Chapter 173: Wang Huan's Next Step

The chase lasted for half an hour, and Wang Xiang's soldiers, who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor, were like scattered insects and ants, panicking and drilling when they saw a hole, desperately avoiding the Kuizhou military horses chasing behind them. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

At this time, the problem of marching seventy miles a day for five days was exposed, and the tired foot soldiers, even if they used the strength to feed, could not outrun the Kuizhou soldiers with full stamina, and were either caught up and killed, or kneeling down and surrendering like dead dogs.

Of the 5,000 men and horses, only a few of the 200 escaped in the end, and they were basically archers who sneaked behind when they saw that the situation was not good at first.

For the rest of the people, the dead accounted for most of them, and some of the wounded had no one to treat them, and they could not escape death. Wang Huan counted the battlefield and captured nearly 500 people, including some slightly injured people who could move around on their own, and they were also tied up by the Kuizhou soldiers.

"Put away all the knives and guns, load them and pull them back, this is a good thing." Zu Bian commanded loudly with a lively spirit, and he was in a good mood: "Hey, be careful!" That bird is a treasure, don't break it! ”

He rode on a horse, and walked with Wang Huan on the battlefield, staring at the white-robed soldiers cleaning the battlefield and picking up the spoils of war as if they were inspecting their own manor.

"It's a pity that those cavalry things, the war horses ridden are all left with horse R, and the half-body iron armor worn has also been blown to shreds, and it can no longer be used." Ma Wannian sighed with regret.

"It's okay, Ma R can pick up what he can eat and take it away, and the R food in the past few days depends on it, and the fried iron armor is also picked up and peeled off, and maybe he can make up a few sets of patchwork and inlays." Wang Huan immediately issued the supreme directive to educate everyone on the principle of hard work and simplicity.

Everyone nodded understandingly, although Wang Huan has money, but these military supplies can not be bought with money, since the imperial court lost Nanjing, a large number of military supplies in the official treasury have been cheaper for the Tartar Qing army, and now the Nanming military town is not enough for its own use, where can it be supplied to the military town in Sichuan, the Qing army has it, can it be sold to Wang Huan?

If it weren't for the yellow gunpowder and the drumming out of the bombs, I am afraid that it would not have gone smoothly to today, and in the long run, we must pay close attention to recruiting some technical talents.

"My lord, what should I do next? Zeng Ying may be killed in two days, and Wang Xiang's defeated soldiers will also tell him about today's battle, and he must plan early. Ma Long said, this person is similar to Ma Xintian, if you don't say it, you can often get to the point with one mouth.

Wang Huan pondered for a moment, and then resolutely said: "According to the agreed plan, Zubian and Ma Wannian and I will take three thousand troops into the mountains, hide them, and wait for Ma Xintian's new army." You lead the remaining 3,000 people, firmly hold the Diaoyu City, attract Zeng Ying, tie him to the city, where you can't go, when Ma Xintian arrives, the inside and the outside should be together, and kill him while he is unprepared! ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Ma Long, 3,000 people defending the city, and the heavy task was arduous.

Zeng Ying's men and horses, there are forty or fifty thousand, one less Wang Xiang, but more than five thousand, the rest of the army can swallow Ma Long, but Diaoyu City is dangerous, Wang Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty relied on 10,000 people to resist the siege of the Mongolian army of 100,000 for several years, Wang Huan arranged it like this, and it makes sense.

Wang Huan reined in his mount, looked sideways at Ma Long, and left him with 3,000 soldiers recruited from Fengjie and other Kuizhou prefectures and counties, and their training was less than full-term, and there was a qualitative difference between them and the 3,000 people he brought.

In his own hands, Ma Xintian is the most suitable, but at the moment, he is recruiting troops in Chongqing, and his ancestors are brave and not stable, not to mention Chen Xiang and Ma Wannian.

Ma Long's eyes flashed, although his face was not shocked, but his heart was surging, he followed Qin Liangyu to join the army, for many years in the south and the north, from a small soldier to a deputy thousand general, has not been able to go further, not that he can't do it, but the white pole soldiers have withered over the years, and the few soldiers and officials are naturally few, such as Li Tingyu, such a fierce person, is only a general, so he can't be promoted for several years.

