Chapter 15: Thoughts on the Flames (8)

[Sorry, a little late]

Although many of the Jiaozhi soldiers did not forget to take their comrades who were screaming and screaming around them when they retreated, many more of the dead and wounded were forgotten by the camp of Quy Nhon Phu.

When the Jiaozhi soldiers retreated a little farther, the gate of the camp was opened, and more than 200 soldiers were ordered to come out of the village, come to the wounded soldiers who had been abandoned, and give them the last blow with their swords and guns.

In addition, some Jiaozhi soldiers did not have time to escape, so they leaned over and hid in the trenches, when the Song army came out of the village to clean up the battlefield, they had nowhere to hide, so they had to come out and surrender voluntarily.

More than 100 Jiaozhi soldiers knelt down and begged bitterly, and the soldiers outside the camp did not know for a moment whether to start or not.

"All of them were beheaded. This time, how can there be extra food to feed the thieves?! Li Xinzhi understood Han Gang's temperament, and did not wait for his order, and directly asked the soldiers below to let go and surrender.

When Li Xin's order came, the swords and guns were raised again without hesitation, and the defenders in the village also aimed their bows and crossbows at these surrendered troops.

"Wait a minute." Han Gang sent his own soldiers over, "The envoy said that if you are willing to cut off the two big toes on your feet, you will let them go back." ”

If you don't have your big toe and can walk, but you can't carry weights or run, you can't play at all. When they return to the opposite side, they will be of no use to the Cochin army, but will waste food and medicine, and will also reduce morale. Unlike killing prisoners, it can make people feel the same hatred and hatred.

"Li Changjie will be angry when he sees it." Su Ziyuan said to Han Gang.

"It is to humiliate Li Changjie."

The more he behaves without scruples here, the more hesitant the Jiaozhi people will be. It's also good to waste the food of the Jiaozhi people, it depends on what Li Changjie will do.

"But the camp fence was quite damaged. Gotta fix it quickly. ”

Within the sight of Han Gang and Su Ziyuan, there were several fences that had been cut out of the gaps. Although it is not large, it also exposes the biggest shortcomings of this camp.

When attacking in front, it was indeed the right choice to target this circle of fragile fences as the first target. In order to inflict maximum casualties on the Jiaozhi army, the Song army waited until they began to destroy the walled wall before they began to shoot. There wasn't enough wood, so it was still a hassle to repair it. If you come a few more times, the fence of this stockade will not be able to be saved.

"But the thief army shouldn't come again today," Su Ziyuan looked up at the sky, it was overcast, and the wind became cold, "It's going to rain soon." ”

……………………

Li Changjie knew that this was a hard bone, and he was mentally prepared for not being able to attack it for the time being, but he still didn't expect that this attack would suffer such a big setback, and before he could cause much damage to the Song people, he was beaten back in the head.

As soon as their own team retreated, the Song people directly opened the gate of the village. This action is obviously laughing at yourself.

The cavalry still lingered on the battlefield. If they rushed quickly, they could rush into the Song army camp before the Song army, which had cleaned up the battlefield, returned to the camp. Thinking like this, Li Changjie shook his head, it was useless at all, he knew very well what the level of the Jiaozhi cavalry was.

Looking up at the sky, it looked like it was going to rain soon. Coupled with the defeat of Fang Cai, today's offensive can only end here.

"Captain." A general under Li Changjie stood up and put forward a suggestion, "It's dark today, and it's just right to attack at night." ”

Sneaking up on an enemy camp at night when you can't see the stars and moon sounds good. If the Song people were not guarded, there was indeed a chance of success.

But could the Song people be unguarded?

Li Changjie quickly rejected the adventure in the night. If someone comes from behind to attack the Song army's camp, it will collapse directly. And maybe it will rain, attack on a rainy day, the power of the bow and crossbow on the opposite side will indeed be greatly reduced, but with the morale of the army at the moment, it is a problem to walk at night in the rain, why not attack the camp in the dark. It is better to continue to send a small number of troops to harass and make the defenders in the village unable to rest.

But Li Changjie's mood now is always like a stone blocked, heavy in his heart. How many people there are in the Song army, he has not figured out this question, and he has always been unable to let go.

If it can be determined that the Song people have more reinforcements, Li Changjie will definitely not choose to attack again, as long as he waits for Zong Ji and them to cross the Zuojiang River, he can withdraw to the south. But if there were only 800 people, the humiliation of being bluffed by the Song people, Li Changjie couldn't swallow it.

When he was besieging the Song camp, he had already sent a team of cavalry to bypass Quy Nhon Pu and go to Kunlun Pass to investigate. If the Song army had someone in Kunlun Pass, they would at least come out and expel them. If you don't do this, it proves that the enemy army in front of you is all the troops that have come to help.

"Captain!" A subordinate general hurriedly entered the account to report, "The Song people have released all the captives. ”

"Why are you so generous?" Li Changjie asked suspiciously.

"Not generous......

"What's that?"

"Their toes have all been chopped off by the Song people!"

