Chapter 371: Engaging the Enemy

Lao Tzu won the battle and knocked a lot of money back, but before he could show off the scenery, the important stronghold in the rear was copied.

I'm really full of questions, or I really want to scold the straight lady thief or something

Anyway, it is two full-fledged main battalions, plus the thousands of people withdrawn from Liu Yanqing's department, it is difficult to say what to go out to fight in the field, with the materials and equipment left behind, it should be more than enough to fortify the city and defend itself

In this way, he will lose his stronghold and baggage, and run out lightly.

But according to Cui Bangbi and Yang Zaixing's rhetoric, the so-called disaster Xiao Wall, the fortress is all Yunyun that has been breached inside, and this time it is not far away.

Because they focused on the pursuit troops from Caozhou, but they didn't expect that this time the enemy was killed from the east and south.

Although the south side was all the way to the division, it was blocked by the auxiliary army brigade left behind in Juye County, and successfully repelled it according to the city, killing thousands of each.

However, because the deployment in the east was relatively weak, such as Sucheng and Pinglu counties, there were only some sentry troops responsible for maintaining the local guards, so these strongholds were quickly lost, and they were beaten to the city of Yuncheng at once.

I was worried that among the local stragglers and husbands in Yunzhou, there were signs of instability because of the comeback of the Northern Army, so I specially sent people to monitor it, but I didn't expect the problem to lie with Liu Yanqing.

"It's all the fault of one family......"

Liu Yanqing, whose eyes were bloodshot, said with an urn

Because, in the process of recovering the rear troops who fled back one after another, it was inevitable that the Northern Army would be mixed with the spies of the Northern Army.

Because his troops were replenished in Huaibei, there was no lack of Huaishang accents, and he was a little unchecked for a while, and as a result, the fierce battle reached a critical juncture, and he set fire to the city, so that the northern army took the opportunity to find a gap in the direction of the water gate of the city wall.

Then this gap eventually became the fuse for the gradual collapse of the defensive line of the city, and when the northern army opened two gates in a row, the situation was irreparable.

No matter how awesome the firearms troops on the left wing of the new army were, they could not turn defeat into victory in the hand-to-hand street battles besieged several times, so they could only resist step by step, and abandon the city and break out of the siege.

Then, these defeated men and horses went south along the west bank of Onozawa, trying to converge the troops of Juye County, and then make plans, but they collided head-on with the other northern army that appeared in Juye County, and fought again.

The soldiers led by the two battalions had not been rested for a long time, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted, and they still could not stand firm, so they had to fight and retreat to the south, moving closer to Xuzhou.

After counting the number of people, it was found that Yang Zaixing's fourth battalion was transformed from a traditional army dominated by cold soldiers, and was more good at melee combat, so this time he came out seventy percent, and there were still eight adult manpower along the way; Cui Bangbi's third battalion is much worse, and the structure that can continue to be maintained, and when it is finally retracted, it is only a little more than fifty percent.

And the three auxiliary brigades that coordinated also ran out as a system, and those skirmishers whose combat effectiveness and organization were even worse really became "skirmishers", and they were scattered and divided into the city or died or surrendered, and only seven or eight small regiments with incomplete defects spontaneously followed the auxiliary army brigade to protrude from another city gate, and then ran away and fell behind on the road.

And most of these stragglers who ran out and did not fall behind were actually locally recruited Yunzhou people.

However, after asking the reason a little, they were relieved, they were just afraid of the liquidation and accountability of the comeback of the Northern Army, so they had to run out.

After all, when these people were still local regimental exercises, they participated in the internal strife to expel the Hedong Army, and took refuge in the left wing of the New Army to fight several battles, I don't know how much blood of the Northern Army was stained, and there was no turning back.

Therefore, all these horses that joined me in my headquarters had to be set on fire or destroyed, except for the firearms and equipment that they carried with them.

"Just in time for ......"

I confronted them and said it in no uncertain terms.

"How to retreat, just how to fight over......"

In Juye County, the traces after the battle have not disappeared, and groups of Northern Army soldiers are carefully cleaning the battlefield on the ruins, searching for something at the same time.

"Is this the firearm used by those puppet new army ......?"

The Weiyuan Army was in control, and Huaihua placed Li Chuwen in control, carefully examining a long gun left on the battlefield. Because of the deliberate destruction of the defeated Southern Army, there are not many firearms that can still be preserved in their hands.

He also had his own reasons for being serious, because nearly half of the tens of thousands of troops in Nandu were defeated at the hands of the army that used this weapon.

Whether it is for the Hebei Xingtai military order that crossed the river, or for the northern imperial court, the loss of these three main army orders, which can be called the border of Changzhen, will have far greater consequences and impacts than imagined.

On the one hand, because they were defeated or even annihilated in battle, not in the enemy's machinations, or in ambushes and raids, they were defeated by a superior enemy. This also somewhat broke the consistent propaganda and impression that the military horses of the Southern Dynasties were generally weak and intolerant of drowning in battle.

On the other hand, in the disputed Northland, it is not uncommon to lose troops of all kinds, and it is even a common thing to say, and in a certain sense, the soldiers at the bottom are the least valuable things.

Anyway, the land is full of people who can't eat enough and can't survive, and every year they are hungry and have no food to make trouble, and they are suppressed and co-opted, and it has become a regular norm. As long as you can fight, it is not uncommon to go from a thief to a soldier, and then from a soldier to a thief.

It really can't be done, just send your own soldiers to the countryside, and you can come back with a string of recruits wearing strings of ropes. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, just drive them into battle, and those who can come back are naturally qualified soldiers.

And veterans with many battles of experience are undoubtedly relatively expensive things, and they are also the basic team and reliance of any general to regroup and make a comeback, but as long as there are benefits and costs, it is not impossible to lose.

However, the battle-hardened officers and generals are different, as the political ecology of the Northern Dynasty with the status of strong soldiers and strong horses, unless it is the establishment of the Chinese and foreign armies of the national dynasty, there is still no room for many mediocre people who rely on nepotism or rely on nepotism alone.

In the case of the Erxiangping Navy, any general of the time-honored military order and the main force is a precious wealth soaked out of the survival of the fittest in the sea of corpses and blood. Just like this, even if he was in charge of Zhang Shuye, it was not as easy as verbally speaking.

Therefore, for the left wing of this new army, it is also very important, and this time it is natural to take a city by surprise.

It's a pity that because of a certain relationship with the Ping Navy, and because of the well-respected Duyu Marquis Zhou Xingwen, the revenge mentality of being seriously injured by stray bullets, the soldiers of the headquarters slaughtered the remnants of the defeated city in a rage-like manner.

Therefore, when he personally led the team to stop it, among the limited number of captives, there were not many important job agents and people with identity to meet Li Chuwen's needs for torture.

"Except for the front end can be equipped with a sharp blade, and the short spear can be used to pierce the ......"

This is the conclusion that Li Chuwen finally came to after fiddling with people for a long time,

"It's not much different from most of the styles used in the country......"

To be honest, what he felt even more was the fierceness and tenacity of these southern soldiers in hand-to-hand combat in unfavorable street battles. It can be said that in addition to being slightly inferior in shape, it is not inferior to the soldiers on the front line of the northern country in other aspects.

"I can actually defeat the Shenbiao army, I think it's still because of people......

With that, he handed the long gun in his hand to his own soldiers.

"Since it is Xiao Zhang's order, then transfer all these battlefield captures and prisoners to ......"

"Report ......"

At this time, a Yu Hou came in and said.

"The Left Banner Battalion has discovered the traces of the defeated enemy and is engaged in ......"
