Shen Qing set off with 5,000 men and horses in his headquarters and entered the Taihang Mountains overnight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A few stars hung in the dark night sky, and in the dim light were rugged and steep mountain trails. And in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, he did not allow his subordinates to light fires and palm lamps, and the whole army of 5,000 people was marching forward completely in the dark. Probably except for the Jingshan Army, which basically eliminated night blindness, no army in the world dared to march under such circumstances.
Shen Qing walked at the forefront of the team, using the sharp eyes created by countless night trainings to identify the direction of progress and lead the way for the team in front of the head. Behind him were the officers and men of the Third Division, holding hands, and the 5,000 soldiers marched cautiously and slightly staggering through the mountain roads, plank roads, and bridges of the Grand Canyon. Along the way, there were inevitably many soldiers who stumbled and bounced their waists, so they could only sit on the side of the road to rest, waiting for the medical team to come up later to take them in.
But those who accidentally fell into the abyss will never be able to find their bodies, so they can only let this reckless Taihang bury the loyal bones of the martyrs.
Some people say that the character of an army is determined by the character of its first commander-in-chief, but there is some truth in this statement. Under Shen Qing's example, the officers and men of the Third Division endured hardships and stood hard work, were loyal and silent, and had more endurance for pain than any other unit, and more than any unit for executing orders from above.
According to the "Military History of the Jingshan Army", in the first battle of Yangjiban, the Third Division dispatched a total of 5,014 officers and soldiers, and after the battle, 437 people were reported killed, but only the remains of 211 soldiers were found in the Yangjiban fortress. That is to say, the officers and men of the 3rd Division who died in the night and fell off the cliff were even more than those who died in battle......
The two hundred and twenty-six Great Qin soldiers who were sleeping between the green mountains are also worthy of the supreme feats of 'capturing the sheep intestines'!
Around midnight, after two hours of arduous trekking, Shen Qing finally arrived at the Great River Estuary Castle with his third division, and wiped out the three hundred defenders in the fort with lightning speed. Lest someone escape by taking advantage of the night, after a short rest, Shen Qing urged the team to move forward quickly, and be sure to rush to the Yangjiban Fortress more than ten miles away within half an hour.
The rapid march in the mountains required great sacrifices, and most of the more than 200 soldiers who fell off the cliff and died were folded on this section of the road.
Even Shen Qing stumbled under his feet, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen. He rejected the adjutant's suggestion to stop seeking medical attention, tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, stopped the long nosebleed, and continued to run.
The commander's spirit of playing with his life greatly boosted the morale of the troops, and the speed of the march was sped up by one percent...... When they arrived at Yojizaka, the city had just heard a loud shout of killing.
In the dark night, with only a little starlight, the officers and men of the Third Division completed the 60-mile rugged and difficult mountain road in less than three hours, which has to be said to be a miracle in military history.
When Shen Qing led his subordinates to the castle, he happened to see the drawbridge fall with a bang. He commanded his subordinates and took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them.
The army poured into the city like a tide, giving great psychological pressure to the Qi army that had just assembled in the city. Although the Qi army was still superior in numbers, its morale had already dropped to its lowest point in a panic. The barely formed formation was loose and collapsed, and as soon as it collided with the morale of the Qin army, it immediately collapsed!
Seeing that the Qi army was vulnerable, the Qin army mustered up its remaining strength, took out what little physical strength it had left, launched a fierce attack, cut melons and vegetables, and beat the Qi army back again and again, and retreated to the rear city gate after a while. I don't know who took the lead, and some Qi troops began to flee to the ping...... Not being able to kill deserters in time is the disadvantage of not having a Warlord.
Cowardice and rout fled like a plague, spreading in the Qi army's array, and soon developed into an organized escape. Even if there is an iron core to resist, it will not stand by the impact of the rout. Seeing that the tide was turning, more people dropped their weapons and fled from the castle.
The soldiers of Jingshan, who were already exhausted, were lifted by their spirits when they saw this, and expelled all the Qi troops in the city like a storm and clouds, and closed the back gate.
As the two gates slowly closed, the supposedly 'unconquerable' fortress fell.
However, there are still remnants of enemies in the city who have no time to flee and need to be cleared, especially the red-eyed Qi army on the city gate tower, regardless of the attack of the Qin reinforcements on the rear wing, they must kill all the Qin rats who have been hiding in the city gate tower.
The surviving soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen have all been evacuated to the second floor. In other words...... All those who remained on the first floor were killed in battle.
The two-story city tower is mainly used to place the two major machines of the wheel and the winch, and there are few places that can be inserted, and it is already a crowd of more than 50 officers and soldiers to stuff in...... But no matter how large the space is, there will be no more survivors, and the wounded and disabled 53 Operators are all when they retreated into the city gate, and the rest of the soldiers have all been killed when they are outside the gate......
