Chapter 274 The Great Victory
breaking Dawn.

The sky light illuminates the Zhanghan military camp.

Chen Sheng pressed his sword and, surrounded by a large number of soldiers, walked slowly inside the dilapidated camp, reviewing the results of last night's battle.

The fight ended in the middle of the night last night.

In the second half of the night, the main force of the [-] Red Army came to take over the Zhanghan army camp, bombarded the army, lowered the soldiers, and cleaned the battlefield.

As the vanguard, the first and second divisions of the Red Army, as well as the [-] Iron Cavalry Pioneers led by Li Xin, launched a pursuit against the remnants of the Zhanghan Army who escaped from the camp.

After a night of cleaning, there are not many corpses to be seen in the camp at the moment, only pieces of purplish red soil are still silently describing the intensity of the fighting last night...

Or, it would be more appropriate to use slaughter to describe last night's battle.

As Chen Sheng walked along, he saw a large number of Zhang Han soldiers who only wore thin summer casual clothes. Groups were squatting with their hands cut by ropes, trembling and squatting together, like groups of chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered.

And often dozens of people share a rope.

One or two hundred people were guarded by 200 or [-] red-clothed soldiers.

Soldiers are defeated like mountains, and soldiers are defeated like mountains, and it is morale and courage that fall.

A defeated army is not as good as a bandit, and a stray army is a thief...

When he arrived at the military tent, Chen Sheng saw the handsome flag fluttering outside the tent, which had been replaced by his "Chen" handsome flag.

Fan Zeng, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield in the tent, heard that Chen Sheng was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a bow: "I see you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Sheng helped him up and said softly, "Go into the tent and talk."

Fan Zeng turned sideways and asked Chen Sheng to go first.

Chen Sheng walked into the tent and saw that the tent was simply furnished, with one bed and one bed, and there was only one lampstand for lighting. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "Zhang Han is a diligent general!"

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "A defeated general, how can he be brave enough?"

Chen Sheng heard the meaning behind the words and smiled lightly, noncommittal.

He walked up to the tent, took off the long sword from his waist and placed it on the table, and sat down low: "Tell me about the results of last night's battle."

Last night, he only took control of the overall situation and did not interfere in any specific military affairs.

In the matter of commanding the army, he just assigns tasks to the commanders of the divisions, but does not ask any details.

He also handed over all the statistics of the results to Fan Zeng, regardless of all the manpower deployment.

He can do these things.

And no one does it better than him!
But he can no longer do everything by himself.

The size of the Chenjun Group is getting bigger and bigger, and the current situation in Kyushu is so complicated.

As the helm of the Chen Jun Group, he must withdraw from these specific affairs and put his time and energy on a higher level to grasp the general direction of the Chen Jun Group.

No one can help him in this work, and he can't fake the hands of others.

From another point of view, if everything needs him Chen Sheng to do it himself, then what does he have to do to train such generals and civil servants?
Furthermore, after Chen Sheng returned to the Red Clothes Barracks yesterday, the visible changes in the morale of all the Red Clothes soldiers also made Chen Sheng suddenly realize a problem: as the Red Clothes Army's army commander and the highest belief, the Red Clothes Army soldiers and soldiers He has been plated with a layer of gold.

He had no intention of putting himself on the altar, but it was too late to turn around now.

What's more, at this stage, this layer of golden body is beneficial and harmless to him, the Red Army, and the Chen Jun Group. He didn't need to take the initiative to pierce this layer of golden body.

As long as this golden body is still there, no matter how the situation changes in the future, no matter how bad the environment will be in the future, no matter how difficult the road ahead is... The hearts of the soldiers in the Red Army will have a sense of confidence.

This confidence will support them, to win some battles they could not win, to overcome some difficulties they could not survive.

But Chen Sheng himself was also held up by this layer of golden body, forcing him to cherish his feathers and keep this layer of golden body.

So that it can power up when it needs it.

Of course, Chen Sheng didn't want to see that day.

If there is such a day, it means that the Red Army has fallen into a desperate situation of life and death.

The best example is the raid last night.

Zhang Han's basic skills are very solid.

Stronger than any general of the Chen Sheng Group!

Zhang Han's defeat was not by surprise!
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and a little unexpected sudden situation is normal.

There is no general commander who dares to boast that he knows all the details on the battlefield like the back of the hand!
Zhang Han's defeat was due to the morale and morale of the army!
When the first and second divisions of the Red Army as the vanguard entered the camp, Zhang Han's two camps along the river bank with tens of thousands of troops were immediately defeated...

Zhang Han was not given any reaction time at all!

It was a surprise and a surprise, and the two camps that served as the barrier of the Chinese army were still on the verge of collapse, causing the enemy army to attack the central army like a broken bamboo...

This kind of battle, let alone Zhang Han, even if Han Xin personally commanded it, he would have to break the halberd and sink into the sand!
expedient.

If the one who was raided last night was replaced by the Red Army, the leader who was raided was replaced by Chen Sheng.

Zhang Han couldn't see Chen Sheng's handsome flag at all!

With the cohesion and morale of the Red Army, at the moment of hearing the drumbeat of the enemy's attack, there must be countless middle and lower-level officers who would organize their brothers in Paoze, and rush forward one after another to use their weak flesh and blood. , to block the intruding enemy and buy time for the brothers in the rear to react... There is no doubt that there will be many middle and lower-level officers who will do this. The brothers under him were forced with spears and joined the ranks of the unarmored charge.

In this regard, just because he failed to kill the envoy of the imperial court in the first time, Chen Dao, who was constantly looked at by his officers and men with the corner of his eyes, had the most say.

