Actually alive, Hu Yanzhuo wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth with some joy, and touched the swollen and painful part of his chest, although he quickly broke the spear from the other party, but he was still stabbed on his body by the remaining stubble, and pushed out several steps

Therefore, with the movement of raising his hand, it is still a pain of hunting, but for an old soldier like him, who is often injured, it is not an unbearable thing.

Throwing away the half of the spearhead he had snatched in his hand, Hu Yanzhuo picked up a silver-edged knife used by a horseman again and hung it on his body with the sheath.

The only ones who can be equipped with this kind of finely decorated weapons are the horse team athletes of the Yaqian Army directly under Xingtai, and it seems that most of the governors have made up their minds, and there is no possibility of turning back.

It's just that

He didn't expect that he would encounter a real "criminal state rebellion" in hiding and fleeing. Then they accidentally hit and stumbled into an ambush, and by the way, they were unintentionally saved.

The strong men of these salt smugglers on the seashore were armed as much as possible with the weapons and armor captured by the Southern Army, and were given enough food and salary for activities in the short term.

Therefore, although in the current situation, they have fallen behind and are scattered, but in the short term, it is not so easy to extinguish, after all, no one will obediently obey when they are armed.

And that Dadu Governor still has the reputation and record of luring and killing prisoners after surrendering, so in the short term, don't expect to rebel in these criminal states, lay down your arms and obediently obey.

Then Hu Yanzhuo took off a Fan Yang hat that was still intact on another corpse, skimmed off the soil, and put it on his body along with an iron ring vest armor that had been shot through a small hole, and then wrapped his waist and abdomen with a large piece of cut off.

Then, he brought a pack horse loaded with armor, helped Wu Jialiang, who was flushed and paralyzed on the ground panting, and followed those criminal state rebels to leave this hasty ambush place......

On the south bank of the Yellow River, under the city of Weinan in Huazhou, there was already a celebratory atmosphere of a big drinking and banquet in the army.

Liu Yanqing's department, who came to respond, also brought a large number of pigs, sheep, cows, wine and other rewards, just to comfort the soldiers of each battalion on the spot. After all, in the past month or so in Hebei, there has been no shortage of meals and camps, and because of the ugliness, he has eaten and eaten dry food and water, and his mouth has long faded out of the bird.

And I sat in the tower with the tent open, and watched the sparks in the camp below, the soldiers around the fire, turning and cutting the pigs and sheep roasted on the fire, and holding the locally collected light wine, munching on greasy hands, or calling friends to invite them to change glasses. ，

Liu Yanqing, on the other hand, gave me a bit of a stern account of the many things that have happened since our army went to Hebei.

First of all, the bad news, the southeast road has just suffered an unprecedented defeat in the rear line in front of the Duqian Dao army.

He was ordered to draw out and outflank and intercept the five dissatisfied military orders of Guangwei, Yongxing, Fengguo, and Anguo, which were flowing through the Hebei Army, and were caught by this northern army The flaw in command and coordination was not smooth, and then fell into the strategy of attacking the east and the west.

In this battle, there were more than ten generals above the commander who were not in one breath or were seriously injured and could not see things, and according to the requirements of the commander, the mobile forces that rotated the second line on standby were almost swept away.

This Hebei army even took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the chickens and dogs that swept all the way broke into the territory of Yangwu County, and Yan zhòng threatened the rear baggage and personnel who were responsible for most of the men and horses in charge of the Wugao Pass raid.

Only the Henan Crusader Army, led by the Central Wing of the New Army, was able to retreat to the original Wucheng in a structured manner, and only then did it keep the largest grain platform hoarded in the rear and not be further damaged and burned.

However, in the area of Sujube and Yuanyang, there was no such luck in several grain institutes along the way, and almost immediately after the defeat, they fell into the hands of the enemy one after another, even if they were taken back afterwards, it is estimated that there would be nothing left.

After getting these resources supplemented, the Hebei army became more and more courageous, and the military horses that were transferred along the way to intercept were repelled and broken one after another, and they could only avoid the base to protect themselves, and the battle line between Heyin and Zhengzhou and then to Bianzhou was hit with a huge gap.

It can be said that the entire front was shaken, and the seven or eight army trumpets arranged in the first line to attack in turn had to divide their troops to defend the inner line, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy, and even the middle route army in charge of the southern attack was alarmed, and additional troops were sent to reinforce and block.

After a series of battles, although the opponent was annihilated nearly half of the horse, but the remaining Hebei Army, but under the response of the cavalry who rushed out of the Wugao Pass, successfully broke through the blockade of the siege camp and rushed into the Wugao Pass.

Then it can be said that the house leak happened to listen to the overnight rain, and there has always been no sense of zài, and the Yellow River sailor, who has been reduced to the role of the transport fleet for a long time, has also unexpectedly risen up in the professional field.

