"Why, you are so angry? Who are you talking about? Of course whoever replies will be blamed." Bai Zhuo is obviously not afraid of Wang Delao, but he has the support of the Jin Chan Sect behind him. Even Gao Yingxiang has to give in, "Huh, you still have the nerve to be angry.
,
Most of the dead soldiers were members of our sect. You don't feel sorry for me, but I feel very sorry for you. At that time, the officers and soldiers were rushing to help. You should have retreated directly to the west, but you still stayed at Chu River to rest and recuperate. The losses in this battle were so heavy, how could you possibly
Accept the blame."
What Bai Zhuo said was true. Wang Delao was so angry that he was breathing rapidly and couldn't say anything. Gao Yingxiang frowned in displeasure. Bai Zhuo's words seemed reasonable, but in fact they were just looking at things with the benefit of hindsight.
Judging from the situation at the time, there was not much problem with Wang Delao's choice. If he really had to follow Bai Zhuo's words, I'm afraid both man and horse would have to fall down from exhaustion, and then they would be at the mercy of others, without even the ability to fight back.
The fact that Bai Zhuo can say these words further proves that this person lacks actual combat experience and only knows how to talk on paper. Fortunately for people, war horses have endurance limits. Once they exceed the limit, they will be pushed down and it will be difficult to gallop again. "Okay,
You are all members of our rebel army with status, so
How decent is it to yell and scream? The Chuhe incident has been revealed. Although we suffered heavy losses, our unit finally captured Shangzhou City. Even if the merits and demerits are equal, no reward or punishment, no one will be allowed to do it again in the future.
Mention this matter. If you disobey, it will disturb the morale of the army and you will be severely punished."
Gao Yingxiang made it clear that he wanted to protect Wang Delao, and Bai Zhuo couldn't say anything more. He could only turn his head to the side, out of sight and out of mind. With Shangzhou City, Gao Yingxiang needed to plan his next move.
At this time, Orger was also heading to the mountain
Yangcheng retreated and Shangzhou City fell. It was obviously inappropriate to stay in Chuhe any longer. During the lunch break, Orger, Huang Jue and others gathered together to discuss matters. A team leader hurriedly walked in, "Everyone, brothers
Caught a fat man in the grass pit on the west side."
"Fat man? This also needs to be reported? Are you a traitor? Just kill him." Orger curled his lips in displeasure. It was really boring to bother with such a trivial matter. But everyone shook their heads with a look on their face.
He said distressedly, "That fat man is not a traitor, he is from Luonan. He comes from a place called Mumu Town. The brothers thought this man was a little weird, so they detained him."
Others didn't know it, but Huang Jue knew it. He was afraid that Orger would chop up the so-called fat man in anger, so he quickly said, "Generals, let's meet him, maybe there will be some surprises.
"
"That's right. Let's bring that fat man in. Let's see what's different about this Luonan man." There was nothing wrong. Orger also wanted to hear about Mu Town. The name was really weird. He named it Mu Town.
, aren’t you afraid of being set on fire?
Huang Jue and others didn't know whether there was an unexpected surprise, but everyone still felt relaxed after seeing Cheng Shan. Cheng Shan had a fat head, big ears, and a double chin. His fat trembled when he walked.
This picture is cute but also a little festive.
It’s really unexpected that such a fat man is a traveling businessman. He has been in Yan’an Prefecture for a long time, and Orger is familiar with some local conditions. Not only Yan’an Prefecture, but also the entire northwest, due to the war, the currency
Depreciation, inconvenience in circulation, and the circulation of goods has degraded to its original state
This is the age of barter, so for traveling merchants, every time transporting goods is a long journey, full of hardships and obstacles. Traveling merchants like Cheng Shan are among the most ordinary, and they spend all day in the wind.
It’s a miracle that it can maintain such a rich state despite being exposed to rain, dew, and scorching sun.
Cheng Shan was in a nervous mood. He had been having bad luck these past few days. He was dragged from the red pine forest to the Chu River by bandits and soldiers. He finally survived the battlefield, but was caught red-handed by soldiers again.
It has been two days, and Cheng Shan has not been able to close his eyes. He lay down in the grass and depression and witnessed this unprecedented battle with his own eyes. The collision of cavalry was unheard of. Similarly, Cheng Shan also saw the power of the cavalry in northern Shanxi.
Soldiers are arrogant
After a long time, it collapsed under the counterattack of the officers and soldiers. Cheng Shan was really scared. Because the military tent was completely destroyed and the temporary tent was leaking air everywhere, Cheng Shan himself was very scared. When the bleak autumn wind blew, the whole tent was blown away.
People were trembling.
Seeing Cheng Shan's appearance, Orger smiled bitterly and shook his head. Looking at Huang Jue, Orger curled his lips, as if to say, do I look so scary?
