Chapter Thirty-Six: The Bandits in the Mountains Are Deeply Harmful
A wooded forest about five miles from the town of Bali
The militia militiamen who had just rushed all the way here were hurrying to rest and prepare for the upcoming big war.
The militia rested, but Yan Kui and other generals didn't have time to catch their breath, and immediately took out the map to study tactics.
Just now, Yan Kui sent out a few scouts to find out that Bali Town was still holding on under the fierce attack of Heifengling, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to rush up with people to fight with the bandits, but planned to choose a plan.
After all, these 500 militiamen are a team trained by Yan Kui, and at the moment, he doesn't want the militia who have not yet been trained to lose too much here.
Die before leaving the school.
That's too embarrassing............
Anyway, Bali Town has not been captured for the time being, so it is just the right opportunity to let the militia who are marching in a hurry to rest and recuperate.
So, Yan Kui led the militia to a forest not far from Bali Town, quietly hidden, and then sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the battle situation in Bali Town.
He himself also hurriedly discussed with his captains' deputies to see if he could come up with a strategy that could not only relieve the siege of Bali Town, but also reduce his own losses.
………
In fact, judging from the current situation, Yan Kui's side still has a great advantage, after all, he has five hundred militiamen under his command, plus Zhang Wei's men and horses in Bali Town, the number of officers and soldiers is several percent more than the Black Wind Ridge bandits led by Luo Biao.
As long as Yan Kui makes the reinforcements a little bigger, Bali Town will definitely be able to receive the news, and under the internal and external attacks of the two sides, the bandits will definitely not dare to fight, and the siege of Bali Town will be easily lifted.
It's just that if this is the case, although the crisis in Bali Town has been resolved, for the bandits of the Black Wind Ridge, they only lost some men and horses during the siege, and on the whole, the vitality is still there.
Therefore, it is very likely that they will make a comeback in the future and attack Bali Town or several other towns again to achieve their goal.
There are so many people in Qingyuan County, and they have to garrison the county seat, so it is impossible to send too many people to each town, and the strength of a single town is obviously difficult to resist the attack of Black Wind Ridge.
Therefore, if you don't take this opportunity to beat Heifengling once and make them cower in the cottage and dare not go down the mountain, it is very likely that the situation like today's situation in Bali Town will happen again, and at that time, the county government may not have time to rescue in time as much as today.
…………
In fact, Yan Kui really wants to lead the militia to rush forward, and fight the bandits of Heifengling at any cost, not to mention that he can hurt Luo Biao, but he can also bite off a piece of his flesh, so that he has scruples and does not dare to be so unscrupulous.
But if this is the case, the losses of the militia may be unexpectedly heavy, and Yan Kui is reluctant.
Therefore, things are frozen here, let the militias and bandits under him die to the death, Yan Kui is reluctant; Don't die, once the tiger returns to the mountain, it is likely to be too late to regret it.
Tangled.........
Yan Kui discussed with Liu Mao and others for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good ideas.
Just as they stared at each other and were speechless, the scout sent out suddenly came to report that the Bali Town side was almost unable to hold on.
There's no need to worry about it now, let's rescue first.
Yan Kui gave an order, and the militiamen who had rested for a while got up under the scolding of their respective captains and deputies, sorted out their weapons and clothing, and then followed Yan Kui, who took the lead, to leave the woods and go to Bali Town.
…………
Under Yan Kui's intentional or unintentional connivance, the movement of the militia group when they marched to help was quite loud, the shouting and killing sound shook the four fields, and the people were still far away, and the sound had already reached the ears of the two sides who were fighting on the city wall of Bali Town.
Bali Town Tower
With a knife to cut back a bandit who had just climbed the city tower, Zhang Wei's tired face suddenly appeared with surprise, and with a wave of the big knife, he roared loudly: "The county government reinforcements have arrived, brothers will kill me." ”
Needless to say, the patrolmen who had already heard the shouts of the militia suddenly rose in their desperate morale, and they gritted their teeth and desperately killed the bandits.
In any case, the town must be held at the last moment when reinforcements arrive.
On the contrary, when the bandits of Heifengling heard that the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers were arriving, they immediately fell to the bottom of the valley in an unhurried mood, and the minions below had no intention of attacking the city.
Under the city
Looking at the retreating minions, Luo Biao's face was gloomy, and he had the intention to let people rush again, but the shouting and killing sound behind him that was getting closer and closer let him know that if he didn't retreat, he might be attacked inside and outside and make dumplings.
After staring at the city wall of Bali Town for a moment with an unpredictable face, the big boss Luo finally gave the order to retreat under the gaze of the leaders of the Black Wind Ridge.
…………
After collecting the wounded soldiers, Luo Biao personally retreated, and the bandits of Heifengling retreated in an orderly and rapid manner to the front of the side.
Zhang Wei saw the retreating bandits on the city wall, and had the intention to lead people to pursue, but looking at the patrolmen who were already tired and paralyzed on the ground of the city tower, and the various wounded patrolmen were powerless.
And the militia groups that had already rushed over also saw the retreating Black Wind Ridge bandits.
Yan Kui didn't want to entangle with him, and he was afraid of deception, so he didn't follow up and chase and kill, but just kept a certain distance from the persecution, and the two sides were deadlocked until all the bandits in Heifengling withdrew around Bali Town, and Yan Kui asked Liu Mao to let the militia rest and recuperate, and he took a few men to the city gate.
"I'm Yan Kui of the Qingyuan People's League, Zhang Patrol is available, is there any harm in the city?"
Zhang Wei poked his head from the female wall, he knew Yan Kui, when Yan Kui was still hunting in Chongshan, he sold fur and game in Bali Town, and the two had met each other in the town a few times, although they were not familiar with each other, but they also talked a few times.
Not to mention Gong Fa, who is now standing next to Yan Kui, was on an errand under Zhang Wei not long ago, maybe Zhang Wei may not be able to trust Yan Kui, but for Gong Fa, who has been with him for several years, he still believes in his character.
"Open the door."
With a roar and his subordinates opening the city gate, Zhang Wei took his nephew Zhang Mantang down the city tower and personally greeted Yan Kui at the city gate.
………
The gates were ajar.
Zhang Wei came out with a few greetings, and as soon as he touched Yan Kui, he immediately leaned down and bowed: "Zhang Wei represents all the people of Bali Town and the brothers of the East Patrol Inspection, thank you for the rescue of the regiment." ”
Yan Kui hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Wei up: "For the sake of the matter, the inspection does not have to be like this. ”
The two sides gave each other a round of courtesy, and Yan Kui saw that Zhang Wei and the others were disgraced and covered in blood, and couldn't help but ask about the casualties.
Zhang Wei's face was a little gloomy: "The inspection department alone has killed at least one-third of his brothers in battle, and the rest of the people have minor and serious injuries."
As for the young men who helped in the war, the casualties were even heavier, and it is estimated that after tonight, there will be three adults in Bali Town. ”
"Hiss......"
Although he was already mentally prepared, hearing the specific casualties in Bali Town, Yan Kui couldn't help but gasp.
After this battle, half of the East Inspection Division was abolished, and the entire Bali Town was also greatly damaged.
The mountain bandits are very harmful.
