(Today's 9,000-word update has been completed, red ticket, brother is more powerful!) ）

Lin Jian rode directly to the top of the mountain, looking at the boundless land under the moon, the black shadows in the southwest, people howling and neighing, Jin Ge striking each other, and the whistling wind sounded like arrows flying in the air.

Lin Xuwen, Yang Zhishan, and Liu Zhice dragged their horses behind, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the mountain road was rugged, and they could only dismount and walk behind. Although the official ranks of the three of them were higher than Lin Lian, no one could deny that Lin Lian was the master of the battlefield within a radius of tens of miles. The soldiers on the left and right, including the remnants of the hundreds of soldiers in the Jin Dynasty led by Wu Tian of Wukou Village, also obeyed the orders of Lin Tie.

Lin Xuwen was not good at riding, so he stumbled to the mountainside surrounded by the guards on both sides, climbed off the horse, and climbed along the rugged mountaintop.

Wang Dengtai Mountain is a dirt mountain, not high, only eleven or twelve zhang, in the eyes of people who are accustomed to seeing Xiongqi Mountain, Wang Dengtai Mountain can only be regarded as a small soil bag. The whole mountain is full of earth, but at the top of the mountain, there is a huge stone platform like a big house flying out of thin air, forming a huge stone platform standing on the top of the mountain.

The local chronicles record that the Qin Emperor traveled east to climb the stone and watch the sea, this stone was named the king on the stage, and the mountain was also named, so that this place became a victory in the territory of Jinhai, and they also saw a small temple that was burned down in the war on the mountainside when they came.

Lin Xuwen was still some way away from the top of the mountain, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Lian, who was standing on the boulder on the top of the mountain watching the battle, as if he was in the middle of the moon, and the crimson armor he was wearing was blown away by the strong wind, and the exposed cyan armor reflected a cold luster in the moonlight, revealing the spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers at this moment.

Lin Xuwen was slightly stunned, and read the name of this earth mountain in his heart: Wang Dengtai, Wang Dengtai, do you have to say a word? He shook his head and smiled wryly, banishing the rebellious thought out of his mind. Although he did not leave Jingshi and return to Shanglin in the past two years, he knew everything that happened in Shanglin. Before his father died, he did not make arrangements, and dictated a secret letter to him. The letter said that if Lin Jian was greedy and stretched out his hand to encroach on the family property, he would not be a person with great ambitions, and he should rush back to Jiangning in the name of filial piety no matter what; If Lin Jian can endure and not stretch out his hand, maybe he will be a generation of heroes, and if he can get along with each other, he will get along with each other, and if he can't get along with him, he must avoid internal fighting and hurt the vitality of the Lin family.

No matter what the world is, the clan is the foundation.

Lin Xuwen thought that when his father died, Lin Jian had not yet emerged, and his father had such an assertion that his father's vision really surpassed his own too much, but when his father was dying, he really didn't care about the inexplicable relationship between Aunt Seven and Lin Lian?

"What is the eldest prince thinking?"

Lin Xuwen looked back and saw that it was Lin Mengde who came up, smiled, and said: "I was thinking that this battle was a complete opening up of the situation in Hejian Mansion......" Although Lin Mengde said that he was a generation older, he was a peer, and he had a close relationship between Lin Jian and Lin Jingzhong since he was a child, but after he became an adult, people marked many external factors such as identity, status, and fame, and Lin Xuwen was an official in Beijing for a long time, and the relationship became estranged. At this time, Lin Xuwen is also a high-ranking fourth-grade right capital of the imperial history, and Lin Mengde has just been rewarded with the title of Nine-Rank Confucian Lin Lang, and the identities of the two are also very different.

Lin Mengde smiled and said, "The next should be interspersed with the west of Baoding Mansion, I can't stay and serve the eldest prince......

"Fight off the Dongyu and have your own chance to get together and drink." Lin Xuwen also said arrogantly.

