Chapter 195: Chen Zhi, whose fate hangs by a thread
"General Qin! Let's fight, although there are many Jingzhou troops, they are vulnerable. â
"That's right, General Qin, although the Jingzhou army does have an army of more than 300,000, but they are distributed on this and two hundred miles of defense line, it seems that their defenders are insufficient, I dare to guarantee that in this Jiaxia County, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 Jingzhou troops at most, well, by the way, looking at the city today, it seems that there is an extra flag, just as there is another slow army, it is only 100,000 horses, we have 100,000 horses here, one-on-one, are you afraid of their military horses?"
"Okay, General Qin, don't listen to what they say." A veteran who looked to be forty or fifty years old stopped everyone's persuasion and bowed his hand to Qin Jie: "General Qin, as the so-called, will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. So, now whether we can fight Jiaxia County or not, it's not General Qin that you have the final say? â
"Uh...... Old General Rong ......" Qin Jie was a little speechless and rolled his eyes: "We are only a few dozen miles away from Wancheng now, and the fast horse can run back and forth in an hour, what kind of general is this?" If we really want to attack, we can ask the lord for advice first, and it won't take much effort. â
Many of the generals here are Qin Jie's old subordinates who fought against the Yellow Turban Army, and they have followed him from Jiangxia to the present. Now, most of those old subordinates have now been promoted to generals above the battalion level. In this, there is a bit of suspicion of cronyism, but no matter which army, ordinary generals also like to use their own people, this is nothing.
Over here. I also want to talk about Qin Jie's good intentions, the soldiers who followed him from Jiangxia back then, there are not too many left. There were only about 2,000 of them. For these two thousand people, except for the kind of guy who can't protect the wall with mud, general, with some ability, Qin Jie will work hard to cultivate, and almost all of these two thousand people have been sent by Qin Jie to Luoyang Xishan Military Academy for training. Therefore, it is no longer the big-headed soldiers of the past.
This old general surnamed Rong, he is old. He was unwilling to retire, he stayed in the army because he wanted to do his part for the New Han Dynasty and apply what he had learned. I don't want to waste Qin Jie's training. They didn't want to waste the training given to them by the New Han Dynasty.
In addition, he has a little selfishness, that is, he doesn't want to be promoted by relationships, he wants to get promoted through military merit in a dignified manner.
His mind is actually the mind of most of the sergeants of this Wancheng garrison.
In the New Han Army, competition has always existed, although among the various armies, there is harmony. However, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. There will be competition. Who doesn't want to be the main force? Who doesn't want to be called elite by the world?
The defenders of Wancheng have been defending Wancheng for more than ten years, and they have rarely fought real hard battles, before, the generals were sincere and prepared to fight a big battle with the Jingzhou army and Cao Cao's army in Wancheng at the same time, but because of the arrival of Liu Yi, their wishes could not be realized. Although most of these Wancheng defenders participated in the two ambushes on the Cao army, among the two attacks on the Cao army, it was the 100,000 elite of the New Han Army brought by Liu Yi that really played a decisive role.
In this way, the soldiers have a competitive mentality in private.
In particular, occasionally there will indeed be some soldiers of the New Han Army who will be more stinky and will always stimulate the defenders of Wancheng verbally. For example, there will be some soldiers who will joke about their Wancheng defenders, joke that their combat strength is not good or something, in short, how powerful they are, and occasionally fight, and they really want to beat them.
Therefore, the defenders of Wancheng, they subconsciously thought that they could not weaken their prestige, and they could not let the new Han army brought by Liu Yi occupy the limelight.
In particular, there will be some people who say something more ugly, compared to joking that they are the defenders of Wancheng, they only know how to defend the city or something, jokingly saying that they don't need to fight, they can defeat the Jingzhou army or something. Also, in the previous battle, because it was necessary to mix into cavalry, archers and other arms, some Wancheng soldiers would be disrupted and the soldiers brought by Liu Yi were grouped together, when fighting, those soldiers of the Xinhan Army who came with Liu Yi who had experienced a hundred battles would always take their Wancheng soldiers as rookies, and when they fought, they would always take care of them a little, which made the soldiers of Wancheng feel very awkward, although those old birds of the Xinhan Army were well-intentioned, but they did not want to become a burden to others.
