The Seventh Night: Night Attack on Dongguan (5)

By the time Sima Fuqiang, Huang Zhi and others recovered one after another, the sky of the power dream had already brightened. I have to say that the D effect of Li Sha's skill "recovery" is very helpful to the wounded, at this time, except for Zhang Wei, who is still lying on the ground and can't move, everyone else has returned to normal state, according to Xiaofeng, it will not be a problem to fight again.

Seeing that his good brother had regained his senses, Huang Zhi used to quip, "Aren't you fierce?" How can you lie down at this time? The waning moon's hammer is strong enough, right? As a person who has "died" once, he only hopes that Zhang Wei will not be so desperate when he fights in the future.

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, "If you don't fight, you can't do it." Each of your combat skills is C-rank, but I am stuck in the B-rank and can't go up again, and after another week or two, I will be a drag. I really can't think of a better way but to try to find a breakthrough in extreme combat. ”

Huang Zhi was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that his brother was desperate for this, if it was really because of this reason, he really couldn't persuade him. Since the first time they came into contact with the high-end combat power of the dream world in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, the people in the dream have felt the huge pressure and are eager to make themselves stronger.

Even if you don't always meet S-rank top generals like Huang Zhong, the dream people of other teams are also growing, and sooner or later, the East China Sea team will have to face those S-rank dream people. The other teammates are all fine, and the skill ranks are steadily rising faster or slower, except for Zhang Wei, who has the highest starting point, is stuck there. After entering the dream world for five weeks, even his exclusive skill "Claw" has reached the C rank, but the B-rank "Fighting" that comes with him can't go up, so it's no wonder he works so hard.

At this time, the battle situation in Weidongguan has completely ended, although Wanyue and Xiao Qi are not very good at military affairs, but earlier I saw Wu Qiang and Zhao Meng's full of spirit, and I also knew that the town guard team had won the final victory. It's just that at that time, because the captain and Huang Zhi hadn't rested well, they blocked all the cadres of the town guard and asked them to deal with the aftermath on their own, and then report to Sima Fuqiang later.

At this moment, seeing that the two people in charge of the East China Sea Team had already rested, the heralds of the town guard who had been waiting nearby immediately rushed to inform Wu Qiang and Zhao Meng. A moment later, the chief and deputy commanders of the town guard came to the resting place of the East China Sea team.

Seeing the arrival of these two, Sima Fuqiang immediately asked them to report the results of the battle that he was most concerned about, "How many people have we lost?" How many rebels annihilated? How many escaped? ”

Wu Qiang had already done his homework, and immediately reported a series of figures, "Our army has 21 killed, 9 disabled, and 17 seriously injured, and the casualty ratio is less than 10%. If the seriously injured had been treated in a timely manner, the actual losses would have been even less. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Lisha, who was still asleep. As far as he knew, the dream man's goddess doctor's current medical skills had even reached the point where he could reconnect the severed limbs, and his medical skills had basically caught up with the old divine doctor in the town's medical hall. As long as she can make a move, the disabled members of the town guard can be restored to a healthy state, and at once she can save twenty-six qualified soldiers who have undergone a baptism of blood and fire. And these soldiers will definitely be able to advance to the elite village warriors and even grassroots officers in a short period of time.

Sima Fuqiang glanced at Li Sha and then at Huang Zhi, and did not express any opinion on this, just quietly waited for Wu Qiang to continue to report.

Seeing that the person in charge of Donghai Town was noncommittal about his words, Wu Qiang was also used to it, anyway, the town guard would naturally give an explanation to the wounded. He then reported, "Together with the results of your battles, we have annihilated a total of 471 rebels in Wei County, including 11 middle and high-ranking officers. ”

The so-called middle and senior officers are naturally officers above the rank of lieutenant, and after deducting the rebel general and the six lieutenants killed by the dream man himself, the town guard has actually achieved the result of eliminating four officers, which is not easy. Sima Fuqiang couldn't help but nodded, satisfied with Wu Qiang and Zhao Meng's work.

Encouraged by Lord Zhenshou, Wu Qiang was immediately enthusiastic, believing that the data behind him would make him more satisfied. "Six hundred and thirty-nine rebel soldiers were captured, of whom one hundred and forty-six were wounded. Three rebel officers were captured and two surrendered. According to the surrendered rebel officers, the garrison at Weidongguan had a total of 1,245 soldiers and 18 officers. So, the number of enemy soldiers who fled was one hundred and thirty-five, and two officers. ”

"What is the identity of the surrendered officer?" As soon as he heard that there were still officers who took the initiative to surrender, Huang Zhi couldn't help but want to care.

