Chapter 79: Surrender Before Fighting
Before the army set off, Liu Yuanshan ordered more than a dozen war horses, including Xu Liang, Erlang, Bian Keng, and Ergua each got one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is a status symbol, and walking in the crowd on horseback is also easy for the soldiers below to better recognize their superiors and facilitate the command of the battle.
"Let's go!" Xu Yong was draped all over his body, and he did have the majesty of a general on his horse, he stretched out his hand and raised his long knife, and then waved it forward, throwing it forward and walking forward.
Behind him were more than 200 of his own soldiers, and further back, there was Liu Yuanshan's black corps, which looked majestic, but as soon as the team walked away, it dispersed, revealing its original form.
However, this is also suitable for the march on the mountain road, and the phalanx is useless, and Xu Liang doesn't care.
What he cares about is the momentum, the numbers, and the majesty that terrifies the enemy.
"Brothers, let's go!" Jiro followed, directing the soldiers to march forward as he went.
The Demon King of the Mixed World, originally a refugee from Shaanxi, gathered a lot of refugees from Shaanxi at the same time in Longhu Town, about 2,000 people, usually robbed homes and houses, and robbed Liu Yuanshan's caravan.
However, the number of bandits in this wave was too much, and even if they swept the belongings of all the people nearby, it was still not enough to make ends meet, so they slowly targeted large households.
The big families in Longhu Town were naturally subjected to seedlings, and they were coerced and blackmailed all day long, and they lost their property for I don't know how much, and the government did not run away but it was useless at all. After waiting for several months, I didn't see anyone from the government to suppress the bandits.
The Demon King of the Mixed World became more and more bold, and while sacking Dragon and Tiger Town, he also extended his hand into other towns and villages. However, he was also afraid of the strength of the county, and did not dare to go deep into the direction of the county.
Longhu Town is not too far from Fang County, and it is even before Gushan Town, so although the number of the army is large, after lunch, four or five thousand people have already entered the territory of Longhu Town.
At about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he drove into Longhu Mountain, where the Demon King of the Mixed World was hiding in Dragon Tiger Town.
When the local people heard that the army of the government had come to encircle and suppress the bandits, they were all very happy, and they even had the children of rich families who came to finance the military salaries, and even more so, many young people came to ask to join the officers and soldiers to fight the bandits. It can be seen that the Demon King of the Mixed World has plagued the local people here.
"Good, good, good!" Xu Liang smiled, it was the first time in his life that he had this feeling of being loved by the people, he felt that he had done a great deed, and he was a real hero.
"Just camp here, put a fish scale array defense for me, and now surround this Dragon and Tiger Mountain for me, and here today, I will definitely wipe out this demon king of the mixed world!" As soon as he arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Xu Liang was busy deploying.
"Yes!" Erlang didn't play false, followed Xu Liang's order, and divided the entire army into four waves and stationed.
The first is the vanguard force, which is the main force of Liu Yuanshan, led by Erlang himself, and lives at the head of the entire camp, responsible for the first wave of fighting, and is also responsible for protecting the Chinese army behind.
The Chinese army is where Xu Liang is, and there are more than 200 people he brought, and according to his intentions, he will not be in the middle of the battle and will not go out to fight.
On the left and right are the winged armies, divided into two wings, which are responsible for supporting the vanguard of cover, but also for protecting the central army.
Xu Liang hid in the middle of the army like a king, as long as this team was not too bad, it was basically guaranteed that this attack would not be harmed.
And, if it succeeds, it will be a great achievement!
"This guy isn't stupid!" Jiro said with a sneer.
"Hehe, what about in the middle, can you escape from our palms?" Bian Keng and Edamame looked at Erlang and smiled ill-intentionedly.
"Then let's ......," Ergua asked in a low voice to the three.
"Do what you do!" Erlang is the most old-fashioned, especially when he is on the battlefield, he is usually two people, not only is he mature at the moment, but also his style of doing things is the same as usual.
"You lead the left and right wings to wait here, I will lead the vanguard to explore the way in the mountains first, don't our business has not been done, those bandits will come first." Jiro said to the three of them.
"Good!" Bian Keng nodded, took out a firework and handed it to Erlang, and said, "If there is a situation, light the fireworks, and I will take someone to pick them up." ā
Erlang reported to Xu Liang and told him his intentions.
Xu Liang was very happy, and said proudly: "It's okay, from now on, you are the vanguard general, it's okay to go over there and take a look, if you can win a small victory, the general will definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds, if there are many people on the other side, you will quickly retreat, and you will have your own general to deal with!" ā
"Yes, General!" Jiro was also unambiguous, and slowly walked towards the mountain with the people below.
Longhu Mountain is very large, and the bandits' lair is in the deep mountains, however, Erlang is not worried that those bandits will escape around the mountain, because behind Longhu Mountain, there is still a big mountain that cannot be seen, if two thousand bandits break through, it must be from the front of the mountain towards Longhu Town and nothing else.
Erlang Liu Yuanhuo led more than 600 people from the foot of Longhu Mountain to go around the mountain, and after a short time, he was submerged among the barren grass and yellow leaves, and lost his trace.
ā¦ā¦
On the other side, contrary to the excitement of the bandit army, the Demon King of the Mixed World was almost scared.
"What? You repeat? ā
In the simple cottage and the simple justice hall, a dirty little minion knelt on the ground and said to a fat man with one foot on the table: "King, what I said is true, and my subordinates dare not deceive!" It's really the government, they came to suppress the bandits, and after the villain saw it, he ran over non-stop. ā
"How many of them came?" The Demon King asked.
"I don't know!" The little minion replied truthfully: "The villain just glanced at the top of the mountain from a distance, and didn't see how many people there were, but there were many more people in the black pressure than ours!" ā
"Ah......h
"It's broken, it's broken!"
"If you are in charge, run away......"
As soon as he spoke, the others in the room screamed in fright.
"There are two thousand of them, too?" The Demon King of the Mixed World squinted his eyes and looked at the little minion and asked.
"No, no!" The little minion waved his hand: "There are many more than us, at least five or six thousand!" ā
"Fart, impossible!" How many troops Fang County has, the Demon King of the Mixed World still knows.
"Villains never deceive ......"
"Report ......" Before the little minion finished speaking, another person ran into the simple justice hall in a panic, panted and said: "King, it's not good, the government is here, and the vanguard has come up the mountain!" ā
"Ah, let's run!"
"Big boss, let's run!"
"I can't beat it!"
The leaders in the Hall of Justice were terrified.
What are you kidding, although there are 2,000 of them, although they are all adults, they are almost difficult to make ends meet on weekdays, and it is okay to go down the mountain in groups to bully the common people, and they are not dead when they meet officers and soldiers?
"What are you running? Look at your little bit of talent! "It's not that the Demon King of the Mixed World doesn't want to run, but he knows that if there are really four or five thousand officers and soldiers stationed outside, he won't be able to run even if he wants to.
"Big boss, is there a way?" A skinny scholar-looking man next to him poked his head out and asked.
"Hmm!" The big boss nodded, looking like he was in danger.
"Please come quickly, let's deal with it!" The scholar said with a frown.
"Ahem...... the big boss took a deep breath and said, "Xiucai, you go down the mountain and ask those officers and soldiers, can we do Zhao'an?" ā
"Poof......" Xiucai listened to his words, and almost fainted in front of him.