Therefore, this time, they felt that it was a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it was to let those soldiers of the New Han Army who fought with the lord Liu Yi see that they were not dry meals, and they could also win the battle. In general, the Wancheng soldiers, they just don't want others to look down on them.
This, as long as you are a soldier, you should also have the mentality, and you must not lose to others.
Hehe, in the New Han Army, Dian Wei's department, that is, the First Army, this elite army is indeed a bit of a stinky fart. This, or it can also be said that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Dian Wei's guy, usually a sassy guy, if you don't brag, you will feel uncomfortable. In addition, he is also very belligerent, and he will always find some excuse to fight with a group of generals, and if he doesn't fight for three days, his skin will itch.
In addition, the first army, known as Liu Yi's guard, the first army of the pro-army, is indeed the most elite soldiers of the whole army of the New Han Army, if they are not a little arrogant, they are not worthy of staying in the first army. Therefore, in normal times, they like to fight, brag and so on, so they will always cause some unconvinced sergeants to fight with them.
For these healthy competitions, Liu Yi is also open-eyed and closed-eyed, and will not ask too much, as long as he does not cause trouble, he will let them toss. After all, Liu Yi also believes that the healthy competition between the army and the army, and between the sergeant and the sergeant, will help the army maintain its bloody nature, if it is only a lifeless army, an army without a little vitality, no matter how strong it is, I am afraid that it will be defeated by stronger opponents.
However, I have to say that in the New Han Army, many soldiers are dissatisfied with the stinky farts of the soldiers of the First Army and always want to lose the prestige of the First Army, but most of them have sharpened their heads and want to enter the First Army. After all, the First Army of the New Han Army was Liu Yi's pro-army. Including the former New Yulin Army, which is now the Modao Battalion, these. They are all the pride of the New Han Army, who doesn't want to join these soldiers?
To be honest, since Qin Jie led his army to Jiaxia County, he has been observing the Jingzhou defenders in Jiaxia County, and he is always thinking about attacking. He didn't want to lose to those generals under Liu Yi's account, and he also wanted to prove it to others, although he Qin Jie had been guarding Wancheng for more than ten years. However, his sword is not old, and he can still kill the enemy.
But. He has a more overall view, and he knows that if Liu Yi asks him to lead the army to feint and contain it, it will definitely be meaningful, so. He would not casually disobey Lewi's orders. Even if you want to launch an attack on Jiaxian. He must ask Leo Yi for instructions.
Because, there is no need for Liu Yi to remind him, he also knows very well that don't look at it now, the trebuchets of the Xinhan army have overwhelmed the Jingzhou defenders in Jiaxia County, but if they really want to attack, then there will inevitably be a fierce battle. Even if the defenders of Jingzhou are useless, their morale is low. How can there be no will to fight, but he will not watch the New Han army wave his army to the city and be indifferent.
Once a siege is launched, then there will inevitably be sacrifices. There are sacrifices, if a few sacrifices are exchanged for victory, then there is not much of a problem, Qin Jie is worried, a frontal attack on Jiaxia County, in case the attack is not successful, it will be equivalent to a vain sacrifice.
In case the soldiers are red-eyed and have to storm Jiaxia County, then it means a greater sacrifice. Therefore, Qin Jie is very calm, if he doesn't attack, once he attacks, he must have one blow to work and succeed in one fell swoop.
"General Qin, the morale of our army is at its peak, and the soldiers' fighting spirit can be used, how long will it take to not attack the city?"
"Yes, General Qin, haven't you heard that the brothers of the New Han Army of other armies are all laughing at us for the rest of our lives in Wancheng, and the matter of recovering the Han Dynasty will be decided by them. Listen? Could it be that our brothers in Wancheng really can't do food and work? Let's fight. General Qin, as far as my old bear is the vanguard, I will send a battalion as a dead soldier, and I will be able to fight down! â
"When is it your turn to bear bold? General Qin, our old Zhang's division, without a battalion, will send 500 dead soldiers, and will definitely be able to board the county seat of Jiaxia and open the gate of the county seat of Jiaxia for our army. â
"! I have two hundred dead soldiers......"
