Chapter 63: Winning Steadily
"The first contribution of this battle should be...... The Tiger of Fuchun, Sun Jian, Sun Wentai! ”
In the general army ledger of Luzhuang, Yang Qi, the general of the First Army of Guangling, raised his hand to Sun Jian in the tent, and introduced the newly joined friendly general to the subordinate generals in the tent with a smile on his face.
I have to say that the death of the rebel general Yuan Han, even Yang Qi was quite surprised, you must know that Yuan Han is the most powerful general in the rebel army, remember that in the Linjiang Plain, Yuan Han, as one of the vanguard generals of the rebels, has brought immeasurable losses to the Guangling army, and now this fierce general has fallen into the battlefield on the outskirts of Luzhuang, Yang Qi is really happy in his heart.
And the fierce battle during the day, it was precisely because of Yuan Han's death that the rebels' hearts were turbulent, at least the left flank of the rebels was like a piece of scattered sand, and even this influence also affected Gong Yu's own formation. Originally, Yang Qi led a few dozen horsemen to attack Gong Xu's main formation with the consciousness of going to death if he was unsuccessful, but he was surrounded by Gong Xu's troops, and the shape was precipitous. However, God blessed Guangling County, and the death of Yuan Han completely shook the fighting spirit of the rebels' left flank, and even made Gong Yu unable to transfer the follow-up army to besiege Yang Qi in time, and was finally killed by Yang Qi and his party of nearly 100 horsemen.
If Yang Qi's actions had made Gong Yu retreat, then when Danyang Taishou Xu Kun led five thousand Danyang elite soldiers to the battlefield, Gong Yu had already realized that he could not win this battle.
When the five thousand Danyang elite soldiers came out of the rear of the rebels and killed those rebels with great momentum, the victory or defeat of this battle has been completely biased towards the Guangling army. The 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers, like 5,000 fierce beasts, divided and surrounded the rebels in the blink of an eye. It is hard to imagine that the rebels, who were obviously about 7,000 people at that time, would be completely defeated by the Danyang soldiers in just one cup of tea.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the helpless Gong Yu had to abandon the army in order to survive, with a few henchmen and more than 100 horsemen. Went downstream along the river and went to another rebel general. For him, it was a shame to run away, but it was not like that for the whole battle at that time. With the support of the Guangling army with the fierce general Sun Jian and the strong army Danyang soldiers, Gong Yu was unable to turn the tide at all.
Ah, this is a crime of non-war!
If it is said that the defeat is forced on Gong Xu's head, then it can only be said that Gong Yu should not have attacked Guangling from this line in the first place, let alone for a victory and a little cheapness. was lured by Yang Qi to lead the whole army to forcibly cross the Yangtze River. When he mistakenly thought that Yang Qi had made a stupid move and was ecstatic to swing his army across the river, he was already doomed to suffer a great defeat today, and the whole army was annihilated.
As for Yang Qi's praise, Sun Jian seemed much calmer, and after thanking him with his fists, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "General Yang praised it falsely, Sun Mou just happened to be a coincidence, the first merit of this battle." It's right to push General Yang Qi! It is precisely because of Yang Qi's battle of wits and courage with the rebels these days, not allowing the rebels to take advantage of the slightest, that there is today's big victory! As for the second gong, it belongs to Lord Xu. If it weren't for the elite of Danyang under the command of Lord Xu, I am afraid that the rebels would still have the heart of stubborn resistance...... "The Lord Xu in his mouth refers to Danyang Taishou Xu Kun, a veteran who has been fighting horses all his life and has a lot of experience in leading troops.