"You said you came from Mumu Town, so I have a question for you. How is the current situation in Mumu Town? How is the construction of the Dufeng Bridge in the town?" Huang Jue handed Cheng Shan a kind smile.
Huang Jue gave people a sense of intimacy, and the fear in Cheng Shan's heart was much less. The questions he asked seemed simple, but in fact they hid a mystery. The purpose was to test whether this fat man was a real Muzhen man, but
It is impossible for anyone from Luonan to not know Mumu Town, because Luonan people transport goods
To travel from east to west, one hundred percent has to pass through Mumu Town. Cheng Shan didn’t think too much about it and replied respectfully, “To tell you what, the situation in Mumu Town is very good. When I left a few months ago, the dock
It’s still being expanded. I’ve never heard of Dufeng Bridge, sir. Where did you hear about it?”
Cheng Shan didn't think that Huang Jue was testing him, so he didn't hide anything. Huang Jue had been observing the expression on Cheng Shan's face. Although he looked a little uneasy, he didn't hesitate much when he answered. In other words, Cheng Shan
Shan did not lie. After confirming Cheng Shan's identity, Huang Jue felt relieved. As long as he was not a spy for the bandits, there would be no big problem.
After confirming that Cheng Shan had no problem, Orger waved to Cheng Shan to stand up and reply. In fact, what Orger was most concerned about so far was how the bandits came to Chuhe. "Your name is Cheng Shan, right? I want to ask you a few questions."
The question must be answered truthfully. Since you were walking with the rebels along the way, do you know how these people passed through the red pine forest? As far as we know, the soil near the red pine forest is soft, like a swamp. Although the water level drops in autumn, the soil becomes
It’s a little tougher, but it’s impossible for a cavalry to pass by.”
I'm really afraid of what comes. The last thing Cheng Shan wants to say is this secret. It's not that he intends to make a fortune through this road. Cheng Shan is not a fool. The thieves can pass through the red pine forest silently. He has made the most of the contribution. He can
He said that because he pointed out this road, the officers and soldiers encountered an unprecedented tragic situation in the Chu River. If he told the truth, Cheng Shan felt that he would be chopped into pieces.
It must not be said that Cheng Shan lowered his head, his fat face was wrinkled, and his head was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it. As soon as Cheng Shan hesitated, Orger and others took it to heart. Liu Guoneng held the saber hard and fiercely
He pulled it out and made a cold voice, "Why, you still haven't told the truth? Fatty, listen carefully, you only have one chance. If you don't tell the truth, go see the King of Hell."
Liu Guoneng was already rugged, but once his ferocious face showed up, he looked like a wild beast, and Cheng Shan almost fell to the ground.
At this time, even if Cheng Shan had the guts, he didn't dare to tell lies, so he could only grit his teeth and said, "Generals, you don't know. In fact, there is a road through the red pine forest that can be passed directly.
This road was accidentally discovered by our family when they were doing business in the northwest. But sir, you must think of the villain. I was forced to have no choice but to tell the thieves about this road. I didn't mean to harm you."
As the fat man Cheng Shan explained the ins and outs of the Red Pine Forest Incident, Orger's face became ferocious and terrifying, mixed with deep reluctance. He Orger controlled the world and conquered the Iron Buddha Tu, but in the end, this humble man was defeated.
The fat man got into trouble. Now think about it, those brothers died unjustly. Just because of the fat man’s few words, thousands of people lost their lives. Sometimes small people can really make a big difference.
Based on his previous temper, he would have dragged this fat man out and chopped him up. But now Orger is much more mature. Although he is unwilling to do so, he has not implicated Cheng Shan. Many things are destined by God.
Maybe keeping the fat man will be of great use in the future. If these people are used well, they may be able to compete with thousands of troops. This may be able to use him to get many unexpected gains. "Come here, take this fat man down first."
."
Cheng Shan didn't dare to argue, it was good to be alive. Liu Guoneng and others showed strange expressions, Huang Jue was puzzled, "This fat man sent thousands of our soldiers into the mouths of the thieves with just one sentence. We can't do it without killing him."
To relieve the hatred in my heart. Why did the general not move him and just keep him in custody?" Sometimes Huang Jue was very confused as to whether Org was cruel or kind. Sometimes they were murderous, and sometimes they were kind.
"Cheng Shan is just a small character. Although he gave the road to the thieves, it was just to survive. He just happened to meet the opportunity. If he vents his anger on others randomly, he will be looked down upon. Keep this person.
It's still useful. Isn't he from some wooden town? The Superintendent is currently planning the Baishi River Project. I think he will be needed, so he will be kept for now. Although we don't have much baggage, we still have a lot of his stuttering. "Orger
He didn't go into details, and even he didn't know much about many things.
