285 Bleeding Drift
In fact, Lao Huihui felt something was wrong at the beginning. The imperial army usually combines infantry and cavalry, and uses cavalry to charge, raid, flank attack, and infantry to cooperate. Only in this way can the maximum power be exerted...23
Everyone knows that cavalry is good, but the cost of cavalry is too high, and the court cannot afford to support too many cavalry. Besides, the Later Jin is eyeing it and dare not draw too many elite troops. It is really suspicious that so many cavalry do not cooperate with infantry, so Lao Huihui has been holding on his troops. Seeing that it is almost dark, the government army has not taken action yet, thinking that these are just their vanguards, but he did not expect that the other party has been waiting for him to join the battle group before attacking.
"Hurry, pull it, run away." The deafening sound of horse hooves seemed to ring a death knell for himself. Lao Huihui no longer dared to take a chance, so he quickly turned his horse's head and ran away first.
I stayed with the green mountains, not afraid of burning firewood. Besides, I had already transported most of the wealth and money and grain in advance in advance, so there was no need to rush here again. According to this attitude, the court ambushed the heavy troops here, and I couldn't afford to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to the top of the mountain. Isn't anyone calling for General Wang? Wang is a big surname and there are many generals. It's not clear which one is. To say General Cao, it must be Cao Wenzhao, this is the number one fierce man, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao is also a powerful general. "Cao" chased various rebels in Shaanxi and changed his expression when he heard this. It's really the number two fierce man, so of course he ran as fast as he could.
The officers and soldiers were well-trained, all of whom were strong. Not only were they fearless of death, but they also became more and more brave. The mobs formed by ordinary people and exiled border soldiers had long been timid, but they were afraid of being punished by the supervising team. They fought desperately. When they heard the sound of the horns and the deafening sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing, they had already been scared to their faces pale and their stomachs were shaking. Now when they heard the leader saying retreating, it was like hearing the sky. They no longer cared about anything, and they threw down their weapons and flew their legs and ran away.
I just regret that my parents gave birth to two legs.
"Run quickly"
"This dog officer and soldier is too fierce, brothers are tight-knit."
"Wait for me"
The defeat was like a mountain of fall. The battle situation that was still strangled just now broke the balance with Lao Huihui's "tear" sound. The mobs turned around and ran away, rushing to the forefront, without order, and no one curated the aftermath, and "dedicated" the back to the soldiers of Wenchong Qianhu Station without reservation.
"Kill them, kill all these thieves."
"Brothers, avenge the dead brothers."
"To achieve success is now."
"The master has an order to catch the old Hui horse who responds. He will reward the hundred gold officials with three levels."
Tang Qiang, Li Dingguo and others must have missed this opportunity. They were all very energetic, riding horses, waving weapons, chasing and picking guns, and it was as simple as going to the vegetable field to pick vegetables. For a moment, crying and screaming endlessly. The muddy ground was covered with blood diluted by rain, and corpses were everywhere.
The group kept chasing for more than ten miles. It was already dark and it was raining heavily. Lu Haoshan ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops for safety.
In fact, the road is slippery and it rains heavily, so you can't even beat the torch. If you can chase after the enemy, you can't kill yourself and get injured and die. That would be unfair.
"Damn it, let that old Huihui run away. If you chase after him, you will definitely kill them all, and you will be a good deal." After returning from the dark, Sun Xiong said a little resentful.
Dashan nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for darkness, we could have chased these guys for another half an hour. I would be unwilling to let them escape this time."
Lu Haoshan smiled, said nothing, turned his head and said to Li Dingguo, "Dingguo, your injury is okay?"
During the battle, Li Dingguo asked someone to shoot his left arm. He fought to the death and kept chasing him with injuries. He only bandaged him after he came back. Lu Haoshan naturally cared about this future pillar of the army.
"Mr. Xie is concerned. I have been used to these skin trauma for a long time." Li Dingguo said gratefully.
"What do you think of this encounter?" Lu Haoshan cared about his thoughts and asked.
Li Dingguo said solemnly: "It's dangerous, this time it can be said to be a narrow victory. If the old Huihui doesn't attack before dark, we will be very passive."
Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "That's right, if we continue to support the capital, our casualties will be even more severe. The old Huihui can afford it, and I can't bear to leave these soldiers."
"Yes, fortunately, Dingguo used this bluff skillfully, and with the right time and place, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from Lao Huihui's old fox. It would be no exaggeration to say that it was a narrow victory." Tang Qiang, who was standing beside him, said with a serious face.
When we met on a narrow road, there was no way out and we could only fight desperately, because the number of people was different and the advantages could not be used. In this way, if we wanted to win, we must not only be brave, but also use wisdom. Lu Haoshan agreed to Li Dingguo's tactics after just a little thought: bluff.
