Except for dozens of seriously injured and sick people who stayed at the temporary stronghold to look after the horses, the rest of the people followed Gai Jun to fight. After the first battle, only 800 people were killed, which meant that more than 100 of our own people died tonight.
He knew that some people were just injured or accidentally fell off their horses, but he was unable to take them with him. He kept comforting himself in his heart and said: This is war. However, he still couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart. If he didn't insist on the night attack,
Will they not have to die?
Gai Jun found that his whole person had changed since he led the army. Not only himself, but Gai Yin and Guan Yu also noticed it. The latter had been in contact with him for a long time. In Guan Yu's impression, he had always been a humble person.
Human beings have become... at best, he is decisive in killing people; at worst, he is dictatorial and does not listen to others' opinions. Gai Yin has lived with him for many years, and his feelings are deeper than others.
Gai Jun couldn't help but wonder if he had suppressed his personality too much in front of his hometown elders and Luoyang dignitaries, which caused him to rebound so violently.
Will he become a pervert in the future?
The Han army returned to the temporary stronghold, put on their horses, and rushed to Shegu Mountain overnight, trying to cross the river before noon tomorrow. The situation made them unhurried. According to Guan Yu, he killed two prominent Qiang people. How could the Qiang people just give up?
After riding until daybreak, everyone dismounted from their horses, ate some dried meat, rested for a while, and then hurried on their way, arriving at Mishui at noon. After crossing the river, everyone felt at ease. Although they were not Han people traveling thousands of miles south, the Qiang people were not strong either.
, unlike Hebei, they were on tenterhooks all day long, for fear that some Qiang chief would not like them and would lead a crowd to besiege them.
Gai Jun sat on his horse and looked back at the muddy water, sighing in his heart. There was no need to increase the number of troops. As long as all the 800 men under his command were replaced by elite Han troops, and they attacked halfway across the river, the Qiang people would definitely suffer another heavy loss.
After traveling less than ten miles, more than ten riders suddenly came rushing toward us, all dressed as Han troops.
Is it our own reinforcements? Everyone cheered instantly, they also had reinforcements.
The dozen or so cavalrymen rushed to the front of the army and dismounted. The leader clasped his fists and said to Gai Jun: "The chief of a certain northern captain's department has met Gai Junshi."
Gai Jun suppressed his surprise and asked: "How many reinforcements have come in total? Who is leading the troops?"
The commander replied: "General Huangfu County and Captain Geng led more than 4,000 cavalry into the Qiang land. The forward 1,300 cavalry are not far behind. It will take two days for the infantry to arrive."
"Great, take me to see the Pioneer Chief quickly."
Within two moments, the two armies met at one place, with thunderous cheers and joy. What made Gai Jun even more happy was that the several hundred men he assigned to Fu Xie were with him in the army. Except for the seriously injured, they could not come.
All those who arrived arrived.
Gai Jun turned his attention to the Pioneer Chief Officer. He was about thirty years old, with a strong torso, rough appearance, and a full beard. He had a military aura. The two exchanged a few words, and he introduced himself as Qu,
Zishan, named Zishan, was born in Jincheng County, Liangzhou, and is now the Sima of the Beidi Duwei Department.
Gai Jun looked at Qu Yi quietly. Is he Qu Yi? Yuan Shao's number one general in the future? Qu Yi who defeated Gongsun Zan, who was invincible across Yan, Zhao and Qi, and guarded Yi Jing and did not dare to come out. No wonder he is from Liangzhou.
In the future, he will be in Jizhou, most likely staying in the Central Plains with Huangfu Song after he put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Qu Yi was very good at using soldiers, but men like Yan Liang and Wen Chou were scum in front of him.
Qu Yi said: "From the county government, the captain's department heard that the Qiang people invaded Lingzhou County. General Huangfu County and Geng Duwei immediately mobilized their troops, but when they arrived at the same time, the Qiang people had already retreated. Everyone heard from the chief of Lingzhou County that Chang Shi
Yangchen defeated the enemy, and all of them were sincerely convinced. The general Huangfu also said that Chang Shi's "talent of Wu Qi" was worthy of his name, and he would become a famous general of the Han Dynasty in the future. Because he was worried about you entering the Qiang land, and fearing that something might happen to him, the general Huangfu led his army to the north.