Their ships loaded with a large number of water battalion soldiers suddenly landed ashore, joined forces with the defenders who had been killed in the pass, and attacked the vicinity of Bishui Pass, responsible for supporting the Shenji army that suppressed the river and the city, because most of the covering troops were withdrawn to help, and the remaining six heavy battalions of men and horses, together with a large number of equipment, were almost completely lost in the sudden battle, and they were no longer able to fight.

The direct impact and consequence is that the army under the Southeast Road Division, which has easily obtained the offensive of the two breakthrough points of Wujiao Pass and Bishui Pass, has also been forced to fall into a certain stagnation and chaos.

Although there are still a large number of available troops on the front line, it is not so easy to readjust and recover the attack order that has been disrupted by the Hebei army that has broken into it.

It can be said that the greatest result that these Hebei troops have achieved in exchange for their own sacrifices is to buy the most precious time for the Dugi defense line of the Northern Dynasties before winter comes.

"In this way, we have become a large rear again, one of the few new forces......"

I quickly grasped the crux of his description and concluded with mixed feelings.

"And because of this chaos, at least Shuaiji will be in a short period of time,"

"I have no mind and leisure anymore, and I have come to us for right and wrong and trouble......"

"On the contrary, it is ...... to rely on it more"

Liu Yanqing, whose expression was a little subtle, added.

"Where to go from now on, our department should be attached to the left and right, and advance and retreat with you......"

To tell the truth, this situation a few days ago may have been some kind of strange good thing and opportunity for me and my subordinates; But for the three-way marshal leading, for the entire Northern Expedition, it is a bad situation, as the saying goes, under the nest, there is no end to the egg.

Liu Yanqing is here, which can be regarded as a preliminary statement of a certain position and attitude, and it depends on my next decision that I should go this way.

Soon I got good news and bad news.

According to the edict issued by Jiang Ningxing not long ago, preparations were made for the construction of a three-way camp to protect the army, and the seven divisions of the model new army were changed to the imperial camp army on the spot, and the athletes were selected to fill their own units.

Therefore, the guerrilla army, which originally belonged to the left wing of the new army, was the first to be reorganized into the left army of the imperial camp, although it continued to follow the old name, but it was officially issued in detail, giving a large number of regular military orders, which could be justifiably organized into seven to nine large battalions (1,200 people) of regular soldiers, plus a number of small battalions (800 people) of horse-and-archery chariot workers and other auxiliary subordinates.

But the not-so-good bad news is that the annexation of friendly forces has been done too much, and the same result has fallen to my troops.

The third battalion sent to Xuzhou in advance was intercepted and controlled on the spot by the commander on the grounds of strengthening defense, and then a large number of new recruits were stuffed on the spot, and it was reorganized into the escort guard of the southeast battalion.

And the commander of the guard of the upward battalion was Cui Bangbi, the commander of the third battalion who was recommended by the assault. It can also be said that for my troops, the adults of the Shuai Division have obviously premeditated.

So, almost the fastest speed and efficiency in the plan. He used the number that had been prepared for a long time to equip the troops, and made the third battalion, which was annexed in disguise, a fait accompli.

After getting this result, the army was stunned and indignant, and Yang Zaixing, who was relatively straightforward in nature, simply scolded his mother on the spot.

I didn't speak for a long time. It can be said that it is both a pain and a pity, it is the formation of a whole battalion, and one of the old troops who followed all the way and was familiar with the tactics and tactics was wiped out because of the selfishness of those people in the commandery.

But there are some sighs and secretly rejoicing.

To tell the truth, although the commander also had capable men from various armies in the past, he served as an escort and direct force. However, most of them are selected and used in the form of selection and selection, and they are rarely deprived of a certain unit in an organized manner.

Usually this situation is more of a disguised means of punishment and disposal for troops who are ineffective in combat. And it is more or less necessary to go through the basic process of the negotiation branch, instead of making it a fait accompli as it is now.

Although this practice of transferring subordinates from the active army and creating a new army is barely within the post of commander, it is not a normal practice, but a means and measures that are clearly aimed at our unit.

After all, since our department is called the New Army, it is the direct subordinate order of the base camp, and if they officially accept the name of the Imperial Army, they will have no name and reason to continue to split and dispose of my subordinates. Among them, the can't wait to show the heart, which can be seen from this.

Therefore, if I did not go to Hebei because of Liu Jiye, but returned to Xuzhou as scheduled, then I am not sure what kind of rights and wrongs and changes will happen.

However, to my surprise, Lu Wuguan, who was supposed to stay in Shuaisi's place and had a future, actually brought a part of the Fourth Regiment of the Third Battalion and a dozen counselors with him, and ran back to join me from Xuzhou all the way.

Well, although I don't know what happened to him with Shuaiji, it seems that he was forced to choose a side and had to side with me. These two pieces of news were brought by him in advance.
