Chapter 195 Drinking with a Head

The soldiers of the Xingtian army who watched the enemy in the rear were also a little surprised. Everyone did not expect that the officers and soldiers would fight so tenaciously this time. Obviously, under the condition that the firepower was weaker than the Xing Tian army, it was always difficult to advance Luo Li's troops. A large number of Xing Tianjun's robes were killed before the two armies, and they grited their teeth one by one. Cut teeth.

Soon, a rapid sound of gold sounded in the army of the Xingtian army. Luo Li was continuing to attack. After hearing the sound of gold, he had to order a retreat. A large number of Xingtian army began to alternately cover and retreat. Fortunately, although he retreated, Luo Li's command did not mess up. While covering the retreat alternately, he immediately robbed the brothers who fell on the battlefield and carried them down together.

After watching the retreat of Xing Tianjun, Huang Degong breathed a sigh of relief, and the officers and soldiers immediately cheered. Many people jumped up and celebrated each other for the rest of their lives. In this way, it undoubtedly boosted the morale of the whole army.

And Xing Tianjun's morale suddenly fell a little.

After Luo Li led his troops to withdraw, he took a look at the losses. After more than an hour in this battle, more than 300 soldiers under Luo Li's command were killed. At the same time, the number of wounded soldiers exceeded 400. It can be said that after the first battle, the loss was close to 20%. Such a loss was almost unprecedented for Xing Tianjun. Luo Li couldn't help but faint and stood in the army and scolded.

Xiao Tianjian's face also turned blue at this time. He waved his hand and said, "What are you scolding? Collect the troops and go back to the camp to discuss it again! It's the right thing to rescue the wounded as soon as possible!"

So Xing Tianjun, who lined up under the Tuanshan camp, began to slowly withdraw their camp in the area around Lao Mianshan. Seeing that Xing Tianjun withdrew, the hanging heart of 10,000 Ji, who was sitting in the army, suddenly put it in his stomach. Kong Zhenhui had a feeling of being weak and almost stood. I can't stand it.

After the two people looked at each other, they both nodded repeatedly. Kong Zhen would immediately say, "General Huang is really a brave general!" Today's defeat of the criminal thief under the mountain is really gratifying! Now that the thief army is defeated for the first time, why don't you immediately wave your troops to cover up? In this way, you can get a big victory!" Kong Zhenhui didn't have much experience in the battlefield. Seeing that Xing Tianjun retreated, he immediately proposed to send troops to Tengji to cover up and kill Xing Tianjun to strive for greater results.

If this situation is put on others, it may be really okay, but 10,000 yuan did not dare to do so. He shook his head and pointed to Xing Tianjun, who was retreating at the foot of the mountain, and said to Kong Zhenhui, "No! Although the thief army was frustrated, it did not collapse, and under the pressure of the main force of the thief army, although they were defeated for the first time, they did not mess up, and the retreat was still in an orderly manner. Now once they send troops out to chase and kill, they may be counterattacked by them. If they don't do it well, they may cause a big defeat! Therefore, at present, it is the best policy for us to stick to the camp!

Let's go! I will also go to the front camp to reward the soldiers. After the victory of the first battle, our army's morale is greatly boosted. In this way, our army may not have the possibility of defeating the thief army here! After saying that, he happily took Kong Zhenhui to the front camp to reward the future of the front battalion.

After Xiao Tianjian returned to the camp, he immediately summoned all the generals to his big account. This attack was frustrated, which was a big blow to the morale of the Xingtian Army. Originally, after their army came, it should be possible to deal with these officers and soldiers with so many elite men and horses of the Xing Tianjun. With a drum down, the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were also killed by Shunshun, but they didn't think that in today's battle, even Luo Li's troops, who were brave enough, went up and hit the ashes of their noses, and the soldiers retreated. Therefore, after the generals entered the big tent, they looked a little depressed. Luo Li was even more wrapped in wounds and stood in the column and bowed his head. He looks depressed.

Xiao Tianjian sat behind the handsome case with a calm face, glanced at the generals in the account, and then said, "But with a small setback, have you all become this virtue? Humph!

During this period, it seems that the battle has been a little too smooth, so once we surrender, we can say that we all underestimate the enemy too much. This is the reason for today's defeat!

Although the officers and soldiers are not strong, they have learned to be obedient this time. They camped on the mountains, occupying an absolute advantage in the terrain, and building layers of defenses. We underestimate the enemy too lightly and attack rashly. Although the firepower is dominant, they can't play too many advantages. On the contrary, they are suppressed by the officers and soldiers, so that they lose a lot!

It seems that it's time for you, including me, to put away this kind of contempt for the enemy! This Huang Degong is by no means a general person. I'm afraid we are going to change our strategy to deal with them this time!"

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, the generals in the account quickly straightened their chest and said yes. Their expressions slowed down slightly, and Luo Li pleaded guilty and said, "General! This time, Lao Luo's cowhide was blown! Not only did he not attack the enemy camp, but the loss was so great. The last general was guilty. Please punish him!"

