58 Er surrendered at a rapid pace
"Shoot and don't kill. Shoot but don't kill. "Shang Wu ordered his men to rush in, no matter what, it was still crucial to deal with this part of the cavalry first. As for the infantry, they love to come or not. Shang Wu cannot afford to lose the opportunity to eat the opposing cavalry. In fact, what Shang Wu didn't know was that Zhang Sima had no need to send his own infantry to fight at all.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. Grandpa spares his life, spares his life. "The officers and soldiers were already scared at this time. After all, this situation has greatly exceeded their imagination. As soon as you come up, it is surrounded, and in the streets of the village, you can't run at all, because there is a wall in front of you, and you can only slow down the speed of the horses, but as soon as you slow down, the problem immediately comes. The cavalry were terrified, and they thought they had been subjected to the right spells, which caused them to be damned, and they were even more frightened.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. To fight, it is courage to fight. When morale comes up, courage comes up naturally, on the contrary, once a person is timid. Morale will be seriously depressed, and the cavalry of the officers and soldiers will fall into disaster at once, and naturally, they will be eaten.
"Don't kill him. Ask him where their biggest officer is, and clean up the battlefield. Maintain the formation of the troops. Shang Wu shouted loudly. Give orders one by one. After all, the opposing infantry has not yet appeared, which makes Shangwu have to be ready for battle.
"My lord, over there, over there. Ay. It seems that you gave it and killed it. The first cavalryman to surrender replied. His equipment was very good, but unfortunately, it was quickly taken away by the martial Red Turban Army. Armor, helmets, ring-headed knives, and military boots are also the things they need most, if it weren't for Shangwu, it is estimated that their clothes would have been stripped off. There is no way, the Red Turban Army lacks anything.
Shang Wu quickly went over and checked on the other officer. It looks like it's true, getting a weapon is different from others, and the armor looks more delicate than others. It's a pity that his face was covered in blood, and so were a few nearby, and one of them blew up before his eyeballs.
"Go find out who did this. Fucking accurate. Shang Wu said with a smile.
"Sir. Sir. How's that, this guy, how's that? Zhang Qing ran over excitedly and said. He held his bow and arrows.
"Look at this, did you blow it up?" Shangwu asked.
"Sir, this is what I killed, and I saw several people gathered around him, and I thought, it must be an officer. I used the largest one, and the charge was almost half a catty. Fly over all at once. Blew them up. There are also iron nails added to it. Zhang Qing said. Zhang Qing also killed a few in the street fighting. However, he felt that he was killing all small people, and he suddenly found a character like Zhang Sima, so he naturally moved closer to the other party, and then used what he was in his hand to kill the other party.
"Hmm. Good job, give you credit this time. Shang Wu said with a smile.
"Huh. Thank you, sir. Zhang Qing was embarrassed.
"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and bring the horses alive. Dead. Eat meat tonight. Shang Wu shouted loudly.
"Okay." The morale of the soldiers was high.
"How's it going, old Yang. The Red Turbans are powerful, right? A second lieutenant came over and said.
"This, how is this fighting, I didn't see any of us injured, how did the other party die and say this, huh. You watched the killing. Lao Yang said puzzled.
"Be active in killing the enemy in the future, we are the Red Turban Army, and the commander is not an ordinary person." The second lieutenant said. Then they got some loot and started to assemble their ranks. The battle is not over.
In this battle, Shangwu's casualties were very small, only three people were slightly injured, and it was the militia and arsenal personnel who caused a lot of casualties on the other side. This greatly boosted the mood of the militia. On the contrary, it made the regular army a little uncomfortable.
They decided to fight a bigger fight.
"Sir, according to the prisoners' confessions, the infantry did not attack at all, they are still stationed in Sanjia Village, and they have been much slack in defense, and they only know more than 300 infantrymen. In addition, their military commander, Zhang Sima, has already been killed by us. "Xiaodouzi did a good job in intelligence at the first time, and the intelligence came from the reconnaissance at the front. There are also confessions from captives.
"Good. Since they don't come, we'll go. Come with me, brethren. Surround Sanjia Village. Fight the momentum of our Red Turban Army. Shang Wu shouted loudly.
"Gone. Kill the past. "The morale of the Red Turban Army is high.
Shang Wu left the militia and two companies to clean up the battlefield, and arranged for manpower to carry out large-scale disinfection, that is, spraying a large amount of quicklime on bloodstained areas.
"Wait, Niu, Niu." When the team was leaving, Shang Wu suddenly saw the horses, and Ah Niu was taking care of them.
