Little Fort Village. There was a small fortress before this. Because there is a small dirt hill here. The official road passed below them. The location is very important, but there is a small road twenty miles to the south of this passage that bypasses the official road.
A militia was formed in the village of Xiaobao. Because they divided the land, and not only that, but also reduced a lot of taxes, which made their burden much less at once. Many people are very grateful to the Red Turbans. But all this changed because of the arrival of the Northern Army.
"Captain, we can't let them pass through here, they burned our house, the whole village was burned. They have to get revenge. The militia of Xiaobao Village said fiercely. They had fought against the Yellow Turbans before, but the Yellow Turbans had not burned down their houses, and the government had been urging a large amount of food, which made them even more annoyed. They have no good feelings for the officials and the army in the first place.
"But this is the main force of the Northern Army, you see, this is still just a vanguard, a vanguard, there are more than 5,000 people, we can't fight with them." The militia captain of Xiaobao Village said.
"Captain, what's so scary about this, think about it, we are also militia, but if you look at the briefing, the militia of Yang Village can defeat the Xiyuan New Army, why can't we." Other militiamen said.
"That is, if you fight a tough battle, you can enter the main force, my cousin, from the next village, their team will fight with the Xiyuan New Army. Although the number of people is large. The beaters retreated. However, if you don't say it, people can meet the entry criteria. You can now enter the 4th Infantry Brigade. Our business, I think, we can too. Captain, do a job. The rest of the team said.
The Red Turban Army will publicize this benefit, and the battle story of Yang Village will spread quickly, and the soldiers of Yang Village can enter the combat unit or the combat unit, and the combat unit with a number has a number, which has to envy how many people have died, and many people are about to envy it. This seems to have given many militias many, many ways out.
The treatment of the militia and the main force is fundamentally different, although the militia can also make meritorious contributions, for example, the militia in Yangcun can set up a large military industry, and people can also get a first-class meritorious service or something, but the problem is that this kind of combat opportunity cannot be encountered at all, because they are militia. Now's your chance. They felt that the militia should not be withdrawn. They should fight and fight with the other party's real guns, so that they can enter the main force.
"Damn, look at how many people there are down there, let's do it with them, it's a suicide." The captain said.
"Captain, you don't have eggs." One militiaman said angrily.
"Yes. The other militias dare to fight, why can't we, don't we have eggs? We're men, and if we're men, we'll fight with them. A lot of militia members said.
"Yes, it's a man." A lot of militia members have said it. They seem to have a lot of problems with the captain not taking this captain seriously. Because they saw the captain as a eunuch. They believed that their captain did not have the courage to fight. Such a captain is not worthy of them to be captains.
"Damn it. Who said that Lao Tzu is not a man, Lao Tzu will let you see who is a man today. The captain shouted. Saying that, he ordered the whole army to set up a position on the small dirt hill with his bare arms. They were to block the passage of the northern army to the south.
This kind of thing is very impulsive, and the captain has his own considerations. What he originally thought was that the constant harassment and retardation of the other party, in this way, they would be able to complete their tasks, after all, the militia was poorly equipped and poorly trained, and they could not fight like this, although a large number of ** had been replenished recently, and Lijiazhuang was evacuated. But this was not the reason and confidence for them to persist in fighting, but their members were very excited and wanted to join the main force, and just like that, a militia was armed, and they established their positions on the hill. They were to block the southward march of the Northern Army by their own strength.
Huang Fu Song's Chinese army ranks.
"How much do we advance in a day?" Huangfu Song asked Sima on the side.
"Report to the general, our army advances fifty miles in one day." Sima reported for duty like this.
"Nope. Speed up, sixty miles, as fast as possible, and in addition, do not dwell on resistance and immediately get out of the battle. Huangfu Song ordered.
"This." Sima felt that he could not accept such an order.
"Go." Huangfu Song looked at Sima and ordered. Sima clenched his fists and immediately gave the order.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Zhu Jun asked.
