Chapter 14 Fit Guanshan Wangyun Foil (3)
'Take Kunlun Pass?! Li Xin shook his head. Although he hadn't walked through Kunlun Pass, he didn't know how steep it was. But Kunlun Pass is so famous, and it will never be a pass that 800 people can break through in one attack. This is not the end of the sentence of a word, if it weren't for the stupidity of the Guangyuan barbarians themselves, they would have been able to win, but the casualties would definitely not be so small, "We only have eight hundred tired soldiers." β
Han Gang wanted to attack Kunlun Pass to save Yongzhou, and Su Ziyuan was so surprised that he was grateful. But when he calmed down, he knew that it was impossible for Lu Dao to use the troops in his hands: "Is it to copy the trail to the back of Kunlun Pass?" He only thought of this one possibility.
The mountainous area between Yongzhou and Penn is just a rolling low mountain, and there are many trails that can bypass Kunlun Pass. However, the mountains are rich in vegetation and there are many snakes and insects, and there is often a so-called miasma after the rain, and its roads have always been difficult to travel. However, it is a rainy winter day now, which is much better than other seasons.
"Di Wuxiang's attack on Kunlun Pass is to bypass the pass with strange soldiers from the small road, and attack back and forth. This time Li Changjie came to attack, and I heard that it was also a small road to send strange soldiers. Han Gang said, "It's still easy to bypass Kunlun Pass."
"But will the thieves be unprepared? As long as you send people to monitor the road, it is impossible to sneak attack. And whether it is Di Qing or Li Changjie, they are all Qi Zheng, and they do not say that they only use strange soldiers. Su Ziyuan didn't want to refute Han Gang, he hoped that Han Gang could refute his question, "After all, we only have eight hundred people, where can we distinguish between surprise soldiers and regular soldiers?" β
"I've said a few times that I'm going to bypass Kunlun Pass. Yongzhou is at stake, and we don't have that time. And there are few soldiers in hand, and they take a small road to Yongzhou to bypass, which is a self-defeating road. β
Han Gang denied the previous speculation, and Li Xin and Su Ziyuan were confused, "Then how to capture Kunlun Pass?" β
"Rely on the imperial court!" Han Gang was about to explain in depth, but he saw a group of people coming in front, and the leader was wearing an official robe, "The governor of Pennsylvania is here." And he went on no further.
Zhao Mingji has only served as the governor of Pennsylvania for five months, and he is not the official governor of Pennsylvania, but temporarily takes charge of Pennsylvania state affairs as a professor of Guizhou. This is very common in Liangguang, and it is not surprising that the three armies on Qiongya Island, except for Qiongzhou, have even had examples of officials and governors. However, when it falls on the head of an individual, it can still be regarded as a beautiful difference. But after the invasion of Jiaozhi, especially after the loss of Kunlun Pass, Zhao Mingji couldn't wait to throw this hot position out of the city and run back to Guizhou early.
Although Zhao Mingji was wearing an official robe, in the eyes of Han Gang and others, he did not look like an official, just a poor and rich village pedant. Zhao Mingji walked over with the officials in the city, carefully not looking at the heads piled on the side along the way, and trekked hard to reach Han Gang's face.
"The lower official paid a visit to the envoy. Ming Ji has seen the Soviet military sentence and Li Dujian. β
Zhao Mingji put his position very low in front of Han Gang and the three of them, needless to say, Han Gang and Su Ziyuan are both serious officials of the Beijing Dynasty, and Li Xin's level of military generals is not something he dares to offend, especially after seeing Li Xin's martial arts with his own eyes.
Not to mention that there are more than 1,000 thieves, and they also use a strategy to hide 200 ambush soldiers behind their backs. But these thieves, Jingnan Army solved them without much effort, and a battle was as easy as chopping vegetables and melons. The people of Pennsylvania who were driven by them rose up in a group to attack, and there were more than 20 cavalry outside, and there was no shelter in the huge field. At the end of the day, none of the thieves who came to commit the crime escaped from the city. Especially those ambush soldiers who were hit by the spear throwing, many of them were even firmly supported by the spears that were inserted in their bodies, and their bodies were reclining, but they did not fall to the ground. made Zhao Mingji feel furious in his heart.
"Xiaguan is in an important place in the middle of the road, looking at the north day and night, and looking forward to Jingnan coming to the rescue early. Today finally made the lower officials wait......" Zhao Mingji sang the praises of virtue and said nonsense.
Su Ziyuan was very impatient when he heard his feet grinding on the ground, and he was still anxious to know how Han Gang wanted to recapture Kunlun Pass. Although Li Xin was still silent, he also looked impatiently at the soldiers under his command who were cleaning the battlefield.
On the battlefield, there are bloody traces everywhere. At this time, the soldiers who participated in the battle were using swords and axes to cut off their merits from the corpses one by one, and several of Han Gang's personal soldiers were making notes on the side. Regardless of whether the thief is slightly injured or seriously injured, he will be dealt with with an axe. More than a thousand beheadings, just piled up is a hill.
And the people who had been saved sat on the piles of corpses and wept with their heads in their arms, and many of them perished with the thieves. The officers and soldiers were able to achieve such great results because of their hard work. The first thing he did after the battle was to order someone to quickly carry the wounded people to a clean place to bandage and give first aid.
Han Gang and Li Xin's personal soldiers almost all sent out, it can be said that Han Gang's influence, now the personal soldiers of the generals of the Western Army have basically received a full set of battlefield first aid training, which is an expedient move that cannot popularize the medical care system, because it can make the generals subdue the hearts of the army and spread.
