Chapter 43 Less Wins More Normal Operation
The rain fell from the sky like beads with broken threads, shading everything near and far, and everything around was immersed in the rain curtain.
The raindrops hit the makeshift shed, making a popping sound, and the carts covered with the tarpaulin, and the pack horses grazing with joy, far and near, were all in this endless rain.
Most of the guards were soaked in their clothes and armor, hiding in makeshift sheds, looking at the front and rear with bright eyes, where there was a group of bandits coming, and they could fight again, and military merits, honors, and silver rewards were in front of them again.
The old cat is spitting:
"Follow the captain to fight, these bandits are like paper paste, Lao Tzu's opportunity to make contributions is coming again, let the bandits come more violently."
Dahao next to him couldn't help but expose him:
"You can pull it down, the last time you fought the bandits, your grandson was at the back of the military formation, and he didn't even touch the bandits' hair, how do you know that the enemy is like paper paste."
The second dog holding the spear and closing his eyes to recuperate is an old soldier, and the old god is saying:
"Although the old cat loves to brag, that sentence is good, fighting with the captain, the enemy is like paper, Lao Tzu has followed several battalion officers, and it is easy to fight with the captain."
In the rain, two more heralds rushed from the front and back, two of them rolled into the saddle and dismounted, their hair was in strands, the rain flowed down their side faces, and they said in unison:
"There are about five hundred bandits, who are coming in the rain, and there are many horses, and it is suspected that there are Tulle people in the middle."
Su Lu waved his hand and ordered the two of them to pack up their clothes, it was already difficult to fight in the rain, especially now that it was approaching dark, could these bandits be about to starve to death, and they would come to rob in such weather?
There are more than 500 in the front and more than 500 in the back, which is more than 1,000 people in total, which is a lot more than the guards under his command, and this is a big battle.
After a few turns of thought, Su Lu made up his mind: "Someone, send an order, withdraw all the scouts, Su Ping, gather all the pikemen, pull in the rear, and listen to my command to attack." ”
"Zhao Fatzi, gather all the sword and shield soldiers, put on hats and ponchos, cloth tortoise shell formation, and prepare for battle."
Su Lu commanded in an orderly manner.
Soon, the guards moved, and the tortoiseshell array and the crab formation took shape in the rain one after another, and the two phalanxes moved and approached the official road.
The bandits' fighting spirit is not high, especially now that it is raining, the impact of the horses is almost reduced to the extreme, and after the tortoiseshell formation defense bonus of the sword and shield soldiers, they can completely block these cavalry.
When the bandits' impact is exhausted, then accept the harvest of the spear array.
……
Xie Bald was wrapped in a poncho and yelled at Li Guozhi next to him:
"This rainy and dark day, let the brothers go over and send them to death? No matter how unbearable the guards were, it was still possible to hack a few exhausted wastes to death. ”
Li Guozhi's clothes were all soaked, wrapped around his body like a sticky cloth, and he was also irritable and tight.
"These Tule grandsons, this is using us as spearheads, and we won't be finished if we don't kill them."
Xie Bald glanced at the Thule people behind him in fear, and lowered his voice to count Li Guozhi:
"Second brother, you are stupid, how can you say this about the Thule people, they promised us high-ranking officials, naturally they want us to kill more guards."
Li Guozhi glanced at Xie Bald in surprise and did not speak again. Now the cottage is different from before, since the eldest brother Blood Lion was recruited by Tule and became the head of a thousand households in Tule, the village has become the Tule people who have the final say.
If in the past, when such a storm had occurred, the brothers would have snuggled up in the stockade and slept on the fire, how could they dare to brave the rain to attack the grain convoy of the guards.
"Be careful"
Xie Bald leaned over and grabbed Li Guozhi's butt.
Li Guozhi's horse had already walked to the side of the road, and if he moved a little more, he would have to roll down the official road, which was next to a ditch, and thinking about the feeling of being flooded by the rain into his neck, Li Guozhi's heart was cold.
The pathfinder bandit hurried from the front, and his voice was urgent:
"The second village master, the third village master, the guards in front of them have descended the official road and formed a formation to defend it, do we still want to continue to attack?"
