Compared with ordinary soldiers and grain men, the physical fitness and discipline of this group of miners headed by brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao are much stronger.
After Han Qing defeated Yang Xingyan, he also keenly discovered that the combat power he could call upon at any time and rely on was still the same group of veterans he had brought with him when he left the Zhenrong Army. Therefore, he specially increased his efforts on these miners.
Cultivate strength.
These more than 400 miners, under the leadership of veterans of the Zhenrong Army, have made rapid progress. They have experienced many battles in pursuit of Lu Ziming and against the Korean navy. They are like a newly forged sword embryo.
The frost blade was sharpened inch by inch.
The signing army in front of us is the most appropriate weapon to test the sword. It is neither as strong as the regular army of the Liao Kingdom, nor as weak as the Xiang Army of the Song Dynasty.
More than 400 brothers from Zhaoyuan Camp, led by brothers Yuan Bao and Yuan Kun, followed Han Qing, shouting and fighting, and in the blink of an eye, the gap widened to more than two feet wide.
Amidst the neighing of animals and the cries of people, the flags disappeared one after another. The will of the soldiers to resist became weaker and weaker. From generals to soldiers, countless people dropped their weapons, jumped over the carriages, and ran away.
Green farmland on both sides of Xiangguan Road.
Farmland near the Yellow River is suffering from waterlogging, and wheat and millet cannot be grown. The main crop is sorghum.
At this time, midsummer had just passed and the sorghum was jointing. The horses of the Liao cavalry were cunning and would not feed on the rough sorghum stalks. Therefore, hundreds of acres of sorghum were like an undulating green gauze tent. As long as one successfully got in,
The shadow disappeared immediately!
"Kill the officers first, then the soldiers. Those who escape do not need to be chased. Those who put down their weapons and surrender will avoid death!" Han Qing quickly glanced at the battlefield and made decisive adjustments to his tactics.
It's not that he has any kindness towards women, it's just that he doesn't have enough time to get rid of all his evil responsibilities.
Yelulongxing is only half a day away from here. If we risk the loss of our horses, we can even turn back in an hour and a half.
Rather than letting the brothers waste their precious time chasing down the fleeing sign troops, it would be better to take a few more carts of baggage and leave.
"Kill that official, kill the official first, capture the thief and capture the king!" Dou Sha followed Han Qing for a long time and understood his thoughts best. He shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "If the soldiers don't want to die, surrender quickly."
, let those who escape go, don’t waste your time!”
"Kill the officers first, and ignore the soldiers who surrender or escape."
"Surrender and avoid death!"
…
Zhang Fan, Liu Hong, Yuan Kun, Yuan Bao and others quickly spread Han Qing's order to the ears of all brothers according to their respective understandings.
The crowd overtook Han Qing and continued to march forward, using spears and steel knives to knock down the soldiers who could not escape one by one, and overturned the carriages blocking the road one after another.
Bundles of armor-piercing awls, spears, armor, iron whips, bags of rice, beans, and even dried meat rolled out of the overturned carriage, making people tremble in their hearts.
These weapons and grain were supplied to the Liao cavalry under Yelu Longxing. The signed troops were not eligible to enjoy them.
Right now, they were all thrown on the ground like garbage, being kicked around and stepped on by pairs of big feet.
"Take a few people, hitch the animals on the baggage carts, and load them onto the ship!" Han Qing ran a few steps quickly, grabbed Zhang Shouzhong who was leading the charge, and ordered loudly, "Take away everything you can, and everything you can't."
Those who leave will sink into the Yellow River, and don’t leave them to Yelu Longxing!”
"Subordinate, I obey!" Zhang Shouzhong hesitated and responded with some reluctance.
The signing army was defeated like a mountain. In this case, even if you hold a bamboo pole in your hand, you can capture several prisoners.
The value of a prisoner is equal to that of a human head. An ordinary soldier can be promoted to leader if he cuts off three. A commander who leads his subordinates to collect a hundred heads or prisoners can be promoted to a higher rank.
"After packing up the baggage, record the merit of breaking the formation. After this battle, you find a few brothers who get along well and join the Crane Control Department as errands." Han Qing was able to grasp people's hearts and immediately guessed why Zhang Shouzhong hesitated and faced
The figure from behind added loudly.
