The massacre of the city in Beizhou was completely out of Zhou Zhiyu's control. When the soldiers from the Jianzu Camp who entered the city discovered that the so-called alliance between the big families in the city was a scam, their emotions were out of control. When the brothers around them fell one by one,
At the next moment, these men from Yanzhao who had just joined the army were about to explode. After the city was broken, both men and women, old and young, put up a fierce resistance, which added a lot of firewood to everyone's angry mood, so chaos broke out, and everyone
People are like crazy.
This matter was not the original intention of Liu Rengong, the governor of the Lulong Army. The Lulong Army went south to map the territory, Dingkou, and food, not a deserted city. Although they have captured Beizhou, what will happen to an empty Beizhou City?
Use? So Liu Rengong became very angry after entering the Beizhou government office.
Fortunately, the rapid capture of Beizhou City bought precious time for the army to move south. Therefore, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he could not be too harsh on the soldiers who fought with their lives. Those who deserved rewards should still be rewarded, but those who were reorganized in Beizhou
Within these two days, Liu Rengong had to give repeated orders, asking everyone not to engage in such behavior in future wars.
After being scolded by the commander, Zhou Zhiyu felt very wronged. After returning to the front camp, he beat the drums and beat the mao, gathered all the soldiers in the camp, and vented his anger. More than 200 soldiers of the front camp who participated in the night attack on the city survived.
There were about seventy people left. This group of people felt very wronged. Those who did not participate in the siege felt even more depressed after being scolded for nothing. Fortunately, after Zhou Zhiyu vented his anger, he announced the reward for this battle, which finally restored morale.
Come back.
Zhou Zhiyu himself made great contributions in this battle. He became a guerrilla general of the Jin Dynasty and finally became a fifth-rank official. He also served as the commander of the fifth battalion of Jianshi. Among the seventy people from the former battalion who survived the war, more than ten have already
Disabled, they were ordered to withdraw from the army and return to their hometowns, and were given additional rewards and expenses. The remaining sixty people were all rewarded, and some who had made greater contributions were promoted to one level.
Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao played a key role in the siege. Among the dozen or so people who came to the city gate, except for Ren Du, who was in a coma and did not know whether he was alive or dead, all others had died in the battle. The reward they received was Qian Yi.
Wan, the deputy lieutenant of Jin Peirong, was promoted from the ninth rank. Although it may seem like a small step, it is the difference between an officer and a soldier. This means that from now on, the two of them will be officers and their subordinates will lead soldiers.
The reward was very heavy, and it was customary to wait until the end of the war before distributing it. The officer's promotion took effect immediately. Because there were currently no recruits, and the 5th Battalion of Jiansu had lost more than 700 people in the Battle of Beizhou, so the two
He could only be a bare-bones team leader, with no soldiers under his command, and the establishment was still in the original team. Because Ren Dutou was seriously injured, Team Officer Zhang inspected Dutou, and simply took charge of the more than 70 people under his command.
The capital is divided into ten groups, two of which have only the leader himself.
As a time traveler, Li Chengzhong has been in a dilemma during the two days of rest in Beizhou. The reason is no other than Tu Chenger. He is very conflicted in his heart about the right and wrong of it. In that kind of world where you will be punished if you don't kill people.
In the case of killing, it is neither possible for him to hate what the Lu Longjun brothers did nor to agree with it. After thinking about it, he can only blame it on this unethical and chaotic world.
Jiang Miao was very open-minded about Li Chengzhong's entanglement. He just said lightly: "It's not easy to live in troubled times. It will be better if there is peace in the future." Therefore, Li Chengzhong could only sigh in the end and try his best.
Don't think about it.
Since there were no subordinates, the two of them crowded into a tent to keep company, which was much more relaxed and spacious. All the two of them suffered in this battle were superficial wounds. After two days of recovery, the wounds solidified.
, has no impact at all.
The army rested in Beizhou for two days and then continued to march south to attack Weizhou.
