Chapter 4342 Captured alive
Chai Lingwu didn't know what he thought of, his whole body stirred up, and he struggled again. While struggling, he screamed loudly with his eyes split open: "Fang Er, you are a shameless thief. If you have the ability to kill me, don't even think about using my life to force my father-in-law." Director, you can do whatever you want!”
Fang Jun: "..."
Gao Kan: "..."
A group of Youtunwei generals: "..."
All eyes turned to Fang Jun, wondering about the meaning of Chai Lingwu's words. It turned out that the handsome man from home, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, turned out to be a "good princess" like the one in the legend. Even the married Princess Baling was... If you don't let him go, Chai Ling Wu Ning will refuse to be humiliated even if he dies.
This was too much. All the generals almost forgot that they were on the battlefield at this moment, and looked at Fang Jun with twinkling eyes.
Fang Jun was completely baffled and stared at Chai Lingwu Dao: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
He also said to everyone: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense. How can I be such a shameless and dishonest person?"
Everyone shook their heads together, their movements uniform, but their burning eyes betrayed their true thoughts...
Fang Jun was speechless.
Even if Chai Lingwu is captured, not everyone has the face to plead for mercy, right? Last time, Princess Baling came before His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't want to come forward and asked me to handle the matter. Do you, Chai Lingwu, think that your wife is very respectable with me?
But then I thought about it, something was definitely wrong. Could it be that this guy was embarrassed to speak directly, so he said irony to imply that as long as I captured him without killing him, I would be willing to let my wife come to me to plead for mercy, and I would pay any "price" by the way. ?
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it might be the case, and I suddenly became angry. This is an insult to my character!
He glared at Chai Lingwu and scolded: "Shameless person, you are greedy for life and fear death and sell your wife for glory, but you also want to harm my reputation? Come on, arrest this guy first and keep him under strict custody. If I don't Anyone who asks for mercy will be ignored!”
Everyone: "Oh..."
Gao Kan simply ordered the soldiers to come forward and take Chai Lingwu away, and ordered: "Except Princess Baling, no matter who comes to plead for mercy, they will be rejected."
"Here!"
The soldiers took Chai Lingwu down, who was struggling and shouting "shameless person" and other words, and stuffed a rag into his mouth, and then he became quiet.
Fang Jun glared at Gao Kan: "What do you mean by that? You clearly don't trust me, right?"
Gao Kan said helplessly: "Although you have handed over the post of General of Youtunwei, you have reorganized and reorganized us Youtunwei. We are all your soldiers from top to bottom. Your words are orders at any time, even if we are facing swords and mountains of fire." pleased From now on, we will all be your generals after we retire, so why should you be cautious in front of us? It’s okay for us to snatch any lady or daughter you like, there’s no need to play tricks, right?” br>
Everyone on the side nodded: "You can do whatever you want!"
Fang Jun: "...Mom! I can't explain it, can I?"
Just as he was about to teach Gao Kan a lesson, a scout came galloping from the north. As he approached, he shouted loudly: "The left guard has raised troops from Liquan. An army of 20,000 has been marching for a long distance. It has passed Jingyang and is about to reach the north bank of the Wei River!"
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Fang Jun frowned and asked: "Is General Yin Qinzhou, the Zuohouwei general, leading the army?"
The scout replied: "Exactly."
Yin Qinzhou was the younger brother of Duke Yin Kaishan of the State of Yun. He was appointed as the general of the Zuohou Guards and was in charge of Liquan. He was considered a mediocre and influential branch of the Sixteenth Guards, but at this time, he was ahead of the rest of the people with ulterior motives in the absence of an imperial edict. He raised his troops and rushed to Chang'an, his ambitions were not small.
Fang Jun asked Gao Kan: "Are the firearms equipped?"
Gao Kan first asked the captain next to him, and then replied: "Nearly 10,000 people have been equipped. Because the enemy is currently in force, they can only take turns to equip. It will take up to an hour before the entire army is equipped."
The Zuo Tun Guards are close at hand, so they must leave enough troops to form a camp, and the rest are equipped with firearms. Otherwise, if the entire army is equipped together, once the enemy breaks through, disaster will be imminent.
Fang Jun said: "That's enough. Let the troops equipped with firearms form an array. Let's defeat the Zuotun Guard first, and then occupy the Xuanwu Gate. We will wait for Yin Qinzhou at the Xuanwu Gate to see if he dares to come with these monsters and snake gods!"
"Here!"
Everyone had never heard of the word "cow ghosts and snake gods", but they knew it was definitely not a good word. They all cheered up and sent orders down one level. The whole army had high morale and was running like a sophisticated machine.
More than a thousand people gathered the wounded soldiers under the command of the accompanying army doctor. Even the rebels who were not dead were carried to dozens of tents opened behind the Chinese army's tent for treatment together. Fighting, but now no one can bear to die without saving.
This army was originally restructured by Fang Jun. It was transformed from the government army system to the recruitment system, which was the first of its kind in the regular army restructuring of the Tang Dynasty. All the rules and structures were almost entirely promoted by Fang Jun, and its prestige in the military was unparalleled.
Especially after the army was formed, it became the first army in the Tang Dynasty mainly equipped with firearms. Its combat power was so tyrannical that it almost crushed an era. Following Fang Jun's army, he defeated Xue Yantuo and created immortal achievements, and went on an expedition to the west. Territory defeated the 200,000-strong Dashi army that invaded the frontier. The reputation shocked the countries in the western border. Then they marched thousands of miles to return to Chang'an and defeated the Guanlong rebels. They abandoned their helmets and armor and cried for their fathers. Guarantee.
