Chapter 398: Withdrawal of Troops
One "Uncle! Checkmate! Seeing this, the generals beside Pei Changqing were also panicked, and their faces were very frightened.
"I'm fine, and I'll pass on my military order to go down, withdraw my troops immediately, withdraw my troops immediately!" Although Pei Changqing's face turned pale at this time. But at this time, he couldn't help but stabilize his body and roared to give such an order.
Therefore, under such circumstances, those officers and soldiers who had not yet been affected by the front-line war could not help but turn around one after another, preparing to get out of the war.
But for a while, if these people wanted to get out of the war safely and soundly, it would be impossible.
After all, the black-clothed army paid such a big price to obtain this line of fighters, how could they let go of such an opportunity to pursue after victory.
Therefore, as soon as the war drums roared, dozens of black-clad warships like arrows from the string couldn't help but rush towards the warships that were about to turn around and evacuate like sharks that asked about the smell of blood.
"Soldiers, the time has come to make a contribution. Don't let these Tartars get away, rush me!! ”
"Kill, !!" Taking advantage of the victory, the black-clothed army naturally roared to the sky. Therefore, under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side who were thoroughly prepared could not help but panic more and more in their hearts.
panicked in his heart, and he was naturally at a loss. Therefore, before the officers and men of the naval division turned around the warships, the Fish Clippers used for assault couldn't help but pounce on them like sharks.
"Kill, !!" As soon as the two ships touched, a black-clothed sergeant couldn't help but use all kinds of equipment to easily board the ship of the officers and soldiers of the sailor division like an ape.
After that, the warships of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were naturally full of bloody rain.
"Die!" Jingmen monk Li Zhi roared. The incomparably heavy iron halberd in his hand danced, and he couldn't help but kill two enemy soldiers in a row.
Such courage also made the officers and soldiers who were already not very willing to fight even more frightened. Therefore, Li Zhi, who is a thousand-household official of the black-clothed army, gave up his position in order to make war exploits. couldn't help but take advantage of the aftermath and led a group of short-haired soldiers behind him to slaughter all the soldiers on the officers and soldiers' warships.
"Hahahaha, this time it's really happy!" Although before defecting to Zhang Shihua, Li Zhinai was a monk of Jingmen Temple. But if you think about it, you also know that with his character, even if he is a monk in the temple, he is definitely not the person who eats fasting and recites the Buddha and reads the scriptures.
Therefore, although this killing was cruel and horrific, Li Zhi himself did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, when he was still killing until he was rising, he cut off the head of the enemy general and laughed out loud.
"Brothers, this is a great opportunity for us to make a difference. Such opportunities are not easy to come by. Just the head of a thousand households, but it is still not enough. Brothers, at this time, you may also be willing to follow me and kill again! ”
Although he was a thousand-household official in the black-clothed army. But for the hundreds of "brothers" who left the temple and were willing to follow him to join the Black-clothed Army. Li Zhi didn't have any shelf at all, he was still on the same side as usual, and he was called a brother.
So for Li Zhi, his brothers and sisters are also convinced and close to him. Therefore, after Li Zhi said this, these short-haired soldiers who had been monks couldn't help but reply: "But listen to your words, general, don't say that you have attacked and killed this Tartar, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire." ”
"Hahahaha, good! So, brothers, slay with me. Li Zhi sang like this, and then he couldn't help but lead these 'junior brothers' to take the fast boat and rush over again against the officers and soldiers of the sailor division who had not had time to escape.
"Die!" There was another roar over there, and when I looked closely, it was another warship not far from Li Zhi's side. As an officer of the black-clothed army of 100 households, Lu Zhen, who also has three ups and three downs, couldn't help but swing a knife at this time to cut off the leader of a deputy thousand households.
"Haha, this time, with the addition of this guy's head, the official position of deputy Qianhu, it should also be my labor-management mine." Lu Zhen carried the head of the officer and soldier, but his face couldn't help showing a happy expression.
This time, it was because this unruly guy was severely taught a lesson by his Wanhu King Nineteen not long ago.