"Hahaha. Wentai's words are wrong! When Xu Kun heard Sun Jian's words, he stroked his gray beard and waved his hand again and again. As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by chance, and Yuan Han happened to crash into the hands of Wentai, which is really providential. It seems that it is the Heavenly Sect Wentai who has achieved this battle today! In this way, Wentai cannot shirk and live up to the will of heaven. Saying that, the veteran couldn't help laughing, after all, Yuan Han's death was really a little wronged, he was killed by a single person, and Sun Jian, who originally planned to support Cheng Pu and his Red Army, was cut down as an ordinary soldier, and he didn't even have a common name before he died. Xu Kun has been leading the army for many years, but it is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing.
Sun Jian obviously also heard the ridicule in Xu Kun's words, and waved his hand again and again, "Lord Xu is serious, Sun is just the right time, if this alone will make Sun take the first credit, where are the heroes of the Guangling Army who have fought bloodily and died generously in the past few days?" ”
Xu Kun pondered after hearing this, in fact, to be honest, the reason why he wanted to recommend Sun Jian was nothing more than because he was optimistic about this tiger in Fuchun County, but it was undeniable that Sun Jian's words were very correct. If he, Sun Jian, only took the lead because he killed a Yuan Han, what would the soldiers of the Guangling Army think of this matter? You must know that these days are fighting with the rebels, but the soldiers of the Guangling Army!
The generals summed it up, and in the end Xu Kun returned the first merit to Yang Qi, and more than 3,000 soldiers of Yang Qi and the first army of Guangling, regardless of survival or sacrifice, led the honor of the first merit of this battle, and the Danyang soldiers under Xu Kun accounted for the second merit, after all, the Danyang soldiers were the ones who really made the rebels lose their fighting spirit, as for the third merit, Yang Qi and Xu Kun both recognized Sun Jian, after all, Sun Jian beheaded Yuan Han, which caused the fighting spirit of the rebel left army to waver, which can also be said to be indispensable.
After summing it up, Yang Qi waved his hand, summoned Sima to join the army, and added the merits to the merit book one by one, and after completely repelling the rebels in the future, he presented the merit book to Zang Min, and the old man Zang was rewarded according to his merits. Also, after all, although the Guangling First Army has achieved brilliant results with the support of the Danyang soldiers, almost completely annihilating the rebel Gongyu with nearly 10,000 soldiers, killing more than 4,000 people, and dropping more than 5,000 people, which can be called remarkable, but Yinqiao's Guangling Second Army and Tianqiao's Guangling Third Army, the situation of the two friendly armies is not very optimistic, and the defense line is precarious under the fierce offensive of the rebels.
Of course, it will be tomorrow to go to the second place to support, as for today, whether it is Yang Qi, the general of the Guangling Army, or Xu Kun, the Taishou of Danyang, or Sun Jian, they all feel that it is necessary to spare a night of time to reward the whole army, after all, these days, the soldiers of the First Army of Guangling are fighting very hard, if they support the other two friendly armies immediately after victory, not to mention that the soldiers are physically unbearable, I am afraid that even morale will have some negative impact.
"Come, order your subordinates, and reward the whole army!" Yang Qi waved his hand and gave the order to reward the whole army. Then, he ordered the guards on the left and right to prepare wine and food, and entertained Xu Kun, Sun Jian and the generals of the Danyang Army in the tent.
Because it was a reward banquet after a victory, the generals who drank in the general account of the army were very high.
Except for Chen Qi.
After staring at Sun Jian silently for a while, this guy suddenly excused himself with an injury and was inconvenient to drink. And he left the table.
Originally, Chen Qi, a small general, left the table, and there was a legitimate reason, so naturally it would not attract attention, but there was another person in the seat who saw it, and that was Cheng Pu.
As the deputy leader of the Red Silk Army, Sun Jian's confidant and favorite general, although Cheng Pu is a rebel, he is naturally qualified to attend the banquet of the army general account, as for some of the little guys who once worked together to force the fierce general Yuan Han to a dead end. Naturally, he was not so lucky.
Thinking of this, Cheng Pu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, until he saw Chen Qi leave the table with a calm face, and his heart became more and more unpleasant.
