Chapter 10: Crisis
Wen Chou entered the lobby, and saw that Du Yi, Jiang Cheng, Qin Zhang and others had all sat down in order, chatting happily, and the atmosphere was peaceful, just waiting for Wen Chou to come.
"Well, what's the catch?" Youzhi Du Yi was the first to ask.
Everyone in the hall saw that Wen Chou's face was not good, so they stopped chatting and laughing, and listened to Wen Chou's words solemnly.
"The situation may not be optimistic...... Wen Chou frowned, and slowly said the information from where he had surrendered and captured the prisoners.
Everyone in the hall heard that the thousand-strong Black Mountain Army thieves who were annihilated today were just a branch of Li Damu's more than 10,000 troops, and they couldn't help but gasp! I also heard that the relationship between this thief chief and Li Damu is shallow, and it is already a sure thing that Li Damu will come to seek revenge with a large army, all of them have a bitter face, look at each other, and count 3,000 militiamen and more than 10,000 bandits, and think about it with your toes to know what the ending is! How can they still be happy!
Everyone in the lobby was silent, only the sound of rapid breathing came and went, which made the atmosphere suddenly become strange, and the joy of the previous big victory had long been thrown out of the sky.
"Ahem, tell me what you think of Li Damu's more than 10,000 thieves." Du Yi saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, and everyone was already timid before fighting, so he coughed dryly.
Jiang Cheng is all over the people in the hall, except for Wen Chou, all of them are sad, looking like a catastrophe is coming, like the sunshine of the twilight, although Wen Chou is also solemn, but there is a kind of vitality and tenacity that will not give in, and he looks down on Wen Chou.
Although Jiang Cheng is not optimistic about the current situation, he thinks that it has not yet reached the point of despair, but the morale must still be encouraged, so he said slowly: "Although there are more than 10,000 thieves, our militia is only 3,000, and the strength is disproportionate, but the thief army has the following three defeats: one is that it comes from afar and will be exhausted, the second is that the thief army has more than 10,000 troops, and the food and grass will not be sustainable for a long time, and the third is that the thief army has always been chaotic and has no cohesion. And our side is waiting for work, food and grass do not have to worry, the people of Qianshou are even more united, the same enemy, and the fortifications that have been built in recent days are outside! What's so scary? ”
Everyone in the hall was already panicked when they heard that there were more than 10,000 thieves, so they still had time to think about it! When I heard Jiang Cheng say this, my eyes suddenly lit up, and when I thought about it, it was really like that! Fu happily complimented Jiang Cheng. But not all of them are without their own opinions.
"As Jiang Gong said, I don't think 3,000 immature militias can compete with more than 10,000 thieves." You Qin Zhang said melancholy.
"Although we claim to be 3,000 militiamen, only 1,000 of them have undergone a short period of training, and their combat ability is not much stronger than that of the thief army, not to mention the remaining 2,000 people, not to mention the weapons and equipment, counting the more than 600 bodies collected in today's battle, they can only arm 1,7800 people! What about the rest......" Then Qin Zhang analyzed the current military situation of Shahe Township one by one.
After listening to Qin Zhang's analysis, everyone was silent again.
"What Jiang Gong said is our advantage, and what Qin Jun said is also reasonable, and everything is based on." Du Yi stroked his beard with his hand and frowned. Then he turned to Wen Chou and said: "Wen Chou said before that the army of 10,000 people will avoid it, presumably you agree with what Qin Jun said, right?" ”
Wen Chou was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of Jiang Cheng and Qin Zhang's words, and when he saw Du Yi asking, listening to his voice, he was obviously more inclined to avoid trouble, and hurriedly arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Du Gong, what the kid thought was wrong before, and today I am fortunate to hear Jiang Gong's opinion, which makes the kid suddenly open." I think that although the thief army is numerous, and our army is outnumbered, it is not completely impossible to take advantage of it. ”
"Oh, how do you get something out of it?" Du Yi's eyes lit up and asked.
The rest of the hall was listening! It's all because of Wen Chou's previous words and deeds of ordinary people!
"Well, Jiang Gong has a saying, the thieves are numerous, the law is unknown, the command system is chaotic, and there is not much cohesion, if we use a surprise army at their most exhausted moment, and suddenly attack the middle army, so if we are lucky enough to kill their leaders and important leaders, then the big thing can be decided!" Wen Chou Zheng said.
The thieves who fled back will inevitably describe the situation of today's battle to Li Damu in detail. He must be very protective of this, how to kill it, no one can come and go freely in the army of more than 10,000! Qin Zhang asked.
Wen Chou knew that Qin Zhang was talking about killing Lin Li with the power of thunder today, and smiled confidently at Qin Zhang: "That's natural, no one can come and go freely in an army of more than 10,000 people, and still behead the enemy generals when the enemy army is around!" But among the more than 10,000 chaotic people, it is still possible to kill the head of the enemy general. ”
Wen Chou would not want to ride alone to attack the army of the Black Mountain thief Kou Wanwan, and turned to Du Yihao and said: "If it is supplemented by a fine horse, there will be a sixty percent chance of killing the enemy in the army!" ”
"Sixty percent chance, besides, how can you know if the thief army is tired or not?" Du Yi said cautiously. This is related to his net worth and life, so he has to be cautious.
"With Li Damu's friendship with Lin Li, when he heard that Lin Li was dead, he must immediately gather his men and horses and rush to come as soon as possible, according to the scout's report, he is now in Gaoyi County, about two hundred miles away from my township, and after a rapid march, he will definitely be sleepy and lacking in horses, and he can be attacked at this time!" Jiang Cheng looked at Wen Chou and said leisurely. The more Jiang Cheng looks at Wen Chou, the more pleasing it is!
The controversy in the official temple continued until the hour before it stopped, and finally Du Yi agreed to give Wen Chou a chance! If it doesn't work, the whole town will be transferred immediately!
Wen Chou rode a big black horse and walked on the official road leading from Ziguan Temple to Wenting, looked up at the sky with a full moon hanging high, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a good season for moon stars!" ”
……
The next day, before dawn, the school field that is usually used for training was already full of people! Wen Chou had expected this, and knew that the enthusiasm of these villagers would inevitably increase greatly after yesterday's war! As expected.
Not only did the villagers who received the training take an active part, but even the people who built the fortifications were also full of enthusiasm, and half of the women and children were mobilized into it, and the speed increased by more than twice at once, and the entire fortification will be completed in less than two days! Not to mention that it is impregnable, but the usual thieves are not afraid!
Yesterday, the news of Shahe Township's victory over thieves has already spread throughout its vicinity, and early this morning, there were dense numbers of displaced people rushing to the registration office of Shahe Township to recruit displaced people, and there must be countless displaced people on the way here!
The whole Shahe Township has entered a hot atmosphere again, like a huge machine, which is running rapidly and regularly!
What Wen Chou didn't know was that on the official road leading from the county seat to Shahe Township, a person who could make him very excited was rushing south.
