Chapter 65: Fame (Part I)
The clouds in the sky are like white clothes, and the beard is like a dog. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
originally knew that Liang Sanbo was not easy to deal with, but the development of things far exceeded the prediction of Jeju regimental training envoy Huang An.
First, I turned around in the reeds outside the water for a long time, and I was almost lost in the reeds that were one person high, and I couldn't see the road, so I turned dizzy.
At this time, a small boat was turned out, and three fishermen came over to provoke, insulting the officials and soldiers in various ways, and some people recognized that this was the three Ruan brothers who robbed the Shengchengang and killed the officials and soldiers.
Huang An hurriedly ordered someone to release the arrow, but it was covered by the three heroes of the Ruan family with a green fox skin, but it had no effect. Huang An ordered people to step up rowing to catch up. But how can a group of people catch up with the three heroes of the Nguyen family? A few small boats chased too fast, but they were turned back and boarded by Nguyen Thiong Sanxiong, killed cleanly, and even cut off his left ear.
Fortunately, following the three Ruan brothers, they finally got out of the reeds, entered the vast water, followed all the way, and then reached the mountain in the middle of the water, a golden sandy beach, which was the best place for the ship to land.
Huang An was proud, this thief was really a thief, he didn't know military strategy, and he was easily tracked to the lair by his own trick of "wanting to capture and indulge".
The three Nguyen brothers did not go ashore in a small boat, but continued to flee along the shore. Hoang An ordered more than 20 ships to hunt down the three Nguyen brothers. The rest of the generals landed on Jinsha Beach and attacked Liangshan Cottage after gathering.
Before the first pass, all the generals of Liangshan watched the movements of the officers and troops condescendingly, and when they saw that half of the officers and troops had landed, Wu Yong suggested: "The art of war is cloudy, and the attack is half-crossed." While the official army was only half landed, it was the time to attack. ”
Chao covered his head, touched his beard, and looked at Chao Chong.
Chao Chong shook his head and said, "If you just want to win, it's easy." If you want to train troops, you need to wait for the officers and soldiers to gain a firm foothold. ”
Wu Yong said worriedly: "There are thousands of officers and soldiers, and there are only a thousand soldiers on my mountain, and I am afraid that the casualties will be too heavy!" ”
Chao Chong didn't care: "The flag of the officers and soldiers is unknown, the discipline is not strict, the commander shouts loudly, and the soldiers are lazy and lazy. Such a weak army is just used for training. If these goods can't be defeated, how to deal with Cai Jing's old thief who will be transferred to the Central Forbidden Army to attack in the future? ”
Wu Yong still wanted to admonish, but Gongsun Sheng shook his head at him and said, "Can the prince be sure of victory?" The training of our soldiers on the mountain has only been more than ten days. ”
Chao Chong smiled: "I trust the generals, and the generals will not let me down!" ”
Gongsun Sheng arched his hand and said, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
After another stick of incense, all the officers and troops landed. Chao Chong arched his hand at Chao Gai and said, "Father's time has come!" ”
Chao Gai nodded and said, "Let's go to war!" ”
Chao Chong took the order and shouted: "Raise the flag!" ”
The three-zhang Canglong Banner was erected in the first level, which immediately attracted the attention of Huang An on the golden beach. He saw that the first pass of Liangshan was four or five zhang high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he was worried about himself. Suddenly, I saw a big flag erected in the pass, and then the gate was opened, and a group of soldiers came down the pass.
