Chapter 57 Captives (3)
Duan Mobo's bravery and good fighting skills are as famous as Duan Wenyang, and he has many strategies to make decisions at the forefront, so he is known as "cunning and cunning". In the early years of Yuan Kang, Duan's army intervened in the civil strife of the Murong Xianbei and fought with Murong Wei, the hero of the Murong army. Duan Mobo was a arrow and stone, and ten times beat ten times, leading the elite Duan army from western Liaoning to Changli in Liaodong. Finally, he forced Murong Wei to surrender money to seek peace, and married the daughter of Duan's chief Duan's daughter to show the friendship between the two families. After this battle, Duan Mobo was always regarded as one of the few generals of the Hu Jin tribes in Youzhou. Wang Jun used him as the leader of the elite cavalry in Youzhou. On the one hand, he showed his trust in the Duan army, and on the other hand, he was indeed a favorite.
With Duan Mobo's courage, killing the generals and snatching the flag is nothing more than nothing; but in today's war, his luck was really bad.
During this war, the person responsible for commanding the Xianbei army of Duan's Duan Wu Chen was Duan Ji Lu's son. Duan Xigong was the one who supported his legitimate son to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, there was no room for Duan Mobo to intervene in combat command. When the Youzhou army failed to attack the Dai County car formation, Duan Ji Lu's family ordered Duan Mobo to select the elite troops of his headquarters and circumvent the Dai County flanks, trying to open up the situation with a sudden surprise attack. This task can be said to be extremely difficult, but Duan Mobo relied on his bravery and did not refuse. He immediately selected 300 warriors, removed their heavy armor, and each of them carried a short knife to find a way from the continuous water and water areas.
Few people in the northern border know about water, so this journey is very difficult and if you are not careful, you will be at risk of drowning. However, the Xianbei soldiers have a decisive force. They tied ropes to their waists, hooked up with each other, carefully fumbled into the shallow water area, and with the cover of dense vegetation, they gradually advanced towards the weak rear of the Daijun army. After about half an hour, they really lurked to a close place that was enough to launch a raid.
The Dai County Army had not many troops in this direction, and only maintained a small number of infantry for surveillance. If Duan Mobo's troops echoed the front-end attacking troops, they could give the Dai County Army a heavy blow. Unfortunately, they spent more time traveling through the water and lake areas. At this time, the Youzhou Army headquarters brigade had failed.
The army was defeated, what role could a 300-man side division? Duan Mobo had to give up his plan of surprise attack and ordered his subordinates to flee in all directions to survive. He himself chose to lurk in the endless reed marsh, intending to wait until the Daijun army withdrew and then search for a way to retreat to Jicheng. However, he unexpectedly encountered Shen Jin who was worried about throwing stones and was forced out.
Duan Mobo felt humiliation himself, so he rushed towards Chen Jin with the thought of fighting desperately, but Chen Jin did not want to separate life and death. In his opinion, Duan Mobo was a noble chief of the Duan Xianbei, and was awarded the position of General Hengye by the imperial court. He was one of the chief generals of the Youzhou army who went north to the grassland. He was listed so many titles one by one, and he only wrote the two big words "military merit" on his face. I think if he could capture this person, he would definitely get a lot of benefits from him. So he retreated and shouted and called out all his personal soldiers. Duan Mobo knocked over the two of them together, but he couldn't resist dozens of people rushing up, holding his legs and pulling his shoulders, and was immediately unable to move.
Duan Mobo was still angry, shouting loudly and scolding, scolding the Dai County Army for being timid mice, who dared not show up fairly. The personal soldiers of Chen Jin's subordinates all knew that they had caught a big fish this time and were in a good mood. At first, they laughed and laughed as a joke, but later they became bored. The soldiers from Dai County were frightened by the power of the powerful Xianbei tribes in the eastern region for a long time. They were originally quite afraid of the Duan team, but at this moment they were in a great victory and the soldiers were very angry, so they would not take this noble chief of Duan team seriously. So someone dug up the black sticky river mud and stuffed it into his mouth. The whole world suddenly became quiet.
Duan Mobo, a few generals in the Youzhou army, was personally captured by General Chen Jin, who served as the reserve force of the entire army. After the news spread, it was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. However, the soldiers of Dai County who were busy cleaning the battlefield everywhere did not envy Chen Jin. Because of this, the capture of the past was too rich, and each soldier had enough gains. The anxious soldiers used their fingers to calculate the rewards they could get with their fingers, as if they had completely left the tragic battle behind.
The captured prisoners were about 3,000, most of them were slightly injured, but they were not hindered from their actions. During the process of cleaning the battlefield, the Dai County Army directly killed all the seriously injured enemy soldiers. The remaining prisoners still needed to be identified, and the Jin people in Youzhou were gathered together, while the Xianbei people gathered together. During this process, some prisoners tried to make trouble, but were killed in a group. Even though they were originally warriors who were good at fighting, they were already unarmed and were no more difficult to deal with than killing a chicken.
On this battlefield alone, roughly estimated that there were nearly 10,000 war horses left by the Xianbei people, and various armored weapons were piled up like mountains. A group of fine soldiers also found several vehicles in the Youzhou Army's main formation, and the cars were loaded with gold pearl treasures that Wang Jun had probably prepared to reward, and there were quite a few.
On a high slope, the soldiers temporarily cut down trees and built a simple fence. Many soldiers carried their harvests in and out in a row, sorting and stacking materials.
Xue Tong sat cross-legged in front of the only entrance and exit on the front of the fence. Sometimes he looked at his subordinates' busyness, and sometimes he held a well-made fish-scale armor in front of him, frowned and looked at it carefully. This armor was made of hundreds of stainless steel scales made of ropes. Not only was it difficult to hurt swords, but the smooth surface could also remove sharp weapons such as arrows and spears. After being matched with a substrate of mature cowhide, it would not hinder the wearer's movement. With the production craftsmanship of the Hu people in the northern border, such a treasure must have been created. It must have been written by the skilled craftsmen of the Central Plains and flowed into the grassland.
After Xue Tong killed a Xianbei warrior in the battle, he stripped the fish scale armor from him. Therefore, the chest of the armor was pierced by a long spear stabbed at close range, and it had to be repaired before it could be used. Now I think that the one who can wear this kind of armor must be the great commander among the Xianbei people. Unfortunately, the killing was smooth and stabbed him through with a spear, without asking him for his name.
There was also a row of large swords shining with cold light next to Xue Tong. The various weapons on the battle formation were extremely depleted. For example, Xue Tong used two long swords to cut them repeatedly, and the gaps in the blade were like saw blades. This made Xue Tong particularly miss the family-born "Seventy-Two Refining" steel knife lost in Yecheng, but at present, he could only choose and make the most excellent slings in the seizure for the time being.
Chen Jin turned out from behind Xue Tong with pride, looked at the various weapons in front of Xue Tong, and shouted loudly, "Oh, old Xue, take advantage of the opportunity to clean the battlefield and search for good things for yourself for personal gain!"
With Xue Tong's status, it's all about choosing a few weapons first. Chen Jin was naturally joking. As he said, he picked up a heavy sword with his toes in his hand. After waving it twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, rubbing the back of the knife and marching.
"This knife is called 'Bu Guang'. The knife is five feet long and is suitable for fighting on horseback." Xue Tong was born in a general clan and has a family history. He is a master of various martial arts. He glanced at the inscription on the knife and said carelessly: "This knife is a masterpiece made by contemporary Luoyang military weapon supervisors. It should be carried by the Jin generals from the Central Plains in Youzhou Army. If you like it, please take it away. Now, these are all ours."
