Chapter 388 Engaging the Thieves
After Liu Renjie's cavalry troops arrived at the bank of the Pu River, they were already very close to the thieves' main formation, and if they marched to attack again at this time, they were afraid that it would be a little difficult, so Liu Renjie ordered Sun Wuxian to take a few of his men to the west to investigate the enemy's situation, and he himself took the rest of the cavalry to stand by and wait for Liu Renyu's large army to arrive.
Besides, Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo's troops were both motorized troops, and they marched extremely fast, and they joined Liu Renjie's troops after a short time.
"Report, tell the marshal, the thieves in Zhenyuan City poured out, with more than 50,000 people, and went straight to us to kill them." After Sun Wuxian led people to reconnoitre, after returning to his own army, he saw Liu Renyu and said in a loud voice.
"The thieves came just in time, but it also saved us the effort of bombarding the city, and ordered Ke Zhihong to raise the hot air balloon and prepare to observe the effect of the shelling and correct the direction of the shelling." When Liu Renyu heard this, he first smiled, and then ordered Liu Renjie beside him.
"Yes, Marshal." Liu Renjie got the order, so he quickly informed Ke Zhihong and quickly raised the hot air balloon.
"Jiye, I order you to quickly line up our chariots in the shape of a mountain, and when we engage the thieves, we will prepare for the shelling." Liu Renyufu ordered Li Jiye beside him again.
"Yes, Marshal." Li Jiye got the order, so he went straight to arrange the troops.
Not long after, Ke Zhihong's three hot air balloons rose into the air and floated in the air.
Ke Zhihong held a pair of glasses in his hand, taking in all the scenes within a radius of seven or eight miles.

"Look, what's that?" The Red Army comrade, who was moving forward, suddenly looked up and happened to see a hot air balloon fluttering in the wind in the sky in the distance, so he exclaimed with a look of surprise on his face.
In ancient times, there were no mobile phones, computers, televisions, and people went to bed early at night, so this vision was above 5.8, which was very good.
As soon as the Red Army friend's voice fell, Du San'er, Li Dusi, Yang Laochai, Hao Lin'an, Liu Liu and other thieves looked up, and found that there was a thing similar to a gourd floating in the sky, and there was a hanging basket under the gourd, and there seemed to be people standing in the hanging basket.
"Oh my God, how did they do it, they could actually make people fly to the sky, oh my God, oh my God." Li Dusi looked at the hot air balloon in the sky and shouted in surprise.
"It turns out that the rumors are true, and the officers and soldiers really have something that can fly in the sky." Yang Laochai was also surprised and inexplicable.
"I have heard that if there is such a thing, we only have the Shaanxi Jingbian Fort Army in Daming, that is to say, what we will fight later is the strong army that has won a hundred battles!" Li Dusi was frightened and inexplicable.
"If he comes, how can we resist it?" Du San'er panicked.
"What are you panicking about, what are you panicking about? What if they are the Jingbian Fort Army! What if there are flying things! I haven't heard of any big role in this thing, and we don't know how many of them there are! Let's go over and take a look first, if there are few of them, let's press them over, dozens of them fight one, I don't believe that they are all three-headed and six-armed, and they can still defeat the man-sea warfare method. If we can kill and retreat this way of the officers and soldiers, we might as well take these homeless people to retreat north, and in the future, we will bring Qingyang and Huanxian, and the fortress that attacks the landlord Laocai can also be used as cannon fodder.
If they have a lot of soldiers in Jingbian Fort, we will definitely not be able to resist it, so in order to get out, it means to drive the displaced people to attack the official army, let the displaced people fight with the official army, and when the war is anxious, we will take the old brothers to take the opportunity to run away, what do you think? "The Red Army Friend is the temporary leader of this gang of thieves, so if he says a rule, everyone will always have to listen to it.
"What the red master said is right, he is convinced, and he will do as you say." Yang Laochai took the lead in responding.
"That's it, it's not once or twice that we've been chased by the officers and soldiers, which one didn't escape safely, and finally made a comeback, no matter how many people there are in his officers and soldiers, let's go fight for a while first." Du San'er also responded.
The rest of the thieves naturally didn't have anything to say, and they would talk about her mother's fight first.
Ten miles away, it is not very long, the Red Army friends and other thieves walked all the way, it took four hours to get to the battlefield, at this time the army of the two generals Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo on the opposite side was all looked at by the thieves.
