Chapter 3 Tiger Ben's Bloody War Quells Rebellion
Section 15 Pacification (2)
Early the next morning, Zhao Kaishan, Gao Hongguang, and Wang Dangdang gathered most of the Feiyu Battalion, the Zhichong Battalion, the Huben Battalion, and the Yingyang Battalion to line up and fight, and surrounded the rebel camp by the Jialing River, and more than 40,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army were ready to launch a fierce attack on the rebels at any time.
At the same time that the rebels found out that the soldiers of the Hanwei Army were mobilized, they also launched a defense, and they were always on full alert, and tens of thousands of rebels were all dispatched to operate the defense mechanism of the entire battalion, vowing to fight with the soldiers of the Hanwei Army.
Zhao Kaishan looked at the posture of the rebels in the distance, and said to Gao Hongguang and Wang Dangdang: "It seems that you have really fought a lot of tough battles before, and this rebel army is really a bit defensive and has a bit of a posture. ”
When the two of them heard this, they glanced at Zhao Kaishan together, and said secretly: "What nonsense!" ”
"Alright, let's take out our killer weapon!"
Zhao Kaishan waved his hand behind him, and a group of people rushed out of the Hanwei army formation without collecting it at night, and rushed towards the rebel camp, until they came to the edge of the outermost trench before stopping.
A general manager who does not collect a hundred people at night sat on a war horse and shouted loudly: "The rebels in front have all listened, your head An Bangyan and the head of the luxury family have been defeated by our Han Wei army, and now the two have been ambushed, and the main force of tens of thousands of rebels has also been wiped out!" You are already a complete lone army, and if you continue to resist, you will only be killed! If you want to live, immediately put down your weapons and open the door to surrender, otherwise, when my army is exhausted, there will be no chickens and dogs left! ”
After finishing speaking, the Bai Zong took off the heads of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan from the saddle, and ran back and forth around the trench with his horse held high. When the rebel soldiers in the large camp in the distance saw this scene, they immediately became agitated, and the morale of the army immediately began to waver. The reason why these tens of thousands of rebels were able to fight for many days and fight with the 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army was that they thought that An Bangyan would defeat the official army and then come back, and take everyone to continue to attack the city and enjoy the glory and wealth.
But who would have expected that now An Bangyan not only failed to lead the army back to relieve the siege, but instead defeated and died of his own infantry, and even the invincible luxury Chongming has already been killed, who still has the courage to continue fighting? There is no chance of winning this battle!
After a while, bursts of angry roars erupted in the rebel camp, some of the rebels wanted to open the door and surrender under great pressure, but some of the rebels thought that what the Han Wei Army said was a lie and could not be trusted, and they were determined to fight to the death with the Han Wei Army. The two sides had great disagreements and began a fierce dispute, from scolding and pushing each other to drawing swords and fighting each other, the entire rebel camp became a battlefield in an instant, and the originally extremely strong camp collapsed from the inside in an instant.
When Zhao Kaishan saw this scene, he immediately laughed and said loudly: "Haha, that's true!" What are we waiting for? Attack now! ”
Wang Dangdang didn't care about arguing with Zhao Kaishan at this time, so he was about to mobilize a large army to attack the rebel camp, but he was immediately stopped by Gao Hongguang.
"You wait for a while, we must not attack now, let the rebels fight each other for a while."
Zhao Kaishan looked at Gao Hongguang with an incredulous expression, and was just about to ask, when he heard Wang Dangdang say fearfully for a while: "Yes, yes, it's because I'm too anxious." If we attack now, the rebel soldiers in the battalion who are fighting will definitely become suspicious of us, and most of the two sides will shake hands and make peace, turn around and continue to resist us; The worst thing is that in such a chaotic scene, the soldiers who attacked the battalion will also suffer a lot of casualties, so it is better to wait a little longer and let the rebels consume some more. ”
Zhao Kaishan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and patiently looked at the rebel camp fighting fiercely in the distance and waited.
Half an hour later, the sound of fighting from the rebel camp not only did not weaken, but intensified, the whole camp can be described as a killing sound that shook the sky, and even a few places in the rebel camp were lit with raging fires, and thick smoke filled most of the camp.
Gao Hongguang looked at it for a while and said, "It's almost time, let's start doing!" ”
Zhao Kaishan and Wang Dangdang were extremely excited to dispatch their troops, and only a moment later, the Huben Battalion and the Zhechong Battalion dispatched four thousand infantry battalions and two fire gun battalions, totaling more than 10,000 soldiers, to launch a fierce attack on the rebel battalion. Gao Hongguang led the remaining main army to continue to besiege the rebel camp to prevent the rebels from fleeing in all directions.
At this time, the tens of thousands of rebels in the camp had been fighting for a long time, and the fierce battle situation had caused the rebels to suffer heavy losses, and they had no time to take care of blocking the attack of the Hanwei army. Zhao Kaishan and Wang Dangdang personally led the army to attack, and the soldiers only took less than half an hour to fill in more than a dozen sections of the three trenches, and tens of thousands of soldiers killed the rebel camp in an instant, and did not even encounter the slightest resistance from the rebels along the way.
