Chapter 920: Linzhi 20

Although, the attacking enemy and the flood have retreated together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But outside the eastern suburbs of Luodu, in the mud and dirt all over the ground, except for a few horses that have not yet been knocked down and broken fences, there are no traces of the original camp.

The moats, which were soaked with water inside and outside the walls, were also filled with filthy debris, and the corpses of men and horses that had been faintly washed over were quickly swollen by the soaking and attracted a large swarm of buzzing mosquitoes and flies.

Through the follow-up efforts of the remnants of the former army, nearly 1,000 survivors were finally recovered, most of whom were scattered former sergeants;

It's just that most of them are covered with mud and their hands are empty, but they have thrown away the armor and armor that never leave them, and the comrades who came to rescue and respond in front of them are only dejected, ashamed, or resentful.

This sudden defeat was simply inexplicable and a blow to their optimism, light victory, and reserved mood that had always permeated the army.

Unexpectedly, the enemy army dared to defy the world's condemnation, and at the cost of the river pouring into the city, they took the risk of digging the upper reaches of the canal, which had swelled due to heavy rains for several days.

Then there is the drama of flooding the Seventh Army. And the panicked request for help after the Zhenxiong army encountered the enemy before, but the former military headquarters that came to meet them also went in.

As a result, the flood that broke out of the shore broke through the defense line and camp of the Zhenxiong Army that were waiting for the battle, and even the front army headquarters that came to support was also submerged.

Most of the so-called sub-medicine heavy firearms equipment are submerged in water or wet and cannot be used again.

Although this flood came and went quickly, it only overflowed the thighs of most people, and the resulting damage was almost minimal; However, it broke down and broke up the layout and defense line in the camp in disguise, and at the same time, the enemy who suddenly appeared outside the camp became the most fatal blow.

With firewood, grass and wooden planks prepared in advance, they forcibly laid several offensive routes in the mud and stagnant water.

Then these enemy troops from the north of the city swarmed over the water and mudflats with swarms of short-bladed light soldiers, and easily broke down and dispersed most of the camp outside the city.

The slow response and missed aircraft of the Weining Army, which was stationed at another city gate recently, exacerbated the magnification of this disaster and its consequences.

They almost sat idly by, losing the sharpness and long-range suppression of their firearms, and could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy's front divisions, fighting hard in the mud and fighting many disadvantages, and finally being crushed by the superior enemy before the reinforcements of their own army arrived.

Thus, after almost half of the strength has been lost; As the commander Wei Chen's pre-battle disposal, the means of disposal were also quite severe, not only ordered the Weining Army commander, deputy commander, left and right commanders, and branch commanders to delay the fighters, etc., but also heavily punished a number of military sticks, fined three years and demoted to the fifth rank, deprived of all meritorious rewards, and retained the position to continue the pre-military colonel redemption;

and allocated a thousand capable soldiers from the Weining Army; Together with the remnants of the Zhenxiong army that were collected after being dispersed, they were all incorporated into their own formation;

Then, in order to fill the missing line of defense, and the opportunity to ask for reinforcements and supplies from the Central Route Army, the Central Route Army invited a dissatisfied army to move to the eastern suburbs of the town; By the way, 2,000 gunners were also transferred as a supplement and explanation for the former military headquarters that had lost more than half of them;

With such a series of back-up actions and disposals, the aftermath of this matter has finally been put aside for the time being. However, in a short period of time, the first part of the three armies of the Henan Special Army can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality, and it will no longer be offensive and wary.

Moreover, the resulting internal dislike and estrangement are not so easy to eliminate in a short period of time.

Of course, as the vanguard general transferred to the Chinese army, Suo Chao was also one of the most affected people, because he found out that the old army he belonged to was gone overnight.

He was then promoted to the newly established vanguard unit, with a command of about 3,000 soldiers and horses.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In the camp of the Northern Army, there was also a jubilant atmosphere, and even the Generalissimo's Mansion quickly and directly sent encouragement and rewards.

