Chapter 32: Suppressing Bandits (2)
As General Liu's recruits gradually strengthened their minds, a thousand recruits soon broke through. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although they lost nearly 100 people, the bandits suffered significantly more damage, more than 200 people.
As soon as Cao Wei saw that General Liu and they had broken through, he hurriedly took the remaining 4,000 recruits and went straight to the belly of Mojian Mountain.
The two armies are about to merge!
On a small peak in Mojian Mountain, five rough men stared gloomily at the officials and bandits who were about to fight below, and from time to time someone cursed in a low voice.
"This group of homeless people really didn't work, and they fled before they could get into hands with the officials and soldiers, and they caused our brothers in vain."
"Who's to say it isn't? I didn't agree to co-opt them at the beginning, but now that it's okay, it's attracted to the encirclement and suppression of the official army, what can we do? ”
Hearing the chatter of several men behind him, the first of the five frowned and shouted, "Shut up." ”
The person who spoke was none other than Wang Xiongxin, the big boss of the bandits in Mojian Mountain.
Hearing the boss's words, the rest of the leaders didn't dare to speak, Wang Xiongxin looked at the second boss beside him and asked, "Mao Gong, what do you think?" ”
Li Maogong, the second master, sighed lowly: "I thought that I could break these 5,000 officers and soldiers with a little trick, I don't want there to be masters in the official army, and now our large army is hidden at the entrance of the mountain, ready to disperse the 4,000 officers and soldiers, but in this way, we don't have enough troops to eat the 1,000 officers and soldiers in the mountain!" ”
Wang Xiongxin pondered for a moment: "Then in your opinion, will these 4,000 officers and soldiers still enter the mountain?" ”
Li Maogong smiled incomprehensibly: "Although the 1,000 officers and soldiers who entered the mountain ran away, it is obvious that it was because we didn't do our best, and the master in the official army must have guessed that we would set up an ambush, do the leaders think they still have the courage to enter the mountain?" ”
"I see, the ambush you set up by Duke Mao turned out to be not only for ambush, but also to deter officers and soldiers at critical times! In this way, the officers and soldiers can be regarded as knowing how powerful we are, and we can still get away with it for a few days in a short time. Wang Xiongxin's face improved, and he patted Li Maogong's shoulder heroically.
"Whereever, whereever, I'm just ......." Li Mao was about to be modest, but his eyes suddenly fell on the 1,000 officers and troops led by General Liu.
"Not good, one step less." Li Maogong exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xiongxin asked.
Li Maogong pointed to the new army led by General Liu, and said tremblingly: "I have calculated a lot, but I have missed this thousand officers and soldiers. If these 1,000 officers and soldiers come back and form a siege with the officers and troops outside the mountain, our brothers who are ambushed at the entrance of the mountain will definitely be searched, and they will ...... by then. ”
When Wang Xiongxin heard this, his beard stood up, and he scolded: "Li Maogong, Lao Tzu is your grandmother." ”
After scolding, Wang Xiongxin didn't care about cleaning up Li Maogong, a dog-headed military division, and hurriedly ordered the bandits who were ambushed at the entrance of Mojian Mountain to retreat.
At this time, Cao Wei had already entered the hinterland of Mojian Mountain with four thousand recruits, and it was too late for the bandits in ambush to retreat.
Seeing this, Wang Xiongxin was even more startled, and hurriedly ordered to withdraw to the mountain regardless of everything, and not to contact the officials and soldiers.
The bandits at the entrance of Mojian Mountain got the order, and they couldn't hide anymore, so they picked up their swords and began to run, scrambling as if there were floods and beasts behind them.
At the entrance of Mojian Mountain, Zhao Gu and Cao Wei looked at the bandits who had not yet been discovered by them with strange expressions, and their hearts were quite mixed.
My group came all the way over, and it was such a bunch of goods that I had to deal with?
This is your territory, can't you just run away along the path quietly?
Looking at the bandits who were messing around like a hornet's nest, Cao Wei quickly gave the order to shoot.
I saw an overwhelming rain of arrows falling, and bandits who could not escape were shot and fell on the side of the road.
There was even the timid bandit, who squatted on the ground in fright in the face of the rain of arrows from the official army, holding his head and trembling.
Seeing this, the recruits became more and more emboldened, and pursued all the way, shooting arrows as they pursued, and drove the bandits into the mountains.
Cao Wei collected his troops at the right time and cleaned up the battlefield, and the recruits wrapped the bodies of their comrades and lined them up outside Mojian Mountain.
The bodies of the recruits will be transported back to their families upon the return of the recruits.
As for the corpses of the bandits, the recruits dug a big hole in the mountain at random, threw them all into it, and then were hastily buried.
According to statistics, the casualties of the new army this time were not large, only the 1,000 new troops under General Liu died more than 60 dead and wounded more than 40, and the other 4,000 recruits were unscathed.
As for the bandits, they were not so good, they first killed more than 200 people in General Liu's breakthrough, then killed more than 600 people by a wave of arrows from the recruits, and finally they were chased and killed by the recruits, and more than 100 people died, and the total casualties reached nearly 1,000.
There were also more than 200 captured bandits, all of whom were imprisoned by the recruits, and when the local government sent someone to receive them, these 200 people would at least be imprisoned for life, and in serious cases, they would even be ordered to be beheaded.
At first, no one expected that this bandit war would be so easy, and the recruits eliminated 1,200 bandits at the cost of more than 100 casualties, which has to be said to be a miracle.
In Cao Wei's tent, after listening to the advice of his soldiers, the people in the tent all smiled.
Cao Wei glanced at everyone, and suddenly got up and bowed to Zhao Gu: "This time, Mr. Quannai pointed out, and I thank Mr. on behalf of the five thousand recruits." ”
Zhao Gu was stunned, an arrogant person like Cao Wei could bend down?
Hurriedly helping him up, Zhao Gu said with a smile: "This battle is completely arranged by the general alone, and I didn't make any efforts." ”
Cao Wei smiled bitterly: "Mr. is too humble, if you hadn't reminded me at that time, how could I have come up with this solution?" If I'm not mistaken, you already expected what would happen after General Liu and the others entered the mountains for three miles, but they didn't encounter resistance, right? ”
The other generals were in an uproar, not knowing whether what Cao Wei said was true or not.
If what he said is true, then isn't the young Zhao joining the army in front of him too godly?
Zhao Gu touched his nose and nodded helplessly. Although this Cao Wei reacted slightly slower than himself, he has to say that he is really powerful and can always guess his own thoughts.
This feeling Zhao Gu actually had very early on, when he hijacked Su Xiaocheng to escape from prison, thought of many ways, and arranged several tricks, but he was always able to be seen through by Cao Wei.
I have to admit that Cao Wei can be regarded as Zhao Gu's bosom friend.
Seeing Zhao Gu admit, Cao Wei was not much surprised, in fact, he had already determined in his heart, and asking him was just to verify it.
The other generals were stunned, it turned out that Zhao had really calculated everything! He's just amazing!