âŚâŚ
"Enough! Originally, it was forbidden to drink alcohol, but you still want to make a noise by drinking madness? There are so many soldiers outside, let them know how to view us? I have my own measure, when to fight, I Qin Jie has the final say! Okay, I can't drink anymore, this time it's just this time, let's all disperse, tomorrow, I'll send someone to report the situation to the lord. Qin Jie stopped the generals' arguments.
"Still report to the lord? I'm afraid the lord is having a good time with the housewives now, so why don't we ......have a chance?"
"Shut up, what did you say?"
"Huh? No, no, gaffes...... Hehe......"
"Sue you, Xiong Daring, don't let me Qin Jie hear you say about the lord again, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. If you have the ability, go and be happy by yourself, don't be greedy for the lord's unromantic affairs! â
"Ahh Xiong boldly said with a serious but seemingly cunning look: "We, let's this, this is not greedy, it's just ...... Just envy ......"
"You!"
"Hey......
Xiong boldly scratched his head and smiled, but he seemed to be Qin Jie, who was not afraid of staring at all.
These generals have followed Qin Jie for more than ten years, and they have long been familiar with each other's temperament, Qin Jie is good at leading the army and training the army, and is extremely strict in peacetime, but in private, he is still very good to his subordinate generals, and he will never punish them for no reason.
Under Qin Jie's account, there are several generals who have always been his left arm and right arm, Rong veteran, named Rong Shi, a loyal and loyal veteran. Xiong Daring, named Xiong Ban, well, he is stout, almost with Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhu and other generals have the same figure, according to his own words, he has been particularly big since he was born, his mother, almost died of dystocia due to childbirth, fortunately his father saw that he could not be born for a long time, and in a hurry, he grabbed a piece of wood and slapped his mother's buttocks, which gave birth to him, so his father named him Xiongban, but her mother could not give birth anymore. When the Yellow Turban Army was in trouble, his wife was killed by thieves, so he joined the army. His father was originally a soldier of the Han Army in the Jiangxia Yamen, and he took over his father's class before entering the official army.
Xiong is bold, although he has a lot of strength, but his strength is naturally not comparable to those generals, but. But he is full of courage, and when he fights, he always likes to charge ahead. So he was deeply liked by Qin Jie.
In addition to Rong Shi and Xiong Ban, there are also Zhang Xiao, He Lin, Zhou Niu, etc., all of whom are generals under Qin Jie's account. These, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, are nameless, but. Because Qin Jie did not die and served Liu Yi, they also had a bright future together.
In fact, Qin Jie's heart was also very excited. Because, Liu Yi asked him to contain these Jingzhou troops in Jiaxia County, just to guard against the Jingzhou army to attack Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and to let Dian Wei and Xu Zhu lead the army to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two generals Shun lĂŹ to Liu Yi.
Recently. News has already arrived. The two generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, had already led their military horses back to Wancheng to join Liu Yi. That is to say, his mission has been completed, but the messenger who sent the breath has not brought Liu Yixin's order, and has not yet given orders for his next combat operation.
Now, Qin Jie is thinking about it, is Liu Yi's order not delivered yet? Or have you forgotten about it? Or is it a test of his ability to lead the army independently in Qinjie?
As a matter of fact. Liu Yi is now busy saving Chen Dao. I don't even think about my next move.
Liu Bei, the confidant Chen Dao, is also more happy, because Liu Yi feels that he has the same temperament as Zhao Yun, and they are both relatively low-key and loyal people who can get things done.
Now that Liu Bei is dead, then Chen Zhi has become an ownerless general, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all obedient to themselves, so will Chen Zhi have any other choice?
Well, there is another reason that makes Liu Yi feel that he has to save Chen.
