Fifteen days!

The Fourth Legion set up a position under Feiyun Castle and fought a bloody battle with the Yue Clan's rebels for fifteen days!

The urgent documents had already been sent to the marshal's camp. There was only one reply that could be received: "Hold on, and within ten days, reinforcements will arrive!" ”

"What about reinforcements? What about the promised reinforcements? ”

In the conference room of Feiyun Castle, Brigade Marshal Lin Min was hunched up, curled up in front of the rectangular conference table, his legs curled up in front of his chest, his hands were clasped, he was already wrapped in a blanket but he was cold, and his mouth just kept muttering this sentence.

The officers at all levels present were all chilled when they saw his appearance.

"I can't hold it, let's break through! If we keep defending any longer, our Fourth Legion will be exhausted! A major of the Fourth Regiment took off his helmet in frustration and said gloomily.

His proposal was unanimously agreed by many of the officers of the Fourth Army Corps present.

"Breakout? Hmph, we have no field strength, do you want our cavalry to ram the infantry phalanx of the Yue Clan? Rather than that, I'd better defend Feiyun Castle! Wen Cui's sharp and disdainful tone spread throughout the conference room.

"Hold on? Do we have the capital to defend it? The officer of the Fourth Regiment slapped the table and shouted, "There are only more than 2,000 troops in the whole fort, and most of them are wounded. The arrows are still flawless, but if you look at the granary of Feiyun Castle, damn it, there are less than 6,000 stones left, which is enough for us to eat for five days at most! Guard, guard, guard, guard! Anyway, the palace marshal was also killed, and Lao Tzu would rather die on the way to the charge than hide here like a turtle! ”

This man's words spoke to the hearts of most of the Fourth Legion. When it came to grain and grass, their angry eyes all shot at Lin Min, who was curled up in a chair like a wreck.

It's this bastard, who didn't save a stone of grain and grass after a winter. It's all about eating last year's old grain - according to normal circumstances, the weapons supply of Feiyun Castle will be dispatched by officials from Duxin Prefecture or Dayue Prefecture, but most of the grain and grass supplies will be collected locally. After all, the area around Feiyunwei was originally densely populated, and the water and grass were abundant, so it was not a problem to reserve tens of thousands of stones in a winter.

But now when I look at the account books, the granary is almost bottoming out, not to mention, since the beginning of winter last year, there has not been a single grain and grass in the warehouse. Although there is a special situation of the southern invasion of the Hungarian coalition army, it is not that there is no grain and grass at all, right? There is only one reason. That is, the Lin Minlin Brigade Marshal in front of him did not grab food from the enemy at all, but let them fly to the clouds for trouble!

"Damn, if our palace marshal is still here, he must cut off his head first, with the heart of the army!" An officer of the Fourth Regiment muttered in a low voice.

The other said: "Why should the palace marshal be there." Even if our brigade commander is here, we will cut him first. Fuck. Lao Tzu has never fought such a battle! What's going on! ”

All the officers of the 4th Army were complaining. Looking at Lin Min and several other Feiyunwei local officers, the eyes were not very friendly.

As for Feiyunwei's officer, although his face was ashamed, he could only glance at his brigade commander, and then shook his head with a wry smile - how could they not know that this Lin Min in front of them was a waste, but this waste was the person with the highest military rank in Feiyunwei today! No one has the right to dispose of him!

Yes. During the fierce battle on the 15 th, the officers of the Fourth Army Corps of the Han Northern Frontier Front gave full play to the fearless spirit of "not being afraid of death, not being afraid of hardship" and "forging ahead bravely" and went to the corps commander. Go down to the division town brigade, and all the fucking deaths are clean!

Now the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers of the Fourth Army who have retreated to Feiyun Castle are still the Fifth Company really can't stand it, so they went out of the fort at night to check it out on the position and rescued them - Shen Yun really found it difficult to understand the psychology of these infantry generals, they were all killed under the wall of Feiyun Castle, and they still refused to retreat into the fort, and they still wanted to build a defensive line outside the fort and fight with the enemy...... Courage is brave, but it is the courage of a horseman!

Look at the current situation in the conference room, the seventeen battalion and company-level officers of the Fourth Army Corps do not even have a single commander. However, Feiyunwei still has two commanders, and Qu Ying is still in the third-level grassroots command. As for the special compilation department, the marshal and Hou Jian went to the marshal's camp, although the Qu battalion even survived the third-level officers, but the strength was greatly reduced. The entire Feiyun Castle is now a three-legged stand, no one can command anyone, and no one obeys anyone's command - the only brigade commander who has the power to command the overall situation is a fucking waste who can only shrink up in a chair and tremble......

