Chapter 481: Bound
Xu Zi entered the camp at this time, and Lin Shaozong and others held a big shield to guard around the King of Zhongshan.
The battle is over, but it is still necessary to guard against cold arrow sneak attacks, and it is very likely that some brave thieves are hiding in the shadows and attacking the king of Zhongshan.
The camp was full of tragic conditions after fierce battles, corpses everywhere, discarded weapons, burned flags, the whole camp was full of crossbow arrows after being shot through, thick spear-like huge arrows were inserted into the entire northern camp, it is hard to imagine that these thieves were under the suppression of crossbow arrows, resisted for two days and two nights.
Looking at the soldiers of the government army, their bodies were already exhausted to death, and the expressions on their faces were mostly excited.
Of course, it's more about pride, pride, and self-confidence.
This army, from being invincible, to fighting for two days and nights this time, is like a piece of fine iron, and finally completed the last squeezing and forging, and from then on it is like a sword out of its scabbard, and its edge is difficult to hide.
The armed training of the government army has been carried out many times without sleep for several days and nights, but the real actual combat is the first time, Xu Zixian thought about using such a tactical method at the beginning of the battle with the thieves.
The miners are newly attached, no matter how well organized and physical they are, their will and physical strength cannot be compared to these Zhongshan Army. Even those thieves who have been on the roster for many years, their will, physical fitness, and combat skills are not the opponents of the soldiers of the government army.
If you take a break from fighting, it is to give the thieves a chance to breathe, and while the government army is recovering its mental and physical strength, the opponent is also recovering.
If there is such a protracted battle, the casualties of the soldiers of the government army will definitely increase exponentially, and every old government army is Xu Zixian's incomparably precious wealth. Except for a few old soldiers who really couldn't pass the cultural course, all the officers and men of the old army had a place in the expanded new army.
"Li Kaiming, Liu Maoqi, they all ran away." Qin Dongyang was also full of fatigue, he also didn't sleep for two days and nights, and most of the time he fought in front of the battle, fighting with the enemy generals. At this time, he was also bloody, and he hugged his fists at Xu Zixian and said, "The last general, please go to the thief Kou Nanying?" ”
"I don't have to consume the energy of my soldiers anymore and lose them." Xu Zixian shook his head and said: "Tomorrow and tomorrow, the cavalry camp will be dispersed, blocking the main routes of escape, and those who climb the mountain and escape in small quantities do not have to pay attention to it. ”
Qin Dongyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, do you want to pardon the sins of the newly attached people, so as to get twice the result with half the effort?" ”
Xu Zixian groaned slightly, shook his head and said, "If this is the case, how can we deal with those good people who would rather die than obey the thief?" Those who are newly attached and do not injure any life shall be sentenced to three months' hard labor, six months' hard labor if they are appointed as a sentry officer or above, and one year of hard labor if they are appointed as the head of the capital or above. Those who kill or injure officers and soldiers are to be beheaded for public display. ”
All the generals are awe-inspiring, and they also know Xu Zixian's usual attitude, and those who follow the thief and rebel, no matter what, will be punished. This is the rule, and it is also the insistence of the king of Zhongshan.
It was the middle of the night, but Xu Zixian was still very energetic, patrolling the battlefield in Beiying and outside.
Condolences to the wounded soldiers, watching the stretchers shuttle non-stop, and carrying those seriously injured soldiers to the field hospital for treatment. Because it includes almost all the surgeons in Fujian and the southeast, plus the experience of many wars, debridement, disinfection, and fever reduction, the military medical officers of the Zhongshan Prefecture Army have a complete set of methods, and most of the serious injuries in this era are caused by cold weapons, unlike the era of firearms, which were used by gunpowder
Infection after injury is 100% of the case, and it is difficult to suppress, and the fatality rate is extremely high.
In this day and age, as long as you survive the first night of injury and take care of it carefully, the chances of survival are still very high.
If they are infected with tetanus, of course, there is no help, and the military medical officers can only do the best they can.
Qin Dongyang, Ge Cunzhong, Ge Cunyi, Liu Yi and other generals led their subordinates on the battlefield to force their subordinates to the south camp, the bed crossbow was still shooting in the direction of the city and the south camp, the dull sound of the crossbow made those newly attached thieves frightened, the old pawns and military attaches in the thief army have seen the defeat of the north camp, and also know that Li Kaiming and others have fled, they have no longer care about their duties and the new subordinates, and there are old military attachés who climb the mountains behind them, hoping to escape from the mountains and valleys.
The local officers of Gukou Town and even Jianzhou began to be selected from the various armies of the government army, and led their subordinates to climb the mountain along the road at the foot of Beiying Mountain, pursuing Li Kaiming and others, while cutting off the way for more people to climb the mountain and escape.
The shouting and slashing sound did not stop, in the cold winter night, people forgot to die and stayed up endlessly, Xu Zixian also repeatedly under the escort of the shield guards, approaching Jianyang City and outside the southern camp to watch the enemy's situation, to dawn, finally the overall situation was decided, the gate of Jianyang City was opened, and the thief army composed of Jianzhou locals chose to surrender, most of them had never killed or injured the lives of officers and soldiers and the people, and the time was not very allowed, the newly attached people, their hands were not stained with blood debts, whether it was according to the laws of the Great Wei, or the practice of the King of Zhongshan, None of them had too much to worry about their lives, and it was wisest to choose to surrender.
