Chapter 1031: Shame and Courage
Knowing that Liu Wei clearly pointed out that he wanted Wei Yan to lead the army, Zhang Liao on the side was stunned for a moment, and then he hugged his fists and said to Wei Yan: "The last general will obey General Wei's orders!" โ
With the precedent of Shouchun's victory in the first battle, Wei Yan was directly promoted from a partial general to a Yamen general, and he could be regarded as the lowest-ranking general in the Qin army.
In front of Zhang Liao and others, if it comes to official positions, I am afraid that he is still not qualified to be anyone's deputy.
But Liu Wei ordered him to lead the army, which really flattered Wei Yan.
It was only Wei Yan and Zhang Liao who sent back to Luoyang earlier to convey the order, and Wei Yan was inconvenient to say anything to the messenger, first gave Zhang Liao a salute back, and then clasped his hands into fists, arched into the air and said: "His Royal Highness has appointed a certain as the main general, and a certain will definitely break the Qingzhou army, and live up to His Highness's kindness!" โ
"Let's go!" Without saying anything to the soldiers of the Qin army, Wei Yan thanked the sky and beckoned the army to go on the march.
A horn sounded, Zhang Liao and the others followed closely behind Wei Yan and marched in the direction of Songshan, and tens of thousands of troops also followed.
When the soldiers of the Qin army were marching, there was a strong fighting spirit in the ranks.
The 1,000 Qin troops who went to explore the way were ambushed by the Qingzhou army and annihilated, for this Qin army, it was a blood debt that had to be repaid with blood!
Tens of thousands of Qin troops advanced towards Songshan, and at the Xuanyuan Pass, the two thousand Qin troops who stayed behind looked at the departing Tongze from afar, and their faces showed their desire to fight.
When the army goes out, it is inevitable that the Qingzhou army will encounter it, and the Tongze people can go into battle to fight, but they can only stay here to guard Xuanyuan Pass.
The Qin army at the pass didn't know that although it was inevitable that their Tongze would leave and meet the Qingzhou army, the battle they would face would be more brutal than the departing Qin army.
The 10,000 Qingzhou troops stood loosely on the dirt slope that annihilated the Qin army's pathfinder soldiers and horses, their clothes and armor were simple, compared with the sophisticated equipment of the Qin army, they did not look like an army, but more like a temporary patchwork of outcasts.
Holding a rudimentary shield and blade, the eyes of every Qingzhou army looked directly at Sun Guan and Xun You in front of them.
Xun You put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes slightly, his chin rose slightly, his gaze did not linger on the Qingzhou soldiers in front of him, but looked at the white clouds in the sky, as if thinking about something.
Sun Guan, who was standing in front of Xun You, was pressing the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and a pair of tiger eyes were wandering on the faces of the 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers in front of him.
No matter where Sun Guan's eyes stayed, the Qingzhou soldiers in that place would straighten their waists, as if they wanted Sun Guan to see their spirits.
The Qingzhou army only won a battle, although the enemy army was only a thousand people, and it was only after entering the ambush circle and suffering an ambush that the Qingzhou army was annihilated by far more people than them.
But this battle, for the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who have fought countless times with the Qin army, is undoubtedly a timely rain like a long drought.
After countless battles with the Qin army and countless defeats, the Qingzhou army was almost about to lose the courage to fight with the Qin army.
annihilated a thousand Qin troops, and what the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army saw was that the Qin army was not invincible!
Looking around at the Qingzhou Army officers and soldiers in front of him, Sun Guan's face was solemn, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Xuanyuan Pass, and shouted to all the Qingzhou soldiers present: "Who can sue General Sรนben, where is he?" โ
10,000 Qingzhou troops turned their heads one after another, followed Sun Guan's fingers, and looked in the direction of Xuanyuan Pass.
Xuanyuan Pass is very far away from here, standing here, it is impossible to see the pass they once guarded, but every Qingzhou army knows that what Sun Guan wants them to see is nothing more than Xuanyuan Pass.
"General Hui, that place is Xuanyuan Pass!" After glancing at the direction of Xuanyuan Pass, an officer of the Qingzhou Army stepped out of the array, bowed with his fists, and answered loudly.
"Yes!" Putting down his arm, Sun Guan nodded heavily, and shouted to the Qingzhou soldiers present: "Xuanyuan Pass, in the past, I used to guard for us, who can sue General Sรนben, and now in whose hands is it?" โ
When Sun Guan asked this sentence, the faces of every Qingzhou army were somewhat ugly.
looked at each other, and no one answered Sun Guan.
Looking around at the 10,000 Qingzhou troops in front of him, Sun Guan's eyes narrowed, the green tendons on his head jumped a few times, and he shouted to those Qingzhou troops again: "Who can tell General Sรนben, in whose hands is it?" โ
Still no one responded to Sun Guan, all the Qingzhou troops lowered their heads, and everyone's faces showed guilt.
The soldiers lowered their heads with guilt, but the corners of Sun Guan's mouth pulled up slightly, nodded and said to them: "Very good, you still know shame, this general is very pleased!" โ
This sentence made the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army feel embarrassed for a while.
When the Qin army poured into the pass from the pass, the Qingzhou army, which was more numerous than the Qin army, was actually driven from Xuanyuan Pass to Songshan by the Qin army like a pig and a dog.
