No one has noticed that there is a red, white and blue silk flag on the north mountain of Huangnixuan. It points to where the dragon's glory goes, clearly showing the direction.
Before Long Hui reached the west intersection, a whistle blew and Shi's army turned out in front, and then several carriages came out. The rear of the carriages faced Long Hui, with green-shirted team members holding crossbows standing on them. 33
"Haha, that's General Long in front of you? I've already said that I won't send you away, and I won't send you away. You have come all the way to come here and it's hard to refuse your hospitality. Why don't you stay as a guest? My Lord may be soft-hearted and spare your life after receiving your kneeling. !”
Shi Dajun always laughed and cursed without restraint, which made Long Hui blush with embarrassment.
"Bah! Where can this bastard dare to act wild in front of Long?"
"General Long, what you said is wrong. You are the general of the Lou family. We, Lao Shi, also served as a school lieutenant under Marshal Liao of Poyang Lake. Now we are following Li Sanlang from the rank of inspector of the ninth rank. Why? Why don't you come and talk about it?" Shi Dajun spoke plausibly and seriously.
"It turns out he is the traitorous general of Polygonum Huazi, a person who sells his goods for glory!"
"No, no, to put it in elegant terms, it's called 'abandoning darkness and turning to light'..."
Long Hui wanted to say more, but the soldiers behind him pulled his sleeve: "General, he is delaying us. Look, the enemy troops are surrounding us!"
Looking around, the green-shirted team came in like waves. "What a thief, you're using such a treacherous trick! I won't talk to you any more, and you guys will rush out with me!" After saying that, Long Hui was about to leave.
Behind him, Shi Dajun laughed loudly and shouted: "You're there, don't leave! Let me touch your head!" As he said that, he jumped off his horse and ran across the water.
It turns out that Shi Dajun is an infantry general who is not used to riding a horse. Fighting on horseback is completely different from fighting on foot. It requires not only martial arts, but also good balance and horse control skills. This cannot be learned by learning.
Although Shi Dajun learned how to march on horseback after joining the Green Shirt Team, the gap between this and combat, assault, and confrontation was just like the difference between a rookie and an experienced driver. Therefore, when he challenged Long Hui, he still chose the dismounted combat that he was good at.
Long Hui was shocked when he saw him rushing towards him. He didn't expect that this black guy could fight with his feet without any fear. If he still only cares about escaping at this time, even if he escapes, he will be laughed at, saying that he does not even dare to take a move from a step general.
Long Hui had no choice but to turn the horse's head again. However, Shi Dajun's foot speed was surprisingly fast. He was originally a water thief, so mud and water were common to him. He was already in front of him while his horse was still falling.
The guards next to Long Hui were angry. Isn't this bullying? Do you think we are all dead? Someone shouted: "You black guy is rude!" Immediately, two lances were fired at him.
Unexpectedly, I heard two "ping" and "click" sounds in my ears, and it turned out that one shot flew and one was broken. Shi Dajun jumped into the air with the reaction force of smashing the gun, and hit him with a heavy stick.
It was too late for Long Hui to make a move. His horse was still sideways and he had not completely turned around to aim at Shi Dajun, so he had to move the iron spear in his hand to block it.
There was another "click" sound, and the iron spear shaft also broke. Long Hui lost his center of gravity and couldn't sit still on his horse. He fell upside down and fell backward. His horse roared and couldn't stand still. He kept falling backwards and finally slipped in the mud.
Long Hui rolled several times before he could avoid being crushed by the fallen horse, but his cloak was under the horse and could not be torn off.
Many knights rushed up to push back the stone army, and several others jumped off their horses to save others. One of them drew his sword and risked cutting off his cloak, and pulled Long Hui out a few feet. Someone immediately took the horse to help him up.
Shi Dajun was forced by the people with swords, guns and clubs. Seeing that the bandits were about to escape, he jumped up and shouted: "Come on, boys, don't let them escape!"
