Chapter 204: Fiction and Reality
On that day, 5,000 soldiers of Wu County chased more than 2,000 people wearing the uniforms of Sun Jun's soldiers, left Fengqiao County, and ran straight north. In the north www.biquge.info 27,000 Lan soldiers were waiting quietly. At this time, their formation was no longer Tai Shi Ci in front and Yu Ban in the back. Tai Shi Ci's troops began to spread more than ten miles east from Baitang Village to the east of Shenting Ridge, and then followed Yu Ban's troops and stretched to the area of Fangta, which is now near Changshu City.
The 27,000 soldiers were divided into three parts: the first was the first and second teams, which were iron-blooded divisions in the nature of sharp knives, the second was 15,000 veterans, and the third was 10,000 new soldiers. The so-called veterans and recruits are only relative. The recruits are actually veterans, but they have only joined Tian Lan's command for a short time. All the soldiers have completed the basic training. If we want to further enhance our combat effectiveness, we must supplement it with actual combat. Therefore, Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban placed the 10,000 recruits in the south and 15,000 veterans in the north. This is done in order to make the recruits become veterans as soon as possible. Of course, the first and second teams are still in the south. These two groups of soldiers were placed in the south to prevent accidents. If there were no accidents, these two teams of soldiers would not have participated in the battle.
Two thousand civilians dressed in soldier clothes rushed forward, and five thousand Wu soldiers chased after them, and the movement was not insignificant. Originally, Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban sent scouts to inspect the southern boundary constantly, and they were not careless. If you don't know yet, it doesn't make sense.
Knowing this, what kind of action should be taken? Some people may say that although it is necessary to accurately judge the enemy's situation, then make the right decision. Words are good. But does the current enemy situation need to be judged?
What is the identity of the 5,000 chasing soldiers, don't you need to think about it? Sun Ce's soldiers are only 3,000, and everyone on the earth knows about it. Where did Sun Ce come out with 5,000 men? Therefore, this is the soldier of Wu County who pursued Sun Ce. And Tai Shici and Yu Ban are not Guo Tu, they are just military generals, and they can only be judged in a general sense.
……
Tian Lan's order was that the army would follow slowly. If Sun Ce left Fengqiao to attack Wu County, he would occupy Fengqiao. If Sun Ce left Wu County to attack Huiji next, he would occupy Wu County. It's very specific. But its main spirit is to force Sun Ce, not to fight Sun Ce, let alone fight Wu County or Zhan Huiji.
And what did Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban expect? For Tai Shi Ci, it was very simple, it was war. Whether it's fighting Sun Ce, fighting Wu County or fighting Huiji, you can fight. But Tian Lan's order didn't contain it.
Yu Ban is a little more complicated. Yu Ban is not such a belligerent person. Yu Ban has two "good", one is to defend, and the other is to train soldiers. Among them, the training of soldiers can be said to be unique. From the perspective of soldier training, Yu Ban believes that soldiers should be put into the battlefield. It's not that you don't continue training, but after seeing blood, it's more conducive to continuing training. A soldier who has never seen blood, no matter how much he practices, he cannot be very good. Therefore, Yu Ban's starting point is somewhat different from Tai Shici's, but the desired purpose is the same, that is, war.
Tian Lan had an order not to fight. For such an order, the two can only faithfully carry it out. However, in the process of implementation, the two will always deviate slightly because of their own expectations. The specific deviation is that the station of the two is too close to Fengqiao County. At this time, it was only thirty miles away from Fengqiao County.
The meaning of approaching Fengqiao County too much is self-evident, a provocation. Tai Shici and Yu Ban expected Sun Ce to find out, and expected Sun Ce to send troops to fight. Although Tian Lan ordered no fighting, a reasonable counterattack was always allowed.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes. Sun Ce's attention was always on Wu County, and he had never scouted the north at all.
Depressed, these two words that often appear on the Internet aptly express the mood of Tai Shici and Yu Ban. The two were extremely depressed, but they were helpless. Thirty miles apart is already the limit. No matter how close it is, there is no way to explain it in front of Tian Lan. So, the two of them could only continue to be depressed.
Today, in the midst of this depressed waiting, they found that the five thousand soldiers of Wu County were chasing after the two thousand Sun troops.