This battle will be Nahe Xiongqi defeated and disabled, Jiangdong Left Army combined with Jinhai Zhai soldiers, the scale of more than 5,000, with Cangnan and Jinhai three victories over the prestige of Jie, the spirit of Changhong, even if it does not go west to Taihang Mountain, it can contain 8,000 to 10,000 cavalry - Donglu does not dare to use four or five thousand cavalry to suppress this side.

If the DPRK and China decide to take Lin Jian as the main commander and continue to strengthen the forces of Hejian Province by sea, they will be able to contain more captives.

Although Lin Xuwen did not know the specific way to govern the army, he still had his own opinions on strategy.

This time, the Eastern Captives entered the Kou and fought on two fronts, the north and the south, and the troops were already stretched, and they formed enough threats to their flanks in Hejian Province, so what choice did the Eastern Captives have but to shrink and retreat? This battle can be said to have completely brought the whole situation to life.

For Lin Xuwen, the great merit of participating in the retreat of the enemy can be said to be within reach, and the timing is still just in time, if he comes a day late, Lin Jian will give him some credit, and he is still embarrassed.

Liu Zhi and Yang Zhishan stood and waited for Lin Xuwen and Lin Mengde to come over, and then climbed to the top of the mountain together.

The escort troops who came first had already cleared the top of the mountain, except for dozens of elite soldiers who were still sitting on horseback and on standby, and each team of elite soldiers formed a formation on the left and right of Wang Dengtai, and did not relax their vigilance because the nearby captives had been completely cleared.

"Lin Du supervises the army is really strict," Liu Zhi climbed to the top of the mountain and gasped a little, crossed his waist and looked at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "A certain family has followed Lord Hao to live in the Jibei soldiers for a while, and the military appearance of the Jiangdong Left Army will be better than the Jibei soldiers......"

"Lord Liu has an overreputation, the Jibei soldiers are called the strongest soldiers in the world, where can the Jiangdong Left Army overpower the Jibei soldiers?" Lin Jian smiled, his eyes narrowed and narrow, and he couldn't see his expression in the moonlight, so he said a perfunctory word to Liu Zhi.

At this time, the scout came over and reported: "The southwest has bitten a big fish, it is a deputy commander of the Eastern Captives, and Commander Cao hopes that all the troops that can be drawn here will be drawn over......"

"I know, you go back to Cao Ziang: this big fish, we have to eat it!" Lin Jian said, "In the past ten years of border battles, our army has not yet won the victory of capturing generals above the level of deputy commander of the Eastern Captives, and Cao Ziang wants to inspire the officers and men of the whole army to cooperate with friendly troops and fight this beautiful battle." Seeing Wu Zhong coming immediately, he said to him, "Captain Wu, you come with me." Before the war, I had an agreement with Captains Ma, Zhou, and Yang that there would be special auxiliaries to clean up the battlefield, but there were still many soldiers in the Jin Dynasty who left the team without permission and scattered to snatch the heads and search for the enemy's corpses...... Now that the battlefield ahead needs the support of the non-commissioned officers with all their might, I hope that Captain Wu will lead a team of law enforcement soldiers to go over and privately harvest the heads of the enemy, search for the corpses of the enemy and disturb the appearance of our army. Reinforcements from the east will come at any time, and we should gather all our forces to press to the southwest, and annihilate the enemy in the southwest as much as possible...... It should be your military exploits and your capture, I will never hide anything from you, please believe me this time. ”

Wu Tian's face was full of shame, the fifth battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army fought from morning to night, and always maintained a complete and orderly pursuit array, almost no soldiers stopped to snatch and cut off the first level of battle exploits or search for the enemy's corpses, even if there were individual hands and feet were not clean, they would be severely punished on the spot if they were found by the law supervision team.

In contrast, although the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers are veterans with rich combat experience, but the military discipline is much worse, after killing the captive cavalry, repeatedly warned before the war, wartime is still accustomed to cutting off the head and taking it away, scrambling to search for the enemy's corpse to find goods, and after nightfall it becomes more and more difficult to control, not waiting for the captives to rush and kill, their formation will be dispersed first, and the follow-up pursuit ability will be quickly weakened......