First, he asked the horse to rest, and ate some things before the war to maintain its physical strength. He also set up a suspicious formation. Without the notice in front of the formation, he rushed into the enemy formation and used all the good soldiers on the "sharp knife". From the beginning, he mistakenly thought that this was the elite army of the court. He had never sounded the trumpet. He was waiting for it to be dark. It was better to act when it was dark. Lu Haoshan had only 800 soldiers in his hands. Five hundred soldiers were sent in front, and the remaining ones were divided into three groups. There were less than one hundred people in the same way, which was not a weather at all. Fortunately, Lu Haoshan had not many soldiers, but there were many horses. Last time he wiped out the fake king of troubled times, and he seized dozens of them from the traitor Fan Yongdou before setting off, with a total of nearly 1,400 horses.
Lu Haoshan's abacus was a joke: Anyway, the food and grass are supplied by the local government, so it's okay to have more horses. You can transport supplies and food and grass for idle business, and use them alternately. Even when there is no food, you can kill horses and eat meat, so you don't refuse the horses. The three huge "ambushers" were empty on the back of the horse area behind. If you beat more flags and make more noise, you will deliberately make the momentum so that Lao Huihui feels that there are many ambushers, and the night is the best cover. On weekdays, loud training also makes his soldiers practice loudly and roar together, and really make the momentum so that Lao Huihui retreats without fighting.
Tang Qiang was right, it was indeed a narrow victory. If he continued to stumble, it would only increase casualties. If he was later, he would scare Lao Huihui away. However, the casualties of soldiers fighting against the Tiger Camp would further expand. If he rode a horse in the dark, it would be suicide. If he accidentally fell down, he would fall. If he fell, he would be a large area. He was afraid that Lao Huihui would find that he was bluffing. At that time, he would not be able to fight to the death with less. Even if he won, he would win miserably.
The time is just right now, so I can say that my luck is pretty good.
Lu Haoshan nodded and asked, "How about the casualties?"
This is what Lu Haoshan is most concerned about. He doesn't have many subordinates at all. He brought them out and carefully selected elite soldiers. Each of them was accumulated with hard work and money. These are the capital for fighting for hegemony in the future. They cannot lose too much, otherwise it would be more than worth the loss.
Zhao Gongchang said with some depression: "Sir, it's dark now, it's raining heavily again without any fingers, and the torches cannot be lit, so it's difficult to count. The living are still counting, and the wounded can only search slowly."
"Get up and pay attention to safety." Lu Haoshan said with a serious face: "As long as we are ours, don't give up as long as you have a breath. I, Lu, will never abandon any of my soldiers, no matter whether they are dead or alive."
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Gongchang's expression changed and he immediately said respectfully.
In the army, many generals do not regard soldiers as human beings, and they are greedy for their merits and deduct food and pay. They do not regard soldiers as human beings for themselves, but only regard them as tools for their promotion and wealth. There are not many generals like Lu Haoshan who love soldiers as their children, and they are worthy of admiration, applause and follow.
This is also the reason why Zhao Gongchang was willing to stay and work hard for Lu Haoshan. Beside Lu Haoshan, Zhao Gongchang found his dignity and value.
At this time, Dashan used a shield to block the rain, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, opened the lid on it, poured out a piece of paper still burning, and blew it with his mouth, and quickly blew the piece of fire, which gave a faint light in the dark night. Someone took out a candle wrapped in oil paper and lit it. Lu Haoshan could finally vaguely see the surrounding environment.
The rain was still falling, but it stopped much more than before. Looking around, wherever the light saw, there were corpses falling from all directions. Because of the rain, there were about ten centimeters of water accumulated on the ground. The water turned into light red blood under the blood. Standing here, it seemed like standing on a blood pool, Lu Haoshan was surprised to see that a flag with the word Cao was actually floating on the surface of the water.
Bleeding and drifting.
These four words mean that due to excessive killing on the battlefield, there is so much blood that the shield can be floated up. This is what Jia Yi wrote in "Theory of Qin" of the Han Dynasty: "Millions of corpses are buried, and blood is drifting." It used to sound exaggerated, but now it seems possible.
Fortunately, most of the corpses of the mob were seen. It can be seen that although there are many people, the quality is too poor.
This is the cruelty of war. On the battlefield, either you die or I die.
"Sir" This is a soldier who came over and asked for instructions: "What should I do with those injured mobs?"
"Kill without any reckoning." Before Lu Haoshan could speak, Tang Qiang had already become a "bad person" for him.
The soldier saw that Lu Haoshan did not express his opinion, and responded and went to execute the order.
Lu Haoshan did not say anything to stop him. In ancient times, medical standards were low. In this environment, it was difficult to treat him. Now Lu Haoshan has limited numbers of people and food. He could not find anyone to take care of them, and there was not much food to support him. People were living in such a low life these days. When they came to rebel, they had to prepare for the wilderness. Besides, these people were called rebels, but who did not do anything that bullies men and women and harms the truth?
In troubled times, you deserve to die.
"Sir, you are tired too, go and have a rest first." Tang Qiang said respectfully to Lu Haoshan.
Lu Haoshan nodded, and under Tang Qiang's escort, he went to the cave next to take a break for a while, and visited and comforted the wounded. Standing here would hinder his subordinates from cleaning up the battlefield.
By midnight, it seemed that God could not see it. The rain that had been going on for almost five days finally stopped. Lu Haoshan ordered his men to light a torch to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
