Chapter 114: The Thief's Headquarters
The rout of the thieves was expected by Wen Chou, and it was determined when they divided their troops to attack the two townships. Who made them too arrogant? Really, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
Between battle formations, the most afraid of rout, if you can fight and retreat, it is better to have an organized and planned defeat, and the battle damage can be reduced by half. Once there is a rout, it will inevitably be pursued and beaten by the enemy, resulting in increased battle losses.
This is the case with today's thieves and pioneers, who were pursued and killed by the Wenchou Army and the elite of Daying Township, and suffered heavy losses. When they came, there were only two or three hundred people who could successfully escape! Concentrate 100 cavalry and 100 infantry.
And the casualties of the Wen Chou army this time were also not small, the infantry was killed by nearly 100 people, and the elite were two or three hundred people, and the other wounded were not counted. made Wen Chou sigh and said: "It is worthy of the elite army that the thieves rely on, even if it encounters a rout, the threat should not be underestimated!" I hope there are not too many elite personnel like the thieves, otherwise this battle will be dangerous! ”
Wen Chou won a big victory here, and Wen Chou was not too worried about Jiang Xuan's troops in the other direction. Because, the elite of the Taolin Army are all there with him, not only Yan Liang, Dong Jiang and other brave generals in a hundred battles, but also thousands of well-equipped soldiers in a hundred battles. No matter how bad it is, there is a fierce general like Zhao Yun, who will definitely be able to save his net worth!
Not much different from what Wen Chou thought, Jiang Xuan's 2,000 personnel also won a big victory, and it was easier than Wen Chou's one, and there were fewer casualties, but dozens of people were killed, and the strength was only more than 100, that is, the villagers of Jihe Township lost more, and there were one or two thousand casualties, which can be described as a great injury.
Because Jihe Township is relatively far away, when Jiang Xuan and his people arrived, the thieves had already invaded the township and were fighting with the elite in the township. Seeing this, Jiang Xuan didn't say a word, so he led his people to join the battle, because at this time, most of the thieves had already dispersed, so that Jiang Xuan could concentrate superior forces to defeat them individually.
Coupled with the assistance of the villagers of Jihe and the existence of fierce people such as Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Dong Jiang, it is a big fall for the thieves! More than 200 thieves were captured and more than 1,000 thieves were killed! There are only less than 100 riders, more clever, and the chance to escape.
So far, the three thousand elites of the thieves and thieves have been defeated because of their arrogance. Only more than 300 people were left to flee back to Guo Daxian. On the other hand, the army of Wen Chou won a great victory, with six or seven hundred casualties, and won the glory of victory. The news quickly spread throughout Gaoyi County, Shahe Township, Taolinsai, Pingjian County and other places, making the villagers very excited and grateful.
If it is said that it is exciting and grateful, then the direct benefits of the camp and the head of the two townships of Jihe are the most grateful and the most excited for the trip of the Wenchou army. The favorability of the people of the two towns for Wen Chou and others is also rising!
The news first reached Gaoyi County, and such exciting news also made everyone in Gaoyi County, who had been extremely nervous, breathe a sigh of relief. It also made them have a deeper understanding of Wen Choujun, and they had a little bit of a mind to resist Guo Daxian.
The second is Taolinsai and Shahe Township. As the base camp of the Wenchou Army, it was naturally joyful to hear the news of the great victory at the front. Even the other townships in Pingjian County are also very happy about this news.
Everyone was happy, and the people who lived in Pingjian County were naturally no exception. Not long after, an armed force of 1,000 people also quickly left the county seat and rushed towards Gaoyi County. But as early as three days ago, Wen Chou sent someone to ask for reinforcements from Pingjian County, and now he has won a big victory, so he set off! If Wen Chou knew, he would definitely smile bitterly and say: "Although it is a little late and the number of people is not large, it is better than nothing." ”
This is the reality, if the Wen Chou army did not have a big victory in this battle, whether it was Gaoyi County or Pingjian County, no matter what he said at the beginning, he would not easily send troops to aid him. With this great victory, these personnel, seeing the feasibility of what they had said before, tentatively sent some people to assist one or two.
From this point of view, Jiang Xuan's strategy is right to the point. Although he is not a full-time mastermind, he is not to be underestimated! Jiang Xuan's wisdom is far above the current ugly soldiers!
After the war, it is natural that the whole army will have to rest, and the people of the two townships will take care of the food, medical care and other issues of the Wenchou army, and they will not worry about Wenchou. Immediately, Wen Chou and others also guided the villagers' defense construction, strong preparation, and training by the way, so that they could improve their defense strength a little.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the victory of the Wen Chou army was naturally rewarded according to merit. The thieves' vanguard was defeated, and the thieves who fled back from defeat will have to bear the wrath of their commander Guo Daxian, and perhaps Wen Chou and others will also bear his anger.