"Shame and courage!" Looking at the Qingzhou soldiers in front of him, Sun Guan did not speak again, but Xun You, who was standing behind him, smiled slightly, his eyes bent into a crescent moon, and he took a step forward, his eyes condensed on the group of Qingzhou soldiers who were facing him, and said to all the Qingzhou soldiers present: "As a soldier, defeat is not terrible!" What I am afraid of is defeat and shamelessness! โ
Xun You opened his mouth to speak, and more than 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers raised their heads and turned their eyes to his face, waiting for him to continue.
"General Sun's talent means that he is proud of you!" Raising his right hand, Xun Yu slowly stretched out his arm forward, raised it diagonally at forty-five degrees, and shouted to the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army: "You are a shameful army, a big Han tiger wolf!" Just Qin Jun, how can you stop you from waiting? โ
Sun Guan and Xun You, with a white face and a red face, complemented each other perfectly, first making the Qingzhou soldiers present feel a heavy sense of shame in their hearts, and then praise them again.
In this way, it really has a very prominent role in improving the fighting spirit and morale.
Before Xun You finished speaking, Sun Guan, who was standing beside him, nodded his head, and shouted to the 10,000 Qingzhou army in a thick voice: "The words of the military advisor are not bad, this general is exactly what he wants to tell you to wait!" โ
Sun Guan also changed his attitude abruptly, which made it a little difficult for the 10,000 Qingzhou troops to accept for a while.
More than 10,000 pairs of eyes all looked at Sun Guan, waiting for what he was going to say later.
Raising his hand again and pointing in the direction of Xuanyuan Pass, Sun Guan shouted to the more than 10,000 Qingzhou troops: "When the Japanese general lost Xuanyuan Pass, and now he wants you to recapture it, can you have confidence?" โ
I had long known that they were going to take advantage of the main force of the Qin army to advance to Songshan and take the opportunity to recapture the 10,000 Qingzhou Army soldiers of Xuanyuan Pass.
At this sound, the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army shouted very loudly, and even the mountain hill seemed to be trembling by their shouting.
But after they shouted, Sun Guan put his right hand to his ear and shouted to the Qingzhou soldiers present: "What did you say? General Ben can't hear it! โ
"Yes!" A louder response shook the hill and shook the hearts of everyone on the hill.
"What's there? General Ben doesn't know! With his hand still in his ear, Sun Guan shouted loudly again!
"Retake Xuanyuan Pass!" A skilful officer drew his sword from his waist, raised it aloft, and shouted.
As soon as the officer's shout fell, more than 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers raised their swords in their hands and shouted in unison: "Recapture Xuanyuan Pass!" โ
The morale of the soldiers had reached its peak, and Sun Guan knew that no matter what he said, it would not have the effect of further improving the morale.
Raising his arm and pointing in the direction of Xuanyuan Pass, Sun Guan shouted: "Let's go!" โ
There was no horn and no war drums, and 10,000 soldiers of the Qingzhou Army lined up in a line and quietly walked into the mountains and forests.
The main force of the Qin army is advancing here, Sun Guan wants to lead the main force to ambush the Qin army, and their 10,000 people are carrying the heavy task of recapturing Xuanyuan Pass!
In the jungle, there are dense grass and trees, and it is difficult for 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers to maintain a neat formation when walking through the jungle.
The team was scattered and chaotic, but no one was left behind, and the chests of all the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were boiling with blood at this time.
Recapture Xuanyuan Pass with one heart, so that the world will no longer despise their blood.
It's just two or three hours later, under the hillside where the Qingzhou soldiers marched, an army wearing red armor advanced towards Songshan like a red river, and in the jungle on the hillside, one by one the Qingzhou soldiers rushed straight to Xuanyuan Pass with the help of the cover of the jungle.
Riding a war horse, he was marching towards Songshan Mountain, Wei Yan suddenly reined in his horse and shouted behind him: "General Tai Shici!" โ
Tai Shici was originally not very far away from Wei Yan, but when he heard Wei Yan calling him, he hurriedly clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse to Wei Yan's approach.
"Lead five thousand soldiers and horses, enter the mountains, take advantage of the cover of the mountains and forests, and return to Xuanyuan Pass!" Looking up at the mountains and forests on both sides, Wei Yan gave Tai Shici an order to let him lead his army back to Xuanyuan Pass.
was about to meet the Qingzhou army and fight with them, but when he heard Wei Yan's order, Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment and did not execute it immediately.
"What concerns does the general have?" Tai Shi Ci didn't immediately receive the order, Wei Yan frowned slightly, and asked him.
"The Qingzhou army is in Songshan, and the last general will lead the army back to Xuanyuan Pass, what are your intentions?" Clenched his fists and saluted Wei Yan, Tai Shici asked the doubts in his heart.
"If this general is Sun Guan, he will definitely take advantage of the main force of our army to advance to Songshan and send troops to recapture Xuanyuan Pass!" Gazing at each other with Tai Shi Ci, Wei Yan said to him: "The reason why General Ben didn't let General Tai Shi stay in Xuanyuan Pass earlier was to ask the general to lead the troops to take the Qingzhou Army by surprise from behind!" โ
