initiative to provide grain and grass to send them back. This kind of generous and indifferent gesture made Sha and Huang's calculations come to naught. If they fled back to Anxi in disgrace, they would have had a lot of opportunities in the past two years, so why wait until now? Besides, if he went back quietly like this, how could he get Feng Changqing's attention? If you don't get Feng Changqing's attention, you can't kill the enemy in the next Eastern Crusade of the Anxi Army, and how will you face the robe that died on the banks of the Talas River in the future?
Thinking of those dead robes, the little dissatisfaction with Wang Xun in everyone's hearts became insignificant. Successively surrendered your hand, you said, I said word by word: "Over the past two years, we have been familiar with the mountains and rivers, roads and trails in various parts of the river. If there is a place where Lord Chincha needs our help, just ask. I can't wait! ”
"Yes! It's all about fighting for Datang. What do you do with such a clear point? Lord Qincha does things righteously, and we can't be underestimated too much! ”
As early as when he heard that the other party reported his identity as 'a lonely ghost on the banks of the Talas River', Wang Xun had already started the idea of fighting this team in his heart. It's just that he has been tempered a lot in the past two years, and countless furrows have already been grinded out in his heart, so he used a move to retreat and force the other party to express his position first.
If Sha Qianli, Huang Wanshan and others refuse to be fooled, Wang Xun naturally has a lot of means to steal from enemies or benefactors such as Gao Lishi, Chen Xuanli, Feng Changqing, etc., and use one move to force the other party to comply. In short, this team that has endured humiliation behind the enemy's back for many years has already seen it, and he will definitely not let it slip out of his mouth.
At this moment, he was gradually approaching the goal, Wang Xun sighed, pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "Don't hide it from you, what is waiting in front of Wang at this moment is almost a trap every step. Today's gang of horse thieves are just pathfinders thrown by others. If you take the dry food and return to the east now, there is a good chance that you will be able to return to the territory of Datang safely. If you go west with Wang, I'm afraid the road ahead will be nine deaths and one life......."
"There's something terrible. I waited for this life to be picked up in the first place! ”
"That's it! If there is no risk, I will not be interested! ”
Without waiting for Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan to make a decision, the nearby soldiers expressed their positions one after another. Wang Xun wanted this effect, and when he was about to hug his hands, he made a circle around, "In this way, Wang will thank you brothers." They are all brothers in the army, so let's go straight. Please be wronged under my account for a few days, and after returning to Anxi, all the credit and hard work, whether it is what Wang has not seen with his own eyes in the past few years, or what Wang has seen with his own eyes in the future, will be reported one by one, and will definitely not let half a drop of your blood be shed in vain! Everyone, are you willing to believe Wang! ”
"Yes, yes!" When the soldiers heard that Wang Xun was suddenly full of truths, they felt more and more that this person was reliable and amiable. They all gathered around and responded loudly.
"Two big brothers, are you willing to help Wang!" With the support of everyone, Wang Xuncai turned around and sent invitations to the two leaders, Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan.
"We ....." Sha Qianli couldn't help but feel a little angry, the brothers were eager to try, how could there be any reason to obstruct the leader? The two of us are willing to be the only ones who want to be the first to look forward! ”
