Chapter Seventy-One: Seizing the Forbidden Army's Military Power (I)
In Zhao Guo's camp, Zhao Wuming turned his back to the tent door and looked at the map hanging on it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info thought about the upcoming war, and a hint of worry rose in his heart. No matter how you think about it, it always feels like you've forgotten some of the most important news.
Fingers lightly swiped across the map, looking at the marked roads and mountains. There was a thought that flashed through my mind, but I couldn't catch it. Their own military camp was stationed between two mountain ranges, and the Wei army could only reach Xindu if they were defeated, but ......
Just as Zhao Wuming's thoughts were flying everywhere, footsteps sounded, and a soldier lifted the tent and saluted Zhao Wuming: "The prince of Qiyu, the prince's department, and the forbidden army have now returned to the camp."
"Is Sun Fuji's department back?" Zhao Wuming turned to look at the soldier and asked, his eyes were a little red, obviously he hadn't slept all night.
The soldier looked up at Zhao Wuming in thought: "I didn't see General Sun's troops and horses."
Sun Fuji didn't return? Shen Tu Xiu Zhongfu is expected, the sky is bright, but why didn't Sun Fuji come back. Seeing that Zhao Wuming was pondering, the soldier didn't dare to stay too long, bowed and turned around and walked out of the tent.
As soon as the soldiers walked out, there was a sound of footsteps, and Xue Qian and Zhao Yu hurriedly walked over. Two soldiers followed, carrying the unconscious Shen Tuxiu.
Zhao Wuming subconsciously looked at it when he heard the sound, and was slightly surprised: "Big brother, Xue Duwei, what the hell is going on."
"Shen Tuxiu attacked Pang Juan's camp at night, and as expected by the fourth brother, he was ambushed. When our troops rushed to the rescue, he had been in a coma for a long time." Zhao Yu pointed to the arrow wound on Shen Tuxiu's shoulder and explained to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming watched carefully, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and Xue Qian: "Big brother, Xue Duwei, have you asked Lang Zhong in the army, what is the wound of Commander Shentu."
"Arrows are not poisonous, but they must be kept in bed for several months, during which time they should not be exerted to avoid worsening the wounds." Xue Qian relayed to Zhao Wuming the words of the army Langzhong, if it weren't for the delay in treating Shen Tuxiu's wounds, he and the crown prince would not have waited until now to come to the Chinese army's big tent.
Zhao Wuming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately asked the question he was most concerned about: "What about Sun Buer?" They're not back."
"Our troops were entangled by the Wei soldiers when they retreated, and thanks to General Sun's broken back, we were able to calmly retreat." Zhao Yu thought of the scene where Sun Buer was on the battlefield and took the initiative to ask for the break, and he felt some emotion in his heart. Such talents, why not in their own pockets.
After the break? Zhao Wuming looked at the two of them with some doubts: "What happened this night?" As far as I know, Wei Wushu is wearing armor and moves a little slower than ordinary foot soldiers, why are you being entangled by them?"
Shen Tuxiu led the forbidden army to attack Pang Juan's camp at night, but was ambushed and burned by the flames and demoralized. If it weren't for last night's rain, I'm afraid the whole army would have been wiped out." Zhao Yu thought of the news he heard from the mouth of the forbidden army, and he was moved.
Xue Qian hurriedly took Zhao Yu's words and continued: "The rain extinguished the flames in the camp, and Shen Tuxiu led the forbidden army to fight and retreat. After withdrawing from Pang Juan's camp, he was intercepted by the enemy general Wei Ang's troops, and then there were soldiers chasing after him. It happened that our troops led the army to support in time, so they survived, but Shen Tuxiu was already seriously injured and already in a coma."
"Our department and the forbidden army fought against Wei Ang's department and the military guards to pursue the soldiers, but there were more and more Wei soldiers, and we could only evacuate."
"Due to the suppression of the forbidden army by our department, the atmosphere of defeat spread among the army, and then the morale of the whole army gradually declined unconsciously."