As for the box soldiers who surrendered and were captured on the battlefield, they threw away their weapons as early as the collapse of the North Camp, and rushed to the side of the government army in groups, rushing over to surrender.
Xu Zixian didn't pay attention to their interest at all, and the government soldiers just got out of the way, telling these people to line up one by one with their empty hands, and then sat down in turn, not even interested in binding them.
After dawn, the camp gate of Jianyang County and Nanying was also opened, and tens of thousands of thieves came out of the camp one after another, stretching out their hands to bind.
Then there is the screening of military attachés in the thief army, which is quite easy.
Except for some foreign miners, who are not natives of Jianzhou or Fujian Road, and then check the accent, even if the people from the northwest have learned some dialects of Jinghu North Road or South Road, they can't speak many sentences after all, and a little interrogation is a few words, as long as they are from Qinfeng Road, Hedong Road, Hebei, Henan Road, of course, they are all old men who follow Li Kaiming.
The government army has been fighting for many days so far, and the inventory is carried out by the various armies in turn.
The weather turned clear, but there was still wind, and a little snow on the ground was blown by the strong wind, hitting people's heads and faces. A large number of people sat cross-legged on the ground, people were generally dark-faced, as if they had been smoked, those rebellious people, miners, all looked dazed, some of them were forced to rebel from thieves, but most of them took the initiative to join, at this moment, they were captured together with their families, in front of them were fully armed, like wolves and tigers, waiting for them was an uncertain future, their mood was of course very depressed.
These thieves are also tired to the bones, the Zhongshan army has been attacking for two consecutive days and two nights without sleep, destroying their determination and will, and also boiling up their last trace of physical strength, struggling out of the camp and surrendering, after arriving at the pointing point, a large number of surrendered thieves directly sat on the ground and fell asleep, even if the wind and snow slapped their heads and faces
They were only occasionally woken up by the cold, and then sat down and fell asleep again.
The government army also took turns to rest, Xu Zixian himself was sitting on the snow, he felt tired as if he was in a dark deep pool, and he drowned himself in an instant.
Lin Shaozong sat behind Xu Zixian with a shield, covered the Zhongshan King with a cloak, and supported Xu Zixian's back, allowing the king to fall asleep and rest in the snow like this.
A large number of soldiers are also like this, taking turns to rest, which gives people a strange feeling, after the battle, on the battlefield that is still full of corpses, it is actually snoring loudly.
By evening, Lu Wenluo and other pursuing military attaches returned from the mountain road, and they stopped a large number of fleeing people, including miners and local people in Jianzhou, and also killed dozens of veteran soldiers and military attachés, but the pursuit of Li Kaiming and other thieves and generals was unsuccessful.
"It's to be expected." After Xu Zixian slept for two hours, he was already in good spirits, and he said to the generals: "His generation turned to the Central Plains, Hebei, and Hedong, and he was afraid that the journey was more than 10,000 miles in more than ten years. This is not surprising as early as possible. ”
Everyone nodded, and the regret and unwillingness on the faces of Lu Wenluo and the other pursuing military attaches also disappeared a lot.
Only Liu Yi looked weird, his mouth squirmed a few times, but he stopped talking.
It's not that Xu Zi, the king of Zhongshan, gave Liu Yi any warning first, but that Liu Yi, as a member of the Zhongshan military group, also knows the stakes.
Of course, Li Kaiming wants to let go, even if the king of Zhongshan predicts that this generation will run, he will not capture it with great fanfare in advance.
If this person doesn't run, what will happen if the court takes back the power to open the government? And without this person stirring up the situation in the Jinghu area, how could the King of Zhongshan really extend his power to Jingbei and Jingnan?
If you don't control Jingbei and Jingnan, how can you bring Jiangxi Road under your rule?
There are Jingbei, Jingnan, Jiangxi, Fujian, these four roads are integrated into one, there are southeast financial endowments, two lakes grain production land, hegemony has been achieved.
If there is a time when the north is overthrown, then enter the Liangzhejiang Road, Jiangnan East Road, control Jiangling, and then go south to Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, the whole south in hand, into Sichuan, Hanzhong, Guanzhong, the two wings go hand in hand, and the strong enemy in the north along the Yangtze River and the Huai River decisive battle...... This is the most secret deployment of Zhongshan Palace, and many future decisions and personnel scheduling, military expansion, and the bottom are related to such deployments.
In addition to Li Yi, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, and the Ge family brothers, I am afraid that there are no more than a palm of people who know what King Zhongshan thinks and plans for the future.
Liu Yi is also secretly vigilant, he is a little too fearless, too outspoken, such a secret thing, he almost blurted out.
Xu Zixian didn't notice the expressions of the heavy generals around him, but just followed the train of thought and said: "The overall situation of the battlefield in front of us is decided, Zhang Huchen, Gao Shilai, and the corresponding cavalry infantry sent by each army to quickly recover Jian'an Mansion City and the rest of the counties." To pacify the place, to compensate the exiled people, to build a porridge shed, the weather is cold, if the people freeze and starve to death, then I will say to you. ”
This group of generals, charging and killing people is not a problem, tidying up the place, appeasing the exiles, and cleaning up the situation, but it has never happened, Zhang Huchen and other named generals are all bitter, but they dare not slow down, and stepped forward and said: "Obey the king's order." ”