The future is bleak!

Sometimes Shen Yun would wonder what gave the Han army generals such incomparable courage to die. Faith in the Emperor? Or is it the worship of the invincible prestige of the Great Han? Or is it the Great Han's death pension system, which is thousands of years ahead of this era?

Maybe both.

This is a time of paradox. There are many modern systems that transcend the feudal era, but they still retain the ignorance and purity of feudal thought! The education system of Emperor Shengzu is actually equivalent to brainwashing the Han people for 500 years, which has created the Han people to treat death as if they were at home on the battlefield! Of course, the social security system that surpasses the feudal era of "the families of martyrs are supported by the state" is also completely in line with the Confucian interpretation of "filial piety", so the soldiers of the Han army who have no worries are even more willing to work hard!

If you insist on finding a period similar to the mental state of Han soldiers in the history known by Shen Yun, it is undoubtedly the "Meiji-Showa" era of Little Japan in the east.

Although I don't want to compare the great Han people with small Japan, I have to admit that since the Meiji era, when Japan defeated the Qing Empire in the Sino-Japanese War and psychologically broke the shackles of pressure that China had imposed on it for more than 2,000 years, the Japanese have entered this state of almost madness! In the subsequent Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese relied on this spirit, using crowd tactics and relying on the speed of piling dead corpses, to defeat Tsarist Russia and establish the status of the first power in East Asia!

The current mental state of the Han people has been cleansed by Confucianism, and of course they will not be as crazy and paranoid as Little Japan, and the magnificent Chinese Empire will not allow the appearance of beast-like armies. But in a way, there are similarities.

……

Once again, the meeting broke out unhappily. Shen Yun didn't know why he was distracted in the meeting, so that everyone was gone, and he was still silent in his seat. Until the fifth company patted him on the shoulder.

"Master Hou, I think you should stand up!" This was the first sentence of the Fifth Company to Shen Yun.

But this sentence made Shen Yun, who was immersed in thinking, a little confused.

"Huh? What stands out? ”

There were only two people in the empty conference room, the Fifth Company and Shen Yun. The Fifth Company also had nothing to taboo, and said directly: "You are the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty, you have to stand up and command the entire Feiyun Castle operation!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Yun heard it clearly now. But he was still surprised, "Qu Chang, you ...... No, no, no, I said that the identity of my Marquis of Bohai must be kept secret, even if it is made public, Marquis Bohai is just an official, not a military rank! If it were not for His Majesty's Majesty's will, if I led the military power as an official, it would be a conspiracy...... Qu Chang, are you asking me to break the law of the country? ”

Truly. There is such a clear clause in the laws of the Han Empire. The purpose was to prevent the local princes from possessing private soldiers. Although there have been no feudal towns in the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, the Eight Kings Rebellion occurred during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. What's more, there is also a Holy Ancestor Emperor who has been there......

The fifth company had a grim face, and said in a deep voice: "The law of the country is nothing more than human feelings, not to mention the urgent military situation at this time!" Hou Ye. You don't want to watch our thousands of brothers become a plate of loose sand, and then let the Yue Clan's traitors take advantage of it, right? ”

"I don't want to. But I don't want Your Majesty to be jealous......" Shen Yun still disagreed.

The Fifth Company thought for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Since you don't agree." Then I have to agree with those bastards of the Fourth Legion, get ready to break through! With that, the Fifth Company stood up and prepared to go out.

Shen Yun hurriedly got up and grabbed it, and said hurriedly: "Breaking through now is equivalent to sending you to death!" "Shen Yun didn't want to die senselessly, and he didn't want Zhou Hui to die here too.

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the fifth company, but when he turned to Shen Yun, his face was cold: "Then what do you say?" ”

Shen Yun racked his brains and thought. But there is still no good way.

The fifth company suddenly attached to his ears and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, if you don't think about our brothers, you should always think about Miss Zhou, right?!" She's so like a flower. If you die here like this, don't you feel distressed? ”

"Yay?!" Shen Yun was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

A smile appeared on the cold face of the Fifth Company, but in Shen Yun's opinion, it was a little panicked.

"Marriage is forbidden in the army, but you are too obvious." The fifth is a secluded road.

Only then did Shen Yun know that the repeated meetings between himself and Zhou Hui that he thought were hidden had actually been known for a long time, since this was the case, Shen Yun was not embarrassed, and said directly: "Yes, Miss Zhou and I are in love, we have known each other since we were in school at Imperial University......"

