Chapter 36: History Continues (2)
After leaving with his people, he withdrew directly to the territory of the tribe. Now that Zhang Yi is dead, they are back to living a self-sufficient life and do not need to be enslaved anymore. However, Guo Tai, the leader of the White Wave Army, sent someone to contact Xu Bu, hoping that he could lead the Tu tribesmen to come to his aid and defeat the army in front of him, and they were willing to divide the looted assets equally afterwards. Su Bu felt that this was a good deal, so he agreed to lead his people to help the Bai Bo army.
Although the side of the state army was strong, because their immediate boss was killed and the base camp in the rear was also copied, most of the soldiers were a little out of state. After the morale of the army was affected, the combat power began to decline a little, so Zhang Yang was only struggling to support at this time.
Within a few days, the Baibo army assigned a part of the men, led by the Baibo generals Yang Feng and Han Xianam, to plunder elsewhere. These two armies plundered the towns and villages near Jinyang all the way, burning and looting everywhere they passed, most of the officials abandoned the city and fled, and the people suffered many casualties. Later, Zhang Liao led the army to attack them, but Yang Feng had a general named Xu Huang, who was good at using a Xuanhua axe, and his combat effectiveness was called strong. Because Zhang Liao lost the weapon in his hand, he was not allowed to fight him down. Seeing that their young generals could be so brave, the morale of the army immediately increased greatly, and they all attacked the Bingzhou soldiers without fear of death, and after a fierce battle for a long time, they finally suppressed the momentum of the Bingzhou soldiers with only a few thousand people.
Zhang Liao saw that the other party was strong, so he abandoned Xu Huang and led the army to retreat to the city, and then held on to the city. Although the forces in the hands of Yang Feng and Han Xian were several times that of Zhang Liao, they were unable to break through the city for a while. As a result, Yang Feng stayed behind to continue to attack Zhang Liao, while Han Xian led his men and horses to continue to plunder north.
However, he said that the purpose of this trip of these white wave thieves was only to loot materials to help them survive, and they did not try to conquer the city and overthrow the imperial court. As a result, when they have enough supplies to survive, they will immediately retreat to their base camp, which is usually their usual practice.
Jinyang is not far from Huo Village, but it is only a hundred kilometers, and in just a day or two, some refugees have fled to the vicinity of Huo Village. We activated the contingency plan to temporarily settle the fleeing people in the village, and sent scout teams out to investigate, and come back at any time to report the situation.
Following the mountain range to the south, in the area 30 kilometers away from Huo Village, there is a mountain road about three or four kilometers horizontally and about one or two kilometers longitudinally, which is called Payangou; More than ten kilometers to the northwest, there is a curved and narrow valley road, called Phoenix Valley. But he saw Feng Xian pointing to these two places and said: "There are many white wave thieves and horses, and they will definitely go north from the main road of Puyangou, and we will ambush a team of men and horses here to ambush; Then, another strange army was sent to bypass from the Phoenix Valley and raid the rear of the thief army. ”
I said, "The journey to the Phoenix Valley is about thirty kilometers, and the distance is a bit far, so you have to send a light horse to it; Brother, you are good at commanding light cavalry, and the matter of raiding the enemy's rear will be left to you, and I will take a team of men and horses to be responsible for guarding the paved rock ditch. ”
Feng Xian nodded and said, "Okay, without further ado, we will go our separate ways immediately." ”
Immediately, we selected two thousand heavily armed militiamen, one thousand and three infantry, two hundred heavy cavalry, and five hundred light cavalry. Subsequently, I led the infantry and heavy cavalry to the Puyan Ditch to ambush, and Feng Xian led 500 light cavalry to attack from the Phoenix Valley.
Speaking of which, this is the first time in my life that I have actually gone to the battlefield, and I have only killed animals before, but now I want to kill people, which is a little unpleasant in my heart. Nobita, I left him in the village and left him and the rest of the militia in charge of protecting the people in the village.
On the way to Puyangou, we met scouts who had returned from exploration, and through the scouts' exploration, we learned that the Baibo army was looting in the area of Langmeng County (now Yangqu County), but it was strongly resisted by the local people, and it was not clear when they would be able to come to Puyangou.
What is this, our arrangement has not played a role, and those white wave thieves who dare to love have been dragged by the people. Yes, it is said that the people of the state are strong, and what they said is true. I think this will be able to strike decisively, and I can beat those bandits to the ground.
Immediately, I left 200 infantry to defend the paved rock ditch, and led the rest of the men and horses to attack decisively. At this moment, the people are being invaded by the bandits, and I cannot sit back and watch them being taken captive by the thieves at will. It is only nearly 20 kilometers from Puyangou to Langmeng County, which is not too far.
We had just driven a few kilometers away from the puyan ditch when Fengxian's light cavalry caught up. In other words, the speed of the light cavalry was relatively fast, and the thirty-kilometer distance was completed in only half an hour.
When I learned that Bong was chasing after me, I told everyone to stop and wait for them. Later, Feng Xian came to the front of the battle and asked me, "Brother Xian, why did you suddenly change your strategy?" ”
I said: "Those bandits are robbing in the Langmeng area, and they have been dragged by the local villagers, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come for a while, since they can't come, then let's just take the initiative to attack, so as not too many people will be slaughtered." ”
Feng Xian nodded and said, "Okay, I will lead all the cavalry to take the first step, and you will follow closely with the infantry." ”
I said, "No, let Heituo take the infantry behind, and I'll be the vanguard with you." ”
Bong nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Immediately, Feng Xian and I led 700 light and heavy cavalry to take the lead, and Li Su led the infantry to follow behind. After galloping for only about 20 minutes, they arrived here in Langmeng County, where there were about hundreds of white wave thieves burning and looting in a village four or five miles northwest of the county seat. Listening to Feng Xian's order, everyone divided into two detachments and surrounded them, and all the enemies they encountered were shot in a burst, but in a few rounds, this group of hundreds of thieves was eliminated.
The first time I killed someone, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I always felt that my scalp was numb. However, fortunately, my heart is in good quality and I don't faint blood, otherwise I would have to vomit a lot of meat and vegetables at this time.
After all the thieves were eliminated, Li Su's infantry phalanx had already arrived, so we planned to move on. However, a boy who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly stopped in front of us and said, "Sir, the villain wants to follow you to kill the thieves, please accept me!" ”
I couldn't help but look at him, but I saw that he was in rags, his body and face were covered with blood, and he was holding a firewood knife in his hand, and the edge of the knife was dripping with red blood. At this time, Feng Xian asked, "What is your surname, and where is your home?" ”
He said: "My name is Song Zhong, and my home is from this Songzhuang Village. ”
When I heard it, I felt a little funny in my heart, this child is called "Sending the End", and the name is really domineering.
Feng Xian asked again: "What about your father?" ”
He also said, "My father and mother have been killed by thieves, and I will avenge them!" ”
Feng Xian nodded and said, "In that case, then okay; Heituo, this kid will be handed over to you. ”
Li Su responded: "Understood." ”
Immediately, Feng Xian and I continued to march south, but in a few minutes we came to the southwest of Wolf Meng City, and at this time we saw that at least six or seven thousand thieves were attacking the south gate, and a small number of officers and soldiers and a large number of civilians were struggling to resist. Immediately, I divided into two routes with Feng Xianbing, one way straight to the flank of the thief army, and the other detour to block the back road of the thief army.
