Chapter 25: Jingzhou

After motioning for Shi Youliang to sit down, Pang Yue continued: "Don't say it's you, at that time, even I didn't believe that Jingzhou Qinglu dared to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack, and most of the people in the General Staff Division didn't plan to do anything in this regard. What is the reason for the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info? Since the end of the war between Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, there has been a wind of arrogance in our town. The previous few victories were not difficult, but I took it for granted that the Qing captives were so vulnerable that they would definitely be terrified when facing our army. If it is not enough for them to escape, how dare they take the initiative to fight? But the result? Shen Zhixiang, the pseudo-Shun Gong, wanted to do the opposite and gave our army a head-on blow! ”

In fact, when Pang Yue first learned the news, why wasn't he angry in his heart? But after calming down and thinking about it for a while, I found that this defeat was not without reason, and naturally there was a prerequisite basis for its occurrence. Is it a day's cold to freeze three feet? The arrogance and carelessness that has permeated the army and the series of negative effects that have resulted from it have accumulated over a long period of time and have become the biggest motive for this to happen.

Perhaps, this defeat is not all bad for Huguang Town, on the other hand, it is also a rare warning, otherwise if this trend continues, the harm will only be greater.

Shi Youliang suffered a defeat, and he was already remorseful in his heart, but now seeing Pang Yue's generous attitude, he felt even more guilty in his heart. Just listening to Pang Yue's words, he seemed to be speechless, his eyes drooped, and he looked a little depressed.

"It's just a small defeat, why should Zhou Ming be like this?" Pang Yue was half persuasive and half admonished, "Since my Huguang Town has a heavy responsibility, then I must be able to win the battle. But you have to be able to afford to lose! It is a cowardly act to be depressed or cowardly after a failure! Learning from defeat and making up for one's own lack of victory in the future is the right way! ”

Shi Youliang sighed heavily: "The handsome man taught a lesson!" It's just that I think of so many soldiers because of my recklessness. It's not a taste in my heart! The handsome and benevolent don't care about me, but I must receive this punishment, otherwise it is not enough to remind others, and I really can't pass this level in my heart. ”

"Of course, punishment must be punished, I have my own measure, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Other than that. I already know what happened in this battle. You can still deal with it calmly and not recklessly and impulsively. It's good to quickly disengage from the enemy! Courage is indispensable for a general, but sometimes it is necessary to do what you can. If it's the same as before. In that kind of terrain, I am afraid that I will have to suffer even greater losses. To have the progress we have today. It's not easy either. ”

"Dashuai said so, I'm afraid I'll have to find a crack to get into."

"That's it! If nothing else, just get back in here and think about it! All kinds of post-war pacification matters also need to be carried out as soon as possible. In addition, don't fucking hang your face all day long, and if you lose a game, you will be like a bitch, is that all you have to offer? "Pang Yue and Shi You's appearance has not been for a short time, so they naturally know what to say to their appetite.

Really. Hearing Pang Yue's foul words, Shi Youliang had a slight smile instead: "Obey." Handsome! ”

After Shi Youliang left, Zhang Yunli and Ma Yuancheng also came to plead guilty and review the mistakes made by the General Staff Department and the Intelligence Department. Pang Yue discussed it with Haosheng, but he also didn't make too many calculations and accusations.

After that, Pang Yue specially asked Shi Wanchun, the chief supervisor, to ask him: The chief supervision department and its subordinate subdivisions should organize a propaganda and education in the whole town in response to the failure of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and warn the soldiers in the town to get rid of the previous arrogant and arrogant wind. However, at the same time, it is also necessary to grasp the proportions, and in the propaganda, it is necessary not only to explain the harm of pride and underestimating the enemy, but also to talk more about the heroic deeds of the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Battalion who fought hard to break through the siege after falling into a predicament, so as to boost the morale of the army and avoid the negative impact of overdoing it and destroying the prestige of the enemy.

Shi Wanchun took the order and went to arrange it himself.

......

On that day, Shang Kexi, Kakham, and Daniel Zhang led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Xiangyang south to Jingzhou, in order to rush to arrive before the Ming army came to the city, and there were many lines and few stops along the way, which could almost be regarded as a day and night journey. In the evening of this day, we finally arrived in Songzi County, more than 100 miles west of Jingzhou.

It was also at this time that Shen Zhixiang of Jingzhou sent a fast horse to deliver a military report: the day before yesterday, the defenders of Jingzhou took the initiative to attack, using the feint defeat army as bait to introduce the Ming army's advance into the encirclement thirty miles northeast of Bao'an County. After a while, the Ming army was defeated and fled. After counting the results of the battle, more than 1,000 Ming troops were annihilated in this battle, including dozens of officers below the 1,000 generals, 300 war horses were captured, and countless weapons such as firearms, knives and guns, bows and arrows were captured. The Jingzhou defenders suffered no more than three hundred casualties. After this battle, the Ming army retreated to Bao'an County, eighty miles south of Jingzhou, and did not dare to make another easy move north.

