Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 23 Withdraw the Army, Break Off!
The next morning, the entire medical staff was busy, and there was no fighting today. Sure enough, the generals of the Eastern Army and the Anton Army already knew the news that another 40,000 Yu troops were coming to help. What is the situation of the entire Chinese army's big tent, Wang Rong doesn't care, he hasn't reached that level.
The busyness of the medical and health capital attracted Zhang Pu's attention, and she was very surprised by the busyness of the medical and health capital. Seeing that they had concentrated the wounded soldiers, and that the horses, mules, and mules were well fed, he found Wang Rong with a puzzled face.
"What are you doctors and guards going to do? Why are you so busy, you want to pull out the camp? ”
In the face of Zhang Pu's question, Wang Rong did not hide it: "Even if it is not a camp, we must be prepared." Forty thousand reinforcements had already arrived, and as soon as they arrived, no less than 300,000 troops had gathered in the entire valley city. In order to be able to ensure that we can be invincible, our battalion must be moved. Now that we are ready, we will be able to transfer the wounded soldiers in time and not drag the army back. ”
Zhang Pu said in surprise: "Yu is such a small country, there are still reinforcements. They're going to throw all the power of the whole country against us. ”
Wang Rong replied: "Hehe, although the country of Yu is very small, it is located in the Central Plains, with a vast arable land area and dense population, even if it is pulling up 200,000 people, I don't think it is unusual." ”
Zhang Pu looked at Wang Rong, feeling that this person really couldn't see through, if you want to say that he knows a lot, there are some basic common sense, he doesn't know at all. If you want to say that he understands little, when it comes to the general trend of the world, what he can say is the Tao, and it can be convincing.
"Then do you think that my Dayong will be able to gain anything from going east this time?"
Zhang Pu's question was impossible for Wang Rong to answer, he hadn't seen all of the world, and now he only knew about the Seven Kingdoms of Shenzhou, and he didn't know anything about anything outside of Shenzhou.
Wang Rong looked at Zhang Pu and said to her, "You have to take care of your body, I'm busy." ”
The work of the doctors and guards in the wounded barracks was progressing rapidly, and by the evening the entire camp had already extinguished the torches. If you don't extinguish it, you can't do it, the situation is so critical, do you turn on the lights at night and wait to be set on fire by the enemy?
Wang Rong didn't sleep that night, and he had palpitations in his heart for no reason. Unable to sleep, Wang Rong got up and walked out of the tent. "Sledgehammer! Wake up and let's go! Wang Rong asked the sledgehammer to wake up the guards, and came to the wall with a group of people.
When Pei Siwu was woken up by the guards, he looked at Wang Rong in front of him and was very surprised.
"Zhong Ming, why are you here?"
"Let's see if you're faithful to your duties, and ask for a little favor." Wang Rong said in a low voice.
"How can you help?" Pei Siwu said in a low voice, this Wang Rong, every time he asks him to help, it is a big trouble.
"I want to go out of the camp and scout the surroundings." Wang Rong's words directly startled Pei Siwu.
"You're going to break military law and seek death." Wang Rong's words made Pei Siwu feel direct, a hundred times better than the cold ice in winter.
And at this moment, a glimmer of light flashed in the trees in the distance. Wang Rong directly threw Pei Siwu to the ground and said, "Captain! I don't think I'll be able to know where the enemy is without going out. ”
Before Wang Rong's words fell, a rain of arrows fell on the wall. And the sledgehammer directly grabbed a shield and blocked the two of them. Immediately afterward, several fireballs were thrown from a distance, drawing several bright lines in the thick ink of the night.
"A stone thrower? Wei Hua, this guy, is generous. Wang Rong dragged Pei Siwu and ran under the wall.
And the barracks sounded the sound of war drums, and the whole camp began to move. The extremely strict military law of the Yongjun army did not have a way to make the soldiers calm down at this time.
Wang Rong separated from Pei Siwu and ran back to the camp of the wounded soldiers, at this time the wounded soldiers in the camp were in chaos, and the wounded and sick sat up from the cart one after another, they knew that this was an enemy attack on the camp. And in the chaotic camp, they are a group of helpless people, and no one cares whether they live or die. Their comrades-in-arms were busy saving themselves and finding organizations at this time, and their superiors and generals were busy stabilizing the morale of the army, no one paid attention to them, they could only save themselves.
"Doctors and guards, get up!" Sledgehammer and Iron Tower were big and loud, and their voices were like bells, waking up the people in the five tents.
"Li Sujie! Old wolf! Organize the first team and the second team, and the first team control the wounded barracks and do a good job of grooming. The second team will set up the car immediately! The guards followed me and held down the entire battalion of wounded soldiers. Move fast! Wang Rong kept giving orders all the time, and ordered the task to go down.
"Whoa!" Li Sujie was already in full armor at this time, holding a spear, and said in a loud voice.
"Yes, Uncle!" The old wolf had a thick spine ring knife in his hand and hurried to gather his subordinates.
Soon the two teams of doctors and guards entered the camp of the wounded soldiers, and while calming the emotions of the wounded soldiers, they put the horses and mules on the carts. Soon the wounded barracks changed to a state of pulling out the camp, and Zhang Pu followed closely beside Wang Rong, chattering non-stop.