It can be said that Youtunwei is Fang Jun's army. His prestige in the army is enough to overwhelm everyone. Even the soldiers who were instigated to rebel suddenly dispersed when they saw him returning to the army, with no intention of fighting anymore. ……
All the generals were also excited. Although almost all the firearms produced by the Foundry Bureau were transported to Youtunwei, the military order strictly prohibited the leakage of information, so the entire army was strictly sealed off. Except for the troops responsible for escorting, the deputy general was waiting for a moment. All the captains knew the truth, and now they were inexplicably excited as they saw more than ten thousand troops equipped with firearms getting ready to go.
The Youtunwei started out with firearms. As long as they are equipped with firearms, they can be proud of any powerful army in the world, not to mention the Zuotunwei who has been beaten up by riding under him many times?
The two armies were adjacent to each other, and the competition was extremely fierce. Even food, vegetables, charcoal, seasonings, etc. had to be fought over, and there was deep resentment between the two armies. In the past, it was the Right Guard who had always dominated the Zuen Guard, but since Fang Jun resigned, Gao Kan and others could not compete with Chai Zhewei regardless of their official positions, titles, backgrounds, etc. The Zuo Guard suddenly became rich and arrogant, leading the Right Guard. Dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Now that Fang Jun has returned to the army and is even equipped with firearms, almost everyone is holding back their energy and gives Zuo Tunwei a hard blow on the waist.
……
Chai Zhewei was sitting in the rear urging the army to charge towards the Youtunwei camp. Suddenly, news came from the front that Chai Lingwu had just arrived at the Youtunwei camp and was attacked by the opponent's cavalry and captured alive.
"...!"
Chai Zhewei looked shocked. If he hadn't been a compatriot, he would have been a lot gentler and gentler. Although Chai Lingwu's mother knew that her younger brother was a good-natured and a playboy, could she really be so wasteful?
He glared at the captain who came back to report the news, and angrily said: "I have placed hundreds of generals beside him for protection. How can I break the formation as soon as they meet and capture them alive?"
It is easy to kill people on the battlefield, but it is extremely difficult to capture them alive. This means that there is a huge gap in combat power between the two sides. The captured party has almost no power to fight back. Otherwise, it only needs a struggle and it will not be captured alive.
The captain said helplessly: "I don't know when the enemy suddenly rushed out with a group of armored cavalry. Although there were only a hundred or so cavalry, they were invincible and couldn't be stopped! Moreover, the enemy troops rushed directly to where Chai Consort was, and they were really caught off guard. ”
Chai Zhewei frowned: "Equipment?"
The armored cavalry used to be the elite unit of Youtun Guard. They followed Fang Jun in the north and south without a single defeat, and their fame shocked the world. However, since Youtun Guard began to equip firearms on a large scale, the armored cavalry has been repeatedly reduced and replaced by mobile ones. The more powerful light cavalry, to this day, almost all the armored cavalry of Youtun Guard have been abolished.
The only troops that retain the armored cavalry are probably Fang Jun’s personal troops...
"Hiss——"
Chai Zhewei took a breath and asked quickly: "But Fang Jun returned to Youtunwei?"
It's not that he made a fuss, he was really scared of being beaten by Fang Jun. At first, he relied on King Jing Li Yuanjing to attack the Xuanwu Gate with strong soldiers and horses, and tried to be promoted from the Dragon Minister to a noble title, but he was beaten by Fang Jun. He abandoned his armor and was completely defeated.
If Princess Baling hadn't begged Fang Jun "at all costs" and allowed the Chai family to take advantage of the situation and reorganize Zuotunwei, the Chai family would have been completely defeated by now...
Chai Zhewei had an unparalleled fear in his heart towards Fang Jun.
The captain shook his head blankly: "Didn't Fang Jun lead his army to guard Taiji Palace at Xuandemen? Now that the king of Jiangxia has entered the palace, Fang Jun must be leading his army to resist. How dare he leave the palace without permission and return to Youtun to guard at this time?"
Chai Zhewei thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Li Daozong suddenly rebelled and led his army into the palace from Xuanwu Gate. Even he did not know about this beforehand. When he first learned about it, he was shocked and speechless. The guard who was entrusted by the emperor to guard Xuanwu Gate rebelled brazenly. Tai Chi The palace faces Li Daozong's military peak, victory is easily within reach!
Presumably Fang Jun was in a panic when the incident came to an end, and all his energy had to be put on resisting Li Daozong. Otherwise, if Li Daozong was allowed to wreak havoc in the palace, how could Fang Jun make a comeback even if he had the power to conquer the world?
As long as Fang Jun is not around, why should Gao Kan and his ilk be afraid?
He immediately ordered: "The situation is critical, and the entire plan cannot be disrupted by the life or death of one person, even if this person is the brother of this commander! Pass the order, the whole army presses forward, no matter how much resistance is encountered, they are not allowed to retreat even half a step, let me overwhelm them. ! ”
The Youtun Guards had less than 40,000 soldiers before, but Cheng Wuting took 5,000 to Xuandemen. Li Daliang instigated thousands more to rebel. Coupled with the large-scale casualties during the conflict, the number of troops with combat power may even be insufficient now. 20,000 soldiers, whose morale is shaken and their morale is low. How can they remain undefeated under the impact of tens of thousands of their own well-equipped troops?
As long as Youtunwei is defeated, even if Fang Jun is not in charge, he can avenge his past humiliation and wash away the previous shame. Who will hold him in the future because he is too timid to go to the Western Regions and was defeated by Youtunwei? To mock him?
This battle is not only about whether the Chai family can be a feudal side in the future and be passed down for generations, but also about whether they can wash away their shame and regain their prestige. There is no room for loss. It is simply a God-given opportunity, and it is natural to seize it tightly.
Chai Zhewei was so ambitious that with a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of soldiers poured into the Youtunwei camp like a tide and charged boldly. (End of chapter)