After reading the military newspaper, Shang Kexi was overjoyed and told the generals around him: "Who said that the thief is difficult? Who is the elite of the Huguang puppet Ming army? In this battle, Xu Shungong was able to annihilate more than 1,000 enemies with a large number of enemies, which was a complete victory and a good start for our army. From this point of view, the army under the command of Pang Thief is no more than Erer! ”

When Shang Kexi's generals and Daniel Zhang, Kaqam and others heard of this victory, they were all excited.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Shang Kexi decided not to camp anymore and led the army to Jingzhou overnight. Of course, in order to avoid following in the footsteps of the Ming army that day, he was very careful, in addition to sending a messenger to contact Shen Zhixiang in Jingzhou, he also mobilized twice as many scouts as before, and went around to guard and investigate, in case of emergencies.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and at noon the next day, Shang Kexi led the reinforcements to arrive at the city of Jingzhou, and Shen Zhixiang and Zheng Siwei, the chief soldier of the Jingzhou Green Battalion, and others personally went out of the city to greet them.

"As soon as King Zhishun's army arrives, Jingzhou will be safe, and Shen will be completely relieved!" Shen Zhixiang greeted Shang Kexi warmly.

For Shen Zhixiang, the more than 10,000 reinforcements that are still gratifying can indeed be regarded as timely rain and snow in the carbon. In the past few days, although the Ming army had been stationed in Bao'an County, and there was no sign of going north, he was always worried about the possible retaliation of the Ming army. Although the city of Jingzhou was high and thick, this did not offset the hidden worries in his heart, because he heard that it only took two days for Pang Yue to attack Guangzhou. Where is Guangzhou? The capital of Liangguang and Guangzhou, the city is stronger than Jingzhou.

Now that more than 10,000 reinforcements have arrived, plus the original defenders in the city, there are nearly 20,000 people, and Shen Zhixiang's hanging heart has finally let go.

"Xu Shungong is too humble, too humble! The battle commanded by Gong the day before yesterday was really a stroke of genius, and it was really a great setback to the prestige of the puppet Ming army and a great boost to the morale of our army. When Xiao Wang heard it, he had to be impressed! Shang Kexi also replied happily.

After greeting for a while, Shen Zhixiang personally led Shang Kexi, Ticham, Daniel Zhang and others into the city to watch the results of this battle.

In a clearing in the urn city, there were a bunch of bloody heads on top of each other, roughly in the shape of a cone tower, and I am afraid that there would be hundreds of them. I saw that these heads were all tied with hair, and most of the expressions that had already been fixed were fierce and fierce, or their eyes were round, or their mouths were wide open like shouting, as if their anger had not subsided. Apparently a warrior without a doubt. On the other side, the armor, helmets, military flags, swords and firearms and other weapons of the Ming army were also piled up into several hills.

"King Zhishun, please see, this is the head of the thief captured by our army this time, the captured armor and weapons, and other things." Shen Zhixiang introduced in detail, "Due to the fact that our army used a lot of artillery in this ambush, many puppet officials and soldiers were incomplete. Shen only sent someone to cut off those intact heads, with a total of six hundred and thirteen levels. But the armor was stripped off, and there were 1,119 pairs in all. Among them, the highest-ranking official who was killed was a member of the puppet Ming thief army. Shen has asked people to dig out his heart, and put his head and armor in another place. ”

"Yes, Xu Shungong is really in command! Killing more than 1,000 officials and soldiers of Guangzhen in the pseudo-Ming Lake is not undeniable! It's just that I don't know how Pang Yue's guy should grit his teeth and scold when he is angry and depressed, hahaha...... "Shang Kexi watched the piles of heads, armor and weapons with interest, and praised and joked from time to time, and did not object to Shen Zhixiang's explanation.

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Shen Zhixiang smiled while secretly observing Shang Kexi's expression, although he didn't find anything unusual, he still felt a little empty in his heart. That's right, he does have some weakness, and the source of his weakness is the results he reports.

Since the Ming army is all tied with hair, this head is really not easy to pretend, even if you want to kill good and take off, you can't find a target, because the people nearby are also shaved. But Shen Zhixiang also has a way to replace the head with armor. The armor is easy to find, and there is still a batch in the warehouse in Jingzhou City, which is not much different from the style of the armor of the Ming army in Huguang Town. As long as he does a little tricking, breaks it a little, and stains it with some blood, it is enough to confuse the real with the fake, including the armor of the Ming army Qianzong he said was captured and killed, and it was also directly turned out of the warehouse. The key is whether Shang Kexi will believe that in this battle, artillery will kill hundreds of people's heads.

As far as it seems that there are no accidents, Shang Kexi has not raised any objections to this.

But what Shen Zhixiang didn't know was that in that cheerful laughter, Shang Kexi had already observed his expression and eyes thoroughly without a trace.

"The excuses that Yuan Manzi used in Ningyuan back then, do you really not know about me? It's just to boost the morale of the army, I don't want to expose you! Shang Kexi still smiled, but he secretly said in his heart.

After seeing the results of the battle, Shang Kexi and Shen Zhixiang went out of the city with Tikkam and Daniel Zhang, who had come to Jingzhou for the first time, to inspect the nearby terrain and discuss the next deployment of troops while watching.

almost went around the city, and Shang Kexi was not in a hurry to let the soldiers and horses enter the city. Shen Zhixiang couldn't help but be a little puzzled and asked, "Why didn't King Zhishun order the army to enter the city?" The soldiers have come from afar, and they have been tired of saddle horses along the way, and now that the big war is imminent, you should rest early to recover your strength. ”

Shang Kexi laughed.

Now not only Shen Zhixiang, but even Daniel Zhang and Titicamu are confused, this is good, what is the laughter?

"Why is King Zhishun laughing?" It was Shen Zhixiang who asked the question.

"This king is laughing at Pang Yue's house, this time it is self-defeating, stealing chickens will not make rice!" (To be continued.) )