"Coupled with the battle with Wei Ang's troops and the soldiers, the soldiers were also a little tired, so they were chased by the Wei soldiers under the command of Zhang Meng."
"If it weren't for General Sun leading reinforcements to arrive when the two armies were fighting, I am afraid that the army would have already turned into a rout, and we would have been defeated."
After listening to Zhao Yu and Xue Qian, Zhao Wuming was silent, and looked at the two of them again for a long time: "What is the casualty situation of our army."
"The forbidden army suffered 10,000 casualties, and the noble private soldiers suffered 7,000 casualties." Xue Qian reported to Zhao Wuming about the casualties he had just tapped.
Zhao Wuming looked at Shen Tuxiu, who was unconscious, and a trace of anger rose in his heart: "The strongest combat effectiveness of our army is the headquarters of the forbidden army, which was damaged by a third overnight, plus seven thousand private soldiers. In the face of the approaching Pang Juan army, how do you let me resist".
"The fourth prince is angry, the enemy is currently in a coma, and the fourth prince is asked to focus on the overall situation." Xue Qian heard the anger in his words, and hurriedly persuaded Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming was not relieved, and looked at the two of them: "Shen Tu Xiu misled the country and acted without authorization in violation of military orders, and the forbidden army can't be handed over to him." Thinking that he has worked hard for me Zhao Guo all these years, this time when he wakes up, he will be sent to Xindu to recuperate. As for the headquarters of the forbidden army, I would like to let the eldest brother take the lead, I don't know what you think."
"Forbidden Army?". Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly understood Zhao Wuming's plan, so it was. No wonder he let himself and Xue Qian lead the noble private soldiers to rescue Shen Tuxiu. Even if he is not in a coma this time, the fourth brother will use the crime of disrespecting military orders to deprive Shen Tuxiu of his right to prohibit the army.
Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu, and just as he wanted to speak, there was a sound of footsteps. Sun Buer and Fan Shun opened the tent door and walked in.
"You're back? How is the situation". Zhao Wuming saw the two of them and hurriedly asked. Now I desperately want to know how many troops I have in my hands that can be mobilized, so I can deal with Pang Juan with all my might.
Although the question was vague, Sun Buer immediately reacted: "Our department has more than 3,000 casualties."
"A total of 20,000 casualties?". Hearing this number, the anger in Zhao Wuming's heart increased a few points. Shen Tuxiu's actions made him too passive, and this time, no matter how much resistance there was in the forbidden army, he must be removed.
Fan Shun saw Zhao Wuming's angry look, and hurriedly changed the topic: "When the villain came in, I heard that Gongzi seemed to be talking about the forbidden army."
"Shen Tu Xiu was in a coma after an arrow, and at this time the war is imminent, and the forbidden army cannot do without a main general. Therefore, this son intends to wait for Shen Tuxiu to wake up and send him to Xindu to recuperate, and at the same time let the eldest brother lead the forbidden army, I don't know what you think." Zhao Wuming heard Fan Shun's inquiry, and asked Xue Qian and the others again.
Sun Buer hurriedly echoed: "Shen Tuxiu's private actions have brought huge losses to our army, and if he continues to lead the forbidden army, I am afraid that it will cause greater harm to our army."
"But the forbidden army is not easy to subdue, and there may be something wrong with the imminent war at this time." Xue Qian thought of the commanders of those forbidden armies, and his brows gradually furrowed.
Fan Shun immediately interjected: "At this time, the forbidden army is only 20,000, even if they make trouble, can they still make waves?" Shen Tuxiu can't stay in the army, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be trouble."
"Having said that, according to the words of the prince, it is justified to lead the forbidden army as the crown prince at this time." Xue Qian just wanted to refute, but he realized that the forbidden army at this time was only 20,000, compared with when they had just gathered, they had already lost more than half of them unconsciously.
Seeing Xue Qian's approval, Zhao Wuming's anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth: "Big brother, do you have the intention of commanding the forbidden army."
"There is no need". Thinking of the forbidden army, Zhao Yu's heart was hot. If you can lead the forbidden army at this time, establishing prestige will be beneficial and harmless for the future.