Weizhou is the seat of the Jiedu Prefecture of Weibo Army, and is also the center of control over the six states of Weibo Town. The world-famous Wei Boya soldiers have been stationed here for hundreds of years, especially the elite Silver Spear Army, and more of the family members of military officers live here.
Once this city is captured in Weizhou, it depends on how many other states can spread the word.
Although Wei Boya's soldiers were not scattered as previously expected, but were all concentrated in Weizhou City, everyone in the Lulong Army believed that no matter how elite this army was back then, it was already a thing of the past. It only numbered eight thousand, no matter what.
It can't compete with the Lulong Army, which boasts one hundred thousand soldiers. The combat power of the eight thousand Badu Cavalry alone is not inferior to the declining Wei Boya soldiers, not to mention the commander-in-chief's Yanei Army, the disciples of the back of the mountain, Yin Gourd, etc.
The elites of each branch are here. Even the newly formed fifth battalion of Jianzhu now seems to have considerable combat power. This has been clearly proved in the battle against Beizhou. Therefore, the army is full of confidence and morale is high along the way.
.
When they arrived at the gates of Weizhou City and saw the banner of the Xuanwu Army carried on the city tower, the various units of the Lulong Army were a little dumbfounded. The time advantage that the brothers had desperately won in the First Battle of Beizhou was lost in the face of the rapid reinforcements of the Xuanwu Army. Morale
Suddenly, everyone's hearts seemed to be weighed down by something, heavy.
Who in the world doesn't know what the "Xuanwu" flag represents? The "Xuanwu Army" is what everyone often calls the "Bian Army", and it is also the strongest army in the world today. In recent years, the Bian Army has conquered the east and west, and marched southward.
Going north, they really made a great name. The only one who could confront the Bian Army was the Jin Army in Hedong. A premature encounter with this army was really not what the Lulong Army wanted. Even if they wanted to fight, they should do it.
This is what happened after annexing Weibo and recuperating.
"Did you see clearly what was written on it?" Li Chengzhong looked at the city wall at the edge of the camp. He squinted hard, but he couldn't see clearly, so he had to ask Jiang Miao next to him. Li Chengzhong's unaided vision on the left and right sides were:
0.8 and 1.0, no problem in daily life, but it is really difficult to see the words on the flag clearly from a distance of two miles away. Speaking of which, he should be one of the people with the worst eyesight in this era.
Jiang Miao looked at Li Chengzhong curiously and said: "The one in the middle is Luo, it should be the handsome flag of Commander Wei Boluo. The one on the left is Ge, the one on the right is He... What happened to Li Lang's eyes? He was injured in Beizhou
Already?"
Li Chengzhong explained: "No injuries, just myopia, oh, just dizziness."
Jiang Miao nodded after hearing this, and her admiration for Li Chengzhong deepened in her heart. Most of the people suffering from dizziness in this era were well-educated people. As far as Jiang Miao's experience of secretly studying in private schools for several years was concerned, Li Chengzhong was very good in him.
I have been labeled as a "well-read person" in my eyes.
Of course, Li Chengzhong didn't know what Jiang Miao was thinking, and it was even more impossible for him to tell Jiang Miao that he had mild myopia caused by reading a lot of martial arts novels. He just thought hard and murmured: "... Ge... He? Ge...
"Congratulations?" With his experience of serving in the army after graduating from high school, it might be possible to ask him to answer who Li Bai is. It would also be OK to know some general deeds of the famous Zhu Wen and Li Keyong in the late Tang Dynasty, but he must understand from these two words.
It was really difficult for him to figure out who the people named Ge and He were.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty died at the hands of Zhu Wen in 907 AD. He also knew that Zhu Wen established the Later Liang Dynasty and so on. He had learned these things in elementary school history classes, and of course Li Chengzhong also remembered them. But... what happened in the second year of Guanghua
What year AD is it? This question is too difficult for him. So until now, he has not determined when the Tang Dynasty will perish.
Jiang Miao has always been a member of the lower class of society in this era. Even though he was promoted to deputy lieutenant of the Rong Dynasty two days ago, from the ninth rank, he is still not out of the category of the lower class of society. Naturally, he also does not know who Ge and He are.
