Returning to the commander's tent, Li Yanxian got off his horse and shouted loudly: "It's so happy! It's so happy! After fighting the Jin army for several years, there has never been a battle as happy as today! Unfortunately, there are still not enough soldiers and horses! Otherwise, it would have ended today. Wu Shu, take back Luoyang City!"
After sitting down at the commander's seat, Wang Xiaolie said to the generals: "Everyone knows that the Wushu soldiers and horses are going to Shaanxi. He came to Ruzhou just to see if he could seize the opportunity to seize the city of Ruzhou. In today's battle, he should give up. ”
The generals said yes.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Chi Yuping's armored cavalry performed extremely well today, and they should be rewarded for their merits. These armors, whether they are people or the horses they ride, are hard-earned. You must cherish them. Okay, Everyone, go back and guard the camp, send more reconnaissance cavalry, and closely monitor the Jin army on the opposite side."
After leaving the commander's tent, Wang Xiaolie called Chi Yuping and said to him: "Today is a great victory. You should also celebrate when you go back. The army will give each of you a bottle of wine and ten sheep, and the soldiers will use some wine and meat." Remember, drunkenness is not allowed! Someone is drunk, but you are the one asking!"
Chi Yuping crossed his arms and promised, happily leading the soldiers to receive wine and sheep. Now during the war, meat is not uncommon in Wang Xiao's hunting army, but it is rare to drink a drop of wine. Drunk is not allowed in the military camp, everyone is already used to it.
Back at his residence, Wang Xiaolie invited Li Yanxian and Niu Gao. He said to them: "We have won a big victory today, so let's spend some wine and meat. I guess it will be difficult for Wu Shu to stay, and I don't know when he will leave."
Niu Gao said: "Today it's so satisfying to see the armored cavalry go into battle like chopping melons and vegetables!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Heavy armored cavalry and light cavalry confront each other in front of the formation, just like an adult bullying a child. It's natural."
While talking, the three people entered the handsome tent and chatted about the morning's competition. After noon, Zhai Cong arrived and congratulated Wang Xiaolie.
Please sit down with Zhai Cong. Wang Xiaolie said: "Wu Shu is here to give us a warning, and he will not fight. After today's battle, Wu Shu must have something on his mind. I estimate that the Jin army should withdraw in a few days." "
Li Yanxian said: "It's such a good opportunity, but it's a pity that we can't have a big fight with the Jin Army!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "Why be impatient to observe? One day, there will be a war with the Jin army. Now the imperial army only has about 200,000 people from Shaanxi. If the army of Shaanxi is not defeated, the Jin army will not rest assured. "
In the past, it was Lou Su who was in charge of the Jin Army's war in Shaanxi. Although they won consecutive battles, they could never capture the city. Occupy today, rebel tomorrow, the Jin Dynasty is not satisfied with Lou Su. This time we sent Yinliduo to Shaanxi to completely occupy it.
Several people were chatting about the recent situation and were a little excited. Regardless of the outcome of the next battle in Shaanxi, with today's victory, the surroundings of Luoyang are already safe. This is especially true since the Zhai family has fewer troops.
It was getting dark. Wang Xiaolie said: "It's rare to win a big victory. Let's celebrate with some wine and meat tonight!"
Zhai Cong said: "There is a ban on alcohol in the Suppressing and Fu army, unlike other armies where drinking is a pleasure."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Drinking in front of the battle can easily cause trouble, how can you let go? As long as you get used to it, it doesn't really matter. Just like Niu Zongzhi, he has always been happy without drinking. In the army, he is used to it and knows that he can't control it. An accident occurred due to drunkenness.”
Niu Gao smiled bitterly: "The police are strict about this matter, what can be done? At the beginning, I felt like there were ants crawling in my heart, I don't know how uncomfortable it was. As time went by, I gradually got used to it. As long as I entered the military camp, I would I don’t drink, and I finally stick to it.”
