Chapter 9 (24) The Battle of Mogan (12)
With Sun Zhongshan and his 2,000 cavalry joining the battlefield in time, the Turks, who were worried that the back road would be cut off, could only retreat in a hurry, so a battle that might have lasted two or three hours before it could really be seen was hastily ended.
In the march book of the Zhao army, the description of this battle is as follows: "On the twenty-eighth day of March, the enemy and us fought in the south of Mogan in the east of Heishui. The enemy's banner ambushed the corpse for fifty miles. And take the old village of Mogan. ”
It is said that when the general Shang Cheng saw this text, he praised the officer a few words, and praised several times in a row, "Well written!" ”
But legends are never true.
"Well written", Shang Cheng did say this, but this is only the first half of the sentence. There is still half a sentence in the back, and it has not been circulated.
"It's good to write well, but it's not in line with the facts!"
What he said did not conform to the facts, referring to Sun Zhongshan's forced crossing of the black water to feint against Mogan. The correct statement should be that Sun Zhongshan got lost in the fog, not only did he get lost, but the two thousand cavalry under his command also dispersed, and the cavalry of six or seven numbers finally merged into three units when they could not contact each other, and the movements of these three cavalry were also different. A battalion of soldiers led by Sun Zhongshan forcibly crossed the black water at a place about fifteen miles north of Mogan, which was the only team that really crossed the black water, and the men and horses all lost in the process of crossing the river, and then groped their way forward in the fog, and finally did not know what to do, and when the fog dissipated, they actually walked to the edge of Mogan Village. Next, of course, needless to say, Sun Zhongshan gave the order, "Fight!" Hundreds of Zhao soldiers followed him and rushed forward to kill, and the defenders of Tu Duci, who were caught off guard, suffered a big loss at that time, and the northern gate was also captured. In the panic, the people did not know how many people and horses the Zhao army came, one end lit the wolf smoke to warn, and the other fled to the south, but did not come out far, and bumped into another Zhao army that crossed the river, and was cut into several sections by pinching his head and stopping his waist when he landed, and less than 100 people escaped from the end of more than 400 horsemen, one by one, this is the march book recorded "then half of the interception, big break". As for the third group of Sun Zhongshan's scattered troops, which was the one with the largest number of troops, they were completely disoriented in the fog, and only after the fog cleared did they find that they had turned back, and it was already noon when they turned back to find the ferry, and when they crossed the river, the main force of the Tuqi people had already passed half an hour; They intercepted only a few sporadic enemies who had fallen behind......
However, whether the records in the marching book were true or fictional, it didn't make sense to Shang Cheng. In fact, he didn't care too much about the Moganzhai he had taken. What's the use of a broken stockade that even the Turks can give up at will? Therefore, he was also very unkind to Sun Zhongshan who took the risk of seizing the village, and he did not have a good face when he saw Sun Zhongshan who came out to greet him outside the gate of the village.
Guo Biao, who came with Shang Cheng, of course knew what Shang Cheng was angry about. The weight of Moganzhai is not comparable to the 7,000 Turks who fled! Now that the strength of the Turpent people has not been damaged in the slightest, they will inevitably act more cautiously in the future, and if they want to pick it up again, they don't know how much more effort it will take! And the threat of this enemy is too great to be taken lightly, let alone ignored, and must be cleaned up! Otherwise, it may lead to great disaster. Hey, if Sun Zhongshan didn't come to fight this village, but went to gather the team, then the current situation would be different. Alas, it would be good if Sun Zhongshan hadn't caught up, even if he really got lost on the west bank of the black water, it would be better than him running to disturb him so much!
Although he was also very disappointed in Sun Zhongshan's self-made cleverness, he felt unbearable when he looked at Sun Zhongshan with a dusty face, and those soldiers who looked at him with tired and tired eyes. These are all good men of Da Zhao!
