More and more troops came to help, and the Lu army, which was advancing lightly, broke out with amazing action. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough many units are not fully organized, they still have a lot of combat effectiveness. Among them, the most prominent ones are the Qiangbai Revenge Company, the Chang'an Blood and Tears Company, and the Shaanxi gentry and landlords, who have not been in the army for a long time and have not even received systematic training.

Although the original military commander of the thief army lost his use value, he was either arrested and imprisoned, or was put on hold, and the officer was replaced by someone from the Lu army. However, the combat effectiveness of the troops was not lost, their original combat effectiveness was not high, and Zhao Guanhou did not treat them as soldiers. But when they heard that it was Guo Jian, these people took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield, and the speed of the march was surprisingly fast. Compared with many regular troops of the Lu army, the time to the battlefield was earlier.

Guo Jian's flag has fallen, and the other Guo Zi flag on the battlefield is Guo Jian's younger brother Guo Huaiyuan. These revenge groups couldn't recognize the difference between the two Guo, and some people shouted "Guo Jian is there!" Immediately, these troops rushed towards Guo Ziqi's location like evil wolves.

Guo Huaiyuan is also a fierce general in the green forest, his troops were a little stunned when they came up, and at this time they had just reorganized the team and were ready to join Guo Jian. Not wanting a force to rush at him like crazy, the two rows of guns failed to stop the shocker's footsteps. As if they had a deep grudge against him, the attackers rushed up with bullets, and the vanguard in the first row suffered more than seventy percent of the casualties. But the second platoon immediately filled the position, and when the two sides were about to make contact, the infantry on the front line opened fire.

This shooting method was learned from Lu Jun, and he didn't have a chance to use it in peacetime. After all, enduring gunfire is not something these troops can do. But only in the face of Guo Jian, the anger of revenge exceeded the fear of death, and the ammunition poured down after approaching, and Guo Huaiyuan's forward suddenly collapsed.

Liang Niu, a big man in Woodlands Village, shouted, "Golden boy, I have avenged you!" He rushed towards five bayonets, poked five bayonets at his body, did not retreat, but advanced, and casually pulled the fuse of the grenade around his waist.

"you, I'm coming!"

"Sister, brother gives you blood hatred!"

Shouts like this rose one after another on the battlefield, and these people came to charge almost in the same posture, while the thieves shouted "Ten acres of land, ten acres of good land!" "It's also brave and desperate, Guo Huaiyuan's subordinates have never seen this kind of desperate fighting, and the troops began to retreat to both sides, wanting to avoid the edge of these madmen. But the concession soon turned into an escape, and then a rout.

Guo Huaiyuan was inexplicable, and before he understood how he lost, the troops dispersed, so he had to take the flag and turn around and leave. But as soon as he fled to the team of Ma Lingfu, the leader of the other road, those crazy infantry rushed up.

Guo Huaiyuan looked at the soldiers who had broken his team and killed him, and subconsciously shouted: "I am not Guo Jian......"

"Those who shield Guo Jian will also die! Slaughter him, slaughter him! ”

He shouted only this one sentence and was overwhelmed by the angry crowd. The swordsman in Guanzhong died at the hands of a group of crazy civilians, and the murderer held his head and cried with joy, "The revenge of the whole family of nineteen has finally been avenged!" ”

The role played by these outlaw forces was beyond imagination, and at the cost of high casualties, they disrupted the formation of Guo Jian's troops. Guo Bu is not good at battle, and at this time, he has no formation. Sporadic resistance, in the face of organized infantry platoon guns, the end was already doomed.

Bayonets and bullets, harvesting the lives of the civilian army, broke and fled, and they could no longer be controlled. Originally, the troops that arrived from the Lu army, plus the Huai army, were still less than the Guo army, but Guo Jian himself lost his ability to control the battle situation because he was out of the battlefield. Zhao Guanhou went back and forth to the battlefield and gathered troops.

As a result, the situation on the battlefield gradually became, and the Lu army, under the command of the banner, formed a team, set up an infantry phalanx, the military musicians beat the snare drum, and the troops opened fire on the enemy in pieces, charged, shot, and charged.

Guo Jian's troops didn't even have time to reorganize their ranks, and when soldiers gathered slightly, either cavalry rushed over, or infantry lined up to attack. The cannon seized from Guo Jian's hands was turned to the use of the Lu army, and the cannonballs began to be fired at Guo Jun.

Although there were not many artillery pieces, their own shells fell on their heads, and the damage to morale was extremely great. Guo Jian's troops, who were fighting separately, decided that they had fallen into a desperate situation and began to flee in all directions. The swordsmen who led the troops also shouted and shouted for their subordinates to retreat.

These stragglers were disrupted by the sudden blow, the commander could not control the troops, the soldiers began to flee, and Guo Jian had to admit that he was afraid that he would be defeated again. He kept condolences to the eight generations of ancestors of the Zhen Song Army in his heart, and he could only desperately flee.