"The soldiers are fast, the Red Turban Army is not the Yellow Turban Army, their movements are very fast, Tanma reported that there are a large number of Red Turban Army soldiers chasing us a hundred miles behind, they have no cavalry, they can only rely on the infantry to pursue us, they are frantically pursuing us, we must not do this. Wait for them and we'll lose. Huangfu Song said worriedly.
"Besides, the food of the new army in the West Park can't last long. We must rescue them as soon as possible, and this battle, although very dangerous, must be fought by our army. Huang Fu Song said.
"Yizhen, what do you think of this matter in the court?" Zhu Jun asked.
"Don't think about it too much, think too much about it just yet. This battle can't be fought. Huang Fu Song said.
"This, okay." Zhu Jun said. The situation in the court is extremely unfavorable to Huangfu Song, although their emperor did not issue a decree to reprimand them, but Zhu Jun knows that such a thing is extremely unfavorable to Huangfu Song, if he can reprimand, it is also good, but the problem is not to reprimand, which means that their losses will be very huge, in such a situation, do they have any good way to solve such a thing? Apparently not. This situation made Zhu Jun very worried. But Huangfu Song does not seem to be aware of the danger that is happening in the court. This made Zhu Jun very worried, if it went on like this, Huangfu Song would be very dangerous.
"The army picks up, fast." Huangfu Song urged again. The soldiers of the Northern Army complained very much, this is going crazy.
1st Infantry Brigade Guards Unit. Shang Wu and Jia Xu had come here after a long journey, but the forward troops had already run eighty miles away. Because there is a lack of too many horses. As a result, the pursuit had to rely on their two legs, but the leggings helped them, but the troops were still very tired.
"Whew." Jia Xu took a breath. After all, he is not young anymore.
"This is the latest situation of Huang Fu Song. They're moving very fast. The reconnaissance report said that at one point they advanced to 60 days a day, and the militia forces around us also did some harassment. Raids on military operations. But unfortunately, the effect is not very great, you know these situations, our situation is not very good. Jia Xu said.
"I can understand that." Shang Wu said.
"They must rescue the new army in Xiyuan, what I'm worried about is that we can't stop them, you know, Lao Mu's troops used more than 10,000 people to surround 20,000 troops, such pressure is still relatively large, if it is not handled well, it may be that the northern army will defeat us, and it will also threaten the threat of Lijiazhuang. In this case, our pressure is still very high, and judging from the current speed of our army's pursuit, we are afraid that we will not be able to pursue the northern army, which is still a great threat to us. Shang Wu said worriedly.
"Why don't you let the 3rd Infantry Brigade pursue it quickly?" Jia Xu said.
"If they move fast, they can run 80 miles a day." Jia Xu said.
"No, absolutely not, in that case, the Third Infantry Brigade, even the First Infantry Brigade, can't withstand this, if Huangfu Song reacts quickly, they will counterattack again, and our precious Third Brigade will suffer heavy losses." Shang Wu shook his head and refused.
"There's nothing I can do about it." Jia Xu said. Jia Xu's method is to let the 3rd Infantry Brigade pursue, because the 3rd Infantry Brigade is a force that dares to fight tough battles, and such a force has strong combat effectiveness, so let them rush up and entangle the other party, so that they will have the strength to do a lot of things. For example, second, the battle plan that can buy time and besiege the new army in Xiyuan will hopefully go on at the expense of a third brigade. In exchange for the victory of the whole battle, Jia Xu thought that it was okay. But this is a fact that is difficult for Shang Wu to accept, he can't accept such a result, because such a result is unacceptable to Shang Wu.
"The 3rd Infantry Brigade cannot be sacrificed, even if they can win the battle, the casualties will not be small, and the pursuit for such a long time will result in a considerable loss of troops, and the physical exertion is also amazing. This kind of thing, we can't do it. Shang Wu shook his head and said.
