readx;? Chapter 1224 Introspection

Burying the shells in the ground and then placing the ignited gunpowder twists in the bamboo pipes is the most primitive landmine. For www.biquge.info the whimsy of the people of Ningnan, Shangguan Xiu also has to admire the whimsy of the people of Ningnan.

The First Army of the Fifth Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and its three subordinate corps, the most elite of which was the Second Corps, was wiped out, and the other two Corps also suffered casualties of varying degrees.

When the three army commanders Wen Zhong, Yan Ji, and Xiao Zheng walked into the Chinese military tent, the camp tent suddenly became quiet, and the military attachés and staff officers of the regiment stopped their work one after another, and looked at the three of them with wide eyes.

Wen Zhong, Yan Ji, and Xiao Zheng all intervened in Shangguanxiu and Cai Huang to salute, and said: The last general will see His Highness, see the general!

Cai Huang asked bluntly: Wen Zhong, are you guilty?

Wen Zhong's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground with a pop, choked up and said: The last general will be guilty!

Cai Huang looked at Wen Zhong's eyes, and almost burst into flames. He slapped the handsome case suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: Wen Zhong, you have been in the army for many years, don't you understand the rules of military orders?

He had already given him an order that he could only make a tentative attack on the second line of defense in Ningnan, and if Wen Zhong only sent three battalions, it would be fine, and as a result, he sent the entire corps, which directly led to the annihilation of the entire second corps.

Wen Zhong said in a trembling voice: General, the last general thought that he could capture the artillery positions of the Ningnan people, so he ...... That's why ......

So you can disobey the general's orders? You can make your own decisions? You can push 10,000 soldiers into the fire pit? The more Cai Huang spoke, the more angry he became, and he shouted: Come on, drag Wen Zhong out, and the military law will deal with it!

General, General...... Wen Zhong's face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed forward again and again.

But it didn't work, the order had been given, and the pro-soldiers outside didn't care about those, and the four pro-soldiers who walked in from the outside set up Wen Zhong and dragged him out.

Yan Ji and Xiao Zheng's bodies were shocked, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. Although they did not disobey the general's order, and the soldiers under their command did not suffer any casualties, after all, the two of them and Wen Zhong were both military commanders, and Wen Zhong was dealt with by military law, and they both had a feeling of death and coldness.

The two of them knelt on their knees, bowed forward, and said: For the sake of General Wen's loyalty, please bypass him this time!

Shi Xi and Guan Ying also walked up to Cai Huang and said: Killing the general in battle is a taboo in the army, general, or ...... Or bypass General Wen's capital crime for the time being, and let him wear the crime and make meritorious service!

The two deputy corps commanders and the two army commanders all interceded for Wen Zhong, and the military attaches and strategists present also knelt on the ground one after another, and said in unison: Please spare General Wen's capital crime!

Cai Huang looked around at everyone, his lips opened slightly, and he said word by word: Military orders are like mountains, they remain unchanged for eternity, dare to disobey, and be dealt with by military law! If anyone intercedes for Wen Zhong again, they will be punished for the same crime!

In a word, the pleading words of everyone present were blocked. Wen Zhong finally saw now that Cai Huang wanted to kill him, not to show Shangguan Xiu, but to kill him.

He turned to Shangguan Xiu and begged for mercy: Your Highness, for the sake of Wechen's sincere feelings for the country, please spare Your Highness's life, Wechen is not afraid of death, even if Wechen is allowed to charge into battle and die in front of the two armies, Wechen is also willing, I just ask Your Highness not to let Wechen be executed by military law......

Before he finished speaking, Cai Huang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he glared angrily at the four pro-soldiers who were standing in place and did not move, and shouted: What are you waiting for? Drag him out and behead him!

The four pro-soldiers were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay any longer, and dragged Wen Zhong to continue walking outside the camp tent.

