Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The magnificent battle of lightning and thunder completely shook the earth, and the birds in the jungle far away on the other side of the lake also flew desperately as if they had encountered an earthquake and natural disaster! Within a radius of more than one mile of Xu Jun's army village, the naval guns on the artillery array and on the water seemed to be shooting out angry flames, and the sky was filled with gunpowder smoke.

Shells flew into crop fields, grasslands, and woods, bouncing on the ground, and muddy water splashed in paddy fields. Among the phalanx crowd by the small river, white smoke suddenly burst out, like a monster blowing out a big mouthful of white steam!

Obviously, the Jiaozhou army had never seen such a battle, and the firepower rushed at them with an earth-shattering momentum from the very beginning. Gunpowder greatly enhances the power of a person, and when the ordinary fights start face to face, Xu Jun has extended the threat of death to the enemy.

Armed elephants fell in the rice fields, and more frightened and ran around. The corpses of enemy soldiers with chaotic armor in the team floated in the creek, muddy and bloody, and it was impossible to distinguish them. Before noon, the Jiaozhou army completely retreated.

Cheers and shouts erupted on land and water.

Facing the drifting gunpowder smoke, Feng Jiye, the forward commander who stood proudly on the horse, looked around and sighed: "The troops in the wild frontier are simply vulnerable! It's over before they can fight!"

Zhang Jiankui said calmly: "It's just that the majestic formation can't compete with the big Xu army. If it hides in the countryside and forests, it may not be like this."

Feng Jiye was still not satisfied, and said: "The enemy soldiers are defeated, they should go all out to take advantage of the victory and pursue them. It is the best way to gather troops and horses to pursue them as soon as possible."

Zhang Jiankui immediately persuaded: "No, we are newcomers and have never been to Jiaozhou before. Beware of ambushes."

Zheng Xianchun, the military supervisor, also said: "Since the invading enemy has been repelled, there is no need to take any risks."

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiye was furious, and looked at them with squinting contempt: "Mother|The civil servants are hypocritical and cowardly, looking ahead and shrinking! General Zhang, I think you are beaten by nature. You dare not do anything except defend the city. You are afraid of wolves and tigers!"

Zheng Xianchun frowned and said sternly: "Mr. Cao asked us to do very clearly. Stand on the stronghold so that we can find out the enemy's situation. Mr. Cao has repeatedly told General Feng to change his temper and not let him down, otherwise no one will dare to vouch for you. Pioneer is not in a hurry to compete with the Jiaozhou Army!"

After hearing this, Feng Jiye sneered and remained silent, but he did not dare to ignore the layout of Cao Bin deployed in the south.

The shouts of high morale from all around are still in my ears, so that the dullness and displeasure here seem very inappropriate.

After a while, Feng Jiye said again: "This general is a rough warrior who doesn't listen to his words, so don't be surprised. But I have seen more soldiers than you. Even if we want to defend, we don't need to stick to the ground. The current situation is good, and the counterattack is also for defense."

He converged Zhang Kuang and anger, and looked at Zhang Jiankui, who had a bearded man with a long mouthful of beard. "It's like General Zhang of Zhang is an honest person. What about you? Just look at it, and everyone can provoke you. No one is afraid to come and step on a punch. Are you fighting for a better way? Chasing half of the city, do you still use tiredness in the future? "

Zhang Jiankui's face turned blue and white, but he was speechless to refute.

Feng Jiye pointed to the scattered enemy soldiers fleeing in the distance, and said, "The people in the Ding Department are so arrogant, they don't show face at all, they just come to see the soldiers! If you don't show them some color, how can we get along? Can we stay here for the rest of the day?"

Even the civil servants didn't expect this man who claimed to be a rough warrior to be so eloquent. He looked at Feng Jiye dumbfounded, and Feng Jiye's words were all nonsense.

Zheng Xianchun: "..."

Feng Jiye thought for a while, and then calmly said: "Isn't Zhang Jianjun going to build a fort, do you need stones for the foundation? I remember you still want to use bricks to wrap the walls, and not use clay for the kiln? I have been knocking these days, and there is no quarry nearby, and there is no good soil. If we just huddle in this tiny place, we can't do anything."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiankui seemed to be persuaded. He was in charge of building two forts, both of which were simple earthen walls built with earth and wood on the spot. This time, some new adhesive ash was shipped in, and he wanted to repair it more decently!

Zhang Jiankui said: "I'm just a lieutenant general, just like Zheng Changshi, I only worry about bad things."

Feng Jiye said: "There is no perfect strategy in war. How can you not dare to take a little risk? Don't worry, this matter is based on my opinion. If you suffer a loss, you can go to Duke Cao to file a complaint, and all the blame will be borne by one person!"

He laughed teasingly again: "Of course, you can't take the credit for the credit."

Feng Jiye did not listen to dissuasion at all, and ordered to gather troops to attack. Although the vanguard army also has a military government, according to the laws of the Daxu Privy Council, the military government has great power only before the army is mobilized. Soldiers, weapons, and military supplies cannot be coordinated without the military government.