But at this time, Long Hui had already jumped on his horse and fled southward under the protection of everyone. At this time, he was so frightened that he could no longer care about these subordinates.
To the south is the Lianxi River. Originally it was only about twenty paces wide. After the rain, it has now grown to more than fifty paces and is very fast. Because of this, only dozens of auxiliary soldiers were arranged to guard the Lian River.
Long Hui rode his horse down to the river, hugged the horse's neck, threw away his helmet, and tore off the armor, arm guards and shin guards on his limbs. When he reached the other side of the river, he was exhausted and soaked.
Seeing the auxiliary soldiers surrounding him, he drew his sword to resist, and finally broke out of the siege by relying on his horse power. But the people behind him were not so lucky. Only fourteen people escaped behind him, and the rest were either captured, killed, or asked to surrender.
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Li Dan led the guards across the battlefield towards the hill on the other side. There were more than a hundred unarmed men standing at the foot of the hill, watching him approach with a little nervousness.
Gao Hanzi came over to greet him with the Lou Shiming soldier who came to contact him earlier. "Are they all here? Are these all your people?" Li Dan asked immediately.
"As for me, we are all subordinates of the Second Young Marshal. Please be merciful and let us go." The soldier said with his hands in hand.
"I'm not a bloodthirsty person. If Long Hui hadn't been pressing every step of the way, I wouldn't have thought about this killing." Li Dan said.
"Yes, yes, we have seen all this." The soldier quickly bowed.
"If all the people put back are from the Second Heavenly King, what do you think the boss of the Lou family will say?" Li Dan asked him to come closer, leaned over and asked in a low voice. The soldier thought carefully and took a breath.
Li Dan smiled: "Don't be busy now, just think about it quietly here. After cleaning the battlefield, the governor will come and talk to everyone. Those who want to go back, those who want to stay and work with the Qingshirt Team, can random.
We will give dry food and travel expenses to those who want to go back, and the same goes for those under Long Hui. All those who are returning will be released together and have a companion on the way, so that you will not appear to be special. Do you understand? "
"Understood, thank you Sir for your righteousness!"
Li Dan nodded and asked someone to boil some water for them to drink. Then he and the tall man walked side by side to the battlefield. "Long Hui ran away. It is said that there were only about ten people around him." Gao Hanzi smacked his lips and told Li Dan with some regret:
"I didn't expect him to swim over with his arms around the horse's neck. I should have known more people would have been put here! I was careless."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a dragon. If he can run today, he won't be able to run tomorrow. Didn't we catch him twice? As for setting up defenses, he will gain wisdom after every encounter, and he will be able to do better in the future."
Li Dan comforted him and said: "As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, what you have to reflect on now is whether the goal of this battle has been achieved and what the loss ratio of this battle is. If the goal is achieved and achieved with very low casualties, it will be very difficult. Well, it’s a big win!
It doesn't matter if you have some regrets. If nothing goes as planned in the world, how can there be too many regrets in this world? Are you right? "
Gao Hanzi looked a little ashamed after hearing this, crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty is more tolerant, the monk is not practicing enough after all!" Li Dan laughed loudly after hearing this, and hurriedly supported him with his hands and said: "Monk, just look away. Half a bottle It’s empty, so why bother with the word ‘full’?”
Long Hui fell into the trap and his entire army was wiped out, with less than twenty people escaping. After cleaning the battlefield, the Green Shirt Team found more than 360 corpses of enemy soldiers. According to the auxiliary soldiers, nearly 30 people were submerged by the rapid water and carried downstream.
Four hundred and twenty-one were captured and surrendered, and forty-five were seriously injured.
The town police platoon immediately got to work. They first identified 16 people with serious crimes and killed them, and then arranged for the release of 267 people who were willing to go back. The seriously injured people could not be taken away and had to be disposed of all. The remaining horses were divided into auxiliary troops.
The Green Shirt Team also suffered a lot of losses. Since the enemy attacked and resisted fiercely at the beginning, most of the casualties occurred at this time.
