My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 252 Late
The Mongolian cavalry's offensive finally stopped, and the deafening sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield also stopped.

The army doctors in the Huben camp also took this opportunity to save lives and heal the wounded.

Jia Huan sat down on the ground, feeling that all his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The battle, which lasted less than three quarters of an hour, seemed as long as a year to him.

Sitting in the front row, he only knew how to keep shooting and shooting again under the command of the team officer. As for asking him how many shots he fired, he couldn't tell clearly.

He only knew that the ammunition bag specially used to hold submunitions hanging on his waist was half empty. You must know that the ammunition bag can hold 120 rounds of fixed ammunition, but half of it was consumed in such a short time. This shows the intensity of the battle.

He took out the water bag from his waist and was about to take a drink of water, but found that the water bag was already empty. It turned out that he had already drank all the water during the battle.

Reluctantly, he hung the water bag back on his waist, licked his dry lips, and was thinking about where to get some water, when a water bag was handed to him.

"Give...drink."

A hoarse voice sounded next to him. Jia Huan turned around and saw that it was a veteran in the same row as him just now.

"Come on." Jia Huan rolled his eyes, "If ordinary people don't live a good life, they are just like chicken feathers. Seeing that you still come out to eat this bowl of decapitated rice at an old age, how can you be better than me? "

The two of them were yelling at each other, and the people next to them weren't surprised at all.

"Hey...you kid, how dare you say that to your uncle." The old soldier glared at him with feigned anger, but then he sighed: "But you are really kidding. I am thirty-six this year, and the elder of the family is Dalian dolls are available.

"That's true...every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite."

The veteran nodded to express his understanding, "A tree has large branches, this has been the truth since ancient times.

If you meet a kind-hearted mistress like you, she might even give you two or three tile-roofed houses or a small shop to help you make ends meet.

The veteran took the water bag and stuffed it back into his waist, and asked him with interest: "Why... I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, how come you are eating this bowl of rice?"

"What about a rich family?" Jia Huan said with a bitter smile: "For a bastard like me, no matter how big my family fortune is, it has nothing to do with me."

"Bah... I am very capable, but you, a little kid with no hair, don't know what to do!" The veteran was furious and started ridiculing him on the spot.

Unfortunately, I am not a person who is good at studying. If I want to get ahead, I can only take the path of joining the army. "

If you meet someone who is mean and just gives you three melons and two dates and sends you out of the house, you are not as good as an ordinary family. At least your parents will divide the family's things equally among the brothers. "

If it weren't for the sake of making money for the third child and the six-year-old youngest to get a wife, you think I would be happy to eat this bowl of rice. "

Soldiers who go to the battlefield are under great pressure that ordinary people can't imagine. This is why many people who were originally honest, honest, and even timid in their hometowns, once they go to the battlefield, they are capable of burning, killing, looting, and everything, and it's like they have changed. Likely.

"Of course not." Jia Huan grinned, quickly took the water bag and took a sip of water, then closed the lid and returned it to the veteran.

Seeing Jia Huan's hesitation, the veteran glared and said displeasedly: "Why... you look down on me."

According to the rules, I will have to make a living on my own in another two years. I am not willing to live my whole life relying on my mistress. Like other branches, I nod and bow to the disciples and housekeepers for the few taels of silver rewarded by the master's family during the holidays.

"You deserve it... who allowed you to give birth to so many sons without any trouble." Jia Huan couldn't help laughing, "You are almost thirty years old and you are still trying your best to give birth to sons. You think you are not tired enough."

The veteran looked at Jia Huan in surprise, smiled and joked: "Hey... I didn't expect that your boy actually comes from a wealthy family?"

To say he is a veteran mainly refers to his age. This man has a beard, is tall, and is about thirty years old.

"Why else... for some way out." Jia Huandao said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "My mother is just an aunt, and I am already sixteen this year.

Don't think that you are not old in your thirties. In this era when you can call yourself an old man at the age of forty, many people in their thirties have become grandfathers.

It is because the pressure on the battlefield is so great that even the most docile person can easily become manic in the face of an environment where he may die at any time.

It was too common for people like Jia Huan and Lao Lao to have a quarrel after a battle.

But a quarrel was a quarrel. After the quarrel, the relationship between the two became much better. After some communication, Jia Huan also learned the name of the veteran, whose name was Jiang Laogen.