"The so-called invincible Manchu is nothing more than that."

"Without firearms, it's nothing."

"They rushed over in the rain, and in a few moments they collapsed."

"It's a pity that the ground is full of water and mud, and something is flooded."

"Except for a few flags, there are no decent seizures."

In the midst of all kinds of chattering in the military tent,

As the protagonist who led this victory in the east of the city, Yang Keshi, who had just entered the Jue as the Marquis of Boling, and was deployed from the second grade, was also receiving congratulations and congratulations from the left and right, but there was still a little unfinished and faint regret in his heart.

Because, after the painstaking layout this time, the final results and victories were not able to fully meet his best expectations; Judging from the captured banners, it was only the two military orders that broke and annihilated the Southern Army, and it was entrenched in the east of the city

In addition, what made him even more concerned was that the Southern Dynasty armies that he accidentally encountered and defeated this time were obviously different or even far from the Huai armies he had come into contact with in the past.

At least in terms of tactics and contingencies in encounters, they are much more rigid and dogmatic, and will only defend themselves on the spot instead of actively looking for fighters to save the situation and decline; Moreover, the will to fight and tenacity are not so durable, and the martial arts and training may be there, but in terms of experience and change in the battle formation, they will lose slightly compared to their own subordinates.

You must know that the Huaidong soldiers in his impression, once they were close to each other, dared to stand up in groups and take the initiative to launch a white-knuckle counterattack against the enemy, and buy time and buffer for the rear team to deploy and counterattack.

Of course, out of some politically correct requirements and considerations, he could not openly reveal such feelings and thoughts, but could only use relatively unfathomable acquiescence and silence to solidify and strengthen this slightly exaggerated impression and results.

After all, as the local military order in Henan, there are not a few generals who are directly or indirectly guilty of Huai phobia, including almost most of the generals under the command of Yang Keshi and Zhang Dekun.

Without the encouragement of this miraculous victory, they may not even have the courage and determination to face the famous "Man Wan Invincible" head-on.

And the defeat of the Divine Symbol Army, which also belongs to the Weapon Force, a few days ago, seems to indirectly prove this result and rumors, and now it is finally because of Yang Keshi's military miracle of risking the use of soldiers, and the morale of the people has been well recovered.

After saying goodbye to the busy area, after returning to his station, an ugly-looking soldier beside Yang Keshi gave him a message.

Yang Si, the secretary of the military department, came to visit him? , he was slightly surprised.

After all, it seems that the big guy and several generals who have promoted him, as well as the corresponding imperial sect or something, are already very far away.

As for the secretary of the military department who is responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass and the allocation of civilian service, there have been several connections over the years, but there is little intersection in other than that.

Of course, Yang Si in the meeting did not have any extraneous words, it seemed that he was just a simple reminiscence and friendship, recalling some familiar people and things.

That's when I talked about a matter and a public case.

However, it was the storage in Hanjiacang City, which was different from the amount allocated, and repeated lawsuits were brought to the front of the emperor; As the secretary of the military department who assisted the Marshal's Office in supervising the food affairs, he felt that there might be some shortcomings in it, so he asked the Generalissimo's Office permission for an in-depth investigation.

It's just that the resistance that may be encountered in the interior is not small, and I hope to be able to borrow a number of manpower from him as a driving effect, preferably a foreign native and bold and careful, and a hundred warriors who are accustomed to seeing blood in their hands.

In order to deter those who are reluctant to camp, it is also to protect any evidence that corresponds to it; After all, under him, the secretary of the military department, only had some guards on duty available.

Everything seemed so reasonable, there were no problems or ends, even the official documents and seals on secondment were readily available.

Since the result of the investigation of the malpractices is, after all, for the sake of ensuring the food and clothing of the former soldiers of the army, he naturally has no reason to refuse and shirk.