Because Liu Yi feels that in the era of the Three Kingdoms, in terms of women, for the time being, it is relatively perfect, because almost all the famous women of the Three Kingdoms that Liu Yi can call have now been accepted by himself.
This, has a bit to do with the fact that Leo himself is also a perfectionist.
Well, among the current New Han Army, it can also be said that almost all the famous or powerful troops in the Three Kingdoms period have been gathered.
Gao Shun's trap camp, Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, Bingzhou iron cavalry, Hun cavalry, as well as the halberd warriors of Koji Yi and the first dead soldiers. Even, Danyang soldiers are also available, so Liu Bei's white-eared soldiers, Liu Yi doesn't want to miss them. At least, Liu Yi wanted Chen Zhi to train a white-eared soldier as his own personal soldier would be a little better than the Modao Battalion, this is not a problem of combat effectiveness, but the Modao Battalion is now equivalent to hoplites, and it is not convenient to follow him at all times. Therefore, like the white-eared soldiers trained by Chen Zhi, this elite class of troops that can attack from afar and fight in close combat, seems to be more suitable to be his own personal guards.
However, Chen Zhi's injuries were too serious, with dozens of sword scars on his body, as well as several spear scars and some bow and arrow wounds.
It can be said that when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted them back from Xiangyang City, Chen Zhi really only had one breath left. If it weren't for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei taking turns to maintain his life with true qi and handing it over to Dian Wei and Xu Zhu to Wancheng, the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Zhu would not have stopped using their true qi to maintain his life, Chen Zhi would have died a long time ago.
Saving Chen Dao was the biggest medical challenge that Liu Yi had since he arrived in the Three Kingdoms era, and it was more difficult than saving the wounded soldier Zheng Shi, as well as saving the emperor Liu Hong, and begging Sun Jian and Mrs. Wu for illness.
There are bruises all over his body, not an inch of skin is intact, and even his face is a little disfigured.
The reason why Chen Zhi could still maintain a breath was that Xiahou Xuan's spear did not directly pierce his heart, it was a little off, but it almost damaged the function of his internal organs.
Now, Liu Yi didn't dare to use acupuncture to anesthetize him, because he was afraid that once he was anesthetized, he would lose his breath.
On the one hand, Liu Yi kept transporting Yuanyang True Qi, allowing the True Qi to slowly repair and sort out the meridians that had been placed in his body, and on the other hand, he first treated the bleeding wounds on his body, and even the wounds where the skin and flesh had been cut down, mainly to disinfect and suture the wounds.
Another point, Chen Zhi had a knife on his abdomen, which almost cut off his intestines, and when he opened a little of the flesh that had been chopped up, he could see the intestines in his stomach.
Such a person who does not die, even Liu Yi thinks it is a miracle. In order to help him heal the wound on his belly, it took almost half a day for Liu Yi.
There is no way, this is ancient, not postmodern, when there is a lack of instruments and medicines.
Seriously, Chen is like this, Liu Yi estimates that even if he invites Hua Tuo's divine doctor, I am afraid he may not be able to save his life.
Liu Yi didn't have the slightest certainty, he was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, just fighting hard to see if he could be saved.
These are all surgeries that Liu Yi can barely do, but the deep spear wound on his chest made Liu Yi really scratch his head.
This spear was given to Chen by Xiahoudun.
The wound that almost hurt his heart, Liu Yi really didn't dare to touch it, and he didn't even dare to disinfect him with alcohol, and in the end, Liu Yi just reluctantly handled the carrion on the surface for him, so he sewed up the wound for Chen Zhi.
Whether Chen Zhi can be rescued or not, it really depends on whether Chen Zhi's life is hard enough, from his injury to being sent to Liu Yi for treatment, two days have passed, if his wound is infected, then he will definitely die, and Liu Yi has nothing to do.
Therefore, Liu Yi, who was busy treating Chen Dao, really didn't care about the war.
Anyway, Liu Yi thought that he had ordered Dian Wei and Xu Zhu to lead the army to intercept Cao Cao's military horses, and let Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and other generals lead the army to regain the control of the Xiangjiang River. (To be continued......)
