On that day, after the Central Tang Army entered Dazu County, they were attacked by fire. The whole army was in an uproar and was in great chaos. Their commander, Tang Lie, fell ill and fainted.
The Snake Swallowing Army took advantage of the situation to attack quickly. Under such circumstances, the Central Tang Army still resisted tenaciously, with the Zhennan Army and the Pingxi Army as the core holding on.
However, at the critical moment, Lu Yu led the Snake Snake Guards to attack from the side. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he completely defeated the Central Tang Army guarding the baggage, burned all the food and grass baggage, and beheaded the Zhennan Army General Hou Lie.
.
Under such circumstances, the Zhongtang Army was still able to hold on for three days. In the end, all water and food were cut off. About a dozen generals refused to surrender and committed suicide in the camp. The Zhongtang Army, which had lost its backbone, finally collapsed.
At that time, the Northern Qi army had formed a complete encirclement. Generally speaking, it was quite good that the Central Tang army could escape a hundred or so people who slipped through the net.
The outcome of this battle spread throughout the world in a short period of time, and the Central Plains was shocked!
The Snake-Eating Army was as famous as the imperial soldiers of the Mid-Tang Dynasty before. After this battle, it became famous all over the world, and there were faint signs of completely overshadowing it. There is even a theory that only the David Dynasty defended the capital.
The Qin Fei Army was on par with it.
Before the end of this battle, it was generally believed that the battle between Northern Qi and Zhongtang was 50-50, and even if one side could seize the opportunity to defeat the other, it would only be regarded as a tragic victory. Where?
Would you know that this battle turned out to be a battle of encirclement and annihilation in which the army and generals were destroyed?
After this battle, the people of Xirong, who had already made a lot of money, could not help but be completely shocked by the news. They had no intention of staying any longer, and even the Snake-Swallowing Army went back home in panic while the Snake-Swallowing Army was still resting.
It looks like a dog with its tail between its legs.
It is said that after learning the battle report from the front line, the king of the Middle Tang Dynasty seemed to be very calm, but he did not show up for the next two or three days. According to the chamberlain, the imperial meal that was sent in was sent out almost intact, and then there was
He ordered the selection of talented people and concubines, and it seemed that he was planning to use sensuality to numb himself.
Perhaps the only good news for the Central Tang Army is that the Storm Army suffered an ambush. Not only was it injured, but it was also severely damaged. Therefore, it was forced back step by step. Fortunately, at this time, Shen Can
It had already achieved great success. It was already a miracle to be able to cut off the back roads of the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty at that time. It was even more of a miracle to invade the territory of the Zhongtang Dynasty later.
Because the main force of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was completely annihilated in the battle, it was Lu Yu who fought in person, and the glory and credit were all integrated on him. Therefore, after this battle, Shen Can was obviously the number one military officer in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
His position was unshakable. Tian Heng should have been above him, but he committed suicide. No one can blame him.
At the same time, under Lin Fengjin's advice, the prisoners of the Central Tang Army were also treated with great kindness, and they were also carefully screened:
If there are people with families in Zhongtang, they will be listed. These people are intended to be imprisoned and asked for ransom or exchange by people from Zhongtang.
If they are the kind of die-hard elements, they will directly disrupt the group and hand it over to the local government, and let them mix with prisoners to do hard labor, build ditches, dig weirs, and open mines, and they will never be able to escape. Under such hard work
, when faced with fighting for an extra nest like dogs, the inner hostility of these die-hard elements should quickly subside, and it will not be too late to recruit them by then. If they are still stubborn,
Ling, then fill the mine with bones.
If they were free of worries and seemed quite cooperative in all aspects, Northern Qi was planning to recruit them to form a new infantry regiment to fill Northern Qi's future.
After this three-pronged diversion, basically the prisoners of the Central Tang Army were digested smoothly without any trouble.
Therefore, generally speaking, it is true that the national power of the Northern Qi Dynasty was greatly damaged after this battle, but its military strength is hard to say. Once the tens of thousands of soldiers captured by the Central Tang Army are completely digested by the Northern Qi Dynasty, the military strength may not be good.
Even more prosperous! In this case, once the Northern Qi Dynasty calmed down, anyone with a discerning eye would know that it would definitely have to attack the Zhongtang Dynasty.
However, it is still too early to talk about these things now. The situation in the country at this time in Northern Qi is by no means easy. The northwest has been so rotten that it will take at least ten years to recover. The bloody battle under Zuoliu City caused the country to suffer a lot.
There are one hundred thousand orphans and widows, not to mention that the autumn harvest is around the corner, and the overseas countries in the East China Sea are still eyeing it and may come to invade the sea at any time.
Therefore, no matter how hard Lu Yu wanted to march out, he would probably have to wait for half a year. At this time, it was time for both sides to start licking their wounds and digesting the dividends plundered during the war.

