Chapter 329: The rear

At this moment, the wind direction also changed, and it blew towards the Qian Chuanqian, bringing waves of killing from the Runzhou army. An Renyi's actions of throwing reinforcements to the right wing were like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, completely overwhelming the resistance of the Suzhou soldiers. The soldiers in groups dropped their weapons and flags and fled to all directions of the battlefield. Not far away, a lieutenant supervising battle led four or five personal soldiers to wield their swords, threatening the deserters to go back to resist, but the messy deserters seemed to have not seen them, bypassed his block and continued to escape. In despair, he wanted to kill one or two in the head to establish his authority, but there were deserters everywhere, and he didn't know which one was better to capture. In the end, the lieutenant was swept away by the crowd that collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Qian Chuanqian couldn't help but feel desperate and laughed miserably, saying, "Forget it, this situation is already there. How can you escape? Even if you escape, the defeated soldiers are still defeated at once. How can you still defend the city? Wang Aiya, please protect the governor Li to escape. This is the place where a certain family died." At this point, he wanted to urge the war horses to rush to the enemy's formation to seek death.

Wang Qinian refused to let go and said sternly: "Young Master, this is yours. Although you are defeated in this battle, the Guangling army is still there, and the Navy of the Eastern Expedition is also rushing back and there is still a chance to make a comeback. What's more, there are more than 100,000 stones of military rations in Changzhou City, and there is no count of cloth, armor and rods. If An Renyi is granted, it will be your and my fault. How can you die here?"

Qian Chuanqian was already confused when he heard this and replied: "A family is in chaos at this time. If you want to do something, please let the Wang Aiya make clear instructions."

Wang Qinian then let go of the reins and replied confidently: "You immediately bring your personal soldiers to the central army and protect the governor Li to Changzhou. There are still 700 elite soldiers left in the city, enough to defend Yacheng. After you enter the city, you will disperse all the food to the people, and try to transport the cloth and armor to Yacheng. All the remaining ones will be burned and you will definitely not be left to the traitors. Changzhou Yacheng is very strong, and there is no need to worry about water and food. You only need to persist for half a month, and there will be a turning point."

Qian Chuanqian nodded repeatedly, quickly summoned his personal soldiers, turned his horse's head and was about to leave, but saw that Wang Qinian had no intention of leaving, and said strangely: "Qi Nian didn't go with me, and if he delayed it, he would not be able to leave."

"Young Master, let's go first. The rebels are powerful. Someone must lead the troops to cut off the rear, otherwise everyone will not be able to leave." Wang Qinian replied with a smile while watching the situation of Runzhou troops opposite.

Qian Chuanqian was shocked. He was also a discerning person. Wang Qinian's troops were only a thousand people. Facing the Runzhou army of 5,000,000, it was just a mantis chariot. Wang Qinian's chance of survival could be said to be in the past, but he also knew in his heart that there must be one person who led the troops to cut off the rear, either Wang Qinian or himself. Although he was determined to die just now, he came to his senses and had a strong thought of survival. The words "I'll cut off the rear." came to his mouth but could not say them, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Wang Qinian seemed to guess Qian Chuanqian's intention and said, "At this time, all the troops of our army were exhausted. Only the thousand people in our army were still fully energetic and could take on this important task. Although the young master's military strategy was excellent, he was not as good as a family member's use. It was important to fight with the last general. It was important to welcome governor Li back to the city."

Hearing this, Qian Chuanjia felt a little better. He was already respectful to Wang Qinian and no longer spoke. He whistled and led his personal soldiers to the Changzhou Army Central Banner.

When the money was gone, Wang Qinian also led his personal soldiers to his troops to his troops. When he arrived in front of the formation, Wang Qinian whispered to the soldiers: "Today's battle is no longer possible. If we ask for life, we can only fight hard together and seek survival in death. Since the family has been in war, whenever they advance, they will be in front of them, and when they retreat, they will be behind the palace. Today is no exception." At this point, he kicked off his horse, pulled out his sword and stabbed his mount on the butt. The mount was frightened and ran away with a neigh. He pointed to the horse and said loudly: "Wang rode a horse to kill the enemy, but he did not leave his brothers behind to escape alone. If you have the will of death today, you will be able to seek survival!"

Wang Qinian's subordinates were originally the soldiers who were selected by Guangling, who were very capable and good at fighting. He had seen his army lose repeatedly, and his morale was a little depressed. It was obvious that the general was so brave that he had lost his mind. The military strategy said: "Ten thousand people are united and dominate the world." At this time, although Wang Qinian's subordinates had only a thousand people, they had the desire to escape by chance. The morale was simply impossible to do. The soldiers all used weapons to beat the shields and shouted loudly. Wang Qinian also took the shields and spears from the hands of the side, turned around and stood in the first row, and hit the shields with spears, shouting loudly. With the rhythmic shouting, the thousand people rushed towards the Runzhou army like ships walking against the current.

At this time, An Ren was full of pride and smiled so hard that he could not stop. No wonder he was so happy. Although he had expected the result of victory before the war, he did not expect to win so beautifully. The old fox Gu Quanwu actually used this secret move, and first led his troops to aid Changzhou, but he secretly announced that he hid five thousand soldiers behind the formation during the war, preparing to attack him. Unexpectedly, Mo Ye could have fought so beautifully and finished the enemy in one fell swoop.

