Chapter 55 Falling out
There is a kind of tree that cannot grow straight unless it is repaired, and there is a kind of person that cannot be repaired. It doesn’t matter which tree it is, what matters is that Zhang Liang is that kind of person.
They fought hard until dusk. Although they did not capture Songfeng Ridge, they withstood the attacks from both sides and stabilized the front line at the same state as at the beginning of the war.
Zhi lost Si Li, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan, Han Wei, and Qin Huaiyu returned to the commander's account one after another to report the battle situation and losses of their troops. However, Zhang Liang and Zhang Shenwei's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, because their losses were the heaviest.
.
When Hou Jun gathered to consult for tomorrow's battle, Zhang Liang was the first to jump out. The Tibetan army had received 30,000 reinforcements. After two days of losses, they still had at least 70,000 troops.
What is even more unacceptable is that they are on the defensive and occupy the dangerous Songfeng Ridge. According to the most conservative one to three calculations between the offensive and defensive sides, attacking tomorrow is not the best choice for the Tang Army.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I know what you want to say!"
"Three to one? Where do you want me to find an army of 210,000 for you? How many people will be needed for the battle of Dingxiang!"
Did Zhang Liang learn arithmetic from Li Ji in Wagang Village? The Tang Army never cared about how many opponents there were in a battle. It always used less to defeat more, and the weak to defeat the strong. This was the spirit of the Tang Army.
Zhang Liang couldn't bear the loss of a foster son who could be replaced at any time? Did he give up?
Okay, since he is too timid and cannot be the brave man, then I have to find a brave man for them.
After glancing at the generals in the tent, Hou Junji solemnly said: "General Du Jing of Youyi Mansion!"
Du Jing came out of work and clasped her fists: "The end will be here!"
Hou Junji, who was pressing the sand table, ignored Qiao Gui's sullen look and said seriously: "I will make up for your losses. With three thousand of your troops, can you dare to be the vanguard and serve our army with strength and strength?"
Kaisongfengling!"
Du Jing was naturally happy to see Hou Junji change his mind. He also knew that although Zhang Liang's character was not very good, he was not as incompetent as Hou Junji said.
Indeed, one Shang Ming is already troublesome enough. Now not only have 30,000 reinforcements been added, but there is also a Tubo lecture - Shang Nang is personally in charge. It will be strange if his front teeth are not broken.
But Shang Ming killed Dugu Ancheng and was his enemy, so Du Jing had to take Songfengling even if they both died together, let alone whether the battle was successful or not.
Seeing Du Jing's hasty response, Qiao Gui immediately reminded him: "Qianfan, don't be impulsive. This battle is not as simple as you think."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Hou Junji, clasped his fists and said, "Commander, since the situation has changed and opinions are not unanimous, we should take a long-term approach."
But Hou Junji's performance almost made Qiao Gui's nose become angry, as if he didn't hear anything, he just stared at Du Jing and asked without any emotion, if he dared to be a striker.
But Du Jing also replied categorically: "In the past, when we were at Chishuiyuan, the general and Qibi had only three hundred cavalry beside them, so they regarded Tuyuhun's 170,000-strong army as nothing."
"Now I have generals and three thousand soldiers under my command, all of whom are tigers and wolves, so why be afraid!"
Good! After patting the sand table hard, Hou Junji praised: "This is what I want to hear. Listen and cheer me up. This is the gray whale of our Tang Army!"
After Zhang Liang's mouth was blocked, Hou Junji, who was angry, began to arrange tomorrow's combat missions arbitrarily. Moreover, the purpose of the combat was to capture Songfengling and kill at least a quarter of the enemy.
Army.
Zhang Liang and Qiao Gui didn't understand where Hou Junji had such great confidence. What made them even more confused was that the three generals Niu Jinda, Zhi Huan Si Li and Liu Lan actually listened so seriously and seemed to take it for granted.

When the accounts were dismissed, only Hou Junji and Niu Jinda were left in the handsome tent. Qiao Gui couldn't bear it any longer: "Brother Junji, the day hasn't even started yet. You just forgot about your promise to me?"<
/p>
Of course, Hou Junji knew that he had broken his promise, but he could not be blamed. The situation on the battlefield had changed, forcing him to break his promise to his old friend. Zhang Liang's troops were exhausted, and he needed a brave general to lead the attack and inspire the whole army.
morale.
Hey, what he said is right to the point. General Xiao took the lead in the charge. To put it bluntly, he hit the enemy's arrows with his head. There are so many generals in the army, is it possible that Du Jing is the only one who dares to die?
Not raising questions in front of the generals is to save face for Hou Jun. If he can't find a suitable person, Qiao Gui is willing to act as a forward.
"Brother Wendu, tell me why you are so angry. The commander is right to do this. Really, this job can only be left to a general like Qian Fan who can chew stones."
After finishing speaking, Niu Jinda patted Qiao Gui on the shoulder, thinking about pulling him out to get some air and not to fall out with Lao Hou. They were both brothers from the Prince of Qin's palace, so why bother!
But Qiao Gui appreciated Niu Jinda's hand and said coldly: "Jinda, Qin Huaiyu can fight better than Du Jing, why don't you recommend him?"
"Are you thinking of the bond between you and Shubao in Wagang Village and are reluctant to let your good nephew die?"
Seeing that Qiao Gui had turned his face and Niu Jinda was avoiding showing his sarcastic expression, Hou Junji no longer cared about the old friendship, slapped the case hard, raised his eyebrows and roared.
"Qiao Wendu, we are brothers of life and death. We have been together for half a lifetime. I can tolerate your bad habits!"
"But you have also figured out that I am the general manager of Dang Mi Dao and the commander-in-chief of this army. Normally, you can make trouble no matter what you want, but when a war breaks out, you have to listen to me."
Okay, there’s no time for it, right?
Then no, Qiao Gui will go into battle with Du Jing tomorrow, and forget it if nothing happens. If Du Jing has a shortcoming, Qiao Gui guarantees that this will be the last time Hou Junji leads an army in his life.
Already very angry at Zhang Liang, and being scolded by Qiao Gui, Hou Junji couldn't hold it back anymore: "Don't scare people with Changsun Wuji and Li Daliang. Even if they are their sons, what about your son-in-law?"
Like."
"I, Hou Junji, look at the saints, not them. I am the Taoist here, and I have the final say!"
Qiao Gui, who didn't talk much, and lost his temper, didn't bother to explain to Hou Junji. He just looked at her meaningfully and then walked away.
Watching Qiao Gui leave, Hou Junji couldn't help but sigh: "They say I am arrogant and domineering, but look at Wendu. Compared with him, I have a rare good temper!"
Niu Jinda was the first to say so, and said with relief: "Nature is hard to change. If Brother Wendu can change his unruly temper, he will no longer be Qiao Wendu."
"Commander, forget it! How many times have you and Brother Wendu saved each other on the battlefield? Who is more and who is less? Do you remember it?"
Remember?
God knows how many times! This is Qiao Gui. If anyone else, even Zhang Liang, dared to be so presumptuous in his handsome tent, Hou Junji would have dared to take his head.
Chapter completed!
