Chapter 59: Sweeping
A man with a large tie of flowers was held high by a group of soldiers in green uniforms who had come from the mountains to the south, and the people who carried them appeared to be unconscious.
A strong man in green clothes carried a gilded helmet, walked in front proudly, and kept beckoning the soldiers to come and watch, his face was covered with black muddy water, two handcuffs and a Qi family knife on his waist, a dagger tied to his thigh, a strong crossbow on his back, and two Jiannu heads were hung on the belt, and some of the branches inserted in his body were forgotten to be removed.
When they arrived at the prisoner, several special service soldiers threw the one on the ground with a bang, and the strong man in the lead ran over and grabbed the two coats' braids, pointed to the unconscious man on the ground and asked, "Who is this?" ”
The man on the ground was covered with blood, and the two coats could not recognize it for a while, and a soldier wiped the man's face indiscriminately, and both coats trembled and said, "Yes, it is Allah of the solid mountain with the white flag." ”
At the same time, the Ming troops of several special service teams breathed a sigh of relief, they had been hiding on the island to reconnoitre, and did not participate in the frontal battle, and after the Jin army broke up, they stared at the Kak Duli with a white flag, and waited for him to flee into the mountains and forests and raided him and a few Goshkha, and now they finally confirmed that they had not caught the wrong person. The surrounding Ming troops shouted in unison, and the captives of Jiannu were like ashes, they could be said to be very defeated, and even the main general was caught.
Liu Pojun brought the Chinese Army Guards and Ye Bu over, and he knew that this solid mountain was really important. The living are more expensive than the dead. Took over the captive and sent the special service team that had eaten dead birds for a few days to rest.
Lu Zhi and the others arrived quickly, he was more cautious than those special service teams, and caught more than a dozen Bao Yi and Yu Ding to take turns to confirm, and waited until he thought that he was foolproof, and then he laughed with satisfaction, this battle was finally completed with this prisoner.
Zhang Tao looked at the captives on the ground with bright eyes, and he said respectfully to Lu Zhi: "Lord Prison Army, Lord Chen." This person is the general soldier of a banner, and he is very important to Jiannu, and there are still remnants of Jiannu on the island, in order to prevent them from sneaking up and robbing people late at night. The lower officials asked him to be detained on Phi Dao, and the lower officials must personally take care of him, and nothing will go wrong. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Dongjiang generals around him, but only one of them spoke up.
When Chen Xin heard this, how could he put such an important person in the hands of Dongjiang Town, and said with a smile on his face: "Zhang Guerrilla has a heart, and the official has thanked him for his kindness first, but the people of Phi Island have many eyes, and there are not also remnants of Liu Xingzhi's Jiannu, and besides. Since Wendeng Camp can catch this person, it will naturally not be robbed by people, and it is also foolproof. ”
Zhang Tao looked ugly, Chen Xinyu mocked him with a pun, and commensurate him with his official position, reminding Zhang Tao that according to his rank, it was not enough to grab the merits, Zhang Tao was also very thick-skinned, but said lightly: "Lord Chen, why should you be polite, you and I are both troops under Denglai, and we should help each other." ”
Chen Xin nodded again and again. Lu Zhi waved his hand and said: "What General Chen said is extremely true, the Jiannu on the island has been dispersed, so he will be detained here first, and the remnants will be swept away, and Lord Chen should personally sacrifice the prisoners." Seeing the face of the sky, this is the supreme glory of the martial arts. As long as you work hard, your officials will definitely treat everyone equally, and they will never swallow up your military merits...... Night falls, and the sky is full of stars.
There were intermittent wails of wounded soldiers in the camp of Wendeng Battalion, Chen Xin took the staff officers of the Chinese army and Lu Chuanzong, and checked the sentry posts next to each other, there were a total of eight combat groups on duty, and there were more than 20 hidden sentry posts, until Chen Xin finished inspecting, there were no slaves to harass.
