Chapter 500: Base Area (3)
Once or twice a year, Jin Xuedi replenishes troops and supplies to the front line from the rear, in April and September, mainly in April. From Sondia in April, it was able to reach the front in August, in September, and in February.
The infantry all rode north, or rode unicorn horses carrying supplies, and there were a large number of Jin Xuedi people accompanying them, and the roads in the no-man's land along the way were not smooth, and the overall speed of the march was not very fast, and it took four months to six months to reach the road. At the same time, 200,000 or 300,000 troops were replenished at a time, and wounded soldiers, old soldiers, generals, and vacant unicorns were brought back from the north.
This time there was a riot in Posong Province, the mob went into the mountains and joined the rebels, and the Jinxuedi people took the opportunity to recruit north, and the whole battle was opened from north to south, and hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to hug the mountains and fields from west to east.
It's been two days since returning to the camp, and heavy rain has turned the camp beyond recognition. The simple shack does not shelter from the wind or rain, and the heavy rain outside, and the light rain in the shack, is at best a psychological comfort.
Lu Gao, Sikong Nan and others were all nested in the grass hut, ticking and leaking water, and their morale was very depressed.
"General, you didn't run into any trouble on the way."
Sikong Nan handed over a glass of sour fruit wine, and it was very choking to drink.
"No, but I found signs of Jin Xuedi's troop transfer, and they are afraid that they will use troops recently."
"So, the general has met them?" Lu Gao hurriedly asked.
"No, but it's just a little bit. What about you, what's the situation? ”
"The last general was about to say this." Lu Gao straightened his expression and said: "Four days ago, forty miles east of our army's camp, we found 3,000 Jinxuedi people, walking south through the woods, they did not take the main road, but only took the small road, and almost ran into our army's camp. In the end, the general thought that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and that he should evacuate as soon as possible to avoid encirclement and suppression. ”
"Yes, their sieves are getting thinner and thinner, and if we do it a few more times, we will be discovered by them sooner or later."
As she spoke, Bai Liyan took out the map, picked up the candle and illuminated it and said:
"When I went to Chu Bigon, I found lakes and flat land, and it is not a problem to hide 1200,000 people."
Su Hong was very excited when he heard the news:
"Well, if you can hide one or two hundred thousand people in this mountain, you will have a foundation in the future."
"Don't worry, you can hide 200,000 people, but you don't have so much land to feed 200,000 people, and all the food and clothing have to be done from outside, and it will be a big problem for a long time."
"But we only have 12,000 or 3,000 people, which should be enough."
Su Hong was puzzled, and Sikong Nan took over and said:
"In the entire two provinces outside the Guan, there are 15.6 million people from the Central Plains, and I am afraid that there may be more specific details, and the general will not just want to seek a land of 10,000 or 20,000 people."
"What Brother Sikong said is extremely true, 15.6 million people, even if it is counted as half of men and half of women, there are 800,000 men. We only need to equip a force and hold the supply routes to the north and south, and the tide of battle will be in our favor and extremely unfavorable to them. ”
The Jin Xuedi people's battle line is too long, the elite army is pressed on the front line, more than 7,000 miles away from the rear, if you keep fighting to the north, hit the front line of the city, that is 9,000 miles, no matter how strong the unicorn plug-in, it can't withstand the consumption of the war, and the internal economic pressure, the people's livelihood is in difficulty, and there is always a time when it is overstretched, so at this time its main army can not withdraw at all.
However, the local security forces were poorly equipped and undertrained, and the ability of the generals was far inferior to that of the front-line generals, and fighting on the periphery far away from Posong Province was extremely beneficial to the Xian army.
The rain is dripping non-stop, the grain and grass are in the grain hoard, the bottom of the grain hoard is tamped with a soil platform, and the top is covered with a straw canopy to prevent rain, the rainy day is not conducive to the transfer of grain and grass, and continue to wait for the upcoming sweep day by day is imminent.
Two days later, Bailiyan finally decided that Jiang Jie would lead the way, and Su Hong, Sikong Nan, and Lu Gao would lead their troops to take women and prisoners, totaling more than 8,000 people, with enough rations for one month, and go to the bottom of the valley to settle down.
On the third day after Jiang Jie and the others set off, the situation changed subtly:
"General, the scouts have come to report that a detachment of men and horses has been found on the south bank of the lake, and it is coming towards our camp."
Bai He said in detail, and Bai Liyan wondered:
"Not from Jinxuedi?"
"No, it's like a scurrying mob."
"Can a mob travel hundreds of miles from Po Song Province to get here? It's also too far, how many of them are there? ”
"I can't see clearly, and there is no positive shape, but there are two or three hundred people."
"Go, call the men and horses above the light, let me quietly surround me from the left and right, go and don't be exposed, you order another two hundred people to follow me to take a look, take the whistle as a signal, and act when the opportunity arises."
"The last general obeys!"
In a moment, Fang Bright gathered men and horses, attacked from the east and west, Bailiyan took two hundred people, rode to the south of Walmars Lake, walked five miles, and in the telescope it could be seen that three miles in front of a handful of people were clustered together, there must be four or five hundred, some on horseback, some walking. Taking advantage of the rain to stop, he was gobbling up jerky.
"General, this is the group." Bai He pointed and said.
"It looks like they were killed and fled, but it definitely won't be a mob from Po Song Province, and the mob can't escape here at all. It must have been the rebels from the south, and it was several groups of rebels from different hills, who were killed and defeated and joined forces. ”
"In this case, wouldn't the pursuers bite them and run to the north, and let them flee north, they will surely break into my camp."
