Qin Meng's thoughts are based on overall considerations.
Since the headquarters can't survive a big battle, then honestly sacrifice the tortoise defense Dafa, save your life first.
If there are new orders, there is no other way but to execute military orders.
There is no new order, and it’s okay to stick to it until it snows.
Not only Qin Meng, but all the officers and soldiers in Houyazhai hope to persist until it snows.
Seeing that three days have passed, there is no movement in the direction of Wuyinling to the north.
Just as everyone's hopes were getting bigger and bigger, a small group of cavalry came into the sight of the investigating post in the distance of the temporary fortification.
The investigating post reported the situation to Qin Meng, who immediately ordered to enter a state of combat readiness.
The sent out to inspect the horse came back and informed Qin Meng that the person here was a token officer of the Chinese Army, who had already handed in Lingjian, but it was the commandment of Xue Liang, the general of Houyazhai of Temperance.
The card officer came to the mountain, and after meeting Qin Meng, he said: "General Qin, General Xue, through the captured Turkic prisoners, already knows about your situation in Sanzhai, and your troops have stubbornly blocked the Turkic cavalry. General Xue praised it and reported it. From the prince, a great accomplishment has already been recorded."
Qin Meng waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything about the credit, this brother, General Xue has ordered the arrow here, there must be military affairs, let's talk about business."
The card official looked around and said with a serious expression: "General Qin, brother from Houyazhai, defeated twice as much as my cavalry. Not only General Xue, but all the soldiers were amazed. Everyone knows what such a victory means. Everyone knows that my brothers suffered heavy losses. However, as General Qin said, I am here to convey important military information."
Through the introduction of the card official, Qin Meng knew that in the frontal battlefield of Jiming Mountain, the Turkic people broke through the thirteen villages, and Yang Lin was furious, assembled the Chinese army and launched a large-scale counterattack.
The two fought each other, winning each other.
But the Turkic retreat is a foregone conclusion, and Yang Lin strictly ordered that since the Turkic people are so arrogant, then take a lesson.
Luo Fang, the general of the Chinese army, directly governed the main force of the Chinese army, and entangled with the main Turkic forces, making it impossible to get out.
General Xue Liang, led by 10,000 horses, restrained the villages on the west line of Jiming, marched west along the fixed nodes of the cottage, attacked the Turkic left wing, and cooperated with the main force of the Chinese army.
At present, the Turkic Khan’s slaps were tightened, and the Sui army’s attack was delayed at the expense of the small groups, while its headquarters stepped up to advance. Only when it reached the Wuyin Ridge, it could directly turn to the north and retreat to the Turkic people. Land boundary.
The Great Sui troops, dominated by infantry, along the Jiming Mountain line, there is still the possibility of a battle with the Turks.
Once the Turkic people evacuated to a place where there is no danger to borrow, that is the world of Turkic cavalry, and the Sui army can only watch them go home.
Therefore, General Xue Liang received a strict order from the commander-in-chief Yang Lin to assemble all the forces that can be assembled to carry out an effective strike on the Turkic flank in the Wuyin Ridge area to match the frontal fighting Luo Fang.
However, the people and horses of the villages on the west line of Jiming Shan are scattered everywhere, and there are a lot of Turkic wandering harassment. It takes time to gather and exercise to reach Wuyinling.
For the overall strategic situation, Xue Liang urged the Qinmeng Houyazhai subordinates to stand firm in Wuyinling and wait for opportunities. If there is a Turkic protection flanking force to establish a defense, trying to protect the flank of the Turkic retreating army, attack and harass, and do everything possible Undermine its strategic intentions.
Qin Meng smiled faintly after hearing this: "This brother, please report to General Xue, all the soldiers in Houya Village, will do whatever it takes to live up to the trust of General Xue."
"So, it's been hard work. General Qin, I sincerely hope that I can see the brothers of Houyazhai again." The official handed over to Qin Meng, and then agreed with everyone around Qin Meng before leaving with his people. Up.
An extremely depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone.
After a long silence, Zhou Lie took the lead to speak: "General, at this point, the brethren have nothing to say. But, how are we going to fight like this?"
Qin Meng stared at a certain place without blinking, and did not speak for a long time.
"Qi Yuan, how many people do we have to fight?" Qin Meng suddenly asked with a long sigh.
In the battle of Wuyinling, the war damages were counted that day. More than 700 people died and more than 100 were seriously injured. Most of these people also died.
There were countless people who were slightly wounded. Because of the lack of medicine, there were a lot of deterioration in the past three days, so Qin Meng wanted to ask.
"Going back to the general, because some of the brothers are undecided, I dare not determine the specific number, but in general, those who can fight again will be in the early 2000s at best."
"Go, let's go and see."
Qin Meng brought Xie Yun and Zhou Lie to the back of the simple fortifications built. It was just a simple tidying up, placing soldiers who were no longer able to move normally.
It was not the eye-catching wound and dripping blood that touched Qin Meng, but the hollow expression on the wounded soldier's face.
A lot of those who were seriously injured had already left in two days.
