Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Five: The Wind Remnants
Chapter 425: The wind blows away the clouds
The Changsheng Army defeated Moling and fell to Li Qing's expectation. If the Changsheng Army, which was gathered with the elite Dingzhou, had been prepared for nearly a year and could not defeat a weak brigade, it would really make him furious. What he could not have imagined was that it was so fast. According to the marching schedule, the Changsheng Army should have arrived in Moling for no more than three days.
"So quickly? Tell me how did the boy Jiang Kuina capture Moling?" Li Qing turned over and got off the horse, asking the messenger with interest. Nuoqia, Tang Hu, and Chen Zeyue all surrounded him, especially Chen Zeyue, and the envy on his face could not be concealed.
The messenger smiled like a flower, and talked about the battle against Moling vividly.
When Li Qing heard Jiang Kui build a nest cart that could make the cavalry climb the city directly, he laughed loudly, "Jiang Kui, this kid, has learned to use his brain to fight, but I have to deal with him when I went to Luofeng last time, he even broke up and ambushed me, and I didn't show me such good things."
The messenger smiled, "Master, you came and went in a hurry when you arrived in Luofeng last time. My general had arranged it. I wanted to give you a surprise to Master, but you returned that night. Wouldn't this be ruined?"
Li Qing smiled, "You will excuse him. Hey, how did you know when I went to Luofeng last time?"
"The villain is General Jiang's personal soldier. The general who followed him to welcome you, General, that day, so I know."
"So that's it, okay, let's continue!" Li Qing said with a smile.
"General Tian is very brave. He rushed to the city and opened a gap in the city wall in an instant. Everyone rushed forward, but the enemy general who was guarding the city was very cruel. He actually used the Eight Niu Crossbow to shoot, and even their own people were shot down. Seeing that General Tian was about to suffer a loss, my general was like a divine weapon from the sky, and suddenly the enemy couldn't hold back..." The messenger spoke when Gao Cailie, but he didn't notice that Li Qing's face slowly became sinister from the beginning, until Chen Zeyue on the side coughed a few times, then he realized that he was abnormal. He stopped talking, but he didn't know where he was wrong. This was the situation at that time!
"Do you feel uncomfortable in your throat?" Li Qing turned his head and looked at Chen Zeyue coldly. Chen Zeyue's heart trembled and immediately lowered his head. Jiang Kui was his immediate superior. Seeing that the messenger was so excited, he didn't know that Jiang Kui had violated the military order issued by Li Qing himself. The braver he described Jiang Kui, the more angry the general would be. Poor this kid thought he was adding glory to his general!
"Go!" Li Qing waved his hand, and the messenger with doubt turned around and ran away, galloping towards Moling. Nuoqia said on the side: "The general should not be angry. In fact, General Jiang is so brave, but it is excellent for boosting morale. The battle of Moling is so fast, which is inseparable from General Jiang's courage!"
Li Qing shook his head, "General is the military spirit, Nuoqia, do you know why I want commanders above the commander to go to the front line to fight in person?"
Nuoqia shook his head and said, "Master, I don't understand. In the past, when we were on the grassland, the generals rushed to the front line to boost morale."
Li Qing shook his head secretly. In this era, it is unlikely that the generals will turn around the concept of leading troops.
"In Dingzhou, a division-level commander with tens of thousands of soldiers under his jurisdiction should be to coordinate planning, centrally dispatch, watch the situation in wartime, and respond to changes at any time. The situation in wartime changes rapidly. How can the pre-war deployment be fully predicted and responded? At this time, the commander needs to make timely changes, otherwise one move will be wrong and the whole game will be lost. If it is like Jiang Kui, he will fight hard and fight on his own. Once the situation changes, how can he handle himself? He is in the battlefield, how can he discover changes and respond in time?"
"The Grand Marshal is right!" Nuoqia nodded.
"This is one of them. Secondly, on the battlefield, danger can happen anytime and anywhere. No matter how brave you are, a cold arrow can kill you. The soul of the future army, the highest commander of a unit, is killed in fierce battles, and the morale of the troops can be imagined. In history, many of these battles were defeated by the accidental death of the highest commander, and we must not be careful."
"Third, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general. Is it easy to cultivate a qualified commander? How many soldiers' bones and blood are needed to allow them to accumulate enough battlefield experience. Death for no reason is not only irresponsibility to themselves, but also blasphemy to those heroes who died for them."
"One general succeeds and thousands of bones are tiring!" Li Qing made a loud summary.
The generals around were all silent. Li Qing's words had a great impact on them. While Chen Zeyue was chewing on Li Qing's words, he secretly worried for Jiang Kui that the general was raising this problem to such a high level. He was afraid that General Jiang would not be able to escape with a heavy punishment. He thought in his heart that he had to send a letter to General Jiang so that he could be mentally prepared. However, after all, he had won the battle and he would not have been punished too much!