Forty-seven people were killed, 29 were seriously injured, and 144 were slightly injured.
Due to the lack of medical equipment and medicines, most of the seriously injured people had difficulty surviving the long journey. They could only suture their wounds, bandage them, and then ask local residents for foster care, leaving medicines, straps, money, and food behind. .
Fortunately, Li Dan had plenty of money, food, and livestock, so he set a standard: each person who fostered a seriously injured person would be given five dan of food, and a donkey or mule. If the person was still alive when he was picked up in the future, he would be given another fifteen guan of money as a reward.
Those who are slightly injured and unable to move can also stay voluntarily to recuperate, and give the boarding house three shi of food and two ounces of money.
Word got out. The seriously injured were quickly picked up by nearby people, and even the slightly injured were left with more than 20 people. The pressure on Xingwu's side was greatly reduced.
"It seems that the medical team needs to be considered." After this, Li Dan discovered that an organization with a thousand people must have a small medical team. Otherwise, if there are a large number of casualties, the medical staff and doctors in each company and platoon will be completely helpless and unable to deal with it.
"Thanks to Xingwu's presence this time, doctors from each company were gathered together to form a medical team to treat the wounded. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say how many people died from infection and blood loss." Gao Hanzi also lamented.
Because Li Dan made a simple microscope, the doctors and nurses of the Green Shirt Team, as well as most senior officers, knew that bacteria existed. They could cause wound infection, ulceration, and spread of toxicity. Some of them could also spread through the air and cause plague in the military. occur.
Therefore, large-scale use of alcohol for disinfection by military doctors has become a common phenomenon, but it has also led to a sharp increase in alcohol consumption.
Gao Hanzi said something that seemed quite "professional" at the time, which impressed Li Dan.
"Don't look at me like that," said Gao Hanzi, embarrassed, "I'm going to help Xing Wu and listen to his teachings."
"Are you going to help him?"
"No, after all, he is still young and can't do things like amputation..." Gao Hanzi sighed.
"It seems that I have to teach more people and more ways to deal with wounds. Practical knowledge alone is not enough! I can't always let your battalion serve as his apprentice." Li Dan laughed and added:
"Let's do it when we get back. Establishing a medical school will also be beneficial to the people. Anyway, we have seized a lot this time, so we will use two thousand taels to do this!"
"Two thousand taels?" Gao Hanzi was startled: "Is it too much?"
"I'm not afraid that it's not enough!" Li Dan told him: "How much does it cost to buy equipment and medicines for medical school? It's not easy to raise a doctor! But as long as they can save the lives of my soldiers on the battlefield, that's it. It’s worth spending thousands of dollars!”
Gao Hanzi nodded: "This is the bodhisattva heart of the Duke." Then he said: "We are going to cross the Cengang River next. The people sent out to check Xing'an County have not returned yet, and there is no news about the prince's motorcade. Should we continue? etc?"
"Let's cross the river first and find a place to camp while we investigate the situation of the convoy and the county town." Li Dan said.
When he looked up, he saw Shi Dajun kneeling on the side of the road with his arms behind his back, his upper body bare and wrapped with a hemp rope, and there seemed to be a cane behind his back. Li Dan looked back and saw a smile on the monk's face.
"Hey! What drama are you singing in?" Li Dan leaned towards Shi Dajun and asked.
"Shitou is at fault, and he is specifically responsible for..." Shi Dajun, who was not very educated, winked at his correspondent and guard sideways, and the guard hurriedly pointed to the bushes around him. "Oh, I'm sorry for you!" Shi Dajun finished quickly and lowered his head in fear.
"What's going on? Are you asking for forgiveness? Why didn't I know?" After Li Dan finished speaking, he looked at the tall man, but he turned away.
"Shitou betrayed your lordship's trust and failed to catch Long Hui. I regret it so much. Please punish me, lordship!"
