Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 247 Surrender 2
After a busy day, all the more than 8 Black Mountain Army surrendered. Gongsun Xu ordered these people to continue stationing in place, but only a small number of people were allowed to carry weapons. .

During this time, Gongsun Xu found Li Damu on purpose, and after the two communicated, Gongsun Xu ordered Li Damu to do the ideological work of the Black Mountain Army. At the same time, Gongsun Xu sent a message to Li Damu, asking them to prepare for disarmament .

It turns out that the quality of the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army is uneven, mixed with old and weak. For example, Li Damu's subordinates originally had 4 soldiers, but when they first invaded Yanmen, they took away [-] young and strong soldiers, leaving [-] Nearly half of the people are old and weak. Such soldiers are a burden on the battlefield. Gongsun Xu doesn't want such soldiers to drag him down.

Li Damu also thought clearly that he was able to get the appreciation of Gongsun Xu because of the military power in his hands, but now he only has [-] troops in his hands, which is enough to bring disaster to himself, and Gongsun Xu wants him to do it. With this preparation, he has no complaints, at least Gongsun Xu didn't cross the river and demolish the bridge, which is worthy of him.

In the evening, Gongsun Xu invited the leaders of the Black Mountain Army. Firstly, he wanted to calm them down and tell them not to be afraid. things.

As soon as this matter was brought up, several people were a little bit opposed, but Li Damu was much more obedient, and he immediately stood up and said: "The villain's subordinates are uneven, old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. The villain has long wanted to disarm the army." Well, it is really good that the general proposed it today, and the villain is willing to carry it out.

There are more than 35 people under the villain's command, including 4000 young and strong people between the ages of 340 and [-]. After removing the weak and sick, there are still [-] people left. As for the rest , the villain feels that it is not suitable for the battlefield. "

Gongsun Xu nodded after listening and said: "Well, yes, you are very efficient, but I still need you to work for me, so let's keep the 5000 staff for the time being, and when things are over, I will Then I will give you an official title."

"Thank you, General." Li Damu replied respectfully.

When the rest of the people saw that Li Damu was like this, how could they complain? Li Damu's 4-strong army suddenly became 3, and more than half of them were cut directly. Ah, what's more, Gongsun Xu only has an army of more than [-] now, and his own strength can't be more than him.

Everyone had no choice but to accept the order of disarmament. After one night, more than 8 Montenegrin troops became [-] people, all of them were young and strong. When Li Damu saw his subordinates again, he seemed to understand Why did Gongsun Xu disarm his army? Because, from his [-] subordinates, he saw some elite shadows.

Gongsun Xu was not in a hurry to chase after the fleeing Black Mountain army of Lei Gong and Huang Long. Huang Xu sent news yesterday that this Black Mountain army had set up many ambushes along the road. Therefore, these ambushes were of no use to him. Besides, the cavalry chased and ran fast. As long as they were not surrounded to death, the Black Mountain Army really couldn't trap the Northern Xinjiang cavalry.

The key to why Gongsun Xu stopped was to deal with the more than 8 captives who surrendered here. After a day's rest, the Black Mountain Army who had fled during the melee between the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Black Mountain Army also returned. Roughly estimated, Nearly 9 Montenegrin troops surrendered.

However, Gongsun Xu took the line of elite soldiers. No matter how many people there are, it is useless if they cannot fight. Gongsun Xu only allowed the leaders of the Heishan Army who surrendered to maintain a staff of 4, and the rest of the Heishan Army who were eliminated were ready to accept Guan Yu's command. Dispatch, first go back to Changshan to garrison the fields.

After completing these tasks, Gongsun Xu conducted a one-day training for the [-] Black Mountain Army. The personal combat effectiveness of these Black Mountain Army is not bad. Most of them are veterans who have lived as refugees for several years, and their ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is not ordinary soldiers. comparable.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Black Mountain Army is indeed not very good, at least in the eyes of Gongsun Xu, it is far from being elite. Apart from lack of training, what these Black Mountain Army lack most is discipline. This is why Gongsun Xu spent a day The reason for training these 4 people is that he only needs obedient subordinates. If the dispatch does not work, such subordinates do not need to exist.

On the third day, Gongsun Xu was finally about to break out of the camp. This was Li Damu's first battle after they surrendered to the Northern Army, but this battle turned out to be against the Black Mountain Army.

However, these people did not reject them, on the contrary they were very happy, because what they wanted to attack now was Lei Gong and Huang Long. These two people had already had enmity with the leaders of the Black Mountain Army who surrendered, and now is the time to take revenge.

Moreover, this is also the best chance for them to gain military exploits. Relatively speaking, they are clear about the combat effectiveness of the Black Mountain Army. Even though there were still 5 people when Lei Gong and Huang Long left, less than half of them were young and middle-aged. It can be regarded as soldiers, up to [-].

