Chapter 245: Seize Siheung
Pei Shiju nodded again and again when he heard this, stroked his palms and laughed: "Hua Qiang, you still think about it, without further ado, let's move quickly, we can't let the thieves guarding the camp run away or have time to set fire to the grain." ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded and said: "Hongdae, then settle here, and the next matter of organizing the people to transport grain, I will trouble you and Li Tingshi, this matter also reminds me, I will go to occupy the camp now, and then capture Sixing overnight, and then contact you." ”
Pei Shiju also stood up and patted Wang Qianghua's shoulder: "Then it's hard for you to make a trip, you can rest assured about the things here, all the troops will be taken away, and they will be used to attack the city when they arrive in Shixing." ”
Wang Huaqiang said with a smile as he walked out: "There is no need to attack Shixing City, I will leave five hundred people here to help defend it." ”
After Wang Huaqiang left the city, he rode directly to the troops who were camping in the north of the city, and the soldiers were counting the results of each team in a tent set up temporarily, and the people and sergeants in the city were also helping the Xiangzhou sergeants who were digging the pit to throw the barbarian corpses inside, counting while throwing, three thousand grinning heads had been cut off and loaded, and the baggage soldiers were preparing to transport them to the city and pickle them with salt.
Wang Huaqiang rode to the place where he joined the army, and he didn't care about saluting everyone who saluted him, and said directly: "Quick, send an order, send a thousand people to set off with me, capture the camp of the barbarians, and three hundred people will set off now on pack horses." ”
Wang Huaqiang's order was carried out quickly, and the 20 sergeants immediately gathered urgently, and the people who were chasing on pack horses just now did not bother to take off the saddle sheath, but now they directly saved another set, and 300 people rode on horses and followed Wang Huaqiang to the barbarian camp in the east of the city.
Ran five or six miles. A wooden one. The camp within a radius of five or six miles appeared in front of Wang Huaqiang's eyes. The setting of the stockade is like that of the regular army, there is a watchtower at the door, the fence is made of sharpened wood, and there are all kinds of anti-impact things such as deer and trojan horses at the door, and the camp tents inside are also arranged neatly, and the only discord with this regular military camp is that there is no guard at the gate of this camp!
Wang Huaqiang waved his hand, and the cavalry dismounted. The two teams formed a battle formation and cautiously advanced inward, while the soldiers behind were armed with bows and crossbows, and in the event of an ambush, they would provide fire support as soon as possible.
The two teams of soldiers searched for a while, all the camp tents were empty, Wang Huaqiang was relieved, presumably the barbarians guarding the camp saw the defeat in front of them, and the whole army was annihilated, so they were so frightened that they fled directly, and there was no fire here. Presumably, these barbarians didn't even have time to burn the heavy grain and grass.
Wang Huaqiang led people to find 20,000 stone of grain from the warehouse in the camp, and piled up more than a dozen tall piles of rice. There are also more than 1,000 catties of bacon and cured meat, which are also piled up in the warehouse, and there are thousands of other weapons such as knives, spears, blows, crossbows, etc., all of which are piled up in the arsenal and left unattended.
Wang Huaqiang secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that these barbarians are really undisciplined, do not understand the art of war, and give so many military supplies to himself, he ordered the new 700 infantry to stay and guard the camp, and he returned to the north of the city with 300 cavalry, and ordered the people to take out the sandbags filled with soil, pour out the sand, put those heads in, a big sandbag can hold ten heads, tie the mouth tightly with hemp rope, throw it on the cart, put the pack horse back on the cart, leave 500 people into Donghengzhou to defend, and the others all march eastward with themselves.
This time back and forth, the record of joining the army to count the results of the battle is almost the same, this battle killed more than 15,600 enemies, and only three people were killed, eleven wounded, all of which were caused by the enemy's poisonous arrows, which can be described as a one-sided victory, Wang Huaqiang ordered the soldiers and people of Donghengzhou to step up the burial of the corpses before leaving, and also took away 300 people, and let them follow them to the camp in the east to transport food.