When Jiang Laogen learned that Jia Huan took the initiative to be transferred from the Guards to the front line, his eyes almost bulged.

He said in disbelief: "Brother Huan, are you so damn crazy?

How could a good soldier with a promising future come here to risk his life with us Qiuba and Tatars? "

"You know shit."

Jia Huan rolled his eyes angrily: "After you have been a soldier for a long time, your morale will be gone.

Unless you have no ambitions and just want to be a soldier all your life, otherwise the comfortable life will corrode a person's fighting spirit. I am not here just to be a Qiu Ba, I want to be an official, a high official! "

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Laogen laughed and patted Jia Huan on the shoulder, "Okay... then I will wait for the day when you become a high official. Then don't forget us brothers."

After that, he stood up and lightly kicked Jia Huan: "Let's go... Since you want to be an official, the old man will teach you a lesson first."

Jia Huan asked curiously: "Where to go?"

"Where to go...of course we are going to clean up the battlefield." Jiang Laogen grinned, "Those of us who fight with our heads in our belts, except for the military instructions issued by the court, are not just looking for the few things captured on the battlefield. ?
Let's go... Today, I will take you to pick up the treasure. "

"Beep beep beep..." As Jiang Laogen finished his words, a sharp swan whistle sounded, which was the assembly whistle.

Soon, the top commander of the phalanx, the guerrilla general, called everyone together, pointed at the dead bodies scattered in front of him and said: "Brothers, don't say that I don't take care of you.

I have just secured a good job for you with the General. Did you see that the dead bodies of the Mongolian Tatars are there? Now I will give you a moment to burn incense and clean the battlefield in pairs. You can gain as much as you can. It's up to you.

Also, let me show you the highlights of your tactics. Don't be used as a backing by the Tatars who are pretending to be dead. When you encounter a Tatar who seems to be alive, don't hesitate. Just one bayonet and it's over. Do you understand? "

"Understood!" A uniform voice sounded around, and all the musketeers had smiles on their faces.

Cleaning the battlefield is a good job. Even though those Mongolian Tatars are extremely poor, if they don't keep it all, there will be some Tatars who carry gold, silver or jade and other good things. As long as they can get a piece, this time on the Mongolian grassland It’s not in vain.

"Why are you still standing there... let's go!"

Jia Huan, who had encountered this kind of thing for the first time, was still in a daze when his arm was pulled violently by Jiang Laogen, "I asked you, are you stupid? Didn't you hear what the adults said? You only gave us one stick of incense." We have to seize the time."

Jia Huan was a little confused and was about to follow Jiang Laogen, but he scolded him again, "You kid, you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears. Have you forgotten what I just said? Just fix the bayonet!"

"oh oh……"

Jia Huan felt his face burning. He quickly pulled out the bayonet from his waist and inserted it into the muzzle of his gun. Then he ran towards Lao Jiangchao...

After one stick of incense (two quarters of an hour)

"Sir... we have won this battle again!" Jia Yu stood on the top of a dirt bun and quietly looked at the Mongolian army in the distance. Gu Jizheng, the first sentry officer and deputy general of the Huben Battalion, Report the battle situation to him.

"According to statistics, a total of thirty-four people were killed and sixty-seven were injured in our Huben Battalion. A total of 5,613 Tatars were annihilated and 627 war horses were captured. However, the medicine was consumed a bit too much. The humble post is urging the baggage battalion to come as soon as possible."

Jia Yu listened silently and remained silent. He waited until Gu Ji finished speaking before he looked away. He turned to the messenger behind him and said, "Send someone to tell Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan that the Three Thousand Battalion and the two Ganxian Battalions must be there." Half an hour later we arrived at both sides of Chahar.

Then he ordered the Guoyi Camp and the Fifth Army Camp. If they failed to reach the scheduled position after an hour, Tan Ruo would be dealt with according to the military law. "

After the messenger took the order and left, Gu Ji heard Jia Yu muttering to himself: "I have already fought the most difficult battle for you. If you can't even do this, don't blame me." No more mercy."

Gu Ji felt awe in his heart. Of course he knew who Jia Yu was talking about.

As a confidant promoted by Jia Yu, Gu Ji is very aware that Jia Yu's mark has been deeply imprinted on him.

In this era of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, he had no other choice but to follow Jia Yu all the way to the dark side.

