Chapter 0424: The Battle of the Border Pass [20]
In the end, there were more than 90,000 people in the Wudou Mi Sect, except for the three elders who escaped with more than 40 masters of all grades and more than 13,000 remnants, the rest of the nearly 80,000 troops were all killed. Turned the entire lower left village into a sea of blood. Fortunately, the villagers in the village were all driven out of the village by the Wudou Mi Sect before, otherwise it was very likely that these villagers would be injured by mistake. Luo Yunxiao is not a butcher who kills innocents indiscriminately, he will never do this kind of unconscionable thing. In this way, he also has to thank the Wudou Mi Sect for driving away all the innocent villagers in advance, so that he can kill all the ghosts, snakes, and gods here to his heart's content.
And at this time, someone will definitely stand on the height of morality and begin to deeply condemn Luo Yunxiao: "Such a killing is against the way of chivalry, and it will be punished by God." Luo Yunxiao, it's too cruel and bloody for you to do this! ”
Then our protagonist Luo Yunxiao, let me answer you with a modern person's train of thought: "This Wudoumi Sect is a cult in this era, they specialize in spreading some evil doctrines that violate ethics, bewitching and instigating the vast number of ignorant people, and finally completely control and imprison them, making them soulless walking corpses."
The greatest skill of a cult like Wudoumi is to demagogue people and lead people into their myths and unable to extricate themselves. Once they accept their cult teachings and fall into the evil myths, they basically can't turn back. ”
Luo Yunxiao naturally wanted to release them, but once they were released, they would definitely return to the Wudou Rice Sect again. This is actually helping the Five Doumi Sect to improve their vitality and combat power. On the contrary, it will add more trouble to yourself in the future.
In the same way, it is still quite dangerous to capture them as prisoners. The minds of these followers are basically stubborn, and it is difficult to convert them again. Capturing them is a burden to oneself and an element of instability in one's ranks. If they don't turn their minds around, but they instigate a group of people, it will be very bad. For the sake of insurance, the only way to kill them all is to kill them all, which is also a last resort.
In this day and age, if there is such a killing, it may be called a butcher and a murderer. But when you come to ancient times, it is not strange, it has become a lot more normal, at most you will say that you are more ferocious, vicious, and despicable, and that's it.
Luo Yunxiao eliminated the enemy situation of the Five Dou Mi Sect in one day. Now as long as he takes down Jin Shiyang, the chameleon, then the entire border can completely return to its former peace. At least in the 2 or 3 years of the former Qin, it will not go south again. In this way, Luo Yunxiao was able to free up his hands and began to rectify several prefectures and counties around Jiaozhou County, such as Guangzhou County, Jiangzhou County, and Yizhou County. Luo Yunxiao decided to first put these three states and counties into his sphere of influence. Once you become bigger and stronger, you will have the capital to call the Eastern Jin Dynasty court.
But of course, this is a relatively long process, you can't eat a fat person in one bite, and the Great Wall can't be built in a day. Therefore, it is still necessary to take one step at a time and move forward steadily, so that you will have the opportunity to achieve your dreams.
After the battle of the border pass, the next thing Luo Yunxiao had to do was to first lay the cornerstone of Jiaozhou County more solidly, and then expand to the layman, and the three targets he locked were the surrounding Jiangzhou County, Guangzhou County and Yizhou County.
Back in Lingshui City, Luo Yunxiao was not in a hurry at all. Those scouts had already passed Jin Shiyang and their movements back. This guy is also well-behaved, and he really hurried towards the west gate with one mind, he wanted to take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, prepare to take the west gate, and insert a fierce knife in his back.
However, his line of thinking was entirely based on his own imagination. All he could think about was Luo Yunxiao's men and horses tossing at both ends, exhausted. But what about the facts? The alarms at the north and south gates have long been lifted. At present, Simon has added 1 division to the original foundation, plus 1,800 sharpshooters. It can be said that the heavy troops are pressing, just waiting for the people of their earth-shattering mountain villa to throw themselves into the net.
When Jin Shiyang led more than 40,000 physically and mentally exhausted soldiers, it took four and a half days to arrive outside the West Gate ahead of schedule. He looked up at the top of the city, and sure enough, it was empty, except for a limited number of people on duty, there was no one else in sight. It seems that the other party's deployment is consistent with their own ideas, they have arranged heavy troops at the north and south gates, and the west gate is naturally empty, this is an excellent opportunity to attack!
Jin Shiyang turned his head and said to the generals behind him: "Brothers, do you see it, the other party's brigade is busy fighting on the north and south fronts, and there is no ability to take care of this West Gate anymore." So let's go in now, give them a fatal blow, and capture Luo Yunxiao alive, this person is our cornucopia! All right! Now let's go and rush to the city! ”
More than 40,000 people rushed to the west gate, and the light cavalry army that rushed to the front was already wiped out when they stormed the southern exit. And the fast cavalry also lost a part, and now there are only more than 3,000 horsemen left} as fast as lightning to the distance point of 100 zhang.
But where did they think that this was a ghost gate, and this was the main gate to enter the Hades Palace. With the roar of thunder and the lightning shone brightly, after dozens of loud noises, I saw that a large number of fast cavalry troops rushing to the front had fallen, as many as 3 or 4 hundred people.
What's even more tragic is that with a crisp "pop" sound, the bullet swept across the entire land, this fast cavalry is not an iron cavalry, they are only equipped with a pair of leather armor, and the horse under the crotch is not even equipped with anything. Bullets may be a little difficult to deal with the Iron Cavalry, but against these Fast Cavalry, it becomes much easier. Basically, 3 or 4 shots can hit a fast cavalry. In the first round of shooting alone, more than 500 fast cavalrymen fell under the bullets.
When they rushed to a distance of 60 zhang, the second round of shelling, the third round of gunfire began again. Soon, less than 800 of the 3,000-odd fast cavalry were still on horseback. If you rush forward, all the 800 fast cavalry will be reimbursed.
Jin Shiyang hurriedly beckoned to retreat, but the order to retreat was still too late. With another volley of guns, except for the infantry who rushed behind, there were no damage, and the retreating fast cavalry finally escaped from the ascension to the sky, and only more than 300 horsemen remained.