The merit of breaking the formation is higher than that of beheading. Although the Crane Control Office is a newly established yamen, the errands there are the "iron rice bowls" of this era, which are far more secure than being the commander and the head of the Xiang army.
How could Zhang Shouzhong not be in high spirits after hearing this? He shouted "Get the order", called his direct descendants, and went straight to the carriage and animals.
"Li Qianshi, go and tell the scout team not to relax! If you find any enemy troops, no matter which direction they come from, report them to me immediately." Shaking his head slightly, Han Qing turned his attention to Li Yu.
Instructed in a low voice.
Li Yu was entrusted by Dou Rong to take care of Han Qing's safety at all times, so after the war started, he always stayed within five feet of him. After listening to his instructions, he immediately handed over with a smile.
Before Li Yu's figure had gone far, Zhang Fan suddenly gave up chasing the enemy and hurriedly turned back. Holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, he stood beside Han Qing on full alert.
"Who among the people in the army has the guts to kill me right now?" Han Qing's heart warmed slightly and she urged with a smile, "If you want to make a contribution, go and capture a few more prisoners yourself. Don't let this great opportunity go to waste."
"It's boring!" Zhang Fan smiled and shook his head slightly, "The enemy general has surrendered, and if we catch him next, they will just be rotten fish and shrimps. Besides, I was promoted quickly enough when I was with Ting Xing. It's not necessary.
Let’s compete with the brothers for the credit.”
"Already surrendered, so soon?" Han Qing did not expect that just when he turned around to assign tasks to Li Yu, the enemy general had already been captured. He instinctively raised his head and looked forward.
Sure enough, we saw that the flag of the general commanded by the signing army had been cut down. All the enemy troops either surrendered or fled, completely giving up resistance.
"It's really hard to win against this kind of opponent." He quickly looked back and said to Zhang Fan with a smile, "If you want to take the path of a military general, I can recommend you to become a battalion commander with the Zhenrong Army.
Or Yuhou..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Fan shook his head decisively, "I'd rather stay by Tixing's side and follow others. I'm afraid that he will treat me like an abandoned son."
"Me too, it's most practical to follow the punishment!" Liu Hong also hurriedly turned back. Hearing Zhang Fan's words, he immediately echoed loudly.
After saying that, he suddenly seemed to realize something. He widened his eyes and asked softly, "Ti Xing, are you saying that our battle is over?"
Han Qing did not hide anything from his two confidants. He thought about it and explained in a low voice, "It's not over yet, but it should be soon. Yelu Longxing has no ships and can't hit us. I don't have horses, so I don't dare to go head-to-head with him.
If the stalemate continues, it will be like now. I only dare to fight his minions, and he chases me every day. The Liao army has come a long way, and he shouldn't have that much time to waste with me!"
"Then the imperial court will transfer us to Chanzhou? After all, your record is here, even though we have been fighting against the Chinese army and Koreans." Liu Hong had a sudden idea and asked with some expectation.
"Probably not!" Han Qing shook his head with a smile without even thinking about it, "The imperial court is not short of elite soldiers, nor is it short of good generals, so how can it be our group of soldiers and grain men to put out fires everywhere? What's more, I'm just a counselor.
Criminal officer."
After the words fell, Liu Hong and Zhang Fan were immediately speechless.
It is true that the Song Dynasty had 18 Imperial Guards, but none of the 18 Imperial Guards has taken the initiative to go out of the city to fight the Liao army.
On the other hand, this ragtag group of soldiers and grain men repeatedly crossed the natural chasm of the Yellow River and fought back and forth with the East Route Army led by Yelu Longxing.
However, what Han Tixing just said should be right. No matter how brilliant our achievements are, it is unlikely that the imperial court will transfer us to Chanzhou.
Once this happens, it will make many veterans and veterans feel uncomfortable.
Secondly, no matter who becomes the emperor, until the rumors about "reincarnation and robbery" are clarified, I am afraid that Han Tixing will not dare to hold military power again, and he is so close to Bianliang!
Just when he was regretful and depressed, he heard Han Qing say with a smile, "Next, I plan to take charge of the control department and sort it out. After taking office for so long, I, as a judge, have never managed the control department as you have.
As for the affairs of the Crane Department, you can't just stand around and not work! If you two want to do something interesting, come and control the Crane Department and help me."
