Chapter 175: Regret (9)
This night, Liu Heima always couldn't sleep, the violent cough affected his sleep, and the concern for the former army made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully, and in the second half of the night, Liu Heima simply got up, left the tent, and walked around the camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The guards followed him firmly, not daring to be the slightest sloppy.
The camp was quiet, you could hear the snoring one after another, the torches set up around it were burning fiercely, and the sergeants standing guard and patrolling were doing their best to do their duty.
It can be seen that Liu Heima is still very capable of governing the army.
During the day, the officials sent by the prefect of Deyang once invited him to the city to rest, Liu Heima's refusal, he would never leave the army during the war, this is the rule he set, never violated, after arriving in the city of Deyang tomorrow, Liu Heima's plan is not to stay too much.
During the day, many officers in the army discussed, Liu Heima did not take it to heart, he was clear about the jealousy between the officers, he didn't have such thoughts before, as he grew older, these thoughts gradually faded into invisibility, and the surroundings were quiet at night, thinking about it carefully, Liu Heima felt that what everyone said also made some sense.
You Qianhu is one of Liu Heima's most trusted officers, his temper and temperament are quite similar to Liu Heima's youth, he never admits defeat in battle, he is brave and moves forward, and has unusual self-confidence.
However, the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the lack of deep thought, the lack of far-reaching planning, and the unwillingness to work the details.
Because of this, Liu Heima specially equipped You Qianhu with a deputy Qianhu who was accustomed to thinking.
In the past, when facing the Jin soldiers, Liu Heima would not make such an arrangement, You Qianhu could not lead the army alone, no matter what, the Jin soldiers were still bloody, and they were willing to fight the battlefield, and the generals of the Jin soldiers especially liked to plan, so Liu Heima was not worried that You Qianhu and other fierce generals of this character would be in charge, although when the Jin Kingdom was about to perish, most of the Jin soldiers also lost their blood and combat effectiveness.
It's different in the face of Song Jun, who has a weak and feminine personality and doesn't like to take the initiative to provoke disputes.
I remember that when Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty jointly destroyed the Jin State, the two sides discussed how to divide the occupied territory and drew up an agreement, and then the Mongolian Great Khan Wokotai did not have the idea of dividing the territory with the Southern Song Dynasty at all, and after destroying the Jin State, he sent a large army to attack the Southern Song Dynasty army, forcing the Southern Song Dynasty army to withdraw to the south of the Huai River, and the north and the Central Plains were all occupied by the Mongols.
Liu Heima participated in many battles, for the Southern Song Dynasty army has a deep impression, no matter what kind of disputes and fights, the Southern Song Dynasty army always chooses passive defense, never has the performance of active attack, the Southern Song Dynasty army commander at that time, Meng Hui, can be described as a famous general, commanded the Southern Song Dynasty army to fight, annihilated a lot of Jin army, but in the face of the Mongolian army, the same everywhere into passivity, several battles have ended in failure.
It was also from that time that the Mongol army occupied an absolute psychological advantage against the Song army.
This advantage lasted until the Mongol Great Khan Meng Ge was accidentally killed during the attack on the Diaoyu City of Hezhou.
This incident is a huge blow to many Mongolian generals, and even many Mongolian steppe magnates do not believe in this matter, and wonder if there are other reasons behind it.
Liu Heima, who guarded Chengdu Fu Road, did not change his opinion, Liu Quan's rebellion made him more clearly understand the combat effectiveness of the Song army, and was not forced to a dead end, the Song army was a soft egg at all, but unfortunately when it was really cornered, the Song army, which wanted to resist, lost the opportunity.
Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty, known as the Southern People, and the Song Army, have a fatal flaw, that is, they like to fight in the nest, like infighting, like to fight for power and profit, and the more critical the moment, the more they like to calculate each other.
Liu Heima fully believes that the current Mongol Khan will be able to completely destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and dominate the world.
As the sky grew brighter, the camp became lively.
Liu Heima turned around, entered the tent, and began a new day's deployment.
At two o'clock, the army set out of camp and headed in the direction of Deyang Fucheng.
Wu Shaogang looked at the pale deputy Qianhu and spoke expressionlessly.
"I won't kill you, let you go back to Deyang Mansion City, and report the battle situation here to Liu Heima, you can tell Liu Heima, I am waiting for him in the eagle's beak, waiting for the troops to come to fight, you can also tell Liu Heima, I not only want to defeat him, but also recapture the entire Chengdu Fulu, which was originally the territory of my Great Song Dynasty...
Lu Xiufu on the side was a little anxious, including Cai Siwei and others, with a slightly anxious look on their faces.
Hao Jing wore a hat on his head, covered his face with a black veil, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but judging from the breath he revealed, it was very gentle, you must know that when Hao Jing learned that the Mongolian front army was completely annihilated and You Qianhu, who led the troops, was killed by Cai Siwei, he was very excited, and even shed a few tears.
Deputy Qianhu looked at Wu Shaogang, he no longer had the strength to speak, according to his body, return to Deyang Mansion City, don't think about being able to survive, desperately breathe, being able to return to Deyang Mansion City, even if it is very good.
followed Deputy Qianhu back to report the news, and there were two selected Mongolian sergeants.