This bandit once followed Li Guozhi to attack Beiyang, and was frightened by Su Lu's military formation, and was timid when he saw the guards in formation.
Xie Bald wiped a handful of rain from his face, and yelled and scolded:
"Li Xiaosan, your grandson is timid again, if you are cowardly, get out of the army and raise horses, Lao Tzu doesn't need a waste like you."
Li Xiaosan glanced at Xie Bald, pulled off the poncho on his body, threw it on the ground angrily, urged the war horse, and went to the rear army, looking like I was going to raise horses.
Xie Bald made a big red face, and said in his heart What is the situation with Li Xiaosan's grandson, he was agitated in the past, and when he turned his head, he screamed and rushed up, how could he really become a coward today.
"I'm afraid the guards this time are really difficult to deal with."
Li Guozhi suddenly spoke, relieving Xie Bald's embarrassment.
Xie Bald took the opportunity to speak: "Second brother, don't grow up with other people's ambitions, what is difficult for the guards to deal with, we have killed so many guards, and we have not encountered any bones that cannot be gnawed, besides, there are not still Thule people pressing the formation." ”
"Beiyang"
Li Guozhi's words made Xie Bald open his mouth, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
In Beiyang, Li Guozhi left Xie Bald and ran away, Xie Bald is still haunted by it, if your grandson doesn't run, we may take Beiyang.
A Thule man dressed as a bandit urged his horse over and asked Li Guozhi why he didn't move forward quickly and destroy the group of guards.
Li Guozhi glanced at the Thule people, did not speak, waved his hand, and ordered the team to continue forward.
After many dealings, Li Guozhi knew that the Tule people did not regard themselves as human beings at all, and as for those appointment letters, Li Guozhi felt that they were fooling children, and they could not be taken seriously, and the Tule people were completely using their own people as slaves.
Seeing that the bandits had quickened their march, the Thule man smiled and conversed with his companion in Thule.
"This group of fools doesn't even have their own opinions, marching on a rainy night is a taboo, and now they want to attack again, they are really looking for death."
The partner next to him was very strange: "Then why don't you stop, they are also our partners now." ”
Officer Thule smiled suspiciously: "What do you know, Abdule, they are all Han Chinese, and the war consumes the horses, grain and grass of the Han people, we just produced a piece of paper, which is very cost-effective, and when they run out, we will be even more cost-effective." ”
Abdul scolded: "Madman, you are really a madman, you will kill us." ”
Tugutu laughed: "Don't worry, the Han people can't keep our Tulle elite attachment at all, sheep-like things, born to rob us, they are the gift of Immortal Heaven to us Tulle." ”
……
In the rain, the bandits finally saw the guards under the official road, forming a self-defending formation.
Xie Bald assessed the number of guards and was overjoyed.
"Second brother, there are only six hundred guards in the army, and we can crush them with one impact."
"Then go up, kill them, go back to the mountains and sleep, I'm almost frozen to death."
Li Guozhi said irritably.
Xie Bald raised his arms and shouted: "Listen to the front and back, hug up, kill them, and we will go back to the mountain to sleep." ”
"Bang Bang Bang"
The bandits moved, the rain and mud scattered in all directions, the rain curtain was broken, and the bandits wrapped in various colors and armor urged their horses with great difficulty to charge the guard army not far away.
"Shoot"
The guards roared, and hundreds of arrows fell from the sky with raindrops, falling in the bandit formation, and the bandits who rushed into the formation rolled off the saddle one after another, and the momentum of the bandits' charge was stagnant.
Li Guo's heart was cold, this familiar feeling?
It's still the same guard army that I met in Beiyang!
Looking at the familiar formation, as well as the green-clothed captain hidden in the back formation, Li Guozhi felt a chill down his spine, it was a rainy day, and he could still put the military formation so neatly, among the guards he encountered, there was only one in Beiyang.
It's over!
Li Guozhi suppressed the horses, he didn't think that the rabble under his command had the ability to compete with the Beiyang Guard.
Fewer guards?
didn't exist, engaged twice, and that time he didn't rely on a small number of guards to beat his own.
Winning more with less is the normal operation of this grandson!
Made, I'm going to be bullied by this grandson again......
