Chapter 483: The King of Grass Heads Everywhere
A trumpet sounded, Su Hong led more than 1,000 people to kill the east of the city, and the Jin Xuedi people who were killed and defeated in the west of the city were quickly broken through the city gate by Su Hong and Bai He and entered the city.
Executive Kadčić burst into a rage and cursed hysterically:
"These filthy bed bugs, all of them deserve to die!"
At this time, Cheeks said in a panic:
"My lord, this group of rebels who attacked us is very different from the past, the combat effectiveness is far above us, the west of the city has been lost, the south of the city has been attacked by mobs, and the east of the city is almost unable to hold on, we will soon be killed by them, let's retreat!"
"Damn it, then get out of here!"
"Yes!"
Chicks quickly brought a horse to Kadčić and led his cavalry to try to break through the north gate.
Seeing this, Bai Liyan said to Fang Liang:
"Look, they fail very quickly."
Fang Liang was still shocked by the sudden reversal of the battle situation, and he didn't understand how the Jin Xuedi people were defeated:
"How did you do it, there are only more than 2,000 of you."
Bai Liyan pointed to his head and said:
"Yes, we only have more than 2,000 people, but we have more here than them, you know, you need to rely on your brains to fight a war."
"Then why don't you seal the north gate and let their cavalry escape! If they come back with reinforcements, you'll still be badly hit. ”
"No, it won't. Do you think that with only a few hundred or even thousands of cavalry, you can besiege a city guarded by tens of thousands of people? When my people have entered the city, will they come out and kill them? Besides, I can't see such a glaring flaw. ”
"Your men are all in battle, and you simply don't have the strength to stop them."
"Yes, I really don't have any more troops, unless we go up. But obviously, you and your men are fundamentally good at fighting, let alone riding them. ”
"And how do you stop them?" Fang Liang asked.
"There are many ways to kill people, and not every time you have to use someone to kill!" Bai Liyan patted Fang Liang's shoulder and said, "You still have a lot to learn, let's go, prepare to take over the camp." ”
"Wait!" Fang Liang is colorful.
"What else?"
"Are the armies of the Central Plains as interested as you?"
"Not all of them, otherwise your fathers wouldn't have been caught here!"
"Yes...... I should have thought of it. ”
The Xian army quickly defeated the Jinxuedi people, the east gate and the south gate fell one after another, and Kadechiqi, who fled from the north gate, fled north with hundreds of people in a panic.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
Cheeks shouted loudly, quickly turned over and dismounted, only to see the bloated Kadčić fall headlong on his horse, his face covered in blood, and the horse was crushed and unable to move. There were tripping ropes everywhere, and hundreds of people were tripped.
"My lord, how are you, my lord!"
The administrator spurted out a mouthful of blood and said inarticulately:
"Help, save ...... Help me......"
Cheeks pulled the magistrate out from under his horse, only to find that he had a broken leg, the iron armor on his chest was badly dented, and his ribs were almost certainly broken. Cheeks tried to re-mount Kadčić on the horse, but tried several times without success.
"General, the administrator is no more, let's go!"
The soldier said anxiously, and Cheeks reached out to measure his breath, and sure enough, he had lost his breath:
"What the hell, get out of here!"
Leaving behind Cadcizi's body, Cheeks quickly fled north with hundreds of remnants of the defeated general, fleeing all the way, encountering stumbling blocks along the way.
At dawn, the city walls fell, and the Xian army took control of the city. Bailiyan led the rest of the troops into the city from the west gate, and when he saw Jiang Jie and others, the city was in chaos.
"My lord, the remnants of the enemy in the city have been cleared."
"How many casualties?"
"Our army suffered more than 300 wounded, 19 killed, and none of them were seriously injured."
Hearing this number, Fang Liangmeng was stunned, 2,000 people were defeated by 5,000 people, and only more than 400 people were killed or wounded, which was undoubtedly unbelievable.
Bai Liyan said again at this time:
"How many casualties did the Minfu have?"
"There are 1,200 or 300 wounded, and more than 400 have died."
"Give priority to the treatment of the wounded of our army and strengthen the perimeter vigilance!"
"No!"
Bai Liyan was not surprised at all, the Xian army was well-trained to coerce each other, disciplined and organized, and was equipped with chain mail and auxiliary armor, and the organs were not easy to be severely injured, and did not hurt the arteries of the head and legs, which was not enough to be directly fatal.
On the other hand, the people are a rabble, without any experience in fighting and killing, and without the protection of armor, the casualties will definitely be not small. Jin Xuedi did not know the enemy's situation and did not know the tactics and tactics of the Xian army, so they rushed to the battle, and only regarded the Xian army as ordinary mountain bandits, and they were killed by surprise, which was the inevitable result.
As long as the strategy is right, it is possible to win more with less, and win big at a small cost.
The Jinxuedi people repaired temporary buildings of masonry and tents in the city, and corpses and stumps could be seen everywhere, and the blood quickly condensed into ice, leaving a red blood.
Su Hong came to the city with several people and reported the details:
"General, these people are all the leaders of the people of the Central Plains, and they are clamoring to see you."
"I won't see you for the time being, let Fang Liang come forward to explain it to them clearly, and grasp the situation between them and the neighborhood as soon as possible."
"No!"
On the way after leaving Heisai Lake, Bai Liyan carefully observed Fang Liang's party of 16 or 700 people, not counting women, the mentality of these Central Plains descendants is very complicated, and only the second generation of people have a firm will to resist, and there are only about six or seven percent of the second generation of people.
