Chapter 6: The Fierce Generals Fight the Cult

Section 9 Troops march into Yuncheng

Mata Lake, which had been noisy for most of the day, finally returned to tranquility, and an hour after the pursuit battle, the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion had almost cleaned the battlefield. At this time, the wounded of the headquarters had been properly treated, and the prisoners taken along the way had also been taken to the camp of the Wenxiang Sect.

At this time, Liu Yunwei was discussing with Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, Wang Gandang, Wen Poyu, and Gao Hongguang in Xu Hongru's original big tent.

Lu Yingzheng took a copy of the casualty figures counted by the headquarters, and said with an unkind face: "Big brother, brothers, in the previous battle of Anmin Mountain, our Hanwei battalion lost a total of three hundred and eight soldiers, among which the trapping department and the flying feather department suffered the largest losses; In today's battle of Matao Lake, our Hanwei battalion lost a total of 513 soldiers, of which the largest losses were the soldiers of the trapping department and the Jiading department. After these two battles, a total of 821 soldiers in our Hanwei Battalion were martyred. In addition, in the first battle of An Minshan, our Hanwei battalion captured the thief leader Wang Haoxian alive, beheaded his general Hongzhi, and wiped out all his men; In today's battle of Matahu, the soldiers beheaded several helmsmen under Xu Hongru, but regrettably, Xu Hongru and his military advisor Chen Canyu took advantage of the chaos to escape. In today's battle, we have captured more than 2,000 people in each headquarters, and it is estimated that there will be no more than 1,000 Wenxiangjiao people who escaped, and the rest of the Wenxiangjiao people and horses were all beheaded. ”

After listening, except for Gao Hongguang and Wang Dangdang, the faces of the rest of the people were unusually ugly, you must know that when the Hanwei Battalion fought against Jiannu before, it was rare to see nearly a thousand soldiers killed and injured in the First World War, not to mention that now it is just a rabble organized by a cult! Is it because the combat power of the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion has decreased, or is the combat power of these people who smell the fragrance and teach them comparable to Jiannu?

Although Gao Hongguang and Wang Dangdang were also very heartbroken when they heard the casualties of nearly a thousand soldiers, they eliminated more than 10,000 people from the Wenxiang Sect in the two battles, and almost wiped out the Wenxiang Sect. However, when the two saw the expressions on the faces of Liu Yunwei and others, they hesitated.

Gao Hongguang asked in a low voice: "Big brother, this time we have wiped out all the people of the Wenxiang Sect, although the brothers suffered a lot of casualties, but the results of the battle can be regarded as brilliant." ”

Liu Yunwei didn't say anything, but was thinking about something. At this time, Lu Ying said resentfully: "Hongguang, you haven't participated in the previous battle against Jiannu, and you may not know much about the previous record of our Hanwei Battalion." This time, our Hanwei battalion suffered such a big loss, in a sense, we didn't actually win this battle! You must know that when I was in Liaodong before, if I wanted to cause a loss of nearly 1,000 people to our Hanwei, even if it was Jiannu, I had to pay a heavy price! However, what kind of goods are these people and horses of the Smelling Fragrance Sect? A rabble! This time our losses were too great. ”

After Gao Hongguang and Wang Dangdang listened, they were very shocked, and when they thought of the current situation, the two of them were like everyone else, and their mood became very low.

At this time, Liu Yunwei seemed to have figured out something and said, "Okay, you don't have to be too depressed." Although the losses of the soldiers of the headquarters in this battle are not small, but after all, the Wenxiang Sect was annihilated in one fell swoop, although Xu Hongru escaped, but there will not be too many people left, and several helmsmen under him have all been beheaded by us, I think Xu Hongru can't afford to make any big waves. When we take a little rest, we will wave our army westward and take Yuncheng directly, and then the Wenxiang Sect will be completely wiped out. ”

Lu Ying was still unwilling, and said with a sigh: "But the price we paid is too great, these soldiers are all soldiers who followed us from Liaodong." ”

Liu Yunwei shook his head and said, "I am also very sad in my heart that the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, but against a cult like the Wenxiang Sect, nearly 1,000 casualties are still acceptable. ”

Everyone was very puzzled when they heard it, Liu Yunwei has always loved soldiers like his life, why would he say such a thing today?

Liu Yunwei continued: "You think, whether it is Wang Haoxian or Xu Hongru, both of them have a very elite team in their hands that is used as a killer weapon, although the combat power is not as strong as Jiannu, but it is also a first-class elite, at least the general official army is invincible; Although the rest of the cult members are just a rabble, you must not forget that the Smelling Fragrance Sect is a cult, and the number of people is far larger than ours, and after these young people are used by the cult, they will directly become tens of thousands of crazy people and we are desperate, and it is not surprising that the casualties are larger. ”

After listening to this, everyone thought about it carefully, and it was really like this: this ability to smell incense and teach demagoguery was brought into full play during the fierce battle, and the soldiers of the headquarters suffered a lot.

