Chapter 93: The Bloody Battle of Du Yang (22)

Soon after Han He learned that Chang was captured, Bailiyan and Yao Sheng withdrew to the left camp, and Zhao Xun also withdrew with him, leaving only 10,000 people to continue to set up a position hundreds of meters away from the north gate outside Duyang City to prevent the Jin army's northeast battalion from retaliating.

Withdrawn to the left camp, Ji Chang was escorted to the wounded camp by Yao Sheng, and was heavily guarded and treated to prevent escape.

In the big tent, Zhao Xun sat in front of the verdict, carefully looked at the sword that Chang carried with him, and the sword body was inlaid with the word "Jin Xi" in the wrong gold text, the meaning of which is self-evident, the sword used by the Jin clan must be the direct bloodline of the King of Jin, and this sword in hand must be Ji Chang undoubtedly.

"Wei Xian, you will make miraculous achievements in this battle, but it's a pity, Ding Yang Hou is jealous of Xian, I'm afraid I can't tolerate you."

"General, I don't seek fame and fortune, but I want peace and well. Joining the army was not the original intention, but he had a deep blood feud with the Jin people, and he had to do it as a last resort. Now that Xi Chang has been captured, Han He is expected to set our army as an armistice and peace talks, so our army will not kill Xi Chang, and he will come to attack. ”

"Well, after the dawn, this matter will be reported to the Marquis of Ding Yang and see how he handles it."

Hearing this, Bai Liyan was a little worried:

"General Zhao, there is a sentence below, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I'm afraid that the Marquis of Ding Yang will take it for granted that Han He did not dare to attack the camp and ignore the threat of the Jin army. And when he returned from the Jin army camp, he heard the tragic noise in the city, and he was afraid that the method of attacking the cave had been defeated.

At this time, if there is news that Xichang has been captured by our army, he will definitely be relaxed. Therefore, it is believed that it is best to hide the capture of Ji Chang for three days, but in this way, it will be difficult to explain to the Marquis of Ding Yang. Therefore, it is better for the general to come out tomorrow, so as not to be too suspicious of the Marquis of Dingyang. ”

Ding Yanghou is exaggerating, saying that he has some ability, but every time he lifts a stone to shoot himself in the foot, he does something bullshit to harm others and himself. The previous horror was surrounded, and this time the attack on Du Yang was a thankless and terrible thing to take for granted

Once Chang fell into the hands of Marquis Dingyang, with his temperament, he must have thought that the Jin army would not dare to advance easily, in fact, Han He knew very well that Marquis Dingyang did not dare to kill Chang at all, but would attack and kill the Xian army without scruples, inflict heavy damage or force the Xian army to compromise, and then deceive Chang from the negotiating table.

When she came out of Zhao Xun's tent, Bai Liyan was a little out of strength, and at this time, there was a faint sharp pain on her shoulder, and when she touched it with her hand, it was full of pain. If you look closely under the firelight, it is covered with blood. I thought that I was stabbed by him in a battle with Ji Chang immediately, but I didn't realize it.

In addition to a shot in the shoulder, the leather armor on the abdomen was also cut horizontally, the lining of the cloth had been cut, and there was a thin incision on the stomach, not deep, but there were bloodshots, and I didn't know when I was injured by the blade, and I didn't know it.

Turning over the war horse, he suddenly felt out of strength, so he could only lie on the horse and ride slowly to the injured camp.

In the overnight battle, the wounded camp was overcrowded, and the ears were filled with the groans and pains of the wounded, not to mention three or five thousand people, most of whom were men and horses from the left battalion and the Marquis of Ding Yang attacking the west of the city, and the left battalion still accounted for most of them, and the wounded and soldiers who died in the battle and did not remove are still unknown.

Seeing Yao Sheng, he was holding outside the tent, surrounded by fifty soldiers and soldiers to prevent Ji Chang from escaping:

"General Yao Sheng, how is Ji Chang's injury?"

"Hehaha......" Yao Sheng laughed: "Your marksmanship is really amazing, the two gunshot wounds on your left shoulder and right arm are fine, and you can heal after a month of bandaging and resting." After this battle, you Wei Xian have made new contributions. ”

"General Yao's words are serious, this battle depends on the courage of the soldiers, and the generals are well commanded, so they are just a little luckier. I'm a little tired below, so let's go and rest first. ”

After a salute, Baili Yanjing rode back to the barracks, Xiao was not there at this time, as if she was too busy tonight, and she was also taken to deal with the wounded.

