"Hey! I'm so dizzy! I didn't expect that those shafters would dare to rebel. ”

On the tenth day of the first month of February, under the deliberate indulgence of Wang Qi and others, the news of the Jiaozhi rebellion reached Xue Jue.

As a veteran of Jiaozhou for a long time, Xue Jue knows very well that the contradictions between the natives of Jiaozhou and the Dongwu government are very deep. The whole Jiaozhou can be described as dry firewood everywhere. The strength of the remnants of the Lu Wang Party is actually not large, whether it is his own army to go back or wait for Jianye to send more troops, it is not difficult to pacify it. But the annoyance lies in the annoyance, if this small rebellion cannot be suppressed as soon as possible. The other large indigenous tribes in Jiaozhou will be encouraged, and then they will rebel. At that time, the situation in the entire Jiaozhou will be completely eroded.

So, there was no choice. It is necessary to return to the division to quell the rebellion. And be quick!

However, if you want to return to the division to quell the rebellion, not to mention that withdrawing troops in front of the enemy is a headache for any commander, the key is: how many troops to send back? The rare enemy general fainted and gave up Bengu County, and such a large tin mine had just arrived. If you give up, is there a chance to get it back next time?

Besides, the current emperor of Jianye, who wiped out the three clans of ministers at every turn, is not so easy to get along with. Originally, Sun Hao's instruction to Xue Yu was to attack Nanzhong. As a result, you just got off to a good start and immediately went back to counterinsurgency? How do you do things?

"Everyone, how to deal with the Jiaozhou rebellion, please teach me?"

In Bengu County, Xue Jue, who was already sick, was even more depressed at this time. And Sun Qian and others, who came from the two counties in the rear to hold a meeting, had strange faces.

"Envoy, today's plan, our army can only divide the troops."

"Oh, does Zigui mean to divide a part of the troops back to the division to quell the rebellion?"

"Yes, the envoy, the Marquis of Yong'an, all the officials. Wu Jia and the others are exiles, how many families can they have? Therefore, if you want to make you trust, please allocate 5,000 elites to the last general, and the last general will go down smoothly along the Yuanshui, and it can be pacified within half a month. ”

"Zigui is strong! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections? ”

"Hehe, if the sub-rules go, they will definitely be able to calm the hustle and bustle, and the thief chief will be in his hands. Haha, lie to you, everyone, if Tao is not bad as expected, at this time, there is no army of Shu thieves in front of our army. On the contrary, they have moved to the two counties of Bengu and Xisui, and are waiting for our army to divide and retreat. ”

"Tao Shiying, when is it, there is no shape there! Well, you said that Wang Kongshuo had already moved behind our army at this time, do you have credentials? ”

"No, but if the last general leads the troops, he will definitely do it." Tao Huang, who was reprimanded by Xue Jue, put away his usual cynical face, and walked to Yutu with a serious expression: "Everyone, please see, in the west of Bengu County, the nearest county seat is four hundred miles away. Along the way, there are deep mountains and old forests. Why does this Wang Kong Shuo want to stick to these places? What's the point of holding this mountain? However, he could not break away too far from our army, and the only way was to take advantage of the fact that the Wudang Flying Army was good at crossing mountains and mountains to penetrate into the rear of our army. There is no doubt that Wu Jia and others rebelled in Jiaozhi, and they must have been instructed by Wang Kongshuo. is to force our army to return to the division, and he is so good that he intercepts and kills halfway! ”

"Hahahaha~~~ Before coming to Jiaozhou, Uncle Jia repeatedly praised Shiying in front of him, saying that Shiying was resourceful and unparalleled. But today, it seems that Shiying is not up to standard. Ladies and gentlemen, if, as Shiying said, Wang Kongshuo moved the army to the rear of Bengu County of our army. Didn't his troops happen to be between the three lines of Bengu, Xisui, and Jincheng, and were surrounded by our army on three sides? Which commander-in-chief would make such a mistake? ”

What Ji He said is generally true. But in my Jiaozhou, it is different from this Nanzhong. It is full of deep mountains and old forests, and there are no roads everywhere, but there are also roads everywhere. Even if the 45,000 people of our army know that the enemy has entered the three counties, they may not be able to find it, and they can't stop it if they do! If he is the commander of the Shu army in the future, he will definitely do this. ”

"This ......"

"Okay, okay, Shiying, you said that our army might be intercepted when we divide our troops back to the division, so what do you say we should do?"

"Envoy, the rebellion involving Quanzhou in the past few years has just been quelled, and the chieftains of all over the country are actually extremely dissatisfied with my Great Wu. After years of war, the Han people in Jiaozhou have not yet recovered their breath. The indigenous people of Jiaozhou are also living in difficulty...... It can be said that it is fundamentally wrong for the whole division to send troops to Nanzhong under the extremely unstable situation in Jiaozhou. The current rebellion in Cochin is an opportunity to correct this mistake. So the last general suggested that the whole army retreat! ”

Tao Huang's words, Xue Jue felt very reasonable after listening to them. However, he was unable to carry it out. Because, the whole division of the Jiaozhou Corps attacked Nanzhong, which was Sun Hao's meaning.

