Chapter 5 Merit must be rewarded, and fault must be punished
This group of guards came and went in a hurry, surging and surging, showing teeth and claws, when they went, they were chased and killed by Liu Zhen and other more than 100 Qi troops to lose their armor, wolves rushed to the ground, like mowing grass, the ground was lying on the ground and lying vertically all the corpses, the rest did not run out of the three miles, and the sky began to get dark.
But the fall of night did not change their doom, and only a few miles away from their main camp, it became the end of the world forever.
In the end, when there were still four guards left to escape by the night, Liu Zhen flew away with a volley, and an arc-shaped flash slashed through the night, and the four guards fell off their horses one after another.
This big throwing knife is beautiful!
Bai Qi rushed over with a flying horse to cut off the head, so far the five hundred iron cavalry of the guard, including the main general Dong Xian, none of them escaped the net, and all of them died here.
The battle lasted less than half an hour. Counting the number of people, the Qi army only suffered a dozen casualties.
Although this victory was not large, its significance and impact were far-reaching, boosting the morale of the Qi army, which was the first victory in the two countries in the past few months, and it was also a victory with less, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the guards, and the morale of the Qi army was greatly boosted.
Taking advantage of the night, they picked up some swords, guns, armor and horses, and happily followed Liu Zhen back to the city.
After more than half an hour of busyness, the large camp of the guards has been set up, and the company camp of 50,000 horses is also a huge lineup, endless, and there is no end in sight, and the temporary tents are next to each other, like monsters in the night, staring at the Chaoyuan City in front of them.
The former army commander's big tent, Tong Meng drank tea in the tent, and the deputy general and general waited to accompany him, seeing that it was time for dinner, he felt that Dong Xian and they should come back, and they were about to send someone to investigate, and the reporter ran in in a panic, "The Lord of the Baozhen Army and the generals learned that the big thing is not good, and General Dong and their whole army have ......been wiped out."
"What are you going to say?" Tong Meng and the others all stood up at once.
The reporter told the story again, and the tent was fried.
"Gather the soldiers! Siege now! Kill the chickens and dogs in the city, and let them pay for their blood debts......"
The first battle was unfavorable, and before the battle began, five hundred iron cavalry were lost, and the big sword Dong Xian was also killed, Dong Xian was a fierce general, bravely crowned the three armies, as a part-time general of the standard commander, in charge of five or six thousand people, just like this, there is no return, there is no loss, Tong Meng These people have always been unpopular, proud of their achievements, who have suffered this loss, they have taken the case and shouted.
At this time, a co-ordinator with a yin and yang head under Tong Meng spoke, this person was named Li Ji, Tong Meng's deputy and think tank, and he could be called his arm.
"The town army is slow, everyone is quiet, according to the opinions of the subordinates, it is not suitable to attack the city now, we are coming from afar, the enemy is waiting for work, and it is easy to fall into the enemy's tricks at night, Dong Xian and their halberd is likely to be the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy, it seems that there are masters in the city, otherwise with Dong Xian's ability, the whole army should not be wiped out at such a close distance."
"Master Li has a point. That's right. Makes sense......"
The other deputy generals present also felt that Li Xietong's words had some truth, this place was only 10 miles away from the battlefield, and these 500 people were cavalry, and the whole army was wiped out in such a short period of time, and none of them came back.
Although Tong Meng is simple-minded and has developed limbs, he is still willing to listen to most of the words of this think tank, but the premise is that as long as he does not lose his mind.
"What about you?" Tong Meng asked Li Ji.
"Not only can we not attack the city now, but the siege plan should also be canceled tomorrow morning, and after three days, we will wait and see what happens, and then attack the city, and then if there is a conspiracy in the city, it will be revealed, even if there is no conspiracy, the fatigue of the soldiers of the three armies has been lifted, and the city can be taken in one go."
"General, is three days too long, so if these soldiers abandon the city and flee, won't General Dong and his 500 brothers die in vain? How can we avenge them? "Standard Tong Lu Yu has a good relationship with Dong Xian on weekdays, and he feels that it is inappropriate to avenge his friends.
"Hmph," Li Ji snorted disdainfully, "If they want to abandon the city and flee, they have already fled and can wait until now?" For the sake of safety, it's just a matter of letting them live for three more days, so please think twice. ”
"Okay, it's up to you, in three days, Tong will set foot in Chaoyuan City!" Tong Meng suppressed the anger in his chest and accepted Li Ji's suggestion......
Liu Zhen took the more than 100 victorious soldiers to the city gate with the spoils of war. At this time, the gates of the city were wide open, and countless torches were shining on the city's heads, as if it were day. The soldiers who defended the city came out to greet them, and like the stars holding the moon, they took Liu Zhen and them into the city.
At this time, Liu Zhen's eyes changed, and Liu Zhen suddenly became a big hero in their minds, and the voices of praise were endless.
"The Lord who joined the army is brave."
"This battle was fought so beautifully."
……
Liu Zhen looked at the faces illuminated by the torches so kindly, this was also the first victory he had fought since he was reborn, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart at this time: "Brothers in the army, the guards are not terrible, as long as we share the same hatred for the enemy, we will definitely be able to defeat them." ”
If Liu Zhen had said such a thing half an hour ago, these soldiers would definitely think that he was bragging, but now they are all convinced.
Liu Zhen continued: "Team officer Wang Zhi has made meritorious contributions to killing thieves, and he will now act as your battalion officer and be responsible for guarding the city gates of the whole battalion. Rong Ben joined the army and asked the co-commander to be formally appointed, and from now on you must obey his command. ”
"Agreed! Approve! Obey the ......" a voice of promise.
"Thank you for joining the army, Wang Mouwei will be the first to join the army in the future." At the gate of the city just now, Wang Zhicheng still had a little emotion towards Liu Zhen, but now he not only admires it, but also becomes grateful.
Being promoted from a team officer to a battalion officer at once is equivalent to being promoted two levels in a row. Although this battalion officer is an agent, but the credit is there, he killed a total of 11 enemies in the battle just now, and he was slightly injured in two places, and the adults who joined the army announced it in public, which is basically a sure thing.
Liu Zhen said: "You don't have to thank me, this is what you deserve." Remember, what we need to do now is to hold the city, strengthen the city defenses overnight, and not slack off in the slightest, the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive soon, and then we will go out of the city to kill the enemy and send these robbers back to their hometowns. ”
"Under the attributes, obey the orders of the Lord who joined the army." Wang Zhicheng promised.
Liu Zhen continued: "Also, all the brothers who participated in the war today have been promoted to the first level, and the dead and wounded soldiers are counted, and their families will be compensated in the future. The matter of merit and bereavement is wrapped up in this army. is still the same sentence, meritorious service will be rewarded, there will be punishment if there is a mistake, military law is ruthless, and you should do it yourself. ”
After Liu Zhen's words, the crowd below was excited, and they all shouted: "Thank you for joining the army!" The kindness of joining the army is unforgettable! I am willing to die to serve the Lord who joined the army! ”……
After Liu Zhen finished speaking, he left the South City Gate with Bai Qi and the others.
Wang Zhicheng commanded them to strengthen the city defense overnight, transport materials to the head city, stand guard and patrol on duty, etc., and the arrangements were in good order.
Liu Zhen went to other places again, and went down to the city, it was already the second watch in the evening, the crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, and on the way to the city lord's mansion, suddenly a strange thing caught Liu Zhen's attention.