"Sir, you're looking for me." Ah Niu ran over quickly, and some of the horses were only injured. He was very distressed and was carefully treating the other party's injuries.
"How many more horses are available?" Shangwu asked.
"Sir, about, seventy horses." Ah Niu said.
"Good. Zhang Li. Zhang Li came over. Shang Wu shouted loudly.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Zhang Li's team is in the process of being pulled.
"Go, saddle those saddles, remodel, we're going to use cavalry to settle the battle." Shang Wu shouted loudly.
"This. Sir, we don't know how to ride horses. Moreover, this horseback riding is difficult. Zhang Li said embarrassedly. True, there were no stirrups at this time. It was too hard to get them to ride horses.
"Go find some hemp rope and I'll show you how." Shang Wu said. Immediately, Shang Wu made two rings out of hemp rope, and then modified the saddle so that the two rings hung down equally. This creates a simple stirrup. In fact, this is what the early stirrups looked like.
"See, this is called a stirrup, put your foot on the stirrup, and you will be able to control the horse very well." Shang Wu said.
"Go, pick some people out, I'm going to set up two cavalry platoons, go." Shang Wu ordered to arrive. Zhang Li looked at it and was very excited, with the cavalry troops, their combat effectiveness would be increased exponentially, every time he pursued the enemy, he was reluctant to go, why, because he needed to run, he was tired to death. Now they have cavalry. Combat effectiveness, that's not an exponential increase.
Soon seventy cavalry were selected, and Shangwu quickly came to Sanjia Village with the cavalry.
Typical triangular encirclement array. Kuroko is estimated to be the only one trick.
"The officers and soldiers inside, get out of here, give grandpa a big fight, grandpa will kill you without leaving a piece of armor." Kuroko shouted excitedly.
"Get out, get out." Kuroko shouted loudly.
"Alright. Come on. Shut up, what are you shouting? "Shangwu came on horseback, which attracted Kuroko to come over.
"Sir, this, horse." Kuroko said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"This is cavalry, Lao Tzu will form a cavalry unit in the future, let me ask you, what are you shouting?" Shangwu asked Kuroko.
"Get out of here and fight us." Kuroko replied. He felt like he had done nothing wrong.
"You're so stupid, you can fight? Do you know what it means to be a soldier who surrenders without a fight? Tell them to surrender as soon as possible, we will treat the captives preferentially, and in addition, hang up the head of that Zhang Sima and tell them that their commander has been killed. Surrender, we can not blame the past. Keep them safe, and you're stupid for letting people get out. Shang Wu scolded.
"Also, your formation, look at what it looks like, and you will be given it according to military standards." Shang Wu said. Kuroko stuck out his tongue, and he felt that he had done something wrong again. Shangwu was also very helpless, and the ranks expanded rapidly, but the quality of military command could not be improved for a long time, and the reason was that the quality of the officers was too low, and they did not recognize their mistakes at all.
"Surrender quickly, and we will give preferential treatment to the captives." Soon, the picture changed. Shang Wu knew that none of the officers and soldiers inside wanted to fight, after all, no one wanted to be surrounded by more than a thousand people. This is not a good thing, and besides, their commander is dead. Although Shang Wu resents this practice of beheading, there are times when there is no better way to do it. A soldier stood up with a spear carrying Zhang Sima's head, and the martial cavalry kept running back and forth. Many horses and infantry could recognize it. This has further exacerbated the instability of the officers and troops.
"Surrender as soon as possible." Shang Wu didn't know who came up with such crepe words.
"We treat our captives well, and spare you from death. If you want to join our Red Turban Army, we welcome it, and if you don't want to, we will pay for your journey and let you go home. Shang Wu said.
"Your commander has been killed by us. Give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, or else, kill it, and don't blame us for being rude. Shang Wu gave an ultimatum loudly.
"Come on, let them see how good we are." Shangwu ordered one of the soldiers to release the fireworks they had made.
"Whoosh. Whoosh. Syllable. Syllable. Syllable. "The fireworks kept flying out, and then the green smoke exploded in the air, and the colors were also very beautiful. If it is placed in modern times, Shangwu knows that many people will laugh, not because they think that fighting a war should be a serious matter, and it is definitely not to set off fireworks. But now, for the officers and soldiers who have never seen the first weapon, this is the most terrible thing. They believe that this is the demon law of the Red Turban Army. They didn't know how the other party did it, but if these things crackled and killed, they couldn't withstand such a situation.
"General, don't do it, I'll wait, it's down." An infantry officer shouted loudly. So far, that's all it can be.