Then, Liu Yunwei saw that everyone had figured it out, so he instructed everyone: "Okay, don't be so discouraged, we have beaten the headquarters soldiers very bravely in these two battles, and they are all good!" When you go back in a while, you must remember to boost the morale of the soldiers, and tomorrow morning we will march westward to completely solve the matter of smelling incense. ”

After listening to Liu Yunwei's words, everyone's morale rose slightly, and they all responded with fists. At this time, Lu Ying asked a little crampedly: "Big brother, what about the more than 2,000 captives?" ”

Liu Yunwei pondered for a while, and said: "Let's watch the guards first, tomorrow we will enter Yuncheng first, and let Master Chen escort the soldiers of the headquarters with baggage to Yuncheng, and then go to Yuncheng." After we have completely eliminated Xu Hongru, we will hand over these captives to Ren Chengwei. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yunwei was dressed up early, and after stepping on the war horse, he ran up in the camp and began to inspect the situation in the camp. Seeing that the soldiers of the headquarters were ready to go, Liu Yunwei's mood was extremely excited: "Great, after eliminating Xu Hongru, this matter of smelling incense will come to an end, I have been delayed in Shandong for too long, I must end the matter here as soon as possible, and I must hurry up and continue to hurry." ”

Just thinking about it, Liu Yunwei saw that Master Chen was directing his soldiers to form prisoners of war, so he stepped forward and asked, "Master Chen, are these prisoners still obedient?" ”

Master Chen looked back and saw that it was Liu Yunwei, so he immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Hehe, I have seen the little general, although there are a lot of these prisoners, they are quite well-behaved. Please rest assured that the general will take good care of these prisoners, and when the time comes, they will definitely be escorted to Yuncheng one by one; In addition, the brothers who were wounded in the headquarters also stayed with me, and they will also be sent to Yuncheng together when the time comes. ”

Liu Yunwei nodded with satisfaction after listening, and at this moment, Lu Ying came over and said, "Big brother, the brothers are ready, give the order." ”

"Good! The order will go down, and the army will set off immediately and take Yuncheng County directly! ”

Lu Ying took the order and left.

After a while, more than 4,000 soldiers of the Hanwei battalion rushed out and headed west along the shore of Mata Lake. Half an hour later, Master Chen also led hundreds of soldiers from the headquarters to set off, and the captured more than 2,000 Wenxiang Sect men and horses were tied to ropes and escorted westward together.

Just when the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion rushed to Yuncheng, in the mansion of the commander of the city guard in Yanzhou City, the current commander Zhang Yuxing was talking to a Ye Bu Shui about something. After a while, the person left in a hurry without accepting the night, and only Zhang Yuxing with a complicated expression was left in the room.

After a long time, Zhang Yuxing talked slightly, and said to himself: "What a Qilin tiger, what a hundred battles elite Hanwei battalion, you can make such a big move from Shandong, and the Wenxiang Sect that has been entrenched in Shandong for more than ten years is over, this Liu Yunwei really staged a Nezha troubled sea!" If this is reported to the imperial court, it will be difficult for me, the commander of the city guard, to ensure that I will not end up with the self-respect of a thief, and it seems that I need to find a way to remedy it. ”

Zhang Yuxing sat down, took a sip of tea, and thought in his heart: "When this Liu Yunwei made a disturbance in Wenshang County, he also knew that he sent me a letter, it seems that he should be a sensible person." Now that I am fighting with Wenxiangjiao again, maybe I can meet with Liu Yunwei and talk about the aftermath, and then we can discuss the good news together! It seems that I have to go to Yuncheng County in person. Haha, this little Yuncheng County is about to shine! ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuxing made up his mind, so he shouted loudly: "Come on, immediately prepare a guard of honor, this commander is going to Yuncheng County to personally command the war to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect!" ”

A day later, Liu Yunwei led the 4,000-strong army of the Hanwei battalion to the east gate of Yuncheng County. At this time, in the main altar of the Smelling Fragrance Sect in the city, Xu Hongru was sitting in the lobby with his hair scattered, only to see his eyes blood-red and his face pale, like a demon from hell; Chen Canyu was missing at this time, and the main altar was full of panicked people, and the scene in the entire general altar was as if the end was coming.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the main altar gate, and then the door was knocked loudly.

"Open the door! Open the door! The magistrate was ordered to investigate the cult, and those who knew each other quickly opened the door and surrendered! ”

When the people in the main altar heard this, they became even more frightened and helpless, and immediately dispersed in a hurry. At this moment, the gate of the main altar was slammed open, and a group of officials and archers patrolling the city rushed in.