One by one, the heads were handed over for inspection, and the heads of the barbarians were tattooed all over their faces, and even after death, they were still as hideous as ghosts. Li believed in the Buddha: "The cycle of heaven is unpleasant." β
"There are a lot of devout believers in Futu in the south, and Li Foma and Li Rizun are also built one temple after another." Su Ziyuan sneered, "I don't have any compassion at all, how can it be so easy to become a Buddha just thinking about building a temple and shaping a golden body." β
Seeing Su Ziyuan and Li Xin talking about him distractedly, Zhao Mingji did not say even a word of flattery, he was sincerely grateful to Han Gang and Li Xin. He had seen the defeat of the enemy's entire armyβjust over twenty days ago. In the following days, he couldn't sleep for many nights in a row, for fear that when he woke up, there would be a banner outside the city, and he finally looked forward to today's great victory of the official army.
"Envoys, Governors, Military Judges." The personal soldiers sent by Han Gang to count the casualties returned, "The casualties in the army have been counted, four people were killed in battle, and twenty-seven were wounded. β
Han Gang nodded, he saw the whole battle in his eyes, and it was almost this number. The wounded could not rejoin the battle in a short time, but the team of more than 800 people was now less than 30 fighters.
Zhao Mingji was exclaiming, "Attack an army of a thousand people with an army of a thousand people, and the enemy will be given the head, and the official army will only lose four people." This is a miracle in the world. Han Yun made the command determined, and Li Dujian was brave and brave. β
"It is a thief who abandons his strengths and uses his shortcomings, but he kills himself by doing so. If there is a fight, the difference in casualties will not be so wide. If they hadn't accompanied the people, they would have always escaped, and they wouldn't have all been tripped up on the battlefield and none of them escaped. β
"The envoy is both civil and military, and his name is passed down to the world, and he is only a barbarian in the south, where can he get it."
"It's also thanks to Zhao Zhizhou's efforts to protect Pennsylvania from losing, if the barbarians get Pennsylvania City, I will wait for the second time to come, and I will definitely be caught off guard by the city."
Hearing Han Gang's words, Zhao Mingji's round face suddenly turned red, and Han Gang's simple words confirmed his efforts to defend the city. His right to take the state matter, you can change the word 'receiving' to 'know' - the right to know Pennsylvania.
He bowed: "The lower officials have prepared houses, wine and food in the state, and also invited the envoys, military judges, and capital prisoners to bring loyal and brave soldiers into the city to rest." β
"It's fine." Han Gang turned back to Su Ziyuan and Li Xin and said. "It's better to rest in the city first, and then talk about other things." The soldiers on the battlefield, who had been on the road all day, and then another big battle, and now, although they forgot about their fatigue because of the excitement of victory, they would soon be unable to hold on.
Now there is only one fact that has been confirmed - the destruction of Yongzhou City is only in the blink of an eye. In order to rescue Yongzhou City, it is not enough to rescue Pennsylvania alone, at least Kunlun Pass must be taken. In this way, the Jiaozhi thief army can be forced not to dare to besiege Yongzhou again
If Yongzhou City was broken, Han Gang would never venture in. But at the moment, it is this ambiguous situation, even if it is just to send someone to find out the news, it is a delay in time. "After entering the city, let's discuss how to take Kunlun Pass...... Han Lian, you brought that He Xuexue back, he should have suffered a lot. β
"That's right." Han Gang instructed Zhao Mingji again, "Zhao Zhizhou, the results of this battle should be transmitted back to Guizhou as soon as possible to reassure the people of Guangxi." β
Zhao Mingji listened to it and said hurriedly: "The lower official will go and dispatch the horse." β
The governor of Pennsylvania walked a little farther away, picked up the subordinate who was responsible for delivering the news, and asked him to immediately ask the people in the delivery shop to prepare, and when the head was counted, he immediately set off with the battle report.
About 100 civilians who had been injured on the battlefield were receiving first aid in the pavilion on the side of the official road. Han Gang took Zhao Mingji over to visit, and when he saw a few officials coming, the rescued people were busy kneeling down and kowtowing to Han Gang, but none of them were grateful to Zhao Mingji. The eyes of the masses are bright, and whoever helps them, they are grateful.
Han Gang took a look at the treatment situation, there were already forty or fifty people who had their wounds bandaged, but there were more than twenty people lying outside the pavilion, and there were relatives and friends crying next to them, all of them were wounded who had not had time to be saved, and they didn't know how many could be saved. However, he still asked Zhao Mingji for a clean barracks in the city, and he wanted to build a military hospital first, and the wounded who were saved were moved to the city to recuperate.
Assign the tasks to be dealt with outside the city one by one. The results of the battle have also been counted. Sixteen large and small barbarian generals were beheaded under Liu Yong, the younger brother of Liu Ji, the great leader of Guangyuan Prefecture, and 1,124 were beheaded, but there were fewer prisoners, only one - as long as they were not Han, they were all killed. In addition, there was also the property that the people had been robbed, and Han Gang asked Zhao Mingji to be responsible for counting and returning it.
After confirming the results of the battle, Han Gang and the other three rode on horses, led an army full of booty, and went to Penn City with Zhao Mingji. Up and down the city of Pennsylvania, there were deafening cheers. The citizens of Pennsylvania cheered for the victorious Wangshi.
Passing through the city gate, Su Ziyuan couldn't wait any longer, "Yun Envoy, how are you going to capture Kunlun Pass?" β
"Didn't you hear that? The thief guarding Kunlun Pass will be the golden man of the cave master of Guangyuan Prefecture. β
