Chapter 156: Three Thousand Against One Hundred Thousand
The Montenegrin Army was a loose force composed of dozens of rebellious peasants from different places, and although everyone carried the banner of the Montenegrin Army, in fact they went their own way and did not belong to each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What such forces are most afraid of is the fluctuation and dissipation of people's hearts.
Rumors that the Tiance army wanted to cut off the rear route of the Montenegrin army spread more and more, and some Montenegrin thieves who had grabbed the benefits in Hanoi quietly fled out of the city when Qu Shuai and the leader were not paying attention. Some of them plan to sneak back to Montenegro to continue their happy lives, while others are ready to flee to Jizhou, where they will live incognito and live an ordinary life again.
However, none of these scattered Black Mountain bandits could escape the pursuit of the erratic Tiance Army outside the city, and as long as they slipped out of the various cities, they would definitely be caught.
After the Tiance army captured them, they did not make a statement, all their property was confiscated, and everyone was escorted to Kuicheng for collective care, as long as there were enough 1,000 people, Chen Tao, who was stationed at Tianjing Pass, sent a team of soldiers to come and escort all these prisoners away.
The Montenegrin army was good at fighting guerrillas, and Lu Bu just wanted his troops to learn this method of guerrilla warfare, so he took the fleeing Montenegrin army as the object of training. As far as the Tiance Army is concerned, how to deal with guerrilla tactics is a direction of training that needs to be adhered to for a long time. Later, when they came to the steppes of the north, when dealing with nomads, they were born masters of guerrilla warfare, and if they did not have sufficient means, they could only work in vain.
Yu Poison's subordinates quietly fled the most, just because they had seen the horror of the Tiance Army with their own eyes. One cavalry of the Tiance Army dared to shoot horizontally, and ten cavalrymen dared to chase and kill a thousand people. Now Hanoi has a full 3,000 Tiance elite horses, and Lu Bu personally leads the team, as long as you think about it, it will make people feel numb.
Yu Poison personally captured a group of subordinates who wanted to escape, and in order to deter the rest, he ordered that all these subordinates who tried to escape be killed.
However, this did not do much. Because Yu Poison placed the main force in Shanyang City, his control over Yongcheng's side was weaker, and as a result, after he killed people, the four thousand Black Mountain people in Yongcheng did not listen to his military orders at all and fled in all directions.
This time, the Tiance army did not come out to capture the Montenegrin prisoners, but directly entered Yongcheng and rescued all the 5,000 Hanoi people who were originally guarded in the city. These ordinary people, who had had enough of all kinds of hardships, did not wait for the Tiance army to encourage them to go to Bingzhou, so they begged the Tiance army one after another to protect them from Hanoi and take refuge in Bingzhou.
Although they all went to merge with the state, the people took the initiative to ask for it and were encouraged by the Tiance Army to go over. This is somewhat similar to bargaining in business, where whoever can't hold back first is in a position to be dominated by the other party.
Lü Bu and these people have three chapters of the law, namely: those who move must obey the management of the Tiance army; After arriving in the annexed state, they must obey the assignment of the Tiance Prefecture; After settling in the counties, they must obey the arrangements and dispatches of local officials. The people of Yongcheng who have escaped from the predicament have no objection to this, and now as long as they can be allowed to go to the state alive, it is easy to say anything else.
The escape of the Black Mountain people in Yongcheng had a great impact on the Black Mountain Army in Shanyang City. Some of Yu Poison's subordinates secretly connected with each other, preparing to kill Yu Poison and flee for their lives. Yu Poison found signs that his subordinates were preparing to rebel, and hurriedly sent people to Kwai Cheng with white flags, expressing to Lu Bu that he was willing to give up Shanyang County, and release all the Hanoi people who were imprisoned in the city, and then returned to Montenegro with his original subordinates, hoping that Lu Bu would speak his word and not send cavalry to chase and kill.
Lü Bu agreed to Yu Poison's request and sent flying horsemen to spread the news throughout the counties of Hanoi.
Two days later, Yu Poison withdrew from Shanyang County to the east with the remaining 6,000 troops, and was not attacked by the Tiance army along the way.
More than 20,000 people in Shanyang County were successfully saved, and some of the large households with land refused to leave Hanoi, while the really poor tenants were attracted by the superior conditions offered by the Tiance army and expressed their willingness to go to Bingzhou to participate in the Tuntian Frontier.
Yu Poison's withdrawal had a great impact on other Montenegrin forces in Hanoi. Originally, the various forces were still waiting, and the withdrawal of the Yu Poison Department was like digging a gap in a dike, which made them begin to waver, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to withdraw to Montenegro.
Huang Long realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly sent people to the stations of other forces to lobby, hoping that everyone would share the same hatred and not be intimidated by the Tiance Army. However, it was impossible for the people he sent out to reach the stations of other forces.
The Flying Cavalry Battalion had already taken the Huanglong Department as its main target, and had built a tight warning net on the plain more than 100 miles wide from Kuicheng to Yewang to Wenxian, and anyone who tried to pass through this net was caught by the Tiance Army and sent to the prisoner camp in Kuicheng.
Hu Cai couldn't help but suggest to Huang Long again that he quickly gather troops to break through from one direction, otherwise he would be isolated and helpless, and finally be trapped and killed in Hanoi by the Tiance army.
Huang Long never saw the people he sent out return, and his heart became more and more uneasy, although he did not know if the other forces had withdrawn, but his position this time was indeed very disadvantageous, because although the territory he occupied was vast, it was too far away from Montenegro.
Huang Long gathered all his subordinates, took the captured people of Hanoi with him, set out from Po County, and walked east along Qinshui.
There are 10,000 people, and it is difficult to see the head and tail at the same time when walking in the wilderness, and Huang Long led the crowd back to Montenegro this time, and the number exceeded 100,000, which can be described as boundless.
As soon as the Huanglong tribe made a move, Lu Bu received the news, and he immediately gathered all the cavalry, and then set up a formation on the east bank of the Qinshui in the Yewang area, waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Dragon.
Huang Long divided his huge army into ten parts, each of which numbered more than 10,000, more than half of whom were Hanoi people, and the rest were his subordinates.
He knew that Lu Bu would not let him go back to Montenegro easily, so he adopted this method of letting the soldiers go forward with the people of Hanoi, and also divided the team into ten parts from north to south, he wanted to see how the three thousand cavalry could deal with his 100,000 army!
When Lu Bu received the news from the front and learned that Huang Long had divided the team into ten parts and was preparing to cross the river at the same time from a range of thirty miles wide, his mood suddenly became a little bad.
Huanglong, this guy is really hateful! He actually intended to pull the people of Hanoi as a shield!
Even if Lu Bu wanted to directly attack Huanglong's headquarters, it would be difficult to find out Huanglong's location in the first place when facing ten teams of the same size. And once Huang Long escaped among these teams, this interception would be considered a failure.
When the 100,000 people fled separately, it was impossible for the 3,000 cavalry of the Flying Cavalry Battalion to capture them all under any circumstances, and once too many people in Hanoi were injured by mistake, the reputation of the Tiance Army in Hanoi would deteriorate, and Lü Bu's plan to transfer more people to Bingzhou would be in vain.