Therefore, after convincing Wang Nineteen in his heart, he put away his rebellious heart, and he couldn't help but have a strong idea of making contributions.
Therefore, in this battle, as an official of a hundred households, he couldn't help but compete everywhere when fighting against the enemy.
In addition, he himself is also a strong martial artist, so in the past few days, he Lu Zhen has really made a lot of contributions. And with such a meritorious foundation, coupled with his own extraordinary qualifications, the vacant deputy Qianhu is his.
So at this time, Lu Zhen is so happy.
However, although Lu Zhen was happy at this time, he was far from satisfied.
After all, he is a Taihe person. As early as the eleventh year of Zhizheng, when Zhang Shihua raised troops in Taihe, he relied on his own bravery and took dozens of men to take refuge under Zhang Shihua's account.
Therefore, if you only talk about qualifications, in the entire black-clothed army, only the general from the inspection department has higher qualifications than him.
And now at this time, there are people with general qualifications with him in the Black Army. Those who are worse often become serious officials of thousands of households. can look at him Lu Zhen again, when he defected to Zhang Shihua in the eleventh year, he was appointed by Zhang Shihua as the platoon commander of Jiupin.
At this time, he is still only a seven-grade hundred-household official. There is such a gap, it is no wonder that Lu Zhen's heart can be satisfied.
No, at this moment, Lu Zhen, who was carrying the head of the officer and soldier deputy Qianhu, just laughed, and threw the head to his subordinates. Then he led the athletes under his command and continued to attack.
At this time, generals like Li Zhi and Lu Zhen who want to take advantage of this opportunity to behead more people and make contributions to their careers are also everywhere.
So in such a situation, wait until evening, when the black-clothed army Mingjin withdraws his troops. These black-clothed generals couldn't help but get a full 3,000 beheadings for Zhang Shihua. So much so that the number of beheadings was nearly a thousand more than the number of prisoners.
……
At night, in the camp of the sailors at the public dispatch station. The originally orderly battalion of officers and soldiers could not help but be shrouded in panic at this time. After all, the officers and soldiers of the entire Yuezhou Road Naval Division add up to just over 20,000 people.
However, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses lost 5,000 soldiers and horses in one day today. Moreover, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are still the most elite soldiers and horses in the army. Therefore, it is self-evident how strong the fear in the hearts of the remaining officers and soldiers of the Navy Division is.
"Uncle, your body is ......" After experiencing a fiasco like that during the day, Qianhu Pei Song has long lost the pride and ambition of not putting the black-clothed army in his eyes in the early morning. Especially at this juncture, Pei Changqing, who is the backbone of the backbone, vomited blood. So the current Pei Song couldn't help but look confused, and there was some fear in the hesitation.
Therefore, seeing the appearance of his nephew, Pei Changqing, whose face was a little pale, couldn't help but squeeze out a smile, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry." Kindness...... Who's making noise outside the tent? ”
But at this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded outside the tent.
"General, subordinate Lu Lu, meet the general." Because Pei Changqing asked, Pei Song couldn't help but step out of the tent, and brought someone in from outside the tent.
"Lu Lu, you are the deputy commander of our army. At night, why is there a noise outside my tent? Seeing that the person who came was his lieutenant, Pei Changqing couldn't help but ask with a calm face. And the prestige he has cultivated over the years can't help but make Lu Lu's heart skip a beat.
So when Pei Changqing asked this, Lu Lu couldn't help but hurriedly replied: "General, there are a lot of fugitives in the army. Moreover, the generals in the army, at this time, had the idea of withdrawing their troops and returning to Baling City. ”
Well, in fact, Lu Lu was also bent on withdrawing his troops at this time.
However, under Pei Changqing's gaze, Lu Lu didn't dare to say what he thought. Therefore, when Pei Changqing asked, Lu Lu did not push all this to others.
But even so. Suddenly, hearing such words, Pei Changqing's face still couldn't help but turn white. And coughed unbearably, "cough cough...... Ahem"
"General, you ......" Seeing this, Lu Lu couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face.
After all, at this time, Pei Changqing was the backbone of all of them. If something happens to Pei Changqing, then these people will definitely become prisoners of the black-clothed army.
