Chapter 65: Victory

Liu Zhang thought about it, it's really possible, isn't that the case in Romance? At that time, he was attacked at night, and if it weren't for Zu Maodai's death, I'm afraid he would have died in Luoyang long ago.

Xun Yu said: "As Feng Xiao said, Sun Wentai will inevitably be defeated. After the enemy defeated his troops, taking advantage of the fact that his rout had not yet fled back to the rear, and our army had not yet learned the news of Sun Wentai's defeat, it was bound to be unprepared, so it quickly dispatched troops to launch a surprise attack on our army that was unprepared, hoping to force our army to retreat, at least to destroy the living forces of the coalition forces as much as possible, and to approach and delay the general offensive that the coalition forces might launch! Obviously, the enemy's plan succeeded for the most part, and if it weren't for Childe's order to attack the British army, their plan would have been perfect! ”

Everyone has accepted the possibility of Sun Jian's defeat, and they are all a little depressed, you must know that Sun Jian's troops are few capable troops in the coalition army, if he fails, then I am afraid that the future of Dong Daye is unpredictable!

More than two hours later, a personal soldier walked into the big tent quickly, knelt down and said, "My lord, General Wei and General Xu have returned to the camp and are asking to see them outside the tent!" ”

"Oh, please ......," Liu Zhang hurriedly said.

"Yes!" The soldiers retreated, and then Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai and others walked into the big tent with a clang, and said in unison: "Wei Yan (Xu Huang, Zhou Cang...... I've seen Childe! ”

"Get up and speak!"

"Gongzi Xie!"

Everyone was covered in blood, especially Zhou Cang, the whole person was redder than Guan Gong, Guan Gong just blushed, but he was as if he had just taken a bath in a bath full of blood, and the blood kept dripping under his feet.

"How are the brothers, are there serious casualties?"

Seeing that Liu Zhang asked about the safety of the soldiers first, everyone couldn't help but have a better impression of him, being able to follow a lord who loves soldiers like a son is the greatest blessing for every general and soldier, and such a person will not easily let his people make senseless sacrifices (Liu Zhang said: Thank you Mr. Jin Yong, we learned from Guo Daxia).

Wei Yan glanced at Liu Zhang with respect and admiration, and said: "If you return to Gongzi, our army will not suffer many casualties, including one hundred and thirty-four killed, including twenty-three cavalry; Ninety-eight wounded, including seven cavalry; Another six soldiers are missing, all of whom are infantry brothers, who have not been captured by the enemy, or who have died in the enemy's ranks, whose bodies have not been found, or who may have been scattered, who will return by themselves after dawn, or who may have deserted! ”

In the battle all night, there were less than 400 people in the battle, of which less than 200 died, and it was still within Liu Zhang's range, but he saw that the cavalry had suffered 30 casualties, which made him a little uncomfortable, it looked like only 30 people, you must know that Liu Zhang's full battle was only 800 cavalry! In fact, the cavalry was not conducive to night fighting, but in order to chase and destroy the enemy, Liu Zhang had to send it out, so after paying the loss, he blamed himself even more.

Only then did Liu Zhang ask about the results of the battle: "What is the record of our army?" ”

Wei Yan said: "Yu Gongzi, our army killed more than 3,000 enemies in this battle, the wounded were not counted, and another 2,600 enemies were captured, but unfortunately we didn't catch a big fish!" ”

Liu Zhang said happily: "Oh, the results are so brilliant, well, this battle can be described as the first victory of our army, I will temporarily note the credit to you, and reward it after Dong Zhuo is pacified!" ”

"Thank you, Childe!" Wei Yan and the others hurriedly bowed.

Liu Zhang said again: "What's the matter with this captive? ”

Wei Yan said: "Childe, let General Gongming report this matter!" ”

Liu Zhang looked at Xu Huang and smiled at one of the first people who took refuge in him: "Gongming, what's going on?" ”

Xu Huang bowed and said: "Yu Gongzi, this is the case, after our army went into battle, we could have relied on the strength of cavalry to quickly catch up with the enemy and pursue the enemy. However, our cavalry is only 800, and the enemy army is 20 or 30 times our army, and even if our army catches up, it will be difficult to have a chance of victory without the help of the infantry army. Therefore, I consulted with General Bunnag that General Buncho would continue the pursuit, while I led the cavalry around the enemy and lined up in front of it to block the enemy and deal a devastating blow. However, when we set up our position, we found that the enemy's strength was too great for our army to stop. So I ordered to let go of most of the enemy, block the enemy's rear army, and then flank the front and rear with General Wenchang, most of the encircled enemy army was annihilated, and a small group broke through the siege and fled, and the rest of the people saw that they were invincible, so they laid down their arms and surrendered! At this moment, the surrendered soldiers have been escorted back to the camp by us, and listen to Hou Gongzi's fate! ”

Liu Zhang said: "Well, Gongming is really the reincarnation of Yafu, very good!" In your opinion, can those surrendered troops be collected by me? Liu Zhang thought of the People's Liberation Army's practice of capturing and replenishing both prisoners, so he said.

Wei Yan said: "Childe, I have already asked those surrendered soldiers, they were originally the northern army of the imperial court, and they were the elite soldiers of my Han Dynasty, but after the death of the great general He Jin, the northern army was like a plate of scattered sand. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he took control of Shengshang, and the northern army had no choice but to declare his allegiance to them, but Dong Zhuo did not trust them, not to mention deducting military salaries, and could not guarantee three meals, and was forced to exploit the people and oppress the good for them, and now they were sent to death, and they were already dissatisfied with them. In my opinion, it should not be difficult to integrate it into our army, but this matter should not be rushed! ”

Liu Zhang nodded: "That's it, pass on the order, you can't insult and punish the army casually, the injured should be sent to the hospital in time, and the food must be supplied in sufficient quantities!" In addition, send some eloquent soldiers into their midst, publicize Dong Zhuo's evil deeds to them, tell them what kind of army we are, encourage them to report and expose, and all those who kill the people and rape women will be executed, and other crimes will be exempted from responsibility. As long as you join our army, no one will mention all kinds of things in the past, and you will get the same food and salary as the Yizhou army, and you will be promoted to an official position according to your military merits! ”

"Childe, if you give enough food, will they get into trouble when they are full? I thought it would be better to observe for a while, only distribute a small amount of food, make them unable to make trouble, and then improve their treatment when they join our army! "Feng Ji Dao.

"It doesn't matter, they used to have three bad meals, but now they can eat without making sacrifices, as long as they are not stupid, they know what to do!"

Seeing Liu Zhang say this, Feng Ji didn't say more. However, everyone was amazed by the little fur that Liu Zhang learned from the transformation of prisoners from the People's Liberation Army, if he implemented it in the future, wouldn't his army become stronger and stronger in the future?

Liu Zhang asked everyone who had worked hard all night to go back to rest, he tossed for most of the night, and he was also pan, and fell asleep with a smile. In fact, he also wanted to inspect the troops before going to bed, but thinking about everyone's tiredness for a day, especially the soldiers, most of whom came back from the ghost gate, why bother tossing them.