Wang Rong really couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly: "You be quiet, why do you talk so much at this tense moment?" ”
Zhang Pu said aggrievedly: "I want to talk more when I'm nervous. ”
Wang Rong said helplessly: "You have succeeded in making me nervous first." ”
The entire camp of the Anton Army is actually in chaos, and many people are scurrying around like headless flies. The fire and blood began to spread in the camp, and Wang Rong came directly to the west gate with the wounded barracks, and lined up in several columns next to the avenue in front of the west gate. The first and second teams of forty soldiers were divided into two columns, armed with spears and shields, and the guards personally guarded the rear of the convoy to prevent the rebels from attacking the rear of the convoy.
The orders of the Chinese army's big tent soon reached everywhere, and the chaos in the camp was gradually quelled. "Uncle! This is the general's own soldier who came to the wounded barracks to give orders. The tower came to Wang Rong with a soldier.
Zhang Pu looked at the soldier and asked, "Uncle Wei asked you to pass the order?" Go ahead! ”
The non-commissioned officer was not ambiguous at all, and directly conveyed the order of the Chinese army: "Order the wounded battalion to be quickly reorganized, prepare to pull out the battalion, and at the same time take over the new wounded." ”
Zhang Pu took the order handed over by his own soldiers, and after recognizing the seal, Zhang Pu accepted the order. The entire battalion of wounded soldiers began to return to the camp, and it was a violation of military law to stand on the avenue and block the street, and this was no longer a critical moment.
Wang Rong's doctors and guards were all at the head and quickly brought the wounded soldiers into the camp. But he did not let the battalion of wounded soldiers unload, the order was clearly written, ready to pull out the battalion. This is about to retreat, and there must be an order from the side of Xuyan. This time, the Yongjun army went east to say that there was no result, but it just captured an Yique Pass.
The two large camps of Zhengdong and Andong were disturbed all night, and the two armies did not stop pulling out the camp all night. More than 10,000 cavalry soldiers are divided into two parts, one part is responsible for the west, one part is responsible for the east, that is, the head and tail of the marching team, the west is responsible for scouting and exploring, and the east is responsible for preventing the sneak attack of the cavalry in front of the Yuguo Palace.
The number of Wei Hua's army has been proven, not 40,000, but 20,000, but they are all relatively elite foot soldiers, and some simple catapults, after harassing the camp for a night, they retreated to Gucheng. When Wei Hua harassed the camp, Gucheng and the troops of the Yujun Palace outside the city were not idle, and launched an attack on the two camps in a timely manner, once invading the camp and inflicting great casualties on the Yong army.
There were already more than 3,000 wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, and dozens of board cars were modified overnight to line up at the end of the ranks as the rear guard of the whole team. Wang Rong walked on the road, some of the cavalry horses, four feet high, four feet five inches long Guanzhong horses, powerful and powerful, riding on the cavalry looking forward to self-authority. It's a pity that Wang Rong is now a foot pawn, and he has neither the qualifications nor the ability to raise a horse.
"What? Zhong Ming, envy these horsemen? Li Sujie saw the envy in Wang Rong's eyes and teased.
"Yes, if we can have a war horse, the mobility and combat effectiveness of our medical and health capital will be able to increase a lot." Wang Rong nodded and generously admitted.
"Then you are mistaken, the hooves of this war horse are extremely fragile, and if it were not for the emergency, these horsemen would have to ride on pack horses or mules, and the ordnance or anything would not be placed on the horses. In my hometown, our Li clan is known for being good at raising horses, and the cost of training one cavalry is enough to top five infantrymen. And on the horse, we can only use our legs to clamp the horse's belly, and we can't use long-pole weapons. ”
Li Sujie's words made Wang Rong can't help but look carefully, sure enough, not only is there no stirrup, there is no horseshoe on the horse's hooves, and even the saddle is not a high-bridge saddle, but a flat-headed saddle. With this kind of harness, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry can be imagined, no wonder the cavalry fought so fiercely.
Wang Rong thought about it and gave up the idea of transforming the medical guards into cavalry now, just one word, money. The cavalry is too expensive, and the doctors and guards of a wounded battalion are all cavalry, what is this for? To do so is to be hated.
Just when Wang Rong and Li Sujie were chatting, the road behind them began to be noisy. "The Yu army is riding here! Get ready for battle! The herald hurried over and gave the order.
"Su Jie, let the convoy move on, and the doctors and guards are all gathered! Column hollow array! Wang Rong stopped and took off the bear-patterned crossbow and shield from the board cart on the side: "Guard, crossbow shield array!" ”
"Whoa!"
The first team and the second team quickly formed a hollow array, and the guards were holding crossbows and shields, standing in the formation, and Li Sujie, Lao Wolf, Lao Dog, Meng Song, Wu Xinghan, and Shao Hongxuan were walking in the formation to command.
More than 10,000 cavalry after the break soon exchanged hands with the Yu army chariot cavalry, Wang Rong looked far away, did not see the figure of the Yu army's foot soldiers, and his heart was relieved, if there were only cavalry pawns, it would not be able to stop the army from retreating.
And more than 10,000 Yongjun cavalry against more than 20,000 enemy cavalry, the battle situation is extremely cruel, blood is splashed, the war horse screams, a famous cavalry fell off the horse, and was trampled into meat by the horse's hooves before he could even escape.
