Text Chapter 14 Gathering the Remnants of the Army
Bi Shiduo, who was caught off guard, only had time to raise the spear horizontally, and the mace smashed down on the barrel of the gun, and with a "click", the barrel of the gun was directly broken, but fortunately, Bi Shiduo reacted super fast, with the help of the buffer of the barrel of the gun for a moment, kicked the horse's belly with his right foot, leaned his body, and dodged from the horse's back.
"Puff"
The extremely heavy mace smashed directly on Bi Shiduo's mount, smashing the entire horse's head to pieces, seeing this scene, Bi Shiduo's eyes jumped in horror, if he had reacted a little slower by half a beat just now, he would have been smashed into meat pies by this Xijon barbarian.
This Liang Zhang is indeed as Qin Yan said, he is a peerless general, and he is by no means an opponent, Bi Shiduo was secretly shocked in his heart.
Although he avoided a blow from someone who came, the wind behind Bi Shiduo suddenly rose again, but it was Chen Heng who took the opportunity to attack and slashed directly at his neck with a knife.
At the time of the move, following the experience of Huang Chaonan's expedition and his vigorous skills saved him, hearing the wind, Bi Shiduo didn't look at it, so he threw half of the gun in his hand behind his back, and on the ground, he took advantage of the situation to pounce forward, narrowly avoiding the doom of the head split.
Xirong generals Liang Zhang and Chen Hui flanked back and forth, and were narrowly avoided by Bi Shiduo, taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were on the wrong horse, Bi Shiduo jumped up, pulled onions on dry land, and kicked a personal soldier behind Liang Zhang from the mount, kicked out of the mount, and Bi Shiduo took the opportunity to take the opponent's horse and yelled at Qin Yan: "General Qin retreat, this person is Liang Zhang, we were caught again." ”
After shouting a word, Bi Shiduo will not gallop away from Dazhai and on the bank of Xiangshui, and even the soldiers under his command can't take care of it, and now there is only the idea of escaping, where can I take care of anything else.
On the bank of Xiangshui, Linshui Dazhai, with Liang Zhang's personal arrival, the war immediately reversed.
The Jingzhou army, which was originally besieged in Dazhai, saw the reinforcements, and their morale immediately soared, and they even used up their strength to eat milk, and fought desperately outside.
And the grass army that was originally besieging the Jingzhou army, as soon as they saw that the other party had countless people and horses, their morale plummeted, and they almost fell directly to the bottom, and some people saw the main general Bi Shiduo fleeing south in a panic, and they didn't care about killing the Jingzhou army, and immediately fought desperately in the direction of Bi Shiduo's escape.
After Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan did not slack off, and hurriedly shook Zhang Xuan's long knife, patting the horse like Bi Shiduo chasing, the two generals fled, not to mention the other grass army, the anxious grass army guards, desperately killed the reinforcements brought by Liang Zhang, and chased towards their general.
Although some people were killed, but there were still people who were besieged, and the grass army was intercepted on the north side of Dazhai, these grass troops saw that the general trend had gone, and they immediately ran away in a panic, and now it is not who is brave, but to see who runs fast, not the fastest, just need to be faster than others, most of the veteran oils have this idea, running wildly.
Among these people, there are three young people, and they are none other than the three brothers Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, and Zhang Guimu.
Zhang Guiba joined the regular guards early in the morning, and he was defeated in both battles, and he didn't know how this hot-blooded young man was feeling now, when Bi Shiduo reorganized the army, he had been promoted to the commander of the fire, so he put his two younger brothers in the fire under his command, so that he could take care of them.
Zhang Guiba saw that Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan were fleeing to the south, and he also wanted to break through to the south and follow Bi Shiduo, at this time, Zhang Guimu seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted anxiously: "Big brother, let's flee north." ”
At this time, this voice made Zhang Guiba, who was the chief of the fire, have no time to think about it, let alone ask why, out of trust in his younger brother, he immediately dismissed his plan to go south, turned around and led the remnants of his fire to flee north.
Most of the grass army still followed Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan, so the number of grass troops fleeing south was far greater than the number of fleeing to the rout, and even so, there were two or three thousand people fleeing north.
And Liang Zhang didn't want to watch these people escape, so he immediately ordered: "Chen Xuan, you follow me to pursue Bi Shiduo and Zhang Xuan, and you lead your subordinates to pursue to the north and try to eliminate other miscellaneous fish." ”
"No" Chen Heng immediately responded to the order, and hurriedly followed Liang Zhang with his men and horses.
"Nuo" Zhang Lan had no choice but to obey the order, he didn't pay attention to the miscellaneous fish that fled north without big fish, but as a deputy general, he couldn't disobey Liang Zhang's orders, so he had to lead his subordinates and chased north listlessly.
------------ Dividing Line------------
At about nine or ten o'clock, there were routs one after another who fled to the place where Wu Mourning, Zhu Li and others were stationed, Wu Mourning led Pang Xun's old department, the queue was neat, the army was mighty, standing proudly in the sun, many of those routs recognized Wu Mourning, and they didn't need Wu Mourning to greet them, so they automatically moved closer to them.
"Captain Wu, why are you here?" One of the lieutenants fled here and asked in surprise.
