PS: The second chapter is in the afternoon

"There are many species of bandits, just as there are many species of birds. Both sparrows and mandarin ducks have wings, but they are not the same. ”

In the afternoon, Zhao Wuxian, dressed in black clothes and black armor, urged Zhao Ying to send people from the Jin State to send the horse, paced to the beach where scattered corpses were lying and blood seeped into the mud, looking at the thieves scattered like birds in the distance, and said such a sentence.

Later novels and operas like to praise good people for being framed by the court and forced to fall into the grass, but as far as Zhao Wuxian has seen with his own eyes in the past few years, most of the robbers prefer to bully the weak rather than the heroes of Liangshan who do the right thing for the sky.

Of course, only a small number of them are born into bad people, driven by greed, with malice, contempt for their fathers and brothers, and only interested in adultery and plunder.

The so-called outcasts deserve more sympathy than them, even though they are just as dangerous and unruly when they fall into the grass.

The homeless people used to be simple civilians, with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, and they never left their dwellings for even ten miles. It was not until one day, when a tax collector in a splendid robe came to the city, with a straight face, and demanded taxes according to the description on the slip, that the people knew for the first time that they were part of the property of a certain scholar.

So half of the grain they harvested was taken away, and they were forced to help the doctor hunt wild beasts, as the so-called "one day in the raccoon, take the other fox, for the son Qiu". In addition, you have to go to the city to do labor, the tax rate has gradually risen from 11 to 1/2, two-thirds, and the labor has risen from January a year to no month.

Until they were oppressed too much to bear, the common people fled. Fleeing into the mountains and forests and Daze that the scholars and doctors could not pursue, he wanted to find a paradise of his own elsewhere.

Paradise Paradise. No such mouses!

They walked through the thorns, risking their lives to fight wild beasts. Halfway through the wound, he was wounded again. They never had enough to eat, their shoes gradually disintegrated in the endless trek, their clothes were torn into strips of cloth, and many people became ill from drinking dirty water, and their feces and urine were stretched in simple shacks.

If you want new shoes, or warmer clothes, or food to fill your stomach. They had to ask for it from others, and this gradually evolved into stealing and looting, targeting the same civilians as they had before. Stealing chickens and dogs, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep, and this is just one step away from robbing the wives and daughters of civilians, and the homeless people begin to transform into homeless gangsters.

Until one day, they looked around at the shore of the lake and began to wonder where they were and how to get home. They became outright outcasts.

By this time, the idea of all families had disappeared, and the state, the king, and the clan were not as good as a bowl of spoiled corn to them, or at least the corn would allow him to live one more day; It's not as good as a bag of cloudy wine. can temporarily drown out his fears. The life of the rogues today does not know tomorrow, they do not know the next meal after eating, and they live like beasts rather than people.

At this time, if a big thief occupies the island and raises the flag. can gather a lot of people, and that's how the thieves started.

Postwar. After interrogating the captives, it was learned that Liu Xiazu actually raised his arms and shouted. After issuing the slogan "Wait for the rich and the low, both rich and poor, and the cultivator has his land", Zhao Wuxian was also stunned for a while.

He didn't know if this was originally in history, or if it was one of the changes brought about by his little butterfly wings, but he secretly speculated whether future generations of students would face such a multiple-choice question in history:

May I ask who was the first leader of the peasant uprising in our country to put forward a slogan program?

A. Thief

B. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang

C. Zhang Jiao

D. Yellow Nest

In short, the "peasant rebel army" with the program and the traditional group of thieves are completely two equals, and the words of the thieves have rekindled hope in their hearts like ashes, no less than a spiritual atomic bomb, and Zhao Wuxian has seen it today.

……

In order to lure the thieves to Yuncheng, Zhao Wuxian took great pains to quietly strengthen the defense of other lakeshores except Yuncheng and exterminate the robbers, which was also an agreement of the Xilu Zhuyi Alliance. At the same time, under the pretext of the tense border of Qilu, he transferred the Yuncheng Yi soldiers away with great fanfare, but in fact, he just went around in a circle and quietly drove back.

In response to the detailed actions of the thieves, who are full of loopholes, he deliberately makes people turn a blind eye, and can even deliberately reveal some wrong information to them.

The hard work paid off, and just a moment ago, the group of thieves went all the way deep into the interior as Zhao Wuxian expected. The beacon fire on the shore of the lake, as well as the scene of the people fleeing in a hurry along the way, are all traps laid by Ran Qiu without mercy, tempting the cunning and suspicious willow to fall into the trap of the urn.

And once you start looting the township, it is difficult to stop, which is the common trait of human greed.

Although the fire and solitary smoke of the artifact on the shore of the lake once again broke the established plan, it had to be sent at the end of the arrow.

After the shouts of killing and the smoke and dust, there were neat footsteps, and the Zhao Xuanniao flag was flying. The phalanx of infantry lined up in an arc broke through the dust and copied from the three breads. Agile cavalry swept through the rear of the bandits, ready to block the only way for the bandits...

Standing on a hill commanding and watching the battle, Zhao Wuxian's opponents looked like a rabble: bandits dressed in tattered shoes and tattered brown clothes followed their "generals" to the shore, with a bag of grain in their left hand and a chicken in their right.

The thieves didn't know what they were thinking, so they left half of the nearly 1,000 elites in armor on the island. Most of the two or three thousand men he carried were unarmed, except for scythes, sharpened bamboo spears, or rudimentary axes made of stone chips tied to sticks with leather ropes.