Above the first level of the city, the tall and majestic Chao Gai and Wu Yong in the scholar's costume, and Gongsun Sheng in the Xianfeng Dao bone costume appeared, and Chao Gai said: "The city is Huang Tuanlian." Attack my Liangshan for no reason, what is the matter? ”
Huang An looked up and scolded: "The thief who should be killed, robbed Master Cai Jing's treasure, caused us to suffer, and dared to pretend to be innocent!" Today, I am on the order of Fu Yin, and I have come to exterminate Er and others, and those who know each other will quickly go down to the city and surrender, and escort you to the capital division, and you can live for a few more days. If you don't know each other, step through the cottage and kill on the spot! ”
Chao Gai laughed loudly, and his heroic spirit echoed in front of the pass: "I Chao Gai has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, never afraid, never surrendered!" Don't say that Cai Jing, a thief who looted the people's fat and ointment, even if the Tokyo official came in person, I would spit on him! The officers and soldiers of the regiment training in the city also have families, children and daughters, and parents who need to be honored, are they really willing to meet me with Chao Gai for the sake of a thief who is far away from the world? ”
Huang An saw that Chao Gai was disintegrating the army's heart, and hurriedly said: "We will eat the court's money, get the court's grace, and we should be inseparable from you and other thieves." ”
Chao Gai laughed again and said, "Grace from the imperial court? Those of you who are officials will naturally be rewarded by the imperial court, but ordinary soldiers will only have a small income. Is it worth it? You must know that the battlefield has no eyes, broken arms, missing thighs, and lost your life, that is your own bad luck, and the government will not give you a penny of mercy. ”
Huang An saw that the soldiers behind him were really a little commotion, so he hurriedly shouted: "If you want to fight, you will fight, so long-winded!" ”
Chao Gai saw that Chao Chong and his soldiers had lined up outside the first pass, so he said, "As you wish!" War! ”
Chao Chong, who received the order, said in a loud voice: "The enemy is ahead, rush forward!" ”
Wu Song's second capital was mainly sword and shield soldiers, who were at the front of the line, with wooden shields facing their chests and steel knives in their right hands. Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng stood at the front of the team and shouted: "Rush forward! Rush! ”
The three spearmen lined up in a row, following the sword and shield men, advancing like a wall. Lei Ting, Luda, Liu Tang and others all stood at the front of the queue, carrying three back flags behind them, which were dazzling. also said loudly: "Rush, rush!" ”
The soldiers, under the maintenance of their respective captains and commanders, kept their formations neat, and they all shouted: "Rush forward! Rush! Rush! ”
Chao Chong, Li Kui, and Zhou Tong stood at the end. Zhou Tong carried the three-zhang Canglong flag and moved forward steadily.
The two teams of archers on the mountain no longer occupied the formation alone, but became the fifth team of the first capital, and the fifth team of the third capital.
Huang An saw that the soldiers and horses of Liangshan were pressed over like a wall, and according to the traditional tactics of the Great Song Dynasty, the troops formed a formation, and the archers stepped forward and threw their heads up.
Wu Song shouted: "Raise your shield and rush forward!" ”
The sword and shield soldiers at the front raised their shields high, and under the leadership of the captain and the chief, they also shouted: "Raise the shield and advance!" ”
The sword and shield soldiers looked at their feet, still marching forward with neat steps!
People will always subconsciously look at the person closest to them, and the archers will also subconsciously shoot at the most front enemy. The sword and shield soldiers were covered by shields and suffered few casualties.
The spearmen marched firmly under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers.
The archer shot three times, and the sword and shield soldiers had already advanced twenty paces in front of them. The archers who were not psychologically good turned and ran backwards, and the archers were broken.
Huang An saw that the archers were finished, so he drove the soldiers forward to fight hand-to-hand.
Seeing that the enemy's archers were retreating and his mission was completed, Wu Song ordered: "Scatter on both sides and hold down the position!" ”
Like a door, the sword and shield soldiers suddenly opened from the middle and headed to both sides, revealing the phalanx of spearmen behind them.
Chao Chong shouted: "Spearmen rush into battle!" Push the enemy into the water! ”
Thunder, Luda, and Liu Tang immediately shouted: "Rush into battle!" Charge! "I also ran quickly to kill the official army!
The soldiers shouted: "Charge! Charge! Charge! "The spear is like a forest, and it has been pushed flat.
The archers of the 5th team of the 1st capital, and the archers of the 5th team of the 3rd capital began to shoot freely.
Huang An hurriedly met the battle, but found that the generals of Liangshan were like wolves and tigers, the soldiers of Liangshan were united, and the officers and soldiers under his command were constantly stabbed to death, and they were compressed and retreated step by step.
Wu Song's sword and shield soldiers did not take the initiative to attack, but they always took a step forward when the officers and troops retreated, gradually compressing the officers and troops.