But he had no choice, after all, it was indeed Sun Jian who killed Yuan Han, not any of Zhang Huang's little ghosts. You must know that the merit book in the army has always counted the process and only the result, whoever killed Yuan Han is meritorious, is it difficult to fill in a few sentences Who has injured Yuan Han, who has forced Yuan Han to a dead end? If it were written. I'm afraid that after a battle, just recording military exploits is enough to exhaust the people who joined the army Sima to death.
The only compensation that Cheng Pu could think of was to recommend Zhang Huang and others to Sun Jian, after all, Sun Jian was a rare hero in his heart. If Zhang Huang and others are willing to take refuge, they will not be wronged by their talents. In all fairness, Cheng Pu is still quite optimistic about Zhang Huang and others, because he has never seen anyone who has mastered the spear through the spiral in the initial stage. forced Yuan Han's and other fierce generals who were proficient in rigid bodies to a dead end.
Perhaps with a concern in his heart, Cheng Pu felt that today's celebration wine did not seem to be as delicious as before. After thinking about it for a while, he excused himself to go to the toilet. Left the army ledger. He wanted to take a look at Zhang Huang's boys and see if today's events had dealt a blow to these little ghosts.
Not to mention that Cheng Pusi was thinking about Zhang Huang and others, and said that Chen Qi had left the military general account, in fact, the place he wanted to go to was nothing more than Zhang Huang's twenty-six military accounts. Although there are not many people who know what happened during the day, Chen Qi is just one of the people who knows what happened, so this upright and discerning Guangling army general is not willing to stay in the same tent with Sun Jian to drink, even if he knows that Sun Jian did not deliberately rob Zhang Huang and others of their exploits.
As Chen Qi and Cheng Pu guessed, Yuan Han's incident did cause a lot of blows to Zhang Huang and these little guys. Thinking about it, in order to snipe Yuan Han to avenge Lu Min, Zhang Huang and others planned for a long time, and on the battlefield, they were also fighting with Yuan Han with their lives, which can be called using all their resources to force Yuan Han to a dead end, but the result was good, Sun Jian suddenly rushed out and grabbed the credit that should belong to them, I am afraid that anyone will feel the atmosphere.
However, in fact, when Dubo Wang Zhuo and Han Hu each carried two pots of wine to comfort these frustrated imps, they were surprised to see that Zhang Huang's group of six people had already started eating in the house, as if nothing had happened.
"You ......" Wang Zhuo really couldn't accept the scene he saw with his eyes, because in his mind, if he was robbed of such a huge credit, there was a chance that he would be depressed for a while, and the tea and rice would not be fragrant, but these heartless little ghosts were good, others thought that they were sulking in the house, but who would have thought that these people were eating and drinking.
"Yo, Wang Tou, Han Tou!"
Li Tong, who had a large piece of cured meat in his mouth, greeted him vaguely. The black-feathered crows beside them warmly beckoned the two Dubs to take their seats.
Han Hu carefully looked at each of the black feather crow imps present, until he found that the smiles on their faces were sincere, and he sighed depressedly: It took him a lot of effort to think of a comforting word, it's really not worth it!
However, Wang Zhuo still couldn't accept this scene, and mentioned it vaguely after sitting down.
In this regard, Zhang Huang smiled and said, "Wang Tou, you also underestimate a few of our brothers, it's just the credit of a general, if you lose it, you lose it, what's the big deal?" This time, we can almost force Yuan Han to death, and we can naturally do it next time. As he spoke, he changed his tone and said with a little depression, "At that time, we just saw the boiled duck flying...... It's just a little depressing. ”
"Not really!" Li Tong sighed and said regretfully, "It's just a little worse, then the fuck ......it's a little worse."