……
Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban were overjoyed. Two teams, A and C, were immediately dispatched. Teams A and C are one on one side. Tai Shici's side is Team A, and Yu Ban's side is Team C. Sending two teams, A and C, is not a game. Instead, the soldiers of the first and third teams were asked to make a detour, detour back to the rear of the comers, and cut off the retreat of the comers. Of course, if the 9,000 men who came over insisted on retreating to the south, the soldiers of the first and second teams could still take action.
After sending two teams, Tai Shici and Yu Ban coincidentally launched recruits from Jianye in front of the battalion. After these Jianye recruits were deployed, they also followed the road taken by the two teams A and C, and copied to the flank of the incoming enemy. In the end, Tai Shici and Yu were the original veterans before the forbidden camp.
The huge encirclement was quickly constructed. The battle will be fought by Jianye recruits from the east and west. The veterans of the north were hardly in battle. The two teams in the south are only responsible for cutting off their retreat.
……
In other words, why didn't the 2,000-odd ordinary people wearing the uniforms of Sun Jun's soldiers surrender? As soon as you come up, you run. As early as when the fire was fighting, the soldiers of Wu County were still far away, and some people ran away shouting.
Of course, the first few people shouting to flee were not the people, but the soldiers of the Sun Army who were guarding these people. The common people also have the affairs of the common people, and if the common people are asked to do things, one is to spend money to hire, and the other is to threaten each other with force. Sun Ce chose the latter. At this time, Sun Ce's money had been almost spent. And because of the urgency of time, the number of people who need to be mobilized is large. Sun Ce did have the money to ask more than 2,000 people to do things, but Sun Ce could not come up with the money to compensate for the nearly 100 houses that were burned down. Therefore, Sun Ce simply moved all the way.
The people were captured, forced to change into soldiers' clothes, and lived near several city gates. Later, he was escorted over to put out the fire. This kind of thing is not a hard work for the people. However, when the soldiers of Sun Jun, who were guarding these people, suddenly shouted, saying that the soldiers of Wu County had killed them and fled quickly, the people still panicked.
Soon, the soldiers of the Sun Army, who were guarding the people, took the lead in running out of the north gate. Some people are still thinking that the soldiers of Wu County came to kill the soldiers of the Sun Army, not the people, so maybe they don't need to run. In the blink of an eye, some people found that they were wearing the clothes of Sun Jun's soldiers, and they happened to be the target of the Wu County soldiers. So, they ran to the north one after another.
The momentum of escape is no better than the momentum of attack. Once the escape began, it was a panic. Soon, more than 2,000 civilians dressed in the clothes of Sun soldiers all began to flee. Due to the large number of people, there was a slight blockage at the north gate.
If it's blocked, it's like you can't run away. The reaction of a normal person is that when danger comes, they run, and if they can't escape, they surrender. So, the blocked people began to surrender. However, surrender was useless. The soldiers of Wu County completely ignored it and killed them as such. Those who did not surrender, and those who were far away even though they surrendered, immediately stopped surrendering and desperately squeezed out of the city.
Outside the north gate of Fengqiao County, there is another scene. That is, there are many people who have escaped from the north gate, and they are undressing here. They thought that if they took off the clothes of the Sun soldiers, they would be restored to the common people, and the soldiers of Wu County would not kill themselves. In fact, this kind of thinking makes sense. It's just that because there are more people undressing, there are still people taking off when the soldiers of Wu County chase them out of the north gate. This is equivalent to saying that the act of undressing was discovered by the soldiers of Wu County.
Now that the action of undressing has been discovered, the people who have taken off their clothes still can't get rid of the identity of Sun Jun's soldiers. The broadswords of the soldiers of Wu County were cut directly at the people who had taken off their clothes.
It's not that those people don't surrender, it's that surrender is useless. It was useless to take off the clothes of the Sun soldiers. The only way out is to run north.
……
After all, the people are the people, and the people have no military training. Although the training of the soldiers of Wu County is not very good, the difference between training and non-training is still very obvious. Therefore, along the way, there are constantly people who are caught up by the soldiers of Wu County, and there are people who continue to become the souls of the soldiers of Wu County. Because of the threat of death, the potential of the remaining people was stimulated, so they were not caught up by the soldiers of Wu County. However, it is only a matter of time before you are caught up. The doomed fate cannot be changed.