"The world has turned upside down? Are you going to turn the world upside down?"
Lu Yu's roar echoed in the big tent, and the people around him felt a bit silent, but the two parties below still looked unwilling to give up.
These two people are both hot celebrities at the moment. The man wearing a bright silver armor is Xia Houye, the deputy commander of the Snake-Eating Army who made a great contribution in this battle. This man is proficient in the art of war, and even more so.
He was very brave and good at throwing spears. He led his army to advance rapidly in Dazu County, killed generals with flying spears, and was the first to break through the enemy's camp! He killed four generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty in formation, and he was already a new representative figure among the snake-eating army.
Another person who looked as if nothing had happened seemed out of place among a group of generals. He was dressed as a scholar and looked even younger. Facing the murderous Xia Houye, he was calm and calm, just copy
Standing beside him with a smile on his face, Xia Houye, who was staring at him with murderous eyes, regarded him as nothing.
The person who could do so calmly in front of Lu Yu, the king's roar and the murderous upstart general, was certainly not an idle person, but Lin Fengjin, the general manager of the camp.
Speaking of which, the position of general manager seems to be very low-key. It is similar to that of a general who transports grain. You do not get the credit for killing generals and capturing flags. It seems that you can only slowly accumulate qualifications behind the scenes. In fact, it is very important, and the technical content is also extremely high.
It really tests the level of the person sitting in this position.
However, strictly speaking, it is easy to do even if it is easy to do, and it is difficult to do if it is difficult to do.
If a mediocre person takes this position, it is actually very simple. Xiao can just follow Cao Cao's rules. Each army also has its own quartermaster. If anyone wants something, a list will be issued, and you just obey.
Give others what they ask for. If you don’t have it, throw the key to the warehouse to them. Tell them honestly that you don’t have it, and others won’t make it difficult for you. Of course, don’t think about having any sense of existence. The military generals probably also
I will only mention your name when drinking and chatting, and then show my contempt by making a "tsk" between my teeth or belching wine!
However, if the person in this position has both talent and means, then someone like Lin Fengjin can even completely ignore the existence of the quartermasters of each army. In other words, the quartermasters can make various demands before
, the general manager of the camp can deliver what the army needs, and the quartermaster can only be a puppet who signs and signs.
Moreover, each army has selfish motives, both public and private, and wants to eat more and occupy more. Therefore, the quantity allocated to each army is also very particular. It is necessary to take into account the discount and loss, but also cannot allow the people below to talk nonsense, and then let the excess
The supplies were piled at the bottom of the warehouse where they were allocated, unable to function in vain.
All this sounds complicated. To give a simple example, for example, if the sky is cloudy, then the marching commander will know that it is going to rain and will send an umbrella one step ahead. Of course, this is the most basic example, like Lin Fengjin
This kind of general manager of operations considers more than just this, covering many aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation!
For example, if a certain vanguard army went out to raid three times tonight, then the horse feed sent there said that the ingredients must be added according to the proportion of ten eggs for each horse.
At the same time, the wounds sent over should be mainly for arrow wounds and bruises, because when harassing, the opponent would mostly fight back with bows and arrows and would not fight, and the bruises were caused by falling off the horse.
For another example, if the same army goes into battle today, the pre-mixed wound medicine should be appropriately mixed with some medicine to treat internal injuries, because in addition to slashing with knives, hitting with shields is also a very common trick for the army of the Middle Tang Dynasty.
There are so many methods and knowledge in horse materials and wound medicine alone. Therefore, if you want not to be deceived by the people below, if you want to bypass the quartermasters of each army and maximize the use of the limited resources in your hands,
Then you really need to devote yourself completely to military affairs. You must know no less information than the commander-in-chief, and you must be kind and powerful to the people under your command in order to be extremely capable of execution.
After Lin Fengjin became the general manager of this camp, everyone present knew that he had fallen in Lu Yu's eyes. Their interactions with him these days were revealed from the words of his quartermaster, as well as the disposal of trophies, the arrangement of the wounded, and the details of his military exploits.
In all aspects of calculation and so on, we all know that this is a very powerful person. If you want to play any tricks in front of him, don't even think about it.
Therefore, although these arrogant generals in the army have their eyes high after the victory, they are also very restrained towards Lin Fengjin and his men. To put it bluntly, if the mountains and rivers do not change, this battle will not be over.
It's not that the world is at peace, but having such a powerful person sitting behind the scenes in the future can make people feel at ease.
However, although the general thought so, how did the sergeants below know this? These days, with the power of great victory, they were almost going to be shaken. Xia Houye's men were drunk in the middle of the night, but before they had enough fun, there were two
A corps leader led the team and ran to Lin Fengjin's supply camp to steal some wine. After being discovered, he used alcohol to commit murder and stabbed two supply soldiers to death.
