Earthfire Mingyi Chapter 5 Falling short of success 7
[69 Book Bar-www.] They didn't know the specific situation. It was November 3rd when they returned to Xijing City. The exact news was only obtained from the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back to the city. October 8th
After the Wanyuan Expeditionary Force was attacked by the Wude Camp, the Wude Camp immediately reorganized its soldiers and launched a surprise attack on the subsequent troops.
At that time, the successor army was coming in the front, and I never dreamed that the five thousand main forces ahead had been wiped out. Even worse luck was that although the expeditionary army had escaped soldiers, they did not meet them, so the successor army had no such thing as the successor army.
After receiving this news, he was completely unprepared. Wude Camp was waiting for work and took advantage of the victory. He had a strong morale and his troops had exceeded the strength of the subsequent troops. In this battle, the subsequent troops were defeated more miserably than the expeditionary troops.
, almost failed to organize an effective counterattack. Fortunately, although the defeat was ugly, the losses were far less than the expeditionary army. Only more than 500 of the three thousand people were lost, and most of them escaped, just the supplies and food they escorted.
All lost.
When they returned to Xijing City, many people were surprised. What surprised them even more was that Bi Wei actually escaped that big defeat and lost one eye.
After meeting Bi Wei, they were sent back. As soon as they left Bi Wei's residence, Cheng Diwen couldn't help but curse a few words: "Damn, this group of guys who look down on others think we are!"
Bi Wei didn't say anything, but the registered officers looked at the more than 200 officers and soldiers with no injuries on their bodies, but were tired and did not hide their contempt. This defeat was too miserable, and the escaped people
There are very few people who are not injured. These two hundred people have not even broken oily skin on their bodies. Even if they have a good face and are exhausted, they are still tired when they come back. Cheng Diwen kept beating around the bush when the officers registered.
Asked about their escape, I felt a little bit like an attack.
The officers did not believe that they had organized a raid on Chu Capital. They only felt that these people were afraid of death and escaped at the last minute. After they escaped, they were afraid of being blamed. Therefore, they confessed and made up this bizarre story. Indeed, Bi
Five thousand people of the General were crippled, and the subsequent three thousand people were also beaten away. More than two hundred people left the battlefield at the most intense moment of the battle and almost took the rebel base. This story is really unbelievable.
At least that registered officer didn't believe it.
Zheng Sichu said lightly: "Think we are deserters." He looked at Shen Yangyi who walked out with them and sighed: "General Shen, I'm so sorry, I killed you."
Shen Yangyi just smiled and said, "Staff Officer Zheng, you are joking. Shen Yangyi escaped with you and almost made a great contribution. It is up to him to believe it or not, so why should he do it?"
Seeing that he didn't take it to his heart, Zheng Sichu felt even more uncomfortable and said, "General Shen, I'm afraid you won't be promoted again in the future."
Shen Yangyi smiled again, touched the back of his head, and said, "Staff General Zheng, have you never heard of it? He climbed early and fell heavily. I am already a captain, and I really feel that it is too high. I will lower my level one
Make me feel more at ease. Haha, destined, it’s not my credit, I can’t get it after all. Don’t take it to your heart.”
The more generous he was, the more uncomfortable Zheng Sichu would be. In this big defeat, he and Cheng Diwen must take responsibility. But both of them were sons of high-ranking officials, but Shen Yangyi was a powerless and powerful little officer.
He was probably the one who took the blame. Zheng Sichu's nose felt a little sour when he heard Shen Yangyi say "Don't take it to his heart". He felt even more sorry for him and said, "General Shen..."
He wanted to say a few more words of apologies, and Chen Yangyi suddenly slapped his shoulder and said, "Staff General Zheng, don't be like this kind of childlike manner. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Chen Yangyi can get to know Staff General Zheng. It is my honor to wait for the heroes of the times."
Zheng Sichu smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of hero am I? General Chen, you are really good at joking."
Chen Yangyi said seriously: "I'm not joking. I've been a soldier for more than ten years. I've seen more than a few people, but I'm calm and wise and good at making decisions. Only Staff Zheng is you. Who is Chen Zhong? , He can remember your voice tightly, can't he prove anything?"