After returning to the tent of the Chinese army, Lu Chuanzong followed in with a depressed face, Chen Xin smiled and pointed to one of the only two chairs, let Lu Chuanzong sit down, and said to him: "Still can't figure out the truth of Gushan?" ”
Lu Chuanzong turned his head and said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, the special service team has not done this authentically, my first division has hundreds of casualties, they secretly touched the big fish, if it wasn't for the first division to defeat the Jiannu brigade, they could catch that solid mountain is really weird, what is even more infuriating is that when my team of pursuers arrived, they quarreled with them a few words, and the special service captain actually beat my flag captain." ”
Chen Xin nodded again and again, and waited for him to finish before he said: "The matter of the fight is handled by the military judge, but the person was caught by the special service team, this matter is undoubted, but what you said is also reasonable, there is no way for the first division to defeat Jiannu, and there is no way to capture the enemy chief alive. You have done a good job in the past few years, and your merits are remembered. ”
Lu Chuanzong has been following Chen Xin for a long time, and when he heard Chen Xin say this, he had to accept it, and he was bored for a while before he said: "I'm just angry that those people are too arrogant, and they specialize in sneaky things, they have the ability to go to the battlefield to grab merit." ”
Chen Xin said with a smile: "The special service team is indeed a little arrogant, but they are originally doing sneaky things, and their dozens of people go to the battlefield to fight head-on, and they may not be able to defeat a combat bureau." ”
This time, the special service team came to a total of two squads, and before the war, they completed the reconnaissance of Xuanchuan and Shenmi Island respectively, which provided a strong guarantee for the final victory, and it can be said that the table is very conspicuous, and Lu Chuanzong now understands their role, but he always looks down on them.
After talking about Gushan Ezhen, Chen Xin asked Lu Chuanzong: "How about the casualties of the first division?" Can you continue to fight? ”
"The two divisions of musketeers on the left and right flanks were killed 19 people and wounded more than 60 people, the killer teams of the two divisions were killed 23 and wounded more than 30 people, and finally the third division, the seventh game of the third division was the left wing guerrillas, more than 10 people were killed, 37 people were killed in the eighth bureau of the Chinese army's position, and the killer flag team alone killed 24 dead and 17 wounded, and the killer flag was basically disabled."
Chen Xin patted Lu Chuanzong on the shoulder and comforted him a few words, the first division had a total of about 100 casualties, and the wounded were also more than 100.
In fact, the heaviest losses were not the soldiers, the firearms detachment and spearmen of the peasant company lost more than half, and it was the real crippled.
Chen Xin was planning to discuss the gains and losses on the battlefield with Lu Chuanzong. Liu Pojun reported in a low voice at the door. It was said that Shang Keyi, a general from Dongjiang Town, came to visit.
Lu Zhi lives on the coast in the north of the island, and the generals of Dongjiang Town have not returned to Phi Island, either on the boat or on the shore, and now they are here, they should be here to buy heads or take refuge, Chen Xin thought about it and replied: "Let him wait." He turned to the fur dog standing behind him and said, "Go and call the people from the trading company." ”
Then Chen Xin hurriedly explained to Lu Chuanzong and asked him to inspect the wounded soldiers and check the prisoners alone. The transactions with other military towns were not in sight, and Chen Xin did not want the people of Wendeng Camp to learn this.
The people from the trading company soon arrived, and Liu Pojun led a general in. The man knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed to Chen Xin, and said: "Xiaguan Dongjiang Town is still righteous, meet Lord Chen, the villain has long admired the power of Lord Hu." I've been looking forward to meeting adults in person, but this time I finally got what I wanted. ”
"General Shang is polite, what a tiger, it's just some luck, but I heard that General Shang participated in the capture of Salhu City in the first year of Chongzhen......"
A quarter of an hour later, Shang Keyi got the promise of thirty heads, and he was moved to tell the shopkeeper that in the future, all the smuggled goods would be bought from the Four Seas Trading Company, and the mink, fox skin, Dongzhu, ginseng, etc. exchanged would only be sold to the Four Seas Trading Company.
Shang Keyi had just left, and Chen Xin was already very tired. He has been nervous since last night, only sleeping for more than an hour, and today he is even more nervous, he is already exhausted, and he is ready to drink some water to rest, Liu Pojun reported at the door again, saying that the Dongjiang guerrilla Mao Youzhu is coming, Chen Xin had to rub his cheeks vigorously, cheered up and said: "Please let him in...... The night passed peacefully, and only a small number of Jiannu wanted to steal the ships at the foot of the mountain. Two were killed by the Secret Service's crossbow, and then no one came back, and the soldiers were all rested.
Chen Xin didn't sleep for long, and seven or eight people from Dongjiang came one after another, and one came every once in a while. He also had to put on a friendly appearance, and he would receive someone when he came to meet him.
Chen Xin was constantly woken up by the officers on duty. Then he squeezed out a smile and went to talk to those people in Dongjiang Town about business, and as soon as he sent one away, he fell asleep in a daze, and the officer began to call him again. He distributed hundreds of heads overnight, and also established a strategic cooperative relationship with those Dongjiang officers.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Phi Dao Naval Division sent out with all its troops to the north shore of Minami Island to join up with the big ships left here last night.
Chen Xin struggled to get up from the bed, first called a meeting of the officers, Zhang Dong, who had just arrived from Phi Dao, also attended the meeting, Chen Xin arranged for them to continue to deal with the aftermath today, first to continue to clean up the remnants of the mountains and forests, and then to screen the prisoners and calculate the merits of the war, as well as the detailed casualty statistics on their side, they need to be sent back to Weihai as much as possible, so that the training team can immediately select personnel from the reserve army to start training.
