Chapter 113: Secret Exploration Dao Plans Surprise Attack
"Yes. Chancellor understood. ”
Gongsun Jian has always been a vigorous and resolute character, and he never waits for good things, but does them immediately. Therefore, when he came to Toyama Castle, he thought about countermeasures along the way, and when he arrived, he figured out the situation and acted quickly. That night, Toyama Castle once again ushered in a bloody storm. Almost all of the officials and wealthy families who colluded with Xu Hu were bloodied by Wei Meng and others.
Outside the city, Xie Wu led people to ambush early, and as expected by Gongsun Jian, he waited for Xu Hu's soldiers and horses. Today's Xu Hu is no longer the governor of the Northern Army of Zhou State, but just like an ordinary grass coward. Although there are some wealthy families behind him to support him, but after all, he does not dare to confront the Zhou army head-on, the main reason is that there are too few soldiers and horses in his hands, and the equipment is not as strong as the Zhou army in all aspects.
There were only about 3,000 people who came to sneak attack, which was about the same number as the special operations brigade. If it weren't for the internal response in the city, he wouldn't dare to bring someone to attack and kill Gongsun Jian if he borrowed Xu Hu's courage. Fortunately, Xu Hu is more cautious in life and work, and he also knows that Gongsun Jian has always been cunning in his use of soldiers. So after getting the news, he hesitated for a long time, but finally made up his mind to go to attack Toyama Castle.
For prudent reasons, Xu Hu led 3,000 soldiers and horses to approach Toyama Castle in the night, but the front team arranged 200 people to be responsible for reconnaissance and search, for fear that there would be an ambush of Gongsun Jian outside the city. The special operations brigade, under the command of Xie Wu, was also very sophisticated and understood the other side's intentions, so it was extremely careful to disguise and conceal, let go of the opponent's reconnaissance troops, and waited until the rear army passed most of the time before launching an attack.
The special operations brigade fought differently from other Zhou army units, after all, they were never used for direct and hard-to-head combat on the frontal battlefield. However, when they face each other, they are definitely much stronger than the average army. The equipment on each person alone is worth three people in an ordinary army.
Each of them has four more sophisticated grenades, a repeater for melee combat, a powerful crossbow for ranged attacks, and a variety of clever tools, tactical daggers, horizontal knives, and more. Not to mention that tonight is a frontal battle, and everyone is covered with fish scale armor that protects the whole body inside the camouflage suit.
The attack was sudden, and of course the fire was fierce. A grenade is followed by a rapid fire of a crossbow. Immediately after that, everyone suddenly appeared from the hiding place, and the other party who killed them was caught off guard. Before the battle was officially engaged, a quarter of the soldiers and horses led by Xu Hu lost their combat effectiveness.
"Oh no, we've got it." Xu Hu shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, the back team will become the front team and resist the opponent's surprise attack." The Chinese army rushed to support, and the rear team spread out on both sides of the defense, and everyone quickly broke through according to the way they came. ”
Here, Xu Hu was decisively frightened by the order, and over there, Xie Wu had already led people to the front. As soon as the two sides approached, the members of the special combat brigade who rushed to the front decisively threw away the strong crossbow in their hands, pulled out the foldable repeater from their waists, and shot at the enemy in front of them, killing some of the opponents on the spot, and then threw away the crossbow in their hands, drew out their respective blades and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent. Hardly two or three special combat personnel have a comrade-in-arms by their side, holding a repeating crossbow to cover the continuous shooting, and the special combat team member with a blade next to him is also very careful to protect this comrade-in-arms, after he shoots a box of crossbow arrows, he buys him time to replenish the crossbow arrows.
This tactic is a unique melee method of special operations brigades, and the advantage is that the soldier with a repeater can constantly output firepower to help his comrades solve strong enemies, while several other people can always take care of this person, so that he is not harmed by the enemy. With the tacit cooperation between the two sides, it is difficult for the enemy to really fight them in close quarters. There are also some people who always stay on the periphery, provide support accurately with strong crossbows, and guard against the opponent's breakthrough, and can quickly join the battle when they see some local comrades unfavorable to ensure their own advantage.
Although Xu Hu had a strong ability to lead troops to fight, he encountered a special operations brigade, and he was ambushed by the other party. At this time, even if Xu Hu has great ability, there is no possibility of reversing. The only way out is to fight your way out as soon as possible.
But the Special Operations Brigade would not give him such a chance at all. Xie Wu did not participate in the battle himself, but stood on the periphery and constantly observed the situation on the battlefield. Commands and adjusts the direction and tactics of your attacks. In just one meal, more than half of Xu Hu's 3,000 people were killed or wounded. It is estimated that in a maximum of one hour, the special operations brigade will be able to completely annihilate the other side.
Xu Hu also realized this, the enemy's equipment and training level was too strong. Almost all of the corpses on the ground were their own people, and the other party was occasionally injured or killed in battle, so he was quickly rescued from the battlefield by his comrade-in-arms Paoze, and then a military doctor with the army came forward to treat him on the spot.
"Everyone scattered and broke out, and the third meeting point converged." Xu Hu once again decisively gave the order.
But when his order had just been given, and before everyone had time to break through, they heard a voice not far from the battlefield.
"Governor, let's give up resistance. Gong has been waiting here for a long time. The Great Zhou has already perished, why should the Metropolitan Governor make such a meaningless resistance, and let these sons die in vain. ”
Xu Hu raised his head and looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw Gongsun Jian wearing a bright yellow dragon robe riding on a horse, followed by Wei Meng, Xie Wu and others. And the figures shook in the darkness around them, and they didn't have to guess to understand that the other party's reinforcements were all in place, and they were surrounded by death.