Wu Tian gathered more than 200 people as a law enforcement team, and shouted: "Draw out the horse whip and knife, those guys have lost the face of the Jin Zhong soldiers, if it is useless to whip the horse whip, they will directly cut ...... with the knife" took more than 200 people to ride down Wang Dengtai Mountain.

Liu Zhi, Yang Zhishan, and Lin Xuwen all knew at this time that it was the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers who were fighting with the Jiangdong Left Army, and their expressions were different, but it was wartime now, and they couldn't say anything.

Lin Jian didn't care what Liu Zhi, Yang Zhishan, and Lin Xuwen were thinking, and watched Wu Tian lead the crowd down the mountain to supervise the battle, and he didn't say anything.

The military merit assessment of later generations mainly calculates military merit based on the degree of completion of tactical or strategic intentions, which is much more scientific and reasonable, and has few drawbacks, but the military merit assessment of the current world is simple and crude. For ordinary soldiers, the first level of merit is even more crucial, a first level reward can almost be worth an acre of land, and three heads can be promoted at least one level.

After an old soldier kills an enemy, he does not think about continuing to kill the enemy, but the first thing he thinks of is to cut off the enemy's head to avoid being snatched by others, and the goods obtained from the search of the enemy's corpse are his own private gains.

This crude and simple method of calculating military merits weakens and damages one's own combat capability, and sometimes it is fatal, and many veterans patronize the cutting of the head, and do not care about continuing to pursue and kill the enemy soldiers, or even kill the enemy soldiers who fight back.

It is easy for melee troops to grab the first rank, but it is difficult for bow and crossbow classes to grab the first rank, and the combat enthusiasm will be dampened. There are also some soldiers who do not contribute to the battle, but they are very good at grabbing the first rank, and they directly undermine the cohesion of the army.

The Jiangdong Left Army is a new recruit of 3,000 soldiers, compared with the old soldiers have many deficiencies, but it is also a new soldier, not contaminated with any bad habits, plasticity is stronger, Lin Jian completely implemented his law of governing the army without resistance, from Jiangning to Jinan, its military discipline is far better than the town army.

The remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers cannot be said to be not elite, maybe the soldiers are singled out to fight alone, and the new soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army can't beat the old pawns of the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers, but marching and fighting is definitely not a simple matter of one-on-one. Up to now, the Jiangdong Left Army has been able to maintain a complete pursuit array, biting a captive cavalry in the southwest direction of Wang Dengtai Mountain, and the infantry array of the remnants of the Jinzhong soldiers has been almost completely dragged behind, and only a small part of the cavalry has been interspersed into the front line under the personal leadership of Yang Yihang, Ma Yigong, Wei Zhonglong and other brave generals to cooperate with the battle, and has played a huge role in delaying the retreat of the captive cavalry.

Wu Tian was also full of shame, since the joint army, they thought that Lin Tie was good at using his strategy, plus some luck, and only achieved two great victories. Looking at the new pawns of the Jiangdong Left Army, they are not as good as the old pawns of Jinzhong with a foot bow, not as good as the old pawns in Jinzhong on horseback, and not as good as the old pawns in Jinzhong with a knife, but when they really pulled out to fight against the captive cavalry, they found that the gap with the Jiangdong Left Army was so big. He couldn't figure out where the problem was for a while, as if Lin Tie had a magical hand to bless the Jiangdong Left Army.

Wu Tian was ashamed to lead the execution team to gallop down, driving those Jin sergeants who grabbed the first rank and merit to assemble under the moon and quickly move to the southwest, thinking that this battle could capture or kill a deputy commander of the Eastern Army, and such a battle merit would be equally distributed to the heads of the remnants of the Jin Zhong soldiers, so as to gain the initiative not to hold Gao Yang accountable for the fiasco.