Huang An shouted desperately, but there was a cry around him, where could he still hear his voice, the officers and soldiers in front retreated step by step, and the officers and soldiers in the rear could no longer care about it, turned around and fled towards the ships on the shore.
One person fled, and soon a large crowd of people followed, and then the whole rout.
Chao Chong saw the official army fleeing, so he said to Zhou Channel, who was carrying the flag: "Shake the flag, let the gate be closed and light the wolf smoke!" ”
Zhou Tong shook the flag, Chao Gai saw it on the close, ordered someone to light the wolf smoke, and a pillar of black smoke rose into the air, as high as more than ten zhang.
The three heroes of the Ruan clan had already introduced the officers and soldiers who were chasing them into an ambush, wiped them out, and led fifty small boats to ambush in a hidden place.
Seeing the wolf smoke rising, the three heroes of the Ruan clan cheered, and led all the sailors to rush to the small boats where the officers and soldiers were moored, and killed them from behind, throwing oil cans one by one onto the small boats of the officers and soldiers, setting them on fire, and the fire was full of smoke.
Huang An saw that the back road was cut off, and he also wanted to learn from Han Xin's backwater. Boost morale and said: "I wait for the back road to be cut off, only one battle, kill the thief, and reward ten taels of silver!" ”
It's a pity that his shouts were drowned out by the cries of the officers and soldiers, and they didn't have much effect.
Li Kui's heart itched when he looked at Chao Chong's side, and he frequently looked at Chao Chong with his eyes, Chao Chong smiled, and when he saw the overall situation, he said: "Tie Niu, go and give the order, the whole army will besiege!" ”
Li Kui was overjoyed, picked up two plate axes, rushed to the front of the formation, and said in a loud voice: "The general has an order, the whole army is besieged!" ”
Wu Song, Shen Tulie, and Cao Zheng have been looking forward to this news for a long time, their sword and shield soldiers have been holding down their positions on both flanks, but they can't take the initiative to attack, and their military merits must be much less than others, and when they heard Li Kui's order, they were overjoyed and said: "Attack, attack!" ”
Under the siege of the Sidu soldiers, the official army led by Huang An shrank smaller and smaller, and finally they were all crowded together, and those who wanted to jump into the water to escape were also killed by the naval army led by Nguyen Thi Sanxiong.
Huang An saw that the general trend was gone, and he also wanted to jump into the water to escape, but when he saw the three heroes of the Ruan clan killing the diving officers and soldiers viciously, pulling on a boat and cutting off his left ear, his heart was furious. In the end, he didn't dare to dive into the water, hiding in the crowd and not daring to move.
When sheep are besieged by wolves, they do not want to break through the siege, but they all want to squeeze into the middle of the group, because it is safest there. As a result, no one can escape.
Chao Chong saw that the officers and soldiers had no desire to fight, so he decided to end the battle, stepped forward with Zhou Tong carrying the banner, and ordered in a loud voice: "Suspend the attack!" Surrender the gun and don't kill, kneel to avoid death! ”
Under the restraint of the captains of each team, the Liangshan soldiers gradually stopped the attack and shouted together: "Surrender the gun and don't kill, kneel on the ground to avoid death!" ”
Seeing this, those officers and soldiers threw their spears and steel knives on the ground and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Huang An also knelt down obediently, hoping to avoid death.
The Liangshan soldiers stepped forward and tied up the captives. Then he began to clean up the battlefield under the leadership of Dutou, and Marquis Yu began to count the casualties of our army, the casualties of the enemy army, and the number of prisoners.
In the end, our army lost 37 casualties, 92 were slightly and seriously wounded, and minor injuries were negligible.
The enemy lost 420 casualties, 400 were lightly wounded and captured, and Huang An was captured by the regimental training.
The battle for Golden Beach ended in victory.
Chao Gai, who was watching the battle at the first level, excitedly said to Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Gui, Du Qian, and Song Wan: "Go and prepare a banquet to comfort the defeated soldiers!" ”
This was Liangshan's first battle against the official army, and it had achieved such a big victory, and Wu Yong and others were also full of confidence in the future.
