Chapter 321: Follow the Trend
Although one of the hundred households was injured by the enemy general, for the Yuan soldiers, this time the defensive battle of the sentry camp was undoubtedly extremely successful, and the more than 2,000 people who came to sneak attack were less than 300 people left when the iron bull retreated.
For many of the officers of the Yuan Army, it did not matter how many losses they had on their men as long as their side was victorious, because they had absolute confidence and certainty that they would receive enough merit and rewards from the imperial court to make up for these losses.
What's more, such as the hundred and thousand households in the sentry camp, they will take many displaced people into their hands and send them to death, so as to get enough benefits into their own hands.
The consequence of various reasons was that when Mu Chong led hundreds of people to pursue the retreating Red Turban Army, the injured Baihu did not even count the casualties of his subordinates at the first time, but directly ordered the left and right to immediately support him to the Chinese army camp behind the sentry camp to report this victory.
Yuan soldiers and hundreds of households touched the treasure-like city defense map in their arms on the road, revealing a very complacent expression.
Although the surprise attack launched by the Red Turban Army almost cost him his own life, the result was extremely satisfactory to him.
As a hundred households with a very low military rank, it was difficult for him to directly cross his immediate boss to meet the pioneer general Gong Buban on weekdays, which was the reason why he did not present the Runing City Defense Map to his boss for a long time.
He knew in his heart that once the thousand households on his head knew about the city defense map, it was very likely that his fate would be the same as that sloppy man who was killed by himself, not only would he not get any benefits, but he would also easily put his life and future into it.
But at this moment, the situation is completely different, from beginning to end of the battle outside the camp, he is the only one who is commanding the Yuan soldiers to fight, and those and other hundred households are far away from the rear and dare not go out of the camp, so no matter how many hands and feet they do, the credit for this victory must have their own.
To be able to go with Qianhu to the pioneer camp to meet Gong Buban and report the results of the battle, it is enough to say to him, what he lacks is such an opportunity to face Gong Buban directly.
As long as he personally handed over Runing's city defense map to Gong Buban, then it would be impossible for Qianhu to grab a penny of credit from this matter, so that he could get a reward, and then trample the extremely greedy Qianhu under his feet.
This mentality of the Yuan soldiers is almost applicable to any non-Han Yuan court officer, because they have never taken the Red Turban Army established by these Han people into account.
Although the Yuan soldiers suffered heavy losses in this war to quell the chaos, these generals also regarded them as incompetent subordinates, or their own carelessness of the enemy, and no one really regarded this group of rebel thieves who suddenly appeared as a big trouble.
When Mu Chong, who pretended to pursue the Iron Bull, returned with his troops, he was not questioned by anyone, because everyone knew that the pursuit of the enemy was just a formality, and it was just a small addition to the merit book.
Really catch up with those red turban thieves who don't want to fight to the death? That's what only stupid people do!
An hour later, Mu Chong, who led the pursuit, returned to the camp gate.
After Mu Chong turned over and dismounted, not only did no one ask him if he had expanded the results of the battle, but only got the white eyes of another Yuan soldier Baihu who did not benefit from this battle.
Because if Mu Chong hadn't saved the Baihu and allowed him to live to receive military merits, then the victory in the war outside the camp could be left to the rest of the officers to divide up.
Mu Chong quickly figured out his bad face towards him, and he only felt funny in his heart, and pretended to be stupid and confused: "My lord, forgive me, that gang of red turban thieves ran too fast, I was worried that the enemy would set up an ambush, so I took the brothers and retreated." ”
"Phew! You are a soldier, not even a ten-commander, what qualifications do you have to lead hundreds of men to pursue the enemy? Get out of here! Don't be an eyesore here! ”
After receiving such a ridicule, Mu Chong was relieved and returned to the military tent where he was alone.
Mu Chong knew that what he left on Tie Niu's body was just a skin injury, as long as it was dealt with in time, it would take less than ten days and half a month, but it was that Liu Futong......
Mu Chong narrowed his eyes when he thought of Liu Futong, Guan Duo and Pan Cheng are Liu Futong's real descendants, and Tie Niu is a well-known subordinate of the Holy Maiden, and he has a lifelong friendship with Wen Xuan......
This is most likely why Guan Duo and Pan Cheng's ability to lead the troops is by no means under the Iron Bull, but Liu Futong handed over the task of fighting to the death to the Iron Bull, which made Mu Chong smell a trace of the dark smell of power.
That's it, let's wait for Wen Xuan to come back, and now we still have to carry out this chain of plans......
After Mu Chong walked outside the tent, he temporarily threw away all kinds of thoughts, opened the door curtain, and found that several people inside were standing in the tent in an orderly manner, waiting for him to come back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are ......"
Without waiting for Mu Chong to say more, several people immediately rushed up and said hello to Mu Chong: "Little brother, you have such good skills, we are really blind!" ”
"You saved the Lord of the Hundred Households this time, and the Lord of the Hundred Households has made such a great contribution, he will definitely promote you more in the future!"
"Phew! Say what to say in the future? Lord Baihu has already gone to report the results of the battle to General Gong Buban, and it is estimated that he will reward Brother Mu Qi when he comes back in a while! ”
Mu Qi was the pseudonym that Mu Chong casually reported to them yesterday, and Mu Chong naturally knew in his heart that they suddenly had such a purpose for stammering, but he still continued to pretend to be stupid: "What about the one-eyed military master?" Why didn't you see him? ”
"Alas, the Captain Ten is dead! was stabbed through the body, and when he died, that good eye was not closed, and he was really a dead eye! ”
Mu Chong nodded: "It's a pity that I have a fate with that military master." ”
When the remaining five Yuan soldiers heard this, their eyes immediately lit up: "Little Brother Mu Qi, if you want me to say that after tonight, you can at least replace him as a ten-master, and then I will follow you!" ”
"Ten-Captain? Don't forget, the guard next to our Lord Baihu is also dead, if you want me to say that Lord Baihu will definitely treat Brother Mu Qi as a cronie in the future, that is a life-saving grace! ”
Mu Chong smiled and waved his hand: "A few words are serious, how can I have that blessing?" ”
Several people were about to continue to praise Wen Xuan, but they saw the Yuan soldiers who had returned from receiving the merit and opened the curtain and walked in.
Several people immediately shut up and saluted, and Mu Chong hurriedly turned around to salute.
Baihu smiled and said: "No need to be polite, if you hadn't rescued me today, I'm afraid that I would have become the ghost of the red scarf thief!" ”
