Chapter 2039 Naming
There was chaos on the river. There are loyal soldiers who jump into the river like headless flies, looking for the trace of Meng Heilong, and there are also soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, who are rowing bamboo rafts and boats to escape, and the collisions between the boats are continuous, and people who fall into the water abound.
Taking advantage of this chaos, the special combat team members have quietly stayed away from this place.
……
This was the most brilliant result since the army of Minzhong County entered Lingnan. Of the 17,000 South Vietnamese troops, less than 1,000 eventually fled back to the other side. The most powerful iron cavalry in South Vietnam was completely annihilated. In addition, the heaviest blow to the Lingnan Baiyue forces was that Meng Heilong was actually captured by the Qin army!
Li Zuoche suggested that Chen Sheng should take advantage of the victory to pursue, take advantage of the current emptiness of Longchuan City, capture Longchuan City in one fell swoop, and completely attack the enemy's seven inches. Chen Sheng, who was under the big victory, was also a little fluttering in his mind, and his heart was also a little impatient. He knew what it meant to capture Longchuan City. But the information sent back by the Black Water Pavilion cleared Chen Sheng's feverish mind a lot.
Although the defenders in Longchuan City are not more than 10,000, Haifeng has 30,000 troops in his hands who are making a rapid detour, Meng Qingshan also has 20,000 troops unscathed, and the most important thing is that the defenders in Panyu City are also ready to move, ready to support the front line at any time, with a total of 80,000. Longchuan City is simple, easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is really a dangerous place for soldiers, rather than costing the lives of soldiers, it is better not to attack, wait and see what happens. Attract more Lingnan troops to move to the periphery to reduce the burden on the main army. Moreover, after a hard battle, the soldiers were exhausted and their combat effectiveness was seriously reduced, and if the war broke out again, the casualties would inevitably be heavy.
Thinking of this, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and told Li Zuoche his thoughts.
Li Zuoche listened to Chen Sheng's analysis and thought so. has such an amazing restraint against Chen Sheng, and he admires it even more. He knew very well that the Qin army crossed the river at this moment and captured Longchuan City, whether it could be defended in the end or not, it was a miracle, and the emperor knew that the reward was indispensable. But at this time, in order to reduce the bloodshed of the soldiers, Chen Sheng gave up such a military feat, which is extremely rare.
Of course, Li Zuoche has nothing to complain about this. Such a boss is more worthy of him to follow. He also knew that according to Chen Sheng's development, the new generation of military gods of the empire was none other than Chen Sheng. And Chen Sheng's ability is more than that. Under his rule, Minzhong County was well organized. A backward and barbaric region that had just been incorporated into the empire's territory, and its development momentum was stronger than that of some wealthy counties in the Central Plains, which was enough for Chen Sheng to accumulate enough political capital. Coupled with Lingnan's outstanding military exploits, there is no doubt that Chen Sheng will inevitably be among the ranks of the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court in the future. Even from Chen Sheng's operation of Minzhong County and his victory in Lingnan, Li Zuoche even thought about a problem that I am afraid Chen Sheng did not expect. If Chen Sheng had been operating in the Lingnan region for several years, he would have the strength to resist the central court and establish himself as the king. Build a dynasty. At that time, he will be the founder of the country. This kind of great achievement is not something that everyone can share.
In order to confront Longchuan City on the other bank, Chen Sheng ordered to add time to the original camp and expand it to build an earthen city that could accommodate tens of thousands of troops. Although the earthen city is simple, the city walls are made of burnt adobe piled up with high and thick thieves, with a height of three zhang and a width of two zhang, which can meet the enemy's siege head-on.
Chen Sheng named this city Kai Kai Xuan City. The successive victories of the Fujian army in the south created such a city, so the word triumph, this city is well deserved. In addition, Chen Sheng also officially named the various armies under his command. Chen Sheng's most proud special operations unit was named the "Black Fox Battalion", taking the essence of the Qin State and the cunning and agility of the fox. The special combat team members were very satisfied with this name and shouted heroic martial arts. In addition, the cavalry who have repeatedly performed miraculous feats was named the "Tiger Brigade" by Chen Sheng, and stipulated that the formation of 1,000 people, the selection of knights is stricter than before, and those who cannot pass in the training confrontation will be eliminated and new knights will be selected from the alternates.
The two of them had outstanding military exploits, and Chen Sheng divided the infantry army into three tuns, and the Tengjia infantry army was named the "Blood Lion Army", which was handed over to the dragon to lead, and the establishment was expanded to 5,000 people. These three named armies are the most powerful main forces in Chen Sheng's hands. Chen Sheng arranged his own henchmen to lead him, and he didn't dare to hand it over to outsiders.
Li Zuoche was very puzzled, because there were still tens of thousands of army formations, and they had not been named. Li Zuoche expressed concern that the soldiers would have opinions that would affect morale.
Chen Sheng smiled faintly and said, "If every army has a name, then the name becomes worthless. It is necessary to make some people jealous and envious, so as to better stimulate morale and fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”
Li Zuoche's ideological work was easy to do, but the ideological work of ordinary soldiers was somewhat difficult, and many generals came to his door to evaluate it. Chen Sheng was not ambiguous, and immediately asked all the troops to go out of the camp and line up, and he explained clearly on the spot.
"I heard that you have some opinions about the Black Fox Battalion, the Tiger Brigade, and the Blood Lion Army." Chen Sheng got straight to the point, stood on the high platform, and said to the soldiers in the audience. "Do you think that after entering Lingnan, you also fought, killed the enemy, and made meritorious contributions, why didn't you get the name?" Chen Sheng smiled: "Let's talk about the Black Fox Camp first." Chen Sheng's tone suddenly increased a lot, and he said: "I remember, it was the camp that attacked Luo Weihu, and we entered the first big battle in Lingnan. The Black Fox battalion attacked the pontoon bridge and indirectly wiped out a third of the combat strength of the most elite cavalry in South Vietnam. It was also because of their battles that the tens of thousands of troops in Longchuan City could not cross the river, laying the most solid foundation for our victory; Fight again, capture the enemy chief Meng Heilong, such a record, the general named it the black fox, soldiers, do you have any opinions? ”
"Nope!" There was a thunderous roar from the audience. The achievements of the Black Fox Battalion are obvious to all, and the training and selection of the Black Fox Battalion are countless times more difficult than other soldiers. In the Black Fox Battalion, the number of soldiers who died of exhaustion during training was far greater than the number of casualties in the war. But there are still countless soldiers who want to break it and want to squeeze into it, and the treatment of the Black Fox Battalion is dozens of times better than that of other ordinary soldiers. Every time the Black Fox Battalion operates, once it succeeds, the reward given by Chen Sheng is extremely rich.