On the other hand, besides Gongsun Xu's more than 3 cavalry, the Black Mountain Army has 4 after training.Moreover, when Gongsun Xu learned that there were still many Black Mountain troops in Zhongshan who were subordinate to these little chiefs, Gongsun Xu gave an order that anyone who could recruit more Black Mountain troops would be counted as military exploits.

In this way, these little leaders who have been named captains will work even harder. As long as they go to their subordinates, three to five thousand people will definitely be able to recruit and surrender. This is much easier than killing three to five thousand enemies. This opportunity must not be missed , Lost again, if Gongsun Xu's cavalry went to surrender first, where would I find such military exploits in the future?

Although Li Damu didn't have many subordinates staying in Zhongshan, he was still the first to call for battle, for no other reason. He had the most troops in the Black Mountain Army after his submission. To maintain this advantage, he had to make his stand clear.

The combat effectiveness of the Black Mountain Army after the training has not yet been highlighted, but the marching speed has obviously increased a lot, and it can march forty miles in a thousand days at most. But now, in Gongsun Xu, they are equipped with a certain amount of horses to carry them. After supplies, they can travel fifty miles a day.

Just when Li Damu and the others were immersed in this kind of improvement, Gongsun Xu sneered and said: "Fifty miles a day, when the cavalry under my command was the most ruthless, there was a record of saving a thousand miles a day and a night, just such a little speed can make you excited , I really don’t know when you will be able to become qualified Northern Border Army.”

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, which dampened the enthusiasm of these captains. At the same time, they felt horrified in their hearts after hearing it. In the early years, when they were still in Montenegro, they had heard that Gongsun Xu led the Youzhou Army to save thousands of miles a day and night. They thought it was really a rumor.

Now, saying this from Gongsun Xu's mouth is to confirm this rumor. The Montenegrin Army was treated as a regular army.

Although this is a bit of a blow to these captains, but Gongsun Xu has the capital and reasons to do so, Li Damu felt even more anxious after hearing this, and he also understood why he could only get a partial general after he led so many Black Mountain troops to surrender. s position.

However, the tempers of these school lieutenants were also aroused. Since Gongsun Xu asked the door to reorganize the army, it affirmed their existence, but they still need time to adapt, so these school lieutenants worked harder to train His subordinates hoped to meet the standards of the Northern Xinjiang Army as soon as possible.

Lei Gong and Huang Long are still on their way to Zhongshan, and things are not going as smoothly as they imagined. The main force of the northern border army was indeed held back, but Gongsun Xu sent a partial division to hold them back.

Huang Xu's 5000 cavalry came to harass his side from time to time, which seriously slowed down his marching speed. If it hadn't been for the ambush set up on the road before, I am afraid that Huang Xu's [-] people would have been let down. There is a lot of blood on my side.

The speed of the march was slowed down, and the original plan was delayed. They still don't know the situation on Li Damu's side. Whether they have been defeated or continue to entangle with the Northern Xinjiang Army, they don't know, but they still want to return to Zhongshan as soon as possible Go, but with a marching speed of [-] miles this day, when will we be able to arrive?

What Huanglong and the others didn't know was that when they were delayed on the road, Gongsun Xu sent another [-] cavalry to support Huang Xu, and at the same time urged the troops behind to speed up. The Wan cavalry have entered the territory of Zhongshan, and are now rushing to the rear of the Black Mountain Army's establishment in Zhongshan.

If Huang Long and Lei Gong knew that it would be futile to escape, I don't know how they would feel.

Half a day later, the 5 cavalry sent by Gongsun Xu caught up with Huang Xu, and the [-] cavalry was enough to hold back the [-] Black Mountain Army. Two days later, all the follow-up [-] horses led by Gongsun Xu arrived. Lei Gong is considered to be planted now.

It was originally related to others, but in the end I didn't get any good fruit to eat. It just accelerated my own defeat. Lei Gong and Huang Long are now ashamed. , They have to face a total of [-] enemies, how can they fight this battle.

Everyone wants to pinch soft persimmons. Li Damu won the opportunity to play against Huanglong and Lei Gong. Naturally, the rest of the captains would not let go of this opportunity. This is their first battle, and they must fight well. Rewards, without military exploits, everything is in vain.

On the second day after Gongsun Xu arrived, the Northern Xinjiang Army began to reorganize its troops and prepare to attack. This is not because Gongsun Xu is too impatient. The key is that there are still important things to do on the grassland, and the time he is wasting here is now There are already enough, if the Black Mountain Army is not dealt with quickly, the grassland will be exposed, and it will not be a small trouble by then.