It seems that Lu Fang is really a hard-working hand of Gu Quanwu. Gu Quanwu suffered only a few losses several times, all of which are related to him. At this moment, the enemy was defeated, and now Changzhou City can be determined to fight. At that time, he can use the warehouse in the city to recruit soldiers and gather troops, and then return to the army to join forces with Tian Wei to deal with Li Shenfu together. As long as he wins him, no matter how reluctant Yang Xingmi has to admit that the land of Jiangdong is already in the hands of others.

But the commander of Mo Ye on the front line was completely the opposite. In order to control these self-organized elite soldiers, An Renyi, while favoring his food and clothing, he also sent his confidant general Ge Zicheng as the commander. After the general took office, he found that these old subordinates of Lu Fang formed a very exclusive group, which was difficult for outsiders to intervene. Their marching, camping and training, and even military laws were all the same. He wanted to do something several times and touched the dust, and the sand mixed in was also "provided" by others. Fortunately, he had real skills after going into battle. When he was fighting with the enemy just now, he didn't need to do anything. Mo Ye was running smoothly like a well-combined machine.

When they arrived at the enemy's ambush, they quickly responded correctly. The commands of the lords and the marquis of Yu were quick and correct. Although the process was quite thrilling, they finally defeated the enemy without any danger. Seeing the deputy general Jiang Tong who left him aside and gave orders like flowing water, Yu Kong couldn't help but be happy and afraid. Although this Jiang Tong was domineering, he did not take credit for it. The great achievements of breaking the enemy in the battle could not be eliminated, and the lord would definitely give a lot of rewards. But what he was afraid that such an elite soldier had no control ability. Once there was a change, he was afraid that his head would move with the order. Looking at the opponent's thin back, Yu Kong's eyes couldn't help but show resentment.

Yu Kong was thinking about it all, but when he heard the voice of Jiang Tong's ordering to move forward, he was shocked and hurried forward and said, "Deputy General Jiang, the enemy has been defeated. Now is the best time to pursue the deceased and chase the north, why did he order to move forward slowly?"

Jiang Tong turned around, his thin face was full of humility, but only about 30 people. He was originally a surrendered army in Haozhou. Later, because of his steady and fair behavior, he was appointed as the Yuhou in the army and was in charge of military law. This position must have a deep understanding of the unique military law of Lu Fang. Later, after Lu Fang went to Huzhou, he stayed in Danyang because he had already married and had children. Since most of the middle and senior officers in the army left with Lu Fang, he was promoted. Later, he accumulated merits and became the deputy general of Moyedu and became the actual commander of this army.

"General Yu, although the enemy was defeated, many brothers died and injured. Now everyone is tired. It is better to let him move forward slowly and keep his edge so as not to be beautiful if the enemy is poor and rats are eaten by cats."

Yu Kong snorted coldly, and the other party's behavior and courtesy made him unable to express his temper for a long time. He felt very uncomfortable. He also knew that what the other party said made sense, but it was a good opportunity to compete for the morale of the army. He smiled and said, "Deputy General Jiang has long thoughts. He is indeed a good general. But now the enemy has been defeated miserably and it is too late to escape, so how can he fight back? Besides, the brothers have suffered for half a day, but they have not gained any benefits. At the moment, the enemy has been defeated in a miserable manner. There is really a lot of money left behind. We have slowed down, but the rest of the troops will not be polite. Wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

As soon as Yu Kong finished speaking, the faces of the six or seven Moye generals and officials on the side could not help but change slightly. In ancient times, the military pay was small, but the military law was very strict. The soldiers fought hard all year round, tied their heads to their necks, but they had very little income. So generally speaking, soldiers who win had the right to plunder the property discarded by the enemy. At this point, most generals often abide by and even instigate their subordinates to do this. After all, this can inspire the morale of the soldiers and release their pressure. However, this often corrupts the military discipline, so in ancient military tactics there are often "a plundering army that cannot be reused". Yu Kong made a wishful thinking, and if the other party expressed his opposition, it would also arouse resentment from his subordinates. Even if Jiang Tong agreed, Moye generals and officials would also think of his benefits. After all, it was the first one he proposed. This method can be said to be favorable without any expense.

At this time, everyone's eyes were gathered on Jiang Tong's face, but he replied without hesitation: "When Mr. Lu was a general, he once said: 'We are a military man, we should make contributions to the thief, not to make money by making money.' Now that the enemy has not been destroyed, we are greedy for their property, and we are afraid that when the army is defeated, we will lose both our property. The envoy of An clearly sees thousands of miles and is fair in dealing with things. We have broken the enemy's formation in this battle and have won a lot of money. Why don't we worry about not having money? Send the order to order the troops to organize their formation and wait for the enemy. If anyone takes money privately, kill them!" Jiang Tong said at the end, and ordered them to sternly. Yu Kong, who was beside him, snorted coldly and turned back. As soon as he walked out of the crowd, a smug smile appeared on his face: "Jiang Tong, Jiang Tong, let you win a game today, but one day, a certain family will let you spit out all the capital and interests for me."
