Chapter 1474: Negligence

The generals all nodded. After this battle, the benefits for the overall situation are obvious. When the Luoyan army came out of the mountain, it was strangled by the main force of the Jurchens, and if this battle was lost, the Luoyan army would be wiped out. Everything before is gone. But if you win this battle, you will completely stand firm. From this moment on, if the Jurchens and Lu Zhongtian's soldiers and horses wanted to attack the Luoyan army, they would have to think twice before acting. They should understand that the Falling Goose Army is an iron plate, and before kicking this iron plate, they should think about whether their toes are hard enough.

The Falling Goose Army won respect and space for itself to gain respect and foothold with a victory. It also let the people of the world see that the Luoyan Army is not a bandit in the mountains, but has the strength to do some things. After this battle, the Luoyan army will soon become famous all over the world, and the people of the Great Zhou will change their views and will defect to and support the Luoyan army, because they see hope. This also effectively deterred some people who had begun to waver in their loyalty to Da Zhou at this moment, and made them understand that Da Zhou did not lose the country. Any action they take at the moment has to consider the consequences, and it is not that they do not have the power to liquidate them after the fall. Whether it is a force that intends to surrender or stand on its own feet or betray, they must take into account the uncertainties brought about by the emergence of this fallen goose army.

“…… Although today's victory in the battle is worth celebrating, there are some things that must always be said on the bright side. I don't want to spoil the scenery and say something that will make you unhappy today, but Lin has always been too successful in governing the army. What I say may sound harsh to you, but I also have to say it. Lin Jue suddenly changed the topic and said seriously.

When everyone heard this, their faces became serious. The atmosphere that had eased up instantly became solemn. Is Lord Lin dissatisfied with today's battle?

"Today's battle, neither the process nor the result is perfect. I expect more than just the outcome in front of me. Mistakes were made in the course of the operation, so that the objectives of the operation were not achieved. If today's battle is a big test, the performance of my Luoyan Army can only be regarded as barely passing. I may think that I am a little unkind, and I will not erase your efforts and heroism in battle, but there are many problems in the course of the battle, and you should know it in your own hearts. Where is the Liang commander? Come out and speak. Lin Jue shouted coldly.

Liang's commander is Liang Qi, he is now the commander of the infantry of the Luoyan Army, and today he is leading 20,000 infantry to form a formation, and he is also in charge of the infantry firearms battalion.

Liang Qi was excited, hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and saluted: "Military advisor, the humble position is here." ”

Liang Qi is still used to calling Lin Jue a military advisor, and he has never been able to change his words.

Lin Jue stared at him and said, "Can you tell me why the swarm of firearms didn't fire today?" How did I arrange it beforehand? ”

Liang Qi's body trembled, and his face turned pale. Rubbing his hands for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, a swarm of bee firearms failed to be installed and debugged in time, and when they were ready to be fired, the opponent's soldiers and horses had already retreated, so ...... Unable to do anything. The adults have ordered before, once the melon grenade is used, it will use a swarm of bazooka to kill the enemy, and kill a large number of enemies in a short time. Humble ...... Damn, didn't do that. ”

Lin Jue nodded slightly, and shouted coldly: "Then let me ask you, why can't the installation and debugging be completed?" Launch in time? ”

Liang Qi smacked his lips and said, "This ...... The time was too urgent, the Jurchens fled too quickly, and when they first went to the battlefield, the soldiers were a little nervous, so that they delayed for some time. The lowly post has already severely reprimanded the lieutenant general in charge. ”

Lin Jue shouted coldly: "The reason you are looking for is not valid. The Jurchens did flee quickly, but there was only half a pillar of incense between their attack and their retreat, which was enough for you to prepare everything. It was clear that the soldiers in charge of assembling and firing the swarm of firearms had delayed too much time. I remember you told me that you can complete the whole process of installation, commissioning and firing within 100 breaths of a swarm of firearms. What does it mean that you were able to do it so quickly during training, but you couldn't launch a rocket launcher even in half a column of incense in actual combat? It shows that your training is not strict in peacetime, resulting in insufficient proficiency in wartime. Nervous when a soldier first enters the battlefield? Is that also the reason? Seventy percent of my Luoyan Army is new to the battlefield, who is not nervous? If ordinary training is not rigorous enough, mistakes will inevitably occur in wartime. And as a result, as the commander of the infantry army, shouldn't you be responsible for the affairs of the infantry firearms battalion? ”

Liang Qi's face was like earth, and he said again and again: "The despicable position is the result of my poor management of the army and poor training. Liang Qi betrayed the trust of the military advisor, and Liang Qi asked for military justice. ”