Zhu Gui, Du Qian, and Song Wan were under the leadership of Wang Lun before, when did they have such a big victory, they excitedly went to kill cattle and horses, and had a feast in the cottage. self-brewing good wine, fresh lotus root and fresh fish from the water; On the Shannan tree, there are sometimes new peaches, apricots, plums, plums, loquats, mountain dates, persimmons, chestnuts and the like; Self-raised chickens, pigs, geese, ducks and other goods do not need to be detailed.
At the end of the war, Chao Chong ordered Ruan Xiaoer to lead the naval army to pick up the leopard Tao cavalry and Long Xiang cavalry from Shijie Village. Hundreds of good horses were also brought back. Chao Chong waved his pen and transferred the good horses to Leopard Tao and Long Xiang as mounts, and the rest of the bad horses were allocated to the labor and service department to do foot strength.
Everyone got together and had a good get-together, and the soldiers on the mountain had a two-day holiday, and there was no limit to drinking. The soldiers applauded.
In the past two days, Chao Chong has not been idle, collecting the amount of military merits reported by the soldiers, checking them, registering them, and then copying a copy to Du Qian's blacksmith battalion, so that they can plate the identity of the soldiers with copper plates, and reward the soldiers without military merits, and so on.
But there is no way, the generals on the mountain can fight, these numbers are calculated, and the things of the rank and level are made by them.
With no choice, Chao Chong thought of a bad move, he asked Shi Qian's intelligence department to go down the mountain to find those showmen who fell to the bottom, and kidnapped more than 30 people to go up the mountain. After some training, you can also do some things such as registering and calculating military merits, and then you will be assigned to the audit department of the Ministry of Finance.
After the two-day holiday, Chao Chong also finished calculating the military merits with Uncle Cai, Fu Bo, and Wu Dalang, who were in charge of the property. An all-army conference was convened.
The conference mainly has two major contents, one is to reward meritorious soldiers. The second is to bury the soldiers who died in battle.
On the high platform, Chao Gai sat in the middle, and Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were on both sides. Zhu Gui, Du Qian, Song Wan, Uncle Cai, Fu Bo, Wu Da and others attended.
Chao Chong is in charge of presiding.
First of all, Chao Gai made an evaluation of the battle of Golden Beach, praising the soldiers for their courage to kill the enemy and raise the morale of Liangshan. Then it was for Chao Chong to read out the list of rewards.
Chao Chong read the name in order from low to high according to the military exploits, a total of more than 200 people made military merits in this battle, and Chao Chong took the trouble to read the names one by one. All the soldiers who heard the name felt a shock in their spirits.
After that, Chao Chong said: "Those who have made meritorious contributions have been registered, and after the scene is dismissed, the first month's Yulu will be distributed." Those who have no meritorious service, and the administrative staff on the mountain, will also receive a reward of 1,000 wen for this battle. I hope you will keep up the good work! ”
Although those soldiers who have not made meritorious contributions are lost, they can be rewarded with a thousand Wen, that is, consistent money, which can be regarded as a consolation. Those administrators who did not participate in the war, and those who worked in the blacksmith shop, were also rewarded, and they were even more unexpectedly happy.
Chao Chong recruited the top ten military achievements to the high platform, and Chao Gai awarded them copper-plated military medals.
Although Lin Chong and Yang Zhi also won a big victory, the enemy only had a hundred people, and both of them only gained 5 points of military merit and two stars;
Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song, and Shen Tulie received 7 military merits and three stars;
Thunder, Luda, and Liu Tang received 8 points of military merit and lit up four stars.
Instead, Ruan Xiaoer scored 11 military merits for luring the enemy in the river, killing two boatloads of people, and later intercepting and killing the officers and soldiers who fell into the water, and took the lead in lighting up five stars.
Li Kui joined the war late, obtained 4 military merits, and his military card lit up with two stars; I almost didn't be able to stand on the stage, and I was depressed.
Cao Zheng, Li Zhong, and Chao Sheng only received 2 military merits.
Chao Yang, Dongfang Xiao, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng also only received 2 military merits. It's not that they don't want to make meritorious contributions, it's that there are too few enemies and not enough points.
Zhou Tong couldn't participate in the war because he had been standing beside Chao Chong and carrying the flag, so he had no military merits, and then looked at the Sanzhang Canglong Banner, his heart was full of resentment, remembering the excitement when Li Kui saw him enter the escort team and hurriedly handed over the banner to himself, Zhou Tong felt that he had fallen into the pit.
