Chapter 1189 Under the fame, a hundred drive ten thousand
Xuanjia is good at attacking, and it is invincible, it can be called invincible in the world.
This position has now become the consensus of the world, after all, as long as the Xuanjia Army attacks, it will not only defeat the enemy, but even the forces with the enemy will be defeated together.
But by extension, there are not many times when the Xuanjia Army is really on the defensive, and what is really known is that when Zhang Fang led the army in Pingzhou, it was surrounded by several parties.
And in this matter, although the Xuanjia Army was not damaged much at that time, many of Zhang Fang's co-followers suffered a lot of damage, and they actually made sacrifices in place of the Xuanjia Army.
This matter then slowly spread, and it has developed to this day, and a consensus has slowly formed in the hearts of many people, that is, compared to the offensive of the Xuanjia Army, their defensive position is weaker.
In fact, after analyzing the results of Zhang Fang's defense at that time, many people can easily find that in the simple city environment at that time, Zhang Fang was able to take 3,000 Xuanjia troops to withstand the offensive of tens of thousands of enemy troops, and this ability is far beyond the ordinary soldiers and horses.
In other words, comparing this ability to defend the city in the whole world, it can still be said to be one of the best, but it is no longer so unattainable.
On the other hand, many people also realize that although the Xuanjia Army is well-trained and has many sharp weapons, it is also a mortal in the flesh, and it will also face disadvantages such as insufficient numbers.
Because of this, Director Wang felt that the number of Xuanjia soldiers escorting the envoy group this time was a little small.
It's just that this idea of his, after the first encounter with the enemy, was immediately dispelled-
It is not accurate to say that it is the first time to encounter the enemy, because under the escort of Li Tou and others, the envoy group from the south went all the way north, and during this period, they really encountered several bandits.
These thieves also have some skills, at least they seem to be quite like that, and more importantly, they can already be seen to be organized.
Judging from Director Wang's perception, he felt that perhaps these thieves along the way were a little more professional than Shi Le during the Eighteen Horse Thieves period.
There are some reasons for this, Li Tou explained to the prime minister of Jiang Zuo afterwards, but the reason is simple, it is still because of the Xuanjia bandits.
It is said that the whole north is suppressing bandits, but in the end they are trapped with transportation and communications, but it is okay when you are in Youzhou and other places, the construction of the official road is relatively perfect, and there is patrol experience, you can often explore, but whenever some thieves resurge, they will be discovered as soon as possible.
But the states after the collapse of the Zhao State are different, the territory is too large, the relative Xuanjia soldiers are not enough, and repeatedly suppress the bandits, kill a large number of thieves, but there will be a small group of fish that slip through the net, and to deal with such a small group of thieves, the use of large troops is not cost-effective at all, and it is completely operational, and it is difficult to exterminate a simple small army.
has developed to the present, so that these small groups of thieves still have room to survive, but after the repeated encirclement and suppression of the Xuanjia Army, coupled with the propaganda and boycott among the people, the little thieves who can survive until now have more or less some ability, at least they know who can be provoked and who should get out of the way when they see it.
Therefore, the little thieves I met before were the first to slip away, and I didn't dare to surround them at all.
It wasn't until they entered the territory of Sizhou that they encountered the first encounter in the sense of the word, and although the number of the other party was not 10,000, it was at least more than 8,000.
At that time, Li Tou and the envoy group happened to come down from a high place, and when they looked at it condescendingly, most of the people in the envoy group were shocked.
But Li Tou laughed, and directly arranged the troops, and saw that in the Xuanjia army, many soldiers came out, took out many parts and objects and assembled them together, and soon formed something that looked like a single-tip cannon, and then bombarded it directly.
Subsequently, Li Tou seized the opportunity and rushed in directly with his soldiers and horses.
So in the horrified eyes of Wang Dao and others, they saw hundreds of Xuanjia, so they rushed over without fear and killed nearly 10,000 enemy troops - and nearly half of the Xuanjia army stayed behind to protect the envoys.
But it is these hundreds of people, rushing left and right among thousands of people, as if they were in a no-man's land!
The final result was that the nearly 10,000 people completely collapsed and fled in all directions!
So Wang Dao and other southern scholars were so shocked, watching hundreds of people drive nearly 10,000 people!
The chase lasted for an hour before Li Tou came back with someone, and he still had this unfinished expression on his face.
"These thieves ......" Wang Dao stepped forward, and there was already some caution in his words.
I didn't expect Li Tou to be wrong, his old face turned red, and he forcibly explained: "It's not that I can't lead the army, it's not that my soldiers are not strong, but there are too many thieves, and I can't kill them at all, and I didn't prepare for an ambush before, so I made such a mistake and failed to annihilate the thief army!" ”
Director Wang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his mind couldn't turn for a while, and after a while, he realized that he dared to feel that this Xuanjia captain felt that he had underestimated the other party, and the reason was that he did not annihilate these nearly 10,000 thieves!
God, you took hundreds of people and drove nearly 10,000 people away, and who else dares to look down on them?
As the ruling party in the south, Wang Dao is very clear that if it is a soldier and horse in the south, even if it is the elite soldiers of Wang Dun of the same clan, if there are only a few hundred people, and he encounters these nearly 10,000 thieves and horses, his first reaction is definitely not to rush to kill, let alone feel that it is a shame not to be able to annihilate them.
It's just that Director Wang really didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say in a praising tone: "The power of the general, as soon as it is!" ”
When Li Tou heard this, he let go of his worries and became happy, and then became humble and said: "This is nothing, in fact, this group of people looks like there are many people, but in fact, they are a rabble, if I bring a little more people, they don't dare to approach at all, and now they just think that they have a chance to come!" ”
"That was still defeated by the general!" Director Wang flattered again.
Li Tou waved his hand, but he explained seriously: "Actually, it's easy to say, don't look at these people, in fact, there is no heavy logistics, more part of the operation and logistics, it is a veritable rabble, once their strikers are defeated, the people behind will flee from the wind, messing up their own formation, and they will definitely lose!" ”
Director Wang nodded silently, but he knew very well in his heart that there were many people who knew these truths, and he could really prove them with a few hundred people, but he would never say anything, but this Li Tou in front of him was only a middle and upper-level general in the Xuanjia Army.
The Xuanjia Army......
Inexplicably, Director Wang was even more in awe of this name.