"But in that case, we're in danger." Jia Xu said. You must know that on the passage to the south, there is no longer any force that can intercept the other side. The time it takes for Shang Wu because the Northern Army moves faster than Shang Wu.
"In this way, let the third brigade get closest as soon as possible, or we can let Lao Mu think of a way." Shang Wu said.
"Is it possible? Jia Xu asked Shangwu.
"This is already the most likely thing. This kind of thing can only be done. Shang Wu said helplessly. Jia Xu shook his head helplessly. At this time, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, the bloody army crawling out of the pile of dead men, had to be sacrificed.
This may be the first and greatest danger that Shang Wu encounters, because once the Northern Army and the Xiyuan New Army converge, it will cause a huge strategic change in the situation, and the forces of the official army will be combined, and the entire base area will be under the control of the official army. It seems that the war will completely turn into the most unfavorable situation for the Red Turban Army.
Little Fort Village.
Huangfu Song's army has arrived here.
"How's it going?" Huangfu Song held the binoculars and looked at the small hill not far away, and said.
"Report to the general, our army encountered strong resistance from a Red Turban Army militia here, and they resisted here for two hours, as a result." A Sima reported for duty.
"The result?" Huangfu Song asked.
"The result is annihilation. There were only eighty-seven, eighty-seven of them, and I don't know why. It has really resisted our army for two hours, and today our army may not be able to continue southward. Sima reluctantly reported to such a fact.
"Eighty-seven, it is these eighty-seven people who can resist our army for two hours." Huangfu Song looked at the small hill opposite and said.
"Eighty-seven." Huangfu Song looked at the small hill opposite and said. The battle was raging. It can be said that there is no possibility of recording that eighty-seven militiamen, with their bodies and blood, blocked the army of Huangfu Song for two hours, and in these two hours, the official army launched attacks many times, and the other party dared to launch a counterattack.
"Be buried. They are all heroes. Huang Fu Song said. For such an opponent, it is worthy of respect, because they are resisting themselves with their own lives, and the price of sacrificing themselves is to buy them two hours, which is not much, and it is not even enough to affect the change of the tide of battle. But it was a great shock to Huangfu Song, because the other party's approach made him feel very incomprehensible, because the other party's approach would bring them great disasters.
The time of the Northern Army was wasted.
Separate Brigade. Zhou Cang and Li Dao were advancing rapidly with their troops.
"Quick, quick, forward, forward." Li Dao shouted loudly. The soldiers were sweating profusely, and their clothes were soaking wet. It's getting colder. But they felt very hot.
"No, no. Lao Li, let's advance like this, the losses of the troops are too great. Let's rest, take a break. Zhou Cang asked Li Dao worriedly.
"No, I can't. Old Zhou. The situation of our Red Turban Army is not good, there is no way to eat the new army in Xiyuan, and to the north, the Northern Army is rapidly rushing over, we must rush to the small river beach. Stopping the enemy there, even if it is to buy the main force a day, is very worthwhile. Otherwise, as soon as the encirclement is broken, our situation will be completely passive. Li Dao carefully analyzed the situation and said.
"I know that, but it's a pity that the brothers have been running away for a day. If you continue like this, you will run to death. Zhou Cang said excitedly.
"I just ran away. We've got to get there, and we're going to have to do it anyway. Lao Zhou, if you can't do it, I'll lead the team. Li Dao said excitedly.
"Damn, what is this called, my old Zhou is not a person who is afraid of death. Run. Today is to run to death. You have to run, too. Eat, sleep. There is also peeing all solved on the way. Zhou Cang gave the order to die. All the soldiers heard such an order. Shocked, but the command is dead. They have to do it that way. In one fell swoop, everyone decided to do it. Didn't say anything, just like that, the whole army of the Independent Brigade ran forward. Their target is the small river beach. It was the best place to stop the Northern Army.