As soon as he chased and escaped, he entered the encirclement of Tai Shici and Yu Ban. The soldiers of the first and third teams copied to the end of Wu County. The appearance of the first and third teams was actually not unexpected by the soldiers of Wu County. As soon as the soldiers of Wu County began to chase and kill, they estimated that Sun Jun might have some ambush. However, the total number of soldiers in the Sun army limited this ambush. The total number of soldiers of Sun's army was three thousand, which is unmistakable. Two thousand of the three thousand are being pursued by themselves, and the number of ambushes is only a thousand. Taking into account the factors of temporary conscription, the number of soldiers in ambush was finally adjusted to 2,000. Therefore, as soon as the soldiers of the first and third teams came out, the soldiers of Wu County thought that Sun Ce's ambush was launched.
The soldiers of Wu County had a total of two formations at this time. One is the 3,000 formation for the main attack, and the other is the 2,000 formation for the attack. Each team has a general. Don't look at them chasing all the way and killing a lot of people, but in fact, it was mainly the 1,000 people at the front of the main attack formation who were killed. There were about 4,000 people, all of whom were just running away, and did not participate in the fighting. These 4,000 people, they are ready to use them to deal with the ambush of the Sun army that may appear at any time.
Now that the two teams have appeared, it is equivalent to the appearance of Sun Jun's ambush. However, the position of the two teams is a bit strange. According to the general principle, when an ambush strikes, it should always be killed at the enemy's center, that is, at the place where the enemy has the most. But the two teams of A and C only went to the end of the Wu army. Such an action, in the eyes of the two generals of Wu County, is really stupid, too stupid.
……
The appearance of the first and second teams, to be honest, is still a little sudden. Although the soldiers of Wu County had always been wary of the ambush, they were still taken aback. The most important thing is to take the ambush by surprise. Assuming that the soldiers of the first and second teams took advantage of this suddenness, it is believed that they would be able to kill many soldiers of Wu County in vain. However, the soldiers of the first and third teams only ran to the end of the soldiers of Wu County. At the end, there were only a few hundred people. And the hundreds of people were still running forward. When the soldiers of the first and third teams arrived, the hundreds of people at the end of the Wu army also happened to run through that place.
There were no casualties. This is the result of the appearance of the soldiers of the first and second teams. For this result, the soldiers of the two teams and the commander of the thousand commanders were very satisfied. And the soldiers of Wu County were even more satisfied. The two generals of Wu County immediately adjusted their formation, and the soldiers spread out in the east-west direction, preparing to kill the soldiers of the two teams from north to south with a two-to-one superiority.
This unfolding process is extremely slow. Of course, it didn't last long. However, compared with the soldiers of the first and third teams, the time is long. The soldiers of the first and third teams rushed out like this, and every soldier did not run around. Some run long distances, while others run short distances. After the run, just like that, I naturally lined up the formation from south to north. There was zero time for the whole team, and there was no superfluous action at all.
The task of the soldiers of the first and second teams is to cut off the return route of the soldiers of Wu County. So, they quietly watched the whole team of Wu soldiers. The chaos of the soldiers of Wu County, as well as the superfluous movements of running past and back, were very funny in their eyes. It's just that none of them laughed.
……
A moment later, the Jianye recruits were in place and fought towards the center from the east and west. This shocked the Wu soldiers who had not yet completed the whole team. In the east and west directions, five thousand people were killed in each direction. At a glance, you know that we are outnumbered. Where did Sun Ce come from to conjure up so many people?
If you don't understand it, you can't understand it. If you don't understand, it's about the same as being puzzled. The attitude towards the incomprehensible mysteries is somewhat similar to that of ancient and modern people, that is, they blame the ghosts and gods for those incomprehensible mysteries. In other words, the army killed in front of him is likely to be the heavenly soldiers summoned by Sun Jun.
In a battle, it was indeed a heavenly soldier. If one fights one, the soldiers of Wu County will definitely not be able to defeat them. Usually one face is settled, and it is rare to be able to go on two rounds. Dozens of Wu County soldiers in some places fought against a few heavenly soldiers, but they could not occupy an advantage, and they were often chased by those heavenly soldiers. On the whole, the number of soldiers in Wu County was smaller, and every time one person was killed, the gap was even greater. This is also true, mortals fight with immortals, so how can they fight!
The most wronged were the 2,000 people arrested by Sun Ce. Running here, it's only a thousand. Their potential is almost exhausted. In the end, they ran to the camp of Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban. Fifteen thousand soldiers were standing there. They knew they couldn't escape, so they all fell to their knees and surrendered. But it's a pity that Tai Shici and Yu Ban didn't know that they were ordinary people, and they both thought they were Sun Ce's soldiers. Therefore, after killing all the soldiers of Wu County, the 10,000 recruits from Jianye killed these kneeling people.