Wang Xiaolie said: "Don't think this is a trivial matter. If the army wants to win the war, it must start from these small things, bit by bit, and persist in strictly observing discipline. As long as you can persevere, you will eventually become a strong army!"
Zhai Cong and Li Yanxian didn't think so. They looked at each other and smiled. At this time, wine is an important means of boosting morale. How can we do without drinking in the military camp? As long as the coach knows what he's doing, it's hard not to make mistakes.
The soldiers set up a fire in the yard, put on an iron frame, and killed a sheep to roast. Things are done roughly in the military camp, and this is my favorite way to grill meat. It is easy to make and enjoyable to eat. The soldiers prepared some more fruits and placed them on the table.
Wang Xiaolie invited several people to sit down, eat fruits, drink wine, and wait for the meat to be roasted.
In the Jin Jun commander's tent outside the city, Wu Shu's face was ashen and he sat there silently. Han Chang stepped forward and said: "Mr. Lang, after today's battle, I realized that Wang Xiaolie is different from others. He occupies Xiangyang and Dengzhou, both of which are prosperous places. He has a lot of money and food in his hands, so he can have such a strong armor." Cavalry. We were unprepared when we came, and there was nothing we could do to him for a while."
Wu Shu sighed: "I can see clearly that Wang Xiaolie doesn't have many armored cavalry, only five or six hundred people. If he really wants to invade our army, he only needs to send people to trip the horses. It's not difficult to deal with them with spears." What I'm afraid of is that Zhang Jun in Guanzhong has more money and food, so I wonder if there will be such an accident."
Han Chang shook his head after hearing this: "Why do you need to worry about Zhang Jun? I heard people say that Zhang Jun has great ambition and talent, but he is not familiar with the military. How could he have such thoughts? He can bring the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi together, which is amazing. How dare you think of anything else!"
Wu Shu nodded: "It's best. Wang Xiaolie is so difficult to defeat, and Ruzhou is impregnable, so don't worry about it. The city of Luoyang has been destroyed, the population is small, and it is now the place of the Fourth War. I don't think Wang Xiaolie will come. Attack. We will withdraw our troops tomorrow and enter Guanzhong as soon as possible."
Han Changdao: "When entering Guanzhong from Luoyang, you must go to Shaanzhou. Li Yanxian in Shaanzhou is extremely difficult to deal with. Lou Sudu has attacked several times but has not been able to break through!"
Wu Shu said angrily: "I can't defeat Wang Xiaolie, how can I defeat Li Yanxian? If Li Yanxian insists on defending Shaanxi Province, he will raise a large army and trample Shaanzhou to pieces! On the way to Guanzhong, I don't think anyone dares to stop him. I!"
Han Chang said yes and said no more.
Wu Shu said: "Tomorrow I will lead the army back to Luoyang, and you will be the queen. Be careful and don't fall into Wang Xiao's hunting trap!"
Han Chang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang. We are all elite cavalry and we don't form a large formation. How dare Wang Xiaolie come to fight?"
Wu Shu nodded: "That's right. If Wang Xiaolie sticks to the camp, we really can't do anything to him. Once he starts to move, there will be more loopholes. At that time, what's the use of him having hundreds of cavalry?"
In today's battle, Wu Shu was deeply impressed by Wang Xiaolie's armored cavalry. After many years of fighting, I never thought that cavalry could be used in this way. Although the Jin army did not lack horses, they used them crudely. At critical moments, the main attacking army is often heavily armored and dismounts to attack forcefully. It has never happened before like Wang Xiaolie, where both men and horses were equipped with iron armor and attacked like a mountain.
After losing the battle, Wu Shu didn't take it to heart. The purpose of going south to face Wang Xiaolie this time was to test Wang Xiaolie's strength. Wu Shu had no intention of fighting to the death. If Wang Xiaolie is not strong enough, he will send troops to occupy Ruzhou and open the way to the south. If Wang Xiaolie is strong, he will not go south for the time being, and at the same time, he must guard his own retreat.