Zheng Xianchun wanted to inform Cao Gong as soon as possible, but Cao Bin was far away in Guangzhou (the name of Xingwang's Mansion was inauspicious, so it was renamed), the land route was impassable, the sea route was slow, and the risk of a single boat was extremely high. He is very anxious.

Feng Jiye ordered the remaining people to rely on the warships of the Jiaolong Army to protect themselves, and led the main force of the Vanguard Army to dispatch nearly 3,000 people.

The main warships of the Jiaolong Army could not pass through the inland river, and the water was shallow. So Feng Jiye took all the sand boats and marched along the river, both land and water, and went up the Taiping River.

That night, Feng Jiye chose a place to camp by the river. In the evening, two guards of the Xu army were ambushed, one was killed and the other was injured. The reinforcements didn't dare to chase at night, they didn't catch anything, and they rang the alarm gong again. After tossing for half a night, the soldiers were quite tired.

Early the next morning, Feng Jiye heard the report from the scouts that there was a village or town five miles ahead. He immediately thought about it, and he had a way to retaliate against the enemy. He quickly found a command envoy, and ordered in public: "The town Wuli to the north is a place for thieves to hide in an ambush, you take people to arrest them..." He stretched out his palm and waved it down.

The generals of the Forbidden Army are used to restraining their soldiers, and there was an uproar when they heard this, and some generals immediately said: "Since it is a market, most of them are ordinary people. Are we killing indiscriminately? Military law does not allow it!"

Feng Jiye said solemnly: "We have to be reasonable. A rebel will not pretend to be a commoner, but he will stick a letter on his head. When he sees Xu Jun, he dances and dances, 'I am a rebel, I am a rebel, come and kill me?!'"

The generals couldn't hold back for a moment when they saw his funny face without changing expression, many of them burst out laughing. Many people's attitudes have obviously changed. These warriors are not good at all. After being under Guo Shao's command, they are very restrained. It is nothing more than strict military law and enough rewards.

Feng Jiye said to the generals earnestly: "This kind of rebels are easy to kill, but hard to distinguish. The best way is to raze all the places they go. How can the enemy soldiers hide? Could it be possible to get into the ground? We have to be merciful, and the one who dies is our own brother. People die in war. Are you willing to let the enemy soldiers die, or let your brothers die?"

All the generals agreed one after another, and the commander just now said straightforwardly: "The last general will do it!"

Feng Jiye made proper arrangements and ordered the main force of land and water to move forward. He boarded the flagship of the building in the middle of the river, and when he entered the cabin, he looked at it with great interest... This ship is really more unique than the big tent, and it is a pleasure to live here on the battlefield. There are all kinds of furniture in the cabin, including paper, pen and inkstone, calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls of the ship, and there is even a piano case with a piano on it.

"Please, General Feng." The clerk of the military government bowed, "This ship originally belonged to the Navy of the Southern Han Dynasty. The general should be an arty person. General Feng is a hero, he condescends."

Feng Jiye immediately said: "We have to be reasonable. I don't have much ink in my chest, but I respect Confucian generals who have a strategy, people like Cao Gong. Tsk tsk, you have a good style! You come in and play a song for this general, so that I can also learn to cultivate morality|defense."

When the civil official heard that Feng Jiye's words were respectful, he was very happy, and said: "The villain is bold, I'm afraid it will make you laugh."

The clerk went up to make adjustments, but found that a string of the qin was broken, so he was busy repairing the qin.

It took two sticks of incense to finish it. Feng Jiye sat on the chair with great interest and called the guards to make tea.

"Ding dong..." The crisp sound of the piano finally fell into a song, rippling from the water surface. Feng Jiye looked intoxicated, while listening to the piano, he watched the warships on the river. The black muzzles of the mother and child guns on the deck, the hideous metal dark light, the armored soldiers, and the hunting flags formed a rough and spectacular scenery on the river. Feng Jiye is very useful to such a contrast.

After a few pieces of music, suddenly there was a fire flickering on the river bank, thick smoke was billowing, and there seemed to be noisy screams in the wind.

Feng Jiye stared intently from the window of the cabin for a long time, saw clearly the good deeds of the people he had sent, suddenly raised his head and laughed "haha", and clapped his hands and said, "Happy, happy! I hate being in a nest|sickness!"

The army official who was playing the piano was terrified in an instant, and the sound of the piano was slightly out of tune when he pointed at it. He was terrified of Feng Jiye, and his face turned even paler.

Fortunately, Feng Jiye couldn't hear out of tune at all. It seemed that as long as it was the sound of the piano, it was all arty, so why should he care about the quality of the tune? He picked up the freshly brewed teacup on the table, took a breath pretendingly, and looked up at the tragic scene amidst the blood and flames. He didn't know whether he was tasting the sound of the piano and the fragrance of tea, or enjoying the pleasure of releasing his violent temper.
