Chapter 83: Reorganizing the Army

Tens of thousands of troops attacked from the east and west, the Qi people were defeated like mountains and collapsed.

When the battle ended dark, the thieves were basically destroyed and the troops began to count and capture.

Shao Shude entered the thief camp in Qinggoubo and looked at Zhu Qiong kneeling in front of him.

Zhu Qiong was pitiful, covered in stains, as if she had been captured in the swamp mud.

"Catch it." Shao Shude waved his hand and said.

The personal soldiers immediately dragged him to the edge of the water, raised his knife and sent his head after a moment.

"You go to Yunzhou immediately, take 500 people away, and form the state army." Shao Shude played with Zhu Qiong's head and said, "I have ordered 4,000 troops from Ruzhou to travel east after ten days. I will allocate these people as appropriate."

Yelikcheng was a matter that he had already decided to serve as the commander of the Yunzhou Prefecture Army. Shao Shude gave him 300 personal soldiers and 200 silver-sad straight knights as the skeleton of the Yunzhou Prefecture Army. The others were filled in in March, and then they practiced diligently to improve their combat effectiveness.

The so-called surrendered troops in Ruzhou are actually the "first period" of Liang's army, with a total of 35,000 troops. After the reorganization of the troops, they were still 12,000 left, and sent another 6,000 to Tanshan, and the remaining six thousand were added to two thousand, and all four thousand were left to transfer east.

There are already 1,55 soldiers in Qizhou, and the recruitment notice has been posted. It is no problem to recruit 500 new recruits. Four thousand people transferred from the east will give Wang Jiao one thousand to gather 3,000 troops.

Yelikcheng will also get one thousand, and Yunzhou will recruit another five hundred, which will be two thousand people. With a remaining one thousand, Shao Shude plans to select from the surrendered troops in Qizhou.

These two states are connected together and are located on the towns in Hebei, which is very important, and the state army is indispensable.

"Affect the order." Yelikcheng responded immediately without any nonsense.

After he left, Li Yixian would take over the post of commander of the personal soldiers.

Li Yixian, the son of Li Duo.

His father died in battle when he attacked Xin'an, and Li Yixian went to the side of his prince Shao Chengjie to be a "transfer student" to learn literature and martial arts. He was not young anymore, and was in his twenties. Later, he was transferred to the capital of his personal soldiers.

The army was still chasing the north, and Shao Shude was no longer interested in reading it. After resting for a night, the generals reported that more than 3,000 were beheaded, four thousand were captured, and a few thieves drowned in the Qinggou.

Shao Shude ordered the prisoner Tutuan Township Man to be released, with two thousand left. He picked one thousand to Yelikcheng and ordered him to take him to Yunzhou immediately. The remaining thousand prisoners were left and returned to Qizhou with the army. It was the second day of the March.

Liu Xiu had already retreated, but the reason was unknown. It is speculated that one was an enemy in Dizhou, and Wang Shiyue was unable to fight against the Yichang Army. The other was that the Feilong Army frequently moved in Qingzhou and attacked Linqu County, which was only one step away from Qingzhou, and had to retreat.

It’s better if he retreated, the Xia army marched for a long distance and fought continuously. It had been two months and needed to breathe.

Shao Shude inspected the troops in Licheng and issued a reward. He gave him a piece of money and a piece of silk. It seemed a bit unprofitable, but it was not too bad.

Then he ordered the reorganization of the various ministries and the formation of left and right generals.

General Tu is still more than 11,000, including thousands of Yun soldiers. Tielin army is more than 4,000, Yanei army is more than 4,000, and Qizhou surrenders are all included. In addition, the Liang army is still on the way, and the left and right generals will have 24,000, all of them are infantry.

There are still six thousand cavalry shortages, and Shao Shude has not yet figured out where to make up for it. Perhaps he will be allocated from the Dingnan Army, or perhaps he will find solutions from other aspects and discuss them later.

The military envoy of the left and right generals was Kang Yanxiao, the deputy envoy was Zhe Bu Tai, the capital Yuhou Li Yanwei, and the capital You Yi envoy was temporarily short.

There are also two positions that are in a low position but have real power to lead troops.

