Chapter 9th Elm 20

Although, the invading enemies and the flood have retreated together.

But outside the eastern suburbs of Luodu, the mud and dirty ground was covered with mud and dirty, except for some of the horses and broken walls that had not been knocked down, the original location and traces of the camp were no longer visible.

The moats, which were soaked inside and outside the wall, were filled with dirty debris, and the bodies of people and horses that were vaguely washed over were swollen quickly, attracting a large group of buzzing mosquitoes and flies.

Through the subsequent efforts of the remnants of the front army, nearly a thousand survivors were finally recovered, most of whom were broken former soldiers;

However, most of them were covered in mud and their hands were empty, but they gave their armor and uniforms that never left their bodies. The comrades who came to rescue and responded were all dejected, ashamed, or resentful.

This sudden defeat was inexplicably a blow to their optimism and light victory that had always been permeated in the army, and their reserved emotions were blown away.

Unexpectedly, the enemy army dared to invade the world's worst. At the cost of river water pouring into the city, they risked to dig upstream of the canal, which had been surging due to heavy rains for several days.

Then there was the drama of flooding the Seventh Army. After the Zhenxiong Army encountered the enemy, he panicked and sought help, but the front army that came to pick him up also tricked him into it.

As a result, the flood that broke out from the shore had a vast force to destroy the defense line and battalion of Zhenxiong's army, and the front military headquarters that came to support were also submerged.

The so-called medicines, supplies, muskets and guns are mostly submerged or wet and cannot be used again.

Although this flood that came and went quickly only flooded most people's thighs, the damage caused by the personnel was almost minimal; it destroyed and dismantled the layout and defense lines in the camp, and at the same time, the enemy suddenly appeared outside the camp became the most fatal blow.

They used firewood and wood boards that had been prepared in advance to force several attack passages in the mud and water all over the ground.

Then these enemy troops entrenched in the north of the city, crossed the water and mud flats with short-blade light troops, and easily defeated and dispersed most of the camp outside the city.

The Weining Army, who was stationed at another city gate, was slow to respond and missed the opportunity to fight, exacerbated the disaster and consequences.

They almost sat there and watched, losing the sharpness and long-range suppression of the firearms, but could only fight with the enemy in close combat. They fought hard in the mud and fought many times. Finally, before the support of their army arrived, they were defeated by the superior enemy.

Therefore, after almost half of his strength was lost; as the head coach Wei Chen, the method of handling the situation in front of the formation was also quite strict. Not only did he order the Weining Army commander, deputy commander, left-right commander, branch commander, etc., and he was responsible for several military sticks, fined his salary for three years and reduced his rank for five levels, deprived of all meritorious rewards, and left his post to continue to redeem the military school;

A thousand elite troops were allocated from the Weining Army; together with the remaining troops that were dispersed and collected after Zhenxiong Army were all incorporated into their own lineup for listening effects;

Then, in order to fill the defective defense line, the Central Army invited a dissatisfied army from the Central Army to move to the eastern suburbs. By the way, two thousand gunmen were also sent to supplement and explain to the front military headquarters with more than half of the losses;

Such a series of backlash and disposals finally suppressed the aftermath of this matter. However, in the short term, the three armies and units of the Henan Expedition Army were greatly damaged and the attack was no longer in an attack.

Moreover, the rifts and barriers that arise within it will not be so easy to eliminate in a short period of time.

Of course, Suo Chao, the vanguard general who was transferred to the central army, was also one of the most affected people, because he found that his old army was gone overnight.

Then he was promoted to the newly established vanguard, and the power of the general of the general of the general of the sect, Zasuka, was established...

And in the Northern Army camp, there was also a jubilant atmosphere, and even the Marshal's Mansion of the Army quickly sent encouraging and rewards.

"The so-called invincible thing is nothing more than that..."

"Without the firearm, nothing is gone..."

"Ride in the rain, they collapsed in a few seconds..."

"It's a pity that the ground is full of water and mud, something has been flooded..."

"Apart from a few flags, there is nothing decently seized..."

Amid the various discussions in the military tent,

As the protagonist who led this victory in the east of the city, he had just won the title of a thousand households of Boling Housing. The second-rank special member of the two-rank special member Yang Keshi was also receiving congratulations and congratulations from his side, but he was still a little unfulfilled and a faint regret.

Because, after all the troubles of planning, the final results and victory were not achieved completely; from the seized flag, it was only the order of defeating and annihilation of the Southern Army, and it was entrenched in the east of the city.

What made him even more concerned was that the Southern Dynasty gun army that he had encountered and defeated this time was obviously different or even far from the Huai army he had contacted in the past.

At least, there are more dogmatic tactics and constituencies in encounter battles. They only want to stand together and protect themselves on the spot instead of actively looking for opportunities to recover the situation and decline; and the fighting will and tenacity are not so lasting, and there may be some courage and training, but in terms of experience and opportunity in battle formations, they will lose slightly better than their subordinates.

You should know that once the Huaidong soldiers in his impression were approached, they dared to raise their guns and stab each other in groups, actively launching a hand-to-hand recoil against the enemy, and to gain time and buffer for the rear team to set up formations and counterattack.

Of course, out of some political correctness, he could not openly reveal this mood and thoughts, but could only use relatively unfathomable acquiescence and silence to confirm and strengthen this slightly exaggerated impression and result.

After all, as the local military order in Henan, there are many military generals who directly or indirectly commit Huai-phobia, including almost most of the generals under their command, Yang Keshi and Zhang Dekun.

Without this miraculous victory as inspiration, they might not even have the courage and determination to face the famous "invincible" head-on.

The defeat of the Divine Bian Army, who was also a gun weapon army, seemed to indirectly prove this result and rumors. Now, it is finally because of Yang Keshi's military miracle of risking military use, and he has won a good battle from his morale.

After saying goodbye to the busy and busy life, after returning to his garrison, an ugly-looking personal soldier next to Yang Keshi took a message.

Yang Si, the Minister of War, came to visit him? He was slightly surprised.

After all, it seems that it is a very distant thing to do about the boss who has supported him, several long-time generals, and the corresponding imperial sect.

As for the Minister of War who was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass and allocating civil servants, I have met several times over the years, but there are few intersections apart from this.

Of course, Yang Si did not have any simple and profound conversations during the meeting. He seemed to be just a simple reminiscing about the past and making friends, and recalled the people and things he was familiar with.

Then we talked about a matter and a case.

However, the storage in Hanjiacang City was different from the allocated amount, and they repeatedly sued the imperial court. As the Minister of War who assisted the Marshal's Office in supervising the food affairs, he realized that there might be some disadvantages in it, so he asked for an in-depth investigation from the Marshal's Office.

However, the resistance that may be encountered within is not small. I hope to borrow several hands from him as a driving force. It is best to be a brave and meticulous man from other places, who is used to blood in his hands.

To deter those who are in vain, it is also to protect any relevant evidence; after all, he, as the Minister of War, only some station and squad can be used to defend the enemy.

Everything seems so reasonable, without any problems or endings, and even the seconded official documents and seals are available.