Obviously, Zhao Meng was more aware of this matter, so the person who answered was him, "Lord Qiqi, one of these two people is a quartermaster, and he looks like a greedy fat man." The other was a lieutenant who was said to have been depressed in the rebels of Wei County, so he wanted to join the Donghai Town Guard for better development. ”

As for the way of employing people, Sima Fuqiang is not good at it, so he turned his head to look at Huang Zhi, hoping that he would make a decision in this regard.

Huang Zhi nodded at the captain and thought for a moment before answering, "First separate the two rebel officers who surrendered from the other three, and then we will evaluate them later." I think the priority should now be given to the arrangement of prisoners, otherwise one is not well controlled, and we may end up in the gutter. ”

"Please rest assured that all the captives' weapons have been confiscated and managed in a unified manner." Wu Qiang is obviously not the kind of person who is reckless.

Sima Fuqiang nodded again when he heard this, "The rebel soldiers are easier to deal with, according to the historical practice, these people are willing to join our merit-based recruitment, and those who are not willing to continue to serve as soldiers are scattered and distributed to various townships and villages, which can be regarded as increasing the labor force." As for the handling of officers, I also agree with the opinion of the soldiers, and we must be cautious, and we must not allow people with different intentions to blend into our town guards. ”

Wu Qiang kept it in mind while agreeing, after the great victory of the Battle of Weidongguan, he admired the three stinkers of the dream man so much, and the various arrangements they made, regardless of whether they can be understood now or not, are all in accordance with the holy decree. When I come to say that my realm has improved, and then I look back and think about these questions that I can't understand now, I think I will have more experiences and make myself go further.

In his opinion, the reason why such a bold and crazy battle plan can succeed is not just because of the martial arts of the person in his dreams, but the result of the profound accumulation of all aspects. For example, the eight-bull crossbow with an astonishing range, such as the stepping arrow that is more convenient than climbing the ladder, all of which require a wealth of knowledge and experience. Another example is the selection of the timing of the night attack and the prediction of the reaction of the rebels after extinguishing the torches, which all involve the way of using troops and a comprehensive understanding of people's hearts and surnames.

After this battle, Wu Qiang had a strong premonition that Donghai Town might embark on the road of outward expansion in the near future, and if he couldn't grow up as soon as possible before that, he would only face the fate of being eliminated. If the town guard wants to develop, it must train or absorb more middle and high-ranking officers, and Wu Qiang's own strength determines his future prospects.

Perhaps the lieutenant who surrendered to the rebels was a potential competitor, but even then, he could only secure his position through a fair and honest competition with a good surname. He believed that the eyes of the person in the dream were bright, and it was impossible to fool the Lord of the Town and Lord Shixin by using inferior intrigue to eliminate dissidents.

Sima Fuqiang didn't know what Wu Qiang was thinking, and continued to arrange, "The preliminary reorganization work will be done by you, until the population of the East China Sea Territory prospers, we will only accept elite forces to join at present. At the same time, you must be careful that no matter how strong these elites are, they must be retrained and disciplined, and they must not be allowed to bring the ruffians and banditry of the rebels into the town guards. ”

After Sima Fuqiang explained all kinds of matters, he and Huang Zhi went to the city tower of Weidongguan, and from there condescendingly took a good look at the situation in the pass.

At this time, the townsmen of the town guard were still in the euphoria after the victory, some were caring for the wounded, some were guarding the prisoners, and the rest began to rest in turn under the arrangement of the officers. And Zhao Meng is arranging several village warriors to assist the dream man to move Zhang Wei, who is still half a life, and Li Sha, who is still in a coma, into the bedroom of the rebel general to continue to rest. Wu Qiang set up a table on the school yard in the gate and began to carry out a preliminary classification of the rebel prisoners.

Everything was in order, except for the crisp sound of horses' hooves that suddenly came from the direction of Dongwei Pass.

I remember that there were only a few foot soldiers in poor health left behind at Dongwei Pass, and the rest of the people and horses all came to the side of Weidong Pass. Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang glanced at each other, seeing the same doubts in each other's eyes, and the two immediately ran from the window on the inner side of the city tower to the other side, poking their heads out to look in the direction of Dongwei Pass.

