Chapter 905 I'm afraid of bad things
The magnificent formation of lightning and thunder completely shocked the earth. The birds in the jungle far away on the other side of the lake also flew desperately as if they had encountered an earthquake and natural disaster! Within a radius of more than a mile in Xu Jun’s camp, the cannons on the cannon formation and the water surface seemed to be spraying angry flames, and the smoke of gunfire was filled with smoke in the sky.
The shells flew into the fields, grasslands, and woods, bouncing on the ground, mud and water splashing in the paddy fields. In the square crowd by the river, white smoke suddenly burst into air, as if a monster suddenly blew out a large mouthful of white gas!
The Jiaozhou Army obviously had never seen such a battle. The firepower rushed towards us with a trembling aura from the beginning. Gunpowder greatly improved the power of people. When ordinary fighting was face to face, it really began. Xu Jun had extended the threat of death to the enemy.
The armed elephants fell in the rice fields, and more were frightened and ran away. The corpses of enemy soldiers in the team were floating in the river, mud and water, and blood were stirred up. Before noon, the Jiaozhou army completely retreated.
Cheers and shouts rose and fell on land and on the water.
Feng Jiye, the main forward who was standing upright, looked back and sighed, "The people on the wild border are simply vulnerable! Before he could fight, it was over!"
Zhang Jiankui said calmly: "It's just that the dignified formation cannot compete with Da Xu's army. If you hide in the countryside and forests, this may be the situation."
Feng Jiye was still unsatisfied and said, "The enemy's troops were defeated. We should take advantage of the victory and chase them. It is the best way to gather people and horses as soon as possible."
Zhang Jiankui immediately advised: "No, we are here for the first time. We have never been to Jiaozhou before. Beware of ambushing."
Military Supervisor Zheng Xianchun also said: "Since you have defeated the invading enemy, you don't need to take risks."
Unexpectedly, Feng Jiye was furious and looked at them with contempt: "Mom's civil servant is Yangxu and cowardly, and he is timid and flinched! General Zhang, I see that you are beaten and dare not do anything except defending the city. You are afraid of wolves and tigers!"
Zheng Xianchun frowned and said seriously: "Mr. Cao asked us to do something very clear, stand at the stronghold to understand the enemy situation; Mr. Cao even repeatedly reminded General Feng to change his temper and not let him down, otherwise no one dared to make the decision for you. The pioneer did not rush to win or lose with the Jiaozhou military!"
After hearing this, Feng Jiye sneered, but he did not dare to ignore the layout of Cao Bin deploying in the south.
The sound of morale rising everywhere was still in my ears, so the dull and displeasure here seemed very out of place.
After a while, Feng Jiye said again: "I was a rough warrior who was unpleasant, so don't be surprised. But I have seen more military use than you. Even if we want to defend, we don't have to do it. At the moment, counterattack is also for defense."
He restrained his arrogance and anger, and looked at Zhang Jiankui, a burly man with a bearded heartily, "It's like you, General Zhang, is an honest man. So what if you are strong and strong? You can provoke you. No one can be afraid of anyone coming up and punching you and stepping on him. Can you resist? What's the better way? Whoever dares to touch you, will you hit you to death and chase half a city to fight? Then will you still have to be tired of resisting you?"
Zhang Jiankui's face turned pale and he had no words to refute.
Feng Jiye pointed to the enemy soldiers who fled in the distance and said, "The people in Ding's army are so arrogant. They don't give them any face to talk about it. They come to see each other directly! If they don't give them some colors, how can they be born? Can we calm down when we stay here in the future?"
Even the civil servant did not expect that this man who claimed to be a rough warrior was so sarcastic. Feng Jiye looked at Feng Jiye in a daze. Every sentence was all fallacy. "Let's look at the government's dealing with the Liao Kingdom. Do you want to talk to them with a calm face and a good temper? That's a beat up first and then it's easier to talk!"
Zheng Xianchun: “…”
Feng Jiye thought for a while and then calmly said, "Don't Zhang Jianjun want to build a fort, do you want a stone in the foundation? I remember you still want to use bricks to wrap the walls and don't use clay to open a kiln? I have knocked on these days, and there is no quarry nearby, and there is no good soil. If we just huddled in this small place, we can't do anything." He said again, "When I catch up with the enemy soldiers and catch a group of prisoners, I will have manpower!"
When Zhang Jiankui heard this, he seemed to be moved. He had been responsible for building two forts, both of which were made of simple earthen walls with civil engineering on the spot. This time he shipped some new bonding ash, and he wanted to make it more decent!
Zhang Jiankui said: "I am just a deputy general. Like Zheng Changshi, I am only worried about bad things."
Feng Jiye said: "There is no complete plan in war, how can you not dare to take any risks? Don't worry, this matter is because of my claim. If you suffer a loss, you can go to Cao Gong to file a complaint, and you will bear all the blame!"
He smiled teasingly again and said, "Of course, you can't count on the big deal."