"Hahaha......" Xu Hu put down the horizontal knife in his hand and laughed. Then he said to Gongsun Jian: "The old man has known countless people in his life, but he couldn't see you clearly. I can't imagine that the old man will die under your knife today. ”
"Presumptuous." Xie Wu, who was beside Gongsun Jian, broke off and said, "Old horseman, if it weren't for His Majesty's repeated requests to capture you alive, you would have thought that you would be able to live to this day with your little manpower." My men have touched your camp several times, and if it weren't for the fact that I had captured you alive, your head would have been on His Majesty's Dragon Book Case. Those who know each other still don't obediently put down their blades and kowtow to confess. ”
"Hahaha, in this way, the old man has to thank the public boy."
"You ......" Gongsun Jian stopped Xie Wu, who was still about to speak, got off the horse and walked a few steps forward, Wei Meng hurriedly followed beside him, faintly blocking half of Gongsun Jian's side with his body, and the other guard was the same, for fear that the hidden arrows flying on the battlefield would hurt Gongsun Jian.
And Gongsun Jian gently pushed Wei Meng and saluted Xu Hu from afar.
"The Metropolitan Governor, Gong Mou used to serve under the Metropolitan Governor's account, thanks to the Metropolitan Governor's care and teachings. Gong didn't dare to forget. Since the Metropolitan is already like this today, why not recognize the facts? You and I can reminisce about the old feelings, maybe we can also work together to create brilliance. ”
"Hmph, the traitorous usurper, although the Zhou State is gone, the old man will still protect the rivers and mountains and the people of the Zhou State. Definitely not in the company of a tyrant like you. ”
"Hahaha, the Metropolitan Governor keeps saying that he wants to protect the people of the Zhou State and the rivers and mountains, but why are you now fighting against the government in the territory of the original Southern Han Dynasty and the current Great Zhou? Why don't you go back to Zhou? Oh, that's right, Zhou Guo is gone. Gongsun Jian looked at each other with a grin. Without waiting for Xu Hu to answer, Gongsun Jian suddenly restrained his smile and said, "Governor Dadu, you are not a foolish and loyal person in the eyes of Gong. Why bother to accompany the funeral for the non-existent Zhou State. The Yue Emperor is a saint, how can my Gongsun Jian oppose him. The prince has been favored by the governor of the capital, and the second is that the prince also cherishes talents like the governor. That's why I've repeatedly issued orders demanding that you must be captured alive. But now that your situation is like this, why are you obsessed? Isn't it possible to drag these sons and daughters to die with you? Don't you think it's selfish to do that? ”
"I ......" Facing Gongsun Jian's questioning, Xu Hu was speechless for a while. But Gongsun Jian didn't give him time to think at all, but raised his hand and waved it loudly and said: "All the troops listen to the order, within ten breaths, if Xu Hu still does not surrender, all the members will attack indiscriminately, and all the rebels here will be killed without leaving a single one." ”
"Yes! Kill, kill, kill! There was a loud shout all over the hills. At this time, Xu Hu was really stunned. looked at the soldiers around him who turned their heads to look at him one by one, and there was a faint trace of unbearability in his heart, do you really want these soldiers to die with him? Does the persistence you have been holding out mean anything at this time? He kept torturing himself in the depths of his heart. In the end, Xu Hu looked up to the sky and sighed, and threw the horizontal knife in his hand to the ground.
"Gongsun Jian, let them go, the old man surrenders."
Xu Hu finally laid down his arms and surrendered, and Gongsun Jian did not embarrass him and his men, and always treated Xu Hu with courtesy.
When he returned to Toyama City and saw the bloodstains in the city that had not yet been disposed of, he understood that Gongsun Jian must have cleansed the city without asking Xu Hu. But Xu Hu was still a little dissatisfied with such a killing, and couldn't help frowning and asked Gongsun Jian: "Boy, don't you think you killed too many people?" ”
"Hehe, Dashuai, the people who are killed by Gong Mou are all people who should be killed. I have never done anything to an innocent person. ”
"Aren't these people under your rule?"
"Aren't they, they are moths that eat meat and drink blood on the people. If these people do not die, the true people of the world will never come out. ”
Listening to Gongsun Jian's answer, Xu Hu's brows tightened. For a long time, he shook his head a little helplessly and said: "You yourself are also from a family, why do you hate people like you so much?" The old man has always paid attention to what you have done over the years, although it may be beneficial to the people, but you can't cut off all the family. Even if you get the world, how can you rule? ”
"Hahaha, Xu Dashuai. Then you'd better go to my earliest territory and take a look, maybe you'll understand by then. Gongsun Jian replied with a laugh, his words full of confidence.
The matter in the south is finally over, and the rest is Cao Liang's business. Now Cao Liang is the governor of the ten southern provinces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is in charge of all military and political affairs in the former Southern Han territory. Huang Wenyuan was also left here to assist him.
Gongsun Jian quietly returned to Linshui County with his men and horses, and when he saw the tall city wall of Linshui County from a distance, Gongsun Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could take a rest. After more than a year of running back and forth, fortunately, the results were very good, and he won the Southern Han Dynasty and unexpectedly gained the entire Zhou Kingdom. After all, it was not in vain.
Back at home, Gongsun Jian saw his family, four wives and five children. Now the fourth brother who was born almost all of them is more than a year old, and he has stumbled and begun to learn to walk, and he can also pop a few words out of his mouth with a milky voice, at least it is okay to call his father.
What makes Gongsun Jian feel most gratifying is the Gong Yu Dance, the twelve-year-old Gong Yu Dance and the appearance of a little adult, slim and elegant. And it's more polite than when I was young, and I'm no longer the girl who plays crazy all day long. But before Gongsun Jian finished sighing, this girl was revealed.