Even if these thieves have not learned arithmetic, they can clearly see that the number of officers and soldiers is really too small, only a few thousand, while on their own side, there are nearly 50,000.
"Hey, our sentinels were always intercepted and killed before, and I thought that since the officers and soldiers were covered so tightly, there were tens of thousands of people, how could I know that there were only so many people, this fucking is not enough, we have 50,000 people, this battle is not easy to fight, surrounded on all sides, with all their might, ten to fight one, tired to kill them." Yang Laochai looked at the number of officers and soldiers on the other side, and said with a relaxed expression.
"No, no, don't you hear that there is a lack of one in the siege, if it is surrounded on all sides, wouldn't it inspire the determination of the officers and soldiers to fight to the death, I feel that it is better to open the net and leave them some thoughts, let them think that there is still a way to retreat, and they will not fight with us." Du San'er felt that Yang Laochai's idea had loopholes, so he corrected it.
"Ha, I don't think Du San'er is in charge of a figure like Zhuge Kongming, even if he knows such strategies, high, really high!" Liu Liu felt that what Du San'er said was very reasonable, so he gave a thumbs up and praised the latter.
"Liu Liu's master has won the award, this is all from the storyteller, and there are many such strategies in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Du San'er laughed.
"It's still amazing to learn and use it!" Hao Lin'an also lost no time in patting Du San'er's ass.
"Hahahaha, it's over, it's over." Du San'er smiled and waved his hand again and again.
"Okay, okay, a few masters, don't be busy talking about this, let's first follow the strategy of the Du San'er brothers, besiege the west, north, and south sides of the official army, leaving only the east for them, and then besiege them with all our might, how about it?" The Red Army friends asked the leaders.
"Just according to the words of the Red Army comrades." The leaders all agreed, and then drove the displaced people, divided into three groups, and surrounded the north, west, and south of Liu Wuguo and Liu Renyu's troops and horses.
"Wait and listen, it's still the old rule, kill an officer and soldier, receive a full meal with his head, enter the old camp, live in the county seat, if you dare to escape, you will be killed on the spot, and you will not be spared." Red Army friends and several other thieves ordered their subordinates to spread this sentence everywhere, to boost the morale of the displaced people, and to force them to fight to the death.
In the past, these homeless people were honest farmers, or powerless and oppressed by the government.
However, now that the situation is pressing, even the honest people who used to see the officers and soldiers turned their legs and stomachs, and they had to hold a stone or a stick, and slowly forced towards the officials and soldiers helplessly.
A large number of outcasts walked at the front of the procession, and the thieves rode horses, bows and arrows, or carried various blades in their hands, staring at the outcasts in front of them, ready to kill those who fled.
On the opposite side of these thieves, Liu Renyu saw the group of homeless people who were slowly moving over, and for some reason suddenly remembered a movie he had watched many years ago, that movie was called the "Resident Evil" series, and the picture of the zombie siege in it was so similar to this.
He muttered in his heart for a while, then looked around and said, "General Liu, General Wei, Zhujun, what do you think of the combat strength of this gang of thieves?" ”
To tell the truth, Liu Wuguo was a little afraid when he saw so many thieves coming around, because his own number was inevitably too small, and there were tens of thousands of thieves.
But he found that Liu Renyu and his generals were all calm and relaxed, as if it was not the enemy who was besieging them, so he felt that if he said that he was a little scared in his heart, would it seem that he was too bold, so Liu Wuguo pretended to be calm and said: "Although there are many people, but the formation is scattered, and the combat power is not strong. ”
"Big brother, what you said is really good!" Liu Renyu applauded and exclaimed.
Wei Zhongyi, who had been promoted to guerrilla general, saw that his brother-in-law had been praised by Liu Renyu, and naturally his face was also bright and proud.
The generals of the Jingbianbao Army knew that Liu Wuguo was Liu Renyu's brother-in-law, so they also praised Liu Wuguo a few words.
"Big brother, General Wei, all the gentlemen, we are all cavalry, if we join forces and go all out to kill the thieves, we can naturally win in one battle, but if we rush to kill the past, it will inevitably hurt the homeless, I can't bear to hurt the homeless, so I decided to bombard the real thieves in the rear with cannons first, and then march into the army to kill, I don't know the eldest brother, General Wei, what do you think of my plan?" Liu Renyu asked.
"Dashuai's plan is very good, so let's do it." The generals replied in unison.