After Chen Xin got on the boat, a group of officers from Dongjiang Town came over to say hello, and Chen Xin greeted them politely one by one, and they were very warm with each other.
After seeing Lu Zhi, Chen Xin was a sycophant as usual, Lu Zhi slept well last night, and he was in good spirits in the morning, plus his face was flushed on a happy occasion, which was in stark contrast to Chen Xin's gray face.
Today, he will lead three water battalions to sweep Xuansha Island, and then jointly shell the Jiannu camp along the Xuanchuan River, which is both majestic and dangerous, and it is also a great achievement to repel the enemy army, which is a matter of great benefit.
"Let's go!" After Lu Zhi finished the plan, he stood on the bow of the ship and waved his hand, the big drum on the handsome boat sounded, and nearly 200 ships of all kinds went north together, surrounding Xuansha Island, each ship had a total of ten Hongyi cannons, as well as hundreds of general cannons and furlong machines and other artillery, and everyone bombed the island indiscriminately, beating the trees on the hill on the island to the branches.
After the bombing, hundreds of Dongjiang soldiers on fishing boats flocked to the island, and the generals were encouraged by the victory of the Wendeng camp yesterday, and their confidence seemed to have increased a lot, and many generals led their families to go into battle in person.
There were originally nearly 100 Jiannu on Xuansha Island, but they all heard the movement in the battle of Shenmi Island yesterday, and looked at the later appearance of the Ming Army's naval division, it should be that Houjin lost, so most of the people on Xuansha Island fled at dawn.
After noon, Dongjiang Town annihilated more than 20 Jiannu on the island, and they stuck their heads high on the heads of their guns, showing off on the coast.
Although there are fewer heads, but it is also a small victory, Lu Zhi led the sailors from one victory to another, after fighting Xuansha Island, they went directly to the shore of North Korea on the island of Midopo, where there is the original camp of Kak Duli, there are at least hundreds of armor soldiers and thousands of auxiliaries, but there are two or three miles offshore, and it is very difficult for Hongyi artillery to hit.
Lu Zhi didn't care about this, but still let all the boats of artillery fire together, and bombed the shore indiscriminately, including rockets at the same time, thousands of rockets roared and rowed, drawing crooked traces in the sky, and the sea was filled with gunsmoke, which was majestic.
This toss attracted the attention of Xuanchuanpu and Shekou Pujiannu, and soon cavalry appeared on the top of the hill in the distance, and from the smoke and dust behind them, the number was at least in the hundreds. This time, Dongjiang Town did not dare to go ashore, just as Jiannu did not dare to fight with them at sea.
Chen Xin didn't plan to go up, he wouldn't take a broken division to face Jiannu's cavalry, and after the fierce battle, in fact, this vicious battle was the best training, and the surviving soldiers were a valuable asset, and he would transfer some of them out and arrange them to the officer training class, training team, peasant company, and so on, so that their experience and spirit would drive the Wendeng battalion to a higher level.
Fortunately, Lu Zhi was not ready to go ashore, and when the guns of the ships stopped, Lu Zhi ordered a retreat, preparing to come again the next day to continue the bombing, when he was on the ship, according to the recent results of the battle, he called Chen Xin to the lower level, and completely regarded Chen Xin as a confidant from the demeanor, Chen Xin did not have any aversion to the death of the eunuch, as long as he did not have too intimate movements.
Lu Zhi took out the recital to the emperor, signaled Chen Xin to look, Chen Xin made a flattered look, and looked at it respectfully, most of the words written in it were true, and at the same time half-truths and half-truths, the number of enemies killed doubled, the process passed through those follow-up moistening pens, the battle was more moving, even Lord Lu was in danger, and the results were even more powerful, Lu Zhi learned from his predecessors, wrote cannons and Huanglongmu to see a big slave chief fall off the horse, and then a group of Jiannu howled and cried, and hugged him, because they were afraid of the military might of Lord Lu, so they fled, who exactly hit, Of course, no.
Write like this, maybe after a while, which of the slave leaders is unlucky, their own credit will be even greater, after all, people will die, so although it can't be regarded as a real feat, but it's no problem to earn some fame, this year, reputation can finally be converted into silver. Especially now that there are so many heads from yesterday, all his notes are convincing.
Chen Xin learned a hand, and said to Lu Zhi sincerely: "The adult talent is unparalleled, not only the strategy is excellent, but even the writing is so good, my emperor and the Holy Son of Heaven are in power, then the world has its own great talent, it turns out to fall on the adult......rs."
