495, Five Days of Life and Death (14)
When Zheng Fei and Hu Sanniang came to the lobby of the Bozhou Military Office, Huang Song, Pang Wanchun and others had already arrived, everyone looked good, and it seemed that they had been fully rested.
As soon as Zheng Fei sat down, Huang Song presented the detailed statistics of the war, Zheng Fei looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction while watching,
In this battle, the 20,000 people of the two generals of the forbidden army were directly annihilated by the Heavenly Dao Army of 5,000 people, and 11,000 people were captured, including dozens of officers of all sizes including the four generals of the two forbidden armies, that is to say, there were only 4,000 soldiers of the forbidden army who took advantage of the chaos to escape.
As a price, the 7,000 Bozhou army lost more than 1,000 people and suffered more than 1,000 minor and serious injuries. The cavalry brigade lost more than 100 casualties and dozens were seriously wounded. Although the cost is heavy, it is also inevitable for cold weapons engagement.
What is gratifying is that a large amount of grain and grass has been seized, with these grains and grasses, the soldiers and civilians of Bozhou can fully support until the summer grain is processed and can be really eaten.
It's just that compared to capturing so many enemies and capturing so much grain and grass, what is really exciting is that through the successive victories in the two battles of Yanggu and Bozhou, everyone has built up confidence, because everyone finally found that the so-called elite Great Song Forbidden Army of the imperial court is nothing more than that, at most it is better than the age structure of the general state army, the weapons and equipment are stronger, and the combat discipline is better, but compared with the Heavenly Dao Army, it is still a lot worse, and since then, the myth of the invincibility of the Great Song Forbidden Army in the Central Plains has been broken.
Zheng Fei is also quite emotional about this, he naturally knows that the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty has long since lost its courage after a hundred years of comfort, but he didn't expect that it was really weak to this point, taking today's battle as an example, he expected that the forbidden army that reacted would definitely attack Bozhou again, so he came up with a strategy to attack the forbidden army with the Bozhou army before and after.
According to the sneak attack technique he learned from Hua Rong in the first battle of Yanggu, he gave full play to the rapid mobility of the cavalry brigade, and rushed behind the forbidden army for nearly a hundred miles, and then suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind the forbidden army, trying to take down the opponent's grain and grass in one fell swoop, and then use this to cause chaos on the other side.
It's just that although the cavalry brigade is strong, and the vast plains of the battlefield are also suitable for the cavalry to charge, but after all, the cavalry brigade only has more than 2,000 horsemen, and there is no complete certainty of victory in the face of the 20,000 forbidden army, so he also specially ordered all the cavalry to tie many branches to the tails of all the war horses, the purpose is to let the war horses stir up dust as much as possible in the running, so that the enemy can mistakenly think that there are countless cavalry in the flying dust in the sky.
The forbidden army was really fooled, but even so, the forbidden army was not without a chance of winning, after all, they still had more than 15,000 people at that time, if these 15,000 people could fight to the death with the Heavenly Dao Army, the final result was really difficult to say, even if the Heavenly Dao Army could still achieve the final victory, it would definitely pay a heavy price!
But it's a pity that the 15,000 forbidden troops of the dignified Song Dynasty were instantly frightened, from top to bottom, they only knew how to escape, and they didn't even have a decent resistance, so they simply surrendered under the front and rear attacks of the cavalry brigade and the Bozhou army, which makes people wonder if they are really the so-called elite forbidden army!
It's a pity that they are indeed a forbidden army, and they are a very representative forbidden army that has been eaten by countless moths.
However, it is not surprising to think about it, if it were not for this, how could Bianliang, who was under the protection of the forbidden army in history, be driven straight into a no-man's land by the Jin soldiers, and directly killed from the border to the capital, and even the emperor Lao Tzu was taken captive!
In the past, although Zheng Fei understood that the forbidden army was no longer as brave as it used to be, he was still a little worried that the historical records were not true, so he would lead the independent division to the front line to deal with all possible crises, but judging from the results of these two battles, he was really a little worried, so Zheng Fei dared to order the independent division to eat and rest immediately, and he also slept well, and was no longer as worried about the military situation in other places as he was a few days ago.
Now that two big victories have been achieved, it is necessary to make full use of the results of these two big victories as much as possible to encourage the military and civilians everywhere, Zheng Fei immediately said to Pang Wanchun, "Wanchun, you immediately pass the details of these two battles to Wu Yong with flying pigeons, and ask him to sort it out and quickly publicize it through the press institute, and strive to let all the people on Jingdong and West Road know about it, and if possible, the secret agents will also make a big splash in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the people can understand that even the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is not the opponent of our Heavenly Dao Army. We must also make the enemy understand that any attempt to subvert our Heavenly Dao Army is futile! ”
Pang Wanchun got up and said, "Yes!" All the generals were also excited, these two battles were really relieving, and they all defeated several times their own enemies when they were at a disadvantage in numbers, which was really a pleasure!
The generals immediately began to talk and laugh eagerly, but there was a figure in the crowd that did not move, Zheng Fei looked at it, but he was stunned, that person was actually Huang Song, I saw that Huang Song was sitting in a daze unusually, I don't know what his tenacious head was thinking.
Zheng Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, through this battle, it turned out that Huang Song and his madman army did have some ability, under the leadership of Huang Song, until the moment when the cavalry brigade launched a surprise attack, the seven thousand Bozhou army not only withstood the attack of the forbidden army twice as large as theirs, but also gained the upper hand, almost at the cost of only more than a thousand casualties, annihilated the seriously injured five thousand forbidden army!
Zheng Fei imagined on the way back to the city in triumph during the day that if he did not lead the cavalry brigade to participate in the battle, if the forbidden army could be two or three percent stronger, what would be the result of this battle? The answer may be this, in the end, Huang Song and his Bozhou army still won, but at that time, there were probably not many people left in the Bozhou army.
As soon as he thought of this possible result, Zheng Fei's heart was entangled, this time it was he who came in time to avoid the result of the Bozhou army and the 20,000 forbidden army dying together, but who can guarantee that Huang Song will not be so reckless next time? It would be a pity if a madman army like Bozhou Jun was defeated! It is undeniable that Huang Song is a rare fierce general, but his tenacious head does not seem to be suitable for leading troops to fight.
So what should be done? Remove the ponderosa pine? No, the reason why the Bozhou Army is a mad army is because of the existence of its founder Huang Song, if Huang Song is gone, the Bozhou Army will also lose its military soul and become an ordinary strong army.
Zheng Fei's eyes turned among the generals in the hall, his eyes instantly locked on a person, and his heart suddenly moved, right, since Huang Song can't move, then I can always arrange a "military advisor" for him, right?
Zheng Fei thought about it and immediately said, "Huang Song, come here." ”
The hall was silent, Huang Song reacted as if he was alert, and then immediately got up and came to the hall to hug his fist towards Zheng Fei, "The subordinates are here." ”
Zheng Fei said to Huang Song, "Huang Song, you won this battle, you are the leader, but you also made a big mistake, do you know what it is?" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zheng Fei's words fell, Huang Song actually knelt on the ground and cried loudly, crying so badly!
Everyone, including Zheng Fei, was immediately dumbfounded......