For the rest, the pain and unbearable period have passed. Everyone knows what it means to be injured in a war environment, and the fear of possible death can make people desperate.
But desperate, will be numb, there is no look in the eyes, like a walking dead.
"Brothers, I'm sorry everyone, but I promise, I will never abandon you."
Qin Meng turned around, really couldn't bear to watch, solemnly stated his promise, and led people away.
All the soldiers were assembled in simple fortifications.
Qin Meng paced back and forth in front of the soldiers, eyes, constantly wandering, he wanted to remember everyone's face.
"Brothers, there is an order from the top, our ministry is here, and we need to stop the Turks again."
Qin Meng stopped and, with a trace of solemnity, conveyed the order given by Xue Liang.
The expressions of the officers and soldiers were different.
Some people showed loss on their faces, and some people felt that the command to use the tired soldier in this way, some couldn't understand it, and some people showed that it didn't matter.
After Qin Meng observed carefully, he slowly said: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty, and protect their homes and the country as their own duty. National disasters are in the face, and the blood of people of lofty ideals must be splashed on the country. We are duty-bound!"
Speaking of this, Qin Meng pointed to the ground under his feet and said: "Everyone has just gone through a bloody battle, and we don’t need to be refurbished, but they are going to fight again, and they are really exhausted. However, under our feet is the land that our ancestors laid down through all kinds of hardships for us to cultivate and live. , Continues to this day. Could it be my generation, wanting to serve the enemy with the blood of ancestors' heroism?"
Qin Meng's utterly loud speech caused a new change in the expressions of the officers and soldiers, and the firm expressions on everyone's faces appeared little by little.
"I am the Central Plains, the civilized nation. The civilized person is the ethics and morality. The sage sets the general principles and is the emperor and minister, father and son, and husband and wife. What is it? The emperor, acts on behalf of the sky, educates his people, and enlightens the world, so there is no Loyal to the emperor does not think of a gentleman. The father is the head of the family, and is dependent on food and clothing, so unfilial piety is not a son of man. A husband and wife depend on and rely on, so disrespect is bound to commit seven evils."
Qin Meng spoke slowly, with an expression on his face as if he was chatting with everyone at home.
"I wait for the body of a dignified man to be taught by the Central Plains etiquette, and one who knows to be a husband must have a sense of shame. The so-called self-cultivation and family peace of the world, there is no need to speak? It is respected by all. It’s a blessing to die to be worthy of the ancestors, and to enjoy the incense of future generations on the side of the souls of the ancestors."
When Qin Meng said this, looking at everyone, there was gradually unevenness in his eyes.
"The Turkic people go south, and whoever has done what they have done is not in the heart of grief and indignation? Those who are sorrowful, looted, are all my fathers and villagers, brothers and sisters. Those who are indignant, trample on our country, hurt my relatives, and do nothing. Enemy captive, why do you have such a bad breath in your chest?"
The listeners were all moved. They were not attracted by Qin Meng's eloquent explanation, but there was indeed such sentimentality and anger in their hearts. Qin Meng just touched the weakest part of their hearts.
Qin Meng sighed to the sky and said: "Since the Jin Dynasty, the northern part of the northern part of the country has become a problem for the central plains in the north. During the Wei and Zhou Dynasties, they often offered coins for peace on the frontier. I was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Martyr! Could it be that only the emperor has the power of the Central Plains, and the soldiers who defend my family and the country have no blood for men?"
The crowd began to humiliate, and Qin Meng's voice suddenly raised, causing the officers and soldiers to suddenly feel a little ashamed.
A cold light flashed in Qin Meng's eyes: "The prince is determined to fight the Turks. The main force of General Luo Fang is closely following Shabolue's forces. General Xue Liang's flanking force is fully contained. Isn't that where he is fighting for his life? I am a grand sui, a country that is not seeking peace, and I am a man who is not a man who succumbs to his knees! The enemy dare to come, can you ask me if the steel knife is good?"
Excited expressions emerged on the faces of the officers and soldiers, and there was something that could not be restrained, throwing their helmets to the ground.
"The general has no more to say, but he has a life, and I don't want to keep it for a while. The general just uses it."
"Yes, if the general wars, I also have an order. In the past, the Turks always beat us if they wanted to beat us, and we were beaten, but we also offered women's belongings. Now, we dare to beat the Turks. Whatever you say, there must be me!"
…
Qin Meng felt a little unbearable, he could foresee how tragic the upcoming battle would be.
Let alone these passionate fighters, it is yourself. Whether they can survive the battle is an unknown question.
After everyone calmed down, Qin Meng said, "If the morale of the brothers is so, I am very relieved. However, there are injured brothers here, and we can't ignore it. Moreover, I want to save some seeds for the brothers in Houyazhai."
Qin Meng turned his head and waved his hand to call Qi Yuan: "Qi Yuan, this time, life and death will not be expected. I only bring three hundred horses and 1,200 foot soldiers, and the rest, take care of the wounded. You. In the case of the most familiar brothers, if there are brothers, father and son in the army, keep the father and the brother. If there are not enough people left under this condition, then draw lots and stay in the draw.” (End of this chapter)