For the Shaanxi People's Army, the disaster could only be regarded as just beginning, with the cavalry of Tiger Roaring Forest, the mixed brigade of Shang Quan, and even Sun Xinyuan's Hubei reinforcements...... Originally, Zhao Guanhou only brought his Lu army descendants to Tongguan to respond, but after Sun Xinyuan and other troops learned the news, they immediately ordered the troops to set off.

The timing of the arrival of the two troops was very good, and when the Guo Department was in a big rout and the army structure was gone, the two troops appeared one after another. Sun Xinyuan used many deceitful troops, and did not intercept Guo's rout in the front, but launched an attack from the flank, two rows of guns, plus Xueliang bayonets, the Shaanxi army that was defeated and could not form an army, began to surrender on a large scale.

Capturing and seizing, Lu Jun has long been familiar with these tasks, and there is no need for Zhao Guanhou to order. He got off his horse and walked straight to the Huai army formation, and Yang Futian greeted him and gave a military salute. Zhao Guanhou's face was gloomy and he asked, "How many casualties?" ”

"Report to the commander, the casualties of our army have not yet been counted, probably in ...... A battalion or so ......"

The art of language is endless, and it doesn't sound like much in a camp or so. But when Zhao Guanhou's eyes scanned the troops, he could roughly guess how much water there was in this number. He sneered: "You just counted the death, and the injured one didn't count, right?" Two regiments! Two whole regiments! The dead were more than a battalion. They are heroes who fought with me the Rouran bandits, and outside Xuanhua City, they fought the Cossack cavalry. As a result, you died in such a place, you say, what kind of responsibility should you bear? ”

"Damn it! Please punish the marshal! ”

Yang Futian didn't argue anything, but stood up and gave a military salute, Zhao Guanhou saw that he was covered with blood and embarrassed, and he didn't know if he was injured or killed. Ordered: "Go to the military doctor for treatment first, rescue all the wounded, reduce the losses as much as possible, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back to other problems." Where is Cheng Yue? ”

"My wife is back in the carriage."

Zhao Guanhou walked to the door of the carriage and coughed lightly, and then heard a clanging sound inside and a woman's scream. When he rushed in, he saw a piece of water sprinkled on the bottom of the carriage, and an enamel basin fell to the ground. Cheng Yue was hurriedly cleaning up, wiping away part of the blood on her head and face, but some of it was still there. The clothes had just been changed, and the bloody clothes were thrown aside, and they hadn't been cleaned up yet.

"Cheng Yue, what are you doing? It's cold water! You don't even have hot water in your car? ”

"I didn't ...... If there is hot water, it is just the war just now, and there is no more. The concubine had just fought in front, and she looked very embarrassed, and she couldn't see the master. So whether it's hot or cold, you have to clean it up...... As a result, the master came in too quickly. ”

She lowered her head and didn't let Zhao Guanhou look at her face, but the man had already walked over and pulled her head up. Her face was unwounded, but it was full of tears, and when it touched her shoulder, you could see that she couldn't help but show a painful expression. Zhao Guanhou asked, "What, it's injured?" Where is the injury? ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay...... Don't ......"

Before the words fell, the clothes that had just been put on were untied, and then I saw a very casual bandage, as well as a red and swollen wound. Cheng Yue received a heavy blow to the shoulder in the white-knuckle battle just now, and his bones may also be in the way. Zhao Guanhou said with a cold face:

"You still want to hide this kind of injury, do you want to become disabled? I raised a crippled aunt, but what should Aici think when she sees her mother become a cripple? It's just nonsense, when you get back to the county, I'll help you get it. Fortunately, I have a way to treat bone injuries, and in our army, there are also bone pills and plasters from the Su family, so there will be no major incidents. But if you hide it like this, you will be punished. ”

The inside of the carriage was not much warmer than outside, Cheng Yue's skin was exposed to the cold air, her body trembled slightly, and tears flowed out again.

"I'm sorry...... Master, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore. The concubine wants to help you...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect that. The concubine knew that she had killed many Huaijun brothers, and originally, they didn't have to die......"

"It's good to know! Yuqing has a body, and she is about to give birth, so she can't take care of things like before. Moreover, her temperament is not a good temper of a mother. I'm counting on you to take the baby. It's good for you to learn how to lead soldiers to fight. I won't talk about the casualties first, I'll ask you, if you leave the house, who cares about the children? Let a group of girls take it? ”

"Jade ...... Lady Jade and Ah Jiu are ......"