Xiao Tianjian glanced at Luo Li and didn't give him a good look. After a cold snor, he pointed at the handsome case and scolded, "You are really guilty!" In fact, you should have seen that it is not a way to fight like this, and the loss will be too great, but as soon as you go to the battlefield, you are dizzy and only care about playing with your stupid temper! Regardless of the casualties of the soldiers, I only know that the governor's attack! So much so that the soldiers have to pay the casualties they shouldn't pay!

I know you are eager to win, but as the main general on the battlefield, you should first remember your responsibilities. When it's time to be brave, you must not hesitate, but when it's time to temporarily retreat, you must never forget your identity! But today, you regard yourself as a soldier again, forget your identity, and only care about your bravery! So much so that the soldiers under your command have paid the price that they shouldn't have paid. If it hadn't been for me to collect the soldiers today, would it be possible for you to fight all the soldiers under your command? Humph!

This is also the reason why I don't let you lead the army alone for such a long time! Because you are just a qualified general, but you are not handsome! Can you be convinced that I will punish you for half a year's salary this time?

Luo Li was reprimanded by Xiao Tianjian, and his old man suddenly blushed. Although he was a little unconvinced, it was true when he thought about it. The front camp of the officer and army was such a wide field. His military advantage could not be exerted, and his firepower advantage could not be publicized. He even blocked the support of the gun battalion behind him. He made the gun battalion throw a rat weapon in the back, and he dared not fire the cannon easily. It can be said that he was almost hitting the iron plate with his head. Xiao Tianjian was right. As long as he went into battle, he would immediately forget his identity. Today, if he was not determined to take the lead and make a contribution, he would take the army back first when he saw that the situation was not right. Come on, if he plans the next attack, it won't cause so many casualties to his generals. If Xiao Tianjian hadn't ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops in time, he would not have dared to fight all his men. Thinking of this, he couldn't help sweating coldly on his back, so he had to honestly answer, "The last general knows his guilt!" The general scolded him very much! The last general will not make such a big mistake in the future! I will be convinced!"

When Xiao Tianjian heard that Luo Li admitted his mistake, his face slowed down and nodded and said, "The ancients said, you will die in the morning and evening. It's best for you to know your mistake. You can continue to work for the time being! It's also for you to make contributions! In the future, please remember what your identity is! If you make such a mistake again, go home and hug your baby! Humph!"

After listening to this, Luo Li immediately returned to the column obediently. The generals couldn't help laughing. Everyone knew Luo Li's temper when he was fighting. If it were someone else's words, he could not be able to end up with him today. Today, Luo Li was scolded by Xiao Tianjian. This time, Luo Li should have a long memory, and at the same time. It also sounded a wake-up call for the generals, and the generals added a vigilance in their hearts.

After Xiao Tianjian asked Luo Li to retreat, he no longer mentioned this matter. Instead, he began to discuss with the generals and staff how to deal with the 40,000 officers and soldiers in Tuanshan. Now after today's World War I, they can see that the officers and soldiers have changed a lot in tactics, and they can also see that the officers and soldiers have occupied Tuanshan. After the terrain, it is easy not to leave the camp and fight with their Xingtian army. Although Xingtian army has the advantage in firepower and the generals are much more powerful than the officers and soldiers, the camp built by the officers and soldiers here is not easy to fight. If a strong attack is taken, it will be fought one by one until all the officers and military camps are destroyed. Pull it out. In that case, if the officers and soldiers show such strong resistance as today, God knows how long it will take to eat these 40,000 officers and how much it will cost.

Originally, when Xiao Tianjian and the generals came, they thought that they could easily deal with this group of officers and soldiers as they did with Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui in Yanggu County a few days ago, but now it seems that the original idea is impossible. Looking at the posture, the officers and soldiers want to delay and force the Xing Tianjun here in Tuanshan. Xing Tianjun had to give up his attack on Nanjing. Once dragged here, it is likely that Ding Qirui will be able to mobilize more officers and soldiers to come here to fight. In that case, it will definitely bring huge pressure on the supply of supplies to Xing Tianjun.

After this discussion, the generals had been discussing until midnight. In the middle of the night, Xiao Tianjian stood in front of the map, rubbed his eyes that were a little sore by the candlelight, threw down the wooden stick in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Just follow this plan! Since they want to delay, we can't let 10,000 yuan and Huang Degong go well! It's not in our interest to fight a position war. They want to use their straw soldiers to exchange their lives for our elite soldiers here. It's a loss to fight us like this! We don't do the loss-making business. They can afford it, but we can't afford it! Let's break up! Tomorrow is dawn, that is, act according to the plan just made!"

At this time, instead of feeling sleepy, they were much more energetic than when they first came back, and the expressions on their faces became much easier, and each of them looked excited. After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, they immediately straightened up and raised their hands and saluted, "Yes... ..."
