Chapter 44: Sinister Intentions

This Li Bao is obviously not a material to lead troops, and it is estimated that he has never fought. The army on the opposite side of the house was small in number, and the battle was fought in a very orderly manner. The archers fired, taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy army, the cavalry attacked, and the infantry took the opportunity to withdraw. All of them are carried out in an orderly manner, where is it like a rout?

While arranging the troops, Li Bao arranged for people to go back to report to Lin Shihong of Yuzhang that they had caught up with a rout, numbering about 2,000 people, with more than 200 cavalry.

Li Ba began to attack again, and four or five thousand troops were overwhelmingly advancing, and the marching squadron was disorganized and disorganized. Since defeating the Sui army and achieving a great victory, Li Bao has become arrogant, and he probably didn't take the Great Sui Xiaoguo army in his eyes at all.

For two days in a row, Lu Chang adopted the old routine, three rounds of bows and arrows were fired in turns, and the last round of bows and arrows and crossbow arrows were fired in a volley, the cavalry was dispatched, and the infantry was evacuated. Li Ba became more and more happy the more he fought, thinking that the Sui army was invincible. The news he sent back to Yuzhang Lin Shihong one after another was that the Sui army was retreating, and they were pursuing.

Lu Chang led the cavalry to attack for two rounds and then stopped leading the troops, replacing Shangxiong Kuohai to lead the cavalry to assault.

In the end, Li Ba's army became less and less. At first, Li Bao didn't care, how could he not die in a war? But on the third day, Li Ba suddenly found that he only had 7,000 soldiers in his hands.

Nima, what's going on?

Li Ba saw that he couldn't go on like this anymore, and he had to fight quickly. Li Ba gritted his teeth, and the entire army was all on the line, and 7,000 people participated in the attack in one go.

Is 7,000 a lot? Lu Chang had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and if he wanted to eat Li Ba's army, he would have wiped them out long ago. Isn't it because you want to train with Li Ba's army?

By this time, the entire recruit had already taken turns twice, and Lu Chang didn't have the patience to deal with Li Ba, so he decided to eat this army. Lu Chang began to arrange his troops, arranged thousands of troops on the left and right flanks of the enemy, and led his cavalry to attack from the rear.

Just as Li Ba began to attack, Lu Chang and a cavalry had already circled behind Li Ba, preparing to completely destroy them.

Li Ba didn't know, but he still attacked according to the old routine.

The infantry finished firing three rounds of arrows, and the last round of bows and arrows and crossbow arrows were fired together, and then, Xiong Kuohai led the cavalry to start and assault Li Ba's army. And the armies on both flanks are also pressing in the middle.

Li Ba was shouting and scolding the soldiers for resisting the attack of the cavalry, but he found that there were troops on the left and right, and the left and right flanks were not good.

When Li Ba was thinking about how to deal with it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, it was broken, and there was another cavalry behind him, and the number was more than two hundred. The leader of the generals is the one who has just begun to lead the troops.

No, he had to withstand the flanking attack from behind, and Li Ba beat his horse and ran back to meet Lu Chang.

Lu Chang had just rushed behind the enemy, but he saw a general rushing out of the enemy's formation, and at a glance, he was the leader of this army.

Lu Chang's war horse didn't slow down at all, and rushed directly towards Li Ba, shouting loudly: "Kill!" ”

The Eight Overlord Lance stabbed at Li Ba, and Li Ba danced his weapon to isolate Lu Chang's Overlord Gun. What strength Lu Chang has! Is it strange that a nameless player like Li Ba can stop it?

Li Ba's weapon hit Lu Chang's overlord lance, but he didn't move the overlord lance for half a point at all, and the overlord lance still stabbed straight into Li Ba's chest.

Lu Chang picked it up with a lance in his hand, and Li Ba's body broke away from the war horse and was picked up in the air.

"The head of the thief is dead, and if you want to die alive, drop your weapon and surrender on your knees!"

Lu Chang picked up Li Ba's body and shouted loudly, and the cavalry behind him shouted together: "The thief leader is dead, if you want to die to drop your weapons and surrender on your knees!" ”

These thousands of thieves were originally flanked from front to back, left and right, and the people were panicked, but now when they heard that the leaders were dead, they suddenly lost their fighting spirit. I saw that there was also a fierce man in front of me, everyone was afraid of being killed, where did they dare to resist.

At dusk, the battle was over, and Lin Shihong's 10,000 troops were completely reimbursed.

In this war, Lu Chang trained Lin Shihong's army, and all 10,000 recruits were rotated for more than one round, but the cavalry was not all rotated. However, all the cavalrymen who followed the general to kill the enemy saw the general's might, and almost all the cavalry had great admiration for the new commander.

When they returned to the army, they naturally talked about the course of the war and let the other soldiers share their excitement. As a result, all the cavalry knew that the new commander Lu Chang had superb martial arts and strong command ability, which was many times stronger than the original so-called Liu Ziyi, the so-called secretary and servant.

This army, which is not his descendant, has gradually returned to his heart from this day.

In a war, Lu Chang's purpose of training troops was achieved, and at the same time, he also conquered the hearts of all the soldiers and soldiers, so that this army had a certain cohesion.

The army returned triumphantly, and when it returned to the camp, the whole army immediately got busy. Lu Chang selected educated people from the army to come out and register the more than 5,000 captives one by one.

The name, place of origin, specialty, and family of each captive were recorded in the register one by one, and then classified, and those suitable for infantry were gathered together, and those suitable for archers were grouped together. Of course, the southerners have fewer cavalry talents, but there are quite a lot of craftsmen.

After the finishing was completed, the infantry and archers were divided from these captives according to their specialties, and those who were weak and not suitable to be soldiers were assigned to the baggage army.

There are hundreds of craftsmen of various skills, who are included in the conscription, ready to be useful in the future.

After the end of the war, the next day, Lu Chang ordered most of the new army to withdraw to the rear camp in the direction of Poyang, leaving only the Xiaoguo army in the Yuzhang area.

Of course, Lu Chang's retreat was not an ordinary withdrawal of the army, but the dispatch of the army to evacuate the surrounding people together. The army went to the countryside and preached that the bandits were coming, and that they were as large as locusts, and that they were so ferocious that there were no men or animals everywhere they passed.

The peasants were frightened by their demagoguery, and the deterrent power of the army, so they had to evacuate with the army with their food. Some people who stubbornly did not want to leave, the Yugoslav army was not polite, and directly resorted to force them to evacuate.

Fortunately, the population of the area south of the Yangtze River was not very dense during this period, and the population of the Great Sui Dynasty was more than 40 million, mainly concentrated in the Central Plains, and the most populous were Jizhou Road, Yuzhou Road, Yanzhou Road and Qingzhou Road.

Lu Chang's evacuation of the people was purposeful, he wanted to clear the township and leave Lin Shihong with an empty territory. Lu Chang believes that a rebel army like Lin Shihong who has just started his army will not have a complete series of formations, and there will not be too much grain and grass with him, so it is estimated that he will grab it wherever he goes.

I leave you an empty place, when you have no food and grass, you have no place to grab food, starve to death you! Lu Chang is despicable and ruthless enough!

These people who were forcibly evacuated were all handed over by Lu Chang to the counties in the rear to be responsible for receiving help, but fortunately, there were not many people, otherwise no one would be able to stand it.

Lu Chang's sinister intentions, Lin Shihong of Yuzhang City didn't know, he was still waiting for the good news from Li Bao on the front line.

Lin Shihong would not have calculated it by a thousand calculations, and his 15,000 troops were wiped out by the so-called 2,000 Sui Dynasty troops.