He planned to grant Wei Caibo from Dijin Zewei Cai's army the title of Wei Caibo, the Han Dynasty's name Wei Rang, who is still in Hetao, and has sent a messenger to rush forward for 500 miles, and ordered him to come quickly.

The soldiers and horse envoys in the right wing were given to Zhang Shensi. He was still living in Bianzhou and had sent an envoy to come and report.

There are only two old men in the Xia army, and three of them surrendered to Liangdi, which is considered to give them a chance, and it is also a move by Shao Shude to win people's hearts.

After General Tu was formed, Shao Shude gave them three days to get to know each other quickly.

Considering that there will be a fight in the future, the reorganization is not thorough and the original organization has not been broken down, so as not to know the truth and the people will not be able to find it. After the phased war is over, reorganization will be carried out.

For a moment, Qizhou calmed down.

Only the governor of Dizhou, Shao Bo, was anxious. After obtaining permission, he took more than 3,000 people away and headed north to Dizhou. Shao Shude ordered Fu Yanchao, the capital of Dingnan Army, to lead more than 4,000 cavalry to accompany Shao Bo.

The Zhongwu Army built the floating bridge on the Ji River and began to build the floating bridge on the Yellow River. After the construction was completed, three thousand soldiers crossed the river to the north bank, and Wang Shike had already run away.

But the posture still needs to be made, and Zhao Yan is well aware of this.

It is one thing to chase or not, but it is another thing to chase or not. It is a matter of attitude and loyalty.

On the third day of March, after staying in Bozhou for a while, Zhao Yan decisively ordered a retreat as he saw Wei Bo's army approaching them.

The sensational sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out from the north.

Thousands of cavalry appeared on the field, rushing towards the Zhongwu Army like arrows.

Zhao Yan cursed inwardly. Wei Bo's martial arts husband is too arrogant and so disrespectful. He just robbed several villages? He didn't rob a woman, so what?

"Follow me to block it!" Seeing that the first batch of thousands of people had just retreated, and the second batch had just begun to climb the floating bridge, Zhao Yan became anxious and personally brought five hundred sergeants with a long spear in his hand, forming a formation to block it.

The enemy cavalry approached quickly and their speed slowed down. Zhao Yan breathed a little relieved. It seemed that he was just to scare you and "send you away".

Unexpectedly, at this moment, another team of cavalry rushed from behind and got off the horse as they approached.

The leader held a large bow in his hand, and the length of the bow tip was amazing. I don’t know how long the range should be.

He looked up and took a bow and arrow, and shot several arrows in succession.

People from Zhongwu Army kept falling to the ground, and even Zhao Yan was shot. The shoulders were sore and his arms couldn't be lifted.

"Yanei! Go quickly!" The personal soldiers hurriedly supported him and ran towards the floating bridge.

When Zhao Yan ran away, the five hundred Zhongwu troops lost their morale and retreated one after another.

The enemy cavalry rode their horses and danced with iron maces and horse spears, killing them so hard that they were defeated.

The enemy general walked leisurely, constantly shooting his bow, and shot his arrows without fail, and often aimed at the military academy, which was accurate and fierce.

The Zhongwu Army was completely collapsed. There was a mess on the pontoon bridge, and people were constantly being squeezed down and disappeared into the cold river.

"Quick! Set fire!" After rolling and rushing across the pontoon bridge, Zhao Yan immediately ordered.

There are firewood and tinder oil piled up under the pontoon bridge. It is a disposable thing, and it is normal to tear it off after use and burn it.

"Yanei, there are still our people on the floating bridge..." an officer hesitated.

"Set the fire immediately. There are not many defenders on the south bank. If the bandits suddenly come, Changqing and Pingyin will be finished, hurry up!" Zhao Yan grinned in pain and said angrily.

"As for the order." The officer did not dare to talk nonsense, and immediately poured tinder oil on it and lit firewood.

The raging fire started to burn.

The faces of the Zhongwu Army soldiers who were still crossing the river changed drastically. Some of them accelerated their pace and rushed back before the pontoon bridge broke; some of them lost their armor and equipment and ran while scolding; some of them seemed too late, so they could only walk back, and then they were all rushing infantry, and the enemy also had heavy infantry riding on horseback.