Lin Jue said coldly: "It's not too much to deal with you by military law, maybe you are still not convinced, let me tell you, do you know what the consequences of this mistake are?" Originally, if a swarm of bees could be fired, it could kill a large number of enemies in the final intensive attack phase of the opponent. The launch of the 60-tube rocket launcher can at least destroy countless enemies and greatly expand the results of the battle. More importantly, as long as the Xiying Bazooka can block the battlefield, it can annihilate all the opponent's Iron Floating Cavalry. It is impossible for the opposing Iron Float cavalry to escape from the swarm. When they turn their heads and retreat, they expose their most vulnerable rump parts, and can shoot them all out of their horses with a thunderbolt rocket, leaving them with no escape. But now, we can only annihilate more than 1,500 of them, and the rest are just running away. Those more than 2,000 cavalry are still a great hidden danger in frontal combat, do you understand? Destroying the Tiefu Massacre and killing and injuring the Jurchens in large numbers would greatly damage the morale of Wanyan Agu and dampen his courage to continue fighting. But because of this mistake, this biggest goal was not achieved, do you know how sad it is? It has an impact on the whole picture, did you know? ”

Liang Qi knelt stiffly in front of Lin Jue, his expression a little sluggish. He didn't care too much about the seriousness of the matter. Although something went wrong, he still defeated his opponent, and Lord Lin shouldn't blame himself for the flaws in the process. But hearing Lin Jue say this at this moment, he was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the mistakes of his soldiers would be so serious in the mouth of Lin Da, and it would affect the entire overall situation. Liang Qi was really a little hairy.

"An important reason why we were able to win today's battle is that the Jurchens did not know that we had all kinds of powerful firearms. We hit them by surprise. The next time they fight, they will be more prepared. Don't think we'll be able to win so quickly next time. Nor are we allowed to squander our supplies. Like today, the other party rushed to the front and asked us to serve us with small melons, and there will be no more situations when they are sent to us in front of a swarm of bees. We didn't get rid of the opponent this time, and the next time we will get even better

Tough. The Jurchen army was 300,000, and we annihilated about 60,000 or 70,000 people in this battle, although it was already a very heavy blow, but it was far from enough to make Wanyan Aguda feel desperate. This person must beat him to his death, and he will not turn back. It's like killing a vicious wolf and missing the point, but it will be ferocious and even more ferocious. I was going to make this wolf lose its claws and fangs in today's battle, so that it would be difficult to retreat. But now I'm afraid it won't be. They hurt their tendons but not their bones, and they have the strength to fight again, and they will launch even more ferocious attacks on us. Failing to complete the battle is the biggest regret of today's battle. ”

Lin Jue stood in the big tent with his hands in his hands, facing the generals and officials in the tent, and said in a deep voice.

Everyone suddenly realized that Lin Jue actually had such a huge goal in this battle, and he wanted to completely cripple the Jurchens in one battle. If measured by such standards, although he won today's battle, he did not achieve the goal he expected in his heart.

Liang Qi blamed himself even more in his heart, when the military advisor said this, it really felt like his subordinates were not fighting well and ruined the military division's major affairs. There is both self-reproach and shame in my heart. So he said in a deep voice: "The military advisor, because of his humble duties, he has ruined the military division's major affairs. Please don't be appeased by the military advisor and give him heavy responsibility. There is no complaint about the lowly position. ”

Lin Jue frowned and groaned, pinching his chin with his hand and not speaking. The generals looked at Lin Jue nervously, fearing that Lin Jue would really deal with Liang Qi with military law. You must know that according to Lord Lin, the fault of the firearms battalion to which Liang Qi belongs is great, and this kind of behavior that affects the achievement of the entire campaign goal is dealt with according to the military law of the Luoyan Army, and it is not good that someone will lose his head.

Liang Qi is not an ordinary person. In terms of qualifications, he was a close confidant who followed Gao Muqing during the Guishan Island period. The friendship with Lord Lin can be traced back to the time when Peach Blossom Island exterminated the Haidong Youth Gang. Everyone here is probably not as deep as the friendship between Liang Qi and Lin Jue in terms of life and death.

That Liang Qi is also the founding backbone of Luoyan Valley Dazhai, and he is the second person besides Gao Muqing. For a long time, he has been working hard for Luoyan Valley Dazhai and is an old man with outstanding achievements. Because of this, even though Liang Qi's ability was not too strong among everyone, Lin Jue was still relieved to hand over the infantry command of the entire Luoyan Army to him. Even the infantry firearms battalion, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, has been handed over to him for management, which shows how much trust he has in Liang Qi.

This Liang Qi is also humble and righteous in the army on weekdays, and has an excellent reputation. has even more respect for Lin Jue, he is by no means the kind of person who is cheating and cheating, and he has no opinions on him. Lord Lin suddenly seized Liang Qi's mistakes in the battle today to speak, did he really want to punish Liang Qi? There is something wrong with this matter, mistakes are inevitable in battle, and the training on weekdays will be greatly reduced on the battlefield. The installation and launch of a swarm of bees may indeed have made a major mistake, but that is not something that Liang Qi can control. Besides, in today's battle, there were many mistakes on the battlefield, and the cavalry also made major mistakes, and there was chaos when they withdrew into the formation at a critical time, and they grabbed each other to block the entrance, resulting in more than 1,000 cavalry being killed by the other side in vain, which was also one of the huge mistakes. Lord Lin didn't mention these things, and only mentioned the mistakes of Liang Qi's subordinates, is this a bit nitpicking.