After the reward, the assembly began to move on to the second item, the funeral of the dead soldiers.
With Chao Chong's order, thirty-seven wooden coffins were carried to the front of the stage. Chao Chong said: "The soldiers in the army fought bravely to kill the enemy. Life should be rich, death should be glory. We will do our best to find their relatives and continue to distribute them for 10 years if they have military merits. Those who do not have military merits will be given 20 strokes at a time. ”
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the staff of his own finance department stepped forward with a wooden plate full of copper coins to show everyone.
No matter how nice the words are, there is no Huang Cancan's copper coin display in front of the soldiers. Chao Chong just wanted to give the soldiers the impression that Liang Shan's words counted. This was also the beginning of the establishment of the credibility of the Yangsan regime.
After the finance department personnel went down. Chao Chong said again: "I once said that there are no enemies in front of the soldiers on the battlefield, only enemies. We have no personal grudges with those officers and soldiers. But there is a public vendetta. In that case, they will have to pay the price. Bring it on! ”
Huang An, the Jeju regimental training envoy, and more than 20 leaders above the captain level of some regimental training troops were brought out, and the knife and axe men worked in pairs and pressed them to kneel in front of the 37 coffins.
Chao Chong said: "Sacrifice with blood and send me a heroic spirit!" Chop! ”
The head of the knife and axe hand slashed down, and the head was separated, and blood was all over the ground.
Chao Chong waved his hand, and the knife and axe hand dragged the dead body away.
Chao Chong shouted again: "The first evil is eliminated, and the rest is a misdemeanor." Follow the procedure for them to kowtow to our Heroic Spirits three times. Then they were assigned to raise horses, chop firewood, repair cities, and pave roads. Bring it on! ”
More than 400 officers and soldiers were first scared to death when they saw the blood stains in front of the coffin, thinking that they would also be killed like Huang An. But when I heard that I could avoid death by just kowtowing, I was overjoyed, and I didn't dare to complain about raising horses, chopping wood, repairing cities, and paving roads.
The kowtow of the four hundred captives was completed. Chao Chong said in a loud voice: "All of them have, salute the martyrs who died in battle!! ”
"Boast! Handsome! There were two neat sounds, and the soldiers and horses of the whole army stood upright, holding weapons in their left hands and clapping their fists in their hearts with their right hands. Look ahead, blazing.
Chao Chong jumped off the high platform and walked towards the thirty-seven coffins, each coffin was carried by four people, and the soldiers who carried the coffins were already in place. Chao Chong walked to the front position, replaced a soldier carrying the coffin, and said in a loud voice: "The heroic spirit is not far away, go all the way!" Spirit! ”
The soldiers in the audience shouted in unison: "The heroic spirit is not far away, go all the way!" ”
"The Heroic Spirit is not far away, go all the way!"
"The Heroic Spirit is not far away, go all the way!"
Chao Chong took the lead in carrying the coffin and went to the back mountain to bury the bones. A cemetery will be built there, and someone will be sent to clean it.
These soldiers were originally just villagers under the mountain, and later after going up the mountain, they were just damned thieves in the mouths of the people, and the insignificant little minions in the eyes of the leader had never been respected, but at this moment, ordinary soldiers had such a grand funeral, and the highest military leader personally carried the coffin, and the soldiers were excited one by one. It seems that there is an indescribable, inexplicable thing suppressed in the throat and eyes, and wants to gush out. I don't know who shouted first, "The general is mighty!" ”
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
What started as a sporadic shout turned into a neat and unified shout. The soldiers didn't seem to shout anything, and it was hard to control themselves.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the military flag has been upgraded"
Name: Canglong Banner
Level: Lv2
Coverage: 100 meters.
Military Spirit: 1. Honor (The soldier has a preliminary understanding of glory and craves praise.) +1 battlefield morale.)
2. Cohesion (the soldier highly identifies with the leadership and turns into a centripetal force. Battlefield Discipline +1)
On the high platform, Chao Gai nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng glanced at each other, and were surprised in their hearts, this Chao Chong was willing to do so much to rein in the army's heart!