There is no suspense about the fate of these people. They are basically killed on the floating bridge and then thrown into the river.

The fire became increasingly large, and the pontoon bridge was burning and crackling, constantly deforming, breaking, disintegrating, and floating downstream.

Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The underwear was saved, but the personnel losses were a bit huge.

"Who is this?" He was a little ashamed. He was beaten like a dog and didn't even understand the identity of the enemy.

No one paid attention to him.

The martial artist also has a temper. It is normal to escape on the battlefield, but Zhao Yan's approach is really disgusting. If the Zhao family had not been in Chen and Xu Erzhou had a very high prestige, someone would have already clamored and took his head.

After a while, an officer said, "Before fleeing, I vaguely saw the general flag. It should be the troops of the Jin general Mi Zhicheng."

"It should be more than one." After someone spoke, others interrupted one after another.

"There are thousands of people, including armored cavalry, light cavalry, and sprinting cavalry, and stomping battles. There must be more than one, but it should be the Jin soldiers."

"I also saw the generals surnamed Ma. Is there any generals surnamed Ma in the Jin army?"

"Yunzhou is very empty, with more than 10,000 troops at full capacity."

Zhao Yan sighed and said, "Come here, report this military information to the king immediately."

*******

Outside Weizhou City, Zhu Quanzhong was in a panic and fled in a panic.

Li Keyong's eyes were so angry that he personally went to chase and killed him.

During these days, Shao Shude has been wondering where his righteous brother Li Keyong is going to attack. Now that the case has been solved, he is hitting Zhu Quanzhong.

The Yier Army, the Cavalry Army, the Forcing Army, the Tielin Army, and the Heng Chong Army are all the most elite soldiers of the Jin army. You can tell from the number that they are all fierce men.

Now these fierce men are chasing Zhu Quanzhong and are swearing to kill him.

Wei Bo looked at the wall, and the two did not help each other.

The six states are now like public toilets, and anyone can come and go.

The Xia army came and left, the Qi army came and left, and of course the Jin army could come as well.

In fact, Luo Hongxin still wanted to protect Zhu Quanzhong, so he made concessions to allow the Jin army to transit the border and transport supplies. Unfortunately, Li Keyong had a bad temper and had a large army to come to the city of Weizhou. He must have an explanation.

Luo Hongxin sent an envoy to persuade him, but Li Keyong did not listen at all. He also found out the garrison of the Huazhou soldiers and led the troops to raid and defeated them.

Seeing that this behavior became a practice, Wei Bowu suggested expelling Zhu Quanzhong, and Luo Hongxin had nothing to say, so he could only pinch his nose and agree to drive Zhu Quanzhong and his confidants out of Weizhou.

The chase is tragic.

Zhu Quanzhong ran out in a hurry with five fast horses alone under the escort of his nephew.

Li Zhen has been captured, Jing Xiang is missing, Han Jie is killed in the military camp, Wang Yanzhang killed two Jin generals in the formation and broke through.

Tens of thousands of troops were defeated and the confidants were scattered. As Zhu Quanzhong walked, he felt sad.

The world is so big, where can he run?

To the north and west is Li Keyong's territory, to the south and east is Shao's territory, which is Jizhou in the northeast, and Dezhou can be run.

But Wang Rong, the governor of Zhenji, had long been defeated by Li Keyong, and now he is his vassal and has gone to a dead end.

Although Lu Yanwei, Cangjing, is not as respectful to Li Keyong as Wang Rong, he is not troublesome, and it is probably not good to go there.

Where can I escape?

In despair, Zhu Quanzhong had to shed a few tears.

"First run to Dezhou, then to Dizhou." Zhu Quanzhong calmed down and took more than 2,000 cavalry to run east.

No matter how desperate it is, Zhu Quanzhong will definitely not be able to commit suicide until the last moment.

As long as there is still a breath, there is still a chance. How many times have you been beaten and fled in the Chao Army? Haven’t you all been here?

Dizhou is Wang Shifan's territory. After going there, you may be able to take a break for a while.