Don't talk about changing the family. Why is Lu Bu, as the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, not only not getting the respect he deserves, but also always being looked down upon? It's not because of Zhang Fei's words "house slaves with three surnames" that he was nailed. I have been on the pillar of shame for more than a thousand years and will never come down again.

As a general who commanded more than 2,000 troops and Jia Yu's deputy in Huben Camp, Gu Ji was already qualified to participate in some things.

In today's Beijing Camp, Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan, as the first people to follow Jia Yu, have become the chief military officers of the Three Thousand Battalion and the Ganxian Battalion. Although they were transferred from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to the Huben Camp halfway, Jia Yu Yu did not treat him badly and promoted him to the position of deputy general in less than a year.

Today's Jingying camp belongs to Jia Yu's direct line. The three battalions that can be used like a finger are the Huben camp, the Sanqian camp and the Ganxian camp. The rest are like the Fifth Army camp, Xuanfeng camp, Guoyi camp and other six battalions. The general soldiers are all cronies sent by the emperor.

In this battle, it stands to reason that the Huben Battalion has been fighting the Mongols for so long. The Fifth Army Battalion and the Selected Front Battalion that were ordered to retreat should have appeared in the rear of Ulaanbaatar, but now there is no movement at all. This has to be Let Jia Yu doubt the motives of the two battalions of soldiers.

As a leading commander, if he cannot command his troops well during war, half of the battle will be lost before it even starts.

What Jia Yu and Gu Ji didn't know was that more than thirty miles away from Ulaanbaatar, the Fifth Army Battalion and the Selected Front Battalion, which were originally ordered to rush to Ulaanbaatar, encountered an unknown force. More than five thousand Mongolian cavalry appeared out of nowhere.

The sudden encounter first surprised both parties, and then they had nothing to say and started fighting immediately.

Twenty thousand versus five thousand, and the Daxia army was no worse than the Mongols in terms of equipment and soldier quality. After fighting for less than half an hour, the Mongolian cavalry left more than two thousand corpses and fled in panic.

Although the battle was won, there was no happy expression on Feng Tang's face. He urged the troops to hurry up and move forward without even cleaning the battlefield.

"General Feng, why are you in such a hurry? Let the brothers clean up the battlefield before leaving!" A red-faced general said with some dissatisfaction next to Feng Tang.

Feng Tang looked at the sun and then glanced at him: "According to the order of the Jiedushi Master, we should have arrived in Ulaanbaatar by now, and after joining the army, we will surround Ulaanbaatar together, but because of this The cavalry was delayed for half an hour and wasted the opportunity to fight. If you were the commander of the army, what would you think?"

This red-faced general is none other than Wei Gengyao, who was recently promoted by Emperor Changping to be the chief soldier of the Selected Front Battalion.

As a Wei Gengyao who had just been transferred to Shenjing from the southeastern coastal areas, he was entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Changping as soon as he arrived. It was at a time when he was in high spirits. Although he knew very well that he could not reach the destination in time specified by the commander, no matter what happened, All these reasons are wrong, but now he is in high spirits and naturally refuses to admit his mistake.

Wu Zi said harshly: "What General Feng said makes sense, but didn't we just meet the Tatars? We can just explain it to Lord Jiedushi afterwards. Why should you worry too much, General Feng?"

Feng Tang just sighed and said nothing.

The two men led the army and marched for another quarter of an hour. A messenger with an order flag on his back quickly came to the two men and stopped. He said loudly: "Jiedu Shi has an order to select the front camp and the fifth army camp at noon." If you fail to arrive at your destination on time before, you will be severely punished!"

After saying that, the messenger ignored the two men and immediately rode away.

Looking at the messengers who were leaving, Wei Gengyao looked quite ugly, while Feng Tang looked worried.

Since Jia Yu was promoted to the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, he was keenly aware that Emperor Changping began to add sand to the Beijing Camp.

First, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fifth military camp, and then Wei Gengyao was sent to replace him as the commander-in-chief of the Selected Front Battalion. Then several other nobles were appointed as the commander-in-chief of several other battalions.

Of course, according to the emperor's mentality, it is correct not to place one's own safety on one person, but in Feng Tang's opinion, Emperor Changping's approach was a bit impatient and did not take into account Jia Yu, the new Jiedu. Make the idea.

Damn... I have just taken office, and my butt is not yet warm, and you are so impatient to do these little tricks. Since you are so worried, you might as well not let me be the governor.