"Yumei is not from our family, what qualifications does she have to help you discipline the child? Ah Jiu is a child king himself, let the two of them be housekeepers...... I really don't know, say what you ordered! ”

Cheng Yue was torn apart in front of the battle, seriously injured, and his expression remained unchanged. But at this time, when he saw that his husband was angry, his face was as frightened as earth, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, "Master, the concubine is not thoughtful, please punish the master." The concubine body is just ...... I just miss you, but I am also afraid of you, I am afraid that you will have few soldiers and food on the battlefield, which is not conducive to a long battle, and I am afraid that you will make a mistake...... The concubine is even more afraid, you forgot me...... I know that I can't give birth to a son, it's useless, and the only thing I have is these Huaishang boys, who can die with me. In my hometown, I recruited thousands of soldiers to train in the barracks, and brought more than 2,000 brothers here to meet you. In the car, there are also food and medicine...... Unexpectedly, there was an ambush. It's me who is not good, please punish the master. ”

Seeing her shivering on the ground, I don't know if it was cold or timid, but Zhao Guanhou seemed to be poked in the heart with a bayonet. When I started in Shandong, I relied on military training, and the foundation of military training was the Huai Army. The reason why those Huai soldiers were willing to follow them was that they were not dragged away by others, and they were able to persevere when they were undergoing harsh training. Of course, there are considerations such as military salary, future, and welfare, but the identity of Huaijun's son-in-law is the most important link.

I don't care much about the Huai Army's stay today, or even if there is no Cheng Yue's bond, the Huai Army is reluctant to leave Shandong now. But is that fair to this woman?

Anger turned into guilt, Cheng Yue was pulled up, Zhao Guanhou touched her injury, and gently aligned the broken bones for her, "You spent the dowry and the money I gave you to recruit soldiers?" ”

"En......" Cheng Yue rarely enjoys the warmth of her husband, and at this time, she was treated by her husband for her injuries, and she didn't dare to look up, so she only bowed her head and said nothing.

"Aren't you distressed?"

"Concubine...... has no family, his talents and appearances are not outstanding, and he is not liked at home. I know that the old man doesn't like me, but he just perfunctory me in the way of the old man's and old lady's face. But I don't care, as long as you want me, that's fine. What's the use of asking for more money if you don't even have people? I believe that the lord can take care of Aici, as for the concubine body...... This time, the concubine body is ready to die on the battlefield, and those things outside the body are naturally not important. ”

"So, you want to die?"

"If the concubine dies on the battlefield, the lord may remember the concubine when he is in Qingming, give me a pour of incense, and let the children recite my name. If...... If she dies in the inner house, the concubine is afraid that the master will forget about the concubine in the future. I'd rather you remember me than you forget me. I know that this time I made a big mistake and killed hundreds of soldiers. You...... Kill me. But don't leave me, if you let me go to church, even the old lady will be ashamed. You killed me, and let me give my life to repay those who died in battle. ”

She has always been introverted, she keeps everything in her heart, and she doesn't dare to talk to her husband. This time, I said what was in my heart, closed my eyes, and waited for my husband's sanction.

Zhao Guanhou lowered his head and looked at this woman who was not beautiful, at home, she was really not very brilliant, and she did not lose her temper with herself, and there was very little communication between the two. But today, I found that Cheng Yue at this moment was actually beautiful and thrilling, and I was ashamed of myself.

"Don't be stupid, how could I not want you. Victory and defeat are common things for soldiers, not to mention that you are not defeated. I know I wasn't good enough for you in the past, but we're both young after all, and we still have time to make up for it, don't we? I apologize to you, I ask for your forgiveness, and you are not allowed to hold a grudge against me. In the future, I will treat you well, how about it, can you promise me? ”

While speaking, Zhao Guanhou had already taken off his mink coat, covered Cheng Yue, hugged her, and said softly: "Do you promise or not, forgive me......"

What answered him was Cheng Yue's hug with all her strength and howling and crying, but what this cry contained was boundless joy and relief. After several years of neglect, she finally got a warm life, and she only felt that even if she died, she had no regrets.

The losses of the materials transported in the train were not large, but the casualties of the soldiers were heavy, and the total number of dead and wounded was more than 1,000. Yang Futian knew that the deputy brigade commander would definitely not be able to do it, so he simply asked for punishment and asked to be demoted to the battalion as the battalion commander.

With such a big loss, someone must be responsible, since Cheng Yue can't take the blame, then only he is left. Knowing that Yang Futian was wronged, Zhao Guanhou still said coldly: "You go to the military academy first, give me a new study, and after you finish studying, you will consider your placement." I will keep the position of deputy brigade commander for you, but whether you have a chance to come back or not depends on yourself. ”

Cheng Yue felt a little guilty and explained to Zhao Guanhou that this was his own responsibility and Yang Futian could not be blamed. Zhao Guanhou said: "You can't be blamed for things, and you can't blame him all." The key is that someone betrayed your whereabouts, so Guo Jian can fight so accurately. This account will not be settled just like this, I will send a telegram to Shigege, to our enemies, a little lesson, so that they understand that the blood debt is to be paid with blood.
