Chapter 78: Returning with a full load, the next challenge

When Tang Xiao and his group rushed back to the previous battlefield, they found that Xu Yushu and they were still trying to support it.

A defensive shield with hundreds of people was besieged by nearly 5,000 people, just like a zoo's sightseeing car surrounded by a group of fierce beasts and frantically biting.

From the perspective of the spectator, this picture is always a little spectacular.

But at this point, the rest of the time is already the legendary garbage time.

When Wei Yuxiao gave the signal to retreat, all the soldiers of the state capital army seemed to freeze for a moment, and in this short process, it seemed that one emotion had completely replaced another.

They began to get nervous, afraid that they would retreat too slowly.

Even if Wei Yuxiao's retreat signal was for the troops to evacuate in order, the moment the retreat signal was transmitted, the soldiers' fear of the warlords would be reduced to zero.

No matter how disciplined they used to be, their discipline has long been forgotten by the negative emotions that have been magnified by the madness, and they have lost their fear of the Warlords.

And so chaos began to emerge in their ranks.

The bandits who were still pole dancing couldn't believe their eyes, and the moment the state capital army retreated, the entire state capital army suddenly turned into a plate of scattered sand.

They didn't care about dancing, and they were all stunned on the spot.

In the face of this sudden scene, they still didn't react.

At this moment, the horn of the attack sounded.

Tang Xiao, who returned to the array, issued an order to pursue.

Then in the Grass Thistle Mountain Rebel Army, the original crossbow array put away the crossbow, took out the sword and rushed out, and the original pole dance array pulled out the inverted spear and chased after the enemy.

Even Xu Yushu, who was on the battlefield, also picked up a spear and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

In the face of such a one-sided slaughter, every bandit seemed excited.

Tang Xiao looked at the recruits without showing the slightest fear, and was very satisfied with this.

But there is one thing that makes him speechless and look at the sky, that is, some recruits are not only not afraid of blood, but are still frantically whipping corpses.

He suddenly realized an important problem, and hurriedly said to Pang Ye beside him: "Quick! Go over and protect Xu Gain, lest he be shot with a black arrow!"

Although Pang Ye didn't know why Xu Shoushou was so concerned, since Tang Xiao had ordered so, he hurriedly mounted his mount and rushed towards Xu Shoushuo.

And Tang Xiao has already begun to think that he will go to the ward to visit Xu Yushu at that time, what gifts should he bring.

An hour later, the battle ended.

The rebels of Grass Thistle Mountain won a great victory, and everyone was smiling.

Everyone began to clean up the battlefield.

In the face of more than 5,000 enemy troops, 1,000 of them were killed, 300 prisoners were captured, and 30 carts of baggage were captured.

Tang Xiao led the victorious army to Changping County.

Looking at every smiling soldier of the Grass Ji Mountain Righteous Army, and looking at the captured baggage, the people of Changping County couldn't believe their eyes, especially those who were waiting for the Song Dynasty to "liberate" them, and they stood on the spot with wide eyes.

The old man of the Wu family came out to greet him, and he was equally happy to see the victory of the whole army.

This proves that the bet made by his granddaughter is at least correct, and his own property has been temporarily preserved.

Afterwards, he returned to the county guard's mansion, which had long been Tang Xiao's base camp.

Tang Xiao asked the captives to stay outside the city to guard, and organized the captives to build their own prisoner camps.

At the same time, he quietly sent a letter to Wei Yuxiao, asking her to send someone over to rescue the prisoners.

If you want to reform these prisoners, it will take a long time, it is better to replace these prisoners with Wei Yuxiao's credit, so that Wei Yuxiao will not be more seriously affected by this defeat.

This defeat is likely to make Wei Yuxiao lose his position as commander, and Tang Xiao just wants to try his best to keep Wei Yuxiao's position.

Only if Wei Yuxiao continues to serve as the commander of the crusade against the thieves, can he sing a duet with Wei Yuxiao in exchange for a longer chance to live.

Subsequently, Tang Xiao convened the whole army at the training ground to sum up the gains and losses of this battle, and held a celebration banquet later.

All the soldiers who were not injured and did not have special duties were all on the scene, and the core members were at the forefront, but only Xu was lying in the ward at the moment recuperating from his injuries.

As Tang Xiao expected, Xu Xushuo, who was charging at the time, encountered the black hand of a recruit, and his white and upturned fat buttocks were shot with a crossbow arrow, and then Pang Ye arrived at the scene, carried him out of the crowd, and took him away from the battlefield.

Now he can only lie in the ward, touching the chrysanthemum, and he is sad.

At the summary meeting, Tang Xiao praised the brave battles of the various county commanders and acting county commanders, in order to press their hearts, and then he commended the merits of the You family, and it was the intelligence of the You family in exchange for this victory, and then he praised the generals of the army, especially Mu Huanyang's team, which was heavily praised.

Praise is accompanied by a reward, and the reward is often a whole army being rewarded.

With the distribution of rewards, the trust value in Tang Xiao's Zhihai computer continued to rise.

Not only did this big victory give everyone confidence and make them realize that the state army was nothing more than that, but also Tang Xiao's clear rewards and punishments could really convince his subordinates.

Then Tang Xiao summed up what was done well and what needed to be improved in this war, especially the problems of whipping the corpse and giving Xu Shu a black hand, which he focused on and criticized by name.

At that time, the recruits who had flogged their corpses were punished.

It's a pity that the person who gave Xu Shu the black hand at that time was not caught, otherwise there would be a person as the main negative teaching material.

After the rewards and punishments, it is time for the collective celebration feast.

However, it was a celebration of no alcohol, and the soldiers had to come to eat in batches.

And when Tang Xiao and the others held a celebration banquet, Wei Yuxiao had already sent someone over to rob the prisoner camp and robbed all the prisoners.

When Tang Xiao got the news from Youjia, he just nodded to indicate that he knew, and then there was no other response.

In the middle of the night, the celebration banquet was over, and after Tang Xiao visited Xu Shu, he returned to his bedroom.

That night, he didn't sleep.

In this time alone, he finally stopped smiling in front of outsiders, and instead had a solemn face.

He knew that the real test was coming.

In this battle, they fought so hard that they would shake Wei Yuxiao's position.

Originally, his plan was to smash the army of the state capital, after all, it was impossible for him to give up Changping County, with Changping County, he was qualified to find a way to unite the rest of the forces with Jindan monks, if Changping County was lost, they would only become a group of ordinary bandits, and any big force with whimsical ideas would not cooperate with a group of ordinary bandits.

After the state capital's army was defeated, he looked at the state capital's reaction, whether the state capital sent Jindan monks over, or only increased soldiers and horses, and then made plans according to the state capital's reaction.

There's some gambling in that.

But now there is a good accident, that is, he coincidentally subdued Wei Yuxiao, the commander of the state capital's army.

If he can't keep Wei Yuxiao's position, then all the efforts he made today will be in vain.

So the next thing to do is to let Wei Yuxiao continue to serve as the commander of the crusade army.

So he wrote a letter to Wei Yuxiao overnight, and passed it to Wei Yuxiao with a messenger from Shique.