Zhao Wuxian's original intention was to subdue them, wanting them to end this nomadic life and return to the people of Qi, at least he could ensure that the people under his rule were well fed and clothed.

However, the way of dialogue and contact between the two sides is still spears and halberds, and only by defeating them by force can these people have a sense of fear.

But the thieves didn't even pay attention to the shouts of the soldiers to surrender and immortalize, and they were always greedy, and they ruthlessly abandoned the looted loot and made a posture of resistance.

And Liu Xia's command ability amazed Wuxian even more, he dangled a shot and used a trick gecko to cut off its tail. After leaving four or five hundred people to resist, they scattered with a bang. Like a flock of sparrows that have been scattered, they run in the direction of the most dense swamp of the stream.

That's exactly why Shirtless concentrates the Light Riders here. He waved his banner, and then more than a hundred light knights rode out from behind him, and in a team of ten, they attacked the fleeing bandits.

Chasing down stragglers with bows and spears has always been Yu Xi's favorite thing to do, and it is not surprising that today is a one-sided massacre like before.

However, Liu Xia had a way to deal with it, and the bandits who had been scattered everywhere in order to avoid the advancing phalanx suddenly gathered again. The latter turned the long bamboo spear outward, preventing the horses from rushing into the crowd. There is a faint posture of four martial arts rushing into formation. Dozens of slings threw stones out in unison, trying to knock down the horsemen, while the rest kept throwing something on the ground.

After a while, the thieves retreated farther and farther away, but the horses neighed, looked at the seemingly flat ground in front of them, and stopped moving, let the knight scold, the whip whipped, and the new invention spur poked the horse's belly out of the blood and did not want to go forward.

The cavalry was helpless. had to make a detour from the side, Zhao Wuxian also transferred with the command center, he hit the horse over, and took the things that Xing Ao picked up and handed over. Hey but laughing.

"It's thistle, this willow plantar is really an all-rounder, how afraid of us. I went ashore to loot and even brought thousands of these items, and each person had a ......."

Tribulus terrestris hardwood. It is in the form of tribulus terrestris, which is an imitation of people's observation of nature. Generally, only the regular princes and armies have it, and it is used to deal with the cart war horses without the protection of horseshoes, and the horses are afraid of pain and will not run, and the wheels will naturally not be able to roll. Now the thieves have learned and used them well, and they actually let people cut down a lot of wood before going ashore, and they have become a sharp weapon to restrain the cavalry.

The cavalry was blocked, and the phalanx of the infantry line also encountered certain difficulties.

Recently, Zhao Wuxian needs to divide his troops in too many places, such as the long Qilu border and Zhencheng, which confronts the defense of the country. Therefore, in addition to the five hundred soldiers on his hand, the remaining five hundred are all soldiers who have only been trained for half a year, lacking actual combat, and they are a little hurried when they go into battle for the first time.

It was no problem for them to use spear formations and sword and shield pushes to defeat the hundreds of bandits after they were broken, but the harsh training on weekdays made them afraid to leave the ranks, and the pursuit of changing formations was quite rusty. In addition, everyone wore armor and held long soldiers, and they didn't run as fast as the robbers, so they were pulled behind.

Zhao Wuxian had already noticed that the large and dense line phalanx could only be used for head-on combat, and was not suitable for guerrilla attacks in Huze, let alone for pursuit. This is also the reason why he has been slow to go deep into the lake and marsh militarily, but fortunately, Zhao Wuxian is already working on improvements, and today is the time to test.

At the same time, the bandits galloped unhindered into the swamp two miles away, and the chase was led into an area unfavorable to the cavalry.

The low-lying mud, swamps are everywhere, and it is difficult to advance and retreat, which is the troubled place of cavalry warfare; There is a deep ditch on the left, a pit on the right, uneven, seemingly flat, advance and retreat will attract the enemy's attack, this is the cavalry combat on the ground, both of these situations are the death of the cavalry battle,

Wise generals tried their best to avoid terrain unfavorable to their troops, and out of an abundance of caution, Zhao Wuxian Mingjin recalled them.

The foot soldiers also hurriedly ended the battle and gathered over, Mucha and Yu Xi let the enemy run away from under their noses, and pleaded guiltily, but Zhao Wuxian knew that they had done their best.

The original plan was to lure the robbers inland again and ambush them on the predetermined battlefield, but the thieves were too vigilant, and the sentry posts were scattered everywhere, and even the beacon fire by the lake was used by him. Therefore, the soldiers hurriedly ambushed the troops in all directions, but failed to complete the encirclement, especially the gap leading to the lake was too large to be blocked, which caused the ambush to fail to achieve complete success.

Zhao Wuxian threw away the thistle in his hand and said: "Competing with a cunning opponent like Liu Xiajiao, nothing is foolproof, in just one year, he has actually figured out our shortcomings, this person is really terrifying." ”

Robbers are not scary, they are afraid that robbers are cultured......

It is no wonder that there were countless bandits in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and only a few thieves left their names.

"It's not time to give up, the war is not over!"

Cheering on his soldiers, he pointed to the lake and said, "Do you see that new smoke?" It was Ziyou who burned the ships of the robbers, and they could run for a while, but they couldn't run for a lifetime. The cavalry circled the lake shore on the left and right wings, and let the foot soldiers change formations and speed up, hoping that the new formation that I had practiced could stop the group of thieves for a few more moments. If possible, he must be captured alive, and he will be indispensable in the future plan! (To be continued......)
