(800 monthly passes plus more, thank you for your monthly passes and recommended tickets!) οΌ
In the sixth year of the Sui Dynasty, mid-autumn and August.
Jiin-gun, Onozawa.
In the early afternoon, a group of Onozawa bandits wrapped in red cloth knelt on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, and did not dare to say a word. Around them, there were soldiers and villagers with bloody knives in their hands.
The kneeling bandits were demoralized and silent.
And the soldiers and villagers next to them were very excited, and their faces were flushed.
I wanted to fish with a purse seine net, but I ended up being caught in a net.
After a fierce battle, the Onozawa bandits, who were already a rabble, were defeated by the officers and soldiers who were far less numerous than them.
The 2,000 attacking bandits, plus the hundreds of captives rescued before, against the 500 officers and soldiers, they were killed more than 300 people in the first battle, and the rest were captured, almost 2,000 were captured in this battle, and only a very few escaped.
"Sima."
Luo Cheng came over with a group of officers, and everywhere he passed, the officers and soldiers saluted one after another. In this battle, Luo Cheng personally commanded and fought an unimaginable record.
Luo Cheng nodded to everyone, kept walking inside, and came to the innermost, where a group of county soldiers were sitting there, compared with the excitement of the brothers outside, they were a little gloomy.
They are the three hundred who were left behind.
At this time, there were about two hundred or so left, Luo Cheng asked them to guard the camp, these people didn't care much at all, they didn't think that anyone would dare to attack the camp.
As a result, they were caught off guard, and although they wanted to resist, two thousand bandits attacked in many ways, and before they could hit twice, these people had no morale and surrendered directly.
Fortunately, the bandits did not kill indiscriminately, snatched their weapons, and then tied their hands and feet, gagged them, and threw them in a corner tent. However, if Luo Cheng hadn't come back, the fate of these people would not have been much better.
The brothers outside have just won the battle, and they are all happy, after all, there will be a reward for winning the battle. But not only did they fail, but they also lost their camp.
The brothers outside were eating fish and meat, but their lunch was only simple gruel.
Luo Cheng frowned, "It's not easy for brothers, get some meat." β
Shan Xiong said, "These straight thieves can't even hold a camp, and they still want to have meat?" It's good to have porridge to drink! Among the three hundred people, there were also Shan Xiongxin's subordinates, so he felt very shameless.
"The thieves attacked with two thousand, and the brothers were outnumbered by desperate resistance, and they did not surrender the thieves directly." Luo Cheng exonerated these people a few words, after all, these people were actually not his subordinates. Besides, those people are also county soldiers and townsmen, and they can't be required by the strictness of their own military camps.
Anyway, this battle is won, comfort them.
If his own soldiers were like this, Luo Cheng would definitely be punished.
But since it is a friendly army, it must not hurt the feelings of the friendly army. Otherwise, in the future, he Luo Cheng will go out of the county to fight and suppress bandits, who is willing to help.
After comforting the captured villagers, and then inspecting the camp, Luo Cheng returned to his tent.
Wang Ziming and a group of scribes have already ruled the results of the war.
In total, more than 300 enemies were killed, more than 2,000 were captured, and about 100 escaped.
"Sima, we have found a problem, among those bandits, there are a very large number of horizontal knives. Although it is not a military standard, it is also a complete imitation of the saber, and the materials are extremely sufficient, and it is a high-grade horizontal knife. Two thousand attacking bandits, almost all of them had one of these horizontal knives. In addition, there are quite a few spears and shields, all of which are brand new. β
"And quite a few bows."
Needless to say, in fact, Luo Cheng also discovered this problem when he checked the loot just now. Not only swords, shields, guns and spears, but even a lot of armor.
The number of armor is not much, only about a hundred, but a group of bandits, there are hundreds of armor, even the worst leather armor, which is enough to shock.
"Cunxiao, did you ask something?" Luo Cheng asked the fourth child, he was in charge of interrogation after the war.
The fourth said with a smile, "Guess what I asked, I might scare you when I said it." No wonder the bandits dared to be so bold this time, it turned out that they had been guided by a master and supported by a master's equipment. β
"What master?"
"You also know, our old friends, Wang Bo and Wang Yong."
"Is it them? Running here? Wang Bo escaped in Beijing a few years ago, but he unexpectedly returned to Henan, and he got involved with Wang Yong again. They got the equipment too? β
"That's right, this Wang Bo Wang Yong came to this big field not long ago and met with the leaders of the villages. He explained that these people united and formed an alliance, respecting Wang Bo as a scoop and Wang Yong as a military advisor. Then they didn't know where to get a large number of ordnance, and then they also sent bandits to form a sharp battalion, with six regiments under their jurisdiction, with a total of 3,000 men and horses. β
"The bandits in this sharp camp are armed with many horizontal knives and spears, and even bows and crossbows."
"No wonder!" Luo Chengdao.
He almost has a point in his heart now, he has long known that Wang Bodang is Li Mi's protΓ©gΓ©, so he can almost guess that Wang Yong is actually a disciple of Li Mi, running for him in front of the stage. Wang Bo was co-opted by him.
Li Mi has long been recorded in the history books, and he is a very restless master.
And Li Mi is actually just a mastermind, the real person behind the scenes is someone else, Shi Zai This person is the son of Yang Su, the four famous generals of the founding of the country, Yang Su was originally a civil minister, but he can command the army very powerful, he can be a general and enter the prime minister, and he has failed to lead the army in his life. His most powerful thing is not to fight, but to help Yang Guang succeed to the throne, but after helping Yang Guang become the emperor, Yang Su did not end well, although he was a scholar for a few days, but in the end he died without daring to take the medicine.
Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, is known as the little overlord, extremely brave, known as Xiang Yu's reincarnation, he is extremely powerful, and the general horse lance is not suitable for the hand, and he uses a overlord halberd, which is said to be long and heavy. Relying on his father's merits, he was made a duke when he was very young, and then he was released as an assassin at a young age, and then after his father's death, he was worried for three years. Now that he is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites in the court, Shi Zai, Yang Xuangan wanted to kill Yang Guang several times, but his uncle kept persuading him, so he kept holding back. But in the ninth year of the Great Cause, when Yang Guanger conquered Goguryeo, Yang Xuangan, who was supervising the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, finally rebelled.
Combined with the records in these history books, Luo Cheng speculated that behind this Wang Yong, the eight achievements were felt by Li Mi and Yang Xuan.
Especially now that Wang Yong can not only unite these Onozawa bandits, but also get so many weapons, you can know how his hands and eyes reach the sky.
"It's a pity that the three thieves Wang Dangren, Zhou Wenju, and Li Gongyi escaped."
"Wang Bo and Wang Yong are the new leaders of this gang of bandits, why didn't they come this time?"
"It is said that there is another important matter, and I have taken the soldiers and horses away."
"It's a pity, it would be nice if old friends could see each other."
The fourth said, "I'll see you again sooner or later, this time we not only captured more thieves, but the captured ordnance is even more unexpected, and we have made a fortune." β
"It's true that I've made a fortune, but it's better to follow the old rules and share it among each family."
I had already made an appointment with each family before, and this time I sent troops, although the Changbai Eagle Yang Mansion only sent out 200 soldiers, but half of the spoils should be divided, and the remaining half would be divided equally among the 600 soldiers of the other families.
"There are so many thieves, half of them are more than a thousand, and they are sent back to Changbai Mountain, just to be a Tuntian slave."
