Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Vice-Captain

Qin Zhen was silent in his heart, the original cavalry team could be said to have suffered heavy losses, not only more than half of the casualties, but also Li Wenbin was killed in battle.

The cavalry team led by Li Wenbin, as the only well-trained cavalry force under Wang Sheng, took on the most difficult task in this blockade and charge, and it was a hard-fought battle with 50 people to attack the strength of more than 100 people of the party army.

In comparison, the loss of the third echelon where Qin Zhen is located is much smaller, in fact, normally, the third echelon should not have such a big loss, because the first echelon and the second echelon have gnawed down the hard bones, and the third echelon can just eat meat after them, but the third echelon is made up of the original infantry temporarily, and they go directly to the field without training, and they are not familiar with the combat methods of the cavalry, and they do not cooperate with each other, but they just follow Meng Xuan to kill the enemy by instinct, although there is Meng Xuan, a fierce man, However, there is still a big gap between the overall combat effectiveness and the first and second echelons.

Xue Yuan and Ma Xuan came over and reported: "A total of thirty-two people rushed out from our side, basically there are no serious injuries, and it is estimated that none of the seriously injured have rushed out, and now there are seventeen people who can get on the horse to fight, and the remaining fifteen people are all civilians before they are captured, and they have not received any training, it is okay to ride on horses and run away, and don't count on the war for the time being." ”

Qin Zhen thought for a moment and said: "Although we have suffered heavy losses in this raid, Tuoba Yewang's losses are not smaller than ours, with his current losses, and the sky is about to get dark, it is impossible for him to take the risk to advance further, the most likely thing is that he will camp nearby and send someone to report to Tuoba Yewang, waiting for Tuoba Yewang's army, so we are temporarily safe tonight, the most important thing is to see when Tuoba Yewang will meet Tuoba Yewang tomorrow." ”

Meng Xuan said: "Now we are sandwiched between Tuoba and Tuoba Yewang, so we have to find a way to transfer tonight, it is best to skip Tuoba Jue and take advantage of the night to move to the top of Beishan, and tomorrow we can use the terrain advantage to delay the speed of Tuoba Yewang's army as much as possible." ”

Qin Zhen nodded and looked at Wen Han: "You are familiar with this area, but are there any other paths that can cross Tuoba Jue and quietly go up the mountain?" ”

Wen Han said: "The lower part of the middle of the North Mountain here is relatively gentle, and there are many places to go up, but there are many places where you need to lead the horse on foot, what should I do if I am seriously injured?" ”

Qin Zhen said: "A total of twelve seriously wounded, let the troops cut some branches and rattans, make stretchers, carry the seriously wounded together and transfer them, and wait for the troops who have crossed Tuoba Jue, those who have combat effectiveness will stay, and let those who have no combat effectiveness take care of the wounded, and transfer to Weizhou City overnight." ”

Qin Zhen continued to arrange: "Now our team has suffered relatively large losses, and the composition is more complicated, in order to facilitate command, the army will be temporarily compressed into a team, I am the team leader, Meng Xuan is the deputy team leader, Han Cheng is the first chief, commanding the original cavalry team, Wen Han is the second chief, commanding the original cavalry squad, Xue Yuan is the third chief, commanding seventeen capable fighters who escaped from the party army; The remaining fifteen people were used as auxiliaries and arranged by the commander of Asagawa U. ”

After Qin Zhen finished arranging, he keenly felt that Han Cheng was a little strange, although the sky had already darkened, Qin Zhen couldn't see Han Cheng's expression clearly, but Qin Zhen could probably guess what Han Cheng thought.

The three chiefs of the team and the deputy team, plus the auxiliary troops arranged by the commander of Chaochuan Wu, now the six nominal leaders, only Han Cheng and Wen Han are from Weizhou Zhichong Mansion, and they are only two chiefs, and the rest are all Han slaves who escaped from the party with Qin Zhen, no matter how you look at Qin Zhen, there is a suspicion of cronyism.

Now the three waves of people gathered together, the original cavalry team led by Han Cheng is a well-deserved main force, with the strongest combat effectiveness, since Qin Zhen is the successor of Wang Shengxuan and is responsible for leading them, this Han Cheng also recognizes, but the deputy team should be he Han Cheng, even if Wen Han is asked to be the deputy team leader, he Han Cheng also recognizes it, but why let this Meng Xuan be the deputy team leader, he Han Cheng is not convinced.

Because the enemy of the party item is temporarily put together, and they don't know each other, so Qin Zhen understands that Han Cheng has such an idea, from a different angle, put Qin Zheng in Han Cheng's position, he will also have the same idea, but understanding is understanding, he can't let this idea spread, he needs to dispel those doubtful voices.

So what Qin Zhen has to do now is to establish his prestige and quickly establish his prestige, so that he can make the soldiers obey the order in the next battle.

"Whoever has an opinion on this arrangement, you can put it forward now, and I can explain it to you when I have time; If you don't have an opinion, the whole team will listen to my orders, if I'm not there, I'll listen to Meng Xuan's orders, and if you don't listen to orders, military law will be done! Qin Zhen's tone was tough.

"I have an opinion!" Sure enough, it was Han Cheng who spoke up.

"Say!"