Wang Bo was even more brave and fearless, and directly led 500 bird-gunners to shoot at the gate of the rebel camp, regardless of whether the rebels in front were willing to surrender or not, opening the way for the army to advance. After clearing the vicinity of Yuanmen, Wang Dangdang mobilized three Huzun cannons, aimed at Yuanmen, and blasted through the gate in the blink of an eye, and tens of thousands of Hanwei soldiers swarmed in, and it took less than an hour to occupy the rebel camp.
The thousands of rebels who were fighting saw the wolf-like soldiers of the Hanwei Army rushing into the camp, as if they had seen a fierce ghost in broad daylight, they abandoned their opponents and fled in all directions, and even jumped directly into the turbulent Jialing River in a panic, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the rebel soldiers in the camp who were scurrying around like frightened birds, Zhao Kaishan immediately shouted loudly: "If you want to live, immediately drop your weapons and kneel on the spot, and anyone who moves around, regardless of surrender or not, will be killed!" ”
This order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers of the Hanwei Army who had entered the camp immediately pounced on the surrounding rebel soldiers. After a while, there was not a single rebel soldier standing in the whole camp, and all the rebel soldiers who were still alive trembled and fell to their knees, waiting for the verdict of fate.
After the battle, the soldiers of the Hanwei Army began to clean up the battlefield, and in this battle, the soldiers of the Hanwei Army captured a total of more than 4,000 rebel soldiers, and the captured grain, grass, and weapons were not counted. And Gao Hongguang, Zhao Kaishan, and Wang Dangdang didn't care about checking the seizures, and on the one hand, they sent someone to report the victory to Liu Yunwei, and on the other hand, they discussed the matter of the army going north to Sword Pavilion City.
The words are divided into two ends.
In Sword Pavilion City, nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army have been stationed here for a few days. During this period, except for Li Tianhao leading the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion to converge, there was no ripple. The rebels in the Great Sword Mountain outside the city have never heard any news, as if the tens of thousands of rebels have completely evaporated from the world, which is incomprehensible.
Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhou Tianyi, Hu Kun, Huang Fuming and others couldn't sit still when they saw this, and they all found Liu Yunwei and wanted to lead their troops to attack and go to Dajian Mountain to investigate. But then Liu Yunwei refused: "The elite can't detect the movements of the rebels if they don't collect at night, and you can find the rebels if you lead the troops?" This is not something that can be done with a large number of people, don't act rashly, wait for changes! ”
At this moment, the good news of Gao Hongguang and others arrived in Sword Pavilion City, and Liu Yunwei was very happy after receiving it, and said to everyone: "Haha, okay!" Now the rebels in the four southwestern provinces are only left with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses hidden in the area of Dajin Mountain! ”
Lu Ying said happily: "Big brother, is it not until Gao Hongguang and the others arrive in Sword Pavilion City, we are going to go out of the city to start a war?" ”
Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "I'm still thinking about whether to fight or not, but we will definitely take action, otherwise everyone is so deadlocked, haha!" ”
For a while, everyone was a little unsure of what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Yunwei's gourd, and Liu Yunwei refused to say it explicitly when asked, so he had to wait patiently for most of the soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion, the Tiger Camp, the Zhichong Battalion, and the Feiyu Battalion to arrive.
Two days later, Gao Hongguang, Zhao Kaishan, and Wang Dangdang led an army of 40,000 to arrive at Jiange City, and Liu Yunwei led the generals out of the city for three miles to greet them. After everyone returned to the city government together, Liu Yunwei said in public: "Ladies and gentlemen, this counterinsurgency war has been fought so far, and the soldiers of all battalions have made great sacrifices, and at the same time, they have also made great achievements!" Today, this rebellion that has plagued the four southwestern provinces is about to be put down! Nearly 80,000 soldiers of our Hanwei army gathered in Jiange City, and the army will march north early tomorrow morning to fight the last rebel army in Dajian Mountain. ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Zhao Kaishan, Wang Gandang and others were even more flushed, eager to lead the army and set off immediately.
Liu Yunwei smiled, and suddenly said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all clenched their fists and stood solemnly, shouting: "The end will be!" ”
"Tonight, the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion, the Tiger Battalion, and the Yue Cavalry Battalion secretly went out of the city to the south and hid ten miles south of the Sword Pavilion City, but when they saw a fire burning in the area of the Great Sword Mountain, they returned to the army and attacked the Sword Pavilion City! The southward army was under the full command of Lu Ying. ”
Lu Ying, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao were all shocked when they heard this, and they didn't understand what Liu Yunwei's intention was with this order.
"Early tomorrow morning, all the remaining soldiers and horses will follow me north to Dajian Mountain to find rebels to fight."
Zhou Tianyi asked with some hesitation: "General Town, Sword Pavilion City has no troops to defend?" ”
Liu Yunwei laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go and rest." ”
Hearing this, everyone left thoughtfully, their expressions were full of worry and incomprehension, only Lu Ying and Zhou Tianyi reacted immediately, and went back to sleep with confidence.
