Chapter 37: A Ring of Traps
Originally, there were only 100 officers and soldiers arranged on the ambush circle, and the purpose was to be responsible for picking up leaks, but now 20 people have been taken away by the deputy commander, and there are only 80 people left in the entire ambush circle.
Eighty men were equally powerless in the face of an attack of three hundred.
Even if these eighty people are all monks, they are only mortal cultivators, and most of the more than 300 people under Tang Xiao's command are also monks, and their strength can definitely crush each other.
There was no suspense in the battle.
Even such a simple battle was not enough to stimulate Tang Xiao to break through the realm.
Completely one-sided situation.
Like a galewind passing through the border, 80 people could not make much waves in the siege of 300 people.
Not long before the war began, some of the officers and soldiers surrendered on their knees, and their morale was evident to have fallen to the bottom.
With the surrender of the first man, one after another people laid down their weapons and fell to their knees.
A squad leader swung his knife in hatred, hacked to death his comrades who knelt down and surrendered, and ordered everyone to resist to the end.
However, the voice of resistance failed to overcome the hearts of confession, and even the stronger the resistance, the faster the death.
When the last of the resisting figures fell, the battle was declared over.
Tang Xiao ordered people to take prisoners and clean up the battlefield.
Among the eighty officers and soldiers, fifteen were still alive in the end, and these fifteen people had already surrendered to Tang Xiao and others and obediently became prisoners.
These fifteen people were tied up and thrown in front of Tang Xiao, and Tang Xiao didn't say much, and directly asked a team of ordinary people to escort these fifteen people back to Luo County.
Then Tang Xiao let the whole army rest for a quarter of an hour, even if he knew that people would easily become inert and their action would be greatly reduced if they stopped to rest after intense exercise, but after the battle was over, in fact, many people's blood was gradually returning to calm, so he took the opportunity to let everyone rest for a quarter of an hour, so that the tired body could breathe.
And a quarter of an hour later, he had to continue the next battle.
In this quarter of an hour, in order not to let the team's blood completely cool down, he directly opened the speech on the bloody battlefield.
The speech was naturally searched by the search engine of Zhihai computer.
The effect of the famous speech is naturally immediate.
After a heroic speech, more than 300 bandits screamed again.
Then a quarter of an hour came, and he led his army to continue the attack.
At the same time, he rode on the back of the flame and reflected on the shortcomings of this battle, why he had not broken through yet.
After thinking about it carefully, he finally came to a conclusion, it must be caused by the lack of BGM to make the battle not hearty!
So he began to use the search engine of Zhihai computer to search for background music, even if the music of Zhihai computer is only heard by him, but self-congratulatory is also a kind of enjoyment.
And the other side.
The news of the attack on the ambush force was received in the barracks of the county army, and the two deputy commanders were shocked.
They waited for a while, and found that the third deputy commander had not been able to arrive, and they had already guessed that something was likely to happen to the other party.
After consultation, the two temporarily put aside their suspicions about each other and finally reached a consensus.
One of the deputy commanders led his army to support the attacked troops, while the other deputy commander continued to stay outside Luo County to prevent the rebels from attacking the city, and at the same time summoned the other two county commanders who were responsible for assisting to lead the army to encircle and suppress the enemy army that was attacking outside.
This result did not surprise Tang Xiao.
He had already guessed three possibilities for the reaction of the county army, one was that the two deputy commanders came to support together, the second was that the two deputy commanders did not come to support, and the third was the current situation.
But the decision they made was obviously a light attack on Tang Xiao and others.
Even if they had already known from the intelligence that Tang Xiao and the others had a magic weapon for night vision, they also didn't think so, after all, in the geographical advantage of Caoji Mountain, the thieves set up an ambush with that magic weapon, and in the end, didn't they still lose to the officers and soldiers who went into the mountain to encircle and suppress?
Therefore, they thought that the ambush force of the 100 men could resist stubbornly until their reinforcements came.
And one of their armies has more than 200 people, and they let the two nearby county commanders lead the army to cooperate, it is completely a dumpling-making situation, and what enemy can't be defeated?
And as the deputy commander led the army to attack, the spies that Tang Xiao had already arranged used infrared binoculars to see their whereabouts clearly, and then the spies released two messenger sparrows, and the whole situation was completely under Tang Xiao's control.
The force was advancing towards the ambush site to be supported, and was only halfway through when it saw a force appear in front of it.
They are vigilant.
When the spies from both sides reported back, the deputy commander knew that the troops in front were the army of Huai County, which was personally led by Pang Ye, the commander of Huai County.
The deputy commander was a little puzzled as to how Pang Ye came to the aid so quickly, but at this time, everyone was a friendly army, so he let down his vigilance and led his army over to join Pang Ye's troops.
Then the two armies marched in unison, but it didn't take long for them to hear a fight ahead.
They hurried over to check and were astonished to see that their scout force was being pursued by an anti-thief force.
As soon as the anti-thief force saw their large force arriving, they immediately turned and fled, without any delay at all.
The deputy commander did not hesitate, and ordered the whole army to pursue and try to catch them alive.
The anti-thief troops ran on their legs, while their vanguard troops rode tall horses, and the speed of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
However, before they could catch up with the anti-thief force, a horn suddenly sounded around them, and a large number of anti-thieves jumped out of the surrounding shadows and killed them directly.
It was only then that they realized that they had fallen into a trap.
That anti-thief force is a decoy!
Tang Xiao took the lead again, but this time he used the player to play a BGM in his mind in advance to match his charge, and his body involuntarily swayed with the music.
But this fell in the eyes of the Grass Thistle Mountain Righteous Army, but it was a little surprised.
Why did the way the big guy charged became coquettish?
It's like a person wearing headphones singing, always feeling that he is singing the sound of heaven, but in the ears of outsiders, without the background music, it is completely a ghost crying wolf.
The officers and men also saw a very sassy man riding a flaming head in the enemy's forward unit, and the officers and men immediately decided that this man was definitely a high-ranking general among the thieves, and it was not wrong to kill him.
Besides, if you don't kill such a sassy person, will you still stay in the Chinese New Year to perform pole dancing?
So the confident officers and soldiers were not frightened by the trap of the anti-thief, but faced Tang Xiao and killed.
But not long after the deputy commander's order to attack was issued, the whole army had just started, and the Huai County soldiers who were accompanying the army of the county government suddenly became troubled.
The county government troops didn't have time to react at all, and they were caught off guard.
And Pang Ye, who was following the deputy commander, also burst into trouble, and made a brazen attack at the deputy commander, he slashed the big knife, and the golden light on the blade flowed, as if an ancient giant beast roared, and the power made the air around him stagnate.
The deputy commander never expected that the real trap would come from his side!
He reacted quickly and immediately activated his defensive shield.
But Pang Ye's strength was amazing, and he slashed at his defensive shield with a single sword, shaking his defensive shield apart and directly cutting him off his mount.
He slammed to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Pang Ye in disbelief.
It had only just started the battle, and he was already wounded.
The county government troops were attacked by Huaixian soldiers, and the whole army was in chaos.
In this battle, it seems that the balance of victory has tilted in favor of Tang Xiao's side.