"The captain is injured, you take the place of the commander, this is the arrangement of the captain, although I am not convinced, but I have no opinion; But I have an opinion on the candidate for the deputy team, the original team in our Weizhou Army is Wen Han and Zhao Feihu are all there, although Li team is sacrificed, but I am still the deputy team of cavalry, which of us is not qualified to be the deputy team leader? Why is Meng Xuan the deputy team leader? ”

Qin Zhen said: "Well, this is a reason, who else has an opinion?" ”

With Han Cheng taking the lead, Han Cheng's cavalry also strongly expressed their opinions, they all felt that Han Cheng was the best candidate for the deputy team, and if Han Cheng was the deputy team leader, they would all obey.

Qin Zhen nodded: "I know all your opinions, now let me tell you my opinions, originally Wen Han, Han Cheng, Zhao Feihu is not a problem to be a deputy team, you have all been the team leader and deputy team leader for so many years, and now you are not a deputy team leader?" But since Meng Xuan is here, then the position of the deputy team is his, because he is more suitable than everyone present, as long as he enters the battle, not only do you ask to listen to him, but even I have to listen to him. ”

Han Cheng was shocked, he didn't expect Qin Zhen to respect Meng Xuan so much, could it be that Meng Xuan really had any outstanding skills? The most incredible thing for Han Cheng was that Wen Han and Zhao Feihu didn't seem to have the slightest opinion on Qin Zhen's arrangement; Wen Han is just that, that is a personal essence, you can never guess what he is thinking in his heart; But Zhao Feihu's acquiescence made Han Cheng smell a trace of abnormality, you must know that Zhao Feihu has a short temper and can't hide things in his heart, and no one is convinced in Weizhou Zhichong Mansion, since he has no opinion, it shows that he agrees with this arrangement in his heart.

Han Cheng guessed correctly, Zhao Feihu was very convinced of Meng Xuan as a deputy team, Zhao Feihu was different from Wen Han, he didn't see what military talent Meng Xuan had at all; He was completely subdued by Meng Xuan, in the barracks, Meng Xuan put down Li Wenbin with one move, and both of them killed the party scouts neatly, until later Meng Xuan led the troops to charge, these Zhao Feihu saw it in his eyes, although Zhao Feihu was straight-eyed, but he was not stupid, he knew very well that Meng Xuan's skills were much higher than himself.

In Weizhou Zhichong Mansion, there are not many people who can surpass Zhao Feihu in terms of skills, which also makes him proud all the time, but until he meets Meng Xuan, he abuses him to the point where he is most proud, which makes him have a deep sense of frustration; But Zhao Feihu is the kind of typical rough military thinking, as long as you are better than me, I will obey you.

Therefore, Meng Xuan is much more important than Qin Zhen in Zhao Feihu's heart, in Zhao Feihu's cognition, Meng Xuan is Qu Cai when he is a deputy team, if it is not for Wang Sheng's designation of Qin Zhen as the commander-in-chief, he thinks that Meng Xuan should be the team; Meng Xuan is the deputy team leader, so isn't it justified to be a big soldier, if he is the deputy team leader, then Meng Xuan is not going to be a captain? What is the captain Wang Sheng doing? Don't you have to be a lieutenant? So where did Guo Duwei go? Zhao Feihu felt that his brain hurt, so he had better be a big soldier with peace of mind.

Qin Zhen didn't know what Zhao Feihu was thinking, he continued: "Our soldiers are very simple, if we want to convince people, there are only two things, either we have outstanding military talents and can lead everyone to win the battle; Either you have good skills and bravely win the three armies; What is Meng Xuan's military talent, the time is too short, you can't see it, and it doesn't count if I Qin Zhen said it alone; So now look at Meng Xuan's skills, if you are not convinced, you can come out and challenge him now, don't say defeat him, if you can insist on three moves in his hands, I will take back his vice-team. ”

Han Cheng said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll learn and learn!" ”

Zhao Feihu gloated with a gloating face, and secretly said to Wen Han next to him: "Haha, this kid Han Cheng is going to suffer!" ”

Wen Han glanced at Zhao Feihu: "I see that you usually have a good relationship with Han Cheng, why don't you remind him at this time?" ”

Zhao Feihu said as a matter of course: "Hmph, this kid is always showing off his power in front of me when he is a cavalryman, I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick, remind him what he is doing, it is important to watch the play, it is important to watch the play, and let him see what it means to have someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." ”

Meng Xuan looked at Han Cheng and said: "If you insist on three moves in my hands, you are taking advantage of you, in this way, I will let you have one hand, as long as you can insist on three moves, I will let you be the deputy team leader." ”

Hearing Meng Xuan say this, Han Cheng was furious, Qin Zhen's insistence on three moves had already made him very unhappy, but this Meng Xuan was even more excessive, and he actually wanted to defeat him in three moves with one hand, which was too contemptuous.

Han Cheng sneered: "Okay, then let me see how you defeated me in three moves with one hand." ”

After speaking, he pounced on Meng Xuan.

Meng Xuan took half a step back, waiting for Han Cheng to pounce, and when the two were about to collide together, Meng Xuan suddenly shook, and the whole person crashed into Han Cheng's arms, and then, the two separated.

Han Cheng stood there in a daze, and his mouth was bitter: "I lost!" ”
