"The squadron leader has personal soldiers?" Even Hu Zhang couldn't figure it out. This was the first time he had heard of a squadron leader who had such strong personal soldiers.
When the war entered its final stage, City Lord Jiang arrived at the battlefield in time with two thousand city defense troops and five thousand auxiliary soldiers, and logically took over the task of guarding the prisoners and cleaning the battlefield. As for how this "local snake" knew about the battlefield.
What's the situation? How can we seize the opportunity properly? That's not clear.
It can be said that the encounter in Wanggui City is over, but the battle in Huashan County is not over yet. All guest troops will not stay in Wanggui City for a long time. After a short rest, they will go out to support the main battlefield, so the prisoners and most of the battlefield captured fortresses
Leave it to the local army. The key is that the Ninth Meng Army robbed a lot of people's property, and the seizures from the prisoners of the Meng Army were quite considerable. In the end, only a few properties could be returned to their original owners in the chaos of war, and the rest were all turned over to the national treasury and the local government.
The officials can intercept some of it. The method is actually very simple, just find some people to pretend to be the owners of the property.
A somewhat tense and fierce encounter came to an end. The Shaodian Army won a great victory. Including the Wanggui City troops, a total of more than 40,000 people were defeated. The right wing of the Meng Ninth Army, which had a regular army of 30,000, was captured alive.
Names, several magicians, one army staff officer, more than 6,000 soldiers captured, and more than 10,000 enemy soldiers killed. Such results ranked high in the Nanzhao Prefecture War Zone, and it was one of the more morale-boosting battles in the recent war.
fighting.
The greatest credit belongs to Fan Yi. As the commander of the entire battle, he single-handedly planned and arranged the war. This is the credit earned by the supreme commander. The second is Miao He. As the commander of the war, he got this job for free.
No one will take credit for him, not to mention that many of his decisions are remarkable; next are the division commanders who participated in the war. The decisions made by each of them are related to the result of the battle, and their names are not listed in the credit book.
People question.
Xue Chong's credit is second only to that of the division commanders. He first ambush the enemy's path with great foresight, and then discovered the enemy in time and arranged for his subordinate Ding Kui to attack the 21st Army Corps.
He then attracted a part of the enemy's right wing to be trapped in Wanggui City, and then attracted the entire enemy's right wing, delaying the reconnaissance of the enemy's reinforcements at a critical moment, and finally led his subordinates to bravely capture the enemy's division commander.
Following Xue Chong, a leapfrog leader, Captain Ding Kui, appeared. He led his team to defeat 500 with 100, and rode bravely into the enemy camp alone. He properly protected the safety of the general. The most important thing was that he fought alone.
Captured the commander of the 85th Division of Meng and the commander of the right wing of the Meng Army.
Because all the merits of the soldiers will be credited to the general, Ding Yu's name will not appear in the merit book, and he will not be counted as a member of the unit. Ao Yu learned about this later
, but he doesn’t mind at all. It’s only when you treat him as an adult that he becomes unhappy.
Ding Kui's magnificent record sealed the silence of all the captains of the troops participating in the war.
Not convinced?
You you on the line!
Except for "properly protecting the safety of the general", there is no other achievement that those captains dare to pat their chests and say "I can do this". Courage is second and mainly strength. Just being a fearless knight is enough.
No one dares to fight head-on.
The Meng Ninth Army suffered heavy losses this time. There were only 2,000 people in the 85th Division, more than 1,000 people in the 86th Division and scattered deserters who ran back to Xiaxuan Pass. Together, more than 4,000 people fled the battlefield. A total of 30,000 people were reorganized.
The right wing of the army was almost completely destroyed, and the number of people who escaped back to the base camp was less than one-sixth of the original number. It was a true rout.
In this expedition to Huashan County, Meng's Ninth Army dispatched a total of more than 94,000 people. During the encounter in Wanggui City, the number was reduced by more than a quarter. If Hong Jin went back like this, he would be ordered to cease fighting and rest. Besides, the Ninth Army
The main force is still staying at the border of Huashan County.
The 196th Division and the Lindi 12th Division allowed their horses and cavalry to replenish food and water after the battle. After staying for less than half an hour, Tang Fu ordered to rush to pursue the main force of Meng's 9th Army. It was already dusk by then.
Miao He did not immediately accompany the cavalry because he and Xuanyuan Feng's men had exhausted too much energy. However, he promised Tang Fu that once the rest was over, he would lead his troops to assist in attacking the enemy's main force even if he traveled all night.
The conditions of the 19th and 20th Divisions were indeed not suitable for a forced march. After killing the enemy's right wing, the Shaodian Army had a strength advantage in the battle, and there was no shortage of 10,000 to 20,000 troops who were marching slowly.
The new military order Xue Chong originally received was to assist Wanggui City in guarding the prisoners. In addition to not wanting this foreign detachment to continue to be in the limelight, Miao He was also unwilling to let Ding Kui join the new war. In the legion-level battle, Ding Kui
There won't be much military merit, so it's better to ensure Ding Kui's safety.
However, this new military order has always been opposed by his subordinates. They are cavalry and they want to show their strength in the pursuit battle. The Shaodian Army has nearly 50,000 cavalry chasing the enemy. The total enemy army is only about 60,000. As long as the main force
Some of them rushed to join the battle. No matter how hard we fight, we will never lose this battle.
"Captain Xue, we run fast. Who is more suitable to chase the enemy than us? Think about it, we have just won a great victory in a pursuit battle, and the morale of the brothers below is high. Even if we do not participate in the main force's actions,
It's good to have some soup with the auxiliary attack force." The most active one was of course Ding Kui.
Ding Kui was not willing to stay and guard the prisoners. Such a job was not something Ding Kui wanted to do. With Ao Yu by his side, he was not worried about being in any danger in a large battle. His own troops were in the majority, and the enemy had no intention of fighting in Huashan County. Such a battle was worth it.
Go fight.
Xue Chong thought over and over again and felt that he could not be so cowardly. His former comrades were fighting at the front, and he stayed behind to guard the prisoners. If he met his old comrades in the future, he would be laughed to death. After that, he shamelessly said to Miao Hemo: "General Miao
, they helped us once, but we can't stand aside and watch as they fight fiercely again and again. Your department lacks cavalry, and the cavalry casualties of the 12th Division are too high. If we are not allowed to fight, you will not be able to do anything in the subsequent war.
If it doesn't work, then you have to owe someone else a favor."
"What a joke, you are mocking me for having no one under my command. Go outside and ask the more than 10,000 men if they can work?" Miao He had seen soldiers and ruffians and did not accept Xue Chong's tactics.
"Haha, I don't dare. How dare you be so humble? In fact, let us go out to fight, plus the remaining cavalry of the 12th Division, and finally run to the edge of the main battlefield to cheer. It's better than not being able to see us." Xue
Charge quickly and change your routine.
"Well, that makes some sense, let me think about it." Miao He was a little moved.