I saw that in the middle of the open area between the two passes, a woman in white clothes was riding a white horse, and when she saw the two of them appear on the city tower, she actually raised her head and smiled at them.

"It turned out to be Dong'er......" The two were speechless.

No longer in the mood to continue to pay attention to the situation in the Guannei, Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang went down to the city tower to welcome Dong'er's arrival, mainly to see what this woman who had always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing had anything to tell this time. I hope she doesn't bring an edict that limits the capture of the city of Weixian within two months, it will really cost people's lives.

The two walked off the road, and Dong'er was already waiting there first, and he was really holding an apricot yellow cloth roll in his hand, which was obviously an edict.

Seeing that these two key figures were present, Dong'er did not hesitate to open the edict and began to read it, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said." I am glad to hear that the Donghai team captured Weidongguan more than a month ahead of schedule, and took the lead in breaking through the rebel defenses among the heroes from all walks of life, breaking more than 1,000 enemies and killing the enemy chieftains, and the following commendations are hereby given. ”

Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi listened carefully to the series of comments in the edict, and what they were most concerned about was whether the reward given by the imperial court included the "night tent" that could free them from the shackles of night in Donghai Town. If they heard correctly, the first four sentences of the edict are the elements of the promotion evaluation of this task, which means that the evaluation of the Dongzhou Imperial Court for their battle should be A, but I don't know if this result is enough for them to get the treasure they want.

The edict is by no means more than that, Dong'er is still reading it.

"Because the Donghai team successfully conquered Weidongguan and broke through the regional boundaries, the team level was upgraded to the C rank."

"The Donghai Town Guard fought bravely and skillfully in the Battle of Weidongguan, and cooperated with the Donghai Brigade for meritorious service, and allowed it to erect a banner into an army, and gave it the name of the Eastern Navy."

"Grant General Ning Yuan of Donghai Town Shoufu Sima Fuqiang Zheng Wupin, and all the relevant officials under him will be promoted."

"Give the East China Sea Team a 'night tent', and Wanger and others will continue to work hard in the future to exterminate the rebels. Chin this! ”

These messages really caught the two people who listened to the edict a little unprepared, except that the promotion of official ranks could be thought of in advance, and the acquisition of the "Night Tent" was also what they expected, and the other two were too shocking.

The first is to allow the East China Sea to form an army, which is not just a matter of changing the name, but to upgrade the town guard from a paramilitary organization to a regular army, and its function will be changed from the original local defense force to an offensive force that can conquer the four sides, and then it can take the initiative to conquer Wei County.

In addition, after the establishment of the East China Navy, the scale of the navy can also be expanded according to the capacity of local finances. Although Donghai Town could not afford to supply so many troops at this time, if one day they could afford to raise more townsmen but did not gain the right to erect banners into an army, then the state capital would have to intervene.

In Sima Fuqiang's view, this point undoubtedly puts a legal cloak on the expansion of the East China Sea, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. After the formation of the Eastern Navy, although his official rank was not high, he had really become a member of one party at this time, just like the eighteen princes of the Three Kingdoms period, on the surface he was a courtier of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, he was a native emperor of one side.

Moreover, the Dongzhou forces are completely an overhead world, and there is no established history to restrict everyone's play, which is the big stage for people in their dreams to really display their means and show their talents.

Another point that attracted their attention was the promotion of the rank of the Tokai team, and again, this is not a question of whether the name is loud or not, but about the actual interests of the Tokai team. At the beginning, they unified Donghai Town and promoted from the E-rank to the D-rank, and the biggest benefit they gained was that the stay time in the Dongzhou forces changed from one day to one week. And what about this time?

Regarding this question, the two made up their minds to test it tonight, anyway, with the "night tent" in hand, they don't have to worry about being punished by the dream world at all. The only thing they are curious about now is how long their stay can be extended, whether it will be a month. If there is really a month's stay time, then according to Sima Fuqiang's regional surname time flow theory, the East China Sea team will take advantage of it next, and must take advantage of the good opportunity when other teams have not yet been promoted to the C rank, actively accumulate strength, and expand their advantages.

