Chapter 41: Qin Ming's Troops
Huang Xin fled for more than ten miles in one go, and seeing that Luda did not chase him, he reined in his horse and gathered the rout.
Of the 500 soldiers and horses, less than 30 were killed, but more than 200 lost their armor.
Huang Xin naturally knew where those armors had gone.
Unexpectedly, the thieves in Peach Blossom Mountain actually used the strategy of the Liangshan thieves.
The Jeju Forbidden Army suffered two defeats, and Huang An asked for punishment and returned to Beijing for his crimes.
The strategy of the Liangshan thieves also spread throughout Shandong, and most of the generals did not feel that Huang An was incompetent, but that the Liangshan thieves were too cunning.
The situation of the forbidden army in each state capital is similar, and there are few soldiers and horses who can go into battle.
They would rather the thieves take the ruffians away, so that they can recruit new soldiers to train into an army.
It is undoubtedly much easier to train new soldiers than to train those ruffians, but the thieves and thieves have put those soldiers back, and they can't punish these forbidden soldiers at will.
In addition to the empty salaries of the generals, there are many soldiers of the forbidden army who are people in the city, and they only join the army to receive food and salary.
Although these people are not powerful, they are intricate in the local area, and they are not easy to punish casually.
If these people are not punished, it will be difficult to deter others, and there will be no way to talk about military training.
And these ruffians were released once, and the next time they fight, who is willing to fight hard.
Fortunately, the new Qingzhou prefect has enough power to make those places bow their heads, and it is not hopeless to rectify the soldiers and horses.
Huang Xinxin thought that the Qingzhou forbidden army was unreliable, and he did not delay, so he returned to Qingzhou with his troops overnight.
Entering the city, Huang Xin went straight to find his master Qin Ming.
Qin Ming heard Huang Xin talk about the battle, nodded and said: "The Qingzhou Forbidden Army is indeed overwhelmed, but this is the first battle we have fought in Qingzhou, how can we give up." When I show the ancestor, I will lead the troops to exterminate the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits, and it will not be too late to come back to rectify the soldiers and horses. β
Huang Xin was also very confident in Qin Ming's martial arts, and said, "If the chief manager can take the thief's head, the Peach Blossom Mountain thief will not be worried. β
At that moment, Qin Ming took Huang Xin to see the prefect Murong Yanda.
When Murong Yanda saw Huang Xin come back, he asked about the results.
Huang Xin didn't say that he was defeated by thieves, but only that the Qingzhou Forbidden Army was greedy for life and afraid of death, and they all fled as soon as they entered the battle, so they couldn't take the thieves.
When Murong Yanda heard this, he said with some panic: "In this way, if the thieves come to attack the city, won't those forbidden troops all flee?" β
Qin Ming said: "Ancestor rest assured, those red-headed people are only five or seven hundred people gathered in the roar, and they will definitely not be able to capture the city." But if they continue to make trouble, sooner or later they will harass the city. Therefore, it is better to rectify the soldiers and horses as soon as possible and exterminate those red heads. β
Murong Yanda was already extremely remorseful in his heart, he only thought that Qingzhou was a fat poor, how could he have thought that there was such a danger, he had already known that this was the case, so he changed to other state capitals as officials.
"Then the general will start to straighten out the troops and horses, without delay, if there is any obstacle, you only care about the military law, and I will be the master of everything."
Qin Ming heard Murong Yanda say this, and said happily: "With the ancestor in charge, the end will inevitably make the Qingzhou Forbidden Army become a warrior who dares to fight." However, this Peach Blossom Mountain thief robbed the village, and he couldn't let them sit down. The last general was willing to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to destroy them. β
"The Qingzhou Forbidden Army is overwhelmed, why don't you wait a while and go again?"
Murong Yanda was not worried about Qin Ming, but he was afraid that Qin Ming would lose something, and the thieves would take the opportunity to attack the city.