"Shouldn't I be here?" Wu Mian didn't look at him at all, and said leisurely: "If I wasn't here, would you be able to escape from Tanzhou alive?" ”
The lieutenant glanced at Wu Mourning with a complicated expression, his guards, after this battle, broke and fled again, and there were very few people left, at this time he didn't dare to argue with Wu Mourning, a captain who was waiting for work and seemed unscathed, obediently like other remnants, ran behind Pang Xun's old department, sat down and repaired.
"Zhu Li, you organize them separately, and these people will be under your command in the future." Wu Mian looked back at Zhu Li and ordered in a deep voice.
"No" Zhu Li immediately replied, he knew the master's plan, and agreed very happily.
As the so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves, the remnants of the soldiers who fled here rely on the military strength of Wu Mourning to have time to rest and repair.
For Zhu Li's reorganization, naturally he didn't dare to refute, the reorganization of the remnants of the army was very smooth, Zhu Li just painted the scoop according to the gourd, and hastily brought them into the establishment according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty.
If this remnant soldier was the fire captain before, Zhu Li would not demote his position for no reason, and still let him appoint the fire chief, who was the team leader before, and let him be the team leader, but there is one point, if this person was a captain before, I'm sorry, I can't control you, you go and report to Wu Mourning.
One after another, around 12 o'clock at noon, the 200 people who went to get food had already returned with a cart, and Zhu Li also searched and gathered nearly 900 remnants of soldiers.
What made him even happier was that the three brothers of Zhang Guiba actually came closer, so that after counting, their master and apprentice had nearly two thousand elite soldiers in their hands.
Now that there are people and food, Wu Mian does not plan to continue to collect the remnants of the army, and immediately commands everyone to push the grain cart onto the raft and transport it to the east of Xiangshui in batches, and then transport all the elites in batches.
After everything was ready, Wu Mourning and Zhu Li led nearly 2,000 elites, not taking the main road, copying the small roads, covering up and hiding in the hiding places to march to Jiangxi.
On the way, Wu Mian personally trained more than 900 remnant soldiers, and during the training, Zhu Li not only had to study with him, but also trained with the soldiers, almost eating and living together, without any exceptions.
In addition, Zhu Li also had to receive separate training and teaching from Wu Mourning, including not only martial arts, but also the art of war, literacy, archery, etc., which almost squeezed him to the point that he almost had no time to rest.
However, Zhu Li's growth is also very gratifying, among the familiar people, Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guimu's martial arts were originally above him, and now several people are walking together, it is inevitable to compete with each other, at first they can still abuse Zhu Li, but the good times don't last long, and gradually the two of them together are not Zhu Li's opponents.
In desperation, Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guimu brought their eldest brother to compete with Zhu Li.
Zhang Guiba's martial arts are very good, he has reached the late stage of second-rate generals, which is rare among more than 900 remnants, Zhang Guiba can still fight with Zhu Li for a while at the beginning, and Zhu Li has no temper, but it didn't take long for him to become bad, and Zhang Guiba is not Zhu Li's opponent anymore.
Zhu Li became stronger day by day, which completely stimulated the three brothers of the Zhang family, and the three of them did not need to be supervised by anyone, so they spontaneously trained hard, looking forward to being able to go thousands of miles every day like Zhu Li. Now the three brothers combined, they can't even beat a child, so they have no reason to be lazy.
It's just that they don't know how good Zhu Li's treatment is, his body, not only has an uninterrupted medicinal bath nourishment, but also the assistance of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", from time to time some strange fruits will emerge to improve his ability, coupled with Wu Mourning's harsh advice, the growth of martial arts is not only a thousand miles a day, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day.
In addition, Zhu Li also got along very well with the remnants of the soldiers who had been gathered, at the beginning, these veterans didn't look down on Zhu Li, a baby-faced little kid, but they were forced to obey Zhu Li's command because of the coercion of Wu Mourning.
But with the growth of Zhu Li's martial arts, and even a few captains who escaped by luck became no match for him, at this time, this group of remnants was in awe of this young commander from the bottom of their hearts.
Being in the army, revering the strong is a potential consciousness, and in the era of cold weapons, this consciousness is even more deep-rooted, and they can't help but change their attitude.
The army marched eastward along the Xiushui Road, and the march was not very fast, and Wu Mourning did not seem to be in a hurry to march, and he would be stationed down after marching more than 100 miles, and the military formation would be trained, and a training would be more than ten days.
Then he set up camp and marched more than 100 miles again, and then set up camp again to train his troops, and sometimes organized his subordinates to hunt, fish, replenish grain and grass, and so on.
In this way, two months have passed, they have set up camp three times, and trained more than four times, but Zhu Li has made very rapid progress in the past two months, and his martial arts have been cultivated to the middle stage of the second-rate generals, but when he starts to move, even Zhang Guiba, who is a second-rate general, is not his opponent, and the training of bows and arrows is even more accurate, and he also knows a little about the art of war and strategy.
On this day, the army marched dozens of miles again and arrived at Yunju Mountain, Wu Mourning once again ordered to set up a large camp, but he himself brought Zhu Li and others to the mountain to worship the temple.