As for why they were so sure that the Donghai team was already ahead of the other Dongzhou Nine teams, in fact, there was a sentence in the edict read by Dong'er just now, "Take the lead in breaking through the rebel defenses among the heroes from all walks of life", which is the best hint. The so-called "heroes from all walks of life" refers to nothing more than the Dongzhou Nine Team, and their "first breakthrough" means that among all the teams that have received similar tasks in the near future, the Donghai team is the first to complete it.

In contrast, they had already regarded the "Night Tent" as something in their pockets, and they would not have been more excited at the moment because of the confirmation of this result. As for the promotion of official positions, there is no benefit for the time being, but according to Huang Zhi's opinion, official positions represent fame and status, and they should be related to the incognito factors such as the influence and appeal of the people in the dreams of the Dongzhou forces.

Sima Fuqiang thought deeply of Huang Zhi's opinion, combined with the situation in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, the famous princes from all walks of life had more appeal to the general public. There are only a few "people of insight" who have a different vision of the lord they choose to serve, and this is not considered.

Therefore, he still opened the "Donghai Town Chronicles" with kindness, adjusted the official positions and ranks of each teammate accordingly, and even made up for the three elders who did not obtain official positions because of insufficient positions at the beginning.

At this time, the last page of the "Tokai Town Chronicles" reads:

Sima Fuqiang, the county commander of Donghai Town, is under the five products, and is awarded General Ning Yuan.

Huang Zhi, Donghai Town County Cheng, Zheng Liupin, awarded the court Lang.

Zhang Wei, the county lieutenant of Donghai Town, is the sixth product, and was awarded the captain of Zhaowu.

Li Sha, the governor of Donghai Town, from the sixth product, awarded the general council.

Huang Ying, the master of Donghai Town, from the six products, awarded through the straight lang.

Xiaofeng, Wanyue, Wuyang, military attache of Donghai Town, Zheng Qipin, awarded the captain of the fruit.

Wu Qiang, the military attache of Donghai Town, from the seventh grade, was awarded the rank of lieutenant of Yilu.

Zhao Meng, the military attache of Donghai Town, was awarded the imperial insult lieutenant from the eighth grade.

Shui Xuan, a civil official of Donghai Town, is the eighth product, and is awarded to Shilang.

Mu Qing, a civil official of Donghai Town, from the eighth grade, awarded Fenglang.

Zhu Yan, a civil official of Donghai Town, is a nine-pin, and is awarded Ru Linlang.

Jin Xin, a civil official of Donghai Town, from Jiupin, awarded Wen Linlang.

Tuwu, a civil official of Donghai Town, from the ninth product, awarded the general Shilang.

The only thing that makes Sima Fuqiang more dissatisfied is that his administrative position is still a county order, but fortunately he still has a military position, and Wu Qiang's people either call him a general, or they call him "adult" in general, so they have never let Xiaofeng and others know their county order title.

Just when the two thought that the matter was over, Dong'er was unwilling to be lonely and threw another bombshell, which made the good mood of the two disappear.

"Make sure that Weidong Pass does not fall into the hands of the rebels within a week, because in a week, Li Wei will come with a large army from the state capital. They need to take advantage of Weidongguan and enter Weixian to conquer the rebels. ”

Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang, Dong'er was obviously very happy, and actually reached out to pat the faces of the two, "Don't worry, this is not a holy decree, but it is said in passing." No matter how fast the rebels move, it is impossible to organize a counteroffensive within a week, so you just don't give up the defensive forces of Weidongguan within a week. ”

At this time, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and they were helpless about Dong'er's scaring way of speaking, who made her the mysterious "Imperial Court Herald".

Looking at Dong'er, who was smiling and smiling, Huang Zhi hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask, "I've always been curious, how can it take more than three days to come from Donghai Town, and we just controlled Weidongguan before dawn, why did you bring the imperial edict after so many hours?" You shouldn't have been following us all the time, and there are multiple versions of the edict itself, so you can choose the right one to read according to the situation, right? ”

"Ah, you're getting smarter!" Dong'er pretended to be surprised and shouted, "I just set off after you, and you didn't say hello to me when you left, so I almost didn't catch up with you!" Hmph, I knew that I would pick a book of war to punish the losers and read it, and it would be good to scare and scare you, hehe! ”

Regarding Dong'er's answer, Huang Zhi faintly felt that this was not true, anyway, it was impossible for Dong'er to tell the truth, and his question was simply asked in vain. There are too many secrets in the dream world waiting for him and Sima Fuqiang to uncover.

(To be continued)