"Set out!" Li Qing turned over and sighed in his heart. Although he was working hard to cultivate Jiang Kui, his country was easy to change and his nature was difficult to change. After all, Jiang Kui was just a brave general who charges and is difficult to become a commander who can stand alone like the mountain wind.
At this time, Jiang Kui, who was leading the Changsheng Camp excitedly, was chasing Xu Ji in the two battalions of the Tornado Camp, naturally did not know that Li Qing was furious about him being bare-handed. At this time, he was excited and chased the soldiers who escaped from Moling like a rabbit.
In the Battle of Moling, the soldiers in Luzhou were not very injured or injured. There were 20,000 Luzhou soldiers, and there were 14,500 as Xu Ji escaped. However, the morale of the army was completely dispersed. In addition to the thousands of former Luzhou regular troops who followed Xu Ji to escape, the 10,000 new troops had already been in chaos. The soldiers were not seen, the generals were not seen, the soldiers were not seen, the soldiers were thrown away, and the weapons were pierced, and all the things that affected the speed were thrown away, and they ran wildly. When they saw the water flowing into the water, they ran away from the mountains.
But how could the two feet run past four hooves? What's more, Changsheng Camp and Tornado Camp have eight hooves. Seeing that most of the Luzhou soldiers could not escape, they simply hugged their heads with their hands, squatted down on the spot, and surrendered.
Jiang Kui turned a blind eye to the surrendered Luzhou soldiers, and his eyes were only aimed at Xu Ji's troops who were still escaping. The whirlwind camp was really like a whirlwind, running past the surrendered soldiers.
The Luzhou soldiers, who watched Jiang Kui's troops rolled over from him in a daze, only realized that they didn't care about them at all. The Luzhou soldiers who had figured it out did not flee, but instead walked leisurely and walked forward in a leisurely manner.
A strong wind gust broke out from behind, and Wang Yan's Changsheng Camp followed the Tornado Camp. The deserters also had experience and immediately squatted down again with their heads in their arms. It was not that Wang Yan's Changsheng Camp's combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Jiang Kui's command, but that Wang Yan saw Jiang Kui running away. Seeing the deserters in Luzhou all over the mountains, he could not ignore it. He had to arrange a wing to sweep the tail behind and gather the deserters. After all, he was already behind Jiang Kui for dozens of miles. He was afraid that Jiang Kui would make any mistakes. Wang Yan rushed the Changsheng Camp and chased them in the direction of smoke and dust.
A scene appeared in the wilderness, which may be a miracle in the history of war. Hundreds of Luzhou soldiers in gray clothes hugged their heads and squatted on the ground. Sometimes there were only a dozen Dingzhou cavalry guarding them, and at most there were only a few dozen. Wang Yan Changsheng Camp had only one thousand cavalrymen on one wing, but now he has chased Xu Ji for hundreds of miles. There are more and more surrendered troops along the way, and the guards are getting thinner and thinner.
During this period, not only did the surrendered Luzhou soldiers feel murmur in their hearts, but the winners are also playing a slight drum. You have more than ten people to guard more than a hundred prisoners. If these guys start a sudden attack, then you have no other way except to escape quickly with the horse. People on both sides are very nervous.
Fortunately, this kind of life did not last long. When it was almost dark, Tian Feng led a battalion of infantry to finally catch up. These infantry were riding some camel horses, and their feet were far stronger than those of the cavalry. In addition, it was very good that the infantry could ride on horseback, and you could not ask them to have the riding skills like the cavalry.
After gathering the surrendered soldiers, Tian Feng was surprised to find that the surrendered soldiers had exceeded 5,000 at this time. He was cautious and chose to set up camp. He first took the prisoners and waited for the subsequent troops to arrive before taking the prisoners back to Moling. At the same time, he sent a messenger to Jiang Kui's troops ahead and asked Jiang Kui to slow down.
The wing of the cavalry in Changsheng Camp, after handing over the surrendered troops, hurriedly went to chase their commanders.
The unlucky Xu basically thought that the other party had occupied Moling and had to stabilize the situation before he could march towards Luzhou. He had plenty of time to escape, and he might even gather the troops and rebuild the defense line. However, after running dozens of miles, he was frightened to find that smoke and dust were shattered behind him, and the flag of the whirlwind camp was faintly visible. The killing Jiang Kui actually chased after him.
At this time, the Luzhou soldiers had been brave enough to have a city to rely on and were defeated by their opponents. Now that they had no support for the city, how could they dare to fight in the Dingzhou cavalry? They had no other thoughts in their minds except for running wildly.
Xu Ji was wrapped in a chaotic army. In order to reduce the load on the war horses, he had already taken off his armor on the way to escape. At this time, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn, and he became a disciple of the Beggars' Sect.
"General, General, Dingzhou soldiers stopped ten miles behind him!" An officer chased after him and reported to Xu Ji in a daze.
Hearing this, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. He looked at himself and the soldiers around him. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was holding a steel knife in his hand, and many soldiers even threw away their weapons. There was nothing but the war horse under his crotch.