With the time to react, Chen Sheng can quickly dispatch troops to repel the intruding enemy and block the gap.

In this way, even if it may still suffer heavy losses, at least it will not be a complete defeat!
Just because Chen Sheng has never been defeated since he started his army!
Before seeing and experiencing his defeat with their own eyes, all the soldiers in the Red Army would subconsciously be certain... Why is this time an exception?
……

"My lord, this is a great victory. Our red army beheaded more than 12 people, captured more than 5000 soldiers, and captured more than 12 civilians. We captured 40 armors and [-] horses. , more than [-] mules and horses, [-] shi of grain and grass, [-] livestock, and [-] poultry...the rest of the vehicles, boats, and kettles have not yet been counted!"

Fan Zeng bowed with both hands, without reading any records, all the data came immediately.

Chen Sheng knocked on the case, and silently went through the data reported by Fan Zeng in his mind.

This result was not much different from what he expected.

The number of beheadings and soldiers was less than half of the total number of ZhangHan's army, because ZhangHan's camp was camped from north to south in the shape of a "qi". The two camps plus the Chinese military camp.

The two camps in the west were too far apart. When the first and second divisions arrived, the tens of thousands of Zhang Han soldiers in those two camps had already seen that the situation was not right, and they ran away with buckets...

This is the advantage of solid basic skills, even defeat is very different from the sloppy generals like Tu Sui!
For Tu Sui and other sloppy generals, if they lost the battle, it was a complete defeat, even if they lost their pants.

And high-achieving students like Zhang Han, even if they are defeated, they can still keep the capital of their comeback...

However, Li Xin's three thousand cavalry and the main force of the first and second divisions all chased Zhang Han's remnants northward. Zhang Han's army dropped 12 soldiers in the camp. There are less than [-] armors!

Chen Sheng didn't even know if he should hope that Li Xin and the others could capture "Zhang, Cut the Beard and Abandon the Robe, Hand".

We should still hope that Li Xin and the others can put "Zhang·Transportation Captain·Han" one horse, so that Captain Zhang can come again next time...

As for the amount of food and grass, it seemed to be a lot, but it was actually less than Chen Sheng expected.

Under normal circumstances, the army will go out on expeditions, depending on the length of the supply line, carrying two to three months of grain.

Zhang Han's army has 15 soldiers and horses, plus the number of civilians who are only a lot more than his soldiers and horses, there are 30 people at least!
With 30 people, even if the local combat supply line is short and only two months of food and fodder are allocated, there should be at least 60 shi of grain and grass reserves in the Zhanghan camp.

But right now, only 40 shi...

It seems that the strategy of encircling and suppressing Taiping Road by the three-way army of the imperial court this year has almost exhausted the grain reserves of the Great Zhou court.

Otherwise, how could even Zhang Han army, such an important army guarding the gateway to Gyeonggi, be ruthlessly withholding rations?

After about a stick of incense, Chen Shengcai nodded slightly and said softly, "Very well, Mr. Fan really didn't disappoint me!"

Fan Zeng bowed his hands again and said respectfully, "It's all thanks to the teachings of Your Majesty."

Looking at his submissive appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Chen Sheng somehow remembered the proud celebrity demeanor of "I am a great talent, your baby is lucky" when Fan Zeng came to vote, and couldn't help chuckling: "Say Just talk about it, it's your credit that's your credit, don't learn, learn to flatter others! I don't take that kind of thing!"

Fan Zeng laughed with him, and replied sincerely: "Why did Your Majesty make such a statement? Every word of the minister comes from the bottom of his heart, and there is absolutely no false statement!"

He really can't be flattering.

However, he doesn't know Chen Shenghui. He knows Chen Sheng better than him. Except for the technique of Xuanmen, he really can't find a half-point advantage in front of Chen Sheng to be the mastermind!

However, even the Xuanmen techniques he learned had to borrow Chen Sheng's human emperor's qi in order to exert his real power.

He can only lie down and be a sycophant with no emotion!
"Okay, let's talk about it later!"

Chen Sheng tapped the case's index finger and said sternly: "Quickly order people to count all the soldiers and their husbands. Those with disabilities and those over [-] years old will be given [-] catties of grain and [-] copper coins. It's home!"

Fan Zeng raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, thinking that this is not quite right, it is not in line with his usual style of never rejecting any males!

He wanted to ask, but facing the increasingly powerful Chen Sheng, he no longer dared to go beyond his duty as a counselor.

Those who seek for others only ask what the monarch wants, not what the monarch does!
Just when he was about to respond, Li Xin and Chen Dao, who happened to lead his troops to pursue the remnants of the Zhanghan Army, returned to the camp and entered the commander's account to meet Chen Sheng.

"The last will meet the general!"

The two clasped their fists and greeted each other.

Chen Sheng waved his hand away.

After the two had finished their ceremony, Chen Shoucai walked into the handsome tent and stood silently under the tent like a normal person.

Chen Sheng glanced at the three, and asked the first sentence: "Have you caught Zhang Han?"

Chen Shou and Chen Dao looked at Li Xin together.

Li Xin shyly clasped his fists and said, "Back to the general, the last general chased the thief general Zhang Han all the way into a forest, got lost, and told the thief general to get away... The general please punish him!"

Chen Sheng let out a "tsk". He couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or joy. He waved his hand to help Li Xin: "It's okay, I can't catch it this time, but I can catch it next time. It just so happens that I have another important task to do. Give it to General Li!"

Li Xin said without hesitation, "General please order!"