The matter ended here, and it was originally unreasonable on Xia Houye's side, but the guards assigned by Lin Fengjin realized something was wrong and immediately chased him. The guards assigned by Lin Fengjin were naturally the group of red cavalry guards around him.
And the order he gave was that anyone who entered the baggage warehouse area without permission would die!
This order is a matter of course. If anyone is allowed to wander around the warehouse in the supply camp area, it proves that Lin Fengjin, the camp manager, is a useless person. To put it mildly, if a spy lights a fire, the loss will be huge. It may even lead to the collapse of the entire army!
So, the red cavalry guards around Lin Fengjin rushed up and shot the five assailants to death at the gate of Xiahouye's camp!!
This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest, and many people immediately rushed out to avenge their colleagues. Although the Snake-Eating Army was arrogant, could these red knights around Lin Fengjin be fuel-efficient lamps? With a whistle, the first one to rush out was The mounts of a dozen people suffered a disaster and were knocked over twenty feet away by a barrage of arrows fired by the men on the red cavalry.
When the Red Cavalry men around Lin Fengjin went to fight to collect the bounty, everyone in the Snake-Eating Army knew that the archery skills of these prairie barbarians were cruel and poisonous, and the people from the Central Tang Dynasty who were shot to death by them were either in the eyes or It's your throat, but as a saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy.
When these prairie people who never seem to have a smile on their faces stand opposite you and become enemies, the Snake-Eating Army, with its eyes high above the sky, deeply realizes that the archery skills of these prairie people are not only capable of using "ruthless" Can it be described with the word "poison"?
Because of this, despite their concerns, the confrontation between the two sides became longer and did not turn into a big melee. Of course, Lin Fengjin came immediately after hearing the news, and of course Xia Houye refused to give up. , the two sides naturally saw that the eyes were not eyes, and the nose was not nose, and there was a conflict immediately.
There is a saying that when a scholar encounters a soldier, it is hard to explain why. Xia Houye rolled his eyes and did not say a few words to Lin Fengjin. He bullied him for being weak and slapped him in the face. However, he did not know that Lin Fengjin Although he seemed to be a weak scholar, he really wasn't afraid of him at all when it came to a duel. As a result, Lin Fengjin grabbed his wrist with a slap, and almost kicked him to the ground with a careless move. In full view of everyone, it was simply It's extremely embarrassing.
But at this time, Xia Houye roared and drew his knife, and Lu Yu, who was alarmed, rushed over. He was completely unable to fight. At this time, there were many people onlookers, and Xia Houye was also a snake-eating army after all. Yes, so the other generals also followed. The army was always working together to protect its enemies, so the scene before us happened.
After Lu Yu finished his roar, his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the people in the tent. He knew that he was going to face a difficult problem today, but he already had a plan in mind:
First of all: the snake-eating army is too strong and needs to be beaten.
At the same time, military discipline was strict, and the source of this incident was Xiahouye's lax military management.
And in this battle, Lin Fengjin was ordered to face danger. When he needed it most, he stepped forward without saying a word. It can be said that he worked hard and tried his best. Others didn't know it, but Lu Yu knew very well that he could take the initiative today. In the advantageous situation, Xia Houye and the generals present may not be present, but among the list of indispensable people, Shen Can must be counted, but Lin Fengjin must also be counted! If nothing else, Only by citing merit, Lin Fengjin should be given some face.
In the end, even if the Snake-Eating Army is dealt with, the resentment of the generals will be attributed to Lin Fengjin. Lin Fengjin took in the disabled veterans of the Snake-Eating Army before and has always had a certain influence on the Snake-Eating Army. In this way
Once it comes, its influence will be weakened a lot.
However, just when Lu Yu was about to announce his handling, several messages he had received before suddenly appeared, like a poisonous snake hovering in his mind.
"This man has accumulated a large number of dead soldiers. Wu Zuocheng has 50,000 armored men and 100,000 cavalry. He must obey his orders!"
"The port of Wu Zuocheng covers an area of thousands of hectares. The sails entering and exiting the port cover the sky and the sun, and it is busy day and night!"
"There is faint dragon energy emanating from this person. It is said that he was contaminated by a chance encounter. But your Majesty should know best. Even if the dragon energy is contaminated, it will dissipate in a year and a half at most. How can it last for so long?
?”
"When I return to you, this person seems to be colluding with the Demon Worship Cult. There are many mysteries."
""
Suddenly, after Lu Yu thought of these things, his eyes suddenly turned cold again. This time he also saw that Lin Fengjin had plans to become an official. At this time, Lu Yu suddenly thought of his feelings for Hengbo.
General Tian Wu was kind and gentle, but this man repaid his trust with betrayal!