Cai Huang wants to deal with Wen Zhong's military law, this is a military affair within the Fifth Army, Shangguan Xiu didn't want to interfere, and Wen Zhong was born in the rebel army, so he didn't have any feelings for Wen Zhong, but Wen Zhong's words later made him feel it.

Before leaving, they all wrote a suicide note, with the determination to sacrifice their lives for the country, to die in front of the two armies, it is the glory of the soldiers, and to die under military law, it is undoubtedly a great shame for the soldiers and even the entire family.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Cai Huang and said, "General Cai......

He only started talking, and Cai Huang immediately answered: Your Highness, if the military discipline is not strict, how can you govern the army?

Cai Huang's words were not merciless at all, if Shangguan Xiu interceded for Wen Zhong again, it would show that he would not be able to govern the army. Shangguan Xiu blinked, his lips moved, and then he glanced at Cai Huang meaningfully, and did not speak again.

At this time, the four pro-soldiers had already dragged Wen Zhong out of the Zhongjun tent, and before they could burn half of the incense, one of the pro-soldiers presented Wen Zhong's bloody head.

This is the commander of the first army, the chief general of the three corps, was cut off like this, and everyone in the Chinese army tent felt that their scalps were numb, and the hairs on their bodies stood up.

After the tent was dispersed, Shangguan Xiu and Cai Huang inspected their own positions. The two walked in front, and a large number of gendarmes and personal soldiers followed far behind.

Cai Huang said as he walked: Please forgive your highness!

Oh, what is General Cai's crime?

First, hesitation, and second, improper employment. Cai Huang said his two sins, but he didn't mention his crime of confronting Guan Xiu.

This is right Shangguan Xiu's temper, in dealing with military affairs, no one is absolutely right, and no one is absolutely wrong, if you think your approach is reasonable, just say it calmly, so that he has nothing to say. He won't secretly annoy the other party for not showing mercy to him.

Cai Huang said quietly: Hesitating, since he has realized that the people of Ningnan are deceitful, Weichen should decisively order that all three armies withdraw from the enemy's defense line, and should not leave the first army as a feint to test it.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu smiled and smiled bitterly. Who can predict the prophet and accurately calculate every disposition of the enemy army in advance?

To tell the truth, Cai Huang can realize that the Ningnan army is cheating, which is already very good, and his intuition as a commander is already very keen, at least he has minimized his own losses, if Wen Zhong did not disobey the general's order in the end.

The scale between the boss realizing that it is not good, whether to continue to pursue the victory and not give the enemy a chance to breathe, or to stay where he is and wait and see what happens, or to retreat decisively and give up all the fruits of victory, is too difficult to grasp, and no one knows which choice is the most correct to make until the last moment.

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer, waiting for Cai Huang to continue.

Cai Huang continued: Improper use of people is also the fault of Weichen. Most of the generals of the Fifth Army Corps came from the rebels, and in their concept, military orders are far inferior to those of generals who are not subject to military orders abroad, are scattered, and self-righteous.

Unexpectedly, Cai Huang saw it so thoroughly, Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: Therefore, General Cai insisted on killing Wen Zhong, and I did not forcibly stop it, and the benefits of killing far outweighed the disadvantages of not killing.

Cai Huang said: Although this battle was lost, the military discipline of the Fifth Army will be stricter in the future, and the order will be like a mountain, and no one will dare to disobey in the future.

Shangguan Xiudao: There is another benefit, at least our army has found out the deployment of the Ningnan people, and then we will go deep into the defense line of the Ningnan army in the future, and our army can clearly detect whether there are bombs planted in advance.

Being able to find out the deployment of the Ningnan Army, in Shangguanxiu's view, the loss of a corps is also acceptable.

His Royal Highness did not blame Weichen, Weichen was grateful. Cai Huang bowed his hand and said.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said meaningfully: As the commander of the corps, you participated in the national war for the first time, and I was actually quite worried about the Fifth Legion, but after this battle, I can finally rest assured about the Fifth Legion.

