Chapter 947: The White Pole Shows Its Might
readx; Ma Qianxue is right, malaria is not so easy to get better. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoDespite taking a decoction made from Artemisia annua, Li Dingguo had another attack that day, but the symptoms were not as severe as the last time. The reason why I was able to kill the enemy in the early morning was just because I happened to catch up with the intermittent period of symptoms.
The main general fell ill, and it was such a serious illness that the whole army was of course very anxious. According to the meaning of Ma Qianxue and other generals, it is still important to recuperate, since An Bangyan is unwilling to attack easily, he has to withdraw to Wufeng Mountain or even Yongning first, and wait for Li Dingguo's illness to be a little lighter.
Li Dingguo supported the sick body and insisted: "Absolutely not, how can I abolish the plan to pacify the southwest because of me!" After taking the decoction prepared by Miss Ma, I already feel much better, and I will no longer go into battle in person later. Our army has been successful in harassing Bijie several times, and I expect that the rebels will be impetuous, and may soon send a small force to reconnoitre. We must be ready to wipe out these small forces and force Ahn to send a large army. ”
Sure enough, because An Bangyan was harassed by the officials and soldiers several times in succession, he didn't rest all night, and his eyes were red. Although the two battles were short and small, the fact that the rebels suffered hundreds of casualties and no casualties among the officers and soldiers made An Bangyan feel very angry.
In addition, Yu Chongming has also been pouting him, saying that the official army plus the white pole soldiers, there are only about 10,000 people when they are full, and they have to garrison Chengdu, Chongqing, Yongning and other important places, how many can be sent out to attack Bijie? I'm afraid it's only two or three thousand at most. Even if the official army is good at fighting, there are 20,000 local soldiers in Bijie City, and ten to fight one is a sure victory in any case.
An Bangyan was gradually moved by what Yu Chongming said, thinking that as long as he could annihilate this official army, the officers and troops in Yongning and even Chongqing would not dare to act rashly again, and he could continue to besiege Guiyang without distraction. After taking Guiyang, he, the "King of Luodian", will be powerful in the southwest, and there will be more toasts to vote, and he will be even more afraid of the officials and soldiers at that time.
Therefore, he has secretly made up his mind to eat this pesky official army in one bite. However, he has always been cautious, on the one hand, he sent people to Dafang, Zhijin, Weining and other cities to transfer troops, preparing to gather an absolutely superior force of 50,000 people; On the other hand, a reconnaissance team of several hundred people, divided into more than 10 squads, was dispatched to go into the dense forest to search for traces of the officers and soldiers. When the reconnaissance team finds out the specific number of officers and soldiers, camps, and other information, the army will be assembled, and then they can kill the officers and soldiers in one go, leaving not a single piece of armor.
However, now that the rebels are in the open and the white pole soldiers are in the dark, every move of the rebels will naturally not hide from the eyes of Li Dingguo and others. As soon as the reconnaissance unit of several hundred people left the city, the lookout post hiding in a big tree in the distance saw it from afar and quickly reported it to Li Dingguo and Ma Qianxue.
Li Dingguo said calmly: "Although our main purpose is to lure the enemy rather than fight, if we don't hurt An Bangyan a little, he won't leave the lair easily." Miss Ma, I can't move now, and this battle will be under your command. Isn't the rebel reconnaissance unit divided into more than a dozen teams? We also divided the whole army into more than a dozen routes, and gave him a full order! ”
Since Li Dingguo was moved to tears, Ma Qianxue's attitude towards him has also improved a lot. Just now, she has been personally taking care of Li Dingguo's condition, and now Li Dingguo has handed over the responsibility of this battle to herself, Ma Qianxue felt that Li Dingguo attached great importance to herself, and she was very excited. Just as she was about to go out to lead the troops to meet the enemy, Li Dingguo stopped her again and said: "But each team should not kill all the enemy troops, it is better to let one or two go." ”
"Why is that?" Ma Qianxue was puzzled.
"The purpose is for Ahn Bangyan to find out our strength." Li Dingguo gasped a little weakly and said, "We have dispatched a total of 2,500 white pole soldiers this time, not too much and not too little, and it is an excellent target for the rebels. An Bangyan is cunning and suspicious, and if he doesn't find out what we are, he won't easily get out of the hole. ”
Ma Qianxue suddenly realized, no longer said more, and left a few of his most trusted personal soldiers to take care of Li Dingguo, and then walked out of the shack to gather the whole army, raised his arms and shouted: "The rebels dare to attack with hundreds of people, obviously looking down on our white pole soldiers, what should we do?" ”
The White Pole Soldier has always been stoic and brave, and he has never been afraid even in the face of more and stronger enemies. When he heard that the rebels dared to defy him, he immediately became angry and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers had been successfully mobilized, Ma Qianxue immediately divided the troops and sent generals, and divided the white pole soldiers into ten teams, each with 200 people, led by a partial general. Leaving 500 men to protect the camp, she herself led a group of white pole soldiers into the jungle and quickly approached the rebel reconnaissance force.
The area is inaccessible and full of dense primeval forest, where the view is obscured just a few steps away, and there are sometimes beasts and birds chirping. Therefore, when the rebel detachment was horrified to find that the white pole soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were searching in the opposite direction, the distance between the two sides was already within fifteen zhang! There are only one or twenty people in their small team, and the other party is a few hundred, how can they be opponents?
So the rebels turned and ran, but it was too late. The white pole soldiers are Qin Liangyu's elite troops carefully selected from more than 100,000 young men of the Yi nationality in Shiyan, and they are built with hard training, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of ordinary officers and soldiers. However, they chased them to a distance of one foot behind the rebels, and waved their white-pole guns in their hands and swept towards the rebels.
Although the name of the white pole gun is "gun", it is actually a crescent-shaped iron hook with sharp blades on both sides. When fighting, the convex side can be used as a large sword, while the recessed side can be used to hook people. The rebels were unlucky, and were hooked to their necks by sharp iron hooks, which immediately cut their hamstrings and fell to the ground screaming. And the white pole soldiers were also unceremonious, grabbing the first two steps and cutting down with the convex side of the iron hook, only to hear the sound of "click" and "bone" endlessly, and the wounded rebels were all in different places, and the death was miserable!
In just one meal, more than ten teams and hundreds of rebel reconnaissance troops were killed by the white pole soldiers, and only twenty or thirty people remained, and the ghost cried wolf and returned to Bijie City. This is what Ma Qianxue deliberately let them run back, otherwise with the terrifying attack power of the white pole soldiers, none of these people would want to escape.
Seeing such heavy casualties among his subordinates, An Bangyan finally became furious. After listening to the reports of the defeated soldiers with a gloomy face, he pinched his fingers and calculated: "More than a dozen teams of scouts, each team has encountered one or two hundred officers and soldiers. In this way, there are 2,000 officers and soldiers, and he doubles the number, and it is not about 4,000. Assemble the whole army at once, and I will make them return with interest! ”