Three thousand elites, majestic departure; Three hundred remnants of the army, defeated in disgrace. Guo Daxian was so angry that he was about to burst into anger.
One hundred and ten miles away from Gaoyi County, on top of an open field, there were black mountain thieves and villagers who were guarded and coerced by thieves. From a distance, the black pressure is overwhelming, which is quite terrifying. A slight estimate shows that there are nearly 30,000 of them. The thieves are elite in the central environment, and the camp tents are densely packed, extending a range of several miles, among which there is a central big tent, which is huge and conspicuous, and Guo Daxian and his important generals are among them.
"Report to the commander, the vanguard of 3,000 people has been encountered by the Wen thief army, and" Inside the camp knelt a blood-stained thief soldier, trembling and trembling!
"And what? Swallow and spit and spit out! Don't hurry up yet! Guo Daxian shouted to the left column of a mighty and majestic person.
"Moreover, it has already been defeated, and it is only twelve out of ten who survive!" When the thief heard this, he hurriedly said.
"What! Only 12 out of 10 survived! Guo Daxian Huo Ran stood up and asked. The generals in the tent were also amazed! Who doesn't know that the pioneer is the most elite one among them, except for Guo Daxian's personal guards of 500 people! It was so thoroughly beaten by the Wen Chou Army! How could the crowd not be astonished?
"Yes, yes, the handsome, 12 out of 10 survived!" The thief replied in a trembling voice.
Guo Daxian is also a character, after he was convinced, he did not appear too angry, but gradually eased from the initial anger. Fu You knelt down and sat down, frowning and thinking. Guo Daxian did not speak, and the generals in the camp did not dare to come out, and suddenly the entire camp was quiet, and the atmosphere was quite strange and Lingran.
When the thief saw this, he didn't dare to make any extra moves, but just bowed to the ground and didn't dare to move.
After a long time, Guo Daxian let out a sigh of relief and said, "You can tell me in detail about the encounter between your team and the Wen Thief Army. God knows what he thought during this time.
"Yes, Dashuai, after I waited for the vanguard to enter Gaoyi County that day, I traveled thirty or forty miles and did not meet a single township settlement, and I learned from the guide that most of the settlements in Gaoyi County had been expelled by the volunteers who originally lived here. Now there are some people who have gathered in Daying and Jihe townships in the west of Gaoyi County! Therefore, the vanguard officer ordered the division of troops into two roads to attack these two townships."
The thief soldier told what he knew one by one, and finally talked about the attack power of Wen Chou's army, as if a god descended to earth! But they want to shirk the responsibility for the defeat caused by their arrogance.
When the thief had finished speaking, the people in the tent began to think. Even Guo Daxian frowned and was silent, the anger on his face was very obvious! It's no wonder that Guo Daxian's city government is not deep enough, because even if he is the deepest person in the city, when he heard that the three thousand elites were about to be wiped out because of the stupidity of the people under him! It is bound to be extremely angry.
"Alright, you go down, and have a good rest." Guo Daxian calmed down and spoke up. After the thief carefully withdrew from the tent, he looked at the generals in the tent and said, "What do you think of the defeat of the vanguard? ”
"I heard the words of this soldier, the defeat of this battle is indeed due to the elite of the army of literary thieves." The next of his tent will speak.
"The thief is strong, General Liu has already said to you before, it is that pimple, too arrogant, so there is this defeat!" The general, who has always been at odds with the vanguard thief general Zhang Pimple, said.
"Knowing that the thieves are coming, he still divided his troops to attack the two townships, which is really stupid!" Another thief chimed in.
"There are two reasons for the defeat of this battle, although General Zhang is arrogant, but the strong army of thieves must be the biggest reason!" A thief will speak fairly
Suddenly, everyone in the tent expressed their opinions. What's more, he has already begun to say to Guo Daxian that he should be severely punished for "Zhang Pimple", who still does not know his life and death.
Inside the tent, everyone was in full swing of discussion. It was not until it was late in the day, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the fire was reflected in the face of the people. As for whether or not any countermeasures have been discussed, it is not known to outsiders.
Early the next morning, they marched in the direction of Gaoyi County. 30,000 people, more than 10,000 thieves and elites, and more than 10,000 villagers composed of a huge torrent of people, rolling over. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, shields, woods, ladders, and ladders are all available. Even all kinds of farm tools, sticks, etc. should also be played, but after all, they are in the minority.
Most of the villagers were given a few usable weapons. But they were frightened by hunger.
The method of holding the villagers hostage is very simple. After the soldiers plundered a mile, the food and food they obtained were confiscated, and the weapons and equipment could be kept for themselves. The robbed villagers were starved for a few days, and then they were given simple weapons and a meal once a day. After a few days of starvation, most of the villagers chose to submit to the thieves.
Even if there is still some backbone, they can't bear the days of no food every day, and if they don't obey the thief, they will die, this is a simple and clear multiple-choice question.
