Chapter 45: Annihilation

Xiao Wang's use of soldiers is like playing a big game of chess, he knows that the barbarians despise the wind army, and then uses the psychology of the other party's wolves and sheep to lead the other party into the trap he has set in advance.

He doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place at all, and even the border pass as important as Wuguan can be abandoned without hesitation.

The importance of Wuguan is not only in the Wind Army, but in the eyes of the barbarians, it is also the gateway to invade the Wind Country.

He first deliberately discarded Wuguan, and then let the barbarians see that their armaments were so dilapidated, with these foreshadowing of Wuguan, the successive defeats of the wind army in the back became a matter of course in the eyes of the barbarians.

It is precisely for this reason that Rude despises the Feng Army more and more, which is to send himself to death, and Xiao Wang is deliberately guiding Rude to despise himself.

Xiao Wang deliberately opened the cork, led the barbarians into this big gourd, and then covered the stopper, and then put a fire in the gourd, burning all 50,000 barbarians to death in this 'big gourd'.

This fire of more than 20 miles burned for more than two hours.

The raging mountain wind made the entire valley in a sea of fire.

During this period, the casualties of the barbarian cavalry were the first to show, the 10,000 cavalry, it can be said that they were not even useful, they were all buried in the fire, and the Tusi veteran led most of the infantry to try to break through the defense line of the fourth camp, but in the end he could not escape a single person, even the barbarian commander Rude was also killed in the fire!

There were thousands of other barbarian soldiers, who fled in the direction of Wuguan in the chaotic situation at that time, but they were greeted by Wang Yan and others who had already received Xiao Wang's military order.

Wang Yan's troops blocked the mouth of the gourd, and it can be said that they picked up thousands of heads without much effort.

At that time, the barbarians who fled to this side and were raged by the fire were almost in a state of scattered sand, and there was no one to lead them at all, but the barbarian soldiers and soldiers fled to this side spontaneously in a panic.

Moreover, when Wang Yan's department was guarding the mouth of the gourd, almost all the barbarians he saw rushed out of the fire, and the other party's body was full of scorching fire, and after they came out, they were all fighting the fire without their lives, either slapping in a hurry, or rolling on the ground, where was the slightest room for resistance.

Soon, Wang Yan led the soldiers of the Third Corps to converge with Xiao Wang's main force. After the generals gathered in the tent, the fire in the valley was almost burned out, and the finishing work was being done at this time.

It didn't take long for a commander who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield to return to the Chinese military tent, and after seeing Xiao Wang, he said respectfully: "General Qiyu, the 50,000 barbarian army has all been wiped out by our army, and no one has escaped!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Wang sat behind the handsome case, and asked with a glint in his eyes: "How many casualties are there in our army, have you counted them?" ”

"General Hui, it's been counted." The commander replied: "The general's plan is to break the barbarian army, and our army is almost waiting for the rabbit, and there is no loss, only five or six hundred soldiers have been killed or wounded. ”

"Six hundred soldiers...... Xiao Wang sighed slightly, and said: "The death of these five or six hundred soldiers, in the final analysis, is still caused by the deep fear of the barbarians in the hearts of the soldiers in the past, if our soldiers are not afraid of the barbarians, then in such an advantageous situation, the other party is equivalent to fish and meat on the chopping board, how can our army suffer so many casualties!" ”

His words, of course, have an extremely arrogant taste, but at this moment, listening to the ears of the generals, there is no harsh feeling, and people are admiring Xiao Wang in their hearts at this moment.

With 26,000 troops, the barbarian army of 50,000 people was defeated, but only 5 or 600 soldiers were sacrificed on their own side, and this battle can be described as a complete victory! In the border city, over the years, the wind army has fought against the barbarians countless times, and I am afraid that no commander can fight such a beautiful battle.

"The general is strategic, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, but he leads the enemy army into our trap step by step, it can really be said that he is a god with soldiers, and we sincerely worship it!" There is a bias that will pat Xiao Wang's ass.

Even Zhao Chuan, who had always thought that Xiao Wang was deliberately harming himself, couldn't help but say: "General Xiao, in this battle, our army can be said to have won a great victory, and when facing the barbarians, the soldiers of each corps also fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the general said that the soldiers of our army have been afraid of the barbarians for a long time, and these are inevitable, after all, before the adults took office, our army was indeed afraid of the barbarians!" ”

"I hope that after this battle, the officers and men of our army can eliminate this fear in their hearts."

Xiao Wang nodded when he heard this, then glanced at Zhao Chuan strangely, and said jokingly: "Why, General Zhao doesn't blame Ben Shuai at the moment?" ”

"Huh?" When Zhao Chuan heard this, he waved his hand embarrassedly, and said with a grin: "The general has tormented the last general, as the general said, for the sake of the overall victory, even if it is to sacrifice the life of my Zhao Chuan alone, then what's the matter!" Previously, I misunderstood the general, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”

Well, this Zhao Chuan is really good, no wonder adults value him so much! Xiao Wang nodded secretly, and then said:

"Previously, I didn't explain my plan to the generals in advance, not because I didn't believe in everyone here, but because once I told you, then you wouldn't be so 'serious' to cooperate with the acting, and I hope the generals don't be surprised, Xiao Wang is here to make amends to the generals......"

He commanded the battle and won a big victory, but at this moment he was so modest to apologize to everyone, how could people still grasp this little contradiction, and they all returned the salute, many people said that they had misunderstood Xiao Wang before, and they also hoped that Xiao Wang would not take it to heart.

After everyone was polite, Xiao Wang pressed his hand slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then he stood up from behind the handsome case and said:

"However, this battle can annihilate 50,000 barbarians in one fell swoop, but it is not the work of the commander alone, not only the generals and all the soldiers are indispensable, but also the work of the adults is far above us."

After a pause, he said again: "Just imagine, if it is any of the previous border city and county guards, who would dare to appoint such a small soldier as the commander in chief, and if there is no appointment from an adult, how can I command the army, how can there be a fire in the mouth of the gourd, and how can there be this fire burning the four battalions!" ”