"Let's go and see how it goes."
urged the crotch to get off the war horse, and Baili Yan stepped forward.
Seeing that someone was approaching, the group of four or five hundred people immediately became alert. Qian Xiasheng pointed with a long sword and said:
"Kong Hua, look, someone from the north is coming!".
Kong Hua was shocked:
"Damn, it's a white-haired thief, or some other way."
"It's not a white-haired thief, it should be a rebel."
When Qian Xiasheng spoke, Bailiyan had already come to the front. Kong Hua saw that there were only about 200 people, so he became arrogant:
"There aren't many of them, let the brothers copy the guys!"
"Kong Hua, they are all cavalry, we finally escaped, it's better not to make any extraneous branches."
"What are you afraid of, there are so many of us, and there are a lot of horseback riding."
"But Jiang Gui's people won't listen to us." Qian Xiasheng said worriedly.
"If we do, they won't be able to help us."
Kong Hua made a noise and stepped forward to block Bailiyan's way:
"Hey, where did you come from, let your leaders come out and talk."
When Bai He heard the news, he only felt familiar, but when he looked at it, he felt even more familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it was the group of people who stood on the hill when they attacked the city wall last year. Thinking of this, Bai Heyan whispered:
"General, this guy is the Kong Hua from the last time we attacked the city wall, I didn't expect to meet here today."
"Is that the guy they are clamoring to stand on their own?"
"Yes, it's them, I didn't expect to run so far."
Kong Hua saw that the two of them chattered for a long time, and they didn't take him seriously at all, and they were already full of fire in their hearts, and they were even more unhappy at this time:
"Hey, if you're done, hurry up and come out to speak."
When the words fell, Bai Liyan immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"You are Kong Hua?"
Kong Hua was stunned in his heart, looked up and down, and Baili Yan didn't see anything unusual, but the chain mail on his body made people confused.
"Who are you, how do you know what my name is?"
"Hehe......" Bai Liyan sneered: "Our army attacked the city wall last year and rescued you, and there were more than 18,000 people under your command at that time, how did you get this field now, your people and horses, you won't be frightened by thousands of white-haired thieves." ”
Bai Liyan was poking Kong Hua's sore spot when he spoke, thinking that once upon a time there were a few days, he was also a big boss above 10,000 people, and he responded to every call, but today he was like a lost dog who was struggling to breathe, and he was poked in the backbone by Baili Yan, and his heart was naturally very unhappy. His face was gloomy, holding the sword in his hand, still very arrogant:
"It's you, I lost some people, but aren't you any better? Anyway, you had two or three thousand people at the beginning, but now there are more than two hundred people left, how can you be qualified to teach me? If you know each other, let the horse out obediently, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite, fence me off! ”
With a wave of his hand, more than 100 people quickly surrounded him, and at this time, Jiang Gui and others rode up to him and asked:
"Kong Hua, what kind of people are they, they don't look good."
"How do you forget, there was a group of men who took down our camp last year, and they were them."
"How are they?" Jiang Gui was taken aback and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Don't you see, there are two hundred war horses under their crotch, and with horses, we can't go anywhere. How's that, them together! ”
"Okay, let's do it together!"
The two of them decided, Jiang Gui and the others went forward together, Bailiyan did not move like a mountain, and said coldly:
"Look at you, what is the difference between you and bandits and bandits, it is a group of rabble who have fallen into the grass, it has only been a few days, tens of thousands of people have been defeated by you, and now the catastrophe is coming and you don't know how to die, I see that you don't see the coffin and don't cry!"
"I don't think you're tired of living, and I don't look at how many of you or how many of us! Acquaintances dismount immediately, otherwise, grandpa's spear will pick you! ”
Jiang Gui threatened, and Bailiyan sneered:
"If there are many people, you can play tricks, that's good, you want to practice, right, this general will accompany you to the bottom today. Come on, blow the whistle! ”
"No!"
The old pawn immediately blew the copper whistle, and Fang Liang's men and horses, who had already been ambushed around, surrounded them from the left and right, and Kong Hua, Jiang Gui, Qian Xiasheng and others were surrounded in a blink of an eye.
"This ......" Kong Hua was taken aback when he saw the fierce situation, and his face was colorless.
At this time, Baili Yan sneered and said:
"There are a lot of people, right, now there are more of you, or are there more of us, can you see it!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Gui knelt down with a snap:
"This leader spares his life, we are also desperate and lost our minds, and we fell into Kong Hua's evil deeds, and I ask the leader to ignore the villain, raise his hand and let us go......"
Jiang Gui betrayed Kong Hua in a blink of an eye, and the angry Kong Hua burst his liver and lungs and scolded his mother:
"Damn, Jiang Gui, you're not a thing!"
"Don't rely on people, it's clearly your attention!"
"Didn't you agree to divide the horses too!"
Kong Hua took a bite back, who would have expected Jiang Gui to deny it:
"You want someone's horse, I don't have it."
"Okay, you bastard, I'll kill you right now!"
Kong Hua stabbed Jiang Gui with a sword, and before he could stab it, Bai Liyan raised his hand to be an archer crossbow, and the divine accuracy hit Kong Hua's neck, and a sharp pain struck, Kong Hua was stunned, and looked at the person who shot the arrow immediately, as his breathing became more and more rapid, he didn't understand until he died, what happened to this world.