After walking two hundred miles, I ran into Fu Nanrong of Lingzhou. I learned that you attacked the Qiang village at night, killed thousands of prisoners, and continued to chase the thieves in depth. Everyone was dumbfounded, and they only had two words of admiration in their hearts."
Gai Jun shook his head and said: "I'm ashamed. Because of my willful behavior, I made you and others travel thousands of miles..."
Qu Yi said sternly: "What Gai Changshi said is wrong. Changshi plans first and then fights, defeating the powerful enemy and greatly increasing the prestige of our Han army."
Gai Jun smiled bitterly, even though he was so majestic, he was chased like a lost dog.
Qu Yi asked: "What happened to Chang Shi? Did he behead the thief?"
"I was about to kill him, but the other side suddenly came with a large number of reinforcements, numbering between 7,800 and 10,000 people. What can I do?"
"..." Qu Yi looked at the tired look on Gai Jun's face and nodded. Without the right location and people, it would be really difficult to escape...
"However, I didn't let them get away with it before I left. I robbed the camp last night and killed at least one or two thousand people, as well as two Qiang chiefs."
Qu Yi was stunned, looking at him as if he were looking at a madman, and sighed for a while: "Chang Shi led a thousand men with disheveled armor, traveled thousands of miles across the enemy's territory, dealt with ten times the enemy, and still managed to defeat them several times.
Victory, what more can I say to show off my Han Dynasty? I am convinced."
Gai Jun saw that the new army had strong soldiers and horses, so he thought about it, and then suggested: "Now that our combined army exceeds two thousand, do you dare to return to the war?" Fearing that he would not agree, he continued: "The Qiang will kill the chieftain.
He will definitely not give in and will definitely cross the muddy water to pursue him. We will attack him halfway across and we will definitely win a big victory."
Qu Yi thought he was extremely courageous and brave, but when he compared himself with the man opposite him, he realized the difference.
"Brother Qu, don't you dare?"
Qu Yi was full of pride and said: "Chang Shi, don't try to provoke me, I am also a passionate person, so what can I do if I just follow Chang Shi?"
"Brother Qu is brave and brave. I admire him." Gai Jun praised him and said: "Without further delay, let's leave now to avoid being discovered by the Qiang people."
Mishui is surrounded by high mountains and dense woods, which are most suitable for ambushes. Each of the two men took their own troops and hid on the north and south sides respectively. They agreed to follow Gai Jun's orders.
The soldiers were leaning against the big tree, wiping their weapons and talking in small groups about the coming Qiang people. They had deep hatred against the Qiang people, and they had been hunted down terribly recently. They were feeling angry, and now reinforcements were coming.
, without any worries, they were gearing up one by one, determined to make the Qiang people look good.
Gai Jun ate some beef to pad his stomach and fell asleep holding the knife.
The sun gradually shifted to the west, and in a blink of an eye it was already waning time.
Gai Jun woke up from his sleep. Although he didn't sleep for long, he was full of energy. He walked to the forest, pushed aside the withered branches and leaves and looked at the river bank. Seeing that the fields were quiet, he turned and walked back to the forest.
At this moment, the soldiers stopped talking and stood beside their horses with solemn expressions. The forest was extremely quiet. Except for the occasional chirping of birds, the rest of the time was dead silent.
Gai Jun pulled Gai Yin and Guan Yu chatted. Half an hour later, there was a sudden commotion beside the woods. The three of them looked at each other and walked quickly. Halfway through, Guo Rui reported that the Qiang people had arrived at the opposite river bank. The number of people could not be seen clearly because of the distance.
, the initial estimate is between 5,000 and 7,000 people.
"We're finally here." Gai Jun touched the bones and looked at the muddy water from a hidden place.);.