At some point, the sun rose and dispelled the mist in the mountains, returning light and warmth to the creatures of the valley.
At this time, it is early winter, and this fortress is surrounded by mountains, and you can see the golden sun, at least it is the end of the day.
The shouts of killing in the city finally subsided, and the Jingshan army took a lot of effort and paid more than 100 lives to wipe out the thousands of enemy troops on the city wall. With the fall of the last stubborn Qi army, only the Qin army was finally left in the castle.
The soldiers of the Jingshan army, who were tired and wanted to die, did not dare to relax in the slightest, they seized the time to familiarize themselves with the city defense, moved out of the arsenal and placed the city defense equipment around the castle, and before the reinforcements arrived, they had to withstand the counterattack of the Pingshang and the eighteen panqi army.
It wasn't until dawn that the officers and men of the Third Division saw that the commander-in-chief had a bruised face, a swollen left eye, and two dark red rags on his nose, which was very different from his previous clean and neat image.
Seeing everyone's strange gazes, Shen Qing remembered that his face had been rubbed on the ground, and quickly pulled off the two cloths that blocked his nose, and wanted to wipe his face with the back of his hand, but as soon as he touched the wound on his face, he hissed and gasped in pain.
The medics hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to treat the wounds for the commander, but Shen Qing stretched out his hand to block them, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you finished treating the wounded of the Einsatzgruppen?" ”
The medic shook his head and said, "Not yet, almost all of them are injured, and the medical team is all dispatched, but they are still too busy." ”
"So what are you doing here?" Shen Qing wanted to keep a straight face, but his face hurt when he moved, so he had to give up.
"Your face, my lord?" The medic said aggrievedly.
"Hurry up," waving his hand impatiently, Shen Qing said angrily: "I have already made a marriage, and I don't worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
After driving away a group of well-meaning medics, Shen Qing took a face full of scars and patrolled the city wall. But he ran into a Ranger warrant officer who was covering his face and looking for a medical officer all over the world.
The warrant officer didn't care about the collision with the colonel, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen has worked hard, do you know where there are idle medical officers?" ”
This is no big or small move, but it angered Commander Shen, who regarded military regulations above all else, and said unhappily: "What is your name, which part?" "It is said that after the victory of Makinohara, the military ranks of all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle were generally adjusted by one level, and many meritorious ones were also raised by two levels. Just by looking at the military rank, I can't recognize who is who.
"Don't be angry, my lord, I'm Qin Qishui." Only then did the warrant officer put down his left hand shyly, revealing half of his face, and it was really the famous Qin Qishui.
Seeing that it was this living treasure, Shen Qing suddenly lost his anger, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, what are you doing covering your face?" "This person is an outlier in the Jingshan Army, and violating military rules is commonplace, and he has almost tasted the punishment of the Jingshan Army. In order to rectify him, Xu Tian even figured out a lot of torture that was not in military regulations...... For example, he stripped off his clothes and hung upside down for a day and a night. But this guy is more tenacious than a cockroach, no matter how much punishment he ends, within a few days he will be alive again, and he will continue to go his own way and continue to break the law......
But this guy's military qualities are too strong, and he is second to none among the elite rangers, which makes people really love and hate. If it had been according to the opinion of the military judge Qin Shou, this black sheep would have been driven out of the barracks a long time ago. But Qin Lei didn't see it that way, he used the commander's token to issue a special military rule for Qin Qishui: except for the military rule that if he touches it, he will be killed, he will not abide by it.
Of course, the rest of the people don't have to be blushing, because there is a sentence at the beginning of this military rule - anyone who can enjoy all the non-beheading punishments of the Jingshan Army can have such treatment. As long as you can have Qin Qishui's good body that is not cooked, smashed, hammered, flattened, and crushed, you can also enjoy this kind of treatment.
Oh, there has to be a prominent identity of the prince's son, at least people must not dare to kill him, otherwise the military stick is ruthless, and he really thinks it is used to relax his muscles and invigorate his blood?
disrespectfully the official staff of forty and the official staff of eighty, so Qin Qishui can giggle with all the generals except Qin Lei. Hearing Shen Qing ask himself, Qin Qishui said with a bitter face: "Alas, I am disfigured." As he spoke, he opened his other hand slightly, allowing Shen Qing to take a look at the fine wound on his face, and then covered it again.