The next day, the sky was just dawning, the Xianjun offensive weakened, because of the failure of the cave attack, Ding Yang Hou was a little angry, at this time Zhao Xun was handsome, raised his hand and gave a slight salute:

"Marquis Dingyang."

"General Zhao came just in time, Ben Hou has to be the right governor Ma Kun reported, last night your army did not act according to Ben Hou's military orders, and sent a large army to attack the northeast camp of the Jin army without authorization, so as to put your left army with heavy casualties, but there is such a thing."

"Back to Ding Yanghou, the general is here to report this matter. Last night, the left army did pour out of the nest, besieged the northeast camp of the Jin army, and inflicted heavy losses on it, and captured the third son of the king of Jin from the camp of the southeast middle army of the Jin army, and had been detained in the wounded camp for treatment. ”

"What!" Marquis Ding Yang was taken aback, stood up in a daze, and his face sank: "General Zhao is not child's play, you said that the Jin army was placed in the city before, why did you go outside the city this time, how could you be captured by you, say!" ”

At this time, Zhao Xun took out the sword of Jichang and handed it to Ding Yang Hou for inspection, and then said:

"This is the sword of Jichang, and there is the word 'Jin Xi' wrongly, so there is no doubt that it is Jichang."

"If you pick it up indiscriminately, you can't rely on it."

"Ben will interrogate him overnight, and he has admitted that he is Ji Chang, and he has the jade talisman and tooth plate of the Jin King's Palace, so he will not be wrong."

Ding Yanghou was first overjoyed, and then his heart sank, and his eyes fell on Zhao Xun again:

"General Zhao, you are guilty of not acting according to the orders of this marquis!"

"This general has no way to govern the army, and he has failed to restrain the ministries, and he is willing to let Ding Yang Hou punish him, but if he says that this general did not act according to military orders, he will not dare to agree. There are endless variables in front of the battle, and the Jin army killed itself last night, if our army does not fight head-on, it will definitely be defeated by the Jin army, so we have to send a large army to meet the battle. Catching Ji Chang was just a fluke of a few rangers, and it was really luck. ”

"That being the case, Ben Hou Nian will not be held accountable for the merits and demerits of General Zhao's capture of the prince of the Jin Kingdom." The understatement of Ding Yanghou's words is very hard, and it seems that it should be so.

"Xie Ding Yanghou."

At this time, Zhao Xun secretly rejoiced in his heart that Ding Yang Hou's actions were completely expected by Wei Xian, if he didn't plead guilty first, Ding Yang Hou would not buy it.

Now that the merits and demerits are offset, then Zhao Xunbu's credit for capturing Xi Chang is gone, but his Ding Yang Marquis's credit for capturing Xi Chang because of his command is all recorded on his Ding Yang Hou's head.

Although Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang, is at the same level as Zhao Xun in military ranks, Zhang Jun is a marquis after all, and Zhao Xun has no title, even if he has the same military rank, his status is still several levels higher than Zhao Xun. Under the marquis is the monarch, the monarch is the upper secretary, and below is the upper doctor, the middle doctor, and the doctor, and the general is equivalent to the upper doctor.

Ji Chang was captured, and the Marquis of Ding Yang was very happy at this time, and then ordered someone to escort Ji Chang into the account:

"Let go, let go of this son!" Ji Chang's temper is not small, and he looks arrogant, and he is still like this when he sees Ding Yanghou.

Ding Yang Hou looked at it with a fixed concentration, and suddenly felt ridiculous.

"Your Excellency is the son of Jichang?"

"Who are you, you don't need to say anything if you want to kill!" Ji Chang stared, he was upright, and he was indeed a little afraid of death.

At this time, Ding Yang Hou stood up, circled around Ji Chang, and then said:

"Gongzi Chang is a distinguished guest of our army, why are you lazy, let me loose!"

At this time, Yao Sheng glanced at Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun nodded. Yao Sheng still didn't dare to slack off, and ordered someone to cut the rope, and one hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, just in case.