Han Hu smiled when he heard this, reached out and pressed Li Tong's head and rubbed it vigorously, seemingly mocking but comfortingly said, "It's good to know!" If there is a next time, you guys really have to give Lao Tzu some profits! A few of you guys are fighting hotly here, don't you know that Lao Tzu's side was almost overturned by the rebels several times? If this happens again next time, Lao Tzu will carry a gun and slaughter the enemy general! ”
Knowing that Han Hu was not malicious, the black feather crows laughed a few times, it was hard to imagine that these two groups of people who had been arguing in Chen Qi's tent two days ago could eat and drink in the same room so harmoniously today, and it seemed that the atmosphere was quite good.
Everyone was drinking wine and laughing, and suddenly the door of the house creaked open, and then, Chen Qi stepped into the house, and saw that the atmosphere of fighting wine in the house was so hot, this Chen Pi general was really stunned for a moment.
"Yo, General Chen is here too?"
"General Chen, have a drink?" The people in the house invited Chen Qi one after another.
Chen Qi, who was thinking of comforting these little ghosts, looked at the happy people in the room in astonishment, and suddenly grinned. I have to say that once the guy with a straight face all day is really smiling, it is really a bit infiltrating.
Following Wang Zhuo, Han Hu, and Chen Qi, the Dubor and Uncle Elders under Chen Qi also found this place one after another, and even ordinary soldiers later came to join the circle of wine, which made this small room extremely crowded, but the happy atmosphere in the house became more and more hot.
There is no doubt that at this moment, Zhang Huang and the others have truly integrated into Chen Qi's subordinate department, and have become a non-commissioned officer of the Guangling Army, unlike before, just bearing the name of the Guangling military sergeant, but in fact, the communication is still only a small circle of people.
After that, Cheng Pu also came here, and like Wang Zhuo, Han Hu, and Chen Qi, all the comforting words he spent a lot of effort to come up with became useless. And unlike others, Cheng Puduo asked.
"Aren't you jealous?"
"Jealousy?" Zhang Huang, who was half-drunk, shook the wine cup in his hand, and his expression was slightly unpredictable.
Maybe Zhang Huang was laughing at himself, after all, if he hadn't used the Taoist technique because he didn't have scruples at that time, Yuan Han would have died in their hands a long time ago, where would it be Sun Jian's turn to pick up people's heads.
"Maybe it's been a bit of luck lately...... Come on, anyway, this battle is not over yet, and we have a chance to make meritorious contributions! As for Yuan Han, it should be regarded as the bundle paid to Uncle Cheng to teach us the spear penetration technique! Uncle Cheng, we don't owe you anything! Blinking at Cheng Pu, Zhang Huang raised the wine cup and saluted.
[That's the head of a rebel general, how can it be compared to some bundles?] ]
Cheng Pu smiled bitterly and shook his head, it can be seen that Zhang Huang and the others are so free, and he originally planned to recommend Zhang Huang and others to Sun Jian as compensation, but he can't say anything.
However, although Zhang Huang boasted at this time that this battle was not yet over, and their Black Feather Crow would definitely be able to establish amazing military achievements, he ignored the strength of the Danyang soldiers. I'm afraid few people could have imagined that the powerful Danyang soldiers almost overwhelmingly drove back the rebels in the subsequent battlefield, defeated the rebels in the two battles of Yinqiao and Tianqiao, and directly drove the rebels' forces back to the south of the Yangtze River again.
And Zhang Huang and others, no, it should be said that the entire Guangling Army has changed from the protagonist to a supporting role in this war without anyone noticing. The Guangling Army, which followed the Danyang soldiers all the way to the triumphant march, almost became the logistics force of the former, and this difference in status before and after, as well as some words of some ambitious Danyang soldiers, made the relationship between the Guangling Army and the Danyang soldiers, which should have been close allies, gradually deteriorate.
Finally, the three Guangling armies converged, and together with the Danyang soldiers, the rebels were driven to Ren Wujuntun, which originally belonged to the Guangling army, and prepared to start a final decisive battle with the defender here, the commander of the rebel army, Shen Xing.
It seems that the balance of victory has completely tilted in favor of Guangling County? (To be continued......)