Li Dan suppressed his smile: "I've treated you like a stinker! You still know how to come here to plead guilty? You are so amazing. You are the only person in the entire army who has fought against this Lord for ten moves. You are so amazing!" He suddenly changed his face. None of the people expected it, and they all suddenly became pale.
Li Dan stopped Lei Jisheng, who was about to come to smooth things over, and asked sternly: "What is the military order given to you? Say it and let me hear it. Be loud!"
"Humble, humble duty, I have been ordered to block Long Hui at the west mountain pass and capture him if possible!"
"Then how did you do it?"
"The humble position blocked the west mountain pass, but failed to entangle Long Hui."
"Why?"
"The humble official wanted to kill him, but he was surrounded by his horsemen..."
"You have a whole company under your command, and are they all watching you being surrounded?"
"In a humble position... I just stepped forward bravely and forgot to give them orders, so..."
"Ha! What a courageous person to step forward! With your bravery, I almost lost my company, and your brothers in the company were almost leaderless, but it was easier for Long Hui to take advantage of the chaos and escape!"
"I know my fault in my humble position, please be punished!"
"You don't know!" Li Dan shouted angrily: "Do you think I almost lost a general because of my heartache, or did I fail to keep Long Hui in the end?"
"Well, a humble position is nothing, but walking away from Long Hui is a big crime!"
"Wrong!" Li Dan jumped off the horse, threw the reins to Xiao Wan'er and came to Shi Dajun:
"Shitou, the first time we met, you abandoned all your troops and came to challenge me. I thought you would wake up after a few mouthfuls of mud soup in the pond, but I didn't expect you are still not making progress!
Let me ask you, how many people were around Long Hui at that time? With your company, can you surround him? "
"At that time... there were more than thirty cavalry around him. It would be no problem for me to surround him with a company!"
"So, this is your problem! You seem to think that fighting the war is only your business, Shi Dajun, right? Others are dispensable? Then I will send you to block the West Mountain Pass. I will ask you to lead a company there. What to do?"
Shi Dajun was speechless, and it took him a long time to swallow his words: "Are you saying that I didn't lead the team in the battle?"
"Can a finger be as powerful as a fist? Shitou, Sir, this is telling you that you are Lian Zheng. Don't forget this at any time." At this time, Gao Hanzi also dismounted and came over, and after finishing speaking, he handed over to Li Dan. :
"The monk also has this problem, causing his subordinates to imitate him. The monk here apologizes and asks the Lord to punish him as well."
"Don't come here and talk to Xini!" Li Dan waved his hand: "Your business is your business.
But you were right to catch Hua Jishui last time. At that time, he was panicked and his troops were in chaos. You have already made arrangements to encircle him from all sides. Therefore, it is a meritorious service to hit the enemy with one blow, capture the thief and capture the king as soon as possible, and reduce casualties. of.
As a general, you should make a decisive decision and step forward when you are sure of victory. "After he finished speaking, he turned to Shi Dajun:
"But Shitou, you didn't do that. You didn't have any orders or arrangements. You rushed forward rashly and got into the battle all by yourself. Only when you were surrounded did you remember to charge forward. This is not bravery, but recklessness and self-righteousness!
As for leaving the entire company to go forward to make a first contribution, it is no different from leaving the post without permission! "
"Sir..." Seeing that he was getting more and more powerful as he spoke, Lei Jisheng hurriedly took half a step forward, but was stopped by the tall man.
"Shi Dajun, do you accept what I just said?" Li Dan asked coldly.
Beads of sweat fell from Shi Dajun's head. When he heard the question, he kowtowed on the ground and said loudly: "Stone is like a thunderbolt, and I am convinced. Sir, you have taught me the lesson. I am convinced! Sir, please kill this person who has no long memory." The dog head, in order to correct the military law!"
Li Dan was very happy: "Behead you? There is no regulation in our military law that arbitrarily kills generals and subordinates, but it is true that you failed to execute the order and made a major mistake in command. Regulator!"