After speaking, Wu Shaogang waved his hand.
Yuan Shichun took Deputy Qianhu and two Mongolian soldiers away from the Chinese military tent.
Turning around, Wu Shaogang spoke to Cai Siwei.
"Cai Du is in charge, I have specially instructed not to kill the prisoners who have surrendered, why is there still a matter of killing prisoners."
Cai Siwei looked at Wu Shaogang and quickly answered.
"My lord, it's not that his subordinates want to kill those prisoners, it's really that they don't obey orders, at that time, Commander Du and General Qin Zheng were by his subordinates' side, and they saw all this with their own eyes, and their subordinates had no choice but to give orders."
"Hmph, isn't it possible that there are 600 people who don't obey orders, I think you are simply looking for a reason, the army in front of Hezhou suffered heavy casualties in this battle, I can understand your feelings, but if we kill prisoners for this reason to vent our anger, then what kind of benevolent and righteous army are we, is it possible that in the future, we will burn and loot like the Mongolian army, and even slaughter the city."
Cai Siwei lowered his head, and Du Xiaoqi and Qin Han also lowered their heads.
The casualties in this battle were indeed heavy, and under the situation that the imperial army of Hezhou had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, nearly 2,000 people were killed, a figure that Cai Siwei couldn't believe.
Wu Shaogang didn't show surprise, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, not to mention facing the most elite front army under Liu Heima, after all, the front army of the Mongolian army was all annihilated, and none of them escaped.
The number of Mongolian sergeants who surrendered reached 1,100, of which nearly 600 were ordered to be killed by Cai Siwei, as for why these Mongolian troops who had surrendered were killed, Wu Shaogang was also clear, because the casualties of the Hezhou Imperial Army were too great, because these Mongolian prisoners were not easy to handle.
Wu Shaogang didn't intend to punish Cai Siwei and the others, he also held a breath of air in his chest, under his guidance, the Hezhou Imperial Army had been training for nearly a year, and he thought it was very strong, but when it was really pulled to the battlefield, under the situation of taking advantage of it, there were still such heavy casualties.
It seems that it is only devil training, and it is impossible to cast a real iron-blooded army, and only by fighting on the battlefield can the Hezhou Imperial Army become a real iron army.
"Cai Du is in charge, Du is in charge, Qin Zhengjun, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, I won't punish you for the time being, but if you commit it again in the future, I will not show mercy, and I will definitely enforce military law."
Wu Shaogang's words were very slow and his tone was a little soft, but Cai Siwei, Du Xiaoqi and Qin Han all trembled slightly, and they didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Binghui, who was on the side, spoke.
"My lord, my subordinates think that the Mongolian Tatars have always been brutal, and this time it is also the price they should pay."
Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly, it seems that there is such an understanding in the army.
"I can understand your feelings, but for example, if a dog bites you, do you also reverse the way and bite the dog, so don't you think you are a beast?"
Zhang Binghui was stunned for a moment, and wanted to laugh, but after carefully tasting this sentence, he didn't dare to laugh.
Hao Jing, who had been silent, spoke.
"What my lord said is that the Mongolian army has done many beasts before, and people and gods are angry, and my lord strictly requires the Hezhou Imperial Army to bring out a real king's army."
The battlefield has been cleaned, and the harvest this time is still huge, 10,000 taels of gold, as well as tens of thousands of taels of silver, nearly 1,000 stone of grain, and even more valuable is the captured more than 4,000 war horses.
It doesn't take much time to carry these things, but it takes a lot of time to collect the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and as for the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers who were killed, they were gathered together, and Cai Siwei ordered the soldiers to dig a pit and bury them.
It is impossible to take away the corpses of the fallen soldiers, according to Wu Shaogang's request, they are also buried on the spot, but they must be specially marked, and they will be solemnly buried after they have the opportunity in the future.
After all, there is still the Chinese army of the Mongolian army in Deyang Fucheng, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
After everyone dispersed, only Lu Xiufu and Hao Jing were left in the Chinese military tent.
Lu Xiufu, who couldn't help it, spoke.
"My lord, the lower officials think that the army can continue to set up an ambush at the eagle's beak, wait for the arrival of the Chinese army of the Mongol Tartars, and let them go back to report the news, isn't it asking for trouble?"
Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing.
"Mr. Hao, what do you think?"
"It's a pity, but the subordinates feel that the arrangement of the adults is wise, after the deputy Qianhu went to Deyang Mansion to report the news, Liu Heima will never continue to attack, he may send someone to come to the peace talks, the two sides have been safe since then, or quickly withdraw to Chengdu Mansion City, Liu Heima can't bear the consequences of the fall of Chengdu Mansion Road, he doesn't dare to take risks."
Wu Shaogang nodded slightly.
Hao Jing continued to speak.
"Chengdu Fu Road is also extremely important for Mongolia, there can be no mistakes, once there is a problem here, Kublai Khan will definitely send heavy troops to attack, and then Tongchuan Fu Road will be completely lost."
Lu Xiufu slapped his forehead sharply, and he completely understood. (To be continued.) )
