Chapter 510: Guilt

The Yejiabao army was ambushed, and nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded in less than an hour, although they faced several times the number of enemies, but such casualties were obviously too large.

Lin Biao's heart is dripping blood, every Yejiabao army is a family-like existence, and every death is like losing a relative, which makes Lin Biao's heart ache.

This time, it was indeed that he was too reckless, and Jiangxi's attack was too smooth, which made him start to be careless from his heart. Five thousand soldiers and horses rushed to Changzhi, which was too impulsive.

This time, he couldn't escape the blame, no matter what the result was, Lin Biao would feel sorry for the dead Yejiabao army brothers.

The two sides are still in a state of wrangling on the plain, and neither can solve the other quickly. Cao Kun and Wu Peichi became more and more nervous as time passed.

The Yejiabao army was indeed tenacious, and less than 3,000 men and horses actually withstood the attack of nearly 20,000 troops.

After two hours passed, Cao Kun and Wu Peichi had the idea of retreating at the same time, if they didn't retreat quickly, once the Yejiabao army came to help, they wouldn't be able to run if they wanted to.

Staying in Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, and after the two of them looked at each other, they both saw what each other was thinking in their eyes. Without warning, the two men ordered to retreat almost simultaneously.

The enemy retreated quickly, almost with the sound of trumpets, and then began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Faced with the retreat of the enemy army, Lin Biao did not dare to chase after them before they saw the reinforcements arrive.

In fact, at this point, the Yejiabao army was already at the end of the strong bow, and even if Lin Biao wanted to chase and kill, he couldn't chase it. A man who beats with iron can't withstand such a toss.

After confirming that the enemy army had really retreated, Lin Biao ordered the whole army to rest on the spot. All the Yejiabao troops were so tired that they couldn't stand on their feet at the moment, and after turning over and dismounting, they directly lay down on the battlefield.

Lin Biao had a long knife on one of his arms, and the flesh turned outward, and the blood flowed non-stop. Two Qing soldiers, also covered in scars, were doing a simple bandaging for him.

Lin Biao seemed to have become numb and didn't feel the slightest pain in his arm. All his minds were drawn to the messy scene on the battlefield.

There were corpses all over the ground, most of them were enemy troops, and judging from the number of enemies killed alone, the Yejiabao army definitely won this battle.

However, the dead Yejiabao troops were very tragic, and they often died with the enemy at the last moment. It was also their courage that allowed the Yejiabao army to rely on this bit of soldiers and horses to resist wave after wave of enemy attacks.

"Count the soldiers and horses, and then find out the corpses of our brothers who died in battle." Lin Biao closed his eyes slightly, and whispered to the two soldiers beside him.

Who is the enemy attack, Lin Biao already knows it in his heart at this moment, and it is not difficult to see from the corpses of some enemy soldiers who died in battle that they are from Hebei. And Hebei is controlled by Feng Guozhang at the moment, if nothing else, this matter is probably very related to him.

The Yejiabao army has never been a bad seed, this revenge is not a gentleman, Lin Biao secretly swore in his heart that if Ye Shaolong allowed it, he would definitely personally lead the troops to pacify Hebei afterwards.

The number of casualties was quickly counted, and nearly 2,000 people were killed in this battle in Yejiabao, and the rest were wounded, and none of them were intact.

The enemy army died about 4,000 to 5,000 people, more than double the Yejiabao army, and it can be said that the Yejiabao army won a complete victory. But Lin Biao didn't have any victorious mood, the two thousand Yejiabao warriors were gone, and he didn't know how to explain to Ye Shaolong after he went back.

At this moment, Lin Biao was in no mood to take care of Changzhi's affairs at all, so he took the bodies of all the brothers who died in the battle and set foot on the way back to Taiyuan City.

On the way back, they met reinforcements, and the two armies returned together.

In Zhangjiakou City, Ye Shaolong and Li Chengke received an attack on Lin Biao. At present, the casualties are unknown, Ye Shaolong was anxious, and then rushed to Taiyuan City with the iron tower and 5,000 soldiers.

Since it was already late in the evening when he set off, Ye Shaolong led his troops to rush overnight, and did not arrive in Taiyuan City until the early morning of the next day.

When Lin Biao learned of Ye Shaolong's arrival, he personally led people outside the city to greet him, and when he saw Ye Shaolong, Lin Biao knelt directly in front of him and cried bitterly.

The soldiers of the 2000 Jiabao were killed because of his reckless actions, and since he came back yesterday, Lin Biao has been in a heavy mood. At this moment, seeing Ye Shaolong, it seemed that he had found an outlet for catharsis, and he could no longer suppress the remorse in his heart, and cried bitterly.

Ye Shaolong was outside the city listening to the deputy general of Taiyuan City report what Lin Biao had experienced, and when he learned that the two thousand Yejiabao troops had died in battle, and the one thousand Yejiabao troops could no longer go to the battlefield.

Ye Shaolong was so angry that his hands were verbose, and he suddenly stepped forward and kicked Lin Biao to the ground, and then scolded: "Bastard, this matter is not over, I will settle accounts with you in the future." ”

Without taking another look at Lin Biao, Ye Shaolong went directly into the city in a huff. After the initial chaos in Taiyuan City, all the local people have been transferred, and order has been restored in the city.

Because it has not experienced the baptism of war, Taiyuan City still maintains its original appearance. Ye Shaolong was directly arranged to live in the marshal's mansion in the city, which was originally Duan Rui's mansion, and now it has become the garrison of the Yejiabao army.

Ye Shaolong inquired about the situation in Taiyuan City and found that there was nothing wrong, and then asked about the situation in Changzhi. It was learned that Lin Biao was attacked halfway, so he turned back to Taiyuan City halfway, and did not go to Changzhi, and the current situation of Changzhi is unknown.

In desperation, Ye Shaolong had no choice but to give up the question of Changzhi first, and asked who was responsible for Lin Biao's sneak attack this time?

Lin Biao knelt down in front of Ye Shaolong again and reported loudly: "Dashuai, according to our investigation afterwards, it was Feng Guozhang's forces in Hebei who attacked us. ”

After a pause, Lin Biao suddenly pleaded with a hideous face: "I beg the marshal to give me Lin Biao a chance to lead my troops to crusade against Feng Guozhang." ”

Ye Shaolong frowned: "You want to take revenge on him?" ”

Lin Biao didn't have any cover-up, nodded and said firmly: "Yes, if you don't kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”

Looking at Lin Biao's resolute face, Ye Shaolong smiled helplessly. Obviously, if he doesn't agree, according to Lin Biao's character, it is very possible to act alone.

After thinking about it, Ye Shaolong nodded: "Yes, but not now, the current situation in Jiangxi has not completely calmed down." We should not open more battlefields, and if we fight in two places, we will definitely be exhausted. ”

After Lin Biao heard this, he just wanted to reassure Ye Shaolong, but Ye Shaolong interrupted him first: "You don't need to say more, I can only promise you that Feng Guozhang will hand it over to you to crusade, as for when, you have to listen to me, there is no room for negotiation in this matter." ”