The Baishihe plan was put on the table a month ago, and only Shen Yongzhong, Xiao Fei, Wang Zuoguan and others knew the specific strategy.
Huang Jue is a smart man. Although Orger didn't say much, he still heard something different from it. The Baishi River Project, when everyone still focused on the west of Tongguan, the Tongguan base camp had already extended its vision to
Baishihe went. From the beginning, Tongguan did not take the enemy's attack seriously. Some people took one step to see one step, and some people took one step to see ten steps. The difference in vision and strategic vision directly led to changes in thinking.
different.
The base camp seems to be cautious, but in fact it is working step by step, laying a solid foundation for future operations. No wonder the garrison in the direction of Shangzhou withdrew so simply. This is to paralyze Li Zicheng's troops and affect their judgment. If Li Zicheng's troops think that
The base camp puts all its energy into fighting the bandits over Tongguan, so they won't think about the safety of Baishi River. If you want to enter Baishi River, you can't avoid Luonan. This is one link after another. It's really...
It's getting more and more interesting. Huang Jue is very curious about what the base camp thinks. Baishihe, Thief Bing, and Luonan are a big game of chess, and the base camp is the player in this game.
The Battle of Chuhe has come to an end. Orger's troops have safely withdrawn to Shanyang City, and Hailanzhu's troops have not been hindered in the slightest. The traitors gathered a heavy force and easily captured Shangzhou City. At least on the surface, the traitors succeeded.
The capture of Shangzhou City formed a strategic containment effect. From then on, the bandits occupied a strong city in the west of Tongguan, which meant that the rogue forces invaded Tongguan in an all-round way. After hearing the news, many surrendering soldiers were a little panicked.
They believed that Tongguan had failed, and only if they failed would they abandon the strong city of Shangzhou.
The people are so eager for peace. They are tired of the war and have finally calmed down. The thieves are coming again. When will there be good days?
The Shangzhou area was too far away from the Chu River, and it was already two days before the news reached Li Zicheng's ears. During these days, Li Zicheng and his rogue soldiers lived a very prosperous life, and there were ownerless grains everywhere.
After harvesting, in just half a month, the bandits made a lot of money. After hearing that Wang Delao captured Shangzhou City, the leaders headed by Lu Weiliang began to get ready to take action again, "General Li, now we have captured Shangzhou City."
, we can attack Tongguan at any time, do we have to fight a dozen? If we still stand still, we will not have an advantage when distributing benefits in the future."
Li Zicheng looked at these leaders with a headache. These people are really too short-sighted. The battle of Tongguan has just started, and the final destination is not yet known. It is stupid to rush to attack now. But these guys have already been caught in front of them.
Blinded by his own interests, Li Zicheng took a breath and said slowly, "King Chuang has captured Shangzhou City, but I am going to ask you a few questions. Do you really understand the Hongnong River and the battle situation in Shangzhou? Shangzhou
How was the city captured? How was the damage done to both sides before and after? Have you done this to understand it?"
Li Zicheng asked several leaders directly with a series of questions. Lu Weiliang thought for a while and said at an even pace, "We have also read the battle report at Tongguan in detail. There were several large and small battles between the officers and soldiers, and six thousand people were injured.
We have lost more than 7,000 people, but considering that we are going to attack the city, this loss is acceptable."
Li Zicheng secretly shook his head. It was just a casualty figure on the surface. This could be regarded as an understanding of the battle report. It was really a joke. Slowly standing up, Li Zicheng took a booklet from the table behind him, "Brother Lu said
It's not wrong. The damage on the surface is indeed like this. The losses on both sides are roughly equal, but we took away Shangzhou City. In this way, we still won a game. But... I would like to
Unlike you, the details of the two battles of Hongnong River and Shangzhou are recorded here. You may not know that the Battle of Shangzhou never happened at all. The so-called Battle of Shangzhou happened on the Chu River.
When the soldiers attacked Shangzhou City, the officers and soldiers sent all the cavalry to the Chu River for reinforcements, and then voluntarily abandoned Shangzhou City. In other words, the attack and defense of Shangzhou City did not exist in a strict sense. You may not understand yet.
, I will tell you in detail. In the two battles of Hongnong River and Chu River, the officers and soldiers lost more than 4,000 infantry and less than 2,000 cavalry. However, we lost all cavalry.
Among them, there were two thousand of our own cavalry, more than a thousand of the trusted cavalry under King Chuang were lost, and more than half of the red-robed army was lost. There is also news, although it has not been confirmed, but I think it is very credible, the real loss of officers and soldiers
There are not even three thousand elites. Most of these elites were lost in the battle of Chu River. After listening to these words, do you still think that the officers and soldiers failed? There are more than 6,000 people and less than 2,000 cavalry. Instead of our army's 7,000
If the lives of many soldiers are called victory, then what is defeat?"