Li Changjie suddenly stood up, his eyes wide: "What!?" The Song people dare to be so hot! ”

More than 100 Jiaozhi soldiers, with shaky bodies, came all the way back from the camp of Quy Nhon Pu, and after walking a few steps, they would fall and fall, and at the end of the road, they supported each other and walked all the way.

He went north to invade the border, and slaughtered in the cities of Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Yongzhou. Such enemies, the Song people not only spared their lives, but also did not forget to bandage and stop the bleeding after cutting off their toes. But this seemingly tolerant behavior is full of cruelty and cruelty, and it is already a lifetime of waste, except for a life, there is nothing left. This is even more vicious than directly beheading. Not only was the military rations wasted, but the soldiers under the tent saw their current appearance, where did they still have any fighting spirit.

Li Changjie was stunned, his face was pale, and the Song people were too vicious. And the group of released captives who knelt in front of him, crying bitterly, also made Li Changjie feel angry, if they fought to the death, why did they do this?

"Captain, what should they do?" Li Changjie was asked.

He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then opened them again, "Send them to the rear and let Captain Zong take care of them." ”

Li Changjie made a decision to be lenient and benevolent, but this does not mean that he is really relaxed. The clenched fists betrayed the anger in his heart. He was now waiting for news, and if it could be confirmed, whoever gave the order would have him torn it to pieces.

……………………

In the evening, the rain began to fall.

It's not big, but the rainy season in Guangxi has arrived.

According to Su Ziyuan, there will be more epidemics soon, and Han Gang is very worried about the medical and health problems in the army, but this is not an urgent task at the moment.

"I want to further persecute Li Changjie." Someone saw a group of Jiaozhi cavalry going in the direction of Kunlun Pass, and the news was conveyed to Han Gang's ears level by level, "Let him attack the stockade instead of thinking about anything else." ”

Guarding the road from Kunlun Pass to Quy Nhon Paved, Han Gang handed over this matter to Huang Jinman to deal with. And just to the left of Changshan Station, Han Gang also asked Huang Jinman to send 500 soldiers to block the pass of the pass, and it was not so easy for the cavalry to think about it. On the contrary, the infantry could go around the entire line directly from the trail. It's just that the situation is different in the wind and rain, and in the time when the bow and crossbow can't play a role, it doesn't take too much effort to break through a little obstacle, and for the cavalry.

"Do you want to take the initiative? In the battle of Kunyang, Han Guangwu broke the fake new with three thousand. Four hundred and twenty thousand. Under the city of Hefei, Zhang Liao broke through the 100,000 Wu army with 800 troops. "The successive victories in the past few days have made Su Ziyuan have a high evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops." Now our army also has 800 elites, which can fight in one battle. ”

"Those are two different things!" Han Gang and Li Xin shook their heads at the same time.

Under the city of Kunyang, Guangwu led the elite to attack the army of the new dynasty led by Wang Yi. This battle is said to be 3,000 against 420,000, but when attacking the camp, Guangwu only needs to face the more than 10,000 people of the pseudo-new Chinese army, and the remaining 400,000 are too late to rush to the rescue, and they don't even know whether they should leave the camp. In addition, because Wang Yi was surrounded by an army of 400,000 people, he thought that he could sit back and relax, and he was caught off guard when attacked, which doomed them to failure. When Wang Yi's main formation was broken by Liu Xiu, the 400,000 army collapsed directly.

And Xiaoyaojin, it was mainly Sun Quan who did stupid things. If it is said that he is the first blow, Han Gang did not intend to give Li Changjie a blow before, but he failed to keep the opportunity. What's more, it's not time to take a risk, even if Li Changjie waves his army to attack, he can hold the stockade steadily.

"Li Changjie on the other side has suffered several losses, and he is worried that we still have reinforcements, so it is too late to be careful, he will not be stupid, he will not give us such a good opportunity."

Han Gang didn't plan to stay here for too long, he had already sent his right-hand men to infiltrate Yongzhou City and contact the people in the city and the remaining defenders. In two more days, most of them could be mobilized to escape from the city and hide in the mountains. Next, he can find an opportunity to withdraw to Kunlun Pass.

However, in Han Gang's heart, there was always a faint worry, knowing that there were only eight hundred reinforcements he led was too many, Li Changjie heard it once or twice, and his performance could make him half-convinced, but there were too many times, how could he doubt it again. When the time comes, he will have to face the all-out attack of the Jiaozhi army.

Even though it rained, the harassment of the two sides at night did not stop. But both sides are wary of this, and the so-called harassment is nothing more than an ordinary disturbing dream. By the next day, it was still raining, and the attack of the Cochin army was just an errand, and it did not even show half of the courage of yesterday.

But in the evening, a scout rushed into the camp from the rain and mist, his face full of panic, "Enlighten the envoy, the Jiaozhi army has come to reinforce again, with at least 10,000 troops, and it will soon be able to reach the opposite camp." ”

Li Xin, Su Ziyuan, and Huang Jinman, their faces all became extremely ugly, Li Changjie must have confirmed his own reality from somewhere, so he dared to transfer more troops from the rear, without worrying about Liu Ji and others rebelling.

Han Gang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "You say, who do you hate more now than the Jiaozhi soldiers?" ”