"It's only halfway there." Shen Qing pointed to his face and said with a wry smile: "I'm not in a hurry to be completely ruined, why are you in a hurry?" ”
"My lord," Qin Qishui rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't look good in the first place, but now it's just even worse, no one will feel sorry," said with a sad face: "But if my perfect face is ruined, the girls in the middle capital city will be heartbroken." ”
For this kind of guy who feels good about himself, Shen Qing was also helpless, so he had to divert the topic and said, "What about Shen Bing?" Why haven't you seen him all this time? ”
"Alas," Qin Qishui couldn't laugh at this moment, and lowered his head and said, "Lord Shen was wounded thirteen times, and two of them were penetrating, and even his intestines came out. ”
"Ah......" Shen Qing's heart sank, and he said continuously: "Where is it?" Take me to see it. ”
"Don't go, sir." Qin Qishui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just came over there, and the medical officers are operating on him, and he can't finish it in an hour." ”
"Alas!" Shen Qing slapped the battlements heavily, looked into the distance with blank eyes, and muttered, "What if...... How can I explain to my aunt? He and Shen Bing are cousins, and the relationship between the two families has always been very good.
Qin Qishui said softly: "Shendu Siji people have their own heavenly appearance, and they will be fine." ”
"I hope so......" At this time, it was not suitable for emotion after all, Shen Qing quickly collected his feelings, pointed behind him and said, "There may be a medical officer over there, you go and try your luck." As he spoke, he continued to move forward, kindly reminding: "But don't get your hopes up too much, there are too many injuries." ”
Who knew that Qin Qishui scratched his head, and said in a strange voice: "Forget it, it's more manly!" And he staggered down the tower, and did not know what to do.
Shen Qing smiled and didn't speak, it was precisely because this guy was not bad in nature that the prince would allow him to run rampant in the army.
The people of Qi are not exaggerating, in the case of a heavy garrison, the fortress of Yangjiban is indeed impossible to break.
The Qi army, which rushed back after hearing the news, wanted to recapture the castle, but there were no siege equipment, and it was difficult to climb up even the smooth sheep's intestines, so how could they talk about attacking the city? After a few vain attempts and a few hundred lives in vain, the main force of the Qi army withdrew, and it should be to build some simple equipment such as ladders and start over.
However, the Qi army that fled from the city to Yangguping and re-killed from the ping was quite tricky. Again, compared to the other three sides, the side of the castle facing the sheep intestine flat is simply undefended. Fortunately, the city is equipped with all the equipment to defend the city, such as rolling stones, wooden oil pots, etc., which is of great help to the officers and soldiers guarding the back wall.
Although there was some hurry, until the reinforcements came in, the Qi army left more than a thousand corpses, and failed to break through the back wall.
At noon, Luo Yun led the Eagle Yang Army to appear in Yangjiban, and all the suspense was over.
The fortress of Yojizaka, which everyone thought was insurmountable, was returned to the Kyoyama army overnight. The shock to the generals of the Qin army was extraordinary...... Although Qin Lei had won a great victory in Makinohara, after all, relying on God's help, it was quite a bit of a victory. Therefore, although the generals admitted that the prince was a general, they still did not put him on the same level as Zhao Wuyi.
Looking at the roaring flag of the black tiger fluttering at the head of the city, the generals of the forbidden army who arrived later were completely convinced, and sighed and said: "The heroes of the world, only His Royal Highness and Baisheng Gongye!" ”
It is not just this battle that can subdue these unruly generals. This is just a process of quantitative change causing qualitative change......
The soldiers will not forget who stood up at the critical moment of the rout of the whole army and blocked the way of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qi State.
The soldiers will not forget who said it with a sonorous and powerful voice: "Since entering is death and retreating is death, why not split the road of life and death with both hands and cut off the roadblock with one sword!" ”
The officers and men will never forget who was brave and fearless in the face of danger in the big battle, and did not let the military flag take a step back in the flanking attack of the enemy ten times, so that the officers and soldiers in the bitter battle never broke up, and only then did they survive that magical moment......
The soldiers will not forget that after a month or two of miraculous journeys, the 200,000 army actually swept through most of the Qi country as if they were in a no-man's land, and finally besieged its capital, forcing the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State to sign an alliance under the city, armistice reparations, and gifts to the invaders out of the country, what a scenery this is!
But even at this point, the soldiers are still not sure about the ability of the prince, after all, there are still 50,000 elite Qi troops on the sheep intestines, which is simply a dead end.
If you can't return to China safely, everything you did before becoming a prince is just a flash in the pan and has no meaning.
But seeing that the prince was like the finishing touch in his fingers, the sheep intestines changed the owner!
has also turned the days and nights of the past 100 days into a legend of one person!
"I'll wait to see the prince!" When the tall figure appeared in the sheep intestine saka, 260,000 soldiers and civilians brushed their five bodies and threw themselves to the ground, bowing their heads and bowing to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Between heaven and earth, only Qin Lei stood proudly.