The others have been severely purged and enslaved, full of servility, weak will to resist, most have lost their sense of identity and belonging to the Central Plains culture, and it is difficult to expect them to participate in a killing with an uncertain future, and even betray the Xian army.
More than 20,000 descendants of the Central Plains are complex, each with a ghost, and there are countless grass-headed kings in troubled times, and it is necessary to maintain the authority and mystery of the high-level commander of the Xian army before it is incorporated and rectified, so as to deter lawbreakers.
explained in detail to Fang Liang, and Su Hong accompanied him to meet Qian Xiasheng, Kong Hua and others.
Kong Hua quickly looked at Fang Liang, and with the help of the firelight, he looked at Su Hong and the other Xian soldiers, and felt more and more that the team that attacked the Jin Xuedi people tonight was different from the previous rebels.
"You're their leader?" Kong Hua asked without any scruples, without the slightest hint of respect.
"It's not!"
Fang Liang denied, and Kong Hua said impatiently when he heard the news:
"It's not the leader who is here to do anything, let your leader come out and speak."
"The leader said, tomorrow morning, if you want to go home, you have to go home, the leader will give you fifteen days' rations and cotton clothes, and you are willing to leave the white-haired thief behind, the leader will never be embarrassed, but those who stay must obey orders."
"Hehe, why do we have more than 20,000 people to listen to him, without us, you can kill and enter the city!"
Kong Hua didn't buy it, and then Su Hong said sharply:
"Those who are willing to go go, those who are willing to stay stay, our leaders will never force it. But if you want to commit the following crimes, you also have to weigh whether you are qualified or not! ”
"Hey, just with you people, I'm afraid I can't do it!"
Kong Hua stretched out his hand to push, Su Hong stepped back, pulled out his horizontal knife and shouted:
"Brethren!"
"Yes!" The crowd will call out in unison.
"Those who dare to cause trouble will be killed!"
"Yes!"
Hundreds of people quickly assembled in formation, surrounded Kong Hua and others, and Qian Xiasheng hurriedly persuaded Kong Hua when he saw this:
"Brother, these people are not ordinary, they don't talk without delay, let's not touch each other."
"Damn, these are the only people they came into the city, afraid of what they do!" Kong Hua disagreed
"Brother, the white-haired thief said to kill him, he didn't blink his eyes, although there are many of us, but they are a group, we are not. A lot of them came from Sondia, and their hearts were not aligned, so they couldn't get them.
Didn't they also say it, don't force it to stay, it's a big deal that we'll break up with them tomorrow morning, and we'll do it alone. ”
"Okay, let's do it ourselves, and save them from their nests!"
The two discussed and quickly persuaded the other minor leaders.
"For the sake of killing the white-haired thieves together, I don't care about you. Early tomorrow morning, you go yours, we go ours, and no one owes anyone! ”
"That's what you said!" Su Hong warned, his tone was pressing.
"Why, they are all from the Central Plains, and they can't do it if they want to!" Kong Hua was fearless, and also showed off the captured long sword.
"Hmph, let's go!"
Leaving aside the words, Su Hong returned to the Xianjun garrison and reported the results of the negotiations to Baili Yan:
"General, these individuals are just a plate of loose sand, no wonder they haven't been successful for hundreds of years."
"It's all expected, just wait, tomorrow they will divide the food and weapons, and let the brothers collect the crossbows and crossbows that have been left behind, so that they don't take advantage of the loopholes."
"Subordinates obey!"
"In addition, the barbarian prostitute camp has been taken over by our army, and I have had people take over. Most of these women fall into their hands, and most of them will not end well, making it look like they will all be taken away tomorrow. ”
Su Hong was surprised when he heard the news, and said busily:
"If you don't trim it, you'll leave tomorrow?"
"You see, these are several topographical maps that Bai He has found from their administrator's room, and the general situation east of Posong Province is very clear, and they are also building a city three hundred miles east of this place, and their motives are unknown. Our army will continue to repair tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon it will set out on the road and march eastward to attack this place. Let these guys block the barbarian reinforcements in the western province for us first. ”
"What a plan!"
Su Hong praised it, and Fang Liang on the side said with a crying face:
"Isn't this battle fought in vain tonight!"
Bai Liyan looked at Fang Liang with a resolute gaze:
"If we take them in, we're the ones who are unlucky! What we need now is not to co-opt a group of unruly rabble, but to have dead men who can obey orders and are willing to die. Until they taste the bitterness and know what obedience is, they deserve to be unlucky!
My army here is not a bandit, not a bandit, not a butcher who only knows how to rob, what is required is absolute obedience, otherwise no one can live forever. You have also seen how we defeated 5,000 people, not only by brains, but by soldiers who obeyed orders!
Now the hour is not early, the battalions have strengthened their vigilance, taken turns to rest, and they are all dispersed! ”
Bai Liyan was very annoyed by the unreasonable troubles of Kong Hua, Qian Xiasheng and others, at least from the perspective of the thinking of the Central Plains people, they should know what gratitude is to be grateful.
But now it seems that the purge of civilization and the tyrannical rule of the Jinxuedi people have completely deprived them of their sense of identity with the Central Plains, and the result of forced co-optation will be counterproductive.
Just as Bai He and Sikong Nan feared, the Xian army was not absorbing them, but being absorbed by them, and this situation must not arise, and the core cohesion and independence of the Xian army must be maintained.