"Withdraw the troops, huh!" However, at this time, Pei Changqing waved his hand, and snorted coldly with a gloomy face.
"In that case, Song'er will call me all the generals outside the tent." Pei Changqing commanded with a gloomy face.
So seeing him like this, Lu Lu, who was standing under the tent, jumped in his heart. In fear, he couldn't help but bow his head deeply.
"Bang~~" There were two soft sounds, and the only remaining dozen or so officers of thousands of households in the army couldn't help but step into the big tent of the Chinese army where Pei Changqing was.
Then, seeing Pei Changqing, who was sitting on the main seat, although his face was a little pale, but the whole person was still very majestic, the generals couldn't help but kneel on the ground in unison, and respectfully bowed to Pei Changqing.
"The last general will wait to meet the general!" The generals knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
But at this time, looking at the generals kneeling on the ground, Pei Changqing did not let them stand up. Instead, he looked at the many generals kneeling on the ground with a cold face and said, "I heard that you and the others have the idea of withdrawing their troops at this time, right?" ”
"This ......" The generals who were kneeling on the ground suddenly heard Pei Changqing ask. Under Pei Changqing's perennial prestige, he didn't dare to speak.
However, the battle of the day brought great fear to these people. Therefore, under such circumstances, a thousand-household official who was quite prestigious in the army couldn't help but muster up the courage to reply: "General, we have this thought. ”
Facing Pei Changqing, who had led them for seven years, even though the general had the courage to answer for peace of mind, he still couldn't help but pull all his comrades down the water.
Then, he raised his head and carefully glanced at Pei Changqing, who was sitting in the main seat, and saw that Pei Changqing's face had not changed. Fang dared to continue: "General, you know. Our army is inferior to the black-clothed thieves. Now it has suffered another great defeat, and has lost 5,000 soldiers and horses at once.
Under this long term, our army is even worse than the black-clothed thief. Therefore, in the eyes of his subordinates, instead of fighting the black-clothed thieves here, it is better to withdraw the troops from Baling, borrow the city to defend it, and slowly figure it out. ”
"Borrow the city to defend it, and slowly figure it out. Very well, then let me ask you, do you all think that way now? Hearing such words, Pei Changqing did not get angry, but asked rhetorically.
And many generals under the account heard Pei Changqing's rhetorical question at this time. thought that they had already persuaded Pei Changqing with words, so they couldn't help but echo their words.
So seeing this, although Pei Changqing's face suddenly became a little gloomy at this time, he couldn't help but nod silently.
"Good, I see. Then, according to your thoughts, when is it better for our army to withdraw at this time? In the end, it is a deep person in the city government, Pei Changqing not only quickly put away the expression on his face, but asked such a sentence to everyone with an indifferent face.
After all, as the supreme commander of the officers and soldiers of the Yuezhou Water Division, Pei Changqing naturally understands the truth that blocking is better than sparse.
After the fiasco during the day, the generals and non-commissioned officers under his command have long been demoralized. In such a situation, even if he could use his prestige to force the requests of his generals. But under the fear in my heart, what role can these soldiers and horses play if they stay here?
Therefore, it is better to follow the trend and negotiate a reasonable withdrawal plan at this time. In order to preserve their own power to the greatest extent.
Thinking like this in his heart, Pei Changqing's complexion naturally softened, and his tone naturally returned to his previous indifference.
Therefore, after asking such words, Pei Changqing couldn't help but wave his hand to the generals under the tent and let them stand up from the ground.
"......" The generals stood up from the ground, and they were not stupid people in their forms, and they were silent, and naturally noticed the changes in Pei Changqing.
understood that Pei Changqing was really persuaded by them.
So in such a situation, they looked at each other, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and think about it.
After all, the word withdrawal is easy to say. However, the implementation also requires a discipline. In particular, a large-scale withdrawal of more than 10,000 troops and under the nose of the enemy like this should be carried out with caution.
Otherwise, if they are not careful, they will be pursued by the black-clad warships, and they will most likely be defeated again in the process.
And if they are in a rout at this time, it really doesn't have to fight.
