Chapter 327: Captive
The generals of Jinghu seem to have seen a farce that has been rehearsed a long time ago.
The bandits all over the mountain, scattered in the valley, carrying large bags and small bags on their backs, climbed up the mountains on both sides in a panic, as if they were running for their lives.
At this time, they finally understood the intention of Changsun Hong to block the valley with a small number of ghost soldiers, but use a large number of soldiers to go up the mountain.
This means that the door is to be closed and beaten by the dog, and no one will be allowed to escape.
On the hillsides on both sides, the barbarians were condescending, waiting for the crossbow in their hands, firing arrow by arrow, the aim was very high, and the crossbow arrows were like having eyes, one by one.
In the valley in the front, no one dared to step on a ground of blood and stumps to pounce up, and dozens of human lives were bloodily placed under the Mo knife, which had already frightened the bandits.
The driving horses, the ghost soldiers blocking the road, and the brute soldiers standing on the mountain and shooting indiscriminately, combined into a set of human life harvesters, interlocking, although the number of people is small, but the operation is efficient, and the bandits in the valley are like groups of flies in groups of three or five, headless and brainless.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before they are cleaned up.
The people of Jinghu had nothing to do with their knives, standing behind, and really responded to the words of Changsun Hong.
"Watch me kill the enemy!"
The words are still in my ears, and I am loud and clear.
Liu Cheng looked left and right, shrugged his shoulders uneasily, and whispered to Gao Gao: "General Gao, look, how many soldiers do we need to fight this battle?" ”
Gundam stared at the ghost pawn in front of him, and was marveling at the sharpness of the Mo knife, listening to Liu Cheng's question, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and replied with a little blush: "This...... If you just kill this gang of thieves, a thousand people will be enough, but if you want to destroy them all, I am afraid that it will be doubled and two thousand people can achieve it. ”
After thinking about it, he added: "We have to increase the cavalry, otherwise the thieves will run out of the valley and flee in all directions, and it will be difficult to chase if there are fewer horses." ”
Liu Cheng licked his mouth and felt the same way.
If you change to any one of the generals in Jinghu to command this battle, and choose the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan envoy, you will also win, after all, the other party is just thieves and bandits under the armor and equipment, compared with the officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is morale or training equipment level, it is much worse.
But it is difficult to fight the current situation of the Shimen Fan barbarians, which is like killing chickens and dogs.
Fighting to the death on the battlefield, it is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to annihilate completely.
Thousands of troops and horses scattered and fled, chasing one by one, where to take care of it, there were far more escapes than killing.
The valley is an advantage, but to turn it into a victory, it depends on the art and means of the commander.
Liu Quanquan asked himself, if he didn't have a barbarian soldier, it might not be easy for him to reach the height that Changsun Hong had already achieved.
Half an hour later, in the drizzle, the battle was over.
Of the more than 1,000 mountain bandits, about 400 of whom survived, all stripped of their shirts and tied up in strings one by one with the untied straps of their clothes, knelt in the wet mud, hung their heads and trembled.
The leaders were identified, and there were about a dozen of them, and they were pulled out, and in front of everyone, their heads were cut off on the spot.
Although the generals of Jinghu did not speak, they were all a little surprised, because these heads, which should not have been cut off here, were pulled back, and it was all merit to ask for rewards for meritorious service.
Changsun Hong seemed to see through their thoughts, and just explained lightly.
"These thieves have to be sent to Dali to do hard labor, and if there is a leader, it is not easy to manage, and they are killed in public, which is a warning to the survivors, and also removes some future troubles."
"As for merit." He smiled: "I don't look down on the merits of killing bandits, so take your head back, pickle it in lime and send it to the capital, and count it as your merit." ”
The clouds are light and the wind is light, and I don't think about it, but it falls in the ears of everyone in Jinghu, but it is not ordinary.
It is too rare for military generals not to value merit.
Everyone fights for life and death, fighting for their lives, what is the picture, isn't it glory, wealth, fame and fortune? The eldest grandson Hong said lightly.
What the hell did he think? What is he trying to do?
The smarter ones have already thought about it here, such as Liu Quan, whose eyes kept rolling around the captives and the heads of a place.
After watching for a while, and then turning his gaze to the fierce barbarians, a battle was fought, the casualties of the barbarians were almost negligible, the heavy armor weapons and exquisite fighting skills turned this battle into a slaughter show, what is even more staggering is that the barbarians after the battle are still in good spirits, no one is noisy and noisy, maintain a silent posture, stand in a queue, and form a majestic army.
Not arrogant, not impatient, not impatient, such a soldier, such an army, is what every general dreams of.
How did you do it?
"Let's go back, a team of 100 will be delayed, a team of 100 will open the way, and the rest will be divided into a team of 10 people, and the prisoners will be escorted in between."
After explaining to the chief of the Xiao family who came out of the dock fort, the eldest grandson Hong ordered to return to the division, at this time the sky began to clear, and the sun that emerged from the clouds after the rain shed a piece of sunlight, shining on the bloodstained iron armor, the red was extremely dazzling.
The Xuanjia soldiers marched forward with their might, and the military power was monstrous. A team of 500 people is as invincible as 5,000 men.
The people of Jinghu are like a group of supporting characters, after watching a big play performed by the protagonists, and then following behind the protagonists, they don't know what to do, and they turn back towards Gongzhou Mansion with mixed feelings.
It was not until this moment that their hearts were truly shocked and impacted.
Jinghu soldiers and horses have always been the best in the world, strong generals emerge in endlessly, fight with the Jin, fight with the Mongols, fierce battles continue, compared with Sichuan, they come over, in fact, there is a sense of superiority in their hearts.
Jinghu led the military officers into Sichuan, even if it is not the best, at least it is in the forefront.
Such a mentality was shattered today.
They looked at Changsun Hong's gaze and began to look up.
The cuteness of military generals compared to literati is that they only admire the strong, and they admire it, without sourness.
The eldest grandson Hong is stronger than them, they are consciously convinced, and the barbarian soldiers are more powerful than the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are also sincerely admired.
Liu Quan has already decided in his heart that he will talk to Changsun Hongpan when he goes back, and he is willing to go to his command and become a general with him, oh, no, it is okay to be a personal general, as long as he can learn his methods of training, he can do anything.
He was on a horse, and he wanted to ask the opinions of the others, but seeing that they looked thoughtful, he felt that it was probably not appropriate to ask, and it was better to bury this kind of thing in his heart.
On the way, the receivers sent by Wang Kui followed ten miles outside the city of Gongzhou Mansion, collected the heads in the sacks, and did not care about the prisoners, and entered the city with a smile.
The group of captives, escorted by the barbarians, turned a corner outside the city, and without even entering the city gates, went in the other direction.
This is inconsistent with the regulations of the imperial court, the army will win, and the captives will be escorted back, and according to the rules, they must be handed over to the government to deal with, and they are not allowed to make decisions without authorization.
This opened the eyes of the generals in Jinghu again, and they looked at each other, feeling that Changsun Hong was here, and it seemed that he was about the same as Wang Kui's power.
In their hearts, their impression of Changsun Hong has been raised by another level.
