(Thank you readers for your great support, thank you.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info)
Anfu Town is not a big place, the terrain is flat, everyone's wooden shed, at most, can ambush about 2,000 people, and the rest of the nearly 8,000 soldiers still need to ambush in the small hilly area. This time, Wu Shaogang gave an order, and the two thousand sergeants he brought from the urging army under the front division of the palace were all ambushed in Anfu Town, as the main force of the ambush battle.
This order made Zhang Binghui extremely happy.
Cai Siwei also has no opinion, the battle to capture Dazu County, Wu Shaogang handed it over to him, it is already very good.
The first action was the rebels stationed in Yongchuan, who quickly evacuated and came in the direction of Changyuan County, and the rebels stationed in Changyuan were also preparing for evacuation.
On November 4, the Yongchuan rebels entered the county seat of Changyuan.
On 5 November, the rebels stationed in Yongchuan and Changyuan counties all withdrew and marched in the direction of Luzhou.
It's winter, and the climate is unusually cold.
The rebels had just set off from the county seat of Changyuan, and snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
It's a pity that the rebels didn't dare to return to Changyuan County, they knew very well that sticking to Changyuan County was a dead end.
Anfu Town.
Looking at the increasingly dense snowflakes in the sky, Wu Shaogang thought of the situation when he had just crossed.
The snowflakes are falling, which is a romantic moment in the eyes of readers, but it is a pity that Wu Shaogang does not have such a blessing to enjoy.
"Zhang Binghui, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this battle, it depends on how you play."
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely annihilate the rebels and not let the rebels get away."
"Well, the rebels have more than 3,000 people, fleeing in a hurry, panicking, without the slightest combat effectiveness, in the face of such an army, if you can't win completely, then I will be very disappointed."
Zhang Binghui had not yet left the Chinese military tent, Ma Long came in to report, and the personal guards sent by Lu Wende were already waiting outside.
When the guards came in, the snowflakes on their bodies had not yet shaken off.
Wu Shaogang knew this personal guard, who was Lu Wende's personal personal guard, and after nodding, he took the letter from the personal guard.
The letter was written by Lu Wende himself, praising Wu Shaogang for recovering Changyuan and Yongchuan and other cities without blood.
Looking at this letter, Wu Shaogang's brows furrowed slightly.
All the deployment arrangements, Wu Shaogang did not report to Lu Wende, he was worried that the news would leak and cause unnecessary chaos, those strategists around Lu Wende were not broad-minded people, and some crooked ideas behind his back would put Lu Wende and Wu Shaogang in a dilemma.
From the content of the letter, Wu Shaogang still felt a little dissatisfied with Lu Wende.
The battle has not yet begun, and the rebels are taking the initiative to evacuate Yongchuan and Changyuan, which is not a victory at all, so there is no need to praise it.
Wu Shaogang was also very simple, sat down and began to write the letter, which was written in only a quarter of an hour.
After sealing the letter and handing it to the guards, Wu Shaogang threw Lu Wende's matter aside.
The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and it was past noon, and the rebels still hadn't reached Anfu Town.
Wu Shaogang stood motionless in the snow, and Yuan Shichun, who had been promoted to the captain of the personal guard, constantly helped to brush away the snowflakes on his body.
Wu Shaogang was a little anxious, the army was ambushed in Anfu Town, and the rebels were planned to arrive at noon.
The weather changes suddenly, the snowflakes fall, this is Wu Shaogang has no way to completely control, the snowy climate is not particularly cold, but the snowflakes fall, seeping into the armor, it is still a little uncomfortable, if you can't move well, the body will freeze unconsciously, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness.
The army ambushed in Anfu Town was the most elite army trained by Wu Shaogang himself.
If this army has big losses, Wu Shaogang really can't bear it.
"Yuan Shichun, you said how long it will take for the rebels to reach Anfu Town."
"My lord, the scout has just come to report, and it will take at least an hour or so."
"This weather, there is really something deliberately right."
"Don't worry, adults, brothers can withstand it, this bit of cold, everyone doesn't care at all."
"That being said, but the cold climate is not easy for everyone, especially the soldiers who set up ambushes, and they are frostbitten unconsciously, so it's not cost-effective, you go and tell the heralds, the soldiers in ambush, feel the body stiff, and you can move a little."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the herald and the scout came to report at the same time.
The rebels were less than five miles from Anfu Town.
The rebel ranks were still slow and bloated, and they didn't even send scouts to scout ahead.
At this time, Wu Shaogang calmed down, and when the herald sent by Zhang Binghui asked for instructions, Wu Shaogang replied a few words, ordering Zhang Binghui to directly command the battle, make a decision on the spot, and do not need to ask for instructions.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the battle began.
Wu Shaogang heard the shouts of killing, heard the neighing of war horses, and even heard the sound of Jin Ge crashing, and he had been trying to overcome his impulsiveness and not leave the Chinese military tent.