"I don't want to hear about your love history," the fifth company waved his hand, interrupting Shen Yun's words, "I just ask you if you agree to stand up and command the soldiers of the whole fort to resist the enemy?" ”

"What if I don't agree? I don't believe you're going to order a breakout! Shen Yun said firmly.

The fifth company had that oozing smile on his face again: "Of course I won't order a breakthrough, but I'll still use your identity to do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Yun suddenly felt a little chill in his back.

The fifth company said very casually: "For example, hang the banner of your Bohai Marquis on the wall of the fort and lure the Yue clan traitors to attack, or simply push you out of the fort in exchange for the withdrawal of the Yue clan's rebels......

Shen Yun exclaimed, "You won't do this, will you?" ”

"Of course not." Fifth Lian said lightly, "But I will definitely reveal your identity, whether intentionally or not." ”

Shen Yun suddenly felt that the fifth company in front of him was very cunning, not at all as upright and selfless as his cold appearance showed - people should not be disguised, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me!

"Okay. Let's call everyone to a meeting! Shen Yun nodded helplessly.

The fifth company slammed its legs together, clenched its right hand into a fist on its chest, made a solemn military salute, and shouted: "Oh, Marquis of Bohai!" ”

……

The fifth company came out of the conference room, Zhang Mo and Fang Cheng, as well as Zhong Lisi, Pang Tong, Zhao Xin and other five people stood at the door, looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Mo smiled and said, "Qu Chang, Yuan Rang agreed?" ”

The fifth company nodded expressionlessly, then glanced at the five people, and said, "Forget it this time, don't let me do this kind of thing next time." ”

Zhang Mo pushed Zhong Lisi out, and said with a smile: "It's all this bastard's idea." One day, Bohai Hou was angry, and Qu Chang could push this kid out. ”

Zhong Lisi looked at Zhang Mo helplessly, and then said to the fifth company: "Qu Chang, this, it doesn't seem to be my decision alone......

The fifth company said coldly: "If you do it, you will do it, I won't let others top the tank...... Well, let's not talk about that. Notify everyone to come back for the meeting. Especially that Brigade Commander Lin! Also, call your first company, if he doesn't hand over the command, let's give a military advice! As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across the face of the Fifth Company.

Non-toxic and non-husband, it is a matter of thousands of lives in Feiyun Castle, if it really comes to that point, it is no wonder.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Rewind to five days ago. That is, June 1. The location is in the Marshal's camp in the upper reaches of the Zabkhan River.

"Marshal, Feiyun Castle can't hold it if you don't send reinforcements! Please send troops quickly! Zhuge Yun pleaded bitterly in front of Duke Hu.

Hu Gong sat behind the handsome case. Rubbing his forehead and silent. It was Dian Mu Dao beside him: "Nanshan Jun, it was you who originally advocated using Feiyun Castle as bait to occupy Kobdo to the north and expand the strategic space, and now you say that you want to save Feiyun Castle." How does this explain? ”

Zhuge Yun was a fool if he couldn't hear the schadenfreude in his words anymore, but he was in no mood to argue with him at this time. Instead, he turned to Hu Gongdao: "Marshal." The previous plan was to ask the Flying Cavalry to go north, and the Fourth and Fifth Legions to hold on to Feiyun Castle. But now that the Fifth Legion is in the Baidrag River, the Yueshi people don't use it as a breakthrough at all, and instead attack Feiyun Castle, so ......"

"So Nanshan-kun is messed up?" Dianmu snorted coldly and said, "The seven legions of the Yue Clan have besieged the Third Legion for nearly ten days and have not been completely annihilated. Its combat power is just average. Feiyun Fort is a large fort, and the Fourth Legion is defending the city with its back, and there is no problem for a month or two. ”

"That's because Hou Dianshuai commanded properly, and the third legion was a cavalry corps. Advance and retreat with ease. But the Fourth Army is an infantry corps, how can it be compared to the Third Army? What's more, the rear division of the Fourth Army has been completely wiped out, and the battle of Jinshan Forest clearly shows the familiarity of the Yue people with the area around Feiyun Castle. Zhuge Yun finally got angry and glared at Dian Mu Dao, "Dian Chenglin, don't you want to treat the Fourth Legion and the tens of thousands of soldiers of Feiyun Castle as outcasts?" ”

Dianmu was also furious: "It's you who fight, and it's you who doesn't fight." Now that something went wrong, you're blaming me again? Zhuge Nanshan, do you really think that I can't be bullied? ”

"You ......"