"The day before yesterday, the general galloped to the aid of the left battalion, and the commander said that this battle must be fought by your Sun Zhongshan. This is indeed the case," he patted Sun Zhongshan's hand and said, "The First World War eliminated the hidden dangers on the right flank of the army, and General Zhongshan can be said to have worked hard. Wen Yan comforted a few words, and then turned his head to look at the surrounding soldiers carefully one by one, nodded if he was familiar or known, and asked for a name and position if he didn't know, and everyone around recognized it clearly, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard." In three days and two nights, from Luhe to Heishuixi to Mogan, hundreds of miles of galloping, repeated hard battles, even those who were cast iron had to wear off a layer of skin...... From this, it can be seen that the courage of the Yanshan Guards and the ability of the Yanshan Guards! Although there are only a few simple words, what is his identity and status, whether the people around him are full of warmth and emotion, whether they are crossing the river with Sun Zhongshan or not, and everyone is looking at him eagerly.
“…… Everyone will be tired for many days," Speaking of this, the next sentence should be "Go to rest first and then what", but the words came to the mouth and moved in the heart, and when they were exported, it became, "Whether it is merit or hard work, the general must see it in his eyes, and the merit book will also remember it clearly." ”
Shang Cheng, who had been with a black face, took over the words: "Let's go find a place to rest." Baokan, tell logistics, eat and drink should be replenished from the wide. One by one, Sun Zhongshan stayed. ”
Although everyone is a little worried about Sun Zhongshan, who dares to disobey the general? Naturally, it dispersed.
Shang Cheng didn't busy talking, paced back and forth on the ground for several turns, and finally stopped in front of Sun Zhongshan, who was slumped, and asked coldly, "Who told you to fight this broken village?" ”
Sun Zhongshan swallowed his saliva, stared at Shang Cheng's large cowhide soft boots with a wooden face, and did not say a word.
"Lift your head up one by one"
Sun Zhongshan immediately raised his head, his body was as straight as a javelin, staring at Shang Cheng's back like something he didn't know what it was, and his eyes didn't roll.
Shang Cheng took two steps on the ground with one hand behind his back, pointed at him with one hand and asked, "Say, you say!" Who told you to fight this broken stockade? Don't speak one by one? Cat got your tongue? Didn't you just make a lot of noise? Such a large group of people, just your voice is the loudest......" Guo Biaowen Mu Wang Yi next to him, as well as Bao Kan and Duan Si, five people grinned at the same time. These words were obviously Shang Cheng's anger and planted a false accusation on Sun Zhongshan. Sun Zhongshan is indeed brave on the battlefield, but he is also known for his gentle temper on weekdays, saying that he is noisy, can anyone believe this?
Sun Zhongshan was like a wooden stake and there without saying a word or defending, and Shang Cheng really couldn't do anything about him. Sun Zhongshan is also a general, and he is scolded like a suffocating grandson in front of everyone's eyes, and it will be difficult to bring soldiers in the future. What's more, he himself knows in his heart that he can't complain about Sun Zhongshan about this. But seeing that he let go of a good opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, he also held the boss's anger in his heart, thinking of the seven thousand enemies who ran away, he hated to slash Sun Zhongshan with one sword......
"! Don't let me see you in the future! Worse than useless! He waved his hand to tell Sun Zhongshan to get out, and turned around and instructed Bao Kan, "Go and find Zheng Qi and Shao Chuan immediately!" ”
…… Half an hour later, Mogan's Zhao army was divided into two divisions, the main force rested on the spot, and then attacked the White Wolf Pass to the east with four infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions. In the evening, the news came back that Shao Chuan Zheng Qi had established himself on the west side of the White Wolf Pass and repelled the enemy's two attacks. After carefully identifying the flags, they felt that the enemy of the White Wolf Mountain Mountain Road was likely to be the King of Donglu Valley of the Turpent Valley!
In addition, they need reinforcements, and the enemy is full of big tent soldiers......