Qin Ming said with a smile: "The thieves in Peach Blossom Mountain are nothing more than a rabble, as long as they take the head of the thief, those thieves will flee for their lives." I am also about to use the conquest of Peach Blossom Mountain to rectify the soldiers and horses, if there is anyone who dares to escape from the battle, it is just to make an example. β
Murong Yanda nodded and said, "I see, before the general goes on the expedition, I will reward the three armies and also strengthen the general." β
Qin Ming did not refuse, and immediately went to command the division to order two hundred horse troops and eight hundred infantry troops.
Murong Yanda also asked people to arrange wine and meat, and prepared to reward the three armies.
Early the next morning, Qin Ming arranged the army and horses, went out of the city to get all the troops, and led the army to set off with a big book on the red flag, "The Soldiers and Horses are in charge of Qin's control", and led the troops to set off.
The prefect of Murong had already brought the officials in the city to spread the wine and meat outside the city, and when he saw Qin Ming coming out of the city in full clothes, he was extremely heroic. But see:
The red tassels on the helmet are fluttering with flames, the brocade robe is stained with blood, and the chain mail is built with Venus. Yungen boots are smeared green, and turtle back armor is stacked with silver. Sitting down the horse is like a pig, the mace is densely embedded with copper nails, and when angry, the eyes are wide open. Sex is like a thunderbolt, and the tiger will be Qin Ming.
At that moment, Qin Ming came out of the city, and saw that the prefect of Murong was already outside the city, so he hurriedly asked the military man to take the mace and dismount to meet the prefect.
After giving the gift, the prefect handed Qin Ming a glass of wine and instructed the general channel to say some words: "It is convenient to look at it, and play a triumphant song in the morning." β
The reward army has been stopped, put up the letter cannon, Qin Ming resigned from the prefect, flew on the horse, set up the team, urged the army, made a bold move, and rushed to Peach Blossom Mountain.
As soon as the soldiers and horses approached Peach Blossom Mountain, the little minions on the road reported to the mountain again.
In the battle the day before yesterday, the soldiers and horses of Taohuashan easily repelled the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou.
Zhou Tong was also much bolder in his belly, got up and said: "Brother is resting in the cottage, and brother is going to retire from the army." β
Luda said: "Don't take the enemy lightly, the day before yesterday, Huang Xin was just defeated, and this time he came again, presumably the one who led the troops was a good one." I'll go down the mountain with you to see. β
Zhou Tong also felt justified when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Then ask my brother to sweep the battle for me." β
The two of them ordered their minions to go down the mountain, and as soon as they set up their formation, Qin Ming also led the soldiers and horses to kill.
Zhou Tong came out with a gun and shouted: "The day before yesterday, I let that big turban run away, who will beg for death today." β
Qin Ming didn't take the Peach Blossom Mountain thieves to heart, he came here more for training, seeing Zhou Tong come out to call for battle, he immediately said to a military attache beside him: "You go and catch this thief, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose." β
"Order."
The military attache who was ordered did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only sigh that he was unlucky, and responded to the call and beat the horse to get Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong originally had some martial arts, and he often accompanied Luda to practice in the past few months, and his martial arts have also grown a lot.
After catching this general, he fought for twenty or thirty times, and then he had the upper hand.
The military general supported a few more times, afraid that he would lose his life if he fought again, so he struggled to force Zhou Tong away, and ran to the main formation after beating his horse.
As soon as he arrived at the battle, he saw Qin Ming ushering in, and was about to ask for sin, so Qin Ming might as well raise his hand and fall on the top.
The general turned over and died under his horse.
Qin Ming's stick hit both sides of the team dumbfounded.
"Those who do not obey the orders and escape from the battle will not be spared."
Qin Ming shouted violently and pointed to another military attache to fight.
The military attache who was ordered saw that Qin Ming was murderous, how dare he delay, and killed Zhou Tong on horseback.
When the Qingzhou soldiers saw that Qin Ming even dared to kill the commander, they all put away their thoughts of fleeing when they saw that the situation was not good.
"This guy is not afraid of things."
Seeing Qin Ming so fierce, Luda also knew that an opponent was coming.
Before the battle, Zhou Tong was not afraid of the formation, and held a gun to meet the military attachΓ©, and fought in one place.