"Enough!" Hu Gong slapped the handsome case heavily and shouted angrily, "Haven't you had enough noise?" ”

Zhuge Yun and Dianmu were silent at the same time, but their eyes still glared at each other fiercely.

Hu Gong rubbed his temples and said tiredly, "Nanshan, tell me about your team's suggestions." ”

Zhuge Yun glared at Dian Mu and said, "Marshal, your subordinates must admit a mistake, that is, they miscalculated the comparison of the combat power of the enemy and us. Judging from the battles in the past few days, although our Northern Frontier Front Army has six corps, the only ones that can really exert their combat effectiveness are the two first-class corps of the Flying Cavalry Guard and the Liewuwei. As for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth fourth class B regiments, they are brave, but they are all brave, and it is difficult to take on a big task. ”

These words made Hu Gong nod slightly, and his originally tense brows eased slightly. In fact, Hu Gong also saw this problem.

Because of the equipment and morale, as well as the intensity of training, the strength of the first-class army of the Han Dynasty is more than a step higher than that of the second-class army in combat. In particular, the grass-roots officers of the First Class Corps were also better than the Second Class Corps in terms of their estimation of the battlefield situation and tactical vision, so in the same charging behavior, the First Class Corps was often able to achieve results, while the Second Class Corps was repeatedly frustrated, and the officers who led the charge were often the first to die.

This kind of battlefield vision and estimation cannot be formed overnight, and requires many battlefield experiences. In the 500 years since the empire was peaceful, the second-class legion in the interior has not participated in the war for many years, and even if there is a war on the frontier, it is all the first-class legion fighting. Now in the entire Han Empire, the only second-class army that can fight may only be a few border states and counties such as Beihai Prefecture, Xihai Prefecture, Burmese Prefecture, and Siam Prefecture. This is also one of the important reasons why the Third Army Corps, which is composed of the Second Class Army of Beihai Prefecture, was able to save more than 10,000 people to break through.

……

Seeing that Hu Gong acquiesced to his judgment, Zhuge Yun continued: "Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. Since our army can only fight the Flying Cavalry Guard and the Fierce Guard, the subordinates think that it is not appropriate to fight the enemy again at this moment, but should find a way to break through - Feiyun Fort is the key to our army's breakthrough, and Feiyun Fort must not be lost. Therefore, his subordinates implore the marshal to send troops to rescue Feiyun Castle immediately! ”

Zhuge Yun's words were undoubtedly a mistake before admitting himself. This is rare for a confident staff officer.

But Zhuge Yun wants to admit his mistake, just forget it? Of course it's not that cheap. At the very least, Noriki wouldn't agree.

"Marshal, my subordinates think that since Nanshan-kun admits that the previous plan was wrong, then I implore the marshal to give an order, and the battle plan of our squad shall prevail......"

"No!" Zhuge Yun interrupted, "Our army is already in a predicament, if we follow Cheng Linjun's suggestion, we will undoubtedly admit defeat." Once our army withdraws from the western part of Beihai Prefecture, I don't know what year and month it will be if we want to come back! ”

Dianmu completely went berserk, pointed at Zhuge Yun and said angrily: "Go and don't go, fight and don't fight, what do you want?" ”

"I ......" Zhuge Yun was also angry, but in the end he said helplessly, "I don't know." In short, I propose to rescue Feiyun Castle, but oppose the withdrawal of troops now. The point is that the Yueshi people will not let us retreat in peace! ”

"Hmph, that means you don't have a full plan at all?" Dianmu turned to Hu Gongdao with disdain, "Marshal, his subordinates have limited ability to impeach Zhuge Yun's staff officers, and they are not worthy of the position of staff officers, please punish the marshal." ”

When Hu Gong saw the two staff officers under his command coming and going, he was also faintly helpless. And Dianmu changed his previous tolerance of Zhuge Yun and became very sharp and aggressive, Hu Gong also knew the reason, it was nothing more than that Xu Dong came back, and Dianmu couldn't wait to drive Zhuge Yun away, so that Xu Dong could be transferred back to the marshal's tent.

"That's it," Hu Gong looked at Dianmu with burning eyes, and said in a calm tone: "The enemy is now, so don't turn against the two of you...... Chuan Fei cavalry guard Li Wu, Liewu guard Lei Heng, the third legion Hou Jian, and the sixth legion Tong Concrete came to the marshal's big tent to discuss matters. ”

Zhuge Yun and Dianmu glared at each other and snorted coldly. Then he saluted respectfully, "Wow! (To be continued......)