"Hey, Shiying, there are some things, when you sit in the position of the official in the future, you will know what it means to be involuntarily. Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to say much about it now. Zigui, this official gives you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and you immediately take them down the river from Yuanshui and turn back to quell the rebellion! ”

"No!"

"Yong'an Hou, there is still the possibility that the enemy moved to the rear of our army that Shiying said just now. So when you go back, it's best to follow Zigui's army. ”

"Good."

……

At noon on the 10th day of the second lunar month, Xiu Ze led 10,000 Jiaozhou troops from Bengu County, and after coming to the edge of Yuanshui, the whole army boarded the ship and began to march towards Jiaozhi.

Yuanshui is not as good as the Yangtze River, because the water surface is narrow, and the water depth is not enough. Therefore, it is not navigable at night in this era. So, after an afternoon of travel, the fleet stopped at a shallow spot on relatively gentle ground. Xiu ordered some of the soldiers to go ashore and set up barracks to guard the barracks.

At this time, the unitary time has arrived, and the sun sets very early in winter. According to the estimates of the Xiu Rule, it will take about half an hour for the army to complete the camp arrangement, and at that time, the sun is almost setting.

This is of course the most dangerous time, and this is of course also the time when Wang Ji makes a move.

A feather arrow flew abruptly from the woods on the shore, and in a few moments, countless feathered arrows with white trails rose from the dark green primeval forest. In the brilliant red light of the sunset, it is like countless egrets swooping down from the sky towards the water.

"Enemy attack!"

"Array!"

"Light the wolf smoke and warn the three cities!"

Officers at all levels of the Jiaozhou Army quickly gave the most correct instructions. But at this time, the Jiaozhou army was at its weakest: some soldiers were building barracks, some soldiers were guarding a little further away from the riverbank, and some soldiers were still on the boat to control the boat.

And in the depths of the dense forest on both sides, with a shout, countless Han soldiers dressed in leather armor and camouflaged with leaves all over their bodies have been killed from all corners of the woods.

"Don't build, fight on your own! Just kill the enemy! ”

"Quickly get close to the river bank and shoot rockets at enemy ships in the water!"

"Huh~~~!"

With the order of the commander of the Han army, Ji Han's soldiers marched forward bravely, and at this time, the Han army, what Wu, Shi, Qu and other formations were all chaotic. Anyway, as long as the other party doesn't have a wreath of leaves on his head or anything, he will all slash through with a knife.

It stands to reason that the Jiaozhou Army, as an army that has been fighting in the jungle for many years, is not weak in combat effectiveness. But the tragedy was miserable, and the Jiaozhou Army at this time was divided into several parts. And because the sun is gradually sinking in the west, and the light is getting dimmer and dimmer, it has become extremely inconvenient to command the banner or something. The control of senior officers over the troops has become incalculable, and more often only middle and lower-ranking officers at all levels can lead the soldiers around them to fight separately.

Wang Ji's army totaled 15,000 men, and he only put 3,000 men on the east bank of Yuanshui to lead the way, while on the west bank, a full 12,000 people launched a thunderous blow: anyway, launching rockets from any side of the river to the shore could achieve the goal of completely annihilating the opponent. However, the Jiaozhou Army was unable to quickly adjust the allocation of troops for many reasons. As a result, the troops of the Jiaozhou army on the west bank of Yuanshui were beaten back again and again, and soon Ji Han's army approached the riverbank.

"Archers step forward and fire rockets at enemy ships in the river!"

"Huh~~~!"

"Why is there so much army of this Shu thief? Won't they reserve a part of their army to intercept our reinforcements on the periphery? ”

In the middle of the Yuanshui, above the tallest warship of the side. Watching the soldiers with good combat strength on their side were defeated and retreated because of their numerical disadvantage. Xiu Ze simply gave up his efforts in this regard when he was desperate to order the movement of troops, and the number of troops responding to the flag was getting smaller and smaller. But after carefully observing the situation on the battlefield, he found a problem: Ji Han's attack this time was definitely not more than 10,000 troops. This means that the whole division of the Nanzhong Army is coming.

The soldiers in the south are all here, so there are no alert troops on the periphery. At this time, as long as the more than 30,000 troops in the three counties outside know the situation here, and then send reinforcements together?

"Someone's coming!"

"Please show the general!"

"It's getting late, don't expect the troops below to answer the flag. All went down and gave orders one by one. First, the Shu thieves are desperate, as long as we hold on for one night, we can wipe out all the Shu thieves after our reinforcements come! Second, in addition to continuing to ignite the wolf smoke, organize our archers and fire rockets into the forest behind the enemy troops! I want the rest of my troops to see the situation here, and when the time comes, I will see how Wang Qi Lao'er responds! ”