Feng Jiye completely ignored the persuasion and ordered the gathering of troops to attack. Although the vanguard army also had a military office, according to the law of the Daxu Privy Council, the military office only had great power before the army was mobilized. The troops, weapons, and military supplies could not be coordinated without the military office. Once on the battlefield, the main general had the right to make a decision on the battle situation, and the decision-making power was still in the hands of the main general. The greatest role of the staff of the military office was to supervise and organize military orders.
Zheng Xianchun wanted to inform Cao Gong as soon as possible, but Cao Bin was far away in Guangzhou (the name of Xingwang Mansion was unlucky, so he changed his name to it). The land route was blocked and the sea route was slow. The risk of a single ship was extremely high. There was no one to save when something happened at sea. He was very anxious.
Feng Jiye ordered the remaining people to rely on the Jiaolong Army warships to protect themselves, and led nearly 3,000 main forces of the vanguard army to dispatch.
The main warships of the Jiaolong Army were unable to travel freely in the inland rivers, and they could not pass through the shallow areas. So Feng Jiye brought all the sand ships, marched along the river, advancing along the water and land, and climbed the Taiping River.
That night, Feng Jiye's department selected a place to camp on the riverside. At night, two Xu Jun squadrons were attacked, one was killed and one injured. Reinforcements did not dare to chase him far away at night, and they did not catch anything. They sounded the police gong and tossed for half a night, and the soldiers were quite tired.
The next morning, Feng Jiye heard the scout's report that there was a village and town five miles ahead. He immediately came up with a plan and had a way to retaliate against the enemy. He quickly found a commander and ordered in public: "The town in Wuli is a place where traitors hide and ambush. Take people to bring them..." As he said that, he stretched out his palm and waved it down and made an action.
The generals of the imperial guards were used to restraining their soldiers. After hearing this, they were immediately in an uproar. A general immediately said, "Since it is a market, it is decided to be mostly civilians. Wouldn't we kill indiscriminately? Military law cannot tolerate it!"
Feng Jiye said seriously: "We have to be reasonable. It turns out that the thief will not pretend to be a commoner, but they have to put words on their heads. When they see Xu Jun, they dance, 'I am a thief, I am a thief, come and kill me?!'"
When the generals saw him, they couldn't help laughing for a moment, and many people laughed out loud. Many people obviously changed their attitude. These martial artists were not good at all. They were very restrained after being under Guo Shao's command. It was nothing more than a strict military law reward and a means of kindness.
Feng Jiye said to the generals earnestly: "This kind of rioter is easy to kill, but not easy to distinguish. The best way is to razend all the places you go to. How can the enemy soldiers hide? Can we still go to the ground? We must be ruthless, and our brothers will die. People will die in war. Are you willing to let the enemy soldiers die, or let their brothers die?"
The generals agreed, and the commander just now said readily: "I'll do it now!"
Feng Jiye made arrangements and ordered the main force of water and land to set up the camp to continue moving forward. He boarded the flagship of the tower in the river and looked at it with interest when he walked into the cabin... The boat was really more unique than the big tent. On the battlefield, it was a pleasure to live here. The cabin was full of furniture, paper, pen and inkstones, and calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls of the boat. There was actually a piano case with a piano on it.
"General Feng asked." The civil servant of the military office bowed, "This ship originally belonged to the Navy of the Southern Han Kingdom. The general should be a crafty person. General Feng is so heroic that he is condescending."
Feng Jiye immediately said: "We have to be reasonable. I have no ink in my heart, but I respect the Confucian generals who are strategic and have people like Cao Gong. Tsk, plan and have a great style! Come in and play a song for me so that I can also be sober and cultivate and guard."
When the civil servant heard that Feng Jiye's words were respectful, he was very happy and bowed, "The villain is brave, I am afraid he will make a laugh."
The clerk stepped forward to debug, but found that a string was broken, so he was busy practicing the piano.
It took two incense sticks to finish it. Feng Jiye sat on the chair with great interest and called the guard to make tea.
"Ding Dong..." The crisp sound of the piano finally fell into a song, rippling from the water to the surroundings. Feng Jiye looked intoxicated, listening to the piano while watching the warships on the river, the black muzzles of mother-child cannons on the deck and the hideous metal dark light, soldiers wearing armor and fierce battle flags, forming a rough and spectacular scenery on the river surface, while the crisp and elegant sound of the piano seemed out of place, but it was integrated with it. Feng Jiye was very helpful to this contrast.
After a few songs, I suddenly saw a fire flickering on the river bank, thick smoke rolling, and there seemed to be a noisy cry in the wind.
Feng Jiye looked closely from the window of the cabin for a long time, and saw clearly the good things the people he sent did. He suddenly raised his head and laughed, stroking his hands and said, "Have fun! I hate the most. You can take a baby!"
The civil servants who were playing the piano were instantly frightened, and the sound of the piano was slightly out of tune. They were also very afraid of Feng Jiye, and their faces became paler.
