"Clang, clang, clang..." The battle intensified and blood flowed into rivers. Suddenly, a sound of gold rang out from Bashui County, and the Gaoguo army quickly withdrew from the battlefield and quickly returned to the city.
"Kill!!" Qi Guo's army saw it. Although they didn't know what happened, they immediately chased and killed him.
It's just that the enemy left behind troops to block Qi's army.
"Dang, clang, clang..." At this moment, the sound of ringing gold came from behind, so the army stopped chasing and turned around and retreated ten miles.
"Why did we retreat? Didn't we defeat the enemy and flee?" Some people found it hard to understand.
"Our losses were greater in this battle. The enemy probably did not flee, but achieved his goal." Cen Pei explained, "It seems that the general's strategy of attacking the enemy did not work. The main force of the opponent's two supporting troops has successfully withdrawn into the city."
"But we survived!" Diao Jun felt his heart was still beating wildly. He had experienced life and death countless times in the previous battles, and his spirit was very tense.
"Go back to camp and rest! I'm afraid I won't be able to rest for long, and the war will start again soon!" Cen Pei sighed.
The team quickly retreated away from Bashui County.
The entire army was stationed on a plain terrain ten miles away to recuperate.
Back at the camp, this team was still gathered together, because the fierce fighting completely broke up the original formation, and their respective teams had long been eliminated.
Although the new team is unfamiliar with each other, everyone sees Cen Pei's strength, and following him has a greater chance of survival.
Most of us are cannon fodder who were forcibly recruited and assigned to other teams. No one cares about their life or death. Only in this team can we feel a little hope.
Just as they arrived at the camp, before they could take a breath, they suddenly saw a deputy general leading his troops and headed straight to where they were.
Everyone suddenly became nervous and hurriedly surrounded Cen Pei.
The deputy general came to the front, glanced casually, and pointed at Cen Pei and Diao Jun: "You! And you! Follow me!"
"General, what can I do for you?" Cen Pei asked.
"General Yu summoned, don't talk nonsense! Come with me to the main tent quickly!" After the deputy general said that, he turned around and took the people away.
"Summoned by General Zhe Chong?" The people around him looked surprised, "Brother Pei, Brother Jun, I'm afraid your military exploits have attracted the general's attention!"
"Then Brother Pei and Brother Jun are going to be promoted?"
"Brother Pei, Brother Jun! You have been promoted, but don't forget us!"
"That's right! We are friends who have died on the battlefield!"
"If you are promoted, don't leave us behind!"
...
Comrades gathered around one after another.
"Don't worry, everyone," Cen Pei said even though he didn't know why he was called over, "No matter what general Yu has assigned, Cen will definitely take everyone with him! I promised everyone that I will go back alive!"
"Brother Pei, remember these words!!"
Cen Pei and Diao Jun followed them to the main tent, and found that there were other unknown soldiers coming in one after another, but they were all covered in blood and looked very strong.
During the meeting, General Zhechong Yu Cheng and his lieutenants sat solemnly, looking at everyone.
"Meet you, General!!" After everyone had almost arrived, the summoned soldiers saluted one after another.
"Hmm~" Jia Zhengjin's transformed Yu Cheng glanced across the past and spoke calmly, "This general has set up a supervisory army to observe on the battlefield. Everyone present is either an elite Danyang soldier or a forced soldier. Today's battle is impressive! It turns out that
There are so many strong generals in our Danyang army! I, the general, love talents and want to promote them based on their military exploits..."
Hearing this, most of the soldiers at the scene showed excited expressions. Although they had guessed that this was the case before coming here, it was a different feeling to hear it with their own ears.
The soldiers summoned here are all those who performed bravely on the battlefield.
It is said that it is a record of the supervisory army, but in fact, where does the supervisory army have such a chance on the battlefield? It was Jia Zhengjin who obtained data through Nuwa and used satellite monitoring to record the best people on the battlefield.
To capture Bashui County, it is impossible to rely solely on the twelve lieutenants around you.
Just like the deputy general Zou Yan, who attacked Yuanzhou with reinforcements, had such a good opportunity and was forced to break through by the local general Zhuo Yan.
On the other side, Morico, with the help of reinforcements in the city, repelled his lieutenant and successfully retreated to Bashui County.
If these fierce generals were leading the army at that time, I am afraid they would have taken down the enemy's general and taken the opportunity to capture Bashui County!
There is nothing wrong with my strategy, but the executor is not capable enough!
The reason why Jia Zhengjin made an exception and promoted these outstanding people with the best performance and the strongest judgment on the battlefield was to change the situation so that something like this would not happen again.
He doesn't care about the military structure, as long as he has talents, he will put them in the right position.
Those who have performed meritorious service or performed bravely on the battlefield are basically lower-level soldiers.
Jia Zhengjin said a word, and all of them were promoted to captains, and each of them commanded five hundred soldiers.
Except for Diao Jun, who had no intention at all and just wanted to leave, everyone else was inexplicably excited, including Cen Pei.
Everyone who has made meritorious service will receive a school captain's military uniform and corresponding weapons, as well as a golden sore medicine with miraculous effects.
They each returned to camp to change out of their blood-stained armor, apply ointment to their wounds, put on their captain's uniforms, and then returned to the main tent to assemble again.
After becoming popular, Jia Zhengjin spoke: "You have performed bravely and are rare strong generals in our army! From now on, you will become famous all over the world for our Danyang Army!"
"Here!!" all the captains shouted in unison.
"In today's battle, we lost 4,500 people and the enemy lost more than 1,600 people. This is not a big deal. Unfortunately, the strategy failed. Not only did it fail to cause heavy casualties to the enemy defenders, even two supporting troops successfully escaped.
It’s such a pity in the city!”
"The general did something wrong and ruined the general's strategy. Please punish me!!" Zou Yan and the other twelve lieutenants all knelt down and bowed their heads in apology.
Jia Zhengjin looked at them indifferently, then turned to Cen Pei in the crowd: "Colonel Cen!"
"The end is here!" Cen Pei immediately came out of the crowd, clasped his fists and bowed.
"You performed the best today. You even killed the enemy general Gu Teng, causing chaos in the army! Otherwise, if their three armies join forces, we may be defeated." Jia Zhengjin said, "I want to make you a deputy general, but I don't know what to do.
how?"
"Ah?" Cen Pei was completely confused.
He was directly promoted from a soldier to a lieutenant. He had no idea how many levels he had been promoted in a row. Now he was promoted to a deputy general? And he was also the deputy general next to General Zhe Chong. It was like rising to the top in one step!
"Captain Cen?"
"General, general...I..." Cen Pei felt unreal.
"You don't want to?"
"General, of course I am very willing!" Cen Pei quickly knelt down on one knee.
"Very good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "From now on, you will be my thirteenth deputy general, Diao Jun!"
"The general is here!" Although he was not very happy, Diao Jun still stood up. After all, General Zhe Chong in front of him was a big shot, and he did not dare to disobey orders.
"It's really rare that you have a magic weapon in your body! Are you willing to be my lieutenant?"
Cen Pei turned around quickly and kept winking at Diao Jun.
Although Diao Jun was unwilling, he knew he could not refuse, so he took a step forward and knelt down next to Cen Pei: "Thank you, general!"