Ji Chang's left shoulder and right arm are bandaged, his muscles and bones are lively, and he is still the stinky frame with high toes, Ding Yanghou said slowly:

"Gongzi Chang, the two armies will not fight and come to the envoy, not to mention that the prince is a daughter, how dare Benhou slack off."

"You are Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang!" Ji Chang said disdainfully, and the resentment and unwillingness in his heart turned into contempt in his eyes, and he threw himself at Ding Yanghou.

Ding Yanghou was calm and relaxed, not slow or sick, and even a little comfortable and gloating:

"It seems that General Han He knows Benhou very well, and even His Royal Highness the Prince knows about Benhou."

"Humph! If it weren't for you, you would have defeated me. ”

"Well, well said. We will deceive you, and the Jin army will take advantage of my Xian civil strife to occupy the land of Jiangdong. ”

"Fengyangjun begged for help from my father, our army was called to crusade against the Daoless, why not crusade against the Daoless army like you."

"Fengyangjun's name is Xianchen, but he is actually a national thief, and everyone can punish him. Your Jin State colluded with our traitors and took the opportunity to occupy our Jiangdong, which is really unkind and unjust, and it is shameful. ”

Thinking that Ji Chang felt speechless, he snorted coldly:

"Humph!"

Ding Yang Hou said:

"Now that Gongzi Chang has been captured by our army, how does Gongzi feel?"

"If you want to kill, you need to kill, no need to say more."

"Shizigui is the third son of the King of Jin, and he is a rare star general in the Jin clan for a hundred years, so it is a pity to kill him. Come on, take Chang Gongzi away, take it under strict supervision, and don't be rude! ”

"No!"

Marquis Ding Yang personally entered the house, took Chang from Yao Sheng's hands, and then pulled him out of the tent.

After Ji Chang left, Zhao Xun said:

"Marquis Ding Yang, the one who captured Chang yesterday was General Yao Sheng."

Yao Sheng stepped forward and saluted:

"See Marquis Dingyang."

Ding Yanghou glanced at him:

"Did you go out without permission to capture Ji Chang?"

"It was the last general, who had to go out to meet the enemy last night because of the suddenness of the incident, so that most of the cavalry under the command of the last general died in battle, and he also asked the Marquis of Ding Yang to punish him."

"That's it, the general has a merit in capturing Ji Chang, so the merit will be offset. In the future, we must not disrespect orders and delay military aircraft! ”

"No!"

Yao Sheng did suffer heavy losses in attacking the Jin army last night, and only more than 1,200 of the 4,000 cavalry returned, and most of the remaining 2,000 were killed or wounded and captured. Last night, the left army that attacked the northeast camp of the Jin army had more than 6,000 dead and wounded and did not come back, and Yao Sheng suffered the worst losses.

However, the losses of the Jin army's northeast battalion were worse than Zhao Xun's left army, mainly due to the Jin army's own cavalry stampede, and Yao Sheng's cavalry behind the attack and stampede, with more than 7,000 casualties, but there were not many dead and many wounded.

The news of the capture of the Jin prince Chang was transmitted to the whole army through the Chinese army, and at the same time, a white flag was hung in front of the Xian army, on which it was written that the son of the Jin army was captured, so as to hit the morale of the Jin army.

After the Xian army stopped attacking the city, the Marquis of Ding Yang was ready to negotiate an armistice, and sent someone back with a letter to report to the King of Xian, suggesting that he seek peace talks with the Jin State.

Time to noon, the Xian army has withdrawn to the camp, a night of fierce battle Xian army casualties of more than 14,000 people, Zhao Xun accounted for half, Ding Yang Hou accounted for forty percent, and the death was the majority, of which more than 3,000 people died in the cave attack, all of them were lured into the city by Han He and ambushed and killed, and the remaining casualties were from the capital governor Lu Jing's department.

The Jin army suffered less than 10,000 casualties, with the northeast battalion suffering the greatest losses, followed by the southeast battalion, and the least in Duyang City. If it weren't for Zhao Xun's left battalion to attack and capture Xichang, I am afraid that the Jin army would have lost at most three or two thousand people last night, and the Xian army would have to more than triple.