This time there is a chance to stand alone, even if it is dangerous, but it is a great opportunity, as long as the Diaoyu City is guarded, the status in Wang Huan's heart will definitely rise, and the eldest husband will join the army with a sword, isn't it just to make a name for himself? The so-called wealth and danger are sought, what does it matter if you fight for your life?

Facing Wang Huan's earnest gaze and feeling the jealous eyes of the ancestors on the side, Ma Long clenched his fists straight and said in a deep voice: "The last general understands, please rest assured, there is an end general, unless he grows wings, he will never let Zeng Fang pass from here!" ”

Wang Huan said happily: "Okay! With your words, I am relieved, three days, you only need to hold on to the mountain for three days, consume Zeng Ying's sharp spirit, then our army will win without worry. ”

Everyone's expressions became excited, and they were really happy to hear Wang Huan say this, as if three days later, a big victory was in the palm of their hands.

However, there are also sober people, Ma Long asked with some concern: "My lord, even if Lord Ma Xintian leads the troops here, it is only a few thousand, and our troops together are no more than 10,000, but Zeng Ying is an army of 50,000, how can he win?" ”

This sentence stunned the ancestors and others, and hurriedly looked at Wang Huan again.

This was said by Wang Huan, he must have a way.

Wang Huan smiled slyly, the corners of his mouth twitched like a set of J merchants, looked at the four of them, and said a few words, and the four of them laughed when they heard it, causing the white-robed soldiers who were busy cleaning up from far and near to look sideways.

……

Shunqing goes east along the official road for 400 miles, in a mountain village in Pengxi County, the cooking smoke is swirling, the camp tent is dense, Zeng Ying's eastward return army, camped here.

Several large houses in the village, which were barely stable and clean, were forcibly occupied as the residence of the general soldiers, and the largest one was set up with desks and chairs to serve as a large tent for the Chinese army.

A few grizzled defeated pawns were kneeling on the ground in the middle of the room, talking with a handful of snot and tears.

"Junmen, the stone pillar barbarians really have witchcraft, the cavalry of Wang Junmen, who had already rushed in front of them, was about to break the formation, and the barbarian soldiers suddenly rolled up a demon wind, and a row of fire walls were raised in front of the formation, wrapping all the cavalry in it, and thunder fell from the sky, killing the cavalry!"

"This is true, Junmen, the barbarian soldiers made a move, threw out a row of talismans, and those talismans fell to the ground and attracted thunder, killing all the brothers within a radius of dozens of zhang, even the corpses were incomplete, the thunder was rolling, the sound was loud, we were standing in the back row, and our ears were almost deafening."

"Military Gate, thousands of brothers didn't even touch the edge of the stone pillar barbarian, they were struck by a thunderbolt summoned by witchcraft, we are not afraid of death, but the will of heaven is angry, and we cannot fight the military gate."

Several defeated soldiers said with tears in their eyes, in order to save their lives, they described a battle as if the heavenly soldiers and generals descended to earth, because Zeng Ying ruled the army strictly, the master will die and the soldiers will be punished by military law to death, these soldiers are afraid of being dealt with by military law, such as the storyteller possessed, and the stars are flying wildly.

The generals sitting in the room looked at each other, half-believing and half-convinced, saying that they didn't believe it, Wang Xiang was 5,000 people, and he was also a brave and good fighter, and it was incredible to encounter 3,000 Kuizhou soldiers who were defeated and died; Say believe it, I haven't heard that there are any witchcraft sages in Shizhu, I haven't seen it in so many years, how can I believe it?

Zeng Ying's face changed, squinting his eyes and didn't know why, when it came to witchcraft, he didn't believe it at all, fighting and marching, there has always been only Y schemes, where are the gods and monsters, if there is really one, then why didn't Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher of the Three Kingdoms, become the emperor? I've always been weird and confused, and I've fooled fools.

But how Wang Xiang was defeated, these defeated soldiers didn't explain it for a long time.
