Chapter 683 The Third Stroke Chapter Fourteen "Famous General" Ai Wannian
It is no wonder that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, almost fainted on the spot. The Gansu General Soldier Wang Chengen Department, Deputy General Soldier Ai Wannian Department, and General He Renlong Department have a total of [-] troops under their command.

If they were lost together, then there would only be more than [-] people left under his command.With this number of people alone, let alone fight with the rebels for a day, I am afraid that even guarding the battalion to protect themselves, the officers and soldiers are still too busy to take care of themselves.

Then Chai Shihua and Zuo Guangxian also knew the seriousness of the matter, so how dare they provoke him?The two quickly agreed, and trotted all the way to arrange the manpower.

As a result, not long after the two left, they came back in a hurry to report: "Superintendent, Ai Wannian, the deputy commander, has returned, and will come to report the military situation in a while!"

"What's more important than seeing this official?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but ask unhappily as there was nowhere to vent his anger.

"This..." Zuo Guangxian and Chai Shihua hesitated before answering in a low voice, "Ai Wannian was injured a little bit and cannot move. Please wait for a while."

Hong Chengchou made himself feel bored, so he had no choice but to suppress his anger and keep it from voicing, but waited for Ai Wanqian to come.

Not long after, two soldiers were limping towards Hong Chengchou with one of them on their backs.Hong Chengchou took a closer look, if this is not Ai Wannian, the deputy commander, who is it?

At this time, it was the occasion of employing people, no matter how much unhappiness Hong Chengchou felt in his heart, he had to swallow it back.

He hurried forward a few steps, and asked with a sad face: "Ai Zongbing, what's wrong with you? Why did you end up here?"

Ai Wannian smiled wryly in his heart, and quickly responded: "Supervisor, Ai has insulted his mission, please forgive me!"

"That day, I followed the supervisor's plan. I took a man to hold a horse, bound his hooves, and went all the way to the east gate of Luoyang City in the dark without lights or lights. But I never expected that the thieves were already prepared. But when our army approached the city, Only one sound of cannon was heard, and suddenly the arrows were fired, and countless officers and soldiers were killed or injured."

"There was also Cao Bianjiao, who personally led hundreds of cavalry to charge the battle. Our army couldn't resist, so we had to retreat a few miles. I ordered the soldiers to light up the lights, and lined up to fight against the bandits at night. You come and go, originally The fight was fierce, but I didn't expect that Zhang Sanbai, who was originally guarding the Ziwei Star Fort, sneaked out of the city for some reason."

"Under the attack of the thieves, our army couldn't help being defeated. Cao Bianjiao knew my name, but he just chased me. I couldn't help being furious, and I went back to my horse to fight him. I never thought that I would fight Not Sanhe, I stumbled in the dark night, broke my legs and feet, and was almost captured by him."

"Fortunately, the left and right resisted desperately, and Cao Bianjiao didn't know who was injured, so he just chased most of the rest of the rout. Only then did the humble officer save his life."

"So I took advantage of the night to walk and gather the soldiers. Along the way, I couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north for a while. I waited and ran around like headless chickens, and unexpectedly ran out of the encirclement of thieves. At dawn, I After we found out where the big camp was, we rushed back to the camp in a panic."

"Then how is your injury? Did you see Wang Chengen and He Renlong along the way?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Uh," Ai Wannian, the deputy commander in chief, paused for a moment before replying in a low voice, "I got some news on the way. Official Wang Cheng'en was surrounded by thieves, unable to escape, and died in a fierce battle!"

In fact, what Ai Wannian said is true and false, half true and false.It turned out that Ai Wannian was actually flanked by Cao Bianjiao and Zhang Sanbai, and was defeated by the rebel army with heavy losses.

This guy was afraid of Hong Chengchou's punishment, so he had to gather up the rout and retreat all the way.As a result, unexpectedly, more and more soldiers were defeated, and even their accents were different from those of their subordinates.

After questioning, Ai Wannian discovered that there were other battalion troops that he gathered along the way.

Although Ai Wannian is a martial artist, under the influence of his family, he is more or less economically savvy.This can be seen from the fact that his father, Ai Yingjia, lent usury grain to Li Zicheng to make huge profits during the famine years.

Seeing this, he came up with a plan, took the opportunity to gather the routs of other battalions together, and used them as the number of troops under his command, so as to conceal the fact that he had suffered heavy losses.

In the end, there were more routs gathered, and he knew the fact that the officers and soldiers were defeated from the routs.He even learned the news that He Renlong had no hope of surrendering to the enemy and that Wang Chengen was outside the besieged city.

It's a pity that the people under his command are just mobs who have just gathered together, and he himself has no fighting spirit, so how dare he go to rescue him?

Ai Wannian pretended not to know, and just refused to save him.When the rebel army dispatched a large group of troops to besiege Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Lintao, he escaped from the gap between Ziwei Xingbao, Luoyang City, and Wang Chengen's defensive positions with his mob.

As for whether Wang Cheng'en, the general of Lintao, is dead or alive, he actually doesn't know.Ai Wannian was only worried that Hong Chengchou might have a whim, so he ordered himself to lead the crowd to rescue Wang Chengen.

At that time, the men and horses under his command will collapse at the first touch, and I am afraid that he will expose the fact that he has gathered other soldiers to become his own.

So Ai Wannian, who escaped his life by chance, deliberately broke his own leg first, and then led the crowd to limping back; at the same time, he falsely claimed that Wang Chengen was dead, so as to get rid of Hong Chengchou's thoughts.

How could Hong Chengchou be suspicious when he heard the words?The huge fear was like a big hand, grabbing his heart fiercely, and twisting it twice desperately.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help covering his chest and took two steps back, raised his hands, and shouted loudly: "Alas, God mourns, God mourns!"

In combat in this era, cold weapons and primitive firecrackers and artillery are actually not very lethal.More deaths still occurred at the stage when the loser was being hunted down all the way.

Originally, Hong Chengchou thought that although the defeat this time was just affecting the morale of the officers and soldiers.Since the battlefield is relatively close to the officers and soldiers camp, the actual loss will not be great.

At that time, he only needs to use the camp facilities to win a few defensive battles and restore the morale of the officers and soldiers. The outcome is still unknown.

But he never expected that in this battle alone, he lost a general and a general, and injured a deputy.The men under his command might not lose more than ten thousand people, so how can this battle be fought?

Ai Wannian, the deputy general, looked at Hong Chengchou's expression, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, and quickly responded: "Don't worry, supervisor, in fact, our troops have not lost much. Although I dare not say that we still have the strength to fight, at least let me Brought back all beards and tails."

"Oh? How many people are there under your command?" Hong Chengchou calmed down after hearing the words, as if he had finally heard good news today.

"I really don't know!" Ai Wannian, the deputy commander in chief, replied with some embarrassment when he heard the words, "However, don't be impatient, the supervisor, I will take a count and report back in a moment!"

"Okay, the governor will give you another hour!" Hong Chengchou nodded upon hearing this.

That Ai Wannian couldn't help but suppress the cheers in his heart, and hurriedly took orders.It's just that after a while, I was dumbfounded.

It turned out that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, gave him [-] soldiers and horses when he went to attack the east gate of Luoyang.Among them, let's not mention how many people are empty-paid and old and weak, but after his counting, there are [-] more people under his command, how can this be explained?

Do I want to report to Hong Chengchouhui that "others pay empty wages, but I pay real wages, so our officers and soldiers are not only more than his battalion, but also more than the quota"?
