Chapter 69: Defeat has appeared
The Shuishui bandits are using Ge Bao to lead the soldiers and horses, Ma Dalong is such a brave person, tall and strong, is arranged to the position of the forward with the troops, Fang Cai's own father said "Ge Bao should be the first merit in Jianyang" assessment, so Ma Dalong is very indignant, obviously he was born and died in front of the war, Ge Bao is moving his mouth to be able to take the first merit?
However, afterwards, Ma Dalong was also relieved, he was indeed inferior to Ge Bao, the former captain of the small Chang'an Judu, in the matter of commanding the troops.
Ge Bao would arrange his troops in a row, and he had previously used these troops under his command very appropriately.
Now the rebel army is probably divided into three classes, the first class is the small Chang'an garrison under Ge Bao's original command, who has experienced the war, so Ge Bao arranged these people at the forefront of the attacking rebel army, in the case that both sides are lacking long-distance weapons such as bows and arrows, this arrangement is undoubtedly the most appropriate, and the training of the regular army is orderly, which provides a lot of help for the instantaneous suppression on the battlefield.
The second class is the original Shuishui bandits, these people have more or less stained human life on their hands, not afraid of bloodshed, among which there are many vicious and ruthless murderers, and the third class is the civilian people who have been coerced during this time, these people are the most uncontrollable group of Ge Bao, because once the momentum on the battlefield is not conducive to their own side, the soles of these people will run away without a trace like oil, so Ge Bao will supervise the original Shuishui bandits each of the civilian people of about ten people, and then arrange a team of bandits in the rear of the rebel army, If a common man escapes, he will be killed.
This is one of the reasons why this bandit, who was regarded as a rabble by the imperial court, was able to make the guards of Thorn Yang invincible.
With the regular army gaining an advantage in the front, the combat effectiveness of these civilians who are taking advantage of the situation is comparable to that of the regular army, not to mention that there are people around to watch, how can they not use force?
Those guards who are looking at the crumbling army on the other side are the children of the old clan who oppressed them before, even if they don't supervise, these deeply oppressed civilians will also climb up and bite off a piece of meat!
So much so that Gou Wushe, who had just entered the battlefield, said angrily: "These untouchables, they don't have such strength in cultivating the land on weekdays!" ”
As for Ge Bao, he usually arranged troops in the rear, and the only time he personally led the troops was when the righteous army gathered from Xiao'an to attack Jianyang, Ge Bao personally led 500 soldiers under the guidance of the local bandits, bypassed the guards of the old clan, and directly and easily took the Jianyang Mansion.
It is precisely because of this that the situation of attacking the old clan guards on both sides has been formed, of course, there is also the reason why the old clan can't bear to abandon the foundation within the clan.
For these misers, it made Ma Dalong sneer.
Such a reluctant family property in the clan is not cheap for us!
However, just as Ma Dalong was looking at the old clan guards not far away, it was his second brother Ma Erlong who came to his side and said, "Big brother, Brother Leopard called you over, saying that he would take down the Gou clan's territory tonight!" ”
Hearing this, Ma Dalong didn't dare to slack off, so he went towards Ge Bao's camp.
……
Because the attitude of this group of bandits towards the common people was to coerce them to attack the high walls and deep courtyards of the old clan, so the Huaiyang Army arranged a lot of spies to collect intelligence and pass on news.
Originally, Lin Yuyan was still worried that this group of bandits would gather in every place and win people's hearts, after all, in Xiaochang'an, this group of bandits did the business of opening a warehouse and releasing grain, and this incident alone made Lin Yuyan worried, if the bandits did this every time they went to a place, according to the current situation of Wuguo, it was very likely that it would be a follower Yun Cong.
But......
This gang of bandits only gathered in Xiaochang'an to practice benevolence and righteousness, and when they arrived in Jianyang, Lin Yuyan looked at the news sent back, and also raised the corners of his mouth, and a big stone fell in his heart.
Where the bandits passed, the tombs were robbed, none of the old clans survived, the bandits were very greedy, or the tombs of the common people were not spared, it was the summer heat, the corpses were all in the wilderness, the evil spirit was monstrous, and it was difficult for people to hide it.
And every time the bandits plunder, they will burn, kill and plunder, the people of the old clan, the head of the owl hangs a long pole, and the common people are all taken captive for it, for its tigers, and the bandits have no way to plunder, and it is difficult to write!
Are the bandits who act like this still the rebels they think they are wishful thinking?
Just digging up the tombs of our ancestors is an enmity that does not share the heavens.
Lin Yuyan handed the book in his hand to Ling Yingde of Shuyang, and said: "Copy several copies of this book and send it to the army for circulation, and make it clear that if Shuyang is occupied by bandits, it will be the same!" ”
Linghuang De knew that Lin Yuyan wanted to boost the morale of the soldiers, so he nodded and answered.
Lin Yuyan secretly stared at the map of Thorn Yang and thought, to be honest, the terrain of Thorn Yang is flat, it can be said that it is a flat river, there is no danger at all, and if you want to rely on the terrain to win, you can't reach the old clan of Thorn Yang.
Lin Yuyan also knows the style of bandits' fighting, so Lin Yuyan feels that there are people in this group of bandits who can fight well, and everything they do is reasonable.
In front is the regular army, behind is the mob under the supervision of the bandits, and finally arranges a column of bandits to prevent them from escaping, this arrangement is to determine that this bandit army can only advance, and must not retreat in the slightest!
This is the terrible thing about this bandit army, but it is not a weakness in Lin Yuyan's eyes.
If there is no accident, the last resistance of the old clan of Jianyang should be tonight, because the bandits are already collecting hay, if there is no accident, even if the Gou clan has a high wall and a deep courtyard, and thousands of people have gathered, they are also afraid of fire.
"Inform Xiang Ying that the soldiers will be waiting for the rest tonight, ready to accept the last batch of people in Jianyang!" Lin Yuyan said.
Jing Yi nodded beside him.
……
"Report! The bandits are gathering! ”
Hearing that his own children came to report, Gou Wushe, who had just slept by the pillar, suddenly got up, pulled out the sword on his waist, and said angrily: "Wu Na pariah, if you really deceive my old clan, no one cares!" ”
Then he looked left and right and said, "Beat the drum and call all the clan leaders to fight for the dignity of the ancestors of the old clan!" ”
At this moment, Gou Wu's blood surged, and the depressed mood of being besieged by bandits in the past few days was also completely released, and then he heard bursts of drums.
As soon as Gou Wushe walked out of the hall door, he looked up and saw the fire, and he had a faint sound of firefighting.
It was a report from the house: "Lord Clan, the bandits are attacking the city with fireballs, and the old clans can't resist it!" ”
Gou Wushe panicked: "What do they do?" ”
"I have led my clan towards the South Courtyard, but there are no bandits attacking on that wall!" Fu Ding replied.
Gou Wushu shouted: "The old clan misunderstood me! ”