Li Chengzhong couldn't think of the origins of these two men, and he had no place to ask. It was the first time for the entire Lu Long Army to go south, and most people didn't know much about the two Bian Army generals named Ge Congzhou and He Delun.
Senior officials such as Marshal Liu Rengong may have only heard some rumors through hearsay and knew that these two people were very powerful, but no one would take them to what extent they were powerful.
Li Chengzhong, who couldn't remember, didn't mind how powerful these two people were. What he cared about was that he couldn't effectively use the advantages of time-travelers, such as making suggestions based on the other person's personality, or laying ambushes in advance based on the details of the war recorded in history.
.If he travels to the Three Kingdoms, he can warn him in front of Prime Minister Cao not to connect the boats casually, and not to shoot arrows at the boats where people can't be seen in the middle of the night. He can even remind him not to take the Huarong Trail when escaping. It's just...
...This is the late Tang Dynasty. In my memory, this period of history jumps directly from the Huangchao Uprising to the demise of the Tang Dynasty. The three or forty years in between were completely blank!
It would have been better if I had brought this book on the history of the late Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't it be much better to read more posts introducing this aspect in the forum? Li Chengzhong patted his head regretfully, feeling regretful. Shang Zi was immersed in it.
Li Chengzhong, who was deeply annoyed, naturally had no idea how much of an impression these two Bian Army generals would have on the Lu Long Army in this battle of Weizhou.
Jiang Miao has always been worried about the smoke-filled scene at the top of Beizhou City that day, and often asked Li Chengzhong what was going on. In response, Li Chengzhong could only helplessly spread his hands, with an innocent look on his face, and told Jiang Miao that he didn't either
It's too clear. The smoke bombs on hand have been used up. Li Chengzhong has completely said goodbye to that era. Of course, he can't explain to anyone what happened at the top of Beizhou City that night.
Jiang Miao, who couldn't figure it out, was a little confused and often muttered words. Li Chengzhong couldn't really hear what he said, but he just felt that there was something wrong with the way Jiang Miao looked at him. As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
The siege of Weizhou this time was different from the last attack on Beizhou. The entire Lulong Army went south, and the Wei Boya Army was all concentrated in Weizhou City. It can be said that the Battle of Weizhou was the decisive battle for whether the Lulong Army could annex Weibo Town. Both sides
The outcome is determined by one battle, so when the armies are facing each other, they are not in a hurry to start fighting.
The city wall of Weizhou is more than ten feet higher than that of Beizhou, and the moat surrounding it is also ten feet deep. It can be said that the city is high and the pool is deep. There are not only 8,000 Wei Boya troops in the city, but also an unknown number of Bian troops to assist in the defense.
It couldn't be conquered in time. The Lulong Army surrounded Weizhou City from all sides, and began to organize civilians to rush to make various tools for climbing the city. Sometimes the civilians were not enough, and they often sent soldiers to help. Li Chengzhong went there twice, which was considered a great success.
This gave me some insight. The main siege equipment built by Lu Longjun was cloud chariots, gate-ramming chariots, catapults, and arrow towers. They were very solidly built, much better than Li Chengzhong imagined.
With the completion of the siege equipment, the Lulong Army also swept away the shadow caused by the Bian Army entering the city to aid Weizhou. The soldiers' morale gradually increased, and they saw that their morale was usable.
After ten days of encamping under the city and besieging the city, Zhou Zhiyu, the commander of the fifth battalion of Jiansu, finally issued a military order to attack the city on the second day! That night, pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the camp, and a good meal was made. Everyone was in high spirits.
Drinking broth, gnawing bones, talking loudly, laughing, it seems that the rafts and oars were wiped out in a blink of an eye! Especially in the capital, the examples of Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao are there, and everyone looks at them with a bit of a look.
The blush made the two of them shudder. Who doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune? As for whether he can live - now that he has become a soldier and has eaten this bowl of food, this issue cannot be considered!
