Chapter 739 Celebration Banquet
In addition to robbing, the other party wanted to slap them in the face this time.
Isn't the Dafeng Army awesome?
Isn't Panlong City awesome?
Wasn't it because I broke into the city and humiliated them?
Of course, the purpose of slapping them in the face has been achieved, but the enemy's face was swollen.
Willow Tiao didn't speak.
As an old teammate, she was accustomed to He Lingchuan's plan, just executing it without asking why.
Just believe in Broken Knife.
Back in Yuheng City, even in the middle of the night, the victorious army was welcomed by the citizens. No matter how wide the newly built roads in Yuheng City were, they were crowded with enthusiastic people.
If it weren't for the soldiers who repelled the enemy army, the people in the city would be in trouble tonight.
Everyone cheered and expressed their gratitude.
Some enthusiastic and cheerful girls rushed up and hugged.
The young warriors killed people for the first time and saw the Shura Field for the first time. They hid in the corner and vomited until their faces turned pale. As a result, it was the first time that they were welcomed with such a grand and solemn welcome as soon as they came out.
The contrast between ice and fire made these new recruits feel at a loss, as if they were still dreaming.
When Wen Daolun came out and announced to everyone, "Celebrate tonight and drink to your heart's content," there was thunderous applause from the audience.
Since they couldn't sleep anyway, they might as well get up and celebrate.
For the first time in history, shops along the street opened their doors to do business in the middle of the night, with red lanterns hung out, and the aroma came naturally as soon as the stoves were turned on.
The city government asked shops to bring wine, cooks to prepare fish and meat, and civilians to slaughter cattle and sheep. The reward banquet was held in several large restaurants in the city.
There were big fish and meat on the table. Although the cooking method was rough, the taste was not bad. The braised pork served in a large basin had a half-finger thick bottom oil.
The soldiers had been fighting for most of the night, and just as they were out of the state of chicken blood, their stomachs were rumbling with hunger. At this time, they grabbed a coarse flour bun that was half the size of their heads, ate a bite of meat, a bite of bun, and drank a bowl of wine. Their lofty ambitions came up and they began to brag about how bravely they had just killed the enemy.
They won the battle, and everyone was happy.
Of course, the various tasks such as the placement of prisoners, the treatment of the wounded, the cleaning of the battlefield, and the recording of military merits must still be carried out in an orderly manner. This is also a good opportunity to exercise logistics.
Wen Daolun grabbed a wine glass and found He Lingchuan among the soldiers. He drank first as a toast when they met:
"Come on, congratulations to Commander He for winning the first battle!"
He Lingchuan replied: "Congratulations to the soldiers and civilians of Yuheng City for winning the first battle!"
Everyone applauded.
Wen Daolun wanted to chat with him privately, but the soldiers did not allow it. They had to pull the commander to drink three cups before letting him go.
He Lingchuan dragged him to a secluded place outside, looked around to see if there was anyone, and then asked: "Did you get a confession?"
Wen Daolun nodded: "This team is mainly composed of mercenaries, including Longchuan pirates, Jin Yao's refugees, and the vicious people recruited by the opposite side. Only the commander is General Jin Yao."
"Have you caught the leading ones?"
"One died, and the others ran away. They are strong in self-protection."
He Lingchuan pondered: "They gathered to attack Yuheng City, and I knew that Jin Yao was behind them."
Will pirates and bandits come to attack Yuheng City?
This kind of thing has indeed happened elsewhere, but within the sphere of influence of Panlong City? Not likely.
"You predicted the enemy attack this time, which really saved us from a great disaster." Wen Daolun still had lingering fears when he thought about it, "Otherwise, Yuheng City was newly built not long ago, and it would have suffered a great loss this time."
"Even if the enemy army entered the city, we would eventually drive them away, it's just a matter of cost." He Lingchuan was clear-headed, "Jin Tao spent so much effort to attack Yuheng City, he wanted to irritate us, well, more than that, he wanted to irritate Panlong City, so that Commander Zhong and General Hong would send more troops here to garrison."
After taking over Xijue, Panlong City's territory expanded, but the number of troops has not been able to expand rapidly for the time being. Panlong City's army has to defend both Panlong Wasteland and Chipa Plateau, and now there is an additional Xijue territory, the task is very heavy.
"There are people behind this who want to contain the power of Panlong City in the Xiqie area. In this way, our defense of Panlong Wasteland will naturally weaken." Wen Daolun said solemnly, "The only way now is that the Yuheng City Army must grow rapidly to reduce the pressure on Panlong City."
"Today's great victory is a good start."
"Just when I was sleepy, someone gave me a pillow." The newly formed Yuheng Army needed a great victory the most, and the victory came. "With this victory as a foundation, it will be easier to recruit soldiers later."
Everyone has a strong mentality, and everyone wants flowers, cheers and applause.
"They are still very young, and Commander He has to worry more."
Compared with the Iron Division, this army still has a gap in tempering.
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "They picked up an advantage today, just beating the defeated army."
The bandit army fell into the trap he set, and was bombarded and fled, wanting to escape from the border. How could they still have the heart to fight? It was of course easy and pleasant for the Yuheng Army to attack such an opponent.
This is also He Lingchuan's intention to avoid his own weaknesses. Otherwise, he would have too many new recruits, and there would be constant problems and heavy losses in the battle.
Proper tactics can make up for the lack of military strength.
But this requires the right time, right place and right people.
One day, when the two armies face each other head-on, the Yuheng Army can still win firmly, that is the real battle.
Speaking of this, he remembered that when his father He Chunhua just took office as the governor of Xiazhou, the northern front was also suppressed by Nian Zanli. At that time, the Xiazhou Army was also formed not long ago, and He Chunhua racked his brains and used all means to win the first victory.
Alas, my father's power should be very stable now, right? People like him will get up and try their best to rise step by step even if they are trampled into the mud.
Wen Daolun took a sip of wine: "Speaking of which, the border troubles are actually not worth mentioning. Commander Zhong's focus is not here."
This is too straightforward. With Wen Daolun's temperament, he will not care about words only to those he truly trusts.
He Lingchuan was not angry at all, and nodded: "Now the focus of stability in Yuheng City and even Xijue area lies in Longchuan."
More than a quarter of the bandit troops attacking the city today are Longchuan pirates. This shows that the forces inside and outside the country have colluded with each other and are in collusion.
Longchuan pirates not only threaten the southern trade route, but are also driven by Jin Yao, and are a rotten scar on Xijue's territory.
"As long as we eradicate the banditry, the border troubles will naturally disappear."
Wen Daolun asked He Lingchuan: "Have your men already infiltrated?"
"Yes, they made a great contribution today, saving the life of a big boss of the Lu Family Gang." He Lingchuan was talking about the skinny guy. He transferred this guy from Panlong City just to infiltrate Longchuan.
The skinny guy was born with a bandit temperament, and he was a good match for Longchuan.
Today, He Lingchuan personally cooperated with him to perform a self-torture trick. The skinny guy saved the life of the bandit leader at the cost of being shot in the left arm.