In the distance, Liao Cunguang, the governor of the platoon who was standing near the released prisoners and watching the distribution of travel expenses and dry food to them, heard a voice shouting in succession: "Compressor, come forward, your Excellency is calling you to come over!"
He hurriedly ran over and saluted: "Second Lieutenant Liao Cunguang is here!" He was born with a high voice, and when he was a waiter, he practiced and his voice could be heard even hundreds of feet.
"Cun Guang, my inability to execute orders resulted in major mistakes. What punishment do you recommend?" Li Dan asked with a straight face.
Liao Cunguang glanced at the pitiful Shi Dajun kneeling on the ground and thought, isn't this asking me, Liao Er, to sit on the wax? His mind quickly changed and he quickly answered:
"Sir, it depends on how much adverse impact it has on the battle situation and the highest deployment. If the impact is not big, the seventh or eighth army can teach you a lesson. If it is serious... kill him!"
Li Dan said nothing after hearing this.
At this time, Gao Can and Qin Han heard that Shi Dajun had committed a crime and came over. Upon hearing the word "kill", Gao Can pushed through the crowd and broke in, shouting:
"No, no! Sir, although this boy committed a crime, he did not let the enemy go and guarded the West Mountain Pass. Besides, his performance in the past was not bad, and he will not be punished by death!"
Qin Han didn't hold him back. When he saw him talking, he didn't say it or didn't say it, so he had to bite the bullet and hand over:
"My lord, this stinky stone has lost its youth even after his passion. You should teach him a lesson and give him a chance to make amends. It would be a pity to kill him for this."
After saying that, he kicked Shi Dajun: "You guys, why are you still holding your back at this time? Why can't you just give in and kowtow a few more times?"
"Ahem!" Li Dan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Qin, this is not a matter of submission. If Shitou doesn't have a long memory and still does things so recklessly, even if he has the ability, if something comes up, would I dare to leave it to him?
The purpose of punishing him today is to make him remember and understand that he must take care of his brothers in everything and not rely on his strength to make rapid progress! "
After saying that, he looked around and suddenly found many released prisoners watching from a distance on the slope. They were probably curious about how the Qingshirts would deal with their generals, right?
"In this way," Li Dan said, "Today is the first time since the establishment of the Qingshirt team that they have independently fought face to face with an elite and powerful enemy. Although we lost Long Hui, we still won a big victory, which is something worthy of celebration.
A dragon's glory is not worth anything. Just like the monk said, we can catch it twice, let alone a dragon's glory? "Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed obviously, and then listened to him say:
"Our Green Shirt Team has grown from nothing, from weak to strong, from an ordinary militia to the reinforcements appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, from serving as auxiliary troops for the official army to today when we can annihilate an elite cavalry by ourselves. What do we rely on? What matters is discipline and unity!”
He turned to Shi Dajun, who was listening to him with his head held high:
"I am punishing you today not to vent my personal anger, nor because of that Long Hui. I want to use this punishment to warn all commanders not to forget their responsibilities, not to think only of themselves without their brothers, and not to think only of themselves. Make meritorious service!
Do you understand this? "
"Shitou understands!" Shi Dajun shouted excitedly.
"Shi Dajun, as the highest military judge, I sentence you to thirty years of military stick. Are you convinced?" Everyone's expressions immediately changed. Gao Can was about to speak when Li Dan said again:
"Now that we are behind enemy lines, I will give you this military stick to remember, but now I will whip you three times in public. You can offset the rest, or go back and get it yourself from Military Judge Zhong Siqi. How about it?"
Everyone smiled happily and urged the dizzy Shi Dajun to thank him quickly.
Li Dan ordered him to take him to find a big tree to be held in his arms and be tortured. Gao Can shouted that he wanted to execute the person himself, but Gao Hanzi stopped him: "With the law, how can anyone even do it? How is that any different from lynching?"
Gao Can had no choice but to follow him angrily and watched Liao Er whip the three whips severely under Li Dan's order to "fight hard".
Some people died, but not completely...