His words, for Cai Huang, are undoubtedly a great affirmation and encouragement, Cai Huang looked alarmed, and once again bowed to Shangguan Xiu.

Cai Huang's growth is very fast beyond Shangguan Xiu's expectations, I don't know if his talent is so, or his foundation is too good, people like Cai Huang, whether they are placed in the court, the army, or the shopping mall, are rare talents.

Every time he sees Cai Huang, Shangguan Xiu always has a sigh in his heart, giving birth to a child should be like this, and there are no regrets in life.

In terms of age, Cai Huang is several years older than Shangguan Xiu, but due to the power struggle in the court, Shangguan Xiu regards Cai Xiao as an equal, so Cai Huang naturally becomes a junior in his eyes.

The Fifth Army's offensive on the southern front was frustrated, and the Fourth Army's offensive on the northern front was quite smooth, mainly because the Fifth Army Corps started the battle first, and the Fourth Army Corps started the battle later. It can be said that the offensive of the Fourth Army was stopped at the point, and the scale of the battle between the two sides was not large.

Through this tentative offensive of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army Corps, the Feng Army basically gave up the idea of launching an immediate counterattack against the Ningnan Army here on the Masala Front, and the two armies once again entered a period of protracted confrontation.

In the following month, the fighting tended to be calm, and no large-scale offensives were organized on either side, but the deployment of troops of the Ningnan Army on the Massala front had obviously increased, which can be judged by the amount of cooking smoke rising from the Ningnan army's front.

During this period, Shangguan Xiu received good news from Shangjing, and Tang Ling successfully gave birth to a son, named Tang Jing. The meaning of Jing is more profound than quiet, that is, it has the meaning of peace and quiet, and it also has the meaning of peace.

It can be said that Tang Jing is a child who really stands on the shoulders of giants, and as soon as he was born, he was canonized as the crown prince. For the birth of the crown prince, the royal family can have a successor, and the soldiers of the Feng Army on the front line are also rejoicing, and their morale is soaring.

On this day, at noon, Shangguan Xiu went to the front line to inspect. The location he inspected was the central front of Massala, which was the place where the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army had the largest number of troops, and the battle lines on both sides were extremely close to each other, and the forward trenches were everywhere only twenty or thirty meters apart.

Shangguan Xiu's side was only followed by Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei.

Xiao Jue's injuries have completely healed, and now he has turned back into the same vigorous man he used to be. The three of them were wearing ordinary Wind Army uniforms and standard helmets, and they were mixed in the crowd of the Wind Army, and they couldn't tell that he was the prince and general of the Wind Country.

Due to the long armistice and confrontation, the battle lines were too close, and the soldiers on both sides knew the people on the other side, to be precise, the voices of the people on the other side, and they could call each other by name just by listening to the other party's voice.

When Shangguan Xiu and the three of them arrived at the forward trenches, they were just in time for the sudden shelling of the artillery of the Feng Army, and there were only two guns, one shot each.

Boom Boom Boom

Two explosions were heard in the front line of the Ningnan Army. It didn't take long for me to hear dissatisfied shouts and curses from the trench opposite: Damn, what kind of wind are you smoking?

A squad leader on the side of the Wind Army shouted: Guo Er!

What for?

Is there any snuff box from last time?

There are two more, what's wrong?

Change?

How many tobacco leaves do you have?

Two by two.

!

Half a catty.

That's changed.

Soon, in the trenches on both sides, a Feng soldier and a Ningnan soldier climbed out, and the two did not dare to stand up and walk forward, so they could only crawl forward on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei frowned, and just as they were about to speak, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, signaling that the two of them did not have to interfere. In the confrontation war, this kind of barter before the army is nothing new, and the soldiers on both sides, in addition to their different positions, have no deep hatred, and normal barter transactions can be turned a blind eye.