When Wang Huaqiang came to the camp with a large army, it was already evening, and everyone fought all day today, and they were very tired while being excited, and their eyes lit up when they saw the grain and meat full of warehouses, but Wang Huaqiang was still ruthless, and ordered all the troops to pull out, except for leaving two hundred people to help the three hundred people carry the grain, the others all went east, and marched to Shixing City.
When Wang Huaqiang arrived at Shixing City with an army of more than 2,000 people, it was already noon the next day, the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was also pulled up high, and hundreds of barbarians with broken hair and tattoos and big knives all boarded the city to defend, as if facing a great enemy, but their eyes revealed more fear and panic.
As soon as Wang Huaqiang saw the frame of the barbarians at the head of the city, he knew that they must have gotten the news of the barbarians who fled yesterday, and knew that the army was completely annihilated, but these people actually dared to defend the city, but it was a little unexpected to him.
Wang Huaqiang sneered, waved his hand, and the sergeants pushing the cart took out all the three thousand heads, and under the gaze of these barbarians in the west of the city, the heads were piled up into three hills.
When the barbarians at the head of the city saw this, they were so frightened that they were colorless, and a few timid ones were directly incontinent, Wang Huaqiang took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Listen to the barbarians at the head of the city, this general is the captain of the Great Sui Fengche, and Wang Huaqiang, the head of the Lingnan Road march, this time I am here to lead the heavenly soldiers to pacify you rebel barbarians."
More than 20,000 people in Zhou Shiju's department have been killed by our army, do you people think they are even more powerful than Zhou Shiju? Yesterday, Zhou Shiju stubbornly resisted to the end, this is the result of the department, and now Ben will read that God has the virtue of a good life, and allow you to open the city to surrender, and will be able to protect your life and safety, if I count three times, you still don't put down the drawbridge and open the city gate, once Ben will order the siege of the city, it will be a dead end, and no one will be left! ”
After Wang Huaqiang finished speaking, the wheat iron rod next to him quickly conveyed Wang Huaqiang's meaning in slang, and before the wheat iron rod finished speaking, a weak voice came from the city, speaking in half-baked Chinese: "General Wang, don't count, I'll wait for the wish to surrender!" “
Before he could finish speaking, the drawbridge fell straight down, and the city gate slowly opened. The barbarian banners at the head of the city were brought down, and the defenders marched out of the city gate, throwing all their swords to the edge of the city gate in a dejected manner, and piled them up in a large pile.
Mai Tiezhu commanded the captives to untie their trouser belts, tie each other's hands, and then fifty people formed a circle in a pile, while a barbarian general wearing leather armor and a leather helmet with the appearance of a leader was sandwiched by four guards, walked to Wang Huaqiang's horse, pressed his hand to his chest, and bowed to Wang Huaqiang: "Defeated general Li Guangshi, I have seen General Wang." ”
Wang Huaqiang glanced at this brute general, about thirty-four or five years old, his face was not smeared with oil paint, a deep scar was like a centipede, the two mustaches on his mouth were slightly upturned, and the two eyes were spinning around, in addition to being uneasy, there was also a trace of cunning.
Wang Huaqiang said coldly: "Li Guangshi, are you the defender of this Shixing City?" ”
Li Guangshi put on a smiling face, nodded and said: "Back to General Wang's words, the little one is not a guard, just a small lord, this time he was coerced by that Zhou Shiju, and had to follow him here. ”
Wang Huaqiang was happy all of a sudden: "Oh? To welcome the king? If Master Zhou wins, will you also welcome the king? Li Guangshi, your people have followed Zhou Shiju all the way and killed my Han people, and they will become little white rabbits now? Are you still going to ask the general to go to the court and ask for credit for you? ”
Li Guangshi waved his hand hurriedly and said: "General Wang, you have to be clear, the villain is really coerced by the Zhou Shiju, the villain's son, the people are few and weak, and they don't dare to disobey at all, along the way, although the villain is in the enemy camp, but his heart is to the court, and the villain has not done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, so the Zhou Shiju will leave the villain here to show him his home."