As the commander-in-chief, there is no need for Wu Shaogang to charge into battle in person, let Zhang Binghui and Cai Siwei command the battle, there is no need to interfere, that will make people at a loss.
At the beginning of the battle, Wu Shaogang looked up at the still gloomy sky and returned to the Chinese military tent.
The fight on the battlefield is completely one-sided.
The rebels had no ability to resist at all, Zhang Binghui led 2,000 soldiers and launched a charge, and the cavalry-based army tore apart the ranks of the rebels, and their main target was officers at all levels.
Sergeants constantly surrendered on their knees.
The strength of the army's charge, as well as its strong domineering, made Zhang Binghui and the others not fully anticipate it.
Faced with a tiger-like army, the rebels completely lost confidence before they could resist.
Zhang Binghui stabbed several officers of the rebels, and when he stabilized his figure, he found that the surroundings were full of rebels, and they were pressed in black.
Unless there are special circumstances, a surrendered sergeant is not allowed to be killed, unless he is ordered to do so by the commander.
Looking at these surrendered rebels, looking at their trembling bodies, and looking at their bloodless faces, Zhang Binghui was a little annoyed, what kind of battle is this, it is about to end just now, I originally wanted to show the abilities of my brothers, but unfortunately there was still no chance.
While he began to count the results of the battle and concentrate the rebel sergeants who had surrendered, he asked Malone to take command temporarily.
Zhang Binghui decided to personally report the situation of the battle.
The army led by Cai Siwei did not receive the order to attack, and still waited in the small hills.
Zhang Binghui looked in the direction of the small hill and ordered the herald to go and inform Cai Siwei that the battle was over.
In a few moments, Wu Shaogang came to Anfu Town.
The rebels who surrendered had been concentrated in the middle of the open space, and all their weapons had been collected.
Supplies such as grain and grass, including war horses and wagons, were also pooled without the slightest loss.
These grains, grasses and war horses belonged to Wu Shaogang.
In less than an hour, the battle was over, the battlefield was cleaned, only a dozen soldiers were killed, and nearly 3,000 rebels did not escape, such a brilliant victory, Wu Shaogang was not surprised at all.
This is just a small test, let Wu Shaogang know that the combat effectiveness of the two thousand soldiers is already very strong, and it can be said that in the future, in the face of the elite of the Mongolian iron cavalry, it will not fall behind at all.
Wu Shaogang felt relieved that his first goal had finally been achieved, and he had an unusually elite army, although the number of this army was obviously small.
As long as he can gain a foothold on Tongchuan Road, then the army under his command will continue to grow stronger, and it will be able to shake the world at that time.
Zhang Binghui, Cai Siwei and others around him all looked a little serious.
Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"What's the matter, the mood is obviously not good."
Zhang Binghui looked at Cai Siwei and opened his mouth with a fist.
"My lord, I wanted to fight hard, but who knew that these rebels were vulnerable...
After Zhang Binghui finished speaking, Cai Siwei also spoke.
"The sergeant under the command of the deputy marshal is extremely brave, and his subordinates are extremely admired. . . ."
Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly.
"This is just a small test, to put it mildly, it is still a fight between my Great Song army, these rebels were still my Great Song army not long ago, our real opponent is the Mongolian Tartars, the most elite iron cavalry in Mongolia, you will have the opportunity to fight in the future, don't be too anxious, you can't be fluttering because of the success of a battle, let alone because of your own strength, you can't think that the world is invincible."
After saying this, Wu Shaogang looked at Cai Siwei.
"Deputy Commander Cai, you once said that the Hezhou Imperial Army has not been formed for a long time, and the combat effectiveness is not particularly strong, the situation may be so, but you don't have to be anxious, the strength of the army's combat effectiveness requires a long time of sharpening, and it cannot be completed overnight.
These words are meaningful, everyone knows that the Hezhou Imperial Army is directly controlled by the emperor and the Privy Council, and Wu Shaogang, as the defense envoy of Tongchuan Mansion Road and the prefect of Luzhou, is not qualified to meddle in the affairs of the Hezhou Imperial Army.
Cai Siwei was also stunned for a moment.
Soon, Cai Siwei spoke.
"Deputy marshal, subordinates are willing to obey orders."
"That's good, starting tomorrow, Deputy Commander Cai will personally select a group of trustworthy officers, let Zhang Binghui and Ma Long and others start training, I also want to see their abilities, this is a big matter, you all understand."
After the battlefield was cleaned up and entered the house, Wu Shaogang thought for a while and began to write a letter to Lu Wende.
The battle is over, the results must be reported as soon as possible, and these captured rebels must also be handed over to the Chinese army for processing, and it is impossible for the front army to escort these rebels to continue the battle.
As for the next battle plan, Wu Shaogang already had a complete plan in his mind. (To be continued.) )
